#Obiwans wrath

[milesobrein]

Day 2 Discovery

I was reading a book, it was Star Wars Clone Wars Gambit Siege by Karen Miller, and O my God, Obiwan criticized Anakin so much. I mean, I can understand why Anakin killed him. Don’t get me wrong, I love Obiwan he’s one of my favorite characters in all of Star Wars, if not my favorite. But I understand. For Day 2 discovery, welcome to The Wrath of Obiwan judging Anakin's fridge.

Sidious: "'You are not allowed to use your Force powers on Orsis unless you are alone with me, and unless I grant you permission." (Windham, 69).

Now that I think of it, Maul was also commanded not to use the Force in his training with Deenine. His adult life as an assassin is similar: he is banned from force powers in Maul: Lockdown and is sworn to subtlety in other appearances.

It's like he has been training with one hand behind his back this whole time. I wonder how skilled Maul truly is-- could he take on a Jedi Master with a force collar on?

With the Percy Jackson series coming out right now have you ever thought about a Percy Jackson obikin au?

so it’s been soooo long since I’ve read the books and I really haven’t kept up with the show (though everyone has told me it’s very very good!! and it’s on my to-watch list!)

but with my little memory of the series, I’m thinking of an au where anakin is the son of hades (non negotiable) and obi-wan is the son of ___ (I’m torn but I’m thinking some very minor god)

and when anakin’s like 9, he’s at the age where he for real needs to get to camp because monsters are popping up everywhere and obi-wan’s just some 25 yo bystander dude that takes him in and tries to get this kid to safety — he himself has never been to camp and doesn’t know anything about the Greek gods, but he can see the monsters coming after this little boy so if he says he has to get to Long Island then sure, obi-wan will get him there

When they do finally arrive after many harrowing adventures and close calls, anakin absolutely throws a tantrum (featuring skeletons rising from the underworld) when the camp director tells obi-wan he really should go, thank you for delivering the chosen one safely etc etc because obi-wan’s godly parent is a minor god and he’s basically not that powerful of a demigod anyway and minor godly children don’t really have a place at camp. and obi-wans pretty ok with that cause this isn’t his life anyway

but anakin loves him and anakin wants him around and anakin will hide in obi-wan’s car and steal away from camp to stay with him if he does leave because he’s anakin’s now they’ve trauma bonded on their way across country 😡

so obi-wan gets to stay at camp in the big house and as the years pass he actually becomes assistant camp director and gets more and more authority because even though he doesn’t have a big 12 godly parent or whatever, he’s just so damn likable.

19 year old anakin has known this forever he’s thought obiwan was great for more than half his life at this point. The only thing that would make him better is if he gave in to anakins advances and let him kiss him a little.

meanwhile obiwan is comfortable in this world after a decade being in it and comfortable with the rules and with himself but there’s absolutely no way he’s going to incite the wrath of fucking hades himself by giving into the urge to bang his 19 year old kid, who obi-wan has cared for and known since he was a CHILD.

no thank you. He’s seen the destruction of anakin’s tantrums and he’s pretty sure that rage is hereditary

Hellu,

your recent post about Obi quittting the Order and becoming a senator on coruscant made feel some type of way and now I’d like to request a one-shot of Obi leaving the Order, becoming a successfull senator on coruscant and being in love with fem!reader. I dont care how you put her into the mix but I kinda imagine her as a senator as well and maybe they fell in love after he left the order and they met at a convention or something like this.

Oh and I adore your writings and am a huge fan of “conquered”-it’s awesome.

I received another request for Senator Obiwan haha and so I had to do it justice.

Hope you like it!

The Coruscant Spectacle

“Does he know?”, The reporter asked. You grew silent, it was easier to answer the other questions in this interrogation and make peace with the irony because of how it had all begun.

You wanted to make chief editor of the Coruscant times but you needed a story that would shatter the masses. As a woman, being caged with the daily columns of keeping the public enlightened about fashion trends made all this feel like an unattainable dream. It was, until you heard the news of his resignation. A Jedi abandoning the order and making it known to the public was, well the most scandalous thing to occur. Only that no one knew why? And as the rain engulfed you in it’s cold wrath, you knew you had found the perfect pawn for your game.

“That I love him?”, you asked softly.

“That you did not leak the article to the press.”, he corrected you. This metal room felt lonely and the hurt in your heart only caused more pain as you sat there, dejected. You had hurt the most innocent man, the man you loved, all for nothing.

“Oh that.”, you sniffed, tears where almost brimming.

“No.”, you said, suddenly having enough of all this.

“Is that all? I have a transport to catch.”, you furrowed your brows and it would seem that even the reporter pitied you. He had once been your colleague but now you were just another coruscant spectacle.

“That is all.”, he let you go and you left grabbing your things. This planet had burned you through.

---

It begun when you had disguised yourself as a lowly administrator looking to affiliate yourself with a senator, more precisely to become a part of his office. And so you did, working up the ranks, collecting pieces of information, living a dual life and it was all going well until Obiwan asked you to accompany him to a dinner with the press. He was going to make his debut at the Senate so the press wanted to know his thoughts and why he would be able to make a change.

“Why me?”, you had asked him as you matched his steps. A question out of your own curiosity when he stopped to look at you, a smile on his lips.

