tagged by @unclewaynemunson! Surprisingly, I'm writing some Star Wars stuff rn?? Idk it's just sunk it's teeth back into me. I rewatched Kenobi and was like oh yeah, oh yeah i feel the love for these characters again.
RULES: post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic/ original/ anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence
I'm doing two lines because it flows better that way I think:
His heart cried out for home. Most of his brothers and cousins would likely still be at the reception, but what he needed now was a gentler presence, someone who would let him take care of them.
No pressure tags (and hello to a lot of mutuals I haven't tagged in forever!!!): @meantforinfinitesadness @imperiousphasmid @kckenobi @secretlyatimelady @milf-maul @shukruut @redminibike1 @solipseismic @silverandsunflowers @kaydear @stolen-pen-name23 @calamity-aims @petrichordiam @purgetrooperfox @skeliiix @thelastwalkingsoul @steves-strapcollection @steveshairychest @unclewaynemunson @roblnwheeler @thefreakandthehair @riality-check @stevesbipanic @strawberryspence @stevethehairington @henderdads @flowercrowngods

Random thoughts about Hunter:
I'm just really hoping the writers do the right thing with Hunter before it's too late. Hunter has been in some kind of sleeping mode since S1. Like He cannot be or do anything that is not related to Omega.
I love Hunter. I really do. But the writers have failed to give him more than just to be Omega's father figure, and they failed to do that too. I think his relationship with Omega is unbalanced. She has had better development being around others than him.
I am begging that they don't let him fade into some sacrifice plot at the end of the series where he dies to protect Omega and never acknowledges anything about them as the bad batch as a whole. He could be more than that.
I understand his stance about Crosshair, but like Tech said, understanding you doesn't mean I agree with you. I think as a leader, he has a lot of flaws. No one is perfect, I know, but he is THE LEADER. Argh...It's just I'd wish they would show more about him and see him in a context not related to Omega. I know he wants to protect her because she is the most valuable person to him. But I need more than "she is one of us" as an explanation for this crazy crusade he has been through since season 1, when he couldn't do the bare minimum for "one of them." Or the Jango fatherhood gene's. I need him to care about the others as much as he does with Omega.
BTW, I am thanking Amanda Rose Muñoz for what we watched today; at least we have more context about his relationship with Crosshair in the past, and we need more of that. I loved finally seeing Hunter snap and show emotion. But if they want Hunter to grow out of being Omega as his whole personality, he needs to acknowledge his unsolved feelings and wrongs. You cannot just keep blaming this one character for all the bad stuff that has happened around him.
We as the audience know the Empire, and the plot is going to get them. But by the time they decide to let Hunter be aware of that, it is going to be too late.
Disclaimer: This is my opinion and you don't have to agree with me. Thank you.

DP x SW
Danny Phantom x Star Wars fic Idea:
Btw, I have never posted on Tumblr before so I have no idea if I am doing this right. I am bad at communicating on the internet apparently. My son's friends think I am nerdy/geeky enough to be the cool mom though so I'll take it.
So, in Danny Phantom he Infinite realms holds all afterlives. However, only so many people form into ghosts after death. Highly traumatic emotional deaths and people exposed to ectoplasm if I understand correctly.
I was thinking about SW Mandalorians and how they think of death and souls. Nu kyr'adyc, shi taab'echaaj'la - "Not gone, merely marching far away"—;
When a foundling is adopted it's 'name and soul' and I've seen it referenced as giving that child a soul, sometimes even after they died.
"Comprised of a simple statement of intent, a prospective Mandalorian parent needed only to recite the phrase ni kyr'tayl gai sa'ad—"I know your name as my child"—followed by the name of the individual to be adopted." Wookieepedia
The Mandalorians have the Manda:
"The manda was a spiritual[2] and philosophical concept in the Mandalorian religion. Among the living, manda referred to a state of being, wherein a Mandalorian had achieved a philosophical unity of mind, body, and spirit. Additionally, the manda could refer to the collective soul of the Mandalorian people, with Mandalorians passing into the manda upon their death." (Wookieepedia)
I have a headcannon that the Manda would be an ancient spirit like Vortex, Undergrowth, and Nocturne. With the Mandalorians united under the Manda, they are far more likely to form as ghosts and 'go 'marching' in the Infinite realms than a random Joe. This would lead to a large Mandalorian civilization in the realms, most likely made larger by the Mandalorian tendency to adopt. The realms would have plenty of newly formed ghosts from all overt the multiverse, probably a lot without a particular afterlife they're shooting for.
For a fic idea I see a Mandalorian, say Jaster, coming across Danny (maybe he had to flee his dimension due to the GIW) and adopting him on the spot (or at least trying to). He can mentor Danny as a leader (if this is a ghost prince/king thing). Or for more zaniness Dani/Elli. Or both.
THis being a SW cross you can have Dani taking notice of the clones. Jaster probably keeps an eye on Jango if he can. Danny and Dani being halfas could go into the SW verse to help the clones. Maybe leaving Jaster to collect the decommissioned clones by adopting them on his behalf? Not sure of the logistics there. I like the image of him saving the decommed clones and keeping them safe in the realms.
Jango might not count the clones as his kids, but my understanding of Mandalorian culture is that you can't disown your kids (but they can disown you), so they might be born into the Manda anyway. The Manda (as a spirit in this AU) would be very upset I think and maybe ask Danny as King to intervene? Just spitballing now. Maybe send Jaster to haunt Jango until he fixes his ish (as much as possible). Maybe other former Manda'lore as well.
Fun additions:
Jaster/Ghost Writer besties or maybe more?
Lunch Lady feeding the clones
Technus vs droid armies :)

Welcome to day 6 of random Star Wars shitposty headcanons!
I’m so sorry btw, some of these ended up kinda angst 😬
-Mandalorians have Flannel shirt energy. Like they just wear flannels in their down time. Always. Their pyjamas? Flannel. First date? Flannel. If they’re not on the battle field, they’re wearing flannel. Jango Fett wore flannel boxers for good luck. The one day he didn’t wear them Windu cut his head off. Boba now wears flannel boxers for good luck.
-Obi-Wan Kenobi gets more and more Scottish the more emotional he gets. Sometimes in council meetings they legitimately cannot understand him so they just smile and nod. It did however lead to a 13 year old Anakin learning some creative insults over the years. Everyone remembers the time Yoda caught the kids arm with a practice saber and the teen yelled “yer da sells Avon ya wrinkly green bawbag”.
-The clones drink an insane amount of caf. The problem is they all have very specific orders. The space starbucks employees hate them. One will come in and suddenly they have to make like 50 drinks. Some are fine - like Wolffe and Cody just take it black, and Echo will just get a tea. Tup just gets a hot chocolate. But then someone (looking at Fives because mans is DRaMATIC) will turn up in sunglasses and order a Venti Iced Skinny Hazlenut Macchiato, Sugar-Free syrup, extra shot, lite ice, no whip or some shit and hold everything up. That’s not even getting into Kix and the other medics (and probably Rex too tbf, my guy is tired) who order drinks with more espresso shots than should be legally allowed. Fox is banned for life or has a lifelong loyalty card and there’s no in between.
