I don't want to say that EVERY time Din sees Kate in a new outfit he walks into a solid object but it happens a LOT
New costume? Wall.
Ratty ass pajamas? Trips over the ship's ramp.
Armor? Straight into Boba.
Business casual? Speeder.
Fancy gala dress? Right into his own ship.
Fancy gala SUIT? whacks his head on a metal bar.
Sundress? Rock.
Jean shorts? A Droid.
This man is a MESS.
To be fair Kate does this every time she sees Din and Din has like ONE outfit sooo

The diminutive of someone's name in mando'a is adding ika to the end so I'd like to present for all of you:
Din calling Kate Kat'ika mostly in his head until she gets injured and he calls her that out loud

I do honestly love how the internet kind of collectively decided Din was So Good In Bed because honestly....that man is going to be a MESS the moment he gets extended skin-to-skin contact of any kind, you think he's going to know what to do with himself during SEX? lmao no fam. He's going to be sweating and swearing and unable to complete a single sentence someone is gonna need to pin him down

😭😭😭😭 Din Djarin thinking Kate is Kate Bishop's family name and absolutely dying inside when he realizes he's been calling her by her given name this entire time something that is very intimate and personal!!!!!! He's just been SAYING it ALL OVER THE GALAXY like a madman!!!
Kate ALSO dying inside because she thought they were on a first name basis and she's apparently been calling him his last name this whole time he told her TWO NAMES and she PICKED THE WRONG ONE she picked the 'hello fellow associate' name oh god

Din, like, covertly armoring Kate, so covertly that he doesn’t fully realize what he’s doing right away. He gets her a chestplate because she explains about how archers sometimes wear those anyway, and that’s just common sense with how much she gets shot at. And the first vambrace is for the same reason, she already says she sometimes has them anyway, he’s just trying to make sure she has everything she’d have in her universe to make sure she’s the most effective partner/child minder/guardian she can be. And the second vambrace is just to balance her out.
This is around the time Din realizes he gets a warm sense of delight seeing Kate in armor--his armor, armor he provided for her--and he just kind of rolls with the feeling, doesn’t look to closely at it because Kate is busy getting shot in the leg which means he has to find armor for her legs and maybe some better boots since she really likes kicking people and she’s mentioned getting some sort of woven beskar or chain mail to cover Grogu’s baby sling for extra protection and that’s around the time Peli gives him a knowing wink and Din realizes that in a lot of parts of the galaxy this would be considered a courtship and/or proposal and Kate certainly isn’t aware of this and he did it entirely on accident
at least he thinks he did? in some ways Kate is like a skittish lothcat so in some ways he’s been holding his hand out to her, waiting patiently for her to trust him which is why he did the armor piece by piece, but look that was just to protect her, he didn’t mean anything by it but that!! Peli is holding Grogu and the looks from both of him are very disbelieving 
This is about the same time Kate realizes this might be a thing but maybe it’s just a Mandalorian friendly thing but she’s noticed he gets extra still when she’s putting the pieces of armor on and maybe she’s imagining the way he gets really close when they’re testing the fit of a new piece and the way he gets breathless when they’re sparring so she gets used to it--
Fennec and Boba have some kind of group text with Kate’s team and they all think this is the most tragic and hilarious thing they’ve ever witnessed

okay okay but consider, re: your latest dinkate post... kate seeing grogu's lil purple handprint on din's chest plate and deciding to add her own... din is Doomed 😩💕
Kate doing it as a Funny and not realizing how incredibly possessive it is vs Kate lowkey doing it on purpose because she has feelings but doesn't want to talk about them and Din gets to hide behind the helmet so she doesn't realize he has feelings for her and that he is absolutely insane over her doing this vs they are still kind of feeling out their feelings for each other and this is deliberate and understood and purposeful FIGHT
Kate putting her handprint on Din's chest and casually revealing the mudhorn she got tattooed on her shoulder and Din is completely useless the rest of the day. She's bluescreened him.

