Star Wars oc time !!!! Crew of guys who don't need air to breathe
Boss Wulli (Helon Dop, she/he) - Big fucking gungan. ~2,20 m (~7'3") and really strong - Former Gungan Army soldier and engineer, still holds a heavy preference for gungan technology - Knows how to make boomas, and had Booma install a booma cannon in the ship - Lost an arm and part of an ear at some point but that only made her more powerful
Booma (Lei Leiru Been, he/they) - A genius gungan engineer and Boss Wulli's long time friend - They suggested becoming space pirates as a joke, Wulli decided to take it seriously and dragged him along - Engineered a lot of modifications to the ship, to suit their needs and tastes
Nass (Ahak Keer, she/her) - The crew's big money maker - Used to be a spy, but got tired of risking her life and settled for a slightly less risky career - Has had that harpoon gun since forever. it can pierce ship hulls. she loves it - Secretly gay for Boss Wulli (it's only a secret to the two of them)
Bullet (he/him) - Entirely unrelated to those two weirdos, met them on the job - Kind of a jack-of-all-trades by necessity, he used to be a solo bounty hunter - Knows a lot about guns. like A Lot.
Bone (it/its) & Rust (it/its) - Eggmates who work as cyberneticists together - They each know how to deal with one half of the process, so for your own good Do Not Separate Them - Didn't know about anesthesia until they started working off-world - Easiest way to tell them apart is to see which one is wearing a silly scarf (that would be Rust)
Knives (KN1-V35, she/any) & Dollie (D0L1-33, it/any) - Reprogrammed pit droids - All-purpose assistants - Dollie is usually helping Bone and Rust - Knives is usually either with Dollie or stalking Bullet - Knives realy really reallly likes Bullet. because he lets her shoot guns
I have not designed their ship because well. I am no good at drawing spaceships. but it's a pretty spacious repurposed freighter ship. the interior looks very gungan - every room is sealed off from the other so the ship only has atmosphere where they want atmosphere - Boss Wulli's, Booma's and Nass's rooms are submersible - Bullet's room is connected to Bone and Rust's, and they are usually full-time no atmosphere areas since the three of them are always wearing breathing tanks. (they activate the atmosphere sometimes, but their atmosphere setting is only breathable for them)

(mega apologies if I already sent one and forgot) 16 (broken wings) + alphys?
If you had sent two i would make two. Thanks for asking!
Here it goes. I... Took this in an unexpected way haha
RecordsOfOurOwn
Words: 1184
Link to AO3
"Dr. Alphys!" There was a metallic clunk at the lab's door. Alphys stopped typing on her computer and walked to greet the person on the other side. A few humans lifted their heads from their desks, but otherwise ignored her and kept working.
"Umm... it's just Alphys now, sorry." She opened the door and gasped.
Tsunderplane stood outside, one of her wings pressed against the door. Her other wing hung loose, some of the metal plates with a few bumps. It seemed like a painful image, however the monster showed no sign of suffering, only mild discomfort.
"Tsunderplane" wasn't her real name, but a nickname the young monster wore with pride. She used to wander around western Hotland, and Alphys met her a couple of times whenever she decided to go outside her Lab. Now, she attended Ebott University, along with a few monsters.
Alphys worked there as a helper. She didn't want to be a researcher again, but Undyne had encouraged her to bring her knowledge in magic-based science to educate humans on those topics. Not all her titles were recognized, but her experience was still respected.
Alphys opened both doors of her office and led Tsunderplane to the work station right behind her desk.
"What happened t-to your wing?" She held her, careful not to cause any more pain. The student didn't flinch.
"It's not like something bad happened." She rolled her eyes, but at Alphys's stern look she admitted. "I just crashed against a tree. I didn't think they were so tall."
"Thank goodness it was just an accident." She realized her words could be taken the wrong way and corrected herself: "I m-mean. I am sorry you got hurt but I'm glad it wasn't- that you weren't hurt by someone."
"It happens and I'm not in pain, it's just awkward. I guess there's still more about the surface I need to learn."
