#Luke is just wtf din

[sol-insidious]

“Din Djarin’s identity as a Mandalorian will always be central to his character, and his devotion to his orthodox religion, warrior’s creed, and its chivalrous code of honor is a truly noble one.”

and

“Din Djarin’s devotion to his creed has fundamentally isolated him from love, his role as The Tribe’s breadwinner was as unsustainable as it gave him purpose, and the fierceness of his faith stems from unprocessed trauma and the guilt he feels as an orphan and a foundling. His views on what it means to be a Mandalorian were narrow until he met others who didn’t conform to his own creed, and in this, his status as an voluntary oathbreaker is equally as integral to his character.”

…are both takes that co-exist in my mind.

okay but dinluke sleeping beauty AU, featuring maleficent!Luke and Aurora!Din ✨️

once upon a time, Luke and Leia used to be supreme knights in the court of the king, sworn to protect the kingdom at all costs, and both of them were sorta... fae entities, not entirely of this world. And they were faithful and fiercely loyal and loving, but the king turned bitter and evil, and so they planned to kill him. Then everything went to shit, Leia was put in prison for the time being, and Luke basically went into a coma, put in a glass casket to be taken to somewhere where the king was to subject him to an excruciating spell and basically bind him in agony for the rest of his life. Leia escapes prison over night, steals Luke's glass casket, and hides it somewhere so, so deep in the belly of the castle where not even the king has been to before. There he will be safe. Leia gets cought in the castle grounds as she tries to run with the key to the room where Luke sleeps; and she's killed trying to keep the key safe. The guards bring the key to the king; and he keeps it in his own room. It's not like Luke will run away anywhere anytime soon.

The whole betrayal scene happens the night before the birth of the prince, and its by the moment of Din's birth, when a fairy brings the bad omen, that Din will die at the night of his 21th birthday and the kingdom will fall to ruins.

The king is distraught, assured that this all somehow ties back to Luke. At night he goes to find the room, but the door is sealed shut and wont open even with the key, the walls are untouchable, the whole area reeks of magic. So he goes back to his room, stays up all night, and makes a decision to send Din away from the castle, Din will live with a humble family by the edge of the woods, and that way he'll be safe until his 21th birthday passes and he can come back to the castle.

days, months, years pass, and Din slowly grows up, he dreams at nights and in his dreams he sees a ghost; a knight with hair gold like sunlight, eyes pure like the lake at the heart of the woods, and din follows him, talks to him, he's mesmerised and he wants to know more about him. In his waking hours, he hears whispers, songs, memories. He finds things in the wood that he thinks, believes, were put there intentionally: flowers, etchings on the tree trunks, an intricately carved dagger. The ghost knight in his dreams tells him tales of the faraway lands, of beauty and evil, he tells him about the people and the kingdom and the king. sometimes he sees the knight wandering, and there are vines of roses wrapped around his armour, growing thicker and tighter as time goes by, digging into the mans skin, the neck, and Din watches as blood taints his pale skin, and the knight closes his eyes and says nothing.

7 days before Din's 20th birthday, he dreams and in his dream he asks the knight to dance with him. They dance the night away, and Din tells him that he's bound to him, that he wants to find him and offer his love and devotion to him. The ghost knight pauses; he tells Din that he's not free, and he might never be, that there's a curse and Din will die if he follows in his trail. Din tells him that he's willing to.

So Luke tells him the place of the key, and the hidden room in the dark belly of the castle, and Din sets for the castle. He arrives, unseen and unheard, at the night of his 21th birthday. Steals the key from the king's chamber at the dead of night, and sets for the hidden room. The key clicks and door gives way easy, and there he finds a sleeping knight in a glass casket; hair gold like sunlight, eyes closed, body dressed in armor rusted by the trace of rose vines growing in every direction, carpeting the walls and the ground.

Din slowly crosses the room, opens the casket, and kneels by it. He takes one of Luke's gauntlets, kisses each sharp knuckle, and tears his bottom lip on the corner of one. and he takes Luke's face in his hands and kisses him.

Luke opens his eyes; pupils wide, the corner of his lip tainted with din's blood.

