#dincobb headcanon

[womans-armor-workshop]

I honestly don't know if any of you love AUs as much as i do. I love to try favorite pairing in different situations and places. I have thousands of ideas.

Too bad I'm suck at writing. But I figured it was worth a shot to write thrm down anyway.

I keep thinking about DinCobb Equilibrium AU. World controlled by Empire ruled by mysterious Emperror and his right hand Vice-Counsel Moff Gideon. Art in all forms is outlaw, emotions are illegal and restricted with drag called Prosium. A psychoactive drug Prozium II should be self-administered by all citizens to prevent this cause of human violence and hatred against each other.

Naturally, alongside erasing anger, fear, and sadness, it wipes away happiness and compassion. People become incapable of love or friendship. The only aim of their lives is blind servitude to the state. By claiming to end wars, the regime declares war on its people and their human nature. People experienced emotions called Sense Offenders and deckared are outlaw.

Din is a highly trained Mandalorian - a member of the special division of clad head to toe in armor Grammaton Clerics and ruthless bounty hunters, who haunts Sense Offenders. One day, he gets an order to find and retrieve a particular target - little boy with big broun eyes and rare gift of empathy. Boy can wake feelings in others even through drag blockade. Din and kid experience deep emotional episodes.

Din found a boy, brought him to a research facility as ordered, and got rewarded. He gets back to his quarters and keep dreaming about his parents' death - they were Senes Offenders and lived in the Nether. Parents were killed by Clerics raid, Din was only a child, so he was taken and raised in a monastery as a warrior and later became a Mandalorian.

Din couldn’t get a hold of his feelings even taking Prosium as usual. Next day he enquiries about a child and finds about execution order. Procedure is assigned for midnight.

At dawn Din break in research facility where child is held. He disarms or kills guards and breaks free with an unconscious child. They escapes through a sity wall to the Nether. Knowing that the whole devision of Mandalorians and Clerics would haunt them, Din aims to deep desert despite lack of provision and Prosium.

Delirious from dehydration and suffering from drag withdrawal, Din stumbles and falls unconscious on the edge of a ruined town. There is where Cobb finds him. Cobb is a self-appointed Marshall of hidden on ruins little town populated with escaped Sense Offenders and theirs free-born kids. Cobb nurses Din through Prosium without, takes care of kid and slowly falls in love with Din. Din is inexperienced with any emotions, with Marshall's help discovered whole new world. At some point, Din loses his armor..

But eventually, Mandalorians tracks down Din and a kid and discovers Freetown..

[screamingendlesslyintospace]

Thinking about how as Din ages he would start to notice some physical limitations. Maybe he’d ache for longer after fights; an injured shoulder taking a few extra days to feel normal again, a bruised collarbone healing slower than it used to.

When he looks at his reflection he notices new lines around his eyes, more grey in his beard. Aging never particularly bothered him, it was just part of life’s natural cycle. Still, he would be lying if he said he didn’t take notice of the differing rates that him and Grogu aged.

He had always known that Grogu would live much longer than he, therefore aging much slower. And he knew all he could do was prepare the kid for the world in the best way he could, teaching him to survive by himself in the large, unforgiving galaxy.

And he genuinely couldn’t ask for a better kid. Grogu proved time and time again that he would grow to be quite a formidable warrior. But some nights, when his baby climbed into bed with him and snuggled close to his side, he found himself unable to ignore the dull, aching feeling creeping up in his chest.

…

Din laid in the dark and listened to Grogu sleep, his small coos and snores filling the air around them. He pulled him closer. Din knew he wouldnt always be here to guide him, but he hoped for the short time they knew each other that he could show grogu exactly what it was to feel safe and loved.

10-15?

10. How do you decide what to write?

I tend to decide what to write based on spite. If I see something that suggests a headcanon or chraracterization I don't agree with, I tend to write something offering another point of view to it.

11. Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is?

