Not to yell even more about Anakin Skywalker but. He's such a childish character, and to that end I think he sees things in very black and white terms. Things are either good or bad or right or wrong and it makes it so much harder for him (not to mention making him immensely easier to manipulate).
He makes mistakes and then doesn't confide in people because he thinks they'll no longer care for him, as though love is that easier quantified or so transactional because people will either trust him or they won't or they'll love him or they won't. He can't conceptualize of people continuing to care for him if they know too much about him. And in turn that makes him far more easily affected by Palpatine because Palpatine echoes back those same fears to make sure he doesn't stray too far.
His upbringing contributes a lot to it because he could either be useful or not. Be strong or not. Handle what he needs to or not. It's a viewpoint built for survival which much like his other habits turns around to bite him long term.
I think that's a lot of what makes Anakin so devastating. Because in so many ways shit just kind of happens around him and he drowns trying to catch up. His entire selfhood is built around trying to claw onto any bit of control he can get and in the end? He intentionally gives it up.

The first scene opens on Han Solo scrolling through holo-tumblr. "Really?" he says, or types, "really?" The perspective shifts, so that we now look over his shoulder at the holo-tumblr post he's reading. It says "Which of these would surprise you more to find at your door?" and then the results for a poll with two options; the options' text is too small to read, but the bar for the second option is much larger.
"Eighty-one percent?" Han continues. "That many of you, would be more surprised to see a tauntaun than a Jedi? A creature that actually exists, than a mythical space wizard? You're all a bunch of superstitious idiots," he says, and then powers down holo-tumblr, or scrolls past, as the camera pulls away.
Cut to Han Solo again, maybe a bit older, in a different outfit. He's watching Luke Skywalker and Obi-wan Kenobi practice Jedi things on board the Millennium Falcon; then his expression shifts, as he remembers. He turns his head, looks around. "Don't suppose there's any tauntauns here?" he mutters.
Cut to Han Solo yet again, wearing another outfit, in the Rebel base on Hoth. A door opens; it's Luke Skywalker with a tauntaun, either ready to leave or just returned. Han turns towards the noise and motion, and begins to say something, then he simultaneously registers what he's seeing, and remembers. Behind his figure, the background is now no longer just the scenery, but the holo-tumblr post, from however long ago, fades in. Zoom in on his face, as his frozen expression slowly goes blank. The camera suddenly pulls back, and the normal background noises and scenery return. Han turns and walks away.
The last shot is of Luke and the tauntaun, looking at each other in mutual incomprehension.

Here's our fill for "Black Eye". :)
It's only been weeks since he became a Jedi, and Anakin is still struggling with the new environment and getting to know Obi-Wan. On the Coruscanti New Year, Anakin sees a fireworks display which sends him spiraling into a panic attack. It leads to a misunderstanding between him and Obi-Wan, but at least this once they have someone to help them communicate.

Between Sims 4 and SWTOR, I finally have a proper look down for Alisayn in my Star Wars fanon, although I've had the character in SWTOR for a long while.
For Sims 4 I had to make do with what was in the game, but I mostly used Journey to Batuu stuff. The idea behind her skin tone was to mix her parents' skin tones, so that she still has some of Dagan's pallor but it's tempered by Eliana's skin colour. I of course gave her Dagan's hair and eye colour, although I did debate on the eye colour before I settled on the icy blue.
The outfit on the SWTOR version is what she would've worn as a Jedi back in her day. Ended up having to use a placeholder outfit on the sim version of her, although I'm finding myself torn between the bun I gave her on SWTOR and the braided bun from the Star Wars pack I put her in on Sims 4. Which hairstyle do you guys think fits her better?
Aside from that indecision, I hope you guys like her, I'm really happy with how she's turned out.

