#human!thrawn

Ok I posted a similar post a while ago but I think there's more people here now so I wanna ask again:

What are your headcanons regarding the ethnicity of Eli?

Obviously it's space so there's not really a wrong answer here. I'm curious! Add your hcs on this post! Honestly add your hcs for Thrawn too! I'll put mine under the cut here

So personally I hc Eli as Indian because I'm projecting and also because there's like almost no Indian rep in star wars. Plus come on he was expected to carry on the family business but then moved away that's classic second gen Indian problems /lh. He's touchy about falling into the Indian + math stereotype probably. He's at least bilingual. He considers himself southern American bc that's where he grew up but is slightly insecure because he was othered in the south as well due to being an immigrant.

As for human!Thrawn I hc as Asian as well, maybe Japanese? Thrawn falls so so much into the whole model minority trope that a lot of Asian Americans have to deal with. He's seen as "one of the good ones," as almost human because of his usefulness. He's expected to also look down on other alien species. His skill and intelligence are chalked up to his alien background. He's exotified almost. He's either an inhuman genius or a savage. Every eccentricity is a result of his alienness, not his personality.

Anyways gimme asian!thrawn this has been my Ted talk

I’ve caught some very strange Halloween vibes and remembered, that Humans are the most dangerous and unpredictable creatures in the GFFA. So, ironically, Thrawn made himself Human for Halloween. Eli didn’t get the irony, but decided to support him… in a way.

PS. Faro is not impressed. At least she tries to look so, but in fact she might be needing to change her pants. We will never know.
