i know u n ur thing w roleswaps, but have u ever done something like role rotations? i did it to my trio ocs n its been rlly fun haha, n i got 2 thank u for the rabbit hole ive gone that is swapping changing n or flipping about roles

Always happy to spread the roleswap gospel. I think I always enjoy it because it lets me separate who a character truly is from their place in the story, and it gives you a lot of flexibility in creating a new character who is still grounded in their setting. A lot of AUs change the setting without actually changing the character - and oftentimes it's honestly just taking a character and chopping off parts of them until they fit in a specific handful of roles - but a roleswap demands that you look at how different circumstances change a character. I find that when I'm not doing AUs like that, I'm doing AUs where I'm basically doing that and offering no justification or explanation for it. Which confuses people. Look, guys, you welcomed yourself to my twisted mind when you clicked on the link, just go along with the ride.

I think also The Magnus Archives was uniquely suited for really good roleswaps, because that mostly entails changing which Entity a character is affiliated with. And that's just taking the same character and magnifying a specific aspect of who they are, looking at them from a different perspective. I'm glad you're giving it a shot, 'cause it is also just a good writing exercise in general for figuring out the innate vs situational characteristics of a character.

Re: role rotations - yes, that's definitely what I'm doing with the Naruto roleswap thing! Naruto works in groups of 3, so by nature you're shuffling character traits to the left. This actually becomes difficult when one of these characters has nothing going on, so it's actually difficult as fuck to figure out, but it lets me get pretty creative.

I'm a bit baffled at the fact that there's only 4 works on AO3 for the tag Obi-Wan/Satine/Anakin (and only 14 for Obi-Wan/Satine/Anakin/Padmé)

[chaos-is-my-lifeblood]

The next time somebody claims the Jedi were emotionless monsters, I'm considering just. Asking where the hell they got that idea. Did we watch the same movies??

[hannibalzero]

It when comes to speeders or flying? Obi-wan hates it. He never feels in control or comfortable when driving. But he is the first to ride an animal, a more elegant and intelligent choice

Obiwan x female reader

Happiness

He was magnificent, his long limbs stretched out next to you. Half his body exposed to the sun that it illuminated the scruffy hair on his chest. He had his nose stuck in a book but his hand resting on your exposed thigh conveyed everything anyone needed to know.

That you were his and with you sprawled over his lap, you too sent out a message to the world, that he was yours. Beneath the umbrella’s shadow in this little cocoon of a world you both existed in, it was serene, like the waters that glistened calmly.

You reached up to run your hand up his chest having gotten bored just laying by the shore, you wanted to go out for a swim. You peeled the book from his fingers as you turned to straddle his hips. You took a hold of his hands, placed one on your waist while you let the other cup your cheek.

“We’re at the beach, not the library.”, you pouted at Obiwan as he smiled endearingly, his blonde hair in a mullet that he tucked the longer strands behind his ear.

“I don’t see a difference.”, he leaned towards you, his eyes darkening with desire as his lips placed kisses along your jaw as he edged closer to your ear.

“We get up to the same mischief hidden in the aisles, my love.”, he whispered, a secret between the two of you of how you met each other during the weekdays.

Your skin prickled as the cool breeze slid over you, but it was the heat of his words and the static sensation of his palm running down your body over your swimsuit that you craved the ocean water even more.

You gasped and pulled away from him but he didn’t let you go, instead his hand caught your throat as his lips captured yours. All your breath knocked out of your chest as he kissed you passionately, your fingers digging into his beard as you ran your hands lower down his neck.

He pulled away and you knew your cheeks would be cherry red. He looked like a teenage boy in love and it was all the more intoxicating. You got off him as you stood up, as did he.

“That was risky.”, you walked up to him, your fingers wiping away your lipgloss smeared on his lips while you were aware of his intense blue gaze on you.

“Why?”, he asked.

You didn’t meet his eyes, “Anakin could have seen us or someone from your council could have.”, you explained when he hooked his finger under your chin to lift it up so you would look at him.

“You know what they said about me, that I’m a distraction.”, you frowned and it disturbed him, that seeing you feel sad tortured his soul.

“They are wrong.”, he furrowed his brows as he held your attention.

“You are my happiness.”, he said with resolve and it only made your cheeks burn deeper. His hands settled on your waist as he held you close, his windswept hair making him look like a romantic hero straight out of the pages of a book.

“I cannot deny it anymore, I am in love with you.”, his blue eyes shined like the sea and you could only stand to watch him in awe.

You leaned towards him like a magnet and kissed him softly, his body relaxing under your touch.

