#my mando stuff

Combining the full body helm and ear protectors produces a Grogu that is not only yeetable, but can be used as a blunt weapon

ok, so i know we’re all going feral over the honda fight scene was a fuck scene and I agree, that shit is loaded with subtext and it’s on purpose.

however 

let’s not lose sight of really juicy character stuff going on here

so, in terms of movie/plot this is obviously the Low Point that has to happen so the heroes can pick themselves up again and eventually win, screenwriting 101, etc. simple.

yes, they’re beating each other up in spectacularly entertaining big-budget-movie fashion. and yes, the homoeroticism is very much there (and played for laughs to avoid alienating the predominantly cishet white dudebro audience, though i find it very enjoyable regardless)

BUT. 

this moment is Worst!Wolverine’s new rock bottom

Logan allowed himself the absurdity of hope that they could get out of this and that he can fix things, that he can undo what he did, he can save the people who he “allowed” to be massacred. (the exact circumstances are left intentionally vague, and i think we’re supposed to understand that he is very possibly less at fault than he considers himself to be and he’s punishing himself more than he needs to. he’s always been good at torturing himself. i like that it’s vague and we only have his unreliable account and the ghosts we hear in his head via cassandra.)

that hope has been dashed and with the most insultingly silly turn of phrase too, “an educated wish.” and now he’s angry. he has to punish himself for allowing himself that hope, and punish the person responsible for putting the idea in his head. there’s no hole to crawl into, no bar where he can drink himself to death. there’s no way for him to turn his anger and disgust inward and go back to rotting away.

that anger needs an outlet. 

his self-hatred is unkillable, what better outlet than beating the ever loving fuck out of a man who is also unkillable. an eternally-regenerating punching bag for his eternal rage and grief. 

and somewhere in the middle of that fight (cough cough that grin as he's pinned beneath wade and blood splatters across his mouth), he's fucking enjoying it. he leans into that rage and grief and along the way, comes alive. he hasn't had a fight like this in years, absolutely feral and filthy, blood and blades and equally matched in his total inability to just fucking die already.

getting so fucking angry that his grief is overridden by rage, and through that unrestrained rage, coming alive again????

that shit is tasty as hell, and i don’t want to forget about it amidst the spectacle of the rest of the scene

echo as a Mando from a self-indulgent au <3

[marstrait]

force user x mandalorian is the superior trope.

Finally taking advantage of some downtime to get around to watching the mandalorian, and can I just say, I am HERE for din and his absolutely hilarious vibe that oscillates wildly between "tooka caught in headlights" and "every bit of scum from here to the outer rim's most favourite punching bag" at any given moment.

Inspired by this absolutely iconic shot of boba that I thought suited din FAR too well to simply pass up:

Sometimes the kiddo has nightmares. Luckily his family is there to help out

Commission for @freshmiraclecheesecake! They wanted more Mando AU, so here we are :]

Mando!141 AU HCs Before I Start Writing

> crossposted from @charliemwrites ‘ lovely server

Soap is your typical mando. Fully customized kit, wanton usage of explosives, constantly cursing up a storm. Frequently on fire. His kit has been modified to allow for more motion with a flex breastplate and braces on the vambraces to allow for him to elbow a bitch. Armor colors are orange and green - a lust for life and duty. His beskar is inherited from a long line of ancestors, and he takes exceptionally good care of it. Concord Dawn prior to glassing.

Gaz is a bit more 'passing' as non-mando. Wears the breastplate, gauntlets, boots, typically tends to have his bucket off but whether that's because he can win more people over with his smile than his blaster is his own little secret. Coruscanti accent, quick with his blaster but can also wield vibroblades pretty adequately. BIG on the jetpacks. blue and green armor - reliability and duty. Got his kit from his great uncle when he retired and Gaz was, like, 14.

Ghost doesn't take his bucket off. Ever. At some point manages to get the darksaber - does not hold on to it. Dry, pops jokes every so often but otherwise kind of looms, speaks almost entirely in mando'a to his vod and it sounds real intimidating but if u understand what he's saying it's just like. the fucking tank joke. black and white armor - justice and fresh starts to commemorate his new life serving as a bounty hunter maybe? Full kit akin to ARC troopers in the clone wars with a big dark cloak thrown over top because he's dramatic. Has cobbled together the beskar over the years, didn't start out with a full kit but quickly earned it beating the shit out of scumbag mandos.

Price tends to have his bucket off about as much as he has it on - 50/50 split, mostly because it's easier to pretend he's not exasperated when he has his bucket on and his vocoder going. Green, light green and brown - duty, a desire for peace, and valor. Earned his beskar piece by piece. Directs his vod in mando'a because not a lot of people speak it which gives them a tactical advantage, but won't do it when they're not in the field like Soap or Ghost will because he considers it kind of rude.

the mando fandom is so dead it's genuinely saddening to see. season 3 really got us all turned off. i barely see any mando content on my dash anymore, and that's like- the whole reason why i started the blog in the first place. honestly depressing and disturbing

[andysgallerys]

Some stuff....

[holmes-ja]

I give you...the Mermandalorian.

The last thing I expected to be doing when I started watching the 3rd season of the mandalorian was ship DinBo but here we are

Jedi padawan besties (they're studying btw)

My baby girl Alema again, this time before she became a mando.

Lore dump + extra sketches under the cut :)))))))

Putting this in dotpoints so that i have some semblance of order

Alema was raised in the jedi temple

she wanted to become a temple guard and wielded a double sided lightsaber

Zif (the zabrak in the first image) was her best friend

she and her creche mates had a tooka called Lutal

became a padawan at age 13, shortly before order 66 and the end of the war

was on a mission in the outer rim with her master and their troops when order 66 happened

her and one of the clone medics (whose chip malfunctioned) managed to escape via escape pod

they crash landed on an uninhabited planet

where they met my other, yet to be introduced mandos

I have so much more for her and the rest of the gang but i'm gonna call it a night for now, will probably post more about her tmrw.

As much as Star Wars is half civics lessons, it’s other half is *fairy tale*. And knightly tales in and of themselves are lessons in both civics and morality. I think Mandalorians have a culture that inherently leads to the development of a king stick, glowing or not, and yes, it would have been interesting to see what the Mandalorians and their culture made of getting rid of the glowy king stick, but a) would they do that though and b) that’s not what happened???

We come back to the ouroborous issue. The Mandalorian refutes itself. The Darksaber is no longer a symbol of prophetic draw with the potential of uniting a people, it’s a trinket. The one who coveted it so fervently proclaims it so ——so like??? That somehow leads *again* to this issue of having a sum of nothing. The Mandalorian Darksaber and Mandalorian armor means nothing, but it’s exactly what was hunted for and why Mandalorians were destroyed. Like. What. Why
