do yall ever think about bruce/batman!clone danny standing in front of his bathroom mirror after finding out he was a clone and silently tracing his face. The slope of his jaw and point of his chin. The high angle of his cheekbones and the shape of his eyes, the curve of his brow bones and the shape of his nose. The volume of his hair and the way it curls and gets fluffy when it gets too long.
His hair is black the same way a crow's wing is black. His dad's hair is black the same way a black bear's fur is black. His dad's eyes are blue like the ocean is blue. Danny's eyes are blue the same way a glacier is blue.
His dad has a square jaw and straight flat hair, and he tans and gets a face full of freckles when he's out in the sun for too long. Danny burns like a lobster and his face remains untouched. Danny has a sharp jaw and tall cheekbones, and Sam says when he's not smiling there's almost something regal about him. You would never call Jack Fenton "regal" when he's not smiling.
Sam says when he's not smiling he looks scary the same way a stone statue is. Jack Fenton when he's not smiling looks scary the same way that german shepherd staring at you across the street is.
Do you ever think he grew up wondering if he was adopted. Because of course, he has black hair and blue eyes like his dad. But having the same color doesn't make you someone's child.
Or, worse, things he's heard from the other kids and the other parents and even some of his teachers growing up; that he was the product of an affair. And that his dad was just too stupid to notice. And Danny would defend his parents until the day he died, because Jack Fenton wasn't an idiot and Maddie Fenton wasn't a cheater.
But doubt comes in with fickle tongue. his parents swear up and down that he is their child when he asks about either. That Danny just had his grandparents' features, but he was their son and they loved him.
But Danny doesn't look like either of his parents. His mom's eyes are blue like an aquamarine and Jazz's too. And they burn like lobsters in the sun too, but Jazz gets freckles on her face and so does Maddie. And as Danny grows up he doesn't bulk up or get stocky like his dad did, and when he hits puberty he doesn't shoot up like a tree like Jack Fenton did.
He stays small, and they say he's a late bloomer (and he is), or that he just has his mom's height. But he's fast and has good stamina, and some days it feels like he's built entirely different from his family. That the things they went through growing up just didn't apply to him. Jack and Maddie Fenton both had acne and breakouts when they hit puberty, and Jazz inherits it and he's seen the amount of skincare products she keeps on her side of the bathroom.
And then he hits puberty and breaks out maybe once or twice, but his skin stays clear for the most part and the problems and changes his dad went through just don't happen to him.
And the truth is worse than all of the lies.
How horrifying.

arthur being able to feel merlins magic whenever he uses it bc it makes him feel all warm and tingly and at first he's stumped about it and goes to morgana for advice bc hello?? merlin makes him feel weird?? and its only merlin. it only happens when he's around. it's gotta be his fault. and morgana is like "lol nerd you like him" and he's like "oh fuck" bc he has the emotional intelligence of a walnut and begins to notice the warm and fuzzy feeling grows stronger the closer merlin is and is like "welp. im screwed" and then a magic reveal later and arthur notices the feeling happens whenever merlin uses magic and he's like "oh. thank god." and finally realizes the feeling was merlin's magic, not that arthur has feelings for him. it becomes the new norm and then merlin is dressing him for the day and makes a stupid joke before ducking arthur's hand that was going to cuff his ear, he laughs and walked around behind arthur and the warm, fuzzy feeling returns and he's like "stop. no cheating." and merlin is confused and arthur's like "i can feel you using magic, idiot. remember?" and merlin is like "i'm not using magic tho" and arthur scoffs like "alright, sure, whatever you say."
