5, 33, 44 for the pairing of your choice?

obligatory otp asks

thanks for sending this in! :o gonna do this for Drelan and ALIS.

(they aren't a romantic pair, but i thought that these specific questions were cute and fluffy enough for the relationship between father/droid child :D )

05. Describe their cozy night in.

So the way ALIS learns is by watching things, such as silly sitcoms on the holo. But for the first time they had to learn something, Drelan plugged ALIS into the holonet, where she promptly got sick with a virus and started getting a fever (overheating) from trying to combat the virus.

Drelan promptly sent her to take a nap (sleep mode) so he could quarantine the virus and deal with it. After that incident, ALIS learned by watching the news and whatever silly sitcom Drelan was into at the time.

Their cozy night in involves Drelan sitting in his bathtub with a face mask, ALIS sitting in her oil bath, just going all out spa night, while watching whatever silly sitcom Drelan's into at the time.

33. Who’s the better cook?

Despite ALIS' large compendium of recipes in their databank, Drelan's a better cook. ALIS has no sense of what 'medium heat' is, since Drelan's cheap stove fluctuates all the time, and has observed that Drelan's technique seems to change every time, despite whatever dish he's making.

Drelan makes food with love and heart and soul. Plus, ALIS can't eat.

44. Who would dance in the kitchen making dinner? Would the other join in or watch from the doorway?

Drelan is so full of life and love and the love of life, he's definitely dancing and singing as he's making dinner. ALIS will help prep food, though she doesn't dance. Still, they're very good at julienning whatever root vegetable Drelan's adding to the dish.

it’s 1am and i’m doodling when i should have gone to bed like an hour ago

anyway have a drelan who doesn’t want to say “that’s not how you fix a droid but go off i guess????” out loud

and instead conveys his feelings through ridiculously transparent facial expressions so that you can see “that’s not how you fix a droid but go off i guess????” on his face but you don’t actually hear it from him.

doodle of my very first star wars oc, drelan opsci. nautolan greasemonkey, hyperfixation on droids, could probably use a sandwich. 

originally the tub was bigger and then i shrunk it and only after i saved it  i realized that there’s no fucking way his right foot would be crammed in there like that but OH WELL i just needed to do something silly :T if i do a slightly more refined sketch at a later date i’ll fix it.

also can someone buy this man a proper tub because i’m pretty sure this one is gonna give him back pain from being so fucking tiny. it’s not a soaking tub. which is pretty much required for easily dry nautolan skin on the galaxy’s smelliest hutt moon, right?

Things on OC instagram/social media accounts bc why not

(It’s bc I was listening to my sib talk about this one wannabe “socialite” who basically scammed everyone and their mother, but it got me thinking about instagram anyway???)

Also this got SUPER LONG so I’m throwing it under a cut. OCs included in this post:

Azukni, mention of her kids, her giant pet bird Lt. Green has his own social media account, her brother doesn’t really. Rakheshi, Xyraan, Fauli, Arif, Nalakii, Slovir, Lei’ti, Drelan, his AI child ALIS, Howlite, Davi, Wanwo, Ying Zii, Kara Wren.

Kara definitely runs warriormando.

Azukni - nearly entirely motivational quotes, along with family photos. She’s one of those Instagram mommies who puts her kids in super cute outfits and gets pictures of them grinning and laughing, and eventually she gets enough followers where she’s instafamous enough to get sponsorships from companies who want to sell their kids’ fashion line.

(bonus: her kids go on space neopets. Elanii is somehow ridiculously competitive about it, but Kadryd is just there to get infinite omelette and jelly and play mini games.)

Lt. Green - has already had a space twitter account in the past, when I still used twitter to any extent. Content wise, it reads something like probirdrights and hungry_birds back when it was nothing but unintelligible keysmashing. Which means ridiculous and without any sense of grammar or spelling.

