#he is SO overlooked CONSTANTLY and it makes me SO upset. like. gosh he is such an interesting character and this angst isn't like...

[that-was-anticlimactic]

can we just talk about how kenji has one of the Most tragic abilities in bungou stray dogs??? like. the more i think about it, the more heartbreaking it is.

he's fourteen years old and has an ability people would die/kill for. in s3, chuuya called kenji the ada's "trump card", so it's safe to assume the rest of the port mafia thinks the same way. he is immune to literal bullets, to being whacked in the head by hard metal or pretty much anything, he can easily lift cars above his head as if they were nothing,,,

but only if he's hungry.

if you ignore that last bit, kenji has one of the best powers in the show. and like he still does, but my God. he's fourteen years old. he doesn't think his ability is all that impressive. he doesn't see the issues.

since he has a job, he probably doesn't Really eat lunch, and if he does, it's snacks. but also his job is a part of the armed detective agency. therefore, things happen all the time. who knows how long cases will run, who knows when someone will try to destroy yokohama or the agency or whatever. there's been many times when it's been clear that they've had to work into the night. then we have to ask: does kenji eat dinner? no. probably not. and if he does, he probably just eats a piece of fruit or something small. that way, he doesn't lose his ability. he is the agency's trump card, after all. and he knows how important his power is. i mean, that's one of the reasons he joined ranpo and the others when they went against fukuzawa's orders in s3. it's not explicitly stated, but i'd argue that it's implied. anyways. does kenji eat breakfast? well, i don't think so. why? he sleeps when he eats. why sleep so soon after he just woke up? he has to go to work, anyways. so he can't fall asleep.

so, we've basically established that kenji probably has an extremely unhealthy eating schedule due to his ability. but also,,, what about his sleeping schedule? what kind of relationship does he have with sleep? so, let's say he eats a full meal three times a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. let's say how long he sleeps depends on how much he ate... so let's say that a small snack is no sleep since it's barely anything, just maybe makes him a little physically weaker. and a normal meal is at least an hour. that's at least three hours of sporadic sleep during the day - one of them shortly after he wakes up. but you know what makes that even sadder? what if kenji doesn't sleep at night because of his ability. or, sleep consistently or well? we can assume the agency actually really wants kenji to eat, even if he falls asleep, so on days when he can't get away with not really eating, he sleeps during the day for an unspecified amount of time. his sleep schedule would get so thrown off. also, he was raised on a farm, so we can assume he wakes up really early anyways. maybe early enough to say that there isn't any reason to sleep because he would wake up soon normally anyways.

and... what if kenji can't sleep without eating? what if kenji has to eat to sleep? maybe it wasn't that way when he was younger, but the older he got, the more his body grew to rely on his ability's exception. like... that's just... really sad. this kid is fourteen.

and think about it. the agency is best friends because they are. they'd probably like to go out to lunch or dinner together. i bet half the time at least, kenji wouldn't eat. why? because he'd fall asleep. wouldn't want to ruin the fun. because then they'd have to watch their volume around him or try to wake him up (and i hc that it's really hard to wake him up for like... the first ten minutes after a meal at least - it gets easier the longer he's been asleep or the less he eats). and what if they can't wake him up? then someone would have to carry him back and that's so kind of them but, well, they didn't have to and now kenji feels like a liability or a burden. like he ruined all the fun.

and he works with the armed detective agency. they've got a lot of enemies. he is the trump card. the physically strongest on the team. also the most naive and, objectively, the kindest. oh and one of the two youngest. can you imagine how vulnerable he is when he sleeps? i would imagine the agency wouldn't want him to eat by himself in public for, you know, safety reasons. and that even includes the cafe downstairs. who knows what could happen if kenji fell asleep on his own? and that's probably why he went to eat with atsushi in s1 ep11: he was with atsushi so he could eat out. one of those rare chances. and if an enemy did get to him while he was asleep, he'd be pretty easy to keep out of it: just keep forcing him to eat. shove food in his mouth, force him to swallow. and there you are: you have the armed detective agency's trump card. and kenji knows this.