“Now how about … we go back to … enjoying our weekend?”, he asked in between kisses as though he did not want to be doing anything else. To have his hands tangled in your hair and his lips eternally on yours.

“I don’t mind.”, you smiled to see he returned it with a wicked gleam.

“Perfect.”, he said but didn’t give you a second to react as he picked you up and threw you over his shoulder to then march down towards the water. Your laughter making him join along as you felt the cold splash of the sea and the endless warmth of his heart that blazed brighter than the sun.

Firstly, I need you to you know that don’t let me lose you to the rising tide has me weeping over the concept of unconditional love. Like it’s so interesting to me because I was rereading weeding out wildfires, and you really tease at this idea of “obiwan would forgive anakin anything” and in the context of that fic that felt so dark…like Anakin would murder his lover and he’d still forgive him, Obiwan has a massive blind spot, etc.

But the tone in this…idk, it’s just immaculate. Because I don’t know if I would say that Obiwan has forgiven him necessarily, but he still loves him. I went to catholic school for years, was raised Christian, and it’s always this concept that God loves unconditionally. (And then it get complicated in Catholicism because of moral sins and hell and purgatory existing etc etc) but you’ve just— you single handedly, in the space of that last chapter, brought me back to being 5 years old and believing in unconditional love and it’s just beautiful. (Complicated bc Vader, but beautiful.) reading this fic was truly a religious experience

Aw this is great because it is also one of my favorite flavors of Obikin at the moment: where obi-wan would forgive anakin for anything that he could do, wrong or right, on purpose or accidental, and anakin Has Feelings About That (Mostly Love In Return)

by the end of rising tide, obi-wan hasn’t really gotten around to addressing or coming to terms with any of the stuff that has happened in the fic, post-waking up. all he is sure of is that anakin is Vader and Vader is anakin which means that he is already forgiven—or if not forgiven, then not abandoned. still loved, still treasured, still missed.

Obi-Wan is going to bend his moral code for that boy and feel guilt and feel anger when he has the time to really process everything (and importantly, process it with anakin next to him) like everything anakin did as Vader, what happened on meyset, the war, what Obi-wan did by killing that soldier, etc etc

so I agree the forgiveness bit is a bit more complicated because these are very real crimes and choices anakin made and committed and that would need reckoning. But I think this Obi-wan would look at that as a side quest to the main undertaking which is Take Care of Him, and for the both of them their loneliest nights are behind them now

[epicmusic42]

Obi-wan had ...some awareness of what happened around him while he was the darksaber. It wasn't much, and Tarre's death decreased it more.

But it is enough that he knows Tarre didn't entirely have a choice in becoming Mand'alor. The memories are faint and blurred and distant. But he remembers how Tarre fought it, remembers that it was the Manda crying out for relief that demanded he become alor.

It is enough, that the moment his body reforms, Humanoid for the first time in millennia, he knows that Tor is a *threat*. That Tor is *dar'manda* for all that Obi-wan does not call himself, does not *want* to be mandalorian.

He is still tied more tightly to the Force than he should be, than it is *safe* for someone of his training to be. He is still a part of the Manda for all that he has no love for those who drove his parents to send him away in desperation.

(The Manda is the collective soul of all Mandalorians. There are more than enough mandalorians who long for, who believe in peace, that the Manda will cling tightly to those few who can serve as its voice. It would take far worse actions than Obi-wan Kenobi would ever consider for it to release him now that it has him).

It is a thought. Not one with intent behind it. Not yet.

The mandalorians, the ones who feel so like the Dark figures of his childhood, like those who grew his parents' fear until they resorted to sending him away, go flying.

Obi-wan runs.

-----

It is several long hours before he can separate his mind from the whirling chaos that is the Force, that is the Manda.

By then, he is exhausted. It is the work of desperation that sees him safely to a cave hollow which he can only pray holds no danger.

----

He wakes to the chaos still hovering on the edges of his mind.

It takes time. He has to remind himself to meditate first—and then has to do so despite the hunger gnawing at his belly.

But eventually he realises it is the Manda. Eventually he recognises it as the Manda.

A part of him wants to hate it. He can remember it. Faintly. From his childhood.

Remembers when it was a source of comfort that Grandmother encouraged every child in the village who was more Stewjon than Tuang to lean on.

He remembers too, when the mandalorians came and brought *their* Manda with them. The ice and cold that seeped into everything even in the dead of summer.

It is a relief to feel the light of a Jaieh, of a jedi master, on whatever planet he has been brought to. Even if they are like Tarre, he thinks, they will be able to help.

