#do not

[phi-guy]

after cataloguing a few local vegetables and fruits, you've decided to take a break, and maybe find a hot drink to savor. And what's better than a hot drink poured from a cute bird shaped kettle?

Wanted to try designing some kettles/pots for my setting and got fixed on the idea of these "whistle birds" (maybe named after the sound they make when the water inside is boiling?).

Obviously with varying degrees of artistry, from wealthier styles to more down to earth working class vessels. Even some big carafes or jugs :3

The more finely designed whistlebirds might have shapes or mechanisms that sound like birdsong when pouring out their contents (like those whistles that exist irl).

You know what would be fun? A Goo Baby.

Slime baby Jedi! Cousin to the Gen'Dai!

Just?? She ain't got no booooones. Or muscles! No organs or NOTHIN'! You THINK she does, cause you look at this child and see a physical object, but! Nope! Twas a LIE! Is actually sentient PUDDING pretending to be humanoid! Cause everyone ELSE is, and they want to be polite!

Honestly? They could be a CHAIR if they wanted too. But that makes folks uncomfortable.

Something about the whole "oh little gods! I've LOST THE BABY!!! She was JUST IN HERE! How do you LOSE A BABY IN A LOCKED ROOM!?!?" or something. Very high strung, those officers. She was RIGHT there! Pretending to be a chair. Feeling a bit "chair" shaped, you know? So much YELLING.....

Granted, they can't SENSE her, like other Force Sensitives can... but STILL!

She can't HELP it, okay?! It's this weird "I MUST blend in with my environment. NOTHING can see me! I am INVISIBLE. Or.... something, something, something? Bad or will eat me? Unclear! But Must Camouflage!!!" Instinct.

Look, one of her Creche mate has a bite reflex, her OTHER friend has a "throw themselves into every body of water they lock eyes on" reflex. And SHE? Turns into a potted plant whenever an adult gets within line of sight! She's WORKING on it, okay?? It's apparently just a THING her people go through.

Keeps them from being eaten or captured.

Not that "being eaten" would actually KILL them, mind you. It would just HURT. A LOT. Cause that IS a one way bath straight into acid. Like getting the cheap Sarlacc experience. Cause like? APPARENTLY? Her people are "optimally nutrious" for pretty much ANY given race, digest SUPER slow, and can be eaten and RE-EATEN indefinitely.

All you got to do is just ignore the pesky little "you are horrifically torturing a sentient species" thing. Which, like? *gestures to the galaxy at large*

WHICH! Is why her species don't really do the "findable" thing. ESPECIALLY before they're big enough to digest people BACK. It is weirdly dangerous, being a nigh unkillable goo person. But, hey! At least they don't have the psychosis issues the Gen'dai do?

*hears a noise* !!!?! *immediately turns into potted fern*

*waits until the jedi, who is politely ignoring the Obvious Fern in the middle of the hallway, walks by*

*turns back*

It DOES make certain lightsaber forms easier? But the more rigid "plant yourself and don't move" ones SUPER hard. She am NOODLE. No bones! Can literally flow from one form to the next! (Also hide things SUPER EASY. *pulls her own lightsaber out of her other arm* see‽ :D ) plus? Her "eyes"? PURELY decorative. The things on her "face" don't actually do anything!

Cause again... she is goo.

She can SEE a full 360! Sneaking up on her is literally impossible. Not that she doesn't PRETEND. Cause again... polite. It's MEAN to scare people. And people DO get scared when they realize you are an unkillable, can-eat-ANYTHING, amorphous goo creature! Who can fit through anything short of an air tight seal!

Which is why she's a "nonspecific humanoid" with "possibly togruta ancestry" to account for the non-human skin coloration and sharp SHARP teeth.

I just? Kinda want Master Fay, a fuckin LEGEND, to swan into the temple one day? Like "what's up. You know that one race that's notoriously both hyper skittish and impossibly rare! Near extinct dispite their near indestructible nature, due to the sith? Yeah. Found one. Here's a baby." *makes a peace sign, explains nothing, leaves*

Like??? We haven't SEEN YOU IN 50 YEARS, Master Fay!! We kinda NEED MORE THEN-! DONT YOU GET BACK ON THAT SHIP, Y-! Aaaaaand she's gone. Force damn it. Why is she LIKE this!? *stares down at the "potted plant" quivering in their arms, which had been a startled lil goo baby only seconds before* *sighs*