THIS becomes the new norm of merlin and arthur bantering and then arthur accusing him of using magic and merlin insisting that he isn't. then finally the feeling happens when merlin is staring directly at arthur, comforting him in a moment of vulnerability, and arthur can see his eyes remain blue but he feels as he normally does when merlin uses magic. he still accuses merlin of using magic but merlin just rolls his eyes and once again insists that he isn't, arthur can literally see when he uses magic bc his eyes flash gold. did they flash gold just now? hm? did they arthur? arthur then rebuts "then why did i feel all warm and fuzzy?" and merlin blinks thrice before grinning like the cat who caught the canary. he won't tell arthur about his feelings for merlin, he'll let him flounder for a bit. it's always fun to watch him be an idiot and as much as he wants to kiss his stupid face bc finally (finally) his feelings are reciprocated, it's enough for now to know that arthur feels the same. arthur is infuriated that merlin won't tell him. merlin is highly amused at his stupid not yet boyfriend
#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur#magic reveal#stupid x stupid#merlin finds arthur's stupidity amusing as if they are not two halves of a whole idiot#idiots in love#arthur my lil himbo how i adore you#fanfiction#fanfic#fic ideas#prompts#merlin begins to flirt with arthur but never admits to it bc he hopes it’ll push him toward the truth#it does as arthur starts to notice that yeah no merlin ISN’T using magic when he feels all warm and fuzzy around him#like two months later merlin and arthur are chilling in his chambers#(merlin polishing arthur’s armor and arthur pretending to be reading reports but he’s actually just staring at merlin)#the room is silent beside the crackling fire and the cloth on metal#finally arthur just goes ‘/ohhhhh/‘ and merlin snorts#‘finally figured it out?’#then they kiss and maybe cuddle and perhaps fall asleep in arthur’s bed#or they fuck#who knows

favourite thing: his new habit of saying uhuh/mhm and also this
#the first time he did it in unmortricken i was like Fuck Yes and little did i know he would just keep doing it the whole time#DESPERATELY hoping they keep both of these things. i Love when characters have tiny little habits sprinkled in their actions#to me these things kinda sorta symbolise him no longer being afraid to really be himself#like he no longer has to hide certain things about himself that inside of the cfc wouldve made him appear ‘suspicious’#since he IS like so much different than any other morty ever#also barely related but like. em is fundamentally such a good character bc everytime we see him he’s feeling something different#in his first appearance he was cold and distant because at the time he was new to being free and was strictly focused on his goal and wasn’#even sure if it would work#in his second appearance he seemed hopeful and honest both of these things just being a trap to get the people of the citadel to trust him#and his old colder self unfurling near the end after he successfully becomes president#in his third appearance he seems giddy almost. he’s constantly giggling before and after sentences and he’s super eager to just Get The Hel#Out. and also to reveal the truth to morty prime. make it so that he doesn’t have to be the one to shoulder everything anymore.#and this fourth appearance. apart from a few little details he really just seems happy and comfortable. the entire episode he was just doin#whatever he wanted and nobody got in his way at all. and i could not be happier#normal about this character!#rick and morty#evil morty#rick and morty spoilers#odiespeak

The occasional urge to doodle what my original theory on Loop was that I firmly believed to be true until the very moment of the reveal, for sheer fondness of the completely false and oblivious world I lived in for my playthrough
#this... isn't... spoilers but#isat spoilers#i feel like i should anyway ...????????????#when i arrived at the reveal i naturally became very off balance with loop. but i took a moment to think about it (while vastly overwhelmed#and did decide that i preferred the truth

he uses your toothbrush bc he thinks it's intimate but I'd just be dangling it from the tips of my fingers (contemplating divorce over this year long infraction)
walking into your bedroom one morning, naked save for a borderline obscene pair of itty bitty black boxer briefs, with YOUR pink toothbrush hanging from his lips while he happily yaps away about whatever it is he's talking about. toothpaste is dripping from the corner of his mouth and down the plastic handle of (it can't be overstated) your toothbrush, but he barely seems to notice.
"satoru..."
he stops talking and turns his attention to you, bright-eyed and attentive at the call of his name. there's something about his immediate, eager attention that reminds you of a puppy almost. he grabs the frothy handle of the toothbrush and scrubs at his molars while he waits for you to continue with whatever you have to say.
"...is that my toothbrush?"
he plucks it from between his lips and holds it up to look at it for a moment, as though he isn't well aware of what oral hygiene implement he has covered in his spit.
"don't be silly," he replies, popping it back into his mouth after a moment. his next words are a little garbled around the plastic and the foam of toothpaste, but you can still make them out as clear as day. "it's our toothbrush."
#liv got mail#genuinely an ARRESTABLE offence!!#i would be SO MAD at him when he revealed his truth#gojo x reader#gojo satoru x reader#jjk drabble#jjk writing#writing

jin guangyao’s tremendous capacity for both cruelty and compassion is core to his character. trying to insist that he is one to the exclusion of the other (and let’s be real: it is normally the former rather than the latter) does a disservice both to mxtx for writing him that way, and also to jin guangyao's role in the story.
