Or the clan of two. I wasn't ready for that.
I was a little disappointed that the Space Rhino is still his signet. I was hoping Baby Yoda would be it!

How does this feel like irony?
Mainly it’s that the horse, a mode of transportation made obsolete by the automobile, is now in charge of policing automobiles when they are at rest.

As someone who understands a decent amount of Star Wars lore, what’s a foundling...?
In the canon of the show, the concept of Foundling is introduced as an orphaned or helpless child who is taken in by the Mandalorian culture, with the idea (though, importantly, not the expectation) that when they come of age they may become a Mandalorian themselves. It’s a found family trope -- it’s made clear in the last episode that whether or not the child chooses to become a Mandalorian, they are given a loving and caring home until they are an adult. It’s important within the show because the titular Mandalorian himself was a foundling, but also because looking after abandoned children is evidently of paramount importance to the culture. So it’s not just that Mando picked up this kid and felt responsible for them, it’s that when Baby Yoda is given the title of “Foundling” they become important and precious to all Mandalorians and Mando is required by law and culture to act as a full parent. It’s just a really nice “full circle” moment that Mando was a Foundling and now he is responsible for the care of one.

I was so excited when that happened but then my brain immediately tried to put a Mando helmet on his head and the EARS sam. How is this going to work??? How will they survive it???
Well, the armorer made it clear that it’s not Mando’s job to make Baby Yoda into a Mandalorian by creed, but to parent them until they come of age or he finds their birth parents. Like it seems to me the show is setting up not to have Mando train them, but to have Mando go on a sacred quest to find where they’re actually supposed to be. That said, I love the idea of Baby Yoda becoming a Mandalorian and possibly having some kind of cool modified helmet to fit their ears, though it also seems like they’re pretty flexible and they could probably tuck them down. :D
But I really actually want like, a normal Mandalorian helmet with two huge stylized horns on either side for the ears and when asked about it MandoYoda is just like “Off with your questions you can fuck!”

I think the Mandalorian singlehandly saved the reputation of SW as one of the greatest scifi universes ever (B5 is up there tho)
It really is a solid piece of sci-fi and a credit to its canon. I liked The Force Awakens and I loved The Last Jedi, but Mandalorian was enjoyable on an entirely new level for me as someone who doesn’t consider themselves “in” the Star Wars fandom.

Just out of curiosity, what was the fanfiction?
It’s called Stuck On The Puzzle. Someone recommended it on my dash and I took a look because it seemed interesting and totally got pulled in. It’s pretty heavy on BDSM (like, seriously, read the tags before proceeding) which is not usually my jam, but I really enjoyed the emotional/spiritual journey that Cullen goes on, and I do like me some hurt/comfort.
Also I know of at least two people who have actually been pulled into Dragon Age fandom by the fic, so it’s doin’ right by its canon :D

What about mustard ice cream?
I haven’t found that either! Though I’d try that, simply because I don’t know whether or not I’d like it. I’ve heard that in the ice cream sandwich hot dog thing it’s pretty awful.

Is it like the alcoholic version of the Beverly? Because that tastes like death unless you Like grapefruit, but makes for an awesome prank on the uninitiated at the Coca Cola museum.
No, not in my experience, but then, supertaster. I find Beverly tastes a bit kale-like to me, super heavy on mineral flavor, and Malort is more floral. But I also like Beverly, so.....

The real question is why they sell Malort in central illinois. We are 3 HOURS from chicago WHO IS DRINKING THIS.
I would guess the answer is mostly “suckers visiting friends in central Illinois”. :D