Coshbyss - has made one (1) on his twitter account that hasn’t been active for years at this point. It’s hard to tell why it hasn’t been deactivated/labelled inactive at this point, and it’s very likely he lost the password too.

Rakheshi - runs a tumblr blog that’s JUST horrid puns and dad jokes all the time. Most of the time he creates his jokes + stories, he does reblog a lot of dad puns + dad jokes as well, and he has definitely made posts that generally started out with, “back in my day...” But he uses it to like. Not berate the younger generations, but serve as a warning? Like a “learn from my mistakes” sort of thing.

Xyraan - instafamous fashionista, model, socialite. Has ridiculously perfect photos all the time. Does she even have a bad angle? (The answer is no.) Photos include lots of outfits of the day, even if it’s definitely far too extra to be considered everyday wear, perfect matte nails holding something expensive, gifts that she’s gotten, selfies with friends that are ALSO perfect. Occasionally has a selfie with whoever she’s seeing at the moment. Maybe a few make up vids.

Fauli - don’t really talk about her anymore but she definitely has something (maybe twitter?) where she posts pics of her adorable service exoboar and occasionally mental health PSAs from the POV of a doctor. Actually, I think she’d have a youtube account.

Arif - doesn’t have one, or if he does, he doesn’t post on it and it’s probably one of those accounts that are barely active enough to be considered an active account, and no one can trace where it was sent from.

Nalakii - I... can’t imagine her having any sort of social media. Maybe she collects receipts for call outs on other Sith, but she would do so very privately so she can prove it without a doubt that Lord Whats-Their-Face isn’t actually working for the Empire. Or something like that. Anything that would help crumble whatever system exists.

Slovir - Also one of the toons I can’t imagine having a social media account. Or maybe he’s got this obscure myspace account that he hasn’t touched in forever.

Lei’ti - Space twitter, social activism based. Might have a youtube and have mini-lectures about activism as well.

Drelan - Github account where he helps people with their coding and also uploads tutorials in the most popular coding languages that exist in Star Wars. Is actually really good at teaching too, cuz he’s used to explaining things in layman’s terms. Probably fairly well known when it comes to the techie/coding side of the galaxy, but otherwise... Who’s Drelan????

ALIS - is a more sophisticated version of aiweirdness - aka that blog that gets an AI to name things like guinea pigs, paint colors, etc. Is actually run by an AI.

Howlite - Youtube chef. Channel consists solely of cooking foodporn and reviews on certain food brands, kitchen utensils, appliances. Specializes in Chiss fusion food. I’m kind of imagining it like those Korean food fusion trucks, except more refined since he works for himself and doesn’t run a food truck. But lots of spicy fusion foods :D

Davi - Also has an instagram account, though this one is less lux and more neon and outlandish. Definitely not sophisticated/elegant compared to their best fwb Xyraan. Probably has two accounts - a personal and a work one.

Personal one has lots of clubbing pix and videos, selfies with the bartenders at the bar they always go to (loud, proud, get used to it). Occasionally has pix of fistfight aftermath. Definitely uses lots of capslock in their captions and way too many hashtags.

Work one is their informal portfolio - pix of their work after they finish a piece, also designs for clients who want a very specific tattoo, etc.

Wanwo - Twitter account where he just liveblogs his life pretty much. He does use discretion when it comes to more classified things - eg most of his time as Outlander. Definitely takes pix of when he goes camping with friends and/or family, and honestly, those pix are so aesthetically pleasing, it’d make my city-born-and-raised ass want to camp.

Ying Zii - He might be a photographer as a hobby, now I think about it? And would focus on nature based photos - capturing moments that are otherwise unseen or unnoticed or that pass by too quickly.

Kara Wren - Definitely runs the warriormando blog on space tumblr. The grammar structures they use would definitely sound better in Mando’a, but the point isn’t the grammar structures but the message. Whether they run the blog seriously or ironically, is not clear. Probably a mix of both.