#to be clear: this is not an invitation to provide me with an annotated list of his crimes as proof of his cruelty#i read the book. i’ve seen it. and i’ve seen what he does with his power once he has it#and isn’t under wrh or jgs’s control anymore#and when he isn’t being provoked into reactionary violence by threatening to reveal the truth about his marriage to qin su to the jianghu#salty peak sect 🧂

People often bring up the omake No Respect Time to use as Crocodad Propaganda, and y'know, I think there might be just a smidge more the omake can provide to Crocodad than what people have already discussed in the past
Like everyone's seen the comparisons between Crocodile and the anime screencaps of Don Luffyone, we all know how the two look so similar etc etc. But honestly, the resemblance is even more obvious (and hilarious) when you look at the OG manga version (Sidenote but Don Luffyone is the only one who smokes cigars in the omake... Everyone else has plain ol' cigarettes... That sure was a decision there Oda)
And yeah, you might be thinking I picked this mangacap of Crocodile in particular because the resemblance is the most obvious here and I have My Crocodad Agenda to push etc etc. But I will have you know that the original omake was from Log Book 5, which was published February 28th 2006. Meanwhile that Crocodile is from the cover of chapter 398, published February 6th 2006. So these were drawn by Oda around the same time. I didn't just cherry pick this cover page because it's convenient for my evil agenda, if these were drawn around the same time then the likelihood the resemblance is intentional does legitimately go up a little. (Also since they're both drawn by Oda instead of random animators, again, it's a bit less coincidental and could be a bit more intentional)
But as I said, I think there might be more to the omake than that.
In the past people have also pointed out and joked how a mere few months before Oda revealed Dragon was Luffy's father to us in the story (post-Enies Lobby), in the Monster Time-omake Luffy was depicted as a dragon.
Needless to say, people believe this was intentional foreshadowing (/trolling) to the Dragon reveal by Oda-- if not it'd be one hell of a coincidence at the very least.
The reason I'm bringing that up is that if people think it's safe to assume Oda was hinting at Luffy's heritage in one omake by making him a dragon like his father, then why couldn't Oda do the same in another omake (by making Luffy a mafia boss who smokes cigars like his father)? Keep in mind that Monster Time was published in May 2006 (in Log Book 7), just three months after No Respect Time. So again, these are from the same era. To me, that just makes the resemblance between Don Luffyone and Crocodile seem even less coincidental
Oh, but there's one more omake I want to bring up.
So people do often bring up Nerd!Luffy's appearance in One Piece Gakuen spin-off manga, pointing out how much he looks quite a lot like the Theoretical Child Oda gave to Crocodile in that one SBS. Yeah. So. 'Bout that.
There was this one omake called Red Hair of Class 3-Sea Time, in which Luffy was a loser ass nerd. And man, that resemblance
Like it's one thing when a spin-off manga drawn by a different artist does A Thing. It's another when Oda himself does it
#Moon posting#OP Meta#Crocodad#Sir Crocodile#3rd Year Class is from 2007. Can't remember what year the SBS Child is from but I'm guessing long after 2013??#Point is that I would considder the Theoretical Child the weakest piece of Crocodad Propaganda#Also just to re-iterate: even if Crocodile wasn't Luffy's other dad I'm sure Oda knows who Luffy's other parent is and what happened to 'em#Like it doesn't matter if it was some random chick who fell down the stairs or was kidnapped or whatever#It doesn't matter if Luffy's other parent is relevant to the story or not; I'm sure Oda knows The Truth himself#But also Crocodile's always been relevant in the story around the same time the rest of Luffy's other family is relevant to the story#You know what I might actually save these thoughts for a separate post hold on#POINT IS THAT THE FACT THAT THE TWO OMAKE ARE FROM THE SAME TIME#AS WELL AS THE TIME WHEN DRAGON AND GARP WERE REVEALED TO BE RELATED TO LUFFY#THAT'S A SUS COINCIDENCE. THAT'S THE POINT

now what if…… incubus!jade leech who falls in love with the human he’s been occasionally returning to for an easy meal (until it’s no longer for food but because he genuinely cares for you), but it’s frowned upon for demons to get too attached to humans because it just complicates the entire business of an incubus (loveless sex), but since he’s seen you so often he just can’t stop himself from visiting you. now it’s not even for sex. now it’s to sleep beside you, to hold you, to kiss you fondly. to act like your lover even though he’s really not meant to.
naturally, azul (also an incubus) isn’t too happy when he learns his secretary has been shirking his duties just to spend more time with a human he was only meant to service once. and floyd (also an incubus) is starting to get curious about the little human his brother has become so infatuated with.
