#Amban Phase-Pulse Rifle

[knightscanfeeltoo]

I wanna see "Real-Life", Classic Boba Fett wielding an Amban Phase-Pulse Rifle from "The Mandalorian" using Source Filmmaker because he still used them before Din Djarin in "The Holiday Special" Cartoon and its not like we'll ever see Boba use them in like some New Season for Mandalorian or TBOBF Show anyway...

(also the mandalorian amban phase-pulse rifle look somewhat like the ee-tr3 concept rifle from star wars 1313, which makes it even more fitting for boba fett to wield din djarin's rifle, just saying...)

Front Covers for Fics and WIPs + Fic Titles Ask Game

(Yes, it’s two games for the price of one, folks!)

Thank you for the tags, @burntheedges and @nerdieforpedro; your covers are so gorgeous! In fact, every single cover that’s come across my dash so far has been so well thought out and perfect for the fics – I just love getting a visual peek into how authors envision their own work! And a huuuge thank you to the amazingly talented @saradika for making these cool templates to help us share our visions for our fics 💙

Work is so busy rn, but I really wanna write and play fun games like this, so I sacrificed sleep and made most of these at like 5am 😫

Published works…

I had already made a cover for Be-All. A massive thank you to @djarin-desires for allowing me to crop and use one of her super-sexy brooding Din pics for Never Look Down. There’s a disappointing lack of Din crotch shots in the actual show, so this was perfect for the subject matter. Check out the uncropped shot and more brooding Din here!

And my upcoming fics…

I should also credit Svetlana from KamuiCosplay, who is holding Din's Amban phase-pulse rifle on the cover of TSATT. See her YouTube tutorial on how to build your own.

Meanwhile, I was also tagged by @sixhours, @burntheedges and @ishabull in a ✨ Fic Titles Ask Game ✨ (thank you all!), and since there’s a certain amount of crossover, I’m combining these games into one post.

Send me an ask with the title of one of my fics and I’ll tell you why I chose it, the song/poem/quote it’s from, the line in the fic that inspired it, and (if it’s a WIP) maybe share a snip!

Published works…

🔷 Be-All And Endor [406.6k words - Din x f!reader - slow burn love n' smut]

🔷 Never Look Down [13.2k words - Din x OFC/f!reader - angsty fluff]

🔷 Din Djarin: The Contractor [1k words - Din x gn!reader - silly imagine]

🔷 The Long Goodbye [45 words - sentimental!Din - flash fic]

And my upcoming fics…

🔷 Hush [Din x OFC/f!reader - secret relationship spice - *COMING SOON*]

🔷 Held Is The Seed [Din x f!reader - smut city]

🔷 To See A Thousand Things [Din x f!reader - angsty smut]

🔷 Aruetiise [Din x gn!reader - a helmet reveal one-shot]

🔷 Final Sanctuary [Din x OFC - smutty one-shot]

🔷 Din Djarin In Jarringly Domestic Situations [Din x OFC - space romcom]

I’m super-late to both these games, and as I was trying to decide who to tag, I noticed the same people kept being tagged in the fic covers one over and over. So I spent some time this weekend going through my list of writer mutuals and checking to see who hadn’t already been tagged and/or hadn’t posted any Canva designs yet. I’m hoping this will help the book cover design one reach beyond just the Pedro fandom, too, and even if you’re not up for participating in that, maybe the fic titles one is more your style. No pressure either way, of course 😌💙

Mandalorian Culture Headcannons

The mandalorians created the amban phase pulse rifle to circumvent bans on disruptor weaponry, since amban could take multiple types of ammunition (slugthrower, blaster, explosive and disruptor), it technically wasn’t a disruptor and fell into a legal gray area

Sundari used to be called keldabe, the new mandalorians renamed it to distance themselves from the traditionalist ways

One reason why satine became unpopular during the clone wars was because mandalore used to have a thriving weapons industry, being renowned for producing high quality equipment, after satine took power she shut this down, and because of that when the clone wars erupted mandalore missed out on a huge amount of money, if they had taken advantage of the war, they probably wouldn’t have had a food shortage, this is yet another case of satines ideals overriding her practicality

Each clan has its own color scheme:

Clan Vizsla: white and red

Clan Ordo: brown and black

Clan Rook: purple and yellow

Clan Wren: yellow and silver

Clan Eldar: green and orange

Clan Kryze: blue and purple

Clan Awaud: red and orange

Clan fett: green and yellow

(Gray is a pretty common color)

I've seen someone call Din's rifle a "warcrime of a blaster" and I wonder if they knew how right they were. See, the official name for that weapon is amban phase-pulse blaster, and it's a disrupter rifle.

