Character Meme: Anakin?

I replied:

1. Sexuality headcanon: and now I do get a grey-ace fave! Padmésexual!Anakin is canon to me, lol. 

2. OTP: Anakin/Padmé, though it’s kind of … less that I like the actual writing of it and more that it’s such a Fact to me that I can’t see them any other way.

3. BROTP: Does Anakin and Luke count? That’s the Anakin relationship I actually care the most about. 

4. NOTP: Anakin/Obi-Wan. Teacher/student is a pretty big squick for me (all the more since I got into grad school >_>). I don’t mind it existing or anything, it’s just Not For Me.

5. First headcanon that pops into my head: Anakin was genuinely created by the Force and is not quite human, though most people don’t realize this.

6. Favorite line from this character: okay, that’s super hard to choose. There are a lot that are just super entertaining, a lot that are interesting character-wise, a lot that are super touching. Probably in terms of evoking the most ~feeling from me, “I am your father” (for multiple reasons) or “Just for once, let me look on you with my own eyes” (T_T).

7. One way in which I relate to this character: I, too, am a super intense person who has devolved into just kind of tired.

8. Thing that gives me second-hand embarrassment about this character: AOTC.

9. Cinnamon roll or problematic fave: problematic fave, despite certain parts of the fandom’s attempts to make him into… not that. And I love him for it :D