He took a moment to regard you. “I like your eyes, they never lie. You speak the truth and today I need it.”, he explained. His words, that moment, soon became the chink in your armour.

You stood by the sidelines, when he took to the podium to answer questions that had long been in the public’s mind, questions that had often plagued you having come to know how he truly was like. Kind and generous and compassionate. He didn’t deserve the backlash and yet he was standing here.

The Journalists began to plague him with questions that he answered patiently.

Why did you leave the order?

"I am a man who takes purpose from being of service and in many occasions I was not allowed to aid those that needed help when I was a part of the council. But I also did it for love and I will not elaborate on that."

Do you still keep to your Jedi ways, even though you live opulently as a senator?

"I do. Although now I have given myself the permission to enjoy certain comforts without the guilt. Most of what I earn is given back to the people or to fund my policies, so opulent wouldn’t be the term I would use."

How are you feeling for tonight?

He looked at the crowd when slowly he said.

"I would like my public relations manager to answer that. Most of what you see me as is all her work of art and she is the person I trust most."

The pang in your gut was too real, so real that you could feel your mind blank as you walked up to him amidst the flashing camera lights.

His smile, his hand on the small of your back ever so slightly caressing your exposed skin, his eyes looking into yours with utmost belief while you …

You cleared your throat and smiled to the expectant crowd. But as you were collecting your thoughts, he leaned in close, almost as if he was about to hug you, his lips touched the edge of your ear, “Tell me you believe in me.”, he whispered and you knew this day was all that you were going to remember your whole life because the months spent working beside him and with him had caused you to fall in love with him. You had abandoned the article, you had begun to live this life, all because of him.

“I haven’t crafted an image for him. He doesn’t live a dual life. What you see is exactly who he is. His love for the people and for justice is so pure you cannot help but choose his side. I believe in him and that tonight will sediment his victory in the Senate. I only used this position to get you all to see him, like I do.”, somewhere in between that you had turned to him as you spoke those words. His eyes beamed and with his golden hair he looked radiant.

Could he too feel the depth of your feelings?

The truth that sunk in was that the fraud in all this was you. So the moment you spoke the truth, you stepped away from him and left.

Months had passed and it grew exceedingly difficult to continue in this position, to work closely with him because that meant you had to see him and talk to him and notice his longing eyes and soft touches or his gentle voice asking you time and time again to join him for dinner. But you just couldn’t. You could not break his heart or take his story and run it to the ground. His fame and acclaim only grew, making it clear that you were not the woman for him. He deserved so much more.

But the day you had finished the article was also the day his bill for the clone troopers to have their only health cover and the ability to work after their service as soldiers was passed causing for a celebration. Just when you were about to escape he had somehow found you, taking your hand in his, he slipped away from his own party to his opulent suite.

“Obiwan, you should with our there, celebrating.”, you told him as he closed the door behind him. He looked rather frustrated as he walked away further. His blue shirt matched the colour of his eyes as it stretched and moved in alignment with his muscles on his back. He popped the top few buttons and rolled back his sleeves.

“Something’s wrong and you will not tell me.”, he cut straight to it. He was a negotiator, there was nothing that escaped his grasp.

His hair was set in place but as he ran his finger through it in an urgency, he looked even more distraught.

“Your campaign is a success.”, you put forth the truth to which he shook his head.

“No. Not the campaign. Us.”, he looked you in the eye as he said and the realization that there was no more room to hide became apparent.

“I didn’t know we were an item.”, you looked away.

“Don’t change the subject. That day, the press event. Why did you run?”, he drew closer but you moved away to the large living room that had an incredibly long sofa set and a warm fire.

“I had other things to attend to.”, you lied as you took a seat.

He sat next to you with enough space between you both for your pinky fingers to touch and the moment it did, it felt electric.

“I still know the ways of the Force.”, he turned to you.

“I know when you lie to me.”, he said softly.

“Obiwan.”, you whisper as a way to think of an escape but all you felt was his hand covering yours, not letting you go.

“Tell me the truth.”, he said with a noble authority.

“Everything I said then was true.”, you gave in, your heart hammering within your chest.

“Then why did you run?”, he asked again, leaning closer.

“Because I was scared.”, you said quietly and he stilled.

“Of my love for you.”, you admitted when his lips parted in the softest gasp.

“But you deserve someone better.”, you got up and he groaned.

“You deserve so much more.”, you took a step back and he glared at you.

“Don’t you think about it.”, he warned.

You picked up your pace.

“Stop running away.”, he demanded as you ran down the hallway, you didn’t have to look back to know he was chasing after you. To your surprise his droid blocked the door and so your eyes searched for any other possible exits. Having found nothing else, you  ran into the colonnade that led to his garden.

“How is it that after everything, you cannot seem to understand that I have fallen for you?”, he asked catching his breath, searching for you.

You couldn’t believe it, that all this you were feeling was mutual.

“You cannot lie to me.”, he voice grew closer.

“I can hear it in the change of your heartbeat. The soft warmth of your admiration or the truth in your words. I know you feel the same. So why do you put me through this agony?”, he demanded and you couldn’t tell him the reason. It would only hurt him.

“I do not want to hurt you, Obiwan. Can you not understand?”, you ask, growing anxious that he was going to spot you and just when you moved to run further, his hand looped around your waist pinning you to his chest. You could feel his solid form behind you as he breathed in deeply with his nose resting on the length of your neck, finally at peace that he had found you and you too had given up being out of breath.

