#amd tiny anakin

[sun-spice]

On a star wars prequels kick. AU where Sidious buys Shmi and tiny Anakin from Gardulla, like yes this the best back up apprentice plan ever.

Maul is obviously Not Happy, tries to pull some shit and Shmi is like. No.

Anyway Shmi secretly adopts a raging teenager and they plan to kill their slaver. Maul's not really in a place to accept a parental figure and Shmi only has the resources and energy for one son, so they end up with a somewhat sibling like relationship.

At some point, Shmi gets shunted out of the picture, and a furious Maul is left to cobble together a new plan on his own and he manages to escape with Anakin but not kill Sidious. Fuck, Shmi's not here and Maul has to take care of her kid on his own. Fuck. Oh well, he can't be worse than Sidious... Fuck it, he's going to be a best caretaker ever out of sheer spite. Anakin can be his apprentice now and it will be epic.

Anakin doesn't really want to be a Sith in particular but he's free! He can always say no later so he figures he might as well be Maul's apprentice until he finds his mom again. He likes Maul and maybe he can teach him how to fly because wow those were some crazy moves.

At some later point, an ex-padawan Obi-Wan stumbles upon two traumatised former Sith apprentices. One is a small child and terribly endearing, and the other is a passionate but still incredibly dubious caretaker okay? What's he going to do? Walk away and forget?

Maul hates him. Anakin adores him, maybe a little too much. Cue dysfunctional found family shenanigans.

Maul is determined to be a Sith without his master, Obi-Wan is there to say which Sith things are bloody fucking insane and not allowed in this house (ugly fucking smuggler ship that Anakin keeps tinkering with to have, are those flamethrowers in the walls?! Anakin.). Maul is there to stab at Obi-Wan's great wall of Disaster Lineage Repression™️ until it starts to crumble. They argue a lot and somehow both end up with healthier mental states and force connections. While arguing about how best to take care of a child they decide they need an third adult opinion and accidentally rope everyone into therapy.

They reunite with Shmi and wow, Anakin now has three parents! Wizard. Shmi, in her manic attempts to return to her son and ensure they are all free and remain so, has accidentally become a pirate queen... They can work with this.

So: a pirate queen freedom fighter, a rogue Sith, a rogue Jedi, and an Anakin. The galaxy isn't ready. Sidious is seething and frantically trying train a new apprentice.

(He gets Dooku, except Qui-Gon is alive and very much Dooku's achilles heel, and will later foil Sidious' plans for his master. Jango Fett is in way over his head, good thing this Tyrannus seems to have suddenly had a chance of heart.)

The Whills are intrigued. The Jedi are totally lost, what is happening? Quinlan Vos in particular is laughing. The Shadow Council is somewhere between amused and bemused that the surprise!Sith apprentice actually turned out pretty decent, and he's helping them with their shared goal of getting rid of his master. What an unexpected win. They'll take it, the rest of the Jedi cannot know of him until then.

do you think anakin likes to read out loud?

like ahsoka and anakin take refuge in a cave and camp out, and somehow anakin decides to tell/read her a story to go to sleep because it’s what his mom used to do for him. i bet he has a nice reading voice. do you think he tries to act the voices out a bit?

Hi sweetie bug! I thought about this ask for a really long time honestly, 1) because it was such a wonderfully out of the blue question, you always bring me unexpected things, 2) busy :( But the answer is oh my fucking god absolutely, not only because of Shmi amd her wonderful reading voice and stories, but because anakin was a slave living amongst other slaves, I have to imagine the Oral tradition is very much alive and well, considering the limited amount of posessions they are permitted. That being said, I imagine slaves aren't allowed to congregate often, isolation is the killer of hope after all, but there may be a select few days a year. With little lot food to go around, slaves tend to eat slowly, savouring flavour and conversation to let their bodies get full, storytelling and gossip have to be a part of that I'm sure of it. Older slaves, ones who've lived a bit of life outside of slavery tell stories about their lives, other planets, fables from their home-cultures. Teenagers, tell stories about their little moments of rebelion to the younger slaves, things they've stolen from markets, sneaking out to the whore houses, plans to escape, Triune Xelarpo Did it, didn't you hear about that? Just last year, I swear! Rumour is, he forund a corellian Electro-magnetic sometjing-something and temporarily disengaged his tracker long enough to leave, all a slurry of half truths and exaggerations. And then there's little anakin, anakin with wide eyes and open ears and a tiny frame that makes the adults around him forget he's there sometimes. The traders, the smugglers, the deep space pilots, he loves being a fly on the wall in their coversations when they brows Watto's store. He listens while they talk about any- and everything, spice, women, life back home, deep space urban legends, he absorbs it all and takes great joy in standing in the middle of a bunch of slaves his age and being a little storyteller. Always spins the tale like experienced it himself, Shmi always tells him to be careful not to fill their heads with ideas that might get them introuble, ideas that make them think too much about the world beyond this planet and weigh their hearts down with dreams. He doesn't get the same joy out of being the center of attention anymore, storytelling as a whole is probably a hard thing for him to do, it feels like the hobby of the desperate, those who need to escape themselves, it inspires a tiny moment of reprieve to the hopeless and he is not hopeless anymore, he is proud as ever (his words not mine, mind you). But if it's just him and Ahsoka, if the night is warm enough, if the fire is tended to and they are safe and dry, he'll tell her a tale and one without a lesson. It's no proverb, no fable, no parable, it's just a story.

