Okay so I couldn't help myself I also made Bix beanies. These have the logo for her shop, Caleen Salyard, as seen on her work clothes in Andor season one.

I'm kind of obsessed with how these came out. Bix and Cassian would both look hella cute in them and I bet you would, too! Shop is here.

Andor doodles day 2-4. Maarva, Jezzi, and Bix. I tried to bring my inconsistency down in a final ditch of B&W effort and was pretty okay with it.

Fonts! Crosshatching! Unexpected mindfulness?

I just watched Andor episode 11 again to grab some screenshots, and of course I ended up getting absorbed. Noticed for the first time how the camera lingers mercilessly long and hard on the characters’ faces. And very often: faces full of emotional pain. Incredible acting on display for this.

Shedding a single tear? Yep. Here’s poor tortured Bix:

Mon facing the reality of the sacrifice of her daughter to an arranged marriage. A single tear finally leaks out:

Cassian doesn’t cry when he hears of Maarva’s death but you can see the numb shock that is so much more realistic.

And just to add to the pain and misery… this absolute genius shot which doesn’t make a lot of sense at first:

And then it cuts to this…

… and we realise that this is a point of view shot from B2EMO. It’s like looking through a lens with water distorting it.

So, the implication is clear: Bee is crying for Maarva.

The tears of a droid. Oh my heart.

New Daughters of Ferrix video dropped today! My comfort youtube channel <3

This one's got everything: discussions on eugenics, militarization, transphobia, and a little bit of Star Wars. It's 3 and a half hours long and genuinely a great use of your time.

Okay, I want to talk about the Daughters of Ferrix - and about how the moment I knew the Imperial officers stationed on Rix Road were fucked was when that guy referred to them as a “social club.” 

It’s not only a demonstration of the arrogance Cassian and Luthen attribute to the Empire (the way they overlook what they think is beneath them, as both Clem and Nemik suggest); it’s also such a blinkered, gendered view of how power works, because in so many scenes leading up to Maarva’s speech, we’ve seen Jezzi and the Daughters arranging for Maarva to get visits from her doctor, to get meal deliveries, to get access to warmer housing. We’ve seen Brasso and Bix checking in on Maarva and taking care of her, despite, as they point out, the lack of any nuclear-family ties. We’ve seen the Daughters come to collect Maarva’s body and make sure her belongings are preserved for Cassian.

And that’s a key part of the power that Ferrix builds in the uprising on Rix Road: a part that the Imperials completely miss. It’s not oppression and misery alone that make people rise up; it also takes care. Before the first brick gets thrown, there are years and years of care.
