#Obie is Man Enough

[transbookoftheday]

Obie Is Man Enough by Schuyler Bailar

A coming-of-age story about transgender tween Obie, who didn't think being himself would cause such a splash. For fans of Alex Gino's George and Lisa Bunker's Felix Yz. Obie knew his transition would have ripple effects. He has to leave his swim coach, his pool, and his best friends. But it’s time for Obie to find where he truly belongs.   As Obie dives into a new team, though, things are strange. Obie always felt at home in the water, but now he can’t get his old coach out of his head. Even worse are the bullies that wait in the locker room and on the pool deck. Luckily, Obie has family behind him. And maybe some new friends too, including Charlie, his first crush. Obie is ready to prove he can be one of the fastest boys in the water—to his coach, his critics, and his biggest competition: himself.

UHHHHHH, courtesy of my fellow basement dwellers in the Dinluke Star Dads server, I made this really basic template for folks to sort their stor wors blorbos. Feel free to use it!

Here's mine under the line:

That moment where Leia asks Obi-Wan if he’s her real dad was so deeply profound to me because of course she would think that. Obi-Wan was the first man Leia ever saw in her whole life. The first man to hold her after she was born. To look at her with love and concern and the desire to ensure she was kept safe. She’s so intuitive and it’s a natural conclusion since somewhere deep in her subconscious her very first memory involves being cradled in his hands.

#star wars #the amount of tears I shed over Star Wars is probably concerning #obi wan kenobi #obi wan kenobi spoilers #anakin skywalker #darth vader #my post #kenobi #leia organa #princess leia #baby leia #i love her so much 🥺🥺🥺 #I love their dynamic so much #watching Obi wan suffer has been so much harder than I thought it would be I just want to shield him from the whole galaxy #like damn hasn’t this man been through enough

thinking about how for like the first two years of obi wans apprenticeship qui gon did not give a fuck what obi wan did (or even really what happened to him) before snapping out of it and realizing he was actually very much responsible for this child and course corrected into being a helicopter parent and how obi wan always read this as mistrust instead of concern and guilt.

#Star wars #qui gon jinn #obi wan kenobi #The disaster linages complicated relationship #Neglect #Trauma #Like qui gon was deeply traumatized individual #And I think he just could not deal with being responsible for another child #Like I'm pretty sure obi wan would do something and qui gon would be having literal flashbacks of xantos #Which is not an excuse for obi wan being left to fend for himself but #And that lackluster care ran deep man like obi wan regularly ended up on a completely different planet during those early missions #But to that 13 year old baby wan it felt like trust #So when qui gon started suddenly giving a shit and putting rules in place it felt like mistrust #It's a pretty common reaction to see in kids when their parents who hadn't been parenting get it together #Qui gon having so much guilt being a helicopter tired dad #Wrestling his feral padawan into one of those kid leashes #Qui gon: through gritted teeth: its the will of the force Padawan stay fucking still I mean it I swear to all the gods #Obi wan: 15 and feral and war veteran twice over embressed to the point of finding this humiliating: #Master hates me? Mater distrusts me?? He thinks I need to be held on to like I'm fucking 7 years old when will I ever be good enough for hi

i don’t like hunger games au at all, and i avoid reading not completed fics generally but can i say. Can i say that your hunger games fic is the only think i’ve been capable of thinking for the last days and it’ s only the first chapter? the snippet of the dinner scene —"will you love me if i come back a monster?" / "i will always love you anakin"— made me lose my breathe jesus christ. this fic is everything i ever asked — unhinged lovers for each other, anakin being that younger version of vader who bite onto obiwan and never will let him go, obiwan too addicted to loving and be loved by anakin to standing the thought of losing him, codependency relationship based on needs and possessiveness and crazy addiction they will die if it’s not for this love? the "marriage vows who sealed the death of twenty three kids" line ? i can’t breathe you’re a genius

ahh thank you for giving my hunger games au a chance even though it is both a hunger games au and a wip!! i think having a lot written on tumblr really helps because it gives such a good outline of what the fic will become and what the story will be for both characters - putting it on ao3 is really just fleshing it out and making it sing as a written work

i think what i always struggle with when it comes to aus of other media is the instinct i have to make them 1:1 aus, which is what i call aus where i'm subbing my ship in for the characters of the media, i.e. putting anakin in for katniss and obi-wan in for peeta and pressing play.

at that point im like. why not just read the book if that's what i want to see, so that's something i like about this hunger games au because i'm just using the setting & the premise - anakin isn't meant to be a sub-in for katniss as the tribute and obi-wan isn't meant to be a sub in for peeta as the love interest or haymitch as the mentor and so i find writing it so much easier - i feel less constrained than i would if i was trying to make anakin feel like anakin skywalker from star wars, and also my own character for this fic and also katniss from this different media altogether

and yeah it's fun to make them fucked up and crazy about each other in new and different ways and so im so glad the first chapter has been posted and i can work on the second one now because damn that reaping is gonna be so fun

#asks #hunger games au #i do not mean to imply that 1:1 aus are bad or boring!! #i think there are plenty that i really like and i've even done some in the past #like monsieur and the monster is a 1:1 au of beauty and the beast where obi-wan is belle and anakin is the beast #and i struggled writing that more than i struggled writing the sleeping beauty au #where NO ONE is aurora and no one is prince phillip #its just a similar enough premise #but i have also talked with a lot of people who when they're writing aus of things they prefer 1:1 or as close to source material as possbl #me im jumping around im barely tied to the source material its all vibes for me #and thats what i find the most fun for writing #but there is nothing bad about the other way to be clear #i just see a universe and think man thats a hell of a universe right there #what other stories could take place in that universe #big day for people who read my tags lol heres some rambles

one thing I think about a lot is that there are a lot of Obi-Wan ships out there, and it makes sense, Ewan McGregor is very pretty and brings a lot of raw charisma to the character, but I can't help but think about how out of character it would be for Obi-Wan to even be in a relationship.