So I saw this post and brain started to brain:

I have seen multiple jangobi fics where Obi-wan is a personification of the darksaber. And it's a fun concept. So let's go with that.

Tor isn't dead at the start of the Year on the Run. But he hears that A'thonha Krys'e got a jedi protector for his daughters before Tor managed to kill him. And there's a very real chance that he'll end up having to fight the jedi.

And Tor is a coward.

The darksaber does *not* cooperate with him. If anything, it actively fights him. But he does have access to some ...interesting records.

There's a ritual, which doesn't actually require a Force user. The records say that it will make it easier to communicate with the dark saber. Tor, like most modern mandos, assumes it's metaphorical.

When the ritual is done, the darksaber is gone.

Instead, Tor's left with a jedi padawan that bolts the second they have the chance. More than one member of Death Watch thinks he's managed to curse them somehow.

------

The last time Obi-wan Kenobi was awake, both his master and Tarre's were dead. They'd managed to escape the sith temple, but not without costs. Tarre had been injured, practically blinded between the severed tresses and burns, and Obi-wan had been bleeding out. Neither of them had had their lightsabers.

It had been a *stupid* idea, but it had been the only one they had. Tuang blood or not, Obi-wan was still stewjoni and Force-sensitive. The stories Grandmother had told them said that before the tuange had come, Stewjoni could *become* kyber.

But Obi-wan had not been trained as a Stewjoni. His parents had sent him to the Jedi in a fit of desperation when they realised there was no hiding his Force-sensitivity from the mandos. He didn't know *how* to become kyber.

Somehow, he managed it.

-----

Qui-Gon Jinn is exasperated with the Krys'e heirs. Satine, made Dutchess far too young, wants peace even as she rages with an anger that reminds him all too much of Xanatos. Bo-katan is a traumatised child, and it is ...easier, in ways. He has taken classes before on helping traumatised children for all that it has been too long and he's never spent exte.ded time with a child who wasn't... wasn't his.

It is a very good thing that he is a jedi master. If he were not, then when he comes across a padawan, alone, in mandalorian space, without a lightsaber, and all too willing to kill—

Well. As it is, he still takes the first opportunity to trust the now three teenagers to someone else and go have a meltdown. (First *safe* opportunity, that is).

Force ghost but it’s coco: every Jedi become force ghost after their death, disappear when ppl forget to believe in them

Some time into the great purge, almost every one of the ghosts died, as nobody dared to believe in even the very existence of the force. Jedi who were slaughtered in the purge never became force ghosts.

Obiwan existed for a long time because there’re Luke and Leia, but Quigon disappeared the moment he died on the death star—because vader, even though still remembered him, no longer had faith in him like he used to do.

Anakin, fuelled by the undying hatred of his victims, became something unnamable and ever-existing.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL ABOUT CODY IN S2 OF TBB

THEY EXPECT ME TO JUST EXIST WHEN HE WAS WORKING FOR THE EMPIRE WITH HIS ARMOUR MARKINGS GREY??????

how can i shut up about how they sent cody, OBIWANS COMMANDER whose ship was literally named the Negotiatior because of his abilities in resolving conflict on a fake negotiations mission

[obikinwhore]

The force making Anakin an alpha but alphas don’t exist in the GFFA… or at least not until Anakin is born.

Anakin going through a rut and no one knows what it is and Obiwan has to deal with what he thinks is just a sickness until he’s on he ground, trousers ripped, Anakin feral and fucking into his ass where he feels a bulb forming. Too big to even take and the pain pales in comparison to when Anakin bites through the flesh of the back of his neck and growls out mine. It’s so good if no one knows what to do at all and Obiwan sort of embarrassed over it. Not saying the full truth about how his padawan fucked him so many times and so hard that he passed out and when he woke up Anakin was still fucking him.

No one recognizing these signs Anakin has while growing up. How Anakin crawls in his bed to rubs his pheromones on Obiwan. Anakin’s sense of smell being much sharper. Being able to smell when Obiwan is turned on. Anakin’s fangs aching as a teen cause all he wants to do is bite his master. The knot forming in his first rut where Obiwan barely makes it out alive. Needs sooooo much bacta for his poor ass. A human, even of Stewjoni make, cannot handle so much fucking in a short period of time.

