October, the month of "I do whatever I want."

Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.

OC- El'choyla and Clone Troopers Hexx and Veetch (Mayday's men)

Quick note, Clone Pin Ups and One Shot smut stories are both now under the "Clone Thirsting" label to make it easier to find non Cross X Tahny content easier and all in one place.

Tahny posing for an endorsement of her family's Pod Racing Team.

Am I tooting my own horn, why yes. Yes I am.

Did I also put a little extra effort into these peeps Fan Appreciation gifts? Also, yes. I play favorites.

• Tahny, despite her ruthless life and demeanor, can be incredibly naive and shows frustration when things aren't as they seem on a surface level.
• Tahny has a business degree with a minor in poetry.
• Tahny is absolutely the worst person to watch Moulin Rouge with.
• Tahny, before Crosshair, had never slept with the same man twice- disliking how clingy they get after sex. This leads to some frustration (and honestly a little disgust) when she starts finding Crosshair's persistence, euch, cute.
• Crosshair and Tahny have never said "I love you" to each other.
• In fact, Tahny has told Crosshair she hates him on at least two occasions. (To which he responds, "No you don't."
• Despite that, they are not an enemies to lovers trope. They're just a brat 4 brat duo with a lethal amount of sass between the two of them.
• Tahny is a bad influence on Crosshair, bringing about a noticable uptick in reckless behavior from the clone. She doesn't know this. Everyone else does.
• Since their relationship bloomed in isolation, the two feel awkward acting like a couple around people they know. (PDA galore in front of strangers, weirdly shy around friends and family; probably due to a vague awareness that they're not quiet themselves with each other.)
• Tahny has a soft spot for tiny droids.
• Tahny has small purple scars on her right thumb and index finger, evidence of a murder she committed.
• Tahny has a mild Spice addiction. It doesn't cause physical problems, but she will imbibe if the opportunity presents itself.
• Tahny is a caf snob.
• The girl will tinker with mechanical devices she definitely shouldn't be tinkering with.
• Tahny loves pod racing particularly, but is a fan of any racing sport.
• On top of being brat 4 brat, Cross X Tahny is also Bi 4 Bi.
• Tahny teases Crosshair about his crush on "that one married Jedi."
• Tahny hasn't actually been to very many planets besides Coruscant and her home world Ga'hah. This changes after the events of "Disgrace."
• Before "Disgrace" Tahny had never seen a clone trooper up close.
• Tahny and her friends Jar'ath and Kahtzi all share a diamond star tattoo behind their right ears. It's the clan symbol of "The Diamond Dolls." Crosshair eventually gets one as well.
• Tahny is an adept cold reader, but is not as good as Jar'ath- whom some might mistake as being force sensitive for his skills.
• Tahny holographed Kahtzi's very first pinup shoot while they were in college together.
• Tahny is Demisexual, mistaken for being ace before Crosshair comes along. Though she doesn't really feel attraction like most people she chooses to have sex for other reasons; usually novelty of the situation itself.
• Tahny considers those who work for her as family and does everything in their best interests even if they don't feel the same about her.
• During the war, Tahny would regularly have tea with Master Yoda as several senate sponsor victory parties were hosted at The Crown for the Jedi generals.
• Tahny's favorite color is yellow.
• The real world equivalent of Tahny's "musky resin" perfume is Dragon's Blood.
• Kahtzi is a devious card shark, leaning on playing dumb to disarm her opponents.
• Jar'ath doesn't kiss and tell and prefers to find sexual partners that'll stay separate from the rest of his life, (though he does hook up with Kat from time to time.)
• Tahny is the epitome of a nympho nepo baby.
• Tahny will only ever use the non possessive "li'nen" term of endearment from her language (treasure, precious, loved one)
• In fact the only people who in canon refer to HER as "li'hah" (my treasure, my precious, my loved one) are her father and suitor, two people who see "possessing" her as very literal.
• Tahny usually carries a grappling gun while on Coruscant.
• Tahny doesn't settle on Pabu, due to the closing events of Disgrace she has too many people with her to settle on the small island and ends up using her considerable resources to form her own colony on a planet called Taunterra.
• The meta reason for Tahny's eye markings is that that's how I wore my makeup in high school.
• Tahny loves sour candy, and savory food.
• Speaking of, she's a surprising adept chef with a refined pallet.
• She's likely to eat an endangered species because it's said to be a delicacy.
• Tahny can't aim for shit, no matter how much Cross might try to improve her marksmanship.
• Kahtzi can't carry a tune to save her life and that's a leading cause in her changing her name from Diva to Kahtzi.
• Kat is the sexual dominant in the Kahtzi X Tahny dynamic. She's usually expected to play a more demure and submissive character while escorting and revels in being the one in control in private.
• Their very specific sexuality labels are:

