Chris Evans, Mask Off
I was scrolling earlier when I came upon a post by someone who is feeling very betrayed by Chris Evans right now. The post was about how stupid they felt that Chris Evans was not the man he had pretended to be, that recent events had proven he was a PR fabrication and they felt like a fool for falling for it. I went looking for the source of this pain, trying to figure out what Evans had done to be denounced as a fraud and a liar. I admit, I was surprised when I figured out it was his recent marriage.
Now, I'm not linking back to the post or reblogging it because I'm not interested in calling anyone out or making them feel bad for feeling bad. If you're feeling betrayed by the news that Chris Evans married someone much younger than himself, I'm not going to assume it's simply because you're mad it wasn't you. I believe that plenty of people feel that the age gap between Chris Evans and Alba Baptista is problematic and indicative that he is not the woke king he purported to be. But I would like to offer a different perspective.
My parents had a twenty-two year age gap. When they met, my father was 48 and my mother was 26. Plenty of people looked askance at the age gap between them, wondered why in the hell either of them would want to be with the other. But they were madly in love and happily married until he died twenty years later. And she never remarried, said until the day she died that she just couldn't find anyone who could follow my dad. So age gaps don't weird me out unless one of the people in the relationship is clearly being exploited. For example, hanging around a teenager until she's legally old enough to date. Two adults meeting, falling in love, and getting married doesn't set me off even if there's what others think of as a problematic age gap. I've seen firsthand that it depends on the people in the relationship.
None of us in this fandom know him, or his new wife. None of us know what their dynamic is and we cannot infer that she is being exploited based solely on the fact that she is sixteen years his junior. (I promise you, despite the 22 year difference, my dad was not in charge of my mom.) We only know his public persona, the carefully polished version of himself that he shows to the world for marketing purposes. Chris Evans' persona is very appealing, but it is curated, as is everyone's, really. We all put the good stuff on social media and hope no one puts our bad stuff on theirs.
My point, I suppose, is that having any real opinion on Chris Evans' personal life is evidence of a parasocial relationship that you might want to reevaluate. There is no good to be found in valorizing celebrities; they're just screwed up humans like the rest of us and will always ultimately disappoint you. Also, just because we may find the actions and behaviors of others uncomfortable or problematic, doesn't mean they've actually done anything wrong. He's not a paragon and never has been. He's a celebrity living his life and unless he's hurting anyone, what he does is really none of our business.

🔥 Louie Duck's character arch?
Send Me a 🔥+ a Topic, and I’ll Tell You My Honest Opinion About It
It coulda been so much better. It was shaky at best a lot of the time.
We've all heard me yell about the grounding. How it was badly enforced, how the circumstances were fucky, etc. You can look back on the ducktales analysis tag and hear me caterwaul, so I'll avoid that part of the topic.
The point of Louie's arc is that he's supposed to learn that family is more important than money. But Louie?? Fucking knew that??? One of his core, key season 1 lines is "You kept a secret about mom. That is not okay." He sobs when his brothers fight. He got Gavin out of his house for free, and did it in a way that kept Huey and Dewey happy. Louie cares about his family. He's never once put money before his family. He usually puts them side by side, before giving up the gold to get away.
They give no reason for Louie's greediness and that makes it feel more difficult to work around. Is it a casual, playful want bc he likes toys? Is it a deep, consuming need because he grew up in a household that didn't always have the lights on and food was hotdogs thrice a week? It's never stated. We can't be sure of how deep the problem lies and where the boundaries should start. He's just supposed to know it's Bad and Give it Up and Move On. Louie's ten. Ten year olds don't want monetary safety for no reason. The kid needs therapy, and comfort, and to be weaned off that stuff. Going cold turkey is a great way to give him anxiety.
And move on to what, exactly? No one tries to give him any outlets to work on. He doesn't like adventures like the rest of his family. Dewey gets Launchpad and flying and Huey gets Boyd and helping Gizmoduck. Louie gets Goldie and Louie Inc, which is then closed. He gets Goldie, but Goldie is transient and isn't around often. His only friend is literally an old lady who steals from him. His only time working is Louie Inc, which is taken from him.
The closest thing to working outside a con he's allowed is when he calls Della out. So... what? His job is to keep his family honest? Why not give him a job, a place to start, a goal to work for? Instead it's No, Bad Louie, you should know better somehow. He has no options, he has no friends, and he has no outlet for his need for financial gain.

