jecki and sol are an interesting partnership. jecki’s line about the dangers of nostalgia and sentimentality really stood out to me. jecki seems to be a very by-the-books padawan, viewing her apprenticeship through an almost professional lens, seen further when she constantly asks sol for “permission to speak freely.” she was also very eager to place osha in cuffs once she agreed to come with them, as is proper protocol for prisoners. in contrast, sol keeps holos of his former padawans, chooses to believe the best about osha despite not having any contact for 6 years, and views his connection to the past as an opportunity to learn. there are benefits and drawbacks to both philosophies, and they can definitely learn a lot from each other. i see why they were paired together. and despite their differences, they still get along really well and have a warm relationship. it’s like the healthier version of qui-gon and obi-wan (healthier from what we’ve seen, which is very little. they may end up proving that statement wrong lol).

makes me wonder if part of the reason sol and osha didn’t work out as a partnership is because they’re too similar to each other. both seem to hold onto the past, though to very different degrees. but honestly i feel like if osha had been paired with a more straightforward, detached master, it would have been worse. at least sol can empathize with her struggles and do his best to offer emotional support.

Omega completed the mission to get Crosshair back. She completed Tech's last mission.

phee genoa is really so character. her entrance is her saying "better late than dead, i always say." right after that she insults every member of the batch except for tech, who she immediately tries to flirt with. she's a pirate, no actually she's a liberator of ancient wonders. she doesn't steal in your typical pirate way instead she steals to help refugees remember their homes. she calls freefalling into a planet's atmosphere a "stealth entrance." a solid 3/4 of what we see her say and do in the show is probably a front until we get to pabu. she regularly gets in arguments with her droid named mel, who's been completely destroyed at least once. she nearly gets all of the main characters killed by a mountain creature. omega thinks she's the coolest person ever and hunter is going to rip his hair out over this fact. lyana told shep that she wants to be a liberator of ancient wonders just like auntie phee and shep nearly had a heart attack. it is such a crime we didn't see more of her yet at the same time if we get more canon phee content they'll probably mess everything up

Rough Day (The Mandalorian x Reader)

Rated: Explicit

Word Count: 3.1K

Summary: When you woke up this morning, you didn’t really think it would be a “fixing Mando’s knife wound and then giving him a handjob” kind of day today but hey, who knew that agreeing to babysit a bounty hunter’s weird, green little child would be so full of surprises.

Warnings: Smut, language, handjobs (duh), dirty talk, Pedro Pascal (deserves his own warning), mentions of blood, spoilers for the Mandalorian.

Maker, why is this even a thing?

You don’t know his name.  You’ve never seen his face.  He barely says a word, doesn’t even move much unless he needs to.  If he didn’t have such an obvious complex about droids, you would’ve thought he could be one himself, quietly forged and hidden beneath gleaming beskar armor for an untold number of years.  You know practically nothing about him other than the few things you’ve heard about his culture—most likely either grossly exaggerated or just flat out nonsense.  Everything about him is an enigma, even down to the vaguely impersonal things, such as the technical name for his “poof gun” or what insane percentage of his body weight metal has to account for.

But that doesn’t stop you.  Nope, the fact that you’ve never even seen a strip of his skin doesn’t stop you from nursing a stupid, helpless crush on the quiet bounty hunter.  Stars, it’s ridiculous.  The modulated, low baritone, the intimidating way he carries himself, so stoic and dark and foreboding and tall—

He terrifies you.  You’re absolutely terrified of bothering him, of being too forward or inquisitive.  You sit in the cockpit with him for hours in dead silence, kid perched on your lap in the copilot’s seat to keep him from touching anything, hypnotized by the way his helmet subtly reflects the streaks of hyperspace as they race by and thinking about all the impossible things you want to know but can never ask about.  The last thing you want to do is accidentally test his patience, possibly get marooned on some backwater planet somewhere because you just couldn’t accept something so beautifully mysterious for what it is.

So you ultimately strive to be almost as quiet as he is, always helpful but never in the way.  You troubleshoot mechanical issues with the vessel when they make themselves known, take the baby in one of the secluded areas of the hull and play peekaboo for a bit when he gets too fussy, or just pick up a rag and start cleaning when there’s nothing else to occupy your time.  You sleep occasionally, curling up on the floor of the hull with a blanket to avoid taking up too much space, living out of your suitcase and making a generous ten percent of his commissions just by copiloting and keeping watch over the child while he works.  With the strict schedule he keeps, your pay is always handsome and consistent, even if it is all a bit boring.

Watching him wrestle his bounties into carbonite is admittedly the most exciting part for you, the rest of your days filled with nothing but the interior of the vessel as it either travels through hyperspace or sits stationary on a planet.  He always returns to you bruised and dirty, manhandling and shoving his bounties up the ramp and into the carbonite chamber one by one, not bothering with the fuel needed to collect payment until at least three or four have been retrieved.

You try not to constantly replay the incredibly vivid memory of one of them snarling something sexually obscene at you once and how quickly the bounty hunter whipped his fist out and broke his nose before freezing him.

