for da ask meme... how about.... Anakin 😳

- realistic:

now i’m not a doctor, and i have no idea how the fuck the force influences your body, but i’m just saying jumping everywhere all the time with a dramatic pose is PROBABLY not great on your legs. this, combined w chronic pain, has him feeling blehhhh on some days. ahsoka pats him gently and calls him “old man”

- while it may not be realistic it is hilarious:

the first time anakin throws his arm at rex, rex is just too tired to deal w it, doesn’t even look, thinks it’s one of his vode throwing an armor piece, and tosses his helmet back at anakin, smacking him in the face. anakin has never let him live this down and DEFINITELY uses it to get his way sometimes. “i am Not helping you set up a prank for kenobi” “c’mon it’s not like he’s getting a helmet to th-” “it was ONE time”

- heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends:

he cares abt the 501st! a lot! post-umbara he was esp guilty over what happened and REALLY tried to make it up to them because he just. this was one of those moments he regretted prioritizing palpafuck over everyone else, especially because the 501st is a group, not just a personal offense to obi-wan or ahsoka or anyone else, but rather like. hundreds of people because he failed to stay there w them and go through it with them. there’s a larger disconnect there for a long while because he just. doesn’t know what it was like on umbara, and despite his attempts at comfort and promises he’ll stay by them as long as he’s physically able to, it all feels empty.

obviously, anakin would’ve done... a similar job as krell did, would’ve lost a lot of people, albeit MUCH less intentional, but he likes to think he would’ve been better... at least they would’ve been allowed to comfort each other over the deaths and try to find some moments of peace between it all instead of constantly being reprimanded.

anakin... really kept pushing his apologies bc of this, after umbara was done with, his ‘what if’s had he been there, his insistence they deserved better (which was already obvious.) unfortunately for him! the fact remains he wasn’t there, and this sort of behavior only further severed his connection w the 501st, making them isolate themselves bc even tho this was proof of his ‘care’, he just. he let his guilt influence most of his actions here and, even though he did make a point to move on and be so much better (and he generally was), there’s still that lingering :| feelings y’know.

- unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own:

,,,i just get soft thinking abt anakin getting to watch ahsoka grow up peacefully alongside the clones after the war okay. i know it’s not realistic and we need anakin to go all sith to get the ot but also? also? My heart. they’re family :’[

radiance: DOWN WITH CISHETS

unn: you can’t call everyone you don’t like ‘cishets’ and pretend you don’t match the ‘cis’ part of that.

▼ ☠️ for cloth, quirrel, and lurien!!!!

▼ - childhood headcanon

☠ - angry/violent headcanon

CLOTH:

▼: i hc that she grew up around/in a Huge Tree. just cicada things bhvmds

but!!! on a real note, i do like the hc cloth was in a very tight-knit community. like, she thought of most people there as her family and was generally endeared by them too. when she was younger, she wasn’t really one to initiate conversations, but once you got her going she really loved talking (or even infodumping if they were close to her) abt whatever current hyperfix she’s found! it was usually wrt folk tales, knitting, and she also found weapon forms Neat (even if she never ended up using it w her own fighting style; this is how she got into talking w nola too!!! they shared that interest)

☠ : i feel like, when pushed to anger, cloth ends up closing off. she knows, rationally, it’d be better to talk things out as soon as possible rather than just bottling it up and ignoring it, but she’s also Terrified abt what she’ll say if she gets caught up in it, that she’ll worsen the situation. it’s really the other one who has to acknowledge her anger and let her know, “hey, it’s okay to tell me why you’re angry. i’ll listen and we’ll work it out from there.” and she’ll still be reluctant but. it’s the best you’re gonna get.

