#baby mando maul

[interdimensionalhellscapeportal]

i haven't actually linked my ongoing star wars ao3 fics to my star wars tumblr or vice versa before now, but y'know what, i like the weird niche au maul content i'm producing and i think some of y'all might enjoy it too.

write the fics you wanna read, right? i starting writing both of these alternate universes cos thus far, i have not stumbled on these concepts in my ao3 trawling. i really enjoy hearing from the handful of people that also like these extremely particular little worlds of mine, and i hope i find more of you to share them with crossposting here :)

THE FICS:

***Ka'ra Touched is a Smaul fic and currently in production hell, but has not been abandoned!***

Arla Fett is in the middle of her galaxy-spanning vengeance bloodbath, murdering all the Kyr'stad chakaare who ever abused her and living her best life after the Jai'galaare, a Mandalorian company of femme, queer, trans, nb & buir warriors, freed her from Tor Vizsla's abusive grasp and invited her to join their ranks.

When she finally goes after Meltch-karking-Krakko, the womp rat himself, she anticipates complications; he was, after all, the most sadistic of Vizsla's trainers. Killing Krakko is easier than she expects- but figuring out what to do with the tiny murder kitten of a zabrak she may have accidentally, impulsively, sort-of-maybe-just-a-little-bit kidnapped on her way out of Orsis Academy is much, much more difficult.

***Cleave (verb): to split or sever, to make a way through something forcefully; alternatively: to adhere strongly to (as in belief or pursuit), to become very strongly emotionally attached &/or involved with someone. Best described as 'porn with (too much) plot', this is the story of a writer constructing a series of increasingly outlandish scenarios intended to make pre-PTM Maul engaging in a tragic romance with a Jedi believable.***

Upon finishing his nearly disastrous mission to Cog Hive Seven, Darth Maul returns to his Master expecting criticism at the very least, punishment at worst. He does not expect to be told that his entire life has been a lie, that his Master is still a Sith Apprentice, and that he has been summoned to serve at the whim of the true Sith Master, Darth Plagueis.

Lord Plagueis, a monstrously powerful sadistic scientist, presents Maul with a test, and an ultimatum: prove himself worthy of the destiny that has been snatched from his grasp, a successor- perhaps even a replacement- for his Master, Lord Sidious... or be consigned to the bowels of the Sith laboratories at Aborah as an experimental subject. Maul has only one resource to aid him as he attempts to learn espionage, diplomacy, Sith alchemy and galactic etiquette in record time- Plagueis's captive Jedi Knight, experimental subject 1138, otherwise known as the infuriating togruta female Chaitali Zugasti.

He is not allowed to kill her. She wants nothing more than to die and stay dead, to be freed at last from Plagueis's nightmarish experiments, but if she is to die, she will die a true Jedi- attempting to save the boy raised in darkness that is enslaved alongside her and cannot see his chains.

UPDATE: The Middle (10/19)

Pairings: Din Djarin/Luke Skywalker Ratings: T Categories: Action/Adventure, Drama, Hurt/Comfort Warnings: Blood & Injury, Dismemberment, Violence The Jedi Order, alongside the Galactic Republic in which they accompany, have been entangled in the Clone Wars and Mandalorian-Jedi War simultaneously. But that is potentially set to change. Mand'alor Din Djarin has agreed to meet with representatives for the first time in history. Recently appointed Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker, his Padawan learner Grogu, and Master Obi-Wan Kenobi must embark to Mandalore and attend the delegations, with the hopes of reaching a compromise.

As promised, here is my direct sequel to The Beginning, a continuation of the events in that story! At last we can follow Luke, and in turn Grogu and Din, as they work to bring understanding between their people.

Somewhat like before, chapters will be posted every Friday, until reaching chapter…14! Yes, for those following along, I’ve managed to scrape together another 5 chapters. I originally wanted to stop prior to chapter 10 because it would have left the story on a major cliffhanger, which I thought was rather cruel. But since I’m past that, I will be continuing until I reach the latest completed chapter and go on a temporary hiatus to finish the rest, or until the story is completed if I manage to get that far during these upcoming weeks.

Please be advised: this is the chapter where the amputation/dismemberment tag will be coming into play.

In this tenth chapter, Luke's and Grogu's continued investigation goes awry.

[AO3: Part 10]

[phoenixyfriend]

Hi have a concept I cannot write myself because I don't know FJO outside of fanfic.

Two things happen:

Ventress survives past the end of the war, and is known to be alive and keeping away from the Empire.

A very Traditionalist Mandalorian visits Dathomir in the two or three years post-RotS (ship damage or something,) and finds tween Merrin.

Cue a quest to find The Known Surviving Dathomiri Zabrak Nightsister, so as to follow the "child must be returned to their people, or at least we do our best to make it happen" aspect of the foundling process.

(Technically, Maul is an option, but bb!Merrin refuses That option, because Maul, and Elsbeth is not known to Merrin or the Mando.)

Mando with a necromancy teenybopper trying to hunt out this magnificently slippery former Sith Acolyte who thinks she's being hunted for a bounty and definitely keeps hooking up with Quinlan.

Quinlan is how they finally make contact, though. He slips past to get an idea of why this person is trying to find Ventress, and has a Revelation that he needs to call his girlfriend about a New Baby Sister for her.

For fun, the Mandalorian on this quest could be a younger Armorer.

“But would you like to be?” 

His words echoed inside my head as I tried to decipher what he meant. Was he asking me to marry him? I didn’t want to jump to conclusions and get my hopes up. We still hadn’t actually defined what we were to one another. So, in my eyes, going from ‘no real label but basically in a relationship that no one actually knows the true nature of’ to engaged just didn’t seem possible. Right? 

I convinced myself it was crazy for that to be what he really meant. I mean sure we were practically together but Maul had never explicitly said we were, so we weren’t. Right? That is how this is supposed to work. 

I was working myself up. Maul’s voice is what finally snapped me out of my downward spiral. 

“Yn, can you hear me? Are you alright?” He asked, hand resting on my shoulder as he hunched over slightly to look me in the eyes. 

I stared at him blankly, trying to get my thoughts to quiet down. 

“My love you are worrying me. Can you just nod so I know you’re hearing me?” He asked gently. 

I nodded. 

“Good. I was saying that I know it’s sudden. I know we haven't officially been in a public relationship, but there is something between us that’s clearly much more than close friends, having and raising a child together. I love you, Yn. I know I am not the best at expressing the way I feel at times, but I need you to know that there should never be a doubt that I love you because I do, I have and I always will. I want to make you mine. If you’ll let me…. I don't need an answer now. You can take some time to think it over.” 

