#anakin definitely watches holonovelas

[kittimau]

1/? Consider this: padawan anakin being absolutely (& surprisingly unashamedly) obsessed with holonovelas. (Everything he knows about love & romance he’s learnt from these shows... this is why he’s an abysmal flirt). also the image of sullen and sulky padawan anakin sighing dreamily over his silly tv shows is honestly so cute. Many a time Obi-wan has (unwillingly) been regaled with the latest OTT drama & treachery that has happened on ‘Lovesick on Lothal’ or ‘Rodian Romances’. However as anakin

2/2 gets closer to his knighthood (& it seems like theyre fighting more than they’re getting along) Obiwan often finds himself asking anakin for updates about his shows as this seems to be the only topic these days that doesn’t end up with anakin storming off to his room or Obi-wan left wondering where he went wrong as a master. Also it almost always guarantees getting a smile out of anakin (also a rare occurrence these days) and so Obiwan ends up being veryfond of these shows too as a result 😌

I love this 😂

It's so messy and so Anakin, I mean come on ofc he would live for romantic melodrama. (Also this gave me flashbacks to the telenovelas some of my friends made me watch as a kid 🤣)

He'd rant all through firstmeal about the prior night’s “secret twin tries to take over the life of the main character and steal their husband/wife” and “villain everyone thought was dead actually faked it and is back to bring down/take over the family dynasty” plot twists and sigh longingly over the angsty but sweet “they finally got together despite everything that stood in their way” slow burns.

Meanwhile Obi-Wan is sitting there, chin in his palm, sipping his tea and nodding idly. Giving a little hum here and there so it seems like he’s listening. He thinks it’s probably not the best idea to let Anakin get so carried away with these big romantic hero fantasies, but he’s young and surely he deserves to enjoy such an innocent pleasure as entertainment between training.

Eventually, he becomes subconsciously curious. Starts sitting with Anakin while he watches them. He's quiet most of the time, but every now and then can't help himself, asking Anakin to clarify a plot point or character motivation, or pointing out some logical flaw that itches a personal pet peeve. Anakin just smiles and goes along with it, amused that Obi-Wan is more interested than he wants to let on. Besides, he likes spending time together.

Over time, however, as Anakin approaches knighthood, they have less time for such things. The relationship is often tense and Anakin’s moods fickle. The distance grows. And it’s then that Obi-Wan realizes how much he misses listening to Anakin talk; he misses the enthusiasm with which he’d share those stories the evenings they spent watching them together. He subtly slips them into conversation, or puts them on and waits for Anakin to notice and join him. Even finds himself getting invested in the relationships and plots (he feels kinda foolish and embarrassed for it, but he’s hooked now, sooo—).

(ofc bonus if at some point one of those mirrors his and Anakin’s relationship and he has a big “Oh.” moment hahahahaha)
