i want to be sk!anakin’s basement wife

MINORS DNI 18+

“you wanna be what?” his feathery voice conveys his amusement as he affectionally pinches your cheek.

“please, ani?” you keen, crawling further into his lap to straddle his thighs. “i’d make such a good one, don’t you think? dress up for you, do whatever you wanted. c’mon.” you seat fully onto him, a growth apparent under his pants as you rock under the guise of frustration— when you really just want to get him harder. “say it, see how it feels on your tongue.”

he moistens his lips, hesitant to oblige you. you get a big head when he obeys any command you give him. the idea of it grips him though, and he draws out his plump bottom lip from his teeth. there’s a sheepish curl to his mouth, as if he can’t believe you’ve said something so unusual. so depraved. his large hands knead your hips, tugging you closer to his chest. “you wanna be my little basement wife.”

[sameteeth]

anakin and obi-wan's relationship is so important to me.... obi-wan being 25 trying to teach anakin who was 9, traumatized beyond belief, obi-wan seeing the light in this kid and trying so hard to help him and let him heal only for anakin to be thrust into knighthood at 19, given a padawan of his own... his little brother, forced to bear so much weight so needlessly, and then to have to watch him Fall... and anakin who so desperately wants to keep his loved ones safe (to save those who he could not before), loving so intensely he can't help but to crumble under the weight of it all, careless of his own well being so long as the ones he loved can be safe. and then for his Fall to only act as a catalyst of suffering for everyone, especially those he wanted to keep safe.. left to die by his brother, who once probably promised to never harm anakin and to never abandon him, to protect him and keep him safe...

This is the fourth step of the Vaderkin Creative Exchange 2024 event. You can find the full event rules here.

[superspoonie24]

Characters with lekku, montrals, horns, or any other sort of head protrusion sleep in the weirdest most concerning ways and you canNOT convince me otherwise.

Anakin has lost count of the amount of times he has walked in on Ahsoka face down, completely smothered into the pillow/floor/mat/bedroll and her ass up in the air for NO REASON AT ALL. Arm slung over her head and it can NOT be comfortable. Or face down like she just splat into concrete from 10 stories up and she HAS to be dead!?

So he wakes her up in a frantic haste, panicking more and more as he can't rouse her.

He calls kix and flips her over and he's kriff near starting chest compression or something when Ahsoka blearily asks, "Sk- Skyguy? Whatcha doin?"

And he throws his arms around her scolding her, holding her tight, muttering "dont ever scare me like that again!!"

And she mumbles okay

It happens again a week later.

He and the other regulars get used to it. But every so often a shiny will stumble upon Ahsoka sleeping like the dead and runs over panicking, calling for help. Obi-Wan or Anakin or Rex will go over and check on her. 'Check' meaning calling out her name, or random things to see what she might respond to this time, and look for any movement or noise. If she huffs, great. If she flips them off, even better.

They have a running tally of how many times they get flipped off, what the weirdest thing she has responded to is, who has gotten the angriest response, and every time they think she's *actually* dead.

It's a fun game. Especially when other Masters and Padawans and Clones join. Even better when someone else with lekku joins and sleeps in a concerning way.

Record so far is Master Ti, Master Secura, and Ahsoka all sleeping completely face down, non breathing, flipping them off when they checked on them. Jesse is so happy he snapped a holopic of it. He trades rations for copies of it. At least until Anakin confiscates it. (And shares it with the Jedi.)

This has been inspired by my weird ass sleeping positions and sleep demon doing weird things when i wake up. Enjoy! (Feel free to add images or examples. I tried finding some gifs but tumblr is as functional as ever :))))))) ) 🧡🤍💙

“ None of this is your fault. ”

@inevitablehe

It wasn't the first time someone had uttered those words to him; his father, mother, and uncle had said the same multiple times, hoping to spark a flame back into his heart. But Ben still felt the same with them as he did the spectre of his grandfather. Numb. It'd replaced the wrath of Kylo Ren, and he had nowhere to hide from it now with the helmet tossed into Exegol's depths.

