57 - 83, correspondence in a haunted house :3
Codywan, warning for Order 66 and all that implies. Apologies to @ilthit; I know these aren't your blorbos. And apologies to everybody whose blorbos they are for the angst.
---
The hut looks utilitarian from the outside, in the ugly way all buildings designed for hostile environments do - a squat, ugly thing, trying to protect life in the Tatooinian deserts that are so unforgiving to it. It reminds Cody of the war, of efficiently designed ships and makeshift shelters. Obi-Wan always hated the war, despite excelling at it.
"This isn't the kind of place I expected you to settle down in."
Cody's voice is hoarse. Who's to say from what. Lack of use. Too much of it.
"And yet, you found me." Obi-Wan's words flow the same way they always did, smooth like honey and crisp like fresh water, despite his having spent the last however kriffing many years as a hermit with no one to talk to but his personal demons.
Tatooine in general is nothing like the places Obi-Wan used to be most at ease, back when they worked together. He was at home in the lively cityscape of Coruscant, and enjoyed sojourns on planets teeming with green, living things.
"Cody, I-"
His voice is closer now. Cody didn't hear him move.
"Still not one for materialism, I see."
He slowly makes his way through the main room, stepping around sparse furnishings and careful to keep his eyes off the sleeping area.
"Well, a nexu can't change its stripes."
Obi-Wan is in front of him again, as if by magic, or some Force trick. There's a softness in his voice, and it sinks into Cody's gut like a vibroblade.
"I thought I changed." He stares at the ground because he can't look up at Obi-Wan, and he can't look back at the bed.
"Oh darling, that was never you."
"It still is me. I shouldn't have come. I should have stayed away."
"I've missed you."
Obi-Wan's feet shuffle into view, soft cloth coots and soft leg wrappings silent where Cody's beaten armour creaks with each breath he takes.
To be fair, they are rather heaving breaths.
"I've missed you too. Once I could again."
He's through the kitchen, now. There's a pantry to his left, and a bathroom to his right. That's the extend of the hut; there's nowhere else to go.
Obi-Wan stays in front of him, even as he turns around.
"I mourned you. I thought I killed you. When I heard rumours that you were still alive, I couldn't help myself."
There's a side door in the kitchen. He should go there instead of back to the living area. That's where the bed is.
"Cody, dear. You came all the way to see me. Won't you look at me? I promise, all that could happen already has."
He can hear the ventilation unit running to the side. Despite its reassuring hum, Cody can't breathe properly.
"I thought I was safe for you."
"Calm yourself, Cody. You are safe for me now."
They are standing close enough now that, underneath his armour, the hairs on Cody's arms stand on edge.
Cody gives up and looks up. He never could help himself, or he wouldn't have come in the first place.
Obi-Wan's eyes are blue, so blue, and the skin around them is lined with crow's feet and sorrow. Even now, the smile they crinkle with is sad.
"There you are, darling," he says. He's so close, and yet his breath doesn't cool the sweat on Cody's face.
Nothing more does happen as Cody looks at him and Cody, Cody finally gets to see him.
It already has, after all.
Through Obi-Wan, blue, blue, blue like the sky and just as untouchable, he can make out the shape of the corpse tangled in the sheets, a curl of steam still rising from the blaster hole C-2224 put between his eyes.
Good soldiers follow orders, the Jedi are traitors, and Cody sinks to the ground while the illusion of the man who paid for his mistake asks him to breathe.

Okay, so one I've idea I have running around in my head is a time travel fic, where sometime after the events of ROTS Obi-Wan finds himself waking about the time just before Qui-Gon finally takes him as his padawan. But Obi-Wan decides that since he has this chance he is going to do everything in his power to really help Anakin and with the Force to guide him he decides not to be a Jedi and telling Qui-Gon that he would see him on Naboo. He leaves and finds work and saves as much money as he can (It's seventeen years I think before the POM and about 8 before Anakin is born. Not 100% sure my math is right.) he goes to Tatooine probably around when Anakin is 4 or 5. He would have Gone sooner, but he had to make sure he would have enough money to free both Anakin and Shmi.
He somehow arranges with Watto for Qui-Gon to get the parts he will need in the future.
He does end up telling Shmi some of the truth as to why he came, but I don't know how much. They all move to Naboo and Obi-wan and Anakin become like brothers. (Obi-Wan accidentally call Shmi Mom at some point and she loves it.)
