50 years!

who gets proof of concept like that?

[obi-wkenobi]

When you get this, reply with your favourite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers, if you can. Let’s spread the self-love. ♥️

ah crap. okay, here we go:

To be remembered: the one fic that i love. that i'm proud of. that if anyone were to ask which fic of mine they should read, i would immediately suggest this one // canon compliant, sad desert daddy obi-wan, non-linear narrative

Something broken that can be fixed: post rako hardeen arc, emotional hurt and comfort, angst, happy ending

Torture (whumptober, day 12): torture, violence, force lightning, obi-wan whump, sad and angry vader

Bleeding (whumptober, day 19): alternative universe, reference to torture, graphic depictions of violence, grief, and major character death

Vertigo, collapse (whumptober, day 27): clone wars era, battles, anakin whump, emotional hurt, loss of friendship, bitter anakin, sad obi-wan

i dunno what it means that most of these are not obikin fics...maybe that i need to write more gen stuff?? hmm

[dreaminghour]

9, 10 & 11 for the ask game 😊

thank you so much for the ask, nasti <3

from "cool asks for fic writers"

9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?

i used to mostly only write original fic, for a long time my fanfic writing was only occasional. the last novel i was working on i started in 2013 and i've basically taken a hiatus from working on that. i'd basically stopped writing when i got super depressed in 2018 anyway. i went to finish my degree and picked up fanfic again in summer 2020.

i love the lack of pressure of monetization for fanfic. i was so stressed about querying and marketability when i was writing original works before. it was so hard to just keep my eyes on my plate. i'm really glad i leapt into this hobby with both feet.

i sometimes think about posting original works on ao3 but i'm not sure about it.

10. What inspires you the most?

i already answered this one, but i'll expand on my second point which is getting inspo from others' fanworks

sometimes when i'm new to a trope or a pairing or a show, i feel like i need something to build on.

it's a combo of needing to know what the water is like while also finding out if i want to pour a volatile compound into the mix. sometimes seeing people on the same wavelength is super affirming and sometimes i just want to sow chaos >:3

but it's also like... i want to be influenced by others, i want to get into the pool and splash around with some strangers, does that make sense?

11. Weirdest thing you’ve ever written/thought about writing/etc.?

hmm... probably dragon porn. i'm really into the idea of Qui-Gon fucking a dragon right now.

sorry this got so long!

16 and 21? 👀

Hello 💙👀 and thank you! (fic writers game)

16. What’s an AU you would love to read (or have read and loved)?

I think at least 50% of what I read is AUs at this point 🤔 I love them. I love new settings and new ways for Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship to develop. I'm still desperately holding out for a Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea AU but I'd be happy with any kind of historical AU. My pal @renlyslittlerose has a great WWII AU at the moment but I really enjoy all historical AUs when they come up. What if Obi-Wan and Anakin were renaissance artists together, or explorers, or rival kings???

21. If you wrote a “missing scene” in [insert fic], what would it be?

I guess I just pick a fic? In my fic as holy and enchanted (this is the one where Obi-Wan is an ancient god and Anakin is an archaeologist) I'd started writing a scene where Obi-Wan paints Anakin with the blue tattoos he has in the 2003 clone wars show as part of the sex ritual. And it was going to be sensual and drive Anakin's desperation but the fic was already pretty long and Anakin was already begging for it so it got scrapped. That could be fun to revisit!

Oh my god the first and last pics of the year - I had to dig for this. First pic was the view of istanbul from my friend's terrace, gorgeous view. last one was me holding the obi-wan lightsaber thing trying to show something to my friend.

A memorable meal this year - my birthday at my favourite restaurant in amsterdam. it was fffff amazing. (i would post a pic but i'm not on my phone </3)

3 Sentences WIP Game

Write three sentences of your current WIP, post them, then tag other people! (Make your own post)

I was tagged by @renlyslittlerose, thanks 💖

I think I'm starting to run out of WIP sentences to share at this point lol. This isn't tied to any of the events I'm supposed to be writing for or my active WIPs but a secret third thing.

“Anakin,” Obi-Wan sighs, a harder edge slipping into his name, that curl of irritation that makes Anakin’s fight or flight response go haywire in the best way. The little line briefly appears between his brows before it flickers away as Obi-Wan relaxes, like he’s releasing all the anger Anakin can so easily conjure up within him into the Force. “Please. It’s about what happened in the infirmary.”  The petty part of Anakin wants to slam the keypad again and watch the door hit Obi-Wan in the nose. Prolong their suffering just for the fun of it, to get back at Obi-Wan for making him stew in anxiety for a week and spare credits. But the needy part—the part that misses Obi-Wan like a part of him is aching—steps aside, creating enough space to admit entry.

I'm going to tag @anakinspraisekink, @theseptemberist, @starsdies, @zimriya, @coldwaughtered and my dear @elysian-prince

I don’t know if it can be properly conveyed how much shit was thrown Hayden’s way when his prequel movies came out. Just a metric fuckton of crap. After AOTC (and only in his very early 20s) he was swiftly made the Star Wars pariah, and ROTS did little to assuage that. A lot of the dissatisfaction with the prequels somehow fell on him, both his turns as Anakin got Razzie “Awards”, his name became synonymous with bad, wooden acting.

Over the years the opinion of his performance shifted to Hayden being an unfortunate victim of George Lucas' writing and directing, saddled with lines no actor could make work. But even that opinion still largely discounted Hayden's acting ability.

