lio, he/they, 20+. i write fic and talk about the mandalorian, star wars, and other shit i like here. sometimes that shit is nsfw. follow at your own discretion. AO3: waterdeaths.
star wars content you’ll find here: mauldin, darth maulposting, ANDOR ANDOR ANDOR, cassian/din aka cassidin, din djarin’s sad little life, star wars meta, jedi love, mace windu, kit fisto powerhour, maulsoka,anadin (anakin/din djarin), quinobi (quinlan vos/obi-wan), lots of love for the star wars ladies (reva, padme, leia, ahsoka, luminara, asajj ventress, etcetera), dinluke, star wars: visions, and much more.
other content you’ll sporadically find here: hades (game), interview with the vampire, barbie (2023), poetry, and more.
core writing concepts: the sins of the father as the backbones of their sons, selfish sacrifice, unearned forgiveness, thriving in spite of trauma, self-destruction as a survival mechanism, degradation of the human spirit, destruction necessitating change, what makes a man a monster, and love as the question and the answer. dark subject matter is present; this blog is not for everyone. again, follow at your own discretion.
on fic: reblogs, likes, and commenting on my fic in the tags are all HEAVILY ENCOURAGED. i love to see everyone’s thoughts on what i’m writing. don’t be shy. let me be nosy.
i accept writing prompts and requests! i have the right to decline requests as well. this is for fun, people.

Attachment Theory (Rating: E) Din is a Mandalorian, but when Luke comes for Grogu on Moff Gideon’s ship, he acts like a Jedi: he selflessly gives the child up. Grogu is a Jedi-in-training, but he acts like a Mandalorian: he is territorial and attached to his buir, and his protectiveness easily manifests as violence. Luke is supposed to be Grogu’s Jedi Master, but how is he supposed to teach Grogu how to let go, when he himself struggles not to hold onto parts of his past?
The answer: the trio go on stupidly a dangerous cross-galaxy road-trip in the rebuilt Razor Crest to a lost Jedi library in search of Jedi training tools. Pairing: Dinluke, DinMaul(ish).
The Father, The Son, and the Unholy Ghost (Rating: T) Luke likes Din. Din likes Luke. Din is less crazy about Luke’s insane, evil father who keeps trying to kill him from beyond the grave. Pairing: Dinluke. Now featuring art by @its-not-a-pen!
Fate Lays Her Heavy Hand (Rating: T, Eventually E) Darth Momin, heretic of the Sith and galaxy’s greatest hater, time-travels to the Republic Era to end Sidious’ reign before it begins. Why? Because he hates Sidious almost as much as he loves the Force. Pairing: Maul/Padme/Momin, Vader/Krismo Sodi
Nothing is My Name (Rating: T/Gen) An exploration of Din Djarin’s life, from his childhood on Aq Vetina to his early years as the Covert’s lead hunter. Pairing: Mild Din/Armorer, Din/Paz Viszla, unrequited!Din/OC
The Devil’s Red Right Hand (Rating: T, Eventually E) Through sheer orneriness and force of will, Maul rejects death, rips a hole in the Force, and propels himself back in time to destroy Sidious by stopping the Clone Wars from ever happening. First stop: Naboo. Pairing: Potentially Maul/Padme
In the Shadow of the Valley (Rating: T, Eventually M) AU. The first Mandalorian Jedi was Tarre Viszla. The second was Din Djarin. AKA, the one where Din is a padawan, and everything is terrible. Pairing: Potentially Din/Padme/Anakin
The Bitten Hand Holds the Bounty (Rating: M for torture and graphic death) Someone hires Cad Bane to kidnap Grogu. Din sets the galaxy aflame to get him back. Pairing: DinCobb
Negative Space (Rating: T, Eventually E) Nature, they say, hates a vacuum. Which explains why Din, someone who is force negative or totally cut off from the Force, touches the Force beacon on Typhon and screws up the time-stream so bad he winds up in the Old Republic Era.

