I come to the Star Wars fanfiction writers and afficionados once more to ask an important question - do you think before going off world for the first time, people and babies might require some sort of vaccinations? Like ik clones were vaccinated for lots of common things that would tank their efficiency on the battlefield, but do you think there was a general vaccination list needed to complete before traveling the galaxy, like how in the real world certain vaccinations are needed to go to a certain place?
Any thoughts or data you have collected that I might ponder? 👀

The panic that built in her chest didn't leave as she opened her eyes and sat up quickly, breath stolen in small whimpers as her arms tried to wrap around herself in a self soothing gesture. The pain felt so real, the cold metal wrapped around her a distant feeling now but still fresh in her mind. She rubbed at the bruises she expected to be blooming against her wrists.
So I may have given into the little voice that told me to write for Marvel and I started with rewriting a nightmare scene to get into the rhythm of writing for a different fandom.
and then fell headfirst and wrote 10k words in a few hours

Fives frowned and gave the Sniper a judgemental once over, "Hmm... a tall, scrawny clone who enunciates every word and suffers from chronic 'head stuck up his sarlacc pit' syndrome - you must be Crosshair. I've heard so much about you."
(this is after Crosshair vividly displayed symptoms of the 'head up his sarlacc pit' syndrome not two seconds before...... Don't worry, Fives ain't no bully, Crosshair is just a bitch upon first encounter, but he grows on you, like a blood-sucking parasite 😅)

Togruta babies are called Cubs (because I think is a cute word and bc they are aliens after all. Also it translate well to my native language, so when I say Cub I thinking of the word "Filhote" and I'm well aware I probably mixing up translations here).
They live in small groups up to 500 members (but rarely more than that).
Note: I'm saying "small" because our smallest towns have 5.000 member's, but ancient Togruta lived in actual small groups with 50 members or less.
Togruta can grow anxious if they don't have a community around them. Their species were made to live in groups.
Togruta's Montrals are capable of hearing frequencies up to 200000 hz (similar to tigers and bats) and are able of echolocate close objects.
They also have powerful noses and can recognize people from their smell.
Their eyes have a peripheral vision of 200°, that combined with their hearing and flair make them the most powerful predator in Shili.
A adult Togruta eats about 1,5kg of meat every day. Ofc there's alternatives such a rations bars that can lower that amount, but considering they feeding exclusive with meat that's the right amount to maintain themselves health.
Togruta are strict carnivorous (this cannon, but I just want to reassure the idea)
The average height is 1,9 meters for Female and 2,5 meters for Males, counting with their Montrals.
Togruta can easily live up to 90 years, some even got to 120, but they rarely live much more than that. It's a little longer than most humans, but they don't come near Mirialan's lifespan of 250 years or Yoda species that basically turn into living fossils.
Males tend to have longer Montrals while Females have longer Lekkus.
They share 80% of their DNA with Akul (similar with how humans share 90% of our DNA with chimpanzee) what suggest they had a common ancestor.
Their vocal cords can mimic sounds to attract their prey and avert other predators (such as the Akul). Trogruta Cubs were specially good at this and it's not rare see them trying to imitate sounds they find curious or funny. This also means they were very talkative, if a Togruta Cubs is quiet something is terrible wrong.
Because of this trait Togruta are one off the few species capable of learning how to speak Ithorese and Shyriiwook, although their accent is told to be sloppy and child-like.
The muscles on their legs are the strongest on all their body. They were originally a migratory species, so they needed the extra force and speed.
Their gestation period is around 7 months, a little shorter than humans. But their Cubs grow faster and usually start walking around their five mouth after they were born. They development that trait so neither the mother or the Cub stays vulnerable for long.
Togruta skin color have multiple variations, but the more common are: Orange, purple, yellow and dark blue. This colors also appear on the stripes of their Montrals and Lekkus. The flash color scheme serve two purposes: It warn their predators they are a thread (like some snakes do, the vibrant colors usually scares predators away) and it's also a sign of their health.
Health togruta have stronger colors, the more vibrant their color are the more attract they were consider to be.
Togruta are usually monogamous and tend to spend their whole life with a single partner. This whoever is changing due cultural facts, current is not expected to a individual to stick to a single partner but it's a constant event on their community.
Hybrids between other species are rare, however it's uncertain if this is due their biology or they general lack of interest of breeding with other species.
Hybrids between Togruta and Twi'Lek were been recorded although their appearance are highly inconsistent. Usually they keep smaller version of the Montrals and their Lekkus are more similar with the Twi'Lek version, thus stopping growing at a certain length.
It's said they can have hybrids with human and humanoids species (such as, idk, Mirialans), but there isn't enough Togruta in the galaxy making out with humans to know exactly what that would look like.
They change the teeth twice during their lives, one time when they still cubs and another once they hit 60 ~ 70 years. This happens so they can maintain strong teeth for all their lives.
Their canine teeth are sharp ass hell, even more so when they are Cubs. This can be a problem because Togruta bite each other as a form of affection. Also it's not uncommon for them to leave bite marks in visible places on their partners. When other sentient species saw that they thought the marks were from fighting, but turns out it's from the opposite of fighting.