Now, if you watched Rebels you probably should be thinking "oh," but for the unaware, Disrupter weapons, specifically the T-7, were used by the Empire to effectively genocide the Lasat people.

It's one of the presumably few weapon types banned by both the Imperial Senate and the Rebel Alliance due to the following;

"When fired upon a biological target, the victim was disintegrated atom by atom, resulting in a slow, painful death"

Now, based on the show the Amban's deaths don't look slow, but the rest? Pretty clearly applies.

[lothricknightgirl]

Y'know what I'm thinking about at the moment

Din's rifle.

Specifically, Din's Amban Phase-Pulse Distruptor Rifle.

Specifically specifically, the blaster that may or may not make Din a war criminal.

Yes, a war criminal.

Canonically, Distruptor Blasters are outlawed by the Empire and the Republic, both iterations of it.

The reason for this is that they break down biological matter and straight up disintegrate it.

Those Jawa's we watched Din murk? Yeah, they died a horrifically agonizing death that only lasted for all of a millisecond before they turned to ash and left nothing behind besides a pile of cloth.

But, like, being a Mandalorian, which, duh, and a bounty hunter, which is in such a grey area of the law that it loops right back around to being illegal, and a member of the Children of the Watch, a known splinter group of a notorious terrorist group responsible for two whole coups, Death Watch, that might be the least of his problems.

I don't know why I'm fixating on this detail, but I think it makes him funnier.

The air is arid; dirt and sand swirl in the dry wind. Your helmet, armor, and gear have been modified to stand the conditions; the lack of moisture, the chance of toxins, and the dangerous people hardened from the life-changing disaster that brought about The New World, a galactic wasteland.

Before you and Din is a derelict mountain of vehicles, spacecraft, and machinery. The two of you are just looking for some parts to get your speeder bikes up and running again. The parts they require have long since gone extinct so you two have been cobbling together the necessary components from whatever you salvage. This wreckage is practically a gold mine.

You had found a container of fuel, "starfire" The New World called it. It made your thrusters spark with flames like a star, hence the name.

Unfortunately, someone else had their eye on the container and tried to forcibly take it from you. The scuffle brought you to now; your helmet removed and a blaster pressing into the side of your head. Din stood across from you, holding his amban phase pulse blaster at the ready.

The bandit uses you like a shield and shuffles backwards, trying to make it to his own speeder.

"Sorry, Din," you say and wince as the bandit presses the blaster hard into your temple.

"Shut it!" the bandit snaps.

"It's gonna be okay," Din says calmly through his vocoder, his finger resting on the trigger of his rifle. "Let 'em go and we pretend this didn't happen."

"Not a chance!" the bandit spits out. "I don't want you getting any ideas! Now stand down or I shoot both of ya!"

"Din," you breathe as the thief continues backing towards his speeder.

"I know," Din breathes out as he slowly shuffles close with every step the bandit takes back.

You know this thief will shoot you and shoot Din or he'll get away and bring his crew back with him. But you know there isn't a good shot anyone can get from where the bandit hides behind you. But you know Din can.

"Hey," Din says calling your attention to him. "Do you trust me?"

You can't see his eyes due to the helmet, but you can feel it in your bones what he means. He wouldn't even try this if he thought it might hurt you.

You nod.

The bandit pulls back the hammer on his blaster. "I mean it! Get back!" he shouts.

Din makes sure his rifle is tucked into his arm just right as he looks down the sights.

"Close your eyes for me," Din says to you.

You shut your eyes and take a deep breath.

You hear the bandit shouting and then the sound of a trigger clicking and a blaster firing.

I'm going to be making a prop weapon for my mandalorian cosplay. Should I make the amban phase-pulse rifle or the tusken cycler rifle? I've always liked the design of the Amban phase-pulse rifle but the Tusken cycler rifle would be much easier and probably look better in the end due to it having less intricate details.

Nobody would know this is supposed to be Mukuro Ikusaba as a Space Bounty Hunter before reading this Description, even when though she has her Knife and a Fenrir Symbol on her Back Hand...