#*honks her nose* it's me the clown churning out entire headcanons that she's not assed to write yet #you'd like to know the ending? yeah me too #this entire headcanon is built around Luke's lips being tainted with Din's blood; just so you know #dinluke #skydalorian #dinluke headcanon #sleeping beauty AU #Luke skywalker #din djarin #i gotta give my headcanons a proper tag wtf

[yourtokentrophywife]

so we're all collectively going to ignore the season 3 trailer that tells us that there will be absolutely no dinluke at all?

Luke showing Holocron videos of Anakin to Din:

Luke: So Din, this was my father, Anakin Skywalker.

Din: Heh, You look a lot like him

Din internally: Holy Force he looks just like Luke, but way more rugged and hot. Ooh, is that a scar? No! Stop it Din, you can't be having these thoughts about your boyfriend's dead force ghost dad!!!

Anakin appearing out of nowhere: Those thoughts are perfectly reasonable to have Din.

Din: WTF!?!

Soooooo. Been thinking about Din deciding to bring a Jedi to Grogu instead of giving him back to his kind now that he's attached and managing to catch himself one in rhe person of Luke with a shit tone of help from various persons. Now the tricky part os to keep him there.

Oooh, this could be dark or just himbo-Din at work. I love them both. It can also read of him seeing Luke and going, "ah, you're coming home with me." and just yoinking him away.

But Din would need a homestead/base. So, like if everything was mixed around a bit and he now has his home (though still, very fond of Mand'alor Din) and just goes "perfect environment to enrich a Jedi." And then goes on the hunt to bring one back.

Luke is the perfect one cause he isn't as intimidating as Ahsoka and is very, very pretty to look at in Din's demi/gay eyes. He's just nabbed and taken back to his new home and presented his new student/son.

Luke just, "I had my own place for a school?"

Din setting him down in front of Grogu, "This is my property and i already have the kitchen set up. Dinner will be ready in an hour. You two get to know each other." Helmet kisses them both and just goes about doing his own thing.

Luke, looking at Grogu, "WTF is up with your dad???"

"A lot. So, when can I call you papa?"

Can’t believe Thrawn is just vibing and these mfs are gonna show up in their stupid fancy ring hyper power ship with an entire enemies to lovers trope on board.

All I’m saying is, Thrawn, in the Star Wars equivalent of a Hawaiian shirt, is teaching Ezra Chiss martial arts on their exile planet. Ezra is making fun of him for being exiled twice. Lmaoooo everyone just hates you, Thrawn.

Thrawn’s expression changes to something almost pensive. HE REMEMBERS WHAG HE SAID TO ELI VANTO THAY ONE FUCKING TIME and he dunks his head in the sea bc he’s a silly idiot and he misses his bestie WHO HE WASNT BERY NICE TO NO NOT ONE BIT.

In Chiss land, Eli sneezes. No he’s not in Chiss land he’s out in the wilderness looking for Thrawn. All of Thrawn’s Ascendancy friends are there even Samakro. They have explorers hats and are adventuring through the jungle.

Idk what happens next. Sabine and Shin Hati kiss. Sabine realises she was never meant to be a Jedi bc she’s a mandalorian like duh.

Everyone finds Thrawn and Ezra at the exact same time. Thrawn and Ezra r like wtf then they all have a beach party because night sisters are allergic to sea water so Morgen straight up evaporates.

Ahsoka and Hera show up in the ghost with Jacen and Zeb and Kallus who brought a barbecue yipeee!

Luke Skywalker shows up with Din Djarin and Grogu searching for Grogu’s home planet.

Dinluke is real.

Somehow all the positive energy defeats the Grysks and they explode and die.

The end.

Sorry I’m not coping with the Ahsoka series very well. I love it but I am very afraid. Parts of it I don’t love. Ok I love that it’s funny as fuck to speculate about.

