I think it would be really fun If you ever wrote anything about anakin being saved from the dark side because Obi-wan got teary eyed about it, i just think Anakin stopping his fall from grace bacause he feels bad Obi-wan feels bad would be really funny and also I think Anakin going from downward spiral yelling tantrum to oh no : ( obi-wan feels bad is peak anakin. I know we got a little bit of it in kenobi show when obiwan got teary Eyed and anakin was like 'its all my fault actually' but u know

so i did write something vaguely like this in hold my heart more gently than you do my throat but it's definitely not a cup of tea for everyone (a/b/o dynamics, reverse master/padawan au) but basically anakin falls and becomes fixated on bringing the order down and building an empire for his padawan and his padawan obi-wan is like i really really really don't want that and im going to cry if you follow through 🥺👉👈

and sith anakin is like. ok. nvm. pls dont cry.

Dooku and Anxiety?

So I completely made up that Dooku regularly had panic attacks as a kid for chapter 4 of This Story Can Kill You in Biting His Own Tale.

The kind of dignity Dooku projects absolutely reminds me of a person feeling like if they can just control their expression and appear totally aloof then they can control everything around them too.

By the time we meet him as Darth Tyranus, so much of him is image, and that image is specifically dignity and solemnity. To me that speaks of a need for control, because seriousness and solemnity are a fabulous way to stall for time in trying to figure out what to do without revealing you have no idea what you're doing.

There is the consideration that Jedi in general are known for their composure, but when other Jedi do it, there's obvious personality injected in it. Obiwan has his sarcasm and straight up flirting banter alongside that focused calm. Yoda makes exasperating, silly jokes in between giving cryptic, meaningful advice--I aspire to make old person jokes half as funny as his when I'm old. Anakin is as blunt as ever, even in his best moments. Even Luke picks up some of that Jedi calm, but is still manages to show he is forthright, caring, and just a little winy.

Dooku on the other hand, my entire impression of him is his composure, and the moment when it cracks--the moment he's about to die. All that is beneath it is fear. Admittedly, that's very reasonable in the particular moment, but I think it would hold true even if he hadn't been about to die. As a Sith, Dooku could totally decide to let out lots of his emotions, physically, verbally, whatever, just like we see Vader do, but he doesn't. There's a reason the Jedi don't realize Dooku has changed until he attacks them, and it's at least partially that he hasn't changed his behavior significantly. Despite the "breaking of chains" promised by the Sith Code, Dooku keeps his facade even when he no longer needs to fool anyone at all.

In the clone wars episode Ambush (one of my personal favorites), we get the fabulous moment of Yoda and Dooku seeing each other over a holocall. Dooku speaking to Ventress is angry and commanding. He feels in control of her, and so he doesn't need to control himself. When Yoda--someone Dooku knows very well he does not control--arrives, it's a different story. Yoda initiates their verbal exchange, and Dooku mainly follows his cues in their conversation, just deflecting Yoda's assertion that darksiders are cowardly. His anger and impulse is tucked away and hidden, and he becomes passively reactive. Even those reactions are tied up in being witty and formal, rather than expressing any personality.

The image of a young Dooku struggling with anxiety and panic attacks and Yoda, who would be only a little shorter than him at that point, helping him calm down, gives me a lot of feelings. It so deeply echoes what Obiwan and Anakin's early years together must have been like (though the anxiety is from different causes) that it just--I'm a sucker for lineage feels ok?

Chat writes the plot! Time for more 👑🐲🐟 KotD!

~King of the Dragonfish: Chapter 11~

'If I make it out of this alive,’ Obi-Wan thinks, ‘I'm leaving this part of the story off my report to the rest of the council.’

The whole ‘sith lord reborn through… an unknown convergence in the force… into a previously unheard of fish hybrid… who was supposed to be dead… but isn't… and-’

… actually, he's not sure what he's going to say at all.

His thoughts are interrupted by a wack of fins upside his head.

“Ow!” the jedi says, rubbing at the point of impact and glaring at the source. “Why are you hitting me again?”

“You are not paying attention!” Maul declares, and shoves more of the slimy moss into his hands. “Look!”

He does. It's… the same as before? Clover like. Wet. bioluminescent. Slick. “Yes? What about it?”

The dragonfish sith huffs, like he's being obtuse, and spirals around his back. Obi-Wan finds himself lifted and supported entirely on the curl of his tail. Maul’s head leans over his shoulder, hands reaching around him to pull even more of the plants into his lap. The sith's pupils are blown, big enough to see in the green light of his eyes.

