There’s Something About Ben

(A “There’s Something About Mary” AU)

Anakin’s hands were shaking.

He gripped his cup - one of those ridiculously overpriced styrofoam monstrosities that cost way too much money but was too pretty to resist, especially when one was already a weak, weak man as Anakin Sywalker sometimes was, especially for things with both sparkles and chocolate - in both hands. The prosthetic on his right was always a bit more steady than his left, which meant that it probably wasn’t so much his hands that were shaking but him that was shaking.

He huffed and took a forced sip. The drink was too hot for sure, but he hardly noticed the burn. He was too nervous, too anxious, too -

He looked up when the little bell on the coffee shop door rang and then slumped back in defeat.

Maul was late.

Anakin pulled his phone out of his pocket. The home screen - a picture of him, Ahsoka and Artoo, faces smushed together, each wearing a ridiculous hat - greeted him as he thumbed open the lock. Maul had texted him an hour ago saying he had some emergency news, and Anakin had been out the door in record time, his mind going a million miles an hour with all the possibilities.

He was just about to fire off another text when the bell rang again, and in walked Arthur Maul, private investigator and the man Anakin had hired to help find the long lost love of his life.

Maul wore a black motorcycle jacket and high combat boots, and his face was always perpetually red as though he had been out in the cold. He spotted Anakin and nodded to him, coming over to the little table where Anakin had sequestered himself, throwing down a large duffle bag. He reached out and snagged the coffee from Anakin’s hands and brought it to his nose.

“Ugh, is that peppermint?” He pushed the cup back to Anakin - who held it closer to his chest protectively. “No thanks.”

“I got your message,” Anakin said, trying not to let his impatience shine through.

“Huh? Oh yeah.” Maul leaned over the table and into Anakin’s space.

Anakin fought not to rear back. Maul always smelled terrible, like some unfortunate combination of Axe body spray and Lysol. Anakin made his eyes focus on Maul’s, bloodshot and jaundiced, instead of his odd hairstyle that looked like a badly maintained mohawk.

“I’m retiring.”

Anakin blinked at him, forgetting all out the man’s poor fashion choices. “Excuse me?”

“Yeah, I’ve decided to hang it up and move out West.” Maul gestured to the duffle bag. “I’m leaving tonight.”

Anakin’s mouth dropped open. “But - but what about my case? What about -?”

“See that’s what I wanted to talk to you about. You paid a lot of money for this, and I didn’t want to leave without first giving you my report.”

Anakin’s heart kicked. “So you did find him?“ Maul nodded. Anakin fidgeted, his chest filling with all sorts of emotions that couldn’t be named. He took a bracing sip of coffee. “How…how is he doing?”

“Not too bad,” Maul said, and Anakin sighed in relief. Until Maul added, “He looks pretty good for a guy who just got out of prison.”

Anakin choked.

“Prison?” he coughed.

“Mmhmm.” Maul leaned back in his chair, drumming his fingers on the tabletop. “They have him wearing one of those big ugly ankle monitors. You know the ones? Frankly, I’m not sure what damage they think a guy with only one leg can do, but what do I know.”

Anakin was lightheaded. “He has one leg? What happened?”

Maul shrugged. “I didn’t ask. Probably something to do with the drugs.”

“There are drugs?”

“Oh yeah. Your boyfriend got himself mixed up in all kinds of trouble. I was surprised they let him out of prison at all, but apparently the judge had a soft spot for guys with early onset male pattern baldness.”

Bald. Obi-Wan was bald? For some reason, Anakin couldn’t reconcile this in his mind with the image he’d been carrying all these years. Obi-Wan always had such beautiful hair - long and thick and the more gorgeous color, like burnished copper.

But he supposed that it wasn’t that uncommon for men to go bald in their twenties. And he never really cared about looks anyway. He glanced down at his hand and thought about the scar that now bisected half his face. A lot had happened, to both of them, it sounded like.

Anakin sighed and set his shoulders. “I’d still like to see him,” he said deteriminedly. “I - maybe I can help him.” He could try, at least.

Maul frowned at him and raised an eyebrow. He sighed dramatically, leaning further into Anakin’s space.

“Look kid. You seem real nice so I’m going to give you some advice.” He ignored Anakin’s scowl. “You’re young. You’ve got your whole life ahead of you. Don’t spend it thinking about some guy who probably doesn’t even remember you exist.” His mouth twitched a bit at the corners and he sat back, satisfied, as Anakin’s face fell.

I’m twenty nine year’s old, he thought. It had been fifteen years, and Anakin Skywalker had never stopped thinking about Obi-Wan “Ben” Jinn.

