My Unshakeable Headcanon Is That Anakin Was One Hell Of A Firesetter, Because Kids With Histories Of

my unshakeable headcanon is that anakin was one hell of a firesetter, because kids with histories of abuse and humiliation seek any kind of control and firesetting is a common fixation, and also it's extremely funny considering he will be burned grotesquely by lava later, really there's no downsides to babykin setting the curtains on fire. but i'm sure the heartbreaking psychological implications of this behavior are entirely lost on obi-wan, who received a clipboard of documents, a nine year old, and a, "good luck," so obi-wan is just convinced anakin has some sort of adrenaline complex. as such, he spends all his time spgoogling (space googling) "how to relax boy" and this is why i think obi-wan and anakin's early years are a situational comedy; because i have a tendency towards gallows humor, and i think every possible behavior anakin could have enacted that might communicate, "i have psychological disturbances," can, should, and must have been wildly misunderstood by literally everyone. anakin (aged speleven, space eleven) quietly asks, "do you ever think about dying?" and obi-wan spits out his tea and goes THAT'S NOT A VERY FUNNY - JEST - JESTER SAYING - COMEDIC LINE OF THOUGHT - YOU DON'T GET TO PILOT THE SPEEDER ANYMORE! it's not that obi-wan doesn't dearly love his small arsonist, it's that pretty much everyone sucks at speaking the language of traumatized children.

It's always "the Jedi failed at this," "Anakin should've done that," and never "Darth Sidious is so good at his job, he deserves to get Sith Lord of the month."

i’ll say it til the cows come home but as undeniably strange as the star wars prequels are, george lucas’ direction with anakin was downright fucking inspired. people were waiting for whatever badass backstory lucas was sure to give them, awaiting a naturally intimidating actor with rogueish charm to be cast, waiting for this masterpiece of badass villainy or whatever, and george lucas is like no, no, i’ve got you. and then he finds the one man on the planet who looked babier than baby mark hamill and says, “his main personality trait will be being weird and awkward, secondary personality trait loving his wife, tertiary personality trait being incredibly good at murder, and all of these traits will do battle on the silver screen for three movies until they all win in possibly the worst way.” that fucking rules. george lucas could’ve done anything with darth vader and he willingly, enthusiastically chose mentally unstable college student who is somehow married but his only friend is his kind-of dad. that fucking rules, top down, that’s fucking exquisite. if you don’t think that premise is inherently entertaining you’ve got no taste

Just a reminder to people damian doesn't like killing he has a breakdown after killing Goliath family and gets physically sick at the sight of dead children

It's something he was forced do in the league of assassins

Tired of people mischaraziting him in fanfics as a selfish and spoiled brat especially on the spoilt part damian was abused for most his life how is he spoilt and who spoiled him

Damian himself admits to being abused
