Want so badly for any full-potential Anakins to be the same size as Vader, if not bigger.

Obsessed with the idea that he just keeps growing, that by the time he’s in his late twenties he’s over seven foot tall.

Full-potential Anakin being the size of the Mortis gods and having the same distinct aura of other, so much so that they have to scratch out the ‘human’ in his med-file (they were never fully sure of that one anyways)

[singswan-springswan]

I see your haunted Coruscant and I raise you: tired dad Anakin (eldritch) explaining to exasperated wife Padmé (unhinged chaos magnet masquerading as a complacent mother) that no, he's not worried about their children whom they've neither seen nor heard from in minutes? Months? Days, Anakin, because the Force loves them so dearly and anyway they are ancient beings (five years old) full of wanderlust and memory and anyway kids need their adventures don't they? Besides he knows where to find them should the need arise. He's never seen their hideout (core of the planet) but if he followed the dark into the ground and asked the locals who haven't seen the sun what stalks the streets when it's quiet, and if he followed the sound of laughter from a place he cannot name and shadows shift when he slips between breathless forgotten avenues and buildings soar where there is no sky and the shadows move, the shadows are not alive but stay away from death, if he followed the taste of decomposed memories he's sure he could reach out to the space where touch has no feel and he would find his children there, drifting like songbirds on a whisper of unlit sun, pouring from one lonely abandoned rusted over coruscanti skeleton to the next. And he's sure pretty sure he could bring them home in time for dinner. Would she want that? Yes Anakin, tell them we're having pizza.

Favourite Eldritch Vader | Anakin lines I've written:

"Take off your mask," Luke ordered. "I will look into the eyes of my father's killer as he dies." “I wear no mask," said Vader. 

— The Sith in Yellow

“Sometimes I have dreams….” Anakin swallowed. “Dreams I swallow stars.”

— The Right Hand of Justice

“Ha,” said Luke. “Then all I have to do to defeat you is not be afraid of you.” Vader tilted his helmet directly at him. A bolt of fear tore right through him. Luke felt cold, like he was being eaten alive by the cave-eel, drowned by the dianoga, and flying down the Death Star trench all at once. He dug his fingers into Vader’s steel arms, gasping. “Good luck with that,” Vader replied.

— Skeptics of the Force

“Is that your spare armour?” quipped Han. “Looks pretty uncomfortable to me.” “That armour isn’t for me,” replied Vader. “It is for Luke.” “What?” gasped Leia. “It’ll kill him.” “No,” said Vader. “Not as long as he remains in his true form.”

...in my defense - I wanted to draw wings

@revenge-of-the-shit​ I hope you like them 

read Disconnected Conduit by Annessarose; seriously it’s one of the best eldritch trio - if not THE best - fic there is

(this person is still pretty bumped she can’t leave the thousand and ten kudos your work deserves nor does she have the social skills to express her admiration)

if you can clearly see these two you deserve a marksmanship medal or something– or maybe I'm just that blind of a bat *shrugs*

Part two of me and my “Anakin Skywalker adopts Harry Potter” au

(This would be Clone Wars era Anakin)

- the way voldemort wouldn’t be able to even TOUCH Harry if Anakin were around

- I’m very fond of Eldritch!Anakin ??? Like I feel like his power ended up being super downplayed for being like. The literal child of the force ??? So

Imagine Eldritch!Anakin just absolutely feral over anyone / anything that tries to do Harry harm. He would crush their skull without lifting a pinky finger (it was the will of the force <3)

- I imagine the force can vaguely speak to anakin (in a different way from other Jedi since he’s it’s actual son if that makes sense?) and starts referring to Harry as his grandchild

- the way he’d go OFF on dumbledore for never checking on Harry’s home life ??? Like the kid obviously tried avoiding going home and it never raised any red flags to dumbledore ??? Really ??? Anakins not having it

- Anakin being read as like- a super powerful dark wizard by everyone around him cause the wizards have no idea about the Force and all that ??? Like, ohmygod- he strangled someone with air??? It’s the dark arts !!!

- Anakin kinda enjoys (remember- feral Eldritch being!Anakin) how freaked out the wizards get when he appears he’s like “yeahhhh baby. Don’t touch my kid!”

