#i think many born mandalorians would do some weird shit habitually and not think about it!

I love that we get canon mandalorian cultural background that says mando'ade come from a huge range of different species but there's just not that much speculation about how that impacts mandalorian culture

Mando families 'scent marking' to show affection even though the last person with functional scent glads was three generations back!

Mando'ade who have different kinds of prey drives being organized into different units that let them lean into those instincts in a way that is productive to the whole group!

Communities of mando'ade who still practice the culture from their home worlds alongside being or becoming mandalorian!

Mando'a with broadly recognized adaptations and dialects tailored to specific kinds of vocal apparatuses! hell, give me mando'a where the human-friendly version is technically "incorrect" because humans can't make a vital sound in the "official" language!

Specialists who focus on interspecies adoptions and hybrid health and mixed species genomics, because if you're prioritizing the wellbeing of children you need to make sure they're cared for and considered appropriately!

Just, mando'ad culture not as something welcoming of people without regards to species and background, but mando'ad culture that embraces the vibrant diversity within the manda and not only permits outsiders to join, but changes itself for the inclusion of new and different elements into its cultures and communities