Just thinking about Din finding the perfect shade of purple to paint the vambrace he's gotten for Kate and grogu making a little tiny gremlin handprint in it and also being a little judgy at his dad who is clearly in denial about how much he likes Kate, yeah ok you " just saw the paint" it was "something you've had on your ship for ages" and " oh she looks good in purple and it's her favorite color no I hadn't noticed" ok dad sure and then Grogu puts a purple handprint on his dad's chest plate

Trying to decide if Kate would get a mudhorn tattoo on her shoulder where Din's signet is

Kate meets the Mandalorian, and it goes a little like this:
She’s fighting with her team--all of them, they’re, like, an honest-to-god real superteam now--and they’re fighting what should be just another run-of-the-mill monster. Another day on the job for her, a fun night out for Billy and Teddy (Wanda’s watching little Kate), but, you know, an average mission. Something they could do in their sleep.
Suddenly, though, it’s not an average mission. Patriot is yelling something, Kate can’t make out the words, and she is suddenly, violently, thrown backwards--
--into something sharp, and metal, and enclosed, and very much not the green-sand beach she’d been fighting on seconds before. 
Ow.
Kate reaches up and prods her forehead gently, wincing as she draws her fingers back, streaked with blood. 
Fun.
She struggles to her feet, decides against it, and sinks on to a bench built into the wall. It’s a ship, though if it’s a water kind or a space kind she can’t tell--just lots of metal bulkheads and crates stacked against walls. It has a lived-in feel, even if there’s no sense of personality to it.
Blood is trickling down her face, which means Kate hit the wall harder than she realized and also that she needs to find some fabric kind of thing to stop it from getting in her eyes. There are some neatly folded pieces of cloth on a table within arm’s reach, but they’re suspiciously greasy.
Something creaks.
Something clangs.
Someone is coming.
Kate is back on her feet in an instant, swiping at her forehead with her sleeve. The material doesn’t absorb anything but at least pushes the blood away from her eyes so she can focus on the hatch where the sound is coming from.
There’s a low voice, deep, talking to someone, but the rush of adrenalin keeps Kate from making out the words. She has an arrow loose in her fingers, bow not drawn, nothing aimed--she’s ready but she doesn’t want to invite a fight--when the speaker finally appears.
They might be a person, a person underneath a gleaming suit of armor complete with helmet, a person in a gleaming suit of armor who is now pointing a gun at Kate with one hand, something small and green cradled in their other elbow--
It looks kind of like Yoda. Which can’t be right.
So, she absolutely hit her head harder than she realized because she notices all that before the words the suit of armor is yelling at her make an impact, like they’re on a delay. 
“How did you get on my ship?”
“What kind of ship is it?” Kate asks. Stupid, stupid. 
“What?”
“Water kind or space kind?”
The helmet tilts at her, and the you are a moron vibes coming off of him?--him--are absolutely unnecessary. “What are you doing on my ship? Did Moff Gideon send you?”
“Who?” Kate’s head is throbbing. “Listen, can you put the gun down? Getting uncomfortable over here.” Neck, armpit, groin.
“Why don’t I just dump you out in space? Then you don’t have to worry about the gun.”
“Why don’t you put the gun down or I shoot you?”
Another head tilt. “With that?”
She can’t suppress an eye roll. Typical. “Look. I don’t know where I am, or how I got here, or who you are, and I think I have a head injury, so if you could just find some chill, I’d appreciate it.”
“You broke into my ship!”
Kate’s eyes drift to the green bundle in the guy’s arm and the air in the room changes immediately. She doesn’t know how she knows, just that she does--even this little amount of interest in the--the ancient baby Yoda-looking thing--is a threat, and this guy is going to kill her for it.
So she shoots him first.
It’s a nice shot, as far as Kate’s concerned, nice as in kind, unless his brand of humanoid keeps something important in the armpit area, like, she could have gone neck or groin, those are the other places the armor doesn’t really go, but anyway, she shoots him in the armpit and rushes him, surprise giving her just enough time to knock the gun out of his hand and twist the arrow enough to bring him to his knees. 
That’s all the gas she’s got left. Kate collapses on top of the armor and the person in it, putting as much of her weight on the gun arm as possible. The three of them--armor guy, green baby, and her--are in a pile on the floor. Kate takes a second to press her head to the silvery shoulder piece, cold metal soothing her throbbing head. “Please, dude, I don’t know who you are, or why people breaking on to your ship is a thing, but like--”
The green baby stretches his arms out to her, making grabby hands before climbing out of his dad’s arm, climbing over a slippery chestplate, and tapping a little clawed hand against the massive lump on her head. 
It stops hurting all at once, the ringing in her ears silencing--even her neck stops stiffening up. 
“Huh,” she says, tilting her head to get a better look at the kid. “Thank you, magic baby.”
The helmet turns between her and the kid. “Huh.”

