A new challenger has risen

I can't stop thinking abt this fic so i had to sketch

@nerdasaurus1200 hey look who it is

Explanation of some design choices under the cut

-> I refuse to give any of my Greek character designs really short hair, though if I'm being honest this is still shorter than I wanted to go

-> Kinda tried to keep the base a little more evidently similar looking? Turns out Danny is kinda buff (see videos relating to the boxing(?) thing)

-> Ooh so the pendant thing is based off the first gizmobot with the anchors for eyebrows

-> I regret not giving him a hubris bell but it's probably for the best lest it give away his hiding spot during the cyclops encounter

-> I also regret giving him long sandals, that's gotta hurt the leg hair; will draw them shorter next time

What’s he doing walking around with a waist like that?

this is canon i dont make the rules😌

I just. Love Mando’a so fucking much. It’s so great.

They have three different words to describe ways to be stabbed. Bikadinir (to stab with a broad blade; “run through”), chekar (to stab with a small blade, “shiv”), and kalikir (to stab with a narrow blade, “skewer”).

They have one pronoun. Kaysh. That’s it. Buir is just parent, there’s no mom/dad. No son/daughter, just ad, ad’ika, ikaad. Child. Vod can mean sibling, friend, comrade. All at once. Amazing.

They have dozens of ways to insult someone. Di’kut, someone who forgets to put their pants on. Utreekov, emptyhead. Najaat, no honor. Dini, lunatic. Kaysh mirsh solus, “their brain cell is lonely.” Skanah, “much hated person/thing.” Hut’uun, coward. Ge’hut’uun, not even notable enough to be called a coward (how insulting is that?). Demagolka, originating from Demagol, the name of a scientist who was so fucking shitty that his name became the worst insult a Mandalorian could call you. And that insult is child abuser, monster, war criminal, someone with no honor.

And then there’s “shab”, which we don’t have an official definition for, but the fandom collectively agrees it means “fuck.” Because we have shabiir (to screw up), shab’la (screwed up), shab’rudur (to screw with), and shabuir (jerk but much stronger, AKA asshole/motherfucker).

And Mando’ade don’t say “I love you.” They say “Ni kar’tayli gar darasuum.” I hold you in my heart for eternity. Like. Are you serious. That’s so much better than “I love you.” If someone said that to me I would die on the spot.

Mirshmure’cya means “brain kiss.” Slang for headbutt, which is a thing Mando’ade do a lot, apparently. And it’s a sign of affection, too. They show affection by gently bonking their helmets together. How adorable is that???

Oh, and shereshoy. A lust for life “and much more.” Represented by orange on their armor. “The enjoyment of each day and the determination to seek and grab every possible experience, as well as surviving to see the next day - hanging onto life and relishing it.” And that “oy” at the end of it, derived from “Oya!”

“Oya”, which can mean so many things. A war cry before a fight or hunt. A celebration. An encouragement. “Let’s hunt!” “Hoorah!” “Cheers!” “That’s the spirit!”

This post got much longer than I meant it to lol. I’ll stop here. But you get the gist. Mando’a is a wonderful language and I am in love with it.

A new champion takes the stage,

A celestial wonder we shall now engage.

We ponder what it may be,

Another cosmic body to join our gle—

what the fuck

hes a princess and if anyone disagrees, i will fight you personally

Hc that since Arthur basically always wears his hat when around others, he uses it to conceal/hide his emotions by tilting his head down so his hat covers his face.

Except he's been hanging around Charles so much that sometimes he's caught without his hat for whatever reason. So when he tries to hide a smirk or a frown (or a blush for my charthur shippers) he instinctively looks down forgetting he doesn't have his hat.

Anyway Charles is observant and picks up on the tell super quick. He can tell when something's up bc Arthur hides behind his hat (or the absence of one).

Well Arthur isn't even aware that he does this and is equally curious and terrified of how easily Charles can read him. No one has ever been able to pick up on his small emotional cues or if they did they didn't mention it while Charles knows almost immediately. Arthur probably thought at one point or another Charles had mind reading capabilities because it is the only explanation he could think of.

And the whole time Arthur thinks he is good at concealing his emotions when it's really just his hat.
