THE SMITHS!!!

THE SMITHS!!!

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 think about mandalorians way too much I honestly wish I could turn it off sometimes.

that said it is nice to have something that consistently makes me happy and I have just made a whole playlist of youtube videos of mostly mando cosplayers dancing at conventions with a couple other goofy skits tossed in and I love it so much

mom has started saying "Hey! watch your language" when i say dank farrick and i think she's serious so that's over i suppose

and i ramble enough about mando'a to the family that sheb shab shabuir mirsheb and osik are probably off the table too

Finally something that explained tumblr etiquette in a way that would get through my apparently thick skull

reblog things. Got it. Finally. Look out world here comes the evidence of Star Wars brainrot I hope you like art that makes you cry

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 ^-^