For the OTP meme: DinKate 10 and 11 please 💖Sabrina
Love languages:
ALWAYS ALWAYS TENDERLY BANDAGING EACH OTHER'S WOUNDS. Also? Very big on physical contact. They have to be deliberate about it because helmet, but constant little touches. Also din being whatever kate needs in a fight--a wall, a shield, a ladder, a table, a blanket, a bed, HE WILL BE IT. Because, controversial opinion time, DIN IS A SUB. Or a switch probably but very service subby, he LOVES getting tossed around by Kate, are you even kidding me.
But Din is like. Caretaker Central. So any way he can be the provider is The Good Shit. Like, if he was rich he’d be her sugar daddy and if they could settle in one place he’d be Trophy Spouse. but he can’t do either of those things so he’s working with what he’s got. 
Do they get married? Who proposes and how? 
MARRIED BY FOOD MARRIED BY FOOD!!!! 
Or ok any cultural differences marriage where Kate finally bites the bullet and brings it up and Din is all ????? We're already?? Married??? And Kate has to Sit Down for a second. I think mando marriages involve exchange of small gifts and a promise. Din has been married to Kate longer than Kate has been married to Din. Which now that Kate KNOWS she feels BAD about it. They have to get married on earth so Kate's fam can celebrate so they have like three anniversaries. There's some cultural understanding barriers so Boba and Fennec walk Din down the aisle. Maybe lift his helmet off like a veil. Grogu is flower girl but eats all the flowers. Goose/Chewie is there for some reason and he and gogurt are besties. Baby Rey starts ripping apart an iron man suit Tony brought just in case. Its chaos. Its wonderful
(in a rebel!kate AU they get married for political reasons, so one of them can’t be arrested or something, and ALSO accidentally married by different customs)

616!kate finally getting back to her universe and Din and Grogu come through with her
and just like. Grogu riding Lucky around like a horse while slurping down his breakfast of caviar that Kate stole from her dad
Din and Kate are sitting at her crappy kitchen table sipping coffee all sleep-mussed and bleary eyed and adoring at each other
Kate still gets mushy that he takes the helmet off in front of her and it’s just sweet and domestic
later Grogu has a playdate with some other super-kids
they walk hand-in-hand through central park with Grogu sitting on Din’s shoulder (sometimes he reaches out to Kate, but the only part of her her can really reach is her hair so sometimes he grips his lil claws in her hair to keep her close) and nobody looks at them weird because it’d be weirder to NOT see someone in a mask or a weird suit of armor, maybe he’s like, a DIY iron man, or like Deadpool, whatever, not my business.
Clint is STOKED to be BABY FUTZING YODA’s vodka aunt, gets him a lil hawkeye shirt and a purple sequin skirt and some rad little baby sunglasses and a boba tea and an arrow-patterned baby wrap that Din will use more than Kate because he abides by the ABCs (Always Be Carrying...your baby)
they fall asleep in a pile on Kate’s couch while watching a wolf rescue show

the first time Din and Kate have sex is after she blows up an imperial base with medical experimentation facilities. Kate is full of righteous fury that can only be quenched by arson and pyrotechnics
she’s standing with her hands on her hips, limned by the flames, and Din’s just like. huh. well, apparently this is a thing.