“I lost my past love because my order failed to save her. I chose to be a senator only because I could not cage my heart again. I wanted to appreciate the relationships I had in my life. I wanted to be a brother to Anakin and not his master. I couldn’t let the council accuse Ahsoka falsely. I wanted a life where I would not be condemned for those actions. And by doing so I had fallen in love again. With you. Now you deny me of it.”, his breath was hot against your skin as he embraced you.

“I do not wish to deny you of it.”, you turned to him, your face construed in pain. Because you loved him, oh how wrong he had been to believe that you were keeping it away from him.

He looked down at you, in the moonlight, his skin glimmered and he looked magnificent, like he was actually a ruler of the glistening night. You gave into the beauty of the moment and thoughts that were resounding loudly in your mind. You touched his cheek first, your thumb grazed the top of his lip and you were certain he had held his breath.

“Trust me with the keys to your heart.”, he whispered and that was all it took for you to throw open the doors of your heart to him. His hands pulled you closer as his lips found yours and for a moment that felt like a lifetime everything in the universe was right. Your back touched the column as his hand slipped under your jaw to tilt your face up to him, to kiss you till he was breathless, till you forgot about the article.

You were going to delete it, right after this, it was going to be erased. But his comms pinged and he stepped away from you. His hair a mess, his cheeks flushed and his eyes alive like the sea. His face was glowing from all the happiness and you felt the same way too.

He looked at the message and his eyebrows furrowed.

“Is something the matter?”, you asked to which he turned his soft gaze back to you.

“Nothing. My presence has been requested to look at a possible leak.”, he responded.

“Do you want me to accompany you?”, you asked to which he smiled.

“No. Stay the night.”, he grinned as he kissed your forehead as you wrapped your arms around him.

“Come back soon.”, you mumbled into his chest.

He grumbled as though he didn’t want to leave so instead he placed a quick peck on your lips.

“It won’t take long.”, he said as he ran down the hallway, while you chuckled watching his retreating form. But you didn’t know that was the moment your whole world was about to be shattered.

Because when he returned, he wasn’t smiling and instead armed guards had come to take you away. Someone had leaked your article and the last thing you saw was him, seated alone on the couch, heartbroken as you were being taken away.

---

Now you were here, in the long line for a transport ship to the outer rim and a few other neutral planets. With only a small bag in your hand, you were ready to say goodbye to this wretched planet and it’s politics. The only longing in your heart was to tell him you were truly sorry and that all your love was in fact very real.

“You were his secretary weren’t you?”, some droid asked that stood behind you.

“The one that wrote this article.”, it continued but you didn’t pay it any heed.

“Leave the lady alone.”, said another voice and you were grateful for it.

“But why are you running away?”, the droid pressed further to ask and it had annoyed you. You turn to confront it.

“I am not running away. I love him too much to linger and see the pain I had caused.”, you jab your finger on its chest only to see it was a man wearing a robe, his head under a hood. But the shape of his lips and the small grin was enough to know who he was.

“What are you doing here, Obiwan?”, you whispered.

“Stopping you from leaving.”, he took your bag from your hands.

“Why?”, you stood in shock.

“I read it. The article. If it was a love letter that you wanted to publish all do was to just tell me.”, he chuckled.

“I don’t understand. You were heartbroken that night. I had caused pain once again in your life.”, you argued to which he shook his head softly and cupped your cheek.

“No I was sad that this system too did not let me protect the woman I loved.”, he drew you closer and stepped out of the line, you followed him.

“The senate wanted an investigation and I had to put you through it. I was there for all your briefings. I heard all your answers and never once did you say you did it to hurt me.”, he explained and your eyes grew wide taking in all this information.

“I believe you.”, he said finally and all you could do was hug him and let the tears fall.

“Now.”, he wrapped his arms around you.

“Don’t run off.”, he tilted your chin so he could see your face. The tear stains where fresh down your cheek, so he wiped them away.

“Never.”, you responded.

The headlines could say whatever it wanted to say. But the truth was right here, in the moment, as he held you close and took you home.

So thinking of hypothetical wrath and glory (40k dnd) thing, and totally want =][= Obiwan Sherlock Constantine as the inquisitor you have to deal with,

Campaign will start fairly basic, doing a mission for a rogue trader, or a bounty hunt or whatever, and halfway through, you hear a screech followed by a squelch of blood bursting out a wall

"fucking teleporters, for once in their damned circuits can they not put someone through a wall" he grabs something off the aide, who is squatched between bricks nearby, very dead, "Oi, which one of you cunts can read this map" and when a party member offers, "thank fuck someone useful is about, I'm Inquisitor Obiwan Sherlock Constantine, and welcome to the inquisition" as he conscripts you

I'm mostly imagining him as Whiliby (Constantine) from doom patrol series, but just full neckbeard, but randomly hyper competent, and has like, a power katana, long black trenchcoat, and a jury rigged totally-got-this-properly grey knight teleport thingy, so he can be moved out the way for players

[bruh-im-aggro]

NOT THE STAR WARS REFERENCE

TELL ME OBIWAN AND ANAKIN ARENT WRATH AND SAM CODED ILL WAIT

[fan-maddson]

“I will,” Fan promised. “Padme has no clue about us,” she continued. “Perhaps you are right; it may best I leave as soon as possible. This way there will be no chance of being found out.” She wasn’t worried for herself. She feared Obiwan and Padme’s wrath.