creature of desire, you’ve a fever for the fire: (Rating: M, graphic animal death | Wordcount: 3000) In which godhood is a thing with teeth, sainthood was made to block the light, and Kimimaro is just a man looking for divinity in the flesh.
patches make the quilt (Rating: T | Wordcount: 5633) The war is over. Haku and Zabuza rebuild their lives on a farm, and find themselves growing in the process.
death of a bellflower (Rating: T | Wordcount: 1238) Even for a Kaguya, Kimimaro is especially out of touch, with a naivety that seems incongruous with his family name. Privately, Kimimaro’s milky, wide-eyed stares remind Haku of a newborn kitten’s: seeing without discerning. Zabuza thinks he’s a liability. Haku thinks he’s cute. Pairing: Haku/Kimimaro, first crush
death is a friend of mine (Rating: T | Wordcount: 5676) Haku’s never feared dying; he’s done it many times. It’s finding something to live for that’s the hard part.
blood under the bridge (Rating: T | Wordcount: 1302) Zabuza dies during the battle for the bridge. Haku dies with him, though his heart yet beats.
a kicked dog still bites (Rating: T | Wordcount: 600) Yamato is assigned surveillance duty over a Yuki, of all things, and he’s 100% certain the next six months are about to be cold and miserable. Pairing: Gen

Part one of that master swap au I said I’d do a while back, this one is the start so its master Dooku with his padawan Ahsoka
thereβs a war between Sucking and Fucking
you people cannot be trusted in the war room

Writing in General (For those who don’t want to die like Stormtroopers)
- SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).
- ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I’ve ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, it gives +20 different in-depth reports for only the first 500 words for free. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn’t mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you’re writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And they just add a new feature, which just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit.
- LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence, even if it doesn’t raise any flags; it’s very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn’t feel quite right.
- Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.
in star wars fandom how is everything about anakinβs fall always everyone elseβs fault except the guy who personally designed it to be a no hit run of Sith Apprentice Generator IV
in legends palpatine wrote this book of monsters about sith creations and included an entry for darth vader, and described the amount of joy he got from turning a nine year old into a war machine. the entry ends with maybe the most chilling line in anything even star wars adjacent, where palpatine says, βgiven the opportunity to create vader again, i would, and with glee,β or thereabouts. the entire entry is haunting, but that final line is completely fucking chilling; palpatine is the ultimate, insidious force, and no matter how long it took, how difficult it was, or what anakin did to him, palpatine wouldnβt have stopped. even after being killed by vader, palpatine would still go back and do it all over again, even if it ended in vader killing him. palpatine - famous for the ways heβs attempted to cheat death - would risk it all just for the joy of curbstomping a nine year oldβs soul into hell one more time. and this is just something that exists that we can all read
what you all thought i was joking? you all thought i was joshin? i was crafting joshuas? you thought i was fucking around?
manager in the fanfiction universe: I don’t care how many flower petals you’re coughing up. You need to come in today

Urbosa as Gustav Klimt’s Judith and the Head of Holofernes (1901) for Atelier Hylia (on twitter)
Let’s all remember today that The Empire exists because of Anakin’s fear and selfishness. He was selfish enough to kneel before Palpatine and decide that his life with Padme was more important than every man who died in that prison without seeing the sun for years. He decided that his pain should be more important than the families of every man who drowned escaping. He decided that his comfort was worth more than Cassian growing up with parents and a sister, and later, his adoptive father. He decided that being an adult and facing the possibility of loss was too much burden and that Bix’s phycological destruction was a fair trade. He decided that due process, and Mon Mothma’s daughter, and Luthen Rael’s peace, and Nemik’s life were worth losing as long as he didn’t have to go through grief.
THAT is attachment. It’s the fear of loss so great it blinds a person to the consequences of their actions. People say the Jedi didn’t love. But who had more love? Anakin Skywalker, who traded Kino Loy’s life for his own fear? Or Obi Wan Kenobi, who killed his brother and himself on the banks of that hellscape so that the Galaxy would not come to this?
