one random thing i loved about rogue one was how unsmiling jyn erso was
most of the time she was frowning at the situation she was in, including people, looking pouty and angry (not all of the time, just often enough for me to notice it)
and why shouldn’t she be? don’t get me wrong, i love bubbly heroines as well, this isn’t an either/or type of scenario, but it felt so refreshing in a way because this type of behaviour is usually much more reserved (and acceptable!) for male protagonists, holding on to their manpain, you know the whole shebang, they’re rough and gritty and hard to reach~ and they grunt and glare at things
and jyn had every right to feel the way she did, angry and betrayed and lost
and i am so glad no one tried to forcefully ~cheer her up or whatever bullshit they could’ve included
it’s just
i love her characterization and i am glad that when she finally did have a reason to smile we got to witness it as well
