Theres gotta be a reason the only two ppl who call Din "Din" in regular interactions with him are Fennec and Bo-Katan. I havent figured out the reason yet but there has to be one bc both his close friends (who know his name) and strangers only call him "Mando"
Im so down for QPR dinbo but what are the chances that would happen without the audience assuming its romantic?
Me last year: haha imagine din and bo having to get married since he doesnt want the throne and she has lost her support for it
Me now (s3e4): that was a fun scenario to think about and it still is but now that they get along im worried its actually gonna happen and theyll throw a romance plot in which i do NOT want bc i enjoy this show having no romance
Caught up on mando and now i have to explain bo's entire backstory to my mom so i made a super basic chart 😅
Me: okay its time to move on. Ive been bouncing back between tbobf and the mandalorian fandoms for 3 weeks now its time for some variety

This post: *pops up in my activity*
Me, remembering last episode (s3ep2):
👀
My brain wont stop thinking about royalty aus so lets play around with star wars for a bit
So like either full royalty au or like instead of the empire the republic collapsed and Naboo turned into a lifetime-rule monarchy where they elected Padme to be their first lifelong queen
So theres Queen Amidala, her consort the disgraced jedi knight and beloved war hero Anakin Skywalker, and their twin children Luke Naberrie and Leia Naberrie
Its both hilarious and sad how Din never introduces himself
Hilarious because no one actually knows his name
Sad because most people dont even bother asking him his name
since Din had to make his own clan does that mean he was never given a buir???
Is there anything more mandalorian then a gesture of affection having started off as fighting move (keldabe kiss/headbutt)
So does Din not paint his (new) armor because he doesnt want to? Or does he keep it clean because gray is the color of mourning and he's grieving the fallen members of his covert?
Watching tbobf events go down from a outsider's perspective is like the new but unclaimed Mandalorian High King has allied himself with recently deceased famous bounty hunter Boba Fett and Fennec Shand and helped them overthrow and cement Fett's rule over Mos Espa and practically all of Tatooine as a unofficial ruler, which must be the Mand'alor's first move in placing allies in positions to support him when he makes a grab for the metaphorical throne. But we have their personal perspectives which is sad single dad who mustve never paid attention in history class because he never has any clue whats going on just dropped his child off at boarding school and also his house blew up and his family disowned him on top of accidentally acquiring a half-haunted sword that people are willing to kill him for which is why hes sad so to lay low he moved in with his new but quickly becoming close friends who also have no idea what they're doing and are faking it till they make it but they happen to be starting a actual war just to get revenge on some drug dealers
Me originally: noooo why did they give him the darksaber this plot is gonna be him running around trying to get rid of it and boring in general just let him fly around space with his child
Me who now has a ton of questions on mando culture: actually if din does become mand'alor (which i no longer think is a bad idea) we would actually get to see some mandalorians consistently in this show as well as see the different mando cultures within the greater population from ideals to armor styles and-
Here have this dinfeld idea i cant get out of my head despite me not having seen s2 in over a year
I dont think we'll get Ezra in The Mandalorian but all the wildest theories for this show have him 😂. Ezra is the "rightful" ruler of Mandalore because Maul's apprentice is basically Maul's next-of-kin, Grogu left Luke because he's destined to be Ezra's padawan, only Ezra would call Grogu "Baby Yoda", etc

I have so many questions on mando marriage but right now im only gonna ask this: mandos can marry non-mandos and said non-mandos can remain non-mandos*, but do they receive anything that marks them of belonging to their clan/as a mando spouse?
*im pretty sure. I know part of the code is you have to raise your children to be mandos but i dont remember anything about your spouse converting
Im a personal fan of the non-mando spouses (or honorary non-mando members) receiving necklaces with beskar pendants of the clan animal/mascot, but i dont know if thats considered a valid use of rare beskar. Read one fic where they got the clan signet put on their already existing non-beskar armor and that was a pretty cool idea. But as far as i know theres no actual canon answer to this (if you know leave a reply!)
Three questions
1. If the word for parent is "buir" how do children differentiate between their parents? Like are both parents called "buir" and they just know which one their child is calling for?
2. I know Mando'a doesnt have gender pronouns, but it does have words to specify gender when its needed ("jagyc" = male, "dalyc" = female). But how do you use this properly? The only example i could find was "ke barjurir gar'ade, jagyc'ade kot'la a dalyc'ade kotla'shya" and here they just put the adj in front of and a part of the original word (jagyc'ade = sons, dalyc'ade = daughters), so would it always work that way? Like if you wanted to specify sisters would "vode" become "dalyc'vode"?
3. Does "riduur" just mean marriage partner? Or does it mean any version of "partner"? Also ori'vod can mean special friend, so does that mean "best friend" or like "girlfriend/boyfriend" or something else?
