anyway who else is now thinking about that clone with his face... blown off? burned off? blastered off?
cause he felt a hand on his and he reached out... did he know who that was? did he think it was maybe a brother, and then discover it was his commander? did he know it was her and still reach out for her?
i'm... yeah. the jedi and the clones, man... jedi and clones.

Overall I'm pleased with Ahsoka
Could things have been better? Surely.
But Overall, it was entertaining! The castings were great! Ahsoka and Anakin moments were making me lose my mind! Thrawn is so freaking cool in every scene. Ezra grew up and maintained his dramatic boyish charms. Sabine fights with every weapon in her arsenal, in hand, at all times, and I love her for it. Hera and Chopper are still hitting it up with the Republic in their own Rebel Brand way.
I'm just happy to see these characters again 🥰
(Honestly I'll watch anything that has Ahsoka or Ezra in it. The two Rockstar padawans of their respective shows. They are very dear to me.)

Rewatching The Clone Wars and thinking about THEM
I don't know when it happened, but these two became the heart of Star Wars to me.
Rex - A ten year old boy speed grown and trained to look and act like a twenty year old man (who looks closer to forty thanks to the terrible animation of the first season).
Ahsoka - A spunky fourteen year old girl who thinks she's ready for war from day one.
In their first interaction, Ahsoka tries to establish their dynamic, assuming that because she is a Jedi and he's a clone, she outranks him. Sadly, she's not wrong. But when Rex tells her his opinion that experience outranks everything, she accepts his reasoning, and eagerly jumps in to gain experience so she can earn her place.
Jump forward three years and they have become equals in every sense. Their friendship and mutual respect for each other is unshakeable. This is what the best relationships are built on. They are timeless. Years filled with pain, hurt, and loss can stretch between them, but when they see each other, they pick up like not a day has gone by...always holding each other up.

So Far Away: Part 1
Okay I keep reading the fics where Fox is named Dar’Vod after the Fives incident
And it keeps running in my head but imagine:
Rex, in the heat of his anger, calls Fox dar’vod and that’s the last he’s ever spoken to Fox when he’s alive
Their friendship is ruined and Rex, despite regretting the words, doesn’t try to fix the relationship and Fox throws himself into his work to avoid Cody’s prying of what happened
Well, the empire rises and Fox dies by Vader’s hand and Rex survives - guilt-filled - because Fives was right and he doesn’t know if that meant Fox was under the chip when he killed Fives or not and he never got to make amends and figure out the truth (and Rex knows it’s his fault and it’s just another burden added on that he’ll have to carry)
What I’m saying is: Fox stuck in a limbo, unable to march on because being named Dar’Vod means he is unwelcomed
And all the Vod’e - those who have died or are dying - pass him as they go to the Vod’e
Most All have tried to free him, tried to redact the title
Cody, most of all when he died, stated that the title was never meant to be given and Fox should be able to March on and yet when a barrier separates him from his vod’ika, he screams
Even Fives tried coming back to remove the title - talking with Fox for hours about he never blamed Fox for his death but still Fox cannot march on
It’s only when Boba (who died an unfortunate death by Vader earlier than he was meant to and knew a bit more of traditional Mando culture than his clone brothers) tells them only the person who gave Fox the title can remove it
And so the Vod’e wait
They wait and watch as more Vod join them
Echo (which was a cheerful reunion for the Domino squad)
Hunter (who got shot protecting Omega)
Omega (who took it upon herself to off herself to prevent the Empire using her - first thing she did was punch Boba for leaving her behind before learning of his unfortunate death which still makes her mad but not as much)
Howzer
Thire (the last of the Corries to have died but he gave a hell of a fight)
Bacara and Neyo
More and more and it dwindles to only four clones left
Gregor comes first, cackling and the 212th rejoice his return
Wolffe follows and he gets his Wolffepack back
Rex is stubborn though
He clings to life like it’s all he has, searching for the last clone because he refuses to leave a brother behind
Ahsoka helps him where she can, pointing him in directions that she can vaguely feel Kix but she has her own battles
And Rex searches
And he remembers
And regrets
And says his remembrances
He always includes Fox in his remembrance because while he was young in the war, time has brought a new perspective to their life and he knows that Fox was young too
Young and under the thumb of Palpatine
And so he searches and remembers and regrets