Obi-Wan takes his oath very seriously, he's a very by-the-book Jedi (mostly anyway). If I'm thinking about the character as we see him in canon, he would never be romantically involved with someone. That's not to say I don't think he would ever catch feelings, we see with Satine how that isn't true, but he would walk away and resist any kind of emotions he felt.

Obi-Wan's whole deal is that he's the perfect Jedi, followed the code to the letter, and believed wholeheartedly in it. He's more complicated than that, but that's his character template. This is not to say I think shipping him with people is bad, I have my own ships for him (Obitine my beloved), but I do find it funny that even putting him in a relationship is already breaking characterization. The fun part of that for me is going "okay how do I get this guy who, realistically, would be against being romantically involved with someone, romantically involved." but even then it wouldn't be sustainable, cus Obi-Wan's convictions as a Jedi would come crashing back in.

#star wars #star wars prequels #obi wan kenobi #star wars the clone wars #i have a obitine fic idea that's all about obi-wan's whole 'i couldn't be in a relationship with someone' thing #like he and satine start hooking up once they reentered each others lives #it happens infrequently enough for obi wan to be like 'this isn't breaking any kind of oath' since he's a grown man now #and 'only sees satine as a friend' #plus with how much they argue and how much their ideologies differ. it's easy to keep it all informal #but over the course of the war they fall back in love. and obi wan literally can't cope with that.

Obi wan : You read my diary?

Anakin : At first I did not know it was your diary. I thought it was a very sad handwritten book.

#if you’ve read enough about the man’s backstory that diary could make anyone cry #man literally said eternal sadness 🥲 #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #obi wan and anakin #incorrect star wars quotes #incorrect quotes #star wars incorrect quotes #star wars #sw incorrect quotes #clone wars #the kenobi show

[castratedvader]

posting these bc i dont feel like retyping them in a post but basically we (not me tho) forger too often how rightfully annoyed obi-wan was by everything anakin did in aotc and how improbable for him wouldve been to think of the other guy as anything but a charge (affectionate) (exhausted)

#in aotc hes really like the parent whos had enough and anakin is at his PEAK child behavior. i know my man obi wan was not interested #in That. but the boy tho-

OBI-WAN KENOBI PART III

#Leia Organa #tala durith #star wars #kenobi #swedit #kenobiedit #obi wan kenobi spoilers #This scene feels important because while it's not the first time we've seen Leia be brave it's still distinct #It's her giving up her safety for the sake of someone else #It's her choosing to send her protection to go protect someone against the most feared man in the galaxy #And she does it without knowing if the pilot will wait for them #she does it without knowing if they'll be okay or if she'll see them again #Princess Leia Organa is ten years old and she's smart enough to know she may have just ordered someone to their death #But she also knows that it could save someone #Just because Obi-Wan is very bad at accepting help doesn't mean it shouldn't be sent to him anyway #*mine

who had any idea rogue one and andor would be the only ones left standing after the Disney nuclear apocalypse of star wars

#star wars #and its all bc the same dude did it who doesnt give a fuck about disney or star wars #i really enjoyed andor a lot & rogue one #i wish they wouldve made heir to the empire in the style of andor w a recast han luke leia #thats all they had to do #instead they destroyed the whole IP #its bafflibg #the sequels destroyed the legacy characters and all they sought to fight for and build..... how did you do that #it failed finn rey rose and poe as diverse characters #the Bo Karendalorian failed the only decent project with atmosphere they had which followed a deeply devout man and his son on their holy #quest which gave them both deep spiritual ties #boba fett and obi wan had some high points but not enough to excuse the whole execution #just.... how #tales of the jedi and tbb are like Nick Jr tv which is fine for little kids but isnt even TOUCHING the clone wars level which was legit #a masterpiece from Lucas #just #sheesh #honestly this fandom really deserved better than the slow decay and destruction of an institution #at least we have Andor season 2 before its p much lights out for Star Wars #im grateful for that #and gilroys work

Still not over that time I watched a video where a guy said you were supposed to feel happy to see Obi-Wan beating Vader at the end of ep 3. Imagine misunderstanding a film that thoroughly and still pretending you know what its flaws were and how it could be fixed.

#absolutely insane #and he didn't say that as like. a deep analysis. it was his building block!! #he was all 'okay so you're supposed to feel happy when obi-wan wins right? so when x happens there should be y instead' #like babe what the fuck. how do you see obi-wan yell you were my brother anakin i loved you and go Ah Yes This Man Is Winning How Nice #i mean i don't have media literacy either but i don't make videos about how to fix the media i don't understand y'know #at best i make a 5-note tumblr post & rant about it irl to my friends #just..... what's wrong in his head. how do you make any more apparent that this moment is painful and sad. what the hell. #unsurprisingly mr wrong about star wars made like 2-3 videos about rey being a mary sue #he probably has shit takes about comics as well but i don't know comics well enough to ascertain that #wow i have a ramble tag now

So I’ve just finished watching Tales of the Jedi, and would just like to say kudos to the animation team for somehow managing to make Obi-Wan Kenobi even hotter. 👏👏👏

#because the man wasn't visually distracting enough as it was 🔥👀🔥 #that's not a complaint btw it's simply an acknowledgement of an evident truth lol #Obi-Wan Kenobi #obi wan kenobi #SW Tales of the Jedi #star wars prequels #star wars #tales of the jedi spoilers #my random ramblings
