-----------------------------------------------

didn't watch anything Star wars except the first movie so canon is my bitch!! And if any characters are ooc…shhh…it's okay

Reminder that in this little Head canon/AU din hasn't shown his face to anyone but grogu, now go forth!!

-----------------------------------------------

Yautja din who feels embarrassed about underestimating his prey (mudhorn) knowing his death would be dishonorable and foolish, closing his eyes awaiting for the impact

Yautja din who's in pure disbelief seeing the kid lift the mudhorn in the air, he takes immediate action as the little one passes out from exhaustion. Killing the creature in a graceful strike

Yautja din feeling pride and awe at such strength from such a young warrior. Even though this complicates everything, he can't help the pride filled chuffs as he bundled the little one up in his arms again.

Yautja din clicking his mandibles happily with pride as grogu catches a frog swallowing it whole, before remembering It's actually not normal to let your kid hunt live creatures “hey! kid! No, spit that out!” He reluctantly demands chasing after grogu

Yautja din trying to hold his excitement back at the mention of hunting down imps or other strong bounties, using all of his self-control to not rip out their useless spines out and decorate his ship with their skills. He manages but only just…

Yautja din feeling like he can finally relax with his friends (boba, fennec) and have a drink, the straw is tricky but he's getting the hang of it

Yautja din who laughs at his friends outlandish stories, a harsh barking sound rumbling through both of their bones the click-clacking of his Mandibles chattering throughout the echoey palace

Yautja din going Statue still with out eerily he stops moving at the drop of a hat, his pulse shooting through the roof with fear as he eyes his friends doubt racing through his mind at how he can explain what that was, but before he can

Boba and fennec share a quick glance before roaring with laughter, wheezing and sputtering at din (they've been speculating ab din’s heritage) “what was that!” and “how even??” before more laughter followed

Yautja din who doesn't know how to feel about being teased relentlessly for his oddness, they don't ask questions outright and for that he's thankful even more thankful they're not scared of his…quirks.

'It's different ' he decides, they still trust him and he doesn't feel the malicious air like when he was younger, it feels like friendly ribbing and he knows they don't expect him to actually answer their equally outlandish questions

Yautja din who's instincts make his stalk his friends and family like prey (affectionate) and keeps accidentally scaring the shit out of them bc he's so quiet, silently hiding behind counters and peeking through hallway corners just lurking(checking in on them) and no matter how many times he promises not to do it each time they look he's just there hidden in the shadows only slightly given away by the shiny beskar, unfortunately for everyone involved din is only getting better at not being spotted…

Yautja din who knows that people think he doesn't like to be touched but it's more like they wouldn't want to touch him if they knew how monstrous he was

Yautja din who (happy) grumbles and growls when he spars with boba who concerned he's pissing din off but doesn't say anything, eventually boba realizes that din only does that when they're sparring and feel just a bit warmer every time he hears it

Yautja din purring and chuffing when he get wrangled by the children in Mos Pelgo when he visits the Marshall, being bullied into their games and being a personal jungle gym grumbling and complaining but doesn't leave

Yautja din who feels like dying of embarrassment as cobb finds him with four children climbing on him and one on his shoulders telling him a story, the Marshall swaggering over to save him (it's none of his business and he wasn't going to mention it to the Mandalorian, but he thinks it's absolutely adorable)

Yautja din who doesn't scurry away when the kids call him “Mr. Tooka” while cobb stifles a laugh behind his hand

“Not a word” din tries to keep the growl out of his voice

Vanth just laughs shaking his head

“Not a one, partner, not a one”

Yautja din who in one particular mission hunting imps just can't help himself, they are demagolka (the true real-life monsters)and they deserve only a death fitting

Yautja din clipping his newest trophy on his belt feeling equal parts guilty and vindicated, the skull jingles against the ammo containers somehow smaller than he'd thought but fits pleasantly, relief spread through his chest at having a reminder of what he's fighting for, who he's fighting for

And if he doesn't notice how people now give him an even wider berth than before, sharing disbelieving glances or fearful murmuring…well he's kinda busy at the moment.

The brain worms are strong with this one, I am trying (key word:try) to make some good art to go with these but it's hard so until then, just bite sized pieces

Please scream at me if u agree with this post, I crave engagement like a zoo animal

Bobba? Big Daddy energy

Luke? Let's give the kid the two parents he deserves

*gun shot noises*

Hello I am about to scream into the void LISTEN TO ME!!!! I didn't watch the Mandalorian so Star wars cannon IS my bitch and I can do whatever I want! Anyway--

We desperately *need* more non-human din! The more monstrous the better, I love human din too but we need this, I need this

In this little head canon/AU din doesn't take off the helmet in front of other but grogu yet bc I said so

Yautja din djarin who was adopted after his home was destroyed, always felt 'other' because of his species and terrifying appearance but his skills got him a position to take care of his covert off-world

Yautja din who's instincts keep coming out no matter how hard to tries to hold back, feeling the ultimate thrill from bounty hunting taking the *most* non-lethal trophies from his prey— bounties ...