Fool's Journey

@fan-maddson

Leia moved with purpose, the book in her arms wrapped in cloth. She was on her way to one of the empty quarters where Fanndas, Luke, and Han should be waiting. The empire was winning and they had all lost so much already.

They’re only hope is to travel back in time and try to stop it from happening. They had to save Anakin Skywalker and stop Obiwan—the father of her and Luke—from becoming Vader. Palpitine was too strong and so was Vader.

She slipped inside and the door closed behind her. She saw her team around the table.

“This is all I could find but it gives us a start,” she explained, setting the book down.

She of course had no way of knowing that it wasn't Obiwan or Vader who was their father. She also had no way of knowing that doing this would ensure their birth in the past...but maybe it could still change their future.

[merrysithmas]

If Anakin actually embraced his demigod-ness what would he actually do? Like if he’s not doing Jedi stuff or something similar is he just chilling on some Force God planet until something requires his intervention? 

LOL hmmm... eat space grapes off the vine? swim shirtless through the pools of time? practice his Form V as a constellation in the sky?? cause blackouts with his rage? storms with his sadness? drought with his despair? sunshine with his wonder? run his fingers through the ebony hair of the fates, picking out the strands of his loved one's lives and uncoiling them just to gaze...

but honestly! If we go by The Mortis arc in TCW, The Father firsts tests Anakin to see if he is truly the Chosen One. He forces Anakin into a situation where his children, The Daughter and Son (who represent the Light and Dark), threaten the lives of Obiwan and Ahsoka. The two people most important to him (and another tick against the idea that Anakin & Padme had 100% genuine selfless love for each other).

The Father threatens Anakin with the death of either Ahsoka or Obiwan, and asks him to choose which Child's rage he will control- the Dark or Light.

Anakin, unwilling to choose between the two he loves most, LITERALLY moves the stars and heavens above him, shifting the sky from night to day and back again and pulls on his divine power to subdue both the Light and Dark, freeing both Obi and Ahsoka. It is my favorite scene in all of Star Wars.

After witnessing this, the Father is convinced of Anakin's birthright. He begs Anakin to take his place on Mortis... saying that he is growing too old and weary to watch over and control his children anymore, and that they will be thrown out of balance without his guidance.

It is much like the scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when Indiana is met by the ancient knight in the sacred temple who offers him his sword, utterly grateful to be relieved of duty... seeing this new Knight appear to take up his place as guard of all that is good and just.

That is what Anakin's job is.

To enact his balance of will on the Force-plane, not the mortal plane where mortals are unfit for it - where they can die and suffer the wrath of the gods in immediate and horrifying ways.

Anakin, who is adamant the Chosen One is a myth (out of self protection), tells The Father he cannot abandon his friends and must leave Mortis. This action is very much akin to Luke's when he leaves Dagobah to save Leia and Han and Yoda warns him not to go. Anakin is terrified to leave the mortal realm, unwilling to take on the responsibility, and deeply attached to humanity. He loves them.

The Father warns Anakin that should he leave Mortis he will forever regret it for the remainder of his days.

This can also be seen as a vague allusion to the chaos that turns out to be Luke and Leia, and the ultimate hardships of their lives. Perhaps had Anakin taken up The Father on his offer, and had been able to wrangle the The Daughter and Son into submission and balance, acting as a sentry who understood both the Forces of Dark & Light and the mortals of the Galaxy, then Anakin's own son and daughter (who share his blood and thus his immortal inheritence) would have happier, easier lives and even joined him on Mortis.

In truth, I think Anakin would be miserable and lonely on the plane of the Force Gods. Just as he is miserable and lonely on the mortal plane.

The Force did torture and torment him as a creation. He can be neither happy or totally content in either place. His human heart longs for his mortal friends, and his god soul longs for higher purpose.

His truly is a tragic existence until he dies - where he can be in the afterlife, the magical Force Netherworld, with Obiwan. And we find out in TRoS Luke and Leia also become Force ghosts- and I like to believe Ahsoka, too, so all his children can be with him.

Which is to Anakin, finally the best of his both worlds.

But fr I picture Obiwan and Anakin in the force going on epic supernatural Quests and mulling over the fate of mortals with Anakin trolling people with visions and horrors to "test" their resolve and their preparation for their dark sides - taking on the role of the Ghost of Christmas Future but with far more trolling and he's like laughing to Obi-wan when he materializes home, Obi you should've seen his face when I showed up as his dead girlfriend...! or causing visions which swallow rotten people into the ground like the pits of Sith hells, causing them to wake in abject terror with an unseeable Anakin grinning over their beds wearing Force Sunglasses 😎

Ultimately, I think Anakin, as the Chosen One & master of the Dark Side in life, would take on the afterlife role of caring after and protecting those who are very strong in the light - he'd have a genuine affection for them and consider it his celestial duty to prepare them to face their Dark Sides in order to confront their balance, inner selves, and their capacity for destructive power. He'd want to protect them. That would be his primary patronage although he'd go about it in amusing and sometimes rather grim ways. He'd be very compassionate but brutal about it - a reflection of the extremes of his life, which is the source of his great wisdom.

