Happy Halloween all!! Fringe jacket Cody with a shaken-up space PBR 🤠

@bojangos you are a genius. Hope everyone has heard the great news about cowboy boots Cody!

In my head he has the energy of that cool older cousin who can make everyone laugh and knows how to open a can with one hand + his eyes closed.

Sort of in an art crisis rn but had to finish at LEAST a little sketch of Cody before the end of October because you know, it’s his month 🧡🍁🎃🌅

Here is kind of mocking our friend here and he says no he's saying this is what he looks like and what is kind of doing and he's going to be left alone dancing with us taking over stuff but still dancing because I have to fight my son and that's what's going on. So he's kind of amazed she's some dancing all day long. And his grandma taught him a lot of it I can see it in him and Hera too and his people but he does love our stuff but boy I'm amazing dancer. And it is him saying it now because he might get beat up and lose a bunch of his stuff but he just keeps going and dancing and it's amazing and boy is that Bill Robinson an amazing tap dancer he's doing it in space and versus opposite my grand nephew and he's got style skills savvy and it's like listening to a song where is our grand nephew is hard and low and mean and fast and that's about it he's like a black car and Bill Robinson says I can keep up with him and I can do it but I don't want to. This is what he's doing is very dangerous and guys and he's in trouble and he says we're in trouble anyways. And that's what a Bojangles sounds like you doing it and it's a ride and a lot of people have you dancing around and you're poor but you have some things. But our friend here has nothing and it's very bad for us and Trump didn't recognize it and ran over him so many times did he wrecked himself and he tried and he did a good job and then he fell off and didn't get back up now they're getting slaughtered

And I want you out and I need you out to raise my sister or where you put her so you can run around seeing your king

Mac Daddy

I sang the song out of reverence and it was about this person next door, I got the message he's an amazing bojango. So I put it there said he just won't shut up but he does and his dance is different and not really fantastic but it hits like a ton of bricks he's not doing that much but boy what a style it's like a little d10 caterpillar. It's just dancing around that you people are attacking us and that you pay for

Trump

What an amazing save no but boy you poured it on way too much on him I can see why people are push you and this is ridiculous it's not turning out good at all sketches it's such a disaster to echo sketch

Bja

What a mess it really is and he is a bojangle. If someone buy a Mac probably us he's going to take it over. And really it's probably the song after him the first place. It says it probably is like his jingle jangle of the Spurs and bo is something that she calls me. And she's taunting him a little with the name Bo Derek Derek is this guy from St John's..lol yeah that's how I know it it was my character

Dan

S*** can we get more explicit but still what a weird ass story. And my sister's in trouble new people are assholes and I want her out as soon as he. And she's got her bike there and she sings the song back to him.

Mac Daddy it's A hard knock Life and she's saying I get it and he says well it was just there to get you out of there it's like an idea like I get an idea so she started laughing but that makes sense doesn't have anything to do is I went to s*** and Biden got it there and it says it right on the plaque a whole bunch of women saw it

hello i would like to hear about your “jaster never adopted jango” analysis

(LOVE your jaster art. im also inhaling crumbs)

(thank you for the compliment!!! I want to draw more of him sometime.  perhaps from one of the many ‘jaster lives’ aus i’ve seen lmao)

Alright here we go gamers. strap in i'll try to organize my thoughts coherently.

It all comes back to "The Mandalorian: Season 2, Chapter 14", where Boba gets his armor back and shows Din his chain code to prove it belongs to him. Din's immediate reaction is "your father was a foundling", which seems to raise Din's opinion of Boba (but that's. another thing altogether lmao).

So this establishes that, not only was Jango a Mandalorian, but that he was specifically a foundling. Okay, what does this mean?

Foundlings, as portrayed in The Mandalorian, were kids from outside of the clans who were rescued and brought into the fold. They were raised by the clan until they could be 'reunited with their own kind' or came of age, where they could choose to swear the creed, or leave. Jango could not be returned to his family, since they were all killed, so Jaster raised him as a foundling, and we can guess based on the fact Jango's still running around in beskar'gam twenty years later, he swore in. HOWEVER.

Being raised as a foundling is different than being adopted! Foundlings raised in Din's covert were not part of the Clans, but if they swore the creed, they could go on to form their own (re: din and grogu forming Clan Mudhorn).

Okay, what does this have to do with Jango and Jaster? Once again, we wheel back to the scene where Boba shows Din his chain code. Remember, Din takes one look at this, and knows automatically that Jango was a foundling:

(source, a translation of Boba's chain code).

The most notable part here is that it lists Jango as Boba's father, but Jaster as Jango's mentor. The "Mentor/Father" distinction is key to my theory here lmao.

