#i cannot wait to be back to being in love with pedro pascal it’s gonna be huge

[mielgf]

not to sound like a Dweeb but also to sound like a Dweeb, the last of us episode 1 drops tn besties and i’m ready to have my brain chemistry altered permanently just as the first play through of the game did

[hiscyarika]

Let me just make myself perfectly clear before I carry on with my fun on the dash.

TL;DR: If you read Rough Day, that’s fine. Just don’t shove it down people’s throats. And no writer, no-droids included, deserves any harassment or hate over it.  

There is nothing wrong with reading Rough Day. There is nothing wrong with enjoying Rough Day. If it makes you happy, read it. That’s the whole reason why it was written. For people to enjoy. That’s the entire purpose of fanfiction. You read Rough Day? Awesome. Good for you.

The problem arises when authors and artists are constantly having their work compared to Rough Day. “Oh this is just like what happens in Rough Day!” “Reading this while I wait for the RD update!” “This was great but Rough Day is the best Din fic out there.” For us writers, it is a constant reminder that our work will never be good enough on its own. For artists, they can’t even draw Din or Pedro or other characters, for that matter, without some RD stan commenting something about the fic. There was a beautiful piece of Oberyn art by @hail-doodles that goes along with her Oberyn fic, that someone decided to comment on and say was like RD or like an AU for it. We literally cannot escape it. 

So when a writer gets an absurd ask telling them that referring to Din having brown eyes is a theme in RD, of course we are going to laugh at it. Yeah we’re gonna describe him as having brown eyes. Have you seen Pedro Pascal? Did you watch S2E6? And yeah, we’re gonna make memes and shitposts. Because we’ve been dealing with this for months now, and I think most of us have given up on ever seeing an end to it. Making fun of this ask isn’t bullying anyone. We’re just laughing at the toxic minority of people that read the series and don’t let any other piece of fic/art exist outside of it.

That being said, no one should be attacking the author. I have no issue with the author or the fact that the fic exists. Good for her! I wish that many people loved my work that much. I hope her hiatus does her good and that she can come back to writing her beloved fic without anyone harassing her for it. I completely understand that she has zero control over the RD cult. If you’re harassing no-droids and making her feel like shit, you are also part of the problem. 

So I’m gonna continue to reblog the memes and shitposts now. If it really bothers you that much, you do whatever you feel like you need to do to cleanse your dash. 

[xcertaindarkthingsx]

so i’m still emotionally hungover from the finale

like.... embarrassingly so. it’s coming up on a week and i still tear up thinking about it or whenever i see gifs on my dash (which is why i haven’t reblogged any mando things lately alkdjfalj i cry everytime)

but idk i just have a lot of thots still about it so i’m just gonna dump them here.  feel free to message/ask to discuss, we can be in pain together LMAO

OK FIRST THE FACT THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2022 

i was so devastated when i heard that my god 

like yes of course i am excited for boba fett and to see fennec bUT LIKE I MISS MY SPACE COWBOY AND HIS SON

i just.... cannot get over that they’re apart

like, trust me i understand why grogu had to leave but it just breaks my fucking heart

i cannot get over how good din is.  like he is just a good person overall.  he gives so much even if it means getting nothing in return.  even to complete strangers.  he’s this hardened, no nonsense man but shows so much KINDNESS to everyone he touches and that’s why i love him so so much 

even after doing everything in his power to save the kid, he still loses him in the end but he lets him go because he knows it’s for the best

like... din knows what it’s like to be lost, to be without his people, his clan.  hell, he’s living it! he’s looking for the rest of his covert after seeing them mostly get wiped out, not even knowing how many of them are even left.

and now we know that grogu went through the same thing as a youngling, he’s lost and without his people, he doesn’t have that familiarity and he never thought he would get that back. until now.

until that new hope of luke appears

so that’s why din let’s him go. he wants his son to become what he was meant to be.  

and i don’t even wanna TALK ABOUT GROGU ASKING FOR PERMISSION TO LEAVE 

BC IT HURTS

HE LOVES DIN SO MUCH HE SEES HIM AS A FATHER

AND GROGU WAS PROBABLY SO TORN ABOUT LEAVING 

but maybe he does bc he knows how much his dad has sacrificed to get him where he is.  and he wants to protect him.  

