‘ i guess, but if you live in the past you’re more than likely to perpetuate the same actions you want to avoid. it’s best to forget and let go. ’ HE WAS YOUNG, and he could not count his words as wise, but he is resolute. one thing he knows about this big unknown is that forgiveness is easy to find and to give if you meet the right people. to continue to live in the past, to dwell on actions that have already altered the world, it was useless. YOU CAN’T CHANGE THE PAST. so you change your future, shape it and yourself into something more than you were when you were in the past days. BECOME MORE. ‘ ANAKIN? that’s a nice name, i’ll use that. ’
the apparition holds finn’s complete attention, and when he searches the fleeting form that seems to waver in and out of his focus, he finds no darkness. he doesn’t know what he expected, with kylo’s reverence for the man ( a knowledge he had gleaned from rey’s sorrowed ramblings during his comatose state ) finn has expected nothing less of tyrant, someone without this COMPASSION that warmed him.
‘Peace.’ he finds some semblance of calm in the military stature, as he had when he stood at captain phasma’s side. familiarterritory in all this uncertainty. the fluttering of his heart calms and the salt that burns at his eyes is quickly swiped away. he mustn’t cry, he mustn’t. ‘ but if what if i’m not able to PROTECT them. they’ve done nothing but help me over and over, and i am nothing but a burden. at this point it’s becoming clear i should probably be DEAD. ’
❝ LEARNING FROM THE past is not the same as living in it. ❞ Finn would be less willing to defend the spirit had he received a less glorified education on the Empire && its reign. He was apart of an institution with the same standard of cruelty as the First Order— nay, the very inspiration for it. && Vader, its most ruthless perpetuator: death cloaked in metallic darkness, sheathed in a sorrow wrought by his own hands. He’d help leave this galaxy in ruins, but to Finn he’s — ‘nice’.
The spirit reaches out for the boy, translucent fingertips warming his shoulder like sunlight. ❝ I once thought the same thing. ❞ A sudden solemnity casts across Anakin’s face. ❝ I feared I would not be able to protect the ones I loved, && in an effort to save them from death, I became their murderer. Your skills as an warrior can be improved upon,all this you will learn in time. But your heart — ❞ Stars && galaxies spun into a person, the light shines through his outstretched hand, weaving constellations as it hovers over Finn’s chest. ❝ You defeat yourself by saying such things. You are not a burden to your friends, but you risk falling into despair by seeing yourself as one. The dark side feeds on these negative energies. It offers an easy, seductive solution to your fear — but at what cost? ❞
The ghost pauses then, pulsing dully with blue fractal prisms as he thinks. ❝ But the light is always there. The darkness only defines it. Close your eyes — ❞ he demonstrates, ❝ feel it all around you, the cosmic Force && the living Force. ❞ It spreads before them, vaster than any ocean, struck through with the luminous branches that interconnects all sentient life.
Hello and welcome to my blog! Thank you for taking the time to read my rules, I'll try and make this as quick as possible.
I only roleplay with mutuals. All my opens are for mutuals unless otherwise stated. But if we're not mutuals you're welcome to ask me questions and send me memes. I'm absolutely oc-friendly. So long as you have a rules page and an about, we're good.
I'm happy to write one-liners, paras, novellas, crack, or pretty much any content so long as my writing partners discuss it with me before hand.
(I will tag anything in my writing or reblogs that I think may be triggering. If there's something that triggers you untagged on my blog just pop me an ask and I'll be sure to tag it for you.)
I'm multiship and ship-exclusive. Meaning I'll ship with multiple people but only with one version of each character.
*Padmé is an exception to this rule as her relationship with Anakin is canon and vital to his characterization.
I'm not exclusive. Not unless you ask and we've established a good writing dynamic. I'm not a big fan of auto-exclusivity and if you require this of your followers there's a good chance I'm not going to follow you.
I hope i don't actually have to say this but just in case: god-modding will not be tolerated. If we're writing a battle scene i'd rather just pre-determine the winner than get into an ic dick-battle.
I'm not going to send in passwords on rules. It's an anxiety thing. rest assured i will read your rules. don't worry.
If a blog is inactive for 2+ months without a hiatus notice I'm going to likely unfollow you. Again, this is an anxiety thing and cleaning out my following helps me feel a bit more organized. But if you become active on that blog again I will definitely follow you back.
The art used in my background can be found here and here . The gif used in my header can be found here.