“It is luminous and it is soft,” the sith sighs happily, “it is Kenobi Moss.”

Obi-Wan huffs with exasperation. “What in the world are you trying to say? It's just a plant. Tsk. I think you imbibed a bit much of… whatever it was that you took.”

Maul growls, shaking the bundle, “I am not high, it is-! It is Kenobi Moss! It is light and soft like you are light and soft!”

The jedi master crosses his arms and leans back.

…he's surprised to find himself quite comfortable, save for the damp plants in his lap. The length of Maul's torso and tail made for a rather shapely chair.

“I am not soft, Maul. I'm scared, calloused, and quite hairy. Now! I think, perhaps, you should consider sleeping off whatever this is.”

“You are dumb,” the sith says plainly, “and soft,” he adds, putting his clawed hands into Obi-Wan's hair. “Ssssoft…” he sith hisses delightfully, suddenly deciding to play with it.

Obi-Wan blinks, rapidly, cheeks going pink. “...quit that,” he demands lamely.

“Hnnn!” Maul says, ignoring him in favor of winding fingers through his hair repeatedly.

Oh blast, that feels incredible. Nails trail along his scalp, alternatively heavy enough to dig heady lines across the skin, then light enough tracing to give him shivers.

“Maul,” he complains, “would you please qu-”

“No,” the bastard chimes, “I am busy.”

The jedi scowls, trying to reach up and detangle the hands from his head, despite how nice it feels. He is, more or less, sitting on Maul's lap and being petted.

He is also leaving this part of the story out of his report.

“You didn't even hear what I was about to ask!” he complains.

“No!” Maul spits at him, "I am very busy right now, I will not do anything else!”

“You're just… just touching me to amuse yourself! Despite the fact that it's pleasant, you really are not busy! Besides, that’s previously what I was going to ask you. To stop-.”

Maul makes a noise that is absolutely alien, neither zabrak nor human.

…do dragonfish make some kind of noises?

“I do not want to stop! It is pleasant, and soft, and good, and always these things are taken away from me! Always the others are given food! Always the others may sit at the table and be included! Never me! Never me! Always the others are given a chance to kill me, cut me, take my place! But now I am different, I am strong. Now I make the rules.”

“... what?” he says quietly, deeply confused and a little alarmed.

What is the sith talking about?

...food? ...others? ...cutting?

“I am ssstrong,” Maul hisses in his ear, one hand threading deep into Obi-Wan's hair and winding the stands in his fist. “If I want soft things, I will take soft things.”

The man's other hand reaches around his middle, holding the jedi's back flush against his cool, unyielding scales.

“Maul…” he says, thrown and still not sure what to say.

“You… are so soft,” the sith croons into his ear, “and If I want you, I will take you.”

Every word of that phrase goes straight down his spine and into his-

Obi-Wan crosses his arms, his legs, and his toes, then tries to bury everything those words make him feel. “What exactly do you mean about… food? About sitting at the table?”

The sith makes a frustrated noise, nosing into his hair, huffing, then releasing the arm around his middle to pull in yet more glowy moss. “It matters not. The past is gone away. Look. Is this not very good? It makes light. It is like you.”

Maul… really wants him to enjoy the moss? He guesses? …or his blitzed little brain is attempting the most transparent change of subject ever witnessed.

“It is… yes, it's very nice-” he looks down at it, then sidelong at the man curled over his shoulder, “-though… if you don't put it back in the water it will probably die. I suppose it is like me, in that. If I don't get back to the surface, eventually I will also die.”

Maul snarls, wrenching his head back. It hurts, until he relaxes into the pull. The sith moves him where he wants him, draping Obi-Wan along his tail and looming over top of him. His dick gives a little twitch of interest about all this.

“You are not,” the sith tells him fiercely, “allowed. to die. I am keeping you. You are soft and light and good and I will remake the seas until they are hospitable to you. I will pull up heat from the earth to keep you warm, and steal fruit from the sky to see you fed.” The grip on his head relaxes as the sith's brow furrows, confusion and frustration and the struggle to express himself written across his face. “This place is… it is better with you here. You… you will be well here. I will not stop until it is so.”

…kriffing, kark. If that isn't the most romantic thing anyone has ever said to him. How in the ever loving sith hells did they get from revenge and death to this? In a matter of days?