I’M CRYING AGAIN  

DIN DJARIN DESERVES TO BE WITH HIS CHILD AND YET HE ISN’T

he started this journey alone and now he’s just... alone again

ALSO WE DIDN’T GET A KELDABE KISS OR HIM SPEAKING TO GROGU IN MANDO’A AND I WILL BE FOREVER SALTY ABOUT IT OKAY

the face touch was so precious though, i’ll give them that bc i was bawling like a mf baby 

“don’t be afraid?” yeah excuse me while i go pass away

the whole moment was just so soft and tender it just melted my insides 

shoutout to pedro pascal’s magnificent acting during that whole scene bc i was inconsolable for like hours

ALSO WHY DID THEY MAKE HIM TAKE OFF HIS HELMET WITH SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE ROOM!!!!!!!!!!

i feel like it would have been more impactful if they had like a brief private moment together

yanno THAT WAY DIN IS NOT LIKE ACTIVELY SHOWING HIS FACE TO EVERYONE

that nod of acknowledgement between din and luke, where din understands that luke really will protect the child with his life so he knows it’s okay.

i’m fine

WHY DIDN’T THEY BRING UP THE SILVER BALL AND THE MYTHOSAUR NECKLACE

WHY

i would have loved to see just, idk a shot of the necklace on grogu and din like absentmindedly holding the metal ball

i don’t want to think about how after din probably just holds it and cries 

I’M FINE

luke skywalker showing up to save the day in his chanel boots will always be a fave

however it sucks that i immediately bawl 2 minutes after he shows up HAHA the thrill of seeing him is cut short by my sadness

(although.... it would have been cool to see cal. but i’m ok with it being luke bc we finally get the luke we deserve/know and love)

also luv ludwig goransson for the bangers

even though the theme makes me cry now

also, MISS ‘gideon is mine, got it?’ BO-KATAN...... WHY TF DID YOU NOT LOOK FOR GIDEON WHEN HE WAS NOT ON THE BRIDGE 

HMMMMMMMM

(i understand this was to further complicate the plot of her acquiring the darksaber but like.... man did it piss me off when she had that surprised pikachu face after seeing din with that saber LMAO like what did u think was gonna happen girl?????)

props to gideon for being a shady lil’ shit about it LMAO 

however shoutout to our accidental mand’alor din djarin

luv that for him

he’s sexy with that saber CHANGE MY MIND

pls i cannot get that end shot of boba and fennec on the throne out of my head ladjfkdj the bi panic was real 

uhhhh ya i think that’s it 

i had a lot more thoughts tbh but i’m at work and burnt out so 

[ohpedromypedro]

Ice Cream To Celebrate

A/N: This request was sent in by @catwinchesterkaz2y5 and let me tell you, I am SOFT. 🥺👉🏼👈🏼 Usually I’m not good writing fluff, but when it comes to Papa!Pedro, I can conjure up some cute ass fluff. Thank you for this request! I can’t wait to work on the next one you sent in. 😩💕

word count: 2.3k+ (was not expecting it to be this long 👀)

characters: Pedro x f!Reader x daughter oc

warnings: PURE FLUFF, THAT’S IT

The pitter patter of your almost four year old daughter Verónica’s feet is heard on the hallway floor just outside your bedroom by yourself and Pedro, who are still currently curled up in each other’s hold with your legs intertwined like tangled rope, just laying there trying to get the courage to finally climb your asses out of your comfortable bed; and you both can’t help but smile at each other when the door opens and in comes your daughter with her favorite teddy in hand. It’s actually a Build-A-Bear Baby Yoda, but still, like a teddy. 

“Mamá? Papá?” She inquires, grabbing hold of your comforter and hoisting herself and her teddy up by the wooden bedframe with her foot as her boost, grinning when she sees the two of you looking toward her. “Mamá, Papá! You’s awake!”

“Yes, princesa, we’ve been awake,” Pedro chuckles, holding his arm open so Verónica can come join you for cuddles. Once she’s curled up against his chest, he closes his arm around her and holds her warmly against him. “My favorite part of the morning. Cuddles with my two favorite girls.”

“I love you,” you murmur, looking up at your husband from where you lay your head on his chest and pressing a gentle kiss to his lips.

“I love you,” he sighs in content, kissing you in return.

“I love you Mamá and Papá.”

“We love you too.” You say it at the same time Pedro does, which you two smile at and share another kiss over.

“I want pancakes,” Verónica sighs and you and Pedro just laugh softly.

“That so? Well why didn’t you say so, hermosa chica? Papá will whip you and Mamá up a couple of delicious blueberry pancakes, how does that sound?”

“Yeah yeah yeah! That soun’ yummy, Papá!” Verónica giggles, pressing a bunch of kisses all over Pedro’s face. Pedro just laughs and easily lifts Verónica up in the air, playfully flying her around above him before bringing her back down to attack her with kisses. “Noooo not kissy monster!” She squeals.