- Vader!Anakin poppin out for a second and making the death eaters tremble. CAN YOU IMAGINE LUCIUS MEETING HIM ?! HED BE TERRIFIED LMAO

- god, he’d fuck shit up so bad in goblet of fire and well- any movie rlly

- he RLLY hates dumbledore (if he’s well meaning or not, idk but anakin doesn’t think he is) for basically making Harry a child soldier. It all hits kinda close to home cause he’s also the chosen one / poster boy for a war so he’s able to connect to and understand Harry in a way no adult has ever been able to do with him???

- Anakin would need to be held back from killing the Dursley’s

- Fred & George LOVE him, I think sirius would be wary but they’d end up getting along over time and Anakin is fond of Remus because he reminds him of Obi-wan in some ways

- Anakin is the Cool Dad

- if ya’ll wanna be Anti-Dumbledore, consider: Anakin realizing Palpatine isn’t all he seems to be because he’s slowly realizing that dumbledore kinda has the same vibe and now Anakin is like “wait a damn second.”

- Dumbledore & Harry are just Palpatine & Anakin in different fonts

- harry: my dad is totally normal

hermione: sometimes he smiled and he has 3x the normal amount of teeth

- this is crack but anakin sees Snape and then has a vision/dream of Ben that night. He wakes up in a cold sweat and audibly goes “EW” and then goes back to sleep (going off the fact that some ppl fancast Adam driver as young!snape)

- Anakin being here just makes things a huge fix it for both his world and Harry’s world

- imagine smth (it’s the will of the force) drops in [ insert person you ship with Anakin here ] and now Harry has another parent!!!

- I’d probably make it Rex or Padmé personally (or both. They all have two hands. I love Rexanidala)

- idk how exactly this would work? If it’s an alternate dimension because anakin accidentally gets sucked thru like a worm hole / black hole or if like it’s just a very very very far and isolated planet that no one’s ever rlly been to before cause it’s so far out and there’s a hyperspace fuck up??

- idk!! I just think this would be neat!!

Eldritch Everyone

I have read fantastic stories where Obi Wan/ the Jedi are Eldritch creatures and other stories where the Clones are Eldritch, because of Kaminoan experiments. Let's merge the two with a twist. 

The twist is they are different types of eldritch beings who do not know the other is Eldritch. 

As always disregard any established lore that contradicts this. 

With the clones it is because of Kaminoan experimentation. It will never be quite clear what the Kamnioan’s were trying to do…or if they accomplished their goal. But the Kaminoan experiments on the Clones (with the exception of Boba Fett) genome connected with…something beyond. Something they had no idea what to account for. 

For the Eldritch Clones I am taking heavy inspiration from the incomparable Quarra’s The Force of my Love.  The Clones are a hivemind, existing paradoxically as part of the hive and individually all at once.  Their forms are nigh on indestructible and mutable, meaning they can shapeshift (they, in fact, make the choice to keep Jango Fett’s face and shape as their ‘main form’-partially due to spite, partially because the Kaminoans expect it). They are able to travel instantaneously to any clone that is part of the Hivemind(by contrast this instantaneous travel is limited to only to other members of the hivemind).  Unlike Quarra’s clones they cannot tell the difference between Sith and Jedi(for reasons that will be elaborated on later). They have eidetic memory which, combined with the hive mind, means that what one knows all of them know and none of them ever forget.  This version of the clones have no particular connection to Mandalorian culture, nor any other culture, save perhaps the Jedi (The propaganda that they are created for the Jedi still exists and frankly pales in comparison to how awesome the Jedi actually are). 

The Jedi are Eldritch through their connection to the Force, which is sentient (by certain definitions) but so utterly alien to anything on the mortal plane that there is no direct comparison. Now it needs to be made clear from the first that it is not just Force sensitivity that makes one Eldritch, the connection to the Force is just not strong enough.  There are additional rituals that the Jedi, and the Sith of Old, go through to become what could be considered Avatars of the Force (specifically the Light Side for the Jedi). These rituals were passed down from before the split between Sith and Jedi.

