Some people, he thought, are drawn to the light as surely as flowers that bend toward a sun.

My second contribution to the @obikinbb! Unfortunately, my author had to drop out so there is no fic to accompany the artwork, but thank you to the mods for organizing such a fun event!

To give the art a little context, Obi-Wan is a lonely lighthouse keeper who gets stormed in with his grocery delivery guy, Anakin.

I never actually watched tcw but I'm pretty familiar with the plot and this never fails to crack me up

No new art from me as I'm um. In the bowels of grief. However here is an artwork you may have seen in @codywanfirstkissbingo promo! There is only one day left to sign up for the bingo so make sure you do so before the window closes.

This artwork was inspired by this textpost I made and discussion with my fellow bingo mods. Anyhow, enough chitchat from me. The speedpaint is below the cut if you're interested

Sometimes...I just feel like drawing something really stupid

Cody, gazing lovingly at Obi-wan: He could kill me and I'd thank him Wolffe, who's heard this for the millionth time: I'd thank him too

Okay but imagine this happening to MULTIPLE people. MULTIPLE clones read a bit about the and had the same "what are the odds I get assigned to their battalion thought" and then WAS.

There's an Aayla in Aayla Secura's battalion who thought it was a really pretty name and decided to keep it.

There's a Skywalker in the 501st cause the kid got up to some crazy cool stuff.

Shaak meets a Shaak who's assigned to guard Kamino and smiles about it for the rest of the week.

There is in fact a Quinlan in the Corrie Guard and there's a running joke that Quin assigned himself as their unofficial general because of him.

Depa's battalion has a Depa among the pilots.

There are no less than THREE Mace's in Windu's battalion. One's names after him, one likes old weaponry, and one was part of a batch doing spice names and wanted to be named Nutmeg but his batchmate beat him to it and that was the closest thing.

There's so many of them that it can't possibly be a coincidence but no one will own up to it so there are army-wide bets whether it's a genuinely a giant coincidence (not popular, as all troopers learned "3 times is enemy action" in their cradles), a mix of coincidence and deliberate action, entirely deliberate action, or the Force's sense of humor at work.

I'm laughing about the possibility that there's at least one clone who read about the great jedi generals and was like "well, the probability that I will get assigned to General Kenobi is pretty low, so fuck it I'm Obi-Wan now" and the Kaminoans then assign them to the 212th and the clone is basically dying inside because clone trooper Obi-Wan has to face General Obi-Wan Kenobi now

Obi-Wan is delighted

State's Evidence

“So,” Qui-Gon Jinn said, with a disarming smile. “Viceroy. I’d ask you to sit, but it’s your table.”

“Thank you,” Nute Gunray said, somewhat nervously. “I… yes.”

“Is something wrong?” Obi-Wan asked.

“No,” Nute replied, quickly. “I wanted to… yes.”

He adjusted his clothes, needlessly.

“Now, Viceroy,” Qui-Gon went on. “If you’d like to state your opening position on the negotiations?”

“We object in the strongest possible terms to proposition 31-814D,” Nute said, seeming to recover his aplomb slightly. “The Free Trade Zones should not be liable to taxation – that is why they are called Free Trade Zones.”

“That’s not actually the reason,” Obi-Wan supplied. “The ‘free’ term refers to the fact that there are no differential tariffs applied. A five percent tax on all profits garnered within a Free Trade Zone, for example, would not violate the principle of the Free Trade Zone.”

He smiled. “Otherwise, after all, the term ‘free’ could equally be taken to mean that all trade in the Free Trade Zones should be carried at cost – or for no charge at all.”

Nute and Rune both winced.

“However,” Obi-Wan went on. “It would presumably be a reasonable alternative resolution for the Free Trade Zones to be confirmed as tax-free… for all carriers. There have been alarming reports of non-Trade-Federation-affiliated trade carriers facing heavy tariffs, meaning that there is a general sense that the Free Trade Zones are only free for the Trade Federation and their corporate partners… which is what has led to the proposition, as it’s seen as restoring fairness.”

Obi-Wan shrugged. “I’m sure that, between these factors, we can find out a resolution fair to all parties.”

“What I’m curious about, though, is why you’re blockading Naboo,” Qui-Gon went on, with a smile for Obi-Wan. “I’m aware that Senator Palpatine of Naboo is a prominent supporter of the legislation, but he’s hardly the only one, and his constituents are hardly likely to punish him for an anti-Trade-Federation position if the Trade Federation has just ruined their name in the Chommell Sector.”