“Yes the kissy monster! You’ve awoken him now! Mwahaha!” He lets out a playful, evil laugh, continuing to kiss her face and arms and tummy while she giggles loud and wiggles in his arms.

“Papá please! That tickles!” She squeals, trying to escape his arms and crawl toward you. “Mamá save me! Please!”

You can’t help but to giggle at the two of them, dropping your hands so you can start tickling Pedro’s sides which he yelps at and releases Verónica so she can escape toward the foot of the bed. Pedro looks at you with playful betrayal, his hand going up to rest over his heart.

“Betrayed by my own wife.”

“Girls gotta stick together, baby, you know that,” you tease, leaning over to gently kiss his lips before moving to press yours to his ear, speaking low enough so only he can hear. “but when she’s down for her nap later, I’ll make it up to you.” You pull back with a small smirk before getting up from the bed and lifting Verónica into your arms. “Come on, babygirl. Let’s go race Papá to the kitchen.”

“Yeah, yeah!” She giggles, blowing raspberries at Pedro as you run with her out of the room which he just chuckles at and soon jumps off the bed to chase you. She screams when she sees him catching up to you both. “Faster Mamá, he coming!”

“I’m gonna beat you there!” He cackles, using one of the railings on the staircase to quickly slide down and pass you and Verónica, racing right for the kitchen.

“Papá cheating!” She whines, jumping down from your arms when you finally reach the bottom of the stairs and running over to Pedro to lightly hit his leg. “No fair!”

“I didn’t hear any rules, so I played plenty fair,” he teases, leaning down to scoop Verónica into his arms and rest her on his hip. “Now, you wanna help Papá make some pancakes?”

“Yeah, yeah!” She giggles excitedly, clapping her hands as Pedro sits her on the countertop so he can start grabbing everything to make the pancakes.

You watch the two of them from afar, leaning against the frame of the kitchen doorway so you can admire how adorable they are as they start making the pancakes. Pedro has always been adorable to you, but he’s a completely different type of adorable when it comes to your daughter. There’s just something about being a father, you guess.

Pedro notices that you’re just standing there watching and looks over at you to give you a warm smile.

“Gonna join us or what, Mamá?”

“Yeah, Mamá! Why you stare like that?” Verónica asks you, watching as Pedro pours some pancake batter into a frying pan.

“Just admiring my two favorite people in the whole entire world being adorable and making pancakes together.” You smile, walking over so you can give Verónica a kiss on the head.

“You’s adorable,” she says back to you, looking up at you and pressing a little kiss to your lips.

“Thank you, babygirl.” You smile at her, brushing your fingers through her hair. “How about after breakfast, we take a bath and then maybe we can all go for a nice walk at the park?”

“Yeah, yeah! Ice cream! Ice cream!”

“Yes, ice cream too if you’re a good girl and behave during your bath, okay?”

“Okay Mamá,” she giggles, kissing your cheek before shuffling closer to Pedro and nuzzling his shoulder while the pancakes cook. “I want Papá give me bath.”

“If Papá is okay with that, he can give you a bath if you want.”

“Papá is very okay with that, princesa.” He smiles down at Verónica and gives her forehead a soft kiss. “Once we finish eating breakfast, Papá will give you a bath. You want a bubble bath?”

“Bubbles!” She squeals, kicking her feet excitedly.

“I take that as a yes,” he chuckles, kissing her hair before flipping the pancakes, placing the well cooked ones on a plate set to the side. “Would Mamá like to grab some butter for the delicious pancakes?”

“Of course,” you smile, going to grab the butter dish and bringing it over to the dining table where you start setting plates and silverware out as well so you can eat. “Orange juice?”

“Yes please!”

“Anything for you, my sweet girl.” You smile over at Verónica before grabbing the orange juice from the fridge and one of her sippy cups from the cabinet, grabbing yourself and Pedro a glass of your own.

Once you get everything situated at the dining table, you head back to where Pedro is just finishing piling the pancakes onto a plate. He quickly turns the stove off and turns to smile at you, lifting his hand up to gently brush his thumb against your cheekbone. You lean into his touch and hum, turning your face so you can kiss the palm of his hand.

“I love you.”

“I love you too, mi bella esposa. Now let’s eat, yeah?”

“Yeah,” you smile, quickly kissing his lips before grabbing the plate of pancakes and carrying them over to the table. “Oh! Honey, can you grab the maple syrup too?”