I say Sith of Old here, because Bane, in creating his rule of two, did away with many of those rituals (never realizing their worth) because several of them required more than 2 participants.  There are three rituals in particular that apply here. First is a ritual to allow oneself to fill completely with the Force (making themselves, for a lack of better terminology, larger than their mortal forms), which Bane kept as he believed it simply made one more powerful (and could be accomplished alone). The second ritual, also one that Bane kept, helped to hide the Banite Sith from the Jedi(it also disguised what was happening to the Banite Sith due to the first ritual, even from themselves), though that had always been a side effect of the ritual, not its intended purpose; this ritual is the reason that the Clones cannot sense Jedi and Sith seperately. The third ritual makes one a conduit of the Force (letting the Force pass through oneself) which Bane did away with. It is important here because mortal beings are not meant to be filled to the brim with the Force, without the release valve of the second ritual it causes them to rot from the inside out.   This is important because by the old definition of Sith, the Force Cult that has dedicated themselves to being the Avatars of the Dark Side of the Force, there has not been a Sith since Darth Bane (barring one exception) and why the Banite Sith tend to rot while still living, the longer they are immersed in the Dark Side.  Dooku did not rot because he had done the rituals as a Jedi, though he had not dedicated himself specifically to the Dark, so he never took on the title of True Sith. Ventress, through her training with Ky Narec, had also completed most of the Jedi rituals, meaning she was not a Sith but as closer to it than Palpatine. It was actually Maul who, in growing up submerged in the Dark like he had been, accidentally completed a version of the lost second ritual, and became a True Sith in the old meaning of the word. 

These rituals are meant to immerse a Force Sensitive in the Force itself, giving the connection more strength than it would have otherwise.  The Force abilities that we see the Jedi, and the Sith use, are because of the Rituals and why those that do not go through either version have much subtler/weaker abilities. It also means that the Jedi (and the Sith of old+Maul) give off the eerie impression that, no matter the size or species, they are somehow so much larger than they appear. That there is something beneath their skin trying to get out. Also being plugged directly into Force in the way that they are skews the way they view reality.   It can be hard for the Jedi to connect with beings that are not at least a little Force Sensitive and the Jedi care deeply, but sometimes cannot see what the actual problem is (saying ‘there is no death there is only the force’ is not meant to be a trite saying nor do many of the Jedi quite understand why it is not as comforting as they think it is).

At the beginning of the Clone Wars, both the Jedi and the Clones hide their eldritch nature from each other. Both groups had experienced how showing their nature to the wrong people can break minds and they had no wish to hurt the other. 

The first sign that something was…strange was how in sync both groups were.  The Jedi marveled that the clones never cringed at the sight of them (and that which moved under their skin when they lost focus). The Clones were ecstatic that the Jedi never questioned when they had knowledge they should not have, nor the few occasions when multiple clones spoke from the same mouth.  

Nat born officers would make comments, not directly but meant to be overheard, how the Jedi Padawans grew more ‘other’ every time they visited the Temple on Coruscant. The clones would only stare blankly, to them it seemed like the Padawans were simply growing into themselves. 

Various Jedi and clones began to fall into love (Familial, romantic, sexual, platonic, and other).  It is Depa Billaba and Gray who first confess, and in confessing reveal their respective natures (Depa is the one who made the first move-as soon as the Clones knew of the Jedi’s nature they each sought out their Jedi).

The main reason that Jedi do not get in romantic relationships with non Force Sensitives (and Padme has no Force Sensitivity) is that theri nature pushes them to connect at the deepest level they can with their loved ones.  This can mentally damage non Force Sensitives.

For Obi Wan, if Cody had not confessed, Obi Wan never would have.  He had tried, before, to have romantic relationships with non force sensitives. A few times he had even managed to deny his own nature until the relationship dissolved naturally (Obi Wan, like most Jedi could be…odd, even when trying to fit in). It had become clear through his life that it just was not worth the pain to act on those kinds of feelings.  The knowledge that Cody could bond with him fully, was interested in him both romantically and sexually was a joy. Obi Wan was not even off put that by dating on clone, he was in affect dating all of the clones at once (who were also dating other Jedi)

Sometimes the Clones and Jedi switched partners. For instance Mace Windu, who was primarily dating Ponds, loved the Theater, which Ponds was ambivalent about but Bly also loved the theater (which Aayla actively disliked). So Bly and Mace had a standing monthly date night to a variety of theaters all over the galaxy, and at least once a year end up acting in a performance. Or how Fox was one of the only Clones that was not bored stupid at the Anniversary Ball, a pretentious event of a small but rich mid rim planet to celebrate the ratifying of a treaty, that Obi Wan is required to go to every year (even the years he was actively at war). So Fox is Obi Wan’s date, while Cody and Vos (who primarily dated the Coruscant Guard), would use the night to break up some kind of ring(slavery, drugs, smuggling, etc.)

