Kelsier: *solves everything by killing noblemen*

Everyone on Scadrial: If only Kelsier was here, he'd have a great way to solve this problem.

Every nobleman on Roshar when they meet an assassin: I bet Kelsier planned this, it feels like something he'd do.

Crying Yes it's worth it

For every bunch of bad characterizations there is going to be a gem, and I don't mind mining the rocks to get to the diamonds🤲

Stupid little doodles that I made into a sort of comic I guess?

I've been thinking about Jedi Maul for an insane amount of time.

People in the Lower Decks tags are always really vocal about not shipping Mariner/Boimler. Like there are posts about their parallels with Kirk/Spock that feel the need to add a disclaimer that even though they think Kirk/Spock is romantic, don't worry everybody, they think Mariner/Boimler is completely platonic 😇

Like. Do you really think it's a good look for you to LOVE the gay ship but to openly hate on the one that's interracial? Or is it not a race thing? Is it a biphobia thing, and you don't ship them because you think it's somehow less progressive to ship a canonically, openly bisexual female character with a man?

For most people I'm assuming this isn't even a conscious choice, but I'd really like people to examine why their immediate instinct is to absolutely refuse to ship the "straight" pairing (that includes a black bisexual woman and a white man).

I was watching Chapter 15: The Believer yesterday and something stood out to me that I guess I'd never really thought about before...

When the Juggernaut is getting attacked by the Pirates, we see several shots of Din struggling without his armour. It's a new way of fighting for him and he struggles to adapt at first.

He quickly rallies and skilfully fights them off, though. But more pirates soon appear and after fighting them off, Din is thrown backwards. He sees several pirates approaching.

Din lies down in defeat, powerless to fight them off without his armour or weapons. Knowing his death is likely imminent, without hope of survival.

Instead of giving up and accepting defeat, he does not allow himself to wallow in despair and mystery. After sighing deeply he steadies himself and gets right back up:

Facing down death as the pirates approach, he does not show weakness or fear.

He doesn't allow himself to be cowardly, or dwell on his likely impending doom and the fact he has failed in his quest to rescue the child he loves so much...

Instead, Din stands there with his fists up, outnumbered and without weapons, prepared to fight to the end even in the face of certain death...

Fortunately, of course, the TIE Fighters appear to save the day and Din succeeds in his quest to rescue Grogu and, well, you know the rest.

But I think this little moment in one of the best episodes is such a good insight into his character.

Standing up with his fists clenched like that, outnumbered and hopeless but refusing to accept defeat is perhaps one of the most Mandalorian things he's ever done. Yet only a few minutes later he removes his helmet and that act leaves him rendered an apostate in the eyes of his people. Told he is a Mandalorian no more, even.

It's kind of heartbreaking because he really did not deserve to be told that. Mandalorians are proud warriors, who never give up. Being a coward is the worst insult in Mando'a, their ancient language. Here, Din showed that he is nothing of the sort.

Din Djarin is as honourable a Mandalorian as they come.

He didn’t know she had been captured, he was probably pretty sure she was dead. It’s not a new brooch, he’s worn it in other episodes.

Elrond, pal, you just have a lock pick built into your brooch?
