Encyclopedia of Tamaran - Honnatarl

Repost from before this blog was a multi. Basically, this is a similar ‘series’ to the ‘Headcanon Time’-things, just posts that might occasionally appear on my blog and talk about some details of tamaraneans or their world, or in the case of the 'Encyclopedia'-entries, but more about one specific thing or creature.

This post here is made to introduce you to the Honnatarl, a tamaranean creature that has similarities to the earthen reindeer.

More below the cut, as usual - even links to two awesome refs that amazing people did for me that I still love very very much!

Even back when Tamaran still was a luscious tropics-like planet basically all-around, it was a rare sight to spot a Honnatarl, and it was even rarer (if at all possible) to be able to approach one or try to befriend or catch it. Due to the nature of the species, the tamaraneans so far have not been able to say for sure if the species has died out or is still existing on their world, after the catastrophe.

Their fur is of a dark brown color, and usually there is a flower-like pattern on their backside. Unlike most species of reindeer that exist on Earth, a Honnatarl always has antlers, regardless of its gender. Seasonally, there are protrusions growing on the antlers, that resemble red flowers, though most likely aren’t actual flowers. That’s only guessing though, since no tamaranean so far has managed to research those protusions. Their tail is mostly resembling what the earthen bunnies have, and their ears are somewhat similar to cats’ ears, including the movement according to the mood. Their nose by default glows faintly red in the dark, and the Honnatarld (that’s how you call multiple of them, by the way) are able to make the nose glow stronger if they wish. It serves also as a form of communication within the species, to blink the glow of the nose in patterns. Some tamaraneans have before tried to imitate the glowing with their own energy, in attempts to both understand the Honnatarl’s communication and also to perhaps approach one without it running away, but it is either simply not similar enough to have the hands (or eyes) glow instead, or they didn’t understand the patterns as well as they thought.

Most times, it is rather difficult to tell the males and females apart - the male antlers are a hint bigger, but not as much that it’s directly recognizeable; and the females usually carry markings throughout their body that can glow, but unless it is one of those times when the markings do glow, they are only barely visible through the fur. It is unclear when, why or how exactly it happens, but the markings of the female Honnatarld are on occasion glowing in a brilliant gold, which then of course makes a defining of that one as a female rather easy. The males do not carry such markings, or perhaps simply not in a way that is even in the slightest visible through their fur, and definitely not capable of glowing. While any earthling might expect a species that is as reindeer-like as the Honnatarld to have hooves, they are in fact not having such. Their feet are ending in dexterous toes with talons.

(Two awesome people offered to do reference-pictures for me for this species, so here are the links! Here, and here!)

The Honnatarld are very timid, perhaps skittish, creatures, and tend to flee the scene from even the slightest noises. Since they can move fast, and are also capable of flight, it is rare that any potential danger - or anyone, really - can keep up with them. While rather rare to come close to for others, they do occasionally meet with another of their own species. There has not been any sighting of a larger group yet, though, so presumably they prefer small groups, if any.

They are herbivores, and their favourite food is Jellorel (see here for a little bit of details on that) - they usually take it before it falls from the trees.

Batboys x albino!s/o headcanons

Requested : yes

This one was truly a challenge and got me thinking. But I like nonobvious requests, so if anyone else got anything specific in mind, ask away :)

DICK

He would notice it straight away, like he is tuned into spotting extraordinary looking people

Definitely staring at first, but not in the creepy or judgmental way, rather astonished

He would love you, I mean, consider the fact that he had dated a princess from Tamaran with purple hair and eyes glowing green,

I believe he would be the one to try to get the attention of such person by showing off a bit, trying to display all his best feature to match your outstanding ones.

“Hey, let’s be friends!”

He would show you off as well, sometimes making you blush or causing a bit of a drama when you feel a bit insecure about going out or being put on the spotlight

Once you get into a relationship with him, he would be the protector, always ready to assure you how amazing you are, and that people are only talking because they are jealous

Definitely doing self-care together, he would love to help you oil your hair and moisturize the skin (face mask first!)

