Kit, there is a discussion if Obi-Wan would use the nickname Ani for Anakin. What do you think?

i don't personally like it and rarely use it in my fics because for me it sounds out of character for my interpretation of obi-wan, but i wouldn't want someone else to stop using it because they think people think it's out of character and that they're wrong for using it or liking it, you know?

#not my obi-wan, but also #but maybe yours

#asks #i personally just dont like the nickname ani #and i see it used a lot for scenarios or fics where anakin is hyperfeminized which i also don't tend to like #(for either character for the record) #i don't even like it when padme calls him that and thta's just canon #big fan of the nicknam kin for him though #why doesn't anyone use it #it's right there at the end #call him Ken #he's just ken #feels like an an i dala meme for barbie and ken too #but anyway joking aside #i think in the past like month ive seen a lot more talk on tumblr about stuff like this #weighing fic tropes and canon and fanfic or fanart #and i think those discussions are interesting #i just also personally think i want to be careful when having them #because i don't want someone to feel like they're wrong or their understanding of obi-wan or anakin is wrong #because they think obi-wan would call him ani #and that makes them not want to participate in the fandom community writing or drawing or w/e #but on the other hand it's totally good and fine and natural and expected to have opinions #and have hills you'd die on #especially re characterization #so god do i not want to come off as preachy or anything #it's a fair question!! and i do have opinions lol