Another round of older fic recommendations - somehow I'm still not done going through all my old FFnet favs. I'm including Ao3 links where I can and describing the fics in my own words.
The Master Manipulator by Guildsister - Robert Hogan has been fighting the Nazis in whatever capacity he can since before his country even joined the war and he's not about to stop now just because he's become a PoW.
This one isn't just a favorite Hogan's Heroes fic, it is The Favorite. The best I've read and what comes to mind first when I feel like reading Hogan's Heroes fanfics. Guildsister did a lot of research for this fic, the characterization of Klink here is my absolute favorite, and Hogan's back story just makes so much sense that I forget sometimes it's not canon. It captures the spirit of the show while grounding it more firmly in reality. It's rated T and found on FFnet.
An Unacceptable Sitch by Allaine - Kim's in college and out of the world saving business, or at least she was until Shego shows up one evening asking for Kim's help. The family that's taken over what was Team Possible's niche isn't the clan of goody two-shoes that everyone thinks they are and both Kim and Shego are going to need to put aside their differences if they're going to get themselves back in fighting shape to stop them.
This is the first in a series - six completed fics and one unfinished - that eventually winds up Kim/Shego for the ship. It ignores the events of S4 - I think it may have been started before Kim and Ron hooked up on the show? - so Kim and Ron never dated here. It's one of my favorite Kim Possible fic series, as it captures a lot of what I really enjoyed about the show. Kim's struggles with accepting herself and her feelings for Shego over the course of the series is also interesting - and considering her difficulties with her social life on the show, feels very true to the character. It's rated T and found on FFnet.
Home for the Holidays by Acid Rain - In which the orphanage gang gets together for the holidays and naturally winds up fighting a natural disaster. But the natural disaster is probably still a lot less stressful than the holiday shopping that preceeded it.
It's part of a series, but stands alone quite well. A Seifer/Squall post canon fic with lots of humor. It's actually a multi-author collaboration and I know at least one of them can be found on Ao3 these days. This fic, however, is rated M and found on FFnet.
Insomnia by tikitikirevenge - Link may have time travel on his side, but that doesn't mean he's got all the time in the world. He can only reset reality so many times before the consequences start to set in…
This one is an unfinished retelling of Majora's Mask. And while it doesn't seem likely this one will be finished, it's well worth the read. It really captured the unsettling feeling of Majora's Mask and the urgency of the time limit comes through with how here everything is happening concurrently - so while Link is helping in the swamp in the fic, future versions of him are already completing tasks in other areas. And he only has so many loops before things go wrong anyway. It's rated T and found on FFnet.
A Brief Account of Life With Zombies by Silverpard - The zombie apocalypse happens. Of course the Holmes brothers find it a nuisance more than anything.
A short but humorous zombie fic set in the Sherlock tv series. Not usually a zombie fan, but silly parodies like this are definitely my cup of tea. I was pleased to find this over on Ao3 (and there's a pod fic of it too) where it's rated G. It's epistolary style, with emails and texts mainly, so there's a bit of distance to the apocalypse too.
To the Sticking Place by zephyras13 - Ianto Jones is sent to Torchwood 3 before the destruction of Torchwood 1 as a field agent meant to keep an eye on the place for Yvonne Hartmon. And Jack hates him for it. But it is hard to hate a person forever. And there's more to Ianto Jones than he lets on.
It's a canon re-write with a dash of fix-fic, though poor Owen and Tosh still don't make it. It's really good with Jack/Ianto as the main ship - the disasters. It's rated M and I was glad to find it over on Ao3.
Truthfully by Salazarfalcon - Loki is absolutely all about causing chaos and starting trouble… but Earth also has this little thing called therapy and it's might actually be helping.
In which Loki starts working out his issues in therapy, discovers he enjoys self care, and becomes more than a bit attached to the Earth. There's no ship here, just family feels and Loki coming to terms with being lied to all his life. Rated T and found on FFnet.
To Turn to the Dark Side, Press Three by frodogenic - The true path to the dark side… being put repeatedly on hold with the insurance company. The hold music keeps playing operas about the Sith - it's really only a matter of time…
A ridiculously silly story about Anakin having to deal with the insurance company after having his arm chopped off by Dooku. He gets put on hold. A lot. The fic is rated G and is indeed on Ao3.
To Save the Queen by AwayOHumanChild - Sabe is living out her dreams of being handmaiden to the Queen when war comes to Naboo. First in a series spanning the Prequel series.
While it's partly a fix-fic, it's mainly just a 'what was going on with the handmaidens' fic. It's a lot of fun - I absolutely adore all the different handmaidens - and there's some Sabe/Obi-Wan going on (very, very, very slowburn) alongside the canon Anakin/Padme. Rated K+ on FFnet. At one point it did start getting cross posted to Ao3, but alas it appears that effort was abandoned part-way through the first fic some years ago. But the series is complete on FFnet and it's one of my favorite Prequel Series fanfics.
Letter to the Manufacturer by Alexis Seven - Kirk writes a complaint about the parachutes used during the mission to Vulcan and ends up in an email chain regarding product warnings and complementary parachutes.
A somewhat dark comedic take on customer service regarding the parachutes used in the 2009 Star Trek movie. Written in epistolary form, it's basically a series of emails back and forth between Kirk and the company that made the parachutes. Rated K+ and found on FFnet.