He felt exposed and weak, stupid for falling for all those lies for years and years. The truths sounded so ludicrous that there were days when he couldn't believe them true. His blood had to be the ones lying, just like Snoke said. Then the anger would resurface, and he'd feel Kylo clawing up through his guts, grabbing at his ribs and choking him about the throat while desperately trying to get back out and finally get rid of him. Fortunately, the dark side of him had yet to succeed, but Ben feared that one day he might.

"Everyone keeps telling me that," he muttered softly, knees pulled to his chest in the dark room where he sat against the pale wall. Moonlight streamed in through the one window, illuminating himself and turning Anakin into more of a ghost than usual. "But I don't think that's true, Sk--grandfather. Thanks for trying, though." At least he knew the man cared enough to continue hanging around him. Where the past once haunted him, he now felt a shred of comfort from it.

[yaydads]

“I’ve already lived on Mandalore, you know. Long before you were born.” I tease.

Kaz huffs. “I’m sure you did. I just- I want you and Sk- Anakin to be comfortable.”

[gaily-daily-musings]

Back to the future to the Clone wars!

I have an idea where after rotj, Luke time travels back to the clone wars due to Force shenanigans. It just dumps him at the front of the Jedi Temple. Thinking this is just a vision, he walks in. People give him weird looks. Everyone knows everyone at the temple and they've no idea who this blonde twink is. 

Meanwhile Luke is just wandering around entranced! So this is what the Jedi order was supposed to be like! So bright and good, like a beacon. So many people. He's overwhelmed. He starts to tear up. The Force did not feel like this in his timeline. It had been broken and bent. Even after his father restored balance the Light side did not feel so full like this. 

Naturally he is eventually stopped and taken to the Council. This is when Luke realizes he Fucked Up and this is all somehow very real.

Several seats are empty. The only person he recognizes is Yoda. He seems so different from the one he'd met on Dagobah. 

The doors open behind him and two men stroll through. 

"Sorry we're late. Someone held us up."

"Hey! Don't put this on me! You're the one who had to comb his hair for the hundredth time!"

Luke stares. Obi-Wan Kenobi takes his seat. He was so much younger. Only a few gray strands in his auburn hair. The other man is harder to place. But somehow Luke knows. 

Luke blinks heavily. He can't quite math right now, but by his calculations Anakin was only a year older than him. It was just…weird seeing him like this. No scars except for the one on his right brow. Dirty blonde hair that curled. He was quite handsome when he was younger. He hadn't known that. 

Anakin takes a seat beside Obi-Wan. They are still smiling fondly at each other. 

"Good, now that we're all finally here. Who are you?" Asks the scary black man Jedi, tearing Luke out of his thoughts.

"I'm Luke Sk–" kriff he can't say Skywalker! "Skyyyyy. Yep. Luke sky."

Luke feels apprehensive. These are the Jedi Masters of old so surely he can trust them. But they are still strangers. Would they even believe him if he told them the truth?

After a few awkward questions Luke asks to speak with Yoda privately. Hoping his old master will give him the benefit of the doubt. 

He is granted a private audience everyone clears out. Luke ends up telling him everything. That he's from the future. That he'd been exploring an old Jedi temple when suddenly the Force opened up and spat him out here. He believes that perhaps he is meant to prevent a great catastrophe from coming to pass. 

Yoda feels the truth of his words. 

"Truth you speak. Pure your heart is."

"Have you ever heard of someone traveling through time?" Luke asks.

Yoda shakes his head. "Strange the Force is. Stanger things, still, have happened."

They don't know how to get Luke back but in the meantime Luke wants to figure out how to fix the past.

Yoda holds up a clawed hand. "Careful we must be. Undo the threads of fate you will, should you not proceed with caution."

"But that's what I'm trying to do! Undo the past!"

"Rewrite too much and cause more destruction you might."

Luke thinks for a moment. Even more destruction? He cannot even imagine it. 

"Delicate, time is. Perhaps not meant to change things you are. Meant to learn."

Luke cannot accept that. If the Force wanted him to learn then this would be a simple vision. He wouldn't actually, physically be here. Luke didn't want to break time itself, just a very specific Sith Lord. 

They assign him temporary rooms and Luke leaves to mediate in them. He thinks about everything that has happened. Everything that will happen. Yoda was right. If Luke tried to take Palpatine down now yeah he could save the galaxy. But what if he was killed in the attempt? What if he failed? It was his father who killed Palpatine in his timeline. He was still the Chosen One. It was his destiny that would bring balance to the Force not Luke's. Would interfering with that change the prophecy?