and the sad thing is? kenji probably doesn't even realize he's having problems. he probably thinks this is normal. something he just has to deal with - and i don't say that in a negative or self-loathing kind of way. a genuine "it's always been like this; i know nothing else" kind of way. he wants to help people: that's why he came to the agency. he couldn't handle not being able to help everyone back home. he needs to be useful, to help. he grew up on a farm: he values hard work a lot - that much is obvious. he feels like he can't help if he eats consistently. he's probably (albeit subconsciously, unknowingly) scared of what would happen if he did eat and sleep consistently. that means he's not useful, right? that means someone will get hurt because of him. he'd rather starve than someone else get hurt. he was given this ability, he has to use it to help people.

tldr: kenji's ability is so interesting and underutilized in the the manga/anime and in the fandom and is so overlooked in angst potential. his ability most likely has ruined his eating and sleeping schedule to the point where he doesn't know anything different and genuinely thinks it's healthy because it's what he's always done, it's what he was blessed with, right? kenji deserves more love in canon and by the fandom <3

What would the ro's be like in a zombie au?

whyyyyy anon whyyy. I'm actually gonna write this in like.. slightly different terms, you'll see. any time I even briefly think of a zombie au I'm just like

I WANNA WRITE IT SO BADDD

i don't even allow myself to entertain it for very long because getting into that would be the worst thing ever for my productivity with the alpha omg 😂😂 so I'll put like the ideas that pop into my head for writing a zombie au, to work some of that creative frustration out 😆

so in this very general, absolutely noncommittal idea of mine, the main cast are older and the setting is in and around a civilian settlement led by the Emersons.

and as a refresher, i like my zombie aus to have fast zombies and fast infections ^ ^ 28 Days Later/Train to Busan style babyyyy, we the Sprinting Dead up in this bitch 😆

= = =

Gabe is, predictably, looking for what's left of his family. Following rumors of safe havens and bunkers and such. Starts the story as someone who tries to be diplomatic, if not outright pacifist, but as times get tougher and resources dwindle, he'd become one of the most cutthroat motherfuckers in the wasteland. Low-key though, low-key. People won't trust you if they know you’re capable of throwing them to a horde for strategic reasons. Like if Rick turned into Shane (for those of us familiar with early Walking Dead--idk did that happen eventually? i gave up before we even met Negan lol). The end justifies the means :) Damn, I can legit see Gabe going full evil in a zombie au omg 😂😂 i want to write it so fucking bad

Preferred weapon for zed encounters: rifle

Preferred weapon for human encounters: handgun

Faith in humanity: fucking zero

Zombie kill count: plenty; the type to kill every zombie he has spare ammo and time for

Human kill policy: When it benefits him or the people he’s looking after

Survival rating: B+; he can make it out of some pretty dire situations through sheer will to live and ruthlessness

- - -

Kile has arrived--clearly, this is the timeline they belong in. They start their journey with Gabe (and their doggo) and stick to him like glue, even reluctantly so when Gabe eventually has them join the settlement. This can only go one way, though: Kile's just too much of a wildcard for the group and hates being told what to do. (Especially now that society has fallen, wtf) They'd make their exit alone and unannounced aside from a brief head’s up to Gabe. It's slightly bittersweet, but also? They get to loot and hunt and sneak around and kill fucking zombies, all by themself. Kile is a loner, a hiker, and a hunter to begin with so they do beyond fine on their own. However, once the inevitable violent human threat comes for the settlement, Gabe is sent out to convince Kile to come out of isolation, just this once please, to be the camp’s super soldier help defend the camp.

Zed weapon: p much anything they can get their hands on, ranged or melee, blunt or sharp, w/e; improvised weapons

Human weapon: hunting knife

Faith in humanity: never had any to begin with

Zombie kill count: lol infinite?? any zed they come across is double-dead if they have the time for it

Human kill policy: at Gabe’s direction or when provoked enough/threatened

Survival rating: A-; they trust no one, live in isolation, and prioritize survival above all else. only reason it’s not higher is they would risk their life for Gabe or their furbaby and also... their own Rambo-esque antics def attracts the occasional horde lmao

Jack... this poor boy, he doesn't deserve a zombie au 😂 He's one of those people that first believes zombies are just sick people, too squeamish to keep up with TV news coverage at the onset and too upset to consider anything else. He'd hunker down at home, staying holed up even while his neighbors evacuated, and probably be discovered while the main group is looting the same place as him. When people try to tell him the real state of the world, he'd be in denial until he absolutely couldn't be anymore. idk, probably after Kile shooting a bunch of non-lethal holes thru a zombie to make a point (attracting more in the process lol).