Otherwise, they’d maybe run a camping/nature aesthetic blog/instagram.

@tinybuggy replied to your photo: “doodle of my very first star wars oc, drelan opsci. nautolan...”:

Who is he? Tell me everything about him :)

oh boy i hope this doesn’t get too long lol.

he was originally a TCW era OC, since I started watching TCW at the time. I think I created him in like... 2011? 2012? something like that. 

His basic story starts out with he was born and raised on glee anslem. He’s always been interested in droids, from the hardware to the software, the code, how droids interface with the information they’re given, what sort of storage they have, etc. Eventually, he decides to move off glee anselm and go to Coruscant, since that’s where business would be best. (for swtor era, Coruscant may be changed out for another city planet, preferably republic space because he doesn’t want to deal with xenophobia or hutts.)

Thing is, he doesn’t have the money to get to Coruscant. He only has enough to set up shop in Hutt space, specifically, Nar Shaddaa. (Did you know that tickets from Glee Anselm to Nar Shaddaa are cheaper than tickets from Glee Anselm to Coruscant? He sure didn’t. Plus, he probably couldn’t afford the rent on Coruscant, anyway.)

So he sets up shop on Nar Shaddaa, in one of the poorest sectors cuz that’s all he can afford: the Duros Sector. He manages to rent out a tiny apartment that has a storefront on the ground floor (tiny as in tinier-than-manhattan apartment tiny), and so that’s where he ends up setting up shop.

Thing is, very few people in the Duros Sector have use for a droid, or don’t have the credits for it. However, they do have speeders, so Drelan reluctantly picks up on how to make or fix up speeders so that he can afford to keep the shop open. For the most part, the gangs in the area don’t hassle him and even give him the revenue he needs to afford rent. Since he’s the best mechanic in the sector, a lot of people will take their souped up speeders and the rides that are held together with duct tape. (no one tells him he should charge more though.) 

The entire time, he’s been working on a droid he’d consider his magnum opus. ALIS (pronounced alice) is a humanoid replica droid that he’s programmed from scratch. (fun fact: alis was originally created for.... some other project? that i can’t really remember anymore. original world sort of project.) 

There wasn’t much of a goal he had in mind when creating them (he originally would use she/her/hers pronouns, after some time learning by themself ALIS decided to use they/them/their pronouns). It was more for the joy of creating and constantly improving what he’s learned. Still, he did what he could to perfect AI tech without having to resort to not wiping their memory every few years. Anyway, he sort of takes on the father figure between the two of them. 

He also gives them tools to learn and discover as well, including free range to the holonet. Big mistake. They came down with some pretty bad viruses afterwards. Y’know, stomach bugs, overheating and feverish components, sluggish energy, backed up systems... the usual. (and yes, the virus and that entire sentence is a pun on actual human sicknesses.) Also, Drelan did have to purge Space Urban Dictionary from their memory. Alis could learn about swear words the regular way.

... Anyway, it’s sort of at this point where the story become Alis’ story rather than Drelan’s. I also doubt that he’ll ever really be able to move off of Nar Shaddaa, he doesn’t ever really have the budget for it, so he just sort of becomes a resident there... kinda like a NPC for main characters to interact with. :’)

p.s. here’s alis’ tag on the art blarg. their look more or less stays the same from the original universe to star wars, though i haven’t revisited their design in quite some time.

[oolathurman]

1-12 for your toons! :D

oc rivals ask meme

ahhh ty for sending a bunch in!!! <3 here we go :o

For each first mention of an OC, I’ll add their tag so that it’s easy to check out their stuff~ My main OC page is here, though it’s still undergoing renovations as I very slowly but surely add everyone’s profile images :’D

#long post ahoy!

