#OMG THERE’S A MYTHOSAUR

[daughterofthequeen]

Let me tell you something, if Din comes out riding that Mythosaur by the end of season 3 I’m not going to be anymore good. Like the screaming that was let out when I seen that scene was amazing.

[lukedjarinsblog]

still hilarious to me how everyone were talking about how will din do his bath on the living waters to seek for redemption and some were like "is it going to be hot" "is he going like, kind of naked or something""we will have a scene of him without the helmet" but instead what we got is him being dragged to the bottom of the water and bo-katan saving his ass for the fourth time like we fr were not expecting that

[fanfoolishness]

Random spoilery thoughts for The Apostate based on my deliriously watching it way after my bedtime last night, but before rewatching it tonight with the husband:

Was very excited to see Bo-Katan’s helmet in the credits. She’s really going places this season, huh?

Loved seeing glimpses of the helmet ritual. I was worried that the kid was going to be baby Din, even though he looked absolutely nothing like him; I was relieved to see it was present day, but I still would’ve liked another flashback to kid!Din. Also, does Din just not have flashbacks anymore? I kind of miss them.

A little salty we didn’t see any Mando’a in this whole ritual. But, I loved seeing the Armorer more. She’s always an intense, mesmerizing presence and even though I now distrust her (is she Force-sensitive? the way she somehow realized that croc-monster was coming… not to mention some of her other appearances where she seems to know more than people are telling her) I always love seeing her do her thing.

I want to try and write something about Din wishing he was welcome for Grogu’s sake (so he can be around other Mandalorians besides Din and discover the community for himself) but can’t seem to figure it out.

Wish we saw some more non-human Mandalorians though :(

SPACE WHALES! Purrgil, yes? Man I still need to watch Rebels. But I obstinately want to watch all of Clone Wars first (we made it to season 5! We’re so close!)

I love that Grogu was both entranced by them but also a little scared because they were just so vast. Hence the need for a cuddle, which Din did not object to.

HIGH MAGISTRATE GREEF KARGA, please, if we have to spin off more characters from The Mandalorian to get to their own TV shows, we need to see Greef just Carl Weathersing around. Everything with him is just delightful! Let his cloak get longer every episode, please please please.

Not sure at all about this harebrained IG-11 idea, Din, but I loved that we could hear some of the music that used to play for Kuiil in the theme there, and that Din straight-up called IG his friend.

DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN WHAT WAS THAT I did not expect DROID HORROR here!!!

Love to see Nevarro all grown up! Greef may still be a little shady and obviously self-serving but I love that he wants to bring other people along with him too. The more wealth around in general the more for him too, right? So of course Nevarro needs to get respectable and dank farrik, he’s just the man to do it.

I’m glad Cara Dune didn’t die on the way back to her home planet. I’ll miss her presence as a friend and comrade to Din but I won’t miss Gina Carano’s bullshittery. Maybe we can meet a buff female Mando this season to add to the roster if we have to be adding new characters.

Big man in tiny room 😍

GROGU NO omg I love that he is just as awful as real toddlers sometimes 😂

…and yet Din thinks it’s time for him to learn about hyperspace navigation what even is this parenting technique

I still miss the Razor Crest, but I like that the Naboo thing (what is it called again?) makes Din even more menacing as a pilot

Dad Is My Seatbelt ❤️

I enjoy the mossy pirate. He is rather disgusting but I’ve never seen a design quite like that before.

Bo-Katan really has nothing better to do these days than lecture Din, does she? I love how disillusioned she’s become with the Darksaber. “Just wave that thing around and they’ll do whatever you say.” I also love that she calls out Din’s tribe for being superstitious and weird again. Like we all know Din is gonna ride a mythosaur by the end of this season or next and he’ll find the mines and they better be super cool, but I’m still feeling solidarity with Bo-Katan, resident skeptic

I just need Din to really sit down and think, “Do I regret taking my helmet off? It was always to help Grogu. To try and keep him alive, to try and find him, to say goodbye to him. Don’t I owe loyalty to him, too? Do I feel like an apostate?” Figure your shit out, sir!

