#non binary Anakin

[your-blorbos-are-queer]

Not a headcanon just an icon request for a Darth Vader with the Demiboy flag?

of course! here it is! enjoy!

[ahsoka-in-a-hood]

I can do what I wanna. Have a new poll, for science:

Option 1: Palpatine got actively involved in Anakin's life early on. They saw each other often, and in private. Palpatine quickly became a sort of grandfather figure to Anakin, always in competition with Obi Wan, whom he subtly instigated doubts about in Anakin's mind from a young age, among other things.

Option 2: For most of Anakin's padawanship, Palpatine was an acquaintance. He saw him occasionally, when their paths would cross in (seemingly) natural ways. A thank you for his service to Naboo. Work or events that brought Obi Wan (and therefore Anakin) into contact with the Chancellorship. The occasional debriefing. Perhaps they were invited to a festival of the lights one time. This and that. Palpatine was always happy to see him, and praised him, and showed an interest in what he thought whenever these meetings happened. Anakin liked and was influenced by him. Groundwork was laid, but it was generally above board.

Palpatine really got close to Anakin around/after aotc. Knighthood, losing his arm, the war- and of course, Anakin was reeling from his mother's death and his actions on Tatooine, which along with his secret marriage had him closing up like a clam with Obi Wan. Palpatine pulled him into his orbit just when he was finding his feet, and avoiding his former social net. This is when Palpatine really started to get his hooks into him. By RotS, Anakin was thinking of him as a father figure.

(I feel like I have less to say about option 1 because it's the more self-explanatory one)

How do I put into words that bisexual autistic women understand Anakin Skywalker the way trans men understand Luke Skywalker.

[fandompridehcs]

Han Solo is bisexual and transgender!

He's dating Princess Leia, a bisexual trans woman!

Her brother, Luke Skywalker is an asexual stargender demiman!

His parent, Anakin Skywalker is non-binary and has ADHD and PTSD!

More non binary Anakin fics. More exploration of Anakin and his fem side in the films. Basically, more of Anakin being in their non binary era. There's so much to explore there. Thank you for supporting this.

I don't think I've written anything specifically dealing with this (maybe one day I should lol) but HELL YEA.

Anakin's the child of the Force and Anakin gets to define who and what Anakin is. Man? Yeah. Woman? Sure. Something between? Always. Something beyond? Definitely.

Honestly, I do tend to see it more as how Anakin is not traditionally masculine and gets to redefine what is masculine for himself but I think there's definitely room for other interpretations where it can also be a outright rejection of masculinity and the binary. That's why Anakin's such a special character. Anakin can be many things for many people and if you find aspects of yourself in him that's powerful and comforting.

It would be fun to write a fic where Anakin ends up getting "misgendered" in a specific alien culture and doesn't give two fucks about it because his ties to masculinity are nebulous at best and if these people think he's a woman well... they're not right but they're also not wrong.

Fleshed out an outline for Sweetest Pie tonight! Next update will be for this fic 😁

[gaylorvader]

I'm using this whenever I get asked about it.

[virahaus]

Okay so a new little idea of mine

You know how in fics where Obi-Wan and Anakin are already married/together, the twins are all grown up and they start to bring home their first boyfriends/girlfriends?

Well Anakin is usually portrayed as the one who disapproves of it, especially regarding Han as a possible love interest for either of the twins but,,, I'm thinking.

Anakin is a romantic to the core. He loves love, and perhaps in a better life for himself he'd delight in watching corny romantic films and swoons over period dramas (his whole speech to padme when he confesses? Please he was Like That for a Reason ™).

He's an incurable romantic, and now that he has the love of his life Obi-Wan by his side always, I bed he'd love to see his children find the right person for them (tho I don't ofc dismiss him being protective over them or giving the possible love interest a stink eye).

But this is more about Han, specifically.

Usually in fics where he's a love interest for either Luke or Leia, Anakin disapproves of it while Obi-Wan is more encouraging and I'm like,,,,

No, sirs. No, madams. No, non-binary folks.

Han is a pilot and a good one a that. He loves his ship and he's a proficient mechanic too. Anakin would prolly be a bit wary about his past but they'd bond about their shared passion sooner or later. Not saying they'd be buddy buddy but the possibility is there.

Obi-Wan tho.

We have canon material about his interactions with Han! And if y'all don't think while watching their interactions that Obi-Wan is so over Han's bullshit I dunno what film have you watched lol

Their first encounter and this is Obi-Wan's face.

He's literally like: this dude is only trouble. I won't let him date my son. Absolutely not. I veto this.

And it continues when Han speaks of the force.