It depends on the Fandom. For marvel, I'm way more equal opportunist. For Star Wars I'm more set in a handful of pairings. I tend to enjoy Obi-Wan pairings that bring out his inner gremlin like Quinobi and Codywan (although it is a rare thing for people to write codywan in a way that features Cody being weird and Obi-wan being weird back). Obi-wan is an interesting character to me because he is in denial of how dramatic he is and i enjoy when other characters bring it out of him either as a foil or a co-conspirator.

I like Din ships a lot, especially Bobadin, Dinluke, Dincobb (I'm new here). I tend to prefer Din in loose polyships because he doesn't come across to me as someone who would be comfortable spending their life with one person and one person only.

I do enjoy Obimaul in a gentle sort of way, in terms of both of them having a shitload of experiences and values in common but being too headstrong and grumpy to acknowledge it.

I am realizing now that I tend to like ships that make people as obnoxious as possible.

12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike but have grown on you?

I dislike a lot of tropes, specifically around characterization. There are ships that I've def changed my mind on, but not too often tropes.

13. Are there any tropes you used to like but don’t anymore?

Yeah fuckin arranged marriage for dinluke. Used to find it nice enough but now it's just terrible because people don't know how to act and no one fuckin writes humor in star wars. Jesus Christ we don't have to win the war in every fic.

14. Are there any tropes you would only read if written by a trusted friend or writer?

Oh yeah

Marriage of convenience, Age Reversal, modern AU, Hauntings, horror, oc-centric fics, and so on. I'm a picky person and don't trust anyone, I'm very sorry.

15. What’s your favorite AU that you’ve written?

I think I answered this already but for now I'll say "parallelogram" just for Boba in that fic.

[colourfulgreyscales]

Confession time. None of the headcanons of the Mandalorian have grabbed me to be a fan. None. Not dinluke, or dincobb, or dinbo, or dinomera. (Mind you, I do respect all of them) There was a fanfiction that had a pairing that I am obsessed with an OC. That ruined all of the other ships for me. And I don't know why. That's my head being weird.

(And before you slam me: My first fanfiction with a Pedro character is a queer one! Also I am queer).

[how-about-gay]

Ok so ive seen a couple of folk on about this but not many. We know very little about cobbs past only that he was a slave. I think itd make sense that cobb is illiterate. The whole knowledge is power and reading is freedom. I rekon that the older slaves passed on what little they could to the younger ones but if you were caught you was punished heavily. Now maybe they were taught a couple of things for sign posts of direction but not much more.

Once cobb escaped i think he knew enough to get by or figured it out by context clues, ah yes that shop sells speeder parts so that must say mechanic or something. Now imagine din stumbling across this information. Cobb not being able to read is a sign of how his past still traps him in some way. So he offers to teach cobb, at first cobb is a little defensive but he goes along and then we get these two old cowboys bonding and learning about each other through this. We all learn things differently and that can say alot about a person, and for me letting someone see me stumble my way through something takes alot of trust. its about the mutual understanding, the yearning and doing something for love.

Id offer to write something but my forte is drawing, i could give it a go though i supose.

[sithaari]

