here’s my worldbuilding hot take for the day: the whole “Miraluka veils” thing is not, in fact, an artifact of their own culture (because that makes no sense to me whatsoever), and came about solely because other species are so often unnerved by their lack of eyes.

Miraluka as a whole started hiding their vestigial empty sockets in order to facilitate relations with other species, since it turned out to be an easier solution than just telling the entire rest of the galaxy “get over it.” There are, however, groups of Miraluka that do in fact refuse to wear such garments out of defiance for often-Human-centric norms, as a borderline-political statement to challenge the idea that one should try to appear as “Human-passing” as possible just because other species won’t make an effort to move past their biases. Such groups are contentious in some areas, and largely ignored in others.

In private, among other Miraluka, and oftentimes among friends, Miraluka will frequently remove the veils/masks for comfort. The rare non-Miraluka individual who visits Alpheridies is often shocked and unsettled to realize that the veils/masks are a courtesy to other species which is usually discarded on Miraluka-dominant worlds and ships, and is forced to either adapt to a sea of eyeless faces or end up leaving the planet.

(Supplemental headcanon: Miraluka clothing, architecture, etc. often seems incredibly bland and boring to sighted species - because it’s not crafted with sight in mind. Dyes and paints are a completely foreign concept to Miraluka. Art and decoration is instead based largely on texture and shape, and clothing is primarily functional (warmth, physical support, carrying items, etc.) with the texture and weight of a textile valued instead of its color.)

Y’all ever seen those people who are so mad in love with dogs they bum-rush every one they see with no regard as to whether or not the dog is comfortable with the attention?  I’ve got a 80lb rescue mutt who’s like that with people.