Palpatine, Anakin, Chewie

Send me “Wed, Bed, Behead” and three names—you know the drill!

A long smile appeared on Zivs muzzle and she looked at Poe with a strange expression that amde her look like a wold infront of a tiny, limping rabbit in the dark forest.

"There you are, you sad little weakling who had never had the kriffing pleasure to be kriffed by a Wookie in a tree, and think that I would not chose bedding Chewbacca who is tall, who had a biceps so strong he could lift me with one arm, who is a krififng warhero and loyal to his friends. Not only would I bed Chewbacca, I would thank him for it by pushing him against the next wall and giving him sloppy, wet kisses on the only not hairy part of him that is right on my eyelevel- often, with passion, joy and swallowing.", Ziv purred like a little Loth-Kitten, wagging her tail contently.

"Huh, okay, okay, I will now stop lusting after married men who come from a species who mate for life. But thoughts are free, so leave me my sweet thoughts, hm?", Ziv took a long gulp of her drink, dirnking as if she was very thirsty: "Anyway, I would wed Anakin Skywalker because considering how kriffing mad that kriffer is in battle, he will not live long and I will be a kriffing sexy widow very soon, which is also something nice to be and I am sure I will unlock a whole new demographic of people who want to kriff me just because I have the title widow. Then I would behead Palpatine, because I kriffing loath politicans and that guy makes me whiskers curl which is as kriffing uncomfortable as it sounds so no, behead that kriffer, he kriffing deserves it!"

@starry-sky-stuff tagged me to post my favourite characters and see if there is any correlation between their sortings and my preferences. I am iming for a Top 20 forever faves here, but I am usually pretty bad at this and I might forget someone. The order is mostly random. Oh, and keep in mind I am going with my own version of their sortings and I am not even 100% sure on some of them.

1. Caroline Forbes (TVD) - Snake Lion

2. Daenerys Targaryen (ASOIAF) - Bird Lion

3. Buffy Summers (BTVS) - Snake Lion

4. Nikita Mears (CW's Nikita) - Double Snake

5. Lyra Silvertongue (HDM books) - Lion Snake

6. Anakin Skywalker (SW) - Snake Lion

7. Emma Woodhouse (Emma) - Double Lion

8. Niohuru Zhen Huan (Legend of Zhen Huan) - Bird Snake

9. Yalena Dutch Yardeen (Killjoys) - Snake Lion

10. Rikki Chadwick (H2O) - Double Lion

11. Root (POI) - Double Snake

12. Randall Pearson (TIU) - Snake Lion

13. Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars) -Badger Snake

14. Jacqueline de Bellefort (Death on the Nile) - Snake Bird

15. Daisy Johnson (AOS) - Badger Lion

16. Kyle Brody (Charmed) - Snake Bird

17. Eleanor Shellstrop (TGP) - Bird Snake

18. Prince Zuko (ATLA) - Bird Lion

19. Blair Waldorf (GG) - Snake Badger

20. Lizzie Saltzman (Legacies) - I am not sure on her sorting yet, but @laufire says Double Lion and I will go with that.

Snake Primary: 10

Badger Primary: 2

Bird Primary: 4

Lion Primary: 4

Snake Secondary: 6

Badger Secondary: 1

Bird Secondary: 2

Lion Secondary: 11

To no one's surprise Snake is the most common primary and Lion is the common secondary by a very large margin. And yet it took me a year to figure out my sorting when it was obvious all along.

Lion amd Bird primaries are equal, while only 2 Badgers crept their way here.

After the Lion secondary I orefer the Snake for its incredible charm. I swear I love Bird secondaries and yet only 2 got here. And 1 tiny-tiny Badger secondary and I don't think it's a coincidence is the oldest character I've got attached to, probably before my Badger secondary model felt so heavy and restricted.