Meanest VS Kindest

Meanest: Out of the living ones, Nalakii or Ming Long. Nalakii is intentionally mean for legitimate reasons, but Ming Long (one of maybe... two? movie era OCs I have?) is mean for stupid reasons or out of ignorance. If you include the dead one, then Xyrus is like. literally the most evil OC I have. Luckily he’s dead. (I don’t actually think I’ll talk about him for the rest of this meme just cuz like. He’s the Worst TM)

Kindest: Azukni. Undoubtedly, Azukni. She’s the mom friend and she is the best mom friend. She will research to the ends of the earth to make sure you get your vitamins, your sleep, your meds, and considering she’s like, a certified metal health therapist? She can make sure your mental health is good too. She also will cook for you (even if she isn’t the best) if you’re sick.

Tallest VS Shortest

Tallest: At one point, this might have been a tie between Coshbyss (6′3″) and Xyraan (6′1″), the latter who is almost always wearing heels that are at least 4″ tall. But now? Sorry you two, Tallest goes to Wanwo, who is literally so tall that he didn’t fit completely on screen in a cut scene at one point.

Shortest: Lei’ti and Athenyia are 5′2″ and 5′1″ respectively! I had forgotten that Athenyia was so short tbh until I checked out the heights I have listed on my page lmao.

Most humble VS Most arrogant

Humble: Well, this is where it gets hard. I have a number of OCs who are pretty self deprecating to the point of verbally hurting themselves? Though I don’t think that counts as humility. Either way, I think the winner of this category goes to either Coshbyss or his sister Azukni. Coshbyss is the self-deprecating one, but Azukni at least seems to recognize enough of her own self worth to not be verbally hurting themselves all the time.

Arrogant: If I hadn’t already said that I wasn’t going to count Xyrus, he’d be the most arrogant one. Arrogance, I personally define as “putting more worth in yourself, and bragging about it, than what actually exists.” A lot of my OCs act arrogant, but know their limits. Wanwo, Davi, Rakheshi, even Azukni’s daughter Elanii to name a few. Still, if I were to point out another arrogant character, it might fall to Nalakii. She’s the one where you kind of need to actually beat her in something before she believes she isn’t strong enough for said something.

Coldest VS Most emotional

Coldest: Xyrus again lbr Uhhhhh that category belongs either to Arif or Alis. As a spy character, Arif is definitely trained to not become too emotionally attached to whoever or whatever task is set before him. Alis, a literal robot, wasn’t programmed to have any sort of emotion based modules at first, though later they sort of learn what it’s like to express or show appreciation, at the very least, to their father figure creator Drelan.

Most emotional: ngl a lot of my characters are very emotional, and always express it. :’D Ummm, hmm. If we’re judging emotion based on how immediately someone explodes? Probably Wanwo. That’s what happens when you’re forced to be Sith as an alien in the Empire I guess???? :’D

Most chaste VS Most lustful

Most chaste: Here comes another movie-era OC! Roskah, whose FC was Donnie Yen before Donnie Yen was cast as Chirrut, is Super Fucking Asexual. Asexual, Aromantic, Sex-repulsed, everything. They just focus on making their lightsabers in peace lmao. 

Most lustful: Probably Xyraan this time! Davi might’ve tied with her at one point, but ever since Davi decided to become a full-time tattoo artist and ever since Xyraan decided to do her modelling/socialite-ing/sugaring full time, Xyraan wins this round. Her Sith!AU version has literally fucked her way up the Imperial Social Ladder, while her usual version still fucks her way up the social ladder, just not as aggressively. Well, constantly. If you’re into aggressive, she’ll do that, if you give her enough reason to. (Reasons, in this case, being social status, money, and clothes. :’D)

Most serious VS Silliest

Most serious: Probably Alis? They do slowly go from “complete stoic robot” to a sort of Captain Holt style “complete stoic robot that is sarcastic.”

Silliest: Rakheshi, undoubtedly. Even when he was Sith, he’d constantly be joking around to make himself seem like less of an important target in the Sith Empire. And then don’t even get me started on those dad jokes. Good fucking lord.

