*Sighs in Xelayan*

This is a scene from Season 2, Episode 9 of The Orville.
Among the Orville's Xelayan security officers, Talla Keyali has replaced the rapidly sarcopenic Alara Kitan.
The Krill are devoutly religious followers of their god, Avis.
The Kaylon now vow to exterminate all biologic species in this galaxy.

not a mini one

shes like an Xelayan

Watching this episode of The Orville which takes place on the Xelayan homeworld, I find myself admiring the trees and just how valuable that wood could be on any other planet.

Yeah like a xelayan

Two amazing ladies played superstrong Xelayan Lieutanants: Halston Sage as Alara Kitan and Jessica Szohr, whom you guys probably know from #GossipGirl, as Talla Keyali. LOVED THEM BOTH SO MUCH.

The Orville, Ja'loja.

Alara: I'll have a double...
Olix: Double Xelayan tequila. Here you go.
Alara: Oh, boy. Am I that much of a lush?
Olix: Uh...haha.

ORVILLE OCS UPDATE:
-Aravelle's name is now Vayala Katt-Closerman! she is also now half human, but i wanted to give her a more xelayan name
-the ship is now the uss gloster canary

Many came to mind.... Xelayan from the Orville, Goa'uld from Stargate, Delvian from Farscape, etc etc

So I thought I'd go old school.... Barsoomian white ape by Edgar Rice Burroughs

The Orville, Identity, Part 1.

Kelly: Everybody seemed to have... fun...at the party.
Ed: ... What was that Xelayan drink Talla was making?
Kelly: I don't know, but I threw up.
Ed: I threw up, too.
Kelly: You did?
Ed: Yeah. Should've called me. We could've thrown up together.
Kelly: Next time.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you.

Who's coming to save you?

They might not be the most professional of crews, but I think they'd save me. And then we'd all laugh about it over a glass of Xelayan tequila and scotch.

Legit about to write so much femslash smut for The Orville, like idgaf. I need Talla and Kelly to scissor or something. But fr we needed a lesbian Xelayan with a human gf who gets her bones broken and is like, "haha it isn't that bad!" and then internally bleeding.

Another Xelayan???? I already don’t like her. I want Alara back

The Orville

[sexual abuse mentioned]

there's already a published one on amazon but they don't talk about the things important to MEEEEEEEE (kaylon sexual abuse implications, disability in xelayan society, etc)