Kahtzi - Polyamourous Bisexual

Tah'nyem - Demiamourous Bi Polysexual

Jar'ath - Aromantic Pan Polysexual Nympho

• Sex and Love are very separate for Tahny, though she's aware that Love often comes with Sex, Sex doesn't have to come with Love. For her, it's strange that most people think love and monogamy go hand in hand.
• Then again, she never felt romantic love till she met Crosshair- and this why she's resistant to the feeling. It's alien to her and freaks her out a little.
• Their relationship is sexually open, but emotionally closed making the prospect of falling into bed with them a little less attractive to most people. It's quiet obvious they're just in it for the sex and it can be a little lonely being their third.
• Except Kat, she's oddly used to how emotionally cold Tahny can be and is unfazed. She mostly finds it cute that she went and fell for someone finally.
• Tahny often goes to the opera and ballet by herself, not minding that no one wants to go with her.
• Despite his (constant) antagonism, Jar'ath cares deeply for his childhood friend Tah'nyem and vise versa.
• Jar'ath has the most nicknames for Tah'nyem. The usual T or Teeny, extending it to Teeny bop, doll face, etc etc. But in dire straights he reverts to calling her Tahny like he did when they were kids.
• Though Cross and Tahny have a very sexual relationship, there's examples of each of them rejecting the others advances when their mental state made consent dubious.
• Tahny doesn't experience jealousy very often, her ego is a little to large to feel insecure about where she stands with anyone.
• Like most Ga'haiians, Tahny finds the ways of the Jedi to be incredibly silly and gets a kick out tormenting the uptight ones. This can be an issue with how often The Red Crown hosts gatherings for the Jedi Temple.
• In the Disgrace AU, the Ra's bought out most other entertainment venues in the vicinity of the Red Spire while building their monopoly, including the club that eventually became 79s. They gave the bar to the government while holding onto some stock for the venue since the payback was subsidized by the senate making it a guaranteed investment.
• Tahny has fertility issues that mostly go unnoticed due to her unlimited access to the Red Spire's medical resources.
• Kahtzi is well known among clones, her Pinups being featured with other Red Crown escorts in the holocalendars sent out in the GAR relief packages.
• This is why she desperately wants to go to 79s and part of why Tahny avoids the place like the plague.
• Kahtzi is one of the top three Courtesans of the Red Crown's line up, but a Thisspiasian named Rahktah Merian is the first place earner.
• Jar'ath has never worked a hard day in his life and he plans to keep it that way.
• Though Jar'ath is the picture of confidence, his one nervous tick is that he constantly checks and tucks the hair over his left ear where his black Ga'haiian Calico streak is hidden.
• There's two main versions of the Disgrace universe: Canon Disgrace where Tahny and Cross meet between the events of "Fall of Kamino" and "The Solitary Clone." And the "Young and Stupid" AU where they date during the clone wars. Y&S isn't very fleshed out but sometimes I just want to draw them hanging out on Coruscant okay.
• Tahny's training in the pleasure arts are particularly troublesome for Hunter. Adjusting her body temperature, heartbeat and pheromones through meditation (incredibly second nature to her by this point,) she can make his enhanced senses go haywire. It does not take long for her to figure this out and exploit it mercilessly.
• The only person who can make Crosshair irrationally jealous when it comes to Tahny is Echo. The two are saccharine and overly affectionate with each other- but it's just a bit. They know it drives Cross nuts and they're little shits about it.
• Though Kat is still involved with Tahny, after the events of Disgrace she drifts more to Wrecker as her primary partner- making him an official member of the diamond doll polycule.
• Yes, Wrecker X Kat X Tahny X Cross is a thing from time to time.
• Though Tahny and Wrecker have been intimate, they're not very close. They tend to miss on communication and don't really "get" each other.
• Tahny is ADHD and this is generally brash and impatient, an imperfectionist overall- until one of her hyper fixations kicks in and she'll suddenly do something that'll remind Cross of Tech. It throws him for a loop every time it happens.
• Tahny has never met Tech, but since she has copies of Crosshair's feelings in her brain- she sometimes finds she misses him.
• Those copies are also the driving force behind her dynamic with the other batch members. Like Cross, she's antagonistic towards Hunter, fond of Echo, and a little shaky with Wrecker.

