Your purple champion

It is always inspiring to observe how supposed-to-be tragic destinies develop, instead, in joyful endings. How rivalries transform in friendships. How what connects us is always stronger than what divides us.

Alexsandr Kallus. Organized, composed, focused. From ISB agent to Rebel informant. Genocides, Torture, Retaliation. He has seen them all.

But, once again, redemption is the invisible thread of the Star Wars quilt. And he needs to be saved for then saving. Helped for then helping.

His champion is, in a strong and clear metaphor, the ultimate enemy.

Garazeb Orrelios. Imponent, grumpy, adorable Lasat warrior.

Absolutely the most unlikely pair you can think of.

So, obviously, totally perfect.

If you see more than a friendship between them, it is up to you.

[I truly do not count. I slash the red M&M's with the yellow M&M's, so...]

They are true soulmates. Maybe as just as genuine soldiers can be.

So, today I share with you this adorable couple, featuring two in-universe "buns packages" by @raewardstudios.

I am absolutely in love with this keychains series. Extremely creative, every Rebels character has his own little unique "bun" or "snack" flavor and package design.

Zeb's space waffle looks so good. "The best snack on the go". Alexsandr's creamy puff pastry is purply purple, "juicy and fluffy". And I envisioned them surrounded by a mountain of sugar. 💚💜