[missanthropologist]

my neighbors already think my roomie and I are nuts, so let’s roll with it, right? There was a lot of surprised sounding gasps coming from the street side of my yard, but I couldn’t see who was doing the gasping or how their face looked ‘cause well, I can’t see shit in this helmet...and I’m still stinkin’ proud of this nerf gun repaint.  ANYWAY. here’s my casual Din Djarin with an appearance by Grogu. 

[slugbuggie]

yknow when you watch a show and then immediately have the urge to draw your favorite character?

it’s just the way of things right? you gotta draw your fave first!

my first mandalorian sketch is his rifle and idk what that says about me but.,,

fave character💕💕

The Amban phase-pulse blaster was a type of blaster rifle notably utilized by Boba Fett around the time of the Battle of Yavin. It had a distinctive two-pronged end and was capable of harming large creatures.

Chapter 23: Homesickness

Din returned to his room feeling pain, he was missing Luke every minute more and more and this Miko man appeared before his eyes like a ghost haunting him, the ghost of Luke, he thought. He sat in silence on his couch, wanting to be on Yavin IV holding Grogu and holding his little Jedi. "There's only one Luke." He said under his breath. He fell asleep curling up on the couch in full beskar.

Grogu was sitting on Luke's lap, holding his silver ball between the little fingers of his two hands, staring at the sphere with fixed eyes, inches apart of his nose. Luke caressed his ear "You like it so much." He said resting the back of his head on the couch.

"Buir." Grogu said through the force.

"Right." Luke chuckled leaning forward now, "It's shiny like Buir."

"Buir coming back. Promised Grogu." The baby sent his thoughts to his Master.

"Yes, Grogu. He's coming back soon. If I know something about your father it's that he always keeps his promises." Luke turned his head to look through the window. The sky was blue. "He will be back..." He said with sadness in his eyes.

~

Koska found Din in the armoury, she's been looking for him the entire morning "Din! I finally see you, how are you?"

Din was carrying an amban phase-pulse blaster "I've been better." Koska frowned curling his lips up. "This is a disruptor sniper rifle, one of my favourites."

"What do you need that for?" She walked towards Din.

Din shook his head lightly "I don't... need it. Just missing the old days." Actually he was missing Grogu.

She nodded and chuckled "Well, I'm ready for our daily sparring, I missed that when you were off planet."

Din looked at her, she was smiling, tilting her head to the right. "I think that we don't need to do that anymore."

Her face changed, she looked confused "Din, you need more practice, you need to control that saber, to make it yours, truly yours."

"No."

"Come on, Din." She said loosely clasping his vambrace.

"I can't do it. It's wrong." He said, leaving the rifle on a shelf as he was walking away. Bo-Katan was standing by the doorway, she followed Din with her eyes when he passed by her side, then she looked at Koska arching one eyebrow with her arms crossed over her chest plate, Koska shrugged in response.

Din wouldn't spar with anyone again except Luke. "It's wrong." He said to Koska, and he really felt that way. To Din, spar with Luke was another form of sex, he would never cheat on his cyar'ika. Din has found the ultimate warrior in Luke and he was in love with him in every single way.

He was walking to his room to be alone and feel miserable when Paz and another mandalorian approached him. "Vod, I want you to meet one of your men."

Din sighed rolling his shoulders and rolling his eyes under his helmet "Alright."

"This is Miko, he's part of your royal guard. Miko, this is your Mand'alor." Paz moved his hand gesturing at Din. The mandalorian took off his helmet and Din froze at the sight. The kid, because he looked like a kid, was flipping his blonde hair, his face resembled Luke's, he had brown eyes though. His smile was wide and bright, the kid was radiant, but not as radiant as Luke, and he looked younger, much younger than the little Jedi.

"It is an honour to meet you, Your Highness." He bowed before Din. His smile reached his eyes, just as Luke's. Din shook his head. "I will give my life to protect you, Mand'alor. This is the way."

Din nodded, eyes wide open behind his visor, "This is the way..."

"This kid is a jem, vod. You wouldn't believe it, he looks young but he's skilled and the best of the royal guard. He will make us so proud." Paz snapped his head towards Miko "Alright kid, dismissed." The kid nodded and walked away. Paz looked Din up and down "You know, the kid reminds me of someone, but I can't put my finger on it, maybe you can help me."

"What are you doing?" Din was done.

"Come on, I'm helping you, vod." Din stared at him without saying a word, without making a move. "Hey, I got it last night, you can't have your kid's Master, but this boy... This boy you can have." He was jostling Din.

"You're insane. How old is he?"

