I’M GONNA EAT GLASS

The first person to know about Cody and Obi-Wan is Hondo because he can't find Obi-Wan's space tinder profile anymore.

Me at the moment. Gosh the series finale was amazing and I'm still emotional over it

I just. Love Mando’a so fucking much. It’s so great.

They have three different words to describe ways to be stabbed. Bikadinir (to stab with a broad blade; “run through”), chekar (to stab with a small blade, “shiv”), and kalikir (to stab with a narrow blade, “skewer”).

They have one pronoun. Kaysh. That’s it. Buir is just parent, there’s no mom/dad. No son/daughter, just ad, ad’ika, ikaad. Child. Vod can mean sibling, friend, comrade. All at once. Amazing.

They have dozens of ways to insult someone. Di’kut, someone who forgets to put their pants on. Utreekov, emptyhead. Najaat, no honor. Dini, lunatic. Kaysh mirsh solus, “their brain cell is lonely.” Skanah, “much hated person/thing.” Hut’uun, coward. Ge’hut’uun, not even notable enough to be called a coward (how insulting is that?). Demagolka, originating from Demagol, the name of a scientist who was so fucking shitty that his name became the worst insult a Mandalorian could call you. And that insult is child abuser, monster, war criminal, someone with no honor.

And then there’s “shab”, which we don’t have an official definition for, but the fandom collectively agrees it means “fuck.” Because we have shabiir (to screw up), shab’la (screwed up), shab’rudur (to screw with), and shabuir (jerk but much stronger, AKA asshole/motherfucker).

And Mando’ade don’t say “I love you.” They say “Ni kar’tayli gar darasuum.” I hold you in my heart for eternity. Like. Are you serious. That’s so much better than “I love you.” If someone said that to me I would die on the spot.

Mirshmure’cya means “brain kiss.” Slang for headbutt, which is a thing Mando’ade do a lot, apparently. And it’s a sign of affection, too. They show affection by gently bonking their helmets together. How adorable is that???

Oh, and shereshoy. A lust for life “and much more.” Represented by orange on their armor. “The enjoyment of each day and the determination to seek and grab every possible experience, as well as surviving to see the next day - hanging onto life and relishing it.” And that “oy” at the end of it, derived from “Oya!”

“Oya”, which can mean so many things. A war cry before a fight or hunt. A celebration. An encouragement. “Let’s hunt!” “Hoorah!” “Cheers!” “That’s the spirit!”

This post got much longer than I meant it to lol. I’ll stop here. But you get the gist. Mando’a is a wonderful language and I am in love with it.

how???

dead for 6 slutty, slutty years

Trans Regulus who has always had a raspy voice, even as a child, that becomes more prominent when he starts T at Hogwarts.

His voice always takes people by surprise because he’s so painfully quiet. The reason why he barely speaks is a tightly held secret between the Black brothers until James earns his trust & he tells him how (even now) Walburga would try to punish his “boyish voice out of him.”

A few days later Regulus receives a frantic owl about his mother’s mysterious “sudden illness” that has taken her voice entirely; leaving her irreversibly mute.

His eyes snap to the Gryffindor table to find James Potter, looking down at his breakfast with an impossibly smug smile.

i hate that i will never not find this dialogue hilarious [ID: The scene of Andy giving codenames from Parks and Rec, with the characters from Star Wars The Mandalorian, instead. Fennec says "From this point on, we will be using codenames. I will be 'Eagle One.' Bo Katan is 'Been There Done That.'" Bo has her face in her hands, "Boba is 'Currently Doing That'" (Boba says Yeah! I am! as he and Fennec high five) "Cobb is 'It Happened in a Dream Once.' Koska is 'I'd Be Lying If I Said I Haven't Thought About It.' Mando is... 'Eagle Two.'" Din looks relieved through the helmet as he says "Oh thank the gods." /END ID]
