What are your favorite Obi-Wan ships and what do you like about their dynamics? 😊

Oh I like this ask 🤩. Thanks, anon!

Let's start with, I ship Obi-Wan with any man who tried to kill him at least once and is younger than him *snort*. The fact that I can summarize my Kenobi shipping tendencies like that always makes me laugh. And yes, Cody counts, because chip or no chip, he did try to kill Obi-Wan once 😉. And yes, I did, in fact, just use a winking emoji and "kill" in the same sentence.

Out of all these my three favourite ships are Obikin, Obimaul and Codywan. Details under the cut.

Obikin - I mean if I really wanted to go into what I love about their dynamics I'd have to write a thesis about it, negl. I'm gonna focus on what I really like about their dynamics... The age difference, man. It always gets to me for some reason. The fact that they're at different stages of life and yet manage to develop this deep, meaningful, or--as our Obikin God Strover has put it--more-intimate-than-lovers connection is something that is very attractive to me at this almost cellular level. Like, when I read a well-written fic about them I feel it in my bloodcells, I swear. Another thing is how their understanding of life and love differs so completely because of their vastly different life experiences - the idea that with fic we are able to bridge that gap and make them find common ground and change the fate of the galaxy at the same time... *sigh*. Their love story in canon (I'm just quoting Deborah Chow, ok), is so very tragic. I'm a romantic at hear and so I will always crave a good fix-it, or alternate chain of events of a tragic love story. But tragic or not, the differences in their personalities are also amazing for amusement purposes hence why they're my first choice for Modern AUs. They are so 3D and there are so many facets to them that you can basically thrust them into any situation and make it work. And yes, all this is just scraping the tip of the iceberg for me, maybe one day I will write a thesis 😉.

Obimaul - This one is so obvious 😀. It's canon that Maul is absolutely obsessed with Obi-Wan. He lived through being bisected just to get revenge, lol. It's such a good base for fics, is it not? Is it NOT? Seriously though, I have this very specific Obimaul scenario that I love above all others and that's broken man Obi-Wan on Tattooine having lost everything, and Maul still thirsty for revenge finding him and then realizing that, hey a) killing this husk of a man is no longer satisfying, b) we're both kinda broken, c) we both hate Darth Sidious above everything else. I've read so many great fics about Hermitwan and Maul teaming up to either kill Sidious or just somehow make it till the end of their sad lives with just a little bit less of loneliness... I love it. They make for some really great angst. And honestly it's so easy to twist Maul's obsession based in hate into obsession based in love, those two feelings have quite a lot in common after all. Also, I really have to commend fic writers for coming up with creative solutions to Maul's canonic lack of dick. I think Dathomirian Magick Dick was my favourite so far 😆.

Codywan - Again, Codywan is ultimately tragic. The fact that Cody is a clone with a chip in his brain programmed to kill the man he loves... I mean, doesn't get more tragic than that, right? And also, even if they do manage to deal with the chip problem, the aging-twice-as-fast problem still persists. And you know, the fact that the majority of the galaxy doesn't even recognize Cody as a sentient being. This ship is just problem stacked on a problem stacked on yet another problem. You know, the fact that Obi-Wan is Cody's commanding officer is also kind of hard to ignore. Which is why I am so drawn to them! For me if there isn't a problem there isn't a ship 😉. I think what I love about their dynamic is their at first glance similar but after a deeper dive completely different personalities, and the fact that with Codywan it's Cody that gets to be fed up with Obi-Wan's antics for one, and not the other way round (with Obikin it's always the other way round). What I really love about Codywan fics is that authors usually focus on completely different facets of Obi-Wan's personality than they do with all the other ships. Really, it just makes me love Obi-Wan more. I always loved Obi-Wan as a character, but reading a couple of Codywans just really drove it home for me.

I hope this answers your question, anon! Thanks for asking ❤️, I simply loooove talking about my ships.

So I was tagged by @missypup to share my top 5 favorite things I've written. And welp. Not only have I posted like less than five things on ao3, I also don't write often. (If you're reading this Missy, I hate you.) Not to mention most of the things I've written don't even have titles??? But I suppose I will do my best.

5.) Awarding the Royals and Accolading the Blood thirsty (ongoing, hiatus but probably discontinued, Kylux, Star wars)

The reason this one is number 5 for me is because its the first time I really sat down and started pumping out chapters. It's very loosely an au mix of The Princess Diaries and The Princess and the frog. It kinda got pushed to the side because covid hit and I became too tired to do anything with it because essential workers, but I'm proud that I got as far as I did with it.

4.) To Remember Me By [working title] (unpublished, Zukka, ATLA)

I have had countless feelings about Zukka from ATLA and for a while it's what kept me going. I wrote a lot of little short things I don't remember writing and this is one of them but it's really cute in my opinion. Basically Zuko and Sokka just started dating after years of pining but Sokka has to leave for a long time so Zuko is really trying to find something nice to get for Sokka so he remembers him. I never finished it (a common theme that's going to keep occuring) and its just a short little thing, but it's just really sweet to me.

3.) Finding Our Truth [working title] (unpublished, Garashir, Star Trek Deep Space Nine)

It took me a long time to come up with ideas for writing Garashir but I definitely wanted to put something down, if only for myself. I'm a sucker for reading these two dance around each other's lies and so I finally decided I wanted to see how the spy would react to finding out the doctor's biggest lie. It's very much angst, with eventual comfort because I think those two eventually deserve to be happy together. Sadly this one is also unfinished and it's also looking to be relatively short.

2.) A Small Piece of a Bigger Picture [working title] (unpublished, Codywan, Star Wars)

Okay but this is the first thing I written in quite some time where it could actually be considered complete. I could post it as a little short story where it is, but I really want to add more onto it. Hence the title. I just really wanted to sit down and explore how I think Cody might've been effected by the Rako Hardeen situation and finding out that Obi-Wan was still alive. I kinda have a thing for angst I guess? I feel kinda excited about this one thanks to that one person that tagged me, the response I got to it was...unlike any response I've ever received to something I've written. So this one I actually really hope to post some day.

1.) Untitled [there's no title yet] (in progress/unpublished, OCxOC, original work)

It was easy to pick this as my number one because it's the first time I've ever creates my own characters, done my own world building, and come up with a pretty solid plot. I write bits and pieces of it every once I a while when I really feel inspired. But I feel like this one is very fun. It was described to me as lovers to enemies to friends to lovers. And that's only the side plot 😆 There's something special about these characters to me and I definitely hope that someday I'll finish it because it's an exciting idea.

Thank you so much for tagging me 🙄 This was actually a challenge for me because I have so little published and even less finished. I don't know who to tag (don't exactly know anyone who writes a lot) so it's free for whoever would like to participate!! All are welcome.