And on sunny days he would never let you leave the house without putting a ton of sunscreen on, always having a sun umbrella to protect you from the rays and/or a bag otf other accessories (sunglasses, hats, etc.)

Casually running fingers through your hair or stroking your skin, just because he can

JASON

I think he would be the one to miss your pale skin and unusual hair color

at first

come on, this guy has  a white hair strand in the middle of the forehead and a tone of scars, I don’t think he focuses on the looks that much

But he has to notice eventually (probably by being called to order by Dick or Tim because of how insensitive he is)

Cause yes, he may seem a bit insensitive and rough on the outside never really addressing the matter of your albinism, but we all know he cares much more than it shows

You want to go out, but feel shy? – he will hype you and kill scare off anyone who may even look at you in a judgmental way.

You want to stay home and watch movies, but get insecure because of the way the lead female character looks? – screw the movie, he will kiss you until you forget about the whole world and just believe in yourself

I strongly believe he would be the one to understand why you feel down the best of all the batboys

He would stand with you in front of the mirror, pointing out all those little things you feel insecure about and then his own

“See, baby? We match.”

forehead kisses and cuddling on the couch (he won’t let you leave, just holding in that iron-clad embrace, not that you care).

TIM

Oh my god …

He’s like a walking encyclopedia and that is not necessarily a good thing

The most open about the matter, but the most awkward about it as well.

Once he started getting interested in you as more than a friend, he read like a whole library about albinism and approaching you without causing any psychological pain or hurt

And with that he pushed the point to the other side

“You don’t need to walk on the eggshells around me, Tim! You treat me like an alien or something like this! I am a person!”

And after a little fight he would confess that in fact he likes you and therefore all that embarrassing behavior

He would be the one to create a safe space for you both, like a bubble,

He’s been judged before and kind of learn how to not care and just be happy and content with himself and is more than willing to share his methods with you

Grabbing your hands the second he notices you getting insecure, arms rubbing and temple kisses

Making you meet all his friends, who will love you the first second they saw you

DAMIAN

Oh, he’s the one to stare at you with that impenetrable gaze which also seem judgmental, but it’s just curiosity

He’s been raised by a cult of assassin, there are so many things he knows shit about

Making you blush hard, which is way too visible on your pale skin

No one can really tell what he thought when you first met.

Not saying  a single word, just gawking

Pushing your limits to the point when you either cry or yell at him and it makes him even more interested (and maybe tiniest bit sorry)

Since then, he’s been the one to spite you just to see your reaction

Slowly getting addicted to that, to the point where any other girls just seem to ordinary and he misses having you with your astounding features around

“You are a jerk, Damian!” “Why? Because I find you the most interesting person on the planet?”

And once you get together ? he would probably go everywhere with his katana

And I mean everywhere, just to scare everyone who may say a single bad word about you

No one would dare

Even when you are in a relationship, he would still stare at you at times, when you don’t see that

He just can’t seem to keep his eyes of you, but is never going to straightforwardly admit how much you mean to him

Robstar Week Day 5: Blush

Fun fact: According to Crystal Encyclopedia (yes, it’s a thing), the emerald opens the way to the Heart Chakra, the wellpoint of emotions representing unconditional love, compassion, and joy. And in my opinion, I’d say that describes Starfire pretty well. Here’s Day 5, enjoy!

Dear Star, 

To Princess Starfire of Tamaran,

Starfire,

I'm not exactly sure why I'm doing this.

I'm really not that great at writing letters, at to be honest this is kind of the first one I've ever written, and to a girl no less. But I have to do something, because well, you make me do crazy things. However whenever I try to even talk to you my heart beats faster and all I can do is turn red. I've never been very good at telling people how I feel. So I guess this letter will have to do, even if I never give it you.

