G o d the concussion realization is such a mood, it took days for me to notice my own when I got one!

Im surprised he was moving around like his brain wasn’t on-fire from going at a pace faster than a slow walk :,) put Gene in a cave so he doesn’t have to deal with bright lights!!!

skdfhsjkd it helps that the sky was red before (not too much light) and then he was mostly inside with just lanternlight after that! but walking around to fetch water is a sheer act of stubbornness, smhmh 🥲

#oceandi answers #maniacalsmirks #generic protagonist #the adrenaline of the sky being red and space-time being in danger helped during that whole thing at least lol #funny enough I don't remember much about my (admittedly minor) concussion aside from the headache? #mainly the whiplash stood out. man that hurt. makes sense bc I was in the back seat where the other car hit though #also I was super upset because my car had been totaled 😔😔😔 #but that's neither here nor there #wait huh was I on here at that point? I wonder if I posted about it #ahhh nope I made my art blog a few months after that

Random live-blogging of the Mandalorian, 1x5 The Gunslinger, commence!

I’d forgotten how the Razor Crest was nearly blown to little bits in the beginning of this episode, but, duh, this is why he needed repairs from Pelli

If beskar as armor is part of one’s soul, is the Razor Crest just like another layer on the soul/beskar onion as armor itself?

So Din’s just left Sorgan, you could easily insert a few more days or weeks between leaving Sorgan to getting into this dogfight...

Fic ideas, Din as the Crest rattles and burns around him, acutely aware of the Child beside him, thinking of the void out there past metal and plastisteel; Din and Grogu *leaving* Sorgan, that trip on the cart out of the village contrasted with the trip to the village, seeing the sunrise when they arrived and the sunset when they left? Think of how much better they know each other after this time, consider them having private conversations on the trip away from the village, just in head tilts and expressions? Ahhh they probably wouldn’t be that good at communicating yet, but then again, fic.

I love how fucking petty Din is, “that’s my line”

I love how the Crest flying off after Din explodes the guy chasing them is so fucking Western it makes my heart sing

Ohhh I saw the shot with the single pauldron! Also Din seemed much much more confident with Grogu than he did in the previous episode. Rocked that baby to sleep like a pro

What’s the cloth coming out of all the stormtrooper helmets on pikes? Their underwear? Their tiny shrouds of Turin???

Peli’s such a babe

Is there a Peli action figure? I want a Peli dammit.

I swear I heard Grogu literally crying when he wakes up andrealizing there’s something inside the ship, I don’t think I’ve ever heard him do that before or since? Maybe I just forgot

Poor Din though, because that can’t be nice to rock to sleep sometimes

Is the sound I hear as “uwuu” what people think is him saying “patu”? Because I don’t think I’ve ever heard that either

Oh shit I am starting to be able to read the Aurebesh, I’m in too deep

Awww hello Frog Lady! We were talking in Discord about how long did Peli really know Frog Lady (she told Din she just met her, yet knew how to speak the language of a really rare species?) Some voted that Peli just takes space duolingo lesions and learned Frog language as a lark, but I think she and Peli had really been besties for months by the time Din gives Frog Lady a ride.

I love how solid and real and built-in-somebody’s-garage most droids are in the SW universe

IT’S FENNEC

I’m so glad the show isn’t about the young bounty hunter, I’m just so grateful everyone useful in this show is in their 30s or older

Pedro’s voice acting is so absolutely *done* with this jackoff kid

Callahan? Catalan? Caliphaunt?

Din, seriously, how long did you think the baby was going to sleep???

Omg what if Grogu got used to really long naps when he was on Sorgan so Din thought he’d follow the same pattern, not realizing how important it is for kids to have a routine, and that he just abruptly upended it!

So is Peli a mom, or just a cool aunt? She does know a lot about raising young ones, but it does strike me as a more distant knowledge than motherhood.

I fucking love the music as the two of them ride off on their speeder bikes, it’s so pretty and utterly perfect for traveling

Oh damn I can see the seams of the dome thing they shoot the show on

Hahahahah Tuskens appearing like SUP

Love the signing sooooo much

I swear I used to have a toy dew back when I was a kid, or maybe I just always wanted it?

Oh Fennec, shooting a hole in Mando’s cape

“But I don’t wear any beskar!” “Nope” XD

Ming-Na Wen’s eyelashes are incredible in any role! I literally recognized her at Disneyland by the eyelashes before I saw the rest of her face

Who are you calling OLD MAN, kindergarten rat, that man is in his fucking PRIME

Pedro’s voice sounds extra nice tonight, for no reason

Din is SMOLDERING LITERALLY how did I FORGET THIS

Is there room for whump there? Is our man burned? No, I don’t know if I can write him burned even somewhat, burns are too mean! They hurt too much.

I wonder how Fennec knew about the Tribe being killed? Did Din realize there was a threat there? That something might have already happened? I guess not because he was so shocked in the Redemption. But what if he remembered that later? Ooooh, another angsty flc idea - Din remembering that comment about “I heard it didn’t go so well on Nevarro, but you got out all right” and realizing that being on Sorgan meant he left them undefended?

Poor Fennec, she overplayed her hand! Made the douchebag want the Mando reward too much and got shot ;____; Just glad Boba was there to save her

But really though, how did she survive

Also this guy’s an idiot, you would DEFINITELY need Fennec Shand to help you take Mando down, I mean, you just would

At least he didn’t know what Grogu was really for and just run off with him!!! What if the thought strikes Din in the night? What if the guy had just left with Grogu instead of waiting for Din to return?

“Took you long enough, Mando!” “Fuck you, I was riding a dewback”

I do love the two-handed baby grab Din does, it’s just sweet

How much extra did Mando pay Peli? We don’t know but it’s clear he’s a generous sort

Almost all of Mando’s concept art is capeless here, I wonder why? And in that last shot he is definitely carrying a body wrapped in a sheet on the back of the dewback???

Onto chapter 6!