For Anakin I think it would be even more hilarious to hear him dismiss the Force as something that do not exist, since you know it's his second parent... But Obi-Wan's face? His little smirk? He's like please. Please let me out of there before I become uncivilised ergo juggle him around using the force.

Anyway thank you for coming to my ted talk about why Obi-Wan would kick Han's ass both physically and verbally if he tried something with his children. Honestly Han was lucky Obi-Wan was dead in the later films 😂

[shapelytimber]

Just saw your Star Wars sapphic AU, and,,,,, PLEASE tell me they're all actual sapphics/lesbians and not manlikers 😭 Just one sapphic AU without bihets and switch hitters in it PLEAAASEEE I can't handle any more of their cis man worship in this fandom

Ok so this message is disgusting ngl, but I will *try* (and fail) to take your message in good faith, and assume the weirder parts of it are born from ignorance and not a wish to other and harm members of the queer *community*, especially bi and trans people.... Right ?

No, not everyone in my sw au is a lesbian, or cis, that's why it's called a sapphic au and not a lesbian au. I started listing specific orientations in my recap, even if I usually like keaping it ambiguous.

But your message kinda rubbed me the wrong way :) so just for you anon, let me share the most bi aspects of my au !

- Padmé had multiple relationships before Anakin, Palo and Rush Clovis, both men.

- I ship Vader and Boba Fett, and in my au Vader uses he/him (contrary to Anakin who uses she/her, link to a previous ask were I explain it further) and Boba she/her, making it *technically* a het adjacent ship, and Boba bisexual.

- Obi wan and Lando are bisexual because obviously.

- I really like the idea of Luke being asexual bi romantic, and I like both the Luke/Biggs Darklighter and Luke/Zevulon Veers ships, both men (rip the Han/Luke shippers kdidkdk I respect it, but I prefer Hanleia-)

- And while I'm at it, Luke Lando and Han are all different flavors of non binary, so not women. (As a lesbian I do find non binary people attractive, and know non binary lesbians. But seeing how this ask is formulated, I just felt the need to reinstate that <3)

To sum it up, in my sapphic au I concider Obi wan, Padmé, Boba Fett, Lando, Leia and Luke bisexuals :)

Frankly, from a lesbian to another, in your message you sound like a huge loser who doesn't have male friends and experiences the queer community only through tumblr. Go outside bro, "manlikers" are awesome.

PS : English isn't my first language, so I had to google what "switch hitters" meant. I don't know if it's a slur, but what definition I could find said it implies a bi person is indecisive about their sexuality. And that sounds biphobic to me ngl- I could be wrong, but seing the dog shit message it's attached to....

[phoenixyfriend]

Put together a rec list for a reddit question but I can't get the list to post so I'm trying it this way instead.

r/SWFanfic • 1 hr. ago zephrry Star Wars long fics where Anakin doesn't fall to the dark side? I'm looking for well-written/characterized, Anakin-centric long fics (or series) where he doesn't become Darth Vader/turn to the dark side. I don't have a preference for whether or not the Republic stands or falls in the AU. Bonus points if Ahsoka is a major character, though this isn't necessary. Just no time travel fics, please!

---------------------

Here's a couple, though I admit I played a little fast and loose with the definition of 'longfic' here, and I wasn't entirely sure if you wanted just RotS divergence fics.

THIS IS THE BEST MATCH FOR YOUR REQUEST:

Well It Goes Like This by orphan_account - Anakin changes his mind at the last moment and doesn't go to confront Palpatine with Mace Windu and co, rather saves a creche clan and escapes Coruscant when the clones invade the Temple.

into the desert by That_Ghost_Kristoff, TheElusiveBadger - Author describes it as A very expansive "Anakin doesn't go to the Dark Side" AU that will, hopefully, extend into the sequels, so very much a match.

The rest of these are just in order of how they appeared in my bookmarks:

In Your Dreams! by Exonerin - Obikin - E-rated

Speak no Evil also by Exonerin - Obikin - E-rated

Sigil of the Krayt by rejectedbard - gen, but takes place mostly in the period immediately post-TPM

Echo's Invitation by Sherlockian_nonsequitur - Anidala, Anakin/501st, fem!Anakin, E-rated

I will be keeping our memories by IronCannon - Obikin, E-rated, omegaverse

Ner Kar'ta by Loveobiwantobits - Jangobi - contains both E-rated and sfw fics - omegaverse

Ghost of Tatooine by SarcasticSketches - this is... sort of applicable? Vader exists, but so does Anakin. This fic works on the idea that Sith *literally* kill what is left of themselves, and so the good Anakin is haunting Luke

Sith Lightning, Paperwork, and Other Extreme Sports by DeadStarsRising - ongoing but the planned result is Anakin not falling - background Anidala

edge of providence by adiduck (book_people), whimsicalimages - this is an AMAZING fic, one of my favorites, starts a few years prior to AotC but ends around then - Jangobi