Yautja din who keeps his more bloody trophies hidden in a secret compartment on his ship, teeth, finger bones, and is devastated when it's all lost from the obliteration of his ship

Yautja din who's beskar rattles with inaudible rumbling growls when he's irritated or the throaty purrs when grogu is tucked in his arms, knowing he's safe and anyone would lose a limb trying to get through him first

Yautja din's mandible's clicking and chattering with laughter before going silent with fear at his own inhuman qualities, stiffening his posture and walking away without a word

Yautja din near delirious with fear as he shows grogu who he is for the first time, preparing for his child to scream with fear at the sight of his monstrous buir and reject him altogether

Yautja din shaking in disbelief as his son squeals with joy, patting and stroking his father's thick leathery skin. Gently tugging on his lower mandible cooing as the little one stares in wonder as if trying to commit him to his memory

Yautja din who struggles with certain vowels and consonants in basic giving him a thick accent, defaulting to his other plethora of languages he knows

Yautja din's nails consistently blunted to fit his gloves and his quill-like hair always cut uncomfortably short to fit under his helm, thankful for the ambiguous shape of it

Please let me know if this too is ruining your life and for pt2, bc there will be MOAR

Yautja din pt3!!!

Just some(fun)dinisims for now

I was thinking about posting some mondo/yautja world building stuff because I'm pushing an agenda about them and because I have headcanons that are trying to break free

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

• Yautja din tired from a long day after his bounty winding down with his friends when he feels a massive yawn coming on, he thinks nothing of it as a chittering whine build in the back of his throat sounding like a rusty door hinge struggling to open

• His mandibles spasm with a shiver, jerking uncontrollably making an concerning clinking of *tingtingtingting* sounding from his tusks vibrating against the beskar before settling back to their relaxed state

• Internally he wished he could rub his eyes but settles for squeezing them shut, blinking away the water bleary film he settles on a

“I'll turn in for the night, I gotta lay the kid down…goodnight” he says making a hasty retreat to the quarters that boba lent him distantly hearing the returned ‘goodnight’s

• The lounge is silent in his absence with the three humans eyeing each other for a long minute, as if to reassure themselves of hearing that spine-chilling sound

“He didn't even notice” Fennec muttered

“I don't think he did but he most likely will tomorrow” boba replied, that echoey sound in his head still replaying “perhaps he's finally coming around, if he doesn't avoid us tomorrow that is”

• Cobb downs the rest of his glass “Welp!” before heaving himself up with a cheerful “I'm going to have pleasant dreams tonight, y'all have fun dealing with that in the morning”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

• Yautja din who is *much* heavier than he seems, you cannot move that man if he doesn't want to move. He's a brick fucking wall and no one notices because he moves with no resistance from his family

• Always leaning into Boba, letting himself be pulled around by the town’s children, shifting when Vanth nudges or knocks into his shoulder/hip

• Turning with the friendly cuff to his buy'ce, being flattened by Fennec on the sparring mat ect…

• Now just imagine some idiot trying to shoulder-check din (who's playing security) because they're pissed off or something and- they just fucking *bounce* off of din's armour, falling to the floor whilst din's like “must've been the wind”

• Din just standing like a pillar in the walkway and people keep running into him, he doesn't even notice tbh…

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

• Din losing a fang (they grow back I decided) and gives it to Grogu, who when he goes back to school and he's showing off his new trinkets and telling all his friends stories about home

“that one looks new! Did your father make you another bead, grogu?” Luke gestures to the new addition to his necklace

• He Wonders if din found another creature to add on to the plethora of adorable trinkets he give to his son

• ‘It's buir’s! he said he lost it in a fight’ grogu excitedly jangles the long tusk

• Luke goes slightly pale as he reevaluates the trinket upon closer inspection

• A three inch long dagger of a tooth

• suddenly his mind is racing through all configurations of what kind of species has such long teeth for a humanoid but each time he comes up blank

His heartbeat thumps just a little harder than normal “That's…lovely Grogu!”

• He studiously ignores the bantha in the room and continues to listen to his students show and tell

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

• Din has a long tongue for a yautja that helps him speak and also eat, it's prehensile

I headcanon the yautja love spice because they're intense people who love intense things, thus din who likes to eat only the hottest of meals

• Or his secret guilty pleasure…spicey sweets, an accident on Grogu’s part never to be repeated and curiosity on din's

• Ever since then he tries to discreetly procure himself just a bag full whenever he's at the market with the kid, he knows it's not a true secret or something to be ashamed of but- old habits and all that

• So he's not exactly expecting anything when he reaches into on of his pouches, mouth already watering at the promised heat

• A garbled slithering noise muffled by his helmet as his tongue peaks from under his buy’ce, quickly darting for it's target and wrapping around the lollipop

• Din's eyes are already glassy from the powerful smell but doesn't stop the little growls and grumbles of delight as the sweet burn spreads with every swipe of his tongue,

• it's only then he hears a pointed cough

• He whirls to the noise already gripping his blaster but it's– Boba. Boba with a raised brow looking something unimpressed yet amused

“I didn't know you had a sweet tooth, vod’ika”

“Bo’a-!” Din nearly bites his tongue with how fast he pulls it with a wet ‘slurp’ choking on his saliva and practically drooling

• the burn in his throat now worse with embarrassed horror trying to control his own coughing fit

• The(evil)man throws his head back cackling, patting din on the back consolingly

Why is it always him??