“Maul,” he says too softly, pained, and then stops. Again, he's at a loss for words.

The sith makes a noise of disgust for some reason, and goes back to playing with his hair, then moves on to being fascinated with his beard, following the scruff down and under his jaw with curious fingers until it trails away into skin. He… complacently puts up with the manhandling, with his legs still determinedly crossed.

At least until the other man starts tugging at his tunics.

“Wh- Ma- Excuse you, what are you doing?” he snaps.

“You spoke true… there is very much hair. It is most soft here,” he says, ruffling Obi-Wan's head, “and less soft here," he scritches under the jedi's chin. “I saw your torso before, there was more of it. I want to see how it feels. Take this off.”

Oh hoho hooo No. Absolutely not. “I don't think so,” Obi-Wan drawls, “but I have an excellent alternative for you.”

Maul drifts back a bit, head tilting curiously. His ear fins flit twice. “Mnhh?”

“Kenobi Moss!” the jedi shouts helpfully, and tosses all of the piles of it into the air with the force. Then, he makes them spin and float around like dandelion fluff.

Maul's pupils dilate from ‘overblown’ to ‘the irises are basically gone’, and he goes swaying off to catch the nearest one.

Obi-Wan slides safely off the side of him as he leaves, exhaling expansively.

That was… a close one.

[this-acuteneurosis]

You know something I love with the Prequils that I see as an improvement over the Origionals is them showing how regular people can contest against Force sensitives? im mostly talking about Episode 2. Through the Chase against Zam, Obiwans fight in the Rain against Jango, and then Mace fight with Jango on Genosis+Dino man shot down, its shows the breath and depth on how Regular folks can contend? If You have hardware and Skill You can contest, even win, but heaven help you if you get grounded.

It took me a little while to answer this, because my first thought was, "Okay, sure."

But then I turned it around a few times and...I think I feel the exact opposite?

Like, I came up with a ton of examples the more I thought about it, but--

Luke. Is Force sensitive. And gets his butt handed to him all the time? From like, the first time Artoo tricks him and runs away and Luke gets beaned over the head by a Tusken, to RotJ where trained Luke gets abducted by teddie bears whose weaponry is literally sticks and stones, and he is incapacitated by rope (24 hours before he goes to confront two Sith lords). Lots of injuries and issues and stuff.

And like, Han. Han Solo. Sneaks up on Vader in a freight ship and shoots him. Vader. Foils Vader's pursuit by flying them into an asteroid belt in ESB. Han's pretty effective.

Artoo. Artoo is messing up Vader's plans all the time.

Leia was technically revealed as Force sensitive in RotJ, and post-prequels and "Chosen One" Anakin I think a lot of her experiences are retconned into being more Forcey by fans. But like, in ANH? She wrecks Vader's ability to find Artoo by lying badly to Vader's face. He knows she's full of shit, and it's meaningless. He still doesn't get the plans. No Force required.

I dunno, I feel like the entire vibe of the first trilogy is "scrappy underdogs have Hope and Love and Win?" And yeah, there's some Force stuff. But like, Luke wins the day by not fighting. And Vader literally picks up the Emperor and chucks him with a hand and a stub. So...?????

[briliantlymad]

Saved a draft post of boy mom obiwan whos obsessed with keeping anakin safe and secure and wants a redo to ensure anakin never even feels slightest bit of pain

Might keep it as jangobi. Or change it to jastobi or even torobi if the flavours hit right

Slight dead dove and fucked up but that's usually what my brain at 3am produces so we roll

Only he fucks up the redo. Ends up in a different universe altogether. No anakin but as a small light hidden close to his heart. And a war between the sith and mandalore and it's allies.

Smth smth jango saves obiwan. Saves but really I've never not imagined them a little dead dovey. So it's probably a deeply codependent relationship with a little manipulation from jangos side and a little baby trapping from obiwan's (once he realises there's no way to go back, not that it matters since anakin is with him. Or will be anyway) obiwan gets to live his best life as a proper boy mom without ever worrying about what the jedi council would say about his attachments but when you're preggy and in a diff world it doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway that's about it. I haven't thought much else other than I think obiwan being anakin's biological parent has such a zing to it. Got purposefully preggy by the force and gives birth to anakin again cus he can't bear to see him ever get hurt. So that his precious boy will never feel the heat of tatooine or the harsh life of a soldier forced to fight a meaningless war or groomed by palpy.

