I don't know, I just love believing that Spy has a 'Type' and that type is anyone who presents themself strongly and confidently in some way.
Like Scout's mom, Spy fell head over heels for her, despite her being some nobody lady in Boston with a sharp tongue, a loud mouth, and more than enough attitude to share. She might not have had a lot or been much of anyone on a societal scale, but to herself? She was a god damn queen and you were gonna fucking respect her.
She did not survive and thrive in motherfucking Boston and come out lookin like an absolute bombshell just so people could walk all over her.
No sir, no ma'am, no way, no how.
And of course it doesn't just look like that, Spy falls for Sniper too and Sniper isn't always loud. He's actually fairly reserved and almost gentlemanly (In a rough and tumble kinda way) when off duty. He keeps to himself.
But when he's in his element? When there's nothing between him and the next sorry SOB on his list but distance, a scope, and a loooong barrel?
Sniper comes alive. He knows exactly what he's doing and just how damn good he is. He's a god damn professional and you're lucky he's not after you. ( And if he is? Well... at least you wont feel it. Much.)
And Spy fucking L O V E S that shit. He might play it off as annoyance, as a distaste, particularly for Sniper because God- how could he fall for someone so... uncivilized? But its like heroin to him. Nothing makes him Yearn Frenchly more.
Spy's got such a hard on for Confidence. For the kind of genuine and true Strength of Character you can only get from actually Knowing Yourself. Because after so long, I don't think he really knows who he is anymore. And it feels good and grounding to see someone else so sure, to let himself fantasize about building a home on such stable foundations.
“you guys need to stop mischaracterizing din!! in season 3 he-“
bro. bro. listen. season 3 doesn’t exist. it’s not canon, you’re crazy. you’re insane. everything that happened there has mischaracterized din and frankly everyone else. i don’t care if din isn’t a constant worrier of grogu this season, he WAS in the first two seasons and that’s what i’m going with. i don’t care if din was acting a little silly and had shitty dialogue and dad jokes this season, his silence spoke volumes in the first two seasons. i don’t care if din doesn’t want the darksaber, but the whole build up of the first two seasons was him getting it so we should’ve had more development into WHY he doesn’t want it.
y’all need to stop defending lucasfilms and stop acting like what you’re watching is good or even decent. it’s a billion dollar company, we’re allowed to ask for better. just because there were little things that were cool does not justify the awful plot line (that doesn’t even exist at this point) and the awful dialogue and awful mischaracterization. they’re ruining the characters and they literally admitted that they don’t have an end goal that they’re trying to achieve.
that’s not din anymore, y’all should realize this. that’s not how din acts and that’s not how he speaks. him being reckless was always there, but don’t think for a second that din doesn’t always worry or care for grogu. don’t think din would willingly put harm in grogu’s way. din KNOWS grogu can handle himself, but he also knows that grogu is a baby that has had a traumatizing past and he still cares deeply.
any behavior of din’s (or anyone else’s) in season 3 should be examined and tried to be characterized correctly. think, WOULD din act like that? and don’t go “well it’s what the creators of the show wanted so-“ just stop. stop trying to defend them. a lot of the characterization they’ve done for him in the first two seasons is being undone in the third, and it’s sad to see. we’re allowed to ask for better. we’re allowed to not like things.