Nute frowned.

“I hadn’t thought of that,” he admitted, then paused.

A frown creased his brow, then he put his hands on the table.

“It’s too much,” he said. “The only thing I can do is back down.”

“From the blockade?” Obi-Wan asked, curiously.

“From the plan,” Nute said. “The… the plan was to invade Naboo! To raise pressure! But – but Darth Sidious didn’t warn us there would be Jedi Knights!”

His hands clenched and unclenched. “I couldn’t do it with you on board, and – and to kill Jedi? Even if it could be done, it would be a disaster! The Jedi have lasted a thousand years as the guardians of peace and I know I’m not the first to think about trying to-”

He broke off, and the two Jedi exchanged glances.

“You were planning with someone called Darth Sidious?” Qui-Gon asked, carefully. “You’re sure of that?”

“Yes,” Nute confirmed. “He said he was a Sith…”

“We have recordings of our last few conversations,” Rune added. “And his com codes… I’m fairly sure he’s closely associated with the Senate, he said that by the time our private army had to be used then using it would be legal.”

Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon exchanged glances.

“...com codes?” Qui-Gon repeated.

“I wonder where this is going,” Obi-Wan said.

Then he glanced at Nute and Rune. “Thank you both for coming forwards with this information… it’s certainly going to be better for you than if you hadn’t, though the exact details are going to depend on the specifics…”

Palpatine tapped his foot on the floor of the Naboo senate box as a banal debate about procedure continued, endlessly.

When was that delegation going to reach Naboo? He needed to push events to the next critical juncture – if he was going to become Chancellor, then it wasn’t enough to be just one of a number of anti-Trade-Federation voices. He needed Naboo to be a martyr that would push him into the top seat.

Worse, there had been a strange feeling in the Force recently. It might just mean that Maul was already planning to kill him… the young Sith was a blunt instrument, really, but a useful one, and it would take Palpatine years to replace him.

Unless he could properly turn Dooku, that was. There was real possibility there.

His comlink chirped, and Palpatine glanced down at it.

A call from Nute. Of course.

He refused the call, then a moment later the comlink began chirping again.

“Is something wrong?” asked the Senator on the next pod over.

“Probably not, but I’d better check,” Palpatine replied, making sure to set the comlink to voice only before answering.

“I am busy,” he hissed.

There was a moment of silence, and Palpatine frowned at the comlink before putting it to his ear.

It sounded very faintly like someone had just said ‘now’.

“THIS COMLINK BELONGS TO A SIIIIIIIIITH!” suddenly exploded out of the speaker, loud enough to echo off the far walls, instantly silencing the debate and drawing every eye. Palpatine flinched, the comlink clattering to the floor of the box, and it kept wailing. “HIS NAME’S DARTH SIDIOUS AND HE ENCOURAGED THE TRADE FEDERATION BLOCKADE! HE MIGHT BE A SENATOR OR AN AIDE BUT THE JEDI SHOULD ARREST HIM EITHER-”

Palpatine finally managed to stamp on the comlink, smashing it to pieces with a snarl on his face, then looked up.

Every single eye in the Senate was fixed on him.

“...prank call?” he tried, but even to him it didn’t sound convincing.

[unspuncreature]

“I shouldn’t. But I - I want -”

“What do you want?”

“Something I can’t have.”

“You can have it. Anything you want: I would give it to you.”

Mace has No Sympathy for Qui-Gon's alleged troubles

when Qui-Gon publicly dropped Obi-Wan like a hot potato in favor of throwing his full weight into his bid to train Anakin, recently-Knighted Quinlan Vos decided that he had the opportunity to be the funniest motherfucker imaginable (and earn both his friend's eternal debt and ire in one move):

he claimed Obi-Wan Kenobi as his first Padawan

Obi-Wan, while definitely pissed with his friend's 'parenting,' quickly gets behind the idea of using this to spite Qui-Gon as much as possible

the Vos-Kenobi pair immediately set out to break every single one of Jinn's records as pettily as possible, and even managed to earn Quinlan the title of 'youngest Master' when Obi-Wan was Knighted only a few months later when the Council realized what was going on and tried to cut them off by just Knighting Kenobi already