He pulls up the datapad they provided him with. He does not know exactly how the Order falls nor when. Palpatine controlled the narrative and he cannot trust what history holobooks have taught him. But he does know the gist of it. That at this very point in time Sidous is trying to poison his father's mind, and he is manipulating both the Republic and Separatists from the Chancellor's seat. 

He reads up on the current affairs in the holonews. They were near the end of the war it looked like. Dooku has been defeated by Anakin Skywalker. He could tell the Council who Palpatine was and they could all arrest him and justice would be served. But then would the galaxy still view the Jedi traitors as they had been in the future? Palpatine had twisted the narrative in his favor last time. Could he twist it again? Luke has no evidence of Palpatine's deceit. No one to testify. Count Dooku is already dead and cannot come forward. His only real chance is to record the Chancellor and reveal his plans. But that in itself was a dangerous task. He needed help. 

Coming out of meditation, Luke goes back Yoda's quarters. But apparently he is away at the moment. He paces nervously down the hall to find him. He'll just have to tell him who Sidious is and then convince him to let Luke gather evidence first instead of going to fight him. 

He comes across the refectory. He was rather hungry. Perhaps he should eat. Luke stops dead in his tracks when he sees his father and Ben walking out. 

He's staring so hard that Anakin Skywalker looks at him. "You got a problem buddy?" His father frowns at him. "You were staring before too."

"Anakin, be nice." Obi-Wan chides him. "He's probably never seen The Hero with No Fear in person before."

Anakin blushes, immediately turning to his former Master. "Obi-Wan!"

Obi-Wan chuckles warmly, it is light and simultaneously deep. So much brighter and carefree than old man Ben.

Anakin turns back to him. He squints. "Hey, do I know you from somewhere? You seem familiar."

"Nope! Gotta go I hear someone calling me bye!"

He rushes away, heart pounding. 

After that disastrous ordeal, Luke calms down enough to go find Yoda. After asking several people, he locates him in the Room of a Thousand Fountains. It's unlike anything he's seen. It's beautiful. 

"Come, sit." Yoda waves a claw beside him. 

"Master Yoda." Luke bows his head. "I know you advised against changing the past, but I believe if we do this right, we can prevent the Dark Side from triumphing." 

He then tells him about Sidious. Yoda is grave at the news. But when Luke proposes to spy on him to record evidence Yoda hums thoughtfully. Then to his surprise, he chuckles. 

"Perhaps meant to change the future after all you were." 

"What do you mean?"

Yoda pokes the end of his stick at him. "Tasked with spying on the Chancellor, Anakin Skywalker already has been."

-

Luke is to watch Anakin watching Palpatine. Which, yeah alright, convoluted planning but Luke doesn't know what else to do. The official story he's given is that Luke is a Jedi who has lost his memory and needs a liaison to help him get back on his feet. Anakin is just the man for the job. Which means he gets to shadow Anakin everywhere. 

Palpatine warmly greets him at their first meeting, giving his condolences for his amnesia. 

"We can only hope it's temporary." He says. 

"Yep." Luke sits awkwardly. Wishing to be elsewhere, wishing he could just take his saber and fight him now. 

"Will you be joining Anakin from now on?"

"Not everywhere sir." Luke says, reminding himself to be polite. "Knight Skywalker mentioned he was meeting you and I just couldn't pass up the chance to meet the Chancellor of the Republic."

Palpatine chuckles. "Understandable, Knight Sky. I do hope I live up to your expectations."

Luke smiles with all teeth. "You do, sir."

-

Only Yoda is aware of Luke's secret mission to help Anakin spy on Palpatine. Because of that, it would be moot to accompany his father to every meeting. Palpatine wouldn't incriminate himself in front of a stranger. So Luke shadows Anakin to the Senate building and then pretends to wait outside while they visit. He claims he's aquainting himself with the other Senators and exploring the city when in reality he is listening in. He carefully attaches recording devices to Anakin's robes. He feels bad for the deception, but he knows it would only anger his father to learn that Luke was here as a spy too. He'd probably think that Yoda was undermining him. That he didn't have faith in his talents or worse. 

