#I think the kafka story is more vague and inconclusive than this but I’m massaging it for mind palace purposes

my friend explained to me kafka’s retelling of Odysseus and the sirens and I think that is the perfect way you would write a sith obi-wan arc, following anakin in an attempt to rescue him. like Odysseus ties himself to the mast of his ship because he wants to hear the sirens without being tempted, but he hears nothing because he plugged his ears with wax and goes insane and wants his men to go closer towards the rocks so he can hear them. like I think obiwans arrogance would blind him to any temptation and make him believe he’s completely immune to it, all the while he’s miles deep into the dark side, thinking the entire time that the problem is that he hasn’t heard the sirens yet