-Clones like camping. Just vibing under the stars together with crappy food and cheap tents. It’s good for team building, but also counts as training so they don’t feel guilty for it.
-After leaving the empire, Kallus really doesn’t like wearing a helmet because it reminds him of who he used to be, and he’s trying very hard to move past that point of his life. The ghost crew are super reluctant to let him on the frontline in case he gets hurt. Eventually Rex just makes him wear Gregor’s old chest plate and vambraces because his brother didn’t wear them and died, and he wouldn’t let that happen to another member of his family, regardless of who they used to be.
-Thrawn does yoga in the mornings and evenings so he can maintain his fight training schedule without pulling a muscle. He’s mad flexible. It’s very stressful on the ship cos officers will go to deliver messages and just find him in weird positions thinking. One new transfer once had to tell him about a rebel insurrection whilst the grand admiral was in the crab position. It was awkward.
-On a definitely unrelated note, Eli Vanto sucks at yoga and finds Thrawn being good at it infuriating.
-Dooku does all of his own gardening because a droid stepped on his carnations and he was not having that. (He also did not approve of Ventress’s snide “what in carnation?!” Comment when he informed her). Dooku is actually where Qui-Gon got his love for plants. He likes the way they feel in the force.
-Fenn Rau and Bo-Katan were actually pretty good friends. They’d fly around and chat shit about once a week just to relax when they were younger.
-Pre-Grogu Din Djarin always wanted a pet, but never had a way to look after them properly. So every time he was on a planet he’d go to shelters and play with the animals there to make sure they had fun at least once in their lives.
-At any given moment at least one room on a 501st ship is blasting cheese room music so that the troopers can unwind together for a bit before their next mission. It’s surprisingly effective given that they’re just dancing together.
-As a way to understand other cultures and find harmony with the force all of the Jedi learn an instrument. Yoda played the piccolo, Dooku played the flute. Qui-Gon played the bongos, Obi-Wan plays the violin. Anakin learnt the guitar, and one of the reasons he wears the glove over his prosthetic is so he can still play. But little Ahsoka? She got a wholeass drumset. She’s pretty good too, but she likes 3am to be her practice time. Quinlan is super proud that she took his advice. Anakin and Obi want to kill the kiffar on principle.
As usual, hope you enjoy my shitpost. Any thought, criticism or idea is welcome. Have a goodun lads!

btw I'm not sure if I misunderstood but was Anon suggesting that Dooku and Chewie adopt a Fett?
the anon in question:
Tumblr media
You know, I think I ignored that bit because it doesn’t fit with the timeline, but that’s a very stupid reason to ignore a very funny idea, especially since this entire au is born of my pain and the dreams of the anons who love torturing me.
So: Jango Fett dies. Real bummer for me, because Temuera Morrison is very hot, and also a real bummer for Boba, because now he has daddy issues. Or more daddy issues. I find it hard to believe Jango didn’t pass some of his own on. Daddy issues are generational.
In any case, Jango dead, Boba distraught with grief, up pops Dooku for some reason, even though he’s not evil within the context of this au. Maybe it’s Galidraan 2.0, but this time Dooku isn’t the one doing the horrible slaughter. Maybe he’s just there on vacation. Maybe he felt the call of the Force because there’s a tiny lonely violent child and that’s his hobby right now. He collects violent children. He’s even got a limited edition Chosen One.
Anyways, Boba comes back with him. Dooku gives him a lightsaber. Boba murders a bunch of people very messily. Dooku is disappointed. Boba murders a bunch of people but, like, in a smart and clean way this time. Dooku is approving.
Also, Ventress adopts Boba as her little brother. They commit many crimes together.

You say you like Boba?? Any chance for some Boba Fett SFW/NSFW HCs for a relationship with him??
Yes!!!! I love Boba!!!! I made this super long because I love Boba Fett too much lol. I also based this mostly off of legends Boba, because legends Boba is the best lol.
Note: Boba Fett is a true Mandalorian, just like his father Jango Fett. 
Boba Fett relationship headcanons SFW and NSFW
SFW 
Boba Fett is the galaxy’s most famous bounty hunter, so he is a very busy man 
He lives on Slave I so if you ever want to see him often you’d have to move in with him 
If you don’t join him on his ship then you’ll see him whenever he gets a chance to stop by 
He’ll stop by at like your job or something, making sure to cause a scene because he’s dramatic 
If you stay with him on Slave I you quickly learn that he owns like three t-shirts 
Boba has no outfits at all, when he’s not in his armor he’s in a t-shirt and cargo pants
He only owns one pair of boots that are older than he is 
If you even think of buying him clothes he won’t wear them 
Boba is extremely stubborn, and you learn that early on 
For example, Slave I is old as shit and is falling apart slowly. He fixes the ship by himself, he will not pay to get it fixed
Fixing Slave I while shirtless just to show off is Boba’s favorite pastime
He’s a big show off and will not admit it 
Boba has a lot of money from his job, but he never really spends it. 
He is also a very blunt man, he speaks his mind openly and doesn’t take any shit
This makes him sassy as hell sometimes
He plans ahead constantly, he always has a plan for everything 
Boba even plans out what is going to happen with you both in the future
He just believes you’ll get tired of him and leave one day, which secretly worries him 
He’s use to being lonely and miserable, so he never really tries to stop you if you ever want to leave 
Being a blunt man, he isn’t very romantic.
He isn’t big into giving or receiving gifts. Sometimes he’ll bring you back little trinkets from his job 
“This reminded me of you.” He mumbles out as he throws a pretty necklace that he stole at you 
 Speaking of mumbling?? Boba doesn’t like to raise his voice and he mumbles often 
Boba doesn’t talk that much. Once you get to know him better you’ll learn that his body language is very readable. 
Boba is terrible at showing any emotion besides anger and irritation, so you’ll have to work hard to get him to laugh 
He is a very angry man, you can see it in his dark irises
Boba doesn’t like to talk about his emotions, instead he bottles them up 
He hardly talks about his father, but if you ask he’d love to tell you stories 
He obviously misses his father, and thinking of his death angers him greatly
Being such a detached man means that you’ll have to work hard for your relationship to work out 
Boba is a workaholic, so expect him to always be working 
Slave I often as has bounties in the cargo hold, just ignore them and you’ll be fine 
Sleep? Boba has never heard of her. He hardly ever sleeps, and when he does he doesn’t sleep well
He has nightmares often, mostly about losing his father and his hard life as a teen 
Please cuddle this broken boy when he has nightmares 
You swear you’ve never seen this man eat anything but protein sticks/ration sticks 
They taste like paper but carry all the proper nutrients so he doesn’t care
If you bring him sweets though he’ll act like he won’t eat them. Then eat them all in the middle of the night
He is a very very attractive man, but he doesn’t see it 
All he sees in the mirror is his father, he hates his reflection
The clones? Boba doesn’t like them either. He doesn’t see them as brothers 
Especially the clones trained by his father and the Cuy’val Dar
Boba Fett is a very miserable man, but you make him happier 
Does he show it? Not really.
