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!
Holy HELL this is good...
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames Breaking the habit and melting the chains Embracing the fear, chasing the fight The glow of the fire will light up the night The bridges are burning, the heat’s on my face Making the past an unreachable place Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames I know, this is the point of no return
Point of no return by Starset is a great song and it always reminds me of shin teikoku Genda so here we are now
Knight Dooku and his ten-year-old Padawan Rael Averross travel to Oleracia, a planet in the Outer Rim, to bring home a Force-sensitive child.
Read the fic here!
That second art was just an excuse to draw Amaya’s full outfit
People be all like; it’s Rey’s lightsaber. It’s Luke’s lightsaber. It’s Maz’s lightsaber.
I can’t say that I particularly care a ton in this specific case but honestly, things would be so much easier if characters just… made their own sabers. And it would be easier if they really leaned into that while kyber semi-sentience/choosing stuff.
I don’t know many people who said Anakin’s lightsaber was Luke’s saber. As far as I know, it was considered he was using/had his fathers saber. Other Jedi carried around others’ sabers as well. Obi-Wan used Qui-Gon’s for quite some time before he went and made his own again. Cal Kestis carried around his own masters saber for, like, five years. If I remember correctly, I think it was Kit Fisto (maybe it was someone else, not entirely sure) he carried around his deceased padawan’s saber. This appears to be a fairly common practice.
I don’t care a whole lot, although I feel especially with lightsabers, it’s really the creator’s saber, whether or not someone else uses it for any amount of time. And honestly, you can call it Rey’s saber or Luke’s saber or whatever but I think, generally speaking, the saber will always be the builder’s saber. The one who bonded with the kyber inside. The one who made it.
Honestly, I’d rather have a character bond with their own kyber crystal and make their own saber, than using someone else’s/having it passed down and claiming it as their own.
But that’s just my thought on the matter.
My friend just said “no one cares about clexa”, so pls if you care for clexa just reblog or like this so that I can run in her face

Let Me Drive My Van Into Your Heart
Reblog this if you ship C-3PO x R2-D2, the tag is barren and I feel alone
(Has this been done before?)
Sakura and Karin
● Sakura and Karin exchange letters when Karin is stationed in one of the hideouts which are close to the Hidden Leaf (like the one shown in Gaiden for example.)
● This can rarely happen because Orochimaru keeps changing which hideout everyone is stationed in very frequently.
● Karin dropped by once to see Sakura. It was when Sarada got very sick
● Karin tried to return the umbillical cord to Sakura because of traditional purposes, but Sakura let Karin keep it instead as a reminder of how they helped each other when they were in dire need(Sakura healing Karin when she was severely injured and Karin helping Sakura during labour)
● The cord is a symbol of their bond as well as being the thing that biologically connects Sarada to Sakura, and spiritually connects Karin to both Sakura and Sarada
● Karin’s new hair do? Sakura’s the one who styled it.
● Karin’s glad that Sasuke’s found some one as great as her
● Sakura is Karin’s first female friend. She couldn’t be happier
Sasuke and Karin
● Their relationship has greatly improved and they see each other as comrades.
● He’s incredibly grateful for what she’s done for Sakura and himself
● He’s even showed her ‘that’ smile as a way of saying thank you
● Even though their bond is not of romantic love, like a teenaged Karin would fantasize about, there still is a connection between them as being comrades. Karin’s alright with this because she knows that bonds come in different forms and its not a black and white thing.
●Some of her feeling linger, but she’s not sure if its those kinds of feelings
● Sasuke finds her love-hate relationship with Suigetsu really amusing, even though he could diffuse the argument, he doesn’t.
Sarada and Karin
● Karin is Sarada’s crazy yet lovable aunt
● After finding out that Sarada’s face was more heart-shaped like Sakura’s, she got Sarada the pair of squoval glasses she has in Boruto the Movie, because it suits her face better then the sort of cat eye shape she had in Gaiden
● As Sarada gets older, she’d ask auntie Karin for frame suggestions
● Karin teared up a bit when she was refered to as an aunt (because it was such an affectionate term to her)
● She thinks Sarada resembles Sakura facially except her smile that has a certain Sasuke-y-ness to it
● Karin tells her that Sasuke was more stressed that Sakura even though Sakura was the one giving birth
Sarada and Suigetsu
● Sarada’s still a little bit salty about the mixed up DNA test and would often tease Suigetsu about his mistake.
● He’d end up telling her about a lot of inappropriate things like about that one time he was totally naked in front of in Sasuke
● She’d edge away from him slowly when he gets a bit too crazy
● He’d be the first one to ask her if she had a crush
● She thought that he and Karin were a couple. She was corrected by an angry Karin
● Out of Taka, she likes him the most due to his chill and carefree attitude, and the occasional jokes
● She picked up on his habit of spouting out (Good? Bad?) jokes
● She actually makes an attempt to diffuse his arguments with Karin.
● He teaches her how to use a large heavy weapon like his sword(like a giantic axe or something) after a little bit of convincing and seeing that her amazing Chakra control gave her Super Human Strength.
Sasuke and Suigetsu
● Nothing much has changed between these guys
● Suigetsu might make an unsavoury comment about Sasuke’s clothes
● The first time Sarada called Sui 'uncle’ he broke down, started sobbing and gave Sasuke a very uncomfortable hug.
● “Uncle, UNCLE! She called me uncle!!! Did ya hear that Sasuke? Did ya hear!? I’m an Uncle!’ sobbed an overwhelm Suigetsu
● 'Yes, you are an uncle. Not because of your age. Not because of blood relations. But simply because Sarada sees you as such.’ Says Sasuke, trying to edge away from Suigetsu’s soggy grip.
Sakura and Suigetsu
● Her anger towards Suigetsu (because of the DNA test) fades over time
● She doesn’t physically lash out at him, she just gives him the look.
● She thinks that Suigetsu is a good influence on Sarada due to his laid back and humourous nature. Sakura thinks Sarada can be too tense and anxious some times, so she thinks Suigetsu’s involvement would help.
Sarada and Juugo
● She likes the fact that he seems to be one with nature
● She doesn’t believe some of the stories she’s heard about him
● She later gets to know that Mitsuki shares his unique bloodline limit

In response to why Obi-Wan is losing armour during the course of the war (now that i've been released from captivity):
The suicidal ideations theory: Obi-Wan is slowly losing his armor during the course of the war because he is getting more careless with his life since he is losing the will to live. -- The loss of armour symbolises the decline of his mental health.
The practicality theory: Obi-Wan is losing armour beause as the war drags on he simply does not have the time to deal with the logistics of wearing armour. He is simply cutting back the time he would spend on maintenance + putting it on/taking it off + storing it. -- The loss of armour symbolises increasing urgency.
The martyr theory: Obi-Wan is tired of changing his fighting style to accommodate the extra weight and restrictions. He is prioritizing speed (which in the case of his preferred lightsaber style, Soresu, means acting as a human shield) over his own protection. -- The loss of armour symbolises his desire to protect others at the cost of his own safety.
The identity theory: He is losing his armour in protest because he feels like his duties as a soldier are in contradiction with his Jedi lifestyle. The armour, or rather what it represents, conflicts with his principles. -- The loss of armour symbolises his reaffirmance of his Jedi identity.
The aesthetic theory: It just isn't his look. -- The loss of armour symbolises Obi-Wan's status as a bimbo.