#meraki mumbles#n/sfw#yandere twst#i am so normal about him (no i am not)#jade curling his tail around your leg when he takes you from behind <3#WAIT OMG HIS TAIL IS MORE EXPRESSIVE THAN JADE HIMSELF SOMETIMES AAAAAAA#he says it’s okay for you to leave but his tail is curling around your wrist OTL OTL#and forcing you to stay even though there’s no indication that he wants that on his expression#or when he has the most blank expression so you can’t tell if he’s angry or upset or happy#but his tail is swishing back and forth#jade lies so easily but his tail always reveals the truth hehe

Why do the FEH devs insist on ignoring Nabatean lore so much?
I recently had a surprisingly cordial discussion on redshit with someone about the "nabateans = colonisers" take, and one of the main points raised was that the game was purposedly foggy around Nabateans/Sothis/their story because it would obviously favor a certain narrative (and thus make another narrative look, uh, not that marketable anymore).
To be honest, we still ended up with a product that had a lead go "this race and its blood* is the reason why the world sucks" and yet that lead is still marketable enough to have raunchy cipher cards and 5 FEH alts, so I actually wonder if, while pissing on that lore had that purpose, it was ultimately pointless since Supreme Leader can still sell goodies despite her incarnation in FE16.
And not only Supreme Leader - but the entirety of WC where we basically have 70% of the cast crying/complaining about their "mixed blood" or lack of and basically adding their 10 cents to the "this race and its blood is the reason why the world sucks".
I mean, can you imagine Sylvain selling any goodies and alts if Flayn replied to his "wah wah people only are kind to me and want to fuck me because I have Nabatean blood :(" by some uncharacteristic "good for you, I have to hide my ears, had to dye my hair, have to lie about my family because if the truth is found out about my identity, I will be hunted and vivisected like an animal and harvested for parts by people who call my kin abominations - just like what happens in the game where the same people who call my kin "abominations" ally with a classmate who calls me a creature and pretends I am incapable of human feelings based on my race".
FE Fodlan's main selling point is its cast of students, for various reasons, but even if I tried to kid myself, Nopes and FEH made it clears : students are the main selling point.
If you spare more time and attention to the Nabatean plot/lore, the students either grow from "likeable" to "despicable" or worse, you won't gaf about them because yeah sure, Hilda might be upset because people expect things from her due to her crust, but it would feel like a "peanut" compared to Seteth's irrational (granted, it's not so irrational since GW exists) fear that Flayn's newest friends would dissect her if they learnt she was a Nabatean, and being conflicted by finally letting her have human friends and form bonds she crave, or protect her due to the trauma from the genocide of their species.
Don't get me wrong, I love peanuts, I mean, not everyone can have a tragik of loaded backstory!
And yet, given how this verse's DNA is "can you fight against the red emperor who uwus about you", they had to add copious amounts of Earl Grey to their games so there's no clear-cut factions :
The "Your alien blood and its influence on the world corrupted it, so I want to reform it under my command" vs "I don't want to die and you oppose me due to my race and side with the people who genocided my kin"
is turned to :
"Your alien blood Crests and its your church's influence on the world corrupted it, so I want to reform it under my command"
"I don't want to die and you oppose me due to my race and side with the people who genocided my kin"
Sprinkle with the cast's hammering here and there that the "reforms" might be needed - but never develop on what they are - and add a few baseless and groundless takes as a toping (basically everything Claude says about tolerance and the general "isolationism/foreign policy" stuff) and you get FE Fodlan where the Red Emperor's war isn't seen as the catastrophe it is in the other entries from the series!
Now, for FEH...
FWIW, the F!F!Billy's trailer had them try to explain that Sothis was a bit pissed about her slaughtered/massacred children when Nopes never gave any reason about why she was pissed - maybe on Billy's behalf bcs Jerry's dead, but come on, she would indeed deserve the medal of the worst parent in the franchise if that was the case, since Billy can murder her daughter without Sothis taking over ! - but given that they cannot write/go against the source game those characters are from.
