The Book of Boba Fett | Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger
INFO
Star Wars: All Types of Love week is a fandom event of fancreations, lasting a week, that celebrates love in its many forms! Since we celebrate romantic love and familial love often, we thought it might be time to give an opportunity for other kinds of love to shine!
Inspired by the Ancient Greek Philosophers and their seven kinds of love, we aim to showcase those different, less celebrated loves. Rooting for the little guys!
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
No sign-up, nothing. Just create!!!
Post during the appropriate week and you’re good!
We welcome any kind of creation, as long as it is truly yours. Even old posts being reblogged is fine! Old creations deserve as much love as new ones.
Fanfics, fanarts, moodboards, fanvids, fancomics, banners, playlists… An epic fic or a 100 word drabble, an amazing painting or a stick figures funny scene- we love it all!!
WHEN TO POST
Wednesday 7th of February, 00h00 PST, to Wednesday 14th of February, 23h59 PST.
HOW TO POST
Post under the tag SWATOLW during the week the event is running. Add the tag of the type of love you are representing.
Be sure to @ us so we can appreciate what you’ve made and put it in the round-up!
WHAT TO POST
Star Wars characters, places, animals, games… Be it from the movies, the novels, the comics, the shows like The Clone Wars, The Mandalorian, Andor or even your own OC, the important parts are:
It must be from the Star Wars fandom
It must be about Love and that love must be not romantic or familial
To get a better idea of what we mean by that, you can read more about the seven types of love here. In short, we want to give a chance to shine to:
Love of Friends #philia
Love of Strangers #agape
Love of Partners #pragma
Love of Players #ludus
Love of Self #philautia
You can post about any of these, at any time of the week. There isn’t a day assigned to each type. The point is to create without pressure and celebrate all the types of love we don’t often focus on! The more of these you depict, the more we will love you for it!
QUESTIONS
“I love my two clones who are bffs, but they are clones. Does their love count as familial?”
Well, the truth rather depends on your point of view how you present it.
Pairs like Fives and Echo, and Rex and Cody, are usually understood in canon and fandom to be family. They can be friends too, but we’d prefer to focus on other pairs for this event. Post another time. We’re sure people will love it.
Alpha-17 and Cody have a cross-generational friendship? As long as the way their relationship is described/shown isn’t the dynamic of big brother & younger brother, or father figure & son figure, it’s good!
Want to show off Waxer & Boil being two peas in a pod? We would love that! As long as it isn’t a ship or they, the characters, don’t feel like the other is kin in the way we understand it.
“I want to show my two Mandalorians who are Partners In Bounty Hunting, but they are from the same clan. Does this work?”
No. I’m sorry, but it does not. We consider clan to be the SW equivalent of immediate family, a close circle, so it’s not the right event for this. But it does work if they are just from the same house or faction!
“Can I do two Jedi who are teammates and lovers?”
You can show any characters (two, three, four…) having a relationship that is sexual and based on love. As long as that love is not romantic.
If what moves your Jedi is the sense of purpose found in duty, the common love for the Light and the wider galaxy, the playfulness and affection shared between bed partners, these feelings can be as big as the moon, and it is still fine!
That is the whole point!
Feelings can be enormous and serious and important and still not be romantic or familial.
But if it’s shown or implied that the relationship is romantic/familial or turning so at some point, that is not what our event is focused on.
We know people are a bit tired from the holidays and that Valentine’s Day is a period often rich with events, which is why we put these conditions so it can be as low-pressure as possible. The point is to rejoice in all the breadth and the richness of the human sentient experience of love. In the love of Star Wars. And in the love of this community.
Be civil and show goodwill to participants and spectators. Be kind. YKINMKATO. Go crazy! Be creative! Have fun!
Love!