But in the meantime, keep proudly telling everyone you meet your son’s horrible name. I made myself laugh for a minute straight when I realized Greef is over here thinking Din named Grogu that on purpose

Plotwise, definitely the most scattered premiere of the show, and because of it, not the most effective episode. I’d give it a B - perfectly enjoyable and some really fun, surprising moments, but it’s not asking the big questions that it keeps hinting at just yet. I hope they get there.

[iamscoby]

OMG this episode!!! I've approximately written about it in Living Waters and an AU version in Rules to play by, and there those things were on screen: aquatic mythosaur, and Din and Bo-Katan in a queerplatonic arranged marriage!

[anakinspraisekink]

omg I love homework break and now I’m thinking … maybe anakin’s in an oratory class and he practices his speech while he’s sitting on obi-wan’s face, and every once in a while obi-wan stops licking his rim to provide some constructive criticism

This prompt is from literal months ago, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about it!! So I finally got a chance to get back to this series again and it's very fun <3

This is also published on ao3!

Warning for Master/Padawan relationship, light verbal humiliation, spanking

For once during his practicing, Anakin’s voice trembles while he reads his speech not from nerves, but from arousal.

“The ornamental trees of Te Ani’la can be found atop the Royal Academy of Government, where two rows line either side of the path to the academy’s entrance, with further trees placed regularly around the edge of the building,” Anakin continues with his short speech on Mandalorian flora and fauna, stumbling over the Mando’a words. Obi-Wan hums from beneath him, making Anakin gasp as he feels the sound vibrate against his sensitive skin.

When his Master saw how unenthusiastic he was to present this speech in his oratory class, he offered to help practice, and also give him a little incentive along the way. So now Anakin finds himself naked and straddling Obi-Wan’s head backwards on their bed, trying to recite the words while Obi-Wan’s tongue sweeps over his rim. His hands shake as he holds the datapad with his speech on it, Obi-Wan’s broad hands propping him up and spreading him wide.

“The planet was home to many predators, including two birds of prey, the galaar and jai’galaar, also known as shriek-hawks,” Anakin reads on, and nearly whimpers when Obi-Wan takes his mouth off of him.

“Galaar,” Obi-Wan corrects his pronunciation, and so Anakin repeats that sentence, properly this time. Obi-Wan rewards him with a sloppy suck to his rim that nearly has him squealing, his hips rocking despite being told not to. “Anakin, stop squirming,” Obi-Wan reminds him sternly, as if it isn’t the hardest thing in the galaxy right now. “Stay focused not on what is going on around you, but on your current task.” Anakin huffs. Easier said than done. He looks forlornly down at Obi-Wan’s clothed cock, wanting desperately to have that in his mouth rather than speak. But with a squeeze to his ass, Anakin looks back at his speech again.

“The other creature on Mandalore was the gigantic mythosaur that became extinct long before the Mandalorian cataclysm,” he continues in a shaky voice. “While the Human population was able to survive the cataclysm because of technology, the wildlife of Mandalore suffered.” He wants to stop and moan instead, but he manages to plow through it. Of course it’s not good enough for his Master though.

“Slow down,” he tells Anakin. “Don’t just say the words, tell them to me.” Frustrated and so, so hard, Anakin pouts down at Obi-Wan’s cock again.

“Master, is this necessary? I think I got it well enough—ow!” He yelps as a hard smack lands on his ass.

“Are you arguing with me, Padawan?” Obi-Wan says softly, dangerously, and it makes Anakin weak. “When I know what’s best for you?” Anakin swallows, the good boy and the brat warring within him, as usual.

“But it’s just so hard, Master,” he whines, hoping he will take pity on him, even though it’s unlikely. Obi-Wan purposefully rubs the bristles of his beard against Anakin’s skin, making him mewl.

“What, because of this?” Obi-Wan asks when he pulls away, one hand leaving his ass to curl around him and feel for his aching cock. Obi-Wan tuts when he feels how much Anakin is leaking. “Such a needy, messy little Padawan,” he says with disdain, and then he’s slapping Anakin’s cock with that hand and it has Anakin near sobbing. His cock bobs and stings, aching even more, but Obi-Wan just wipes the precome off his hand onto Anakin’s skin and then goes back to his ass.

“Master,” Anakin pants out, not exactly sure what he’s asking for.

“Continue, Anakin. If you can complete your speech, then I’ll let you suck on my cock like I know you want.” Anakin whines but goes back to the datapad, blinking away tears so he can read properly.

