tbc i dont like when some ppl want to chalk down all of anakin's flaws on being groomed and being manipulated, because first, well, that's very boring and flattening, actually. And second, because flaws are necesary for a good character.

But also, Anakin as a character is so mentally ill that it is hard to tell what's just literal war ptsd intrusive thoughts, literal sithly manipulations, or just him having a jerk moment, lol. Anakin's main flaw is and will always be violence, and we all know from where that violence comes (his upbringing and also being put into a literal war), I can't not imagine Anakin not having violent thoughts at least half of the time, and is interesting to me because discussion about intrusive thoughts in fandom is rarely ever brought up, because a lot of the time Anakin seems to be partaking in really, really disturbing imagery or thoughts (and doesn't act on them) and a lot of these sound like intrusive thoughts to me, and Anakin's capacity to understand when a thoguht is or not his is very low lmao.

See, as someone that deals with intrusive thoughts, these suck bad, they suck a lot, I had a panic attack over an intrusive thought once. I need to avoid certain type of media or things to avoid intrusive thoughts, I still get very vivid imagery and intrusive thoughts from some dumb gore creepypasta I read when I was like 16; the thing with them is that to deal with these you need to be aware that brains are weird and sometimes They Will do That.

Now, case on point, Anakin who at the tender age of 9 years old already had seen so many slaves' heads exploding that he's capable of joking about it, was taught that his lightsaber (a weapon) is his life, lost his mom in the most violent way possible, then murdered a whole village over it, and then went to war for more countless pointless deaths, and who also very clearly shows traits of bpd (one of the symptoms being going from extreme idolization to contempt, and very extreme mood swings), is honestly going to have at least some very disgusting and disturbing ideas from time to time and not all of those can be blamed on Palpatine, at least not directly.

Like sure, ol' Palps takes advantage of those and makes them worse, and yes, of course some of the worst things you can find in Anakin are in fact, because of the grooming; but like, not all of it. And it really takes nuance and some good understanding of these things to not end in the far end of either side of the argument.

So like, yeah, the negative traits can't be downplayed, and the grooming can't be downplayed either, but the mental illness' symptoms shouldn't be downplayed as well, because seriously some of you all will go "Anakin is so bad on the head <3" and then when he does show the Actual Ugly Side of being Mentally Unwell, the reaction is either: "omg that's so crazy american psycho vibes wtf wtf that's not good why no one talks about how evil he is oml" or "that's just because Palpatine".

(and to be clear, I already said it, but gonna say it again, Palpatine IS to blame for a lot of it lmao, just,,,is very complicated, alright, a lot of Anakin's personality was molded both by Palpatine but also Obi-Wan/The Order.

Also, since is technically talked about in the post: Thoughts=/=Actions, not the point but just mentioning it because this is The Internet)

AITA for striking my (M43) son (M20) when he rejected me as his father?

I understand that the title might have you thinking the worst, but please hear me out.

I didn't have a relationship with my son for basically all his life. This was due to my circumstances at the time: I went through a major personal tragedy and was severely injured, to the point of being on life support. To this day I have a lot of issues with my health.

I recently reconnected with my son. I immediately invited him to meet my boss (M92), in hopes that I could set him up with a job opportunity. I feel that this is significant. As far as I know, my son has been working in menial jobs in agriculture, but then apparently chose to leave that life and - to my shock - join a criminal syndicate.

I felt as if getting a good government job would be a way to turn over a new leaf in his life, especially given his past. However, he immediately became combative. I attempted to give him some guidance in managing his emotions, but he rejected that as well.

I'm sad to say that the argument became physical. Some blows were exchanged, but in the end, I was angry enough to strike him. I immediately felt very bad, and decided to offer him the government job on the spot. He rejected me again, and chose to leave very abruptly. I haven't had any contact with him since.

So, AITA?

Edit: Yes, I admit that to call it striking him was an understatement. To clarify, I cut off his hand.

Edit: However, I feel like it should be stated that I myself am a quadruple amputee and we have excellent healthcare.

Edit: I did not immediately identify myself as his father when we met. I think this was my mistake. I think he would have been much more receptive of my message had I done so. As it stands I only told him of our relationship after I had struck him.

Edit: My wife is not in the picture. To my knowledge she passed before his birth.

theres this thing about palpatine that people often leave out and its that hes not only clever, the cast of PT and OT is populated with clever characters who struggle to get anywhere, but somehow in a world ravaged by the plague of emotional incompetence, hes somehow the only one who has ever glimpsed the dreaded feelings wheel. he understands the power of a growth mindset, he understands affirmations, hes the only one making connections such as bad childhood -> struggling to be a stable adult. never forget that the jedi council could literally hear anakin say "i burn like a sun on the inside and also if i dont recklessly endanger my own life the demons will get me" and theyre like hmm sounds like someone is a little bored, sounds like something to do would sort you out. you wanna have a mission??? you wanna have a mission?? here, have a mission! good boy, enjoy your first kill! and then 10 years later the grand entrance of darth vader is a fucking m night shyamalan plot twist to them. meanwhile palpatine zeroed in on the cause and effect of every vulnerability and intrusive thought anakin has ever had from the beginning. people say all the time the jedi practice [insert therapy practice] but really, its palpatine. the key to palpatine tho is that he uses this for evil. hes doing evil cbt out there. "i am capable of choosing evil" "my master 100% hates me for real" "the judgemental eye of my superiors is upon me at all times" "every attempt at surpassing the circle of violence & death i was born into will crumble to dust in my hands" "people cannot be reasoned with and are inherently selfish" are a few select s. palpatine approved affirmations you can practice by yourself!! each time he and anakin had a meeting (a session if you will) he immediately made him talk about whats going on in his life and how that makes him feel and then skillfully made it worse. he had anakin doing sithium when he should have been doing lithium but you gotta account that even doing this kinda twisting on purpose still means he needed a good understanding of how people work to begin with. in the PT everyone is trying to ignore the small, petty day to day issues they have because not being strongly affected is the easiest way to be lawfully good while palpatine remains the one singular person comprehending that those things can build up and thats why he wins. hes better at building distrust than the jedi are at building trust precisely because he works WITH feelings not against them. and THEN once hes consistently validated those feelings his advice will be to kill some kids about it

vv star wars pilled atm🦐

[raspberrydee]

padmé wearing THIS outfit to tell an unbelievably hormonal teenage anakin skywalker that they can’t be in love with each other is objectively one of the funniest things that’s happened in star wars 😭😭

[beau-ba-fett]

Imagine you’re some pod racing enthusiast watching the Boonta Eve Classic and some literal child enters with the shittiest scrap pod you’ve ever seen. He built it himself. He then proceeds to absolutely demolish every other professional racer. The kid never enters a race again but his legacy lives on in the hearts of the pod racing community.

About 10 years later, you tune into a news stream to catch some news about the Clone War. The announcer is talking about a particularly pivotal battle, saying something about “Jedi General Anakin Skywalker”

YOU MEAN THAT KID FROM THE BOONTA EVE CLASSIC???