"Manda do you have any writing advice?"
Write what you want to read. Please. There is genuinely nothing I have discovered more the past half a year as I've been writing this Stupid Fucking Multiple Novel Length Fic than the fact that it is So fucking rewarding. It's Fun and it's Great and you become So giddy about it because it's Exactly what you want and it's Exactly what you love and You Can Read It because it Actually Exists. The fact that You're the one making it (and therefore having it cathered Exactly to your every taste) is just a bonus <3
#Please write what you want to read#If not for everyone else#Do it for you#There might not be anything that's as rewarding as this#For the Record I think writing advice at large is kind of silly and stupid#because most of it is just stylistic advice in disguise and stylistics is the One thing that is just purely up to preference#But this one thing I wholeheartedly believe#This is the Only advice I will legit ever give someone head on#Everything else will require a whole Manda Rant trademark and a lot of context and this or that'ing

Ulysses by @girlbookwrm
Ok so my next chaparral_crown bind is pending bookboard for a cutout design, so that's on the back burner till bookboard arrives! Did this in the interim, since I've leapt onto the 00q train pretty hard! They're my new favourite ship and I love the fic dynamics!
Statistics:
89,065 words || 294 pages
Chapter titling: Brigmore Thin
Body text: Liberation Serif
Accents: Petrona
My initial plans for this bind was to do a ship-shaped cutout from chiyogami paper - to which my cricut blade said f-no and proceeded to shred my very precious paper. So back to the drawing board and to the tried and tested method of HTV I went.
Boy, did I have trouble with colour for this bind - I am ridiculously bad at colour, my friends, I am one of those people who can maybe match 2 colours but ask me to pick a contrasting one to match and I'll go fjrbdidsmfbejsnbxks how does one do such sorcery. Again, Manda my sounding board who is excellent at colour matching contrasting colours had to listen to 3 different separate colour rants/panic attacks, not that I actually listened to them because I am an absolute wuss when it comes to colour.
Ugh I had so much fun with the typesetting. I actually found this font - Brigmore Thin, which the background decor for the font was London Bridge and I went yup, that's the font I want. As per the fic, I included parts of the Ulysses poem by Tennyson, which corresponded to chapter titles.
The main cover title page is less striking then I had wanted - curse my lack of colour printing and inability to colour the middle of the target sight red.
Also did my best to include a black and white spread of that image of the meet infront of The Fighting Temeraire. Absolutely iconic. My printer wasn't very up to it, but it tried.
Anyway, so- endbands!!! I had a good time making them, this is my first attempt that isn't a trial book, and I have fallen in love with capricious capricious silk. It just looks so good, even though it's slippery as hell.
I took two tries at this textblock because I overtrimmed the first one. Still thinking of what to do with it- it's actually fine, and readable, the page numbers still exist but it's just got such a thin margin I went eugh no and had to make a second copy.
Despite my general anxiety regarding this bind, it didn't turn out too badly.
I'm starting to prep for binderary so I'm overwhelmingly excited about that. My goal is officially 3-4 in February but I've planned for 6-7. Unsure if it will happen but I'm hopeful as I do have some leave then.

Ignorance is Bliss
Steve liked to pretend the Upside Down never happened, that he was a regular teen boy with regular teen issues. He didn’t like to focus on the new scars marring his skin, the ones with the questionable origins that he’d never be able to explain. The way he saw it, his nightmares and anxiety during the day focused on the past enough. So, he moved on as much as possible. He bottled everything up and acted like he was fine. He acted as a listening board for his friends to vent and kept his own problems under lock and key. It worked as much as one would expect and he was fine.
But moving on caused its own problems. His friends started getting more distant with him and leaning on each other because how would Steve understand what they were going through if he moved on so quickly? Things only got worse on his own. His nightmares bled into the day, his fears kept him locked away, and his insecurities started to overwhelm him in the Party’s absence.
That’s where Eddie and Robin came in. They forced Steve to accept the past, to talk about his feelings, and to drop the armored facade that held him captive. It took many tears, several hugs, and more than a few of Robin’s rants to get through to him. But eventually, Steve opened himself up to vulnerabilities and couldn’t fathom how he’d survived in the past without doing so.
Things were so much better with open communication. Gone were the lonesome days of concealing his emotions and existing as a broken shell of trauma. He could feel what he went through without being weak and he’d never felt so… content. Happy. He had Robin by his side as his best friend and platonic soulmate. He had Eddie as his boyfriend once he found the guts to make a move. And once the Party spent some time with the new and improved communicative Steve Harrington, he had his friends back too. He wasn’t as collected as they thought he was and as soon as they saw how it had affected him, they crawled back with sorries on their lips and understanding in the air.
The Upside Down came with a lot of bad but it brought some good with it too. It bulldozed into their lives with trauma and pain and public persecution. It tore the Party apart and they had to fight to stay together. But it gave Steve a best friend, a boyfriend, and a family. It brought the Party together and made them a family, dysfunctional as it was.