As for Obi-wan I picture him tending a very cosmic garden planting strife for some, watering some happiness to bloom for others, watching well-deserved wishes take fruition as beautiful blossoming berries after many years of waiting for other certain souls... I picture him keeping a very endless, very eternal library with boundless tomes. Sitting in the sunlight, making careful notes in the margins of people's lives... little reminders or helpful suggestions, that turn up on the mortal plane as nagging feelings or sudden inspiration.

But ultimately they are in the Force having fun together and taking on missions in the Netherworld as they discover, even further, the unknowable reaches of the incredible Force.

AT LAST! It is done.

After ten months, and 200 000+ words I have at last finished my Year on the Run fic chronicling Satine's rise to power, and her romance with Obi-Wan.

It's been a huge part of my life, and I will get to the comments that so many wonderful people have left for me (seriously, the love and depth of engagement people have expressed for this fic has BLOWN ME AWAY. I'm forever grateful for that incredible support!!!) but in the meantime, let me say THANK YOU to everyone who has read along, and encouraged me, and held my hand.

Special thanks especially, to @treescape who listened to EVERY SINGLE chapter breakdown, discussed character motivations and arcs, pointed out holes and found solutions, and was really a guiding light the whole way through.

Thanks also to @pomiar and @the-last-kenobi who listened to be kvetch for WEEKS. Pom, who helped and still helps me figure out how to make it function as a complete novel, who was never afraid to point out something that was out of character, or demand much needed explanations for things that weren't always clear. Her vision is just SO acute and insightful! And TLK whose undying enthusiasm pushed me to the finish line. She's always eager to hear more, full of encouragement, and her utter faith in me was exactly what I needed.

The biggest thanks of all to the Obitine discord, and the wonderful people there. I wrote this to convince @duchess-of-mandalore that we don't need canon, to try and give @the-obiwan-for-me something HALF as wonderful as her fic (SSTW) gave to us, to make @mg024 laugh, and cry, and astonish her as much as she manages to astonish me. And for everyone else there who has been with me. It's for you!!!

You can find the whole thing HERE

And now, because I love process, here are some behind the scenes tidbits...just in case you were curious.

There really is nothing known canonically about "The Year on the Run" except:

1. It was "an extended mission when I was younger. Master Qui-Gon and I spent a year on Mandalore, protecting the Duchess from insurgents who had threatened her world. They sent bounty hunters after us. We were always on the run, living hand to mouth, never sure what the next day would bring."

2. They were attacked by venomites on Draboon

3. Obi-Wan carried Satine when they first met, and he dropped her which resulted in her getting a scar.

That's literally the entirety of what we know.

So, I had to expand on it A LOT.

The whole fic is a re-imagining of The 12 Labours of Hercules. What I didn't know when I started is there is no modern consensus on the morals/meanings of each task, so I had to do a bunch of research to find the most consistent interpretations, and then fill in the rest myself.

The hydra is represented by the nine bounty hunters that chase them the whole way throughout.

By rank: Aden Kast (meaning: wrath) - died by own hand Pre Vizsla - defected Jaro Spar (meaning: death wish) - arrested Bann Dryden (meaning: refuse) - killed by Qui-Gon Prudi Saxon (meaning: shadow) - deserted Paak Saxon (meaning: salt) - killed by Aden Kast Mirala Chorn (meaning: thoughtful) - disappeared Kyric Eldar (meaning: kill/end/death) - banished by DW Trikan Kelborn (meaning: sorrow) - killed by Bralor

Extra bonus: Hercules is eventually killed by the poisonous blood of the hydra, and so, this task is one that kind of defeats him. Pre Vizsla is that poison in Only Hope. He sides with Satine here out of cunning, ambition, and self-preservation, but later is her ruin.

Satine's big thing is pacifism, and it was important to me in telling this story that pacifism not be confused with passivity. And so, I spent a lot of time researching how pacifism as an ideology can be made practical. Of course, I looked to Gandhi.

Using the three pillars of pacifism, I expanded on them within the text to demonstrate just *how* Satine makes this ideology work. Mandalorians are warriors, and she is no different. Only she battles hate, fear, and prejudice instead of people.

Beyond the political philosophies at play, I also spent a lot of time translating things into Mando'a. At the beginning of the story, Obi-Wan does not speak the language, so until he learns it, his POV chapters were FULL of fluent Mando'a.

This meant that I had to make up a ton of idioms, mottos, and myths to fill out the world of Mandalore. Things like these:

I also made up war songs, and beer hall anthems:

Of course, sung by Obi-Wan

And new gods for the old Mandalorian religion:

And about a MILLION Mandalorian names: Nur, Naani, Jori Ast'Atin, Haati be'Murtin, Bralor, Paak & Prudi, Iviinya, Kih'sol, Ta-Ciryc, Bu'ataaka, Rang, Kyric, Trikan, Gamnyn, Kut, Bora-Gaan, and on and on.

And a million cities: Dalabiik, Meshurok, Chorus, Amancitia, Pohja, Jiilma, Antioch the Needles, blah blah blah

And a million words: kalesera, etyc'baar, bo'aka, koryai, etc.

And of course, it wouldn't be a SW story without a ton of Obi-Wan whump.