The Creche by Blue_Sunshine - Obikin, sfw

Skywalker Seduction Method by Revna14 - sfw (it's all chatfic) - Anidala, Blyla, and various background ships

Kneading by Threebea (Beewaggle) - G-Rated, Jangobi

Accidental Verd’alor by BairnSidhe - Jangobi, sfw

light by loosingletters - spans Anakin's apprenticeship and largely circles around the Jedi doing their best for him

Binary System by Cimila - Jangobi E-rated

Jedi Shmi AU by MirandaTam - what it says on the tin

Conceal Me Verse by Himboskywalker - Obikin, omegaverse, E-rated

Legally Blonde Jedi AU by Trixree - Lawyer!Obi-Wan/Maul raising Anakin (Maul has been rehabilitated, none of them are Jedi but they're also not dark)

Deliver Us AU by Bittodeath - while it's Jangobi, the fic is SO heavy on the way Obi-Wan is raising Anakin, and it's over 400k words

between pole and tropic by Anonymous - non-fallen Anakin, fallen-in-RotS!Obi-Wan

Viridescent Skies by DarthSnug (themikeymonster) - ageswap of Anakin and Obi-Wan

Senator Obi-Wan AU by BeanieBaby - eventual Obikin, but it's got a very fun Anakin characterization

Soft Wars by Project0506 - not all the fics, but plenty of them

Be Careful What You Sith For by 11paruline44  - backward Anidala and Obitine, but it’s not a major focus

Nightbrothers used to be Wizards

In Star Wars, Wizards have only been referenced as a positive exclamation (by Anakin) or to misidentify Jedi. Since the Witches of Dathomir exist, wouldn’t it make sense that Wizards used to as well?

My theory/idea is that Dathomir used to be a patriarchy until the women and non-binaries rose up against their oppressors and reversed the dynamic, becoming the oppressors out of revenge.

It’s one of the main fears of Earthly sexists regarding feminism; that their oppression reverse back onto them instead of removed altogether. It’s not much of a leap to think a different society would have enough spite, bitterness, and cruelty (and magic) to accomplish such a thing.

[david-talks-sw]

"Does it make sense?"

I think, ultimately, the thing that it comes down to for why I just can't see "the Jedi are intentionally written as dogmatic/dispassionate" or "Obi-Wan failed Anakin" or "the Jedi brought their own downfall" reads as valid anymore is because... it makes no sense that George Lucas - of all people - would write that.

Like, this is the guy who preaches the same lessons and philosophies that the Jedi do in the Prequels, every chance he gets (sometimes going all the way back to American Graffiti).

So ask yourself:

Does it make sense that he would intentionally make the characters to whom he gave his own values "dogmatic"?

He's a self-proclaimed "methodist-Buddhist". The Jedi are based on Buddhist monks.

Does it make sense that the buddhist would write a story about space-buddhists being "emotionless", "devoid of compassion" and "at fault for their own genocide"?

Lucas had an apprenticeship, that turned into a friendly/brotherly bond with his mentor Francis Ford Coppola. Their personalities were completely opposite (Coppola was more outgoing, George was more prudent) but they worked in sync, they completed each other.

Do you really think that this guy's intended narrative would be that "Qui-Gon would've been better-suited for Anakin as a teacher than Obi-Wan because the latter was prudent/strict and too different from the more passionate Anakin"?

George lays Anakin's downfall on Anakin's shoulders almost every time he talks about it. It's a corruption that was caused from within, he would be able to love without getting attached if he had joined the Jedi at an earlier age, but he didn't so his attachment and greed results in his turn to the Dark Side.

So does it make sense that Lucas' narrative would be that "the Jedi (aka EXTERNAL forces) pushed, denied and failed Anakin that they caused him to turn" instead of "it was Anakin's own fault because he wasn't able to let go"?

He has said multiple times that, aside from Anakin's downfall, the Prequels center on the Republic's downfall, never mentioned the Jedi once when describing what the Prequels are about.

If the Prequels were actually about "the fall of the Jedi and how they lost their way", wouldn't he have brought it up once? And would he really have focused so much on the Senate and politics rather than adding more development to characters like Mace and Yoda?

I think the answer to all of these is "no".

Here's one more: Lucas stated so many times that this was a fairy tale, that all six Star Wars movies are meant for kids. The situation of the Prequels is more complex than the one in the Original Trilogy, but before, during and after the Prequels Lucas confirmed that the Star Wars morality is binary, it is black and white, good vs bad.

Would he really intentionally make the Prequels this subversive story wherein "actually, if you stop and think about it, the good guys are really the bad guys"?