On one hand, Kate being Force sensitive explains a lot, but on the other hand Kate should never have powers, ever

Re: Kate using Mando as a an immovable object for shooting purposes—Since Mando can’t make out with Kate bc helmet, instead he backs her into the hull of the ship, gently caresses her face, squeezes her hip, and quietly tells her in great detail exactly how hot he thinks that was. How does she get back at him? 💖Sabrina
fuck, okay, fuck, I have been trying so hard to not be horny with this AU (because that’s my MO, crackship -> immediate horniness) but this is just BAITING me, hnnnng
So first of all there’s the tender response-pressing his forehead to hers and just breathing softly, hands heavy on her waist. They get back to the ship and he gathers his clan to him, holding and breathing them in, sinking into the fact that they can all keep each other safe
then there’s what you suggested--they can’t do much about it right away, but frankly, that’s....hummmm....not accurate. It basically depends on 2 things--is the Yodito asleep or being looked after, and if they’re alone. Because Kate might be cool as a cucumber, but Din is still amped up from prepping for a fight that didn’t happen and he wants her to know just how much he appreciates that. He’ll tuck one of his gloves away and use his bare hand to stroke the apple of Kate’s cheek, wipe the sweat away from her forehead. He just presses into her, all of his bulk between her and the rest of the world, and he watches how she swallows so hard he can almost hear it. His free hand squeezes her hip, grazing a fading bruise that he left there a few days ago, his voice hoarse as he tells her that’s one of the most impressive things he’s ever seen.
So okay, Kate’s not cool as a cucumber but she’s trying to be professional, which is hindered by the fact that Din is pressing his thigh between her legs at perfect grinding height, which she’s not going to do but then Din starts saying things, like how she’s the best shot he’s ever seen and how good she did.. She can’t see his eyes but somehow knows he’s staring at her, and that...is much hotter than it should be, but it’s just kind of part-and-parcel with the whole Mando persona, this hulking, intimidating presence that everyone fears and respects and all of his focus is lasered in on her. Telling her how impressive she is, how good her shots were, Kate’s never thought she had a praise kink before, but now? There’s just something about having someone that competent and terrifying, who almost everyone is scared of, telling her she’s a better shot than him, that just does something to her (and of course it’s a big Thing for Din, too. That she’s someone who outshoots him, who could take him in a physical fight, and here she’s just letting him press her up against his--her--their--ship, that kind of bald trust isn’t something her experiences all that often, and for it to be given so freely, so sweetly? He’s out of his fucking mind with it, he never wants to let it go)
So sometimes they get off like that, grinding against one another, Din murmuring praises in Kate’s ear, that she’s terrifying and impressive and he can’t wait to get his mouth on her, make her come until she cries, until she can’t remember his name or her name, just the feeling of his mouth on her. And sometimes she says things back, like how she’s going to fuck him open nice and slow, until he’s begging for it, until the only word he knows is “please” 
and then there’s this happening when Grogu is being watched by anyone, probably Boba and Fennec because chaos!grandparents ftw and Din doesn’t have to wait, he just backs her into the ship
and it’s like, Din wants to be inside her and wants her inside him, he wants anything and everything and he trusts her enough to ask for what he wants and trust her to give it to him, but in a situation where he’s impressed and awed by Kate, he kind wants to worship her, you know, so he’ll strip her slowly, peeling off every layer of clothing and armor, laying her out somewhere--probably not the shitty cot he sleeps on, not big enough, maybe the cockpit with blankets spread out, but someplace soft. A place she can spread out and he can look his fill, where he can take off his gloves and touch, soft skin and callouses and scars, his to see and touch because she trusts him. (and his to taste, too, to see and be seen when the helmet comes off, to be vulnerable and exposed and to trust one another with it)
He kisses her fingers, her palms, her wrists, her arms up to the corners of her eyes, a gentle press of lips against her eyelids that flutter shut as he gets near, every part of her that protected their clan today
and sometimes he doesn’t get that far, Kate beating him to the punch. She kisses every piece of his armor as she helps him take it off, as thanks for protecting the man underneath it. She kisses every part of him as it’s revealed, the chest and back that shielded her, the shoulder that steadied her, the hands that held her up. caring for his body not as a weapon or a tool but for the simple fact that it’s his, something Din has never managed to figure out how to do. Kate praises his body not just because of what it does but because it houses him. Like how she cares for his armor not because it’s beskar or because of any messages it sends, but because it protects him, and no other reason
i guess what i’m saying is that they try to be all “i’m horny” but in reality it’s like “i’m soft, let me take care of you”
