#Quinlan vos

[twinterrors29]

when Qui-Gon publicly dropped Obi-Wan like a hot potato in favor of throwing his full weight into his bid to train Anakin, recently-Knighted Quinlan Vos decided that he had the opportunity to be the funniest motherfucker imaginable (and earn both his friend's eternal debt and ire in one move):

he claimed Obi-Wan Kenobi as his first Padawan

Obi-Wan, while definitely pissed with his friend's 'parenting,' quickly gets behind the idea of using this to spite Qui-Gon as much as possible

the Vos-Kenobi pair immediately set out to break every single one of Jinn's records as pettily as possible, and even managed to earn Quinlan the title of 'youngest Master' when Obi-Wan was Knighted only a few months later when the Council realized what was going on and tried to cut them off by just Knighting Kenobi already

i feel like in the post republic era force precognition/visions/etc seem to fall into a fairly common structure where it's a bit sudden and jarring but its consistently a little shuffle of vision, vision, other vision all connected by a theme or an idea the force is trying to present you with whereas for characters who grew up in the prequel era it's more like

Mace Windu's force visions: hey HEY dumbass OVER HERE this is IMPORTANT

Anakin Skywalker's force visions: this specific awful thing will happen at this exact point in time good luck with that lol

Quinlan Vos's force visions: ok kid this is gonna suck but here's everything you need you got this

Obi Wan Kenobi's force visions: wow your life sucks thoughts and prayers sweetie

Okay so we have like. An unusually high ratio of royalty/nobility among the Jedi. Dooku, Quinlan, Oppo, you can sort of count Adi or Xanatos or Bruck, etc. Lots of Jedi 'just happen' to come from royal, noble, or incredibly wealthy/powerful families.

So from this I want to posit four things:

If a royal family has a Force-Sensitive child, and hasn't had one in generations, they may think that sending that child to the Jedi would be a little like sending a child to join the Catholic Church in the middle ages: you get to influence the political choices of the highest religious power in Europe the Galactic Republic Government. (That said, Dooku was sent to the Jedi because his parents didn't want him and ||left him to die of exposure, basically, so that if the Jedi arrived too late they'd be picking up a baby corpse|| because they were so disdainful of Force-Sensitive individuals, and Quinlan wasn't sent to the Jedi so much as he escaped to them.)

They are all incredibly wrong about this, and royals raised as Jedi generally do not give any more of a shit about their home planets than any other planet. They care, of course, but they are not attached, because they are Jedi. Xanatos was an exception (afaik his dad sent him to the Jedi because he wanted to do the Catholic thing? and then Xanatos lost his mind). (Don't correct me on this, it's not really important if it was actually intended or not.)

This is achieved by way of Jedi from royal backgrounds having a mandatory high-level political class on how to handle royal court politics and general intrigue. It's not exclusive to the royal kids, but it is a prerequisite for them. They usually end up doing their home planets as case studies for capstone projects, in part because

Sometimes the planets try to call their errant royals back. It might be because the planet is struggling and genuinely running out of heirs/needs a change in leadership (Serreno) and it might be because it was the plan all along, but on the off chance that the Jedi decides they HAVE to leave the Order and take up a throne to keep an entire planet from kind of imploding on itself... that royal Jedi has to be ready to play the game. OR if they don't actually think they're REALLY needed there, they have to be trained on how to go, and be polite/avoid getting trapped/play the game until they can get the hell out of there, while also installing that cousin that nobody thought was strong enough but DOES understand how to run the treasury as the new king.

I'm just imagining this like. Very specific set of classes that are open to any Jedi that's taken the necessary prereqs, but is mandatory for people like Quinlan and Dooku and Oppo.

This was inspired by a post of mine that's getting circulated regarding QuinObi stuff and my thoughts about how Quinlan might have needed preventative training in case of political upheavals trying to pull him back to his home planet. I want to mess with the Politics Classes that Quinlan is taking because he has to and Obi-Wan is taking because Qui-Gon said he should.

Qui-Gon: You should take this class because I'm training you up as a negotiator and diplomat, and you will need it to interact with people when brokering trade deals or peace treaties. Tholme: You are taking this class because your aunt is insane and you have to be ready in case she tries to pull you back into the bullshit.

And as @firebirdeternal offered:

Quinlan: God this is the worst. So boring. At least Obi-Wan is stuck here too. Obi-wan: This is fascinating wow, I can't believe I almost didn't get to attend, Quinlan is so lucky he's automatically in these classes.