Clones as expectant fathers
I am an actual nero-cancer researcher. I have a job and a degree. And my ADHD brain saw sad military men and went “I want that one”
Clones: Rex, Wolffe, Fox, Cody and Fives
CW: pregnancy, the clones all have a ‘secret’ SO, They are expecting a baby, A little angsty with Fox, there's slight mentions of smut with Fives (if you squint), swearing, this is just supposed to be a good time, its not reader insert
Minors do not interact!
Rex
Terrified. Also overjoyed. But mostly terrified. 
He’s a soldier. Captain of the 501st, the most….adventurous of the GAR. His chances of dying on the battlefield and leaving his SO behind are higher than the average clone
And now he may leave behind his child? His kid may grow up without a father
He gets nervous. Anxious and antsy, and it's very VERY easy for Anakin to figure out Rex isn’t entire OK
Rex doesn’t even need to tell Anakin.
Skywalker takes one look at him and just KNOWS.
“Congrats, Rex.” “...on what, sir?” “If it's a boy, name him after me.” “WHAT!?”
Ahsoka needs to be told and she’s more excited than Rex when she finds out. 
“Come on Rex! Name them after me! The republic needs an Ahsoka jr!” “And if the baby is a boy?” “Don’t name them after skyguy, please!”
Most of the 501st don't know. Too many people knowing raises the chance of less accepting individuals knowing. And if that happens, Rex, his SO and his baby may be in danger.
It’s forbidden for the clones to have SO’s, not to mention babies. It could end with Rex being decommissioned or reconditioned if it was found out he had both
Rex will visit and help as much as he can every chance he gets. He feels terrible for leaving his SO for long stretches of time during the pregnancy. 
He WANTS to be there…he just can’t. Not while the war was going on
Despite his terror, Rex is…overjoyed
He didn’t think children were possible for him. He knew it could happen, but he didn’t think HE would ever know this happiness
The first time he feels his baby move in his SO, he’d get this sweetest smile on his face. He’ll kiss the baby bump and just murmur words of love in mando’a
He falls head-over-heels in love all over again
As the due date approaches, Anakin asks an important question
“Captain, I need to know when your baby might be born.” “...why, sir?” “Because I need to know when to take extended leave.”
Anakin tells Padme, and she is beyond sweet. Even visits Rex’s SO and the two have a wonderful friendship
All in all, Rex is both excited and anxious. But having so much support from Anakin, Ahsoka and Padme (and his other brothers who find out much later) helps him a lot
Wolffe
More relaxed. And by relaxed I mean he hides his anxiety better. And it doesn’t exactly hit him as hard
Partly because Plo Koon and the entire Wolfpack knows about his relationship already. 
So you bet your ass the pack celebrates when Wolffe tells them he's going to be a father
Plo Koon especially is excited
“How wonderful, new life being born during times of war” “I’m not naming my child after you, general Plo.” “Nonsense! The child will be a girl.”
During battle, Wolffe finds himself being protected by his brothers and General a tad more
At first he writes it off as a coincidence, but then Boost lets slip during a battle “You gotta get back to your little one!”
He gives his men a bit of a lecture. He’s not incapable of fighting or defending himself. He thinks the message gets across but Plo chimes in with, “Ah yes, the stern words of a father already!”
Wolffe would probably see his SO more frequently than Rex. Just because Plo would more than likely spend more time on Coruscant.
He’s definitely protective. As in, waking up in the middle of the night to check all the windows, protective. Keeping an arm around his SO, protective. Every symptom or sign of discomfort he calls a medical droid, protective.
He’s not stupid, he is well aware that by having an SO and a child on the way he's in violation of several rules. All of which, when broken, would have him decommissioned
But dammit, he's not letting that happen. Wolffe will be there for his SO and his baby, no matter what
Since he’s able to spend more time with his SO, he’s there to feel the first movements of his baby.
It sort of causes him to short-circuit for a second. It hits him that yes, this is a life that he and his SO both created. Out of love.
Wolffe makes a swear that he’s going to protect his baby at all costs
Grandpa Plo does as well, but the Wolfpack doesn’t know that
Fox (kinda angst)
First of all congratulations to the SO for actually managing to be Fox’s SO
They got to be something special for the head of Palpatine’s personal guard to break rules and regulations and find himself an SO
Speaking of Palpatine, congratulations to Fox! Your SO is now in even more danger!
No, seriously. Palpatine knows before Fox. No one knows how, but he knows.
And he absolutely will use Fox’s SO as leverage to keep him under control
And Fox knows this, so he behaves. More so than usual.
He’s not blind. Hes fiercely loyal to the republic, but one step out of line and the (very few) things he cares about will be killed
Which…is why Fox may come across as cold or uninterested when his SO informs him of their pregnancy
A part of him is terrified, he just won’t show it
He’s not going to be more affectionate or anything. He actually acts pretty normal. Which is standoffish.
Despite his…demeanor, he actually manages to be present for the entirety of the pregnancy. It helps being a Coruscant guard, which means he’s more present than all the other clones.
He’s not moving mountains or anything, but he’ll get snacks in the middle of the night in case of cravings
No one else knows about Fox and his SO. not even his own men. He refuses to tell anyone. 
Its for his SO’s protection
But Palpatine, the sick fuck, slips some words to get Fox’s nerves into overdrive
“This war is taking such a toll. So many dead children…so many grief stricken parents” “Sir?” “Oh nothing. Just stating the fact that the loss of an innocent life, such as…a baby, is always a tragedy. Wouldn’t you agree, commander?”
He found himself walking home a bit faster that day and hugs his SO a little tighter that night
Fox cares, in his own way. He’s just beyond stressed and anxious. But you wouldn’t know. He hides it behind a mask. 
It's actually Padme that finds out. And she feels somewhat bad for Fox. She thinks his anxiety comes from the fact that clones aren't allowed SO’s or children
Which, it is, but theres the added threat of fucking Palpatine.
She ends up getting him to tell her the truth and she swears to secrecy. Even offers to hire his SO as some sort of assistant, if only so Fox can be closer to his SO
Hear me out, he actually breaks down when he feels the baby move. He can’t fully handle it anymore and shuts down. 
This is a baby. His baby. They're alive and already so loved.
Something in him clicks and he accepts Padme’s help. 
His terror gets easier, ever so slightly. But he keeps his collected and calm front.
Cody
“General Kenobi-” “Ah! Commander Cody! Congratulations!”
goddamnit.exe
Cody is a tad more relaxed than Rex, but more tense than Wolffe
He knows Kenobi isn’t going to punish him or force him back to Kamino for decommissioning, he’s still a little on guard.
But, since Kenobi knows, Anakin does. So does Ahsoka. Which means Rex knows.
goddamnit2.exe
More people in the 501st know than in the 212th which gives him the biggest headache
Waxer knows though. Cody had to tell someone that wasn’t a sarcastic general
He does a good job hiding his worry though
Cody is able to spend about the same amount of time as Rex with his SO
He doesn’t feel as bad as Rex when it comes to the lack of presence he has during the pregnancy
It's war. It sucks and he’d prefer to be there for his SO, but he’d also prefer SO and child have freedom from the separatists
I will say, he is pretty attentive when he isn’t off in space.
Foot rubs, shoulders massages, helping with cravings
One thing Cody does is that he’ll wrap his arms under his SO’s baby bump and lift it slightly, giving his SO’s back some relief
He really loves to do this because his SO just melts
Hear me out, Cody gets giggly when he feels the baby move/kick the first time
His palm is on the bump and he feels that first little flutter against his hand
404 Commander Cody has his amygdala broken from joy. Reboot?
He’ll actually tell Kenobi about it because he’s so happy.
“That's wonderful Cody, but I still question one thing.” “What is it, sir?” “How you managed to get laid to begin with.”
Goddamnit3.exe
Fives
“Hey everyone! I’m gonna be a dad!”
Ecstatic is not a strong enough word
Also not subtle at all
There is a solid 3 hours until everyone in the 501st knows
He’s told Echo before the first hour. Rex knew within 2 hours.
Fives is BEYOND over the moon
He gets this small smile on his face that just doesn’t go away
Whenever he’s not with his SO, he definitely calls them every day. He wants updates on the little one
Also, seeing his SO with a baby bump? Unlocks something inside his brain.
Fives is incredibly horny when he’s with his SO. He’ll be rubbing their middle and getting a puppy dog look in his eye.
Only if his SO is in the mood of course! He’d never try and be forceful
He’s probably the clone that takes the distance the hardest. He debates taking a ship and making a run for Coruscant on more than one occasion.
In the end he settles to ask Anakin for extended leave.
Anakin is also extremely happy for Fives. Like with Rex, he makes a “name the baby after me” joke
Fives brings that up to his SO and nearly gets smacked. He also makes a “Fives jr.” joke and actually does get smacked.
When Fives feels the baby kick, he gets high on happiness. Actual mumbling incoherent words of love and affection in Mando’a
Lots and lots of “Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum”
He also gets very VERY affectionate with his SO
Kisses his SO’s face a lot. Even as a greeting, he’ll just start peppering their cheeks with pecks
Also probably the only one ballsy enough to ASK his general for extended leave
“Excuse me, general Skywalker? I’ll need to take leave at this date.” “Oh, yea sure. You know what? That seems like a good time for all the men to take a break. Thanks, Fives.”
He’s also probably the only one ballsy enough to actually take his new born baby onto a fucking battleship to introduce everyone.
“This is your uncle Rex. This is your uncle Echo and your uncle Tup. That's your auntie Ahsoka!” “Fives what the FUCK are you doing?!” “Introducing the family, captain.”

