That Is When The First Crow Landed. It Fluttered Down, Its Talons Curling Around A Branch. Then Came

That is when the first crow landed. It fluttered down, its talons curling around a branch. Then came another. Another. A parade of black settled about the tree, cawing and purring under the stars.

This is so good... It's amazing.

I'm not sure if you do headcanons, but do you have any on Teres and Edgar? Like, their relationship. Because they are so rare. And you're awesome and one of the only people I found to have any content about them

I'm not someone that can write a long list but if some small headcanons are good for you...? 👉👈. Also, I recommend you to ask my friend @midorikawawas, she loves them and has amazing headcanons!

The first time Teres invited Edgar to eat roast lamb or cow, Edgar feels disgusted about how Teres eat the ribs. Teres is the kind of people that like to suck and bite it until the rib doesn't have more meat. He thinks Teres looks like an animal but eventually, he gets used to it.

Teres would try to dance Chamame, Cumbia or Cuarteto with Edgar. It doesn't matter if they look clumsy because Edgar isn't used to it and Teres exaggerate it just to makes it funnier, they enjoy it...that’s all that matters.

When their teams are playing the World Cup, they become pretty competitive and make jokes about the other's team. But once one of them is out, Teres/Edgar would openly support his boyfriend's team.

Edgar doesn't know if he's glad or not about understand Spanish because Teres loves to talks in a double sense just to annoy him.

Star Wars Alien Species - Nautolan

Glee Anselm, an ocean planet located in the Jalor system of the galaxy's Mid Rim, the homeworld of the Anselmi and Nautolan species. Star Tours, a tour company, offered vacation tours of Glee Anselm during the Clone Wars. During the reign of the Galactic Empire, senators representing the planet in the Imperial Senate were fiercely loyal to the Empire.

The society developed by the Nautolans on Glee Anselm was centralized around local families and governments. The centralized government of Glee Anselm was comprised of representatives from the Council of Elders that governed each settlement. Elders were elected on merit, and could be made up of youthful politicians as well as the most aged members of the society. A culture that promoted life-long mates, Nautolan families were characterized by their loyalty between spouses and the equality of the sexes in the household. While arranged marriages were common in their early history, the practice had become uncommon during the Galactic Civil War. No cultural affinity for the Force ever developed on Glee Anselm, though members of the Nautolan species recognized its importance and respected those among them that were Forceful.

The Gynt family was a famous Jedi dynasty of Nautolans prior to the Great Galactic War, with the most renowned of the family being Eison Gynt, the last of the line.

While few Nautolans left Glee Anselm, their music was occasionally found among savvy music collectors. Nautolan music was composed of sustained notes held in irregular patterns with occasional pauses. These pauses were considered the most important part of the music to the Nautolans, causing non-Nautolan listeners to misunderstand their artistic intent.

The Nautolans were known as a peaceful race, and disliked unnecessary violence. However, when forced to fight, they were skilled warriors. They had great respect for what they called the “ocean spirit,” which they believed existed to maintain the balance of nature on Glee Anselm. Nautolan society was prosperous, and they were generous in sharing their resources with others. The species was most comfortable underwater, preferring to be immersed in liquid.

Nautolans lived underwater on their home planet. The first members of their species lived simply in caves, but over thousands of years, their society spread to encompass large areas of the ocean floor. At first, the Nautolans coexisted peacefully with their neighbors, the Anselmi, but after some time the Anselmi grew jealous of the Nautolans and began to threaten them and encroach upon their territory. In response to this, the Queen of the Nautolans warned the Anselmi that their actions would anger the spirit of the ocean. The Anselmi recognized that continuing to threaten the Nautolans could lead to war, and so they moved out of Glee Anselm's ocean and onto a large landmass.

The Nautolans continued to send ambassadors to the Anselmi, warning them against upsetting the balance of nature, but their representatives were consistently sent away. Eventually, the Anselmi's desire to expand led them to build massive dams to hold back the ocean itself. According to Nautolan legend, this angered the ocean spirit so much that it brought down a storm to destroy the Anselmi empire and submerge it beneath the water. The Nautolans mourned that the Anselmi had not listened to their warnings, and continued to live peacefully, keeping in mind the importance of the natural balance.

During and after the era of the Galactic Republic, land-dwelling Anselmi became very hostile towards the Nautolans, referring to them as “gill heads” and swearing that one day they would dominate them.

Nautolans, amphibious, capable of breathing both air and water. They have webbed fingers and toes. They were known to be capable of surviving in extreme environments. Their thick skin could be green, blue, gray, purple, orange, or yellow, covered in dark, mottled spots. Large, black eyes allow them to see well in dim light. Each Nautolan's head is crowned by long, tentaclelike tendrils, which the Nautolan decorates with leather bands, metal rings, or beaded ties.

These tendrils were chemical-sensing, and most notably used to detect pheromones. Nautolans could translate pheromones emitted by other beings into an understanding of a being's emotional state. This can inadvertently affect a Nautolan's disposition- for better or for worse. Nautolans tend to reflect the moods of others around them.

A typical Nautolan stands at 1.8 meters or 5.9 feet tall and weighs 75 kilograms or 165 pounds.