Hello!! I was busy yesterday but if you're volunteering I will absolutely scream about phanfic with you! So, MAJOR SPOILER WARNING for the fic I wake up to your dream report by The_Blonde!! For whoever reads this lol. Anyway! I loved this fic so much but i have to say the ending threw me for a loop!! I'm specifically talking about how phil choses to save the 1920s dream. I really feel conficted about that decision, but ESPECIALLY SO after phil tells dan that he smashed all the mirrors, which we later find was a lie :00 it feels wierd that he would keep that from dan, and almost a little shady lmao?? i feel like it's strange that phil chose to keep the dream, bc wasn't it kind of established that the dream versions of dan are different than the real dan? So, if phil loves the real dan, why the need to keep the 1920s version too? Yk what I mean? Idek what I mean tbh lol but!! Thank you for hearing out my rant :)))
Hi, Manda!! Yessssssss omg this fic. You brought it up and then I kinda spiraled and no joke started writing a fic last night on the fly inspired by the concept (TTPD and this fic possessed me and now I have yet another project for a fandom that isn’t even *the phandom* that won’t let me rest. Help.)
I honestly have to go back and read it to formulate a real opinion about the 1920s detail!! Hard agree that it’s kinda shady to keep that a secret from real Dan bc if you think about it, that’s the one that should matter most? But the development of each and every one of the dreams was so well-crafted it astounded me back then and now that I’ve recently read it in full.
On the topic of fics, do you have any others that you’ve read lately that you’d rec? This lil rant was so fun, thanks for sharing 🥰