Luke ends up moving into Anakin’s old padawan room as part of his cover. He sees a picture of him and Ahsoka. Anakin holds the picture looking sad. Luke wishes he could tell him she grew up to be strong and wise in the Force even if she did not wear the title of Jedi. She embodied their values and carried Anakin with her close to her heart. But he cannot say anything. So he does not. 

Rooming with his father is weird but fun. They have fame nights. They say up watching bad holomovies. They take turns cooking meals. Anakin is everything Ben and Ahsoka had told him and more. He is carefree, but also determined. He is passionate and headstrong. Luke loves him. And he misses him. 

And so, the shadowing. As Anakin "re-teaches" Luke the basics of being a Jedi, he finds out just how much time his father actually spends with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Which is nearly all of it. And it's nice for the most part. Ben was kind and Luke had always liked him. This version is even chattier. He jokes more. But there are times when things get a bit…awkward. 

Luke finds himself in the middle of more than one argument between his old mentor and his father. It's uncomfortable as sith's hells. It was like they constantly forgot Luke was even in the room. Luke doesn't know which is worse; when they started fighting about whose turn it was to do the dishes ("I don't even live here!" "You're over so much you practically do!") or when they weren't even fighting and just got lost staring into each other's eyes or something. Also the pet names were… certainly there. 

Every lunch period they sat pressed side by side at the table and ate off each other's plates. Luke is forced to watch.

"You have some sauce on your face, darling." Obi-Wan wipes it off with his thumb. His hand lingers on Anakin's chin. His father's eyes are heavy and dark as they look at Obi-Wan. 

If Luke didn't know for a Fact that Anakin was married to Padme he would have bet the entire Republic that Ben and his father had been intimate. Which first of all, ew, second, what the fuck?

The man named Quinlan, who he'd been introduced to as Obi-Wan's old friend, pats his back sympathetically. "You'll get used to it. Everybody else is. They're just weird like that."

Luke cannot comprehend this. His brain refuses. It was like seeing your parents kiss except worse because Obi-Wan was Anakin's old Master. Luke cannot possibly imagine having the hots for any of his mentors.

Also, Ben has never mentioned this before?!? Then again perhaps it was for the best. Obviously Ben wouldn't have said anything to him about his odd relationship with Anakin. They were friends. That was that. 

-

The more Luke observes and listens in to closed door meetings, the more he is convinced of what he needs to do. Palpatine was clearly trying to separate The Team. He wanted to drive a wedge between Anakin and the Order. More specifically, Anakin and Obi-Wan. If Luke wanted to save the galaxy, he needed to keep them together.

When it is suggested that Obi-Wan go to Utapau to defeat General Grievous, Luke strongly advises against it. But the council overrules him. He is not a member after all. Luke wishes the Jedi records hadn't been destroyed for this time period. He's flying blind here. He's no idea what is supposed to happen. And if he doesn't know, then he can't take the correct steps to prevent it. 

A few days after Obi-Wan leaves, Luke feels something stir in the Force. He grabs his comlink and contacts Obi-Wan in hysterics. 

"This is Luke Sky, you have to come back to Coruscant!"

Obi-Wan refuses. The council has given him a mission. 

"Anakin is in danger!"

Obi-Wan is silent and then, "What's happened?"

"I don't know exactly what's going on but the Force is in flux! If you do not come back right now, Anakin will fall to the Dark!"

"...how can you possibly know that?" He sounds suspicious. Disbelieving.

"Because I'm from the future!" He yells into the comm. "Only Master Yoda knows! He didn't want me to cause ripples in the timeline so we didn't tell anyone else! But that doesn't matter! Anakin Skywalker will become a Sith if you do not come back NOW! Look into the Force! Can't you feel it?? It's screaming!"

Obi-Wan does not respond for a minute. "I understand your distressed, but I have my orders."

The comm goes silent.

-

Anakin rushes into the Council the next day. His face is pale and his breath is coming fast. He won't tell Luke what happened but Luke already knows. This is it. Sidious has revealed himself to him. 

They go to the Council together. Anakin looks around, asking for Obi-Wan. Have him holo in at least. But Obi-Wan is out of reach and unavailable. So is Yoda. Off on Kashyyyk.

