#lekking

[zegalba]

Lekking. A group of glasswing males will frequently gather together, or form 'leks', to find a mate. This competitive behaviour occurs in shaded corners of the rainforest, where males release pheromones to attract a female.

Currently re-reasing the rise of kyoshi and i want to draw some of myfavorite scenes so bad so here you go

---------------------------------------------

“Topknot’s got it,” Lek said, pointing at Rangi. “Look at her, boiling away with Firebender rage. See if you can pull that off.”

“I’m not doing anything,” Rangi protested. “This is my normal face.”

---------------------------------------------

“I want you to teach me how to kill someone.” If Lao Ge was surprised by her answer, he didn’t show it.

"Hit them in the head really hard with a rock. "

---------------------------------------------

Lek forgot his portion as he watched them, amazed. “I didn’t think an army princess and a servant girl from a fancy mansion would take to elephant rat.”

“Survival training at the academy,” Rangi said, breaking a bone with her fingers to get at the marrow. “We learned to accept whatever food we could find in the wild.”

“I used to eat garbage,” Kyoshi said.

---------------------------------------------

Remember, though: Nothing will match the level of insanity of Kuruk and Kyoshi and their companions.

One of the reasons i love reading Kyoshi is her inter monalogue and something i love about it is that she knows about agriculture and its just randomly using this knowledge in her head

(And in her pettiness)

Like in the Daofei city they were worriedly explaining to her how sad and bad it is that they are tied up with a gruop called "Autumn flower society" that have "moon peaches" as their simbol, and how dangerous they were

And Kyoshi first thoght was "moon peaches bloom in the spring, idiots, but of corse they wouldn't know that, they're daofei not farmers"

Or the amont of times they go to a new place and the firt thing she does is cassify the soil as good/bad to plant things

Kyoshi herself acknowledge this trait of hers sometimes

Like she is doing a ditch with earthbending and being like "See that Yokoya??? I can plow land too, i could be a great farmer"

Or when shes eating dust being like "its not eating, its testing, spirits why did i have to know that???"

Love my avatar farmer girly with criminal and artistic genes

Alright, Rangi looking at Kyoshi's scarred hands for the first time may be the gayest moment in western literature, I don't make the rules

[ kirima, to rangi : stop glancing at kyoshi, even lek could stay still for his opera make-up ]

kyoshi era week day 1 - found family/daofei

sketchy and a bit lazy for a scene but i love the flying opera company and i dont want to be late for kyoshi era week <3

ive posted tem before a long time ago but here are my personal designs for them incase someone wants to use them

Not to be crass, but do you you think twi'leks ever get lekku erections when they're excited? There must be a lot of blood flowing through them.

An amusing thought but no - the lekku are primarily fat deposits once crucial to survival on their pretty messed up desert homeworld. Evolutionarily they are most akin to a camel's humps and while there is indeed a small amount of muscle fibre wrapped underneath all that fat, and blood flowing through it, that is not what causes an erection or we'd all go stiff like a starfish when someone honked our proverbial horns. just consider how much blood goes through your legs. Even if it was, with such an overwhelming majority of the weight and mass of lekku being fat, their length and weight far outrange (in most healthy individuals) what the muscle fibre is capable of counteracting. This is also why lekku have a very limited range of motion.

Most fundamentally though, Lekku are not sexual organs and would not benefit from, or serve any purpose in becoming stiff enough to effect penetration (though we ALL know twi'leks must get up to that a ton, let's not pretend otherwise) However - we DO know they have tons of nerve endings, and are considered highly erogenous zones, so I imagine in an aroused state many would experience a much heightened sensitivity much like humans do in breasts, thighs, neck, ears and such.

So go touch 'em!! (with consent)