He’d almost immediately join the medical team at the settlement and as word spreads about how easy he is to talk to, he quickly becomes the literal on-site therapist. It's a role he embraces but... idk if it's an emotional burden he can bear. He's very emotionally resilient! But he ain't a professional lol imagine a whole settlement of traumatized zombie survivors seeking you out for counseling, yikes. He also can't say no to a person in need, so instead he quietly spirals into a very private depression while continuing to help others!!

Zed weapon: Oh gosh, do I really have to?

Human weapon: ...Kindness?

Faith in humanity: Unrealistically high

Zombie kill count: Single digit

Human kill policy: Not ever, unless completely unavoidable and to defend the defenseless

Survival rating: C...? idk, that feels generous. D+. To be protected at all costs!!

- - -

Jessie also had the initial reaction of hoping zombies could be saved, but she woke up from that dream swiftly. The science-minded person that she is, esp with her interest in biology, leaves her determined to find anybody who's got the intellect, expertise, and resources to start doing actual work toward a treatment, cure, vaccine—anything. Nothing would get her to finally unabashedly embrace her love of science (and innate leadership skills!!) faster than a zombie apocalypse! In fact, it’s thanks to her that the Emerson settlement’s got a small but growing team of scientists doing as much research as humanly possible to best educate the others on the outbreak and zombie behavior. Def no zombie experimentation going on though lol. ...Not yet, at least.

Zed weapon: rifle

Human weapon: rifle

Faith in humanity: High! We’ll find a solution! Don’t give up hope!

Zombie kill count: Double digits, but less than 30

Human kill policy: Only in unavoidable self-defense or defense of others

Survival rating: B! She has experience with ranged weapons, farming and gardening skills, first aid, camping experience, and a can-do attitude with a healthy dose of realism!

- - -

Rain remains cargo as I said in the last post about this 😆 They'd be very good for keeping clothes repaired and making useful modifications in the settlement, but their life up to this point has been very sheltered and privileged. We're talking somebody with a chauffeur and a personal chef before the outbreak! They would contribute to quality of life and homemaking efforts more than anything—an overlooked aspect of these scenarios tbh! After as many months of dragging their feet as possible and being nigh impossible to track down when you need them, they eventually become involved in meal planning and even help out with medical stuff if they're asked.

Zed weapon: how do you reload this thing again?

Human weapon: switchblade or other concealable sharp-pointy

Faith in humanity: Very low

Zombie kill count: 0! Can you believe it!

Human kill policy: Well if it’s you or me, of course I’m choosing me.

Survival rating: C. Being so tiny helps them find good hiding spots and their self-preservation is high enough to keep them from unnecessary risk-taking. Plus they're very stealthy! Self-defense is a major issue though, so hiding is always their best option.

Rupan/Rohan scouts for and leads scavenging missions and is Curt's right hand on the recruitment team. The two of them together are the perfect combo of diplomacy, debate, and deception--although R is more honorable about the last one and will only deceive for strategic reasons. When they aren’t looting and recruiting, they’re doing peacekeeping inside the settlement. Most social disputes end up getting brought to them for mediation and they’re pretty dang good at making and enforcing calls. One day they’ll wake up to realize they’ve basically become a sheriff and feel the need to puke their guts up and do something, anything, to reassure themself they’re still punk 😂

Zed weapon: SMG

Human weapon: shotgun

Faith in humanity: Believes in fundamental goodness but knows better than to trust first impressions

Zombie kill count: decent, more than 40; you won’t catch them having a field day tho, they’re trying to gtfo of most zed situations

Human kill policy: Violent threats have to be taken out. And they aren’t, at all, immune to a revenge rampage either...

Survival rating: B-. Can handle themself both with humans and zeds but is vulnerable to hostage situations and truly difficult sentimental/interpersonal decisions!

- - -

Vivian/Vincent manages inventory and stock and they run it so efficiently it’s scary! They're the perfect pick: a hawk-eyed tyrant and tattletale 😂 Despite constantly butting heads with just about everyone on every imaginable thing, they quickly become an important part of the inner circle of decision-makers for the settlement at large. Terrible at stealth, jumpy, and squeamish at the sight of blood and gore, they literally never go on missions unless they're 100% needed for their expertise on a supply run. (They would deny all of these shortcomings are that big a problem, meanwhile R is definitely acting as their bodyguard lol.) When they do tag along, they're prone to becoming the damsel in distress. Seriously, it happens near every fucking time. It's like they just attract only the most improbable and perilous zombie attacks and hostage situations 😆

Zed weapon: shotgun

Human weapon: handgun

Faith in humanity: Medium; seeing people work together at the settlement helps restore it a bit

Zombie kill count: Double digits, under 25

Human kill policy: Violent threats have to be taken out. Well, no, not by me! Get one of the ruffians to do it!