(Note: I saw some other writes with similar headcanons, specially in barrissoka fanfic, and it's cute! But I'm going to make a point here that they can easily kill small animals with their bite, so I get kinda nervous when people make Ahsoka bite Barriss's neck with "all her strength" because that would probably be enough to pierce her skin. So only small bites are allowed here, Barriss doesn't need die like that.)
Togruta's Montrals and Lekkus can turn shriveley if they are raised under stressing ambients. (That's why Ahsoka's Lekkus are so short for her age). Headcanon send by @kayberrie
History/Politics/Culinary
As I mentioned the Togruta were originally a migratory species, that means they used to made camps so they could hunt in certain areas and then move to another region once the resorts became scarce. This whoever changed with time as they learned to cycle their prey with the seasons.
This is a vague example, but during spring and summer they hunt Thimiars (a rodent species from Shili) and other small prey, but as the autumn comes they start to hunt bigger prey so they can store the meat for the winter. During the winter itself they fish. Base on that their villagers are usually construed near river and always with around the forest.
Unlike most of sentient life Togruta are against the domestication of animals, so to this day they still hunt for eat, however all the food (with exception of a few ritualistic hunts) are share with the whole village. So if they can't get food for a while they will start prioritize the children and the elderly while their adults focus on solving the problem.
A exception to that is the domestication of Shilidogs, a species of Tooka (relatives to Lothcats) the Togruta adopt as a companion. The Shilidogs keep pests way from the villages and are very good companions for children. Like a real dog.
Togruta development a way to dry the meat with a space salt (that I don't have a name for yet) so they don't have to throw away the rest of their meal.
Also they when they hunt they make sure to use every single part of the animal and are very against wasting food. The feet of the prey usually is transformed into soup (which they feed the babies and the elderly bc they believe it helps their bones to grow stronger), and the organs are smoked and eaten as a delicacy (god, I hope I used that word right).
As for the actual meat, they cook only with salt but don't you dare think it's blend or without taste! Think about a Brazilian barbecue, that's how it's like.
Once their society started to interact with other planets the Togruta became very close with Wookies and Ithorians mainly because of their ability of speaking Ithorese and Shyriiwook, but also because both of these species also live in forests and share similar values towards dealing with nature.
However their relationship with the Ithorians started pretty rough because when the Togruta first meet the species they believe to be prey animals. Which they kinda are... But this is all put in the past once the Jedi came and solve the misunderstanding.
Because of the Ithorians the Togruta learned how to make the own space ships without destroying their forests.
Because the Jedi help with their relationship with the Ithorians the Togruta respect their order very much and begin to send some of their Cubs to become Jedi.
With their population growth they decide to make a new colonie rather than open the forest to expend their villagers, that's how Kiros was born.
The government of Kiros and Shili are very different. The Togruta of Kiros adopt a lot of the republic politics and build their on government in reference, naming a Chanceller of their own and a senator to represent them to other planets.
Kiros also have big cities rather than the small villagers of Shili.
Talking about Shili government, they usually spread around the planet in small villagers led by a elder council. This villagers are independent but usually live with some level of collaboration, trading goods with each other.
Because they need to deal with other species now they do elect a senator and a small government situated in one of the few big cities they have, but Shili's Togruta couldn't care less about politics and usually let their colony on Kiros deal with all the trouble. If you go to a random village in Shili and ask the name of the senator chances are that most of the people will get it wrong.
Because of this trait most sentient species believe Togruta to be less intelligent, but that's not the case, they just have a different approach to politics.
Kiros is considered a mere extension of Shili, and although they have a more development government they still answers to the people of Shili.
Their economy with the republic are based on the commerce of healing herbs that they collect from their forests. They are far from being the richest being of the galaxy, but they gather enough money to buy the essentials for their survive.
Realistic they don't need much of outside resources anyway because the way they live it's pretty minimalist.
I already mentioned a few misunderstanding others species made while meeting Togruta for the first time, and there was a actual debate if Togruta could be considered a sentient species to begin with, but luckily for them both the Wookies and the Ithorians already faced similar problems and were able to help the Togruta introduce themselves properly to the rest of the galaxy.
Culture
As you problem can see, their society are very close to nature and try the best to not break the balance of the chain by hunting more than they need or building house in animals habitats.
They are usually led by their elder and wiser members, regardless of gender.
Both man and woman engage with all types of chores: Hunting, cleaning, taking care of the children, religion rituals, you name it!
I'm not finished writing their religion yet, but the have a vast pantheon of gods for various realms of adoration. Their most important gods are the a representation of the Sun, the Moon and the death, but I'm not going into details because I don't have any yet.
I mentioned that they don't like throwing away the rest of their prey, so they carve idols, toys and jewelry from the bones and make their clothes from the skin/leather.
Ancient Togruta also used bones to make weapons, nowadays this pieces are used in religious rituals.
Speaking of religion rituals, the hunt of Akul is exclusive made for religion purposes and it's considered a crime to kill a Akul without a reason.
