#Anakin speaks;

[from-stars-to-shadows]

"Anakin can you—"

[stops mid sentence and sees Kaden snuggled up on top of him, sleeping soundly]

"Not a chance of me moving. I am not risking them waking up.. besides.." [Anakin wraps his arms around Kaden and they instinctively snuggle closer to him] "I'm comfortable."

every time generals kenobi and skywalker are assigned together on a mission during the clone wars, their troopers collectively breathe a sigh of relief. oh, the shenanigan incident reports are about to go through the roof, and both medical teams know by now to request a double shipment of bacta from the closest space port the moment they get their marching orders. but it's undeniable that no one knows how to look after their general like the other general.

general kenobi just knows when to give general skywalker a cup of caf, appearing suddenly at his elbow during a briefing with one already made exactly to skywalker's standards. he also, maybe even more importantly, knows when to take away general skywalker's caf, and skywalker moans on about it but lets him. no clone trooper has ever seen skywalker let someone do as much around or to or for him as he lets kenobi. clone trooper jax swears that during the last mission where the 501st and 212th teamed up, he saw general kenobi take away general skywalker's datapaad. just straight out of his hands, and skywalker just let him. and then he just--fell asleep on his shoulder. asleep. general skywalker fell asleep on general kenobi, if jax is to be believed. the general consensus is that clone trooper jax is a dirty rotten liar, as everyone knows general skywalker doesn't need sleep and has never even experienced sleep save for the handful of times he's been rendered unconscious on the battlefield.

and as for general kenobi himself, commander cody would be remiss not to use the situation to the greater benefit of the 212th (and his general). he doesn't really understand the situation, and he doesn't really actually want to. whatever the generals have between each other, or whatever their relationship is, or whatever reason they listen to each other when they won't listen to their medics or their troops or even their superior officers, commander cody does not need to know. not so long as he keeps being able to approach general skywalker in the ship's mess, relay to him general kenobi's latest incredibly foolhardy and needlessly convoluted mission plan, then show skywalker the mock-up of kenobi's weekly schedule so the other man can glance at it quickly and offer five to six suggested changes. things cody would never have thought of himself, like: 'briefing at 6.00's stupid--he's never actually awake and thinking til at least 6.30.' and 'schedule a fifteen minute block so he can eat a late meal. he gets fussy if he only has tea, even though he'll tell you he's fine.' and 'oh yeah, put a sparring expo somewhere on there. he gets restless if he goes too long without beating someone up, and if we don't provide enrichment, he'll find a sith to do it for us.'

obi-wan and anakin constantly marvel at how many missions they get put on together. they're not complaining, as they reserve complaining for the missions they aren't put on together, but they do have to wonder if the council remembers that anakin was knighted a few years ago and there's no reason for him to spend the war traipsing after his former master's troops--and vice versa.

(meanwhile the jedi council has received several long and thoughtful missives from the troopers of the 501st and the 212th, all of which are basically open letter petitions to keep assigning the open circle fleet to the same mission. 'it's less of a headache,' one of the letters says. 'and us troopers rest easy at night knowing our general is being taken care of.'

the council is just glad kenobi and skywalker and whatever they have going on can be someone else's problem for a little bit. mace windu, for his part, has had enough skywalker/kenobi related headaches in his life that he's incredibly sympathetic to the clones' cause.)

padme’s core character trait #ToMe is extreme idealism. she will fight to the bitter end for goodness and justice and hope in the galaxy and will fight tooth and nail for her loved ones and their safety and security and well being. she represents hope and optimism!! and the prequels are consistently putting that idealism to the test until it inevitably breaks!

In honour of May 4th, I have a delivery of more questionable tweets

[from-stars-to-shadows]

"The headache has worsened for Kaden. So we will hopefully be a lot more active and engaging tomorrow. We're taking good care of them.

Well, I'm trying but Anakin is being very over protective, he won't let any of us near Kaden, I keep telling him they don't have a contagious illness, even Padmè is trying to help and Anakin keeps insisting he's got it all under control." ✨

"He's like a rabid koala—He won't let them go and when he does he goes to point a and b very quickly..Ani, just let us help." 👑

"You are helping, by not helping...I got them, it's fine..Kaden am I being overprotective? Do you hate this?" 💢

"I don't mind.."

"See! Its fine." 💢

Dooku didn't leave because of the Jedi.

At least, if you're going by George Lucas' word.

In deleted scenes of Attack of the Clones, when we learn about Dooku's departure and his values, there's no mention of the Jedi or "the Jedi Order as an institution".

And every time Lucas refers to Dooku's disenchantment and reason for falling, he doesn't mention the Jedi.

"When you realize that Dooku is Darth Tyranus, it explains what Darth Sidious did after Darth Maul was killed: he seduced a Jedi who had become disenchanted with the Republic. He preyed on that disenchantment and converted him to the dark side, which is also a setup for what happens with Anakin." - Mythmaking: Behind the Scenes of Attack of the Clones, 2002

"[Dooku is] one of the few Jedi who became disenchanted with the Republic and left the order and he is leading a separatist movement." - Vanity Fair, 2002

"I wanted a more sophisticated kind of villain. Dooku’s disenchantment with the corruption in the Empire is actually valid. It’s all valid.  So, Chris plays it as, 'Is he really a villain or is he just someone who is disenchanted and trying to make things right?'" - Starlog Magazine #300, 2002

He probably meant the Republic/Senate in that last one, but you get the point. And you're seeing the pattern, right?