Rex found that he fit neatly into Padme and Anakin’s relationship, somehow providing a stabilizing influence on their bond.  Padme and Anakin had bonded after the first battle of Geonosis but it was a case of Anakin being young and stupid and reckless, and Padme not actually understanding what Anakin was talking about when he tried to explain the risks (She thought he was saying that it might hurt her, and she was reassuring him that she trust him to be careful. He thought she was saying that she knew about the risks and was Force Sensitive enough to not be harmed).  There was already some damage done to  Padme’s mind (mostly in terms of willpower, personality, and impulse control) by the time Rex joined the bond, and not all of it was correctable, but most was. 

It is not the Jedi and the Clones that disrupt Palpatine’s plans (though the chips never worked, so eventually they would have). It was Dooku, Ventress, and Maul. Maul was the first True Sith, though it was accidental, in almost 1000 years. Dooku knew what it meant to be Jedi/Sith in the original sense and could tell that Palpatine did not. Ventress, like Dooku, had gone through the Jedi versions of the rituals (those rituals may have been passed down since before the split, but time had caused a bit of difference).  Because Palpatine has the deeper connection to the Force but not release valve, for lack of a better term, he is more immediately powerful but in the long run is doing far more damage to himself than he realizes.  Sometime before Maul would have gone after Satine, he encounters Ventress, who recognizes him as an actual Sith and brings him to Dooku. 

These three decide that they are going to destroy Palpatine (for being a Pretended Sith) and rebuild the actual Sith Order with the full Sith rituals. Maul is a bit surprised to realize that he, by himself, is more than a match for Palpatine (Since this was the man that had tormented him since childhood; he always had the picture that Palptine was bigger than life). Dooku then publishes all of the wrong doings he knew of from Palpatine’s entire circle-CIS and Republic alike- (and he knew about 80% of what was eventually uncovered). Then all three of them fuck off to Morriban to begin their research into resurrecting the Sith Order. 

The Jedi Order and the Clones collectively decide to let them, on the basis that at least they know where the three Sith are and it keeps them busy.

Funny moment where Padme is walking down a hall in the senate building with her babies at her side and someone in passing stops to greet her, feeling the need also to acknowledge the twins because they are difficult to ignore. "Good day Your Excellency. Looking radiant as always. And your children are--" The senator glances down at the twins who are staring up with wide glassy eyes the color of space and starmelt. For a second, half a second, reality halts and breaks and the galaxy cracks on their twin gazes which come suddenly from far more than four eyes and the shadows of twelve great wings seem to flicker in the void that trails behind them where the chasm of future and past yawns to swallow the essence of nonexistence dripping from their footsteps-- "...so...cute?" Padme smiles calmly at the now sweating, shaking senator and delivers a stoic nod. "Thank you." She hums. "They take after their father." A deft hand is flicked sideways to indicate the subject in question. Full on Eldritch abomination Anakin Skywalker with horns made of shadows and eyes bleeding twilight and limbs drifting in between realms of time and too many voices to name is leaning against the railing eating a sandwich. He throws up a peace sign. "Yo."

“What’s it like to hold a demi-god?A wild child of the force? Does it burn? Does it ache? What is it like to hold the stars, sun, and galaxy in your hands, Obi-Wan? Is he tender? Is he sweet? Or does he want to feast on bones and meat?”~ A Sky Walker

Shadow and Mirror

Read on AO3, written for this prompt

Cody has a new crush.

Well, a “crush” implies something much more childish than the point he’s reached in his life.

Cody has… felt a connection and really hit it off with someone he finds reasonably attractive.

His brothers are being less than supportive.

“He is my Jedi and one of my best friends,” Rex says, “but I just… for both your sakes, life will be so much easier if you don’t go for it.”

Cody is unfazed. “You do remember he was my Jedi Commander before he got promoted and took you with him, right? I know what he’s like, and I’m into it.”

Rex makes a face. “Uh, all due respect, Cody—”

Oh, this bitch.