Okay so I just got an idea for a hilarious AU. Instead of Boba and Fennec showing up first on Tython, they are NARROWLY beat out by an imperial fighter that crashes. Din gets there just as Boba and Fennec are getting out to investigate too, cue dramatics of course, only for, whomst??? Tag and Bink and Cal to all crash out of the fighter, Cal throwing things at them for turning imp- they couldn’t help it they were just Little Guys and Anakin was so nice not to murder them! Cue more dramatics of Cal yelling that they had been in the same clan as him and they are BRETRAYERS- yes Din is confused and Boba is standing there like :[ real awkward and finally Cal turns to see him, rock in hand and lobs it at his head saying Boba never even told Cal he was still alive and what a bitch! Anyways, Din asks if any of them are Jedi and Boba laughs his ass off as Cal and Tag and Bink give him this look like :/ well no technically all of us flunked the first try for that one, but technically Cal————— anyways. Tag and Bink see little baby Grogu on the seeing stone and are so excited that’s little crechling Grogu remember all the pranks he pulled on the creche masters??? What a guy! And Din is all ‘I need someone to teach him’ and Cal vibrates into the next dimension in excitement and Boba is all ‘hey can I have my armor back’ and then the imps show up and they fight but Grogu stays cause Tag and Bink get kidnapped by them instead (they know important secrets and the Imps can’t lose them against or they’ll get fired. Out of a canon. Into the sun.) and now instead of rescuing Grogu Luke shows up to save Tag and Bink and is so freaking confused when they say his dad was a real great guy but super ugly in the end lol wtf.

Anyways. Grogu gets playmates and Cal tags along with Din to teach the baby and Boba wanders off in confusion and asks Fennec if she wants to kill Fortuna finally lol she’s down for murder. Nobody seems to notice when Tag and Bink are carried off by a Bantha and not seen again for a full month. Wtf.

#star wars #the mandalorian #din djarin #cal kestis #tag greenly #bink otauna #tag and bink #book of boba fett #boba fett #boba is so amused till cal and Din turn on the charm at the same time then he’s a mess #Grogu #Jedi reunion #Jedi finding each other in the wild is so funny to me

[this-acuteneurosis]

Random. But do you have any star wars fic recs ? Fics recs of any kind are welcome actually ^_^

Oh, uh, sure.

Let's see, I've mentioned @chancecraz a bunch of times, I love all their stuff, if I had to pick a favorite I'd say Of Queens, Knights, and Pawns but how does one really choose?

I've also mentioned @fialleril and Double Agent Vader, which really got me into the SWs fandom in the first place. I love everything I have ever learned, it hits me so hard in the feels each time. (I also really loved Sigyn's Saga if we're also talking not-SW stuff.)

I enjoyed The Desert Sun series by @blue-sunshine-mauve-morning. (I will be honest, I have only read the first series I have not started Rise and Fall.) It's engaging and fun and thoughtful.

doing it by my lonesome and staring down the barrel of the hot sun by magneticwave are two fun Luke/Din stories featuring appropriately cute Grogu. I also liked pages filled with scribbled ink, which is an epistolary Padmé/Obi-Wan fic that had me cackling. (their non-SW stuff is good too, I especially enjoyed just me against the sky)

Other...serious(?) recs include: The Wingless Dragon by husborth if you like being sad and horrified about Vader's bad choices. Food Scandal by Malicean for some situational hilarity and for lots of OC perspective on Imperial bureaucracy (my other weakness aside from politics). PRojects IN Controlled Environments by Beth Winters for Imperial R&D bureaucracy, more situational hilarity, and very relatable coworker nonsense.

More silly/fun premises include: Compromising by samvelg, which inspired me to write a (very different) Piett POV of Luke and Vader nonsense. Memo: Jedi Maintenance (The Care and Feeding of Your Jetii) by RainofLittleFishes is exactly what it says and what you would hope for from such a title. Luke Skywalker is Altogether Too Likeable by Mokulule is another Piett POV of Skywalker nonsense.

As far as Non-Star Wars recs

It would be a crime and sin if I didn't mention Embers by Vathara , an Avatar the Last Airbender fic which honestly changed my life and how my brain was shaped.

World Ain't Ready by @idiopathicsmile is a Les Mis fic I've gone back to a few times. The dialogue is just really good. I spend a lot of the fic laughing, and also screaming at the characters.

I fell absurdly in love with Second person familiar, I think because it tickles some part of me that just dies over linguistics, and I'm a fan of pretty much everything @jackironsides has done for The Witcher.

Salvage by @muffinlance is a very fun Avatar the Last Airbender fic about Zuko getting reluctantly adopted by Hakoda (it's so good).

Finding the Line by Miss_Lazy_Tuesday is a Batfam fic that sort of ruined me at one point, it's fine. (I enjoy their other stuff too.)

