Uhh Watercolor :) I Do Traditional Sometimes Too I Think Its More Fun Tbh

That screenshot where it looks like they are holding hands

i know that TCW depicts an easier-going anakin, but i'd really like more of him written as, like, a human grenade with the pin half-pulled, just unbelievably tense about nearly everything. having a conversation with him is like talking to an undersocialized german shepherd; he is anxious and that, in fact, will be YOUR problem. just an all-around testy individual, prone to snapping at people for asking questions or breathing wrong. but what i think would be really good is if there was such a visible difference when obi-wan's nearby that no one ever wants to give reports or make plans with general skywalker unless obi-wan's there to lighten the mood by saying some stupid joke, and the difference in anakin is pretty instant, it's like that chihuahua meme

Small painting for the Avatar AU, I will draw the other characters at one point I swear

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

Anakin gets traumatized

Bonus:

the trope where arthur makes a move on merlin, and merlin being the oblivious idiot he is, thinks arthur is under a love spell and literally SLAPS him and runs away to gaius is pure gold. whoever thought of this deserves a gold medal

arthur: *kisses his cheek*

merlin: 🧍🏻

arthur watching him run away:

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.
