Also, I'm so close to finishing this next set of Kanera paper dolls, but the formatting takes forever! Hopefully will be posted in the next day or two. Sneak peek as the background for this one is inspired by this chapter!

- Kanan suddenly permanently dying right after he and Hera were finally starting to take their relationship to the next level makes it feel like their story was thrown off a cliff instead of it being the natural conclusion. It would’ve made a lot more sense if his death was a temporary obstacle for Kanera and they ended up reuniting and getting a happy ending afterward.

- Kanan’s death always felt like a way to make Hera realise that she took Kanan for granted and didn’t prioritise their relationship enough. Which is fine and all, but Hera going through that heartbreak ended up feeling pointless because it was essentially treated as the end of her story (in Rebels). If Kanan came back, Hera would’ve still had to endure the heartbreak of seeing him get blown up, but she would’ve gotten a second chance with Kanan and we would’ve seen payoff through her promising that she wouldn’t take him/their relationship for granted again.

- I’ve always found Kanan’s subtle proposal in Kindred to be weirdly placed if he died for real in Jedi Night. If he returned with Ezra in “A World Between Worlds”, we would’ve gotten payoff for that with Hera finally verbally accepting that proposal.

As there's no new chapter of Moonlight & Masquerades today, here's a sneak peek of my current art project - a Regency set of my Kanera historical paper dolls to match the fic. I'm also working on some backdrops to go along with the new outfits!

​Oh my god, I just realized something about Hera and that meilorun fruit in season 1, and now I’m literally crying.

​Remember in season 4 when Hera tells Kanan, "You haven't given me anything since the day we met"? This means that for about 15 years, he literally never gave her a single gift! And then, back in the very first episodes, Zeb and Ezra hands her this meilorun. The boys completely messed up the mission and lost the entire cargo, but they remembered what she asked for.

​Look at her face — she instantly forgets she was supposed to scold them. She holds that fruit like it’s the most precious treasure in the Galaxy. It’s because she so RARELY gets anything meant just for her!

​And when you remember that meiloruns grew back at her home on Ryloth, and she used to steal them from the kitchen as a kid... This fruit is her only connection to a happy childhood before the war took everything away. And the fact that in the series finale, Ezra leaves a meilorun in her cabin with a note saying, "...hope you still like them"...

​My poor girl. She carries the weight of the entire world on her shoulders, giving everything she has without expecting anything in return. And this chaotic space family of hers were the only ones who thought of giving her a little piece of home comfort. I love her so much. 💚💚💚💚

​Look at her nervously biting her lip at the end... 💚 Hera was so stressed for her boys because she realized how insane that TIE fighter stunt actually was. She’s the heart and soul of this crew, I love my girl so much! 💚💚💚
