A game of giving Obi-Wan flowers

This is me having fun writing micro fics giving lots of flowers to Obi-Wan and playing around with flower language.

(disclosure: I have no/little idea what I'm doing, so don't judge me too harshly if I make mistakes)

1.

Anakin looked around the vast and luscious room, his eyes wide with wonder as the sound of trickling and rushing water permeated everything. Astonishment and awe was evident in his gaze as it sought Obi-Wan's.

“It's okay, dear one,” Obi-Wan assured, the endearment escaping him unexpectedly, “go on, explore, I'll wait for you here.” He pointed towards a clearing where a small pond formed the center.

After a last hesitant glance and an assuring nod, Anakin set off, his entire existence glowing with eager curiosity.

Chuckling to himself, Obi-Wan sat down, crossing his legs. He closed his eyes expecting that it would be quite some time before his Padawan returned to him, and he intended to use the time to meditate and collect his thoughts, Force knew he needed it. He allowed the peace and everlasting sound of water to wash over him as he slowed the rhythm of his breathing. Opening himself to the Force, he was mindful of the still tenuous thread that bound him to Anakin, not that the boy was difficult to sense, his presence like a beacon even here.

Obi-Wan released a deep breath, sinking effortlessly into the flow of the Force.

Some time later, he returned to the present, sensing Anakin's close proximity.

He blinked his eyes open, a smile spreading across his lips when he saw Anakin holding a large flower towards him, the blue-purple color of the hydrangea stunning.

“I asked if it was okay,” were the first words out of his slightly blushing Padawan's mouth. “I didn't know if it was okay to pick the flowers, but Master Thana said it was okay.”

Obi-Wan smiled and nodded.

“Thank you. I appreciate this.”

Obi-Wan gazed at the flower still smiling. Anakin couldn't know it but he had unknowingly continued the somewhat unusual tradition of Obi-Wan receiving flowers from his closest friends. It was something that had started as a joke when he was a youngling and his fellow younglings had discovered his interest in flowers. Over the years, others had participated in what had evolved into a sort of game where he had to guess who sent him the flowers based on their different meanings or other hints.

Anakin sent him a bright smile, and Obi-Wan felt the new bond between them expand. The former slave possessed an unexpectedly generous nature Obi-Wan hoped he would be able to maintain.

“Come, Padawan, let us meditate together.”

He motioned for Anakin to join him in the lush grass, pleased when he obediently followed his instructions, sensing that it probably wouldn't always be this easy.

I made a few new wax seal stamps out of clay (like the ones I did for my worldbuilding stuff forever ago), this time just of random symbols that I thought might look good done in the style of painting over the raised part of the wax or etc. :0c Some of them aren't carved deep enough to really show up that well, but overall they worked okay for being clay lol

this is *maybe* a bit of a stretch but i still find interesting to think about? don't know if i have everything right

but

i feel like with the elemental opposite duos - emma & rikki, cleo & bella - you could reasonably say their arcs'd mirror each other in a way

like

emma and rikki have issues with responsibility/expectations but on opposite ends of the spectrum

emma was a gifted child, everyone had high expectations for her and she tried to meet those expectations the best she could. she’s responsible emma, who makes sure everyone is looked after, and everyone “knew” was going to become a top athlete, because look at all those trophies on her shelf

and then rikki on the other hand, was alone for “her own good.” she admitted to elliot that no one really liked her growing up, so when somebody did, it made her feel weird and she pushed them away. she stayed away from other people, made sure they never had any expectations of her

they both avoided disappointing others, by going to opposite extreme lengths

and then they overcame these issues, with emma facing a sudden change in her life (becoming a mermaid) that meant she had to give up her swimming dreams and disappoint the people in her life (that had to suck for her, honestly.) she had to come to terms with that - but then, she also found a whole new world that she’d never have been a part of, if things had gone the way she planned

and as for rikki - her biggest change wasn't the tail, but becoming friends with emma and cleo. had she'd her way and zane’d never gotten cleo stuck on that boat, she’d never become friends with them. rikki had to learn the hurdles of friendship and of keeping them, like when she mistook the different kinds of fish, when cleo and emma didn't support her relationship with zane, etc. they had their issues - but in the end, they were there for rikki, and rikki was there for them back. she'd have never gotten that kind of solidarity, had things gone the way she thought it would

and then there’s cleo and bella

bella - unfortunately, didn’t have much in terms of development, since the writers prioritized will’s relationship with her over expanding her character background+ for some reason ??

