HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PEDRO PASCAL ⏤ April 2nd, 1975

The Armorer #1 Bo-Katan stan #1 Din Djarin anti

The Armourer, leading a helmetless Bo: Bo-Katan walks both paths. She can reunite the Mandalorians and help us reclaim Mandalore.

Din, who almost drowned just to be back in the covert:

This is a real broadcast they are doing. Calling men 'babygirl' has stumped them

if moff gideon loved his clones so much, how come there was an EXPLODE button on their control panel

It should also be mentioned that while sidelining Din in his own show is of course aggravating and awful, please also be aware of the erasure of Boba Fett and Temuera Morrison’s influence on Mandalorian culture. Ever since Dave Filoni stepped into star wars he has done pretty much everything he could to erase any traces of Temuera’s impact regarding mando culture.

Mandalorian culture was built from the ground up based on Temuera’s casting as Jango, his identity, and Polynesian inspiration. Even if it wasn’t always well executed at all. The fact that it was based around him and his culture matters and should’ve been elaborated upon to be better, not erased. Tem is super vocal about how particular he is about the roles he chooses and how he tries to inject his own culture into each of his characters.

People like to cite that it wasn’t DAVE’S choice to state that the Fetts weren’t mando in clone wars. But he did not have to thoroughly purge Mandalorian culture of any Polynesian influence and remake it into a blonde white colonial kingdom. In Mando Season 3 Bo-Katan’s history and the History of Mandalore was rewritten so she could be reframed as an innocent princess… at the cost of erasing Boba Fett’s identity and his heritage of Jango and Jaster as protecting rulers of Mandalore.

The total lack of care towards Boba’s character is most obvious in The Book of Boba Fett, where he was given the same sidelining treatment + ridiculous meaningless hijinks that Din is currently experiencing. Tem’s influence is even being removed from the CLONES, sidelining their importance and agency just to uplift and center around the white clones that look and sound nothing like Tem.

Bruh...

Year of Small Joys 3 - Friendly Touch

Slightly belated March entry for @yearofcreation2023

530 words. Din knew touch once, and shut it out for practicality. But he's learning to accept it again.

It was common in the covert. A gentle touch on the shoulder. A pat on the back. A hand to help up after a spar. Sometimes a squeeze of the arm in solidarity. They were a family, after all. Touch was not a stranger.

such a lovely progression 💜

PEDRO PASCAL BIRTHDAY PROJECT 2023!!!

Join us in fundraising for abortion access in honor of Pedro Pascal’s 48th birthday!

We’re raising money for the Kentucky Health Justice Network, an abortion fund in Kentucky, to celebrate Pedro’s upcoming birthday. Each spring, abortion funds across the United States participate in the National Network of Abortion Funds’ Fund-a-Thon, the biggest fundraising drive of the year for abortion access. We’ve set up a fundraising team for KHJN, Pedro Fans 4 Abortion Rights, and invite you do donate to help us reach our goal!

To donate:

Who are you?

We’re Cristina @pedropascalsx and Leslie @leslie-lyman, two Pedro fans who are also passionate about reproductive justice.

How can I get involved?

You can donate via the Pedro Fans 4 Abortion Rights team to the Kentucky Health Justice Network here. You do not have to join the team as a member to donate to the team’s fundraising effort, the team just lets us keep track of how much total money we’ve raised (kinda like a GoFundMe). All of your money goes directly to the fund; we do not handle donations directly, and have no access to your financial or personal info.

Can I donate anonymously?

Yes! Just make sure you check the “Hide my name from the public” box when filling out the donation form.

What is your fundraising goal?

We’re starting out with a goal of $480 since Pedro is turning 48. If we hit that goal, we’ll increase it!

Why an abortion fund?

Abortion is health care, and abortion rights are human rights. Last year, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, erasing the federal right to abortion that had existed for the past 50 years. Since last summer, abortion access has been outright banned in 13 states and severely restricted in many others, with devastating consequences for pregnant people across the country.

Pedro has always been vocal about his support for all kinds of social justice, including abortion rights. He even posted about how to support abortion access, including donating to abortion funds, on his Instagram shortly after the Dobbs decision. Funding abortion is more important than ever before, and we wanted to fundraise for a cause that we support, that Pedro supports, and that will go towards ensuring access to a fundamental human right.

Why the Kentucky Health Justice Network?

After the overturning of Roe v Wade, abortion became completely illegal in Kentucky, with only very narrow exceptions for the life of the mother. The Kentucky Health Justice Network does incredible work helping people access abortion across state lines. They also help transgender Kentuckians access gender-affirming care at a time when trans folks are under increasing attack, including by the Kentucky state legislature, and Pedro, as we all know, has been outspoken in his support for the LGBTQ+ community and has a very personal connection to the cause of protecting trans rights. (One other fun connection: Pedro also played Agent Jack “Whiskey” Daniels in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, a movie set partially in Kentucky.)

What if I still have questions?

Please reach out to Cristina or Leslie; our DMs and ask boxes are open!

Well folks, you did it. It’s Pedro’s birthday and y’all have donated $2,683 to the Kentucky Health Justice Network to help Kentuckians get the abortions they need!

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that joining this fandom and this community is one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Thank you for supporting this cause and supporting each other. Thank you to @pedropascalsx for being the best partner on and champion for this project. And thank you to Pedro, for bringing so much love and joy and friendship into all our lives. If you’ve got a burner tumblr account and ever end up reading this, happy birthday, sir. And as you once said:

*Note that this fundraiser will continue to be live until the end of NNAF’s annual fund-a-thon, which is usually around the end of May. So if you see this after Pedro’s birthday, feel free to donate anyway if you’d like!

So we are one day away from Pedros birthday!

And we’ve managed to raise $2,200 for abortion rights! We are $300 from our goal. Reblogs would be greatly appreciated - all donations go STRAIGHT to charity. 🩷🩵