choose violence: 1, 6, 12 ✨

Choose violence ask game

the character everyone gets wrong

Hrm probably Barriss Offee! This is of course directly due to the racism of Filoni & swtcw writers, but certain sides of the fandom tend to misrepresent her intentions… ie acting as though her goal was to betray Ahsoka, rather than that betrayal occuring as a secondary consequence to her bombing the temple. The temple bombing was an incredibly islamaphobic plotline to begin with but reconciling it with her character is… possible… in that she was so traumatized by the horror of constant death around her that she felt the need to orchestrate a drastic demonstration to get the republic’s attention. But I do not feel as though she was meant to be interpreted as desensitized to that violence but rather reconciling it within herself as a necessary evil to prevent further deaths. But again there are far better and less racist directions Filoni could’ve taken her character in order to make the same point. Like if she left the Jedi order to join resistance fighters like Saw Guerrera, for instance, and we got to see more of the development on screen of her difficulty with alligning the jedi code with her actions. But I digress.

6. Which ship fans are the most annoying?

The easy, obvious and throway answer is obikin shippers lmfao. I definitely understand the appeal of exploring fucked up relationships through fiction. I’m an AMC’s Interview with the Vampire fan. But the romanticization of that particular relationship is sickening to me and a lot of them like to pretend that there isn’t anything like… fucked up to explore there. Like a master/padawan ship’s power imbalance is not typically what these people want to tackly. They just want to draw horny sith obiwan fan art and write about those two fucking from sex pollen (I have perused their side of ao3 out of morbid curiosity. Sex pollen comes up a lot. Unsurprising given the dubcon nature of it, I suppose)

The easy, less obvious answer is probably dinlukes (sorry Ky aslkdjf) or dincobbs like I really do understand the appeal of shipping the single dad with hot young twinks or dilfy men but like there is such barebones support for the ship in the show that it’s nothing to me. Like sorry but these men barely interacted with each other. There’s no substance

12. The unpopular character you like and why more people should like them?

My biggest one is Barriss, but I already talked about her a little bit so I’ll say Arvel Skeen, from Andor. I’ve found his character and what he represents to Cassian fascinating since the end of his arc, which I talked about here. I think the fandom had a tendency to kind of two dimensionalize him / hate him unnecessarily. And then everybody forgot about him lol. When I found his final conversation with Cassian very poignant in establishing Cassian’s values and in exploring Skeen as a character himself.

Send me asks!

[ragnarlothcat]

hello! sorry to disturb but ive been searching for a fic and i havent been able to find it, hoping you can help if its not too much of an imposition 😭 iirc it was a oneshot where vader travels back into the past into his old body to terrorise his master once more, but gets dommed by a sith obiwan who has also time travelled from the future? and anakin doesn’t know that the obiwan he’s seeing isnt the obiwan of that time. i think like half of it is also sex?

No worries, I feel like I have a little fic finding detective agency!!! I just spent like five minutes trying to think of a famous detective whose name could be combined with mine and have fallen short so bad luck there but I do think I found your fic.

My guess: Coming back and going forward. The tags and description sound like exactly what you've described here!

[antimonyandthyme]

brain is swamp and i have too many random aus in a soup so i’m plonking them all here

spirited away au

where mick is chihiro and seb is haku and mick gets stuck in the spirit world and is forced to get a job in the bathhouse. seb is caring and then cold, kind and then terribly stern, and mick feels all alone, the only human among creatures who would devour him without a second thought. except for that dragon, who appears when everyone else in the bathhouse has gone to sleep, curls up around mick and lets mick cry into the feathers adorning its head. it’s seb. seb’s the dragon. the dragon has a curse which mick will break, and mick will remember the dragon’s real name by the end of this. and free the dragon from the bathouse!

whiplash au

where seb is neiman and toto is fletcher (see this, lmao) and seb’s this aspiring drummer who is well aware he’s talented and wants to make it in the big leagues and toto’s this borderline abusive, emotionally manipulative, relentlessly strict conductor that gives all the students nightmares and seb’s just like, yeah, great. it’s this guy i wanna impress. i’m gonna practice until he acknowledges me. oh and he also gets toto fired which sets off the greatest game of musical chess ever played. toto invites seb to play in his band and he orchestrates it just to break seb down except seb powers through and busts out a life changing drum solo that makes all of toto’s dreams of creating the next charlie parker come true.