(art by the incredible @kyber-erso)

Anyway. That's all for now. Thank you everyone for your interest, and love, and support!

Slice of life Jedi Order thoughts

anyway, take a bunch of thoughts about the Jedi Order’s day to day life

The temple is never silent. Either the diurnial or the nocturnal Jedi are up. A lot of activities are timed to include both, hence most events being hold at sunset / sunrise

The idea of cooking just for yourself is just weird. If you cook, it’s for at least one more person. Large communal kitchen where you can just pick anything up at all times

Some Jedi might live alone in their rooms, others share. Why wouldn’t you live together with your Padawan or best friends? And if your friend takes on a Padawan, guess you’re also feeling at least a little responsible for it

Large greenhouses where they plant their own vegetables and fruits and herbs. It’s a bit of a tradition to bring home new plants from different planets if they aren’t already in the temple so lots of botanical gardens as well

art and music rooms! they probably have long hallways where they just display art and you can probably always find a jedi somewhere in the gardens or halls, playing an instrument

mixed environment rooms! Masters with aquatic Padawans or the other way round. Constant (fond) bickering about room temperature and so on

mixed aged classes and everyone’s special interest gets suported. There are probably hundreds of classes/club.

The most experienced get to teach a class. If that means the 20-year-olds attend a seminar on Alderaani High Republic Romanticism Poetry being taught by a thirteen-year-old who took a deep dive into that topic last summer then that means that you get taught by that 13 y/o

They probably have an in-house network with a list of abilities/interests people have so they cna just search what person can teach them what

Age honestly is fairly irrelevant when it comes to teaching, as should be whether you pass or fail an exam/course. You can try again, asking for the support you need

You probbaly have to write something like a bachelors or masters thesis about a chosen subject when you become a Knight.

Hobbies are all over the palce. From ancient old fashioned ryloth weaving to modern Naboo waterpainting

A lot of celebrations and holidays about the Force or certain important battles being won from the Jedi, but also celebrating holidays of the cultures the members of the Order are from

show fights and competitions!

Canon, give me the forbidden fun Jedi anecdotes-

my ideal Star Wars TV show would just be a slice of life Jedi show. Plots include:

younglings losing frogs they were supposed to look after for a week and trying to hide their absence from their teacher.

(Yoda ate the frog)

The one time Mace gets talked into taking a break and walks past increasingly distressing situations and Jedi going “no, no, it’s fine, enjoy vacation”

A Padawan hiding a couple lothcat kittens they found in their room and getting their friends to help them

Tournaments!

One episode about a Master frantically searching for a book to return to archives fearing Master Nu’s wrath only for their Padawan to have already returned it

Philosophy discussions getting increasingly debated

Padawans babysitting Initiates

At least one forbidden trip to the lower levels

Feel free to add

5 Questions for Writers

Tagged by @kunstpause ! anyone wants to join in, they can!

1. Do you have a favorite character to write? Who and why?

2. Do you have a favorite trope to write? Or one you want to write?

3. Share your favorite description you’ve written?

4. Share your favorite dialogue you’ve written?

5. Scene you haven’t written, but want to?

1, my favourite character to write Hmmmmm, i don’t have many POVs, and all of them are relatively straightforward; no unexpected twists or hidden sides to most of them. That said, it’s probably Lana Beniko. Not only do I love her, but in the same universe Arro’s Story happens in? She was Cipher Nine (Wearing a different face and name) and Arro is the only one who knows. But she made a conscious decision to turn back into Lana Beniko (her birth name and face, before a bunch of twists got her enrolling into the Imp Academy with a false name and face). After she killed Hunter, she turned her back on the spy gig completely. She has even taken pains to hide her instincts and skills so that she can be “just Lana”. Some of these skills include Theron-level slicing, the best aim in the galaxy, exceptional awareness of her surroundings and a keen eye for bugs and tails. She revived Cipher Nine (Mercei Tanniels) just once; during the assault on Tython, she snuck onworld to kill ex-Matriarch Kolovish of the Kalikori, the last surviving member of the Star Cabal. She did, of course use her skills in the hunt for Arro, but it wasn’t the same as becoming the foxy-faced assassin again.

So my point: whenever I write her, I’m always trying to keep her skillset and history in the back of my mind when I write—that and her consciously subduing her thoughts so that she can be “just Lana”. Unfortunately, I’m not the best writer out there, not by a longshot, and so such allusions are very, very rare. More of my writing goes into her relationship (and psychic bond) with Arro, both of their feelings, and so i don’t get to highlight Lana the ex-Super Spy as much as I want to. But I am always thinking about it, and it’s fun for me!

2. Favourite trope to write, or one I want to? Crossovers; I badly want to move Lana and/or Arro to meet Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obiwan in the Clone Wars era, or Maul, Ezra, Kanan, and Ahsoka in the Rebels era. As to other common tropes I like Chosen Ones and Chekov’s guns... but with a difference. There can be several Chosen Ones; Satele’s prophecy in “Knight’s Song” says that he is one of several who can hold back the upcoming tides of darkness that she foresees, but there are others out there who can too, both individually or in concert with him; Lana, Akahte, and Kai’rene being the strongest contenders for that. I do have some Chekov’s guns waiting in cold storage for the Eternal War. Looking forward to those.

