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.

Title : Everybody Lives - But No One Makes It Out Alive
Author : Anonymous_Radish
Summary :
Cody and Obi-Wan as Desert Husbands, but Cody dies, wakes up a teenager in a warzone with no idea of who he is, where he came from, or how he got here - all he's got to guide him are dreams and feelings -
And all his feelings are telling him is that he's destined for Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Notes :
Oh this is the best one. It's Codywan so there is that. The other thing is time travel. Cody time travels into the past but has amnesia. He appears in Melida/Daan period but it fairly quickly progresses. We have Jedi, we have Mandalorians, we have young Alderaan royalty, and best of all WE HAVE JASTER MEREEL. Go go read it no regerts
been obsessed with togruta designes and added a few things of my own for some
(i suck at drawing faces so some are scratched out)

Ly’nne is like 700 here, while Barriss and Ahsoka are around 120, and Asajj is like 150.
ARC echo would have been too powerful for the bad batch so they had to nerf him 🥲
Boss is asleep, cannot stop me from frogposting
ahsoka and shaak based on this togruta redesign by SpectralVulture !!!
What do you mean bad batch is over they’re all right… here……. Ueueueuueueueueu *devolves into sobbing I love them so much*
Wait yall I just had an idea you know how so many people thought it would be Rex who would name Echo base after Echo? What if it’s Omega?
I just made myself really excited about this idea so it’s my headcanon now
hearing Crosshair say “Clone Force 99 died with Tech” felt like getting stabbed repeatedly actually
I know it's still pretty soon to make these kinds of assumptions but how much y'all wanna bet that next year at Star Wars Celebration Tokio we'll get an announcement of an animated show about adult Omega leading her own squad?
I mean, her potential team is pretty much already there. Deke, Stak and Mox, for example. Maybe some of the kids from the Vault, though they don't have training with the Force and who knows if they'll ever be able to get it. But you know who has it? Gungi! C'mon Star Wars, give us Omega and Gungi as the Han Solo and Chewie 2.0., don't be scared. Maybe it could also be a great way to bring Cal Kestis to the TV screen? Even Lyana could join their team!
And Pabu would be their home base where they come back from time to time to restock and recharge or lick their wounds or repair their ships and we'd get a glimpse at our boys and their life because there's no way Omega isn't checking in at least once in a while okay?
Not to mention, that if Omega is joining the ranks of the Rebelion as a pilot, there is absolutely no fuckin way she won't be crossing paths with her old bestie General Hera Syndula
Me at the moment. Gosh the series finale was amazing and I'm still emotional over it
Rex: Hey boys, I could really use your help with—
Hunter, napping on the beach: Retired.
Rex: Seriously—
Crosshair, sipping a margarita: Retired.
Rex: Would you just consider—
Wrecker, playing volleyball with the baby regs: Retired.
Echo: *glares*
Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair: Retired.
Rex: Omega?
Omega, shrugging: Sure, I’m always down to kick some Imperial ass.
Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair: *grumbling, putting their armor back on*

Do you ever think about the fact that Kix literally had a breakdown on the battlefield during Umbara (aka when Tup had to get him to stop shooting) because he couldn't cope with the death and having to leave people behind because at his core he's a healer and just full of so much love for his brothers and then instead of resting in their mini break, he's helping his friends with mutiny and treason because it's a chance for him to do something else to help other than comforting the dying when so many have been lost or are you normal
