OH NO GUYS!! TOO MUCH BOOPING!!!

[veradragonjedi]

Who is your character most honest with? BBB!Luke

YEAH! ILY. (did you receive my ask or did tumblr eat it-?)

Probably Leia!! He hides sooo much from Din, and Han doesn't see his face at all after ROTJ, but Leia. Leia is always there. She always cares, she always fights for him. When Luke finally comes to the conclusion that he must leave Coruscant or he will never be happy, Leia, albeit sadly, supports him. When Luke realises that his love for Din bleeds between the platonic and the romantic, Leia doesn't think twice before helping him and teasing him relentlessly.

He loves her unlike he loves anyone else. It's a twin thing — she has half his soul in her hands. Plus, a part of her can read his mind! He's not hiding nothing :]

I'm asking for BBB Luke lore 🤲

ABSJSGGXUZGSJHS OKAY— ARHH

I'm so eeped about this because!!! Aroorororororo omg???? AAAAA thank you, you total legend.

Here is the bit I wrote a while back about Tatooine Lore, plus how he survived with weaker skin, and here is a little about how I worked around the traditional aspect of a vampire and how their creation might carefully slot into the gffa!

I think I'd really like to freaking talk about his mental state, loneliness, longing, self-loathing etc, sooo this is slightly heavier? But you write like the most doomed-to-fail angst-ridden stories, so I think you're alright with it. (I won't go into triggering territory as that stuff is barely mentioned in the story fr, I just wanna spill somewhere yk??)

I wanna preface this by saying that I have not completely rewritten Luke's character to be apathetic or depressing, and that his soft and cheerful demeanour and sweet behaviours naturally shine through his Jedi Master veil (pun unintended). But, when you're a vampire, and when vampires are notoriously whispered about in the far corners of your galaxy to be thieves, murderers, blood-drinkers etc, it becomes very difficult to make and maintain healthy relationships with those around you. And, as we know that in the actual OT, Luke's relationship with his friends, father, Master, sister, and his trust in all of them, is what guides him and leads him to conquer the darkness in the galaxy, when Luke loses that trust, he begins to lose faith in everything else he knows.

Not only that, but that darkness begins to return. (We don't talk about that yet. 🤫)

Anyway, I think anyone who has experienced a kind of betrayal and loneliness like he has is unready to actually place themselves in a situation where they might face the same ordeal. (You read more about that betrayal, hurt and anguish in chapter 9!)

That's where Din comes in. Aaaand also why Luke is so determined to know whether Din plans to leave him or not in the future. He's been left behind numerous times in his life. If Din leaves, especially with Grogu, he won't be able to continue living knowing that he's failed.

At least Grogu will be safe, right?

This leads him down a very very dark, repetitive mindset once he begins to develop feelings for Din. This loop looks something like this. 👇

I am a Jedi -> no attachments -> I am attached to Din -> therefore Din must leave Yavin, as he is a detriment to my training -> if he leaves Yavin, I won't be able to cope alone, as he will take Grogu and my purpose will be stripped from me -> if Din leaves Yavin, I will die -> I don't want to die, as I haven't completely my training, and the Force will not accept me -> but I am a Jedi -> Jedi have no attachments -> I am attached to Din.

And so on and so forth.

As well as, I love Din -> Din could not possibly love me -> if I tell him I love him, he will leave me, because he doesn't love me -> if he leaves me, I will die -> I don't want to die -> but living with Din when he's outside my reach hurts me -> which means Din has to leave -> if he leaves I will die -> I don't want to die -> I don't want to die because I have Din -> I love Din

As you can see, it's viscious. (I'm viscious. Me. The author. I'm not always mean to Luke I swear-)

Sooo... its a bit of a predicament, as you can see, but I won't explain how I solve it, as that's for my readers to live in fear about.

I also love believing that Luke has ADHD, PTSD and other anxiety disorders, hallucinative tendencies — because, as a vampire, he is particularly intuned to the Force, and can see things that many people can not.

I'll leave it at the last idea that, when he sees things that others can't, it bothers him, because often it is an irregularity, a shift from his comfortable zone in spacetime, or the demons rapping at his door, and he can't change it because it is out of his dimension :3

Anyway! Thank you so much, Nova. I really needed this OFF my chest and AT someone. Ily, ty :3

Actually gonna add my taglist here- ♡

I haven't read your fic yet (although I need to get around to it) but what do you think would happen if BBB Luke met Rebel Grim / Master Kennet?

OOOOOO I wonder!!!

Lemme drop a couple personality traits that I think they have in common!

If Luke met Master Kennet, they might connect on the fact that they're both deeply troubled, sad, but incredibly hopeful — although, Luke's hope was beginning to slowly fade until he met Din.

I think he'd like Rebel Grim for her attitude. He'd see a lot of his sister in her at first, and then start realising why (hint! She knew Obi-wan)

Because Luke is a vampire as well as a Jedi, his senses are super attuned into the finer parts of the Force — basically, he sees in all dimensions and it freaks him out at times. Perhaps he would recognise that in another lifetime Grim had adopted him and trained him? A lifetime where he was human. If Grim can remember this lifetime and she came from her universe INSTEAD of just existing in BBB, he'd probably ask her what it was like.

He'd also love to hear about the clone wars, his father specifically, and I think Grim would melt at how much he and Leia look and act like Anakin and Padmé.

Plus! As she is sort of like a sister, and not technically from his world, he may let her see him beneath his veil (he only ever lets Leia and sometimes Ahsoka do that)

Hes incredibly embarrassed about his lightning scars, which cross his face and his entire body, plus his metal hand and wrist, so he never takes off the veil unless he's alone, let alone any other part of his clothing. But Grim has a metal arm, I think she'd soothe him over that. She doesn't seem to be the type of person to judge someone for war scars, when she has plenty of her own.

Anyway! This was an epic question :D I love this!!! Thank youuuuu. I just woke up so this is a nice morning so far. Feel free to disagree or add on!!! :D (I could add you to the taglist if ya wanted but no pressure :3 ♡)