Obi-Wan does teach Anakin some things about the Force. One thing I came up with is that He teaches Anakin to meditate while fixing droids, because the force helps him realized that Anakin focuses better when his hands our busy. He also let Anakin fly his ship. He is trying really hard to help Anakin learn to let go, but he has Shmi to help and a better environment which helps. (Oh, maybe he should get Anakin a pet.)
Well the time for the whole invasion is coming and by this point they have moved next door to Padme's family (Obi-Wan didn't know they lived there.) and have become friends with them. They know Padme a little bit, but not well since she's been busy with her campaign and then becoming Queen.
Anyway, just before the invasion Obi-Wan tells Anakin a little more about his past, (Anakin may have known there was something about Obi-Wan's past he wasn't sharing, but he never pressed to know what it was.) mostly that he traveled through time and is trying to stop bad things from happening again and he'll explain more later, but right now they have to go hide in the swamps.
Qui-Gon is sent to Naboo and Obi-Wan's words keep coming to the forefront of his mind, but he gets the Queen off plant without encountering Obi-Wan and then on Tatooine Watto tells him the part is already paid for and he is really confused.
When he is sent back to Naboo with the Queen he thinks about Obi-Wan's words again and is not surprised when Obi-Wan shows up in the swamp with a kid (Okay, so maybe the kid is a surprise.) Padme knows Obi-Wan and Anakin a bit and is happy to have their help. (Shmi stayed in hiding at Obi-Wan's request. She probably joins the camp later once they've made peace with the Gungans.)
Obi-Wan did build himself a lightsaber at some point because he want's to save Qui-Gon since he's fought Mual so much now he is prepared.
He makes sure Anakin can take out the blockade and saves Qui-Gon making sure Mual is truly dead.
They save Naboo and Qui-Gon offers to let Anakin become a Jedi.
Obi-Wan tells him it's his choice, but makes sure Anakin understands what it means to be a Jedi. In the end Anakin decides to stay with Obi-Wan and his mother.
Obi-Wan began to train him more in the ways of the Force and tells him more about the past and the Sith and how Palpatine is one and he is the person they are trying to stop.
Because of this Palpatine can never get his claws into Anakin because Anakin doesn't trust him.
I'm a little foggy on details now, but I know that Obi-Wan and Anakin get to know Padme more and stay in touch. I think if Anakin ever did have a crush on her it didn't last because he had a different environment and she saw him grow up and kept seeing him as little boy she first meet and then as a brother. (I could chance this later,) I've also thought about her falling for Obi-Wan (Which would take him by surprise) I don't know that is up in the air.
The war still happens and Obi-Wan Anakin still fight in it but not as generals or anything cause they are not Jedi, but they are always ready to help with relief missions.
Somehow they defeat Palpatine, but I don't know how yet.
Sorry this is so long, I didn't realize how many words my daydreaming would take up.
Put "📘" or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I'll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven't written but daydream about.

Anakin with a twin sister reader who stayed loyal to the light side of the force and tried to keep him from falling. When they meet years later with him as vader she instantly knows it's him and doesn't bother fighting back. Not out of love but bitter disapointment in him for all he's done. Pushing his buttons to mess with him and get him to wake up. "Do you think mom would be proud of you? Even if you got padme back, would SHE want you back? End me then brother, if you are really so far gone.."
Oof ouch!! If not Obi Wan or Padme, then it’s sis! 🥺🥲💔❤️‍🩹
Tumblr media
You had thought you lost track of him, even in the farthest part of the galaxy. Yet your brother and his Inquisitors were still able to find you.
You were tired. Exhausted. All of your life since the Fall of the Republic had been nothing but running and hiding, no semblance of living as you used to.
He stood before you. It was his voice, his movement and mannerisms. But there was no soul or heart left in your brother. Only a black pit of despair.
“Look at you now, brother. Our mother, gone. Your love and my love. Our friends. All gone. The price you paid to keep us safe, and you’ve lost us, Anakin.”
“Anakin Skywalker is dead. Pray you don’t make the mistake as those who were foolish enough to try.”
You sighed in resignation.
“Even now when you speak….you’re still my brother. Come back. Come home. There are still reasons to turn.”