“A few species managed to survive by adapting to the changing conditions, and rare examples of others lived on in captivity,” Anakin says, forcing himself to take his time and enunciate every word. Obi-Wan’s tongue is on him again, a teasing, distracting presence. But his Master told him not to be distracted by those around him in these moments, but focus on his speech. “The now-extinct jai’galaar had a significant influence on Mandalorian traditions, inspiring the emblems of the Clan Vizsla and the Death Watch Mandalorian faction.”

“Much better,” Obi-Wan praises, his own voice getting rougher, before his mouth is on Anakin’s hole again.

“The memory of the mythosaur lives on in the mythosaur skull emblem, one of the traditional symbols of Mandalorian iconography, and one of the most recognizable,” Anakin says, and then sighs and drops the datapad down, because he finished it.

“Good,” Obi-Wan says, making Anakin smile. “Should I ask some follow-up questions now to make sure you understand the subject well?”

“What? No!” Anakin squeaks out, unsure of whether or not he’s joking. Obi-Wan chuckles softly beneath him.

“So long as you feel good about what you have,” Obi-Wan replies. “I want you to do well.” As much warmth as that fills Anakin with, he’s also really hard and desperate, so his answer is easy.

“I feel good about it,” he says immediately, eyeing Obi-Wan’s cock again.

“Are you being truthful? I don’t want to punish you if you aren’t,” Obi-Wan warns, and that almost makes Anakin laugh, because he knows Obi-Wan would love to punish him. But it really is the truth, because his Master always knows the best ways to help him, and this has eased his stress and anxiety about his presentation by a lot.

“I’m serious, Master,” he says earnestly, and Obi-Wan must be able to tell.

“Alright, you may get my cock out,” Obi-Wan says, as if that’s such a hardship for him. Anakin grins and quickly pulls Obi-Wan’s cock out of his trousers, half hard and so wonderfully thick.

“Can I come?” Anakin asks, almost certain the answer will be yes. Obi-Wan thinks for a moment, giving Anakin some more messy licks before pulling back.

“You may,” he finally answers, and relief floods through Anakin. “You were good in the end, after all.”

“Thank you, Master!” He responds happily, and then Obi-Wan’s tongue is back on him, this time delving past his rim and into his hole with fervor, sucking and slurping like he’d been denying himself this before now. And that’s always Anakin’s favorite part, when he gets to see how affected Obi-Wan really gets during these moments, when he allows himself to get a little needy and feral. His cock is harder in Anakin’s hand when he turns his attention back to it, and Anakin bends over to lie down properly on Obi-Wan’s body, immediately slipping the head of Obi-Wan’s cock into his mouth and taking it deep.

Obi-Wan lets out a muffled groan at the feeling, the enthusiasm with which he’s eating him out now almost too much after all the teasing. Anakin is sloppy too, letting himself be loud as he sucks on Obi-Wan’s cock and bobs his head, using his hand to stroke the base of him that soon gets slick with his own saliva. He realizes through the haze of pleasure in his head that he’s rolling his hips back onto Obi-Wan’s mouth, with Obi-Wan’s hands on him only encouraging it. The movement makes the blowjob get even more messy, until he’s just moaning with it in his mouth, tongue roving over the head because he can’t get enough.

“Padawan, suck it properly,” Obi-Wan manages to tell him, his hand smacking Anakin’s ass again. “Fuck, squeeze my balls, too.” Anakin whimpers, his cock dragging against Obi-Wan’s torso with every rock of his hips, but he sinks further down on Obi-Wan’s cock until he chokes, which makes Obi-Wan groan, before taking Obi-Wan’s sloppy-wet balls in his hand. Anakin tries again, going deeper. “I’ve taught my Padawan well,” Obi-Wan growls out, and Anakin’s orgasm hits him so suddenly he chokes again, pulling off and panting wetly against Obi-Wan’s hip as he comes in intense, shuddery waves.

Obi-Wan runs soothing hands over him as he shakes through it, cooing at him and calling him a good boy. It makes Anakin feel soft and sweet, smiling dazedly as he practically collapses on Obi-Wan, not caring about the sticky come between their bodies. He can feel Obi-Wan’s hand still prying apart his ass, his fingers playing with his rim, just the tip of one slipping inside for a moment. “You’re so pink and open and wet here, now,” Obi-Wan says in a ruined voice, and his still-hard cock twitches against Anakin’s cheek. “Do you think you’re ready to take my cock?” Arousal jumps in Anakin’s body again, adding to the rush of satisfied warmth already filling him from his orgasm. This answer is easy too.