For him to come back after 17 years to the role he got so much flack for, have his big scene show not even half of his face (and have that face caked in makeup and prosthetic), have his voice distorted, and still deliver the way he did? Still convey all the rage and evil and arrogance but also pain and sadness within Vader? Show everyone this is why he landed the role two decades ago, because he can be frightening and vulnerable and devastating even with just one eye and the corner of his mouth visible? Show everyone he is Anakin/Vader, and make everyone consider he was good all along? Incredible, amazing, the chosen one indeed. Thanks Deborah Chow and Ewan for making this show, thank you Hayden for coming back.

rewatched the 2003 clone wars with @coldwaughtered and i am once again reminded that 1) anakin’s design in that series was a...choice, and 2) that he’s a brat. a young one who needs to be put in his place. we all know by who

[ragnarlothcat]

Thoughts on Anastasia obikin au (anakin as Anastasia) or beauty and the beast obikin? And while the more logical choice would be to make anakin the beast because of the whole darth vader thing, what about Obi-wan as the beast because when he turns back into a human and the beast turns out to be a bearded daddy ?? That would make sense too, no?

I can have some thoughts!!! My first re: Anastasia is that I happen to know that @coldwaughtered has an Anastasia AU percolating so I am tagging her in case she has any thoughts of her own. But I'm intrigued! My immediate thought was Anakin as Dimitri but you make a fair point. He can grow up as Ani instead of Anakin and maybe Shmi is living in Paris because I like when she gets to be alive! Plus then we get the classic scenes of Anakin in fancy outfits while Obi-Wan realizes that he secretly loves him which is one of my favourite tropes ever so I'm sold is what I'm saying.

As for Beauty and the Beast: yes!!! I love that you're making space for bearded beast Obi-Wan, how very handsome of him. And maybe we could adjust Belle's character so that Anakin is also an inventor? Not that he can't read but it's fun bringing over his canon traits, at least up until I have to write a scene in which he engineers something and I remember I don't know how electricity works.

(I know @tennessoui has a lovely Beauty and the Beast fic of her own with beast Anakin if you're interested in reading that casting, which I do recommend because it's great.)

But I do think your version works just as well! R2 is the horse, of course, because I think he and Philippe have a certain kinship. Are all the other Jedi turned into furniture? Is Aayla the talking feather duster just because they're both inexplicably French? I vote yes!!! I was going to say I couldn't imagine Obi-Wan being rude enough to get cursed but 1) the prince frankly wasn't rude enough to justify the insane curse put on him and his innocent servants/dog and 2) Obi-Wan did call Anakin a pathetic life form that one time. So in this AU maybe the evil witch is Jar Jar. I don't know. I'm just sort of saying stuff.

@coldwaughtered

you have bewitched me body and hole

[binaryeclipse]

Send this to people you’d like to know better!

thank you @lowkeyanakin and @coldwaughtered for the tag!!! 💖

What book are you currently reading? The Secret Commonwealth by Phllip Pullman!

What’s your favorite movie you saw in theaters this year? LOL I DIDN'T GO TO THE MOVIE THEATRE. Half because there was nothing I wanted to see and half because I would rather spend my money on other things

What do you usually wear? In the fall/winter/spring my go to is skinny jeans, knitted sweaters and high heeled boots! I'm trying to get out of my flannel era

How tall are you? 5'2" (157cm)

What’s your Star Sign? Do you share a birthday with a celebrity or a historical event? I'm a Virgo and I share a birthday with Frodo and Bilbo Baggins.

Do you go by your name or a nick-name? Irl I go by my name, any variation of a nickname based on it will get shot down immediately and if you try to call me one I will fight you. However, my dad does sometimes call me isobel. But honestly Isolde/Izzy has become as much of my identity as my real name.

Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child? Heck no. I wanted to be an archaeologist and my mom's co-worker was an archaeologist and when I met her she told me she worked the job she had, which was not archaeology, so she could do archaeology on her off time and my dreams were crushed. Working a job to do another job? No thanks.

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one? I am in a relationship and she's wonderful 💖

What’s something you’re good at vs. something you’re bad at? I'm good at writing and cooking and troubleshooting mechanical shit. I'm bad at advocating for myself.

Dogs or cats? I love both and yet I want neither. Let me play with your pet so I don't need to look after one! I just know my lifestyle isn't conducive to owning and caring for a pet in the way they need. I never had them growing up so I never learned how to organize my life around something that relies on me.

If you draw/write, or create in any way, what’s your favorite picture/favorite line/favorite etc. from something you created this year? Let me just slap down the entirety of KNIGHT ERRANT here.

What’s something you would like to create content for? It's less that there's something I wish I could create content for and more a way I wish I could contribute. I stopped working on my art skills when I was 18 and while I know I can technically go back and improve I don't have the space or time to dedicate to that (and there's a lot of bad memories tied to that time in my life and that activity specifically) but I kinda wish I had kept it up and then I could have contributed cool art to the obikin fandom.

What’s something you’re currently obsessed with? O B I K I N

What’s something you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year? My parent's visiting in September. It was nice to see them and introduce them to my girlfriend (and they liked her! she got the dad hug!) but they were so busy with friends and stuff that I never got one-on-one time with them. We didn't get to go on the cool hikes I had planned. It was just not what I wanted that visit to be.

What’s a hidden talent of yours? I'm a very good artist when it comes to landscapes with pencil and ink. Oh, and I can fold a fitted sheet.

Are you religious? Nah

What’s something you wish to have at this moment? Executive Function derp
