Reblogs are very appreciated, since it helps my posts reach more people and motivates me to continue writing 🫶
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
He's surprisingly sweet and soft. Sex with you is the one time when he can fully let himself go and relax. The sweet moment of bliss afterwards, when you're both tired but content, is everything to him. It's the most gentle and emotional you'll ever catch him. He doesn't really care about cleaning up so if you do, you'll have to nudge him a bit, but he's gonna be big on cuddles. He'll bury his face in your neck, breathing in your scent and whispering soft praises. If he ever says the L word, it'll be in that moment.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Now, I don't think he has a favourite part on himself. On you, however? Oh, he's ready to worship all of you. In his eyes you are perfection and there's not a single part of you he doesn't love. Though he's definitly a tits over ass guy, no matter if you're afab or amab.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
He prefers to cum inside you (*cough* breeding kink *cough*) but he'll respect it if you don't want him to. He's just overall messy and kinky, he wants to mark you as his (although this is just a sex thing and in day to day life he's very respectful of your autonomy). I think that's sort of part of his Zabrak instincts. He wants to see you covered in his cum and the bruises he left on you. He becomes bordeline feral when he does get to see it.
He also loves tasting your cum. He might have a tiny bit of an oral fixation stemming from his intense sense of smell and taste. He could die a happy man with his head buried between your thighs.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He often fantasizes about fucking you on the Mandalorian throne with people watching. It's only a fantasy, though, he's too possessive to actually let anyone see you like this. Though the thought of showing everyone who you belong to is tempting.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
I don't think he has much experience before you, if any, considering his life. Not that he'd ever admit it. He does learn fairly quickly tho. And he's very confident despite his lack of experience.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
It might be cliche but one of his favourites is definitly missionary. Simply because he loves seeing your face as you fall apart underneath him. He'll often pin your hands above your head and growl dirty things into your ear, nibbing at it gently. He does also love to pin you to the nearest wall and fuck you senseless, though.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Definitly more serious. Plus a loooot of teasing. But he definitly might let out a chuckle sometimes if the situation provokes it. Sex with you and it's aftermath are the most comfortable he ever feels, being able to turn off his brain for the most part and just be in the moment with you.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
I actually headcanon that male Zabraks don't have hair at all, not just on their heads. Idk if this is canon or not.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
He's not gonna be overly romantic on the outside — unless you ask him to — but he'll definitly be feeling the intimacy. He might have a few moments sometimes when it just hits him, but overall he'll be much more soft and romantic afterwards.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
Before Naboo, pretty rarely. He didn't have enough time and privacy. It was also more about stress relief than pleasure.
Now that he has you, he definitly prefers to just wait for you. If he does do it when you're there, it's mostly with the intent to get caught by you and initiate sex. If you're away, he'll do it if he has a moment alone, but mostly a quick jerk off to relieve the pressure. Unless, of course, he manages to get you on the comm 😏
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Predator/prey, with him as the predator of course. Breeding kink. Hate sex (is that a kink?) Scent kink. Marking kink (is there a name for this?). He just loves leaving bites and hickeys all over you, especially in places where everyone will be able to see them. Also, he's a hard dom. And he might have a bit of a thing for period sex, if you're afab. If you walked around naked and free bleeding, he might just lose his mind. Oh, and he gets turned on by his own anger and jealousy. So uh, if you piss him off/make him jealous on purpose, expect some rough but super satisfying sex later.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
Your bedroom, obviously. The throne of Mandalore (while you're alone, though). He once bent you over the kitchen table and he still remembers how perfect you looked.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
He's very easy to rile up. One of the biggest turn on's is simply your smell. Especially if he smells your arousal. Another is when you tease him in public. You're clearly being very bad and he needs to punish you. And he will. Also when you wear clothes that show your neck/shoulders and the marks he left there? Oh, he's gone.
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
He'd probably not gonna let you dom him like ever. And if he does, it'll be VERY rare, and only if he trusts you completely. He's a brat. If you can tame him, he might just let it happen. And he'll definitly enjoy it. But afterwards, when he comes down from the high, he'll feel extremly exposed. He'll need a lot of aftercare. And he might even withdraw a bit from the relationship afterwards. It'll take a lot to make him comfortable again. Though, if you do it right, he's likely to let you do it again if he's in this specific mood.
The one thing he'd never EVER let happen is anything involving hurting each other in a serious way. He's definitly into some pain play and BDSM but he won't ever hurt you in a permanent way, he's actually deadly terrified of it. And he'd never let you do anything to hurt him either. You're the one person who's touch he doesn't associate with pain and he doesn't want it to change. Also NEVER anything involving sharing you.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
He definitly prefers giving. That man is a gentleman, Idc what you say.
