Mandalorian Armor, A Simple Guide

Felt a little down lately so I tried to lighten up my mood a bit with some Baby ‘Soka doodles 🥺🧡

Also I can’t tell if my tooka looks cute or cursed, lmao

Someone's a tired dad...

Happy father's day! This was directly inspired by a bobadin cafe au post/prompt I read at some point, down to the detail of boba leaning over the counter to look at grogu... but like an idiot I forgot to save the link 😭

tl;dr anakin comes to like din and proceeds to embarrass his son shortly after

My dream au is where the Jedi are slightly up and to the left of normal. Beyond what they already are. Maybe they are a bit genre aware/meta. Just Jedi being the crazy space wizards that normal people are like ‘be polite but don’t invite them for dinner’.

Oh man, I love fics in which people who have supernatural/magical abilities are just… unnerving to ordinary people… either because their behavior really is a couple steps to the left of what’s considered “normal” or because they have decidedly nonhuman physical attributes. (I’m not really writing MCU fic anymore, but Asgardians! You gotta write Asgardians as a little freaky, because they’re magic and also aliens and also semi-immortal, so they’ve gotta be weird.) 

I’m not really writing Star Wars atm (at least SW with lots of particularly Force-attuned Jedi), but things that would be unnerving off the top of my head (do I sound like I care “how the Force works”?): 

Jedi almost always react to something several seconds before anyone else. (In TCW, I imagine the clones roll with this immediately.) 

To the point where some particularly precognitive Jedi answer particularly strong thoughts before they’re said aloud. 

No, apologizing doesn’t really help, actually. 

Jedi making casual comments displaying a high degree of psychometric ability (the psychic ability to read an object’s history through touch) or postcognition (ability to divine the past). 

No, deep-cleaning your house won’t help. They know where that’s been. They know where everything’s been. 

Jedi making casual conversation with non-sapient creatures. 

Jedi being better at predicting the weather than any technology. 

This is more annoying than anything else if they have this ability and keep not checking the weather anyway, or straight-up keep failing to inform you that it’s going to rain later. 

Jedi using technology from across the room. 

They can and they will thoughtlessly flip a switch from across the room, without dropping the conversation. No, their technology isn’t all automatic. It’s them casually using the Force. 

Jedi displaying more physical awareness of your body and your surroundings than you yourself. 

“Sorry, you were going to bump your head.”  

Jedi who are powerful empaths always know your real mood. 

“Sorry, you were projecting. Is everything okay?”  

Jedi casually knowing what’s going on in the next room or making a comment that makes you realize they can eavesdrop on every conversation in a fifty meter radius. 

They know it’s rude. It’s mostly unintentional. 

Jedi floating, like, at all. 

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S AN ACCIDENT. 

HOW DO YOU FLOAT BY ACCIDENT???

It’s really no wonder that the Jedi Council stresses control, because an open connection to the Force could be brutal on a person’s mental, emotional, and physical stability. (I’m still a little ticked we didn’t get overloaded, slam-dunked into the Force, out-of-control Rey in TLJ.) Jedi culture in the Temple must have been pretty interesting, from the standpoint of a building full of people with superpowers. I know the clones in TCW aren’t, like, paid, but that just means they’re definitely not paid enough to deal with this Jedi bullshit. 

Padmé wasn’t there to wipe the tears away, or kiss the bruises better… so Ahsoka made do the best she could.

Luke didn’t have a mummy, but he had an Ahsoka —and she could make the world go round.

Since apparently my messy grogu sketches are more popular than my polished pieces, here are some messy sketches of him with his dad.

tips for writing Star Wars fanfic/Star Wars roleplay things

it’s not concrete; it’s duracrete

viewports are the windows on ships

not a plane; ship or speeder

it’s not steel; it’s durasteel

books are rare; holorecords or datapads

it’s not a glass pane it’s transparisteel

caf is the equivalent of coffee

it’s not paper it’s a flimsi

medcenter is a hospital

Star Wars can be very similar to things we’re already used to, but getting familiar with some of these terms can make your writing really fit in with the universe

I think Boba should get to hold a really big dog :)

I like to think din has no idea who the fuck luke skywalker is but leia organa??? the fucking hutt slayer??? like fuck dude what bounty hunter doesn’t know about her
