Thinking About Anakin Giving Interviews During The Clone Wars And The Most Important Thing - Literally

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

ok i hope this works and i don't fuck it up, thanks for the tag @revoleotion

3 Ships I (currently) like:

Obikin. They cause me a lot of pain but I haven't stopped thinking about them. Even better if it includes Padmé.

is it boring to say OCs? Eh, FenRaven, leaving them out feels wrong. Recent dnd sessions have been. great. not devestating at all. I need them to be happy.

let's say Cullen/Dorian. They're always on my mind, especially the way you write them @revoleotion. They deserve to have their sweet gay cottage life. I have to continue the Lästerstunde text to write them being gay actually.

First Ship Ever:

that's a really good question. I liked the couples of my favourite books when i was younger, so...those? Specifically Lola and Alex from the Lola series? But I can't remember the first ship I was really obsessed with

Last Song You Heard:

Stella by Cereus Bright apparently? Since I got my new phone I haven't downloaded any of my playlists again except my liked songs and have rediscovered some good songs because I don't typically listen to this playlist a lot

Favorite Child Book:

I have more than one and I can't decide at all so here I go (I checked and I don't think there are english translations of some of these so these are the german titles.)

The Lola series, specifically the third, sixth and seventh. Seventh was probably my overall favourite, I read that so many times. I should read all of them again tbh

Liliane Susewind. I was obsessed with these. My favourites are the penguin one and the one where they get snowed in, I loved those. The horse one had such gay energy so it also has a special place in my heart.

Magic tree house! also the penguin one for this.

Die Zeitdetektive. I liked the second one the most

Currently Reading:

nothing, but i want to read "This is how you lose the time war" soon

Currently Watching:

weirdly nothing really? Just started Downtown abbey with @revoleotion but it's not really in my mind as 'currently watching' yet

Currently Consuming:

nothing, but it took me embarassingly long to make fried potatoes for lunch today and it wasn't even enough so I had to eat some applesauce too and I'm still hungry

Currently Craving:

anything! Food! And I don't even have any snacks.

actually your chai latte @revoleotion

I know one (1) person on this platform and that is the person that tagged me, so i don't have anyone to tag sorry