The Angel of Hell's Kitchen by MarbleGlove is a Daredevil fic. I don't really go here, but this was about social structures, bureaucracy, and doing the work, and we all know I can't help myself.

Reconstruction by rageprufrock is the story of Stephanie Rogers, but like, it's Pru writing it. So. Characters are great. World building is great. Tension and longing and grief are great. I cannot stress enough how good the academic and news article asides are. Like, it's good. Incomplete, but so good.

Ordinary Numbers by BootsnBlossoms and Kryptaria, a James Bond fic that I keep coming back to because I too would be a sucker for someone who sent me needlessly expensive gifts.

And This, Your Living Kiss by opal_bullets is a Supernatural fic about poetry. I am not in this fandom, but again, my weakness for language gets me every time.

ever fallen in love (on national TV)? by ganymede_elegy is a GoT Jonsa modern Bachelor AU and...guys I cannot express how much I Do Not Go here, and how much I still recommend this fic. Like, it's just...I don't know. It worked. In spite of me knowing nothing about GoT or The Bachelor. wtf

survival of the fittest by cywscross is a short Naruto fic about a very unpleasant adventure for Sakura and Shikarmaru that just...worked. As a story. Dunno, I just really like it.

I could be wrong, I could be ready by harryromper is a Harry/Draco fic where they are disasters and traumatized, and it is about healing and building houses as a metaphor for overcoming trauma, and it's fine, I'm fine.

eternity will be born from hope by theseviolentdelights99 is a Yuri!!! on Ice fic that is about a time traveling Yuuri who (you'll never guess) goes back in time and does bureaucracy in his hometown and his sport to help the people that he loves. The unreliable narrator is excellent, the social media asides are wonderful, and it's not complete but it is exactly my poison.

(Wow, this is so long and all over the place...)

#fic rec #I did not think I would find this many things #huh #please tell me if a link doesn't work #there are so many

[giacarangi86]

I am so entertain by the stories of fans' reaction to Luke's love affairs with other characters.

Luke/Han

Fans: oh cool, there is really a lot of chemistry between them, just an experienced sexy man and a cute twink)

*Han takes a liking to Leia*

Fans: :(

Luke/Leia

Fans: OH GOD THEY KISSED OH WE'RE BURNING IT WAS AWESOME WANT LEIA TO CHOOSE LUKE!

Luke: Leia, you are my sister.

Fans: .... WTF? *and a bunch of other swearing*

Luke/Mara Jade

50% Fans: oh cool, Luke has a wife

50% Fans: oh no, Luke is gay, what kind of wife?

George Lucas: NO, DON'T TELL ME ABOUT MARA JADE, LUKE NEVER GET MARRIED, GET OUT OF HERE!

Mark Hamill: If you think Luke is gay, then it's good, yes he is gay, you can think so)

Fans: great, now we know for sure that Luke is gay, it remains to find him a decent man!

*Luke ship with more men*

Fans: no, not that, there must be someone cooler!

Din: Are you a Jedi?

Fans: 😳😳😳

Entire tumblr the next day: *explodes the fuck* yeah he's too dumb but he definitely suits our twink!

[ooops-i-arted]

Let’s go ahead and do Grogu + Child development for season 3 episode 3 because I honestly don’t have a lot of commentary since Grogu’s screentime is minimal.

(I will say I am still VERY curious still what Pershing was doing with Grogu specifically.  We know he was harvesting blood but what about DNA?  He talks about cloning - is the 101 Yoditos AU still a possibility???  Will we have an army of Grogru clones?????  Let me dream!!)

Right off the bat we see Grogu once again making sure Dad is okay.  You know, Din, it’s not healthy for your child to see you in danger so often, it’s gotta give him anxiety.  (Great tv for us, though.)  He’s patting Dad a bit, perhaps he remembers Cara looking after Din when they were trapped in the cantina in Redemption?  He definitely knows Dad would never want the helmet off.  (I loved the “wtf???” look he gave Bo & Friends in The Heiress when they took theirs off.)  Even after he’s in the pod, he’s still watching Dad, seeming concerned.