“Yes, Master.”

The Mandalorian Season 3 episode 4 - my thoughts

Ayo what?? Oh they're practicing nvm

IS GROGU DOING JEDI HOMEWORK

"He's making a fucking zen garden." -my husband

'The other foundlings" I'm beside myself

The fuck is this kid bitching about?

"He's just proud of you."

"He's got this. Trust me." I can physically hear Bo Katan's eyes rolling

Yo Grogu destroyed that kid

The Armorer and Grogu side quest pls

Grogu walking heals broken things

I'M SORRY GROGU HAS PTSD?!?!

ORDER 66?!

YOOOO who's this badass?!?

Grogu gets armor oh fuck oh fuck

Foundling Grogu

Bo Katan asking Din how he eats without being seen omg

Paz has a son?? Does this mean he'll be less of a dick??

Bo Katan said this is the way!!

She wants a mythosaur

[talleryn]

Friends, enemies and those still under consideration!

I just realised I forgot to review last week’s episode of the Mandalorian so I’ll do that now and talk about this week’s one later

Ok so spoilers for S3E2

Honestly I loved it. I appreciated that they didn’t go down the whole side-quest thing with IG-11, although I do think we’ll get him back or they wouldn’t have brought it up. This whole episode felt like a lore episode but it wasn’t lacking in action, which I really liked. I think it’s really cool how they’re delving more into mandalorian history and culture. Bo’Katan on her throne in her castle was iconic as she’s a queen of nothing at the moment (don’t mind my holly black reference) and this seems like a small detail to bring up but. I love the architecture. All the Mandalorian architecture ties in really well with the look of their armour, they use the same shape language for everything and it just ties it all together and makes the culture feel so cohesive.

Another thing. Bo’Katan talking about her parents and Din responding with “this is the way”. At first that seems kinda detached but. That is essentially the summary of his identity in one phrase. Saying “this is the way” to someone is the deepest and most meaningful thing he could do as it shows he sees her as one of his people. And given how at first Din was adamant that Bo’Katan wasn’t Mandalorian, that she didn’t follow the creed, that she wasn’t one of his people, it means so much more that he’s gone from that to showing her the deepest form of compassion he has to offer by acknowledging her as one of his people.

Bo’Katan being a badass filled me with joy. Another thing I found interesting was that when we see Din using the Darksaber, he clearly doesn’t know how to use it, whereas Bo’Katan clearly does. I hope we get a kind of training montage with them or at least show him becoming more competent.

The bionicle was creepy but very cool.

And at the end? The Mythosaur??? Omg omg omg I hope he gets to ride it. This has been foretold for aeons. I was kinda laughing when Din slipped and fell into the water but damn did I shut up when the Mythosaur came on. Cannot wait to talk about next episode omg

[wonderlandsakura]

Mandalorian season 3 episode 2 spoilers ahead

THE SYMBOLISM OF THE MYTHOSAUR SCENE OMG

Our gorgeous, pathetic, unwilling baby (Din, not Grogu) slips and falls all the way down the deep end (like he did into becoming the Mand'alor, he took a few steps in and then got completely sucked into it, omg) and falls unconscious (cause you can't let him know he's the chosen one, he'll completely freak out and run away), the poor dear.

The unconscious part is also potentially symbolic of him not knowing what he's doing, not knowing how much of a Mand'alor he is being, and plainly just not knowing what he's doing, btw.

Anyway, Bo-Katan (who is not unconscious and also actually knows what she's doing and how to lead as a Mand'alor and that Din is super the chosen one) comes down to get him and carry him up to the surface (cause gosh is he going to need help, and she's the most uniquely qualified for the job) ...

And they (Bo-Katan) see a mythosaur.

THEY SEE A FUCKING MYTHOSAUR.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT??!!

The mythosaur cracks open it's eye to look at them.

