I cannot stop thinking about accidentally(?) trans twi'lek dude from Book of Boba Fett.

Actually I should probably explain:

Twi'leks have a few elements of sexual dimorphism unique to their species:

Lekku count: either gender can have one set of lekku, but only males can have two sets (example: Orn Free Taa)

Foreheads: Males have bony plating at their upper foreheads and crowns that females do not. Females also all wear a leather, fabric, or metal headband to cover their foreheads, especially the join of lekku and scalp.

Ears: Males have ears. Females have auditory cones.

Twi'lek from Book of Boba Fett has auditory cones, not ears. This could technically mean a few things (e.g. maybe the character is genetically XX but has an endocrine disorder that overproduces testosterone), but my immediate thought was definitely "trans dude that got top surgery, but decided doing a surgery on his audio cones was way, way too risky on account of being a major sensory organ instead of just breasts."

Oh boy here I go turning my obsessions into Homestuck AGAIN

Yup this is a thing now, I decided, they're also all from Tatooine because that's the planet I'm currently obsessed with.

John is a Twi'lek, and on Tatooine, yeah, if you're familiar with Star Wars you already know he's a slave. He lives in Jabbas palace ready to help with laborial tasks, like murder, theft and anything else a crime boss would want.

Jade is a Jawa, a funny little creature that likes messing around with technology she finds. Though more of a creative type than a haggler, if her circle is selling you a droid chances are it's actually functioning as intended.

Dave is a Tusken Raider, yeah, this design is definitely the least recognizable as either Dave or a Tusken, but that is what Tusken children dress like. Anyway considering that Tuskens are only considered "grown up" after slaying a fucking dragon I feel like the upbringing was similar enough.

R0-S3, or just "Esthree" is a modified protocol droid, specifically modified with a head covering that purpose is unknown to most, but appears to prevent the ever prevalent memory-wipe, at least in any significant fashion.

What's your opinion on Twi'leks?

Ooooh I like their designs! (I even have a Twi'lek OC!) although they're super hard for me to draw correctly, lol

Given that it seems like is a species super sexualized (both in-universe and out of universe) I'm glad there are a few characters like Ayla or the Twi'lek revolution in Clone Wars that give more in-depth about them.

I would love to see more their culture and biology more fleshed out, tbh. Like what particular biological abilities they have, that differ from a human? Give me moreeeee

#thanks for the ask!#ask #twi'leks #star wars #sw

Project Twi'lex - the Twi'lek Lexicon

It's come to my attention yesterday that some of the Ryl words and expressions I've referenced in the Amatakka wordlists are not from official publications, but from the Dictionary of Twi'leki Terms published by Zach Lee under the title Project Twi'lex.

I searched for it and found it to be abandoned, the website and links to it broken, which is very sad.

Lee attempted to make Ryl a real, functioning conlang and did good work so far - see the following links:

I'm now going to add the Ryl sources to the Amatakka wordlists.

Let's Talk About Lekku

Do you ever think about twi'lek neck strain?

Do you think twis with higher-set lekku are considered prettier, but also find it a pain in the ass, like having a large chest in humans?

Do you ever think about voluntary partial lekku amputations?

(Check out this post, I like it muchly and it is why I subscribe to the lekku placement thing.)

Anyway, I saw this gif of Hera and got to thinking, with how tense she is, what the weight of her lekku might be doing to her.

Anyway, here's a bunch of thoughts:

Per @atagotiak (Tia) when I brought this up on discord:

They’ve probably evolved stronger neck muscles than humans. But then that doesn’t mean that neck strain isn’t a problem. Our own bodies are def inadequate sometimes Like the boob thing you mentioned Imagine being a Jedi or even worse, a non-sensitive athlete or something Twilek head-wrap debates. The ones with better necks and/or smalller/better positioned lekku think the restrictive ones are a pain and sometimes describe them the way we describe bras or corsets. The ones with more issues are like “no I need them” but also like taking them off at the end of the day. Also, if they are more restrictive, improperly fitted ones probably are torture Leaning into the bra analogy a lot here

Per @ioudaleks (Jade):

Headaches, probably too, esp if you’re moving a lot Or a more decorative head thingy rather than a more functional one Could be close to an overly tight hairstyle too Or a heavy or elaborate one. Speaking as a person with long hair and a fondness for updos

There's a very good reason Bib Fortuna wraps his lekku around his shoulders like a scarf.

Really 'conservative' Twi'leks wear like... a sack that hangs from the shoulders that their lekku can sit in, like a Renaissance era snood, but it hangs from the shoulders instead of the head, to support the weight.

Tia:

Hey, if higher tails are feminine do you think people push theirs higher/lower, even to an extent that maybe hurts a bit?

As mentioned, I stole the placement headcanon from a tumblr post, but yes, that sounds plausible.

Some very unpleasant communities (namely slave owners) insist on young girls wearing harnesses that yank them higher so they grow unnaturally high. IRL parallel would be waist training from prepubescence, or foot binding.

People with longer lekku definitely wear them over the shoulder sometimes, just going off of my experiences wearing a longer ponytail fall that starts from a similarly high part of the skull.

Dudes with four lekku are considered very macho and attractive but they have to deal with the worst strain and end up with just. Massive neck muscles.

Also I keep thinking about the thing I once heard about how the Megara character actors at Disney World all have chiropractors on Disney's dime because of how heavy the wig is

Jade:

Crisscross to opposite shoulders to keep them out of the way Horrible hypothetical Discourse idea: high pigtails are twi’lek cultural appropriation Especially if you wear it with a headband

Tia:

I imagine most twi’lek wouldn’t actually care, hair isn’t like lekku at all, but there’d be furious debate all the same. Braids are worse.

This is where I start thinking about lekku amputations like breast reductions. So much weight hecking up the spine that it's easier to just. Cut off the surplus, excess tissue. It does impact their ability to communicate, since so much of Ryl involves lekku language, so it's not a decision anyone makes lightly.

The doctors are all incredibly trained because if you cut too high you endanger brain tissue.

There are generally several feet of sensory lekku tissue before reaching the brainy bits, but the risk of infection is a nightmare.

I think those who get lekku reduction have like. Specialty accessories? Lightweight caps with tassels so the visual effect is still somewhat there, but the weight is gone.

Tia:

Having fun with gender presentation in general. Femmes embracing low lekku, butches rocking high lekku. Defiance re: what your role should be.

Not twi’leks but oh boy some togruta ladies have absurdly long lekku

Thankfully, theirs start from significantly lower on the head, and rest heavily on the shoulders and back.