I wonder if we’re going to see more of his ability to connect with the living Force?  We know now he “connected” with Luke somehow during the Scotty Beam Me Up rock meditation sequence, and we saw him connect with and calm the rancor.  Does Grogu sense the mythosaur at all?  Will he be the one to ride the mighty beast?  We know there’s a Jedi out there who specializes in animal connection - I know I complain about excessive cameos a lot but I wouldn’t be as mad if it was Ezra Bridger, who I actually really like, come to teach Grogu some more Force stuff.  But this is all speculative and I digress.

Of course the big question is once again whether Grogu spoke.  Did he say “This is the Way”?  I think he intended to.  These new sounds are different than the stock baby sounds and even the classic patu.  I think Grogu is more purposefully trying to speak and imitate Basic!  This shows a huge leap in observational and cognitive skills.  We’ve already seen him put together that sounds can be communication and he can use them to get his needs met.  Now he’s at the next step, trying to speak so that he can communicate with people on their level!  It’s honestly a really huge step because a late learner has to want it on some level.  If they don’t care, they don’t get it.  (Had a student years ago, not a native English speaker and didn’t care about learning English or understanding us, until we put snowflake window clings up and she finally learned to speak just to ask us if she could have them, because she loved Elsa.  Before that she didn’t give a shit no matter what we tried to do to engage her.)

Side note but I am SO glad Grogu can close his new pod too.  It’s good he recognizes an unsafe situation and does it himself without being asked.  He really is paying attention to details so much and reacting quickly!  (Or maybe he’s just like, “there’s no way this lady will let me sit in her lap and have fun” and/or “there’s no way she’s as good a driver as dad” and just did it for that reason lol.)  I bet he wasn’t happy about having to do a whole trip away from Dad, ugh.  Think Bo spent that whole time putting Din on speaker because Grogu wouldn’t stop whining unless she did?  She’s still mostly an unknown to him, though she was pretty nice to him last episode, so he might’ve tried to test her.

For the end scene he’s pretty much just a quiet observer.  Writing-wise, he’s not really relevant to the scene, but I also think he’s picked up from Din that the Armorer is someone to be respectful of and listen to, and once again is imitating his primary caretaker.  Maybe next time we’ll get to see the other Mandos and Mando kids interacting with and playing with him?  Or Din and Paz get in a fight and Paz is very surprised when he’s thrown across the room lol?  If Grogu is officially a Mando now, I think it’d be fun to get to know his tribe members!

[literally-who-let-me]

there may b one out there but i would very much like a dinluke fic where din is on coruscant to b introduced to the senate or whatever and leia is like “NO ONE mention my brother is a jedi” and like basically stressing or whatever but then luke shows up and din just melts and luke is like “you haven’t contacted me in WEEKS i thought u were dead wtf” and then they do the forehead touch kiss in front of everyone. fic writers if you could make that happen i will literally kiss you on the mouth

Random thoughts during The Mandalorian S3:E1 “The Apostate”

*******WARNING: SPOILERS*******

Last chance. Turn back now. No? You good!? You okay!? You sure!? Okay, then let’s get into this:

*Bo-Katan was right. They are absolutely a cult.

*Holy shit! TF with the giant ass crock in the river?!

*Um. If a massive reptile like that surfaced while I was in the middle of my weird cult baptism, I’d consider that a sign from whatever god or ancestors I worshipped that this shit just isn’t for me.

*Din coming in clutch for his cult.

*Crock guts all over the beach! Yes!

*So… Din and the Armorer are having EXACTLY THE SAME conversation that they had in The Book of Boba Fett… again. Because, oops! We did two whole ass episodes of the Mandalorian (which ironically had no Boba Fett despite him being the titular character) because we felt like the name “Boba Fett” couldn’t hold its own weight in fandom, and now folks are going to be lost and confused. Good work!

*Hmm… space whales… Wasn’t I JUST TALKING ABOUT SPACE WHALES!?!

*Is Din asleep at the wheel? He looks like he’s asleep at the wheel. Is it okay to sleep through hyperspace? Come on, Din.

*Wow. Nevarro has been glammed up!

*We have a tree full of Salacious Crumbs….

*Ooo! We have a street band!?! Holy shit! It’s like Mediterranean Europe!

*Greef Karga is dressed to the nines, and he has TWO droids pulling his train. Jeeze, bruh! Class. Nice touch. Carl killing it!

*Greef: I thought you had completely your mission, but you’re still running around here with the same critter.