“Good thinking. I almost forgot,” he chuckles, grabbing the homemade maple syrup a family friend of yours gifted you and bringing that over to the table as well.

“Can’t have pancakes without syrup, can you?” You chuckle, sitting Verónica in her chair before cutting her up a pancake and putting it on her personally made Mandalorian plate, courtesy of her Papá.

Pedro pours a small amount of syrup on her pancakes and gives you a smile and a peck on the lips. “No you cannot.”

The two of you sit down in your own seats and help yourselves to some pancakes, adding some butter and syrup as preferred before starting to eat. You pour yourself, Pedro, and Verónica some orange juice, giving Verónica her sippy cup and watching with a smile as she takes a long sip of her juice.

“Are you enjoying your breakfast, pretty girl?” You chuckle and Verónica nods.

“Uh huh. Can’t wait for ice cream.”

“Of course you can’t,” Pedro chuckles, giving his head an amused shake. “Like mother, like daughter.”

“Ice cream is life,” you state, giving your eyelids a squint in his direction. Pedro just laughs and playfully throws a piece of pancake at your face. “Hey!” You pout, grabbing the pancake and throwing it back at him. “Meanie.”

“Awww, you know I’m just teasing, baby.” He smirks, leaning across the table to kiss the tip of your nose. “I know how important your love for ice cream is,” he chuckles.

“Yeah,” you smile at his kiss to your nose, looking up at him with admiration. “I don’t know what I’d do without you, José Pedro Balmaceda Pascal. You are the absolute best husband and father that could ever exist.”

“You two are my world and you deserve nothing less,” he murmurs, kissing you gently.

“I love you so much,” you whisper into the kiss, your hand gently touching his face.

~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂  ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~⁂ ~

The three of you finish eating pretty quickly and soon Pedro has Verónica upstairs taking her bath. While he bathes Verónica, you focus on the after breakfast clean up, figuring that you get it out of the way while your clingy daughter is preoccupied with her bubble bath. Cleaning with a toddler around is not an easy task, so it’s always best to do it while she’s bathing or playing in her room.

You smile as you listen closely to your husband and daughter just up the stairs in the bathroom, listening to their cute little exchanges while playing with her toys, your heart unable to handle all the cuteness. You can’t help but think about how lucky you truly are to have a man as incredible as Pedro in your life and you’re especially lucky to have such a beautiful child with him.

Wait.

You suddenly frown, your hand slapping to your mouth as you quickly run to the downstairs bathroom just a few rooms down from the kitchen, making it to the toilet just in time to throw up your breakfast. You groan as all your stomach’s contents come up and out of you, your hand weakly holding your hair back.

“Ugh gross,” you sigh, slowly standing up and flushing the toilet, rinsing your mouth out with some mouthwash right after. “What the hell was that about?” You ask yourself, rubbing your stomach with furrowed brows. You never get sick like that, not unless you’re… Oh. Your eyes widen and immediately you check your period track app on your phone. “Three weeks late?!” 

You gasp, moving to dig through the cabinet below the bathroom sink for a pregnancy test, sighing in relief when you find one that you had purchased not too long ago, as a just in case. Once you get the test out of its wrapping, you quickly do your duty and wait for the results. You’re a tad bit worried now. What if Pedro isn’t ready for another child? What if he only wants just one? What will happen then?

You nervously chew your lip while you wait for the result, practically staring at the test until you see the positive symbol pop up. Your eyes widen, a shocked expression taking over your features as you get lost in the positive result.

“Y/N?” Pedro’s voice snaps you back to reality and immediately you’re gasping again, grabbing the pregnancy test and rushing out to where he’s coming down the stairs with Verónica in his arms.

“Pedro,” you can’t help but to grin wide, your nervousness now becoming excitement as you face your husband to tell him the news. He sets Verónica down with a quirked brow, sensing your silent excitement.

“Honey?”

You hold out the pregnancy test for him to take and his eyes go wide the second he sees the result, his lips tugged into the widest of grins.

“You’re pregnant?”

“Three weeks late for my period.”

“I’m gonna be a Papá again?” He inquires, his eyes lit up with excitement. His excitement makes your heart flutter and you can only give your head a small nod, biting your lip with a smile.

“Yes, baby.”

“Oh I love you so much, Y/N Y/M/N Pascal. You make the happiest man to walk this Earth.”

“I love you too,” you whisper, quickly wrapping your arms around his neck and kissing him deeply.

“Mamá havin’ baby?” Verónica looks up at the two of you, moving to settle between yours and Pedro’s legs. You both look down at her and smile.

“Yes, sweetie. Mamá’s gonna make you a big sister.”

