Hi. Here is my atrocity. Plus some very unneeded detailing without the actual detail.
Baptisia, on the right, symbolizes protection and is a butterfly host plant (butterfly amulet reference kind of). Violet, on the left, symbolizes faithfulness and modesty. Sunflower seeds, at the bottom, symbolizes good luck and loyalty. Specifically in the seed form since Xiao is kind of going incognito. The Qingxin flower is just there as a nod to your writing unless my memory failed me again, in which case I'll just put it as a nod to his character detail. Also I am not a digital artist so it looks terrible and the composition is like that because I thought of the flowers after I drew Finch! Xiao and could not be bothered to redraw him so I dotted them around him. How do I know I'm not great at drawing? I spent 11 hours on this very simple concept and managed to add very little detail.
yooo!!!!! he’s so!!!!
the details of the flowers you chose and the seeds being seeds because he’s undercover i’m- he’s! so!!
i applaud the time spent and thank you for your valiant efforts. i am sending you a virtual warm meal and a glass of crisp ice water
I FINALLY WATCHED EP 5 ANAKIN IN CLONE WARS ARMOR AHHHHHHHHHH.
also. i was talking about his characterization in ahsoka compared to in the clone wars w my friend, and we were like “idk anakin in tcw wasn’t that intense” which true BUT. in tcw we rarely see anyone but obi-wan or someone anakin already doesn’t like push back on him. like ahsoka in tcw would always be up for the joke. but then here she isn’t. and anakin gets PISSED. and i think that’s actually such an apt characterization like he’s fun until he’s not. he’s super fun in tcw bc ahsoka loves him and her introduction to how war is is with him, so yeah joking on the battlefield while clones are dying next to them is fine that’s how it goes, it’s not callous or disrespectful, it’s war. but then ahsoka in ahsoka, who’s been at war for years on years and has had time to reflect on her experience and is just older now, pushes back. she says “that’s not funny, why are you joking here??” and anakin turns immediately. and i think that’s such an important thing to see here, like anakin is fun until he’s not. he’s fun until you tell him no, and then he’s dangerous. it really highlights his immaturity, particularly his emotional immaturity, as well as his desperation to be absolutely loved and adored. if the people around him don’t play ball or if they’re not amused and loving and accepting always, then he’s pissed, they’re doing something to hurt him, they’re being unreasonable and cruel. he can’t accept a perspective that’s not his, and i think that scene really bridged the gap between tcw anakin and prequels anakin. like we see him funny and nice in tcw because ahsoka plays ball. we see him intense and brooding and scary in the prequels (esp rots) because obi wan and padmé and the council don’t.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