so i'm just mostly going to talk about cleo here first - but i'll get to bella in a second

cleo by s3 is a very confident and self-assured person; but she didn't start out that way. she was insecure, somewhat naive. she grew up overshadowed by her two best friends, the both of them being gifted in their own rights - emma, the young up and rising athlete, and lewis the science genius, they were sure to go places. cleo, on the other hand, was overlooked. she didn't have much going for her - except for adequate grades and a love of the marine life that was hindered by her fear of water

and then cleo became a *literal* mermaid. either she was going to avoid it or overcome it. in the end, she didn't just overcome her fear of water, but she also took a risk by taking that job at the marine park, where she'd be working right by the marine animals. she let her fear control her before, and she wasn't going to let it stop her from wanting to pursue things anymore

(funny, she started out with a fear of water, then became a mermaid. she struggled with her grades, then became a science genius)

bella, much like cleo - had her own issues when it came to the kind of attention she got, but the other way around. her first appearance, she was being catcalled. same ep, nate is drooling over her. they've made her beauty a point throughout s3. even cleo and rikki's brought it up. it. could not have been easy for her to deal with that, especially with her secret in mind

seeing that, even with the different issues when it came to attention, i think they'd still have had the same feelings about it. a younger bella, probably would've been similarly insecure/anxious as cleo had been - until she learned to be more sure about herself and grew into the bella we know and love today

(we should've gotten way more lore and background about bella, agh)

tldr; emma and rikki have same feelings but opposite reactions (people pleasing and people avoiding.) cleo and bella opposite situations but same feelings (overshadowed and center of attention)

yk, rikki was right in a way i think about the "universal law," but like, more about keeping in balance and not about trios. emma and rikki balance each other out, cleo and bella were *meant* to balance each other out. but in s2, bella wasn't there - charlotte was

do i blame the antagonizing of charlotte and cleo's out of characterness on the writers, or do i blame it on some magical semi-canon mermaid universal law about balance

blaming it on a mermaid universal law sounds more fun, and could have interesting implications. (though the writing grates me, still)

A game of giving Obi-Wan flowers

8.

Obi-Wan smiled and raised his hand in greeting as the two Jedi star fighters came hurtling into the hangar at what in his opinion was far too high a speed. Shaking his head slightly, he eagerly stepped forward to greet his Padawan and Grand Padawan, and even before he reached them, he could hear the constant friendly banter that always seemed to flow between the pair.

“It doesn't count when you just give them to him, the trick is to leave them for him to guess who sent them.” Anakin explained with a resigned, long-suffering expression, as if it wasn't the first time he had tried to explain this to his headstrong and willful apprentice.

At first the remark didn't make much sense to Obi-Wan, but as soon as Ahsoka spotted him she eagerly jumped down from her fighter and held a fresh bouquet of yellow, white and blue chrysanthemums from Shili towards him with a big grin as she cast a smug look towards her master who shook his head in resignation.

”Why thank you dear.”

Obi-Wan accepted the flowers and gave the young togruta a grateful smile. He loved how she always knew when to interpret and bend the rules if necessary, her sense of right and wrong well developed at a very young age.

He bowed slightly to her.

”They are perfect.”

genuinely think it's good and healthy to follow at least one person in each of your fandoms who reblogs good gifsets but has just...absolutely dogshit takes on the show, or who ships that ship you despise. keeps things fresh. keeps things grounded. you gotta stay humble
