I got my hands on this little kitty figure from one of my uni professors as a joke… I’ve named him Wilbur for irony’s sake. (Look at him tho what a tiny cutie!)

I’ve given him to the Tarkin family since they’re fellow figures… Mini can even pet the boyo 💖

He seems to fit right in, although I think he sees Yarnkin as a little yarn ball to play with 😱🧶

Next Game Up! Rhyme time, Needle Rhymes!

Another crashbox OC from me... Lolll... Couldn't help myself. I wanted to design a monsterish girlie and she just spouted from there you know? Her name is Yarnkins Crochette!

So from what you can tell, she hosts a rhyming game called Needle-Rhymes! It takes place in her boutique which is entirely made out of cotton and felt, in her game she is sent a doll to fix in her boutique, and your task is to help her find the items needed to fix the doll via using words that rhyme with the specific object needed. The doll varies through each episode, from a baby doll to a fashion doll to a teddy bear, she knows how to fix them all. At the end of the episode she proudly displays the fixed doll on her shelf, then proceeding to go off screen to work on her next project, whatever that may be.. the format of this game is like the coraline intro, with the beldam fixing the doll.

Her personality is very.. Odd, to say the least. She can't blink or change her expression, her motto is "You're never fully dressed without a smile!", something she takes to the extreme. She's very eccentric, too eccentric for her own good which leads to her having trouble communicating with others and leaving them straight up creeped out by her, She talks to others as if they are the dolls that she works on, which doesn't help with how disturbed the other hosts feel by her presence alone. She's very unaware of how strange and unusual she can be, which leads to her not quite understanding why the hosts give her uncomfortable reactions when she interacts with them.

In the show, she'd be made using puppeteering a doll around! She'd be made w an actual pin potato while her gloves and hat r made of wool, her bow a pair of scissors, and her pigtails actual measuring tapes! Just a few examples.

Now for some facts !

- Despite her.. abnormal behavior, she is actually dating someone! And that someone is Eddie Bull, he ended up being fascinated by the dolls she fixes and they started a bond from there.

- She's the absolute tallest out of all the hosts, which doesn't help with her creepy reputation.

- Her friends are Colora Contour (OC by my friend @art-tea-chill !!) and the Haunted House Party host! Besides that.. everyone else just feels uneasy around her minus eddie.

- She can crawl on the walls if she so chooses, she tends to pops in during random intervals.

- If you removed her button eye, a bunch of foam would just pour out.

- When she moves she makes a slight clinging sound because of her pin feet.

- She'd be opened with the Train Game Loader and Metal Game Loader!

- She'd appear as a rare character in S1, but appear significantly more in S2.

- Her voice claim would be Topsy from the Raggedy Ann Movie, but specifically when she says "What Truth?" During the No Girls Toy Song

- She has little mice followers that help her with fixing the dolls, they hand her the supplies after you find it with the right rhymes. She calls them her "Buttoneers"

- Because she has no bones, she's very flexible. She can stretch her limbs to whatever lengths she desires and put herself through harm that'll ultimately not hurt due to her lack of bones

- She makes hand puppets out of the hosts and makes little absurd, downright bizarre and unintentionally disturbing stories with them to entertain them (sometimes, it's when they're feeling down and feels like she wants to help.) But doesn't quite understand why they look so terrified after it's done. She just thinks she's doing a nice favour is all!

Tarkin novel thoughts

Blorbo gushing incoming under the cut because AAAAAAAA

I was already squeeing in the first chapter. Love how Tarkin was written and how snarky, yet ruthless he gets to be. He actually gets to do a LOT in this story, even space combat (which makes sense, given that he’s the main character ofc) which I LOOOOOVED because in the original Star Wars film he’s mostly just the guy who commands (which he does wonderfully, mind you. I love my space war criminal but this novel truly showed why he isn’t someone you mess with!)

And, of course, the main reason for my buying the book, THE BACKSTORY. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It was of course the storyline that I was most invested in but it’s spread really well over the story and in such a way that it parallels the story’s current events which was amazing!!! It also kept me reading more and more because I kept going ‘MORE BLORBO BACKSTORY’

His recountings of his first trip to the Carrion Plateau are so heartbreaking, how he questions why his uncle would just shoot an animal out of nowhere and how seeing death for the first time is harrowing because it isn’t like the holodramas he used to watch at all 🥺🥺 THEY TOOK A PERFECTLY SWEET BOY AND TURNED HIM INTO A FUCKING MONSTER AND I AM NOT NORMAL ABOUT IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Other highlights include his recountings of his final test at the Carrion Spike (that whole chapter was so amazing, tensions were getting higher and you can just see how it mirrors what’s about to happen in the story and I was SO EXCITED!!!!!) and, of course, CANON INTERACTIONS WITH HIM AND COUNT DOOKU!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆

I love the bickery dynamic these two have WHILE BEING ON A DIPLOMATIC DINNER DATE, MIND YOU. And just one piece of dialogue stood out to me so MUCH!!!

Dooku: ‘I will do my best to see that no lasting harm comes to your homeworld.’

Tarkin: ‘Why would you?’

Dooku: ‘Because in the end, you and I are likely to find ourselves under the same roof.’

HFJFJGJFJFJSKSKGKFKKE THE BLORBO THOUGHTS!!!! THEY!!!!

(Also Tarkin being ‘intrigued by the tall, charismatic Count’…. Heheheheheh sounds like someone has a bit of a crush 🤭🤭)

Anyways this novel brilliantly delivered on giving blorbo thoughts, illustrating Tarkin like a fucking badass (not painting him heroically, he is a villain, but still giving him time to shine which I loved) and giving WHUMP!!!!!!!! (Though I wish that we could have gotten whump of his incarceration and torture while in the Citadel but that’s what fanfic is for lolll!) Some of the sci-fi terms were a bit confusing because I’m not familiar with Star Wars otherwise but it wasn’t too obstructing.

So yeah, if you’re a fan of Tarkin, definitely worth the read! Yarnkin approves 💚