From learning a Sci-Fi script to picking up a Con-Lang (or, a very long very nerdy Star Wars rant)
I need to rant at this to the void, and this blog is my go-to for these things. I feel free to do so since no-one comes here anyways.
A bit of background
(or, the part you can skip if you want to get to the nerdy rant now): I've been into Star Wars on and off since my teens. I'm nearly 40, so that's a few decades. I do watch the new series, and became very fond of "The Mandalorian" really fast. In-between seasons, my spouse and I also re-watched most of Clone Wars. In early 2024, we started a Star Wars 5E TTRPG campaign with a friend, where my spouse DM's, Friend plays a Jedi, and I play a Mandalorian (and she's just so much FUN to play). My character is one I came up with around... 2017? Maybe? IDK if you can find her if you scroll down far enough. Currently re-designing her, though. I originally came up with her after working my way through the Travis books and becoming fascinated with Mandalorians for some reason.
Accidential Language Acquisition
My latest obsession (and distracion from the summer heat) started with me looking up some Mandalorian phrases and curses for RPG purposes. Yes, I know, none of this is canon any more. None of us cares. We kind of make our own canon. Then I found out there's a script - and I was lost. I loved codes and obscure scripts as a child, and I did learn to read Hiragana in my 20s, so how hard could this be? I looked for a chart and found this site, which offers practice reading (and a dictionary, amongst other stuff). So, I started learning the characters in, I think, late July. I read quite well by now, my writing does lag behind. Juuust... the practice phrases are written in the Mandalorian language.
I didn't set out to learn a constructed language. I really did not. I just wanted to know WHAT I was typing. So I looked up the sentences on the cheat-sheet after I got them right. And some words started repeating, and I picked them up. Kinda automatically. I swear, I only practice reading/ writing this for like 15 to 30 minutes a day. After a while, I half-understood what some sentences said. Reading Star Wars fanfiction did not help (or help a lot, depending on your POV) there. I looked up missing words, building a bit of a vocabulary. It's erratic still, but I noticed something. In conversations, my brain sometimes supplies the Mandalorian words I know now. (I usually do catch myself, although stuff tends to slip in when I'm alone with my spouse, to his amusement.) My language center does not know this is a con-lang, after all. I also tried to write a ransom note in Mandalorian, which was a fun experience (for a private project). Through fan fiction and looking up stuff, I also learned about the Legends version of Mandalorian culture. That stuff is fascinating, although I feel like a visitor to an abandoned city. Everyone's gone (since Legends is out of print and stuff is falling into obscurity), but it's still cool to look around. It gives me a kind of bittersweet, nostalgic feeling, too. So many passionate minds, and things I'm so happy to experience, but wished I knew about sooner. Aay'han, if you will, only it's memories I never made. Nostalgia for what could have been. Not gonna lie, I'm obsessed. It's a feeling I seldom get now, although it was quite frequent when I was a teen. It feels great and enjoyable and unhealthy and I think I need to stop. I'm an adult, and I'm too old to fangirl. Or, at least, I keep telling myself this.
Analyzing a Con-Lang because my nerd brain can't stop looking for patterns
Mandalorian actually HAS different words for the people, the planet, the ruler, and the language. Let me start with Manda, which is the collective soul (or the concept of) of the Mandalorian people. The people themselves are Mando'ade (Children of the Manda/ of Mandalore. Singular Mando'ad). The language is Mando'a (no clue why, language would be joha. Maybe Mando'joha was too long and it got shortened). The planet is Manda'yaim (yaim meaning home. Simple enough). The ruler is the Mand'alor (alor meaning, well, leader. Also simple).
Before long, my brain started making connections between some things. Simple things first - "Ke" or "K' " at the start of a sentence is always the imperative form of something ("Command form"). The words for "you", "I", and the third person pronoun. Then, between words, trying to fit new words with what I already know. Like [something] ad was most likely about people. I built myself bridges that are just theories - I am not a linguist in any fashion, and I'm just trying to make sense of what's there. Like mirsh meaning brain(cell), kot meaning strenght, and mirshko is courage - so, "brain-strength"?
And no, for all of you out there that are as nerdy as me, this is not a full language. There isn't a word for "call" or "get in contact with" I could find, for example. Some authors just wanted to add flair to their writing, so an incomplete thing is what we have. Even so, I am kind of hooked in the weirdest way. I play around, trying to make my own sentences and combined words. It's fun, and private, and nobody needs to know. Except for the two people I TTRPG with.
IDK any more where I wanted to go with this. There might be a part 2, someday. If anyone read this, I appreciate you. If anyone read this and had this weird kind of obsession happen to them as well, let's talk. It might just be the universe's weirdest midlife crisis.

I saw that asshole walking in the door with a sink and I said to myself, "I will not patronize the business of a man that bad at fucking puns." I deleted all of my accounts that day.
I have not yet regretted that decision. As a matter of fact, every decision that shitty-pun-making apartheid beneficiary has made has only served to make me feel good about my ability to spot and avoid a shitshow.

AAAAAAAAAAAAA THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Mm yes, o-rings are a great idea, because – as far as I’ve read about the bone structures of horned mammals – there are nerves in the bones. Nothing as sensitive as there is in muscles and skin and things like that, but there are pain receptors in the roots of the horns of animals like oxen and cows, and not to mention the blood vessels there. Leaving the base of the horns well protected and sealed inside the helmet is a great idea, thanks for the insight.
About the horns being made of beskar, I'm working with a Force lore that Mandalorians who have a strong connection with the Manda and the Ka'ra – which is the Mandalorian version of the Force – are born with mythosaur horns, and that the atomic structure of their horns changes to beskar as they grow up/get stronger. Mm think about elephant tusks, which grow as they age. That's the best example I can think of lol. Oh! I came up with this concept after reading a fic where beskar appears in nature somewhat like oil – the mythosaurs that died naturally over the millennia were covered by the earth, and because they were so big, they ended up becoming mountains, and their bones fossilized into metal because that's alien biology and there's no way the skeleton of a reptile bigger than a Patagotitan mayorum just be calcium and this thing still stands and moves without crushing completely under sheer weight of its own body's mass, what the fucking fuck.
That's illogical titanofauna right here, dammit, and they still say these things were carnivorous! Carnivorous how?!?! Where are the giant herbivores of Mandalore then?!?! If there are fossils of mythosaurs, there have to be fossils of the things they ate! I reaaaally hate it when the source material doesn't take this kind of thing into consideration.
Sorry for the rant at the end lol I have really bad ADHD, so one day I ended up diving into a rabbit hole about Star Wars, dinosaur biology, geology, metallurgy, and fossilization processes while researching to my fanfic lmao
That's exactly the kind of energy we love to see in the fandom!!
I feel the same way about speculative biology and I'd redesign every species in the setting (if lucasfilms paid me for it). Regardless, I love what you've done here, and I hope you'll keep doing more 🤩

