It's Anakin, what were you expecting...?

Or, the Anakin & Padmé Meme, a tragedy(?) in four parts.

Okay it’s been weeks but I can NOT get over how the final Clone Wars arc started with Obi-Wan saving Cody, then Anakin comes and saves the both of them.

Knowing what happens a week later...

I had to pause it and take a second to get myself together because MY HEART.

I feel like we always see parents who are 100% super supportive allies, or parents who are horrible and cruel.  At least in media or in the most popular stories.  But I feel like that ignores just how many people have parents where you just have no idea?  And even if you think they’ll accept you on a surface level, you don’t know if they have a breaking point.  Especially if you need to go on hrt, or request they change the way they think about and refer to you.  Sure they’re liberal and all, or centrists, or “tolerant”, but how far does that stretch?

I think most closeted LGBT+ kids live like this, wading around in the grey area.  I’d like it of more of us knew that was normal, I’d like if we talked about it more.

Purge Trooper Cody finally finds Obi-wan on Tatooine and is about to Take the Shot til he sees obi chug caf straight from the caf maker and not go to bed for the following 25 hours and cody jusr motherhens himself out of the chips control with sheer willpower to get that dumbass to Sleep

this is so funny, like

purge trooper cody has a simple mission on tatooine and randomly sees obi-wan buying a plum or something at the market and goes full !!! gotta follow him

so he follows him to his hut and observes him for a while just to see obi-wan never ever going near is bed, eating junk and swallowing liters of coffee in a span of minutes and listen, cody could have killed him right there and then but he still has a minimum of honor so he can't just shoot a dehydrated idiot man who's in absolutely no condition to fight, so naturally he has to enter the hut and passive-aggressively cook that man a soup

obi-wan has no idea what's going on but he's vibing

I was just talking with a friend, and explaining why I adore the clones so much, so I thought I'd yell my love into the Tumblr void, as well.

They're so fascinating to me because, as children, they're treated as interchangeable parts, conditioned to believe that they don't matter as individuals. But despite that, they develop (depending on your adherence to canon, Legends, or whatever) their own culture and very distinct personalities.

They're generally so brave and selfless, which I imagine you can partly chalk up to the awful conditioning they were subjected to, but I also like to think that their closeness growing up fostered genuine concern for the welfare of others.

I could cry until the end of time over some of them getting the chance to learn that they possess their own inherent value, outside of their usefulness to the Republic and ultimately Sidious.

All of my favorite stories focus on the clones' agency and individuality, despite much of the Galaxy (not the Jedi, of course!) treating them as expendable pawns.

And then you add their age into it and I turn into a puddle on the floor. T_T When it comes to life experience, they've had so little, and even if you just look at their biological ages of 20-26-ish throughout the war, they're so young. I'm 39, and the thought of these poor kids going through all the hardships they face is too much for my heart.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

What’s Done is Done hit 300 likes AHHHHH. My little Codywan-loving heart is screaming.

Thank you all so much.

@spicyblueberries had a meme of baby Kit Fisto being carried to temple in a plastic bag that are used to transport goldfishes. Of course, in the temple they would be housed comfortably in a fish tank. @ahsoka-in-a-hood: Good idea to let master Yoda know baby nautolan is not a tasty fish snack.

little brothers is the same

 Getting into the Star Wars prequels is pretty wild

 At first you’re just there to watch laser-sword fights, and before you know it you’ve adopted three million identical child soldiers

The Star Wars fandom straight up writes some of the best gen fic I’ve ever read. The world building and characterization is just *chef’s kiss*.