Boba is a hardass and doesn’t have the time to give any fucks 
He does not care about anyone's opinion, sometimes he cares about yours though
Boba doesn’t know how to really show his love for you, so he shows it by being super protective 
Possessive as hell. Boba get’s jealous super easily but won’t show it in any way but anger 
He will kill a person that looks at you wrong. You’ve seen him kill a man in a bar with his bare hands over you before
He’s crazy but it’s pretty hot
He sometimes does trophy hunts and will bring you back a fur blanket or something. He thinks it’s sweet 
Those braids on his shoulders? Wookie scalps. He’ll happily tell you about it 
Boba had a wife and daughter when he around eighteen(18) but he had to leave them because his dangerous job made them targets of other bounty hunters 
He doesn’t like to talk about them. At all. He’ll tell you he fucked up badly with them and that’s it
If you ever get pregnant with his child expect him to freak out badly 
His dangerous job will make you a target as well, so be prepared for Boba to have a tracking device on you that you don’t know about 
He has a reason to be so protective of you, he has many enemies 
Boba gets injured a lot and knows how to fix himself up. It’s terrifying how he doesn’t really show pain
He’s obviously had a very difficult life, and it makes you sad. 
Once he escapes from the Sarlacc and heals he is covered in acid burn scars, and one of his legs is pretty fucked up. 
The leg will give him problems throughout his life, and that’s all he really complains about 
You’ll have to say “I love you” first. Boba will either be like, “Ha ha cool.” Then disappear for a month or he’ll be like, “I think I love you too.” Then disappear for a month 
Boba knows that everyone he has ever loved has either died or ended up in danger 
So falling in love with you scares him pretty bad. You’ll have to talk some sense into him 
Once he calms down and learns that feelings are a good thing he’ll be a little nicer to you 
He’ll still be an asshole but he’s an asshole that loves you 
Boba Fett would die for you, that’s how he shows his love 
He isn’t the perfect boyfriend but he tries 
NSFW
Your relationship starts out as only sexual btw
Because Boba is scared of falling in love with you 
Boba has a lot of experience and it shows 
He’ll find out what makes you tick and he won’t ever forget 
His self control is terrifying, so you’ll have to work hard to make him snap 
Since his self control is so good he draws out orgasm after orgasm from you 
Like I said before, Boba does not give a fuck. So he’ll fuck you anytime, anywhere 
Boba has fucked you in front of his bounties before 
He is also extremely possessive, so he covers you in marks to prove that only he can fuck you 
When his jealousy gets the best of him he basically turns into an animal and fucks away his frustrations
He absolutely loves having sex in his armor while you’re completly naked 
Boba loves some good ol’ rough sex, but sometimes he’ll be gentle and slow 
Sometimes he’ll fuck you painfully slow, mainly as a punishment 
He loves punishing you, sometimes he’ll leave your ass bruised for days 
Orgasm denial is his favorite punishment, that or overstimulation 
Boba is surprisingly kinky and will openly tell you about his kinks
He does have a breeding kink, but he tries to control it. He doesn’t want another kid 
Boba is on male birth control but he is still cautious 
He’ll really do anything, so tell him your darkest desires and he may make them come true 
He isn’t really into being submissive but there are some rare nights 
Pegging? Absolutely. He’ll whine and beg like a whore 
After you peg him once he’ll ask you to do it a lot more often 
He’s pretty big into anal in general, so prepare for that 
Boba is into choking as well, if you try to choke him then it’s game on 
Sometimes he can be pretty rough, but he makes up for it in aftercare 
He’s a sweetheart if you two have time for aftercare 
He’ll clean both of you up with a warm rag then cuddle you, while whispering sweet nothings into your ear
Boba’s weakness is his neck, if you kiss him there he melts 
Please mark this dirty man up, he loves it 
He loves oral sex! Giving or receiving! 
His mouth is magical and he knows it 
Boba is a quiet man so he isn’t really into dirty talk, but he will mumble out some hot words here and there
His voice is gruff as hell, so the few words he does say makes you melt 
He’s a little shit, so he teases the fuck out of you 24/7
Please fall asleep on his chest after sex and just cuddle him, he’ll sleep like a baby

assassin au with the "making a deal to save the other" and jangobi?
Okay, this one’s actually even a bit longer than the other one, so it’s going under a read more lol
Jango is a merc/bounty hunter/assassin guy, Obi-Wan is an information broker with an editing cover job and a “rental property” to embezzle money
These two have never met, and have no idea about each other’s identities beyond knowing their underground reputations, until Jango is hired to assassinate Obi-Wan’s little brother, Anakin
Obi-Wan is visiting Anakin for the weekend on the day of the planned assassination, and notices things are a little off, setting off all of his learned criminal world/underground alarms
(Anakin, btw, is a part time mechanic, part time engineering student. Obi-Wan has very carefully kept the boy out of his world since becoming Anakin’s official guardian after their adoptive father, Qui-Gon Jinn, died in an accident)
Obi-Wan gets paranoid enough after spending an evening with Anakin that he fakes a pillow body in the guest room and sets himself up in the living room to guard
This is somewhat fortunate for him when an apparent burglar (who moves much too professionally and dangerously) breaks in through a window near silently
Jango barely has half a second of realizing something’s up before being side tackled
The fight is pretty intense, if odd for being so quiet, since they both coincidentally don’t want Anakin to wake up (at some point Obi-Wan manages to get Jango’s ski mask off)
In the end, Obi-Wan ends up pinned under Jango, hands restrained above his head, knife against his throat, straddled
Jango grumbles sardonically about how Obi-Wan couldn’t make Jango’s job easier and just sleep through the night and call the police in the morning, tipping Obi-Wan off to the man being there for Anakin instead of him
Obi-Wan is, of course, a self-sacrificing idiot and gets Jango’s attention by wondering out loud about what a small-time mechanic going through school could have done to get a high-level assassin sent after him
(Jango’s plan, as Obi-Wan has figured out, was to stage a break in/burglary and wake Anakin up and kill him in the resulting “fight” to make it look like the burglar had killed Anakin in the heat of the moment)
With the man under him clearly having figured out too much, Jango decides he’ll have to kill him too, but first thinks it’s worth learning what gave him away
There’s a bit of back and forth until Obi-Wan is able to piece together who exactly Jango is (should his assassin name be Mythosaur? I think that would be fun and the “myth” bit can refer to his work being so subtle and Jango being such an unknown outside of his assassin rep)
Now, someone figuring out exactly who Jango is an even bigger no-no, so Jango goes right for the kill
Jango doesn’t manage to kill Obi-Wan before Obi-Wan offers a deal (didn’t think I’d take “making a deal to save the other” this way, did you?)