“Yay! Best day ever!” She squeals, jumping up and down and clapping. “I hope is a boy!”

“Yeah? Me too,” Pedro grins, kneeling down and giving his daughter a warm hug. “If it’s a boy, what should we name him?”

“After tío!”

“I think Oscar would quite love the idea of that,” you chuckle, resting your hand over your stomach. Pedro looks up at you and smiles, gently resting his hand over yours before moving them away and pressing a kiss to your tummy.

“I can’t wait to spoil you while you carry our second child.” He murmurs, moving to stand up once again and press his lips to your own, his hand now rubbing over your stomach. “I can’t wait to share the good news.”

“Me too,” you smile. “But for now, let’s enjoy our nice walk in the park today with our perfect little girl. Everyone can wait til tonight for the news, don’t you agree?”

“I do,” Pedro smiles, resting his forehead against your own. “Ice cream to celebrate?”

“Ice cream to celebrate.”

This guy’s gonna get captured too lol I know it

Ahaha I knew it

Welp at least Mando Man’s gonna be probs a bit nicer about it

OOOOOHHHHHHHH I FREAKIN LOVE THE TITLE MUSIC

Wait did we even know what planet this was?

So he doesn’t like droids or they’re easily tracked or????

Can’t be the opening of a Star WArs movie without a trashy old Uber driver of some sorts

Also cannot be proper Star Wars without someone calling another person’s ship garbage ahah I love this

Oh dinosaur monster walrus worm cool

Ya know this guy is surprisingly nonchalant about being taken in for a bounty

Shock staff or bug zapper?  A two in one deal!!!

Oh NOW you like his ship

Pfft I know like exactly zilch about ships, I’m not one of those SW nerds, can someone tell me if Razor Crests or anything are supposed to be important or not?

Vac Tube?  Huh, I thought “fresher” was the word for “space potty”.  Guess there’s more than one lol

Ooooo weapons

C’mon this guy really thinks he’s getting out?  Pfff

Oh so Life Day is canonically a galactic holiday then, not just another word for “birthday”.  I mean I kinda knew cuz they use “birthday” for Ezra in Rebels but this confirms Life Day too

Ooooo new planet!  I wish they told us the names like Rogue One did

Aaaaaand yet another bar

OMG RECOGNIZABLE LUCAS ALIENS THANK YOU FAVREAU I’M GONNA CRY THANK YOU

*Pokemon theme* Catch em’ alll

heck yea boi stick it to the Empire

Omg I’m hopeless Pedro Pascal has such a nice voic aaaaaaaa.

“I’ll take them all” Cocky bastard

his VOICEEEEEEE AAAAAA.  

I’m already intrigued, but I really want to see more of his character behind just “cool armor fighter mask man mystery”.

Ik ik I’m being impatient this is only the first ep but still

Also his cloak game is On Point and I love it

HEY IT’S SOME OF THOSE TRASH CAN DROIDS I LOVE THOSE

*Obi Wan voice* Hello there stormtroopers xD

Hmm so who’s the doctor?

That metal old dude’s wearing, it’s not Rebel Alliance, is it Empire?  It makes sense if he’s hanging out with Stormtroopers

Wait shoot Old Dude could be another Mando, if he’s got beskar and all

BAHAHA ROASTED MONKEY LIZARD AND THEY’RE TRAUMATIZING THE LIVE ONE XD ANAKIN WOULD BE PLEASED HE HATES THOSE THINGS.  SO WOULD POE HAHA

I’m adoring the Western-style soundtrack

Oooo more Mandos

And color me wrong but that curvy fleur-de-lis thingy on the wall is the Mandalore symbol right?  I forget, don’t kill me

Head of his guild here I guess?

What is the Purge?  Ooo so he doesn’t have legit beskar armor cuz it’s rare, so he’s trying to build a 

new suit?

I like the design of the armorer’s mask

What’s a Foundling???

Ohhh his traumatic backstory I guess?

Bahaha I just thought he’s got the same tragic backstory as Kung Fu Panda pffffttttt

I Love The MUSIC

Another planet, this one sandy.  Tatooine?  The rocks look right and I know the show was going there 

Aight this looks right Imma say this is Tatooine for now, the planet likes to pop up in people’s scanners Tusken-style and attack you like Space Australia does

I recognize this alien guy’s (Ugnaught? Gah I can never keep species names straight ik I’m horrible) voice from somewhere

Vaporizers, another point towards Tatooine

Oooo sassy “idk if I want your help”

Omg bluurgs, those were on Rebels!!!