The Togruta are very aware they had a common ancestor with the Akul so that's why they respect the animal so much.
When a child is given to the Jedi they first make a celebration with all the members of their village so everyone can say goodbye properly. It's a joy to have one of their own in the Jedi ranks, but it's also sad to some extent because of how close the communities are. That Cub would probably had live their entire life with them and know that they have to go the village take some time to assimilate that. (So yeah, Ahsoka got a little party with mommy and daddy before Plo take her to the Jedi temple).
Raising cubs is seem as a community work, so it's not rare to leave your kids with the neighbors while hunting or working. Usually is some elder man or woman who stays with the cubs since they can't work as well as they once did.
Some parents make straps bandages in their Cubs Montrals so they can grow in certain patterns. This is especially popular among the Togruta from Kiros and it is a mere esthetic proceed. It doesn't hurt the cub because their Montrals still soft.
They made a holiday to celebrate their friendship with the Ithorians! They invite their alien friend for a three day party as a way to say sorry for trying do hunt them down when they first meet. The Ithorians are a strict vegetarian species, so the Togruta gather exotic fruits to give as a present. The Jedi send represents from both species to act as mediators in case of conflict, but ever since they stated their partnership, hundreds of years ago, they never had any conflict ever again. They truly became best buddies! (And I like the idea of having this alien festival between species that are so different. Let me have my exotic aliens!)
They used theatre to record their history, so instead of books they told teach using their plays. Usually they are full of exaggerated acrobat acts and sometimes songs. Yes, they have musicals!
Their musical instruments are also made of bones and they particular found of flutes.
Kiros is specially connect with all forms of art and their government had imported Togruta plays to all around the galaxy. Their acrobats and singers are praise and recognize as one of the best of the republic. But that's actually why the Zygerian were so interesting on making them slaves on that incident on the Clone Wars.
The children games are usually a sort of exercise to teach them how to hunt, so if you go to one the their villages you problem going to see children "hunting" each other, lefting bite marks everywhere and being absolutely chaotic, but this is considered normal so the adults don't really care. Other species say that Togruta Cubs are usually a nightmare to be around. Their best friends (aka the Ithorians) are still scared of their children.
At some point in ancient history Togruta started to cook theirs meals, but they still eat raw meat on some occasions and specific rituals.
Besides the festival with the Ithorians Togruta have a few holidays they celebrate with their village. They really like a party and even the people of Shili have a special love for the art exhibitions they do during theses events.
That's it for now.
Please feel free to use any of these headcanons if you like them. Also I would love to talk more about them, so you can make comments or ask questions if you have any.
Brea and Rex in 'civvies' inspired by @antisocial-mariposa!
I imagine she convinced him to sneak off to Batuu for a day to get away from everything and they're enjoying a bit of ice cream together to beat the heat! She told him he had a bit on his face but it was just an excuse to fluster him > w < ❤️💙❤️💙❤️
Absolutely! Tag me if you do! 🥹🥹 Man I'd completely forgotten about this drawing, I should do it again too, it's been at least three years, he'll definitely have a glow up hehe
going through girl meets world again and seeing the father/daughter relationship between maya and shawn grow is making me cry!!!!
(the daddy issues are getting to me again ;_;)
the way shawn goes clothes shopping with maya and buys her a while new wardrobe or the way maya adorably lightly punches shawn in a way to get him to say his mind.
Shawn being the father to someone that he unfortunately never had is incredible, and even more so because Maya wasn't even his own kid 😭 Shawn always underestimated his capability to love and show love, and I love the future they gave him after so many heart wrenching (but AMAZING) seasons of Boy Meets World
has anyone noticed that the tcw/tbb fandom keeps getting more toxic?
I’m really tired of seeing things about how things “should be”
“I’m so mad Tech should have lived they did him dirty”
“Echo shouldn’t have a real prosthetic”
“Stop whitewashing the clones” (even if they’re a perfectly fine shade)
“Don’t tweak so and so’s design it’s not right”
like can’t we just create things and be nice and go on with our days? Why do the fandom police step in all the time and whack everyone over the head with their idea of how things “should be”?
I hope this post finds the blogs that it needs to because I’m quickly realizing that people are getting a little too uptight about a kids show. And don’t get me wrong, I love it, and all of the same characters that y’all do, but things are getting a little too tense here. Canon happened. Sorry, we can’t change the fact that it did. AU’s where everything is fine? I am all for that. Just please stop complaining about every little thing that doesn’t fit your narrative.
Needed to see this reminder cause sometimes I catch myself be negative when in reality, yeah, it's just a kids show in the grand scheme of things 😬 can't change Canon and well, I can just change things how I want in my fic and go about my day without making a big deal 😭 I'm trying to be better, and even if I didn't like everything, that don't mean the story, animation, and work put into this show was amazing. No need to blatantly spread hate. I can barely even handle one negative comment on my own story, so I applaud the Star Wars writers who have to put up with blatant hate over every new thing they're creating and still want to create more
You’re stuck in a room with the last character in your gallery how safe are you