There’s nothing anyone could do or even knows how to do. The temple's databases don't show any knowledge of intelligent species with this kind of behavior. Anakin's possessive and sniffing along Obiwan’s things. Rubbing his pheromones on Obiwan but Obiwan doesn’t get it. Doesn’t have the olfactory senses to even distinguish it. When Obiwan’s knotted it’s like he’s getting ripped in two. Anakin doesn’t stop. Still shunting his hips in like he could fuck deeper and Obiwan can’t squirm away. He’s stuck but the pressure on his prostate is insane 😵‍💫 pain turning to pleasure despite it all. When he even tries to squirm away or suggest a shower in one of the few moments where Anakin gives him a break, Anakin goes wild. Bites into Obiwan’s barely healing mating mark and almost shakes Obiwan like a dog.

Probably was about to assassinate someone :) For whatever reason, he was sneaking around in the dark and the viewer found him

Oh, looks like you've found Darth Vain at an inconvenient time.

In other news, I wanted to keep drawing my Sith!Obiwan because they live in my brain rent-free

[spaceymaseyy]

probably a controversial take but i don’t agree when people ship anakin and padme with other people.

like whenever i see people shipping r*xwalker, s*bedala (or god forbid: ob*kin, an*soka, ob*dala or ob*anidala), it always seems to downplay the love anidala canonically has for each other. they only have eyes for each other and no one else. for anakin it seems ooc asf that he would even look at someone else romantically other than padme. sabe probably does have a crush on padme, but even while reading the whole padme trilogy, it never felt like those feelings were ever reciprocated. while obiwan is literally like a dad/older brother to anidala and ahsoka is literally like their daughter/younger sister.

the “proof” the shippers for those other ships present are literally just examples of two people being really good friends and deeply caring for each other. platonic love exists. just because i would die for my family and close friends doesn’t mean that i want to fuck them yk.

Codywan week - day 6

I'm posting this late but I hope y'all can still enjoy reading! It's my fill for day 6 of the @codywanweek. You can read the story here, on Wattpad or Ao3. Thanks to the all of you who give it a try!

  Prompt: créchemaster Obi-Wan, quiet love, touch starved

Cody never dared to plan what he was going to do after the war. He never dared to hope that he will survive until the very end. So, when the war ended abruptly and he actually had a choice, he had no idea what he wanted to do.

  He ended up working as a security guard in some gallery. He didn't like it there all that much, it was boring, but it was the best he could find. He didn't have any education besides military training. And he needed money.

  Sometimes, Cody wished he stayed in the army. Rex had and he got to guard the Jedi temple sometimes. Maybe if Cody chose the same path, he could still see his general sometimes. Just a glimpse of the man would be enough. Or maybe it wouldn't.

  Obi-Wan was still a topic that Cody wasn't able to figure out. He wanted. He wanted to see his former general, wanted to touch him, to kiss him, to undress him and so on. Just like he did during their shore leave. Only it wasn't real. It was just a way to distract themselves, just a way to keep their minds busy when not on the front lines. Because forgetting about the casualties of the last battle was so much easier with his general on top of him. That's how it started.

  Now, months later, Cody was still in love with his general. Obi-Wan probably already forgot Cody still existed. He made it pretty clear that there was nothing between them, no attachment. That all their relationship was about was some entertainment. And Cody, in his foolish, so, so, foolish mind, made it something more. Even if he had the guts to go visit his general, he was too afraid that the Jedi would pick up on his emotions.

  So he didn't. He built himself a routine, he couldn't live any other way. Wake up from his dreams about Obi-Wan. Workout, while imagining his general being next to him, doing the same. Think about Obi-Wan while eating breakfast. Go to work. Still think about Obi-Wan. Wander the halls of the building, keeping his eyes open. Still with clear pictures of his very naked general in his mind. Going back from work. Still dreaming about coppery hair and pale skin. Going out with brothers. Finally forgetting the damned Jedi after his eleventh drink.

  This day was no different. Until it was. Because hey, his daydreams were never this real. There was no way his imagination was so good. Because the Obi-Wan he was looking at right now was perfect, more perfect than any of his imaginations. 

  This Obi-Wan was real, showing something on an abstract painting of an ocean to a bunch of tubies - no, not tubies, children. Why the actual kriff was Cody's former Jedi general in a gallery with a bunch of children? And why was Boil there too, catching a Pantoran boy before he could get lost among the crowds of people?

  Cody's time to think about it and order his thoughts was cut short. Boil noticed him, of course he did. He waved at Cody. It would be far too awkward if Cody ignored him. This left Cody with no choice but to join the group.

  "Uh... hello?"

  "Hey, Codes, it's been a while." Boil greeted Cody with a half hug. It's been exactly eight days since they saw each other the last time. Cody wouldn't exactly call it long but whatever. "Ad'ike, this is Cody, my annoying big brother."

