drag me further into rarepair hell challenge: what are the vibes on dinluke?
OOOOHOOHOOHOOOOOO I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED
i have lots of ideas about what their vibe would be but what i keep coming back to is: luke is the sunshine partner who goes “blah blah blah” all day long who could also kill a man with zero effort when needed while din is the partner with the (literal) hard outer shell who speaks sparingly and looks intimidating as hell but who just melts around luke.
din who’s like, “i’m not a good person and i’ve done horrible things and he deserves better,” and luke who’s just thrilled to have found someone who doesn’t see him as some mythic legend and who thinks the sun shines out of din’s ass.
din who still really doesn’t understand this jedi shit and probably never fully will but he’s trying his best. din djarin never has and never will call anything by it’s proper name and so when he calls luke's lightsaber a laser sword luke is like, “oh, you’re so lucky i’m in love with you.” din sees luke fight in battle and resigns himself to getting shot because, “well, i can’t concentrate like this.” luke who dives into the galaxy’s problems head first because he’s a fucking skywalker while din, whose only desire in life is to be a side character, grudgingly follows him.
i’m thinking about them doing the sword and shield maneuver and i am losing it. they are each simping for the other and me? i’m going absolutely bonkers.
some of this comes from separate ways by @mudhorns which i am physically incapable of shutting up about and cannot recommend enough.
also somewhat of a side note but i saw this post yesterday which made me think of them and now my brain ain’t shut up since about a fantasy au starring prince luke and his absolutely besotted knight din. i cannot stop thinking about the king and lionheart trope oh my god.