In light of what Filoni has said in interviews about Anakin and the way he represented Anakin in the Ahsoka show, it makes a LOT more sense that he had Rex be so fucking positive about Anakin in Rebels, despite the fact that Rex is relatively neutral about Anakin in TCW. Like he respects Anakin, sure, but there's very VERY vanishingly little to indicate any real friendship between them or anything that would lead to Rex gushing about Anakin at every available opportunity and comparing every other Jedi to Anakin NEGATIVELY.
So I am choosing to de-canonize that for myself because I don't think it's in character for Rex and while it's just as frustrating that Ahsoka is Filoni's Stanakin mouthpiece, I almost find it MORE frustrating that he used REX as his Stanakin mouthpiece, too.
So it didn't happen. Not for me. Not anymore. If and when Rex is ever told about Anakin's actual fate, he's disappointed and betrayed, sure, but not heartbroken or shocked either. Anakin was always reckless, ruthless even, something of an unpredictable wild card depending on the day or the situation. And Rex is one of the VERY few people who knew the truth about Anakin and Padme's relationship, so I feel like it wouldn't be surprising to hear that Anakin went full darkside to save her.
And one of the reasons he bonds so much to Kanan and pushes Kanan so hard is because he actually does LIKE Kanan. He sees in Kanan the kind of Jedi that Rex had always WANTED to be able to serve, the kind of Jedi that the other clones had been able to serve. Maybe he sees a lot of OBI-WAN in Kanan and he'd always liked Obi-Wan more than Anakin anyway so there's an instinctive trust towards Kanan because of that association, even if Kanan doesn't extend that same trust back yet. Kanan has promise and potential explicitly because he's NOT like Anakin at all.

I believe Anakin would have truly thrived outside the Jedi Order not because being a Jedi was impossible for him but because the Jedi Order of his time lived a way of life that just wasn´t for him.
Anakin loved to take care and love his mother and the other people who lived on Tatooine as a show of his goodness. He didn´t think those expressions of love he learned from his mother and the only thing he could allow himself as a slave could ever be wrong, he wasn´t owner of his body or his life but he could own his actions and be happy for the people he helped.
The Order teached control of self and emotions and the force which is great but also emotional distance from friends and family(even they lowkey did this between masters and padawans) which was something alien to Anakin who believed there was nothing wrong in showing open love, friendship or care for family and friends.
In this scenario it wasn´t hard for Palpatine to show himself as Anakin´s emotional support when he was a young kid and obi-Wan thought it was wrong to treat Anakin differently to other padawans but Anakin wasn´t ever accepted as part of their community, he was too different, leaving Anakin isolated from everybody in the Jedi order since he was a 9 year old.
So training with the Jedi Order was good for his force control but very toxic for his mental estability, knowing his mother was left a slave for him to be made a Jedi only added guilt to this already bad circunstance. If he had grow up with Shmi or bassically any family who showed him open care and had the opportunitny to rescue his mother from slavery he would not have become Vader and he would have thrived even more than he did on Tatooine as a slave or during the clone wars as a general.
This is also why I believe Leia and Luke thrived by having a loving family growing up and later by having a strong community of like minded people in the rebellion who loved them openly and saw them as examples to follow, who actually managed the impossible.
This is why I don´t believe comparisions between Luke, Leia and Anakin are fair because yes, Anakin did fall and he is responsible for his own actions just like Luke and Leia became heros for their own will and actions but then again, Luke and Leia never had to deal with slavery, isolation/rejection from their caretakers, lack of emotional support and a snake as their main emotional support since they were young kids. I don´t know if they had fallen under those circunstances as well but they definitely would not be the same people they became.
I just love the three of them and wish there was a what if story in which all of them along with Ahsoka, Shmi and Padme got to become a family. Still love Star Wars as the tragic story of this family.