The last time he had said those two sentences to me was back when he first asked me to carry his heir for him. And just like when he said them then, I knew I didn’t need time to think anything over. I loved him. 

I began to shake my head, tears welling up in my eyes. 

“I don’t need to think anything over.” I stopped shaking my head and began nodding, “I love you too, Maul. Always have, always will.” I repeated his words, “Plus I think Yn Opress has a pretty nice ring to it, don’t you think?” I joked. 

He nodded, “I think does, definitely more so than Kryze.” He said, making me smile. 

A weight that I didn’t even know was sitting on my chest was lifted off of it. I was finally getting rid of the thing that tied me to them. I felt like I was finally freed from them. 

Maul grabbed my hand and gave it a quick squeeze before bringing it up to his lips and pressing a kiss to my knuckles. Then he stood up. 

“I’ll be right back, my love.” He said gently. 

I watched as he walked into the bedroom as I leaned back into the couch, slouching a bit and letting my belly stick out more than it already does. I put my hands on the sides of it so I could feel him move as I spoke to him. 

“Did you hear that, big guy? We’re getting married.” I said. 

I felt him kick and smiled, “I know, it’s exciting, isn’t it?” 

“Who are you talking to?” Maul’s voice made me jump, I hadn’t expected him to be that quick. 

“I was talking to our son.” I said, pushing myself to sit back up. 

“Well I would hate to interrupt but I have something for you.”  He said with a smirk. 

“We’ll talk later, ik'aad (baby).” I said. 

I didn’t speak in Mando’s often, but lately, I have taken to the nickname for the baby. I pushed myself to sit up as Maul walked over. He had his hands collapsed behind his back clearly hiding whatever it was that he had for me. 

“Close your eyes and hold out your hand.” He instructed. 

I did as he asked and waited. He placed a small object in my hand. I could tell it was a piece of jewelry, the metal cool against my skin. I would have assumed it was a ring given the current circumstances, but it felt like there was a chain attached to it. 

“Okay, open.” 

I did and saw the most beautiful ring attached to a silver chain in the palm of my hand. Upon seeing the clear gem with the blank bands throughout it I had a hunch as to what it was. I was pretty sure it was Haxonzite, a crystal native to only the planet Dathomir. 

“Maul… it’s stunning. The stone is, Haxonzite, correct?” I asked, admiring the ring. 

“It is… and it’s not actually silver. It’s beskar. I wanted it to have a bit of both of our homeworlds in it.” 

I felt the tears prick at my eyes, “It’s perfect. I love it so much.” 

“I am glad you like it. I went ahead and put it on a chain so we could wait until after he is born to get it sized correctly. I remembered you saying some of your rings haven’t fit lately.” 

He was right, I had some swelling in my hands recently, but when I brought up my concerns to the medic droid but was assured that it wasn’t anything to worry about but to keep an eye on it. 

“Thank you. Will you help me put it on?” I said holding it back out for him to take. 

“Of course.” He took it from me and unclasped it. 

Then he carefully reached around me and then brought the chain up and around my neck before clasping it. It hung just above my beast, which meant I could wear it with most of my dresses and blouses to work and tuck it in so no one would see it. 

I reached up and picked it up, tilting my head down to admire it one last time. It didn’t feel real. Truly, it was unimaginable to me that not only was I having a baby with the man I loved, but we were now engaged. I turned around to face him and immediately leaned over to kiss him. He immediately responded, kissing me back and bringing his hand up to cup my cheek. I shuffled a bit in my seat trying to turn to face him better. The task was easier said than done, I managed though all without breaking the kiss. Once I was facing him more, I brought my hands up to grab the hems of his open tunic and pulled him closer. 

I could tell he got the hint that this wasn’t a single kiss to say “thank you, I love you” it was more of a segway into a whole experience that says “thank you, I love you, let me show you.’ His tongue grazed my bottom lip and before it even reached halfway across it, I was already parting my lips to let him in. 

It’s like he was surrounding me in every way possible. I could taste him as his tongue explored my mouth like he hasn’t done so a hundred times before. I could smell the cologne he put on this morning. That mixing with the subtle, burnt, and smokey smell that always seemed to linger on him was absolutely intoxicating. The sound of his small grunts and groans were spurring me on, knowing that if this went further I would get the chance to hear even more from him. By now, My hands let go of the edges of his tunic in favor of pressing my hands against his broad, tattooed chest. I swear he had to of been sculpted by the Maker himself, he was so perfect. Although my eyes were closed, I could see him in all his perfection as well. But I wasn’t seeing him in this moment, kissing me. I saw him in the future, doing all things I wished we were already doing now. My brain felt fuzzy. 

Maul pulling away is what ultimately made my eyes open. I was met with the sight of him smirking at me. I knew what that smirk meant and it was exciting. 

“So that’s what you want me to do to you, hm?” He asked his voice low. 

“Fuck me.” 

“You’re getting straight to the point aren’t you, darling?” He teased. 

“What can I say? I know what I want.” 

He huffed, amused at my statement before bringing one hand to cup my cheek and the other to rest on my side, “How are your hips feeling today? They hurt at all?” 

I was slightly confused but nonetheless, I answered his question, “No, they’ve actually felt fine.” 

He nodded, clearly pleased by my answer, “Good, because I want to see you…” he paused as his hands moved from my face and side to my bump, “all of you.” 

I gave him a look that read, “Seriously?” 

“Don’t worry, dear, I’ll help you.” He said, dropping his hands and clasping them behind his back before he turned around and began to walk off to the bedroom. 

I watched him walk away and just as he was crossing the threshold to the room, he paused. “My love, I cannot fuck you if you’re all the way over there.” 

That got my feet moving. I walked into the room and glanced around to find him over by the refresher door, by the large mirror, already removing his tunic. 

I leaned on the frame of the doorway and watched as he undressed. The way the muscles in his back flecked under black ink that adorned his skin had me subconsciously biting my lip as I stared. 

“And you said I was straight to the point.” I teased, before pushing off the doorframe and walking over. 

“Always with the attitude.” He teased me right back as he turned around and stepped forward to meet me. He leaned down to bring his lips to mine and gave me a long, slow kiss. 

Quickly, our clothes were removed, and all the while kisses were being shared. Once we were both completely nude, Maul stopped and stepped behind me, giving me an unobstructed view of myself, wearing nothing but the thin chain holding the ring around my neck, in the mirror. His body was pressed right up against mine and I could feel his hard cock pressing against me. 

