#obi-wan kenobi needs a hug

Obi-wan Kenobi, y'all...

Okay, so I ran out of PJO fics for now (gonna' wait a while before going back because writing is hard work and I understand that), and I got back into Star Wars. 

**Obi-wan Kenobi** folks!! 

Rereading the books and watching video essays and absorbing the different stuff about the dude…

I just like him. 

No “main character” energy really, he’s a support character, BUT BOY DOES HE DO THAT SUPPORTING!!!

Obi-wan never had the staggering potential that screamed out “Watch This One!” to the rest of the people, wasn’t much beyond “yeah, he’s okay” at almost everything…

That is, until he got attached to someone with Main Character Energy. 

*Then* it’s him just scrambling to keep up, scrambling to keep his head above water, or just scrambling to *keep his head at all* and the boy be like “man, it takes forever to Level Up around here” like he didn’t get thrown into life on Death March/No Save mode. 

There’s no easy run for him, because he got pitched into the Big Leagues before he scraped into Little League by fingernails and the skin of his teeth and nobody told him the game they were playing. 

I’m just… *hmm* (insert consternated flailing here)

He’s the Normal Dude that didn’t understand that he was allowed to bow out for a more peaceful lie. 

The smol boy didn’t know that while he was struggling to not drown and being In Crisis that the people around him weren’t drowning was because they had Plot Armor! He had to make his own freaking armor! 

“Man, everybody is a really great saber dualist, I have to make sure I can keep up.”

*(probably keeps a diary of every mistake and ends up mastering a whole Form of combat and excels in the ones that fill in all his gaps)*

“Man, I keep getting thrown around so much, I am so outclassed.”

*(takes so much punishment that should cripple everyone and then Walks Away from the encounter???)*

“Man, I’m so average in the Force, I gotta’ work on my skills in everything.”

*(OP’s the skills he has to Wild Extents- have you seen what he does with the “it be furry, it be Friend Shaped” ability?)*

I can’t with this character!!!

He’s what happens when a Normal Person gets thrown into the Main Storyline and Doesn’t Die because he has a lick of common sense. The situations keep getting more insane, to he Sense required isn’t at all Common anymore, but he’s still like “I’m literally the Worst here, look at these Amazing People around me!”

Every single time something Wild happens he looks at it like “I would never survive that.” and proceeds to overthink his way to the Solution “just in case” and Applies it to his life when he gets dragged into the next insane thing.

Obi-wan Kenobi worked his way into Main Character Status by accident!

see so many separate posts about Star Wars in which there’s this expose on this Person and how they reacted to a Situation and how it rolled out, and then there’s the ending of “But when Obi-wan hit same situation, he didn’t Do A Stupid.”

Literally HALF of my Star Wars pintrist board is this stuff!  *And I didn’t realize until I went to organize it recently!*

“Hmm, this is a lot of Obi-wan stuff…”

“Wait a minute… it’s all *quotes* from stuff.”

“Oh my gosh! He’s the Old Man in the profession that devours Young Men! Obi-wan is an Old Bastard! What the heck!”

(seriously though, look up the "Old Bastards" division in WWII, it’s insane and I will be using this lingo for the rest of forever)

Literally the biggest Dad Energy of the Order!

Nobody else can fix a thing? “Hey, send Kenobi, he can do it.”

“Hey, let’s put Kenobi on that mission, he can handle a gaggle of idiots.”

Obi-wan shows up like, “What am *I* supposed to do about this if somebody else couldn’t figure it out? I’m not Magic, I’m not Yoda!” and people are like, “Heck if I know! But you gotta’ help ‘cause we know you Got This!” (thumbs-up) :D

And Obi-wan just quietly dies inside and tries not to die for real and become an Inconvenience on top of probably not knowing what exactly he’s doing. But dammit, they asked, so he’s going to Help, come hell and high water, because honestly with his luck, they're both probably what’s just around the corner.

Is he the Best Professional at all of the things he does?

No!

But he’s good enough at enough stuff, if he doesn’t know he’ll Learn It and get that :poop: done!

He’s a “Normal Guy” in the world of the Jedi. So damn relatable in that he’s average… until he works his butt off. And then he just thinks he’s hit the Acceptable level of things. (facepalm)

The amount of Trauma he walks off is just, so astronomical. I can't begin to address that here. Maybe another day.

And! And! He’s got a freaking indestructible sense of humor! The height of gallows humor, the peak of sarcastic wit, the most solid baseline of self-deprecating jokes that just… *chef’s kiss*

Depression? Oh absolutely! But he’s going to make you laugh about it and forget that it’s Actually Serious because dammit, that’s one good idea for what should surely be a crippling case!

*sigh*

I’m tired now. 

This whole story is a Trip.

[bananastress]

Second part of the series, I feel like this story has stolen my heart

Though some would harm you by Night_Fury (@shootingstarpilot)

“No-”

The red blade punches through Obi-Wan’s chest. The force of the blow lifts him off his feet. The blade lodges in the wall of the shuttle behind him, and Obi-Wan just -

hangs there.

Have to draw obi-wan now and again ✨

Lost boys

[jedi-starbird]

Time Travel is my favourite trope and I think we need more fics where both Obi-Wan AND Qui-Gon time travel together because no matter when they get sent it's chaos. They're saving the galaxy and being physic flash-bangs to everyone around them.

like before Bandomeer?

The entire council is baffled to watch as Qui-Gon 'never taking a padawan again' Jinn has suddenly cut off his post-Xanatos depression tour to return to the temple and beeline to the creche with a frantic energy. His wild eyes immediately single out a fluffy, red-haired initiate.