3. Favourite description I’ve written? Uh... There is this one Alternate Ending of ASOIAF that I wrote, inspired by Arthas’ ascension to the Frozen Throne. I mean, GOT copied blatantly from the Wrath of the Lich King trailer, so I thought “why not?” and parodied Arthas becoming the Lich King. Here is the opening:

All was quiet at Castle Northmost, as it had been for tens of thousands of years. Standing so far North that heading out in any direction would mean going South, anyone living in the Castle would feel like this place was completely cut off from the rest of the world. The howling winds drowned out all sounds for miles, and thick snowfall made visibility so poor that you couldn’t see three feet in front of you even if there was light. 

However, there was no one living in Castle Northmost, and no one ever had or would. It had not been built with the living in mind. It was built by an ancient people long forgotten, whom the world only knew as “The Others”, or “White Walkers”, although few of them walked these icy halls and tunnels.

For centuries, the largest number of them had slept, as only two stood vigil at the door. But in recent years, more and more of them had awoken and left the Castle, leaving fewer behind every day. Today, the only White Walkers dwelling in the castle were the two doorwardens.

The pair stood staring straight ahead, just as they had for countless years without rest. It was their duty to wait, always to wait, for the next one to approach these walls. 

Their wait was about to come to an end. Out of the snow a man in thick black woolen clothes appeared. His face was almost completely covered to protect him from the cold, but the wardens didn’t need to see his face. They knew exactly who he was.

“Greetings Jon Snow,” they said in unison. “Welcome to Northmost.”

4. Favourite Dialogue that I have written?

“You Braced my son’s body just before the impact, and probably saved his life. Do you think he will thank you for it? That he is more reasonable than I?” Arro didn’t answer, looking like he was readying himself. He Reached for one of the Lightsaber pikes fallen on the floor behind him and called it into his waiting palm. Activated its blade, a bar of blue energy springing up at its lip. “And you didn’t strike when my back was turned. How noble.” “Not nobility.” Arro responded. “Pride.” —Eternal War, Chapter 2

“No matter how hard I struggled, I was always under His thumb. His slave. Until you killed Him. I’m quite grateful for that, you know. That’s why you’re the first one to whom I have willingly shown all of my marks. I don’t strip for just anybody.Indeed, I am eternally grateful to you,” she continued. Then her eyes narrowed, and she stalked closer, a predator approaching for the kill. “However… I so vividly dreamed and dreamed of killing Him myself! It was my goal to break free of His chains, to show Him a fraction of the agony He had caused me. And to see Him suffer with my own eyes. And you…” She placed her fingers on his temple and fed blinding lightning directly into his nerves. “You took that from me,” she finished when he stopped screaming. “And that… that is an offense graver than you could imagine.”

—Eternal War Chapter III: Vaylin.

5: Scenes I haven’t written, but want to Valkorion’s end, from swtor. I desperately want to finish the climax of Eternal War, but at this rate I don’t know if I will :Cries hard.

There are also these stories from Path of the Sword Saint, set in Final Fantasy 14. The first is Ryosen, the main character, entering Ul’dah for the first time after his friends the Scions were accused of... well those events at the end of A Realm Reborn. The second is a secret *wink*. Third is of Ryosen facing off against Ran’jeet, a main boss from Shadowbringers expansion, and the final one is his death scene (sobs)

Finally, I want to write a bit more from Thedas: the marriage of Torren Cousland and Bethany Amell-Hawke, and their taking a secret lover (Leliana) in a mutually Consensual threesome. Torren isn’t the Warden of this universe, but he is a major character and ends up as the sole ruler of Ferelden.

for my girl

To my best friend,

Somebody hurt you today. A hateful, vitriolic person with an ugly soul and a black heart sent you an evil message that was filled with malice, and I’m so angry, lovely girl. I’ve spent the past hour shaking with tears and barely-containable fury. I wanted to find this person – if they are indeed a person, which beggars belief – and annihilate them. I wanted to rage-message them with as much spite and cruelty as it took to make them feel as bad as they made you feel. The impotence I felt because this person upset you and I couldn’t immediately do anything to avenge you overwhelmed me.

It’s very Arya Stark of me, right? Well, quite fittingly so, because you’re my family. My Sansa. My sister under the skin. My soulmate.

Beautiful girl, I don’t have a sword, or a monstrous direwolf, or a means to find this person and hurt them for their transgressions, and what good would it do if I did? In my anger, I forgot that there was another route I could take to help you - this route - the route that abandons anger in favour of better feelings, lighter and weightier all at once. Feelings of love and positivity.

You’re a romantic, right? So many of the cheesiest-yet-greatest romance movies involve a public declaration of love, so this is mine to you.

See, that person - that festering pustule of humanity who knows nothing but ugliness and hatred in their gruesome, brittle bones, who sent you something ugly because you dared to have an opinion, on a fictional character, of all things – doesn’t know you, but I do. I know your mind and I know your heart, because in becoming my best friend you opened the gates to a beautiful vista, a trove of wit and intelligence and affection, and let me in. You granted me the privilege of knowing you, of knowing that everything you say and do is good and truthful and worthy of admiration. Whatever pains you’ve suffered – and I know you’ve suffered, and I hate it, and I wish with all my heart that I could do something tangible to change your life – please know that you didn’t deserve them. Please know that what you’ve done to incur the wrath of these cruel, lesser beings is be fearlessly and undeniably yourself. You say that you’re soft, but you’re far stronger than you know – a person less strong than you would censor themselves, conceal their truth or give in to the pressure to think differently. You carry on. You’ve been through incredible pain, my love, and you survive. You will survive. You’re crawling through a river of mud and grime, but you’re going to come out clean.