“Sleep is for the weak!” VS “Sleep for a week”

Sleep is for the weak: Davi Mingxin

Sleep for a week: Davi Mingxin

Listen, Davi is the person who will over exert themselves ten times over before crashing and not waking up for 72hrs straight. :’D Just in general, they’re usually a very extreme person lmao.

Happiest VS Saddest

Happiest: Azukni! Coshbyss’ sister!

Saddest: Coshbyss! Azukni’s brother!

This one’s interesting, bc it kind of shows the dynamic of how two similar characters can be completely different if you put them in different settings. I have no doubt that Azukni would be my saddest character if she were put in Coshbyss’ place, but she wasn’t. She was fortunate to have lived in a part of the galaxy where she’s accepted for the horns that crown her head, the tattoos that adorn her skin. Coshbyss wasn’t, though he remembers what that was like.

Darkest backstory VS Lightest Backstory

Darkest: Excluding Xyrus (again), it’d still have to be one of my Siths’ backstories. Though Rakheshi grew up in the Empire, Wanwo and Coshbyss didn’t. The two latter ones remember what not being discriminated as an alien was like. At least Wanwo remembered his sibling’s name though. Coshbyss didn’t, couldn’t, after being thrown into hard manual labor and various other tasks that was no good to his sense of self worth or his memory of Azukni’s name. I guess this might go to Coshbyss again, then.

Lightest: It’d probably fall to Davi or Drelan or maybe even Azukni this time. Davi honestly just wanted to get off Zeltros, same with Drelan with Glee Anselm. But Azukni is generally the happiest, and maintains that happiness, and is also a much more complex character than Davi “Hey let’s get smashed and have a three-way with the future Wrath because he has a big dick” Mingxin

Biggest eater VS Lightest eater

Biggest eater: Davi probably, again. They like indulging and frankly, with all the back alley fist fights and bar fights and everything else they purposely fight, they can keep all the weight off. Helps that they have that Zeltron liver for all the alcohol consumption.

Lightest eater: Considering she’s the most traditional Jedi I have, probably Azukni. It’s not that Jedi don’t put flavor in their food, but she was still brought up to eat fairly lean foods that suits her dietary requirements as a Zabrak. 

Most ticklish VS Cruelest tickler

Most ticklish: This will be someone I have yet to mention, but it’s prolly going to be doctor Fauli! She’s a chiss who, though grew up in the Ascendancy, was handed off to the Empire partially because they didn’t want to deal with her anymore. (She’s far too emotional and cheery to act like a normal Chiss. Why would anyone want to deal her? Though it looks like the Empire could use some help taking care of their Chiss allies stationed in their part of space... Maybe we can dump her into their very capable hands.)

Cruelest tickler: This will be someone I haven’t mentioned as well, and it’s Howlite! Howlite’s a Chiss dude who grew up in the Republic for various reasons. He’s hella fucking bad at expressing affection but apparently, tickling is one way he’ll do that. Maybe he likes teasing his loved ones????

Brainiest VS Brawniest

Brainiest: Well, this depends on your definition of brainy. Book smarts would definitely fall to Azukni, even if she has ADHD worse than I do. She’s both got attention deficit and hyperactive disorder, but she absolutely loves to learn. When she can manage, she’ll happily sit in a sunny corner and read for the entire day. And probably forget to eat because it’s such a good read! Lei, I’m learning about the history of the Jedi, it’s interest- babe, don’t laugh at me! Learning’s fun-- hey!

Brawniest: If we’re talking about pure, physical strength, probably Wanwo. He’s built like a strongman and with the Force, could probably pull more than twice his (and Vette’s and Theron’s) weight. Kara Wren, another Togruta of mine, is probably a more capable fighter though, since they grew up with Mandalorian training and later went to the Jedi to learn to channel their powers better. Davi, however, is always the most ready to fight. That includes battling with tongues for dominance. :’D