the happy prince au

where charles is the happy prince statue and seb is the swallow, and charles begs seb to stay for a day, pluck out the ruby in the hilt of his sword and to give it to that poor little boy selling matches. seb declares he does not enjoy being near boys with their stones and sticks, but he will do so just for charles, for a happy prince should not look this sad. and then charles asks seb to pluck out the sapphires from his eyes to give to the people, and seb says, you are blind now, i will stay with you always, and the frost comes and the swallow slowly freezes and this is where charles learns what having a bleeding heart will get you.

star wars au

where seb is obiwan and charles is anakin and the prophecy spoke of charles bringing balance to the force except charles can’t seem to care for it, not when he loves his master so, and in this version of events it is seb who falls to the dark side and becomes a sith, twisted by the love for his padawan and the fact that he will break all his vows for him, and charles is left to wonder what use is balance if his master stands on the other side of him, and on mustafar charles has the high ground but doesn’t use it, and it is anakin charles once again who is left gasping for breath when the fight is over.

[storytellerstarsign22]

Star Wars Midquel (Padme should have lived)

I don’t think I’m alone in not liking the prequels. I only kind of like the first one and the last one. If I could make a change to the last one, “Revenge of the Sith” I feel like Padme wouldn’t have died in childbirth. I know they wanted to do a self fulfilling prophecy sort of thing with Anakin, but honestly it makes no sense and the original concept for the first three movies was that she died of an illness when the twins were two. So why don’t we keep that?

Padme is taken to the hospital, and hooked up to machines to keep her alive, she gives birth with little difficulty, and while she is sad, she doesn’t just die because the machines are keeping her alive. So, they decide to take Padme and the twins into hiding, and spread the lie that she died in childbirth so that the Sith don’t go looking for her. They do a fake funeral with a closed casket and the Emperor lies to Anakin about her death.

So Padme is on a different planet from Naboo, being cared for by the staff since she is massively depressed after losing Anakin. She would struggle to care for her children because of her depression and they would be cared for by the staff. She would have moments where she would be happy with them and try to care for them, especially with Leia, but she would also have bad days where she wouldn’t be able to.

Eventually her health would start to decline because despite constant vigilance from the people and droids looking after her, she had let her health decline in her depressed state, and she would become ill. Then Obiwan (who, I guess was with her for awhile to look after her) considers moving the kids to hide them again if Padme were to die, so he takes Luke to live with the Skywalkers, and sends Leia to live on Alderan.

In Obi-Wans defence, I think he saw the twins as copies of their parents, since in terms of looks they look just like them. So he assumed that Leia would be better in Noble’s household, and he needed to keep an eye on Luke so Luke wouldn’t turn out like his father. Plus, Leia would be much more protected in a palace than Luke would be on a farm. Senator Bail Organa had already offered to adopt Leia when she was born, but they wanted the babies to stay with their mother.

So Obi-Wan takes the kids off world as Padme gets worse, meanwhile, Vader had been getting visions of Padme dying, which he is confused and haunted by. He first considers the, simply dreams,or memories, but the dreams are different, she looks different, she’s in a different place. He eventually figures out that Padme is still alive and that the Emperor lied to him, and he goes looking for her.

It is possible that he wouldn’t find her in time, but I would like to think that he did. He came to see her right before she died, terrifying the personnel. When Padme sees him, she is a little afraid, but she mostly doesn’t care anymore. She might be silently waiting for death to come, or she might be talking about how finally she’ll see Anakin again (most people think he died). Then she dies, and Vader is upset once again.

He starts questioning everything. He considers overthrowing the emperor, but he’d need an apprentice first, since that is the way of the Sith. He questions the power of the dark side, which hasn’t helped him save anyone, only destroyed all he loved. He might retaliate against the people there out of rage, but in the end he stays where he is, because he’s done too much bad that he believes he has no one left, he’s too far gone. He can’t run or hide, he’s too recognizable. He could try to turn against the emperor and destroy the empire, but he doesn’t want to destroy the empire, he wanted to rule it with Padme, and now she’s gone. He is loyal to his master, and decides to stay loyal to him since he is all he has left, but he probably distances himself from Palpatine after that.

And that is how “you lose the will to live” it’s a slow, painful process, not a choice you make when your tired.

