BUT LET DIN HAVE SOMETHING TOO!!!

LET DIN HAVE SOMETHING FROM THE JEDI!!!

Din being gifted a kyber pendant engraved with the words, “Trust In The Force” that he wears under his cowl. Din integrating Jedi lightsaber forms when fighting with the Darksaber and taking down a battle droid through Shii-Cho. Din recognizing other Forms when sparring with Luke and learning exactly how to defend and counterattack — much to Luke’s elation.

Din thinking he’s physically unable to meditate sitting still until Luke teaches Din about moving meditations, and when he finally tries it, Din feels at peace for the first time in years.

Din keeping his helmet off for longer periods of time and letting himself experience the world outside of the static, holo-blue of his helmet’s HUD.

Din playfully parroting, “May the Force be with you” to Luke until he starts saying it with conviction whenever Luke’s about to do something dumb and stupid (again). Luke laughing and reminding Din that the Force is with both of them, always. Din clutching his kyber pendant and willing himself to trust, aggressively and desperately.

Din seeing memory moths for the first time on New Holstice and remembering the pile of helmets from the fallen members of his Tribe, waiting to be melted down and reforged. Din realizing just how much both of them have lost and the significance of everything Luke’s shared with Din about the Jedi.

Din wearing his kyber pendant over his cowl, shining against his chestplate for everyone on Mandalore to see, eyes slowly scanning across a sea of T-visors. Say something, I fucking dare you.

-Hiroto's hair isn't naturally red, or at least not this vivid. He dyed it to please his father because it made him look lore like the original Hiroto, and after Aliea disbanded he kept doing it out of habit.

-What I'm saying is that sometimes Endou and Midorikawa help him touch up his roots and end up with red stains EVERYWHERE.

-Tobitaka tries very hard to be menacing but he also loves his karaoke too much. He's been caught many times singing pop songs using his comb as a microphone while getting ready in the morning.

-Toramaru being so young makes everyone self conscious about their language. Tsunami in particular tends to swear a lot and Haruna gives him hell for it if he does it in front of the younger boys.

-Fudou also swears a lot, to the point Kudou had to reprimand him.

-Fuyuka is soooo self conscious about her appearance and it takes her a lot of courage to dress differently than she usually does. What I'm saying is that during that one episode where Rika tricks her into doing romantic stuff with Endou she is fighting for her LIFE but she really wants to help so she pushes past her insecurity anyway.

-Kidou needs absolute silence to be able to fall asleep. He told Gouenji once and then didn't notice how the rooms next to his got suddenly very quiet past 8PM (Gouenji did the stareTM to deter any noise)

-Kudou may be a strict man but he brutally underestimated how much he would have to police the corridors at night to enforce curfew because 1) half the team -see Endou, Kabeyama, Tsunami, Hijikata, Tobitaka and Kurimatsu- gets hungry and goes to the kitchen for midnight snacks and 2) the other half -see Kidou, Gouenji, Kazemaru, Fubuki, Hiroto, Midorikawa and Tachimukai- physically can't stop themselves from going into the neighboring bedrooms to gossip.

-There is an epidemic in Inazuma Japan where all the players will find hair in their uniforms, bags and sometimes even their bedsheets. The reason for this being that Kazemaru, Midorikawa, Tsunami and Tobitaka having such long hair and doing so much physical effort, their hair gets everywhere. At some point Endou finds blue hair in his food and just shrugs it off.

-Fudou is secretly fuming about not being part of the gossiping groups but he's too proud to admit it.

-There are two gangs. The ones who make their bed very neatly before going to practice (Kidou, Gouenji, Kazemaru, Hijikata, Hiroto, Midorikwa, Tachimukai, Tobitaka) and the ones who leave their room like a tornado went through it during the night, pillows on the floor, comforter torn off the mattress (Endou, Kogure, Kabeyama, Tsunami, Kurimatsu).

-Haruna monitors the gossip. She keeps flowcharts of player relationships for her own enjoyment. Fuyuka ended up giving it to her father, who ended up seriously using it for team strategies.

-Pranks do happen, mainly during the couple of days the team is forced to stay inside before the Australia match. Kogure started them, obviously, by simply taping doors closed or stealing items, but it spurred an entire chain reaction, which led to Tsunami and Haruna teamig up to remove the slats from Fudou's bedframe. They managed to remove two before he caught them.

-Endou falls off his bed at a frequency that is downright alarming. Sometimes his neighbors just hear a *thud* but Endou keeps snoring and will not wake up until someone shakes him awake, even if he's on the cold floor.

-The boys are explicitly forbidden from going to the girls' rooms. But Kudou forgot to specify the opposite and so Haruna spends her time crashing into the boys' rooms, especially her brother's, sometimes falling asleep there.

-Speaking of Kudou, he scares them all at the beginning, rightfully so with his severe and cryptic behavior. So much that the few players who don't always use he/him pronouns (see Kazemaru, Midorikawa and Fubuki) are at first afraid to correct him. Fuyuka gets wind of this, tells her father and he immediately adjusts, which earns him big trust points from the team.

-Tobitaka and Hijikata aren't really educated on queer people and get very confused sometimes, but they're trying their best.

-Tobitaka in particular learns that Toramaru is trans pretty late and immediately goes into big brother mode.

something something I turned them into creatures because I saw a few other people do it. I might make Alex and Brian later but I actually have more planned for Jessica and Amy. I guess this counts as an Au...? My brother helped me with Jays design so that was cool, shoutout to @rorystr 🫡