LIKE IT'S WORRIED ABOUT THEM (din), LIKE IT'S GIVING THEM (din) IT'S BLESSING, LIKE THEY (din) ARE NOT SOMETHING BENEATH IT, LIKE THEY (din) ARE WORTH IT'S ATTENTION

IT'S FUCKING AMAZING

(btw, it's also saying "yes I'm real Bo-Katan, so please help the pathetic mess that is our Mand'alor out, cause yes, he does actually deserve the title, and is in fact the actual chosen one, come to bring a new age your people, cause I do actually exist and approve of the idiot, thank you very much")

So yeah.

Also the fact that Din's super strict Creed is actually called the Way of the Mand'alor??? And he actually follows it super strictly, like without it he's nothing??? And only breaks it for the benefit of Children, which in Mandalorians Creed "are the Future"?????

LIKE HOW MUCH MORE FORESHADOWING DO YOU WANT TO PUT INTO THIS DUDE (it's like wolf wolf, son of wolf, if you know what I'm talking about)

More importantly, HOW MUCH MORE INFORMATION DOES HE NEED BEFORE HE REALISES HOW MUCH OF A NIGH PERFECT MANDALORIAN HE IS????

Like.

1) Way of the Mand'alor

2) Children are important above all else

3) full beskar armor (which is, btw unpainted, a blank slate, a new age, it's perfect!) (1st tenant of Creed)

4) incredibly skilled as a warrior/hunter/provider, is an actual beroya, for his tribe and people, even those who are practically strangers to him (Bo-Katan, Boba) (5th tenant)

5) respected by the head clans of the 3 factions (they would come if he called them, and since he's the Mand'alor, that's the 6th tenant for them)

6) willing to listen, respect, and learn about the creed and history of those who follow different ways (very good, since Mandalorian society previously collapsed partially because they were arguing over whose creed was the best)

7) Would fight, kill, go out of his comfort zone, and even violate his creed for his family (Grogu) (3rd tenant)

8) Can speak not just Mandalorian, but also a variety of other languages, including at least one form of sign (very useful for communicating with his scattered people (2nd tenant)

9) literally teaching Grogu about mandalorian culture now that he knows he accepts him as family in return (4th tenant)

10) follows the resol'nare (the 6 tenants) in his every action, seemingly without having to think about it

11) being re-baptised in the living waters (like Jesus) (btw the symbolism of being reborn again as he is being denoted as the person who will bring a new age)

12) the Fucking Mythosaur

Like Din? Get some self-esteem. And self-care while you're at it.

Anyway I can't wait till Saturday (today's a Thursday for future readers and those across the world) when I can continue watching Din stumble (or fall) deep deep deep into Mand'alor-hood unwillingly and unknowingly

[omaano]

I guess you've already got a dozen of these BUT

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

That is a rather flattering assumption, my dear, but I believe I've proven to have a horrible track record in answering asks, and where is the fun in sending such nice asks to someone who will just hoard them and then feel too ashamed to answer months late? ^^; Anyway, thank you very much for this askl! ❤️ And while it is a bit mean to make me pick favourite(s) from my children, I'm only gonna pick one here (not even my biggest recent fave), because I want to talk about it and show off some details.

I thought about picking my recent cowboys DTIYS redraw, because that would illustrate pretty well the direction where my art inevitably seems to be going (and the one time where Cobb's face didn't fight me like it was his job - and returned to the old normal of Din giving me grief lol) BUT, then I remembered that I filled my (so far) last Desert Witch!Cobb AU drawing with quite a few details, and I want to show them off and talk about them a little. So here we go:

I wanted to showcase the colour palette I predominantly used in all my pieces for the Monster Mash drawings - I'll admit that I'm not very confident in my colours, so Procreate's feature of generating colour palettes for me from already existing photos is an absolute godsend, otherwise I'd be stuck with my purples and pink-oranges for eternity. I had to add the blue for a bit of contrast though, but by the third drawing I really enjoyed the warmth of these bright oranges and reddish browns. They added to a nice and cozy feeling while I was freezing and huddling close to my little electric heater.

