Awholelottayeehaw - Howdy, Ya'll

Look, I don't care if you ship Bo and Din. But for the love of Morgan Freeman please STOP saying Grogu needs a mother. As a child of a single parent and that parent being the child of a single parent, it's so dehumanizing to see Din be reduced to a man requiring a partner to fulfill his child's need for a nuclear family. I haven't felt the need to say this as I haven't seen this kind of aggression with other ships and I think it's because its heteronormative, and I really need people to just... stop.

If you ship them, fine. If you love the idea of Grogu gaining a bonus parent who makes him and his dad happy, awesome! But to reduce Din and Grogu to two people who need someone to complete them after Din has done SO MUCH for Grogu as his child on his own is insulting. Single parents are often harshly judged in our every day lives because people think their children can only be fulfilled and successful with two (HETERO) parents when that's not the case. It also reduces the growth Grogu inspired in Din to overcome his religious trauma and realize he's a good father and Mandalorian even if Din doesn't think that of himself. Needing a partner or another parent to fill in a missing piece that doesn't exist is unfair to real people and characters alike. Even for Bo as a female anti-hero in a male dominate show to be reduced to "mother" when she has decades of history that has made her a fleshed out, stand alone SW character who doesn't need another show to be fulfilled by its protagonist. It's insulting to any female SW characters to be reduced to being just a partner or parent and their original purpose isn't even acknowledged or considered in the plot just so that the romantic itch can be scratched without any real reason or purpose other than "why not?" Just... learn to not dehumanize female SW characters or undermine single parents and children of single parents. This isn't shaming fanfic writers or readers or anyone for wanting Din to be happy and liking the idea of someone being a bonus parent to Grogu, this is towards the people who keep insisting Din and Grogu will be happier and complete with a partner/parent. And I hope this comes across that way cause I know some people make get offended over this when it's not intended to do so.

I went No Contact with half of my family after my white great uncle told me he blamed my directionless lifestyle on not having a strong male figure in my life when I was doing just fine and he knew nothing about my life. The way he talked about my mom was enough for me to realize how many people agreed with him and I burned that bridge so fucking fast because my mom was a fierce woman who didn't need a man to be an awesome mother and made it very clear that any partner would be second fiddle to me and my siblings. We came first. As did her career. Romantic partners and parenthood should add zest to the life you already live, not uproot it to fit into theirs or uproot theirs to fit into yours. So don't do that to Din and Grogu, no matter who you ship him with.

Howdy, I'm new here!

So that means I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing cause I'm #old but I'll figure this site out eventually. In the meantime, hi! I'm coming out of fanfiction retirement mostly in the Star Wars community for now, specifically for the Mandalorian. I've only written two fics so far but once I get cozy in my new home and figure out this and the app, I'm excited to hype up other writers and space dad fans!

ok yeah I am actually very concerned about the mandalorian.

because if everything I’m hearing/seeing is true….they are taking the whole series/story away from the central character in a way that feels, in my opinion, like it’s happening far too abruptly and far too soon.

for many people, maybe most people, din’s story was the one that mattered. For that to be wrapped up so shortly without a truly satisfying ending to his character in pursuit of covering other characters that the casual viewer hasn’t been given enough back story for yet….it just feels incredibly disappointing and like such a gravity shattering let down for literally the SW universe’s most popular show. And if Pedro is actually going to leave and leading to the character leaving focus…I don’t think people will ever care as much as they once did.

I did not expect this for this show and it feels like such a blaster wound to the chest. I’m so sad and I do not for the life of me understand how or why this is the direction they are choosing to take to end this character’s incredible potential.

I hope it’s rumors. But the more we find out the more I’m like ….wow they’re really crushing it just like that.

As much as I love watching needy subs, I’m also a needy dom.

“I wanna fuck you so bad” “Spread your legs for me, baby, please” “God I need to kiss you” “Show me that pretty ass of yours, please, baby”

Both times I hit randomize I was called out. Just change the "great-aunt" to "great-uncle" and both are pretty spot on for me already.

okay but nessie was given the scientific name nessiteras rhombopteryx so she’d be included in the conservation of wild creatures and wild plants act of ‘75.

it’s a felony to shoot bigfoot in washington state.

the human race has sent out messages to the stars, hoping that any extraterrestrials who hear will accept our offer of friendship.

ghost hunters extend their sympathy to the souls of murder victims and bring along items that the spirits loved in life.

I think there’s something very human about the desire to believe in the paranormal. we don’t know if any of these things truly exist, but we make the offer of friendship and protection anyway. I just think it’s really lovely in its own ridiculous way.