“Isn’t… isn’t he still conscious in there?”  You remember asking, studying the disgustingly crooked angle of the man’s shattered silver nose, to which the Mandalorian shortly replied, “Yes,” before clambering into the cockpit and taking off.

i love when i see hanleia posts talking about how their bickering/butting heads is not because they are "toxic" but because they both see each other more honestly than the other one wants because it's.... so important to me

like leia KNOWS he is a good man under the bluster. he can't abandon people, even when he tries really hard to. his heart is so big, and he HATES IT. and she sees it and he HATES THAT MORE, because it's vulnerable and she just gets right to the heart of him in one (1) millisecond

but because of all that. he KNOWS she loves him. like most ardently, most annoyingly, LOVES him, and that the feeling is so big that she doesn't have any time or bandwidth to even begin to process it

and when he presses her buttons and gives voice to the feeling she is resolutely ignoring, she gets SOOO annoyed because he sees her so clearly and then he has the audacity to be smug about it!!!! as if it wasn't trying enough

and throughout esb leia is trying to get han to admit he is a good man and han is trying to get leia to admit she loves him (except those two things are contingent on each other, leia loves him in part because he is a good man, and han is a good man in part because someone loves him so fiercely, so to admit one is to acknowledge the other, and even though they both want to be Right, they also both HATE being seen)

but then she is losing him!! and because he's sacrificing himself for them, she knows he can't run from being a good man anymore. and she can't run from her feelings either. so she says "i love you"

and when han says "i know" instead of i love you, its maybe a small part tongue in cheek i told so, because he is a smug bastard, but mostly him saying im glad you got here too. ive been waiting

so in the end, han admits he is a good man by making sure chewie will protect leia

and leia admits she loves him

and he says i know. because he has the whole time. and he's so glad she does

You think losing Tech will give Wrecker even more of a reason to be afraid of heights now?

Let's get into this "Tech is dead" thing...

Until someone from the show confirms that Tech is dead, I don't believe it. We've seen this before. Echo died in an explosion. Nope. Ahsoka fell when she dueled Vader. That didn't stick. Maul, Palpatine, Leia, Mace Windu...okay, that last one is still in the air. But my point is that we never saw a body. Face it. If they wanted Tech dead, they would have given him a shoulder wound. I lost track of how many times that proved fatal this season.

For starters, it would be a very bad move! Tech was probably the most loved character on the show even before they further developed his character this season. To remove him from the show would deprive a lot of people of someone who gives them a feeling of true representation in Star Wars.

Then there's Phee. That last "conversation" she tried to have with him was awkward and very specific. They animated him in such a way that he was obviously avoiding eye contact. He was uncomfortable. He didn't want to say goodbye. I don't think he knew how. It looked to me like they were setting us up for a reunion scene.

Now let's talk about Hemlock. Him being in possession of Tech's goggles is another reason I think he's alive. When he held out the goggles and said, "I'm afraid this is all I could salvage," it suggested to me that Hemlock has him. It doubly struck me since he had just used the term "fascinating" in the same spirit of scientific curiosity Tech had used earlier in the season with the Zillo Beast. The only way I can see Tech being alive but not captured in this scenario would be if there is a raging river or deep crevasse beneath the train and all they found nearby was the goggles. (Which means that, if he is alive, we will finally get that goggleless Tech we've been wanting to see so badly all this time.)

Let's not forget the most important thing of all. Tech is an incredibly capable soldier. He is resourceful, exceptionally well-trained, and was fully kitted-out when he fell. It's not hard for me to imagine him using a grappling hook and cable or other means to keep from falling to his death. He said it himself. He has the "ability to think clearly in stressful situations". And if Hemlock has him, he's going to need it.

All this gives me great hope for season three. If Hemlock does have Tech, he would have him transferred to Mt. Tantiss on Weyland. Now, Crosshair and Tech are together with other no-longer-Imperial clones. Omega is there with Nala Se, who wants Omega as far from there as possible. Nala Se is no longer in a cell, but working in a lab—under guard, but with access to equipment. Factor in Omega's clone sister and this has all the earmarks of an epic escape episode.

Fingers crossed.

Reasons why I believe this isn't a final Death

denial

There's a couple parallels between Tech's death and Echo's supposed death. First of all, we don't see a body in either case. Not Echo's and also not Tech's. We do see Echo's charred helmet and we see Tech's broken goggles later on. The team also had to leave right away in both cases, otherwise they would've been captured/killed. And they both sacrificed themselves for the team. If Echo didn't die, then why should Tech?

Denial

All that character building this season. Like of that was for nothing, then that was terrible writing. If that was to make us more attached to Tech so that his death hurt more, that is also terrible writing. I mean, he got a whole ass lovestory-in-the-making and that's the character you'll kill off?? c'mon. just as he was learning more about people and showing affection and social interaction, and learning how to properly and respectfully communicate with Omega??? that's when you kill him off? c'mon.

DENIAL

The fact that it was Hemcock that found him. You know the guy who does experiments on clones? Why lose such a valuable test subject? if there were any signs of life from Tech, he must've saved him, if only to use him and maybe modify him (again, Echo parallels)

DENIAL

✨ star wars medicine ✨

I mean, last season Hunter fell down a cliff from a moving ship and he survived just fine. I'm just saying.
