#as much as i love sad obi-wan I also enjoy happy obi-wan

⛵️ Five Fandoms, Five Ships ⛵

Get to know the blogger, via five different ships from five different fandoms!

I was tagged by @tideswept Thank you 💐💐💐

I tag @apfelhalm @squishymamasboy @virahaus @lovey-dovey-and-sad @fizzigigsimmer (only if you want)

I chose the pairings that make me happy at the moment.

1) Obi-wan/Anakin (Star Wars)

As a teenager I was a big Anidala shipper but as I got older I start fo fall in love with Ewan McGregor (thank you Moulin Rouge!).

I also found out that there are slash pairings and so I saw the movies with different eyes. 😌

I still enjoy Anidala fanart but my Star Wars OTP are these two. There are so many different ways to make them fall in love. Vaderkin, Padaobi, Vaderwan... I love them all. 🖤💙

2) Arnold/Rishe (The 7th Time Loop)

I love and adore this light novel series so much. I can't describe how much I stan this series.

I was so happy that it got an anime and it was such a gorgeous one!!

Rishe is such an interesting character who lived through so much stuff. Sometimes she is too innocent but okay that is a classical trope in Japan. 🙈

On the other side Arnold is a badass who is so in love with fiance. Sadly nobody believes him because he is a murderous asshole. 😂

I pray we will get more anime seasons. 🙏

3) Maomao/Jinshi (The apothecary diaries)

Another awesome light novel series. ❤️

I have one of the two manga adaptions at home and I adore the anime adaption.

It is such a great historical mystery show with two strong leads.

Maomao as the clever apothecary who grew up in a bordell and knows the world is fucked up and then Jinshi who has so many secrets and needs to keep so many secrets as he works for the emperor. A perfect pair even if their own personalities and pasts work against a relationship.

4) Lan Zhan/Wei Ying (MDZS)

It was so hard to chose a Danmei pairing 😭 especially between MXTX but you never forget your first time. 😋

I love them and their cute little son. Even through it is super angsty I love the time period when our sunshine fell to the dark side. I love AUs which give these two and the Wens a chance for a happy end even if their love destroys the world.

5) Frieren/Himmel (Frieren)

Don't you also simply love these doomed elf/human relationships especially when the elf realizes too late what they felt?

Yeah, these two are super fucking cute but also super angsty. They are doomed since episode 1 but I still adore every flashback scene with them and I weep over every scene in the present when Frieren realizes "It is too late."

Dirk headcannons (feat. Brotzly):

I’m not even sure this one isn’t canon, we never see him sleep any other way. He sleeps like a soldier and it takes a long long time for him to grow out of it. Mostly because he can’t cuddle Todd like that. But for a while it was Todd’s leg over him and maybe his arm while he lays straight. The first times he stayed over he made sure to wake up before Todd so he wouldn’t notice.

Again, this is canon I think but his power isn’t being a detective, it’s getting pulled into messes, surviving and some extra way of seeing connection. The whole detective thing is an identity he created to be useful with his gift, not it’s purpose

He’s terrible at uno and always getting dealt awful hands in cards. All the intuition is for the cases

His sleeping routine is hideous. He wakes up when the universe wants him to but we made breakfast plans, you asshole! Wake up!

His hair burns easily, that’s why it’s darker after blackwing. Give him some sunlight and we’ll get the almost ginger look back. Or maybe we see it dyed in s1

One of his love languages is physical touch but he never knew that cuz he never really got it in his life. Mostly just sitting super close to another person, he loves it

He got so good at the daydream thing at blackwing that sometimes he makes comments about outings and happy memories that didn’t actually happen. Everyone is initially confused but after he confesses about the dreams to Todd and Farah one night it all falls into place

His memory is amazing. He can recount everything he he’d had for breakfast for the last 2 weeks

If pressed, he’ll say his favorite band is the Beatles because there’re the only ones he know more than two songs from. He really enjoyes their sillier ones, sometimes hums them under his breath. Todd decides to be cute and plays Yesterday and Hey Jude (remembered from his younger years) for him but in that way people cover songs that makes them sound sad so Dirk almost cries and doesn’t get that these were meant to be something specifically for him to enjoy. “They’re too sad, Todd! Why would you play a song about a breakup to me!?” After that Todd makes more of an effort and learns “Here comes the sun” and “Obladi-oblada” so they can sing together

Dirk also enjoys any song that has a lot of words to remember. He knows all of “we didn’t start the fire”, “it’s the end of the world as we know it” and “one week”. The only person vaguely able to keep up is Amanda

I strongly disagree to the notion that he only watches cartoons. His cinema knowledge is goes from “Who’s this again? Oh, obi-wan kenobi, okay” to “I’ve seen every movie with Pierse Brosnan” so through movie nights the agency slowly goes through the classics and he enjoys a lot of it. My pics for his favorites would be “Little Miss Sunshine”, “Knives Out” and “Big Fish” but I’m not too much of a movie buff to truly know.

He always guesses the plot twist btw

[jedimasterbailey]

Hey baby 😘 for the Jedi ask game I am going to focus on the most popular misunderstood Jedi that deserve all the love (sorry for the bombardment dear 🤣):

Mace: 14, 33, 41, 42

Luminara: 31, 34, 35, 45

Barriss: 30, 32, 36, 47

Mace 💜

14-How does Mace like to meditate?

I feel like Mace LOVES to mediate with others even though he can meditate alone just fine. He also comes off as plant guy to me, so I feel Mace’s favorite spot is in the Temple gardens with his Padawan Depa and later Caleb, but Mace wouldn’t turn anyone away, he would even let Anakin mediate with him if the man gave him a chance. Given his position within the Order and his fighting style (being able to channel dark side energy without giving into it), Mace is under a lot of stress at times so being around others be it loved ones or others, puts his mind and spirit at ease and I find that to be a beautiful thing. Most Jedi see Mace as an open and caring man instead of the intimidating Master others may see.

