something something “I’m a person and my name is Anakin” showing his name is a central way he retains identity while a child slave vs “that name no longer has any meaning to me” in almost the same breath as “I must obey my master” thirty years later after Sidious accomplished what Gardulla and Watto never managed to: breaking his spirit and convincing him he has no other options but obedience, accepting painful consequences, never looking for a way out. something like that

Keats’s favourite quotation from Shakespeare was ‘Can you hear the sea?’

and i reckon that’s pretty good

Even if you did not love me I could not help an entire devotion to you: how much more deeply then must I feel for you knowing you love me. My Mind has been the most discontented and restless one that ever was put into a body too small for it. I never felt my Mind repose upon anything with complete and undistracted enjoyment—upon no person but you. When you are in the room my thoughts never fly out of window: you always concentrate my whole senses.

Excerpt of a letter from poet John Keats to Fanny Brawne in 1820

[myfairkatiecat]

Luke says “I have to save you” and Anakin says “you already have” and I think it’s more than just a metaphor for how the return of his conscience mattered more than his life

Anakin remembers holding his mother as she died, and he remembers thinking “I have to save you” and not being able to because it was too late. He remembers what came after. He remembers kneeling at her grave and saying, “I wasn’t strong enough to save you. But I promise. I will not fail again.” He remembers what that determination not to fail turned into.

He knows Luke cares strongly about his family bonds, just like Anakin did. He knows this because Luke was determined to reach out to him, to see the good in him, to talk to the person whose name is Anakin rather than the slave to the emperor.

He knows he is going to die and he doesn’t want Luke to walk away feeling guilt and failure because of that loss. He doesn’t want Luke to feel as though he should have been strong enough to save him. Maybe it would have been a problem, maybe it wouldn’t have, but Anakin isn’t taking any chances. If his last act is to save his son, it won’t just be from death at the hands of the emperor, but from the horrible sense that he should have been able to do more to save his father, and the fear and need for control that Anakin knows can follow.

So Luke says “I have to save you.” And Anakin knows those words, he’s said them just as earnestly, and Luke is too pure of heart for what Anakin remembers that belief turning into inside of him, and he says, “you already have.” Not that he needs to let him go or that life isn’t what matters or that he needs to focus on saving himself or his friends, but that he has succeeded and therefore should feel no guilt in this loss.

And regardless of whether Luke becoming obsessive over saving those he cared about was actually in danger of becoming an issue, I think all of that is resting behind Anakin’s eyes as he says those words to his son before his death.

Some Inheritance characters explorationssss! these are all from book 1 so I can get them out of the way and proceed to draw the OP version of them from now on lmfaoooo

anyways we got all time fav Eragon (if you hate him you will die and go to hell etc. etc.), Arya, pre-lobotomy Murtagh and a quick portrait of Brom. I'm gonna be honest guys I really am not a long haired brom truther but I had to bend my will for book accuracy i guess (bc i won't do it for other things. for example i refuse to believe Eragon becomes pale like a ghost #sorry #notmyeragon)

i'll do more (like saphira nasuada orik and even roran i know shocking) because i really want to get these people out of my head and draw them with my adult skills (which are very poor but definitely better than 12 year old skills) sooo stay tuned IF YOU EVEN CARE.

“what are you doing this weekend” i am going to fantasy land. i am hiding under the covers in bed. i am making things up. i am contemplating events that didnt happen. i am talking to fake people. i am listening to my tunes. i am envisioning scenarios

[redstonedust]

what if your doppelganger loved being you more than you ever loved being yourself. they're better at being you and everyone loves them and it feels almost selfish to want your life back. i want clone horror but the horror is that the thing trying to replace you is also the person you always wanted to be.

[redstonedust]

and it is imperative that it ends with killing the better version of yourself with your bare hands btw.
