oh wow, I did not process before that when Breq comes to bail Seivarden out of the space drunk tank and Seivarden sees her in her new clothes… it’s Seivarden’s first “oh no she’s hot” moment and oh my god, honey
‘ “you look…” she took a ragged breath, “different” ‘ honey
honestly, i think jyn erso gets a bad rap over the whole “it doesn’t matter when you don’t look up” business. like, honestly? she spent her whole childhood as a soldier in The Most Hardcore rebel cell, Saw Gerrera’s Partisans, only to be abandoned by them at 16. that mix of trauma and devotion, only to lose them like her first family and home? to know nothing for years except the fact she was ultimately expendable to the rebel cause?
yeah, no wonder that the first firefight we see her in on jedha, her priority ends up being a civilian child.
also, Jyn never really put that line into practice. she was mostly saying that to get under Saw Gererra’s skin, to get back at him. in actuality, she was willing to fight a squadron of stormtroopers for something as minor as a little girl’s cat, and she wasn’t exactly a law abiding citizen of the empire to end up in an imperial prison camp.
she may have spent several years as a criminal, disconnected from the rebel alliance, but like…so did han, guys. he was older than her, too, before ever joining the rebellion, and we all still love han solo. so why give jyn so much shit for it?
This. Thank you.

I haven’t been crazed with grief for at least ten years.
also i don’t think we appreciate enough that at one point Breq was just like
“so I am going to go outside this space ship and shoot a gun at like 4 other space ships who is with me”

you can’t say “i know batman” and get away with it in gotham. “i saw batman last night”? plausible. he uses roofs and balconies more than actual solid ground so yeah, you probably did see him. “he was only five feet away from me at the central plaza when the bomb got defused”? so was half of the city because the joker decided christmas eve was the best time for an explosion. but, “i know batman”? are you sure? are you sure you know batman? does anyone really know batman? maybe batman doesn’t know batman, the layers of secrecy on that guy are thicker than that time the gotham river got filled with dense tart sauce but the authorities thought it was blood
meanwhile in metropolis, “i ate a burrito with superman” is probably met with “you didn’t bring him to your grandma’s for that sunday roast i know she rocks? what is wrong with you? i baked him cookies while he was telling me about his mom’s cooking. how could you treat him like that, jennifer, the guy saves us from brainiac every two weeks”
