Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
So Rex spends his time trying to stop his General from undertaking reckless plans without consulting General Kenobi.
And Cody is constantly trying to make his General look after himself without resorting to calling the healers or General Skywalker.
Meanwhile Wolffe has to stop his General from adopting all the things andPonds spends a lot of time trying to convince General Windu to let THEM do the protecting.
And we’ve just decided that whichever poor Clone Commander was assigned to Kit Fisto faces a constant battle to stop him fighting naked.
So what other bad habits do the Jedi have that the clones need to deal with? Does Vos constantly go AWOL? Why foibles does Aayla have that drive Bly nuts? What about Luminara?
I love any and all handmaiden content so if you happen to write said Empire-era Padme and Handmaidens 👀 👀 👀 👀
empire-era sabédala though??
oh my gosh
Do you have any Mirialan headcanons?
OH BOY DO I!!!
Ok… ok I can do this. I apologize, this is my first anon and I’m a little beside myself with excitement right now.
Ok, Mirialans.
Canon says they’re a near-human species, and other than some weird colored skin and tats, the only inhuman thing they have is their flexibility and agility. Their home world, Mirial, is cold and dry. Their geometric tattoos are usually done after some sort of personal achievement, which I personally read as a ‘right of passage’ sort of thing.
So, they come in yellow, green, and pink, and other than their skin color, their tattoos are their most notable attributes.
Personally, their tattoos always looked to me like the sort of patterns you’d see on a snake. I mean, I live in the American southwest, this is prime rattlesnake territory, and several of the tattoo designs you see in SWTOR look just like that. Yellow, and green are pretty common colors in snakes, and I dare you to find me an animal that better fits their ‘super flexible’ attribute.
So Mirialans are snake people.
More specifically, they are a reptomammalian species that resemble humans through convergent evolution. As reptomammals, they possess both reptilian and mammalian characteristics. The way I saw it explained with Tauntauns, Mirialans are covered from head to toe in scales, and certain scales grow hair, say on their heads and faces.
Unlike humans, they don’t have body hair. Men can have beards, but that is usually due to having some human in their ancestry.
Their body can regulate its temperature, but not quite as well as a full mammal, so they generally run very cold compared to humans and they tend to suffer more in extreme heat.
Depending on what region of Mirial their ancestors come from, their scales can be thicker and rougher, or smaller and smooth. They do not have any natural patterning to their scales, but it is fairly common to have their palest scales on the chest and belly and the darkest at their spine. However, long ago their ancestors did have scale patterns, and so that is where their tattoo designs came from.
Having evolved on a cold planet, and being omnivorous, they needed to bring their prey down quickly to avoid expending precious heat and energy chasing it down, thus their ancestors were venomous. And unlike the scale patterns, they kept the venom. Their incisors are sharper than a human’s and they have a set of upper and lower fangs. Like snakes, their upper fangs are hollow and they have a pair of venom glands situated just beneath their cheekbones. They can open their mouths well beyond a human’s range of movement, and at full flexion, the muscles surrounding the glands squeeze the venom down and out the tips of the fangs. The venom itself is fatal to anything smaller than a medium sized child and is composed of a mix of neurotoxin and hemotoxin.
The neurotoxin causes localized paralysis, making it difficult for a victim to flee, and if it’s small enough, respiritory failure. The hemotoxin destroys red blood cells and makes clotting difficult, but mostly it’s there to cause pain and hopefully shock to the victim. Left untreated, a Mirialan bite can cause days of agony and permanent organ damage to an adult. Common poison antidotes can alleviate the paralysis and prevent any organ damage, but little can be done about the pain.
A general Mirialan antivenom exists and can stop the majority of the toxin, but only antivenom made from the offending Mirialan or related family members, will fully counteract it. It’s because of this that more responsible individuals carry personalized antivenom. Still, in this day and age of blasters and thermal detonators, you have to have majorly fucked up for a Mirialan to bite you.
They have good senses of smell, and average vision and hearing, but like snakes, they are able to ‘see’ in infrared. Its like someone turned up the color saturation on hot objects and they practically glow in the dark.
They’re from a largely matriarchal society, and if you want those sweet sweet tats, you need to complete a sort of coming of age feat. The feat in question is often tailor made to each individual to test their strength. Ex. A girl who likes hunting could be asked to go kill a certain tough critter, or guy who likes science could be asked to write a dissertation in his field. Basically something that was a challenge but not impossible
The facial tattoos were the ones they had to earn, but body tattoos were just for decoration, like any other species. Although it is common for those with facial tattoos to have that pattern repeated or expanded upon on the rest of their body.
Oh.
And a Mirialan man’s dick is held inside his body and only comes out when it’s party time.
Aaaaand I think that’s it. If I think of anything else major I’ll try to post it.
Thank you so much for your question!