33-If Mace was able to survive Order 66, how would he live?

Mace would most definitely get the hell away from Coruscant as soon as he can and as far as he can. With all that’s happened, Mace would know he cannot take on the rising Empire alone especially wounded so he would need to flee and recoup somewhere safe until he can get back on his feet. I don’t believe he would return to his homeworld for obvious reasons, Mace would want to charter to some backwater planet where he can lay low and avoid Imperial attention. I don’t believe Mace would be want to be an active Jedi for a while because trauma, but he like Obi-Wan would do what he can to survive until he makes peace with what’s happened. I can see this going one of two ways. Either Mace lives a comfortable life of solitude helping out when he can or he could became a part of the Path and aid other surviving Jedi and Force sensitives in time of need, passing on his wisdom, possibly reuniting with Kanan in the process.

41-Is Mace more of a droid person or a critter person?

Mace seems to be a guy that’s all about life and with that comes critters. He would definitely be the dad that lets Depa bring in all the stray Tooka cats, birds, etc. because he enjoy taking care of things and being around animals help him relax like his plants.

42-What’s something Mace will never forget?

Okay I’m going to give a happy answer to this and a sad answer to this. I’ll start with the sad one to get it out of the way; I don’t believe Mace will ever forget the fact that if he had followed through in killing Dooku, that things could have ended differently. Maybe the Clone Wars would not have started that day and so many Jedi would still be alive. If you’ve ever read the Legends book “Shatterpoint”, you’d know that Mace constantly beats himself up over his decision to spare Dooku due to personal feelings. As for the happy one, I believe Mace could never forget all the milestones of his little girl (Depa) growing up from Padawan, to Knighthood, to making her a member of the Council, and to meeting his grand Padawan Caleb.

Luminara 💚

31-A Jedi Luminara looks up to the most?

Obi-Wan Kenobi 💙 I think Luminara would be in awe of someone who has dealt with so much tragedy in his life yet still chooses the light. Despite losing his Master and witnessing his death, taking on a Padawan when he wasn’t ready, losing his old flame, etc. Obi-Wan stays true to his Jedi ways and I believe that would inspire Luminara to do the same since she will inevitably deal with tragedy later. We don’t know anything about Luminara’s past, but given we don’t know who her Master was for sure, it’s safe to say that Luminara may have already faced grief and suffering in her past and perhaps leaned on Obi-Wan during those times only for her to return the favor. I would also say that Anakin isn’t far from being number one to her either since Luminara does openly praise him and trust him despite teasing him on his recklessness. I think she respects Anakin’s unorthodox way of thinking when she herself can’t think of another solution.

34-Luminara’s favorite food.

SWEETS! Luminara will never turn down a pastry, candy, etc. because she has the biggest sweet tooth and always has. You will always catch her eating a chocolate croissant or something with her morning coffee and she will always have her dessert after dinner. Barriss picks up on the habit as well because those two women need just has much sugar as they do caffeine to get through the days 😅

35-Luminara’s drink of choice.

A chai tea latte, hot or iced depending on the weather. Given the amount of stress Luminara is constantly under, she needs her caffeine (like Barriss only I headcanon her to be a huge coffee drinker) but she’s a classy lady that turns to tea more than coffee plus she loves some spice in her drink. Not to mention she can’t get drunk often so better to stay safe. Barriss knows that after a long day of work, that her Master loves to decompress with her chai and her Padawan will happily fetch that drink for her at the local space Starbucks anytime.

45-How was Luminara brought to the temple to become a Jedi?

I like to believe another Mirialan woman, possibly Master Katri (who I also headcanon to be Luminara’s Jedi Master) discovered baby Luminara on their homeworld of Mirial by chance as if the Force pulled them together. I also love the idea of Luminara possibly hailing from a very affluent family (like Dooku) or perhaps even Mirialan royalty of some sort but they happily give her to Katri as being a Jedi is a huge honor in Mirialan culture.

Barriss 💙

30-Her most embarrassing moment.

During a mission with Ahsoka and their respective Masters, Barriss gets caught by both Luminara and Anakin kissing Ahsoka in a closet or something. Anakin starts to laugh whilst Luminara is all stoic (even though she is trying so hard not to laugh and rub it in Barriss’s that she knew along) and is like “sorry to interrupt Padawan, carry on.” causing Barriss to blush real hard and almost faint this Ahsoka has to calm her down and reassure her everything is alright 🤣

32-Her thoughts on flying.

I don’t believe Barriss would have much of an opinion on flying. She can do it but she’s not obsessed with it nor does she hate it. To Barriss, flying is just getting from point A to point B and that’s that. She most definitely wouldn’t be pulling stunts like Anakin or Ahsoka because as a healer safety comes first 👍🏻

36-Her guilty pleasure.

Reality holotv, Barriss needs something to remind her that her life while traumatic and chaotic isn’t nearly as bad as others.

47-Her best quote.

I can’t remember which Medstar book it was but Barriss was explaining Jedi philosophy to one of the doctors she was working with and this particular quote made me love her all the more 💙

“A Jedi’s strength doesn’t come from her lightsaber but rather the strength of her heart.”