I haven't told you very much about my time before the Titans. You barely know who Batman is. And quite frankly, I could say the same exact thing. I'm grateful to him of course, he took in an orphan who had no one else. But at best, my time with him was incredibly lonely.

I'm not proud of the things I said to him when I left. Maybe someday I'll make things up with him too (Have I mentioned I'm not good at expressing my emotions?)

I tried to find the sunniest place away from Gotham, so Jump City was a natural choice. I was determined to work alone, to prove to Batman that I could do this without help.

And then I met you.

You, this beautiful alien princess from another planet who appeared so suddenly and so intensely. You definitely made a statement when you almost destroyed the city. And you made an ever bigger one when you kissed me. Yeah, I know it was to learn English, but I still rather enjoyed it. 

What I'm trying to say is that you're nothing like anyone I've meet before. You take such wonder in our earthly "customs" as you call them, from the toppings of a pizza to snowflakes falling from the sky. You care so deeply for others, always trying to make someone smile. But my favorite smile is yours, and you're almost never without it.

How can you smile like that all the time? You've been through so much pain and confusion. You've lost your parents, your home. Your sister wants to kill you and your brother is missing. You've been treated like dirt, less than dirt, by so many. So how is it that you can still smile like that, holding back nothing? You're so forgiving, so open, so full of life.

And how is it, that you have the same effect on me?

I've only gotten this far without my parents because fighting the bad guys brings justice. It keeps others from going through what I did. But a crime-fighter is only a part of who you are. Is it possible that there's another way to move past the grief?

I love being with you. You make me feel like I can smile and laugh without feeling guilty for doing so. You instantly break down my walls that I've tried so hard to build. And when you're not with me, I feel completely lost.

I still remember the day of your almost-wedding on Tameran. That was the only day you never truly smiled. You were making a choice that would never bring you happiness, all for the sake of your planet. And I couldn't stand to see you that way.

I was so scared that I would lose you forever, and to this day I still am. That someday I'll have to get used to fighting without you by my side.

Why is it that when I try and sneak a glance at you, you're already looking at me? Why is it that whenever you hug me, I never want to let go? And why is it that even the very thought of you makes me blush?

Maybe someday I'll find the courage to say these things to you. Maybe someday I'll be able to open my heart to you. And when I do, I hope you'll feel the same.

____________________________

Dick finished reading, looking up from the crumpled, yellowed note he had written so long ago. He met the shimmering eyes of his girlfriend, the moonlight highlighting the red tinge that had appeared on her cheeks. The kind of blush she reserved only for him.

He took her hands in his. "Look, I know it definitely took me a while to say it, but I love you, Kory. I've known it since the very beginning."

She smiled, and he took a deep breath. It was now or never.

"And I also know without a doubt," he said as he kneeled on the ground in front of her. "that I want to spend the rest of my life with you." He held out the ring he had so carefully chosen, the emerald twinkling amongst the tiny diamonds that surrounded it.

He hadn't even finished the question before he felt her lips on his, giving him the kind of kiss where you can almost feel the soul of the other.

They broke apart and Dick laughed, feeling as though he could fly.

"I guess I'll take that as a yes."

Encyclopedia of Tamaran - Honnatarl

Okay, so, this kinda is the beginning of a new ‘series’ that might occasionally appear on my blog, just as the ‘Headcanon Time’-things, that usually talk about some details of tamaraneans or their world. Since this here isn’t a list of many different creatures, but instead a small info-post about only one, it wouldn’t feel right as post in the already-existing series, so that’s why there’s something new here.

This post here is made to introduce you to the Honnatarl, a tamaranean creature that has similarities to the earthen reindeer.

As usual, find the headcanon below the cut!

Even back when Tamaran still was a luscious tropics-like planet basically all-around, it was a rare sight to spot a Honnatarl, and it was even rarer (if at all possible) to be able to approach one or try to befriend or catch it.