Bahaha animal taming time!  I’m glad they’re keeping some Star Wars Humor in here, it wouldn’t feel quite right if it was too serious

*How To Train Your Dragon theme plays*

The CGI my dudes!!!!!!!

At least Mando Man is polite

“I have spoken” That’s gonna be my new answer for whenever I don’t know anything and someone calls me on my BS

Weequays!!!!!!!

Oop now they dead

Guess someone’s got competition

He just doesn’t like droids then :(

Wait what can a droid do with credits?

I guess every SW protag needs a trusy droid sidekick lol

Bahaha “do not self destruct” me @ me

I love him he’s got that “done with everything” attitude

Wheeeeeeee spinny gun!!!!!!

Yay they’re friendly!

Aw he’s nice for a bounty hunter!

Omg old-timey door sparky explosions THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Another trash can lol

Omg they put the freaking Baby Yoda in the trash can pfffttt it’s a literal trash baby gremlin

Awwww he likes children!!!

Ok good he protected the baby over the droid

THAT LITTLE FINGER

AND FILONI DIRECTED IT OF COURSE HE DID

AAAAAAAAAA

STILL REALLY LOVING THE WESTERN-STYLE MUSIC

I can’t watch the next one quite yet cuz busy, but omg omg omg omg I really liked this!  I know Filoni and Favreau know probably the most about canon Mandalore between the two of them (Favreau played Pre Viszla on TCW) so I totally trust them to do this well.  I’m liking Mando Man! (I shall call him Mando Man until they give him a real name and No One Can Stop Me)  I haven’t learned much about him yet, but so far I see that he’s a dedicated hunter and kinda a crankypants, but he cares about children!  He has a moral compass!  I’ll stan for now!!!!

I’m really really happy they brought the old Star Wars aliens back into this, I haven’t seen any live-action ones for so so long now ;_;  

I’m interested about the Great Purge, but I’ll go more into that on a separate post lol

[isu-aya]

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

*heavy breathing*

My brother, cousin, and I just watched Kingsman: The Golden Circle last night (Sept. 20). It was glorious. And, also, I’m feeling a bit conflicted about it.

To summarise: A LOT of what happens is pretty dark (to Seriously Dark) if you actually stopped to think about it. But the movie doesn’t let you do that, pretty much how the first movie ended. It’s very fast paced and exciting, with very little breathing room in between scenes. Definitely recommend that you go see it, whether you’ve seen the first movie or not. It’s worth the watch.

Apparently, I can’t discuss it completely without talking about spoilers, so here’s the only warning you’re gonna get. SPOILERS!!!!

To be upfront, Hartwin is one of my favorite ships, and I CANNOT WAIT for the waves of new Hartwin, and other Kingsman fanfics to flood in. Because this movie, okay, this movieeeeeee. So much stuff was going on, so many things happened, that I know fandom is just gonna collectively pick it apart and BOOM hundreds upon thousands of fic ideas born. But I digress.

SPOILERS START HERE.

I.      The Characters: Don’t get too attached.

The whole gang is back. And I mean this in the weirdest way possible. As the entire fandom called Harry’s not-death years ago, there wasn’t much surprise for his return (excitement, yes, surprise, no).

The surprising Returning Characters were: Charlie (whose not-death is explained quite early on), and Princess Tilde (who I was so not expecting to be part of this movie, much less play a huge part in the first and last act).

Princess Tilde and Eggsy in an actual relationship was surprising, and while I wasn’t completely happy that there was romance in this movie, I was more than willing to ignore this little fact (seeing as I had the warm embrace of ao3 to look forward to). Then KTGC hits me with The Ending. Like, seriously, I was laughing, but mostly in disbelief (more on this later).

We also get brief, but meaningful instances of Eggsy mourning Harry, missing Harry, and feeling so very deeply for Harry. Thank you, Taron, for pulling it off so beautifully.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle starts off pretty much like the first, only, remember the part in the first movie where we meet Lancelot, who gets snuffed out a few moments later? I was not expecting them to gut us with Character Death so early on.

I AM SERIOUS OKAY MAJOR SPOILERS.

Roxy and the rest of the Kingsman agents, including the newest Arthur, are all blown up. Due to a meet-the-royal-parents dinner, Eggsy was away from home (Eggsy’s home is HARRY’S HOUSE!! THE FANDOM CALLED IT). His buddy was dog-sitting JB at the time. Guys, JB is dead.

One, I refuse to believe Roxy got blown up. Even if it was impossible that she’d survived that explosion *sobs*. Two, why would you kill JB???