Survival rating: C-. They’d be higher if they weren’t such natural zombie bait.

Heidi is running the settlement, well-organized to the degree of actually managing to bring bureaucracy to a post-zombie apocalypse settlement 😂 People are free to come and go, but getting in if you don't live there requires trading something of value (fuel, med supplies, food, etc), temporary surrender and registry of firearms and explosives, and you gotta GTFO at the time and date specified upon entry! You can stay long-term if you contribute to the community in a tangible way—and each person admitted is approved by Heidi personally. Yes, every individual. No, she has no free time. And she is not known to be lenient with rule breakers—you want rule bending, you’ll have to go to Curt for that. People kind of hate her, but it can't be denied that she runs a tight ship. She kind of throws herself into the work to avoid the harsher reality at large and hasn't left the settlement in a long time. She's out of touch with how bad things have gotten in the wastes, but she knows better than to take reports at anything less than face value--even when she's skeptical.

Zed weapon: rifle

Human weapon: handgun; dagger

Faith in humanity: Medium. It fluctuates, honestly

Zombie kill count: Double digits, less than 20

Human kill policy: Violent threats must be taken out if they can’t be reasoned with. Spare those who surrender, eradicate those who don't, keep an eye on the newbies. Not tryin’ to nurse any vendettas around here lol

Survival rating: B. She's good with a firearm, masterful at persuasion, and savvy enough to calculate risks appropriately. Also far tougher than her prim exterior and demeanor suggests!

Curt leads the recruitment and reconnaissance teams! When a new person or group shows up in the area, Curt's the one who stalks watches them, decides if they're worth approaching, and if they should be approached with an invitation, a simple acknowledgment/announcement of their presence, or an outright armed warning to leave the area. He also keeps tabs on morale and general confidence inside the settlement, alongside R. When he isn’t leading those efforts, though, he’s flirting with settlers and squirreling his way out of manual labor and other chores. He’s also secretly growing weed at his place--don’t tell Heidi or Vi ‘cause they’ll wanna yell at him and ration it UGH.

Zed weapon: SMG, explosives

Human weapon: handgun, dagger

Faith in humanity: Pft, sorry, what now?

Zombie kill count: ...way more than you’d expect

Human kill policy: I don’t start confrontations, but I sure as fuck end them.

Survival rating: A! He’s good at playing hapless idiot when it suits him to be underestimated, good with firearms, and capable of being ruthless and decisive in life or death situations! Plus he has no qualms about ditching the settlement if he decides it’s not working out for him. Just don’t tell Heidi lol

Hoseok Scenario: You realize you like him after you think he’s moved on

You knew Hoseok liked you. It was obvious to you and everyone else around the two of you. He flirted with you incessantly, constantly was hugging or touching some part of you. Whether it just be brushing your hands together when you walked or making sure your legs were touching when you sat on the couch together. But the problem was you didn’t think you were a good match for each other. Hoseok was energetic, you were a home body. He saw the best in everyone, you were a pessimist. He was amazing and kind in every way and you didn’t understand why he liked you at all. So you thought it best to just overlook his flirting and feelings for you and pretend like you didn’t realize he liked you. You never flirted back, never initiated anything except hugs as you were afraid to lead him on. You didn’t want to break the poor man’s heart after how nice he had been to you. He was there for you when no one else was and you could confidently say he was your best friend. And that’s all you wanted to be. At least at the start.

It became harder to ignore your feelings as time went on. Hugs turned into embraces, gentle brushes turned into hand holding. Legs touching turning into him insisting you sit on his lap and him wrapping his arms around you. You knew things needed to stop before they escalated further. You stopped giving in, shying away from his affections instead. Pretty soon the extra hugs and cuddling stopped completely and you found that you missed him. You were kicking yourself for not just giving him a chance. He was so sweet to you, he literally would have been the perfect boyfriend to you. But it seemed he got tired of you rejecting him so he just gave up. You showed up at the dorm Friday night for you weekly hangout with the boys when you noticed Hoseok was missing.