Din: It’s complicated.*

TRANSLATION: I met a “Jedi” named Ahsoka Tano that freaked out because Grogu had formed an attachment to me, and she refused to have anything to do with his training. She sent me on a wild goose chase across the galaxy to a mountain top in the middle of nowhere so that Grogu may reach out to other Jedi that may take on the task that she was unwilling to do. The kid was kidnapped by the remnants of the Empire, so I amassed a rag-tag team of bad ass lesbians plus Boba Fett to help me rescue him. It nearly went bad, but another Jedi named Luke Skywalker came, rescued us and took Grogu to some unknown forest planet. I went to see Grogu on that planet with Luke, and damn it if Ahsoka Tano wasn’t there… convincing Luke that training Grogu was a bad idea, so Grogu came back to me. Now here we are.

Yeah. That is complicated….. good job making that shit simple.

*Is that a bowl of strawberry Skittles on Greef Karga’s desk? Those look like Skittles. Skittles are now canon. Space whales and skittles… but no gays (scratch that: Gilroy gave us two gays because he’s got balls).

*Wild theory, but hear me out: Greef arguing with these pirates at the doorstep of the school are currently harboring the kids that are going to show up in “The Skeleton Crew”. Jude Law is in there right now lecturing them about something mildly relevant, but he’s not going to be revealed here. The pirates are going to chase Law and the kids out of town because of this interaction right here, and they’re going to get lost when they veer off the trade route somehow (probably via those stinking purrgil). This is the Mandalorian tie-in. Wait for it.

*Oop! Cara Dune mentioned. RIP… your actress was an idiot.

*He, uh, slick passed Grogu like a basket ball just now. WTF? That’s a baby!

*Ahhhh!!!!!

The Babu Frik species!!!!

HEY HEYYYYY!!!!

*Din (when Grogu starts grabbing at the Babu Frik dude): He’s young.

Bitch, he’s like, 50. WTF!?! He should absolutely know better than to snatch up another sentient being like that. Train your child better, my man!

*Oh Din, don’t teach Grogu to fly. He still poops his pants. This is the real reason Ahsoka noped out of his training. Grogu is still in pampers, and Ahsoka is a 45-year-old auntie that just wants stir unnecessary shit in the galaxy after sleeping for 8 hours a night.

*Woo!!! Space battle!!!!

*Din: (during said space battle) SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!

Grogu: *chuckling*

*WTF was that fern pirate guy even!?! Oh my god. He was totally a house fern; a walking, talking, sentient, humanoid house fern. That was your inspiration!?

*Holy Shit!! Bo’s ancestral castle! Yum! It’s got concrete walls, House Kryze banners, an ocean view, greenery, fancy statues and a throne. Yes, Bo! Yes!

*Oh no… Bo is brooding on her throne.

*Hmm. Oddly, she doesn’t have her throne blanket in this scene… which absolutely leads me to believe that she becomes so insufferable later in this season that her wife (I can’t tell you if it’s Koska or Ahsoka, but it’s one of them) kicks her out of the bedroom.

*Good to see that despite what appears to be a pretty nasty depressive episode Bo-Katan is in the midst of, she still a seething bitch. That’s my girl!

*I feel like not giving Bo-Katan some sort of comfort animal for her to stroke while she sat sodding on her throne was a missed opportunity (maybe one of those weird dog creatures that were eating the Mantell mix on Shili in TOTJ would have been cool). Opportunity missed, man.

*Mmm… her hatred… I feel her disdain for Din. Damn. She’s tempering her more violent tendencies though, so this gives me hope that she will indeed survive this season.

*Someone call Ahsoka…. Ahsoka has this way of making brains release serotonin and oxytocin with her presence. Have her fix Bo-Katan!

Final thoughts:

Hmm. Visually, it was beautifully done. Nice sound track. Clearly talented director. The writing was kind of hokey (which, I blame Andor for the fact that I even noticed… as Star Wars was always hokey until Tony Gilroy showed up), but it wasn’t absolutely terrible. I love Pedro Pascal. That goes without saying. Katee Sackhoff did a great job delivering Bo, but she’s done it for so long, I feel like she IS Bo. Still worried for my girl, but not nearly as much as before. Not a bad episode. I’m for it. Good. Good.

thanks for tagging me @oonajaeadira​ ❤️

Tag some mutuals you want to get to know better! Copy and paste into a new post--don't reblog please!

