lekku headcanons that no one asked for

while asleep/cuddling, lekku will wrap around close partners’/bunkmates’ limbs (most often arms) or, if partners/bunkmates also have lekku, they’ll intertwine around each other

if lonely or stressed, someone’s lekku might curl around their own arms while they sleep

massive faux pas to touch lekku without explicit permission, as this is seen as an extraordinarily intimate gesture - some parts of the lekku are more Off Limits than others, i.e. the underside and close to the base of the skull

especially those two - underside and close to skull - are erogenous zones. no touching without explicit permission, and even then move with care - they are VERY sensitive

…which can also be used for fun :)

massaging lekku is one of the most intimate things one can do for a partner with lekku

on the other end of the spectrum: grabbing and yanking someone’s lekku can cause temporary swelling, hearing loss, and - if pulled very hard/for a prolonged period of time - can lead to permanent brain issues

lekku ‘socks’ (or lekku-warmers) for keeping lekku warm and/or cuddling/napping with a person with whom they don’t feel close enough to literally bare their lekku. good for cuddlepuddles, arguably the entire reason they exist in the first place

the fattier and longer the lekku, the more attractive they are to other twi’leks/togrutas - it’s a status symbol

there are cosmetic procedures to modify both of these

the oldest and most powerful clans have lekku-jewelry version of their clan’s kalikori - elaborate and intricately carved pieces of thinly hammered metal linked together with delicate chains and decorated with precious jewels

some of these are now too long to be worn without dragging onto the floor, and are valuable pieces of twi’lekki history that are stored in safe places across the galaxy in order to keep them safe

some of these kalikori headdresses and lekku jewelry can be seen depicted in ancient art on ryloth, and their physical counterparts still exist!

lekku can be used to stim! swaying, twisting, wrapping together, etc

a person might pull their lekku in front of their shoulders to stroke them for comfort

the sign of an extremely good liar is the ability to keep lekku utterly still during conversations, because otherwise it’s easy to get a general sense of the state of their emotions from how the lekku move

Star Wars Alien Species - Togruta

Togrutas are natives of the planet Shili, a world of dense forests, wild scrublands, and ever-growing urban areas. Shili is located in the Ehosiq Sector within The Expansion Region. The Togruta were discovered by 25,000 BBY. At some point in their history they established a major pacifist colony on the planet Kiros.

Togruta as a whole possessed a special affinity for the Force, though they had slightly less than the normal number of midi-chlorians. It was believed that this affinity was produced from their heightened spatial awareness imparted by their montrals and their role as hunters. Their sense of spiritual connection with the land also heightened their connection with the environment, thus leading to a greater ability to feel the Force. The species had contributed members to the Jedi Order practically since its beginning. A majority of the Togruta species within the Jedi Order were females, though males were not unheard of.

Togruta had a strong sense of unity and togetherness. On their native homeworld of Shili, they relied on each other and would band together to take a stand against the massive monsters that hunted them, such as the akul. It is said that the creatures of Shili most often attacked in groups, which was even more reason for the native Togruta to work together. While most of Shili was covered in the scrublands where the Togruta hunted their herbivorous prey, the Togruta lived in small communities in the forest valleys, where the canopies kept them out of sight.

Togruta were known for their habit of not wearing shoes; they believed that the land was spiritually connected to them, and wearing shoes cut themselves from a bond with the land. In the pack, every able Togruta was expected to contribute his or her own share, as any food attained was distributed equally. Togruta were also known for their belief that those who could not keep up should be left to fend for themselves, because that is nature's way. Other sentient species found this particular belief quite barbaric. Those within a pack who led had a difficult time with fulfilling their goals because of the risk of becoming individualistic. As hunters, the Togruta showed off the pelts and teeth of their game as a sign of pride and maturation. Special pride was taken in the teeth of akul that a Togruta had taken down as an individual. These teeth often were made into jewelry such as an akul-tooth headdress or a necklace, which also incorporated metals, stones, and pearls found on Shili. Other Togruta, such as Shaak Ti, wore the Togruta sash with their Jedi apparel.

Togruta had rusty skin tones ranging in hue from blue to red to green, with white pigmentation on their faces, and greyish lips. While not all had this feature, white stripes also adorned various parts of their bodies, including their chests, legs, backs, arms and montrals, which included the horns to the lower head tails. The pattern of stripes varied from individual to individual. This red and white pattern was a phenotype left over from their ancestor's camouflage that helped them to blend in with their natural surroundings, especially the red-and-white turu-grass which dominated Shili's scrublands.

