Or the clan of two. I wasn't ready for that.

I was a little disappointed that the Space Rhino is still his signet. I was hoping Baby Yoda would be it!

How does this feel like irony?

Mainly it’s that the horse, a mode of transportation made obsolete by the automobile, is now in charge of policing automobiles when they are at rest.

As someone who understands a decent amount of Star Wars lore, what’s a foundling...?

In the canon of the show, the concept of Foundling is introduced as an orphaned or helpless child who is taken in by the Mandalorian culture, with the idea (though, importantly, not the expectation) that when they come of age they may become a Mandalorian themselves. It’s a found family trope -- it’s made clear in the last episode that whether or not the child chooses to become a Mandalorian, they are given a loving and caring home until they are an adult. It’s important within the show because the titular Mandalorian himself was a foundling, but also because looking after abandoned children is evidently of paramount importance to the culture. So it’s not just that Mando picked up this kid and felt responsible for them, it’s that when Baby Yoda is given the title of “Foundling” they become important and precious to all Mandalorians and Mando is required by law and culture to act as a full parent. It’s just a really nice “full circle” moment that Mando was a Foundling and now he is responsible for the care of one.

I was so excited when that happened but then my brain immediately tried to put a Mando helmet on his head and the EARS sam. How is this going to work??? How will they survive it???

Well, the armorer made it clear that it’s not Mando’s job to make Baby Yoda into a Mandalorian by creed, but to parent them until they come of age or he finds their birth parents. Like it seems to me the show is setting up not to have Mando train them, but to have Mando go on a sacred quest to find where they’re actually supposed to be. That said, I love the idea of Baby Yoda becoming a Mandalorian and possibly having some kind of cool modified helmet to fit their ears, though it also seems like they’re pretty flexible and they could probably tuck them down. :D

But I really actually want like, a normal Mandalorian helmet with two huge stylized horns on either side for the ears and when asked about it MandoYoda is just like “Off with your questions you can fuck!”

I think the Mandalorian singlehandly saved the reputation of SW as one of the greatest scifi universes ever (B5 is up there tho)

It really is a solid piece of sci-fi and a credit to its canon. I liked The Force Awakens and I loved The Last Jedi, but Mandalorian was enjoyable on an entirely new level for me as someone who doesn’t consider themselves “in” the Star Wars fandom.

Just out of curiosity, what was the fanfiction?

It’s called Stuck On The Puzzle. Someone recommended it on my dash and I took a look because it seemed interesting and totally got pulled in. It’s pretty heavy on BDSM (like, seriously, read the tags before proceeding) which is not usually my jam, but I really enjoyed the emotional/spiritual journey that Cullen goes on, and I do like me some hurt/comfort. 

Also I know of at least two people who have actually been pulled into Dragon Age fandom by the fic, so it’s doin’ right by its canon :D

What about mustard ice cream?

I haven’t found that either! Though I’d try that, simply because I don’t know whether or not I’d like it. I’ve heard that in the ice cream sandwich hot dog thing it’s pretty awful.

Is it like the alcoholic version of the Beverly? Because that tastes like death unless you Like grapefruit, but makes for an awesome prank on the uninitiated at the Coca Cola museum.

No, not in my experience, but then, supertaster. I find Beverly tastes a bit kale-like to me, super heavy on mineral flavor, and Malort is more floral. But I also like Beverly, so.....

The real question is why they sell Malort in central illinois. We are 3 HOURS from chicago WHO IS DRINKING THIS.

N - Name three things you wish you saw more of in your main fandom (or a fandom of choice).

Oooh! Good question! 

1) I wish we all did an Ouat rewatch as a fandom! Something like @ouat-rewatch​ with people writing their thoughts about each episode, discussions, art, fanfiction and gifs. That was tonnes of fun! I’d be willing to arrange it if enough people were interested!

2) I'd love it if there was more Alice Jones content! Whether that be Knighrook content, Curious Archer content or solo Alice content. I can’t get enough of this character but I’m so greatful for all the content there is and all the wonderful creators! There’s truly amazing creations in this fandom!

3) I’d love to see more season 1 content, especially for Snowing. I love that season so much! And any time I see anything from it, I get all giddy!

I love Curious Archer! They're definitely one of my top ships from OUAT! They're adorable!

I love the meeting they had. Classic way to meet your True Love for OUAT (and lbr here, we all know they're True Love even without a kiss to prove it). And they formed a connection so quickly. It was adorable. I loved that Alice was the one to remind Robin what being Robin Hood means and is about and Robin was there for her when she struggled with being Alice who spent seventeen years of her life trapped in a tower. It was a great way for them to help each other to come to terms with who they were and show how quickly they came to understand and support each other.

I loved the switch they had in Hyperion Heights with Margot being the one who's travelled around the world while Tilly was stuck in Hyperion Heights. They still had their main conflicts in tact, though, with Margot trying to run away from her problems and looking for herself in the wrong places, and Tilly being trapped and alone. But they still found each other and I loved it.

I really liked that they had a first date and it was shown. It was refreshing and kind of a breather amongst everything else that was happening. It brought on a sense of normalcy while also not missing the opportunity to show that there are struggles not exactly related to the Curse that they still have to go through, and they did. The way Margot handled the situation with Tilly's bad days is one of my fave things and I live it so much.

I also love all the little things about them. Like, Robin showing Alice her phone and telling her about the bug, Tilly reading Robin Hood and Margot reading Alice in Wonderland, the bracelets, the letters they exchanged, the beignet shaped like a heart, Targo, Nobin and Tower Girl and so on. They had all of these little moments that really built the relationship and felt unique compared to all the other relationships on the show. Their relationship was somehow less frenzied and they were allowed to have more calm moments. Which doesn't mean that they didn't have enough to deal with on their plates but I liked that there was no drama between the two of them, or at least not as much as there was with the other couples. They were together from the very start and that helped them deal with their personal issues and be stronger and I loved that. It allowed for us to see how they fit together which I really appreciate considering we didn't get that much of them.

Thanks for the tag @abetternameneeded :D!

This is from my Knightrook / Curious Archer Harry Potter AU. Will it ever get finished? Goodness knows.
