Hello! 👋🏽 So sorry to bother you, but I love your idea of a Mandalorian reader tagging along with the Bad Batch! Best crossover ever!! 🙌

Also your artwork is great! Keep up the good work! 👍🏽

ANON!! I am running towards at you at full speed to give you a Keldabe kiss!!! First of all - I love you - so jot that down. SECOND, omg you are not a bother at all I’m so glad you like it as a concept because I’ve been rotating TBB x Mando!reader in my brain endlessly and I seriously wish I was a better writer because there’s not a lot of writing out there for it (as far as I know!!). It’s an untapped content mine in my opinion haha!

One of my favorite tropes is people who initially think they don’t have much in common, and who are really reluctant to work together - finding out they have heaps in common and becoming like family 🥹🥹

I am also so soft for clones being connected (or reconnected I suppose) with Mandalorian cultural concepts like speaking the language, “name and soul”, found family dynamics… the list goes on forever!! This is me every time there is a crumb of mando spirituality associated with the GAR:

X reader content is sooo much fun and indulgent and I think that having a mando as a stand-in for the audience is pretty cool in that the “blank-slateness” is sort of built in- regarding physical descriptions. With beskar’gam and all - it covers all the bases and is really inclusive!!

And from a Mandalorian cultural standpoint I really believe that even the most jaded (traditionally-minded) Mandalorian would be so impressed with the way TBB operates ahhhh - definitely an “ok they are a part of my family now, no takesies-backsies” moment 😭😭

Somewhat related I also have an agenda to get kih’ka Omega a kit of beskar armor bc she deserves it 🫡🫡