Jango’s pressing a blade into Obi-Wan’s neck enough to draw blood but finds himself intrigued enough to let the man talk for another few seconds (Obi-Wan really is quite the negotiator)
Obi-Wan offers free information for life, basically, and to be support for a set number of missions a year. In exchange, Jango won’t kill Anakin and will let Obi-Wan find Jango’s client and kill the client to nullify the contract (and prevent Jango’s rep from being tarnished)
It’s an utterly absurd proposal but also clearly made with knowledge of the underground, so Jango of course asks who Obi-Wan thinks he is to make that kind of offer
Jango finds himself reluctantly impressed by Obi-Wan’s identity (I have no idea what his underworld identity is, but I don’t it to be “The Negotiator”) and finds himself considering the deal, which Obi-Wan catches onto and he manages to convince Jango
(Part of the final deal includes the fact that Jango technically has two more months per his contract to carry out the hit. If Obi-Wan can’t find the client by then, Jango will kill Anakin anyways. Obi-Wan is desperately confident that he can do it, despite Jango having basically zero info beyond the contract and a clearly shell company in Hong Kong to wire the money to)
Jango gets Obi-Wan to give him a glut of information over the next few weeks, to the point of them spending a few hours in a private booth/room in a very private club so Obi-Wan can safely give it all to him. Obi-Wan is both desperate to meet expectations and tries his best; and is also very annoyed at getting pulled away from hunting down who’s trying to kill Anakin and therefore sasses Jango quite a bit.
Obi-Wan is really having trouble figuring out who wants to kill Anakin, finally giving in and starting from the other end, Anakin himself. Why would someone want to kill Anakin? Specifically why would the sort of person who can find and hire Jango want to kill Anakin? This is in some ways even harder to figure out, but Obi-Wan has many more leads and information to access
After a few weeks of this dynamic, the first change is when Jango and Obi-Wan end up complaining about a mutual acquaintance during an info drop off, which leads to more mutual bitching
Then Jango drags Obi-Wan across the country (we’re just going to assume we were in like… NYC or Chicago before) to assist him in another assassination in LA
Obi-Wan is somewhat tempted to get Jango caught, since that would be an easy way to save Anakin, but decides against it for multiple reasons (including a few that he will not yet acknowledge, including developing fondness for Jango and, even worse, the first few seeds of trust)
So instead of going to prison, Jango returns from a smooth assassination to an already half-drunk Obi-Wan, shirt very scandalously unbuttoned halfway down
The have a nice night of just drinking and relaxing and then wake up the next morning curled around each other in bed (they didn’t have sex, as the lack of certain types of soreness and their clean, still on, pants from the night before prove. But they still have the knowledge and a few sensations of sleeping together with their guards down)
When they get back, things are a little awkward, but it’s fine, they’re professionals, so they’ll keep meeting to keep up their deal. Obi-Wan keeps giving Jango any info he wants, and they keep accidentally falling back into their habits of doing things like complaining about mutual acquaintances who annoy them
Obi-Wan is also making some headway with investigating who wants to kill Anakin, finding many questionable decisions on Anakin’s part, especially regarding friends/social circle, but not anyone who would be able to hire Jango that would dislike Anakin
With about a week and a half left, and leads running out, Obi-Wan starts to freak out a little, which Jango notices, which in turn makes Jango realize that he doesn’t like Obi-Wan being stressed out and afraid and tense and looking at Jango like he’s a cat about to pounce on a wounded canary
But Jango also puts work before all else so when he has another job (coincidentally in the same city), Jango drags Obi-Wan with him, unfortunately making the mistake to literally bring Obi-Wan with him
When Jango starts cursing about the job going to hell part way through a shoot-out, Obi-Wan casually comments that it’s not even that bad, prompting a sass battle between the two of them while they’re still fighting their actual opponents where Jango realizes that Obi-Wan, as brilliant as he is, has the worst on-the-ground luck ever
In the end, they win, with a very damaged, limping vehicle that they, for handwavey reasons, need to get to some spot that the car won’t make it to as is. Thus, they have to go slide into the mechanic shop Anakin’s working the graveyard shift for
Obi-Wan really does hate, in many ways, finally having his two worlds collide, bringing Jango and the shot-out car directly to Anakin, and is almost distracted from how bad he feels about it when Jango tries to comfort him
Jango is, thankfully, a very good actor, and Anakin is a bit oblivious. He very easily starts clumsily probing Jango about what Obi-Wan and Jango quickly figure out Anakin thinks is a romantic relationship between them (and, to be fair, Obi-Wan has been acting strange, and spending much more time “with a friend” in the past two months or so)
At some point, Obi-Wan gets so uncomfortable with the idea that he and Jango are in a romantic relationship that he makes what is, to him and Jango, a mistake, and draws attention to the bullet holes again
Jango vaguely looks like he wants to kill Obi-Wan while Anakin casually explains it’s not that big of a deal, although he might have to find a better patch if this sort of thing keeps happening
This stops any murder plans Jango was making, and any counter plans Obi-Wan was making in favor of carefully probing Anakin to figure out when else he had fixed a bullet ridden car
Anakin reveals pretty easily that his engineering school’s dean, Sidney Palpatine (Sidney=Sid-=Sidious lol) had dropped in about two and a half months ago with a car in similar condition. As well as a few other people that Anakin describes well enough for Jango and Obi-Wan to identify as members of a local crime organization and a private army (like Blackwater/Academi), as well as mention a weird package in the trunk
This is clearly the who and why for Jango getting hired to assassinate Anakin, but they both play it cool until Anakin’s done and they can go on their way to drop off the vehicle
Cue Obi-Wan having a panic attack, which freaks Jango out quite a bit, since he’s so used to Obi-Wan being very calm and controlled and not showing vulnerability. Obi-Wan even gets outwardly angry
Cue Jango’s “oh. Oh.” moment
Jango basically drags a near catatonic Obi-Wan back to the apartment he’s been staying in and drugs him to sleep (in Jango’s mind, if Obi-Wan was too out of it to notice a drugged drink, then he clearly had no more business staying awake)
By the time Obi-Wan wakes up and starts panicking, less than yesterday (thanks to a good night’s sleep), Jango has some basic information on the legal and illegal lives of Palpatine, and a few half-formed assassination plans
