#removing helmets

[pianju]

“the armorer is evil and is working with moff gideon”

the armorer watched the empire slaughter the original covert on nevarro and absolutely refused to abandon her forge out of respect for the dead. she then had to build an entirely new covert from the fucking dust (and paz vizsla, i guess) which probably took her YEARS to do. not to mention, she has had to relocate her entire. fucking. forge. THREE TIMES in the process. she’s also ruthlessly decked imps and pirates (who were hired by the empire) several times as we’ve seen. yes, she’s strict with din, but who wouldn’t be? she witnessed the entirety of the covert lay down their lives for him and grogu. and even after all was said and done, she welcomed din, grogu, AND bo with open arms once they were reedeemed. i think it would be so incredibly out of character for her to be this scheming mastermind working for the empire. she’s someone who embodies such strong heart and discipline; she’s an amazing representation of their strain of mandalorian culture. tldr: don’t EVERR talk about my WIFE that way.

#as for allowing bo to remove her helmet? #she's gay. #that's literally the reason #LMFAO in all seriousness i could write essays about her she's amazing #the armorer #emily swallow #the mandalorian #mando #mandalorian #mandalorians #mandolorian #star wars #star war #starwars #star wars the mandalorian #din djarin #grogu #baby yoda #bo katan kryze #bo katan #nitearmor #armorer #paz vizsla #paz vizla #mando s3 #mando s3 spoilers #mandalorian s3 #mandalorian s3 spoilers

DINS COVERT IS NOT A CULT. IT IS AN ORTHODOX RELIGIOUS GROUP THAT STEMMED FROM DEATH WATCH BUT JUST BECAUSE IT ORIGINATED FROM DEATH WATCH DOES NOT MAKE IT A CULT. STOP CALLING IT A CULT. STOP WANTING DIN TO GO AGAINST HIS BELIEFS. STOP WANTING DIN TO TAKE OFF THE HELMET BECAUSE OF HIS BELIEFS. NORMALIZE RELIGIOUS RELATIONSHIPS. NORMALIZE PEOPLE RECONNECTING WITH THEIR FAITH. NORMALIZE RELIGIOUS HEAD/BODY COVERINGS. STOP CALLING HIS COVERT A CULT.

#just saw another post calling din’s covert a cult and i had to rage real bad #if you believe dins covert is a cult 😐 #star wars #the mandalorian #din djarin #y’all are so happy to call his covert a cult and want him to remove his helmet #but GOD FORBID yall tell hijabis that their religion is for terrorists and tell them to take off their hijab #astaghfirullah #oil.

They aren't very good at this

I blame discord for this: as in everyone was in such great agreement that it would be very cool and full of great symbolic potential if Paz was a Zabrak under the helmet, meanwhile I decided to double down on a joke and make him big and blue within his shell as well. So he is a Pantoran now with a fantastic pastel beard (and Din got the full update finally too!)

Check out more posts in my Mandalorian meets Hades hobby project at the link ;)

#nobody judge me for whatever dialogue I come up with on my own please TTnTT #dinpaz #pazdin #paz x din #paz vizsla #din djarin #hades AU #Pantoran Paz #the mandalorian fanart #my art #the mandalorian #now that he has a face I should probably update Paz's sigil huh? #If only I'd decided on this a week ago huh? XD oh well #I'm just a hopeless sucker for Paz's reaction to Din removing his helmet and coming to terms with his New Way to be #whatever you choose I cannot bear the thought that my soul should be separated from yours #in a romantic or platonic way I don't particularly care #they are a package deal for me in any shape or form

#ok so obviously the parallel between suzaku removing his helmet to reveal his identity vs shooting zero's mask to reveal lelouch's identity #but also suzaku intending to sacrifice himself to protect lelouch with his gas mask vs lelouch sacrificing himself/giving suzaku the mask #to live on as zero. do you understand my vision #suzalulu #code geass #lelouch vi britannia #lelouch lamperouge #suzaku kururugi #kururugi suzaku #mod edits #canon #lelouch of the rebellion #lelouch of the rebellion r2 #1x01 #1x25 #2x25 #parallels

#susi art #megaman #protoman #headcanon that the only 'removable' thing is his helmet. for the rest is actually part of him. #also headcanon that things are extremely bright for him w/o his shades

So people have been arguing over whether the children of the watch is a cult or not. It is. It was kept relatively vague in season one, only giving hints when Din was rescued by members of death watch, that only people familiar with them would pick up. But the whole din's-in-an-extremist-cult plotline has been picking up since season 2, and will likely come to a head this season.

Before you get angry at me I would ALSO like to say that the show clearly isn't condemning Din's religion. They do not condemn his face covering, they do not mock his religious beliefs, they do not treat his beliefs like something that needs to be stripped from him for Character Development. The show is specifically criticizing the children of the watch and their religious extremism. But you know what they ALSO criticize? Bo-Katan's lack of belief.

The Children of the Watch are religious extremists. Not because they wear helmets, but because there is no choice in wearing helmets. Because one lapse is grounds for instant dismissal from the cult, with absolutely no nuance. They are extremists because they view those that don't follow their extremely strict interpretation of the creed to be non-Mandalorian, despite Mandalorian being a culture as well as a religion, and despite other interpretations of the religion.