Mace, Kit, and Koth all go to arrest him. Anakin is ordered to stay behind with Luke. He paces angrily. 

"They'll kill him…" He mutters. "They can't…I need him alive!"

Luke cannot calm him down. He tries but his words mean nothing to the man in front of him. Anakin won't listen. Anakin breaks free and rushes to the Senate building. Luke is close at his heels, he can't afford to let him out of his sight. When they get there the fight has already started. Only Mace is still alive by the time they arrive. 

"Skywalker! Help me! We must end the Sith!"

"No! He needs to face trial!"

"He's too dangerous to be kept alive!"

Luke gripes his saber. What was the right choice here? Jump in and kill Palpatine? Or keep trying to calm his father down? Nothing seemed to be working on him. Anakin was only getting more and more agitated as Mace talked. He looked ill, he looked crazed. 

"Anakin listen to Mace! It'll be alright! I have evidence of Palpatine's deceit! We can prove his guilt in court later but for now we need to defeat him!"

"What?" Anakin swivels towards him. "How do you…no, I don't care about evidence!" He spits. "I care about Padme! She's gonna die! I can't let her die!"

Wind whips around them as the window shatters from force lightning. Luke feels it swirl around. He's so confused. What did Sidious have to do with saving Padme? He thought she died in childbirth? He didn't have all the pieces. Something was missing.

Palpatine moves, Mace counters. Anakin cuts off Mace's hand. Mace screams in pain. Like a viper Sidious strikes, and then Mace is falling out the window. Luke tries to grab him but it's too late. It's too late. 

Sidious is laughing. It is ugly and triumphant. Anakin falls backwards. "What have I done?" He gasps. 

Luke goes to him. 

"Come on! We can still stop him!"

Lighting hits him. Luke is thrown into the wall. He screams and clutches his sides. His skin burns. 

"Thank you, my boy." Sidious says. "You have chosen wisely. I will give you the knowledge you need to save your wife, I promise you. But first, you must kneel before me and become my apprentice."

"Don't do it!"

Sidious blasts him again. He cries out. Anakin falls more than kneels. He's sweating, hands clenching and unclenching. 

Father no!

Luke squeezes his eyes shut. He cannot watch this. He's failed.

"Anakin!"

His eyes snap open. Obi-Wan pants at the doorway, his saber drawn, chest heaving. He stares at Sidious, at the bodies of Koth and Kit Fisto. He spares a glance at Luke as well. 

Sidious snarls at him. "Kenobi!" He raises his hands. 

"No!" Anakin stands, planting himself between the two. Between Dark and Light. "You can't!"

"The Jedi are all traitors! Look at what they've tried to do! They wanted to kill me and take over the Republic!"

"That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!" Obi-Wan cuts through him. He looks at Anakin. "Anakin are you alright?"

Anakin can barely think. His mind feels split apart. Luke knows this because he feels Anakin's pain as if it were his own. He can feel the choice warring inside him. 

"We can't kill him…" He pleads weakly at Obi-Wan. 

"Stand aside, my apprentice!" Sidious orders. "Today you and I shall purge the Jedi threat!"

Obi-Wan narrows his eyes. "Your apprentice?" He hisses. Luke has never seen Ben angry. He looks like a God, blue sabe blazing hungry for justice. "You will never sully my Padawan with your filthy hands!"

"I already have!" Sidious laughs. "Mace Windu is dead thanks to his help!"

Anakin flinches. 

Obi-Wan's expression stiffens. "Is this true?"

Anakin backs away from him. Unable to look him in the eye. 

"He is already mine! Now Anakin, kill him and take your rightful place by my side!"

"I didn't mean to." Anakin whispers, tears streaming down his cheeks. 

Obi-Wan swallows, shaking off his shock. "I believe you. It's not too late, come back to me, darling." He holds out his hand for Anakin to take. "You're still a Jedi, we can get through this together."

"There is no going back! Only forward!" Sidious cackles. "Come Anakin! What will it be? Join me and save your wife, or join the Jedi traitor and slay both me and the Republic which you stand for?"

Obi-Wan falters at the word 'wife.' Anakin's hands are pulling at his hair. He's shaking apart. 

Sidious gives a smirk over at Obi-Wan. "The boy has already chosen, Kenobi. Or did he not yet share with you the fact that he planned to leave the Order and forsake his vows to be with Padmé? She's pregnant, you know."