Their heads bore two, sometimes three horns, with three, and on rare occasions, four big head-tails, whose stripes were darker than those of the montrals. Togruta had the ability to sense the proximity and movement of physical objects around them by means of their hollow montrals, which detected space ultrasonically. Young Togrutas' montrals and posterior head-tail did not fully grow until adolescence, when their montrals became curved and their third head-tail grew to the length of their two main head-tails. As predators, Togruta had sharp canine teeth, which they used to painlessly kill thimiars, their primary prey, causing the creatures' post-mortem death spasms. This gave outsiders the false impression that Togruta were venomous. However, Togrutas did nothing to dispel this misconception and even took advantage of the intimidating presence it gave them.

A typical Togruta stands 1.7 meters or 5.6 feet tall and weighs 75 kilograms or 165 pounds.

Togruta age at the following stages:

1 - 11 Child

12 - 17 Young Adult

18 - 54 Adult

55 - 74 Middle Age

75 - 94 Old

Examples of Names: Ashla, Raana Tey, Codi Ty, Creev Zrgaat, Dyani Zaan, Jir Taalan, Qusak Laal, Shaak Ti, Vika Saaris, Ahsoka Tano.

Languages: Togrutas are taught their Species language of Togruti, and most later learn Basic. Togruti was an ornate language using trills and long vowel sounds, which were modified by subtle tremors in the Togruta's head-tails. This language was heavily influenced by Basic, but also incorporated some native idioms, which caused Basic-speaking Togruta to use strange expressions.

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.

The Martez sisters as togrutas

aaaaaaaannnnnd she's upgraded!!! don't mind the headpiece i was really lazy and forgot that that was actually the outline lol. Still trying to find a good style to make her eyes less creepy butt we vibin. I've decided to name her Ranakga, from the Indonesian words "Anak surga" which means "Heaven's child" (I used google translate sorry if this is completely incorrect lol). Uhhhh, ya I might work on her later but this is pretty much it lol.

My First Post! She isn’t the best but I like her. Tell me what you think her backstory is!

An

Obsession

My First Post! She isn’t the best but I like her. Tell me what you think her backstory is!

Here's another Virburu playlist but instead of vibes like the other this one is a more cohesive story of events.

🌿Virburu Doxac🌿

The songs and their meanings:

My Way - To her parents who were a bit incessant about her staying home and becoming a healer or something important to the tribe. Argument ensues and she flees home to become a scientist.

Work Bitch - What she would say to her colleagues after rising to the top and has to clean up their ubsubstancial messes.

Retire(Final) - The whimsy she feels seeing the Jedi Temple for the first time.

Love Letters From The Sea to The Shore, Superseded, Brother Louie - Her thinking Kitterine was pretty upon meeting her and then realizing she likes/loves her.

Oh No :: He Said What, PREDATOR - Being unwillingly thrown into battle with Kitterine on a mission and absolutely killing it with just a wooden makeshift spear.

Kiss Me, Kiss Her You Fool, After Midnight - Confession of feelings to Kitterine + first kiss?

Freeze Me - Order 66 happens.

Out of Touch, Your Hero Is Not Dead, still feel., Burn, Graveyard Shift - The aftermath of Order 66. She quits her job and is exhaustedly searching for Kitterine not knowing if she is dead or not and feeling guilty for not being there when she needed her.

Is It Really You?, Every Kind Of Way, Bloom - Bonus Track - Finding Kitterine and being an absolute crying mess and just holding her so tight, whispering words and proclamations of love.

Ur So Pretty, Valkyrie, All Night Long(All Night) - Kitterine.

My friend and I had a conversation at work about Virburu and her self-insert who's a Miraluka named Cerri and it was mainly Cerri making a point which I thought was pretty funny.

-

Cerri: I've seen some Togruta who have dialed it down. But this bitch...

The camera pans over to Virburu with her sharp teeth and "claws"

Virburu: *Doing this pose*

Here have the sketch and flat colored version of my self-insert Virburu Doxac.

Here are some fun tidbits

She has 2 mal'lekku instead of one. While it's not a common thing according to lore, it still happens sometimes, and I thought the representation would be nice

Her role in Star Wars would be an environmental scientist cause I just thought that role itself would be fun to put in the universe just for funsies

She has like those small Benjamin Franklin glasses that don't have the legs and are instead attached to a glasses chain that has small bones, pearls, and gems adorning it and the glasses just sit on the bridge of her nose, but they're only for reading (See pictures below)

She's 5'8" (Yes feel free to do height charts I love those 🥰)

She ALWAYS has no shoes on. Like the dogs are always out! It makes her feel more connected to the planet she's visiting. Although some do require shoes for safety reasons

She's in a very loving relationship with a friend of mine's self-insert

Designing her, especially deciding her facial markings, has been quite the trial, but I think I like where it ended up. For any of those wondering what her outfit would be like...

been obsessed with togruta designes and added a few things of my own for some

(i suck at drawing faces so some are scratched out)

Doodle oc togruta girl. I love this species from Star Wars so much.

Hey, what’s up?

A trio of strong ladies from Star Wars.

more togruta variants :) inspired by pachyrhinosaurus and triceratops respectively
