do you ever think damian looks down at himself and thinks that he’s bad luck?
do you think he notes how each time he’s finally gotten a parental figure they’ve left or died or forgotten him? how when he finally started to bond with bruce he got catapulted away through time and left behind thinking his father was dead? then how when he and grayson were finally comfortable with each other his father returned and richard left him for the circus? or perhaps how soon after he and his father truly started to understand each other because of ducard, after richard validated their partnership as the best he died, and how when damian was resurrected by a feat of pure love from his father his mentor was dead? do you think he remembers finally building enough trust with bruce to go and leave to fix his mistakes and how when he returns he wasn’t remembered at all? how grayson joined the parliment of the owls right after they reconciled in robin war? how as they reunited later, was pushed aside for the possibility of an unborn child when shawn tsang had her pregnancy scare? then shortly after how the happy couple broke up soon after grayson confessed he had felt like a father to him? or perhaps the fact that richard became ric right after wiping away his tears in the manor library and comforting him in the kandaq desert? do you wonder how he must feel as he realizes its happened too many times over to be a coincidence, and that the one connecting variable between them all was him? do you contemplate how he must clench his fists and have his eyes well up in tears, how his chest must heave and heart break as he comes to the conclusion that it’s his fault because he’s the only factor the tragedies all share?
because i do.
"came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.

Simple Plan recording the What’s New Scooby-Doo? theme song
Ahsoka *in the council room*: …So why are we here?
Mace Windu: I need to ask you - both of you - a favor.
Anakin: What? You need someone hurt?
Mace: No-
Anakin: Do you need someone to disappear? Because I can-
Mace: NO!
[Shot of Anakin, traipsing down the Temple hallways, wearing a flower crown and humming to himself] Obi-Wan: [being interviewed mockumentary-style] Yes, fortunately, I was able to convince Anakin to talk with me about his feelings and fears, and we were able to uncover the secret of the mysterious Sith Lord just in time, and destroy him. [Anakin, in the background, spinning with his arms in the air] …and now Anakin sort of can’t stop sharing his feelings. [awkward smile] Mace: [being interviewed] We really dodged a blaster bolt there. If the Chancellor had been able to turn Anakin to the Dark Side, and dismantle the Republic? Chaos. [shakes head] We owe Skywalker an enormous debt of gratitude. [sighs] So we’re…just going to have to deal with…this. Padme: [forcing a smile] Oh it’s been wonderful, being able to be more open about Anakin with everyone. And Ani, he’s…he’s just so…showy! The other day he sent a string quartet to my office. [obvious stifling mild irritation] While I was on a very important holo-call. Anakin: [approaching Mace] Good morning, Master Windu. [placing his hands on his shoulders] I just wanted you to know that you are wise, and powerful, and I admire you immensely. [embraces him] Mace: [grimacing] Skywalker, I’m very proud of you, but if you hug me again today, I am going to have to kill you. Anakin: [smiling serenely] Of course. May the Force be with you. [sticks a daisy behind Mace’s ear] [scoops Yoda up off the floor and carries him off on his back] Shaak Ti: [to the camera] Skywalker is…well he’s very…kind. He painted this for me. [holds up an amazing oil painting of Shaak Ti fighting battle droids] This is the 15th one of these he’s made for me. It’s…a lot. We’re all extremely happy for him, and grateful of course. But we’re glad we can still foist him off on Master Kenobi a lot of the time. Obi-Wan: [to the camera] Yes, Anakin is truly full of light and happiness now that there is balance in the Force. And he wants to tell us all about it. All the time. And after the war ended, he and I, you know, we finally sat down and had a very open discussion about our relationship. Then we didn’t leave our quarters for about three and a half weeks. [clears his throat] Anakin: [sitting next to him, petting his hair] You are a luminous presence in the Force, you’re the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen, and every time I look at your face I feel like I might die. Obi-Wan: [still looking at the camera, quietly] …thank you, Anakin. Ahsoka: [to the camera] Well, once things got back to normal on Coruscant I stopped by the Temple to see how everyone was doing. You know, I may not be a Jedi anymore but obviously I still care about them. I asked if there was anything I could do. [flatly] They made it very clear they’d appreciate some help with Master Skywalker. Anakin: [charging at her and lifting her into the air] Snips! [sets her down] You are bold, and brave, and I’m so proud of you that I can’t…I can’t… Ahsoka: OK, that’s not – Anakin: [bawling] I just love you all so much. I feel like my soul is going explode. Ahsoka: [hugging him and patting his back] OK…you’re…it’s OK. [looks at the camera helplessly]