Directors cut ⭐️
lemon!!
okay so lemon is very special to me because it marks i think a major shift in my aesthetic and the way i write relationships. i'd gotten the idea for it years before when i had car problems, and i took it to an auto shop where i was assisted by a handsome young man who was also extremely sketchy and offered me 20% off if i paid with cash. as i went to the ATM, i thought, "this would make a great anidala fic."
i wasn't into writing anidala at the time (i think those were the bellarke years), but they're my oldest and ultimate favorite ship, so i knew it was only a matter of time before i would return to them. lo, the release of obi-wan kenobi renewed my long dormant anakin skywalker emotions and i decided to come back to my deranged mechanic fucker idea.
so i had a great time writing it, but i have fun writing most things so that's not strange. what continues to truly baffle me is the response i've received on it.
i've been posting fic for long enough, and i know my audience well enough, that i can generally accurately guess what kind of traffic and comments it will get. although i put a lot of work and effort into lemon, i figured it would have a small handful of readers who would leave kind and supportive comments while i posted each chapter, then when it was complete i would have my usual small uptick of readers who were waiting to binge it and a few more comments. but then, because anidala doesn't really have an active fandom and what fandom it does have doesn't seem to be interested in modern AUs, i assumed that would be it.
but readers seem to feel........very strongly about lemon. in the year it's been posted, i've gotten bursts of enthusiastic and thoughtful comments on it, well above and beyond my expectations. and i truly don't understand why. (it's not my best writing by a long shot, and re-reading it i cringe at a lot of the choices i made and that i would approach very differently now.) but the same is true of black-eyed, so i'm wondering if there's just a dearth of femdom modern aus in the world. or assertive submissive men with insane loyalty kink, maybe.
so the response to lemon continues to floor me, and like dirtbag, i hope to one day get back the insane writing energy i had in the latter half of 2022.

Half-Pass and Half-Pipes - An Obikin Olympics AU
read it on the AO3 at https://archiveofourown.org/works/48562267 by Eden Pierce (ChunChan11) Obi-Wan Kenobi would not consider himself a snob. But as a three-time Gold Medalist as part of the Jeddah Equipe, who is very much expected to bring home his forth Gold at the Coruscant Olympics, he cannot quite see something so uncivilized as Skateboarding be anything but a detriment to the quality of the Olympics as a whole. Enter Anakin Skywalker, two-times World Champion in the Street Event, fan- and bookkeeper favorite for the first ever Gold Medal for Olympic Skateboarding. How can these two do anything but butt heads when they meet in the Olympic village. Then again, they do say that opposites attract, don't they?

idle thought of the day:
Anakin with a tattoo of the Jedi Order's symbol really big across his back
He didn't set out that day intending to get any tattoo, let alone that one. No, he was just supposed to be out with Rex and some of their men, enjoying one of the rare stretches of peace they rarely experience during the war. They find a bar, they sit down, order drinks
And no one's really drunk. They're professionals and even if they're on leave, there's always a chance they'll get called up for an emergency. So no, no one's drunk, but they're just this side of tipsy. Enough in their systems to loosen up and have a good time.
Except Anakin who's only managed to smuggle himself a single drink he swiped from Rex because he's not only tonight's designated ride back, but also barely 20 and looser tongues have taken to ribbing him for "underage" drinking. Still, it's nice and fun and when they pile out sometime past midnight, no one's really itching to head back.
Finding a tattoo parlor isn't hard -- they tend to crop up everywhere large groups of clones frequent. It's a luxury, indulging in a professional shop when most of the men get theirs done by experienced brothers, but tonight they have time and credits and it'd be a shame to pass up the opportunity.
Anakin watches three troopers sit, or lay down, for new designs. Watches the group offer suggestions, teasing and joking and enjoying themselves in ways the war doesn't usually allow. And he's content to fade into the background a bit until one of them drags him right into the spotlight.
"What about you, General?"
He startles, ten pairs of eyes -- eleven counting the pantoran tattoo artist -- suddenly staring at him. Anakin shrugs. He's never thought about it, and when that becomes clear enough his men are all too happy to contribute their own ideas.
It's a mix of teasing and cajoling nothing serious behind it until the pantoran arches a brow and asks if he's next as soon as the last person's vacated the chair.
