This One Is So Old I Don't Even Remember When I Started But Tried Finishing It Today. Still Experimenting

This one is so old I don't even remember when I started but tried finishing it today. Still experimenting on how to blend skintones with pastels. Also I don't even go here, I haven't even watched this movie, but I saw a lot of pretty gifs and fanart and his look captivated me so here we are XD

not to start whacking the hornet’s nest but i think the most tragic part of ahsoka and anakin’s story together is that from the very first moment, it’s all based on a lie.

ahsoka meets anakin after aotc - he’s already committed an unjustifiable atrocity. he’s already slaughtered the tusken people, and as far as we know, ahsoka never finds out about that. and you know, that would completely and wildly screw up ahsoka’s perceptions of anakin

and i would go so far as to say it would screw with her image of anakin more than the vader reveal. because the vader reveal is like. oh shit your older brother/ best friend has turned into a monster and has committed genocide and is currently trying to kill you

but the tusken massacre reveal is like. oh shit your older brother who tucks you in bed when you’re sick and who makes you laugh so hard your ribs hurt has, for the entire time he’s loved you and you loved in return, been a murderer, and has actively been hiding a horrible, unjustifiable secret

the vader reveal is tragic because the anakin that ahsoka knows and remembers is, to her knowledge, gone forever. the tusken massacre reveal is tragic because the anakin that ahsoka knows and loves is based on a lie

I want a soulmates au where Zuko and Sokka are *not* soulmates but end up together anyway.

Because fuck destiny, we’ll make our own.

Update on the next chapter of the Groundhog Day AU:

Cut a big ol' chunk of the middle of the chapter, made some decent progress so far rewriting it to be much better, now, and am getting tentatively hopeful that the next update might even happen before the end of the week.

It is probably the chapter that merits the most tag warnings, but hopefully the dark humor lands again for other people.

Either way, though, I at least am having a delightful time with these losers and their quest to make each other miserable and become even worse people right now. Really gotta dig that hole deep before they start clawing their way back up, lol.
