Din’s Covert Could Conceivably Be The Direct Legacy Of The True Mandalorians And I Can Make It Make

i work at a grocery store and i've written a substantial amount of fic on scraps of receipt paper in between customers.

People who write fic on mobile genuinely frighten me

Upcoming comic alert!!

“Ask him about the job on Alzoc III.”

“I did what I had to.”

“Oh, but you liked it. You see, I know what you really are.”

A mando prequel story!!!

Aiming to start posting it by the end of February or in March!

AYYYY

i feel like there’s a greater-than-zero chance that mythosaurs are not actually extinct

so i noticed something when rewatching mando s2e3 - when din's (crash)landing at the start of the episode, the razor crest's screen reads 'landing gear offline' (www(.)cap-that(.)com/starwars/the-mandalorian/203/1080/images/mandalorian2x03_0217(.)jpg), then next shot it says this - www(.)cap-that(.)com/starwars/the-mandalorian/203/2160/images/mandalorian2x03_0291(.)jpg - i could be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that says 'of course (i?) still love you' ?? is the crest trying to tell din something??

first of all, you are the sharpest-eyed, biggest-brained person on this website. has no one ever noticed this??? I'm truly mindblown! second of all, you're 100000% correct.

here are some zoomed in screencaps and gifs I made which show the 3 messages the razor crest's screen displayed in s02e03:

first, "stabilizer error":

second, "landing gear offline":

THIRD!!!! "OF COURSE I STILL LOVE YOU"!!!!!! :

(edit: note that the “I” on the Crest’s screen is backwards to denote a capitalized letter. I didn’t capitalize it in my subtitles which is why it looks like a 1)

then right back to "landing gear offline":

now, while the headcanon of a semi-sentient razor crest is very interesting... (although, wouldn't that be so sad considering the tragedy? I pretend I don't see it) (also, that would remind me of L3-37 in solo being uploaded into the falcon)

the easter egg is more likely related to the SpaceX spaceport drone ship called "of course I still love you":

it's docked in long beach, ca and floats on the ocean surface as a large landing platform, similar to the dock on Trask where Din was trying to land the Crest. I think it's probably just a fun nod from a couple of fellow space nerds haha.

but isn't it nice to think that some of the last words the Crest — Din's only sanctuary for years — said to Din were "of course I still love you"? 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

so show me where my armor ends, show me where my skin begins.

why does every sleeping at last song fit din so perfectly???

so slowly i'm losing who i've sworn to be. a promise in pencil that years have made so hard to read. i've spent my life building walls brick by brick and bruise by bruise... a birdcage religion that whispered me to sleep.

- birdcage religion

all of a sudden, you changed my mind. pulled back the curtains a little at a time.

through the static, through the ashes we were brave. through the perils of endless narrow escapes, we’re still here. we’re still here.

- we’re still here

like. does anyone else see it? i only discovered sleeping at last today and my “din djarin vibes” playlist has already doubled in size.

though your heart is far too young to realize the unimaginable light you hold inside,

i’ll give you everything i have. i’ll teach you everything i know. i promise i’ll do better. i will always hold you close, but i will learn to let you go.

- light

YES that is EXACTLY how din feels about grogu.

now i have to write fics to go along with all these...

ranking my favorite mandalorian ships:

5. din x omera

4. din x no one

3. queerplatonic din x omera

2. frog lady x frog man

1. the razor crest

in the past hour of working on my fic, i have:

1. deleted (1) sentence

2.

3.

4. that's it that's all i've accomplished

Best of (worst in) me

y’all ever love a character so much it physically hurts

one thing i want from season 3 is an acknowledgement of what losing the razor crest means for din. that ship is literally his only safe space. it’s the one constant in his unpredictable life, and the one place where he isn’t perpetually under attack. the difference in his body language between when he’s planetside and when he’s flying is huge - it’s the most relaxed we ever see him. in addition, without the razor crest din will be forced to be dependent on other people. he seems to be living paycheck-to-paycheck and i don’t think he can afford a new ship. he has much, much less control over his own life without one, and it’s not like he ever had much control to start out with. i cannot emphasize this enough: losing the razor crest is absolutely devastating for din. i don’t want it to be too overshadowed by grogu.