This quote has me feeling all the feelings for multiple reasons. One, it perfectly captures what it means to be a Jedi. It’s not about power, it’s about inner strength. Two, again with Barriss’s role as a teenage war hero and medic, she really does have to dig deep to find her courage in order to help people in disastrous situations. It’s not easy, but she does it and I find that kind of bravery beautiful. Three this quote just speaks to me on a personal level as I’ve dealt with plenty of traumas and tragedies in my real life but somehow I find a way through even when I want to give up. Barriss is an inspiration and she must have gotten that wisdom from somewhere either from Luminara herself or someone else in her Jedi family 💙💚

Original Jedi Ask Game Questions

[noweakergirl]

HI HI HIIII I FINISHED UP THE SEQUELS AND THE PREQUELS OF STAR WARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hayden at the end as Anakin watching Luke omg. And the prequels are the best ever I'm obsessed with them. And did I mention how good Hayden is as Anakin. And Anakin and Padme!!!! Also R2 😭. I watched it cause of your blog so thank youuu bestie <3. Also forever gonna be sad/angry that Palpatine misused Anakin's fears and love for his family. And Anakin!!!!!!! And Obi-Wan too

Omgggg omg!!!! I am so happy you enjoyed it!!!! 🥺 Bless you for loving prequels as much as I do. Even though I love Star Wars as a whole, prequels have my entire heart and I am and always will be obsessed with them.

That scene at the end of ROTJ was so sweet ahhh. The fact Luke's kindness and love for his father saved Anakin from the darkness is so HSJKSKS. I'll never be normal about it. 🥺

P. S. If you have time and ever consider watching some more of Star Wars, I'd hiiiiighly recommend seeing Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show. It is set between episode III and episode IV, and it is one of my favorite parts of the entire story. So angsty and SO good. (It also has little Leia and little Luke who are a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e)

I'm so glad my blog ignited the spark for you to watch the movies and I am especially glad you loved them! ❤️

I'm curious, who do you consider your favorite character?

[tennessoui]

I binge read time and tide over the last half day, I stayed up until 3am reading and my heart is just !!! It's beautiful, it hurts, and I love it. It is perfect on every level. Can't wait to see how things go, but also sad to say goodbye to baby obi because... something about baby obi wan just does things to me. Anyway, they're beautiful, they story is beautiful, you are beautiful! 💖

💙💙 Aw thank you!! It’s great to hear you enjoyed what I have out so far 🥰 the next chapter is in the works and while it’s not…particularly happy, it’s technically a reunion chapter!

(sort of)

all my love for baby obi-wan though, 25 yo obi-wan was really going through it and he was trying his bestest and I adored writing him and writing anakin’s realizations about just how much obi-wan has always tried to do the best by him 🥺 I’m a simple gal

20 Questions for fic writers

Tagged by @barry-j-blupjeans (thank you!!!)

tagging @sgrumby and anyone who wants to play!!

1. How many works do you have on A03?

132

2. What's your total A03 word count?

568,150! half a million!!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mainly TAZ Balance and Star Wars (Prequels/TCW era, mostly), but I've written a fair amount for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the past, and I'll sometimes write a fic here or there for other fandoms.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

They're all Star Wars fics, which makes sense but makes me kind of sad because I love my other fics too. But oh well:

still much that is fair.

Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Jedi Code, and Other Things That Anakin Has Misunderstood

Take Two

brothers don't let each other wander in the dark alone

growing season (absolutely BLEW MY MIND that this one is in my top five now. It's a one-shot kidfic for a pairing I don't write often?? I'm not used to those getting notes. But I guess it is the Codywan era for prequels fans so I can see where it's coming from.)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! But sometimes I don't have the spoons for it. But I love getting comments and want to show my appreciation!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't usually write super angsty endings! I don't like them. Or, well, actually I do enjoy them sometimes, but IDK, if I'm writing a whole-ass fic, I usually want to make the ending happy!

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending

still much that is fair! which is wild because it has one of the angstiest premises I've ever written (suicide attempt that all loved ones believed to be successful, ends with characters giving each other hugs and 'love yous' and closure)

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Rarely. Every once in a while. Sometimes people don't like me writing autistic headcanons or characters mentioning pronouns.

9. Do you write smut?

No. I'm not opposed to it in fic, but it doesn't interest me.

10. Do you write crossovers?

No, but I'll read them sometimes. I'm not opposed to writing them, but I've never really gotten an idea for one that inspires me.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of! I did once have someone warn me that my fic was 're-posted' to ao3 back in the days when I was still posting on both ffnet and ao3 with different usernames.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, actually, though I forgot about it until asked! It's not one I ever posted. I co-wrote a Maximum Ride fic with a friend in middle school, lol. But I'd love to co-write again in the future! It's fun to talk about ideas with friends.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

All-time favorite ship is SO hard for me because I'm a multishipper and I flipflop fandoms a lot, so I kind of default to my first (and still beloved) ship: Janeway/Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager. I'm also gonna answer for my two main fandoms atm: Star Wars is Obi-Wan/Satine and TAZ Balance is Barry Bluejeans/Lup/Lucretia, because I love a good polycule. Also Barry and Lup on their own are great but they remind me too much of my parents to really go wild over them.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Be My Brother's Keeper. A Darcy Lewis is Tony Stark's daughter AU. I love that one and I had PLANS for it, but my Marvel days are so long gone.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm good at coming up with creative, unique ideas and making them work!! People often say that they didn't expect to like my fics from the premise but enjoyed them anyway. :3 I'm also good at character interactions and emotions

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Describing things, mainly visual things that are happening. They're just there, in the fanfic, not in a physical location to me. Also staying motivated to finish writing and avoiding derailing my own ideas with wanting to include EVERYTHING.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I haven't done it before but I'm not opposed!

19. fandom you wrote for?

