I use my helmets as decoration bc i am not subtle about liking star wars and also they're hard to store and i was showing my brother the improvments i've made to my room lately and then this conversation followed

brother: *looks around* *in a diffrent voice than usual* looks like someone's a collector me: well you see i actually co- brother: how many mandalorians did you kill? got a lot of trophies i see

So anyways I've got five helmet "trophies" clearly i am an excellent bounty hunter

Thinking about how different individual mandalorians can be from eachother while still so clearly being mandalorian. I see this in fan made designs especially, mando cosplayers my beloved, it gives a great sense of camaraderie, but i see it in cannon media as well. For example, Paz Visla and Ursa Wren have massivly different armor designs, and yet they are both still so recognizable as mandalorian.

Ursa has a more curved visor shape, no beskar'ta, very few sharp angles to her armor, a loincloth but no kama, and generally lighter armor.

And then there's paz. most of his body is covered by his armor, and it is very bulky. his armor is mostly sharp angles, and he has a beskar'ta and standard t-shapeed visor. the only extra fabric besides his flightsuit and flack vest are things like his belt/belt pouches.

Both of them have a single peice for the top part of their chestplate, which is at odds with other mandalorians' three peice chestplates like boba fett has.

Not every mandalorian is human, not every mandalorian has a beskar'ta, not every mandalorian has a kama.

There are so many variables and yet you look at two mandalorians side by side and go, yep, there are two mandalorians in front of me, i should probably run.

It says a lot about them as a culture, to have such ways for each person to express themselves with their own beskar'gam.

Anyways i think it's cool i like the design freedom i get designing mando armor and i like wearing it to conventions and having armor that is both unique and fits into this group

i want to dress up as a stormtrooper with my friends and go stand on random street corners watching for rebel scum and keeping each other in line

I’d be the one you have to yell at to stop dancing and be professional ^-^

confession time most of my mandalorian characters aren’t children of the watch I just don’t like drawing faces

THE SMITHS!!!

sometimes my cosplay brainrot is actually interesting stuff that I can explain to other people why I’m smiling and sometimes it’s just me being indescribably happy about master chief dancing with a mandalorian or the rebels crew taking a picture with Kaylee from firefly or a bunch of people in armor running around doing a goofy dance together

like, ik you can have crossover fanart/fanfic but it’s a whole different feeling with cosplayers
