sits on the floor and thinks about how the twins' extreme force sensitivity probably connected them before they even knew each other

It took me longer than expected but here it is, another silly comic for my favorite fandom.
Heās tired
āLetās blow something up!ā
So like I hate it here (by here I mean my mind)
Like just wtf
I dunno if anyone is reading the World Between Worlds sequence like I am, but as someone with PTSD its giving me so many feelings about the process of ārecoveringā from war trauma.
How Anakin has being watching over her and seeing her become stagnant and sick and emotionless and pushing people who care away. Pushing away her identity and responsibility to train the future because of this weight on her. Sheās just going through the motions of being a Jedi.
And as soon as he has an opportunity he intercepts her. He knows how sheās been doing. But she sees him and immediately starts deflecting and putting on a mask. Reverting back to a teen and giving a cocky little comment about successfully hitting him. And heās like oh youāre so powerful and put together? Letās shake it up then.
And then sheās right where sheās always been, but now itās literal. Trapped in time in the war. Years and years have passed but sheās still that little girl. No matter what she does she canāt move past this point. Sheās never been able to leave. She sees the wounded and dead clones like she always sees them, and she feels so much guilt.
But Spirit Anakin isnāt there to feed into that. Heās here to get her to wake up. So he teases her. Ahsoka gets angry. HOW can he be so callous? How can he not care? Doesnāt he realize this terrible thing happened? And Anakin basically responds with brutal honesty. What the fuck is me being serious going to change? It wont take away the mistakes. But they were mistakes. You didnāt cause harm deliberately.
But Ahsoka isnāt getting it. Sheās so tired. She asks him, what if I donāt want to fight my guilt anymore? And heās honest again. Then youāll be dead. Fight it or die by it.
And then theyāre on Mandalore. And Anakin tries again to get her to see sheās more than this terrible thing that happened. But sheās still stuck and not ready to listen. She turns the blame on him. And Anakin is like oh this is what itās about? You want to give up because of me? You say youāre like this because of me? Fight what you think I am then. Why donāt you just let Vader kill you then. Fight or die.
And as Vader beats at her it finally clicks. She wonāt let Vader win. She wonāt let the terrible thing win. She wants to live! There still a spark of fight left in her.
And Anakin can finally let her go because he knows sheāll be alright.
