Hello, DinCobb Nation!

Today’s the first official day of the DinCobb Fall Fest Mini Big Bang! This event will feature a more theme oriented big bang as we enter the fall season. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Halloween - Costumes, trick o’ treating, scary movies
  • Fall Aesthetic - Pumpkins, apples, colder weather
  • Spooky - Ghosts, monsters, hauntings
  • Other Fall Holidays: Rosh Hashanah, Día de Muertos, Diwali

Sign Ups Open

What is a mini big bang?

Well, it’s like a big bang but smaller. The goal of this event is to have authors produce a fic that’s between 2 and 5 thousand words. During one of the check-ins, authors submit fic drafts/summaries and artists will create something to go with the fic they were paired with.

Can I sign up as both an artist and an author?

Yes! There is the option to do both in this event.

What if I have other questions?

Feel free to ask a mod (either @cryptids-and-starlight or myself) OR check out additional details under the read more.

What’s the event schedule?

The entire event will run from August 13 to November 17. For a larger break down, check the post out here.

Just found out my facebook birding group is public because my cousin (a lawyer who is not into birds) casually said to me “saw you couldn’t identify a willet the other day… pretty embarrassing”

Grogu almost missed Cobb Vanth. He was a person, one of the few humans, other than Peli Motto, who had noticed Grogu’s relationship with the Mandalorian right away. Grogu almost missed him, because despite Cobb’s fancy words, he didn’t try to stop the bounty hunter from risking his life when they were helping the Tuskens and the Mos Pelgo town folk with the tiny little problem of a rampaging Krayt dragon. 

After all, how much of the work was the Mandalorian supposed to do? All of it? Sure the Tuskens and the town folk had come out in numbers to try to solve the problem they both experienced in the worst way, but the Marshal had just let Din walk right into the Krayt dragon’s lair without so much as a ‘Hey, what about the kid?’, passing his lips. 

Nope, he’d been much more concerned about the Mandalorian armor he’d purchased from the Jawas years before. The only way he was going to be able to keep it was if Din Djarin failed to help with the Krayt dragon and that just didn’t seem fair or right to Grogu. Mandalorian armor belonged to Mandalorians. Not Jawas. Never Jawas, really.

Grogu had seen the writing on the inside of the cuirass (don’t ask him how, Grogu knows how to keep a secret) and knew it said, in very fine print, ‘Property of Mandalore. If found, return immediately. Otherwise we’ll come and take it off you and you know what that means and it won’t be pleasant.’ Or words to that affect. 

Cobb Vanth bought the armor, put it on and immediately fell subject to the requirements written on it. He did the protect your clan part pretty well (normally on the inside of the vambrace) and the help people in need part really well (on the flight pack), but the returning it to the people who made it at such cost and with so much riding on it (someone’s whole family tree was written on the rest of the cuirass) was something the Marshal had failed at.