ANAKIN SKYWALKER
Platonic & Romantic Headcanons – Yandere
WARNING: abuse of power, fantasy violence, stalking.
Based on Clone Wars Anakin.
Tumblr media
PLATONIC:
Anakin has tasted loss one time too many to treat this bond as anything other than a closely guarded treasure, one that he will break a great many rules to prolong. But the restrictive Jedi Order takes every opportunity to remind him: "The Jedi Code comes before friendship". Be that as it may, Anakin considers them family and will now guard them with his life.
If his friend claims someone is harassing them or Anakin witnesses what he considers blatant disrespect, he offers to straighten out the problem in a way that seems like a joke but is deathly sincere.
Once the offender suffers a mysterious injury or sudden change of heart, Anakin cannot resist making a cheeky remark that arouses the suspicion of all who hear.
Obi-Wan senses his burning resentment towards the person and confronts him about harbouring forbidden attachments, which Anakin only proves by denying with such fervour.
Chancellor Palpatine enables this volatility, pushing Anakin to take whatever extreme measures he feels necessary to exact justice, no matter how much it alienates him from the other Jedi.
If properly motivated, he will defend his friend's honour with a barrage of lightsaber strikes, cruel for a Jedi, or blows with his cybernetic fist at the hapless fool who crossed the line that day.
The attack ends when he feels he has made his point and not a second sooner, not one punch less, because Anakin is not afraid to beat some people to death if he is not stopped or given a powerful incentive to restrain himself.
For lesser offences and when the object of his wrath is out of reach, Anakin practices passive aggression. He secludes himself in storerooms to tinker with various machinery, lies about his troubles to anyone who asks but Padmé, and later demands that this offender be shunned and distrusted by his colleagues.
Anakin lends his Padawan Ahsoka Tano a disturbing insight into the brunt of his protective fury when his friend comes under fire, whether from battle droids or Republic officials.
He does his best to limit their role in missions he deems dangerous, and his voice of determination to expose and punish the culprit rings out after a threat falls upon them.
He proclaims their innocence in the face of accusations and rages at those who doubt them. Obi-Wan cautions him to have better control over his temper, but Anakin is outspoken about how absurd he finds the charges and will not rest until he has dragged the serpent who wants to scapegoat his friend into the light.
Until the rightful culprit from whom he wrings a confession is dead or rotting in prison, a cloaked menace that assaults and interrogates their known enemies besets the galaxy's underworld.
Criminals are Force-choked left and right, while Chancellor Palpatine feeds Anakin's darkest urges after he storms into the Senate Building in search of guidance and validation.
Anakin will not hesitate to take the leaps no one else will when it comes to the special people in his life, and if his friend is a fellow Force user, he will abuse his ability to monitor them in this way.
Anakin sees this as ensuring their protection from a hostile world hell-bent on making good people suffer, no matter that his retribution against those who try their luck with his friend grows worse with each passing day.
His perception of them holds more value in his eyes than their true nature. Even if they show a spiteful streak or manipulative tendencies, Anakin has long since convinced himself of their admirable character and springs into action to help them whenever possible.
Perhaps he trusts them to make the right decisions after fighting together in the war, but Anakin tends not to think twice about the morally questionable actions they take on or off the battlefield.
Palpatine notices and exploits Anakin's willingness to bend and break the rules for someone, pulling some strings to put Anakin's friend in perpetual danger. He uses his network of cronies to force Anakin to make uncomfortable choices, such as sacrificing the life of another for his friend, which strains his other relationships and reflects poorly on the Jedi.
ROMANTIC:
Every time some piece of scum manages to wound his partner, Anakin relives the agony of his mother's death and drowns in the fear that he will once again fail to save those closest to him. This desperation drives him to steamroll over entire battalions and lay waste to anyone who tries to dispute his right to act, Jedi or Sith.
For Anakin, losing another person he holds dear is far more frightening than any punishment the Jedi Order could mete out.
Suppose he is indicted on war crimes or threatened with expulsion from the Order for leaving a trail of severed heads and limbs on his unauthorised journey to rescue the partner he is not allowed to have. In this case, Anakin calls the Jedi Council blind for not seeing things from his perspective and understanding why he had to defy orders and cut down that Separatist sympathiser.
Chancellor Palpatine informs Anakin that the Council must not trust him if it disregards his argument so thoughtlessly. On the other hand, he commends Anakin's resolve to fight for his emotions rather than against them.
Palpatine even encourages him to follow his anger to its natural conclusions when he spots his partner in trouble, which nurtures further conflict in Anakin as the Jedi Order insists he does the opposite.
Anakin believes he is partly responsible for his mother's death. He blames himself because, as his guilty conscience tells him, he left her behind to pursue his own goals and returned only with weakness and insufficient urgency to help her.
As a result, Anakin struggles with the lingering paranoia that he will make the same mistake twice when he cannot readily locate and confirm his partner's safety.
On the battlefield, Obi-Wan is one of the few people who can successfully talk Anakin out of putting the entire mission on hold until he finds them.
On starships, clone troopers obey without question when General Skywalker gives the order to leave the room while he tortures a prisoner of war for information on their whereabouts and health.
Between missions, Anakin reaffirms that he values this relationship above all else in the galaxy, even promising to abandon the Order if his involvement in it becomes too great a hindrance.
He fights for his comrades more than he fights for some grand peace, and if the options are honouring the Jedi Code or keeping his partner out of danger, Anakin will maim and intimidate his way to victory.
In his younger, more impulsive hours, he gave little thought to who might see his brazen displays, rushing to embrace his partner after long separations.
As the war progresses, he grows more adept at hiding his affections from the stoic eye of the Council, even though his frustration at this leads him to arrange secret meetings and become increasingly defensive towards anyone who suspects the truth.
Of all his confidants, Anakin trusts no one more than his partner, but Captain Rex is a close second. Respecting his orders to comb the area whenever they stray a little too far from Anakin's field of vision, Rex does his part to watch over one of his commander and friend's favourite people.
Captain Rex makes no judgements of his own, though he does mediate between Anakin and other Jedi who might tell Anakin to cut his losses.
The clones under his command are not inclined to rebel when Anakin orders them to round up the populace he believes is involved in his partner's disappearance.
Some troopers may be a little shaken when he starts strangling civilians with the Force until someone gives a lead; however, their training has taught them to follow all orders, even if it means raiding buildings and dragging people to face an enraged Anakin.
Too sick of the Council's deception to subject Padmé to the same backstabbing treatment, Anakin one day broaches the idea of bringing a third person into the relationship.
He pretends not to have anyone specific in mind so that he can dismiss it as simple curiosity, only to betray his eagerness when Padmé asks for details. She wants to see him happy, so she agrees to Anakin spending more time with them.
However, Anakin applies a double standard: he would never tolerate Padmé or his partner being interested in someone else, let alone inviting that person into the relationship. This takes time and attention away from his emotionally starved self and implies to his abandonment-fearing mind that he is not good enough.

