Forever crazy to me when people write characters who have canonically (or semi-canonically in Legends) struggled with the Dark side brush Anakin off as a lost cause. Obviously in order to return to the Light you have to want to, I do get that and the characters are likely going to know that, too. But it's just so disingenuous to me when people have these characters be unforgiving and skeptical, ignoring that character's past and experiences. I'm not sure if it's just a lack of knowledge of the characters in question or if they just like using characters as Anti-Anakin/Vader mouthpieces but it really takes me out of a story.

#ngl this is mostly about quinlan vos but like idk! the jedi are about forgiveness!#and doing better!#and i want to clarify like i get that vader is constantly choosing not to repent until luke i understand that #and i get to an extent that by the ot some of the remaining jedi like yoda have lost faith that he could return #but i read a fic where quinlan was warning obiwan OFF OF LUKE??? WHO IS A KID???#bc 'they had no clue anakin would fall either' LIKE NO WHY WOULD QUINLAN #QUINLAN!!!#WHO WAS CREATED IN AND FOR LEGENDS!#WHO FAMOUSLY NEARLY LOST HIMSELF TO THE DARK SIDE WHILE UNDERCOVER!#WHOS FAMILY TRIED TO ASSASSINATE HIM AT AGE 6 #JUDGE LUKE FOR HIS FATHERS CRIMES?#AND THEN ACT LIKE ANAKIN WAS ALWAYS DESTINED FOR DARKNESS?#ill admit i havent read the 'canon' book that he is in yet maybe he said some bullshit in that that led people to follow this train #of thought but like hm #feels bad scoob #i think if it had just been quinlan saying something shitty about anakin it wouldnt have bothered me as much #even tho i hate the fanon that anakin hates quinlan/quinlan doesnt like anakin #but like... LUKE???#thats not my quinlan THATS NOT #fandom wank #comm chatter #wow that was a long rant in the tags sigjirgs #the fic was so good otherwise too