Like, first fandom? Nancy Drew. I wrote a Nancy Drew fanfic when I was eight years old on looseleaf notebook paper, before I knew that anyone else wrote fanfic. In it, Nancy fell down a hole, broke her leg, everyone who loved her thought she was dead and they were all soso sad, but then they found her and it ended happily. My tastes have not evolved much since, but my writing ability has!

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Changes often! Currently it is The Parent Trap(ped in an Umbrella) but I'm also quite fond of Still Much That Is Fair and one more last try, I'm gonna get the ending right.

[starboundanon]

HERBIE!!! THAT UPDATE!! i’m so sad for luke and obi-wan my god… also obviously i figured that that was where anakin was going/planning once you said he wasn’t fighting back but i’m glad that luke at least managed to talk him down from that. out of curiosity, is it that anakin knows All the cops in town from working for sidious or was there just something anakin knew regarding who was on shift etc? and did luke immediately lie about what was happening because he’s afraid of anakin or is he just that stockholmed that his instinct is to protect him?

oh also sidenote but am i misremembering or did sotf use to have a happy ending tag on it? 😭 bc i dont know if i can see that being the case at this point but i feel like i remember it having it at one point..

I think Palpatine has cops on his payroll all over the place — but especially in a town where his favoritest henchman was just living in. Anakin probably set the whole thing up, but I like to leave some of the more finicky details to the imagination. Could all just be a happy coincidence that Piett and Ozzel responded to that call. Maybe this was just Luke’s fate.

As for why Luke lied… that’s really up to interpretation. Fear played a part, sure. Humiliation, definitely. Recognizing that something wasn’t right with these cops and that justice wasn’t likely to be served, even if only on a subconscious level. And I think Luke wants to stay with his dad, at least to some degree. Maybe he’s not in love with him but he does love him; he does want this person in his life, for better or worse, even if this is the only way he can have him.

And there’s shame at play, too, because regardless of why, of natural bodily reactions to things, Luke feels deeply self-conscious of the fact that he did physically enjoy the shit his father did to him. He doesn’t want Obi-Wan to know that, even if he knows everything else. He doesn’t want that dark secret to come to light.

SotF did not have a happy ending tag, since this is very much a, “the villain wins” kind of story. Might add the Hurt No Comfort tag when I post the epilogue, but even that is kind of subjective.

[kenobster]

Hey - just wanted to send a note after your last post bc I didn't interact with your Vader mpreg posts and wanted to explain why ,- it's not at all because I find you grotesque or any of those other terrible things!! I love your writing, I'm just in an Obi-Wan whump hyperfixation rn and scroll past anything that doesn't mention him 😭 I'm so sorry, it was never my intention to dig up any bad thoughts!! Sending you hugs ❤️

Hey friendo ❤️ Thanks for the ask and for sharing your feelings with me! I'm super grateful for your reassurance, you are very kind. I also really want you and everyone else to understand that y'all did absolutely nothing wrong. (Radiates huge hug energy for everyone!)

Like, I have scrolled past many a post without interacting with it. Sometimes I've even scrolled past posts that I want to interact with but am simply having a bout of executive dysfunction for whatever reason. There've also been many, many, many times (practically every time honestly) in which I do not reach the end of my dash by the end of the day and countless posts are lost to the whims of time because of it. And yeah, people will try to make us feel guilty for that. People who are hurting will especially try to make us feel guilty for that. There is post after post after post after post on this website demonizing people who don't comment or reblog for "ruining fandom." But those posts aren't being fair. Those posts are just coming from people who are hurting.

The truth is that life just be like this sometimes.

Regarding the other thing you said, I am well aware people follow me for a variety of interests! I know that not everyone shares my interest in horrifying atrocities against trainwreck villains, and that's fabulously okay with me. :) I like having differing dimensions and moods and places to exist. It's good for rainy days like today! And I'm very grateful that my broad spectrum of interests doesn't stop you from enjoying the things I post that you are interested in; that makes me incredibly relieved to hear!!

But yeah, so an interaction with a post about, say, Every Shadow isn't an interaction stolen from Vader's uterus. At least, not in my mind. It's true that I may be having feelings right now that are first affecting my ability to work on tamer/more popular interests -- but that doesn't mean I've forgotten every single wonderful person who has conveyed enjoyment of those interests! To the contrary, those people (you included!) make very happy and will continue to make me happy and have no bearing on my sad feelings in any way whatsoever. I enjoy asks about shadow AU and reblogs of Every Shadow chapters and likes of my dumb hot takes just as much today as I will next week and as I did last year. Yo, yesterday, someone even commented on one of the first Loki fanfics I ever wrote (back in 2014!), and even that gave me pure and utter joy. Believe it or not, there's no possible interaction any single one of you could have with me that could dig up bad thoughts or otherwise hurt me. So please don't ever feel like my sad feelings are reflective of anything anyone did or didn't do. <3

My sad feelings are a Me Problem, not a fandom problem. And sometimes Me Problems are nobody's fault. Sometimes people feel bad or need to take steps to preserve their mental health, and it's only the fault of some stupid brain chemicals trained to cause certain illogical reactions. But I'm gonna be fine, anon, so you keep being you. :)

[ragnarlothcat]

top 5 tcw episodes (if you've watched it!)

I have, thank you 🥰 Okay I'll put them under the cut just in case someone hasn't seen an episode because I am outright spoiling them.

The Box – I have a lot of complicated feelings about the Hardeen arc (see my forever wip for details) but I like sneaky Obi-Wan and all the tests for the criminals. Great stuff. I’d like it better if Obi-Wan’s face was in it too but I suppose we can’t have everything.

Sacrifice – Yoda!!! He loves the Jedi so much and they love him. It makes me sad and also a bit happy for our beloved frog man.