Mortis.
The only place in the entire galaxy so powerful in the force- Being the only physical manifestation of it. So many powerful memories here.. And yet.
It felt bittersweet to be back there, the place his fate was sealed over two decades ago. He'd barely escaped the death scare, clinging to life with his most trusted medical personnel, where he fled to mortis- Forcing them to murder each other until he had every cybernetic organ replaced with one's from his slaughtered personnel, where he proceeded to murder the last one out of mercy.
That was four years ago.
He had spent four years in isolation on a planet few knew existed- One of whom he was sure was dead.. Or so he thought. For the past several years he had slowly used the force to heal his body, here, where it was strongest.. He couldn't help but think he should've selflessly chosen to stay all those years ago, in the midst of the clone wars.
Maybe it wouldn't have come to this. Maybe the galaxy would've been spared from his rule with an iron fist.
The years had been spent not in complete isolation- With the off and on presence of the force ghost of one should-have-been master Qui-Gon Jinn, helping him guide him back to the lights embrace entirely, through his healing. It had been a long and frustrating road filled with guilt and agony. Some days he went off world, to get supplies, upgraded parts to make his prosthetics more bearable, hiding his face beneath a dark cloak.
He was back on mortis now, soft curls falling around his pale face, skin not quite back to its sun-kissed glory after decades of being beneath a full body suit, despite the time he spent innthe sunny forests and fields. He was sat in the soft grass, biting his tongue in concentration as he worked on tinkering with the prosthetics of one of his arms- Not even noticing the sound of a ship in the distance. He felt a familiar disturnance in the force, but.. no. He'd watched him die.. he killed him. Obi-Wan Kenobi was dead.
Oh, how he was about to discover how wrong he was.

Story Title: Where do you run when you’re at your limit
Fandom: Star Wars
Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49141915/chapters/123988198
Summary: Obi-Wan is a fantastic Jedi. He usually keeps his cool and does not let any emotions get the better of him. One might wonder if he actually does experience emotions at all.
But he has a secret: Behind closed doors, when he is alone or with those he most trusts, he will fall apart. He just does not like appearing so vulnerable in front of others.
This is how he gained people to trust with his most vulnerable self, and how they made it through the war.
Warnings: chose not to use warnings
Characters: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Depa Billaba, Quinlan Vos, Mace Windu, Luminara Unduli, Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, CC-2224|Cody
Pairings: Kit Fisto/Obi-Wan Kenobi, Cody/Mace Windu/Quinlan Vos, Depa Billaba/Luminara Unduli

And this is our fill for "Tranquilizer Dart". :)
In one universe, some of the clones have daemons. Despite societal norms, the Bad Batch and their daemons have always been extremely close with each other. And then, Order 66 happens and they lose Crosshair. They always knew they’d see him again after Bracca, but Hunter had not expected to meet him the way he did, after being captured on Daro. At least he’s not alone.

you know what while i'm already in "being obnoxious about star wars" mode i may as well commit so seriously just. look at them. there's an entire issue of vader having interweaving flashbacks of padmé and shmi while trying to rescue sabé in a sandstorm because this comic is painfully aware of the fact that she looks exactly like his dead wife and is the same age as his dead mom was when she died and he has so many fucking issues about this that he will never address. literally i can fix him x i can make her worse. sabé was explicitly canonically also in love with padmé and that was her whole motivation for approaching vader in the first place. this relationship is an on-fire garbage can. imagine if the two people from this post fell in love and also killed people together