Jango also has toast. Which he makes Obi-Wan eat. Obi-Wan grumps about not having been forced to eat breakfast since he was a teen. Cue a small sassy back and forth that further calms Obi-Wan down
Jango offers to kill Palpatine for free, which startles Obi-Wan because that is not how the criminal underworld works. Jango half-heartedly puts forth some logic about how Obi-Wan succeeding with their deal means that Jango gets to keep the best information broker on his side. Obi-Wan can tell that that isn’t all, and recognizes that Jango is probably being kind, but won’t outright admit it
They eventually decide on a plan where Anakin will bring Obi-Wan with him to go visit dean Palpatine who he’s friends with, and that Obi-Wan will bring some poisoned tea in a travel to mug to share. Anakin will refuse the tea, being Anakin, and Obi-Wan and Palpatine will both drink the poison. Obi-Wan will have the antidote (either disguised as something innocuous or to be taken during a bathroom break) and cure himself before there are any symptoms, leaving Palpatine to die of what will look like a natural heart attack
The plan goes awry, due to Kenobi luck, when Anakin accidentally has them barge in while Palpatine is meeting with another criminal. Cue a fight in the office, a secret passage, and more criminals to fight while Jango scrambles to get to the new location to help
Obi-Wan manages to actually word his way into delaying their defeats and deaths until Jango gets there. Jango manages to take out about half of the enemies before he gets defeated/captured as well
At this point Obi-Wan tries to make a deal again, to save Anakin and Jango. It seems to work/Palpatine seems interested, only for him to pull the rug out and basically say he’ll be either killing all three or making them wish they were dead, including some conjecture about Obi-Wan’s looks (aka sexual slavery)
Cue Jango getting incensed enough to break free again and start fighting again. He gets to Obi-Wan, frees him, and thus ensues a battle couple take down from the cheesiest of action flicks
In the end, Palpatine is the last one standing. Before either of them (or Anakin, who is beginning to get over his shock) can kill Palpatine, he runs away. Jango, Obi-Wan, and a confused Anakin give chase, stopping at the end of an alley as they realize that Palpatine has been hit by a bus
Jango and Obi-Wan drag Anakin through a convoluted path back to Obi-Wan’s apartment and confirm that, yes, Palpatine died. Jango and Obi-Wan quickly confirm that there’s nothing linking them to the crime scene (Palpatine had told his secretary that Anakin and Obi-Wan had left out the back when he realized he was going to have to kill them, giving them an alibi)
Obi-Wan and Jango tell Anakin a mostly true story and prod Anakin to decide to go back to [insert some place here] and live with some half-distant bio relatives (the Lars family), maybe finish his degree online
Cut to a few months later, Obi-Wan is reading an update text from Anakin before Jango comes into the room. Obi-Wan gives him a good luck kiss before sending Jango out to his job, reminding him that “I’ve always got your back”, Jango responds in kind, Obi-Wan accepts this/informs Jango that he knows before letting Jango drag him into another kiss

The Mandalorian s2 ep1 Reactions Post That’s right I’m BACK
and none of you not even god himself can stop me from rambling about space cowboy dad and tiny green baby stuff for much longer than any sane person should 
the TL;DR is that I still love this show SO MUCH, beware a bunch of spoilers under the cut!
- costume design wise I LOVE how badly the armour fits Cobb Vanth
Tumblr media
 especially when you get shots with him and Din side by side for contrast:
Tumblr media
It’s not just that it’s clearly not made for him (it seems he’s a lot lankier and more wiry than Boba is), he simply doesn’t know how to wear it, and he doesn’t know how to take care of it, because he doesn’t know what it means. Remember when Din’s breastplate got bent completely out of shape by the mudhorn and he had it repaired to the best of his ability long before they even finished with the ship? That’s why he looks so grounded and natural in it and Vanth has sort of a clumsy Spiderman-in-his-first-home-made-costume air about him. (also Boba’s helmet has a beautiful heft and solidity to it in this, they make all the beskar have a Feel and weight to it, makes it feel important)  
I like that Vanth is taller than Din; everything that drives home that Din’s strength doesn’t come from being naturally physically imposing or impressive is a joy to me 
- Boba’s armour seems to be confirmed to be real beskar, which gives me so much hope that they’re doing something actually nuanced and interesting with Boba and Jango’s cultural identities as Mandalorians (whether they do consider themselves that or not, for example), unlike George Lucas’ inexplicable yet unbending stance of ‘They aren’t and never were lol get fucked Fetts’  
the way the triumphant heroic part of the mando music sputtered and died when the man himself showed up tho... uh-oh this might be bad news 
Tumblr media
man but that’s a stunning and surprising way to introduce a well-known character divorced from what makes them so iconic, though, just from that I’m going to trust they know what they’re doing (AND they got temuera morrison back I’m so EXCITED!!!). without the armor there’s the face of someone who shared that face with literal millions and at the same time must be looking older than his father ever got to at this point, and that’s super interesting as a starting point to me. (I... guess there’s still a chance it’s a fakeout and that it’s actually another clone, but that would be such a letdown when they’ve already given us this haha) 
Tumblr media
- an excellent [mando sighs] moment
this opening scene did a great job of re-summarizing him for the audience -- establishing again that he gives you one chance at dealing with him fairly and if you insist on continuing to be an asshole about it, you’re toast, the fact that his fighting style is so much about being able to tank blows rather than not getting hit in the first place, the horror movie monster mando setup as he stalked the dude down and strung him up, the Poetic Justice predicated on some very careful word choices, and most importantly “where I go, he goes”... all wonderful, I’m sure I’ll watch this scene back for fine details and better looks at the background characters many many times 
(word seems to have spread about him and the baby for real now, which makes me VERY nervous btw)
- Pulserifle’s back! Jetpack’s back! Razor Crest’s back! Grappling line’s back! PELLI’S BACK!!!!!! Tattooine... is also back *Finn voice* Why does everyone want to go back to Tattooine????
I really enjoyed the way they fleshed out and (for lack of a better word) humanized the sand people, though, if you are going back to this desert hellplanet again that is a worthy reason to do it 
- Din swearing :O!! and one of the less egregious star wars swears too, I’m fine with this
- in campaign star wars news: I guess there was sort of both a binbon and a jubna in this ep! what a time to be alive
- as usual I love the jawa. a bright spot in any day, just a bunch of lil goblin-y friends hanging out having the best time loving sparkly crystals and rescuing silver foxes.  