“You feel that?” He pressed his hips forward slightly to ensure I knew exactly what he was talking about even though I didn’t need any clarification on it. 

“You do this to me, darling. Every time I see you like this, it’s the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. You carry my son so well. Truly stunning.” He said between kissing my neck as his hands came around to rest on my bump. 

I blushed at his words. It has been hard at times to look at myself and still feel beautiful with the changes that my body was going through, but Maul was there to constantly remind me how beautiful I was as I grew and carried our son. I turned around in his hold and kissed him. He gently pulled me a little closer, mindful not to squish the bump. Just like before he quickly took control of the kiss before he began to slowly walk backward, using his hands on my lower back to guide me along with him. 

Once we got to the bed he broke the kiss to sit down a position himself on the bed. Once he was good, he reached out his hand to me. 

“Come here, my love.” 

I took it and allowed him to help me climb over him so my knees rested on either side of his thighs. 

“Does that feel okay?” He asked, leaning forward to give me a quick kiss. 

I nodded, “Yeah. I’m okay.” 

“You tell me if anything begins to feel uncomfortable or if your hips or thighs begin to hurt. Okay?” 

“I will.” I promised, punctuating it with a kiss. 

“Good girl.” He mumbled against my lips as he pulled away just enough to mutter the words before he was kissing me again. 

I felt something beginning to just barely trace light circles over my clit. It caused me to jump slightly as I wasn’t expecting it seeing as my hands were still on Maul’s shoulders and his were on my lower back. I knew he was using the force to do it. He laughed lightly against my lips at my reaction.

“Not fair.” I muttered back. 

“I could stop.” he said, pulling away from my lips to move on to making a mark on my neck. 

The sensation was gone and it almost had me whining from the loss of contact. “Don’t stop, please. Do it again. More please.” I begged. 

The feeling returned this time with more pressure than before. I began to grind down slightly on his thighs. I desperately wanted his cock inside of me. 

“So impatient.” Maul teased, pulling away entirely. “But, your wish is my command, though.” He gave me one last quick kiss before he laid back flat against the mattress. 

I leaned forward slightly and put my hands on his chest to help lift myself up. Once he was lined up, I slowly began to ease myself down. I had to take it slow. The stretch felt different than when I’ve been laying down when we have sex. Now, I was working with gravity. It was trying to pull me down which made the stretch feel much bigger than it did before, not that I was complaining. I closed my eyes and let out a shaky breath, it always took me a minute or two to take him on the first try. 

“Fuck.” I sighed sinking lower. 

“You’re doing so good, love.” Maul praised me, causing my walls to clench slightly, earning a small groan from him. 

Once I had sunk all the way down, taking him completely I stayed there for a moment. 

“Are you okay?” Maul asked gently. 

I nodded, “Huge.” I sighed, already high off of the feeling, brain foggy. 

“But you take me so well.” He said, running his hands up and down my thighs. 

The praise is what spurred me to start moving. I lifted myself up and then sunk back down, Maul met me on the way back down, thrusting his hips ups, pulling a moan of his name from my lips. I felt the pressure on clit return which sent my mind into complete overdrive. I was in absolute heaven. It felt amazing. I then realized, my legs weren’t getting even the slightest bit sore, it hit me, Maul wasn’t just using the force on my clit he was also using it to help ease the strain on my quads. 

I sped up my pace and was reduced to an absolute mess of moans. Maul’s name left my lips in a repeated chant. 

Maul’s PoV

The sight before me was on I wanted to commit to memory. Yn, my fiance, bouncing up and down on my cock, looking stunning. She was absolutely perfect in every way. Seeing her belly grow, knowing it was our son she was carrying, that it was I who had put that baby there struck a nerve deep within me. It ignited the primal, breeding nature inside of me. 

Seeing her like this, knowing she was mine with that ring bouncing up and down on the chain in time with her riding my cock, was a sight I would never tire of. My hands gripped her thighs, surly the force of my fingertips would leave a few marks. Hearing her moan my name was about to send me over the edge. I felt her squeeze my cock and that was what did me in. 

Reader’s PoV

Maul grabbed my hips and pulled me down hard onto him as he came deep inside me. The feeling of his warm cum painting my walls sent me into my own climax. I hunched over slightly as my walls clamped down on him and I came hard. Maul’s hand moved from my hips to my shoulders to help support me as my body went numb in ecstasy. My hands were gripping his shoulders, nails digging into his back. 

Once we had both recovered enough, he carefully was helping off of him. I laid down beside him, on my side facing him. He turned to look at me and smiled. 

“What?” I asked quietly. A hush had fallen over the room. It was a stark contrast to the sound of our moans and skin against skin that had filled the room and echoed off the walls just minutes ago. I didn’t want to disturb the quiet. 

“You’re just so perfect, Yn. I can scarcely remember my life before you. I think my mind has forced out all that it could after you came along. You’ve always been nothing shy of perfect to me. I am overwhelmed at the idea that I will soon beagle to call you my wife, my queen.”

Me watching the Luke cameo in Mando season 2: No offense but that could’ve been literally anyone else

it legiterally does not make any sense for din to hand over his baby to this random guy who just destroyed a bunch of robots with a laser sword. din does not know who luke is and has no reason to trust him, especially after seeing how powerful he is. ALSO the show deliberately parallels luke destroying those droids with vader’s hallway scene in rogue one, which is supposed to be cutesy nostalgia but it cinematically positions him as a sith in the narrative - an overwhelming force of power that destroys everything in its path. if maul had shown up and kidnapped the baby very little would have changed. the entire justification behind din giving grogu over is based on the audience (BUT NOT THE CHARACTERS) knowing who luke is and trusting him because he’s a good guy. and then r2d2 shows up. star wars is a parody of itself

Hola Ailo!!!! The recap that you did ask for is here(a little bit late sorry but still counts), Louis show at the Victorious Festival:

Festival poster.

As you saw but still will link some pics because he look gorgeous, Louis wore full black with a cap 🫠 and the barricade photo I show you that deserves to be link again haha.

🚨Highlight of the recap shirtless Steve is back!!! Thank you Steve 🚨 (no idea if that is a highlight for you but it wouldn't be a recap of me without that important info).

His family was there, here is a cute video of Lottie, other with Olive and other with Lucky.

Seems like the weather was cold, because Mr. Weather Man comment about it and also was doing some arms and hands gestures a few times to said that he was cold, poor Louis, but hey we thank him for showing a tank top.

