anakin hooking his artificial pancreas up to a ship's space wifi so it will automatically administer him a little snack when his blood sugar drops. nothing can go wrong

Hello! I am primarily a silent lurker online (so apologies if I’m doing this incorrectly), but I wanna thank you for the treasure trove that is your blog! Your aus are wild and beautiful and absolutely delicious. Over the past few days I have spent oodles and noodles of time scrolling through all your different tags—I’ve become a bit obsessed. Normally I stick to reading on ao3, but I’ve learned how to use the tumblr app for this blog and only this blog. I’ve turned on notifications (again, for this blog and only this blog). I’ve saved thirty-something screenshots. I’ve made designated bookmark folders. I have essentially built an underground bunker-archive of tennessoui content that can withstand the apocalypse.

Your creche rivalry au in particular has seized control of my body, mind, and soul.

(I imagine that baby Obikin pre-Valentine Disaster Day would have had the most disgustingly sweet greetings for each other every single morning, even if they had a sleepover and saw each other ten minutes prior. I can see them walking into the same room and making eye contact and—the air purifies. The flowers bloom. An angel choir starts singing somewhere in the background. Their creche mates need to get checked for cavities daily, their creche masters express concern to the doctors about diabetes, and any Sith within a three mile radius of Obikins’ twin megawatt smiles are instantly vaporized. Palpatine is only able to move in on Anikin after the boy starts hating Obi-Wan. In the meantime, it’s blindingly bright, hopelessly besotted, puppy-love-smiles all around.)

I place this humble offering at the altar of your divine authorial temple (and I can all but promise I will be back with more). Please have a wonderful day.

omg omg omg this is an ongoing omg

first of all this is so sweet and also incredibly flattering 🥺 thank you so much for trying to understand how tumblr works just for my blog i honestly still don’t know how to work tumblr and I’ve been here for years!!! and omg the idea of screenshots 🥰🙏 what is worth screenshotting on this blog I promise you can find shit posts anywhere lol

BUT omg no I love the crèche rivalry au and I haven’t thought about it in so long but this art and headcanon for it is just so absolutely beautiful ……

Like holy shit holy shit?? I love their expressions and they’re so cute and innocent and he says “hi obi” which is pure Anakin characterization and then obi-wan says “good morning Anakin” which is in turn just as perfect of a characterization for obi-wan!!!

You’re incredibly right these two babies were just in such puppy love that it had a similar effect as radiation poisoning, and everyone around them had to take shifts to not overdose on it all

Gosh this is so incredibly cute—I think there are only a few posts that focus on them as babies in the crèche in that AU tag, but you’ve given me an amazing reason to try and write something for that era of them (maybe a ficlet/fic that is equal parts their disastrous Valentine’s Day as absolute babies and then the Valentine’s Day they have when they’re older and adults who hate each other) because holy shit I’m obsessed with how cute this is!!!

Thank you so much for drawing and reading and subscribing for notifs from me even though tumblr is a weird place even for people who have been on it forever (me) —if you ever wanna come out of lurkdom again I’ll welcome you with open arms this is amazing work and I’d love anything you could draw for the obikin fandom!! You’re so talented 🤩💙 and so sweet 🥰🥺

diabetic anakin just assumes he's going to get blood everywhere at some point. he's going to yank out his pump site or he'll put his cgm in wrong or he'll do a finger test and it'll just be like. pow. bloody mess. unfortunately obi-wan ALSO just assumes this

anakin: so you're not going to like this

obi-wan: did you get blood everywhere again :|

third party of your choice: ??????????

Diabetic Anakin would necessitate at least one (1) episode where they're trapped in the middle of nowhere and he's running out of insulin BUT there's a weird predatory worm that has venom that mimics insulin. like a cone snail

[mixelation]

my other insane contribution from this au is that ahsoka is like "why can't you just soak in a bacta tank and regrow these beta cells" and anakin is like "well i COULD but then my immune system just kills them again*" and she's like "ooooh like lekku" bc i wanted her to have a non-human point of reference for autoimmune diseases and my brain-- knowing only about three things about ahsoka-- decided "all togruta are programmed for continual lekku growth, but sex-related hormones cause continual cell degradation that keep male** lekku short"

*i don't, like, keep super up to date on t1d research but my impression was that it's currently unclear if continual destruction of beta cells would be a problem if we figured out how to replace/regrow them. but anakin is also Special so let's say even if NORMAL people wouldn't have that problem, his body has a super charged immune system worthy of The Chosen One

**disclaimer about natural variation among/between sexes means that there's undoubtedly ""cis"" (or togruta equivalent) male with long lekku and ""cis"" females with short lekku

How likely is Anakin to build a CGM into his arm, in your opinion?

Into his robot arm? Maaaaybe. CGMs work by sticking a fiber under the skin, so he’d need access to his actual flesh. I guess he could attach it at the base of the prosthetic where it meets his bio arm, but I think it would just get in the way of maintenance/hygiene in that area. It might be possible/practical if the robot arm by nature is actively taking readings from his bio arm, or he could just mod a sensor into whatever is already hooking into his arm? I’m not sure how much we know about the robot arms.

If you mean a permanent installation in his bio arm…. This seems like it might be an appealing project to him, but I don’t know enough about limitations of long term medical inserts to know if it’d be feasible. We know in universe that permanent chips that do all sorts of wild things can be installed in people, but I think he might be opposed to going that route.

I WAS thinking about him having a storage compartment in the robot arm for extra insulin, but I think it’d be a challenge to keep it sufficiently cold. Maybe for emergency glucose storage though? And then he gets space ants

Hey, I’m seeing your diabetic Anakin posts and love it! I’m actually the author of the Bo fic you mentioned in the tags of that one post. Just wanted to stop in and say I seriously love to see headcanons and ideas around chronic illness stuff in fandom, makes me feel less alone/odd in making chronic illness headcanons myself :)

hell yeah!! fandom needs more chronic illness content that doesn't involve people acting Weird about it

also diabetic bo-katan fic here for anyone interested

Hi! Just wanted to say I love your diabetic Anakin au. It’s nice to see disability/chronic illness being treated casually and not as some tragedy.
