Ugh I love the first episode of The Mandalorian so much!! I don't think there could have been a better introduction to the series. It sets up the entire story so well.
In such a short amount of time you're introduced to this ruthless bounty hunter and his cool ship who, thanks to glimpses of his traumatic past and despite not knowing if he's 'good' or not, you can't help but immediately root for. It's so cool to see Din accept the job which changes his life forever and his little interactions with various figures which clue you into what kind of man he is.
I also love that he's not invincible and has flaws. We see him flying through the air once or twice. Plus the initial encounter with the Ravinak always has me stressed, even though I know the outcome! That scene in particular shows how he can use his experience and wits to get out of precarious situations. He started the Razor Crest and launched it before dealing with the creature. So cool, calm and collected it's truly enthralling watching him do his thing!!
Plus, Din's weapons and armour don't make him invincible. He relies on Kuiil to save him from the blurrgs on Arvala-7 and to eventually ride them. And he couldn't have gotten to Grogu without IG-11! It shows how well he can work with others spontaneously, assessing how their skill sets match his own.
Also, Din is SO much sassier than I remembered. So many great one liners to Kuiil and IG-11. I love Greef roasting him with the "Save the theatrics," line too! You just know he's caused a scene in the cantina on Nevarro many times before. He's a menace.
In conclusion: Din in Chapter 1 is just a snarky buckethead who gets tossed around like a salad and I love him for that.

the way his words are so carefully curated, not only for the sake of precision, but so it fits a rhythm that is breathable for a slow speaker.
to say exactly what he means in a short sentence, with recurring pauses and a clear pronounciation. to prefer periods(.) over commas(,).
not to be needlessly verbose – much the opposite; because this vocabulary serves the purpose of clarity, organization and to hold the attention of the listener.

Blah blah blah, Franmaya, Franziska von Karma is a good person who cares about people and Justice and stuff, I am aware.
But the real reason she didn’t fight Godot tooth and nail (she’d win, she has a weapon) to continue prosecuting in Bridge to the Turnabout would be the puzzle locks. Franziska von Karma cannot resist a puzzle and that is a fact.

“he was permanently condemned to hell.” if you hear screaming and crying don’t worry it’s just losing my GODDAMN FUCKING MIND. OH MY GOD. KAEYA WITH RELIGIOUS TRAUMA HITS DIFFERENT. IT HITS SO SO DIFFERENT.
okay so with the blue blood thing we can just be like you aren’t fully divine yet so the blood doesn’t turn blue until. idk you die and ascend or whatever. that’s the excuse i use in my brain!
i interrupted myself. anyways. imagine if kaeya was the one to kill you. when he recounts your death, he has allll the grisly details of how you were pinned to the ground by a sword in your throat, almost the same way you’d pin a butterfly to a board. he smiles as he recalls the way your blood spilled onto the ground and the light faded from your eyes. for a moment, he even scoffs at the tears on your cheeks, remnants of the way you’d cried and begged.
and then he gets the news, and it turns out that he truly cannot do anything right. he tries to be honest and loses his family. he tries to redeem his home and dooms himself. he doesn’t bother praying for forgiveness - no matter how kind and understanding everybody said you were, there’s no way you’d forgive a sinner with your blood on his hands.
me when kaeya. when he. him. he’d be so guilty and fucked up post-imposter and i think it adds to his appeal heart emoji - teddy anon
i did NOT mean for it to be religious trauma but. you have a point.
if we follow my headcanon about the blue blood—that it’s swirly like a galaxy, representative of your power—then it makes sense it manifests alongside your power, and if you blur some lines and squint we can work with that.
anyway i do think kaeya should be the one to kill (that sounds bad) and you. your words man you are so good at this-
he probably wouldn’t pray. and i don’t think, other than the first night getting blackout drunk, that he’d drink, as a form of self-punishment. no, he needs to be awake and sober to truly live through his crimes, for he would only condemn himself more with liquor.
kaeya that stops worshipping at altars or attending service, simply because he doesn’t believe that somebody like him should be in such a holy place. he never takes shifts at the cathedral, and he always takes point on the bloodiest missions. not out of enthusiasm—the sight of blood, even red, now makes him a bit sick—but out of a form of sacrifice. why put blood on innocent hands when he, somebody already sunk to the lowest of hells, can take it?
