Now, I'm not entirely sure what came first, the tcw show or all of the novels expanding on Mandalorian culture, but nonetheless it annoys me so much whenever i watch tcw and they depict the Mandalorian people, one of the most diverse cultures in starwars, all with blue eyes and blonde hair. Mandalorian is a culture, a religion, not a race. A creed anyone of any species or origin can join.
The Mandalorians were so prolific in adoption into their creed, that it lives on despite their ancestors -the Taung- having died out. All you even have to do in Mandalorian culture to adopt someone is speak a vow, (The gai bal manda) which is recognised by Mandalorian law. (and I'm distraught that in the Mandalorian show we didn't get to see Din speak this vow to Grogu, but I digress.)
The show also presents Sundari, Mandalore's capital at the time, as so... clinical and bare? Yes the new pacifist Mandalorians have foregone the war worshipping ways that founded their culture, but the worship of war also bred a celebration of life and relishing each moment and day you get -Shereshoy being the term for it. From a culture like this I'd expect a little more... soul to their home.
They dress everyone in such plain (lack of) colours too!! When the pacifist Mandalorians discarded their armour, did they discard the cultural meanings or importance of colour too? (And I'd love to see New Mandalorians treating their clothing with as much respect and reverence as they traditionally did armour, following the Resol'nare's tenet of Beskar'gam in their own, new way. I have so many thoughts on how the Resol'nare can apply to a peaceful lifestyle, but ultimately I know that's far too much detail for tcw to have delved into, and I'm sure i wouldn't be the first to talk about it, if only there was a show solely about Mandalorians that could explore their culture in such depth-)
Ever since I had a hyperfix on Mandalorian culture a year or two ago I haven't been able to consume Mandalorian related content the same way, and I am trying to resurrect the intense interest because it ended before I was able to learn Mando'a, and by goodness I think it might be working.

Well, you see right through me
I don't wanna wait, not anymore
Do you see straight through that?”

You’re turn Kren! You can answer any of them or all of them LOL
I debated on who to do for this, but I chose to go with one of the twst lads who has been on my mind a lot recently ◆
❤️🔥: Who tends to take the lead with showing affection?
Cater and I are both quite affectionate people, so both of us!! though it kind of depends. there are times that he's a little... shall we say, taken aback by his affection being reciprocated? it sometimes takes him a moment, but after his brain reboots, he meets the level of affection in return - verbally and/or physically ♡
🗣️: Who’s the one that will ramble on about their highly specific interest while the other just sits back and nods along?
again, both of us! I often am the listener more often than the rambler, but when I do ramble, he's always more than happy to listen! and since we share a couple of interests, sometimes we bounce back and forth, too
thank you for the ask! these were so cute
