#or Akul teeth (Ahoksas headband/headdress) for that matter

What if instead of his finger Anakin wore his wedding ring on a necklace, because it would be suspicious if he had a wedding ring and he’s worried he’ll lose his other arm and if he loses the necklace that means he’s lost his neck so no matter anymore right.

What if Anakin gifted his mother a japor snippet too (the necklace he gave Padmé in a Phantom Menace), and after her death he added it to the necklace with his wedding ring because now they’re close and how he wishes they got to meet.

What if when Ahsoka left, she gave him one of the Akul teeth (from her headdress) and he added it to his necklace next to his mother and his wife because she was his little sister and his family not just an apprentice.

What if Anakin never got anything from Obi-Wan, symbolism for his loyalty to the Jedi order (which prohibits attachments and presumably memorabilia) and how it distances him from Anakin his master his brother why doesn’t his brother love him as much as he does.

What if the clones have nothing to give despite them being family. Except one day on a mission, one of them finds a piece of wood and together they carve and paint it into a helmet and Anakin adds it to his necklace they said it was a joke but it wasn’t they can’t believe he really cares.

What if after Padmé died, Anakin managed to get both her ring and japor snippet and he adds them to his necklace. Wedding rings are meant to be kept together after all. WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY-.

What if even all these years later, Vader cannot bring himself to get rid of these memorabilia, and he still wears them. Hidden from sight by his suit, but always a heavy weight on his neck which feels so suffocating one moment and so grounding the next.
