#Shriv Suurgav

I casually explained the cause of Bane's modulated “accent” in Stars Above and then promptly forgot about it.

Headcanon:

“So, ye've gotta lil' problem on yer hands, dhen?” Bane feigned interest to keep his potential employer entertained, his voice tinged with a certain air of sinister directness, words laced with an accent that was commonplace among his kind; his vocal cords vibrated in a unique way, even though he spoke in Basic. Duros' epilaryngeal tubes were naturally more narrow; it took practice to not slip up, as this language was not his first.

OK, SO.

I have already talked about how I think Duros use cutaneous respiration, absorbing oxygen through their skin and also the slits beneath their eyes where their olfactory organs are:

“Cutaneous respiration, or cutaneous gas exchange (sometimes called, skin breathing),[1] is a form of respiration in which gas exchange occurs across the skin or outer integument of an organism rather than gills or lungs. Cutaneous respiration may be the sole method of gas exchange, or may accompany other forms, such as ventilation. Cutaneous respiration occurs in a wide variety of organisms, including insects, amphibians, fish, sea snakes, turtles, and to a lesser extent in mammals. It also occurs in reptiles."

That is not to say he doesn't have lungs, he definitely does (Cutaneous respiration may be the sole method of gas exchange, or may accompany other forms, such as ventilation), but this may just be the way that Duros absorb oxygen, as it is obvious he doesn't have a nose, and these organs beneath his eyes must be slit-like or nearly microscopic, as we have never seen them, even with the mask off.

It makes sense Bane can breathe from the same place he can register smells, BUT, Cad has a different accent in Clone Wars than he does in The Bad Batch, and I felt this would be a fun way to explain it. The leading theory was it was due to the mechanical breathing tubes he sounds this way; his voice is modulated, BUT, Duros in Battlefront 2 ALSO SOUND LIKE THIS. And to me, Durese sounds a lot like Huttese.

I tend to think this ALSO sounds modulated, as stated above, therefore maybe it has something to do with the functionality / " cranial edge of their larynx."

Found in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America:

A hypothesis was presented: The shape (length and diameter) of the epilaryngeal tube in nonhuman mammals is related to morphological parameters (vocal fold morphology, larynx size, body size) and parameters characterizing the species vocal repertoire (repertoire size, maximum sound amplitude, fundamental frequency range, occurrence of nonlinear phenomena). Preliminary results indicate that the length of the epilaryngeal tube is a poor predictor of repertoire characteristics such as maximum sound amplitude and fundamental frequency range. However, species with a prominent epilaryngeal tube produce a large proportion of high fundamental frequency call types.

Basically, what if Duros had NARROW tubes? Thus, this is the cause of the way they sound. It doesn't have to do with the BREATHING tubes being physically down his throat - the breathing tubes provide extra oxygen in the case he is force choked and his normal air pathway is blocked, therefore increasing intake through the scales/slits - it has to do with the actual shape, and "morphological parameters" of the Duros as a species.

The accent itself is the accent of the Descent Ghetto, or the accent of the last of the Duros who populated the planet before escaping to the orbiting way stations to avoid the pollution of their dying home world. That's just how it comes out in Basic.

As Bane spent more and more time around sentient beings, he possibly began to lose the accent, or he chose to undergo vocal training, most likely in the privacy of his hideaway, and needed something or someone to use as an example. Maybe he also has to train himself to relax his throat, which is entirely possible.

Now let's say he hates holomovies, but the only ones he can stand to watch are the westerns. Maybe he liked the style of the old cowboys, too. ;D I think you know where I am going with this.

This may also explain why Shriv doesn't have an accent, but he does have a lisp. He may or may not have been raised on Duro around other Duros, and he may have spent so much time around humans or other beings who speak Basic that he just talks normal and not like a Duros at all.

It should also be noted Bane slipped up once in the latest episode of the Bad Batch. There was a line that @allsystemsblue pointed out also sounded like his old Clone Wars way of speaking. This proves to me he mostly “got rid of it,” but still slips up on occasion, and most likely especially when emotions are high, as his epilaryngeal tubes are still narrow. It is a part of his morphology.

BONUS (found after the fact. seems to me, I am right. ;D):

I saw drawyourocrebloging's banner and I couldn't help myself. I couldn't find the OG source, but if anyone knows who made the thing, I'd be happy to edit this post.

So Jango felt it necessary to continue Boba's specialized training. Bossk is very game, Cad can't say no, Hondo is freaking and cheesing out, and Shriv is in a constant battle of how he got there but either way he is helping.

Todo, bless his precious heart, has saved the most valuable trophy of all, Boba's helmet.

Boba is just very happy dad's still around. Dad is also very happy he's still around. They're all happy Jango's still around.

This is for that mix of other's in your masterlist @sinisterexaggerator

Fucking a Zabrak and a Duros at the same time would be great temperature play.

I was greeted by the Duros fandom, with a group hug gif. This image popped into my mind. From Left to Right: @a-big-hat (Cad Bane), @fel-vinks, @norath-kev, and @one-desperate-duros (Shriv Suurgav) Then I drew more silly Loth Cats. It's bugging Todo. @renek-bane said "Bane got a job finding someone's lothcat. Todo has to babysit it." lmao!

Shriv Suurgav and Another Alarm

A little something for the lovely @sinisterexaggerator. Thanks for being the absolute best ♥️

Color pencil on neutral paper. I wanted to try a new lighting style, basically like an alarm is going off and half his face is illuminated by the red light. Moderate success but I’ll take it.

I finally got around to playing the Battlefront 2 campaign and I'm a Shriv simp now

#did i play the game just for Shriv? #maybe #was it worth it? #absolutely #i love him so much #shriv suurgav #officially added to my duros collection #star wars battlefront 2 #star wars #sw #sw:bf2

[sinisterexaggerator]

I was finally able to unpack my toy collection!!

This is just the beginning of my room set up. I plan to get a cozy chair added, curtains, an area rug, make a collage out of all this other Bane and Hondo art I have, get a separate cubby for Lego builds, and frame a few more comics!