Plus this is a good shot to point out all the shinies dangling from Cobb (he's now got a mythosaur pendant with dangling beads for the teeth(?)), and the tattoo on his arm I had an awful lot of fun with! Something's clicked in my brain and now it's permanently stuck on pairing Cobb with suns and moons imagery (mostly the moons, because A) Din is the one who is shiny and blinding and hurtful to look at when he's fully decked out in his armour, and B) I find the dichotomy of the deadly sharp points and curve of a crescent moon vs the gentle face of a full moon very fitting for our Marshal here). So he's got two crescent moons on the underside of his forearm and elbow, and a third one on the right side of his neck. And there is also a sun on the curve of his shoulder, behind the sharp-toothed skull (because I gave in and finally put a sun on him after you all somehow kept seeing it on him - although it still eludes me how you managed that ^^;). He had another one on his right shoulder as well, but well. Glass doesn't take all that well to tattooing, does it? He's also got a lot of swooping cloud and smoke shapes to match his eternally billowing robes and the sand-storms that hide in his pockets.

And now to the fun part of the chaos that the background was:

I really wanted to put an absolute mess of a workbench behind Cobb, and I tried my best to deliver it - then forgot to take into consideration how much of it he'd block out with his shoulders XD and so I filled it with books, datapads and candles, little notes and jars and vials and a real fancy scale that I tried to model after the krayt dragon. And then once I realized how many of those details got covered up, in my infinite wisdom I erased everything instead of just masking them out so that I wouldn't even be tempted to somehow work them back into the picture... so I had to take these snapshots from my process video (hence the poor screenshot quality, sorry ^^;) but this way you can also see how I used those box shapes to try and keep even the otherwise circular/organic shapes of the flowers and pots (and cauldrons omg, were those a struggle!) in perspective. I think that was a neat little trick.

It was really challenging, and I cursed myself a lot for the angle I picked for this picture, but in the end it was very rewarding to see that while I never thought I'd ever be able to pull off a detailed background, I still managed to do this here!

[hotpinkboots]

I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE MANDALORIAN SEASON 3 FINALE

I was just a *tiny* bit disappointed that nothing came out of Mando getting tied up and looking pretty on his knees (I WANTED TO SEE HIM INJURED >:))) ), but it was so cute how Grogu came to save his daddy LOL. The bacta spray part was adorable I love the call back to past episodes like that it's adorable.

ALSO I LOVED HOW BO WAS FLYING LIKE A BADASS AND TURNED ON THE DARKSABER LIKE THAT IT WAS SO UNNECESSARY AND DRAMATIC I LOVED IT LMFAO

Armorer Bonking People Supremacy

oh also when Mr. Mando said something about "this could get messy" or whatever he said it was something along the lines of that I had to stop myself from oohing and awing and moaning because of the way he said "messy". thank you

ALSO HOW THE HELL DID EARMUFF GIDEON BREAK THE DARKSABER THINGY????

AIDJDKDJJD

When I see Din getting thrown around I automatically scream and cry and wave my hands around and yell. I always need to be prepared like "ok Mando may get thrown" because I need to like jump through the screen and save him or some crap idk

GROGUUUU USING HIS BABY GOOGOO GAGA POWER TO SAVE DIN AND BO FROM THAT BIG ASS SHIP CRASH?? AMAZING. THAT MOMENT WAS BEAUTIFUL LOOK AT THIS YOU GUYS

LIKE WHAT 😭

Also his little sit at the end omg holds gently baby baby baby booboo tired from using his googoo gaga powers

It's always so bizzare to see Grogu like jumping around and stuff though 💀 like OKKK WELL I THINK WE OVERDID THAT JUST A BIT LMFAO I forgot baby can do parkour. Everytime I see Grogu doing parkour all I can think of is that parkour scene from The Office LOL

I do think Earmuff Gideon "died" too easily there's no way he's dead. Also what if that wasn't him and it was just one of his clones or something. And even if it wasn't a clone that's way too easy of a death. His scream at that part tho man that was insane I LOVED IT

ALSO MANDO FINALLY ADOPTED BABY YODA. LIKE. IT'S OFFICIAL AT LAST I kind of thought it already was a thing but like now it's a THING like they are ACTUALLY family now

Also also also I have been thinking for a good like six months now where are Grogu's parents. Like I know they're probably dead or won't come into the show or plot or anything but it's worth thinking about. And Order 66 was a while ago man so like how long was Grogu just chilling around in his lil space pod perambulator. whO ARE YOUR PARENTS KID

ALSO MY BOY IG-11 COMING BACK I FREAKING EXPLODED MAN 😭 like DUDE AT LAST I MISSED YOU

It was *so* satisfying to see Din now having a home base. Not a ship, a *home.* We haven't TRULY seen him relax EVER in this show. I thought it was so sweet that he had a place where he could put his feet up for once and just watch his kid/apprentice play. That really was the thing that got me, finally seeing such a strong, stoic character finally able to relax, sit back, and enjoy himself for a while. What better way to do so than by putting your feet up and watching your kid play? It's such a good feeling to see one of my favorite characters at last having a moment of true peace.