He didn't come for a tattoo. Didn't plan on doing anything more than spend a night out with the men he fights alongside. Maybe it's the good humor in the air or the way some of them watch him, all wide-eyed excitement and grinning, but he takes a step forward. And another. And another until he's in the chair and someone he doesn't see whoops. That sets off another round of excited chattering, ideas being tossed back and forth.
He listens, laughing along with them at the more outrageous suggestions, and feels his lightsaber shift against his leg when he moves to sit a little more comfortably. The idea strikes light lightning -- quick and impulsive.
"The Jedi's symbol," he says, turning to the pantoran who nods and sets to work once Anakin's -- technically Rex who pulls it up on the net, some piece of propoganda where Obi-Wan's pauldron is clearly visible -- given him an image to work with.
It's simple, just a black outline, but he grins the moment the pantoran lets him up and shows it to him in the mirror. A few of the men clap him on the shoulder, congratulating him on his first taste of ink until Rex steps in and herds them all out once the credits have been paid and the necessary bacta applied.
They stop only for a moment, snapping a quick holo of Anakin and the three troopers with their new tattoos on display, before shuffling off for blissful sleep.
(Anakin gets a copy of the picture sent to him and keeps it on a special datapad full of pictures of the people he cares about most.)
Nothing changes afterward, back on the Resolute II and heading off to their next battle, but if there's a smattering of the 501st with the outline of the Order's symbol painted large and proud in blue on their armor's backplates, well. That's simply one of the many quirks unique to Anakin's batallion.

i love when i see hanleia posts talking about how their bickering/butting heads is not because they are "toxic" but because they both see each other more honestly than the other one wants because it's.... so important to me
like leia KNOWS he is a good man under the bluster. he can't abandon people, even when he tries really hard to. his heart is so big, and he HATES IT. and she sees it and he HATES THAT MORE, because it's vulnerable and she just gets right to the heart of him in one (1) millisecond
but because of all that. he KNOWS she loves him. like most ardently, most annoyingly, LOVES him, and that the feeling is so big that she doesn't have any time or bandwidth to even begin to process it
and when he presses her buttons and gives voice to the feeling she is resolutely ignoring, she gets SOOO annoyed because he sees her so clearly and then he has the audacity to be smug about it!!!! as if it wasn't trying enough
and throughout esb leia is trying to get han to admit he is a good man and han is trying to get leia to admit she loves him (except those two things are contingent on each other, leia loves him in part because he is a good man, and han is a good man in part because someone loves him so fiercely, so to admit one is to acknowledge the other, and even though they both want to be Right, they also both HATE being seen)
but then she is losing him!! and because he's sacrificing himself for them, she knows he can't run from being a good man anymore. and she can't run from her feelings either. so she says "i love you"
and when han says "i know" instead of i love you, its maybe a small part tongue in cheek i told so, because he is a smug bastard, but mostly him saying im glad you got here too. ive been waiting
so in the end, han admits he is a good man by making sure chewie will protect leia
and leia admits she loves him
and he says i know. because he has the whole time. and he's so glad she does

thots on obi-wan kenobi, which i refuse to call the show as a whole, because kenobi sounds neater:
That opening montage of the prequels?? A-fucking-mazing. Every shot every quote the music?? Chef's kiss. The episode paid for itself within five minutes
Order 66 again has me feeling things, it looked great, I'm just waiting for how that scene becomes pertinent - one of the younglings is Reva??? Perhaps?? Does she hate Kenobi because she saw Anakin at the temple and blames his master?? Even though she knows that Vader is Anakin and works for him??
Reva needs a lot of character work for her to even start to intimidate me as an Inquisitor. Like why are they letting her in the field?? Is she a good duelist?? Is she powerful?? She 'came to them' but the superhard Kenobi hunt that she's obsessed with doesn't impress me since we haven't seen her in action against anyone who's an actual threat
Like the Grand Inquisitor gives her waaaaaay more second chances than I would expect a Sith to be cool handing out to an unrespected underling. Like don't do this cool thing but I will in no way be restraining you. He deserved to get stabbed for thinking that he had done enough to make Reva fold
If anything, the Inquisitor's introduction/work on Tatooine coulda been way more impactful. Like the Grand Inquisitor gives a speech about how Awesome and Nice and Helpful the Jedi are, expecting that to make the people who are being helped by them hand them over?? It works for telling the audience in no uncertain terms that the Jedi are Good but it doesn't work in-universe as an intimidation tactic
Bail. Bail Bail Bail Bail Bail Bail Bail Bail
I'm curious how much of the season will be the quest to return Leia to Alderaan - will they stop on Tatooine? Will this explain how Obi-Wan gets his homestead from New Hope?