“—but he’s changed in some pretty big ways since he split from Kenobi.”

“So’ve I.”

This earns him an eyeroll. “Yes, yes, you’ve discovered your romantic charisma and started charming the pants off of any sentient you encounter on leave. You do realize that’s part of the problem?”

“That I have game?”

“Skywalker doesn’t do casual,” Rex insists. “Open, maybe, if you talk about it, but he doesn’t do casual.”

After a moment of consideration, Cody shrugs. “I can work with that.”

“Can you?” Rex challenges. “Can you really deal with the full force of Anakin’s attention? With him losing his entire mind if you get hurt, and calling you up at three in the morning to chat, and promising you the galaxy in a bunch of flowery words that should be hyperbole, but really, really worryingly sounds literal and sincere?”

“…did you try dating him?”

“No, but I was there basically every time he hung with Amidala, and that shit continued past the point where he gave up on romantic seduction and settled into friendship,” Rex says, more of a grumpy complaint than anything, “and she’s just as weird as he is when it comes to all that, so it’s no skin off her back to match his energy, but you are not on their level.”

“Rude.”

“I’m just saying,” Rex grits out from between clenched teeth, “that you like to have fun, and Anakin likes to dedicate every morsel of crazy knocking around his brain to whichever poor soul ended up in his affections.”

“I feel like insulting your CO that much is grounds for a court martial.”

“Echo told him, to his face, that he occasionally seemed crazy as a bag of tooka kits and about as hinged as a sliding door. General Skywalker took a second to process, and then laughed. He doesn’t care, not if it’s from a friend.”

Cody hums. “Which you are.”

“Yes.”

“Enough to warn me away before I break his heart?” Cody asks. Rex looks away, and Cody can only chuckle. “You’re not that subtle, Rex.”

“I’m trying to make sure you do what’s best for both of you,” Rex insists, glancing at Cody for only a moment before breaking eye contact again, “so Anakin doesn’t get disappointed, and so you’re not walking in blind when it comes to him being… the most.”

Cody snorts. “I can handle Skywalker, Rex. I may not be a Jedi or a Senator, but I can handle one brat with a smart mouth, a bad attitude, and a couple of super-powers.”

Rex grimaces. “I mean… it’s not really… that simple. The Force stuff, I mean.”

There’s something a little odd to Rex’s voice with that one, more than just the weird pauses. Cody doesn’t dismiss it quite as easily as he might have. Instead, he carefully asks, “the whole ‘Chosen’ thing some of the Shinies were gossiping about? Kenobi said it was an old superstition more than anything, a metaphor taken too literally, and that even the Jedi argue about it.”

“When?”

Cody’s expression must speak for him, because Rex clarifies without prompting.

“When did Kenobi say that?”

Cody looks past him at the wall, frowning as he thinks. Rex waits, and doesn’t take it too personally; they know each other too well for that. Finally, Cody shrugs. “A couple months in. Skywalker was still a Jedi Commander with the 212th.”

“So, before Mortis.”

Oh, for fuck’s sake. “This has to do with that shitshow?”

Rex looks uncomfortable. “You… aren’t 501st.”

“Yeah, and?”

“Well… Kenobi didn’t get possessed. Or channel a god. He just used an extra weird lightsaber for a bit.”

Cody gives it a few moments, and then finally says, “Rex.”

His brother continues to look uncomfortable.

“What did that place do to Skywalker and Tano?”

anakin was not born with the teeth of a star-eater, ferrous-black and always dripping blood. his halo did not used to shine so brightly that it hurt his master's eyes, his skin did not always shift and ripple like the surface of a newly-forming planet as the magma churns beneath. his eyes used to be soft and blue and human. he did not grow into his own radiance like it was an oversized sweater, nor did it grow from within him, transforming him gradually from within; his greatness was thrust upon him by a creature who whispered dark promises with the voices of a thousand evil men. he does not want it, this power, and it does not want him.

he is glad his mother has never known him like this. in the depths of his spiralling despair he finds himself almost glad she died, so that she remembers him as human and not... this. supernova child, borne of the cosmos. sky-walker. he is not the son of the stars, he is the son of shmi - wide-eyed boy, sunburnt cheeks, shock blonde hair. the galaxy will not remember him that way.

they will know him as monstrous. she knew him as kind.