[rarepears]

#lol everyone blaming obiwan Is great#like he spent a few months with you and suddenly he's this suave guy wtf obiwan#thr negotiator more like the flirt#winter probably interrupted palpatines speech to kill him#the force reached balance and left all jedi with a vague sense of amusement#also can you imagine the moment winter arrives.#obiwan asking the force for help with the sith like lilo asking for the nicest angel#cue winter murder struting in#also omg yes they think he was death watch when they ask him if he was part of the terrorist group slash cult he's like yeah hyrda is that#most important question is does anyone succeed in seducing winter? @caranmerya

No one succeeds in seducing Winter because he's too busy figuring out a sense of identity, seeing his mind healers, and dealing with a million different clones all eager to help him (and by proxy their own selves) discover new hobbies.

In teaching Winter how to be a person, the clones discover their own sense of identity too. It starts off as the clones feeling that things are wrong wrong WRONG for a nat-born to act so much like a (memory wiped) clone and are desperate to restore things back to normal so their world is normal again. Then they got attached and Winter let them (because the Winter Soldier could just sneak past all of the clones to get to Obi-Wan but he didn't). They spar even.

Okay, just BECAUSE Winter doesn't fall for anyone doesn't mean that other people realize it. The public thinks that there's a very hot forbidden romance going on between famed Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi and widowed Mando Winter. How else to explain the many pap shots of Winter leaving Kenobi's ship (out the front door!) all mussed up in the morning? Or... maybe Winter has a harem of clones on top of seeing the Jedi Master? Oh my, all sorts of combinations are possible...

Winter Soldier is still a little shit. He knowingly breaks a lot of rules and drives Obi-Wan insane but he just gives that blank look with a lot of blinks like he has no clue what he's doing - oh look, he's a poor survivor of abuse and mind wipes, can you really be blaming him for not knowing better? He's basically got the morality of a toddler in a deathly skilled assassin body, ha take that, Ventress - and he offers to give up his prosthetic arm as a form of punishment. Which doubly horrifies Obi Wan who has seen how difficult things are when Anakin is forced to go without his prosthetics.

Insert Anakin awkwardly trying to get to know Winter because hey look! They are both missing an arm! And hiding relationships because the Jedi Order would disapprove!!

Winter: we are not the same

Give me an AU where the Winter Soldier is thrown into Star Wars and he latches onto Obi-Wan Kenobi as his handler.

Obi Wan makes the mistake (plus some miscommunication) of telling the Winter Soldier that the mission is to identify and eliminate the Sith in the Senate. But really, that's what he gets for underestimating people who don't have the force and letting Palpatine get some nice private meetings with this oh so interesting person who claims to be from another world. So is it really that surprising to find the Winter Soldier dragging a dead Palpatine with yellow eyes a couple weeks later?

Worse? Winter Soldier has a metal arm. Just a metal arm. An arm that looks very different from the usual Star Wars prosthetics. One could even see it as an exchanged vambrace done in the Mandalorian marriage way...

[oldblog-batsyheere]

time travel and obi-wan kenobi equal so much pain and nonsense.

This man is a bottled up mess of anxiety, self worth issues, depression and ptsd.

He gets put in a toddler body and wants nothing to do with anything right now because the Force is once more an insistent thing tugging him to and fro.

He has masters and his friends worried because what little joy he did show previously, as a Vision having toddler, is now swept away and hidden and they have solemn, quiet Obi-wan who will go along with whatever you want. The only time he will deny you anything is when you cross one of the lines he set, unknowingly, and he goes to do whatever most will guarantee some alarm out of pure spite.

Despite not going out of his way, outside of a few instances to reach out when the Force pokes him to do, he does not intend to make changes around him.

Except he is a toddler who looks at a Master and judges them for a stupid slip up and the Master feels shame despite no judgemental coming from this small human, who corrects them, and walks away.

With OBI-WAN KENOBI to premiere in just a few days and with all the incredible interviews with Ewan and Hayden, I have really been back in an Obi-Wan & Vader mood, so join me in crying about these two idiots and how much their story is a love story, in whatever form that takes. This set of STAR WARS recs focuses on Obi-Wan and his relationship with a fallen Anakin, whether that be a confrontation that goes a little differently or Vaderkin running around with That Face causing trouble or dream connections or Force ghosts who deal with Vader’s actions or alternate universes where they’re stuck together after Mustafar, all of it aimed to be set on the relationship between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader because apparently I like crying and having my feelings hurt.
