I just. Love Mando’a so fucking much. It’s so great.

They have three different words to describe ways to be stabbed. Bikadinir (to stab with a broad blade; “run through”), chekar (to stab with a small blade, “shiv”), and kalikir (to stab with a narrow blade, “skewer”).

They have one pronoun. Kaysh. That’s it. Buir is just parent, there’s no mom/dad. No son/daughter, just ad, ad’ika, ikaad. Child. Vod can mean sibling, friend, comrade. All at once. Amazing.

They have dozens of ways to insult someone. Di’kut, someone who forgets to put their pants on. Utreekov, emptyhead. Najaat, no honor. Dini, lunatic. Kaysh mirsh solus, “their brain cell is lonely.” Skanah, “much hated person/thing.” Hut’uun, coward. Ge’hut’uun, not even notable enough to be called a coward (how insulting is that?). Demagolka, originating from Demagol, the name of a scientist who was so fucking shitty that his name became the worst insult a Mandalorian could call you. And that insult is child abuser, monster, war criminal, someone with no honor.

And then there’s “shab”, which we don’t have an official definition for, but the fandom collectively agrees it means “fuck.” Because we have shabiir (to screw up), shab’la (screwed up), shab’rudur (to screw with), and shabuir (jerk but much stronger, AKA asshole/motherfucker).

And Mando’ade don’t say “I love you.” They say “Ni kar’tayli gar darasuum.” I hold you in my heart for eternity. Like. Are you serious. That’s so much better than “I love you.” If someone said that to me I would die on the spot.

Mirshmure’cya means “brain kiss.” Slang for headbutt, which is a thing Mando’ade do a lot, apparently. And it’s a sign of affection, too. They show affection by gently bonking their helmets together. How adorable is that???

Oh, and shereshoy. A lust for life “and much more.” Represented by orange on their armor. “The enjoyment of each day and the determination to seek and grab every possible experience, as well as surviving to see the next day - hanging onto life and relishing it.” And that “oy” at the end of it, derived from “Oya!”

“Oya”, which can mean so many things. A war cry before a fight or hunt. A celebration. An encouragement. “Let’s hunt!” “Hoorah!” “Cheers!” “That’s the spirit!”

This post got much longer than I meant it to lol. I’ll stop here. But you get the gist. Mando’a is a wonderful language and I am in love with it.

I consumed all of your reality. Its every element now rests in a separate pocket dimension.

Spaces, living beings, information, even memories. They shall remain there until entropy does its work, turning everything into a uniform static mass.

Along with you, of course!

STOP TELLING DISABLED PEOPLE TO EAT ORGANIC TO FIX THEIR DISABILITIES.

STOP TELLING DISABLED PEOPLE THEY'RE JUST "UNFIT" AND WORKING OUT WILL FIX THEIR DISABILITIES.

STOP TELLING DISABLED PEOPLE THAT THEY'RE JUST MENTALLY ILL AND GETTING THERAPY WILL FIX THEIR DISABILITIES.

STOP TELLING DISABLED PEOPLE MODERN MEDICINE IS MAKING THEM DISABLED.

STOP BLAMING DISABILITIES ON VACCINES.

More about the challenge under the cut!

Please Note: Make a list of all your promos and send them to @mayalaen at the end of promo time!

All you need to include is a list of what type of promo you put up and which fic/art it was for. You don’t have to include links, but they’re helpful, and being helpful to the one who tallies your points will earn you a big bonus!

The mods will work at getting everybody’s promos up on the various sites, so if you don’t want your posts mirrored on another site, please let @mayalaen know. If you’re on PF, please feel free to post your own promos to the  community.

All Times are GMT-7 Posting Dates August 15th at 12am through August 19th at 11:59pm - Promo Dates August 15th at 12am through August 23rd at 9:00pm - Challenge Ends August 23rd at 9:00pm

HOW TO PLAY: Post fanfic or fanart to AO3 (include it in the spncoldesthits collection on AO3) and reblog this post with an AO3 link to your fic. (Please  include the link in your reblog. The point is so your followers can see  the link to your fic when you reblog the post.)

FIC POINTS

hits +1 point

kudos +10 points

comments +20 points

bookmarks +30 points

PROMO POINTS: Fic reviews, liveblogging, banners/artwork, podfic/vlogging all earn you bonus negative points (please tag your posts with #spncoldesthitspromo) so the more advertising you do, the better your changes of winning!

You can earn a LOT of bonus negative points for making a masterpost of your promos and sending it to @mayalaen when you’re done.

Please keep all comments relevant to the fic and don’t spam the comments section with nonsense.

If we have reason to believe you're commenting and promo'ing without having read the fics, you will receive a +1000 point penalty.

We reserve the right to award negative points on a whim for obvious time investment in promos and for general awesomeness. This is for fun and to help people feel better about their writing and art, so let's be awesome to each other!

Remember, points are bad and the winner is the one with the lowest score. Have fun, and may the biggest loser win!