He said this sweet quote and mention that it was his first festival in the UK.

Here he was interacting with a fan but I wonder what the sign said.

Louis instagram story.

Some observations about the live:-Hands up and down during kill my mind instead of kmm lights (like this other time that they did it in other festival), seems like is a tradition now and I love it.

-You can see his family on the side of the stage moving to the rhythm.

-Fans were yelling I love you Louis and he was smiling.

-He was interacting with a lot of fans, was very smiley and so confident. It was lovely seeing him like this.

He also sign a doncaster bear of a fan I guess maybe after the show I don't know.

For your Nouis' heart, Louis give a like to a video of Niall and Ed Sheeran singing Little Things (here is the full video) on today's show of Niall, they also sing Lego House (there was no live 😑, we just have to listen after it was sad but still beautiful).

Louis took a shot backstage with Phoebe and Daisy.

I already share it but still, the short setlist 11 songs rip 7 😭.

The crowd look huge, I'm so proud of him.

Here is the live in case you want to watch it.

And that is it for the baby recap. I'm probably missing some things but is what I could do, I was very busy with Niall's updates so I didn't pay much attention to everything that was shared yet.

Let me know what you think, I love reading reactions of the recaps :)

I hope you have a lovely day. Here is a spanish phrase for you: Te mando un abrazo.

Oh wow CC 🤩🤩🤩 this is amazing!! Thank you so much!! 😘 Even though I did request it (as I’m in the alps, no wifi, and quite some fandom fomo), the feeling of getting a recap is… so unexpectedly heartwarming! 🥰 It made me sing We Made It “sayin’ goodbye, wavin’ to the hard times” to the mountains this morning, as you really make me feel so included!!

I love the outfit as a whole: it works!! I’m glad you sent a photo of the cap, I would’ve missed the “mauled by a dragon” aspect of it otherwise. 🤪

Weatherman Louis 🥶 lives in an entirely different climate than Steve 🥵! And the shivering pic… is gonna be a favourite of mine!! It’s convincing me that it must’ve been freezing 😎

Aww… the mini Tomlinsons!! 🥹 They do bring a cuteness factor that we don’t often see. And I can’t believe how big Olive is! Can that really be?!?🤔🤔

I love that the kmm hands are back: you know the Louies are in the crowd when…!!

I’m guessing the sign was one of those “please write me a tattoo” or something requests… and Louis didn’t wanna explain that he’s working, day job etc again… so he just says “how?” in THAT voice… wow! 🫠 Good of you to include that!! 🤭

Mini but fun setlist! Face the Music surviving every cut is a surprise to me, but hey… not my day job 🫢

And thanks for the bigger picture: Niall singing Little Things with Ed! Yeah! And Louis liking it!! Now c’mon boys…!! Just a little click, babe!

So much more to say but the kids & mountains are calling. Schöne Grüße aus den Bergen!

Und herzlichen Dank für die tolle Zusammenfassung!! 🫶🫶🫶

For the star wars fave/least fave thing!

1, 3, 8, and 19?

Ohhhhh, so many questions. I’m excited to get my teef into these!

Favourite/Least Favourite Movie

Someone else beat you to this punch, so just the short answers.

Favourite: Rogue One

Least Favourite: Solo

3. Favourite/Least Favourite TV show episodes.

Omg, I’m not sticking to just one!! I kinda need to break this all down to the different series. Sorry Andor, you get enough love from everyone else that I'm gonna skip over you. And sorry Book of Boba Fett, I haven't invested enough energy to know you better yet to have strong opinions.

The Mandalorian.

Favourites: Yes I’m giving myself two answers here. Firstly, the Foundling. I love seeing how Bo-Katan goes about fitting in with the Children of the Watch, working out how to live their lifestyle, but then also still showing off her natural leadership qualities and her tenacity. Also, we get the shoulder touch. So fucking gay. Inject that straight (queerly) into my veins.

The second fave is The Jedi. I hadn’t watched any of the animation series before Mando S2, and when she came onto my screen, I sat up and paid attention. Ahsoka Tano, my blorbo beloved. I needed to know everything about her after watching that episode. Cue brainrot.

Least Favourite: Probably the Passenger. Felt like another filler episode. The typical “you only get to progress in the storyline if you fulfil this side quest” was growing old on me by this stage. Plus, giant spiders on an ice planet. Ick. No thanks. And Grogu eating the Frog Lady’s babies, UUUGGGGHHHH!!!!!

Ahsoka series.

Favourite: Time to Fly. It gave me tension-filled Sokabine. It gave me Jacen Syndulla. It gave me Ahsoka doing unhinged stuff like going outside her ship in space to fight off attackers. It gave me Sabine’s gay-panic face. It gave me purrgil. It gave me Huyang being an honest arsehole. It gave me Sabine losing a fight to a cup. I’m more than willing to overlook the completely stupid storyline writing for Hera’s subplot for everything else that episode did give me.

Least favourite: Far, Far Away. Not enough Ahsoka in this episode. And no Hera. So that instantly makes me sad. Also Sabine is written so poorly in this (no shade at Natasha for it, she did well for the poor hand she was dealt). Sabine’s smart, and yet all episode she’s just being all “where’s Ezra?” Smart Sabine wouldn't be standing at her prison door, banging on it and yelling about some deal that can't be fulfilled yet anyway because they aren't even on the fkn planet yet. Smart Sabine would be taking in her situation so much better. She'd be finding air vents to sneak into, so that even if she couldn't escape through them, she'd know the layout of the ship for whenever the New Republic might come up to fight against it. She’s be coming up with a plan to get Ezra and herself back home again once she’s let loose or makes a gaol break. She’d be stealing another TIE fighter with decent scanner equipment and faster travel, not being given a cowardly howler to search an entire planet that Ezra’s been hiding on for ten years on foot. They did her intelligence a massive disservice this episode. Also wasn’t a fan with how contemptuous they made Thrawn of Baylan and the Jedi in general. Chiss culture has a certain reverence for Force-wielders, and even though Kanan and Ezra were the enemies of Thrawn throughout Rebels, he always showed a level of respect towards them. Actually, Thrawn was pretty poorly written for the whole damn show. Bring Tim Zahn to the table to write the character properly, I beg you.

The Clone Wars

Favourite: The Phantom Apprentice. NGL, the last half of season seven of The Clone Wars was peak Star Wars. Fight me. But with this episode in particular, that fight sequence between Ahsoka and Maul, the dialogue leading up to it, the tension and shadow hanging over the entire episode? Perfection. It makes me believe Anakin’s fall so much more, in that Ahsoka’s absence from the events of The Revenge of the Sith speaks more to Anakin’s emotional isolation and manipulation to turn on the Jedi.

