"You Don't Know Me. I'm Not The Same Person Anymore."

i think the worst thing in the world is seeing two characters with something weird as hell going on between them and you think to urself "wow i love the weird as hell thing these characters have going on between them" and you open archiveofourown.org and find out everyone else thinks they would actually be in a very normal romantic relationship

thinking about anakin giving interviews during the clone wars and the most important thing - literally everyone else has tried to prevent this

the council has never asked him to talk to the media like haha no way big guy!! you're the brawn not the spokesperson! go do what you do best. obi-wan has moved mountains to ensure that it is always Him, and not anakin, who ends up cornered by the press and whose quotes end up in media publications across the galaxy. even ahsoka, after One Experience, knows that when the journalists turn up it's time to distract anakin immediately and take the interview herself if she has to

all this to say i believe in my heart that anakin has never told a coherent story in his life. anakin's storytelling style is just maximum adhd - there are side tangents, there are multiple asides, there are loops back to a thing he forgot to tell you about, and wait, better start over, but just gotta fill you in on this critical bit of mechanical engineering for a solid ten minutes first. not a single coherent tale has ever left those lips. he isn't betraying war secrets, but he is somehow wandering from "how's it going on the front" to "what happened under the tables at the last wartime propaganda gala" to a rousing tale of his years training under obi-wan that is cut off at its most interesting point and never returned to, no matter how much you prompt him

and for the record, obi-wan is immensely fond of anakin's storytelling. he's got the art of anakin interpretation down. there's always something unexpected clattering around that curly head, and a winding journey between Point A and Point B that never fails to amuse obi-wan. but neither he nor the rest of the galaxy need the famous general skywalker's foot rash that he got on a muddy battlefield and all of his subsequent boot-related complaints immortalised in print. the journalist just needs a quick, catchy soundbite to reassure the public that things are under control, not a detailed update on what-might-be-fungal-but-anakin-isn't-sure-yet

it’s really important to me when men put their heads in women’s laps. one of the most important things i can see on my tv. men laying their heads in women’s laps or men sitting and women standing and the man holds her around the middle and presses his face into her tummy as she hugs him around the shoulders. two very important poses. extremely soul igniting tableaux.

Sorry I cried wordlessly and motionless in your arms for like 30 minutes, that was probably scary. Can I still suck your dick?

We call it kirkwall fashion

"You don't know me. I'm not the same person anymore."

"That's okay. I'll get to know you again."

omg…

the kirkwall political compass

part of what makes tragedies tragic is the story being preventable from the outside but unpreventable from the inside