Orders — Poor Fives!!! Poor Rex!!! They were so close!!! Rex is one of my favourites and I don’t know why I’m picking an episode that devastates him but I stand by it. The whole arc is great (there’s a really funny droid in an earlier episode I think) and I do really like the episodes that focus more on the clones.

The Lawless — is this a mean episode/arc to pick? Probably! Maul is such a great villain though and Obi-Wan looks very handsome in his armour. Sorry, Satine? Also I really enjoyed the action scenes!

The Gungan General – unparalleled antics! Brattiest Anakin, sassiest Obi-Wan, bullied Dooku and HONDO. My absolute favourite episode. I like all the serious episodes too but this is just so fun, and I like things that are fun.

[therhythmafterthesummer]

TANYAAAAAA. I READ YOUR COMMENT LAST NIGHT RIGHT BEFORE BED SO I COULDN'T ANSWER PROPERLY BUT WHEN I TELL YOU MY HEART WAS RACING SDKJFHSKDJFHSJKDF you're so cute, ilysm.

i HAVE to comment on your comment. i MUST. this is gonna be SUPER LNG and i'm probably going to overshare details you didn't ask for sdkjfhsdkjfsfhd

not you going on your laptop to write the comment KJSDFHSKJFHJSD got me cackling. 117k words are a lot of words to read omg you did read this quite fast.

the fact that you got to enjoy it this much when fantasy isn't your thing is just so 🥺🥺🥺 warms my heart !!

the queen is like the loml istg i'd date her too but she's too in love with chris for her to give us the time of day SIGH

when i was writing this fic i literally went like "you know what? fuck homophobia, being queer is the norm just because i say so" so i did this KJDSHFKSJDF to the point where now when i read a fic that's not like this i'm like…. "huh…. right. we're not the norm" lmaoo

adding the little irl details was just soooo fun. i needed to pay tribute to Chris' iconic red hair (i'm a redhair!Chris defender/lover first and human second).

the whole piercing thing i don't explain it in the story (i did it in a spin-off i wrote literally only for my bsf and i that focuses on Sol and how he bonded with hoseok because we love sol and hoseok skjdfhsjkdf), but essentially Liraleans get one or more piercings done when they turn 18 as a rite of passing, so Chris did it, too. not only because he thought it'd look cool but because he wanted to honour the tradition as well even if he was weeellll past 18.

i'm so happy you liked the pacing and the chemestry and complexity of it all. this fic is my baby💜

your comment made me realise i need to get back to working on the drabbles. i think i haven't posted one since january and i have lots of them hahaha like 30k+ words worth of drabbles or smth.

as for what inspired me… several things. my brain likes to find escape in fake worlds it likes to create, so a few years ago before bed i started thinking this scenario like… "what if there was a group of rebels… running away from someone for some reason, and they end up stranded on a planet, and they're taken to the throne room and almost executed but the queen of the planet saves them and then turns out she's also a rebel?" i didn't make anything with it until last year i remembered it and i was already deep into my skz brain-rot so the concept started growing and growing in my head.

the final detonator was me watching obi-wan kenobi and being like I NEEED LOVE IN SPACE. I NEED IT, and also me getting deep into breath of the wild again (a lot of the Sheikah concepts in the legend of zelda games also inspired me a lot). so SH was born kjsdhfskjdf if i'm being honest, i just started writing shit. like i kept getting ideas and scenarios and concepts for this world and i just wrote them down ! shit like "oooohhh what if they're soulmates". or "oooohhh what if the queen has a king but THEY'RE TWINS NOT REALLY MARRIED and Chris' all sad abouttt ittt until he finds out". or "WHAT IF OTHER KPOP IDOLS EXIST IN THIS UNIVERSE" sdjskdasdj (i'm so deep into SH lore that the only reason BTS weren't in the Alliance was because i made them Liraleans and childhood friends of the twins. i can even give THAT an explanation lmaooo).

one thing about me is that in any significant story i'll add twins. this is something i've done since i started writing fanfiction when i was like 12 years old sdfjhsdkjf so the Queen and her brother are just soooo dear to me. i love them with my whole heart. i call them my Neurodivergent Twins because they're autistic/adhd coded lol. why did i do it? because i'm autistic and i wanted to do it, that's literally it.

also yes, as a raging demisexual it's impossible for me not to build the emotional connection first dsjkfhsdkjf which is why i love friends to lovers and soulmate aus so much, they let you do a lot of that.

honestly, all i can say is that your comment made my whole week. i love when people get to read safe haven and share their thoughts with me, especially if they enjoyed it. this fic is bigger than some books out there, so i know that puts people off, but it's okay. those that can take the time to read it i just really appreciate a lot💜💜💜

How they would react if you jumpscared them

Authors note: I’m laying in bed again, thinking about prompts to write for.. ALSO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ENJOYING MY OTHER TWO LITTLE HEADCANONS!!? I DIDN‘T THINK PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY ENJOY THEM.. normally I don’t write that often because I am a lazy, depressed person who‘s just moody all the time lol

TW: bad grammar, cursing(?)

Featuring: Obi wan, Anakin Skywalker and Din djarin

(Requests are open <3 )

Obi wan

You would stand no chance. He is a Jedi, a top tier Jedi on top of that, there is just no way you could ever catch him off guard not even when he sleeps. This poor man just never rests or even lets his guard down for the sake of his and the safety of the ones he needs to protect. But you will try anyways..

You were currently hiding behind a large bush that covered you fully. You waited a long time until you sensed Obis presence coming closer.. You prepared yourself to jump out of your cover and when the right moment came, you struck!

