#mando ask

I’m watching The Mandalorian from the beginning with my Grandma because she wanted to watch it. And *sigh* this show was amazing at the beginning. Season 3 was fine, I don’t dislike it like a lot of people do, but Seasons 1 & 2 were just so special.

Also I miss the Razor Crest

OMG I was just drunk and watching episodes from season 2 last night, laughing to myself at how they really did Cobb a disservice letting him even stand next to Din in his armor, because he looks like such a bean pole lmao

I never watched Season 3! I didn't even get to watch Season 2 until late last year lol

It's just such a fucking WESTERN it makes me ache every time in the BEST way 😫

Oh my gosh!!!

Maybe plurality or neurodivergency or queerness, though, those are the communities I'm a part of at all

Hey I DEFINITELY get that?? That's admittedly why I'm so attached to being Rusyn, it's the one piece I barely have?? And I'm so sorry you have so many dar'aliit??

Perhaps you can use this for some fun research time!! If you know ancestry or have access to research it, check it out! If you don't, perhaps go with where your last name is from/most commonly from?

Don't worry, my whole family HATED n*zis (my patriarchal grandma despised being in the Youth. She tells me that a lot).

But! Since the Germanics share mythologies with the Norse, I'll be using some Viking basis for my Mando-sona. And maybe dabble in the Marvel Norse Mythology.

That is so SO COOL?? ALSO GOOD ON YOUR GRAMS??

I wanna participate in the mandosona challenge but I don’t know anything about my ancestors. All I know is that I’m a white Australian.

Sadly you're right in that I'm not he best to ask?? ;;-;;

Is there any chance you could look into your mom's maiden name?? Or perhaps the history of your last name? Even things like "Baker" had an origin somewhere, or at least a date, so you can trace those two?

Yes!! Absolutely!!? I'd say the only thing to keep away from would be any colonizer elements, like Conquistadores? For anyone else wondering, similar suggestion! Go with those from ancient Britain rather than the Imperial era, stuff like that?? And of course if I see a SINGLE Nazi I'mma punt it.