Obi-Wan's hand is still outstretched but it has lowered significantly. He looks from Sidious to Anakin, trying to find the lie. Anakin's face tells all. Sidious grins. 

"Or perhaps you should tell him of your misdeeds on Tatooine?"

"Stop!" Anakin begs him. But Sidious does not listen.

"Remember how you told me about that night? How you touched the dark side and massacred an entire village in revenge for your mother's death?"

Obi-Wan's face is pale. His arm pulls back, no longer reaching for him. Anakin gives a sob. 

Palpatine places a hand over Anakin's shoulder. "You see my boy? Even your old master rejects you. Only I accept you for who you are."

The Force roars around him. Whispering to him. Luke finds the strength to stand. His bones scream at him to lie back down. But he must. He must do this. 

"Tell him the truth!" He yells. All three heads swivel in his direction. Sidious looks confused, like he'd completely forgotten Luke was even there.

Luke looks at Obi-Wan. "Tell him the truth!" He begs. He doesn't even know what truth he is referring to. But somehow he knows this is what the Force wants him to say.

Obi-Wan looks back at Anakin. His eyes trace his face. The face of a man who had lied to him and kept secrets. Who would leave his side for another. Who would make deals with Sith Lords for knowledge and power.

"Dear one," his hand reaches out once more, palm up, waiting for his hand. "I'm here. I'm not leaving. Whatever it is that troubles you, I will help you." He pauses, voice wobbling from emotion. "I love you, Anakin. No matter what you have done I love you always."

Anakin gives a wretched cry. He reaches to take Obi-Wan's hand. 

Sidious snarls. "NO!" Lightning crackles. "Kenobi you have interfered for the last time!"

Sidious raises his hands. 

Anakin swirls on the spot. He lights his saber without thought. Acting on instinct. He cuts Sidious from shoulder to sternum. The old man falls dead. 

Anakin collapses onto the floor. Obi-Wan immediately hugs him to chest. He shushes him quietly. 

"I'm here, I'm here it's alright. You did it Anakin. He's gone."

With the danger passed, the adrenaline leaves Luke and he collapses. His eyes close and the world fades away.

-

Luke opens his eyes to an opulent ceiling. He squints at it. He does not recognize this ceiling. He sits up. Where was he?

He can see he is in a room with lavish furniture and carvings surrounding him. He gets up and wanders out. The balcony shows him a lush, beautiful lakeside. He turns back inside to investigate. Was he still in the past?

The door flings itself open. His sister walks in. She looks angry. 

"Leia!" He goes to hug her. He wraps his arms around her. She squirms against him. 

"Luke, what are you doing? Stop it!"

"I missed you so much! Where even are we? How did we get here?"

Leia flattens him with a look. "Acting stupid won't save you from getting out of it! I know you and mom conspired against me! Admit it!"

Luke stops. "Mom?" He whispers.

"Yes! Our mother! You both went behind my back and invited Dad to my wedding! It's my wedding, I can ban whomever I want!"

"You're getting married?"

Leia squints. "Real cute, Luke. It's soooo funny that someone actually wants to marry haha we get it. Just fess up and admit it! You invited Dad, didn't you?!"

Okay so, if he has this right, it is present time. But a different present where Padme lived. Okay. Cool. He can uh, he can work with that.

"Why…don't you want Dad at your wedding?" He asks slowly. 

Please don't say it's because he's evil. Please say he didn't become a Sith lord after all. 

"Are you serious?!" She snaps. "He cheated on mom! I know you forgave him but I won't! That bastard broke her heart!"

Luke's head is reeling. He opens his mouth then wisely closes it. 

"Ugh! You're impossible!" She flies out of the room.

Luke is left stranded in the middle of the room. Breathe. Just breathe.

Then, once his nerves settle, he whoops with joy. He runs to the bed and throws himself onto it. He did it. He did it! He changed the past! 

Que awkward breakfast scene with the family. Anakin and Obi-Wan arrived just an hour ago and Luke's joy at seeing them is overshadowed by Leia's death glare. Han is just as much of a scoundrel as ever, nothing new there. Padme is a vision and he hugged her for longer than what might have been appropriate considering he was supposed to have seen her yesterday. Also he accidentally calls Obi-Wan "Ben" and that makes everyone look at him weird. 

