Request: "Din catches you cleaning/polishing his armor for him (something usually only done between courting Mandos) and gets all shy explaining the implications to you send tweet"

Warnings: mild language, mature themes, Din in sweatpants, I think that's it?? Idk it's a short one

AN: I want to formally apologize to all of you who sent Din requests to my inbox that have been sitting there for a while, I promise I see you, I just had such a hard time finding the right motivation and inspiration for these pieces. Hopefully I can get the others pumped out in a decent timeline as well 🤞 Thanks @deceiverofgodss for bullying me into working on this, ily 💛 I hope you guys enjoy!

The beskar armor was a large part of his intimidation. It widened his frame – which was admittedly big enough without it – making him bulkier, heavier, a force to be reckoned with. It represented the history of warriors before him, Mandalorians through generations maintaining their reputation of being a people you don’t come back from a fight with. The dark visors and emotionless helmets only helped on that front, he couldn’t even count how many people had tried to back their way out of trouble with one silent look from him. 

Each beskar’gam was unique to the Mandalorian wearing it, and they take special care to make sure it looks as intimidating as wearing it makes them feel. Some go out of their way to paint their beskar, symbolizing their journey with specific colors and designs of their heritage. For Din, it’s keeping the pure metal shined and polished – it turns heads and sends a whisper through the crowd at the mere sight of him. 

It takes a lot to keep it that way. 

Random thought, but I think asking "Can I be your boyfriend?" Is much more romantic thank "Do you want to be my girlfriend?".

I don't know about you but personally I don't watch star wars for its logic. I came here to see space wizards with magic floaty powers and fourteen year old queens and flying pears and sand memes and hello theres and loose wire jokes and two people in a trenchcoat and Obi-Wan telling THE ACTUAL SITH LORD THAT SITH LORDS WERE THEIR SPECIALITY ajsbiwhsb as well as Palpatine electrocuting himself at the end of every trilogy

I'm here for the Council straight up side-eyeing Anakin when Padme is mentioned and that whole death sticks sequence and 'control your insolence the cOuNt is ConCeNTraTiNg' and R2 being savage and 'don't worry, we're still flying half a ship'-

I'm here for Obi-Wan and Anakin and the fact that they are literally so entwined and that saying that where one goes the other follows and the absolute tragedy of how much they loved and hated and yearned for each other, both hurt and hurting the other and the way that they are absolutely haunted by the ghost of the other

Yes I know that its Disney trying to cash in its Star Wars quota, but you know what? There are people out there who are genuinely enthusiastic about working on these different series and now there are so many stories that can be explored and I, for one, am genuinely excited

A few plot holes doesn't make terrible writing.

So yes, I am living my best life watching the Kenobi series.

some of ya'll need to learn how to use "read more"

It's super annoying when you're looking through the tag on mobile to find something to read. And it's also super annoying when you follow the tag and suddenly have to scroll forever just to get to the next post on your dash.

Verity (Din Djarin x Reader)

On a remote planet, while chasing a bounty, you encountered a rare plant that produces the infamous "truth pollen". Not being able to lie is dangerous when you're in love with your Mandalorian employer.

Requested by Anon: #47: I forget how to speak whenever you’re around and it’s embarrassing.

A/N: OKAY LISTEN, my last 2 fics have gotten such bad engagement I don't have high hopes for this BUT if this goes good, would you want to see something where DIN is affected by the pollen?

You should have listened.

Though, to be fair, the Mandalorian had never explicitly told you to stay in the Crest- you saw it more as a strong suggestion. It was a new planet, some dirt ball in the middle of Wild Space that had been long forgotten by any traders or travelers. The bounty hunter had warned you to stay inside and you'd simply waved him off.

Now, laid out flat on your back, you thought he might have been right.

Your body protested against any attempt to get up and you opted to just still for a long, long moment. In your defense, you had just violently tumbled down into a rock bed.

Me in my room daydreaming about getting absolutely fkn railed by a man that could easily snap my neck

you ever really get in the Writing Zone™ and everything’s going super great and awesome and then you write that one sentence. and you have to take a break and think about how to phrase it for 6 hours

Love how this poster suggest that Mr. Knight is this charismatic fuckboy type:

And then you watch the show and he just