Tuskens have no written language. Instead, their ancestors’ memories are passed from the old to the young, their history recounted each night under the indifferent gaze of the stars. In this way is a culture forsaken by the rest of the galaxy kept alive. There are generations in the heft of the Elder’s gaderffii and the tip of the Elder’s tongue.
“Feel how cold it is at night,” the Elder might say. “Tatooine has always been a planet of paradoxes: sea to desert, desert to ice.” On a longer night, when the Dune Sea is tilted away from all three of Tatooine’s suns, the Elder begins, “Let me tell you the tale of Rgur’okrt, he who tamed the krayt dragon with his mind.”
That is one story that is told in every tribe, though the name is as variable as the wind. Rgur’okrt and the dragon fought thirty days beneath the sand, and the whole tribe thought he was dead. But on the thirtieth day he found that he could sense the dragon’s thoughts, so he reached out and caused it to fall into a deep sleep, such that it would not wake to terrorize his people for the passing of two generations.
Then he burst from the sand, the granules spraying like droplets of water. The tribe rejoiced because he was alive. And from his robe fell out a fruit, and it broke, and spilled out milk. And Tuskens have drunk from black melons ever since.
The young do not always want to listen to these tales. “What does it matter?” they ask. “Why should we care about the history of a primitive people, of a hunted, dying race? Look around you. We choke on sand when the rest of the galaxy walks in the sky.”
So the Elder reminds them, “That is because we are not a people of sand. We are a people of water, of briny, irrepressible waves. Do you think mechanical wings are the only way to fly? Our ancestors crossed oceans on the backs of whales.”
Then the Elder tells the end of the story. All of the Tuskens’ stories end the same way.
As Rgur’okrt burst from the sand, so will the fish and the whales and the crabs. Water will fall from the sky, and water will swell from the sand. “The oceans will rise again one day,” the Elder says, and makes the children repeat the words, one after another. “The oceans will rise again one day, and we with them.”
the reason why din knows nothing about mandalorian history is because 1) he doesn’t ask questions unless it’s directly related to what he’s doing and 2) the armorer doesn’t volunteer information unless she’s asked questions or it’s directly related to what she’s doing
thinking about how the armorer
didn’t fight din for the darksaber after he said he’d taken off his helmet even though a) mandalorians will be cursed if an unworthy person wields it and b) she would have won easily
told din about the living waters instead of just saying there’s no way to redeem himself now that mandalore is a dead planet
let him keep his armor despite the whole “beskar belongs to mandalorians” thing
conclusion: the armorer believes din will restore mandalore in order to redeem himself in the living waters. also she is pro din for mand’alor
on the one hand i think bobf should remain boba's show and a din appearance would detract from that
on the other hand the dopamine from seeing that man onscreen again will keep me going for a solid two weeks
I’m a friend of the family
I came all this way, he’s right there

Ok, so I watched the Gallery episode for TBOBF and I think I’m even more frustrated about how they handled this show than I was when it came out, so there’s a rant coming.

Din: Great. Thanks, buir.
Din: Why is everybody staring at me?
Fennec: You just called the Daimyo of Tatooine "buir." You said,"thanks, buir"
Din: What? no I didn't. I said "Thanks, man"
Boba: Do you see me as a father figure, Djarin?
Din: No. If anything, I see as a bother figure, cause you're always bothering me.
Fennec: Hey. Show your father some respect.
Din: I didn't call him buir.
Boba: No no no, Djarin. I take it as a compliment.
Unfinished screencap redraw from a few weeks back bc I haven’t posted in a while and all I have are unfinished sketches. I gave Ahsoka my own redesign and Luke his hair from ANH because contrary to L*casfilm I’m not a coward

“Rain comes fast on Tatooine, without a cloud in the sky, she’ll release everything she has. I dont know when the tradition started, but eventually, the people followed suit. Life is hard here, but when it rains, for those few moments, we scream to the stars and then get back to living.”

Rain and Life on Tatooine bc I like making up Tatooine culture stuff. Another bit - you can always tell when you start thinking of Tatooine has home - cus when it rains it just clicks.
Enjoy! Do not repost!
*narrator voice* unfortunately, none of them knew that the Dark Side skips a generation.
the boys accidentally break the Vader-reveal to Boba.
Gosh, just imagine the kind of injury-induced hallucination Fennec thought she was having when Boba Fett saved her life.
Fennec (loopy from pain meds): Listen…I know I tried to kidnap your little sister that one time…but I sToLe sOme fOod foR hEr, I sweAr.
Boba: ….
Fennec: Didn’t there used to be three more of you?
Boba:
Boba: I’m going to double-check your dosage.
Yesterday's meme!!! Had a blast and a cackle drawing this one!! First panel from @incorrectmandalorian , the last two inspired by my own HC that the Kryze's only speak Mando'a ceremonially (and Old Republic Mando'a at that), and read only barely??
I HC that they see it as a class symbol more than a tenant of the Resol'nare they don't follow?? Big Colonizer Vibes 😬👌🏻
my cruel request is for this to happen at least once
have i seen the book of boba fett? did you mean 'local man adopts several cybernetic children to start a crime family'??? because if so, yes
