I just saw a beautiful explanation of the “Din Grogu” name and I thought I’d pass it along!

Essentially, Din is currently sponsoring Grogu as a Mandalorian apprentice. This is because Grogu cannot yet speak the Creed. That being said, the name “Din Grogu” is showing that Grogu is still too young to have spoken the Creed and still under Din’s sponsorship.

Once Grogu can speak and take the Creed, the “Din” will be dropped and he will become “Grogu Djarin,” seeing as he will no longer require Din’s sponsorship. But having Din’s first name there for right now tells others that Grogu is still young and under his father’s sponsorship.

I was so confused watching this but this explanation cleared a lot up for me

His name is Sir Din Grogu, son of Din Djarin of the Mudhorn clan. Follow us of the sons of the Round, and the Mandalorian creed. Knight of the planet Plazir-15 and the only Mandalorian Jedi. This is the way

Grandparents stay spoiling their grandbabies! 😂😂😂 and not caring if the parents disapproves!

I had a realisation this morning about Pedro Pascal and the world's current obsession with him. So hear me out. It's good I promise.

I was scrolling through Insta and saw this post from a woman whose account is all romance and stuff with her boyfriend. And she was talking about how he intentionally made himself a safe space for her and how that actually makes her want him sexually more and how freeing it is for her as a sexual woman. Relationships with guys often feel transactional, they do the dishes because they want sex later, or massages always end up in sex, or whatever. By taking away that pressure and transactional nature you feel safe enough to express your desire more and whenever it hits instead of feeling like you have to because he initiated a transaction. The fluff, or even the crazy smut relationships that people write fanfiction about, these fictional guys are often written as safe spaces.

And that's where Pedro comes in, he feels like a safe space, like he would do a good thing for you without anything expected in return, like he would enjoy a cuddle and kiss without any pressure, he would defend yours and anyone else's honour at the drop of a hat. He's a very safe feeling guy. He respects people, he loves enormously, everyone who meets him says he's so lovely and sweet.

And THAT, is what people all over the internet are going crazy horny for. Because you ask people outside of it all and it's like oh he's not that attractive blah blah blah, but to those who have watched his interviews, gotten to know him through social media etc, he is such a safe space and that makes us fucking feral for the guy.

Ok, essay over. These are just my thoughts spurred from one realisation about relationships and just what a beautiful soul that man is.

I’ll admit, I’m going to miss the little wizard guy. However I do like this thing where they completely change their logo randomly every few months.

I’ve started a collection:

Paz is played by Tait Fletcher but this fine thickums of a man, Ma Dong-seok, is now and forever my go-to fancast. Ma Dong-seok is who I'm imagining under that mando suit!

So true 😂

Shhhh! Don't call me out like that 😂😂😂

Lol I had to add this too!

So I wanna talk for a minute about Afissa and how she represents the problems with respectability politics. Afissa is a fae who is content to accept the status quo because while it's not great, she believes if she adheres to it, she'll be reasonably protected. She keeps her mouth shut when she hears prejudiced remarks from her employers, and she even buys into some of their prejudice, disapproving of Agreus and viewing "troublesome" fae as a threat to her security.

But in the end, none of it protects her. When shit really goes down, she's confined to the Row with everyone else, because no matter how much she tried to keep her head down and behave the way a Puck should, respectability politics cannot save her. She's still fae, and she'll always be viewed as lesser. Like minorities in the real world, Afissa cannot be good enough for people who are determined to hate and fear her.

Don't forget to reblog for a bigger sample size!

wanna underline that it was Billy Zane doing the looking out for his co-star. James Cameron very famously directed Kate Winslet in a way that left her covered in bruises and gave her double pneumonia.

and good for him. he was a pretty big star at the time, Kate was almost an unknown, and James Cameron was, yanno, himself. so for Billy to stick up for her and respect her like that was very based and sexy.

I also want to point out his mention of the consultation with wardrobe.

When shitfuck actors and directors let their misogyny and racism convince them to do "improv" or "method" that inevitably is neither impov nor method but very much harmful to their coworkers, it's not just other actors who get hurt.

Everyone working on that set ends up in the shit.

He showed basic human dignity to his costar, as well as the people on wardrobe, the people handling props, the people behind the cameras that the glasses were flying towards.

Film is a collaboration, and the vast majority of the people who make the magic happen will never be seen, heard or known.

So it's really fucking spectacular to see Mr Zane acknowledge the humanity of his coworkers and the collaborative nature of the art they made together.

People behind Velma do not understand the gang is ultimately a found family and thats their fundamental sin