Least favourite: Can’t really say a particular episode. There were a number of filler ones that I just yawned through. There was one that focused on Anakin and Padme’s relationship, that was probably my least enjoyable. I get that their relationship was toxic/fucked up/doomed to fail, I don’t want to see more of it. Gives me the ick.

Rebels

Favourite: Twilight of the Apprentice. I get Maul back. Ahsoka is a badass. Kanan is a legend. I cry like a bitch at the end of it. But Ahsoka’s not actually dead either. Wins all round for me.

Also, Hera’s Heroes. Where we get a real introduction to Thrawn. I love his assessment of her. The respect, the admiration, that he has for his enemy. How he sees her as a worthy opponent.

“War, it's all you've ever know, isn't it? You were so young when you survived the Clone Wars, no wonder you're as equipped in spirit to fight as well as you do. War is in your blood. I studied the art of war, worked to perfect it, but you? You were forged by it.”

Gives me shivers. I really hope they do future Thrawn vs Hera justice in upcoming movies/shows, but I know I shouldn’t hold my breath…

Least favourite: Jedi Knight. It was an amazing episode. I don’t think I’ve watched any Star Wars (with perhaps the exception of Rogue One) that’s managed to pull such unexpected emotion out of me. And for that reason, I cannot bring myself to watch it again. I dunno. Maybe one day when I’m feeling emotionally robust. RIP Kanan. You deserved such a heroic death, but you also deserved to live. Fuck you, Governor Pryce.

8. Favourite/Least Favourite Concept

Favourite: That the Force is in everyone. (Yes, even you!) It frustrates me that fandom miss the point of there being a difference between Force-wielding and Force-sensitivity. Anyone can use the Force, but those who are selected to train as Jedi from a young age have a natural ability to wield it, because if you don’t have that natural ability, tapping into it and wielding it is hard. Even those with natural aptitude for the Force find it hard! Ezra Bridger? Force sensitive. Had the abilities from a young age, and just required mentorship/guidance on how to best connect with and use them. Sabine Wren? She has the Force sensitivity of a sandwich. She is not Force-sensitive. Which is why Kanan didn’t ‘pick up on Sabine’s Force sensitivity’, because she didn’t have any! She was just a stubborn woman who decided she wanted to try the seemingly impossible and found a master who was unhinged enough as her to try it too. I think a lot more people could use the lesson from her story, about persistence, patience and hard work paying off. Anywho, end rant there.

Least favourite. That ‘falling to the dark side’ is somehow freeing/a good thing/something to strive for. I hate how they made Osha Aniseya seem like she’d achieved some kind of ‘enlightenment’ from having just killed her father figure, abandoning her sister to have her memory wiped, and teaming up with some attractive stranger who had just murdered a bunch of her friends. It wasn’t enlightenment. It was manipulation. STFU.

19. Favourite/Least Favourite Outfit

Favourite: Live-action Ahsoka’s outfits. Yes, even that poncho that hides her gorgeous deltoids from view. It looks so damn cosy. I love that those outfits give those tiny, tantalising hints of skin whilst still being modest and practical. They’re minimalistic in a way a Fulcrum operative would be, but with some random personal touches that we don’t fully understand yet (Like those beads at her belt. Are they meant to be her old padawan braid? Or Sabine’s padawan braid? Are they just rhythm beads? It’s anyone’s guess at this stage!) But mostly, she just looks comfortable. And since owning both the Adidas wrestling shoes from her white outfit and the Tabi shoes from her dark one, I can attest that they are so damn comfortable whilst also feeling like I could run over any terrain or kick some bad guys’ butts. I’m totally here for it.

Also, Mother Aniseya’s outfit. There’s just so much damn detail to that garb. The fabric. The layers. I love it. Also looks like it would be a cosplayer’s nightmare.

Least favourite: This is probably going to get me cancelled, but I must speak my truth. Leia’s first outfit, the white robe. The "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi" one. It looks like a bedsheet. There. I said it. I don’t mind the whole idea of a plain white dress that covers her up, I just hate whatever fabric they used. How it hangs. Just screams worn-out bedsheet. And fuck trying to keep that thing clean.

Also, the padawan boob-tube. ‘Soka, babes. Just no. This isn’t Friday night discoteca. This is the military. Put your teenage midriff away and go find yourself something with pockets. You’ll need them.

Tagged by @dead-cowboy!

It's crazy just how many of these bastards I have published under my own names and yet wouldn't recommend someone read with a gun to my head lol. Also I went with six so I could include one from my SourFacedLemon account:

i. hold it in your mouth for a minute (real hunger has a real taste) (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Glitch/Savage Opress, Explicit)

From the inaugural year of Smut Wars, this actually holds up pretty decently. Takes place vaguely within the Season 5 Crime Lords arc because that must have taken months to accomplish and the visual of Savage and Maul desperately trying to get along with Death Watch for that long amuses me. Included some thoughts about Nightbrothers and clones that I don't usually get to explore since Maul isn't, you know, culturally a Nightbrother. Also I reject the cultural obsession with dick size, I hate it, Savage is the embodiment of "small, leave me alone" and I'll die on that hill. Also also, Glitch is here! He's sweet! He's Force-sensitive! The narrative is in love with him and wants him to live and thrive! It's me, I'm the narrative!

ii. self/less (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Maulsoka, Teen)

Older, and imperfect, but I had a good time with it. This fic has everything: the unhinged Maul-Ahsoka team-up that a Star Wars What If series should explore, Maul being traumatized and terrified and not hiding it well, genderfuckery, two forms of mind-control, the Son and the Daughter escaping Mortis because what do you mean they're just dead now??, Jesse surviving... Short and sweet and well beyond my writing skills to fully flesh out, but I genuinely think there's a decent premise buried in there.

iii. a beast within you (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Maulrex, Explicit)

Also notably imperfect, but another 2023 Smut Wars gift and I spent so much time trying to research octopi and tentacles without actually consuming any tentacle porn, and I want that effort acknowledged. It's a vague Percy Jackson fusion AU, if that's any more enticing. And if you get to the end there's links to some beautiful fucking fanart someone (@omaano) made of it!

iv. pretty (handy with that iron) (Jak and Daxter, Jak/Jinx, Teen)

