Notes: for endlesstwanted at space_swap
I was rewatching the movie when Kamala's quote (she says it @ 2:56 in the vid, it's intentional 'talky-face') "I was born for this" set me on the hunt for a song, and this is what I found.

VID: Andor: I'm On My Way (a Kleya vid)

Title: I'm On My Way (a Kleya vid)
Fandom: Andor
Music: I'm On My Way by Rhiannon Giddens
Summary: I know what to do
A vid about perseverance and doing what needs to be done.
premiere for confabcon 2025
Notes: Kleya Marki was as much a lynchpin of the rebellion as Luthen or Cassian, and learning her backstory near the end of season 2 was incredible. Like so many other SW heroes, she's lost her family at a young age and it led to her committing to take down the Empire. Her 'found family' relationship with Luthen and how it ended was such a gut punch and was well done.

VID: Andor: People I Don't Like (a Mon Mothma vid)

Title: People I Don't Like (a Mon Mothma vid)
Fandom: Andor
Music: People I Don't Like by UPSAHL
Summary: let's pretend we like each other
Parties, politics, and dealing with all these men is exhausting.
Notes: I love all her outfits, and the dance scene in season 2 lives rent-free in my head. This vid doesn't dive into that dance scene as such (although I use the footage). While clipping, I was also struck by just how many scenes she has with men and not other women. She truly was standing alone while secretly trying to fund the rebellion, and it must've been exhausting.

But mostly, this was just fun

This was a short-lived (7 episodes) show with a premise that's basically "ER in space". It's very much 90s TV - in the production values, the aspect ratio, the romance subplot, etc. It's also very 90s in that it was rather hopeful about humanity's future. I was so happy that another soul had seen this show! <333

VID: Andor: Shape of My Heart

Thu, 10 Oct 2024 22:22:21 GMT

Posted by: colls

Title: Shape of My Heart
Fandom: Andor, Rogue One
Music: Shape of My Heart by Sting
Summary: Follow your heart into the fight against fascism
Notes: Made for my anti-hero square vid_bingo. Thank you to all the folks at at communal_creators for the encouragement.

I love the theme in Andor and Rogue One of common folks and disenfranchised people rising up to fight fascism. It feels like such a relevant subject these days.
Cassian isn't a traditional hero. He seems almost doomed to fail from the very start. And when we first meet him in Rogue One, he shoots an informant, Tivik, rather than risk his being captured and interrogated by Imperials. This seemingly cold-blooded streak continues and drives home the idea that Cassian is a man who can accept that the ends justify the means. Andor shows us that his original motivations weren't born from idealism like some other heroes joining the Rebellion. Even after he joins up, we can surmise he holds onto that sharp edge of cynism allowing him to be a very effective weapon - one who is also willing to 'burn his life for sunrises he won't live to see'. When Nemik claimed Cassian was his perfect reader, is this what he envisioned?

Hopefully, we'll see more of that journey in season 2. In the meantime, here's a vid about following your heart into the fight against fascism. I hope you enjoy it!

"Tell him... none of this is his fault. It was already burning, he's just the first spark of the fire. Tell him he knows everything he needs to know and feels everything he needs to feel. And when the day comes when those two pull together, he will be an unstoppable force for good. Tell him I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong." Maarva to Cassian via Brasso, ep 1.12