And that leaves it open for more adventures, no crazy cliff hanger that makes us wait impatiently for like a year or two, just relaxation and peace for once, just thinking that Din and Grogu are somewhere out there chilling :')

So they get to chill out until the next season which is a good feeling I cried my face off seeing the two of them relaxing I KNOW I KEEP SAYING "oh they're relaxing they're relaxing finally peace omg relaxation" BUT IT'S TRUE. DIN'S ALWAYS FIGHTING HIS ASS OFF BRO HE DESERVES A BREAK

So yeah I could NOT be happier with the ending of this season. The season OVERALL was pretty boring, so I'm disapponted about that, but the last two episodes were *chef's kiss*

also mythosaur or however you spell it. WAKE YO ASS UP BROOOOOO

[oh-three]

MY THOUGHTS ON THE MANDALORIAN - Chapter 17 "The Apostate"

I can't believe the wait is over! I got up even earlier than I've been doing since TBB started so I could watch both shows before starting my day, but it was so worthy cutting my sleep short. The premiere was incredible and sets up nicely what we'll see this season. My favorite dad-son duo is back and I'm beyond happy about it.

Reactions and thoughts below the cut

This is a flashback? Don't tell me this is when Din took the creed, bc I'm dead if it is.

Oh kark!!! What's that?!! A mega crocodile?!!! Wtf?!!! (I wish this would've been a mythosaur instead. I'm still holding hope to see one, even if the chances are low)

The armorer is badass as always

Paz!! (He's been a jerk to Din in the past but I love him anyway)

Oh! Din in the N1!! So it's NOT a flashback (but I know the confusion is intentional) Din saving the day is awesome. The Mand'alor to the rescue, even if most of those mandos don't know that he's their leader.

Now, that I know this is the present day, my question is where all those Mandalorians came from, because the covert has GROWN. I mean, last time we saw them, it was just Paz and the armorer (well, supposedly it has been like a year since so, they had time to gather the people)

Also, I noticed this in a rewatch (yes, I've rewatched it like 3 times already) If the Living Waters are so important, why can younglings be baptized (because that's what it is) in any body of water? Couldn't Din do the same to be redeemed? I mean, it's like crazy to me that this kid is taking the creed in some lake in a backwater planet, and Din has to go to Mandalore to do basically the same thing. I guess it's to show his genuine commitment, but it's just stupid.

The only good thing about the mega turtle/armored crocodile's attack is that they have plenty of meat to eat 🤣

Grogu being a cutie pie peeking up in his bubble in the N1 to say hi... adorable!! 🥰🥰🥰

Ugh! I hate that the Armorer start with the same old narrow-minded speech and rejecting Din. Go kark yourself, Armorer! Din doesn't need any of you. This is the second time you speak about Din taking the helmet off, and you don't ask why he did it. That should count for something.

Oooh! Where did you find that?? 😆 With Jawas, of course. Din's new BFFs.

I'm convinced that the Armorer was going to take back her words and say there's no a way for Din to redeem himself, but one look at Grogu is enough to cave in. The baby totally convinced the armorer there.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!! Purrgils?!!! Is that a purrgil? Omg !!! A purrgil!!!!!!! A purrgil!!!!! (As a Rebels fan this makes me sooooooooooooo happy)

Grogu cuddling with Din to sleep is the cutest thing ever, and I've been saying since season 2 started that it has happened many times before, I think since Din put that little hammock for Grogu to sleep in his sleeping space in the Razor Crest. I don't think Grogu missed the opportunity to cuddle when all he had to do was get off the hammock. AND in chapter 10, he also cuddled to sleep next to Din under his cape, and Din didn't bat an eyelash about it, a proof that it wasn't something new.

Of course he's visiting Nevarro. I knew that from the trailers.