"You." he exhales with a pointed finger, slightly ominous as he towers over the child. Said child starts vibrating with delight. "Me." he agrees, launching himself at the man. Qui-Gon drops to his knees with a thud that cannot be healthy. Obi-Wan's attempts to clamber into Qui-Gon's robes and maybe onto his shoulders is thwarted by the fact that Qui-Gon's massive hands are cupping Obi-Wan's tiny squishy cheeks. He stares at the initiate for a few minutes with an intensity that is starting to worry people.

Finally, "You're so small." Qui-Gon sounds like he might cry.

'What the fuck?' Plo Koon projects at Mace.

"I'm 9! That tends to be the case!" the child chirps back.

"You're nine." Oh. Ah. Qui-Gon's eyes are distinctively misty. He squishes the boy in a hug so hard he squeaks. Mace makes a series of gestures that imply the need for a head-scan. Depa obligingly drifts off towards the halls. Qui-Gon scoops the child up onto his hip and claims him as his padawan on the spot. The assorted council members and creche-masters burst into noise. Mace tells Depa to bring some space ibuprofen as well.

after Naboo?

Anakin is a little apprehensive of his place in both the order and Obi-Wan's life, but then one day Obi-Wan wakes up and is suddenly a lot less sad in the force?? In fact, if Anakin didn't know better he'd say he was almost giddy, but he's watched Obi-Wan try to pretend his world hasn't fallen apart for the past few months so it can't be that, right? And um, Miss Bant? He knows grief is a funny thing that affects people differently but he's pretty sure 'massive mood swing' and 'having full conversations with invisible people' is not...great? and you said to tell you if Obi-Wan got really weird in any way.

Anyway after a lot of medical exams, intense consultation with the archives, and a couple exorcisms, Anakin ends up being raised by his 'real' master and his ghost master. He is far more well adjusted emotionally and far less well adjusted for what counts as normal people behavior(not talking to thin air). When questioned on this, all he ever says is that he's talking to Qui-Gon. Isn't he...dead? Well, yes. Wait, he's a ghost? Ghosts are real? ...Well this ghost is real.

This starts a great number of existential crises among non-force sensitives and incredibly heated theological arguments amongst the Jedi. Whenever Obi-Wan is questioned on this, all he ever says is some variation of "the force got to know him for 5 seconds and kicked him back out." Mace backs him up on this even though that reasoning is technically blasphemous. Qui-Gon is having the time of his un-life. He's ascended to his final form, his sheer existence is a heresy, this is truly all he has ever aspired towards.

the Clone Wars?

The minute they get dropped back Qui-Gon immediately goes and haunts the shit out of Dooku. They have a signed terms of surrender and promise of info on the Sith Lord within the year. Only half of it is because Qui-Gon's giving Dooku complexes that are only perceptible to shrimp, the other half is because they now have a ghost spy that is not bound by the laws of physics nor spacetime.

Obi-Wan only nominally pays attention to this as he immediately goes and implements his 19 step seduction plan with Cody (he had to focus on something on Tatooine to pass the time). It fails. Spectacularly. Publicly. Ah right. Tatooine was not exactly the height of his sanity. Everyone in the GAR and temple is now riveted by High General and Councilor Obi-Wan Kenobi's attempts to go on a date with his Commander, who bats him away him like a particularly annoying stray and seems one bouquet of cactus away from committing mutiny. Anakin is worrying if it means his master knows about his secret marriage and this is some sort of really weird power play. (It is, but not in the way he thinks)

The next time Dooku goes after Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon spends a good few months appearing tear-stained at the edge of Dooku's perception and only communicating in terrible wails and discordant mutterings of 'padawan. my padawan. my little one.' 24/7.

"Wait, you're annoying Dooku into surrendering?"

"Oh no Anakin, we're crushing his psyche like a bug. :)"

Star Wars: The Prank Wars

Anakin and Ahsoka definitely tacked Obi-Wan’s chair at some point, resulting in a long and drawn out prank war between the three.

Obi-Wan will get his revenge.

[a-morningstar-120]

Anakin: To live is to be evil.

Obi-Wan: Go back to bed.

Anakin: But to be evil is to also live.

Obi-Wan: Anakin.

Anakin: Did you know that hell is in hello?

Obi-Wan, exasperated: Did you know you’re going to know the greatest hell known to living man if you. Don’t. Go. To. Bed.

Everybody should read this... I bought my first iPad and was very excited to start drawing there...

     back then, i was dauntless    

Night_Fury

                     Summary:            

In one world, Ben is on a raid when the hospital is bombed. Forty-three die.

In this one, Cerasi leads the raid instead, and Ben is only a block away when he hears the bomber's engines.

Or:

How the kindness of Obi-Wan Kenobi saves the galaxy.

The first five chapters of this fic deal with Obi-Wan's time with the Young as a General and how he leaves, and the last four explore explore Obi-Wan's return and the reaction of the 212th to learning a bit more about their General's past.

Sometimes, you just need a hug (whether you realize it or not)

If you’ve seen Stargate Atlantis, you may recognize this scene. I just had to draw it with Quinlan and Obi-wan. It was too perfect.

[chyarui]

What happens when padawan quin miraculously comes back from a shadow mission gone wrong…

More quinobi, now with a side of angst!!

And look, I adore quinlans locks, but sometimes sacrifices must be made for the plot (I will not ask for forgiveness)

although most of his beautiful hair clasps are gone, at least obi was able to hold onto one for him (what he thought was likely the last piece of quin he had left) 💔

[pinksloosh]

Anakin: Can I ask a stupid question?

Obi-wan: Better than anyone else.