Transmasculine!Jak who not only has terrible taste in men (Jinx) but also has a vaguely-emasculating-pet-names-induced gender crisis during the sewers escort mission and Daxter doesn't get to rest for a single second. Idk I was feeling silly with this one. It was fun to write and I actually don't regret it lol.

v. all restraint and poised bones (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Maulakin, Teen)

I just love a confused Maul POV in general and also an outsider POV on time travel. It's just so much fun for me personally. Also I know it's because that's the way the timeline shakes out but the fact that Anakin missed meeting Maul and all that that entails by like two hours is as ridiculous to me as the Grievous thing; their unhinged chaotic goblin energies would have bounced off each other and created a feedback loop that would give Sidious a heart attack, so I understand why it never happened. But still.

bonus vi (and vii and viii). The Expansion of Clan Mudhorn (The Mandalorian, Djarin/Leia/Boba, Teen)

I have written non-TCW, non-Maul related Star Wars fics, as difficult as it is to believe. These ones are also silly, and strangely fluffy compared to most of my other content, but it was 2021! Mando S2 had just ended, we had canonical Tem-as-Boba-Fett and were all so excited and optimistic, it was a different time! Honestly my only regret is that I haven't thought until just now to go back and edit them to fix Djarin's name. Everyone is surnaming this poor man who misses his baby so, so much, you guys, that's tragic lmao.

No pressure tagging @hawthornsword @hjbender @darthlivion @mandalorianbrainweasel @inqorporeal and anyone who sees this and wants to play!

Fandom whining about merchandising tool grogu getting forced into s3 plot of mando are so funny. it's what they deserve. they didn't want a narrative for din and yoda jr to develop individually as characters so they could actually earn that reunion scene. instead they threw a tantrum about Jedi being baby snatchers, claiming luke and din had to fight for baby rights (wtf is this logic) in the s2 finale, so this is what Disney and favreau tosses in their laps instead. enjoy!

honestly din taking over half of tbobf because of the fandom reaction to a survivor of order 66 choosing to continue the legacy of his own purposefully eradicated religious group left such a bad taste in my mouth that i might not even bother pirating season 3. they whined so much they got what they wanted, grogu as din's lapdog and a mascot to sell merch with rather than a character in his own right. now they have to fucking live with it! of course grogu has nothing to do, that was the natural end of his character functionality!! there's not much else they can fucking do with him when he's a nonverbal toddler, other than make him go even closer to the dark side and force choke more people. they're never gonna let him grow up. what can they do with him if he's not a jedi?? make him a tiny suit of armor and staple him to din's apron strings forevermore? have the first order keep kidnapping him like he's princess peach? fuck, maybe maul will get shoehorned in again and try to turn him like he did with ahsoka. i highly doubt grogu is ever going to be allowed to become his own character.

boba was robbed, luke was robbed, and grogu was robbed. the end of season 2 was a perfect resolution to the story and now disney is gonna ride the mandalorian into the ground like they did with the sequel trilogy.

anyway, i heard andor was good, maybe i'll finally start pirating that instead lmao

[justalittletomato]

Being part of the rebellion meant there was often items difficult to get ahold of. (Dad!Maul and tomato 🍅 baby drabble)

Almost immediately did Aster grimace at the thought of rations.

They kept on going, made sure your belly wasn’t empty but…

Her little sister Danica immediately chucked her portion away from her. The small girl demanded Nyduck, or shrimp or something else than that terrible thing.

Starlight tried their best to explain that was what they had now. They still had plenty of stock from the plentiful gardens from the Fortress.

But…

Danica and Aster were half Zabrak, carnivorous in nature, they needed some other protein.

Maul was somewhere else looking through the stores in hopes of some sort of preserved nyduck, maybe a bit of jerky? Something for his girls was they adjusted to this new life.

“But I want shrimp! Or Bantha!”

Chopper Base had little game for them to hunt.

Aster stayed quiet and tried to stomach the ration bar.

How had Maul adjusted himself to such foods? When he was fully Zabrak?

Aster knows her father did not adjust himself to such things. He survived. He just did. It made her head hurt to think of having to stomach such things for years…

—-

“Here my little darling.” Maul has scrounged up some jerky at the least. Danicas eyes widening and her little tongue licking her lips. 

“Maul,” Starlight sighed , exasperation in their voice. “You know we have to help them get accustomed to…”

It pained them every much as it did Maul, not being able to readily provide food to the girls.

“Not today. “ the crimson zabrak said. He handed a piece to Aster and then to Dani. The small girl immediately trying to eat it quickly only to be scolded.

“Dani that’s the only bit you’ll get!”

“Danica Oppress.”

“There’s no more.”

It seemed to wash over her at the moment the reality. The lives they once knew were altered.

Danica munched slowly on her jerky, hot tears spilling over her rounded cheeks.

Her tummy growled. She whimpered and Maul hugged her close. Promises of more whispered.

Aster got up and left. Starlight and Maul calling after her…

——

The delicate balance of her home was resurfacing. It wouldn’t be long before Maul went off somewhere in hopes to ensure better for the family…or convince himself of an old enemy he could pin this on.

Her buir would try and remain strong. Ignoring themselves to keep Danica content and Aster from trying to delve too deep into their sorrow.

Aster would….

“Hey…”

It was Ezra. The familar blue hair would never be lost in the crowd.

Her hearts beat a bit faster, “ You’re worried.”

She at times she joyed and greatly disliked their bond. “ Danica’s hungry.” Aster muttered.

The young Jedi quickly looked about, “ I can definitely get you all some more ration bars! It be no trouble.”

The girl shook her head, “ We have plenty. It’s different for us. We need more protein and the packs don’t have what is needed.”

Ezra frowned, “ Will she be okay?”

Aster shrugged, “ Given how my family is my father will scour all the base for more. Stars knows he’d do anything for her.”

“For you both.” Ezra reminds her, “ You know he may be the bane of my existence but he’d do anything for you and Dani and your Buir….the Mandos! Oh have you checked with Rau? I bet he’s got to have something!”

Aster once more felt her hearts race, “ The man loathes me.”

Ezra shrugged, “ I think he feels like that for everyone, but you know he’s got a soft spot for lil Dani! “

The other day the youngest Oppress was following about the leader of the Protectors with her pet massiffs at her sides and millions of questions.

Fenn Rau made the mistake of indulging her questions. A whole day used to answer questions! But….Ezra was right. Danica had that gift, many of those at the base had a fondness for the child.

“She’s what they are fighting for when think about it. So she doesn’t grow up like us.”

Hiding. On the run. Keeping away from suspicion.

Aster sighed, “ Thank you,” a smile on her lips. “ You are quite wise Ezra.”