  "Cody? Like commander Cody?" a Mikkian girl asked. How would she even know that? She looked to be five standard years old at most, there was no way the Jedi taught her about the war and much less the clones.

  "I used to be a commander, yes." Cody nodded, because there wasn't much else he could do.

  "Master Obi told us a lot about you," a Rhodian boy told him. Now that was interesting. Obi-Wan told a bunch of random Jedi - at least Cody assumed they were Jedi - tubies about him. Why?

  Boil gave Cody a look. Cody didn't like it all that much but before he could really think about what that particular look meant, Boil was already talking to the tubies. "I know Cody is fun and all, but did you know there is a play area for children somewhere? Do you want me to take you there? Cody can wait."

  Apparently, Boil was good with children now. He left with all of the tubies. And that meant... Cody was alone with Obi-Wan. So that was what Boil's look meant.

  "Hello, Cody."

  "General." Cody nodded to Obi-Wan who rolled his eyes.

  "Drop that. I'm not even a general anymore."

  "So you take Jedi tubies to galleries now?"

  "Sometimes." Obi-Wan shrugged. "The council was looking for a créchemaster and I took the job. They are sweet."

  "And you told them about me?" That probably wasn't the right thing to say.

  Cody's question made Obi-Wan blush. It was adorable. Cody wanted to kiss him. It was like one of the fake scenarios he imagined before falling asleep, the one where he bumped into Obi-Wan while walking the halls of the gallery, like in some sappy novel, and Obi-Wan blushed and then they kissed and then they magically teleported to Cody's bedroom. It could still happen, if Cody took a step forward, leaned closer-

  "Well, of course I told them about you." Obi-Wan's words cut through Cody's so very professional day dreams. "They like to hear stories about heroes. Besides... I missed you."

  To say Cody missed Obi-Wan would be an understatement. Cody said it anyway.

  Obi-Wan blushed even more at that and his pale skin did exactly nothing to hide it. Cody loved it. "Is that so?" Obi-Wan looked like he wanted to touch Cody for a moment but then he pulled his hand back and firmly clasped his hands in front of him.

  Cody just wished Obi-Wan touched him.

Lord Vader´s motives

I believe given the lack of information about Vader´s motives after the foundation of the Empire, it gets lost in translation what were his motives while he was the Empire´s enforecer given this happened right after he realized Palpatine lied to him, groomed him for years but also keep him alive after Mustafar using his own life force and he lost everybody he loved but there are some novels like Revenge and Lords of the Sith that tackle Vader´s perspective and how it differs from Anakin´s.

In "Lords of the Sith" novel in which Palpatine officially starts training Vader in the darkside, he asks him if he was a traitor to Padme and Obi-Wan and Vader answers YES, because that was the truth even if it cut at him but he knew that was the Emperor´s intention. To use the darkside you must often focus on your negative emotions, in Vaders case pain and suffering were the mains emotions keeping him conntected to it,not just physical but also emotional and psycological pain.

Vader didn´t have the illusion of believing Padme would have followed him and if he did Palpatine didn´t allow him to believe it as part of keeping him chained to the darkside, he had to keep him hopeless, so Vader focused all of his attention on ruling the Empire and finding some meaning in his turn to the darkside that way. But it wasn´t anger or hate the emotions keeping him there, it was pain and suffering.

I have always found this interesting about his character, because his own perspective on "Putting Order in the galaxy" very much reflects Anakin´s skywalker frustrated wish to "free all the slaves" just that his perspective, like his mind, were twisted at the time, so while Vader was aware he didn´t bring freedom, Order became his main motivation.

I don´t support the idea that he thought much about Obi-Wan or Ahsoka during his early years as Vader, if ObiWan´s memory was painful to think about, from Anakin´s betrayal to Obi-Wan leaving him to die, Ahsoka´s memory made Vader change his thoughts quite quickly and he could barely think about Padme without regret. Focusing on the Empire and trying to bring whatever order he thought could be beneficial, that was the focus on his life from that day on until he discovered the existence of his Son, which gave him some hope to have a family again, if not to leave the darkside.

I believe, following the OT, Vader wasn´t in denial about being Anakin skywalker, he just believed everything that make Anakin Skywalker, the person he used to be, died right along his loved ones, Anakin skywalker existed but whatever value Anakin originally had in that name had lost it´s meaning "That name no longer means anything to me", spiritual death, there was no escaping the darkside but he still could do something with what he had left.
