Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
The thing was, Rex was pretty sure he’d never even heard Luke’s Mandalorian speak.
Obviously he was capable of communication- no one was surviving what was apparently bosom close friendship with Boba without a means of verbal defense- but that didn’t mean he was prepared for Djarin, paused slinging that enormous rifle over his fuck-off shoulders, to turn his way and confirm that Rex was, in fact Rex.
Rex nodded.
Completely in the same tone, voice surprisingly pleasant coming out of all that beskar, Djarin inquired if Rex would like Bo-Katan’s current com frequency.
Rex’s blood froze.
From behind him, instantly recognizable and terrible, Kote audibly sniggered.
“Lady Kryze,” Obi-Wan inquired, smooth voice made smoother in mischief. “Told you that? How fascinating.”
The Mandalorian shrugged. Picked back up that terrifying spear and in a gesture that was about as awkward as it was emphatic, let the end tap ringingly on the stone path. “She doesn’t like Vode. Or Mandalorians. Or Jedi.”
But she’d liked Rex.
That once.
“The Kryze harridan will not be distracted,” the Armorer pointed out, spikey helmet throwing sunlight. She’d left off the fur, revealing an ornate blockwork embroidered armor weave collar circling her throat, gold on red on dense black. “You must take the challenge or order her to cease.”
“How,” Rex pried his jaw apart, religiously ignoring that he was too damned old to blush, “Do you know that?”
Djarin looked at the Armorer.
The Armorer made some sort of twisting hand gesture that looked patently nothing like any kind of sign language Rex had ever seen. Luke’s Mando did not gesture back, just dipped his chin, more supplicant than a nod.
She hummed, parental disapproval easy to translate.
“Buir,” Djarin quietly rumbled.
The Armorer, the kid’s mother, good fucking little gods, tipped her head in an armored smile. “You must forgive the Manda’lor. He has much his father’s sense of humor.”
okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point
but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:
anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅
(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)
my partner doesn’t use pet names nearly as much as i do, which is very funny because i will crack my gay little knuckles and say some shit like “good morning my sun and moon, my loveliest boy, my baby my sweetheart my darling dearest” and he will reply “hello adrian”
