#i think this could count as as shitpost

Do you guys ever wonder if Obi-Wan had a moment where he just, I don't know, sat down and thought about the sheer number of Sith coming after him and only him specifically?

I know it's pretty much just a meme at this point in the SW fandom that Obi-Wan has something like a sixth sense or something for attracting literally almost every Dark Side user in the nearest vicinity.

But, like ... if you remember how Obi-Wan is potrayed as a Jedi Initiate and later on as a Padawan, it's kinda crazy/hilarious to think about how this super anxious and emotional kid, who constantly questioned whether he would ever measure up to the expectations placed on him (by himself and others), went on to not only become one of the most famous Jedi in the galaxy but also a sort of legend in his own right. And then straight up became so popular that even the Sith couldn't ignore him.

And this arguably all sort of started after he defeated Maul (for the first time), who was believed at the time to be the first Sith/Sith Lord to appear in over a millenium. And not only did he gain the title of Sith Killer, but he later joined the Jedi Council as one of their youngest members and then went on to play a pivotal role in the Clone Wars as High General.

Like ... he was already a pretty big deal in his own right before the Clone Wars even began. But once the war was in full swing, the man never fucking stopped.

Besides obvious plot and writing reasons, it does sort of make sense then for all these Sith and Dark Side users to constantly target Obi-Wan. I mean, what Sith wouldn't wanna have at least one go at the legendary "Sith Killer?" Why wouldn't they want to test their abilities against a famous Jedi, especially when their head honcho Sith Lord is all but begging them to do everything they can to just fucking end him?

But then, of course, because Obi-Wan is Obi-Wan and he's never one to back down from a challenge, I do find it very compelling and hilarious that his go to reaction when faced with a Sith/Dark Sider is to just taunt and drag them for filth. It's almost like he can't help himself. He's just so clearly unimpressed with them and it's really funny to see the Sith/Dark Sider he's facing get riled up over that. They take is so fucking personally. Every. Single. Time.

Like: "How fucking dare he not take me seriously! How dare he imply that I'm not his equal! How dare he criticize my fashion sense and my abilities in the force! How dare he try to lecture me on the better way to execute my attacks (even if that was actually sort of helpful advice, but I will die before I ever admit that)!"

The fucking gall of this guy, amiright fellas?

So to get back to my original point: Do you guys think Obi-Wan ever regretted his flirting/taunting tactics? Because clearly all those ever did was sort of encourage the Sith/Dark Siders he faced to become a little bit more obsessed with him. Maybe even a little enamored (not in a romantic sense, but no shame to those who like this interpretation). It's weird 'cause aside from Darth Sidious, most of the Sith Obi-Wan encounters seem to sort of respect him? If not on an individual level, at they very least they respect him as a worthy opponent and fighter.

(Small aside: I don't know if I'd go so far as to say Maul ever truly respected Obi-Wan. I'm sure on some level he must have because he literally made obsessing over Obi-Wan his entire personality. But I'd concede that maybe somewhere, deep deep DEEP down in his tiny little cockroach of a heart, Maul respected Obi-Wan enough to at least hate him to the point that even death could not stop him from continuing to wreak havoc on his life.)

And while, yes, this tactic is very amusing to watch and clearly a quite successful one ... I can't help but wonder if maybe it works a little too well. Lord knows Anakin/Darth Vader and Maul never got over Obi-Wan's little taunts. And Asajj seemed to all but look forward to trading witty remarks with him at every given opportunity, even when they were temporary allies. Dooku, of course, basically went full grandpa mode trying to reconnect with his grandson and then took full offense to said grandson not buying into his Sithy bullshit. Obi-Wan didn't even give Dooku a chance to finish submitting his request for adoption/Force custody before dragging his ass for failing Qui-Gon.

I'm almost willing to bet that if Obi-Wan had been alone in a room with Darth Sidious (master plan and true identity fully revealed), Sheev would just withered to an even wrinklier raisin after the absolute READ Obi-Wan would have given him.

Tldr: I just think the idea of a worn out Obi-Wan lying face down on the floor while regretting all his life choices--mainly the whole "I must throw my opponents off by flirting as much as possible. Yes, this is an actual tactic and not am excusable way I can be petty while not violating the Jedi Code"--is a fucking hilarious mental image.

