Demons head Bruce feeling like he’s stuck behind everything. Like all this knowledge and memories he’s had forced on him are sitting in front of him and blocking sight of everything else. He knows too much, he can’t see past any of it, and it makes all the small things that mattered him before seem pointless, not when the knowledge of centuries from the Lazarus pit is inside him. But it’s still THERE. He sees jason crumbling in front of him and asking for him back and thinks- why does this boy want this so badly? He’s been part of the pit, too- doesn’t he get why this is right? Why is any of this bad? He sees his kids coming to Him over and over again, holding back tears as they try to talk about old memories, important moments, things he remembers but through a fog of glass that is knowing too much. And he knows that none of this matters really- why could these feelings matter when there’s so much MORE? But these kids are so persistent, and so sad, and they’re his kids, and he knows there’s a part of him that felt those feelings too, at one point. And he realizes he wants to try to understand why. Sure, he knows and understands so many things now- why doesn’t he understand those feelings anymore? Should he?
Yes, to all of this.
anakin does not have a neutral perspective
Made a tumblr acc so I can finally publish this stupid thing. Couldn't be prouder of myself.
Btw this is something that definetly happens after btsv.
tag yourself
Everyday I think about an AU where Anakin becomes Vader and takes on the role of The Father, and Luke and Leia become The Son and The Daughter, except Luke is the light and Leia is the dark.
Every. Damn. Day.
There is some legends content that plays with this theme, but not the concept specifically. And the concept is my favorite part. The three of them living in this dimension between worlds, a place that IS the Force. Please-

Those things are *ancient* to him
Just another nightmare… Qui Gon help me.