We're one third of the way in. Three act structure??

A New Thought
Concept Au: Based during the Kenobi show, where a possible vampire cowboy Anakin helps Obi-Wan get away from Darth Vader/The main universe Anakin.
I personally don't know how I got the idea other then, "I like vampires, and cowboys. Why not make Anakin both and help save Kenobi?"
At first though, he was just a vampire that traveled universes to help different not evil versions of Obi-Wan, where he couldn't help in his own universe. He still does, I just added Outlaw vampire cowboy that steals from rich people to give to the poor and easily kills bad people, paid for or not. He's lived for so long he doesn't care about money to the list of what he is.
About his past:
He's an Ex-Sith Lord that also went by the name as Darth Vader, he was a warlord and a strategist. He went into hiding after a battle had gone wrong, his master then turned his back on him and it taught him how to question what you believe in. Question absolutely everything, your beliefs, your superiors, what knowledge you already have-
He went into hiding after that battle, contacted the Jedi order after a few long centuries, to possibly regain faith within himself and what he knows in the force.
By this point he is a few hundred years old and didn't remember much of what, living was, or well being human or having actual friends/family.
In hopes that the Jedi would take up his call for possible help in regaining ability to believe he can do good with what powers he has, He gave himself into research, even if he already knows the topics by heart. He wanted to gain trust of the Jedi order, and trust he found.
He gave the order insights into his ex-masters plans and what they were doing and planning to do.
He was proud that he gained the trust of the people who hated his guts, and before he knew it even he was surprised how much he actually fit in to the place.
The council, once he finished his tests that he was no longer a sith and fully crossed into the light side of the force. He was given a name, Anakin Skywalker. A name he could call his very own, a title that wouldn't be boring to him as he lived. Since it was gained by hardships and work to gain trust of the people he now helped and fought for.
Time skip to the time of The Phantom Menace: (In this au it's very different)
At this time stamp, instead of Anakin being the Padawan, Kenobi is.
Anakin was sent to retrieve Kenobi from an orphanage but when he arrived it was burned to a crisp. Only a few survived, one or two badly wounded, and Kenobi standing in front of everything blaming himself for what happened. When Anakin talked to the worked that survived, they explained that the fire was uncontrollable, like it was purposely made to kill everyone within.
It made Anakin a little worried for young Kenobi, so he had nodded to the worker and walked over to the boy.
Anakin stand over a foot or so away from Kenobi, letting the child have space. Even though he could sense that Kenobi already knew of his presence.
"Obi-Wan? I am Anakin Skywa-"
Kenobi cut him off by turning to him with a face he would never forget.
"I told him not to do it! That not everyone would get out in time! I should have stopped him, but I didn't know what to do!"
Kenobi instantly ran and grabbed Anakin's robes, tears rolling down his cheeks, snot running from his nose. Anakin bent down and picked the boy up, hugging him and trying to shush him. But Kenobi yelled into Anakin's shoulder, hugging him back.
"I wasn't strong enough to stop him! Why wasn't I strong enough!? I could have saved everyone from this if I was!"
Anakin stood there hugging the boy as a father would, calming and gently patting the boys back. As Kenobi did settle down, Anakin gently hummed.
"I am sorry, for what you've gone through Obi-Wan. But I can sense that you are strong, so strong that I am here for the very reason of your strength."
Kenobi sniffled and looked at him, whipping a tear from his face.
"what do you mean?"
Anakin smiled warmly at the child in his arms, "I could sense that you already knew of my presence before I arrived here. Most cannot do that Obi-Wan. It comes with the power of the force, the very power both you and I share. If you learn how to use it, you will become stronger then you already are."
After bringing Obi-Wan back to the Jedi temple, only once Obi-Wan agreed to learn about and wield the power he has. Anakin was selected to be his Master.
(Much more happened after, I just want more time to think on it)
Time Skip to the Clone Wars:
Obi-Wan and Anakin were amazing to watch as they fought, both strong and quick with their sabers. They happily trained, easily read and studied the books within the archives.
