#it's all din okay

[moonlight-prose]

i'm not responsible for how filthy chapter two of never break the chain is.

[shirozora-draws]

Part 1 of "dinluke + kisses ruined my workflow". Part 2 is in the far future because I am writing two fics, I don't have the time to map out and draw a 1-page silent comic. I am also still rusty as hell so maybe work on drawing a bit more before attempting another comic? Maybe????

Inspired by me losing my mind over an ask for an ask game. Huge shoutout to @violets-and-mints-reblogs for derailing the last hours of my workday. I really needed that break from writing.

I wish I had pushed the angle on this one a little more to match what I'd imagined for this scene from the end of chapter 14 of Mand'alor Cabur by @nautilicious but at this point stubborness has kicked in and I've dug in my heals so this is what I'm working with! In other news I've picked my birthday project for this year, and in my post-vacation optimism I see a chance to get this at least to a lines-and-flats (and maybe even some lighting???) stage by the end of next week, which would be very great for me! That is if the green background doesn't completely sabotage me in the process...

"oh it's great to have a community of writers so u can ask each other about different experiences!" "oh it's so nice being able to get an info dump on someone's interests that winds up helping ur writing!" "we can help support and encourage each other to keep going!" yes yes all this, love connecting with my fellow writers.

aLSO THOUGH having my allo friends help me figure out if I'm being too cringe in trying to describe a character as hot. Always forget how aroace I am until I got a character pov that is NOT and suddenly all understanding of *attraction*

Actually can’t get over the fact that teal (or bluish-green) is supposed to mean “peace” to Mandalorians… and Sorgan was the most teal drenched place Din and Grogu ever visited… you can hear the poem, right?

[jupio]

grogu is going to be bouncing off the walls with the amount of sweets cobb’s gonna buy for him

a bit late, but happy holidays! especially to @exx-bee , who this piece is for >:)

Armorer: Bo-Katan Kryze you are redeemed and accepted into our covert.

Bo-Katan: But I didn’t swear your creed.

Armorer: I know. But you have still given us a boon and helped one of ours. You don’t have to swear it, but you’re welcomed here.

Two episodes later

Armorer: Bo-Katan. Remove your helmet.

Bo-Katan: Um??

Armorer: You can walk both ways to reunite our people and bring them back to follow all paths together.

Bo-Katan: lol that’s a terrifying request thanks.

‘Fans’: Why did Bo get to take her helmet off but Din is apostate if he does??

Me: bitch did you not just hear them??? He swore the creed and she didn’t. Armorer is trying to use loopholes to keep Bo without forcing her to swear so they can join everyone. She. Didn’t. Swear. Their. Creed.

Every year with every new season, all the chatter about whether Pedro will be on set for The Mandalorian or not returns. The only season this wasn't a problem for was season 2, and still, a rumor about him being a "behind-the-scenes diva" still caused gossip to fly around.

Trust me, it happens every time, and every time it's proven wrong. Pedro shows he's just as committed to the role, that he loves it just as much, and that sometimes it's simply a matter of what they work out for the scheduling or for the sake of his own physical body.

It's totally okay to be upset about Pedro not being in the suit that much, all feelings about it are valid, of course! It definitely adds a charm that was evident in many season 2 scenes. Din, however, has so far been someone else in the suit probably 75% of the time - and that's the Din we continue to know and love to this day, too. Thus, the story and character wouldn't be impacted by Pedro's absence alone.

For some reason, it seems people want to specifically discredit Pedro's contribution to the role, but that doesn't make sense. It's the same as Darth Vader has been ever since the beginning, but Pedro's been given an even more active role in it. Even for Vader's return in Obi-Wan Kenobi, Hayden wasn't the one in the suit for every single scene. Katee also spoke about how Bo-Katan isn't always her, too. The same goes for Din and Pedro.