Anakin: *slips on the floor*

Padme: Ani, are okay?

Obiwan: Oh on, not again 😩

Ahsoka: What does the floor taste, Skyguy?

At the end of the book Dark Disciple, Ventress (spoiler alert) dies. Of course, she comes back in season 3 of the Bad Batch and now she will also return in Tales of the Underword, but the big question is how exactly she’s alive. Let’s take a closer look at her funeral scene in Dark Diciple (again, spoiler alert).

Quinlan Vos takes Ventress to be buried on Dathomir, and he decides to lower her body into the same pool where she was ”baptised” in the Clone Wars series.

He says:

”Rest, now, my love. I brought you to Dathomir. Your sisters don’t have to wait any longer. You told me you were reborn, here, in this pool. I hope it’s all right for me to return you to its waters.”

Interesting choice of words there. After he submerges her in the pool, tendrils of magic start to appear. Quinlan describes them as ”green, like the Water of Life”. The closing paragraph of the book reads:

”Kenobi’s eyes widened. He heard it too, now, the whispers of women’s voices. The force had reclaimed Dathomir’s wayward child, and as Vos reached out in it to send the woman he loved a final farewell, he thought he could make out a single word: sister.

Asajj Ventress, at last, had come home.”

First of all, ouch. Second of all, I think it’s safe to say that Ventress was 100% resurrected by nightsister magic. The question I have now is why?

Did the nightsisters (from beyond the veil??) bring Ventress back just because they could, perhaps because of the way she was buried, or did they bring her back for a purpose? Perhaps her story will connect with whatever is going on with the nightsisters and Dathomir in the Ahsoka series, with her task being to bring her people together once more.

Another question is if Ventress is aware of a possible purpose for her resurrection, or did she just wake up one day in a very different galaxy from the one she died in. The war is over but the Jedi order who pardoned her crimes is completely destroyed, and I don’t think the empire appreciates having Dooku’s former apprentice on the lose. Quinlan Vos obviously thinks Ventress is dead, and with the Jedi destroyed Ventress probably thinks that Quinlan is dead as well. She is, once again, alone and on the run.

some of my fav space wizards 💗💗💗

Every Sith Lord, bounty hunter, and just general villain: I was hoping for Kenobi. Every Jedi Who Has To Deal With This Shit: [deep sigh] Yeah we know. I need you to know I hyena laughed about this for FIVE STRAIGHT MINUTES, Quinlan's life is so hard, he's so much cooler and more exciting than Obi-Wan and this is still the response he gets?? HE WAS IN THAT FIGHT, TOO, YOU KNOW.

Image description: It's a drawing of Aayla Secura and Quinlan Vos from Star Wars. They're both very young, with Aayla being a toddler. Quinlan is lifting the long sleeve of his robe to show Aayla hiding inside it. Quinlan is grinning affectionately while Aayla seems to be laughing nervously. The prompt of this drawing was to draw Aayla trying to convince her future teacher to take her with him on a mission. End of description.

[maran-foxes]

yknow how Obi-wan and Quinlan are really close friends and that probably means Aayla and Anakin have a weird sibling/cousin relationship. and that make way for some really funny stuff.

for example, the jedi got to pick battalion colors at the beginning of the war, and Aayla's blue right? so she's like, "hm, it'd be fun if i matched with my men right?", and she goes the next morning and find out that Anakin, the little shit, has already taken blue. He doesn't even like blue.

and thats my little headcanon about how the 501st ended up being painted blue.

I love the idea of jedi babies with psychometry just.... latching onto random things that have good memories attached and carrying it around like a teddy bear. Like baby Quin found a spatula with a memory of a kid and their parent lovingly making cookies in it and he slept with a dollar store spatula for the next 3 years. Cal found some silverware that a happy group of friends used for all of their special occasions, so his pockets end up full of comfort spoons. and forks. and butter knives.

My underestimated trio✊

[padawansuggest]

Quinlan: Fox blocked me on /everything/ so I applied to help out at the rotunda for a while. See you Taungsday, pookie <3

Obi-Wan: …this is why you and me didn’t work out as a couple. I’m passive aggressive and you’re just straight up /messy/.

Quinlan: Thanks. It’s fun to cause chaos on purpose.

Obi-Wan: I can’t disagree with that :/ I told Cody last week if he didn’t hold my hand I was gonna start a fight. I’ve never seen him panic before then.

Anakin: You two are both sooo toxic.

Ahsoka: I’m taking notes.