The Children of the Watch are wrong, unless you actually believe that Din was no longer a Mandalorian when he took his helmet off. Unless you believe that Bo-Katan isn't a Mandalorian, or that the others who take their helmets off aren't Mandalorian.

I think what the show is leading to is a compromise between Bo-Katan's nihilistic lack of belief and the children of the watch's extremism. I believe a middle ground will be found, where to take off your helmet is a personal choice, but the religious decision not to is respected. Where nuance exists in the religion, and the religion is brought back to the people of mandalore as a whole.

#the mandalorian #also check the definition of a cult that is literally what the cotw are #back in season one we were allowed to interpret the no helmet removal rule as nuanced #hence why tcotw were less obviously a cult then #we can no longer make this interpretation obv

sorry to be doing mcu throwback complaints again and EXTRA sorry for it to be about cacw and aou, sorry, i just am thinking again that if marvel had. in aou. committed to letting steve rogers see that captain america graffiti calling him a fascist with his own two eyes i would have forgiven many of their subsequent deeds and crimes

#like hey. hey shh. cacw but they engage with the politics of it and also have in a previous movie made him look at that graffiti. chefs kiss #WHAT IF THEY LET HIM MAKE A SPEECH. CACW BUT IF THEY LET STEVE TALK. UTOPIAN #i know asking that of mcu is like asking a toddler to build you a house but its just SO INTERESTING. TO ME #THAT IT WAS MADE AND FILMED AND THEN SCRAPPED #that they had steve's reaction be to just remove the helmet identifying him with that symbol and Continuing On #it's just interesting is all i am saying it's Interesting #note: i am obviously not saying steve's a fascist i just think it would be INTERESTING for Little Guy Of WW2 Fame to see it with his eyes #maybe i'm just still mad that my captain america press conference was stolen and turned into a peggy funeral idk. sigh #i'm done i'm done i promise. i don't have fatws open in another tab letting it microwave my brain. dont worry #kayvswords #mcu desperately trying to tell stories without telling an actual story is so genuinely fascinating to me #they want the themes and aesthetics without the substance but like. it's a story. it'll say something whether you want it to or not #idk idk idk. fatws is also i think peak mcu politics it's very funny. fascinating company. theyre so bad at movie #WHY DID CACW HAPPEN LIKE THAT. WHO THOUGHT IT WAS SMART. christ god #i feel like i should tag this as something so i don't get jumped but idk if that's still the vibe here kfdjglkjdfh

Armorer: Bo-Katan Kryze you are redeemed and accepted into our covert.

Bo-Katan: But I didn’t swear your creed.

Armorer: I know. But you have still given us a boon and helped one of ours. You don’t have to swear it, but you’re welcomed here.

Two episodes later

Armorer: Bo-Katan. Remove your helmet.

Bo-Katan: Um??

Armorer: You can walk both ways to reunite our people and bring them back to follow all paths together.

Bo-Katan: lol that’s a terrifying request thanks.

‘Fans’: Why did Bo get to take her helmet off but Din is apostate if he does??

Me: bitch did you not just hear them??? He swore the creed and she didn’t. Armorer is trying to use loopholes to keep Bo without forcing her to swear so they can join everyone. She. Didn’t. Swear. Their. Creed.

#star wars #the mandalorian spoilers #the mandalorian #bo katan kryze #the armorer #like y’all got so many complaints just calm down it’s all about the loopholes #Bo didn’t swear the creed she’s there through loopholes and having the only braincell they’ve seen in ages #armorer isn’t flimsy and showing favoritism she clearly has din as a favorite okay #she’s just like ‘lol we need to get back to community’ #and is using connections to do it #that doesn’t mean she doesn’t like Bo either tho she clearly had a moment before asking her to remove her helmet

Gabriel but underneath that armour he's bird demon howl from howls moving castle

Had to look it up cause I don’t watch anime

Approved, but without the human face

#the only time i have watched anime is when my brother forces me to lol #I’m allergic to faces don’t mind me #anyway #in my crazy mind the helmet is his face but it is also removable which doesn’t make any sense but it does to me #there might be something under there or there is nothing at all #but it’s not human #it can change based on feelings #if he can change the color of his armor then it must be part of him in some way right #and if his wings and halo can appear and disappear as well.. #ok I’m getting off topic here #non voice post #ask #asks

Soldier TF2 is a silly little guy but only the version that constantly wears his helmet, the moment he takes off his helmet he just immediately becomes a different guy to me.

The helmet-less version does look like the type of guy who would kill a bunch of people but not in a funny way, he genuinely looks like a war general instead of someone just cosplaying a war general.

I once read a fic where Soldier turned out to be a magic helmet possessing a human body and that's the most canonically accurate take about him ever.

Soldier TF2's helmet is his face please don't remove it, it'll make me sad.

#team fortress 2 #tf2 #tf2 soldier #this is /gen by the way #moving soldiers helmet is the same as removing pyro's mask. it just doesn't feel right #if anyone can send me the link that Soldier fanfic please do it's so funny/pos