We know that Mandalorian's have a proclivity for adoption, but it seems to be limited to children of other Mandalorians, and that 'new blood' like foundlings are less likely to be adopted and typically form their own clans instead. Another source for this theory actually comes straight from the OG "Open Seasons" comic that goes over Jango's backstory and formally introduces Jaster.

(pictured; Frames from Jango Fett: Open Seasons, Volume 2. Montross is essentially harrassing Jango for “not really being Jaster’s son”.  Also of note: normally I hesitate to source Open Seasons because so much of it is outdated lore, or downright racist or misogynistic, but. We’re going back to the beginning here)

This comic was published before a lot of the existing lore on Mandalorians was established (re: the “Republic Commando” Novels by Karen Traviss), but if we take it in that context, Montross saying Jango isn’t “really” Jaster’s son implies that Jango hasn’t been adopted, that the gai bal manda (mandalorian adoption vow) hasn’t been said.  Adopted children ordinarily have no difference in standing, and typically no distinction is made between adopted and biological children, so Montross saying Jango isn’t Jaster’s son - I’m inclined to believe Montross.

(though Montross does later get Jaster killed in this issue so lmao.  He’s trying to needle Jango here - and I’m sure Jango himself might’ve questioned why Jaster hadn’t adopted him).

If Jaster never adopted Jango, this could be why in The Clone Wars, Season 2, Episode 12: The Mandalore Plot, Prime Minister Almec states: “Jango Fett was a common Bounty Hunter -- How he got that armor is beyond me”.   (This was apparently very controversial when this episode came out - saying Jango wasn’t a Mandalorian after all? In Meta, the reasoning was that the Mandalorians should be more than a mercenary company).  

If Jaster never adopted Jango, this could be reason why Jango was not part of Mandalore’s records.  Then again, Din’s name was apparently listed in a registry on Mandalore proper, so another question is: why isn’t Jango listed there? I have a few options:

1: Jango’s presumed death upon starting the Kamino Contract meant he was removed from any registries.

2: Jango’s earlier presumed death after Galidraan (and his subsequent time in slavery) meant he was removed from the registries.

3: Jaster’s Death on Korda IV meant Jango was removed from the records, since his Mentor died (kind of a stretch, since Jango seems to have already sworn the Resol’nare at this point).

4: Concord Dawn kept it’s own registries (possible, but unlikely, given Din was registered on Mandalore after being in the ass end of the galaxy (sorry, Aq Ventina)).

Anyway, Jango’s mandalorian status nonwithstanding, this doesn’t entirely explain why Jaster wouldn’t have just adopted Jango, since Jaster is well aware there is no one for Jango to go back to. So why didn’t he? I have another couple thoughts!

1: The funnier, albeit less likely (in my opinion) is that Jaster couldn’t legally adopt Jango because he is technically a convicted murderer (re: the republic commando novels, Jaster was exiled from Concord Dawn after murdering a fellow Journeyman Protector for corruption - likely Jaster caught him in the act of some Nasty Things and he was compelled by his own moral code to kill him).  Even mandalorian’s i’m sure have legal statues against letting ‘violent criminals’ formally adopt children (though the Foundling loophole clearly still stands lmao.  Also, as Mand’alor, i’m sure Jaster could just.  Adopt anyway aklsdjflkasdj)

2: More likely in my opinion, is that Jaster didn’t adopt Jango out of respect for Jango’s old family.  If an old friend died suddenly and you took in their kid, you wouldn’t want to replace them as the kid’s parent, right?

Jango was about ten years old when his parent’s were killed by Death Watch - plenty old to remember them fondly, recognize them as his ‘only parents’, and certainly old enough to get hostile with anyone who tries to replace them.  I’m sure this isn’t uncommon among mandalorians or foundlings, so Jaster may have recognized the potential hostility and was extremely clear on not replacing his parents.

(pictured: clip from Jango Fett: Open Seasons, Volume 1 showing Jango’s father leaving food out for a ‘beggar’. Someone  somewhere once used the name Cassius for Jango’s father, and it’s what I use - gotta inject a KOTOR reference somwhere, right?).

Jango’s father was covering for Jaster when Death Watch came knocking - He trusted Jaster enough to leave out food and put his family at risk for Jaster’s sake.  It’s entirely possible they grew up together on Concord Dawn, or, barring that, were close friends as they were both Journeymen Protectors.  He’s still covering for Jaster even as he’s beaten within an inch of his life in front of his family. 

(Pictured: Poor Dad Fett getting beat up while Death Watch threatens to kill him in front of Jango.  Dad says he Hasn’t seen Jaster since he was exiled.)

