WIP Big Bang Claims (Round 2): Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

Form and instructions can be found at link below!

Rogue One #148 Title: Never So Human Pairing/Characters: Cassian Andor/K-2SO (Star Wars) Rating: Explicit | E Warnings/Tags: Graphic Violence Accidental cannibalism (in a dream); human sacrifice; brainwashing/mental subjugation; asphyxiation (not the sexy kind); Summary:

Everyone knew the story: Once upon a time, humanity ruled the earth, but our self-destructive nature led to disaster. Climate crisis, war, disease, and radioactive dead zones killed enough of us to threaten extinction.

But then, in our bleakest hour, the Fae stepped out of legend and into Southern California. Their magic cleansed the land, calmed the skies, and protected us from our own worst impulses. We showed our gratitude with obedience and, once every seven years, by surrendering an innocent life.

Cassian thought the story was bullshit.

#149 Title: To The Victor Pairing/Characters: Cassian Andor/K-2SO, Chirrut Imwe/Baze Malbus, Cassian Andor & Jyn Erso. Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, K-2SO, Baze Malbus, Chirrut Imwe, Bodhi Rook Rating: Mature | M Warnings/Tags: Chooses not to use Warnings Hunger Games Fusion, Canon-Typical Violence, Canon-Typical Victor Sex Work Summary: A lot of people were surprised when Jyn Erso emerged as the victor of the Hunger Games.

More fool them.

(A Star Wars/Hunger Games fusion, following Jyn, Cassian and other characters as they navigate the world of the Capitol, mentoring in the Hunger Games, and trying to bring the whole thing down.)

He has to believe in himself. He has to believe in the strength of the numbers that a revolution represents. And he has to meet many characters. It's going to be a very rich second season because you were introduced to many characters in the first season, and there are so many characters that we all know have to come and be a part of this for Rogue One to happen, right?

There is a pro-transgender Labour revolt against health secretary Wes Streeting. You can sign the letter.

Labour health secretary Wes Streeting has continued the transphobic policies of the previous Conservative government. Now Labour members have published and open letter anyone can sign.

Wes Streeting has said:

“This ban [on puberty blockers] brings the private sector in line with the NHS. We are committed to providing young people with the evidence-led care that they deserve”.

Evidence shows that blockers are of great help to young trans people, as it gives them some breathing space before puberty changes their bodies in traumatic ways.

Streeting is either lying about what medical research on trans people says or he has not done his homework. As a gay man he should know how oppression and erasure works.

The letter states:

International evidence shows that puberty suppressing hormones are a safe and effective way to temporarily pause a young person’s puberty, giving them time to consider their options for transition. Much of the concern around their use stems from the idea that those who take puberty blockers go on to use cross sex hormones as part of their transition. We do not think that trans young people growing up to be happy and healthy trans adults is a bad outcome while rates of de/retransition are exceptionally low. Rather than honouring Labour’s manifesto commitment to “remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition & acceptance,” you have decided to strip trans young people of their bodily autonomy, undermining important medical principles, such as Gillick Competence, in favour of upholding the Conservative approach of politicising the lives of trans people. Even the widely discredited Cass Review does not go so far as to recommend the criminalisation of puberty blockers for trans young people.

You can read and sign the letter here.

John: I loved Riz Ahmed in Nightcrawler. As we were looking for a character for Bodhi Rook, I made sure to throw his name in the hat. He did a few auditions for us. He kept cranking out different versions of Bodhi.

Gareth: Riz filmed himself. He was in New York. He did a little thing of, like, this is how Bodhi could be.

Riz: And then, obviously, the obsession starts where you start doing 50,000 takes of some things. You're left to your own devices. And then [Gareth] was like, “Great, we've got what we need” but I didn't stop there. I just carried on recording more takes and just emailing him. I was like “Screw it, I've got his email address now.”

Gareth: (Describing Riz's audition tapes) “He could be like this. Or he could be like this.'” I was like, “Okay, anyway, you've got the part.” And then we got another eight clips.

Yes, it all started out as a mild curiosity in a junkyard. And now it's turned out to be quite a... quite a great spirit of adventure, don't you think?

To the Victor chapter 9: Parade

Jyn, Cassian and the other mentors arrive at the Capitol with their tributes.

Watching the kids disappear into the Remake Centre left Jyn with a pit in her stomach. She had so little time to prepare them, and what good would her preparation actually do? She hadn’t been able to save Lena or Tak last year. How long would it be before she’d have to call Kestrel and Brice’s families with the news? But this year felt different. Last time she had been here, watching Aurelia steering Lena and Tak away, she had been holding herself at as much of a distance as she possibly could, already trying to decide when she could reasonably have another drink. She had been determined not to engage with the other mentors, not to get herself too involved. This year… this year she had people on her side. And a plan, however fragile. Her father’s words galvanised her: The Arena is a weapon. He was here somewhere, in the Capitol. If only she could reach him.
