Zuko’s swt visits throughout their relationship :)
Just revisiting these guys as my day job is wildly busy atm and I have no time for personal art. Definitely want to do more of the ATLA AU in future!
Talk to me about your SW ATLA headcanons~
I’ve never been more thrilled to have been wrong than having realized this weekend that the GOP and Trump don’t really know how to utilize the assassination attempt against him without being off-putting little freaks (those ear bandages?? weird.) and now the cycle has moved on and no one cares anymore
Happy Black History Month, Star Wars homies!
The other crazy thing about obidala is how much more oedipal it makes Anakin.
Anakin's resentment towards Obi-Wan is already insane. The way he makes everything that's wrong Obi-Wan's fault is truly unhinged. I'm thinking of AotC and how Anakin brings Obi-Wan into his rant after he massacres the Tuskens and yells about how Obi-Wan is "jealous" of him. It is so unhinged really and truly. I love it, there's no actual logic to it, but there's an emotional logic. Like yeah, I can actually imagine a guy acting this way.
Anakin has this father figure who seems so perfect and everyone loves him, and Anakin can never measure up, so the father figure becomes an obstacle that has to be overcome. He's already a father-rival.
Padme's relationship with Anakin, meanwhile, already leans maternal. She looked out for him in TPM. There's the way she comforted him in AotC. RotS parallels Padme and Shmi, "I won't lose you the way I lost my mother." They are both these madonna-like figures Anakin is trying desperately to save.
So, Anakin already had issues. Add on top of that the idea that Obi-Wan and Padme had a relationship, or that Anakin at least thinks they did, and it makes this oedipus thing even more explicit. In Anakin's mind Obi-Wan and Padme are together as a mother and father, and he has to kill Obi-Wan to take his place.
I honestly think it's amazing that a blockbuster movie did this. I love Anakin's psychology so much. He's such a mess.