They tried a bit, with B!Supreme Leader and Hegemongard's FB, but then it stopped (because she had no "new unit" released since then lol) and I can understand why : Hegemongard came out before the Supreme Emblem, and Hegemongard hates dragons who are seen/perceived as gods by some of their human followers. Come FE17, and now Supreme Emblem accepts Alear because they are "one of the good ones". We can come up with HCs and details and talk about what are emblems or if Hegemongard's views were only hers at the end of AM all day long... But imo, Doylist wise, it still feels it's a retcon because the devs from the main games tried to scrap and remove the most "controversial" traits she had.
For the other characters... Well, you see what Marianne is in FEH (but even in her base games), she's one of the few characters who reacts - in a way - to the partial history about relics and demonic beasts and all... only to give sad uwus to Maurice.
FE16 (and Nopes) refused to have any "student" character react to the Nabatean lore/reveal, about what are relics and all. There are no lines, Claude shared some knowledge in the explore section of VW's last chapter, but we don't have anyone muse or think or even talk about what are relics, what are crests, and what kind of fuckery their ancestors or the ancient humans of Fodlan did.
With that in mind, FEH can't do much : either they write Marianne in a retcon-y way like what happened for Hegemongard (and they're not afraid to piss on characterisation, look at Lyon!), or they flanderise her "character" and develop her around 3 lines she had in the game in her paralogue, and continue to give sad uwus about Momo when he was at best a guy who slaughtered and murdered so much that he abused the Nabatean turned into a relic to the point where he turned in a demonic beast even if he had a matching crest, or at worst, had been part of Nemesis's piñata party in Zanado and was something of a genocider.
Tldr :
Why FE Fodlan never gaf about Nabateans : earl grey + the marketable cast has to stay marketable and you can't sell peanuts at the same price you'd sell swordfish
Why FEH dgaf about Nabatean lore : they can't afford to retcon characters + they have to sell peanut alts with the same seasoning they had in their base game.
For what it's worth though, I think FEH is more daring than the base game(s) given how they gave more lines and screentime to Rhea - through her different alts - than GW. And they even designed her Halloween!alt's lines to piss on some of Claude's assertions, while the various FB involving members of the church also - indirectly - reply to some accusations thrown their way in FE16 when, FE16, never gave them an opportunity or lines to explain that those takes were full of dung.
*"but random, maybe she doesn't know that the crests she often decries is "dragon blood"!"
It's highly debatable, especially given what she and Hubert throw to Billy in CF - but even if she doesn't, Doylist wise we still have a character who, knowingly or not, says "this race and its blood* is the reason why the world sucks" and who is never called out on her prejudice. That's more of an issue regarding the general writing though, she has to be a red emperor and took pages from Ashnard's book, and yet, the player must still feel bad and want to romance her, so her mindest/goal cannot be looked at too closely, because, I guess, even the devs thought it would be difficult to romance her (thus sell goodies!) if more light was shed on the "blood from this race corrupts our people" schtick -> which in turn would also make characters whose backstory and gimmick rely on "crying about crests" be way less likeable, thus marketable and able to sell goodies.
#anon#replies#heroes salt#fodlan nonsense#they can't develop stuff about nabateans else the people would wonder if this thing existed in FE16/Nôpes#and we all know people siding with the Agarthans would have like#a harder time justifying being allied to the Agarthans even if they don't know everything that transpired between them and the nabs#and yet Pelleas is accused of being a moron for listening to Izuka when he didn't even knew Izuka was the one who#developed the feral subhuman drug and earnt a PHD so#in the end everything's always about money#I'd buy in a heartbeat any Hilda (fe4) figurine#but i guess thes devs/money makers believe that antagonists at least in this franchise don't sell as well as marketable characters#like prime waifus#hell even UO started to print figurines of the main heroines but none as of yet of Alcina#can you imagine if the uwu overprotective dad joke#that is basically the crux of the Flayn'n'Seteth's relationship#was more developed in the lines of Seteth being afraid that Flayn would trust humans too much and reveal the truth about her#in a gesture of friendship and trust! and it would turn against her#I mean isn't it basically why the nabs are pissed at Adrestia??#Rhea trusted Willy about her pointy ears and now Willy's scion wants them out of Fodlan because their ears are pointy#or Flayn really getting along with people but ultimately not being able to trust them fully because she cannot tell them the truth#and maybe her support friends and all either pulling what everyone does with Marianne#or have the issue resolved in a more meaningful way like Nabs finally accepting to trust humans again in a plot relevant cutscene#and Flayn's final supports only being available after that cutscene#but we couldn't have that at all because again#Earl Grey + peanuts#can you imagine Sylvain getting a convo with Flayn post reveal?

