#good morning I'm whumping obi-wan to the ends of the earth and back #(it's not literally morning but yknow)

[lilredghost]

Sitting here, once again gutted by the Kenobi show, and all I can think over and over is: He loves him. Obi-Wan loves Anakin and he never ever stops. "I loved you," he said, but the past-tense never actually happens. A decade later, even as he fights him (again), even as he wounds him (again), even as he stands above him, listening to him fight for every breath, he loves him, he loves him, he loves him. It radiates off Obi-Wan, in his tears, in his voice.

When he looks Leia in the eyes, and tells her the little kernel of truth he can, he speaks of Anakin and his voice shakes. And his heart aches. Because he loves Anakin so much, and he loves Leia, and he loves Luke, and he loves the little fragments of Anakin he sees in them, and he loves them, for their own sake, but there's no denying it's that Skywalker blood that connects with his in ways only the Force truly understands.

That love is tempered, folded in burnished steel, over and over and over again, till it is a blade, used with care, used with precision. Used till the arm that wields it is old, and tired, and pragmatic. Used until a sword is needed no more. (And in the end, that sword will break the chains. Though in the end, another hand will strike the final blow.)

It's a simple fact, and the galaxy turns on it. Obi-Wan Kenobi will never stop loving Anakin Skywalker. He loves him, he loves him, he loves him.

The tragedy is that Anakin loved him back.

The triumph is that Anakin will love him again.

#Good morning to you in particular op

Anakin turned, and found within Obi-Wan’s eyes a depth of feeling he had only rarely glimpsed in all their years together; and the pure uncomplicated love that rose up within him then felt like a promise from the Force itself.

Wuthering Heights///Obi Wan Kenobi

[lilredghost]

(i'm cycling through my wips atm but cherry magic au still holds a special place. this is a little excerpt of the final chapter)

“Obi-Wan,” Anakin says. “You love me?”

Obi-Wan goes still. His posture is frozen, his back still to Anakin. After a moment, though, he is back in motion. Pouring hot water into their respective mugs. Calm, still, but for the faint tremor in his hands, but for the way his Force signature ripples as though Anakin threw a heavy object into a great body of water.

“We don’t have to talk about it,” Obi-Wan says, and maybe before, Anakin would have taken that as a no. Would have taken it as a rejection, twisted it around into something that wounded him, into an avoidance that disguised emphatic denial. Would have heard Obi-Wan’s voice in his head, clear as day, saying, No I don’t, but there is little to be gained from admitting it aloud. Don’t push me, Anakin. Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answers to.

Anakin knows differently now. Sees the deflection for what it truly is, bare and raw, somehow more vulnerable than a direct answer. 

Obi-Wan isn’t saying no. He’s saying please don’t hurt me.

#HE'S SAYING PLEASE DON'T HURT ME #Hly fucckckxkcmc I cannot tell you how much I am VIBING #Vibrating out of my skin even

dw I'll start:

They are closer than friends. Closer than brothers. Though Obi-Wan is sixteen standard years Anakin's elder, they have become men together. Neither can imagine life without the other. The war has forged their two lives into one.

— Matthew Stover, ROTS novelization

This was not Sith against Jedi. This was not light against dark or good against evil; it had nothing to do with duty or philosophy, religion or morals. It was Anakin against Obi-Wan. Personally. Just the two of them and the damage they had done to each other.

#I fucking love looking at the before and the after #they're so heartbreaking #how were they each other's entire worlds and then they still got ripped apart in the end? #I suppose gravity can be more than attraction. It can be a destructive force too #Also I had to put the source twice because otherwise it was combining the quotes on mobile #Thanks tumblr 🙄 #pinned posts

Shipping fictional characters isn’t representative of your moral values. It’s representative of your particular psychic damage and the themes and motifs that haunt you. Hope this helps.

okay but I need anakin in this like I need air in my lungs 😭

#Oh 👀 #Oh 👀👀👀👀

there are many scenes i am having to edit/cut entirely given the direction the endgame arc of Something Blue has taken but 'anakin dragging a resigned middle-aged obi-wan on a beach trip with his new teenage friends because he's too nervous to go alone' i will miss you

Obi-Wan becomes the designated minder of stuff, and very happily he might add. He just reads, looking very much like the watchful parent but there’s not a lot to be done about that. Anakin is taking tentative steps out into the social world but keeps looking back to him for reassurance, so if he needs Obi-Wan to sit there for the day then, well, Obi-Wan will sit. 

The group aren’t all nineteen, with some as aged and wizened as a venerable twenty-two, so Anakin isn’t the odd one out completely.

Of course, jaws still drop when it comes time for beach volleyball and Anakin takes off his shirt. His golden skin ripples with muscle, his small waist, broad shoulders and well-defined arms coming as something of a shock to a group primarily composed of art students. This is why Zalee and Tika brought Anakin, even though he’s a bit older, and much to the dismay of the heterosexual young men in their company. Anakin is chiselled in a way university students just aren’t. Everyone else has normal civilian bodies, varying weights and levels of muscularity, and one young man who’s obviously athletic but with a civilian level of fitness. Anakin, meanwhile, looks like he’s wandered directly out of a HoloDrama. This grand reveal isn’t exactly ideal in terms of maintaining their civilian cover – Anakin’s strength is that of a lifelong warrior, body carved into a weapon, and there is no mistaking it – but the young people are aware that he’s a war veteran. A very attractive war veteran, whose charms are only diminished when people remember he’s married to the boring old fart sitting over there, most likely.

Obi-Wan does not take his own shirt off, for the record. He’s wearing shorts to his knees and a loose long-sleeved shirt. He has no intention of putting on a gun show or showing his own well-defined physique, which a boring middle-aged man has no business being in possession of.