Din remembering Ig-11 💚💚💚

😂😂😂😂 Grogu spinning the chair. I love this so much because it shows that Grogu is still a baby. But it also shows that he's matured a bit. I compare this with what a 3-4 year old would do (even if Grogu doesn't quite behave like a human child of that age in other areas like speech). I remember doing exactly that (well, no with the force) when I was that age and my dad took me to his job. In comparison, Grogu touching buttons in season 1 is a very baby-beginning-to-walk/crawl-like behavior, testing boundaries of what he can or cannot do and almost as a game. While in season 2, grabbing his toy, his shinny knob, and take with him when as he leaves the ship (like in chapter 13) is a behavior seen in 2-3 year olds (and older obvs). So despite his cute demeanor, Grogu has grown.

😂😂😂😂 Greef not caring about Grogu's name. We've been there. Don't worry, it grows on you.

So funny how Karga gets all 😠 if others don't say his title properly. High magistrate!

Oh, trouble! Pirates. The nitkos, yep, big trouble.

What are you doing Din? You're going to kill me, leaning that way against the tree. Have mercy!

Yeah, that's gonna bite you in the ass later, Karga, and Din will need to come back and help you with a group of mandos.

Aha!! Yes! Cara's absence explained. There it goes, a square on my bingo card 😊

What? Ig11? But I need someone to explain to me how IG-11's torso and head are intact when the explosive he had for self-destruction was on his chest??!!!

Awwww, gawd!! You're killing me with feels here, Din! He's the only droid you trust 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭

I like Din is showing his skills here (and they're using the same music of when Kuiil reprogrammed him 😢) But what if IG-11 wakes up with the old programming??

Here we go!

I knew it, I knew it!!! Aaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!! NOOoooooo!!!

Din tossing Grogu at Karga like a ball 😆

Kill the droid already!! Why is it so hard now when it took just one bolt last time?! Crushing it also works, I guess.

The anzellans!!!

Awww, he's your friend!! Din!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

Din's look when Karga keep translating for him. Priceless!

Grogu squeezing the anzellan 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and Din using his name, and being in Dad mode activated "Sorry about that, he's young." 🤣

Awwww Din teaching his son, and Grogu paying attention. Aaaaaahhh this is too cute!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰 They could make the show only about this and I'd be happy.

Ugh! Pirates again!

Hehehe! Grogu strapping in with Din's bandolier is perfect.

Oh! so that's the dogfight in the asteroid field. I thought we'd see this in a later episode. But i LOVE the music!! Joseph Sherley did an amazing job scoring this!

Gorian Shard is basically Davey Jones in space??? So this is who is going to wreck Nevarro 😠

Kelevala. This where Bo-Katan is.

Where the pram comes from? I mean, there's no much cargo space in the N1. I guess it's detachable from the ship, and it's where Grogu sits when he’s in his bubble.

Ugh, Bo! So why are you so hypocritical? You speak of how the Children of the Watch and other factions (like DEAD WATCH perhaps?!!) fractured mandalorian society. Girl, YOU were in one of those factions. Like seriously? Did you forget that you helped to dethrone YOUR sister (which led to her murder)? Excuse me for my lack of sympathy for you because people left you because you couldn't take the Darksaber back. Be as passive agressive and hypocritical as you want but that won't make you a better leader. Honestly, i think mandalorians will be better off if you're nowhere near a position of power.

Altho, you've been graciously informative, but I know there's a catch somewhere, and this won't be the last time we see you.

Nooooooo why did it have to end? Why I have to wait a week?!!!

Yay!!! They put Brendan's and Lateef's names in the credits as co-stars!! Well deserved and long overdue.

If the length of this review is of any indication, I enjoyed this episode immensely. I think it sets things for the rest of the season very nicely, and I'm very excited to see how everything plays out.

The dark saber being made into mythosaur tusks to be put on dins helmet??? Your brain has me shook omg

Okay but y’all have no idea how happy I am people are digging the crown so much! I thought everyone would be like ‘HoW dArE yUo?!’

Fun fact, chapter 7 was actually just supposed to be like a 6 page epilogue but I rewrote it into a whole chapter after BoBF finished. Boba was going to throw the saber off the balcony at the end of chapter 6 and Fennec was gonna shoot it. But then we found out it was made of Beskar and I also wanted to give Boba a little something extra… which you’ll see in the next installment on Tuesday 😅