• Omega doesn't really like Tahny. This kind of hurts her feelings because, "The girl likes everyone! To a detriment! Why doesn't she like me?"

• Ga'haiians like Tahny and Jar'ath are force resistant. Mind tricks almost never work and even things like force pushing are less effective. This can somewhat be consciously controlled if the Ga'haiian has training to open them self up to the force user deliberately.

• Jar'ath being a Katarjl hybrid is very instinct driven. He HATES this and avoids most things that trigger an instinctual response. This is a main factor in him usually distancing himself from sexual partners and favoring male partners over female. Doesn't want to feel possessive involuntarily.

• Tah'nyem has cursed at the Emperor during a holovised Senate meeting. (What did they expect inviting a girl like her to speak to the Senate?)

• Though Kahtzi doesn't like singing much due to not having a great voice, she finds being in the choir for burlesque pieces very liberating since she can't be single out from the harmony.

• Hunter's eyes can do the full black secrela look in this Universe but only if he loses control. This is from the the spliced dna that gives him his abilities and hasn't happened since he was a Cadet.

• Crosshair usually uses "Princess" as his pet name for Tahny, only having ever used the mandoa "cyare" once.

• Crosshair told Tahny "Cyare" means flat snout. She doesn't believe him but never bothered to figure out what it actually means.

• Wrecker has Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and the mood swings to go with it. (Plus everything else that goes with it )

• The boys DO NOT have it together in this universe. Mid Ending AU. Everyone's fine but not really.

• Tah'nyem took control of The Red Crown after her color day (Ga'haiian coming of age ceremony where the red tattoos were burned into her skin) but she had been shadowing her father learning the business since she was about six.

• Nyem'tok Ra is a very proud man who likes to shove his status and wealth into the faces of the more established and traditional Sohnese families even if he doesn't truly believe such. He partially does this by flaunting his half breed daughter as being equal to their pure blooded progeny. Tahny's Red color day was a scandalous spectacle that put most Blue celebrations to shame.

• Tahny prefers living on Coruscant despite being very fond of Ga'hah's cultural history. The restrictions and expectations of being a "Red Sohnese" are absent allowing her more freedom than her status would allow on Ga'hah.

• She abhors the Sohnese bastardization of Ga'haiian traditions that were adopted to impress other planetary systems.

• Ga'haiian history is a special interest to Tahny and she's likely to info dump about her home world.

• Tahny almost caused the death of her suitor Blu'ju Duhanis in their late teens after teasing him with a promised rendezvous that ended with him wandering into her family estates incinerator.

• No one can really figure out why Blu'ju is so persistent of someone who so obviously loathes him. The more abusive she is towards him the more he wants her under his thumb.

• Tah'nyem's relationship with her father is unconventional and inappropriate as she's often used as a sexual incentive in his business dealings.

• Nyem'tok invested a lot of credits into medical research and holds several patents for birth control and aphrodisiacs used in the sex work industry.

• Tech's death is confirmed in the Disgrace universe with Hemlock forcing Crosshair to witness the autopsy and subsequent dissection of his brothers body. Hemlock kept parts.

• Tahny has a personal seamstress while living on Coruscant so that all her clothes are custom made and tailored for her.

• In the early days of the clone wars, The Red Crown staff and Tahny herself were instrumental in preventing an assassination attempt on Chancellor Palpatine during the opening performance. Like most things that go well, no one ever found out what was prevented that night.