It’s been over half a year since I did a set of STAR WARS fic recs that weren’t pairing-focused, but I have been reading fic along the way! And sometimes you want fic that’s not about ships, no matter how much you love them, sometimes you just want to read about friendships or you want to read some cool worldbuilding or you only want the plot, and Star Wars fandom has been lovely about that. Hell, sometimes you just want to cry about how much you love the Jedi and you want to share that affection with other people, through the incredible experience of telling stores about them, like they were trying so hard and they were right about so many things and they were dying for years to try to help the galaxy, and teaching about how emotional regulation is good actually, and sometimes you want to show that through the disaster trio and sometimes you want to yell about how good Mace Windu is and sometimes you want to love frog grandpa and sometimes you want to get into a fistfight to defend Luminara’s honor and sometimes you want the whole Order sitting down to a family dinner and sometimes you want fic where Anakin and Mace actually get along and so many other things! So, here’s a collection of some excellent fic that I think most people should be able to find at least something to enjoy, whether you’re looking for fun disaster lineage shenanigans or heartbreaking pain because Star Wars Is Pain or some awesome Jedi Order worldbuilding or some all too rare Mace Windu Appreciation fic, I HOPE YOU ENJOY. WHAT KIND OF FIC YOU’LL FIND HERE: 
FICS THAT PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE WITH HOW GOOD THEY WERE
CANON-COMPLIANT (MOSTLY, UP TO A CERTAIN POINT, WHATEVER) DISASTER LINEAGE

Council gathers to eat mooncakes. ✦ Straw Dogs by Cymbidia, obi-wan & jedi & cast, 2.9k    An old Jedi Master imparts some wisdom concerning Mercy, Balance, and the Will of the Force to young Padawan Obi-wan Kenobi and a gaggle of other younglings.

I AM A PREQUELS ERA BITCH AND I’M MAKING THAT EVERYONE ELSE’S PROBLEM: ✦ netanalo by js71, cal & tapal & rex & fives, 2.4k    The Senate had sent a child to see into the past. A Padawan, Ahsoka’s age, not much older.

Do you think Thrawn being “exiled” was traumatic? I mean, his people, whom he saved, decided for ‘political reasons’ that he was too unpredictable and in order to protect their own agendas they decided to get rid of them.
That’s rough. Like, really. Thrawn’s continued loyalty to them could almost be seen as a type of indoctrination actually. He cannot fathom an existence for himself that is not tied to the preservation and protection of his people. He is being controlled.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, but it’s set up perfectly for Thrawn to have a character arc where he realises that there is more to life than making yourself a servant of people who don’t appreciate you. We know that Thrawn has the capacity for friendship. Let him find people who matter. Let him find a new cause. Let him find meaning.
Or not because he’s a machine apparently and ‘maybe the Empire can help’ is the limit of his character. (I miss when Thrawn actually came up with solutions.)
Thrawn’s lack of growth is particularly evident in the Ahsoka series (god I wish that show wasn’t canon) because you really do wonder: Why is Thrawn still here? Why the fuck does he think the Empire can still save the chiss? The Empire is gone. Does he know the current status of the Ascendancy? Shouldn’t that be his priority?
These aren’t even cracks anymore; his initial motivation is in pieces. It makes no sense.
Who the hell is this guy and what is he doing?
I’m left to conclude that Thrawn post-Treason has fully just lost his mind because what even is the point. I miss ascendancy trilogy Thrawn so much.