Favourite time of the year: Fall. My optimal ambient temperature is about 65 degrees. I love when it cools off enough that I am not a constant ball of sweat. I love when it's cool enough for hoodies and maybe needing an extra blanket at night. I also love the way the air smells when the leaves start to turn. Halloween! Crunchy leaves! My husband and I both have fall birthdays, so that's also nice.

Comfort food: Spaghetti and meatballs. Spaghetti sauce with meatballs is one of my favorite things to cook. I also put some Italian sausage in there.To do it right, you've got to cook it low and slow for hours. It makes the house smell sooooo good. The hubby and son are perfectly content with leftovers so I usually make a pretty big batch. And really, is there anything in life better than a nice pile of pasta drowning in sauce?

Favourite dessert: Pie. Pretty much any kind of pie. I learned how to make pies around the time I quit smoking. This was almost 20 years ago, but I remember everything just tasting amazing. It was a delicious mistake. I was the one who quit smoking but me and the hubby both gained weight. I mostly save them for the holidays now. I love a slice of warm from the oven apple pie with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream and maybe a bit of sharp cheddar cheese.

Things you collect: Rocks, fossils, bones, feathers and shells. I can't go anywhere in nature without coming home with a pocket full of rocks.

Favourite drink: Diet Dr. Pepper

Favourite musical artist: This is so hard. Right now I am going to call it a tie between Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and David Bowie.

Last song you listened to: Golden State-- Eddie Vedder & Natalie Maines

Last movie you watched: I haven't sat down and watched a movie in a while. Might have been a Prospect re-watch.

Last series you watched: The Sandman.

Series you’re currently watching: Crash Course Geography. It's a show on youtube. The episodes are only about 15 minutes a pop but I feel like I've learned more about geography from this show than I ever did in high school.

Current obsession: Pedro Pascal (obviously), The Sandman, especially The Corinthian. WTF. I did not need another hot villain in my life. Dominion, the card game. We've been teaching my son how to play. We've only got the first edition base game, but that has plenty of repeat play-ability on its own. My son is 8 and he regularly kicks the shit out of us at Dominion. He got the basic mechanics after like two hands and now he routinely clobbers us. It's interesting because he will do things that look like they should absolutely not work and then when it's time to count up the victory points he's absolutely  kicked our asses. It makes me feel like I'm raising him right, or at least, that he is succeeding despite me.

Dream place to visit: Ireland, Scotland, Germany. These are places where my family has roots and I would like to see them first hand.

A place you’ve been that you want to go back to: Tokyo. Kenai, Alaska. Joshua Tree. Maui.

Something you want: For it to get cold enough to kill the mosquitos. I can't even hang out with my outside cat without turning into chuck steak. Also about 8 more hours in each day.

Currently working on: Halloween costume research. My son wants to be The Mandalorian (YAY!) He wanted to be Luke Skywalker and then he saw a pre-made Mandalorian costume at Sam's Club and he was like "If you don't think you can make one more realistic we can always buy this one." *cracks knuckles* are you challenging me little boy? He wants to be Mando, he's cast my husband as Cobb Vanth (hubs would make a fantastic Cobb Vanth) and he wants me to be Cara Dune. So I've got some work to do lol. Also I've been working on a Liminal AU fic and a Din Djarin x insecure!reader fic.

Luke really just put the kid in a box and shipped him via FedEx, didn't he

#like???? #dude you can't just ship kids via x-wing #like wtf #luke skywalker #grogu djarin #grogu #tbobf 1x07 #tbobf spoilers #tbobf #din djarin #din and grogu #dinluke

Grogu stars levitating out of no where so Din goes to Luke and is like "hey wtf is this?" and at first Luke has *no idea* so being the favorite grandson of the Force, he meditates on it......and finds himself floating as well.

That's why Din has a child leash for Grogu and Luke MUST hold his hand at all times now. Mando has had enough of this Force BS

Din has a BIG investment in child-leashes of all sizes, honestly. Both Luke and Grogu need them. Not only do they float away, they wander.

Something shiny? Oh, there goes Luke. Something smells good? Off goes Grogu. Din is just standing in the middle, keeping them both at bay and not causing mayhem.

#owl inbox #dinluke #he loves them both dearly
