Happy holidays!!
I feel like we need to appreciate Thire more, so this is for you buddy (other commanders are mentioned bc they have to be)
Thire is 9 at the start of the clone wars and quickly rises the ranks
He is very temperamental but has developed a certain patience that makes him seem calm
He is fact not calm and has a short fuse; he just bottles it up and will make your life a living hell through mild annoyances
Think of a robber who steals your tv remotes batteries, except he steals all the batteries in the house and makes buying any more batteries horrible and trying experience
Many GAR commanders are afraid of him and those that aren’t should be
Of the commanders group he is the ‘angry asshole’
Fox is ‘tired/bitch/rude asshole’, thorn is the ‘nice asshole’, hound is ‘obnoxious asshole’, and stone is ‘quiet/creepy (he stares a lot to convey his displeasure) asshole’
Thire is in charge of Senator escorts, specializing with off world missions. He works closest to Thorn who oversees the senate and the least with Stone (oversees the prison)
He has the most contact with the Jedi and somehow became Yoda’s favorite, getting specific requests for him
He has mixed feelings bc Yoda’s not bad company but he’s used as a sort of chair the whole time?
Since he’s the youngest, the others are very protective of him and this does annoy him but he loves with it
Make no mistake, Thire will easily commit murder
Stones face is all kinds of messed up, he’s missing a cheek on his left side exposing the teeth from a mad Trandosian during a riot turned mass escape attempt (they failed)
He keeps his head shaved because of the patchy growth around scars
He’s got so many scratch marks and chunks missing from things like that
This also applies to the rest of the Prison Guard, they are the most scarred group of corries
The prison has ARC troopers on staff constantly to discourage (they have taken down many a prisoner and use unconvential weapons to do it) riots and escapes
Though they rotate, ARC Trooper Whip is the only ARC who is a permanent fixture
Like his name suggests, he uses whips and is *incredibly* skilled with them, they are also electro whips (he can control whether they use electricity or not)
Hound is very bad with people and is the kind of person who can like perfectly understand animals
Thire has a mean streak and finds scaring newbies and visitors incredibly hilarious
His favorite massif is Runt (an exotic breed that’s twice the size of a normal massif (about 6’ standing on his hind legs)) and twwith the handler Trigger (has a height defect, being 2.5 in smaller than standard)
Both are pretty chill and Runt is especially lazy so they are free to get his victims the most
Runt looks scary as his spines are much longer and sharper, with an extra row of teeth and darker skin
This includes using sleeping ARF and massiffs to do so. He did this by getting his victim to wake up an ARF trooper. However, they often sleep with massifs. Often with their spines toward outside for defense and the person against the wall to watch for enemies. If they smell you first, they will bite your hand. So, Thire watches as deep and angry growl comes from the darkness and the shriek that comes from his victim.
Thire has a problem with the CSF often coming in on MP matters or dumping non MP matters onto them
Once a bomb went off incredibly close to 79s, a hole was put in the wall and several were injured. A Guard Clone duo was blasted through the wall and the medics who had been drinking were pulled away into keeping them alive
CSF shows up and is like ‘not important, blah blah’. Everyone is obvi pissed and eventually Thire arrives to deal with it
He just straight up says ‘you’re impeding an military investigation of a terrorist bombing. Move or you will be arrested and criminal charges will be pressed.’
Just a warrior and their massiff scouting the vast desert wastelands of Tatooine.
I think Tumblr ate my ask because I got the "whoops something goofed" notification after I sent it....
ANYWAY
Do loth-cats and massiffs get along with each other? What about loth-cats and banthas?
...you tell me
Wanted to draw some more massiffs and try to get them more show accurate, so here's Pup and Grizzer. I think they're still slightly off model, but I like how they turned out anyway. Precious babies!
I am having thoughts about Corrie Massiffs.
About them being trained as emotional support animals as well as their actual jobs.
About them being long lived (maybe 30-50 year life span) and choosing their corries as their people to protect.
Sensing when their corries need support and helping them though panic attacks and anxiety issues, helping them sleep and guarding them through the night. Helping with their fears and drawing them out of dark spiralling thoughts and having the best hugs.
Thinking about the Corries also being the massiffs emotional support people who do just as much for them, who love them oh so dearly. Who play games with them and always try to get them treats and protect them with everything they have.
Thinking about the way the Massiffs would calm their corries down, little nudges and heads on laps or sitting on them entirely.
Thinking about how neither the corrie nor the massiff like to be apart.
Thinking about about them whining over the bodies of their corries and refusing to move, nudging them desperate for them to wake up. Having to be pulled away and never being the same after.
Thinking about them sitting by the door to the icebox room and refusing to move until their corrie comes back, then following right next to them as they're helped to a space to lie down and curling up with them so their person can take their body heat and feel warm and safe and letting their corries hug tight.
Thinking about the massiffs sitting outside the med bay and just whining and scratching on the door. About Grizzer refusing to move and sounding distressed after Hound was carried in and about Hound finally waking with Grizzer on his lap.
About everything getting all too much all of a sudden for Pup and Bumble pulling him away to get him somewhere quieter and then putting her head in his lap and licking his face and being a warm solid presence for Pup to focus on and calm down and feel safe.
About massiffs knowing their corries are overworking themselves and trying to make them sleep. Of Grizzer knowing it upsets Hound and that Fox is almost his person too so he steals Fox's datapad and leads him to his bed then sits on him. Fox scratches him behinds the ear with a very soft chuckle and admits he could probably do with a few hours.
Grizzer trying to get the smell of Palpatine off of Fox. All the massiffs trying to get the smells of Senators off their corries and take the horrible smell of distress away.
Thinking about no-Order 66 where the massiffs stay with their corries and help them with their recovery post-war and this spreading through the GAR. They get even more training on how to be support animals and they love getting to help and love their people who love them so dearly back.
Thinking about Order-66, and the massiffs not understanding whats happened to their corries. Why they're not them anymore.
About any blackout mission and their corries aren't behaving like their people and they don't smell of anything, not fear not joy not sadness not anything they can usually sense, they can't read any emotion off their corries and they don't know what to do. Trying to get them to react, trying to bring them out of it or simply waiting for them to come back and being worried until they do.
You know, just thinking thoughts...
“My best boy my good pupper, best deputy”- Danica about her massiff, Atticus
Apart from Din's signet, what "spirit animal" do you think he is? Hmm
I'm choosing a Star Wars animal for this and I'm going to say a massiff. Hear me out.
We know Din has a close bond with massiffs based on Chapter 9, and yeah, that's mostly because he's friendly with the Tuskens. However, massiffs have an armored hide. Essentially, they have their own kind of armor, just like him. They were used for tracking—like a bounty hunter, huh?—and as guard dogs—did someone say "experienced muscle?"—which correlates closely to Din's own professions. But we can see that massiffs will get soft with people they trust, just as Din can be.