But as the War went on Obi-Wan, questioned the Jedi on why their beliefs were so strict, why they had to have young kids to train instead of anyone of any age be taught at their own will. Anakin out of everyone showed him that feelings are okay, love is okay. Obi-Wan knew that Anakin understood what he was questioning, why he was questioning it. Just why?
Obi-Wan fell in love with Padmé throughout the war, by the end of it they were happily married with the full support of Anakin. Anakin making sure the council didn't give them shit.
As a last act, the separatists set a trap on a decoy ship that killed Padmé and Obi-Wan in a deadly explosion a few months after the war had officially ended.
Anakin left the Jedi but on his own terms, without giving up his saber promising he would come back. (He never did)
The Present:
Now Anakin, after years of helping different versions of Obi-Wan throughout different universes. Most not even knowing he was there in the first place. He lands in the main universe, on tatooine.
🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥🟥
Extra:
Hopefully y'all like this idea that I've had in my head for a couple days now, this is a concept Idea that is not whatsoever done so do be nice.
I do plan on adding more and drawing what I think this Anakin would look like, maybe write how Kenobi would react to meeting a non evil Anakin or "Ex Evil" as well. If you get inspired to do anything with this au, be sure to tag me!! I would love to see the stuff you make!
I do want to know your thoughts or even questions if you have any as well. My asks should be open if you do actually have any questions about this concept Au to learn or to just help build it.

For character opinion bingo, Obi-Wan? :D
Obi Wan! Yes!!!
I have so many opinions about Obi Wan.
Tumblr media
I feel like fanon depictions tend to polarise him. He's either a sad wet cat defenceless as fate continues to torture him, doing whatever the Jedi want him to do because he doesn't know any better (or else is too self conscious to argue, or else he's unbelivabley bad ass, unstoppable, always with the right sarky comeback, above the Jedi, doing his own thing. Respectfully lol I couldn't disagree more with either side. I think attempting to fit characters in to one box flattens them. Humans aren't black and white. I understand where each of these extreme portrayals finds its roots. In canon Obi does do certain things that seem to indicate some kind of insecurity (and his backstory explains where that might have come from) but we usually see him acting very sure of himself and at times even arrogant.
Like most people. I don't think he's sure of himself all the time even if he does promote an image of someone who has it all figured. But he's also not unable to look after himself. I find Obi Wan a really fun character cause to me, he does have an unintended impact on people around him and does occasion inadvertently contribute to things that ultimately hurt him. A lot of the time it can be hard to talk about Obi Wan in this way cause ppl fall back on 'oh but it isn't his fault' but it's not about blame. Everyone does things they don't intend sometimes. Everyone occasionally makes a mistake that'll hurt them down the line, and possibly hurt those around them.
I like to see Obi Wan as someone who is sure of themselves, but who has some personal blindspots. He's exceptionally competent but that's thanks to his own hard work, he's no not a prodigy, he's worked for the knowledge he holds and he's respected by his people because of that. Professionally, he has mastered himself, he has control over his emotions, he is able to see things for what they are. But in certain areas of his personal life he struggles and he doesn't even see that he struggles. His relationship to Anakin, his inability to stop him, the fact that he only stopped him when pushed to his absolute limit and even then, he couldn't remain detached enough to be fair, to Anakin, or to the galaxy. He didn't want to be the one to land the final blow so he left Anakin to die, and they all paid for that. I like to think this unhealthy attachment is rooted in the unhealthy attachment Obi wan had with his own master. He felt he could never do right where qui gon was concerned (even if this wasn't true) and so he doesn't tell Anakin he IS wrong, when it matters. He's avoidant. Anakin may feel that he can do no right when it comes to obi wan, thanks to obi wan picking at the small stuff, but in reality, Obi Wan lets him get away with so much. He doesn't push when he should because he knows he won't like the answer, he knows it'll be difficult and he'll have to face up to his attachment to Anakin. This isn't a Jedi flaw, we see that other Jedi do manage to do better than qui gon, Obi Wan, and anakin himself, as masters. But ultimately they are human. These are human flaws.
It's not about blame and its certainly not about absolving Anakin or anyone else of responsibility. But Obi wan isnt perfect. And I wouldn't want him to be. As a character his imperfections make him seem human. I think that he does struggle to let go, he pushes people away because he knows that when it matters, he won't be able to let them go, like he knows he should, like he teaches.