I just finished the clone wars now I’m curious how would Yandere platonic anakin react if his friend he knew fromHis Padawan days , left the order ?
I'm not done with the Clone Wars series so sorry if you imagined this taking place at the end of that series- but I have seen the first two prequels which were his Padawan days. I hope what I have down will work :) Sorry this took months to make- I kept it a bit general so there isn't many spoilers for the series.
If things are too OOC, tell me how to improve as I am really new to Star Wars! I'm sorry if I trigger the Star Wars fandom with my lack of knowledge :(.
Yandere! Platonic! Anakin Skywalker with Darling who leaves the order
Pairing: Platonic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Violence, Desperate yandere, Mutual friendship turned forced, Overprotective yandere, Displays of Anakin's corruption, Manipulation, Murder.
Tumblr media
For this concept the identity of your Master doesn't really matter.
All that really matters is they probably knew either Qui-Gon Jinn or Obi-Wan Kenobi.
This way you would've met Anakin Skywalker at some point.
Anakin is a very emotionally driven yandere.
In fact this is why he goes to the dark side as Vader eventually.
He tends to get too connected to people, which makes him a danger to others.
Ahsoka, his Padawan, and Padmé, his girlfriend/wife are good examples of this.
Personal connections are forbidden within Jedi.
That never really stopped Anakin from forming close connections, however.
In this concept you are another example of Anakin's emotions driving him.
The friendship between you both is really close.
Your Master was allies and maybe even close friends with his.
As a result you had become well acquainted with Anakin.
While Anakin held romantic feelings for Padmé as a Padawan, he felt he could let loose around you.
Anakin never liked the uptight rules of being a Jedi.
He didn't like it due to many reasons, such as the restrictions on relationships and just... angsty teen reasons.
You two met in your teens and while your Master got along with his, your Master felt Anakin would corrupt you somehow.
You were always warned to not take on Anakin's behavior as your own.
Yet you were more concerned with just relaxing and training with your fellow Padawan.
As with all of his close relationships, Anakin was always very protective over you.
Even during training he didn't entirely like he idea of going all out on you.
Although when you ask for it he relents just so he can say he 'told you so' .
You two share such a strong bond.
Nothing romantic, just one of best friends, maybe even siblings despite you not being related.
Both your Master and his thought your fate with him was intertwined with his...
Yet they dreaded the fact they weren't quite sure how.
Training with Anakin in your Padawan days made you both skilled Jedi.
By the time of the Clone Wars you had matured similar to him.
It surprised you when you learned Anakin had taken in a Padawan, Ahsoka.
You tease him about it sometimes, which causes Anakin to playfully swat at you to stop.
When Ahsoka asks about you Anakin reminisces about your Padawan days with each other and explains you are a friend.
A friend he doesn't think he could live without.
Then there's that fabled day.
The day Anakin got one of the most devastating pieces of news he'd think he'd hear as a Jedi.
You, his closest friend, wanted to leave the Jedi Order.
As the Clone Wars continued on... you decided to rethink your decision.
Your master had passed in battle and you felt a bit alone.
Sure, Anakin was still part of the Order and you could function on your own without your Master... but that wasn't the only issue.
There's reasons and ways a Jedi can quit the Order.
It's not like you can just ask to leave, however.
You are a young Jedi with no wounds that affect your combat ability.
Maybe you had differing beliefs from the Council and Order?
Maybe you had personal connections of your own like Anakin and wanted to leave to pursue those....
Either way you most likely want to go rogue or something and turn your back on your duty.
Something Anakin doesn't approve of, for selfish reasons.
He tries to talk you out of it.
He meets up with you and accuses you.
He admits he loves Padmé to you in private but keeps it secret. If you loved someone too then he suggests doing the same!
He even accuses you of abandoning him.
Does he not matter that much to you!?
He's your best friend! He cares for you!
Yet you want to abandon him your duty?
All of these words are hypocritical and you can sense it.
You two most likely argue heavily, causing your friendship to rift.
In fact, maybe you leaving the order is one of the factors that pushes him to the Dark Side due to his emotions.
He begins to blame you when you leave and go into hiding.
Anakin doesn't understand why you left at first.
Although part of him begins to when he starts giving more and more into the darkness within him.
Anakin may even begin to blame the Council and Order itself for you leaving.
Perhaps even the Republic, too
Ahsoka notices her master has a change in behavior after you left.
He's even more moody than usual.
He's... vulnerable, too.
Ahsoka notices he's trying to be stoic yet feels sad.
Devastated, actually.
Padmé no doubt tries to help Anakin through it.
He's worried for you.
When you were in the Order he was confident he could watch over you.
Now he's sent into a state of constant worry as he can't sense you.
How far out did you go?
After you left the Order you most likely don't meet Anakin for a long time.
He makes it a goal to find you again.
Maybe you meet him when he was still known as Anakin, he can sense you with the Force if he manages to get close to your location.
When he senses you with the Force then he no doubt hunts you down, abandoning any mission he was sent on.
It would be by chance but if he does meet you still as Anakin then he clings to you.
He missed you... he's always missed you.
He wants you to come back with him where he can keep you safe, you refuse.
He doesn't care how long it takes... he's going to try and coax you to stay by him once again.
You're supposed to support each other!
Ever since your Padawan days you've been by his side with a smile.
Why not now?
WHY do you fight him?
Why is he only able to take you with him after he's beaten you in a duel?
Why do you treat him as a monster... he's your friend!
A friend who refuses to leave you alone when you don't wish to be found.
If you had a family of your own there's no doubt Anakin would slaughter them.
He's corrupt and clearly has it in him to kill as he's done so before due to his rage.
After all, your family took you from him.
With them gone, you have no choice but to come with him.
Ahsoka's left horrified when she finds out what he's done.
Anakin doesn't care.
Now it can be just like old times between you.
Then there's if you meet him much later, when he's Vader.
Jedi are his enemy, yet when he meets you all alone...
He remembers you.
He knows you most likely aren't part of any side in this new war, since you left you aren't evil.
He actually praises you for leaving the Republic at least, maybe you knew something he did not?
He doesn't kill you, he spares you.
When you ask why... he says it in the best way he can.
"It's me... Anakin."
No matter how you cross paths again, be it with Anakin or Vader, his goal still stands.
He's found you...
He won't let you ever abandon him again, even if it costs you your life.

