Dogma & Eesha

||Caption written by my dear friend the lovely @eclec-tech, who also inspired a ton of Sirenian culture/lore!||

I was starting to wonder how long Eesha’s hair would have to be before Dogma figured it out! Let me explain…

Eesha is one of Pabu’s most talented artisans. She makes jewelry from the shells, pearls, and undersea treasures she and her people find while out swimming around Pabu and sells them at the bathhouse her parents run. Eesha and her people are Sirenia, Pabuan natives as at home on the island walking as they are in the water swimming. But Dogma wasn’t walking or swimming when they met.

He was sitting.

Dogma went through a lot before he came to Pabu. First that Umbara nightmare, then the time he spent in the labor camp before he and—well, that’s a story for later. When he came to Pabu, his brothers wanted him to know how much they appreciated everything he had done, so they commissioned Eesha to make him a special necklace. They wanted it to be a sort of medal for him. According to Jesse, Dogma’s face went through half the galaxy’s holoemojis before they were able to convince him that he deserved it.

So, when Eesha walked on the beach one afternoon to find the necklace she made being held by a trooper who could only be the one the boys all thought deserved a medal, she stopped to tell him, “That, uh, necklace you’ve got there is really quite striking.” She let him go on for a while about how exquisite it was and the dedication the artist must have for their craft, but she eventually confessed that she was the one who had made it. According to her, his jaw dropped. I wish I could have seen it!

Dogma and Eesha became instant friends after that. Somewhere between exploring the island together both in and out of the water, movie nights, sick days, being co-parents to Beaky the pterosaur, and talking about things neither of them ever thought they would share with another person, their friendship turned into something much deeper, like what Case and I have. Eesha even started growing her hair out, and that’s where their story gets funny!

Women in Eesha’s culture keep their hair short while they are romantically unattached and only grow it long when they are in a committed relationship to show that they are “off the menu.” My friend Aiko is also Sirenia, and I was there when she and Kix were talking about her hair being long because she grew it out for him. Dogma was there too! He even asked questions! But did he clue in when Eesha’s short and always goes-where-it-wants-to hair started becoming *long* goes-where-it-wants-to hair? No! He was completely oblivious!

It looks like he finally put two and two together and came up with…well, two! 🥰💜💕

It’s another Clone Shirtless! This time it’s Clone Private Dogma. Decided to try two styles with this and whatnot. One in my normal sketch style and one colored in greyscale. A mini rant below

Pretty pretty please can I have a Dogma and a Tup :)))) Just them hanging out and having fun before all the horrible things happened? Pleaseeee?

TYY!! And of course! Tup and Dogma deserve happy times!

I know I said no backgrounds but i had to do something with this because it just felt so empty..

Dogma: Tup, do I have to do this...

Tup: yes. Now shut up and smile.

I love these two so much it's a problem.

Lacey Dogma Commission for @insertmeaningfulusername

Dear @aknightreaderr kindly allowed me to record her Fanfiction "Ain't no party like a clone trooper party!" for this fitting occasion.

It had to be a fantastic but absolutely chaotic Party (and Padmé definitely needs to rebuild her apartment now) because Denal sent me two Screenshots of their chat 😅

Idk if "talked about it" means a verbal or physical spat... probably the latter If we go with Kix' report. At least they had good music!

You want to know more? Listen for yourself:

Podfic: Ain't no party like a clone trooper party

I had so much fun recording this (this is the first podfic I recorded with a new mic 🤩) and thinking about how I might bring this to life!

@featherquilt1988 it was your reblog which caught my attention and resulted in this special edition, so Vor'e!😉