From what he can gather, Leia's wedding was tomorrow, Ahsoka–or rather Aunt Ahsoka–was coming, Obi-Wan had left the Order to be with Anakin a few years ago, and also Luke still had both hands. 

"Why are you smiling so much? It's weird." Leia kicks him under the table. 

Luke kicks back. "Just happy to see my family all in one place."

Leia rolls her eyes but she's smiling too.

I have rested and was pleasantly awoken to see the council did not fail to deliver. Lemme just throw my two cents in.

I think that the way Shadow Knights are affected by their method of resurrection depends on how long they were dead, how they died, and their own feelings on said death. For a totally random example, Laurance wasn't even dead, if he had died it would have been a sword to the chest from another SK, and he would have been in complete agony. He sacrificed himself, but he doesn't even know if she'll survive. He doesn't know if it was worth it.

Lack of assurance causes the most problems for him in this whole process. Shadow Knights like Gene or Sasha who have had more time to handle the changes and answered the call don't deal with these doll like symptoms as much. Y'know how it's canon that Darth Vader's suit was like majorly inconvenient and kind of awful to live in as one final fuck you to Anakin? A Shadow Knights developing body is like that. If you don't answer the call, if you continue resisting it, it only gets worse.

The longer it keeps going the less your own body resembles what it was. This may be an awful fate to tack onto them, but imagine if a Shadow Knight goes long enough without answering the calling that they just stop. Again. Still in their body, still sentient, but they just stop moving. Completely comatose.

But this doesn't apply to Nana's creations. See, there's a distinct difference. The Shadow King is using corpses as his dolls and showing the souls/life of those who already inhabited it into their own corpses as a vessel. Nana takes dolls, inanimate objects, and brings minimal life to them. They don't seem to be completely autonomous, they seem to have some thoughts and feelings, particularly towards their creator and fellow dolls, but they're definitely not fully sentient.

When Laurance's body starts to deteriorate and he realizes it's like he's a doll, he actually goes to Nana to ask her about this. She can't really offer much, just explain her magical process. Explain to him that her dolls only last for so long, and she does have to put magic into maintaining them. She usually only has three or four at a time as a result. And when she undoes the spell and lets them rest, they collapse to the floor, back to the dolls they were before.

Theoretically, Nana could do something like what the Shadow King is doing. It's a mix of shadow magic and her own practices, and she has absolutely no interest in pushing her own limits on this. But because they come from the same place, there's a lot to be learned from it.

One thing Laurance notices from watching her dolls is that if they don't have anything to do, they willingly resign themselves to stand somewhere out of the way and await further instructions. That's the flaw with the Shadow Knights. In order to make them as powerful as he wants, the Shadow King has to give them further sentience, and while he strips away some of their bodily autonomy, it's not all gone. They still have the capability and desire to rebel.

It's one of those actually assuring things for Laurance. Even if he doesn't know that technically his body is a ticking time bomb that might reject him in a few years, he knows that the Shadow King has spelled out his own destruction by fucking with the spell. By trying to make humans into dolls instead of the other way around, he's doomed himself to always be the target of his creations who aren't exactly jazzed about their new lives.

If a shadow knight does answer the calling, then the timing of these symptoms is different. Instead of the calling subjecting it's victims over months or years of resistance, there's just a period of time where they have to work through the worst of them all at once, but they're immortal, so it doesn't seem that bad. Gene's face never gets worse than a porcelain crack, and the stiffness of Sasha's body is something she's able to adjust to. It's always the premature Shadow Knights who struggle with their own body to such a degree because once immortality is attained, it's easier for them to share the Shadow Kings views on their bodies. Just vessels for powerful souls, lifeless things that are best used as vectors for shadow magic, or death, or whatever he or they want.

Well, I think I've said what I want to say on the matter for now. Adore that this is something we're all talking about.

A post about living dolls in Minecraft Diaries

@cinnamontoastcroonch @gonedreaminggg @laurencezvahlslefteyebrow @adepressedgaydragon and any other who wish to give their wisdom, I request the councils thoughts on this.

