NOT best NOT supreme. your personal favorite/the one you think about the most. multi-shipping is fine and it'd be swag if you tell me if you ship more than one of these.

Finally finished this spam of Tarkin throughout the years! Based off the novel and certain comics. Oh, how I’ve missed this bastard. Open the images in a new tab for full resolution. Early access and sketches can be found on my Patreon!

vadarkin is the ship of all time. they have everything. they had love at first sight. they had a meetcute. they're friends to lovers. they're having a secret affair on top of anakin's already secret marriage. palpatine tried to set them up and was disappointed that they didn't seem to get on like he planned. they had a divorce arc. they have a dramatic reunion. tarkin recognized anakin under the mask by his eyes and his body language alone. presumably they had a dramatic 'i know what you are' scene at some point, but if not then dear g-d these two just mutually understood without even talking about it about anakin being vader, and how tarkin doesn't need to say it for vader to know that he knows. they both want to hunt each other for sport, and did. they are both suicidal in extremely different ways. they're two of the most fucked up people in the empire and they're THE healthiest relationship either of them has ever or did ever have. they have a beauty and the beast motif in which they are both the beauty and the beast. i could go on.

#you are right and you should say it

palpatine straight up told anakin he was a sith lord and anakin was like well. this is a lot to process so im going to go fetch my boss and we’ll come back in about half an hour and murder you so don’t go anywhere and palpatine didn’t you have to admire the man

palpatine is the best villain of all time bc he's the classic master manipulator who pits his enemies against each other without lifting a finger by preying on their weaknesses but normally those types of villains have the caveat that once their bullshit get exposed it's a simple matter of slapping handcuffs on them bc they're like weak old CEOs or whatever

but our boy sheev? when his plans don't go perfectly he's just like oh well and starts zapping fuckers to death bc he's also the most powerful old prune in the galaxy and he could just kill everyone around him if he gets bored

like luke throwing away his lightsaber and declaring himself a jedi was great but you know that luke kinda thought that was it, the crotchety old emperor doesn't have vader to fight for him anymore courtesy of luke cutting off vader's hand for possibly the fortieth time in anakin's life, so it's smooth sailing until lando destroys the death star and blasts them all to kingdom come, but then palps is like aw shucks no new apprentice can't blame a guy for trying and just starts deep frying luke for shits and giggles and our poor twink is like THIS ISN'T ONE OF THE THINGS I THOUGHT THE FORCE COULD DO ABORT ABORT ABORT

and with mace and co arriving at sheev's office to bring him in for being dark catholic it's functionally the equivalent of a scooby doo villain of the week getting unmasked by the gang but then he just starts snapping necks

narratively I am a fan of romances that don’t ever actually become romances

I don’t mean in an aromantic life partner way, I mean romantic tension that is never resolved or acted upon for whatever reason but by the end it’s clear that both characters experienced the love of their lives without ever acknowledging it as such. but they know. they know.

maybe the unbridgeable gulf between them is culture, or class, or religion, or maybe their chief commitment is to something other than each other. maybe they decide it’s more important to keep the peace than to risk the complications of a relationship. maybe they’re just weary of change and content with things the way they are because it’s simpler that way. for whatever reason nothing is ever consummated between them, emotionally or physically.

I love that kind of quiet tragedy.

#this is vadarkin

Thinking about Kenobi and the Citadel arc and how Anakin just wanted Obi-Wan's approval and was doing anything to get it only to get scolded for being too eager to prove himself and win and the way his smile just falls.

And how two years later, Anakin hears Tarkin voice his thoughts-That the peacekeeping Jedi shouldn't be leading a war, that their methods hold them back from winning the war, that it's okay to go as far as they need for victory. And he turns to stare. Not a quick glance then recoving his nose, but even after he turns away, he doesn't put his hand back right away.

It's "Someone feels the same way?" It's validation. It's perhaps the first time a broken Jedi doesn't feel broken, because it's the first time a Jedi's ally voices non peacekeeping views. But he's so-guarded.

Because he's waited for this for so long and he's been scolded. So he agrees, but stays guarded. In the next episode, though, he's puffing up his chest, silently trying to make himself seem better. He's not just a Jedi. He has Palpatine's favor as well. He can be impressive.

He can finally have the praise for who he on the inside-not just the perfect Jedi he tries to be for Obi-Wan and Padme and Ahsoka.

It's not Vader music, it's Anakin's eyes following Tarkin even as Obi-Wan is talking to him. And I know it's supposed to be *foreshadowing* all of it but I wish their Clone Wars era bond had been expanded on.

Idk what this is supposed to be but just. Thoughts.

#God them.#Tarkin makes both Anakin and Vader feel so completely accepted

logging in after a million years to say that 1. dinluke fandom is still insane and i should update the stats post eventually probably and 2. somehow through all the outrage about queer obi-wan everyone has just completely missed that luke is queer too now

and now i’m logging off again
