The chronic inconsistencies and retcons in the worldbuilding for Mandalore is simultaneously frustrating and on a meta level sort of (accidentally?) clever.

I mean, I know this is mostly due to having no single writer so everyone is just doing whatever. But because of the in-universe events, it sort of works anyway.

You have a culture that’s old and fractured and prone to sectarianism, which already begets a lack of cohesive historical and contemporary narrative, and then you have their cities carpet bombed, their peoples scattered, their records and schools destroyed. It makes sense that their own internal mythology is corrupted and exploited by any and every mandalorian faction with an axe to grind, that historical revisionism is rife. Why wouldn’t Bo Katan’s followers not re-invent her history? Why wouldn’t the darksaber take on a new mythology, which is applied retroactively? This is a game of telephone where everyone has an agenda.

Recently I watched this tiktok about writing disabled characters and one of the tips was that your character's disability needs to have a plot point/purpose in the story.

As someone who's disabled, let me explain why I don't agree.

Now obviously if you want to add that plot aspect go ahead (within reason and respectfully) but I don't think it should be required.

Because it's not accurate. In real life, there's not a plot point/purpose of me being disabled. It's simply just how I exist. My disabilities don't serve a purpose. It's just how I am.

And I think that implying that disabilities need to serve a purpose goes down that slippery slope of "your disability is only acceptable if it benefits something somehow" or "this disabled person is only valid because their disability can help others in some way, be exploited maybe"

You wouldn't say this about any other trait. Or at least perhaps you shouldn't. People who have certain traits or other aspects of them are literally just existing, not to serve a plot point.

Din Djarin + Chapter 8: Redemption

One of the best things about The Mandalorian is how it spends multiple episodes making you intrigued about and intimidated by the main character and then he finally removes his helmet and he's literally just:

I liked to believe this was Tommy's internal thoughts when Buck told him he was trying to get his attention 🤭

i've always read "canon-divergence" it as it follows canon at a certain point but then proceeds to an alternate path and "alternate universe" as what is says - a completely different universe but i've seen some say they're interchangeable

do you guys find them interchangeable??

imagine din djarin and luke skywalker going to a party at boba's place after he kills bib fortuna. boba would tell din that he can bring anyone he wants so he brings a fucking jedi knight because he has no clue what the plot of a star war is

What's that poem about the cockroach and the moth where the cockroach is like "I wish I've ever wanted anything the way that moth wanted to burn itself up in that lantern" because we had to read that in high school and it still fucks me up to this day