We then meet the Statesmen agents and are suitably impressed. Also, Tequila (Channing Tatum’s character) made me fantasize a lot about future one or two (or twenty) size kink fics of him and Eggsy. Tequila is also barely in this movie, and is mostly there for laughs. Prince Obe--I mean--Whiskey (Pedro Pascal) is so sexy, in spite of his American accent. Ginger Ale (Halle Barry) was adorable.

MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH:

F*ck man, cried like a baby. I know things are not always as they seem, and characters we think died can always have been miraculously saved. (Harry, Charlie, etc.)

But, fuck it, Merlin was never supposed to die.

You read that right. He dies in the most bad-ass, self-sacrificing way, while also showing off his vocal range.

II.      The Story & Themes

There were scenes that were pretty Dark, especially near the end where Eggsy kills Charlie. Most of these scenes are slathered in an attempt at comedy and light-heartedness which was mostly hit and miss.

There are also two main villains in this movie. The first one is Poppy (Julianne Moore), an eccentric Drug Lady. All you need to know is that she’s crazy. Delightful. But crazy. I’m sure someone in the fandom’s gonna write a really in depth character study on her, but this isn’t it. She supplies drugs all around the world, wants drugs to be legal, holds her user base hostage to get what she wants.

The second villain was pretty much POTUS. You have to understand, this movie is more blunt force trauma than subtle hits. The themes hit you in the head and don’t even try to cover up what they’re doing. (not to mention the characters barely use their codenames. I mean, the Statesmen do. It’s just Harry, Eggsy, and Merlin, screaming each other’s actual names. And not in the good way)

POTUS couldn’t care less for the hostages, mostly because these hostages are drug users, and thus, don’t deserve humane treatment and have no right to life. Just watch the movie.

I’m a Filipino and our citizens are being murdered in droves in the name of the ‘war on drugs’. It struck a chord. What with President Duterte still remaining popular in the public’s opinion. His supports are many. And crazy. While the movie gets a happy ending (Poppy dies, and POTUS gets impeached), I doubt countries with similar problems will get the same happy ending.

III.      The Ending

While I appreciate getting to see Prince!Eggsy (or close enough as we’ll ever get in canon- Prince Consort) come to life in the big screen as compared to just imagining him while I read Hartwin Prince!/Royal!Eggsy; and while I also definitely appreciate Eggsy and Harry sharing a moment in the dressing room, I did not, and was left with a pretty wtf feeling at the ending.

Eggsy marries Princess Tilde in a fairytale ending.

Eggsy looked dashing and Tilde was beautiful. It was just wholly unexpected.

___________

Final thoughts: I didn’t love the movie for itself. I loved the movie for the characters and the fandom it represented. It was a bit sad that it hadn’t exceeded the first movie in greatness (IMO), but I was happy enough to get anything to give fandom more material to work with.

[renegade-castiel]

OKAY, ya girl is back for a part 2! Even though I’m sure none of y’all care about what I have to say lmfao

2x05 - The Jedi: 

OMG Ashoka Tano!!! I’ve been waiting for this one, turn it up! But in all seriousness, it was so fucking cool to fiiiiinally get to see a Jedi after an entire season and a half and Ashoka is so damn cool. Also all of the scenes with Din & baby yoda have be crying in the club... fave space dad & son 🥺 “he has formed a strong attachment to you” i am screaming thank you

2x06 - The Tragedy: 

BOBA FETT!!!! holy fucking shit am I happy to see him!!! when he gets his full armor back he goes straight into BAMF!mode and I am absolutely obsessed with it. BUT, obviously, I cried when the dark troopers took baby yoda and Din didn’t make it back in time. I do think it’s really cool that Fett refused to leave until they got baby yoda back like... how wholesome.

2x07 - The Believer: 

I’m SO happy that Cara Dune came back in this ep... even tho I’m less happy about the fact that she became a New Republic Marshall. Boba Fett got a new paint job, hell to the yeah! MANDO TAKES HIS HELMET OFF IN FRONT OF PEOPLE I ALMOST CRIED!!! I’m so glad we got to see that sexy sexy man but also I kept saying “alright it’s done your face is scanned put it back on pls!!!!” but I just saw a tiktok that was laughing about the faces he makes with his helmet off and how this was legitimately the first time he had to interact with people without his helmet and its SO TRUE. like Mando has had his helmet on in front of people his entire life!!! So he doesn’t really know how to interact with people on his own which is why he seems so awkward. BUT, his love for baby yoda surpassed his creed as a mandalorian which is fucking!! saying!! something!!