I was digging through the MCD wiki when I found this line describing Nana's magic. "Spirit magic allows the user to animate objects like dolls into living beings and be a servant to their designated owner."

So about that Doll Headcanon we've been bouncing around. Isn't that sort of what we've been saying the Shadow Knights are? The Shadow King treats their bodies like inanimate objects and give them lives to serve his own ends. I don't. Know what to do with this. I just think it's something we as a society should be talking.

CAN I HAVE ANAKIN FLUFF?? I need him when he first got to the temple and reader as a new padawan too. it's such a cute idea nobody explores bro.

the thought of you | anakin skywalker

summary; “and if i’m being honest.. when i first saw you in here, i blushed just as much as you are now.” | just the thought of you made him crave more, and this was just the beginning.

anakin skywalker x padawan!fem!reader | wc; 725 | warning; hella fluff, cursing, cute ani <3, EYE CONTACT 😮‍💨

“there’s no fucking way-” your eyes qucikly averted there gaze away for the boy would had walked into the temple just moments after you. your body tensed at the sight of him- almost instantly recognizing him just by the way he walked. you felt your heartbeat speed up as you looked out into the galaxy before you.

it makes you sick to your stomach. The fact that he alone can make your palms sweaty, you breathe shallow, your heart flutters along with the butterflies in your stomach.

But, who were you kidding, it's anakin skywalker.

anakin. fucking. skywalker.

he was a padawan, along with you. shockingly, it was only the two of you in the temple. that thought alone caused a shiver to run up your spine quickly.

you couldn’t help but try and sneak a glance at him, but when you turned your head to where he last stood- he was gone. your eyebrows furrowed in confusion when you turned around fully, your head moving from left to right, trying to see if he was even still there.

did he leave cause i was here?

your question was soon answered as a light hearted chuckle sounded in your ears.

“right here.”

your head quickly moved towards the voice that called out to you. you were met with the sight of anakin standing only ten feet from you. you tilted your head to the side as if to ask a question without saying it. to be honest.. you didn’t know what the hell you wanted to even say. your thoughts ran through your mind faster than you could process- one did stick out clearly though.

damn he’s pretty.

your head still tilted only slightly to the right just as his eyes caught yours. Anakins’ blue eyes kept yours captive- never once showing any intention of letting them go. you slowly mimicked your head tilt— you couldn’t help but catch sight of the small, yet seemingly shy smirk on his perfect lips.

“what?,” you let out a breathy laugh as you questioned him.

“i-it’s nothing… i’m anakin by the way. anakin sk—“

“skywalker. anakin skywalker, i know. i’ve heard it said many times before.” you studied his boyish features for a second, wait for for his response; but all you got was a dropped smile (but the eye contact remains). it then dawns on you how rude you must have sounded. a panic breaks out in your chest. you felt some what.. embarrassed.

“no- no, no wait. that’s not what i meant,” you began to ramble on- you head now sitting up straight along with anakins.. yet the eye contact still remains, “i just meant that i uh- lots of the girls talk about you that i know. mainly one of my good friends padme—“

“it’s fine y/n.”

your rambling comes to a quick halt and the sound of your name passing his lips. and shit did it sound good. you could listen to it for hours, but that wasn’t the point. the point was—

“how do you know my name?” you racked your brain but couldn’t recall you telling it to him. that’s cause you didn’t.

“i’m good at matching names with a face i guess.”

you simply did a slight nod, finally letting your eyes leave his as you glanced anywhere around the temple but at him. but this. this anakin didn’t like.

you heard somewhat quickly footsteps coming towards you.

“hey,” the voice was right next to your ear. his voice was. his voice that was filled with nothing but care. “did i make you uncomfortable. i was really enjoying looking into your eyes just as much as you enjoyed looking in mine.”

your let out a breathe you didn’t know you had been holding in- moving your eyes but the anakins. you were met with a smile. a heart warming smile.

“i don’t care what all the other girls and padme think about me. i wanna know you you think about me.”

“really?”

“and if i’m being honest.. when i first saw you in here, i blushed just as much as you are now.”

you couldn’t help but smile at him. and he couldn’t help but smile back at you. at the thought of you. at the thought of knowing that this was far from the end of what just began.

lemme know if you wanna join tag list for anakin!! request for (x reader) smut or fluff are opennnn.