But there was no one there! The place where Obi wan should stand was empty and his presence was no where to be felt. You were confused and froze in your tracks, you looked down the hallway but no one could be seen. You shrieked when two arms wrapped themselves around your waist „What are you doing princess?“ a soft chuckle escaped the Jedi master from behind you. As soon as you knew who had captured you, you stopped squirming in his grasp

„Obi!“ you called out relieved „I tried to scare you“ you admitted „But you probably already knew that, didn’t you?“ you chuckled while leaning against him slightly „Of course I did my love“ he kissed the top of your head before letting you go „But I have to say, you almost got me“ he winked at you before gesturing you to follow him „Now where shall we go?“ He said while turning his gaze at you „How about that new bar? I heard it’s nice and cheap!“ you said. Kenobi thought about it for a second before nodding „Sure, let’s try that“

Anakin Skywalker

I feel like scaring him isn’t too hard.. he isn’t as attentive as Obi is, so if you hide your presence and get him to a point where he doesn’t have his guard up, you can actually scare him!

Today was the day! You thought about a plan the whole week on how to scare Anakin. You were currently sitting in your closet, presence hidden from Anakin so he wouldn’t sense you were there. When the front door slid open you held your breath, scared that your breathing would blow your cover.

„I‘m Home!“ Anakins Voice was heard not far from the front entrance. When you didn’t answer Anakin was puzzled. Where you asleep? Or even home? He didn’t feel you.. His steps grew louder as he walked into your shared bedroom with the closet standing in it. You saw anakin looking around the room for a few seconds before shrugging. Maybe you were out doing something important? He would check that later, you were probably fine, he knew you could handle yourself so he wasn’t worried.

Anakin slid of his robe off and stepped Infront of the closet. Just when he was about to open it, you ripped open the doors and jumped in his face. Anakin jumped back “WHAT THE FUCK“ was all you heard before you burst out laughing „What are you doing!? Are you crazy?? I could have hit you!!“ Anakins Voice was filled with shock and a tint of anger while he clutched his chest „I‘m- I‘m sorry Ani!“ you could barely talk, it was just such a funny moment

„I can’t sometimes with you“ Anakin pouted and turned away from you. You stopped laughing and slowly approached your partner „I‘m sorry Ani..“ you said while hugging him from behind „Please forgive me..“ you put your head on his back and whispered hundreds of apologies on his ear like a sad puppy. How could he stay mad at that?

He turned around, so your head would lay on his chest „Be happy that you are to cute to stay mad at“ he would say playfully angry while having a big smile on his face and without a warning he wrapped his arms around you and picked you up, throwing you in the bed and himself on top of you. You were now big spooning him „Ani what are you doing?“ you asked but he shushed you „Pshh, I deserve this“ he would say. You chuckled and gently played with his hair until you felt his even breathing tickling on your stomach. (I‘m in love with little spoon Anakin)

Din Djarin

Let me just say that this guy probably just aims his weapon at you so you have to make sure he is unarmed (good luck with that) Din I feel like wouldn’t verbally express his shock rather in his expression but since he wears his signature helmet, you wouldn’t even notice much

You were holding Grogu when the idea came to your mind. You were unsure if you would actually want to do it, but because there was nothing else to do you decided to just go for it but before you did, you talked to the little kid as if he could help you decide on what to do.

You sat down the green child in its crib and approached the sleeping Mandolorian on the pilot seat silently and just when you were about to scare him he spoke up „Do not try to scare me Mesh‘la“ his voice sounded clear as day as if he didn’t even sleep „Wait how did you know I was gonna scare you?“ you asked baffled anyone watched Din stand up from his seat to look at you „I know everything“ he said with the most serious tone in his voice. You just chuckled and took Grogu back into your arms while the Mandolorian watched you.

You smiled and shook your head in amusement of his answer „Well it was worth a shot“ you said and stepped closer to the taller man to place a gentle kiss on his helmet before leaving with the little one in your arms. Din just stood there, flustered in the deepest shade of red and hell he was happy he had the helmet to cover himself. You made this man a mess with just one gesture congratulations!

Ok ok I got lazy in the end! I had to take a break from writing this shit. I‘m not proud and I don’t like what I wrote, but I’m still gonna send this out

Finally got my copy of the latest Obi-Wan comic, #3!!

As you can see from the cover, it's got Cody + the 212th!

Spoilers beneath cut:

Ah...😭😭😭

"I still think of my Second-in-Command, CC-2224--whom I called "Commander Cody"--with great fondness. I miss him to this day. Even though he eventually tried to kill me. So it goes with my friends, it seems."

Comic is worth it for the above lines alone, in my humble opinion.

Also, new 212th boy just dropped!! He has a terrible haircut. I love him. Welcome, Airo!

("AR-" hmm, is he the first official 212th ARC? Though he lacks the fancy gear ^ ^;)

That's all the images I'll share, please buy the comic if you can to support it! I got mine at my not-so-local comic shop online.

Additional thoughts:

Overall I really enjoyed it! It was still obviously very Obi-Wan centric, I mean it's the Obi-Wan comic, but had armored!Obi-Wan and also a decent amount of the 212th + Cody. Less centered around the clones than I would have ideally wanted, but still more than expected! ^ ^;

Obi-Wan was drawn really beautifully! I could feel the love. I couldn't feel quite as much love for the clones alas ;_; (also, as much as I adore the cover, Cody my dude u do not look 20~22 max there buddy) Also Phase I helmets in comic but Phase II on cover, minor detail but hrng

One thing that makes me really sad is that the Obi-Wan narrator of this comic is ~20 years post ROTS, aka shortly before ANH. In this comic he isn't with Cody, and apparently still doesn't know about the chips/that the clones didn't want to betray him. Assuming this is canon, it effectively kills any chance of Cody showing up in Obi-Wan show S2.