Talented, clever, wicked-sharp girl, I like you. I love you. I admire you. I respect you. To me, your thoughts will always have value. Your opinions will always be based on sound reason and careful study, and never on the uglier things – ignorance, hatred, prejudice - that inform the opinions of so many. They will always carry weight and worth. To me, you are beautiful, inside and out. To me, you are brave. You’ve spoken out about the ordeals you’ve suffered to lighten the load for others who suffer too. You care about people, about injustice and about building a brighter and better world for those who are marginalised and abused. Your writing is a joy – rich and vibrant, words that plunge you into the heart of a character and makes it so easy to believe what moves them, emotions that are real and resonant, wit that cuts like a blade and seems as nonchalant as if your work is effortless, though I know that you’re a perfectionist, and that you try so incredibly hard. If you ever struggle – if you ever feel the scourge of writer’s block or the pulsing frustration of not knowing where to begin, it never shows in your finished work. It never seems forced. You’re a real writer, girl, and clever – you’re always so clever.  

Take all of this to your heart, my love, and trust me when I say that I’ll never allow you to forget it. If anyone dares think otherwise, if anyone is fool enough to suggest that you are anything less than perfect, remember that I know you better, and that my opinion is the one most informed. Remember that my love paints the truest picture of you. Remember that our friendship wasn’t a result of obligation or circumstance. Remember that we found each other from across an ocean. Remember that I choose you, my love, my sister, my greatest friend, and that I’ll choose you every day.

Remember that I’m always right – not about everything, maybe not even about most things, but always about you.

Dearest darling, you think you haven’t been seen, but that simply isn’t true.

So Suited for TPM Ian Doescher does his research. This is not only reflected in the different way each character speaks (as noted in the final note of this book as well as in interviews), but also in how he PORTRAYS each character. Notably, in this installment, are Jar Jar and Qui-Gon. Go to Amazon

I loved this book I loved this book! Go to Amazon

For yea verily and forsooth there cometh this book from ... For yea verily and forsooth there cometh this book from the original texts of Master Shakespeare. Little doth those of fandom knoweth that the Lucas of George had, in a moment of envious wrath 'gainst the Bard, did copy wordeth for wordeth the working scripts used to perform this tale of responsibility and spirits within the genes of men for her royal majesty Queen Elizabeth herself. Lo, readeth thee about yon exploits of young Anakin, Walker of the Skye as he prevails in the races of sloops, fights 'gainst the Federation of Trade, and learneth of the ways of the Knights of Jedi. Marvel thee at the melee duel 'tween the Jon of Qui-gon, the Kenobi of Obiwan and the most vile rapscallion the lord Malice of Darth. This is well worth your seven pence and you should purchase it forthwith. Go to Amazon

An interesting approach to telling the Star Wars space tale. I am both a fan of the great bard William Shakespeare and Star Wars and I was attracted to the title of this book which (William Shakespeare’s Star Wars by Ian Doescher, Verily, A New Hope) I purchased on Amazon for a bargain price. I have read most of the works of William Shakespeare and what the author of this book has done is to put the Star Wars first movie (Star Wars: A new Hope) into the Shakespearean language and times. Go to Amazon

Shakespeare Made Palatable I saw this book as a Book Bub sale item and I was immediately intrigued. As an English teacher, I taught Shakespeare's plays and as a college student, I saw "Star Wars" in theaters, so I was excited to see the two meet. Ian Doescher makes the story of Luke, Leia, Han Solo, and the rebellion against the Empire fit for the stage. It could easily be one of the Bard's plays. Sometimes Doescher uses Shakespeare's exact words and phrases, which clearly describes the actions and emotions of the characters in Star Wars. Another reviewer mentioned that this was given to a teenager to help him understand Shakespeare for school. What a great idea! This was a fun read for me. I recommend it if you are looking for something different, and if you enjoy Shakespeare and/or Star Wars.. Go to Amazon

Loved it Fun twist on two classics. Great value for a fantastic product Five Stars Worth it LOVE every word Ian Doescher writes Fun and light Humanity cannot go further I would highly recommend for readers and fans of the movies to get ... Loved it!

Just Buy It! Combine my favorite writer with just about anything and the results will generally be favorable. Combine my favorite writer with Ian Doescher and the results will be amazing! I picked up "William Shakespeare's Star Wars" on a whim. I now own all four books, have one on the "I want a copy as soon as it's ready" list and will keep an eye out for the sixth. A close friend of mine, who doesn't read hard-copy much due to vision issues also has all four books - because of the style of the paper cover, the "old look" of the hard cover and the layout which is very easy on even the tiredest eyes. The text is amazing. Ian does an exceptional job with the process. It is even possible to see more deeply into both Shakespeare's style and the Star Wars story line - as with Weird Al Yankovic's using "American Pie" to lay out the story of "The Phantom Menace". One reviewer called the first book a wonderful Shakespeare parody. It isn't a parody, in my humble opinion, but an imagining of how the folio for Star Wars would read, had The Bard written it.
