Reblogging to hurt my own feelings, wyd.

What if I just hurt my own feelings real quick.

[fire-on-fuel]

I know some people really like to lean into more positive readings of kal and etain and that's chill but there is something so tragic about her getting involved with the skiratas. On the one hand if she never met them she would've had a much harder time being with darman and would've never been exposed to mandalorian culture or given any way out of the war. On the other hand, especially revisiting the series, it's almost hard to watch her imprint on kal. I wouldn't call it a corruption arc but it's a very specific feeling watching her get involved with these old ass hardened mando mercs and just not understand how differently they see the world. She sees how they care and she sees how what they do is necessary but she doesn't understand how much is lost to get there until she's lost it too. There's something almost sickly sweet about how well she gets along with vau when theyre working together to assassinate someone. And I don't want this to be interpreted as me thinking etain should've remained "pure" or some other weird shit- it's just sad, right? the inevitability? the way she continues to idolize kal because her empathy puts that part of him front and center? Maybe she was naive before- but she was also strong and convicted and in an odd way more self-assured about some things. And that girl is never coming back. There is a grief in that. I think. And I think her interpersonal problems often stemming from actions that mirror kal's least positive traits makes it even more apparent

A duckling will imprint on a stoat, if that's the source of warmth made available to it. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I can agree that it was sad to watch Etain have to grow up so fast/painfully in order to have what she wanted (Darman, a family, to serve a purpose) buuuut, I mean, she chose to join up with the Mandos because she wanted IN with those people, knowing fully that they were the opposite of her Jedi upbringing. She wanted to be in with the people Darman and Jusik were most attached to, then she even wanted those extended bonds just for herself. So it's probably better for a duckling to be able to shed her soft feathers and grow fangs of her own, if she wants to bed down with stoats.

reblog Mulder’s drawing of bigfoot titties or be cursed for 12 years and 12 nights

[carcharothiel]

You know what, not even gonna risk that shit.

That one scene at the beginning of Triple Zero when the Nulls shut down the entire barracks because they don't wanna be chilled down, so the CO's have someone go arrest Skirata and drag him to where the stand-off his happening in hopes that he'll get his kids to calm TF down 😆

[ysalamir]

I wouldn't say that tbobf was like my ideal boba show or anything but I did appreciate that he had some mean lesbian following him around and telling him how bad his ideas were. because that's my ideal situation. I want to be fennec shand so bad.

[carcharothiel]

Rarely does something trigger my infamous honk-laugh but this definitely got me 🤣

[nocturius-pabu-core]

Kal'buir might be smol but he probably can carry as much as a commando. 😤

He really should take care of his ankle tho.

[carcharothiel]

And we haven't even had a chance to catalog the sheer number of snacky snacks hidden in there too, LOL.

[carcharothiel]

Working on my Beskar'gam. About 2/3rds of the pieces are attached! Note to Tall People: us short ones still typically have skulls the same size as yours, and that little anatomical tidbit can sometimes be emphasized by things like helmets, LOL. (in my case, Kal Skirata would TOWER over me, not to even mention a clone trooper 🙄)

Rather than be insecure about it, I'm channeling my inner T-Rex and just accepting it as an additional weapon, which I think is very Mando Coded of me. 😆 and once I get me some of them claw-grabber things, its over for you bitches.

Thanks to those that gave me some assembly advice! I'm finally making some progress here! 😊 @arliganzey and @ysalamir

[carcharothiel]

Sev, stone-cold Killer and best sniper in the GAR, talking about Fi, who relentlessly annoys him with his friendship/won't let him unsubscribe to said friendship.

When golden retriever energy clone is put on watch with black cat energy clone. LOL.

[nocturius-pabu-core]

You guys didn't want them to have toys and hobbies. You can't blame him!

- Kal, probably.

[carcharothiel]

On this fine day (night? You probably can't tell on Kamino and bro is chronically sleep deprived) Kal Skirata learned a lot about chemical fires AND became the embodiment of the Surprised Pikachu Meme. 🫡

[carcharothiel]

Etain's imagination: must have been an epic fight to the death with a large, fearsome animal like a nexu or something

The reality: Kal accidentally startled 3-5 feral tookas by trying to hide in the same dumpster as them (probably made Jango mad for the 455th time and needed to lay low for a bit)

Someone please draw this 🤣

[carcharothiel]

Was watching Jurassic World and at this part, I pictured Skirata desperately trying to wrangle half a dozen scary, hyper-smart, ethically dubious preteens who are now bigger than him and are experiencing testosterone. It probably looked (and felt) something like this.

[carcharothiel]

Rereading Legacy of the Force: Revelation and at the part when Jaina Solo meets Venku/Kad'ika and Gotab/Bardan Jusik, Venku takes off his helmet and its described as being "red with a distinctive Grey trim".

That's Ghez Hokan's helmet.

Which became Fi's helmet when he took Hokan's beskar'gam at the end of Republic Commando: Hard Contact.

Fi's helmet has been passed to Venku. Which means Fi only lived, at most, to be sixty-something. Kal's age in RepCom. And now Darman's son carries part of Fi with him. 💔 Aaaaand now I've gone and upset myself.

[carcharothiel]

Kal Skirata, several times, probably.