QUIRREL:

▼: he grew up in the crossroads!!! his family was. fairly small due to Issues. his parents were pretty supportive of what he wanted to do (which was: stop dealing w excessive pain both from physical training as a guard/warrior and then. chronic pain. fuck chronic pain), tho i will say they were those types that get really nervous that their kid/s will begin to distance themselves if they stray too far from home. it was an understandable fear here tho, because quirrel easily gets caught up in his own projects and the archive Encourages this, so his visits became rarer and, transparent as he is, they don’t. Feel like they’re talking w him anymore. they’re proud! but like. they’re left with only an image of a kid that doesn’t match up w who quirrel’s become.

☠ : hmm it depends, really?

(for hallownest) - he prefers to take it calmly, so if he senses he’s getting “too emotional” abt this sort of stuff, he’ll probably step away temporarily and let the person he’s upset with that he just needs a break, gathering his thoughts, and figuring out what point he means to get across so he doesn’t start adding unnecessary stuff. 

(for post-hallownest) - i feel that, with people he’s unfamiliar with (which is Most People, you don’t really get attached. you have pieces of them, but you aren’t attached), he’ll have a “speak your issues now or forever hold your silence" because he doesn’t plan on staying around them all that long. he’ll snap at them for whatever they’ve done if he deems it an issue worthy enough to be brought to light. however, if he’s friends / acquaintances with them, he knows he’s got to maintain this, he’ll default to how he was while in hallownest.

LURIEN:

▼: oh this is fun. so Basically i fucking destroyed canon because i’m an Idiot and now i’m too stubborn to change it to make more sense.

lurien grew up around the area that was once the white lady’s Area and, ever since she deserted her attempt at building a community to rule, became a sort of ‘wasteland’. most people either delved further into what was to become hallownest or left the area altogether, but some occasionally feel the call to return here. lurien’s born In this area of the failed kingdom, the place is already dealing with the whateverthefuck tpk did when he transferred from the wyrm form to his ‘bug’ form. most buildings have since been destroyed, but lurien’s family (there r a Lot of people.) helped rebuild a few to have places to live. things were going good! he would’ve been perfectly fine w/o hallownest but ah... he was too close to the radiance’s influence. this isn’t necessarily ‘childhood’ anymore but. his family caught the beta infection and lurien, in his attempt to go off and kill the ‘source’ (he thought it was the rulers of hallownest, wl sees the descendant of her mistake and is like :v: and sends him off to see tpk) before he was affected too, tpk went to see what the fuck this was, long story short lurien ended up as the only survivor.

but hey at least he got a new, stronger mask w tpk’s blessing that now prevents the radiance from being able to access his mind. if he had a childhood no he did not <3 it’s all been hallownest <3 ignore your flashbacks <3 self-care <3

☠ : lurien’s generally not one to voice his anger (usually it’s frustration)? if he’s annoyed he’ll be like “hey, stop” (like if he’s talking to soul master bvhsdgm) and if you don’t listen he’ll straight-up just walk away bc he’s too tired to deal w this. one of the only ways to really get him to BE angry is thru genuinely triggering him, which monomon has. accidentally done, prodding too much in an attempt to find his past even tho he doesn’t want to and doesn’t need to. the facts r: he’s in hallownest now, his family is absent, he’s here for this kingdom. nothing else matters, and as much as he loves her, he hates that she tries to find more. he’s not a walking artifact from a rule long gone. all he wants is to preserve the only ‘home’ he’s got left, the only thing left he knows he has.

when he gets angry he. gets impulsive. he keeps his ‘formal tone’ which throws people off, but that’s because that’s the only way he learned to speak hallownest’s language! the only people who really understood him before he began to speak the trade language was wl (who didn’t acknowledge it) and tpk (who only knew of it through wl). he tends to think things he doesn’t really believe (like in one of my recent fics, where he mentions something along the lines of hating monomon. he doesn’t! he loves her a lot. but in these moments he clings to emotions.) and tends to say things without regard for how they will take it or how either will need to deal with it later. sometimes he’ll end up being able to force himself to walk away rather than just snapping at them, but he usually doesn’t have that sort of control, not until the worst of it is through.