Tumblr media
get in loser we’re going shopping
-  
Tumblr media
I uh. Do you think. Hm. Is there maybe a metaphor here somewhere. Is there perhaps a hidden, one may say double, meaning, at play, right here, in this image? Who can say, it’s just niggling at me (there’s a very similar set of shots with Toro in season 1, but seemingly the show went ‘I fear we might have gone too subtle with it, let’s amp it up this time’ over the season break loool)
honestly though this dynamic really highlighted everything I love about the ways Din performs masculinity. It’s so much softer and more community/collaboration focused and more comfortable to be around than Vanth’s version -- and Vanth isn’t a bad dude by any stretch of the imagination, it’s not hard to see why he’s like that considering where he’s from, he’s just such a... man. The lone person who can protect this village! The only man who’s got what it takes! It’s all on his shoulders and no one else’s, so do exactly as he says or he’ll put a hole in you! (I think it’s telling that one of his first comments to Din is ‘I’m sure you call the shots wherever you’re from, but ‘round here, I’m the person who tell folks what to do’, because as we as the audience knows, Din very much does not call the shots of where he’s from lol) I guess it says some nice things about the tribe of Mandos Din is from that this is how he approaches things, and it says some good things about Vanth how quickly he comes around to this smarter and less confrontational/domineering style of doing things once he’s been exposed to it and sees how it works. it’s just neat
(it’s smart of Favreau to set his ~*lone gunslinger*~ character up like this, too, it makes him so much more interesting and versatile)   
- With the way Din says ‘a Mandalorian Armorer sent me on my path’ it does seem confirmed that’s the equivalent of a priest role or a sort of shaman -- I wonder if he knows the name of ‘The’ Armorer or if they take on the role as a whole identity 
- the sheer contrast between the two people who wanted Din to take his helmet off for them in this ep tho... wants Mando’s armour off for horrible awful reasons and got exactly what he deserved:
Tumblr media
wants Mando’s armour off for entirely sympathetic and understandable, just culturally uninformed, thirsty thirsty reasons & also having drinks together:
Tumblr media
 (the sort of... little lick over his bottom lip he does there? keep it in your pants vanth my GODjflsadf he’s a good dude tho he understands and respects the ‘no armour removal before marriage’ thing and backs down gracefully)
- This is a nuanced thing: I don’t think I actually ship it (not in a requited way from Din’s side, anyway, Vanth I’m 100% sure about lol), but the incredible potential for out-of-context-taking of “Take it off, or I will”/”...we doin’ this in front of the kid?” is uh astounding  
(anyone got the vibe Vanth sort of had something with the bartender too? no just me? well well)
- I was never really scared Din was actually dead or hurt b/c baby wasn’t scared and I figure he’d know lol, a very useful fear barometer 
- “What’s the plan?” “Take care of the child” “What are you gonna do?” “I don’t know, but wish me luck *yeets his new bro out of harm’s way before diving in head first himself*” fksdjhfkjlashdfkjsldahfkasldjhfskldajhfsadkjfh WHAT a summation of Din’s entire approach to battle & life, dad please you carry a not insignificant part of my heart around with you be careful 
(Also with the heavy implication that Boba was watching the whole thing... can you imagine him just looking on as Din throws himself down that gullet like a madman. There must have been some ‘o_-7 *headscratch headscratch* ???’ going on for him there)
it’s kind of sweet that din trusts vanth will take care of the baby if something happens though, they really bonded quickly huh 
- the sand people who kept willingly going over to the krayt dragon’s cave are honestly braver and more admirable than anyone else has ever been, I kept just shouting in anguish as they were gobbled up, they deserved better 
- can we talk about how clear it still is that Din’s just... lonely. When he thinks he’s found another Mando and he sounds almost reverent with relief... and then it gets odder and odder (’uh... drinks? I guess... does he have drinking straws with him or -- HE’S TAKING THE HELMET OFF???’ oh buddy)
I wonder if they’re building towards something about him realizing it doesn’t have to be Mandos for him to trust and bond with people longer term? Basically all the characters he’s met and we’ve watched him form attachments to and get help from are non-Mandos -- Kuiil :’^(, Cara, Omera, Cobb Vanth, IG-11 :^’’(, Greef Karga to a degree. Establishing so firmly what he’s looking for this early would be good setup for a ‘what a character thinks they want vs. what they need’ thing later on just on a writing level, anyway, Boba Fett could bring in some interesting points of view about Mandalorianness too   
- baby’s happy gurgles when he sees pelli!!!!!! din speaking sand people language and petting alligator doggies!!!!!!
- pedro pascal’s voice work remains an utter joy to me. din’s measured, earnest, occasionally slightly stilted way of talking is still so good, and then he does things like inserting some more... idk life is the wrong word but that more charged and dynamic tone he took on when he said (”I thought you weren’t a gambler”) “I’m not”. *chef kiss*
- if the pulse rifle’s stun is able to do that to a fuckn krayt dragon... that’s some serious shit din is carrying around with him lol (interestingly the actual shooty pew-pew part of it didn’t seem to do much to it, but then I guess he was shocking it from the inside out and not through thick hide, so idk)
- my only real complaints about this ep: Vanth’s backstory ran a bit long, and not enough baby & dad interaction. the concept art’s got me tho: 
Tumblr media
 (din often wears his original/old armour in concept art still, incidentally, don’t know what that’s about)
Tumblr media
awwwwwww
+ omfg ;______;
Tumblr media
- this sand people person conscientiously brushing a bantha’s teeth... blessed
Tumblr media
- Customary flame thrower report: there was a rare useful deployment of the flamethrower. Good job Mando’s flame thrower for furthering the field of diplomacy
ETA: I CAN’T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS: DIN BEING COMFORTABLE(ISH) AROUND DROIDS NOW!!!! GROWTH????!?! IG-11 WE MISS YOU??????????

I mean I think we both know what I shall ask... head canons for Arla???
ooooooooh arlaaaaa. There is some angst in here and a lot of fluff.
She’s a lesbian (this is @forcesensitivebantha​‘s headcanon but I have adopted it).
She’s an absolute mess around people who she likes. The type of person who’s scarily competent on the battle field but she turns so red when she tries to talk to her crush. A true disaster lesbian. Jango knows this and teases her for it. 
She has suplexed Jango for embarrassing her really really bad in front of a pretty girl.
She and Jango both get anxiety attacks sometimes (because of the trauma)
Arla eats ice when she gets an anxiety attack (this does work irl for anxiety attacks btw)
She and Jango are really really close (again, because of all the trauma)
Arla and Jango have basically adopted Myles (even though he has his own fully alive family).
Jango has blocked out most of his memories of his parents as a way to cope because he was pretty young when they died. Arla was older and remembers them, but Jango doesn’t like hearing about them. Sometimes she tells Myles about them. Myles is a really good listener.
When Jaster died, Arla had to step up and take his position and she sort of felt like she had to live up to his achievements because he was a legend. It stresses her out a lot of the time because even though she knows that she’s competent, taking care of Jaster’s legacy and keeping the True Mandalorians together is hard sometimes.
Like really stresses her out. A lot.
It worries Jango and Myles and her friends.
Arla has a beskad. Also Westars. She carried around a disintegrator rifle for a little bit but disintegrator rifles are illegal so she kept getting into trouble. Eventually she decided that it wasn’t worth it. (Disintegrator rifles being illegal is also a headcanon of mine because i think disintegrating someone would probably be considered a war crime. Din gets to disintegrate people because during the Imperial era, all of the restrictions on war crimes got lifted or just ignored).
Arla has natural blonde hair. It’s curly (2c or 3a) and gets tangled a lot so she usually braids it and wears a headband.
Her hair is also really thick so she carries around a lot of hairties. Like 30 of them. All of the younger Mandalorians with long hair know that she is the one to go to for a hairband. 
Arla sleeps like 6 hours every day. She would sleep less but then Myles yells at her. Jango doesn’t yell at her because Jango sleeps even less (not because he’s stressed, because he’s stupid and doesn’t think he needs sleep).
She has a huge sweet tooth.
Arla can be really really petty when she gets annoyed. 
She keeps blackmail on everybody. Actual folders on her datapad full of blackmail. 