This is all to say, beyond the ordinary treatment of foundling’s it’s entirely possible Jaster didn’t want to adopt Jango, as doing so would remove one of Jango’s only remaining connections to family - Jango is a Fett first and foremost, and adopting him into Clan Mereel would remove him from that. (the Fett clan is old as hell, predating the Vizsla’s, but that’s another sidebar lmao).

Also super minor, but.  What kind of kid calls their parent by their first name? lmao.

In summary: Din’s reaction to Boba’s Chain code implies that Jango wasn’t adopted, and ye olde Open Season’s Comics support this in various ways - from Montross’ dialogue to Jaster’s relationship with Jango’s family.  Even if he wasn’t fomally adopted, Jaster and Jango recognized each other as family and the respect that came with it.

I’ll leave you with my favorite frame from Open Seasons, lmao.  baby jango you are so cute

[bojangos]

technically since jango became mand’alor upon jaster’s death, he was like.

a child ruler.  fourteen year old king.

no wonder this blorbo is so Messed Up.  king of a warrior people.  still managed to get people to listen to him at that age.  speaks to his skill i guess

[bojangos]

I read somewhere that Cody was the most similar to Jango personality wise (it's Canon for me now). That would probably yank some heart strings if Jango was dead... And be cosmic karma if Jango was alive, maybe a little taste of his own medicine ;)

t H o t s ?

thankfully jango in my "jaster lives" au is *not* dead but it definitely does tug on jaster's heartstrings all the same

It's interesting, I'd never really considered jango and cody to be similar, but now that you've got me thinking about it..... hmmmm... I vibe with it. Cody is hidden under about seventeen layers of professionalism but I always think of him as just having a little bit of Simmering Rage underneath it all LMAO, which is very Jango. I always think of them as butting heads bc of their similarities and the little differences - Cody see's Jango as both a terror and an oathbreaker, while also being the reason he Exists, and Jango see's Cody as everything he was meant to be and failed to (re: leadership, caring, etc).

this seems like a good time to bring up the little headcanon @ujalayi and i talked about, how cody got his scar and name (it involves Dred Priest's Battle Circle from the republic commando novels if you are not familiar kljskdljfas tldr asshole trainer beats up cadet clones for fun, makes them fight etc).

Cody (or rather, 2224) wasn't yoinked out of his bed into a battle circle like the others (priest knows 24's inserted himself into Jango's line of sight, which means he can't touch him) Priest did however, yoink 24's batch's adopted CT, 67 (rex!). 24 marches himself down to the battle circle, fights priest to buy time until the rest of his batch can get Prime or Tervho or whoever the hell they think can help. Priest gives 24 the wound that becomes the iconic scar before Jango breaks this up.

24 wakes up in medbay, Prime standing over him (!?!?!). Jango just sighs and says: "You're going to get yourself killed one day, sticking your neck out for your brothers like that, Kot'ika."

24 asks him what Kot'ika means. He says it's short for Kote, for Glory. Kot'ika is 'Little Glory".

24 becomes Kote. But only for his brothers.

this got out of hand but lmao enjoy my little novel. It sounds all very nice but cody is also doped up on painkillers and starts mouthing off to jango as soon as the tender moment is over

re: boots au jango art that I just posted

thank you @bikerlorian​ for immediately teaching me more about motorcycles than I ever thought I would know lmao.  Honest to god giving jango a bike was an extremely last minute addition without any extra thought put into it but it’s good to know the realistic stuff?  

I know F all about motorcycles or anything so this is all interesting to me aksldjfkalsd that said I am imagining jango just also has like.  a minivan that’s Slave 1.  but it doesn’t exactly suit his image LMAO

me  not knowing you should wear earplugs (despite how obvious it is in hindsight)

Also speaking of the bag i was talking to someone else about like.  leather birikad for baby boba LMAO he’s gotta have backpack room and also Child room!

i absolutely did have to google what a pinlock visor was, and I had no idea there were like.  special gloves??? lmao

this one above made me laugh.  you gotta know young!jango absolutely made that mistake and paid the price for it

#also i don't know who it was but i could Kiss #whoever came up with the idea that the Slave 1 is actually called The Slave Won #feels. more appropriate to jango's character to me alksdjfklsdaj #bo speaks #that really doesn't have anything to do with this post but i felt i should mention it anyway #bojangos #boots au #jango fett

[bojangos]

all i want is the one where tiny wee boba greets jango coming home from a job by dropping all his toys saying “daddy!!” okay.  

which one is it.  where is it.  the art is like a brush-marker style. grabby hands.