Does anyone else fw the idea that Kai has never cried before and probably never will

The fact that Vox could be Santa Claus and actively chooses not to is the reason I can't fuck with him on a fundamental level

first kiss but also funny bird meme i saw

[overly-verbose]

Seriously, bro's a professional yapper lmfao

Tbf it's not completely unprovoked and he does just want to at least try explaining some things, if in a roundabout way, to make people more at ease (if not in the moment then overall) but, well-

sometimes it has the opposite effect lmao 😂

Also like, it's absolutely hilarious how I thought

'oh but this is just, like three scenes - how long could this be'

but all the freaking talking and stuff that everyone's doing is making Part 8 the second longest in the series 😂😂😂💀😂

(I fear for my poor brain, man - we've only just barely almost covered the Detention Center Arc

(and a little bit of the VS Mahito Arc Mahito Gets Curse PTSD Arc but I do wanna fill in some of the gaps between those)

and it's already gonna be over 40k words???

Why am I being so ambitious for my first ever proper writing project frrr *perishes a bit*

but I do hope to get it to the end - and beyond because there's no way I wouldn't constantly add to the post-main-plot shenanigans lol - however long that takes heh (just try to be patient with me pls I try my best here 😂) 👍)

i find characters that have distinct ways of talking whether it’s their behavior/dialect or inflection extremely interesting

like i can tell it’s them by the dialog or inflection alone even if it’s not their voice

like it’s the guy! it’s you! i can’t see you but you’re the guy!

dandelion: bisexual roll call, let’s go

dandelion (answering his own prompt, muttering and checking a piece of paper with charcoal): *present and accounted for…*

cahir: you can count me, as well

geralt: what is this

dandelion: i’m taking inventory of how many of us are bisexual

geralt: why

dandelion: just curious

geralt: alright. present.

dandelion: thank youuu. regis?

regis (uncharacteristically grave): i do not define myself by these terms. and, to be honest, it’s really a very interesting and complicated topic requiring discussion—

dandelion: —ohhhkay. milva?

milva: no.

dandelion: uhh… do you mean… no to…?

milva: [gets up and leaves]

I NEED HELP (DND Stuff, might be a dumb question idk-)

So genuine question for DND side of tumblr, but- I've been thinking recently...

And are the things next to the dragonborn colors in the player handbook, like, types of damage that are less effective, their magical girl power, or both?

Cuz I never really thought about that before and I have absolutely no idea-

i think it would be really funny if jeremy subconsciously hummed the "hoot pockets" jingle around mr reyes cause the squip kept singing it whenever he saw him

Khare never used to be quite so dim-witted. Her slower thought process and ability to learn has been heavily impacted as a result of her mutation but she's still canny enough to gauge a situation or look of a person and go "Yeah, that is somebody I probably shouldn't piss off."

[BBC Merlin writers room]

Writer: Ready?

Intern, holding a pen over blank notepad: Ready.

Writer: Okay. Keep up with me now. So the episode is "The Lady of the Lake." She's gonna be Merlin's girlfriend just like the myths.

Intern, taking notes: Nice, nice. What version of her name are we using since Nimueh and Vivienne are taken?

W: Freya. We're gonna call her Freya, after the Norse goddess of love and beauty and magic and war. Her name means "The Lady" and she rides in a chariot pulled by cats. Cool, right?

I: Uh, yeah, cool, cool, nice parallel to Merlin with the goddess thing, I like it-

W: And we're gonna curse her. Weird-ass pointless curse that turns her into this giant winged panther every night and kills people for no fucking reason at all. And we're gonna name the thing she turns into after an Egyptian cat goddess of medicine and fertility and healing, because that makes total sense, right?

I: Wh- Um-

W: And then we're gonna kill her.

I: wat

W: Yeah, Arthur's gonna stab her, and she's going to die in Merlin's arms, and he's going to send her body out into the magic lake, get it? And we're never gonna mention her again except this one 30-second scene where she gets to FaceTime Merlin through a puddle, and like, these two times when her arm comes out of the Lake to take Excalibur. But that's it. Got all that down?

I: But-

W: Good! Cut, print, check the gate, moving on.

I: ............whatthefuckjusthappened?

yeah uh, bbc writers, do you accept some tweaks i have to this episode's plot? i'll hand all of it to the intern and see how they like it if that will lead to your approval!