"Twenty-one, twenty-two... it doesn't matter, he's legal. I promise."

Din turned around "Kriff off, Paz". He was furious.

"Hey, the kid asked to meet you, and then... imagine my surprise when I saw he was your type!" Type? What type? Din thought while he was walking into his room. He was closing the door and Paz held it with one hand resting his body against the door frame.

"Listen vod, the kid's interested, I can arrange it, just give me the order."

"I said kriff off!" Paz moved away from the door and Din slammed it shut behind him.

~

That night Din made it into the dinner area, he had never been there before. The room was huge and crowded, they all went silent when Din walked in.

"Take your seat, please, Mand'alor." Koska said from the other side of the room, Din walked towards her. He sat at the centre of the main table, he didn't accept any food, he just stayed there. Paz wasn't there, the children of the watch used to eat alone in the privacy of their bedrooms.

Din stared in every direction, searching. He found what he was looking for. The guard that looked like his Jedi. Miko was staring directly at his visor, with a grin on his face. Din avoided his gaze and moved his head to look at Koska who was sitting beside him.

He looked at his young guard every now and then, and every time the man was staring at him, always smiling, always warm and radiant and from that distance Din could fool himself, thinking that he was really staring at Luke.

Din returned to his room feeling pain, he was missing Luke every minute more and more and this Miko man appeared before his eyes like a ghost haunting him, the ghost of Luke, he thought. He sat in silence on his couch, wanting to be on Yavin IV holding Grogu and holding his little Jedi. "There's only one Luke." He said under his breath. He fell asleep curling up on the couch in full beskar.

~

Din spent the next week working with the council, relocating people and receiving updates from Shrune. It was curious but while he was on planet, protesters didn't show up and the streets were at peace. He was starting to think that it wasn't as serious as Paz made it look like. Maybe these people weren't a menace after all.

Some nights he kept exploring his body's sensations, trying to satisfy himself the way Luke satisfied him.

He was starting to feel more confident about his moves, his own touch. He managed to prolong his performance, he really wanted to give it all next time Luke and him were tangled in little Jedi's bed.

The Jedi was so sure of himself. Din on the other hand, had never been in a serious relationship, he was amused by the way he gave himself to Luke, more than once, especially since he could remove all the barriers between him and his lover, lying vulnerable and exposed next to Luke without the armour's protection. That protection was not only physical, but symbolic.

All of Din's sexual encounters had been one night stands. Except for his first girl, she was a foundling as well and kids were curious and restless back in the fighting corps.

She was eighteen, Din was seventeen, but he had been crushing on her since he was fourteen, they were seeing each other in secret, it lasted a couple of months till she favoured Paz over Din. The ambivalent relationship between Din and Paz began that day, still they were brothers, no matter what.

Din shut himself down until his twenties, things had gone downhill when he started hanging around with the wrong people.

Every time he hooked up with someone he found really attractive, men preferably, he felt miserable afterwards.

He used to handcuffed them, because he didn't trust them at all, even when they were naked and hard against him. He was always dressed, pants around his thighs plates and he only lifted his helmet just enough to expose his mouth in order to went down on someone.

Sex was rough and fast, without kissing, without cuddling and without deep connection. To Din it was just a way to relieve himself.

He became a lone wolf by the time he was in his early thirties, even when people were still hitting on him all the time, he didn't care at all, he wasn't interested in those fast encounters anymore. He was tired and embracing the fact that he would never feel love for someone, let alone being loved back by said person.

That lonely life changed when Din and Grogu became clan, as father and son. Little did he know his ad'ika would lead him into Luke's arms, and he was halfway now, knowing that he finally fell in love with someone and hoping that Luke eventually, someday, would love him back.

He woke up to the holocomm's flickering light, a message from chancellor Shrune:

"Greetings, Your Highness. As you already know, I'm still on Coruscant, negotiations are going well. Still, The Senate requires your presence, please, come as soon as you get this message. We'll be waiting for you."

~

Bo-Katan and Paz were pushing him into being scorted by his royal guard, Din argued with them, he wouldn't take any person with him, he had plans. "I'm The Mand'alor, do as I say. I'm going off planet alone, and that's final." He deadpanned.

Bo-Katan sighed staring at Paz and walked away. "Fine, Mand'alor, I hope you won't end up dead."

Din didn't hesitate, by breakfast time he was on The Mudhorn, alone, leaving Mandalore behind, knowing that he wasn't coming back any time soon.