(Spoiler alert: Obi-Wan does not have any of those things lol.)

(Maybe I’ll add more - this was fun!)

The movie ‘There’s Something About Mary’ is objectively horrifying to me

Like I’m sorry this poor woman emits a near siren’s aura. Her kindness and beauty leaves her a trail of stalkers and creeps. Men who are just complete con artists making up identities to get close to her. She had to change her last name and spent years in court bc her first ever high school bf wouldn’t let her be.

Like the man who is meant to be with her in the end, our protagonist, who is the most normal about his absolute adoration for Mary- its still him being driven by a burning need he feels to reconnect with her 13 years zero contact and hires a ‘PI’ to find her. And then lies about having stumbled into her casually. Hes just rhe best out of the bunch.

#absolute nightmare scenario #shes a sporty attractive doctor who then spends her free time at the care facility her autistic brother lives at #like yeah poor Mary is an amazing woman surrounded by the worst of the male specjes #there’s something about Mary

Griffin Dunne in a an article from TWO magazine circa 1999. Oddly enough, the seller on eBay didn't include a month or year for this issue.

The paragraph in the left clipping reads: "Griffin Dunne lives in New York City, but several months of the year he shares an apartment in Westwood, Calif., with a good friend, Charlie Wessler [producer of Dumb & Dumber and Green Book], and that's where I photographed him. This is Charlie's Border terrier, and he's famous. He's the same dog that terrorized Ben Stiller in THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY. Griffin came across as very proper at first, but after a few pictures he loosened up and we laughed nonstop. He is alert and well educated, and the apartment was filled with paintings and books. Griffin has a dry sense of humor, and he's so smart you can't resist him. As for the dog, he's pure muscle."

The blurb in the right clipping reads: "If I knew that, l'd fall in love over and over again. Hearts aren't supposed to be mended. If you fall in love and it doesn't work out, you get a broken heart. What comes out of that will make you a better lover and partner the next time."

I've seen the latter quote attributed to Dunne across the Internet numerous times, but this was the first time I was able to attribute it to a substantial source.

Another oddity is that no photographer(s) are attributed to either picture.

I will edit this caption the minute I get more information.

Birds of a Feather previous / next

#my art #feralnette au #birds of a feather #long tags #sorry I went apeshit in the tags #LETS SAY IT ALL TOGETHER NOW #I - M - A - G - OOOOOOOOO #its fun drawing marinette's back to Alya and having her appear stout and unstoppable and totally logical #and then you see her face and she's like two seconds from completely snapping and is keeping it together by a thread #as a note just because mari feels very certainly abt smth doesnt mean she's right. feelings can be valid and also irrational #in the throes of grief she decided it was better to be alone than to lose someone again so she started pulling away #and lila made pulling away very very very easy to do #shes also vaguely aware she's being unfair in pinning this on alya which is why she started spinning the drain on cockmoth again #legitimately all the shit that's happened to her wouldn't have been so catastrophic if he was never in the picture and she knows it #but the bitterness of her bestie choosing a fantastic liar over her at the worst of times stiiiiiings #alya's personal timing was bad but lila really took advantage of the fact that marinette had been acting off and weird #she basically clocked marinette as being unstable from SOMETHING and made up a lie about her #knowing she wouldn't have the strength to defend herself #between her social life going tachy bc of lila and losing fu in a way that felt like personhood death marinette was really put on the spot #and alya doing her thing of busting in there and assuming her bias is correct was a terrible combo #essentially marinette is highly unstable and alya is just realizing that #busting in and giving her a lecture when she's slightly hysterical and definitely delirious from exhaustion is NOT the way #to show her she's self sabotaging #cuz thats just gonna make her double down on self sabotaging. bc marinette will not accept that she is also a CHIIIIILD

something i keep thinking about is who mary is to sam. she didn't raise him; he doesn't know her except through the stories john and dean told him. she exists in pictures and print, not in memories. she's a stranger to him, yet his entire life has revolved around her. he seeks revenge for a woman he's never met or known or loved. she's just a secondhand god to a nonbeliever, omnipresent but never actually there, never actually touched or held or shared. he's outside the church looking in on the mass but never able to partake. it must be alienating, for your family to have known god while you're left only to your own faith.

#supernatural #sam winchester #sam's relationship to mary reminds me of like. growing up in the bible belt #there's an article i read a while back about how the south is haunted by christ #everpresent and distorted in a way you can never escape from. something that defines you no matter what you believe #i like to think sam is haunted by mary in the same way #.txt #sam #the winchester gospel #spn posting