She has an ongoing prank war with Jango and Myles (said prank war has lasted 10 years). They keep finding new ways to make each other suffer.
Arla takes stupid risks.
She gets really mad when someone else takes a stupid risk but she can’t really talk.
Out of Myles, Jango and Arla, Arla’s the best at hand-to-hand combat.
She has so many knives. So many. Nobody knows where she keeps all of them.
When Arla was younger, she liked climbing a lot and used to give Jaster heart-attacks by finding the tallest tree and climbing all the way to the very top.
She still does that when she’s really stressed and needs a breather. She never gets stuck either.
She speaks some Concordian along with Mando’a
Arla keeps trying to adopt things because she’s a mandalorian and that’s the law. She adopts all of the animals she finds and once accidentally stole someones tooka cat.
She’s very good with animals. Less so with babies because they cry a lot and she doesn’t really know what to do.
Jango definitely has a picture of her awkwardly holding a baby because someone asked her if she wanted to hold them and she had to say yes. He keeps it for blackmail purposes.

What’s up, tumblr? I’m still alive, which isn’t an unnecessary platitude these days. I keep intending to make updates, and I’ve started posts like three times in the last week but never managed to finish them, so this time I’m doing it. 
So yes, I continue to live and not be sick so far, I guess? I will say there have been many times over the last couple weeks I’ve felt off due to what is probably seasonal allergies, but my brain sure likes to make me worry I’ve got Corona. Today, in fact, I got cold midday and I was like, “Oh shit, are the chills coming on? Better feel my forehead, is it hot??”
Sigh.
I didn’t get chills, btw, I was just cold. I keep telling myself more than likely if you get it, it hits you the way a flu does where your whole body just immediately feels like shit, and that certainly hasn’t happened. 
All of this has instilled a healthier fear of the virus than I had, for example, a week ago. For the first couple weeks I was leaving the house daily, sometimes to drop off eBay packages at the post office, but mostly as an excuse to stuff my face with food. I was hitting drive thrus and making trips into Walmart just for junk food, trying to be as careful as possible with keeping my hands clean and everything, but still taking unnecessary risks just to eat food I shouldn’t be eating in the first place.
This week I curbed that urge and haven’t been going out nearly as much, but I’m sorry to say I’m still managing to eat junk I shouldn’t be eating. I was good for about two days, but when I had to go to Walmart yesterday I stocked up on more illicit junk. (Also I would like to say that carrot cake flavored Oreos are very disappointing. I rarely enjoy any of the special flavors, and I don’t even like double stuff ones. Original only, dunked into milk until they get soft.)
The gov’t has now given the suggestion for wearing facemasks when going shopping, and I was actually going to Walmart yesterday for supplies for my mom to make some homemade ones, which meant I didn’t have one to wear for the trip. Probably half the people in the store were wearing them though, and I felt kind of bad for not having one. I tried to hold my breath when I passed people in the aisle.
I’d heard some Walmarts were instituting one-way aisles in the store, but our local one only had the entrances and exits separated, the inside of the store was normal. 
My mom finished one mask today and I tried it on. I guess it might make me feel slightly better mentally, but I hate actually wearing masks. They’re so hot. It’s like trying to keep the blanket over your head in bed, breathing recycled hot air, yuck. There’s also a lot of people claiming anything but the actual medical grade surgical facemasks don’t do much anyway, but I will still be wearing one on future shopping trips because it feels better than absolutely nothing, I guess.
Let’s see, what else? Oh, I got an email from the dude I embarrassingly asked out last year, but only as a business marketing thing because the reason I met him is because his company did work on my house. It was just a thing basically asking for referrals and saying they’re still available to do work and can do everything while keeping up the social distancing thing. But it was still an unpleasant reminder of my cringey memory anyway. 
Speaking of cringe, I randomly remembered an incident that must be at least 15 years old when Chip and I were walking through a bookstore, which we used to do all the time, and there was an author sitting at a table for a book signing event. It wasn’t anyone I’d ever heard of, and indeed he must not have been too terribly popular because there was no one else there. Just him, sitting at his table with a pile of books, and the second hand embarrassment still makes me hurt all these years later. I hope at least a few people came to see him.
I had another sex dream about Hyde from That 70s Show a few days ago. I am not like super hot for him generally, but apparently my subconscious is because this isn’t the first such dream I’ve had about him. Weird.
I have continued my Star Wars prequel watches with Attack of the Clones, and I I can report that it, too, also sucks. Bad dialogue, bad line readings, bad characterizations. Anakin and Padme are supposed to fall in love, and yet there’s no chemistry and Anakin is whiny and petulant and I don’t see powerful Senator Padme being attracted to any of it. Also, wtf did the Sand People do to his mom?? I mean, I can guess what they are implying, but... Damn. Also, I hadn’t remembered that the actors they cast as Jango and Boba Fett were from, judging by their accents, New Zealand. It makes sense, as they movies were filmed in Australia. But their accents sound just like Taika Watiti, and it tickled me.
On the other end of the spectrum the Nicole Kidman movie The Others came on tv so I rewatched it, and it’s always a great movie. I think it’s definitely one of my favorite Nicole Kidman movies. In fact, I just took a stroll through her IMDB just now, and I can say my favorite movie featuring Nicole Kidman is Practical Magic, and The Others is number two. It’s a suspense/light horror movie, and the child actors in it are great, too. I checked to see if the girl who plays her daughter had done anything else, and she mostly hasn’t, so that’s kind of sad.
And finally, my parents and I finished watching Tiger King on Netflix, which has taken the country by storm in the last couple weeks. And guess what - I have actually been to that “zoo.” It was just a few months after Chip died almost 6 years ago, and my Dad had heard about it and wanted to go, so my parents, my sister, and I all drove up to Oklahoma and took a tour. Joe was there and when the tour started you went and sat in a small set of stands and he came out with a couple tigers and interacted with them in a big cage in front of the stands. Then everyone walked around the rest of the grounds on a guided tour. They had a few other types of animals, notably a camel, as I remember. They did not do the cub petting as they didn’t have any at the time, but they brought out a huge yellow python you could touch and take pictures with, which is probably the same one featured in a couple scenes of the Netflix show.
Do we feel kinda skeezy now that we went, after seeing the show? Well, I know I do, but what are you gonna do? I do remember seeing all the crazy stuff in the gift shop, like his albums and products like underwear and condoms with his face, etc, and thinking it was super weird at the time.
Okay, I guess this is long enough to count as an update. It’s nearly 2AM and I told myself I was going to try to get to bed earlier tonight (and yes, this represents earlier) so off I go.

Why do you like Jango so much? I’m not trying to be rude or anything, I love your AUs, I just don’t understand how someone with very little screen time ends up with such a huge following. You’re a great writer by the way
How did I get absolutely obsessed with Jango Fett... well, to start off with, the biggest aspect of my personality is I ALWAYS get attached to a character with not enough screen time and a tragic backstory.