"But why didn't you go to a nurse?"
"They're all human."
"Oh... right. Yeah. Let's see if I can do something for you. B-but, I'll be careful. I'm not t-the best for the task."
"What do you mean? You're brilliant! You made Mettaton, right? You know your way around metal parts. I trust you" Tsunderplane cheered her. "Besides, I don't have any food in my inventory. I don't know if it will fix everything."
Alphys barely processed the second part of her statement, she was surprised to see a monster trust in her abilities... especially after what she'd done.
"Doc?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, kid. H-hang on. I'll go grab some tools." Alphys felt her hands sweaty, she cleaned them on her lab coat and walked towards a storage closet by the other side of the room.
As the lizard inspected each compartment, Tsunderplane looked at the place around her. The former royal scientist’ computer desk took her interest over everything else. She noticed a dark red logo she recognized very well. “RecordsOfOurOwn”. No way. Did Alphys know about that website? Surprisingly, the humans had their own equivalent, and after months of work, both websites were now compatible with each other. Maybe it made sense that Alphys worked with the administration team?
Upon taking a closer look, she saw that there was an open draft. So she’s a writer, Tsunderplane thought. The idea amused her, but deep down she was curious. She had her own addiction to fanfiction back then. She had to admit that the quality of what she read may have influenced how she viewed relationships. After getting to the Surface, she became a more mature and realistic person. She still enjoyed fanfiction, but she took a more responsible approach to them. But what could Alphys be writing about? Did they share any fandoms?
A loud clatter was heard from the storage closet. Well… it didn’t hurt to look right? She leaned closer, eager to see the secrets the scientist hid… And found an author’s note. What a bummer. It read:
Hello guys, MewMewFan89 here.
I know I left all my stories on hiatus for almost a year, and I’m really sorry! I guess life really got in the way back then haha. Just when the Barrier fell. We were gonna have the intervention of our heroes Nydune and Salyph, who had just found the way to make the perfect couple work in The Undying and The Amazing. I know we were also getting to the good part when Nass and the mysterious voice finally met their true love and finally held hands, and also Telior finally came back to Sagreo as the waterfall crystals foretold. And then! in “Dance with Souls” our favorite character Tametton would realize that his biggest fan would change his life. Ok I got carried away but what I wanted to say was...
Hold on. She knew this writer! Her stories were well known across the UnderNet. The creativity in them was incredible, and Tsunderplane always wondered where she got the inspiration. She wanted to read the rest of the note, but was started by a high pitched noise from the lizard.
“Oh No no no no, I shouldn’t have left the tab open! I’m sorry you had to see this”
“You’re MewMewFan89?”
“Ah…” No point in lying anymore. “Yes?”
“I loved your stories! I was so addicted to them back in the Underground!” Alphys started working on her broken wing with a mix of tools and green healing magic. “How did you come up with all of it?”
Alphys felt her sweater pressed too hard against her neck. “I’ll admit I took some inspiration from…. life itself.”
“Wow! You must know some really interesting people! So when’s the next part coming up?”
“See… that’s the- umm, I’m sorry to say this but I’m not finishing them.”
“Oh... “ Tsunderplane’s excitement dropped. Well, it seems she was never getting her answers. “Well… that’s fine. But why?”
“W-well… When you write something so personal you start projecting a lot of your desires on the characters.” She almost drops a piece on the floor out of nervousness. “And then these characters and their lives become an idealized version that can never be real. It’s not healthy to live like that. W-with a fantasy that’s unreal, and expect real life to play out the same way.”
“That is… really sensible. I’ve matured a lot myself in the past year too.
“Oh! A-and also one of my friends almost finds my account. I would feel so awkward if they realized I’m writing about real people, haha.”
“Yeah, that doesn’t sound very healthy.”
Alphys nodded, and set the last fixed metal plate on the right place.
“I think your writing style is still good. If you ever find something else to write about… maybe you should give it a try. I’d love to read it.” Tsunderplane moved her wing, and satisfied with the result, she thanked Alphys and left.
