So tell me: 10 things that make Vel the perfect girlfriend.

nooo, sorry you're working too! may we both get the chance to relax and be cool soon!

this is actually so hard because i think i could go up to 20 (and as the resident yapper, talk about them in extreme detail snsnss) but i will be brief... as a challenge to myself!

1. BIG BLUE EYES FULL OF YEARNING AND DEVOTION. seriously. cinta is stronger than me I'd have folded immediately

2. strikes me as a lover girl who would absolutely give you her jacket when you're cold despite having told you to bring one in the first place (and you didn't! because you thought you could handle it!)

3. shy and sweet when she's being romantic. faye marsay saying vel is shy makes me feel like she has to work herself up to doing big gestures

4. absolutely can't cook but unable to back down from a challenge so she WILL cook your favourite meal or burn everything trying

5. looks sinfully good in a hoodie. would joke about it being girlfriend material and make me fall in love with her harder. vel sartha i want you...

6. knows what you like and want before you can even say it (like when she ordered for cinta in ferrix...cute)

7. gives me huge wife guy vibes which is a massive green flag as it is. would introduce you as her wife even if you're not married. absolutely can't wait to show you off

8. HAND. HOLDING. and just generally touchy feely in how she expresses affection. i would melt (in a good way!)

9. so cute and small (she's my exact height but idc I'm putting her in my pocket)

Weißt du was? Ich habe gesagt, ich will mich mal an Julia und Falke probieren and what better time than the present (und eine Ask von dir):

tangled chargers

Wer bitteschön kam auf die Idee, Ladekabel einfach zusammengeworfen in einer Schublade aufzubewahren, ohne jegliche Ordnung oder Kennzeichnung? Ihr werter Herr Kollege anscheinend.

Genervt zog Julia an einem Ladekabel, das aussah, als könnte es eventuell für ihr Handy passen, und hatte direkt ein ganzes Knäuel in der Hand. „Falke, was ist das denn? Nutzt du die überhaupt noch oder sind die nur dazu gedacht, ungebetene Gäste auf die Palme zu bringen?“

Falke lehnte lässig im Türrahmen und schien die Situation unheimlich amüsant zu finden. „Na komm, gib mal her.“

I hope you're ready for my BRUTALLY HONEST OPINION. Because I'm about to LET YOU HAVE IT.

I really like MonKleya.

Hahahaha.

No, but I really do, though it really came on my radar FAR later than most everyone else I feel? I was -- and remain -- deeply invested in Velcinta, to the point that I didn't really have any other Andor ship. But then a few months leading up to Andor S2 I ended up looking for fanfic for it on a whim, and came across a few really great fanfics that had me interested, but not incredibly invested in the two. I also blame this on the fact that I wasn't all that invested in Kleya in S1? Which feels a bit like sacrilege to say considering how popular she is now, but at the time I thought she was cool, but preferred all the other Andor ladies.

THEN Andor S2 came along and I got hit with the MonKleya agenda with the force and ferocity of a hammer on a gong. Like, finding out Kleya was the brains behind the Axis Network really made me go 'oh god, that makes her relationship with EVERYONE so much more interesting' because Kleya has a real dislike for Vel in S1 and most of S2 because she doesn't feel as though Vel is as invested as she, Luthen and Cinta are. She distrusts Mon for the same reason, she doesn't believe Mon is going to work out, but then by the time we get to the end of S1, Mon's just given up the thing she loves the most: her daughter. Considering Kleya is described as a passionate zealot for the cause, I honestly think she would both be sympathetic to Mon, but also find her willingness to sacrifice something as important as her own daughter to be particularly inspiring. You can tell throughout S2 that she admires and respects Mon, particularly when she speaks to Cassian for the millionth time about him wanting out of the Rebellion, and when Mon see's her again in the safehouse. There is a level of care there that I just don't think can be faked. Kleya is genuinely relieved to see Mon alive! And Mon is genuinely happy to see Kleya! I wish we had had a scene with them together at the end of S2, especially considering Mon's last talk with Luthen.

So, that's my opinion. And by gawd, is it a long one.

hello friend! i did not forget this, i was simply thinking about it for a long time.

i'm not as well-versed in mon and kleya as i am with vel and cinta, so this gave me a bit of struggle. i think mon strikes me as an ENTJ (extroverted, intuition, thinking, judgement) because she's both charismatic, but also incredibly intense and highly values justice. mon also has INCREDIBLY high standards imo, and for good reason. mon's also highly analytic and while emotional at times, she always puts her beliefs above even those closest to her. so it just feels like this is the mbti personality type for mon.

kleya i find a bit easier, because as i've mentioned before, there's a lot about her that reminds me of cinta. not completely like her, as i think kleya is actually more cynical than cinta. i keep coming back to elizabeth dulau calling kleya a zealot and being like 'yes, this makes sense'. so i'm thinking INTJ (introverted, intuitive, thinking, judging). mostly because i see kleya as dismissive of emotions (both her own and others) because she's highly rational and determined. she's also super strategic, and approaches things with a clear goal in mind, while being flexible enough to change it if need be.

so

mon: ENTJ

kleya: INTJ

answering this SO late, and only to say i've already answered this one, sorry friend.

to sum it up, i don't think about it a lot!

Vielen Dank für die Fragen!! :)

9. Wie viele WIPs nimmst du mit ins nächste Jahr? (Mach uns gerne neugierig!)

Wenn ich mich nicht verzählt habe, 16 aktive. Da ist auch fast alles dabei, von so gut wie fertigen Oneshots bis hin zu ganz am Anfang stehenden längeren Sachen, bei denen ich sehr hoffe, dass mich die Motivation nicht verlässt haha

11. Gibt es Fics, die du schreiben wolltest, aber es doch nicht getan hast?

Eine Antwort darauf habe ich hier gegeben. Mir geistern auch immer mal Ideen für andere Tatortteams durch den Kopf, da habe ich mich aber bis jetzt nicht dran getraut. Mit den Figuren aus anderen Teams fühle ich mich zur Zeit einfach nicht sicher genug, aber vielleicht ist das etwas, was ich im nächsten Jahr mal angehen kann.
