what are your headcanons for how anakin might be a bit not-quite-human due to being an actual force baby? if you have any

themoosejthm:

I have so many and…I honestly kinda trickle them into my writings all over the place. In little things and details that aren’t for anyone else but me to grin at. 

But they all have these things in common, so I’ll yammer on about those:

• He can see and hear in more places of existence than he should be able to 
• He can see time concurrently if he concentrates – it’s why he’s such a good strategist – but it also means he can see the past and the future in equal measures. This makes meditation a fucking nightmare. 
• In every version of Anakin Skywalker, he experiences some form of body dysphoria because there’s a sizable part of him that isn’t used to having a single form, unchanging. 
• If his mother had been anyone else, he might have had a less human shell and wouldn’t have been able to become Darth Vader at all – how do you put someone into a iron lung, after all, if they don’t have a single form?
• His love is the thing that keeps his form stable – even as Darth Vader, he was still heart-endingly in love with

  Padmé

  and he still loved Obi-Wan as much as he hated the man and he loved Ahsoka still even if he never wanted her anywhere near him ever again. He loved Sheev Palpatine still and hated himself for the dependence. 

• The Dark and the Light whisper and coo at him at all times and both of them are more than capable of doing him serious harm if he isn’t paying attention
• The first time he saw

  Padmé

  Amidala he saw everything she was, could ever be, ever would be, and everything she could not be. It was so bright and so much and he could remember, in the deep places of himself that cry out in agony at all times, that they were connected somehow. He asked her if she was an angel because what else could she be?

• He can feel planets pretty much at all times, like white noise. Sometimes they sing or hum, but mostly it’s just the sense of the gravity, of the environmental stress, of the draining of resources, of the life happening on it. If he reaches too much with the Force, he can loose himself in them. 
• His emotions make his control better, make him stronger – regardless of what those emotions are.
• He can reach across star systems and feel Padmé with only a little bit of strain as long as they’re both in the same core of the republic – like, if they’re both in the core, or the mid-rim, or the outer rim. This is terrifying because each core has quite a LOT of star systems and even Yoda can only feel things happening in the star system he is currently in.
• He should be sterile from the amount of radiation that flows through his blood naturally, but isn’t. He should be toxic to be around, his blood acid, but neither of those things is true in practice
• If you look at him in the Force, somehow manage to make your eyes see a plane that isn’t supposed to be seen just felt, Anakin has wings and scales and fins and eyes everywhere. He shines and vibrates and drips blood and stardust. He has claws and fingers and teeth and fangs and a gaping mouth with multiple tongues. He is terrible and beautiful. 
• Being half force did not save him from anyone, if anything it made things worse