Unless, of course, they decide to ignore this comic. I'm not sure how "canon" all the new comics/novels are, but I'm hoping that the stories within them won't completely dictate all future SW content, and that this story being Legends-ized is a possibility ;_;

I'm happy to see more Cody + 212th content, I don't want to seem grateful!! But, I still want to see at least part of the scrapped Obi-Wan script one day. It doesn't have to be that exact script! But a Cody + Obi-Wan reunion in some form, or at least closure for Obi-Wan in realizing the clones were victims not traitors.

#5 of this comic is apparently about Obi-Wan encountering a stormtrooper who reminds him of his clones. Maybe..?

(idk but this blurb reads like a Codywan fic summary doesn't it ahhaha)

But if Obi-Wan does find Cody again immediately before ANH...like again, closure is the most important part. But admittedly that's less time together than I would have ideally liked ;_; We'll have to see!

Either way, it's a lovely comic that has Obi-Wan + Cody + 212th. Please check it out if you can!

I love the jedi but enjoy the sith, mostly vader,new republic sith and old republic sith, do yoi have a lost of your favorite star wars villains.

In order, Dooku, Thrawn, Palpatine, Vader, OT-era Tarkin, Maul - and TCW!Hondo right after Dooku if that counts.

Pretty vanilla lmao. I like the Son as a concept but he's really not hardcore enough to really embody what he's supposed to represent. (There's not enough of the slimy slithering madness and viciousness that makes the Sith do stuff like sacrifice Jedi on altars and do blood magic rituals, among other things.) He's too tame for something supposedly worse than the Sith, though he'd be horrifying if he'd been more Dark-Side-y.

So, Dooku, because he's a disaster and a mirror to Anakin's garbage and because there's a lot of genuinely interesting things about a character who was among the wisest and noblest and who knows what the darkness is and willing embraces it anyway. he's Star Wars' Saruman and I love Saruman. It certainly helped that he was played by Sir Christopher Lee. The man was just that good.

Thrawn, because of the smooth, calm demeanor - much like Dooku's. That scene where he slowly explains what a kalikori is without revealing right away who is Hera, toying with us with his incredible score in the background, gave me shivers the first 4-5 times I watched it. I love sophisticated and collected villains. Brutish villains feel too simplistic and not nearly as frightening. I also love Star Wars aliens.

Palpatine because he's a delight to hate. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever - he's just absolute selfishness embodied and that makes if very fun. Also love the 'frail' old man whose power is in his insidiousness. I love how maniacally happy about his plans he always is and I love to think of how completely bored he must have been during the Empire days, before Luke showed up and gave him something to plot about. Sure I wish the Zillo beast could have flattened him to a Sheev pancake - or that Dooku would have just punted him into the sun before Naboo, but hey, at least he got thrown down a reactor and exploded twice and was never ever heard of again, right?

Vader because he's a powerhouse and that's always impressive. James Earl Jones' voice was always magnificent as well and there's something so expressive about faceless characters.

OT Tarkin because- smooth, calm and collected old villain. I really have a type ah ah. There's something so maddening about that complete confidence that they're right, that end-justify-the-means mentality they confuse for wisdom, that dismissive way they see the hot blooded righteous heroes as so beneath them...

Maul mostly for the times he goes completely crazy and either turns into a spider or a Temple-dwelling Sith cockroach and runs around painting Kenobi on the walls with his blood. I love his arc with Obi-Wan, I love what it says about the light and the Dark, the Jedi and the Sith, and the Florrum and Twin Suns duels are my favorite ever.

Finally, Hondo... Well, is Hondo. Much smarter, much more ruthless, and much saner than people give him credit for - just spectacularly greedy and ballsy. I wouldn't call him a villain so much as the true example of what a 'morally gray' character is. It's not good guys in impossible situations like Mace, it's not complex villains like Dooku, it's not the image people have of a tortured prince of darkness that deep down feels really sad about all the murder he's doing and it's not the selfless hero who angsts about quickly killing a monster that one time - it's Hondo.

I'm generally pretty indifferent to Ventress, Jango, Boba, bounty hunters like Cad Bane, the Hutts, villains of an episode, or more minor villains and/or reformed antagonists like Bo-Katan, Kallus, etc - as characters anyway. I might like them when they're onscreen or like their place in the story but they don't do much for me individually beyond that.

And a special mention goes to Miraj Scintel - the Zygerrian Queen and only Star Wars villain I truly and deeply loathe. I hate seeing her onscreen, I hate hearing her talk, I hate watching her move, I hate her aspirations, I just detest her. Everything about her is infuriating.

[andsheloved]

I see Obi Wan Kenobi on that list... How about Obi Wan admitting his feelings to a not a Jedi reader and promising that one day he will leave it all for them?

@uncle-kenobi DO YOU SEE THIS??? a fellow obi wan simp! hello obi anon! this made me kinda happy - sad in the best way, very much :'). i've been wanting to bring a bit more star wars on to my blog and i am so glad i got this ask!

.......................................................................................................................

"Master Jed-" You paused as you took him in fully, his robes slightly blackened from ash, his hair wasn't as perfect as it always was, a stray lock falling on to his forehead. Just from his eyes you could tell something was wrong.

"Please..." He hung his head, sighing, "Don't call me that."

He sounded desperate, his voice was strained, like he had been yelling and screaming for eternity and was just now getting time to rest.

"What..." Just as you were about to ask what had happened to him, you saw the tears, he was crying, no, sobbing.

You didn't hesitate to rush over to him, placing a hand on his back to steady him as you led him over to a chair.

