- din djarin, just after boba fett's show ended

obi wan looks at anakin and is like "i just cut you into pieces and watched you burn?" and anakin is like "hey what thE FUCK?" and then luke tries to cut in to break them up and anakins like "who do you think you are?" and luke is like "luke skywalker, actually. whats your problem bitch?" and anakins like. "what" and obi wan is like "what" and anakin is like "who are your parents?!?!?!" and he has a reset when luke is like "well they died a while ago but i think my father's name was anakin"

and then QUI GON comes in and is like "wait are you anakin skywalker?" and anakin is like "yes- qUI GON!?!?!??!"

obi wan is like "oh my god im so sorry i just killed anakin" and qui gon and anakin and luke are all like like "WHAT"

and then din cuts in and is like "wait youre luke skywalker? you were my son's daycare teacher" and luke is like "WHAT?!?!" and din is like "yeah after i became the leader of mandalore you came and killed like 25 on-crack stormtroopers to get to him"

and bo-katan is like "IM SORRY YOURE THE LEADER OF WHAT"

and obi wan is like "wait but isnt the princess of alderaan luke's sister?"

and luke is like "I HAVE A SISTER?!?!" while anakin is like "I HAVE A DAUGHTER TOO!?!??!?!"

and then padme from revenge of the sith shows up and leia from a new hope shows up and padme is like "anakin? but you just choked me out on mustafar?" and anakin is like "WAIT WHAT NO" and then leia sees luke and is like "hey whats happening-" and luke is like "YOURE MY SISTER?!?!?" and han is like "I MARRY YOUR SISTER?" and leia is like "YOURE MY BROTHER?!"

and then anakin is like "WAIT I DIDNT KILL YOU" and padme is like "ANAKIN YOU PRETTY MUCH DID" and the palpatine from return of the jedi shows up and is like "oh hey anakin did you know you turn into a sith after obi wan slices off your limbs?" and anakin goes to obi wan and is like "YOU DID QHATTATTWQH+WHAT!!??!?!" and then hes like "IM A SITHHH!?!??!?!?!"

and obi wan is like "THATS WHAT I D I D" and then din is like "wait is he that darth vader guy i heard about who blew up alderaan?" and leia is like "WHAT THE FUCK THAT WAS MY FATHER!??!?!"

Feanor being handed a baby or toddler whenever he starts to rant bc it’s the One Thing guaranteed to stop him shouting.

Finwë discovered this quite by accident when Feanor was first presented with his baby sister because as soon as she was pressed into his arms he stopped complaining and started cooing.

Fingolfin going around armed with a baby (his own children, his brothers’ children, and grandchildren) whenever he knows he might say something that will upset Feanor. (Such as ‘hello’)

Feanor getting ready to swear the Oath and having Baby Idril (or Toddler Tyelpe) instantly pressed into his arms. The Oath doesn’t happen, the baby is comforted from the Dark and Scary Noises. It’s a win win situation.

bly sweetly wooing aayla by showing he loves every bit of her messy self as a person and not the idea of a sexy twilek Jedi one piece of mortifying ordeal of being known at a time vs aayla aggressively wooing bly by leaving him little gifts like an eager cat and showing off in battles and hovering around him the way a middle schooler tries to sit next to her crush