Finally, my name is scout, I'm 20, a sophomore in college, and a loser. Replies and activity is going to be spotty on this blog because of that. If we're mutuals i encourage you asking for my discord, I'll send you memes.
verses
CANON.
AU.
PRIVATE.
TAKE THE LIGHT INSIDE YOU.
Freed from slavery on Tatooine and freshly initiated into the Jedi Order, Padawan Skywalker works tirelessly to prove himself to the meticulous Council and earn his Knighthood. But with age comes uncertainty, and the beginning of a series of terrible nightmares featuring his mother's death. Every day the bright, enthusiastic child Qui-Gon Jinn brought to the Temple grows more and more distant from himself and others.
WEAPON OF WAR.
The galaxy is at war but Anakin Skywalker is fighting more than just external battles. Suspended between his loyalty to the Order and his loyalty to his wife, Anakin struggles to find a guiding light in the increasing darkness. And now that the nightmares have returned with his wife as their new feature, Anakin has begun to grow more and more desperate for a method to save Padmé from what he believes to be her doom.
THE WORST PARTS OF HIMSELF.
Anakin Skywalker died with the Republic, and in their place rose the Empire and its right hand: Darth Vader. Who will stop at nothing to rid the galaxy of every lingering memory of the life he had before his fall.
WHAT A MESS I LEAVE
Redeemed in the eyes of the Force, Anakin Skywalker has been granted sentience beyond death, allowing him to reach out to his descendents and warn them against repeating his mistakes.
FILTH TEACHES FILTH. stranger things Before 008, before 011, there was subject 001. Anakin Skywalker, the first of an entire generation veined with strange, incomprehensible powers. Disappeared at sixteen after his mother's mysteriously unreported murder at the hands of a local gang. His escape preceded 11's only by a few years, && now he's back in Hawkins on the trail of Brenner's prodigy.
SPANDEX & STEEL. marvel/dc
Born and raised in Tatooine, New Mexico, Anakin didn't think himself any different from the rest of the lonely souls living in the desert. That is, until his mother was killed by local gang members, jumpstarting a series of strange murders that forced him to go on the run. He's a metahuman, a mutant; with strange powers he can't control and the blood of several seriel murderers on his hands. Sometimes he owns a small car shop just outside of town, and sometimes he doesn't have a home at all.
WHEN THE WAR WINS. modern
Anakin, a war vet secluded in a no-name town in the middle of New Mexico, works to overcome his ptsd by becoming a hermit && buying the house his mother died in. His progress has been shaky, for obvious reasons.
DON'T CALL THIS REDEMPTION alternate ending
Believing himself to have died after passing out at the end of ROTJ, Vader, or Anakin now, awakens to a post-war galaxy to discover the eternal peace he sought is still far out of reach. Now a prisoner of the New Republic, Vader works alongside the Rebellion in secret as they dismantle the last vestiges of the Empire.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF LEGACY.
A private verse tied into ahphra's Sith verse and shadcwpreacher's alternate background. In this verse, after being rebuffed by his son, Vader looks to train Doctor Chelli Aphra as his apprentice.
The dark is generous, and it is patient. It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt. The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout. The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light. The dark’s patience is infinite. Eventually, even stars burn out.
AND WE ASK OURSELVES
Are monsters born, or made?
Let me tell you the story that's been scored into the stars. The family that turned the galaxy upside down. There was a man, with the weight of a prophecy lining his shoulders, and a thermonuclear furnace in his heart. He loved a woman, a proud, strong, kind woman who loved him equally, despite the anger, and the Darkness that grew in him. And the man watched her die every night in his dreams.
That man told himself if he can carry a prophecy, he can prevent a dream from becoming reality. Whatever it takes.
Whoever it takes.
SO WHAT HAPPENED
The man exchanged his loyalty for her life, and killed the people who raised him. He ended a war in one night, the fire of the gods burning behind him on a metal moutaintop.
The woman he loved was no fool, she could sight a fire started in her name. A queen knows when someone is bowing.
She meets him on a molten planet, begs him to stray from the Darkness. But there is a shadow in the place of the man she loved, a monster.
He takes her breath to silence her, doomed to paranoia on the arrival of his brother, who is too, in some ways, a shadow. Forced to kill the man meant to save them all.
So the man dies, and is reborn. Baptized by fire. The woman he loved dies too. And eventually, even the brother dies.
