Obi wan pls🙏

thanks for this! i'm gunna answer the multiple asks sent for him here 💜

First impression:

so my first impression of him is very much influenced by my mum haha. i watched the prequels for the first time with her when i was 12 or 13, and like most people at that age, i absolutely did not agree with anything my mum thought. that would be awful! sksksk anyway, she had a crush on ewan mcgregor and i was all ewwww? no (lmao i know, *clown shoes*). and i was a bit annoyed that every time i looked at obi-wan all i could think about was my mum fancying someone, and specifically a character, who i liked and related to so much. he's been my favourite character, not just in sw, but in all media since that age because i appreciate that he remained kind and good, despite all that he had been through.

Impression now:

bark fucking bark. i love him. i adore him. he is so important to me. i find him both complex and very relatable. his temperament, control, and wryness are things that i feel that i understand quite well, and i enjoy putting him in situations where those aspects of himself are challenged. despite his losses he remains kind, and i love him because of that.

Favourite moment:

one?!? impossible haha. but i do really enjoy rewatching the scene of him and anakin laughing and teasing one another on the landing platform on coruscant. he's so happy and playful and my heart aches for him.

Idea for a story:

obi-wan is sent to recruit slave rebellion leader anakin to fight with the republic during the clone wars. i'll never write it because the plot needed for such a story intimidates me and i always lose inspiration whenever i try to write multi-chaptered fics.

Unpopular opinion:

obi-wan is not a uwu cutie cinnamon roll who cannot do anything by himself, and i'm honestly baffled by why this characterisation of him is so prevalent within the fandom, especially when we are so often shown him being competent, wry, efficient and skilled.

Favourite relationship:

his and anakin's, it is tragic, devastating, and compelling. they make me cry, laugh, smile, and mourn, its wonderful.

Favourite headcanon:

obi-wan likes to watch cringey holotv dramas, though he denies it to anyone - mostly anakin when he catches on - because he's mortified by it. he usually watches them whilst completing mission reports but will often stop to make sarcastic remarks whenever a character makes a stupid decision.

Send me a character.