Season 3 didn't feel the same because it was a darker tone, and it focused on more than just Din and Grogu. It had a lot to accomplish, and in doing so, it had to sacrifice some of the things that are most beloved about the series. You can agree with that decision and love it, or you can not agree and consider season 3 a miss. Either way, it wasn't any of the actors' faults, as season 1 proved that Din Djarin is just fine without Pedro physically there at all times.

Din Djarin has been a three-person team since the beginning. The things these actors can control about Din's character will be just fine in their hands. The blame for the way a story goes, as was the case in season 3, doesn't deserve to go to any of them.

It's hard to drown out the noise about this situation for every season, and trust me, I've been in this fandom long enough to know that - but a lot of what's said about Pedro seems to be, for some odd reason, many people wanting him to fail, and he won't.

what i like about the din djarin/tusken comradery is that they come from cultures where showing faces is taboo. and they respect each other greatly. and also i do believe din djarin has hearing loss so the signed language is helpful. also the fact that din djarin decided to learn their spoken language too... despite the havoc that's gotta cause his vocal folds. and they are all proud warrior peoples. And they don't show skin.

idk this is so basic of an analysis and i put 0 thought into it but i do just. i enjoy it. mandalorians and their tusken besties <3

The Mandalorian switched from writing a story following the arc of Ice Age (2002) to writing a story following the arc of Shazam (2019) in-between seasons 2 and 3, and this is why a perfectly satisfying ending to a two season miniseries got ruined.

i wanna live in the world where marvel movies actually adapted the most bizarre psychosexual plotlines from the comics. i want to live in the world where the first wolverine movie was old man logan.

I can’t remember which panel it was, maybe Star Wars Celebration 2022? But there was a Q&A and someone asked Pedro “are we gonna see Din ride a Mythosaur??” And Pedro had to dodge the question cause Jon was giving him a pointed look. At the time we all thought it was because it was potential spoilers for that happening, now we know it’s because they knew both Din and the Mythosaur weren’t gonna do shit the entire season 😂😂 They really were just out here trying to survive the hype they couldn’t deliver on.

“Hello then, to an Upright cousin.” The child (...) grabs his jacket boldly, pointing back to the door through which Mird brought it. “Is what you seek through there?” “Eh,” it grunts in frustration, waving even more vigorously through the door.

Just a cleaned up sketch WIP for now, because I don't deal too well with green stuff, and this one would require quite a bit - but I'd been itching to take a crack at this scene for a while now, so here I am! I'm willing to trade this drawing (made for the "fantasy" square of my @bobadinweek AU bingo card, because fae children count there, right?) for the other one made for this very same story on the technicality that Jaster actually very much lives in this one. Technically speaking. I tried my best!

mando stan behavior is so cringeworthy like god forbid we give any credit to mando's stunt doubles or acknowledge their contributions of being on set, especially when stand in actors and stunt doubles are often overlooked. everything has to be about pedro and if the stunt actors happen to acknowledge one another on social media that's perceived as them leaving out pedro or some nonsense. had to block those unhinged posts, these people are too much.

no it’s absolutely ridiculous and especially taking it as a slight against pedro when he himself has credited them for doing a lot of the on-set work! honestly ive really loved how the mando cast/crew acknowledges the body actors and stunt doubles when that is so frequently something productions try to cover up and give all the credit to their big name. to act like people giving them credit without also heaping praise on pedro every time is some kind of slight is crazy to me.

it’s also delusional how much they fight against the idea that pedro hasn’t been on set much, especially in this last season, when everyone affirms thats the case. almost every time katee talks about stuff happening behind the scenes she says brendan, because that’s who she worked with the most! it’s not a conspiracy against pedro (bc why would they do that???) its just a fact that most of the on-set work is no longer done by him- and that’s fine! james earl jones and david prowse did vader that way, and both deserve credit for how his voice and body language came together to create the character. i think we should accept that din djarin has never been a character embodied by one actor in a way a lot of others are, and there’s nothing wrong with that.

all that fucking commotion and hype for the darksaber, only for moff gideon to crush it like a soda can.