The cultural differences with dincobb are so fun. On one hand, there are some things they just easily understand about the other. Like Cobb doesn't even find it odd how he never did get Din's name when they first met. Because as someone born and raised in slavery, he understands the necessity of keeping what's most important a secret. What's secret can't be taken away. And your name, whether it's the one you were born with or one you chose, is one of the most important things you can have. So, of course this Mandalorian, whose people have been hunted down by the Empire, isn't going to tell Cobb his name. He doesn't even think the whole "no one is allowed to see my face" rule is strange because Cobb has spent decades of his life possessing no bodily autonomy, and no one is entitled to know what Din looks like under his helmet anyway (and this throws Din for a loop because the vast majority of outsiders find his creed strange or ridiculous and treat his armor like a puzzle to solve, and then here is this half-feral man from a tiny desert town on a backwater planet, a man who is most definitely not Mandalorian, treating his creed with complete normalcy). And in return, Din never begrudged Cobb for not sharing certain parts of Tatooine's culture with him when their relationship was still new, still developing. Some things are just not shared with outsiders, and Din, too, is familiar with the power in secrecy. His covert survived for as long as they did because they kept secrets of their own (so when Cobb finally begins teaching Din Bocce and sharing the folktales his mother told him as a child, Din recognizes it for the landmark in their relationship that it is). And then there are some things they will never fully comprehend. Like how Din's armor is more than just armor. It's his identity, his soul. And Cobb, as much as he respects Din's creed, never treating his armor like an obstacle to overcome, doesn't completely get that. He can't fathom placing that much importance, his own sense of self, into a physical object. Those are too easily lost, and he grew up in a world where everything you had — your life, your freedom, your family — can be taken away. But Din's armor is important to him, and that's what matters to Cobb. And Din will never really understand what it's like to be enslaved, what it's like to inherit several generations worth of that kind of trauma. He's experienced pain and loss, too, but his trauma is of a different variety (not less or greater, just different). And Din knows he'll never fully understand, not in the way it means on Tatooine. He knows it during those nights when he can't sleep because a sandstorm is raging violently outside, and the sounds it creates are a bit too unnatural for his liking. But Cobb is sleeping beside him, more peacefully than usual, as if nothing in the galaxy could harm him, not while the storm surrounds their little desert home. And Din recalls the stories Cobb told him, the ones passed down from his mother and from multiple generations before her; and a part of him does understand, even if he is unable to find comfort from those stories in the same way Cobb does. He understands why those stories are so important, why Cobb treasures his native language to such a strong degree. When you’re born into slavery, stories and language are often the only things keeping you connected to your family, to your history. And that is certainly something Mandalorians can empathize with.

projecting onto din djarin? on my blog? more likely than you think!

[readbythestarlight]

DinCobb + 39

My boys!! Thank you friend!

39.

(a) Who initiated the relationship? 

Probably Cobb. Nothing big because he didn’t want to push Din into anything he wasn’t comfortable with. Just a steady progression from acquaintances to friends to wanting to be more than friends, and each of them aware of their own feelings but not sure of each other. So Cobb finally breaks the ice and lays his cards out on the table, and luckily for him Din is ready for that next step too.

(b) Who kissed who first?

First Keldabe Kiss - Cobb, without even knowing it was a thing. They get in a fight with some slavers or something and when it’s over Din offers Cobb a hand up out of the sand and they check on each other, and Cobb leans in and touches their foreheads together. It’s so quick and Cobb doesn’t even know it’s a big deal, but Din.exe stops working for several seconds.

Traditional kiss - Din. The day he’s finally ready to take the helmet off again and show Cobb who he is beneath it, a few months into their relationship. It’s sloppy and a little awkward and definitely the best kiss Cobb has ever had.

(c) When did they realize they were in love?

There isn’t a big realization for either of them, per se. Cobb was attracted to Din pretty much from their first meeting on, and it was the same for Din. That attraction continued as they developed a friendship and grew into a deep attachment and affection over time.

Like Mr. Darcy, they were both in the middle before they knew they’d begun to love each other, and when love became the settled feeling between them it didn’t take either of them by surprise.

Din/Cobb Pirate AU headcanons

Chucking these here because I’m super into the idea of expanding the drabble I wrote and hope this will help shake a plot idea of two loose. 

Feel free to add to the list.

-Din’s ship is called the Mando and was gifted to him by Boba who was the pirate Din trained under. 

-Cobb’s ship is called “Freetown” and is crewed by former slaves and other marginalized people. It’s a former slave ship that Cobb stole and repurposed. 

-There are tons of legends about the Mando and Din that make him out to be this complete badass when really he’s a decent leader and an over all kind and generous captain. 