“Hey Jimin, where did Hobi go?”

“He’s out on a date! She was really cute I hope things go well for him.” Your face immediately falls at his words, realizing you may have missed your chance. 

“Y/n what’s wrong?”

“Nothing, Jimin. Don’t worry about it. I’m just an idiot is all. I’m not feeling too well actually so I think I am just going to head home.” You turn around to head out the door when you feel Jimin’s hands on your shoulder tugging you back and spinning you around. He sees the fresh tears slipping out of your eyes. 

“Oh.. did you actually like Hobi?” You nod your head and squeeze your eyes shut willing the tears to stop. “Then why didn’t you say anything to him you idiot!” You feel him flick your forehead and let out a surprised yelp and rub the mark that is surely going to form on your forehead.

“What the hell was that for Jimin?”

“Because Hobi has been flirting with you for months! And you liked him back but you made my friend so upset thinking he didn’t have a chance with you so I told him to try and move on!” 

“I am well aware that he has been flirting with me but we aren’t a good match. He’s literally the opposite of me why on earth would we be good for each other?”

“Because you both balance each other out. Haven’t you heard that age old saying opposites attract?”

“Yeah but it’s complete bullshit.” 

“It is not you pessimist just stop it. What do you have to lose by just giving him a chance?”

“Umm.. a lot of things. Our friendship for one? If we don’t work out then it’s going to be awkward to be around each other and I won’t see you guys again..”

“You really think Hobi is that type of person? He would still want you in his life, in all of our lives if things didn’t work out. That’s how much he cares about you.”

You’re about to protest further when the front door swings open. Hoseok has his back turned to you, unaware that you are there.

“Well that was a freaking disaster. All I could think about was how I wish it was y/n I was out with and not her. She was cute and everything but, she’s just not her.” He turns around finally and when he sees you standing in the living room his jaw drops almost to the floor.

“Y/n! What are you doing here?!”

“It’s Friday Hobi..”

“Oh my gosh I completely forgot about our hangout I am so sorry.” 

“It’s okay. Can we talk for a minute?” Jimin walks out of the room but not before he leans in and quietly speaks to you.

“Just give him a chance, that’s all I am asking.”

As he walks out Hoseok gestures for you two to sit on the couch. He sits away from you but you scoot closer to him, sitting like you used to with your knees brushing against each other.

“I’m sorry. I knew you liked me, I just didn’t think we would be a good match for each other so I pushed you away. But when Jimin told me you went on a date today I realized how bad it scared me thinking that I may have missed my chance with you.. Am I too late?” You see his signature smile break out onto his face as he tugs you into a tight hug.

“You’re not. I would have waited as long as it took for you. So you really want to give this a try?” He pulls away and looks at you with so much affection and hope in his eyes.

“Yeah, I do.” You lean in and press a chaste kiss to his cheek and notice his cheek turning red from where your lips touched it. 

“So, you free tomorrow? Can I finally take you out on a date like I have been wanting to for months?”

“I would really like that.”

9. Star Wars

Explanation:

So watching the prequel movies, trainwreck though they are, Qui-Gon Jinn is just kinda there; most don’t really care about him other than he was the one who trained so Obi-Wan, especially kids. I know when I first watched them when I was like ten I didn’t really notice him except for how he affected my favorite characters.

When you watch TPM when you’re young, however, you also don’t really think much of the Council scene where Jinn vows to train Anakin besides confusion at why Obi-Wan wasn’t going to train him. As you get older, however, and rewatch that scene you can pick up the undertones and implications of what actually happened and react accordingly. When I watched that scene and realized that Jinn was essentially like ‘Oh well, I like Anakin better and you won’t let me have them both so. . . I guess Obi-Wan just has to move on now,’ I got so upset. That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but is still pretty accurate as far as the audience is aware.

This realization made me look deeper into Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan’s relationship, however, so I read TJA series and, suffice to say, was less than pleased with what I found. Jinn may seem like an okay, for the most part, guy in the movies, but he is such an a**hole in the books! Like oh my gosh, the man had serious issues and should not have been given care of a child. Granted, much of it may have been due to the trauma of his last Padawan, but that still doesn’t excuse the, quite frankly, awful way he treated both his first Padawan and Obi-Wan.

