With the revelation of his son's survival comes the sudden death of Darth Vader.

One night, he dreams of teaching a sandy haired boy how to swim in the lake on Naboo and when he wakes up, all that darkness and hate and rage is nowhere to be found.

And so, Anakin Skywalker makes new choices.

He goes to Kamino, where he knows Palpetine has his DNA on file, and orders the techs to clone his damaged organs and limbs (all but the right hand. He's too used to the mech), and he spends almost a year there, letting them mend his long-broken body. It's painful, but Anakin Skywalker is nothing if not used to pain.

And he speaks to no one. No one knows where he is. Palpetine either doesn't know and is furious, or knows and doesn't care. Most think he's died, and the Rebellion celebrates, but they've still got a sith lord ruling the galaxy so not too hard.

And when the techs finish, Anakin Skywalker looks in the mirror at his less-pale but still deeply scarred face, at his long limbs and for the first time in two decades takes a long, deeply breath.

And disappears.

He steals an unmarked ship.

He finds a swampy planet that seems to be relatively uninhabited.

And he breathes.

Until one day, while in meditation, settled on the marshy grown, something pokes his knee.

And when Anakin Skywalker cracks an eye open to see what is disturbing his meditation, he freezes.

Because the wizened, green old Jedi standing there with his cane nudging the former sith looks both incredibly pleased to see him but also not pleased at all.

"A debt do you owe this galaxy, Skywalker," Yoda tells him. "Hide, you must not from your responsibilities."

"I've done enough damage for a few lifetimes, Master Yoda," Anakin responds.

Yoda huffs and sits next to him, looking at the swamp. "Blind were the Jedi, to your troubles."

"No. I made choices."

"And one more you must make," Yoda says. "Come calling, destiny always does."

Above them, the sound of a starfighter breaking atmo cracks through the calm of the Degobah swamp, and the presence of its pilot sings through the Force, right in Anakin Skywalker's ears.

He sighs deeply. "Kriff."

It earns him a smack upside the head from Yoda's cane.

"Language, young Skywalker," the old Jedi chuckles. "Or a bad influence on your son you will be."

my fave pair dynamic

[wakefulfinnegan]

Everyone always fixates on your first kiss or your first crush or first word from your mouth. But there are many firsts in this world that go quietly unremembered, slipping by, dissolved into water and forgotten. There’s a moment where you heard your first song, an entire life lived without music or art, and perhaps it was ABCs or Twinkle Twinkle Little Star- human love songs to language and the night sky. And perhaps that is when you learned the world was bigger than your bedroom and the air in front of your face.

There was a moment where you realized you had a mother and she might hold you, there was a moment you realized you had toes and they might wiggle. There is a single moment where you realize that you can make people break into uproarious laughter at everything you do. There was the first joke you ever told, and good or bad, you wanted to make someone laugh. That too, must mean something.

The first thing we often do in this world is scream or cry, covered in blood and the pain of new light and the weight of holding yourself up, but that too, is precious. There was a first moment you realized you could get hurt and that pain was real, and a body has limits. There was a moment you realized that death is not just a word but a thing you cannot hold and cannot touch, but will hold you one day nonetheless. But what is a sentence without a period? A story without an end is no story at all. So that too, is ours to discover.

There will be many firsts and they will be love songs to the sky and they will be jokes you’ll never remember and they will all be part of the painful process of becoming.

Oh god everybody buckle up here come the bird feet

Anisodactyly

The most common bird-feet formation, with three toes forward and one toe back.  You see this with most perching birds, wading birds, swimming birds, and raptors.

Zygodactyly

A bird-feet formation occurring primarily in parrots.  The middle two toes are forward, and the outer two toes are pointed back.  Birds with these feet tend to spend a lot of time clambering oh-so-gracefully around trees instead of just perching.

Syndactyly

Three toes pointing forward, one back, but the outer and middle forward-pointing toes are fused, because kingfishers.

Heterodactyly

Like the zygodactyly found in parrots, but instead of having the outer toes pointing back, there are two toes pointing back and then two pointing forward.  This only happens in a group known by the weirdly-metal and made-up sounding name of “trogons,” which is basically quetzals, which are weirdly-metal and made-up looking birds.

Pamprodactyly

All four toes pointing forward, because fuck everything.  Found in swifts, because they’re not from this planet.

Okay, it’s not because they’re aliens, it’s because they do this.

A lot.