And I'll stop now because I've talked about him for way too long. But yeah! I have many many thoughts about obi wan lol and I'm so glad you asked! He's never come up in these games before and I feel I don't get to talk about my thoughts on him so often
Thank you!

sienna dreams of the jedi temple. the temple spires as the coruscant sun began setting, the bustling hallways with conversations echoing down their lengths, the family she once claimed as her own. the jedi code had once been etched into her bones, a lightsaber clung to her side as its confirmation. [a person isn't born a monster— they never are. they become a monster over time, over events & choices.] over the years, the temple continuously becomes more blurred & faded until, she surmises, she no longer sees it. [she begs for the day— the day she's free from the noose hung around her neck. it doesn't come.]
seated in the kitchen, a coffee mug is in her grip & brought up to her lips, the steam billowing from the top. she takes a sip, numb to the burning— it's always too hot & never sweet enough. after nearly two years, she'd hoped obi-wan would have gotten better at preparing it. [or maybe he hoped she'd get used to it & stop complaining. she has.] deep breath inhaled, eyes fixated on the wall across her, it's a reminder of the veneer of a reality they live. domestic bliss, the mask they'd made up for two children born into a world of a made-up empire & dead liberty. they did it for the children.
@wsteros' words break her out of thought— a surprise to both her ears & heart, her gaze breaking from the mug of coffee in front of her. ❝ dozens of years, countless sacrifices. it all paid off, thanks to you. ❞
the jedi code is an itch. no matter how hard you scrub, you'll never wash it from your hands. jedi will forever live & breath it. [you can never wash blood off your hands either. they will always be painted red with the pile of bones to prove it.] she'd done it out of the goodness of a stygian heart. this wasn't her life to live, but it'd become her life without choice. she did it for the children. [for the stolen childhood she never had, for the childhood they would have never experienced.] empty nesters, their faux life was coming to a cease. their mission had been completed. it was now time to rest.
Tumblr media
emotionless stare, her jaw clenches, shoulders tensing as she shifts in the chair— discomfort evident. another sip is taken of the coffee, only this time, a burning sensation crawls up her throat. ❝ drink your coffee before it gets cold. ❞ a mute thank you is blurred between the lines.

🌤️Share your favorite piece of dialogue from your WIP.
“Obi-Wan,” Anakin rasped. “I-I can’t see.
“Carbon sickness,” Obi-Wan told him, voice gentle. “It’ll take time for your senses to settle.”
“What happened? I don’t… I don’t remember…” Anakin wanted to reach out to Obi-Wan, but his limbs and even the Force just… weren’t cooperating. He had all the strength of a boiled noodle.
“It’ll come back to you in time. For now, Anakin… just rest.”
If Obi-Wan was there, then Anakin was safe. So he did as asked.
Anakin slipped into sleep.
From my Jedi in the Carbonite fic. Anakin has no idea what he's woken up to yet, just that if Obi-Wan's there then he's okay.
Unfortunately what he doesn't realize is that Obi-Wan's not at his most stable at the moment...
🌩️ Share something funny/cracky from your WIP.
So for Tales of Vesperia, one of the fics I'm working on - mostly in the planning stages but there's a bit written - is about Prince Ioder having been kidnapped. This is part of a larger AU where Alexei's insurrection goes quite differently from canon (amongst other things), so Zagi has been put in charge of Ioder's kidnapping.
Zagi is an assassin, kidnapping is beneath him, is he really getting paid enough for this? Ioder might actually be able to work with this. Ioder's been the one kidnapped... but Zagi is the one stuck with him.
Meanwhile Flynn's been sent on a wild goose chase involving a missing trade caravan to keep him away from the capital during the insurrection since he would not throw his loyalty in with the Commandant. And of course, in trying to keep Flynn away from the action until its all over... he winds up right in the path of Zagi and Ioder anyway.
Zagi's a bit of a weirdo, so playing him off Ioder gives me a chance to show a side of Ioder that we don't really see directly in the game. The ability to size someone up and manipulate them. In this case he's having to figure out what Zagi wants and how to either get free or turn the assassin to his side... and all while being more than a little distracted by the fact that his nose itches and he cannot do anything about it because his hands are tied behind his back.
