The sacrifice of Obi-Wan Kenobi

He is too far gone.

Obi-Wan hadn’t wanted to admit it, but he can’t continue to deny it.

Anakin is gone.

He barely recognises the man that stands before him now. He has done unspeakable things in the jedi temple, he has hurt Padmé, he has been trying to kill Obi-Wan for the last fifteen minutes, while Obi-Wan tried to tire him out to speak with him.

Now they stand in front of each other, and Obi-Wan has Anakin’s lightsaber in his left hand, his own on his right.

He is not fool enough to think that Anakin is defenceless without his lightsaber, but the fight has stopped for now. Obi-Wan is not sure the change has been for the best, the words that had come out of the man before him hurting him in ways he had never considered possible.

Until now, Obi-Wan had held out hope that Anakin could come back to him but his words, the look on his eyes, so far gone, have crushed the hope in him.

“You can’t kill me Obi-Wan” The man with Anakin’s face says. And Obi-Wan knows that he is right, or at least partly.

Obi-Wan knows that to strike Ankin down would burn his own heart to ash. Obi-Wan knows that he would never be able to kill Anakin Skywalker and then continue with his life, continue living. He also knows that there’s only one way for this to end. Obi-Wan can’t let Anakin continue like this.

“You are right.” Obi-Wan says. Anakin looks at him with surprise, just for a second, and then the frown, full of hatred, is back on his face. Obi-Wan throws Anakin’s lightsaber to the side and sees Anakin following it with his gaze. “I could never kill you. I should have listened to you, I should have helped you. I am sorry Anakin. I’m sorry you didn’t feel like you could trust me, like I was there for you when you needed me.”

There is doubt in Anakin’s eyes now, like he can’t quite believe what Obi-Wan is saying. Obi-Wan takes a step towards Anakin and when he doesn’t move, he keeps walking. “I love you Anakin” he confesses. There is shock in Anakin’s eyes again and when Obi-Wan finally closes the distance between them and takes him in his arms he doesn’t fight it.

Obi-Wan hugs Anakin closer to him, as hard as he can, and positions his lightsaber facing Anakin’s back.

“I’m sorry.” He whispers.

Obi-Wan lights the lightsaber. Feels it burn his chest.

Anakin moves then. He twitches, trying to move away from Obi-Wan, and he can feel his shock in the force. Obi-Wan holds him against him so he doesn’t move with the last of his strength as he feels the tears run down his face, the blood in his mouth.

Obi-Wan somehow always knew that he would die with Anakin by his side. He just never imagined it would be by his own hand, that he would kill both sides of his soul in the same move.

Not pictured: Anakin's shocked face bc he thought his master had finally understood him

Anakin's hand was in its way to return the hug :(

My sort of maybe embarrassing “late to the game” thing I’m learning now is how to tell if oil has gone bad.

I feel like most other foods have obvious visual tells like mold or they end up smelling foul and obviously bad. But I was googling about oil and the internet says “if it smells like crayons, it’s bad” which would not have been my first guess. And I tested it out on my somewhat old sesame oil and was like “by god, I would describe this as smelling like crayons”

Anyway protip if your old oil smells kinda like crayons it’s probably no good 🖍️

"School districts currently work with processing companies to offer cashless payment systems for families. But the companies can charge “processing fees” for each transaction. By law, students who are eligible for reduced price meals cannot be charged more than 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch. With processing fees, however, families can end up paying 10 times that amount. Processing companies charge as much as $3.25 or 4% to 5% per transaction, according to a recent report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau."
