kleya and luthen being the centre of the rebellion from the start. they’re each others catalyst, spinning tightly together and gaining energy with each turn. spurring others into action, random moments across the galaxy connected by what luthen and kleya build. the way that kleya’s comms bring luthen to bix to cassian. send vel and cinta off apart and then together. are a voice to the ghormans. get mon from a senate arrest to yavin… and then when everyone’s flown away, when the rebellion has cast luthen aside, it’s kleya’s same old rebellion radio which still reaches cassian. gets the words death star from the isb to the rebel alliance

and kleya is so sure she can’t do this without luthen. all she believes in is her connection to him. until cassian and melshi drag her to yavin and mon wants to know if she’s okay and vel finds her in the forest because she has friends everywhere. she’s the connection between them all. and when kleya wakes up and stands smiling out at the heart of the rebel base realising that even if luthen has burned what they built has lived on… I don’t have lately, I have always. it will always be because of them

“If you’re not a rebel spy, you missed your calling.” That must have been such a slap in the face for Dedra. I actually cheered here. The most fascist of all of them is accused of being a rebel. That’s the irony I’m living for.

oh this?? this is diabolical, I love it

These are good points!

🚨ANDOR S2 SPOILERS🚨

Can’t stop thinking about how The Empire prioritizes subordination over competence.

Dedra FOUND Luthen. She solved the puzzle. She found a key part of the Rebellion. The Mastermind behind Aldhani. The guy who had a mole in the ISB’s inner circle for YEARS. But because she stepped out of line to do so she was thrown out. It didn’t matter that her insubordination was for the good of The Empire. The Empire lost one of their best minds because she hurt egos.

Anyways you know who would’ve loved Dedra?

I just KNOWWW Palpatine was missing Thrawn during Andor S2 and Rogue One 🤣🤣🤣 that guy took all the Empire’s braincells to a whole new GALAXY IJBOL

one of the hundred things I love about Andor is that in the end, all the villains were destroyed not in an epic showdown with the rebels or whoever but by the machine that they worked for. syril was a faceless casualty of the genocide he helped create. dedra was done in for putting ambition over conformity to the machine, and she took down partagaz, who essentially created her, along with her. even heert was quite literally killed by his own droid and his own men. all of them were crushed by the wheel they dedicated their lives to keep turning. it's just so deeply deeply satisfying.

Adults: Following rules is good, not following rules is bad

Little me: Okay :] *follows a rule*

Adults: Oh my god look at this loser. He doesn't know that this rule is Secretly Okay To Not Follow. Dumbass. Let's all laugh at him

- thinking about the ghormans

- thinking about how all they wanted to do was protect their homeland

- thinking about how the empire invested so much time money and resources into their campaign against the ghormans

- thinking about how the ghormans were only doing their best and yet playing right into the empire’s hands.

you don't "hate kids," you hate being forced into a caretaking role.

you don't "hate kids," you hate censorship passed off as family values.

you don't "hate kids," you hate the constrictiveness of the nuclear family.

you don't "hate kids," you're just not used to occupying fully age diverse spaces so you're not used to the noise or the many different kinds of needs.

you don't "hate kids," most public spaces just aren't built for kids, and so the few kids you see are always uncomfortable and distressed.

you don't "hate kids," you hate the intense social rules assigned to kids and anyone who interacts with kids.

You don't "hate kids," you hate how society reproduces its most restrictive elements and how kids are powerless to resist it.

It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

Hey, don't cry. At least you're not a zionist

I think clone wars dark side anakin is my favorite dark side anakin. because yeah, in the movies, you can tell he's gonna fall. maybe not in the phantom menace, but in attack of the clones and revenge of the sith, it's so obvious! everything about him just oozes both light and dark, the dark steadily winning. but clone wars anakin? clone wars anakin? oh, he's a sun. he's blindingly bright and he's happy. we can go full episodes without a trace of the dark side showing up on his face or in his actions, which makes when he does go dark even more jarring. when he snaps and attacks and the imperial march plays faintly in the background, when not even ten minutes earlier in the episode he was joking around with ahsoka. that is peak dark side anakin to me, because that is what i imagine anakin truly was. happy and fun and then snapping, terrifying. it's why no one believed it when he fell. why obi-wan and padme and ahsoka didn't see it coming.

Andor Appreciation Day 2 - Everyone Has Their Own Rebellion

@andorappreciation

The statements "burying your gays is defined as when a gay character is specifically killed off for the sake of being killed off and given much less prominence than any cishet character deaths, Cinta’s death was afforded just as much weight as Brasso’s (and we know that the point is most of the main cast aren’t going to survive)” and "it was still really fuckin upsetting as an audience to watch Cinta just die after finally getting an onscreen kiss" can and should coexist

Guys. Killing Cinta was not an example of bury your gays. That trope takes place when a gay character's death is metatextually treated as less important than a het character's. The unimportance of deaths in the pursuit of the rebellion is literally a central theme in this show!!! Cinta is the EIGHTH named rebel to die in this show!!! Not to mention Kreegr's men, or even the Narkina escapees. Every single one of these characters will die an uncelebrated yet ultimately important death in the pursuit of freedom!! Yes, killing a character after they've had a chance to be openly gay is a trope but they're treating it no differently than Brasso's death last arc. He too found love, and it didn't save him. The camera doesn't even link her death to vel in any way- her death is another symbolic death representing the danger of disorganization, infighting, naivety, not following orders, etc. Yes I wish some gay characters would get to survive onscreen and even live a happy life. But you're looking for it in the wrong show.