It's all meant to be a bit sillier than the fics that precede it, which have been largely about Yuri and Estelle fleeing the capital together and Raven rallying troops still loyal to Prince Ioder and Princess Estellise. I wanted to take it as a chance to finally flesh out Ioder's personality beyond what the game gives us. And, honestly, it'd be pretty hilarious if, by the time Flynn comes to rescue Ioder... Ioder and Zagi were friends.
☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?
So i do have a Red Dwarf idea that, for now, is languishing over in my Plot Bunny Adoption Agency, where I've put the bits and pieces of some of the fics that I've started but concluded I'll probably never actually finish.
It starts with the aftermath of Rimmerworld and exploring Rimmer's trauma there and the fact that he barely remembers the rest of the crew. Having to settle back in and deal with the fact that things he used to care about - promotions at a job that hasn't existed in millenia - don't really matter to him any more. He's never going to impress his parents... he barely remembers them and they're deader than he is since at least he's a hologram.
There'd be some new adventures in between the end of Rimmerworld and the start of the episode Out of Time. The introduction of Hogey the extremely bored simulant, Arnold demanding the Cat help him pick out new clothes, and Emohawk encounter that reveals just how depressed Rimmer's been (and hiding it) since the events on Rimmerworld... and a change in the friendship between Arnold and Dave that might just lead to something else. (Do I ship Rimmer/Lister? Well... yes.)
After a somewhat AU take on Out of Time, Rimmer and Lister would, tentatively have gotten together... and that's when alt!Kristine shows up and gets stuck in their universe. And while they do get a visit from Ace Rimmer, it's the newly minted Ace from the show timeline, who offers to help take Kristine home... only to get yoinked away to another reality before he can. Whoops.
Lister and Rimmer wind up having to work out jealousy issues both over Kristine and the return of Rimmer's one-off love interest from the holo-ship.
I actually had a lot of ideas for this, but I think I was struggling a bit much to get their voices right. I would still love to write this fic or pick it apart and reuse it to write other stories. So you never know, maybe it'll be rescued from the plot bunny heap one day.

Listen the kid literally nicknamed snips doesn't really need any lessons on how to be rude to someone but regardless I think she would have picked up a few quips and tricks from the men soooo
Ways Ahsoka mouths off and posture that she learned from her brothers&Obi-wan:
Purposefully calling someone the wrong name. This is highly offensive to the clones.
Sliding her goggles on while someone is trying to give her directions. In a way that lets them know she's ignoring them.
Randomly shifting to parade rest while someones telling a long story or carrying on a conversation she doesn't want to be in anymore. This is because parade rest is an at attention/waiting to be dismissed position. She's literally asking "can I go now?"
Being overly compliant in a "yes sir", " right away", "roger", kinda way. Just interrupting instruction to say this shit. " would that be all?", "at your service"
She has absolutely just turned the volume down on a transmission and pretended that they lost audio and couldn't complete the call. Anakin does this in his fighters.
She has adopted so many facial expressions. Shes got wolffe's 'kill me now' face down. And Cody's subtle resting bitch face. Obi-wan's condescendingly patient face that makes it clear you're wasting her time. And best of all Anakin's 'are you fucking kidding me' face.
She has absolutely just taken her saber off her belt and started dissasembling it instead of listening to someone talk. It serves the dual purpose of a threat and a dismissal. Especially since she has a second saber at the ready. She's seen Rex pull this many times with his dc-17s.
Randomly kicking her feet up, leaning back, and resting her chin on her hand seems to convey the exact level of 'please shut up' that Obi-wan has cultivated.
She has offered to fix someone tea then just left, presumably to get the tea, but never came back.
Even though the rudeness factor doesn't really translate she does a lot of complimenting people on how nice and clean their clothes are if she's decided to completely ignore their plan/ strategy. In other words implying they're unqualified or too pampered to be giving orders. Kinda a reference to shinys and non-clone officers who never get out to the front.
This one is inherited from way back because Qui-gon used to just shift into a meditation instead of listening to someone telling him what to do, Obi-wan has done the same shit and on one occasion so has Ahsoka.
She's quick with the "that's above my rank." Essentially 'I'm not paid enough for that.'
Or "I'll consult my master." When she doesn't want to do something. Like Anakin isn't going to make her but you can't tell her 'no don't ask your guardian for permission, just do it' cuz that's real skeevy.
"I already have my orders." And "I have a job to complete first." Are also good way of telling someone no:)