You knelt beside him. "I'm here" you softly murmured you didn't want to press further into what had occurred, but right now, you didn't need to know, all you needed was for him to be okay.

"You always are."

You cocked your head in confusion, and he finally looked at you, placing his hand over yours as it rest on his knee.

"You're always-" He swallowed back another sob, his voice trembled "Always, here for me."

You smiled softly up at him, it physically hurt you to see the amount of pain in his eyes, and you knew in that moment that you would do anything to take it from him. "I always will be"

He laughed, and your eyebrows furrowed, "You know it all meant nothing? The Jedi... The codes... All of it."

You weren't used to him talking like this, he was always so strict with himself, and you thought about how bad his situation had to have been if he was questioning the very things he had lived by for so long.

"I wasted so much time..." He sighed, turning to look at you again. "I wasted so much time not being with you."

"Obi, you visit me all the time, I promise it's oka-"

"No, no, that's not what I mean" He seemed more sure of himself now, like all of the questions and doubts he had about everything for the last few days had now flown from his mind. He squeezed your hand, "I love you."

A quiet gasp left your lips, and you suddenly knew exactly what had happened, the Jedi Order had fallen. As shocking as that revelation was though, in a sad sort of way, you were happy. He was free.

You felt yourself begin to tear up, all the visits to your little hut, the flowers from distant planets, the kisses left on your knuckles that you had sworn burned into your skin, it wasn't just the chivalry of the Jedi Code he was always so intent on following all of the time, it was simply, him.

"Run away with me."

His rapid change in tone gave you whiplash,

"We could go anywhere, I don't care where, just let me be with you."

"I love you Obi" You smiled at him, "and I would have followed you anywhere that damned Order took you"

He chuckled sadly, like he was still mourning the loss of his way of life

"And I'd follow you anywhere now. As long as you allow me to love you."

You didn't know when it happened, when his rough hands had found themselves planted on your cheeks, all you knew is that you didn't mind, and when you found his lips feverishly pressing against yours, you also knew that this is how things were always meant to be.

"I love you" He repeated, his voice booming within the confines of your small home, like he wanted everyone to hear him.

Like he was finally free to share with the world his love for you.

Because he was.

.....................................................................................................................

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💖

Ahh hi sweet witch friend! Thank you so much for sending this through; it was fun looking back through my masterlist. I've picked a couple of my favourites below:

Does Not Suffice (4.3k, Obi-Wan Kenobi x f!Reader) — This one is a little bit sad and a little bit fluffy, set right after RotS when Obi-Wan first arrives on Tatooine. I really liked the idea of him finding a brief moment of comfort before beginning his exile, after what he'd just been through.

Subsumption (9.6k, Marc Spector x Layla El-Faouly) — This one was a bit of a passion project, because I knew it probably wouldn't appeal to a lot of others but I was really invested in it. It was the first proper ship pairing I'd written that wasn't a "x reader" and I was so proud of how it turned out! I gave myself lots of permission to be very indulgent with little hidden details and motifs, and I poured my guts into it haha.

Unforming (2.8k, Bodhi Rook x f!Reader) — I love Bodhi so much and I really liked reading up on his backstory for this, and learning about little details like his relationship with his mum growing up on Jedha and his gambling issues. I'm still very attached to my personal version of Bodhi, with his tattoos and his love for drawing!

Delta Squad headcanons (2.5k, Boss, Fixer, Scorch and Sev x f!Reader) — Secretly, I really cracked myself up writing for Scorch and I've really been wanting to write more for him! He's such an amazing character and I just love him. I also really liked how distinct each of the Deltas came out in these HCs! I tried really hard to expand on their little quirks and I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

Arise, Ascend (Series, Boba Fett x f!Reader) — I re-read this recently while working on a new chapter and it was really nice to remember how much I've been enjoying this world! I love the characters in this series, especially an older and wiser Boba than I'd written in the past, and it's made me really excited about finishing the story.

I'll tag (no pressure of course): @saradika, @janghoefett, @princessxkenobi, @strwrs, @letterfromvienna and anybody else who'd like to participate! x

Hi, I'm currently reading "The Jedi and his Duchess" and I was wondering - what 3 songs would you choose to 'represent' this fic?? It's so wonderful <3 Love your podast and posts!!!

Oh my goodness thank you so much! I'm so happy that you're enjoying it 💜

And what an interesting question. I don't listen to music with lyrics when I write. So, I can answer this question in 2 ways: What I listened to when I was writing and what songs remind me of the story.

Keep in mind, some of this might be a bit spoilery if you haven't finished the fic.

WHAT MUSIC DID I LISTEN TO WHEN WRITING THE JEDI AND HIS DUCHESS

Discovering The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim soundtrack unlocked my brain. I was stuck in a rut when writing this story...like...for a VERY long time. From Past to Present broke through all my writer's block and gave me my imagination back.

The Outlander soundtracks are on a constant rotation for me (Bear McCreary is a genius!), but Faith is what I listened to on repeat while writing the last few chapters.

And the music from August: Osage County also got my brain in the right space for this fic. The Fields is just the right hertz for my brainwaves.

WHAT SONGS REPRESENT THE JEDI AND HIS DUCHESS

I would be remiss if I didn't include some Nine Inch Nails here...because no music better correlates to Obi-Wan's life struggles, IMO. Right Where it Belongs seems appropriate...

And of course we need a sad breakup song...The End of the World by Sharon Van Etten should cover it.

Finally, Bowie's Heroes seems appropriate on so many levels.

I'd be interested to hear what songs you think represent the fic. It would be cool to create a The Jedi and His Duchess playlist!