“Please tell that to Kanan,”

—-

“Miss Oppress you know quite well I have barred you from.” The older Mandalorian warned as Aster and Ezra approached the Protectors area of the base.

“Do you have any preserved meats or any similar proteins?” Aster immediately asked.

“First you barge in for trainings, then challenge a head ranking officer and…”

“It’s for my little sister, we don’t have any and our kind require…”

“Oh no is something wrong with little Dani?” A helmeted protector overhears.

Aster gives a glance to Ezra who nods, remember she’s what they were fighting for.

“Even as half zabraks our diet requires more protein. Sadly we can’t acquire it with the rations supplied. There’s little to hunt.”

Rau contemplates the information. “Your father has gotten along fine with the rations…”

Aster knew Rau would delve into such a question, “ My father has a penchant for doing what it takes to survive, it has not been kind to him. Such a thing would likely be damaging to someone as young as Danica.”

Too small. Too little. She felt the gnaw of hunger in her own stomach.

Before she realized it there was tins and sealed packages in her arms.

Aster half listening half shocked at the amount as one protector was rattling off how to make it last longer, what recipes to try and something about a bone broth.

“Thank you.” Aster said softly. “Thank you really…”

Ezra helped her carry the items. They were just a few meters away when Rau caught up with them.

“Here,” he muttered. He placed a pack of tins atop the pile in Aster’s arms.

Her eyes widened. “Mackeral!!!” Her absolute favorite.

“Don’t mention it.” He warned.

Ezra laughed, “ Aw Rau we promise, can’t let everyone in on that you have a soft spot for Aster.”

The Mandalorian glared at the young Jedi before glancing back to Aster, “ Should you need more just let us know and keep us posted on how little Danica is doing.”

“I will.” She promised.

“You can come observe drills tomorrow.”

“I will be there.” She smiled, “ Thank you Fenn Rau.”

The Mandalorian waved them off.

—-

Danica went to sleep with her tummy full and asking for some more in the morning.

Starlight profusely thanked Ezra for his help while Aster and Maul spoke.

“I do not want to be indebted to them.” He growled

“You won’t be.” Aster argued. “They did it for Danica. It was for her.”

“You are showing them we are vulnerable.”

“I showed them that a child needed help.”

“What does that make me? That I can’t provide for my family?”

“No one is saying that, no one mentioned that. No one thinks you would stop. “ Starlight starts, taking their daughters side, “ they are like us, we want to be sure the little ones are alright. It’s why we are here.”

—-

Aster kept the mackeral tins hidden. Carefully opening one and bringing a bit to eat. A pleased sound from her lips.

It was different now. Things were different but somehow the same…

They would survive…for once not on their own.

[spextronaut]

My thoughts on this week’s episode of Mando:

I’m actually writing this bit right here 2 hours before the episode is even out bUT I had to share my idea of, with Din and Bo Katan not getting along very well currently, I would LOVE if they fought (maybe in this episode or the next one?) and Din ended up winning back the Darksaber??? And if it was in front of a bunch of other Mandos and they immediately accept him as Manda’lor unlike how they are with Bo Katan???? I’d scream I really hope that this is where the show is going and if it’s not y’all can bet your asses that I will write fix-it canon divergent fanfic for this concept

It’s episode time I am begging this episode to be good or have Din take off his helmet or Something worth my fucking time

Once again begging the show to do something interesting with the plot and have Din and Bo Katan fight or have Bo Katan lose the saber or Something just to make it fun

Oh god dammit are you seriously making me go back to episode 3 levels of shit?? I hated that plot I just want Din this is bullshit

Wowww it’s so shocking that she’s Imperial 🙄

<Din Djarin33

As someone who has never seen a piece of Star Wars media unconnected to Mando I have no fucking idea what’s happening rn

I want Darth Maul to be here purely because I like the look I have no clue if he’s alive or not

Y’all lost the civil war against the Republic for a reason,,,

The Shadow Council? Are you fucking serious??

Project Necromancer. Are you fucking serious

I’m under the belief, with no prior knowledge, that Anakin Skywalker was the only thing holding the Empire together smh

We aren’t gonna kill the Mandos thank you that’s illegal <3

Ngl I think the only reason Moff Gideon is really “worried” about the Mandos is because he wants a rematch against Din bc he’s pissy about losing the Darksaber last season

GROGU IS SITTING IN BO KATAN’S LAP!!! AUNT BO KATAN FR FR

IG-11????? WITH AN ANZELLAN???

Grogu sitting on the table I’m gonna start crying fuck

Bad baby is back!!

oh my fucking god he’s in the robot I’m gonna cry look at this motherfucker. he is so fucking <333

ASSISTED SPEECH TECH!!!! OMFG AUTISM GROGU REAL!!!! HE IS SO!!!!!

HES SO HAPPY IM GONNA CRY <333333

IM CRYING HE IS SO FUCKING <33333

Din is in his extra tired dad arc I fucking love it here

Of course Din and Grogu will volunteer and people will only follow! If Din and Grogu are there! Because DIN IS BETTER AT LEADING PEOPLE THAN BO KATAN AND I WILL FIGHT ALL YALL ON THIS

The Armorer is so fucking suspicious I won’t lie

I’m claiming Grogu as disabled bc like. Mobility device. Speech aid. I can’t be fought about this

Now what in the fuck is that thing

Bo Katan this is why you shouldn’t be any kind of leader you trust people way way way too easily

What in the fucking cult

This. Is why. We. Lie. Shut the FUCK up Bo Katan you’re fucking yourself over (and thus making Din look like a better leader but yk,,,)

“And then he betrayed me” BO KATAN. HE IS IMPERIAL. YOU CANT TRUST IMPERIALS YOU KNOW BETTER

once again I am saying Din is a better leader because HE beat Moff Gideon, Bo Katan didn’t and SHE DIDNT EVEN BEAT DIN TO GET THE SABER BACK HRHRHRGE

I’m begging this doesn’t turn to romance please god please do not do this I am begging I’m about to start crying do not. Don’t do this to me

DIN. DIN LEADER ARC. PLEASEEEE GOD I AM FUCKING BEGGINGGG

don’t do this. don’t do this im panicking Din shut the fuck UP I hate THIS FUCKING SHOW

I know Din is a follower not a leader but HE DESERVES A LEADER ARC PLEASEEEE WHY IS THIS SHOW LIKE THIS 😭😭

… space chess?

