I’m on an insane mission to try and draw every Twi’lek. I’m calling it the Twi’lek Ultimate Drawing Initiative (T.U.D.I)

Wish.Me.Luck.

Updates here on Tumblr every Tues and Thurs. Insta is further ahead, and Kofi is fully up to date on where I am in this process so far. Same username as here across the board.

Third up is Orn Free Taa. He’s in the one of the senator pods, with two other twi’leks. He’ll be showing up a few times in this project as I will be doing doubles, especially in the movies.

I have made the terrible writing error of putting Beru Whitesun and Orn Free Taa in the same room

[chaoticevilbean]

Y'know, finding out that Twi'leks culturally never decline the offer of food makes Orn Fre Ta seem less like a gluttonous being who struggles to put others' needs first but tries and more like a Twi'lek who has been in a corrupted Senate so long that he struggles to do anything significant because others view him as greedy and all he does is what any of his people might do. Like, I kinda wanna give him a hug, and scream at someone.

orn free taa... seems like the kinda guy who got famous for one small thing and then took it all the way to the top and now he's in charge of ryloth

[spacefinch]

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

thinks about AUs where palpatine is outed in the middle of congress and we have a big brawl right then and there

[grand-army-radio]

This one goes out to Senator Taa.

ohh hello there 🍈+ 🫐

Eyyy thank you! :D

🍈 Who’s your blorbo and what are some of your favorite headcanons/ideas about them that repeatedly show up in your fics? Free pass to rant about blorbo opinions.

Am I supposed to choose just one blorber? Cruel, but also LET'S FUCKING GOOOO

Dooku. Man. To get some technical stuff out of the way, I think he has a castle in the Serennian hills that isn't an egg-shaped chrome dome. A *really* nice one made of painted stones and wood. Old. Full of portraits of his ancestors and with a stupid whimsical garden that has only become more whimsical ever since he stopped hiring people to trim it. I also think he has a room full of traditional swords in there. Steel blades, all types of lengths and edges, and he knows how to wield each and every one of them to perfection. That room has been collecting dust for a while, though. It comes up in Gone with the Light and I'm VERY excited to write that segment! Hehe

And I just love his inner world - or lack thereof. Old fuck in a castle who can't seem to keep anyone around for one reason or another, but he never makes himself acknowledge the pattern that's so obviously there. His internal monologue is so tasty to write, partially because he's his only hypeman, and also because he has no idea who he is unless he forces himself into the Sith grindset. That way, he doesn't have to think about all the painful stuff so much. Between the genuine revolutionary intent of his younger days, his Jedi upbringing of even younger ones and his present holding on to Sith teachings for dear life, he is lost. There is so much MEAT to him and whatever the hell is going on inside that thick skull man <3 The loneliness and denial always comes up in some way

Also, a more basic headcanon: he's a BIG eater. That body needs a lot of energy even in his old age, considering its dimensions and what he does with it. Back when Qui-Gon hit his growth spurt they could hit a pantry the way the locusts hit the fields of Egypt - in contrast, Dooku deliberately under-eats in official company. Diplomatic dinners, long-winded negotiation meetings, the days he inevitably has to spend with Sidious, you name it. The Republic has an abundance of overly indulgent Senators and Count Dooku, leader of the Confederacy, very much does not want a reputation like Orn Free Taa's. Whenever we see him in canon there's a 50/50 chance of him being hungry as fuck (I am convinced of this because it amuses me greatly)

🫐 What’s your favorite underrated thing in your fandom? (A ship that only you seem to write for, a character there’s almost no fics about, a trope that criminally hasn’t been written yet, etc.)

DEFINITELY the Dooku & Asajj dynamic! It's the sort of juicy but under-developed part of canon that you'd expect to have a couple hundred fics, and among them some of those lifechanging longfics. You know the type. But tragedy strikes... we're not getting that for these two. There's barely anything. I am planning to rectify that because they make me insane and I need to drag more people into the insanity pit with me until the numbers add up. I swear I'm already following every single person who has ever been unwell about them in the character tags augh

Thank you for the ask! <3

They aren't supposed to fight back. They aren't supposed to fight back, but 1607 only has a certain tolerance for bullshit, and Orn Free Taa pushed him far past that limit by calling him a "pretty girl"-- and honestly he's sick of that sort of thing, he just likes makeup-- and letting his hands wander just a bit too far. And so 1607 had stabbed him in the thigh with a pen and run off.

And now 1607 is hiding away in a storage closet, trying to fix his smeared makeup and messy hair, hoping for all the world not to be found.

Think of all the illegal things happening on Coruscant tho. Pod racing and underground fights could be sources of revenue. Drug trafficking can be taxed to hell and back.

They might even find out about the sith by accident. Expanding their criminal empire into separatist space could allow them to have spy’s and stuff. I have a fic where this exact thing happens lol.

okay i love corrie whump but please consider this:

the corries arrive on coruscant. their training at kamino was, shall we say, maladjusted, and then they are treat like shit by the natborns. however, unlike the GAR and their jedi and the wider galaxy, the corries have… no other example of how natborn society works.

so it must work like this, right?

i mean why else would the senators be like that.

so the corries start their casual blackmail, bullying, larceny, murder not out of revenge but just because That Is How Society Works

and after a little while maybe they accidentally have a burgeoning criminal empire, several senators in their pockets, a cordoned-off territory in the midlevel, and they’re working on expansion ever upwards

the corries have no idea that there’s a sith in the senate. there’s an arsehole or twenty but that’s okay, thorn has something on most of the aides and stone is collecting protection from the others. it’s all under control.

cody: i’ve heard your explanation

cody: i have a few more questions

bly, ferreting through the neglected datapads on fox’s desk: did you ever do any of this padwork?

fox: what are they gonna do, fire me?

bly: i want to be you when i grow up
