Oh no, now I really want to write some of these just for fun with Wake!Anakin, even though there's no way I can fit it into Wake itself. Mostly because I want to use the line, "Yes, blast it, I'm Anakin Skywalker, just Anakin Skywalker, not Darth Vader or Darth Starkiller or whatever that Sith-blasted moron is calling himself in this universe."

Also because having Wake!Anakin have to deal with a really angry, really dangerous Obi-Wan who's been in a high-security intergalactic prison for the past five years (for Reasons, a.k.a. Palpatine being a manipulative asshole) would be so much fun. Suddenly blue glowy ghost Obi-Wan doesn't look so bad.

(This will probably be what I'm thinking about during graduation today. Oh, yeah, btw, I'm graduating today.)

So I think the most important thing I took away from today's graduation proceedings is that I finally understand what a hundred fantasy and historical novels actually mean when they talk about characters keeping things in the sleeves of their robes. (UK graduation robes -- at least Leicester's at the MA level -- are very different than American graduation robes.)

I'm still in the country for another week and I'm kind of thinking that deciding to go on holiday for ten days with my mother may have been one of the worst decisions I ever made, because I love my mother, but dear god I just want five or six hours alone in a quiet room with my laptop. Also, I'm pretty sure that traveling with me is only fun for the first twenty-four hours; after that I get annoyed and snippy and apologize every three minutes because I know I'm annoyed and snippy.

Unfortunately we still have another week and two cities to go. SAVE ME.

Literally no one should be surprised that "semi-haunted, semi-sentient ruined and/or abandoned buildings" is something that I'm into. Except me, apparently.