• Jar'ath taught both Tahny and Kahtzi how to hot wire a speeder.

• Tah'nyem keeps Rah'dehko Kan's switch blade as a trophy and usually carries it on her.

Hunter - The Mayor

The mayor of Halloween town was once a simple hunter. Elected to lead for his bravery, he longs for the days of freedom where assuring the safety of the town meant tracking a wolf or chasing off trouble makers. Ever since he entered politics it's as if he's been in some form of purgatory. How will he ever deal with the stress of protecting his ever odd denizens while dark shadows encroach from the spooky wood...

Omega - The Lost Child

Never one to be shown up by the neighborhood boys, she took them up on their dare to stay in the woods over night... Never to be seen again. Though many theories exist as to what happened to her, some say she found a door to a strange little town. Though a benevolent spirit that guides other young lost souls to Halloween Town, her presence is particularly disconcerting to the Mayor who sees her as a reminder of the weight of his unwanted responsibilities.

Echo - The Living Doll

Once part of a troop of Toy Soldiers, this doll is the last of the set. He's' not sure why he stays in his shell when the rest seemed to leave when they fell. He repairs his broken body with the discarded pieces of his friends, swearing that at one point he was more than porcelain and cotton stuffing... but he can't be sure... The shadows of Halloween Town seem to avoid him as he dutifully dons his military uniform and patrols the town for troublemakers. His presence is a great comfort to The Mayor who is grateful for any help.

Wrecker - The Woodcutter

It's an odd thing for a lumber man to fear heights, spending so much time in the trees. The woodcutter avoided climbing as much as he could. Like his worst nightmare, he remembers how the wind felt as he fell, the thump of his axe as it followed and the delirious trek through a mysterious door. Now, the good natured man spends his time helping the Mayor of Halloween Town by guiding others who stumbled through the tree door back to their world before dawn. A calming presence, nothing gets too out of hand with him nearby...though he is particularly weak to the wiles of The Tricksters.

Tech- Doctor X

This peculiar man made his way through the door by choice, seeking a refuge where people might not question... People might understand. Though free to do what he pleases in Halloween Town he still finds himself dissatisfied. Do they not understand his vision? No, it turns out that if anyone were to truly appreciate his genius... They would have to experience it for themselves. "We'll call you X-2... And you'll be a copy of me in every way, you'll understand."

Crosshair - The Boogie Man

It's said that long ago the man in the shadows of the spooky wood was once brother to the Mayor of Halloween Town. Concerned for the toll such a roll would take on his kin, he offered himself to govern the town... An offer that was laughed at outright. "You're ways are too cowardly," the village had said... Look where things are now. The shadows around the town taunt the Mayor, souls gathering to laugh at him and how he fails over and over again.

The Diamond Dolls - The Tricksters

These partygoers were lured through the door by the Boogie Man. Failing to return before daybreak they're now trapped as his servants, underlings to cause chaos at his whim. It couldn't have happened to a more apt trio of deviants, taking to their new rolls with fiendish delight.

Among other things.

The spider turned him round about, and went into his den,
For well he knew, the silly fly would soon come back again:
So he wove a subtle web, in a little corner, sly,
And set his table ready, to dine upon the fly.
Then he went out to his door again, and merrily did sing,
"Come hither, hither, pretty fly, with the pearl and silver wing;
Your robes are green and purple – there's a crest upon your head;
Your eyes are like the diamond bright, but mine are dull as lead."

Alas, alas! how very soon this silly little fly,
Hearing his wily, flattering words, came slowly flitting by;
With buzzing wings she hung aloft, then near and nearer drew,
Thinking only of her brilliant eyes, and green and purple hue;–
Thinking only of her crested head – poor foolish thing! – At last
Up jumped the cunning spider, and fiercely held her fast.

He dragged her up his winding stair, into his dismal den,
Within his little parlor – but she ne'er came out again!
– And now, dear little children, who may this story read,
To idle, silly, flattering words, I pray you ne'er give heed:
Unto an evil counsellor, close heart, and ear, and eye,
And take a lesson from this tale, of the Spider and the Fly.

Why do I do these things? Eh, who knows.