Clone Wars headcanons that have been rotting in my google docs
I like to believe that Padme teaches Ahsoka how to make friendship bracelets and she treats it as something sacred and spends an unholy amount of time making some for the people she cares about 
Master Plo gets the first one, Obi-Wan gets the second, Rex Cody and a couple of their boys get some more, Padme of course gets one, and Anakin gets one last 
The reason he was the last to get one is something Ahsoka will never admit out loud but she honestly wanted to take her time with his
And because of that Anakin permanently has a work of art on his wrist like everyone’s is gorgeous but his is something else entirely  
He thanks her truly and honestly thanks her and promises to keep it forever 
When Ahsoka jokingly calls him for breaking the orders rules he comments back “When have we ever listened to those rules” 
He keeps his promise too that bracelet never leaves his person 
He’s lost clothes lightsabers and even a couple of prosthetics but he always makes sure to go back for that bracelet
He eventually repays the gift in kind with a bracelet of his own 
It’s not the best made or pretties thing but Ahsoka can feel the love that was put into it so she makes the same promise he did years ago and keeps it too 
When the twins are born Ahsoka makes them both friendship bracelets 
At first they are small enough for their tiny wrists but she adds onto them as they grow older 
Ahsoka tears up when she finds that they all kept the bracelets she never thought they’d toss them or anything but seeing them decades later does hit her hard because they’re all in perfect condition 
Padme loves to “kidnap” Ahsoka whenever they have the time 
She’ll just request her protection on a diplomatic mission 
Sometimes it is an actual mission but Padme will still make time to take them to her favorite restaurants or cafes so they can have a little bit of downtime
When the war ends the tradition continues even tho everyone knows Ahsoka’s not really there as a security escort 
I find the visual of Anakin and Padme telling Ahsoka, Obi-wan, and Rex they’re married fucking hilarious 
Both Obi-Wan and Rex would try to act like they’ve been fooled truly they do but it all kinda breaks when Ahsoka asks “Wait we weren’t supposed to know?” 
Anakin is just as confused when he asks “What do you mean Soka? How could you have known?” 
And that’s when Ahsoka just starts laughing hysterically and it doesn’t take long for Obi-Wan and Rex to join in when he asks again all Ahsoka says is “Really? Kriffing look at you two” and doesn’t add much else 
Both Luke and Leia try to replicate Ahsoka’s face markings with various levels of success 
They often ask their mom for help and she’s always happy to do so Ahsoka gets filled with unimaginable amounts of joy when she sees her niece and nephew trying to look just like her 
Anakin often jokes that of course he’s not the favorite even in his own home like she’s not the first name that comes up whenever babysitting is on the table 
It’s also not a surprise that both Ahsoka and Obi-Wan become the twin's space equivalent of godparents 
It seems like a necessary precaution all things considered 
Neither of them takes the role lightly but they also vow that it won’t be needed and they do everything in their power to make it so 
After most missions it is very rare for Anakin to let Ahsoka and Obi-Wan out of his sight 
Ahsoka never fights him on this and is perfectly happy to stay by his side and sleep in the living room like they often do 
Sometimes Obi-Wan is called away for a meeting with the council and can’t stay with the two but that doesn’t stop him from joining them later on in the night even if they’re asleep 
Anything beats sleeping in his cold desolate room after some of the more dangerous missions 
Sometimes they’ll go a step further and call Padme just to check in with her and have her on the line as they watch some stupid rom-com
After some of the rougher missions it wasn’t uncommon for Ahsoka to pass out due to the physical and mental strain 
It also wasn’t uncommon for Anakin to give her a piggyback ride back to the ship 
He finds that people shoot him less looks when he’s carrying his padawan instead of holding her in a death grip and not letting go until it’s time to leave 
A lot of people thought they’d grow out of this habit but no it’s a trend that stays throughout their lives 
It just so happens that Ahsoka grows tall enough to return the ongoing favor  
It also didn’t stop at the battlefield either 
Sometimes Anakin would find her passed out in the archives or he would get a message that she was asleep in a friend's room 
And he’d always go to get her because what’s he gonna do leave her there? 
Sometimes when Ahsokas babysitting the kids Anakin will find her in a position that Obi-Wan often told him about 
Sitting in front of the TV with the twins curled up at her side 
And while Padme deems it her job to carry the twins off to their room Anakin takes his long-time role of carrying Ahsoka to hers 
(Because if you think she wouldn’t have a room in their house you’re crazy) 
Anakin always knew Ahsoka would grow up that’s just a part of life and how the universe works 
But nothing can describe the feeling of her growing taller than him 
Envy isn’t what he feels no matter how much people suggest he does sadness isn’t either it’s something deeper than that 
Bittersweet is the closest word he could find because after all there’s nothing quite like watching your younger sibling grow up

