Tama: gives Luffy a bowl of rice when he needs it instead of eating herself Luffy: showers her starving town in literal mountains of fresh food and water in repayment me: Monkey D. Luffy operates like a fucking fey and for everyone he meets is the random supernatural encounter in a parable about karma starring them. In this essay I will—
strong weirdly rote devotion to wild feasts w/ dancing
follows rigid but alien blue and orange morality
rebalances the scales wherever he goes so most people get exactly what’s coming to them beyond the bounds of reason (when Luffy is not nearby, the One Piece universe very much does not operate like this); most major exceptions: both his sworn brothers, who might be of similar stock and obviously don’t count somehow
on rare occasions spirits people away from their lives on whims
does not always give them back
avoids calling people not among this number their real names
-Mandalorians in live-action: *Can’t remove their helmets.*
-Mandalorians in The Clone Wars/Rebels:
“I take my helmet off for no one”
“I might put my helmet on when someone’s shooting at me”
“my last act before dying will be to superglue this bucket to my skull lest any curious asshole set eyes on my face that no one’s ever seen but my mother and the midwife”
“I put it on for fights but my hair looks too awesome to keep hidden all the time
“I put it on to fight but otherwise it squishes my ears”
“I will show you my face when I ask you to marry me”
“If I show you my face I’m asking you to marry me”
“if you know what my face looks like then we’re friends and you can ask me to risk death for you and I’ll only give you shit about it if it’s for a really stupid reason”
“if you see my face I’ll kill you”
“I will show my face to everyone in this restaurant because they have nerf fritters in capsaicin sauce and I can’t stuff them in my face-hole four at a time with my helmet on”
“I wear my helmet all the time so I don’t have to look in a reflection and see me getting older than my father was when the Jedi killed him.”
Everyone’s talking about this guy, the clone who punched a droid.
Everyone seems to collectively have forgotten that his dumbass general thought kicking general “the head clanker” Grievous was a good idea and his very tired commander, THE marshal commander, who will throw himself on the nearest available droid as though this isn’t standard operating procedure for the 212th.
did you ever consider, that the nickname Clankers comes from the sound of Clone Armor hitting a Battle Droid, and that Cody is very much the one who coined it?
What’s hiding behind the facade of marshal commander in an attempt to look absolutely competent is the reason he was assigned kenobi in the first place: the man’s off his rocker