-Cobb buys into ALL the legends about Din and loathes the guy even going so far as to pick a fight when they first meet. 

-Din is fascinated by Cobb and keeps picking a fight with him when they cross paths because he wants to understand why Cobb hates him so much. 

-Grogu is the Mando’s cabin boy and people assume he’s Din’s kid, but he’s just a foundling Din felt sorry for and has taken under his wing. 

-Cobb starts to soften up when he sees Din interacting with Grogu and caring about him. 

-Fennc and Boba co-captain a ship called the Hutt (Slave 1 doesn’t make sense in this context of this AU) 

-They enjoy poking the bears just to watch Cobb and Din sword fight and flirt. 

-Cobb’s second, Issea Or and Cobb’s Cara Dune both enjoy their captain’s clashing and clashing with each other. So much flirting all around. 

-Both Cobb and Din hit ships that traffic in things that could hurt people and use at least half their funds to help those in need. 

-They discover this when they both hit the same ship and are forced to work together and let their crews vote on how to split up the cargo. 

-Moff Gideon = Jack Norrington without the redemption arc. 

-Luke and Asohka captain the Jedi. Asokha is training Luke to take over. 

[eurydia]

by the stars above, I know we were in love

sunrise version and context below

a scene for a DinCobb fic I’m working on. I have a headcanon where Cobb goes planespotting and stargazing some nights, and he always hopes he’ll see Mando’s ship flying by (or hopefully landing someday :D) ❤

the fic is still a work in progress, but if you’re interested here’s the fanmix: [when the night is over] - DinCobb mix

[amikoroyaiart]

Maybe Mando for the ask game. (I don't know if you have answered it for him already. And I hope you have a nice day!!)

Favorite thing about them:

I love that he doesn't know he's in Star Wars

Least favorite thing about them:

Can't think of any. Just join Boba's clan Mando, please. You will feel better there.

Favorite line:

Take it off, or I will

BrOTP:

Din and Grogu, Din and Boba, Din and Fennec, Din and Peli,

OTP:

Din and Cobb

I also have a soft spot for Din and Boba

NOTP:

I don't vibe with Din and Luke

Random headcanon:

Appears tough but is a softie. He keeps every drawing Grogu did.

Unpopular opinion:

As much as I loved last episode of book of Boba fett because damn I missed Din, I think the whole ep was a bit too much for a show that is not actually about Din. Especially that s3 is confirmed.

Song I associate with them:

Be there - Seafret (it's my fav dincobb song)

Fav photo:

[hamartia-grander]

A, E, F, H, K, R, S, T, X, Z! Go wild <3

Mar I love you to death thank you <333

A - Ships that you currently like a lot: I'm currently obsessed with simarkus, reed900, and Hank and Connor's father-son familial relationship in DBH; also Ethan Winters' polycule (Heisenberg, Chris, and Mia) in Resident Evil.

E - Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?: I don't think so? I mean I wrote a semi crack fic for DBH on tumblr a few months ago but idk if that counts cause it was technically only one paragraph of crack. Behind the scenes, however, I'm writing scripts for a crack Resident Evil short film and a crack Detroit: Become Human Brooklyn 99-esque show. Those won't greet the public for a long time though, if at all.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom?: Technically star wars has been a constant fandom since I was 6 thanks to my f*ther, but it's such a big franchise with so many different parts it's kinda like having fandoms within fandoms. I.e, I have my clone wars phases, my sequel trilogy phases, my mandalorian phases, rebels, the games, the books, that kinda thing. The Mandalorian and the Sequels were the longest though, lasting several months. Same with DBH, I've been in that fandom since last November which is crazy for me. (same length of time as my dincobb era,,,)

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?: It used to be books, and I do still love reading books, but I think shows and games are my #1 favourites now. With my declining attention span those are about the only things I can latch onto easily.