Obitine Headcanons no one asked for
Satine has straight hair. Like...chronically straight hair. Won't hold a curl to save her life, but can sometimes appear to be wavy when taken out of a tight updo. She lives for those moments.
Korkie wasn't conceived on the Year on the Run. (it takes a bit of canon manipulation but what else is fanfic for?) Instead, he was conceived shortly after Qui-Gon passed sometime during the early grieving process for Obi-Wan before he jumped head into the waters of training Anakin. (fic is currently IN PROGRESS because I have a lot of emotions tied up to this headcanon of mine hehehe)
Obi-Wan didn't tell Satine that he was still alive post Rako arch, she found out through the holonet because DRAMA *tears*
They absolutely had to pretend to be married at SOME point in time during their Year on the Run, because I NEED that and they would be RADIATING newlywed energy (or old married couple energy lolololol)
Satine never mentioned Bo to Obi-Wan because she was 100% under the impression that her sister was dead before he came into the scene.
Obi-Wan doodles his name as the Duke of Mandalore when he gets lonely and daydreamish (which rarely occurs once Anakin enters the scene lol)
Obi-Wan 100% made many visits to Mandalore inbetween him rekindling his "friendship" with Satine and Ahsoka's Korkie arch. I mean Korkie even says that off-world weapons were banned after the last time he visited...somebody write THAT visit lololol
Obi-Wan and Korkie have met...and Satine was torn between chewing her fingernails off in worry and banging her head against the wall for how oblivious the two are for not even seeing a very obvious likeness between themselves.
Windu ships them. It's one of the very few things Anakin and him can set aside their differences for to gossip about.

My Top 10 Favorite Examples of Character Notices a Kid, Asks "Is anyone gonna adopt that?" and Doesn't Wait For an Answer (whether or not the kid is in need of actual adoption is not relevant information).
1.
Tumblr media
Spike and Dawn. Probably the first example that ever caught my heart. Will I ever forgive the writers for ruining the friendship between the vampire and his Nibblet? Survey says 'No'.
---
2.
Tumblr media
Alec and Madzie. HE LIKED HER GILLS. SHE TRAPPED HIM IN AN ELEVATOR SO THAT SHE WOULDN'T BE FORCED TO KILL HIM. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?
---
3.
Tumblr media
Anakin and Ahsoka. Or as I only and ever remember them: Snips and Skyguy. He gave her all the tools she needed to survive him and I'm going to cry about it forever.
---
4.
Tumblr media
Trixie and Mazikeen. Also known as the Demon Zoo Keeper and the President of Mars. Totally the reason Maze got that first spark that let her grow her own soul. I pity the first person who breaks that kid's heart.
---
5.
Tumblr media
Kenzi and Tamsin. Don't you just hate it when a character spends days raising the rapidly aging Valkyrie through her newest childhood and then has weird mom-feelings for the millennia old Dark Fae? I ask because I don't. I think it's THE BEST.
---
6.
Tumblr media
Penny and Don. When a character admits to being a smuggler straight to the captain of a spaceship to save the life of the kid? Instant older brother acquisition acquired. Penny go get your parents, there's a new Robinson that needs to be adopted.
---
7.
Tumblr media
Maleficent and Aurora. That unfortunate situation where one curses a toddler to fall asleep forever on their 16th birthday only to end up loving that child like a daughter and being unable to break her own curse because 'no power on Earth' can do it. Oh how the turntables turntable... 🥺. And how I just EAT THAT STUFF UP!
---
8.
Tumblr media
Crowley and Warlock. It's kinda sad how much I love this one considering there's like 5 minutes of on-screen interaction. BUT I love the angst potential of Warlock having felt abandoned by his Nanny Ashtoreth and coming across Crowley and just... recognizing him on sight.
---
9.
Tumblr media
Din and Grogu. Must I explain this one? Even putting aside absolutely every single adorable interaction... just the sheer comedy of going on a galactic 'get this kid some parents... oh wait... I'm parents?' road trip? Iconic.
---
10.
Tumblr media
Steve and... all the kids, every single one of the kids, I mean it, Steve and the whole set of the kids. Recipe for world's best babysitter - 2 tablespoons shitty advise, 1 cup protective instinct, 1 ¾ gallons nervous breakdown and a car trunk full of bats with nails.

I was talking on discords VC with someone about this, but the episode where Ahsoka disobeys orders and gets a squadron of clones killed would have been a great opportunity to develop her friendship with Rex.
First, gotta complain bc apparently she apologized to yularen for disobeying orders and getting those people killed rather than like. Any clone, which would have been more appropriate in general. But imagine Anakin's already chewed her out and she takes it upon herself to go apologize to Rex as well, because he would have known those clones and they were his brothers. And she approaches him in the hangar.
What we see is Rex from behind: helmet off, talking to some other clones. Ahsoka asks if they can talk. Rex puts his helmet on, and we can see from his body language that he's upset.
Ahsoka apologizes for disobeying orders and getting those clones killed. She feels awful, clearly, and a forced camera angle here would make her appear very small compared to Rex.
What's even more important those is Rexs response: he doesn't say anything at first. His hands are behind his back, he's definitely looking at Ahsoka, but we can't see his face. It's clear he's angry. So when the silence almost gets long enough to be awful, Rex speaks
He says, very slowly and carefully, "this is why we follow orders". Ahsoka tries a little to defend herself by saying that she really thought they could make it, and that Anakin had disobeyed orders and been successful.
Rex says Skywalker disobeying orders because he knows what he's doing and Ahsoka disobeying orders because she's copying Skywalker are two different things. Ahsoka apologizes again. She says she should have been more careful with those men's lives.
Rex says, "those men were my brothers, commander". The tension leaves his body. The central conflict here is that Rex has a lot more he wants to say and express, but he can't for two reasons: as disastrous as this was, Ahsoka outranks him and he can't chew her out the way Anakin would be able to. Second is that she's a kid and she's learning, so unleashing everything on her wouldn't actually help matters at all. Their entire friendship I think should be characterized by this confusion between age and rank and experience.
Ahsoka needs to fail in order to learn, but when she fails it means Rexs brothers die. He's more aware of this than she is even early in the war.