Alphys went back to her desk and finished her Author’s note. Perhaps it would disappoint some people, but even if she made mistakes, there was room to improve and people who trusted her to do her best.

Good to see you're back! I have a question for you, if you feel up to it. I read a theory that the song 'Hal' in OLLA is about a vampire longing for her partner. What are your thoughts on that? The translation of the lyrics is easy to find with Google, if you don't already know them.
Hello, love! I’m glad to be back! I’m sorry it took a while to get to this, there was a pet death today and I had to duck sit a very lonely duckling who lost its friend. Now that I have the time, lets get to your question! And as always, I will be over the top about it.  
Hal is a beautiful song, and Yasmine does a fantastic job of lacing deep meanings into poetic lyrics-example her song Nediya. However, I have some doubts about the vampire part of this theory. Mostly because I believe its inclusion in a vampire film would have affected people's ideas of what the song means. 
Since I do not speak Arabic and do not know anyone who does, the translated lyrics online may be fuzzy, and the terms used may actually be very important to Yasmine’s culture and language. Everything I say from here out is speculation and in no way the real meaning of the song.  (Note: If there’s anyone who does speak Arabic or knows any interviews where Yasmine speaks about this song or anything important in her phrases, please feel free to let me know.) 
First, let's take a look at the name of the song and the translated lyrics. I am going off the lyrics on http://yasminehamdan.com/en/#/#lyrics   
The name Hal is  حل in Arabic.   حل means Solution when you look it up on online dictionaries. So the song is not just ‘Hal’ it is ‘Solution’  
The lyrics: 
  I live it full I live it all. Yearning for you. I tried and failed to leave you. I learned to play the game. For the joy and the pain. I’ll always praise you. Nights are filled with ghosts like you. My poor heart .With the pain of absence. I am helpless. When love strikes. 
---
The speaker in the poem/lyrics seems to love a person who is no longer with them, or no longer loves them, as they love them. No matter how hard things get, they stick around for that person, but it seems like a bit of a bad relationship. Then when ‘love strikes’ or the person shows affection, it’s like the speaker is helpless to fight them, to leave them, because they yearn for that one person. 
You can easily see some of the reasons this song is in OLLA-minus the bit that seems toxic. Let’s place Eve in the speakers' place for a quick scenario. 
Eve loves Adam dearly, she would do anything for him, even when it’s a bothersome drag. She lives life to her fullest, but Adam has yet to embrace that idea and lives his life like a hermit crab living in a tin can. She’s learned how to deal with Adams depression, she’s learned just how to help him, to handle the situation, and even if it gets tiring, she stays because she knows he needs her as much as she needs him. Did either of them ever try to leave? We’ll never know because we’ll never get more information no matter how much I cry out for it. ANYWAYS-Eve always praises and cheers Adam on. Her nights are filled with ‘ghosts’ -the people of Tangier, people she sees but does not interact with, people who may as well already be dead in a vampires lifespan. She has problems with being apart from Adam just as he does with her being away, Marlowe even asks why they don’t live together when they need to be together-they are like two halves of a whole. When Adam is in trouble, her love guides him back to him. His absence clearly changes who she is as well if you take care to notice how she acts before and after. 
 Anywho, in that scenario, we can see why it is included in the film, and the roles can be reversed but we kind of have Adams perspective laid out in the movie since he’s the MAIN Main character. 
-The song's title HAL aka Solution- Eve and Adam are both the solution to one another's trouble and pain. So even the title is a very fitting thing to describe their relationship. 
---
Final thoughts: 
From my perspective, I do not believe that this is about vampires at all. Yasmine’s first album, Ya Nass, came out in 2012, Hal is number 11 on the album. OLLA was being filmed around the same time.  So the album, which had been in the works for a while, came before OLLA as far as I can tell.  I’ve never read that theory tbh (which makes me wonder if it is the blog I blog because I have a major dislike for their ideas on OLLA and hate how they self-insert, but I digress.)  
The song is beautiful, it fits the characters, but I have to say no on the idea of it being about vampires or even written for the movie unless Yasmine herself says so.
