50 Things About Anakin
Feb. 6th, 2008 11:21 pm1. Anakin suggested naming the twins after Luke-who-ran-the-diner and Rory. He didn't mention why to Padmé, who knew better than to push it.
2. He has a tattoo of the Jedi symbol on his left hip. He'd really hoped Rory would be the only one who'd ever see it. Sorry, Sheppard.
3. He hates having something covering his face.
4. If he's not on campus, he's carrying a lightsaber.
5. He has an alphabetized, encrypted file of everyone who's ever wronged him. He updates it weekly.
6. He's very ticklish.
7. Sometimes he misses being 6'6". He'll never admit it.
8. He’s still not quite sure what Rory sees in him.
9. One of the biggest regrets in his life is not stopping what happened to Alderaan.
10. He’s not at all sorry about the Han-in-carbonite thing, though.
11. He drinks coffee because he’s pretty sure he wouldn’t be allowed near Stars Hollow again if he didn’t. He likes caf better.
12. He’s fluent in a half-dozen languages, conversant in dozens more and can curse like a longshoreman in the native language of any planet in his galaxy. The first two were because Obi-Wan didn’t like to use protocol droids. The last one is because it amused Anakin to learn it.
13. He’ll never forgive Obi-Wan for not training Luke better before sending him up against the Emperor.
14. He doesn’t know Yoda is still alive.
15. He’s only been in love with three people in his entire life and he destroyed two of them. If he stopped to think about what that might mean, he’d be petrified.
16. When he teaches, he slips into repeating clichés Obi-Wan used on him. He has no idea he does it.
17. It took him 45 years to stop blaming other people for his mistakes. It’s still his instinctive reaction to something going wrong.
18. Anakin has a pathological need to win, so yes, he’s still grumbly about that RISK game.
19. He messes with John Sheppard because it’s fun, but he does have a list of places to hide the body if John ever really hurts Jaina.
20. Sometimes he wonders what might have happened between him and Aeryn if they hadn’t met John and Rory.
21. He’ll never forgive Angel for injuring Luke, but he has no problem with him being in the wedding party. He sees no contradiction in this.
22. He has absolutely no patience for politicians from any planet.
23. He hates sand.
24. And loves showers. His water bill is ridiculous.
25. After his mother died, he never stepped foot on Tatooine again. He never plans to. If Tarkin had asked, that would have been his suggestion for a Death Star demonstration.
26. He still can’t believe his children will marry Han Solo and Mara Jade.
27. He loves how much Jaina is like him. He wants to smack her twin brother in the head. He’s afraid to meet Anakin Solo.
28. Anakin’s toothpaste tube is the most anal-retentive thing you’ll ever see. His bed is made daily, complete with hospital corners. He doesn’t know Vladdie spends most of the day drooling on his pillow.
29. He doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with his hair.
30. He’ll never grow a beard. That was Obi-Wan’s thing.
31. One of the great frustrations in his life is watching teenagers make the same stupid mistakes he did. He wants to smack the cockiness out of them with a stick. He’s beginning to think that’s why Yoda had one.
32. In his heart of hearts, he’s not sure that the Order Luke creates are really Jedi.
33. He still wonders if he should’ve just killed Umbridge.
34. He wonders how things would have turned out if Qui-Gon hadn’t died.
35. He never forgave the Jedi Council for rejecting him when he was nine. He’s spent the rest of his life waiting to be rejected again.
36. He was never defeated in space combat. No, he doesn’t count what Han Solo did to his TIE fighter as a defeat.
37. He’s starting to understand where the Council was coming from with their ‘no attachments’ idea. He still thinks it’s profoundly misguided.
38. He’s hurt that the AU universe didn’t spit out any children for him and Rory.
39. He treasures the memories of Luke as a toddler for a weekend.
40. He’s thinks he’s a failure as a father and is convinced Leia will never speak to him.
41. He hates the island for giving him Padme for a weekend and then taking her away again. He wonders if it’s a betrayal of Rory that he still misses his wife.
42. It took him weeks, but Anakin has the total number of people he killed broken down by personal action and through indirect orders. One number is in the millions. The other is in the trillions. He’ll never share either, but he thinks of both of them before he falls asleep every night.
43. He thinks ‘The Hero With No Fear’ is the dumbest nickname ever.
44. He’s never happier than when he’s flying.
45. No one but Padme will ever be allowed to call him Ani.
46. There are maybe two dozen people in the universe he gives a damn about.
47. He’s terrified that he’ll slip back to the Dark Side.
48. He plays the banthabell. Sullenly.
49. Anakin sleeps so he is the first body between the door and anyone else.
50. Rory was the last thing he saw before he died. He’ll never tell her.
