#Anakin is not stupid

[cptsd-skywalker]

I wanted your thoughts on something the Fandom likes to portray when it comes to Anakin, because I love your In depth analysises of him.

Often times fanon acts like he's an idiot that people put up with because they have to. They make him a bumbling lazy fool who doesn't know his left from his right, and make it seem like his men just see him as a laughing stock while Obi-Wan is the "actual" jedi. They also make it so that he's a terrible teacher to Ahsoka and she has to learn everything from Obi-Wan. The fact that Anakin is a mechanical genius is always overlooked and ignored. (I also never appreciated how Tcw acted like he was an incompetent pilot when he was in an active war zone) This has always bothered me as I see Anakin as Adhd-Coded and as a person with Adhd I have experienced those kinds of stigmas.

Yeah this has always bothered me. Anakin is kind and sweet, not to mention incredibly talented and smart. He’s a general for crying out loud. He fixes things no one else can. He does things with the force no one else can. He isn’t a HIMBO or just something to thirst over. Anakin is definitely ADHD coded and I have written posts about that. He is described as fidgety, like he can’t sit still, like he has either hyper focus or no focus. He is said to be nervous with impatience and he arguably has special interests with droids and fixing things as a hobby. I hate the idea that Anakin is someone his friends barely put up with and not someone valued for the great person he is.

Anakin must be entertained at all times or else he will have... ideas...

I was NOT prepared for General Grievous to jump down with a "Hello there" to Obi Wan in the Clone Wars, the original meme just got 10000% funnier. And Obi-Wan remembering some encounter from like 3 years ago and being able to reference it and mock Grievous mid-fight is so ridiculously in character. Yall be mocking Anakin for being dramatic but you forget who his big brother is.

Anakin Skywalker - Darth Vader in Star Wars: Darth Vader (2017) #25

[omgahgase]

obi-wan: aaah, finally. i have time all to myself

anakin and ahsoka, barging into his home: prepare for trouble!

obi-wan, already feeling a headache coming on: well, it can't get worse than you two—

luke and leia: and make it double!

obi-wan: oh great heavens

*meanwhile cody from the kitchen*

cody: cyare, if anyone else walks through those doors, i will get violent

fives and echo: *crawls in through the window*

The Force: And I give my granddaughter all the wisdom and strength in the galaxy. With a heart of fire ready to forge true justice in the stars. A core of warmth and nobility and integrity who can become a goddess should she wish.

The Force: And for my grandson, who has a heart of forgiveness and such gentle kindness, will have the soul of a garden with the hands of a warrior who will show by kind example and not by brute strength and will change worlds with endless sunlight.

Everyone Else: And what do you give your son?

The Force, after the sixth genocide, 800th "read" Force message, burnt to a crisp and still screeching about Obi-Wan done by said son: Apparently the fucking audacity.

Return of the teeny anakin, except he's more bonkers (affectionate)

Almost every "padme deserved better" fan just dunks on padme herself and it's so weird like how are you claiming to love padme but you don't even understand who padme is at her core or why she loved anakin like bro did we even watch the same movies?

Yall hate padme and love the headcanons or fanons you've made of her cus you hate anakin and it shows.

Suddenly bowled over by the image of Anakin with a baby Ahsoka strapped to his front during the middle of work. Ok I guess??

Ahsoka getting cursed into a toddler during the Clone Wars and Anakin is now suddenly responsible for a literal baby. He is now acutely aware of the fact that the 501st are in an active engagement and his protective instincts are dialed right up to max. They have to be pulled back from the front, a young padawan was pushing it as it was but this is a Babby.

He's having to think about what baby togruta eat. Ahsoka can't feed herself or defend herself or anything except wiggle around like a striped potato. Her montrols are non existant, just little nubs, and its almost bringing this Jedi Knight to tears with how cute she is. He knows she's a carnivore but surely they don't eat meat that early?? Do they need anything else to develop correctly?? Is he going to accidentally harm her somehow through neglect?!

Anakin: Master Ti, what do baby togruta eat??

Shaak: Pardon?

Anakin: Help.

She gets the explanation from Anakin in pieces and a better explanation from Kix. She can tell him how to look after her until they can reach Coruscant, milk if they have any on board will do fine in the interim and Ahsoka will like being bundled up. The pressure of being cocooned is soothing (thinking of Momma Tano strapping babby Ahsoka to her front but now it's Anakin making sure she goes with him everywhere) and will prevent her from becoming too agitated.

She keeps chewing on his leather glove when he holds her but he doesn't mind, and just lets her gnaw on his knuckles like a chew toy. Its not his flesh hand anyway so it's fine. He can’t effectively secure her to him on his own so he has to get Rex to help him do it properly with Shaak still on speeddial for instructions.

She can’t help but notice how oddly domestic the scene looks as Rex carefully wraps Ahsoka in her papoose cocoon to Anakin's chest. They're both cooing at her. Shaak cannot wait for a Council meeting to be called about this.

The clones are caught between being distraught at what's happened to their Commander, as well as thinking she's the cutest thing they've ever seen. Since Anakin is now focusing harder on keeping Ahsoka safe since she can't protect herself anymore, Rex has taken it upon himself to stick at their side even more than usual. Just a very protective satellite orbiting around both Jedi in case they need anything.

No, the other men are not jealous that Anakin automatically hands Ahsoka off to his Captain if he needs to be free if her for a minute or two.

Back on Coruscant he knows she's better off being handled by the creche but ... that's his Padawan, just small. Everyone on the Council had hoped he'd deal with a Padawan just fine but were admittedly a little surprised by just how well he took to it. Seeing him immediately throw himself into taking care of baby Ahsoka, and all her species specific needs, has a lot of them second guessing their assumptions of him.

It's Obi-Wan who eventually asks where his almost instinctual knowledge comes from. The answer is that Shmi Skywalker was the go to mum for any new mothers on Tatooine and there were quite a few in the slave quarters during Anakin’s time there. He learned by just being there to help out.

Obi-Wan: if you want to continue to care for Ahsoka, you could do so by just working in the Creche and helping there with the rest of the infants

Anakin: !!