Dooku's problem isn't the Jedi, it's the Republic.

He's become disenchanted with a system that - according to Lucas' prologue in the 2004 book Shatterpoint - worked for 1,000 years...

"For a thousand years, the Old Republic prospered and grew under the wise rule of the Senate and the protection of the venerable Jedi Knights."

... but has been rendered ineffective because of 1) senators becoming corrupt and 2) corporations gaining political power.

"But as often happens when wealth and power grow beyond all reasonable proportion, an evil fueled by greed arose. The massive organs of commerce mushroomed in power, the Senate became corrupt, and an ambitious named Palpatine was voted Supreme Chancellor."

That's the message Dooku runs on, when he rallies the systems to form the Separatist Alliance.

"By promising an alternative to the corruption and greed that was rotting the Republic from within, Dooku was able to persuade thousands of star systems to secede from the Republic."

The Jedi aren't really a factor in his decision to leave.

Why would they be? Their political status isn't very high, they're virtually powerless, as illustrated by the film's narrative and stated repeatedly by Lucas.

On the contrary, as we already established in this post, Lucas full-on confirmed that Dooku actually carries the sympathies of most of the Jedi. Again:

Most Jedi agree with Dooku, ideologically.

As far as the Jedi are concerned, the politicians are effing up the Republic, and it sucks because the Jedi see this but aren't allowed to interfere in the political process. They have to resort to looking for loopholes in their mandates to actually get stuff done.

That's what that whole "she's a politician" scene is meant to hint at. In the commentary of Attack of the Clones, Lucas uses a similar turn of phrase as he does with Dooku.

"[This scene gives us] a chance to talk a little bit about politics and the Jedi’s disenchantment with the political process, due to the corruption and the ineffectiveness of the Senate." - Attack of the Clones, Director’s Commentary, 2002

Considering all this, it becomes clear that the intended narrative surrounding Dooku's decision to leave the Order is not:

"The Jedi are dogmatic and asleep at the wheel except for Dooku, who is ahead of the curb and sees the system is flawed, so he left."

It's actually:

"ALL Jedi see the system is flawed, Dooku's the only Jedi who decided to take it a step further and leave the Order so he can try to get into politics himself and change things."

That's why they hesitate to accuse him of murder.

That's why in an earlier draft of the Attack of the Clones script, by the end of the second act, Mace STILL has his doubts that Dooku would sign a treaty with the Trade Federation to attack the Republic.

As far as the Jedi are concerned, Dooku is out there fighting the good fight, making noise because whenever they try to protest it falls on deaf ears... until his betrayal on Geonosis.

After all, let's not get it twisted: the Dooku we're introduced to in the films and The Clone Wars, isn't really just Dooku anymore.

He's Darth Tyranus.

A point Lucas makes sure to highlight in his Shatterpoint prologue:

"Unbeknownst to most of his followers, Dooku was himself a Dark Lord of the Sith, acting in collusion with his master, Darth Sidious, who, over the years, had struck an unholy alliance with the greater forces of commerce and their private droid armies."

It's not about doing the selfless thing for Dooku, anymore. He's knowingly part of the problem.

He's all about ambition, now. His personal goals are things like overthrowing Sidious and becoming the most powerful Jedi.

"[Anakin's] ambition and his dialogue here is the same as Dooku’s. He says “I will become more powerful than every Jedi.” And you’ll hear later on Dooku will say “I have become more powerful than any Jedi.” [...] It is possible for a Jedi to want to become more powerful, and control things." - Attack of the Clones, Director’s Commentary, 2002

"If you put two Sith together, they try to get others to join them to get rid of the other Sith. [When revealing the truth to Obi-Wan], Dooku's ambition is really to get rid of Darth Sidious. He's trying to get Obi-Wan's assistance in that and help in that, so that he and Obi-Wan could overthrow Sidious and take over." - Attack of the Clones, Commentary Track 2, 2002

Y'know? Selfish things.

Dooku - like all other Sith, and like the very corporations and Senators he had sworn to destroy - is consumed by his own greed.

sluttiest thing a man can do is be a little evil and messed up in the head

[luvthegame]

nsfw warning!

you CANNOT wear lingerie around ANAKIN. That man would fuck you in absolutely anything, and the very idea of you wearing something that was made to be enticing to him??? oh yeah, it's ripped. Whether you spend a stupid amount of money on it or not, he doesn't care during the moment. It's in shreds on the floor, and he's pounding your soaking cunt before you can even process it. Sometimes he'll stuff the shredded lingerie in your mouth when you need to keep quiet while he fucks you like a machine. That man is absolutely feral if you put it on, and after a while, there's an unspoken understanding that you just can't wear it around him, unless you wanna be railed all night. after that rule is semi established, if you decide to wear some anyway... you're fucked. he's all over you like a dog in heat. You're sore for a week afterwards. But of course, Anakin's a sweetheart to you when is cock isn't hard as steel. The next day he'd feel bad about ruining your lingerie, especially if it was expensive. He'd probably give you what credits (or money if this is modern) and treat you to a day out. Anakin's aftercare game is as good as his actual sex game is, you're never not well cared for with him. Can't say the same for the lingerie though....
