A Typical Conversation On Yet Another Council Meeting Regarding Anakin's Behavior

A Typical Conversation On Yet Another Council Meeting Regarding Anakin's Behavior

The Council: Young Skywalker keeps demonstrating that he's rude, arrogant and lacks any capacity to follow basic rules. He can't be bothered to do simple meditation exercises, he never pays attention to anything said and displays irrational emotional outbusrts. He's too impatient and makes strong attachments too easily, struggling to distance himself afterwards. It is not the jedi way, and the Council is concerned with continued problems Skywalker presents.

Obi-Wan: sweating, getting very red in the face of embarrassment for his very first, still very young padawan, and trying to come up with any excuses for this continued behavior, praying he won't fail Qui-Gon because of this, because he simply has no idea how to talk to Anakin to make him understand

The Young Skywalker in question: displaying very visible signs of multiple disorders and not understanding what is that and why is this happening to him, thinking that maybe one day with enough restriction and dedication and self-control he will be able to become the jedi everyone expects him to be

Skywalker: Sorry, Masters, it won't happen again...

Fully knowing it _will_ happen again, and hoping he will just be strong enough to hold himself together next time, and all times after that

I will never get over the fact that Luke hadn't had a single normal conversation with his father after he for 20 years dreamed about simply knowing this man

Breaking my heart over thinking how Anakin as a kid was such a bright, kind, and just caring child that wanted to help others, far too kind and nice despite being literally considered less than a person, and then he was groomed by the evilest man in the galaxy, became a monster, commited heinous crimes beyond comprehension, hurt and caused the death of the person he loved the most, then was constantly tortured for two decades by his groomer in ways that are literally impossible to accomplish on anything but a fantasy setting, and he still cared and loved his groomer, lost almost all of his own self and personhood. And then the only thing that made him break out of it was his son that he thought he killed.

Is so fucked up man, i'm crying here. I just...that poor kid, holy cow.

"Take pride in what you are."

Okay, how about something that isn't old and unfinished And also to the point of this page actually existing Sponsored by @just-an-awkward-rat and his ramblings about how original concept of Zootopia included predators receiving restriction collars on their 18th birthday, and their parents tried to turn it into a big special event, not something sad and horrible Welp, in my AU it's real special alright

Second version, think they go together nicely

I never understood the point of reposting anything, and now my new goal in life is repost everything I see with this tag

Writing Prompt #2784

"I make you feel...safe?" He balked at the idea. "You're sure? Me?"

"You seem all gruff and angry but you do honestly care about me. At least it feels like you do."