It started off with reading about Dooku one day I think? Anyways, I was reading about SOMETHING and the subject of Galidraan came up. I read all I could get on that Massive Fuckup (the Jedi’s two biggest faults that I think would change their entire order if they weren’t there, are a lifestyle of non-emotionalism, and too much senate oversight, leading to both slaughter of innocents, as well as the senate refusing to let Jedi help anyone not republic aligned) and I was shooketh to my very core. That was probably the biggest fuckup the Jedi had committed in like 1000 years. That was a literal massacre of a POC group of people who are, by definition, antifa mercenaries. I was shook and upset and I immediately needed to read up on every single person involved in this one.
Suddenly, Jango’s hatred of the Jedi made sense. He killed like 6-8 of them with his bare hands. He was then the sole survivor of a complete genocidal massacre, who was captured and immediately sold into slavery. We don’t even know what KIND of slavery he was sold into (at least I assume we don’t know cause I couldn’t find anything on it in my research) and so then you have the whump factor to play with too. This though, created an ABUNDANCE of anti-senate AUs where Jango instead, blamed the senate instead of the Jedi.
Then I started getting into Jango’s background itself (btw, he also had an older sister who was taken in by the Death Watch instead of the True Mandalorians, so in peaceful aus where nothing bad happens and Death Watch isn’t an issue, she should def be there, and in case it’s not clear, she’s in both my fem!Obitine AU as well as my Janwan Santa Clause AU) and saw that he was adopted (I’m not yet sure if this is a legal adoption or not, because Jaster Mereel WAS considered the leader of Concord Dawn, if not the entire Mandalorian sector, but admittedly, I just prefer AUs where he’s in charge of Concord Dawn and the Kryze fam is in charge of Mandalore because that leads to waaaaaaay less fighting and even room for allies, but I do know that Jango considered him a parent, whether or not he called him Dad) and then I started getting into Jaster’s backstory.
This is when I started stanning the ‘the True Mandalorians were right and the senate is evil and terrible and has too much control over the Jedi temple’ train and I ain’t about to jump off anytime soon.
Jaster’s an interesting character because his story arc was specifically about changing the TM so they were a self policing group. I can’t remember if this next part was my headcanon, actual canon, or speculation from another person, but I know it in my heart. A large part of self policing in groups of mercenaries means a code of conduct. Meaning: no rape, don’t steal from the poor, no torture is ever justified (torture for information is always going to get you the wrong information, and torture for the sake of revenge is more for the pleasure of the one doing the torture, than the one being tortured, if you really want revenge that bad, just kill them. One of them is a vigilante and the other is a serial killer.) and never harm an innocent.
It’s unclear to me if Jango kept to this code of conduct after he got out of slavery, but I know that before the massacre happened, he lead the TM in the same way that Jaster did.
Now, why am I so obsessed with Jango? Potential. I believe that the MAJORITY of fix it AUs start with Dooku and Jango and even Jaster (he died a while before Galidraan so you know what, in an AU where he’s still alive, that’s even better) and even Xanatos and Bruck. I believe that a large (massive) part of fix-it AU starts with Jango himself. His upbringing and the fact that he’s ONE OF the smartest men in the entire series.
The potential to play with characters for an AU (in case you have not noticed, I barely care about canon, my life is fanfiction and I only care about canon for fanfiction potential) where things aren’t the same, is amazing. And the potential for stopping the genocide of an entire group of POC people (btw, Death Watch was the one that ordered the massacre on Galidraan, so, they’re 100% not redeemable imo) is amazing. I can’t write a Star Trek fic where they destroy Vulcan because the extinction of an entire species based off Jewish people makes me want to die. It’s similar enough here that I give a massive amount of thought to whether or not I will let Galidraan happen in any AU I write (btw if someone has some ideas about that for the Animagus AU, I’m open to talk about it, cause like I just said, I never want that shit to happen, but I just don’t even know what’s happening with Jango in that AU at all) and that’s that on that.
It’s not so much Jango himself. It’s potential for a fix it, and it’s refusing to let an entire group of antifa POC people die, and it’s usually deciding to make an AU where the senate doesn’t have as much oversight over the Jedi, and it’s deciding to save Dooku from that specific incident that fractured the man so badly that it was never Qui-Gon’s death that made him fall, that was just the shove over the edge that he needed to get there.
I do love Jango as a character. He was interesting and he could have been absolutely amazing. I got attached to him for the fix-it potential, and now I’m attached because I wish he was more fleshed out, and I wish he was in my fics, and I’m absolutely delighted with every single fic he’s in where he’s a good person, and that’s that on that. I just like world building, fix it, and Jango Fett. Obi-Wan may be my main focal point in just about anything, but Jango Fett is absolutely amazing and full of potential.
Also, thank you for the compliment and the question both. I never realized how much I had to say about him.

day 2! please god, let this be a better episode than whatever yesterday was. 😕😕😕
plain text version here. 
oufffff shivaaaay, such screamy. 😣😣😣
Tumblr media
ohhhhhhh shit. i thought this was part of the "plan" he made with anika, but nope. BIG BROTHER KNOWS. AND HE IS NOT HAPPY. 😬😬😬

Tumblr media
i'm totally relating with shivaay's teeth-grinding waala gussa. kyunki is nikkame ne kaam hi aisa kiya hai. 😠😠😠
before anyone accuses shivaay of being a hypocrite considering how he himself got married, lemme jump to his defense real quick: shivaay's always seen himself as the big bad wolf who does all the dirty work to protect the fam. he does the things he does SO THAT omRu can maintain their innocence and go through life as "the good ones" who never have the bear the weight of such actions on their consciences. i imagine he's very disappointed and angry that om too, fucked up at the start of his marriage in almost the exact same way he did (which is something he still hasn't forgiven himself for, even if anika has.) 😔😔😔
... suddenly subha's nose looks... not that different???? or have i just gotten used to it? 🤔🤔🤔
pffffffft, shut it buamaa. at this rate, shareef toh bas rudra bacha hai. warne baaki sab ke sab... khair chodo. 😒😒😒
"hum teeno ne kuch decide kiya tha, ki ek dusre se kuch chupaayenge nahi"
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OK SURE SHIVAAY. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
says the guy who JUST THIS MORNING was avoiding rudra's calls so that he didn't find out sahil had been kidnapped. lmfao, ok NOW you guys can go ahead and call him a hypocrite. 😊😊😊
ouff shivaay, i know this is 45 min ka episode and tujhe lamba kheenchna hai, but JUST SPIT IT OUT ALREADY. 😒😒😒
lol om and jhanvi's “oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit” faces. 😆😆😆
yup, the chairman of Organization for Upliftment of Oberoi Bahus is carrying out his duties much seriously. 😊😊😊
lmao pinky's face be like "ab yeh nayi gareeb kaun hai???" 😂😂😂
lmaoooooooo, way to drop a bomb on dadi, billu. socha bhi nahi ki woh buzurg hai, and the last time you pulled this shit nearly killed her???? she had to go on like, 4 theerth yatras to get over it.  🙃🙃🙃
