Jizzie but as Odysseus and Penelope

I've finished listening to Epic the musical and man....

The ending got me very very emotional

LU AU where Dark Link gathers all the other Dark and Shadow Links but Ravio gets caught up in the mix. He pretends to be another evil doppelganger to survive, but Shadow realizes he's a faker by day1. Shadow n Ravio team up to screw Dink over so that they can find their heroes. Doodle is from November, completely forgot to post it.

fic idea I'll probably?? write someday

I know the general consensus when it comes to mandalorians/jedi ships are that the mandos would be the pushy borderline partners that kindap their jedi darlings. But I like the idea of a fic where the jedis kidnap the mandos. Like, Obi-Wan is out on a mission and he ends up getting separated from Anakin. Cue panicking but he still works the mission hoping to save his padawan.

Meanwhile Jango is working a job and comes across free ad! He's pretty excited about it until he realizes that this ad he's found is in face a jedi!! He promptly tracks down the wayward padawan's master and returns Anakin, all the while, taking down enough bad guys to make Obi-Wan's mission a rousing success. Obviously very happy, Obi-Wan invites Jango back to the temple so that the other Jedi can show their appreciation. He's invited to spar with a few of the older masters. And Jocasta is especially happy to gain some insight into Mandalorian culture. The room Jango is staying in stops being a guest room and instead becomes Mister Fett's quarters.

It gets to the point that Jaster has to send a unit of mandalorians to go and retrieve his son. But much to their confusion, they were greeted with open arms by the Jedi. Each guest finds something to do. And the Jedi are all too excited to provide hot tea and home baked pastries for their cool new warrior friends. Especially when they find out that every mando warrior comes pre-equipped with light saber sparring skills. When Jaster has finally had enough he heads on over ready to make a big fuss. Only to be greeted with open arms. The Jedi certainly aren't forcing anyone but you try saying no to Master Windu's handmade sweet breads. Jaster has to return to Mandalore, of course. Reluctantly the rest of the Mando agree to go. And for a while, that's the way that it is. Until Obi-Wan shows up on Mandalore claiming to be there on a research mission. More Jedi show up. They don't leave. There are padawans toddling around keldabe. Yoda and Mace have begun an intense rivalry with Mando elders over who can make the best tea. Half-way through planning a new Jedi temple Jaster realizes that he's been kidnapped by a culture filled with crazy reckless anti-christs.

a lot of people talk about @fialleril‘s Tatooine Slave Culture

and I’ve read some really good stories and poems and songs.

But I feel like we’re all missing a large part of any culture, that which is the foundation for all the stories and rituals and prayers of any group of people.

We’re missing the children.

what are nursery rhymes but stories told by children? what are games but rituals performed by children?

-

Red Bird

Red bird, red bird, Come and play Depur’s at market for the rest of the day Take a friend to hide while we all pray Then red bird, red bird, fly away

-

Its a combination of tag, hide and seek, and duck duck goose

Everyone stands in a circle (holding hands or hand clapping is optional)

One child is “depur at market” who walks inside the circle and is only allowed to look at the person in front of them, as if examining the slaves being sold

Another child is Ekkreth, the red bird, and their job is to sneak around and “steal” a child out of the circle and hide them without “Depur” noticing

If “Depur” sees “Ekkreth”, then Depur must chase Ekkreth around the outside of the circle, attempting to tag Ekkreth. If Ekkreth makes it into an empty space from one of the “escaped slaves” then they’re safe, and Depur goes back to walking the circle. 

If Depur tags Ekkreth before Ekkreth can make it back into the circle, Ekkreth must go into the middle of the circle where they are now “caged”

Once Ekkreth is caged, Depur goes around and finds as many escaped slaves as they can. Meanwhile, any escaped slaves can sneak up and “free” Ekkreth by tapping them on the head. 

If Depur can find all the escaped slaves before Ekkreth can be freed, they win and are now Ekkreth.

If Ekkreth can free all the slaves without being caught, they win.

If Ekkreth is caught, but Depur cannot find the last slave, that slave wins, and they become Ekkreth.

This is my favorite panel in the manga

welcome to the crab, shadow.

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.
