We review the emergence and fate of goldstinos in different frameworks.
First, we consider a super-Higgs mechanism when supersymmetry breaking is
induced by neither an F-term nor a D-term but related to a more general stress
energy-momentum tensor. This allows us to build a novel Lagrangian that
describes the propagation of a spin-3/2 state in a fluid. Then we briefly
review the ubiquitous pseudo-goldstinos when breaking supersymmetry in an extra
dimension. We remind that the fermion (gravitino or gaugino) soft masses can be
tuned to be of Dirac-type. Finally, we briefly connect the latter to the study
of models with Dirac-type gaugino masses and stress the advantage of having
both an F and a D-term sizable contributions for the hierarchies of soft-terms
as well as for minimizing R-symmetry breaking.Comment: 21 page