Or is it just that:

We live in a time where movie audiences expect the "good guy" to be individualistic, flawed and non-conformist, and the Jedi are a community of nigh-incorruptible champions of good who've already completed their character arcs.

So the adults (aka not the target audience) who watched the Prequels at the time were turned off by these characters who they perceived as "holier than thou", having been conditioned by the times they lived in to think that there are skeletons in "Mr. Perfect's" closet.

Thus, they retconned the films (via comics, books, games and episodes) so that they could enjoy the Prequels more, and did so by:

injecting more realistic "gray morality" themes into the films and

projecting an oppressive "boys don't cry" philosophy onto the Jedi.

For lack of a better metaphor, "they put a skeleton in Mr. Perfect's closet so that they could finally find his existence bearable, and keep bringing up that skeleton to this day."

[soullessjack]

it genuinely kills me very slowly to think that some people can only ever think of jack as the destiel kid and not like an actual person with a myriad of maladjustments or silly funny personality quirks. like he has a whole special red and white fleece lined Christmas jacket and is canonically acknowledged as looking like a stupid hot white boy without any thoughts behind his eyes. He killed a whole fucking archangel and then decided that he really wanted to try making some friends like a week later. they wanna be normal and nice so bad and pretend to be some normal small town boy next door all the time but they were literally so angry once that it took three gunshots fired in the back to make him calm and reasonable.

he stress eats and stays in their room for weeks on end when they’re depressed or upset. they line their shoes up and fold their shirts and wear bright yellow vans and red hi-tops. he’s narratively paralleled to Anakin but his favorite character is Ahsoka. he pretended to be a coke addict and pretended to be a pretty new boy next door again to flirt with a hopelessly romantic girl. women want him and he’s absolutely clueless about it. women and men and probably fish fear him too. he dresses like a combination between an elderly man and a 70’s sitcom hippie. he was literally called Bieber and Suite Life. they like stripe patterns and Hawaiian pizza and movies and computers.

they’re literally an autistic person who just explodes shit when they get overstimulated. They watch riverdale and constantly sweep their hair back in a specific stylistic choice bc he likes looking like that. he fucking decapitated a whole Gorgon and then stole the guy’s snake as a trophy. he says shut up when he’s mad and calls things stupid and says they suck. he’s a teenage girl. he’s. A Teenage boy. He’s non-binary. He sat on the throne of god in grass stained jeans and clunky grandpa sneakers and left it all behind without even blinking as soon as his shitty bunker home called out to him. He sticks his tongue out when he’s focused on something and his left eye pulls up into a squint when he smiles reallt wide and his smile is crooked and he has sleepy eyelids . They decided to defy death herself just to rescue someone he mildly remembered caring about once and then blackmailed a reaper into helping with said rescue plan.

He got turned into the tiniest ugliest dog ever and got a thermometer shoved up his ass in the same episode where he’s narratively symbolized by the ouroboros symbol and makes the deliberate choice of destroying his soul just to selfishly keep his family bc he legitimately cannot handle thinking about losing them without going insane. his nicknames are sweetheart and darling boy and pal and buddy and Jackie Boy and slugger and he apologized to a girl for upsetting her like two episodes after ripping a man’s heart out and eating it raw. He literally actively wants to be a silly little guy that everyone likes but he’s so insane and unwell at the same time. he’s the best character ever and I need the entire world to understand this and to see him as more than just the destiel baby or I will also explode. .

[machinatings]

Anakin is so many things for so many people. He’s disabled, he’s neurodivergent, he’s trans in any direction, he’s a boy, he’s a girl, he’s non binary, he’s the straightest guy you’ve ever met, he’s gay, he’s aromantic, he’s more powerful than god, he’s chronically ill, he has every mental/emotional/physical/spiritual disorder under the sun. And he is horrifically problematic representation for everyone 🩷 it’s really beautiful

[binaryeclipse]

Yes to the genderfuckery. Yes to Obiwan being supportive as well as all the Jedi in general. Just Anakin saying idgaf to what you label me as. I choose to do this, and maybe in his heart of hearts this is how he honors his mom.

I feel, in the Jedi's case, it's just outright acceptance and not even strange to them. They interact and embrace so many cultures within their own that Anakin's fluid gender is perfectly normal. And little Anakin would just be so !!!! about that because I'm sure Tatooine is much more firmly rooted in that binary and its roles and also filled with people constantly defining themselves against it rather than rejecting it.

Also, the idea that Anakin's mommy issues manifest in his gender presentation rather than in his treatment of women is too good and a really fun way to play with the trope. He loves and misses his mom so much he blurs his gender to be closer to her. Excellent. 10/10. No notes.