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?: AGENT KALLUS FROM STAR WARS REBELS. I lived his development arc, the metaphor being that my parents are the empire and the ISB is conditioned homophobia, the Rebels being the Gays, etc etc. For that reason it was so incredible and refreshing to get to see a character go from having a conditioned and ignorant perspective to breaking free of that because of one catalyst who made him question everything he thought he knew. And then, not only does he break free of it, he actively fights back against it, risking his life so many times to gather intel for the Rebels and keep them safe. And then when he finally gets to join them he is just the most dedicated, intelligent, strong willed fighter and he listens to others. He doesn't wallow in self pity over being a former imperial; he works to undo the harm he caused, he moves forward, he asks forgiveness but doesn't need it to change, and he forms strong friendships (and in one case a relationship) with the people he used to fight. It's beautiful and I love him so much.

R - Which friendship/platonic relationship is your favorite in fandom?: I love Hank and Connor's father-son relationship with my whole heart. Found family is my shit. Same with the Jericrew, and Kara Alice and Luther. DBH has some excellent found family content. I also love fics/headcanons where Gavin and Connor are Best Bros. And speaking of Rebels, that is a show full to the brim of found family. I feel like Dave Filoni also has some familial trauma or something bc all of his shows have intense found family themes (clone wars, rebels, bad batch, the mandalorian) which like good for him

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon: In Resident Evil I headcanon that [SPOILERS] Ethan survives obviously and that he is in love with Mia, Chris, and Heisenberg bc I love them all and he deserves all the love. Also yk most of what I like about Gavin Reed are either things Neil Newbon (his VA) has said about him or my own headcanons.

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending?: Connor from DBH is asexual and aromantic and I will die on this hill. Also Ethan Winters from RE is bi polyamorous. Also also Chris Redfield is a Gay Man but that's kinda technically canon too. Poe and Finn Dameron are married. Gavin Reed is gay and a dog person (Neil confirmed ;). Hank and Connor are father and son but that is canon, I just unfortunately have to defend it from fans who are gross. Also so many characters are trans: Gavin Reed, Ethan and Mia Winters, Leon Kennedy, Heisenberg, Lady Dimitrescu, Chloe North Josh and Rupert from DBH, Han Solo, I could go on.

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom: I'm an absolute slut for fake dating/relationship to lovers. I'm sure a therapist could explain why but I sure can't. Idk why it has such a hold on me but I promise if a fic's got a fake relationship trope I'm gonna love it. Just the mutual pining and complete dumbassery, the tension, the yearning, the denial, it's like actually addicting for me. There's not enough of it.

Z - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go!: It's crazy the amount of entitled fans there are, especially on this site. And I mean, anywhere from fans who invade the privacy of the actors/creators they're fans of, to fans who shit on the things other people love or actively go out of their way to be rude to other fans who are just enjoying something. When I dislike things in fandoms, I block the tags and I do not interact. I don't want to see it so I don't go looking for it. But there are fans that think they have the right to go into other people's safe spaces and attack them for any opinion that are different from theirs. Chill tf out y'all. You're not entitled to other people's privacy, to their opinions, to their content, etc. You are entitled to stfu and leave. So do that.

On a lighter note, I've made such wonderful friends through fandoms who have made all the shitty people absolutely worth it. I love y'all💜💕

[starboundanon]

super original here: Din?

mr. mando daddy himself

favorite thing about them

Is Din the darkest SW character? Not by a long shot. Is he still violent and protective and morally grey as fuck? YOU BET, and I love that.

least favorite thing about them

Guy would absolutely fall for the "if you look up the word gullible in the dictionary there's a picture of your face" prank. He gets taken for a ride by literally every character he meets.

favorite line

"If you put one mark on him there is no place you will be able to hide from me."

brOTP

BobaDin, every day, every hour. every minute.