From the very start, Bandomeer, through Melida/Daan, his consideration of Bant, Tahl’s death, his constant undermining of the Unifying Force, all the way to Anakin and Obi-Wan’s recommendation for his trials, he did not act in a way befitting a caregiver or guardian. If Social Services existed in the Star Wars universe, they would have intervened, hell the Council should have intervened! He essentially repudiated Feemor and Obi-Wan because he had no use for them anymore and seemed to be of the train of thought ‘out of sight out of mind.’

And there are other, much more concerning hints at what their relationship was like in both the books and movies, such as when Obi-Wan APOLOGIZES for DISAGREEING with him. Like, for some reason, Obi-Wan felt it was necessary for him to ask forgiveness for a difference of opinion with a man who, for all intents and purposes, had just cast him aside for the shiny new toy (Anakin).

Also, Jinn’s obsession with Anakin pissed me off. Yes, Anakin was a prodigy and, with proper training, had the potential to become amazing. HOWEVER, he was VERY emotional and had a lot of anger, even more so than Obi-Wan when Jinn rejected him (repeatedly) for that EXACT THING!

Essentially, Jinn was a huge d**k and Obi-Wan’s apprenticeship much have been hell (even if he won’t admit it, even to himself). I also sincerely doubt that anyone knows the extent to which Kenobi’s life sucked, because, let’s be honest, he’s more the ‘pretend everything’s ok and maybe it will be one day’ rather than the ‘sharing is caring’ kind of guy.

Prompt:

There are two ways this can go:

1.

A time-travel fic where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan travel to the future during the Clone Wars and meet everyone. Everyone is so excited to maybe be able to change the past and also see what Qui-Gon was like and what Obi-Wan was like as a kid (because, again, Obi-Wan isn’t really the sharing type).

They are, therefore, shocked when Jinn acts very dismissive and cold towards Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan just. . . rolls with it. They start freaking out (212th, 501st, Anakin, Ahsoka, Council, etc) and try to step in or tell Obi-Wan that he doesn’t have to put up with it and Obi-Wan is just really confused and averse to it (because it’s always been that way and Jinn has done nothing wrong and he deserves whatever happens because he’s emotional and disobedient).

OR 2.

Just Jinn can time travel and he acts that way toward grown Obi-Wan and everyone is like ‘WTF WHY ARE YOU PUTTING UP WITH THIS’ and watch as one of the strongest people they know (someone who’s faved down countless enemies, Sith Lords, certain death, unspeakable torture and never faltered) crumble before their very eyes (by the man who raised him no less)!

A Scene I Desperately Want To See:

Basically after Obi-Wan does something incredible in battle (can be the older one or younger) and everyone is in awe Jinn comes up, in the middle of the camp/ship/whatever (essentially just in front of all his men and Anakin and Ahsoka), and starts tearing him down (not yelling, more like holier-than-thou nitpicking and degrading comments that he genuinely doesn’t see as wrong) and Obi-Wan goes from this strong, straight-backed, determined figure to a slumped, holding back tears, meak, accommodating/unassuming/trying to sink into the ground/hide in his robes figure and everyone is like WTF?!? and Obi-Wan just wants to leave and have everyone leave them alone because, even after everything, Jinn is/was still his Master and he knows better and Obi-Wan loves him (platonically).

Try to Address TJA stuff if you can:

-Bandomeer

-Melida/Daan

-How Obi-Wan thinks (and probably Qui-Gon who certainly didn’t dissuade the thought) that he was the one who was responsible for Tahl’s death

- How Jinn started considering Bant/giving her attention after Melida/Daan

-How Jinn constantly rebuked Obi-Wan’s gift in the Unifying Force and tried to make him something he wasn’t

And:

-His (essentially) repudiation of Obi-Wan in favor of Anakin

-Him caring about/being nicer to/praising/lavishing attention on Anakin over Obi-Wan and constantly down-playing/overlooking/degrading Obi-Wan and his accomplishments and using him as an example of what not to do and saying it was amazing Anakin turned out as well as he did with Obi-Wan for a Master

-Telling stories of all of Obi-Wan’s mistakes and all his failures in the past (to Obi-Wan and others)

Notes:

This is heavily influenced by a series entitled ‘The One He Wanted’ by I_Gave_You_Fair_Warning on AO3; I HIGHLY recommend you read it, it’s very very good.
