anyone ask for crosshair with wings?
he's missing his right hand in the bottom right corner because I wanted to be canon accurate. no other reason....

Am I the only one who sees 'togruta' and reads it as 'tortuga?'
I always have to do like a double-take or check my spelling because every time I come across the word 'togruta' my brain just immediately reads it as 'tortuga.'
Like, yeah no, makes total sense. Ashoka's a turtle. Yup, that checks out.
Even while writing this my brain's going 'tortuga.' I've had to backspace a few times because I kept spelling it 'tortuga' instead of 'togruta.'
Verbally too! When talking about togrutas if I don't accidentally say tortuga I'll take like way too fucking long to over-enunciate it to make sure I get it right so I don't look like an idiot.
baby girl na'vena!!
she is eidami's other girlfriend! she's the mechanic and pilot of the group, she only allows eidami to help her fix stuff because lotti messes things up on purpose and valsi messes things up on accident.
The Mandalorian trickster/luck deity, Hod Ha'ran!
Somewhere I heard that the traditional T-shaped visor worn by the Fetts and Din Djarin is best suited for long range precision shooting while the more leaf-shaped design worn by Bo Katan is preferable for hand-to-hand combat. This, combined with the fact that we almost exclusively see the former worn by male Mandalorians and the latter by female Mandalorians, implies that the traditional gender roles of Mandalorian society are "melee" and "ranged" and I just think that's lovely
rex disappearing into this ominous ahhh fog was so extra of him like where does he think he’s going 😭
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.
y'all ever get bored and draw a tattoo design based off a fictional family the made you cry
all of the batch are represented in some way:
-the half skull is hunter
-the cracks around the skull's eye is crosshair
-the explosion is wrecker
-the kinda glitch effect/tech-ish pattern around the explosion is tech
-the gears are echo because I couldn't figure out how to fit his handprint in here
-the thing at the very top is omega's little pendant from when the first got her
Heh. Not yet…
I was listening to epic earlier and I can't get a star wars epic au out of my brain
like, jango as odysseus, obi-wan as penelope, Anakin takes the role of telemachus, myles is polites, polyphemus I wanna say is like dooku or someone (maybe poseidon as palpatine), and athena is jaster/jaster's ghost (might be ooc, I haven't read anything he's from)
jango would be aged down or whatever, but him and obi-wan meet pre-galidraan
i just think jango and odysseus are similar types of tragic where they started off these kings with loyal crews and then disaster struck and they became corrupted and singleminded focused on one thing (odysseus getting back to his family and jango his son/legacy)
