A moment to appreciate my sketch vs final 🩵

[shiny-limes]

every year the Ides of March feels like a fun little meme, but this year it actually feels more like trying to cast a spell

[shiny-limes]

Couldn’t sleep and didn’t wanna be productive soooooo….. these guys

Happy Ides of March!!!!

🔪🤴🗡

This is a WIP but a friend told me to mark the day with what I’ve got. So. BEHOLD! My stuff.

Tumblr is very unfriendly to horizontal art so I suggest you to click on it to see everyone 💖

The finished version next time…

Togruta Montrals are Ossicones

fight me on this~

I have thought about this before, I just happened to do extra thinking today! (I blame @sildae)

There are these two pics of their “skeletons”.

In the second one, you can clearly see the horn-like protrusions from the togruta’s cranium. For the one with Ahsoka where it looks like her montrals are jello…. I figure it was due to art style… or…

Maybe like baby giraffes, young togrutas don’t have solidified montal bones? (that’s a thing now. montal bones lol)

And then you have the adults like:

One of the things that kinda defines an ossicone is that they have skin (and hair) growing on top of them. And every togruta that’s been shown does have skin over their montrals. Their lekku, IMHO, are basically fat deposits.

So you have ossicones on top and sacs of fat dangling below. This (to me) explains the “crease” we saw a lot during TCW show.

Which is oddly absent from SWR…

I’ve pretty much hand-waved that off to “artistic style” which is whatever and fine lol.

I think it’s kinda similar in SWTOR:

But it’s not completely smoothed out.

ANYWAY~

Togruta montrals are hollow ossicones that help with passive echolocation. They have a thin layer of skin over their montrals that extend downward and form the fat deposits known as ‘lekku’. The markings on the montral and lekku were originally a form of deterrence to the akul, the main predator on their home world of Shili. The bright contrasting colors and patterns would act doubly as a form of illusion, making them appear bigger than they are, as well as a warning. (I’m big AND I taste bad)

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

stuff they actually let happen on Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Godzilla tried to eat Chancellor Palpatine

Darth Maul came back from the dead as a crime boss with robot legs and had a giant angry brother named Savage

Jabba the Hutt’s uncle was an offensive gay stereotype

Palpatine had a gigantic forehead for literally no reason

Zombie episode

They named a Jedi “I’m Gonna Die” and then killed him

Some senator had a sex robot

All the Twi’leks had French accents

Ahsoka got hunted for sport

Anakin had to do elaborate BDSM roleplay with an evil cat lady

Dooku was almost murdered by the Macbeth witches

Hondo Ohnaka

Yoda made contact with Qui-Gon Jinn’s ghost but the other Jedi just thought he had dementia

0.07 seconds after leaving the Jedi Order, Ahsoka crashed her motorcycle, got a girlfriend, and ended up smuggling drugs for the mob

Anakin and Obi-Wan met the physical incarnations of the Dark and Light Sides of the Force and they looked like a goth drama queen and his cottagecore sister and both of them were furries

Ahsoka got bit by an evil rat which made her evil for awhile

Jar Jar killed a guy

downsides of being super ill for a few days are being ill, plus sides are i finally sat down and watched the 2003 clone wars cartoon!

(commission info // tip jar!)

Crack AU where Anakin can all of a sudden hear the background music that we all hear. Those pleasant chats with Palpy become a lot more ominous. Though Anakin admits that the fights have become a lot more epic. Thoughts?

Hahahahaha. Love it!

And okay, my first though was “and the galaxy was saved because even Anakin Skywalker would struggle to keep trusting Palpatine with that music playing in the background”

Anakin think he’s gone COMPLETELY insane (maybe he’s finally been electrocuted too many times and its fried his brain). He doesn’t tell anyone though because he can still fight just fine just… everything is a lot more musical. He doesn’t want to be thought crazy and taken off the front lines.

Once he figures out what the various musical cues mean he actually finds them useful in figuring out how dangerous a situation is. Also battles are so much cooler now and boring landscapes are slightly less boring because at least now they have mood music. Yep, he can live with this.

(Although he is always confused why the ominousness that is The Imperial March starts playing at some of his decisions)

ALICENT HIGHTOWER and RHAENYRA TARGARYEN HOUSE OF THE DRAGON — S2E8: The Queen Who Ever Was

[shiny-limes]

also love the fact that the writers made it clear that aemond now realizes that his story of claiming vhagar doesn't make him the special snowflake targaryen of the world like he thinks it did. you know that he's been thinking for years that he has some prophesied greatness for being able to claim a big war dragon on his own and has been using that to inflate his own ego. and then here comes addam, some lowborn boat man who was hand-picked by a war dragon, and now there's another random guy flying over the castle on a dragon. literally everyone gets a dragon you get a dragon i get a dragon the silversmith down the street gets a dragon. and you know that's going to drive aemond NUTS

it makes me literally sick to think about alicent's relationship to her children. like. they are all she has. she loves them more than anything and hates them just as much. each of them is a shackle around her neck. they are her babies even though she was a baby herself, forced to be their mother. she'll pick up a knife for them. they are her living prison. everything she ever does is for them. their very existence makes her sick. she understands them and yet doesn't know them at all. they are her future. they stole her past.

she was 15 years old tethered to a rotting body of a man entirely against her will, watching each of her children invade her body as a result of martial rape. how were they ever supposed to have a normal relationship!!!!!!!
