Motivated by this post from @basada-en-la-esperanza

[For an everybody-lives au, not necessarily in any of my ‘verses or fics]

~ I know there’s a post out there somewhere defining all of these but for the life of me I can’t find it so I’m just guessing

(P.S. if you know where that post is PLS LET ME KNOW it will bother me)

Okay back to content:

Headcanons:
J: If Jyn had received a formal education, she would’ve been recognized as a genius. But as it is, everything she knows she basically taught herself, and even if her knowledge is incomplete or biased in certain ways, it’s super impressive.
C: Basic was the first language Cassian learned after his native one, and the hardest to master. He knows several other languages now, all of them better than he knows Basic. 

Heartcanons:
J: Jyn’s been in love before. At one point, while bouncing around the Galaxy between Saw’s abandonment and Wobani, she met another slicer and fell in love with them. She didn’t mean to, it just happened. When she realized how far in she was, she left them in the middle of the night, with no warning or note. She changed her identity and never saw them again. It was her first and only relationship before Cassian. 
C: Cassian’s secretly sentimental. He has keepsakes and mementos hidden in his room even though he’s never sure he’ll come back to base. He’d leave them in a heartbeat if he had to, but he still has them. 

Gutcanons:
J: Jyn has spent significant periods of time food insecure, and is an expert at rationing, because she can’t fight if she’s weak. She never wastes anything from the Rebellion canteen, and Cassian gets used to finding odd bits of food hidden around their quarters.
C: Cassian will always lose a hand-to-hand fight against Jyn. Every single time. He secretly likes it though 😉 

Junkcanons:
J: Jyn is a sass master, outdone only by Kay. (looks Cassian dead in the eye- “I found this blaster.”) Fight me
C: Cassian’s alcohol tolerance is garbage

Spleencanons
J: Jyn has never compromised her central morals– even at her most desperate. She never worked for an Empire sympathizer, and never stole from someone she didn’t determine deserved it. 
C: After Eadu, Cassian never lies to Jyn again. Not even a lie of omission
