Hey, so I’ve never really asked anything on here and I’m not even sure you’re still answering requests AND I’m super shy but! - I kind of had this thought running through my mind the whole day so here I am asking:
Do you think Anakin ever removes his cybernetic arm? Would he ever be comfortable doing that in front of anyone, maybe a significant other? How would that play out?
I love your blog and would be stoked to read your thoughts on that 💙
Honestly I haven't done a request in ages, but I actually do have a lot of thoughts on this so heres a hc list!
~ I think when Anakin has a rough day or a quiet day, because I think he has quiet days where he doesn't want to talk too much, you can probably find him tinkering on his arm. He likes to see if he can get it looking more full
~ That said, I don't think he wants it to look flesh, like Luke's does later on in the series. Anakin is a mechanic, he loves all things cyber, and I think he probably loves fiddling with it and showing off his work. He'd probably laugh and say he even prefers having it to the real one, but deep down we all know he wishes he can use his finger tips to touch you.
~ I do think he is self conscious of removing it, I think maybe the "nub" of it even freaks him out a lot at first. He doesn't like looking down and seeing part of him missing. With the cybernetic arm, and the glove, he feels whole again.
~ That's why when he does remove it, for a shower or maybe for sleep on bad days, it's so special to be the one to witness it.
~ Maybe he is shy about it, ducks his head while his ears turn red, but he'll give you the sweetest smile if you don't mention it. If you just treat him normally.
~ I think the very most intimate thing for him would be for a significant other with smaller hands to help him move wires into place, or get a fear slot in correctly. "You've got little fingers, baby," he'd grin and murmur softly, "jus' helps when you do it."
Hope this satisfies your craving 🫶🏻 I kind of forget about my writing and it was really nice to hear a compliment on it! Stop by any time and I'll answer 🫡