Oh Jesus Christ… Din? Din can you stop this? I want a leader arc god I’m BEGGING

“Can I step in?” BO KATAN STOP HOLDING HIM BACK FROM HIS LEADER ARC YOU BITCH

GROGU SLAY!!!!!! I love him so much omfg he <3333

stop. stop. shut the fuck up “he didn’t learn that from me” YES HE DID HOE STFU

no one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans smh

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THAT THING

IS THAT A FUCKING DRAGON????????? FUCK HEAH???? FUCK THE MANDALORIANS GIVE ME DRAGON

“You good?” IM SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP HE IS SUCH A FUCKING DAD

Oh Jesus Christ what is that

Imperial Mandos LIKE I FUCKIN SAID

begging this to be the reason that Din gets a leader arc or a helmet removal im fucking begging

Grogu I- 😭😭

OH HELL

Din is slaying he’s in there by himself but he is slaying SO FUCKING HARD I LOVE HIM

are you fucking serious he’s in a goddamn Mando suit

Din is in his bdsm arc did not expect that today

Fuck you Moff Gideon also Din doesn’t have the Darksaber so,,,, honestly thank god he gave it to Bo Katan like fuck yeah dude

RAHHH NOO DONT KILL THE MANDOS

helmetless din. I’m begging. please god give me something

If Paz dies I’m rioting smh

PAZ YOU BITCH HOW DARE YOU YOU HAVE A SON IM RIOTING IM DISOWNING THE SHOW FANFICTION HERE I FUCKING COME

WHAT IN FHE ACTUAL FUCKING FUCK IS THAT

FANFIC HERE I COME FUCK THIS SHOW FUCK IT SO MUCH

I hate that. Grogu was the best part I literally don’t remember anything better happening I’m so fucking disappointed

I’m thankful that they aren’t forcing a romance on us (so far) and it’s not Awful and I’m excited for the almost definitely whole episode helmetless babygirlified Din next week but Jesus Christ that was just. It was awful it was bad

I give it like a 5/10 because it was fine with some good scenes but just. It was bad. I fucking hate this episode and i can’t even explain why like I could previously it just,,, idk it’s bad I don’t like it

Y’all can expect me promoting some fanfiction sometime soon because I’m gonna start a fix-it rewrite starting from episode 6 of TBoBF and reshape the end of that and this season into what I genuinely think would be better

And if you love this season good for you, seriously! I wish I could, but with the foreshadowing from last season and especially the last 2-3 episodes? You can’t even compare them and season 2 was a step down from season 1 it’s just… it’s not comparable and I’m really upset about it

My point still stands about the whole “if the season finale doesn’t get better I won’t come back for season 4” btw I just can’t handle the disappointment over and over again. But if tumblr shows me some really good shit then I might come back for a couple episodes

Overall I’m just disappointed and I really wish that they had writers that genuinely care about the story they were setting up instead of caring about setting up spin offs and selling merchandise but what can I really expect from Disney?

Mando S3E1 thoughts...

- where did the armourer find all those others? and where exactly are they hanging out?

- we all thought this was a flashback at first, right?

- unnecessary pew pew fight with a lake monster was unnecessary.

- armourer repeating herself

- the baby. THE BABY. Every time Grogu coos I feel it in my ovaries.

- Din having his dad nap in hyperspace is so cute.

- PURRGILS PURRGILS PURRGILS

- oh no the baby got spooked he has to snuggle his dad.

- Nevarro is looking absolutely gorgeous, the plants really brighten it up. Reminds me a little of Theed tbh. 10/10 would hang out eating street food and listening to buskers.

- Karga is serving Calrissian and I am here for it.

- THE BABY USES THE FORCE TO MAKE THE SPINNY CHAIR GO SPINNY SPINNY.

- I couldn't care any less about the pirates if I tried. Amused that one is called Vane though.

- the New Republic really doesn't have a good rep with our Outer Rim friends and honestly who'd blame them?

- if they can resurrect just anybody now (Maul, Palpy, Cobb Vanth, Boba, IG-11) they can damn well resurrect my beloved. Make it happen DLF. 🦋🦋

- zombie IG-11 crawling murderously was pretty creepy

- baby gettin flung like a football is so cute

- I am agnostic on Babu Frick because I hate all the time wasting nonsense in TROS, but the Anzellans hanging out in their little mini shop like they're The Borrowers or brownies from Willow or the mice in Muppet Christmas Carol is preeeeeetty cute

- I have been won over by these funny little puppet dudes

- Greef translating too much was also very amusing

- NO SQUEEZIE NO SQUEEZE BAD BABY and the look of sheer affection on Grogu's face while he tries to cuddle the Anzellan is too precious and funny

- Din teaching Grogu about how to Mando is just. My heart. It melts.

- I reiterate that I do not care about the pirates or the pointless pew pew.

- Bo Katan on her sadness throne, draped over it in defeat. What an icon.

- she's awfully down on the Children of the Watch for a lady who was big into Death Watch back in the day. I love my hypocritical queen.

- ARE WE GOING TO SUNDARI?!

- This episode is so weirdly paced and a lot of it felt deeply redundant but there were amusing antics and the baby was precious so I'm not complaining yet.

Ok. I'm really bad at keeping up with my tumblr but for anyone interested, part 2 of my Mando baby Ahsoka series is now fully out on ao3 so here's a link to it ig.

Alright, because being salty is actually quite exhausting for me, time to take a break and talk about the things I liked in season 3:

Din raising Grogu as a Mandalorian

The refurbished Naboo Starfighter

The Anzellans and their tiny droidsmithing shop

“Bad baby!”

The fact that they never bother to explain what that creepy Mando-hunting bloodsucker thing in the Mines was, so I am free to believe that it was actually Darth Maul’s brain in a jar

Bo Katan getting a much-needed dose of humility and learning to respect Din’s covert and their adherence to The Way

The Mythosaur reveal

Din returning the favor and saving Paz’s son in a scene that parallels the end of Chapter 3: The Sin 

The Armorer babysitting Grogu and making him a new piece of armor

Din telling Grogu “I need you to be brave for me, okay?” before they face off against Moff Gideon

Din speedrunning to the final boss with no weapons or plan, just gearing up from any enemies he happens to run into on the way there

Moff Gideon’s grand master plan boiling down to just making a bunch of copies of himself--like, yeah, we already knew the man’s a huge narcissist so that checks out

The reveal that Din is actually Mando’s surname and we have all spent the last three-and-a-half years unknowingly referring to him in a very formal way (you may have noticed that I have no intention of stopping any time soon because 1. habit, and 2. I find it amusing)
