littleĀ ārebelcaptainā things from the novelization
MAJOR SPOILERS, obviously, for Rogue One (and anyone who wants to read the novelization).
Jyn went through all of Cassianās things while he was off having his secret conversation w Draven and made a mental note that there wasĀ āno holoimage of a dutiful wifeā like chill girl you could just ask him if he was single
THE BLASTER PISTOL SHEĀ āFOUNDā WAS STOLEN STRAIGHT OUT OF CASSIANāS BAG LMAO IM SCREAMING
and he knows it too and lets her keep it looool
Moments after Cassian saves her life by shooting the rebel with the grenade, Jyn tackles him to the ground and saves his life in return
these two seemĀ āpressed togetherā a lot like we get it, personal space is not a thing
Cassian is literally Always Stressed about Jyn being cold and injured after their battle in Jedha
but like, side note, Cassian is literally always stressed about Jyn anyway
even when he knows sheās served her purpose in the mission and is by all meansĀ āexpendableā (and is justifying in his mind a million reasons to leave her behind) heās desperately trying to save her as Jedha is collapsing
Cassian comes up with a hundred reasons why he SHOULD shoot Galin Erso but what it comes down to in the end is the fact that he has Jynās eyes and he just CANT DO IT please someone end my suffering
when Cassian sees the explosion on the platform he whispers Jynās name
and then he RACES to save her, and the logical part of his brain is likeĀ āwhere would we even go? weāre trapped here anywayā but heās so frantic he doesnāt care, his one track brain just locks onto Jyn and her wellbeingĀ
their fight after is so emotionally charged I almost canāt handle itĀ
once Cassian realizes Jyn wonāt be getting the support from the council he slips out quietly with Bohdi and they gather people together to pull off the death star plan mission
when Jyn realizes what Cassian has done for her, how much he believes in her, and how dedicated he is to helping her, she finally starts healing for the first time in her character arc (which is why the lineĀ āwelcome homeā is so destroying likeā¦ā¦.. this is the first time in the entire book that she actually feels hope)
something I didnāt realize in the movie but was spelled out more obviously in the book: when Jyn sees Cassian shot while theyāre climbing the tower and he falls, she thinks heās dead, and is literally so distraught she almost lets herself fall after him for a millisecond hahahaha :) :) this is fine :)Ā
and when she seesĀ āthe man in the white capeā she mentally lists Cassianās death up there with her parents as ways the man has made her life a living hell, and she burns with rage
and when she realizes Cassian is alive (and that heās ended her nightmare by killing Krennic) heĀ ālooked as beautiful as anyone Jyn had ever knownā and once she beams the plans to the death star out, she stumbles to him smiling like a child
when Cassian sees her smile heās shook by how ordinary it is, how it turns her into a woman he might have known and understood āHe hadnāt known her, didnāt know her, of course. There wasnāt the time.ā NO
in the end Cassian still had a hard time forgiving himself for all the awful things he did in the name of the rebellion but looking at Jyn and knowing heād given her what she needed, that was enough.
āHer faith carried him with her.ā
As Jyn is carrying Cassian (who is SO WEAK and SO BROKEN) toward the beach, she blocks a dead rebel soldier from his view
āSomehow she found herself closer to Cassian than before. Her breathing matched his, or his matched hers, deep and steady.ā
and Cassian, completely out of strength, somehow still manages to hold her tighter, as tightly as he can, as the bright white light blinds them both and they become one with the force
(so basically, lots of tears were had) (Iām so Shook)
