and like at first glance mando armor all looks strikingly similar but then you look closer and you realize theres so much variation like even just in the helmet designs you have different little variations in the visor shape, the fucking "cheek indent" shape, the forehead, the ear pieces, etc and then it comes down to like well how much of that can be personal customization, and then what can you potentially say about the person inhabiting the armor by just the armor design? if the helmet is their face, then what does the helmet portray about their personality? but then i also love the idea of like actual mandalorian families who pass on certain armor characteristics like maybe this one family carries on this one specific visor shape or whatever, so despite it being armor you can still somehow see familial resemblance between them. idk i just think its neat. lol

#which is why i haaaate the fact that the different primary visor shapes are gendered #by which i mean the standard T shape and then the like cat eye thing #but here im also talking about even little variations in the standard T like look at the difference between din paz and boba #they all have the T but its all different right like theres differences .#but i wish the standard T and the cat eye were not a gendered binary bc 1. fuck that i hate it #isnt armor so beautiful because anyone can be inside there U_U why must we create another binary U_U #but also 2. it prevents so many more opportunities for even more variation in helmet designs #like a while ago i made an edit where axe woves had a cat eye visor on his helmet #and so then you can say that that helmet design signifies the whole bokata/koska/axe alliance going on bc theyre all part of the same #group and carry that on their armor together #but NOOOOOOOOO. men cant HAVE cat eye visors bc uwu its FEMININE and for WOMEN ONLY !!!!! -______-#anyway so not only are there variations even on the primary visor designs like the difference between boba paz and din in the T design #but then imagine if there was similar diversity in the cat eye design also like the different angles it can tilt at or the different #specific shapes to the arched parts etc #right like theres just so much you can do with it and its fun to think about but then making it a gender binary is so fucking annoying #brot posts #mando posting