When it comes to giving, his tounge is a bit rougher than that of a human so expect some heaven. Like I said, he has no experience before you but he is a fast learner and he cares about bringing you pleasure more than he cares about his own. It's the one time he'll kneel for you. And if you grab onto he's horns while he eats you out/sucks you off? Oh, man, he's a goner.
When you're the one giving him pleasure, he'll be a mix of soft and rough. At first he'll be very careful as to not hurt you, his hips bucking just a bit involuntarily, but give any indication that you're fine taking it rough and he'll start properly fucking your face, grabbing your hair (if you have it) to help himself guide you.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
He can be slow and sensual sometimes, if that's what you need in the moment, but in general he's rather fast and rough. It's mostly physical for him. Although when you both finish and you're lying there together? Oh he's a soft sweetheart.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
He definitly prefers fucking you properly but he isn't opposed to quickies either, especially with how busy he often is. Pulling you into a storage compartment and slamming his hand against your mouth to keep you quiet while he fucks you? Oh, he's down. Every chance he gets. He'll also absolutely use the Force to tease you.
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
There's very few things that could repulse him. He'll try almost anything at least once. He'd never judge you for your kinks or think of you as disgusting. The only risk he'll never take is when it comes to actual harm.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
In the early stages of your relationship he doesn't last very long due to his inexperience. But he always makes sure you cum at least twice. And he has a very short refractory period. He can easily do at least 5-6 rounds until he's spent. Later on, when he gets more experience and gets used to it, he can last a fair amount of time.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
Look, this man is possessive. Is being jealous of a toy a bit stupid? Maybe. But he is. It makes him feel like he isn't enough. Why need toys when you have each other?
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Oh, he's a tease. He'll push you to your absolute limits. You'll be sobbing by the time he's done. He loves to edge you almost just as much as he loves giving you orgasm after orgasm until you can't take it anymore.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
He's rather on the quieter side. Lots of growling and grunting. And a loooot of dirty talk. He might let himself go a bit more later on in the relationship, when he starts feeling more comfortable. And if so, he'll whine. I said what I said.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
Zabraks have heat cycles. There, I said it. Although Maul's schedule is messed up cause of repressing it for years during his training.
Also, the skin around his horns is super sensitive. It's a good way to get him to purr and become jelly usually, but when he's aroused, that's an intense spot. The first time you touch him there during sex, trying to hold on to something while he goes down on you, he cums in his pants right there on the spot like a teenager.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
I am a firm believer of Zabraks having ridged dicks. I also think he's tattooed there. Also no hair, like I mentioned before. I think he's slightly above average, around 7 to 7 and a half inches, and slightly more girthy, especially closer to the base.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
It's high. Especially at the beggining. That man is repressed as fuck. He'll fuck you every chance he gets and it's very easy to get him riled up. And when he's in heat? You're not even gonna have a chance to leave the bed.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
That depends on how many rounds you did and how long they were. He's usually really relaxed afterwards, but not necessarily sleepy, so he'll focus on giving you aftercare and cuddling. If that's the case, he'll usually wait until you fall asleep, watch you for a while with a surprisingly soft expression, and only then will he doze off.
The anti-endo and pro-endo positions shouldn't be treated like they're equivalent. This isn't a case of "Well, they are just two sides of an argument," because they're not.
The anti-end stance is one that includes the refusal to acknowledge or accept the personal experience of fellow human beings. It can be inherently dehumanizing, and it absolutely treats some people and their lived experiences as lesser than others because of how they present and understand themselves.
In comparison, the pro-endo stance is basically an "I believe my fellow beings" stance that's largely neutral in its position.
These two things are not the same, and it really bothers me when they're treated like they are just two sides of the same coin.
And yeah, some people choose to call themselves anti-endo for reasons that are not tied to their beliefs about endogenic systems. It's possible to accept that systems with different origin labels are having real experiences and not want to interact with them even then. I get that.
But plenty of folks on Tumblr use the tag and label to describe the underlying belief that systems not directly tied to severe trauma are either faking their experience, lying to themselves, or in some way misinformed about themselves. And the common terminology in other spaces absolutely ties anti-endos with these beliefs.
So, I don't recommend treating these two opinions as roughly the same when discussing them. They're far from similar, and only one of them is dehumanizing and bigoted in the same way as "I don't believe you're a woman, but sure, I'll play along until you grow out of it" is.
I was quiet watching pinterest until I came across this account that uploads AI-generated images of art from other creators, which for example Carmine's images are LITERALLY taken from meg's art.
I don't think it's just me who finds this disgusting, right?