In the Star Wars: The Clone Wars CGI television series, Kit Fisto is shown blinking his eyes, both with expression and as a reflex. This is likely a production error, as Fisto's species was originally thought to have had lidless eyes. However, it can be explained that in the episodes in which he does this as a reflex, his eyes were exposed to atmospheric conditions that were more irritating than usual for his species - such as the fog on Vassek, the world where Grievous' lair was located.

Star Wars Alien Species - Nautolan

Concept art by Dermot Power, implies that in the early stages of development, Nautolans were supposed to be somehow related to Twi'leks.

Nautolan age at the following stages:

1 - 9 Child

10 - 14 Young Adult

15 - 40 Adult

41 - 54 Middle Age

55 - 69 Old

Examples of Names: Hiskar Dorset, Kit Fisto, Ploss Niklos, Renko Losa, Pin Mako, Setel Yast, Zatt, Knox, Sulan, Jak, Fong Do.

Languages: The Nautolan language, Nautila, involved the use of pheromones to communicate. These pheromones could be used to convey complex ideas, including full sentences and map coordinates. Out of water, most Nautolans speak Basic or Anselmian. It was unusual to find a trilingual Nautolan, speaking Nautila, Anselmian, and Basic.

Ok but real talk here, big, important question for everyone:

Why do you like but not reblog?

It feels like the bare minimum in fandom to reblog stuff you like. It’s the easiest way to support artists/writers and guarantee they do more of that same kind of thing.

I thought of some reasons people might not want to reblog and I’m going to debunk them:

Reblog = repost and reposts are evil!!!

Reblogs are different than reposts. As long as the original post came from the artist, the artist gets the credit for it and that’s what they want. REPOSTS are when you find a piece of art you like, save it to your computer, and later make your own post with it, and that’s not cool

Reblogging is too much effort!!

It really, really isn’t. On mobile? Press and hold the reblog button. The post has now been reblogged. On desktop? Hold the alt key and then click the reblog button. Off it goes, letting more people enjoy the beauty of the post you just enjoyed yourself!

I don’t want to tag things though

So then...don’t? Just reblog it with no tags. You want to tag it later, you can. You never want to tag things? Cool, neither do I most times!

I DO want to tag things but I feel like I’m bothering people

I guarantee you, 90% of the time, artists love tags. Even the keyboard smash tags. The ones they don’t love are the ones demanding more art/for the artist to do things in a specific way/to change the art to suit one specific viewer’s preferences.

If I reblog things a lot, it’ll annoy people!

If people are following you, it’s for your content. If it annoys them, they can unfollow you. That’s on them. If you mean it’ll annoy the ARTIST if you go in and reblog their whole art tag...wrong, false, no, definitely not, they might even make more art specifically for you if you do that. Especially if you tag with ‘I love this piece because...’ and then give a reason why you love it, that is the most encouraging thing.

Reblogging doesn’t fit my blog aesthetic.

Idk what to tell you here, you’re in control of your aesthetic. Make a side blog maybe, reblog there and leave your main ‘clean’. Or vice versa. No reblogs = a quickly dwindling supply of art that people are willing to post.

Reblogging is an important part of fandom/tumblr community in general. It encourages more people to make more content which means more things for you to do/see/read.

It’s part of the fandom ecosystem; we have content makers and we have content viewers. Without makers, we have no art. Without viewers, there’s no reason to post it online. If viewers are limited, people start reconsidering whether to bother posting their art online or just share it with their friends they know will give feedback.

Reblogs are how you contribute to the fandom. Try it.

Togruta Marking Headcanons (Evolutionary and Epigenetic)

Okay, so the question is:

Do you think togruta markings are purely genetic or partly genetic and partly influenced by the environment?

e.g. a stressful adolescence leads to more complex markings/breakage

This conversation was had in large part on discord with @atagotiak and @dracothulhu.

Inspired by a plot point in Orphan Black, please consider:

Jango is a chimera (specifically of a pair of fraternal twins, one male and one female), and the Kaminoans just went with it to have a co-ed army because uhhhh why not, mostly.

Weird side-effect is that the clones don't actually look exactly like Jango. Like family, yes, but not Just Like Him.

I don't know where I'm going with this other than "Ahsoka's bisexual awakening" and "the first time a clone gets pregnant because the birth control failed, there are lawsuits from the non-clone parent." Custody stuff, I imagine.

If the non-clone parent wants their kid and has the money, but Kamino insists all products of their product belong to Kamino and/or the GAR, or try to pressure the clone to have an abortion because That's In The Contract or something...

If I wrote it up, it would probably involve a Senator as the other parent and trying to get the pregnant clone transferred to the Corrie Guard where it's "safe" except then the Corrie's keep bringing up their "we get killed by civilians regularly and it gets marked up as property damage, maybe have that addressed before your baby momma gets her ass beat" problem. IDK it would go somewhere dark.

Maybe better to focus on Ahsoka being painfully gay.

A friend asked if Boba would still be a "true" clone, and I don't think so. He'd be a clone of the XY cells, because the Kaminoan's can't actually safely replicate a chimera.

ok as amazing as Twilight of Apprentice was how funny would it have been if Ahsoka was just beyond done with Anakin’s bullshit™ and just screamed “FUCK OFF SKYGUY” everytime she saw Vader

“The man you knew as Anakin Skywalker is de-”

“Cut the shit, Anakin, I know it’s you. You just flew in standing on top of your TIE fighter and there’s only one fucker in the galaxy who’s that extra”