evil rick is so good because hes the first and best example of how just cringe and melodramatic evil morty is in the way he acts while being controlled by him. the slow clap, the like fake orchestra director thing he does when hes talking about the symphony of morties, the ‘we’re not so different you and i’ lines, the cut-throat hand gesture he does when saying hes gonna kill rick. u get what i mean all of that is evil morty doing that except it’s him replicating the behaviour of a rick except all of that stuff is kinda just how he is anyway. i personally think he enjoyed it a lot he had fun with it
#is he not just the best thing in the entire universe#in fact.. heh.. i invented it no one else has even done it here before#?????? YOURE SO CUTE.#also little side note this is something that’s been on my mind for a bit#when evil rick says if theres one truth in the universe its that ricks dont care about morties#it makes me So unbelievably sad because that’s genuinely what em thinks. he said that then and he still 100% believes it now. like that#straight up destroys me to think about#i know this first appearance was like the era of evil morty just being viewed as cool and unfeeling and quiet#but im gonna say. if i was there i think i would already interpret the way i do now just because of his performance as evil rick#like its not a secret. it was revealed at the end of the ep that it was really him all along#shoutout to the small percentage of people back then that portrayed em as ever so slightly goofy and fun#ive seen it a few times#rick and morty#evil morty#odiespeak

Hi! Since I know you love Stover’s ROTS novelization, I wanted to ask you what you thought about that part of the novel where Obi-Wan is holding back tears at the thought of betraying Anakin’s trust? I’ve seen some people call this passage OOC because Obi-Wan wouldn’t get so emotional when doing what was required of him as a Jedi, but I thought it was a sign of how Obi-Wan’s relationship with Anakin was so strong that it was the one thing that could come close to making him second-guess his Jedi duties. Did you have any thoughts about it?
Yeah definitely, I think canon Obi-Wan is a deeply human character, who exhibits the full range of emotions over the course of the saga, and those emotions are why he's such a compelling figure in Anakin's tragedy. We see him crying multiple times, notably during the climax of the Kenobi show, as he is especially emotionally vulnerable to Anakin. He cares so deeply about his brother-son-student-friend, and that love is trapped in circumstances beyond his control.
Obi-Wan holding back tears in this passage dramatizes how overwhelmed he is by his conflicting desires he feels to protect and defend Anakin, and to do his duty to the Order and the Republic. He's doing his best to balance everything, and it's not going particularly well. Anakin is wounded and slipping away, and Obi-Wan's actions have contributed to the circumstances that hurt him. He doesn't realize that Anakin is dangerous yet, but he does know that he's losing his trust.
I think in this moment he's not exactly second guessing his commitment to the Order, but he does tacitly reveal that he finds Anakin's extreme loyalty to be sympathetic to some degree, even admirable, a sign of his big heart and his generous, reckless dedication to the people he loves. Obi-Wan struggles to criticize it, as he's complicit in it when it comes to Anakin. It's a flaw they share, to differing degrees. Obi-Wan is mostly able to moderate it, and Anakin simply is not.
We know that Obi-Wan doesn't deliver a coup de grace either time he defeats Anakin in combat, and you can argue about whether or not it is consistent with the Jedi philosophy or an abnegation of his duty, but his love for his Padawan is never in question. He does his duty by taking the fight to the Sith, but he also cannot actively kill him when handed the opportunity on a silver platter. He's not an emotionless repressed robot, he's a man gutted by his desire to cling to a friend who betrayed him, and doing everything he can to rise above it.
It's just important to me that Jedi like Obi-Wan cry—that they feel anger and grief and terror just as much as any other sentient creature. What they do is allow those emotions to flow through them and not blindly guide them. Yoda and Mace have compassion for Obi-Wan here, but they also expect him to separate himself from his emotions and look at the situation rationally. Obi-Wan does that, even if he has qualms and is pushing down tears. I think it's extremely compelling, not OOC.
#obi-wan kenobi#light of my life#that passage is tattooed on the back of my eyelids lmao#rots novelization my beloved#sw#just in general it's interesting to me when people come to canon and decide that canon is actually wrong#for not matching the version of the story that exists in their minds#instead of allowing canon to reveal to them the truth of the characters and inform their perspective#if people choose to disregard stover's novelization of the film#i suppose that is up to them#but to ignore such a rich and lucas-approved body of material impoverishes one's understanding of who obi-wan is imho
