#so he fully submerses himself into the identity of vader instead. allows the anger and hate to fester

#.................... i've got no defence for this one #started reading the novelisation of revenge of the sith and my love for anakin has come back full force #THE original problematic fave okay #0 note post incoming but i dont care this is for me and me only #im thinking about the fact he told himself he did everything he did for the sake of love #for the sake of a world where injustice would no longer be able to run rampant under the apathetic bureaucracy of the republic #only for him to get to the end of it all and realise he'd been manipulated right from the start #and in his arrogance and blindness. he'd allowed himself to lose everything he told himself he was fighting for #but he can't admit that to himself. can't admit he'd forsaken himself in such a way #he can't go back to being anakin because that means admitting what he'd done and facing his own internal consequences #so he fully submerses himself into the identity of vader instead. allows the anger and hate to fester #star wars #anakin skywalker #darth vader #quotes #literature #web weave #hayden christensen