OTP

Dinluke primarily but close second Dincobb these days

nOTP

Dincara just doesn't salt my apples, though I'm open to seeing if the recasting of Cara does anything for me

random headcanon

Din's absolutely demisexual and also a virgin. The first time he hooks up with someone, whether it's one of the many gorgeous ladies of the SW universe, Cobb "My Whole Town Wants to Fuck Me" Vanth, or perfect, radiant, angelic, can-sense-your-pleasure-through-the-Force-to-give-you-the-best-orgasm-ever Luke Skywalker, Din crumbles like an Albertan road. Lasts four seconds, tops. But is so incredibly feral after 30-something odd years of rarely nutting ever that he's ready to go again before his tears have even rolled to the bottom of his cheeks. Bro is pent UP.

unpopular opinion

Honestly, Din kind of... bores me. Idk, compared to the dozens of other magical, alien, and straight up insane characters in the SW universe, Din kind of falls short. Fanon Din is vastly more interesting, and I personally can't credit Lucasfilm for that. Their Din is the butter sandwich to fanon Din's glorious meatball footlong sub.

song i associate with them

Baby Shark and every other terrible, migraine-inducing baby song that modern Grogu absolutely listens to on repeat all day every day.

Worried daddy!

I’m 20+ looking forsomeone 18+ to write dinluke,Obikin, or dincobb with. I’m open to brainstorm headcanons and au’s. Im a literate writer para/ novela style and I don’t mind smut. I don’t mind writing any of the characters so it not a big dealbreaker.

character prompt list - din djarin

oh dear I am ECSTATIC to answer this and gush over my favourite tin can man 🤍

• favourite thing about them: it's important I start this by saying that din djarin became one of my absolute fave in sw so fast it's actually ridiculous and I'm more than a little in love with him SO THAT BEING SAID he is so GENTLE like you wouldn't expect that from a bounty hunter who's seen and been through so much and YET he's the kindest person in the galaxy (if you've read my previous post about obi-wan: yes, there is a pattern here). Also, of course being a dad to grogu is a big part of his whole characterisation and what absolutely wrecks me is that he loves and cares for his child in a way that is completely disinterested about his own desires and wants... him letting go Grogu? him deciding not to see him despite being so close to him? I'm I tears.

Also every dry, sarcastic comment Din makes adds ten years to my lifespan

• least favorite thing about them: absolutely nothing I love this man so much leave me alone 😭😭😭😭

• favourite line: "he means more to me than you will ever know" USING GIDEON'S WORD AGAINST HIM WHILE BEING THE SOFTEST BADASS DAD EVER I need a minute

• brOTP: BOBA we love tin can men being besties and I hope to see him interact more with Fennec in the future 🤍

• OTP: 💗💗💗💗💗💗 DINLUKE 💗💗💗💗💗 they came out from nowhere and turned my life upside down and literally crushed my writer block... the chokehold they have on me is incredible. I could rant for DAYS about them being the most delightful ship that has ever been shipped and I think that if THE RAT WASN'T FUCKING HOMOPHOBIC and if star wars didn't care about dudebros opinions they would be 100% canon thanks for coming to my tedtalk.

• nOTP: honestly I ship din only with luke lmao I don't particularly dislike other ships, just not my thing ig??? ex I don't get the hype for dincobb but hey, to each their own, right?

• random headcanon: i think he has a very expressive face and bc he's been wearing the helmet for so many years he never really learned to control his expressions so imagine din making all sort of funny/exasperated faces under it lmao

• unpopular opinion: it's very random but in fanfictions I always read that din and han would dislike each other and I STRONGLY DISAGREE YOUR HONOR maybe they wouldn't hit off immediately but in the end I think they would be best pals and co-founders of the "I Married Into Thee Skywalker Family And Now I Keep Getting Involved In All The Galaxy Drama". Meetings are on Thursdays.

• song I associate with them: I heard some days ago "Remember Me" from Coco sang by Christina Perri and it made me think about Din and Grogu I am unwell.

• favourite picture of them:

I KNOW IT'S A MEME BUT IT SENDS ME LMAO