💥 I feel like this is a loaded question considering canon right now lmao
💥 What is one canon thing that you wish you could change?
Oh it is loaded as fuck but I already know the answer and it's the one thing that I think could've changed the entire trajectory of The Mandalorian:
Don't reunite Din and Grogu in Boba Fett's fucking show.
The decision to do so because Disney was such chickenshits and Favs didn't want to ruin the successful formula of the first two seasons did, in my not so humble opinion, so much damage to both Din and Grogu as well as the future of the show.
Boba Fett lost the spotlight to them. We spent 1.5 episodes on them and where the fuck was Boba the entire time? Standing in the background in silence for like 10 seconds in one of those episodes. Personally, if you decide your season/show has less than 12 episodes, you have to make them count. And while I appreciate all the Manda-lore in the 5th episode, it should've been slotted into Season 3 of The Mandalorian where that lore actually fucking mattered.
(don't even get me started on how they handled Cobb Vanth and Cad Bane omigod he truly was the precursor to how they wrote Gideon in Season 3 jfc)
Back when I thought The Mandalorian was Din Djarin, I wanted to see him develop as a character without Grogu. What is he like now that his quest is over and he's lost everything except for this stupid Darksaber? How does he cope without Grogu? How does he grow, or does he devolve without Grogu at his side? Episodes 5 and 6 baffled me but the decision to reunite with Grogu in episode 7 felt so fucking wrong. Can you not trust your characters and your audience, Favreau?
Hearing about Grogu's "arc" in Season 3, he really should not have come back in Boba Fett's fucking show. I think he should've spent more time off-screen or in short scenes with Luke and Artoo on Ossus. It's probably the Dinluker in me but I'd have loved to see Luke try to reach out to Din about Grogu, either about his progress or his desire to return to his father.
The decision to have them reunite in Boba Fett's fucking show so that they'd be together at the start of Season 3 just tells me that Favloni wants to play it super safe by not letting Din and Grogu grow as characters separately and then together as a family unit, and it tells me Disney/Lucasfilm is buckling down on "we want to MCU-fy the 'Mandoverse'" and "money, money, money". I get that they're trying to recoup the cost of buying the franchise and trying to make up for their losses with D+, but like, haven't you already done enough fucking damage with the Sequel Trilogy? Are we really doing this again?
Then again, I got fooled twice so I guess I'm the fool. Thank god that Dinluke remains such an insanely compelling ship. This ship is just so good for my soul, Anon.
Oh god I'm so sorry for the rant. I'm sticking a few extra tags on this post so that people can filter this post out if they want to.

spoilery fallout ramblings under the cut
ok so if the credits sequence of episode 8 is to be believed new vegas and the securitron army has fallen at some point between 2281 and 2296, possibly due to the resurgence of the zealot brotherhood of steel led by elder maxson, i would assume after the prydwen's maiden voyage to the boston area in 2287. that sorta tracks bc the canon endings of the games have always sort of leaned more toward the BoS becoming more and more radicalized. the only reason they let in new recruits is bc elder lyons proved it was the only way they were going to get more troops (especially seeing as apparently they aren't giving the sex talk to their boys now? pretty sure the boys in boston knew how to swing a sword if you know what i mean)
if you know anything about the BoS you know that Arthur Maxson is just a pawn in a greater game, he spouts the right rhetoric to suit the council's concerns. i appreciated that homeboy knew that if he set foot back in the BoS he was toast for now being a mutant, but i do wish they'd done a bit more with that. had him come back to help in the final confrontation or something. but like, the ongoing conflict with the NCR suddenly coming to an end with shady sands going kablooey now makes it make a lot of sense how the BoS are so powerful at this stage. they haven't had the one major hindrance to their expansion since then. they've built at least one more airship, probably more. they're probably terrorizing more of the wasteland these days.
people do seem to forget the brotherhood are a techo-religious cult. why else do you think maximus recognized the cult behavior in vault 4 lmao
anyway. that's me rambling. feel free to pester me on discord if you would like more certified manda rants XD
