In the animagus AU I just need y’all to know Qui-Gon was able to come back with both Anakin and Shmi, so on the ship to Coruscant, the four of them all ended up communally sleeping in the main living area in their shifted forms, and Ani is tiny baby puppy, and at first Qui-Gon was worried that Ani was gonna chew on Obi’s ears or something and annoy him (not that Obi is bad with kids just that both of their tempers have been a bit off lately lmao) but the first time Shmi gently puts her sleeping boy in the nest of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon’s robes, she watches lil adolescent Obi-Wan get up from his nest, and just pull the puppy into his lil tummy and start grooming him and her and Qui-Gon can just see the bond forming between them and the way Anakin is looking at Obi with stars in his eyes and Obi is looking at Ani like he’s the only little one in the galaxy and why wouldn’t Obi want to take care of him forever and ever, and INSTEAD of Obi feeling rejected when they get to the temple (because obviously Ani isn’t as worried since his mom came too) Qui-Gon tears up right then and there and Shmi asks what’s wrong and Qui-Gon says he’s been babying his kitten too long and his boy’s found his first student before he’s even knighted and Shmi is so excited while she watches him cause to her obviously that’s just the sweetest thing ever but that kid is going to teach her kid?? Really??? And she’s just so delighted with watching Obi-Wan groom his new pup and honestly both Obi and Ani are super embarrassed cause their parents won’t stop crying omfg guys calm the fuck down they’re just snuggling.

Padme ends up joining them on the third night, looking super embarrassed and asking if she can transform too, which is like, unheard of for the rest of them??? Asking if she can transform instead of just doing it???? But she explains it’s not taboo or anything on Naboo she’s just used to the handmaidens having to hide how they all look so any of them can swap places (or more honestly, they all hide appearances so they can blend together to hide the queen) and she transforms too and joins their snuggle pile and her and Ani are so cute all snuggled up and sleeping and Obi curls up around both of them and looks so proud of himself for finding these babies to protect and Qui-Gon won’t stop crying about his kitten growing up I HAVE FEELS

Anakin: *bursts into the room like it’s a sixth sense or something* Hey, everybunny!

Rex and Padme: *subtly plotting his death together*

Speech Patterns

In the animagus AU, all the clones are taught from childhood to send thoughts because it’s a 99% likelihood that their general will be a Jedi and will communicate with them through thought while in their shifted forms.

Ahsoka is a monkey, so if she tries while in her shifted form, she could still talk like regular, which makes lots of other shifters jealous af because that’s so cool to be able to talk in both forms. She mostly uses her vocal cords to say cuss words tho cause she is young and has very instinctual impulses and ends up saying words that her masters would scold her for if she were tugruta.

Obi-Wan has always been a natural sender when it comes to thoughts. He can even send thoughts to people who absolutely cannot send back to him, because he has what the elders in the temple like to call Volume Issues™️. When he was still a kitten, Qui-Gon had to put him in speech therapy classes because all his words came out sorta Yoda Style in his shifted form, because it’s kinda harder to think properly while in that form. It was very cute, and Qui-Gon thought it was kinda funny, but he knew he needed to get Obi-Wan help with it because it could have become an issue later on. Cody Always knows what Obi-Wan needs. Don’t tell them, but they have a budding lifebond forming too, but they’re very shy about it.

Master’s Clee and Xanatos (yes, in case you haven’t read what I already have posted, Xanatos never fell in this AU) are both birds, a parrot and a crow respectively, so they can talk too, and it’s really interesting, but they mostly communicate with birdy noises. Xanatos likes making the weirdest noises he can think of when Obi-Wan is around, and watching the margay get all worked up about trying to imitate them. He thinks his little brother is hilarious. Master Clee does that too sometimes, but she doesn’t go out of her way to make the noises weird.

Dex doesn’t even need to listen to thoughts, he just Always Knows What Shifters Mean and Qui-Gon is about 99.99% sure that Dex is force sensitive too but he won’t admit it, he just always knows what a shifter needs. Or, he insists he knows what the shifter needs and it’ll end up being close enough that they accept it, lol.

Anakin is Very True To His Golden Retriever Heritage, and he pretty much projects just about everything he thinks, like the dog in Up. ‘Ball, tree, saw something small and weird go up the tree I should chase it, no! Master says no chasing small things! I could hurt them and we don’t know if it’s a shifter or not! Rex has on a new cologne today! It smells amazing! Let me lick it!’ But he’s surprisingly quiet and well behaved on stealth missions.

Padme knows how to communicate with all her handmaidens in her rabbit form, but most other people she’s sorta stuck with tugging on their robes and kicking them till they get what she needs their help with. Anakin and her have a lifebond though, and she’s glad to add him (and by association, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan) to her list of people she doesn’t need to physically bully to understand her. Bail also understands her perfectly, tho he insists he doesn’t have a lick of force sensitivity in him. No one believes that at all. He also always knows when Obi-Wan is nearby, but Padme thinks that’s just cause Obi-Wan and Bail hang out too much and she wonders if Just Friends can develop bonds like that too.

Qui-Gon is also a natural sender, but none of the volume issues Obi-Wan has, so he causes much less headaches. Well, in terms of shouting in your head. He and Obi-Wan are usually tied for who causes the most headaches for the council tbh. Now that Obi-Wan is on the council, he’s def in the lead.

The red panda triplets have such a low force sensitivity (JUST sensitive enough to have a shifted form at all) that they cannot send thoughts. Obi-Wan is slowly building a bond with them over the course of the war tho, so eventually they’ll be able to at least sense him a little.

Squeaky tries not to be noticed thanks. He gets nervous when anyone pays him too much attention and goes to hide behind Cody, because Cody is in charge of everything and everyone, and nothing can phase him. Cody, much like Obi-Wan, always seems to know what Squeaky needs. It’s usually to be ignored, but also, cuddled.

Fives isn’t good at Language™️ while shifted, but Echo claims he knows what Fives needs every time. They’re not sure if he’s right, or if Fives just doesn’t care much.

Whiskers is an adorable little shit, and if you put his thoughts through google translate more than twice, they all just translate to ‘mischief!! Mischief and mayhem and lots of ice cream!’ And that’s basically his whole personality. Plo loves his smol padawan.
