bix’s goodbye hurts so much more knowing the end of rogue one

“I’ll find you” ARE YOU KIDING ME

DAN GILROY YOU WILL PAY

I now just need to sit and stare at my walls with a heavy feeling of sorrow in my chest because I will never be able to experience Andor for the first time again.

Something about Bix and Cassian's kid growing up in a world without a deathstar. Something about their son only knowing what few memories his mom can tell before needing to be excused. Something about him growing angry at Cassian for leaving them. Something about him letting his anger slip. Something about Bix sternly sitting their son at the table and finally sharing what happened. What Cassian did, what she did. Something about Bix squeezing their son's hands as she firmly speaks through the tears in her throat. “He would have chased us to the corners of the universe to be together. If you're angry, be angry at me. I never gave him the choice to choose you.” Something about their kid being quiet, about him unable to look at his mother as he speaks “Why did it have to be him? Why did it have to be my dad?” Something about them holding each other, both acutely aware of the space Cassian should be. “I have asked myself that everyday”

Friends, Bix was always a trope.

She was The Hero’s Ex who he Still Had Feelings for, her boyfriend was Conveniently Disposed Of, she was involved in the rebellion just enough to get Captured By The Villain, so that the hero could mount a Daring Rescue.

Why would that have changed in season 2?

bixy!!!!!! 😭😭😭

i’ve got the feeling that this will be an unpopular take but i really like Bix and her arc this season. She isn’t just a woman whose story revolves around a man,

We see her struggling to deal with her trauma and at the same time struggling with being a rebel and the consequences that follow (ig. her anguish when Cassian killed an imperial to protect her in the 2nd block of episodes). She believes in the cause, but she’s tired and ultimately just wants to live a normal life.

In the end she kinda gets both; she sacrifices Andor, who’s a big part of her happy ending, for the cause because she believes that he’ll be able to do great things for the rebellion (also her agreeing with the force healer who saw something important in Cassian). She sacrifices her life with him for the rebellion but as a result she gets to live an ordinary life. She got her ‘happy’ ending while also being a rebel to the best of capabilities, even if that wasn’t in the more obvious and palpable ‘bad-ass shooting guns’ way.