2x08 - The Rescue: 

Once again, Boba Fett being a BAMF (I literally cannot wait for his own show). Still don’t trust Bo-Katan but she doesn’t really do anything too crazy in this ep. Those dark stormtroopers are no fucking joke dude! And then the fight scene with Mando & his beskar spear vs. Moff Gideon and the ~dark saber~ is so fucking cool... then we get LUKE!!! like CGI BABY LUKE!!! and R2!!!!! I knew it was going to be Luke but i thought it was gonna be like Episodes 7-9 aged Luke and so when I saw baby luke i fully screamed i was so excited. And then Din giving permission to baby yoda to go with Luke and taking!! his!! helmet!! off!! to say goodbye!!!!!!!! in front of everyone!!!! and baby yoda touching his face 🥺🥺🥺 & says “I’ll see you soon. I promise. Don’t be afraid” like... THAT’S HIS SON!!!!! THAT’S HIS SON!!! he literally tears up as Luke leaves with baby yoda like.... i love that man. Din Djarin has had more character development in 2 seasons than kylo ren or rey got in a 3 movie arc (fight me on that). I would die for Din Djarin and Pedro Pascal.

Oooookayyyy, that was a lot! I am still processing everything and probably will be for like a week! Not sure how I’m going to pass the time until 2022 since s3 apparently got pushed back :(( I guess I’m just gonna have to watch every show/movie Pedro Pascal is in & then watch Boba Fett’s show when it comes out. hmmmmmmmm...... n e ways, as always, feel free to come talk to me about the mandalorian or any star wars movie! my ask box & messages are always open!

(also I know his name is Grogu but I’m electing to ignore that bc its dumb and I like baby yoda better)

finally catching up on the mandalorian... only got to s2ep4 tonight, hoping to finish the rest tomorrow. my friend even got me a crocheted baby yoda for christmas and i’m crying he’s so cute!!! **SPOILERS BELOW PICTURE**

Anyways, I figured that I would say my thoughts on each episode i’ve already seen & post the rest as I watch... if you don’t care about this feel free to scroll I won’t mind :)

2x01 - The Marshall:

Okay, first things first... Timothy Olyphant is a dilf!!! or whatever you call a hot older man w/ the salt n pepper hair like... ~swoon~. I love the fact that they are including references to the movies!! like how this ep is focused on Tattooine. The krayt dragon is cool as fuck & offered just the right amount of suspense.

2x02 - The Passenger:

Okay... holy fucking shit this episode was hard to watch. I hate bugs as a whole but I am absolutely ~terrified~ of spiders. I thought about crying I was so uncomfortable/freaked out watching all of those spiders break free & chase Mando. However, I love frog lady. I feel so bad for her that baby yoda was eating her eggs but she got to be reunited with her husband! That reunion scene rivals any human romantic reunions like... those cute lil frogs are so in love it makes me want to cry. OH, also!!!! the scene when mando sits down to get some rest and baby yoda climbs like halfway up onto him and lays down is so precious I could cry

2x03 - The Heiress:

At first, I absolutely did not trust these other mandalorians. Their entrance was pretty badass, helping save Mando & the child from whatever that sea creature was. Them removing their helmets really threw me off... I didn’t (& still don’t) know much about Mandalorians. I am a casual star wars fan (for the most part) and the only mandalorians I really knew of were the Fetts, but I didn’t know any part of their backstory. Upon googling, I trust Bo-Katan a little bit more but I still think she is sketchy... I am also hoping that learning some mandalorians take their helmets off will convince Din to take his off (so I can see Pedro Pascal’s face that man is *chef’s kiss*). Also... first mention of Ashoka (!!!!!) & the frog couple hatched a frog baby!!

2x04 - The Seige:

Cara Dune is back, baby!! I love this woman... I want her to get a girlfriend so bad & maybe a show of her own (or just more screen time). I don’t know that I really trust Greef Karga but I don’t think Cara would let him do anything sketchy. The scene with baby yoda in the school is so cute omg... who knew the child loved macaroons?? The whole empire base plot line was interesting but I get tired of having to deal with the empire 24/7. shoutout to both cara’s killer driving & mando’s jet pack for getting him to his ship in time to take down those tie fighters. also nothing will top baby yoda putting his arms in the air like he’s on a rollercoaster as mando is dropping his ship down... unparalleled cuteness.

OKAY, if you made it this far, thank you for listening to my rambling thoughts!! I hope you enjoyed & be sure to look out for my thoughts on the second half of the season! Also, feel free to come talk to me about the mandalorian at any time! my asks & messages are both open :)
