CASSIAN ANDOR and JYN ERSO in STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE

first of all: same.

Second of all: Listen. You can read the Elevator Scene™ as platonic. I don't know why you would, but you can - she thought this man was dead, and she was as good as dead, and then he came back and saved her life and they are stuck out of time in the middle of a D-day level battle and neither of them have words for this scenario. This scene can work for all kinds of love, really.

But this scene. This scene makes absolutely no sense to include if we were not meant to see a physical attraction develop here. What is the point of showing us Jyn's smile turning awkward, her little glance when she runs into him? What is the point of lingering on Cassian completely losing the plot when she briefly gets closer than anticipated after smiling at him like that? What, pray tell, is the point of showing us that if they're meant to be Very Professional Coworkers, or 'sibling coded' or whatever fresh hell the interwebs have decided this is post Andor?

Most of their scenes in the latter half of this movie are filmed beat for beat like a romance movie. Like we joke about the similarities to Pride and Prejudice 2005, but the visual language is genuinely doing the same thing: Circling around two people while they are locked in a very personal moment in a crowded room. Lingering on someone's reaction to a small gesture or a careless brush from their person. Cutting to a smile with a musical cue like it is the climax of your scene. The focus on brief physical touch. Even the act structure of specifically their relationship is really, really similar - look:

Pride and Prejudice 2005:

bad first impression: Netherfield ball

argument in the rain where both accuse one another of their shortcomings: first proposal

grappling with said shortcomings, adjusting behaviours: meeting again at Pemberley

big selfless gesture: Darcy "rescues" Lydia

protagonist stands up to allegorical antagonist: Lizzie blows of Lady Catherine, who is a stand-in for... pride and prejudice

soft dramatic handholding with sun just over the horizon: second proposal at dawn

fatherly approval: Darcy and Lizzie both get approval from her father

Rogue One:

bad first impression: Jyn is forced to work with Cassian

argument in the rain where both accuse one another of their shortcomings: Eadu shuttle scene

grappling with said shortcomings, adjusting behaviours: Jyn standing up to the Council, Cassian reckoning with his guilt and responsibility

big selfless gesture: Cassian offers Jyn an army (and himself)

protagonist stands up to allegorical antagonist: Jyn faces off with Krennic and, by extension, the Empire she has tolerated

soft dramatic handholding with sun just over the horizon: The Beach

fatherly approval: "Your father would have been proud of you."

I am not seriously positing that Rogue One is a retelling of P&P, okay? I'm just saying that the movie language is saying something here and it didn't fucking stutter.

I don’t want to say anything, but in the novel he’s standing even closer behind her, and she reaches for his hand. Honestly, judging by the way they both look downward in the third gif, she could very well have done that in the film too, we just don’t fully see it.But apparently, according to what I was reading today, none of that matters anyway, because Bix is supposedly the love of his life and Jyn is just some annoying college girl he basically just met. :)

[cassiansrebels]

Some appreciation for the Rogue One novelization (again). I think it's beautiful how Cassian was living in moment with Jyn carrying his weight :

Her faith carried him with her.

He didn't say any of it. He didn't want to disturb the silence as they rested against each other, hurting and relaxed, listening to the hum of machinery and the distant billowing of fires. He stowed thoughts of old missions and thoughts of the future away; decided to focus on what he could see and hear and smell for the last moments of his life on Scarif.

When Cassian Andor died, he would be ready, and he would be content.

[achuwe]

I always feel like literally hitting people over the head with those parts from the novelization when they go on about how Cassian died holding Jyn and thinking about Bix. We know what he was thinking. Nothing. In that elevator, the moment he looked at Jyn, he accepted death. He couldn’t even bring himself to think of anyone from his past, there’s literally a line that says that, and he chose to be fully present with her, here and now. Jyn doesn’t die in the arms of a man who is thinking about his ex, which would be incredibly cruel given everything she went through and how she saw Cassian. She dies with a man who is, until his very last moment, completely there with her.

hmm but what if rebelcaptain office au smut

[cbk1000]

As a society, we need to go back to understanding that strangers on the internet are, you know, strangers. I feel lately that I'm seeing a rise in 'An author I love blocked me because they took my comment the wrong way' posts on the ao3 subreddit, and then the comment is them calling the author a fucking bitch or something like that.

Don't do this. Tone doesn't translate well in text, and if you don't have a rapport with that author, they are not going to interpret, 'You're a fucking bitch' as, 'Author I hate you for being so talented and making me feel so keenly.' They're going to interpret it as you being an asshole. You can shit talk with your friends because you have an established relationship with them and can distinguish between playful banter and genuine anger. You do not have this with a stranger, no matter how much you like their fics. You will have a much more pleasant time in fandom and not get cockblocked from interacting with your favorite writers if you remember this.

[jynandor]

Was it concern that made him fixate on her? His mission was to find Saw and, through Saw, find the pilot; find proof of an Imperial weapon that could mutilate the galaxy. If possible, he was also to find and eliminate Galen Erso—a man very likely culpable in that weapon’s creation. Jyn was first and foremost a means of finding Saw. She’d already served that purpose, which meant she was now expendable.
