#they don’t communicate properly

[tennessoui]

Hiiiiiii

So, I just read the majority of your fics and just. Wow. Wow Kit, wow. I only got into this fandom a few months ago and your fics have really gotten me involved in the prequel side of Star Wars.

So, I’ve got three questions. First, have you thought about writing a second fic for the throat fic au??? I really love how you’ve written the reverse ages for Obikin. Second, I just finished reading your road-trip au in one sitting and omfg they stress me the fuck out. How big of a train wreck will it be when Obikin confess to one another? Cause let’s be honest here, they’re terrible at communication and the amount of misunderstanding in every one of their conversations is just ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Like come on guys, communicate for once, for your sanity and ours. Third, I have also read and reread your fic “building a boat with no blueprints” and omfg that one is amazing. I love how you’ve written Obi-Wan having to deal with two different sides of Anakin (in a way, the light and the dark - did you know he spent first 23 years in the light as a Jedi and another 23 years as Vader? I read about this from another user and I was like ?!?!?!!!!!). Is there any future for that fic? How much trouble will Vader be in when Obi-Wan sees him again.

Sorry for the long post, but I truly love your fics and will continue to love everything that you post in the future! Best of luck with college (I think you said you were writing a thesis at some point???) and work!

ahh thank you!! This is so sweet of you to say, I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed my fics so much! ngl i sat on this ask a bit to reread it 🥰 I love to hear when newcomers find my fics. It’s like double serotonin: a) you like my writing and b) newcomer!!! new comer to obikin!!! hello 🥹

as for your questions, let me answer as best I can!

throat fic: I absolutely have! I am actually currently writing a second fic, told from vaderkin’s pov and starting from even before he met obi-wan (in a loose vague sort of way) my personal problem with sequels and also why I have never written one successfully (pbatmb not counted) is because I’m so caught up in copying the style of the first fic that I stall out. I really liked how in the original throat fic, there were flashbacks and present moments and the reader knew the present moments because they all started with the same sentence (“obi-wan had never seen so much blood”) and I keep being like what is anakin’s never seen so much blood!!! and like the truth is anakin’s fic does not have to follow the style of obi-wan’s but in my mind they do and that’s something I have to overcome lol

but no a throat fic sequel would definitely involve Vader being super weird about obi-wan and then go more into their future than obi-wan’s story did. like about how they make their love for each other work when Vader can’t unfall and obi-wan can’t bring himself to completely abandon the Jedi tenets his master taught him 😌

road trip au fic: I promise it gets worse before it gets better lmao and I still want to finish that fic this year. I’ve talked a lot here on tumblr about how it’ll pan out, which I’m about to rehash so skip this part if you want to be completely spoiler free: basically they get to Seattle and obi-wan tells anakin to like. Wait in the hotel room or something cause he doesn’t want anakin to see what set looks like cause that’s a dead giveaway that obi-wan was thinking of anakin when fucking set. Only of course anakin doesn’t listen. Of course he trails after him to see what this set looks like and of course he freaks when he sees set looks just like him. which all leads to a tearful argument (confession) in their hotel room where anakin is like ‘i just can’t understand why you chose him? Is it because his hair is darker?? Is it because his eyes are blue is it because he’s broader in the shoulders? what is it about me that you just can’t love even when I’ve been here, loving you, for years? I’ll change it. I’ll change anything’ and obi-wan is like what. and anakin is like. what. and obi-wan is like. what do you mean you love me??? etc etc

burn every bridge fic: ah I love that fic!! I actually wrote a continuation in my ao3 fic called “although it’s been said many times many ways”. It’s a gratuitously holiday cliched fic, but it’s a continuation of those two if you want to read it! I don’t think there’s an actual sequel there for me, but if you like my reverse age stuff you should also check out the behemoth that foolproof foolhardy became & I pray the same but my gods have changed & if you love me let it remain unnamed (trust me on the last one and also only read for the vibes)

#asks #obikin #thank you sm again!! #this is so self centered of me but I love seeing my fics through fresh eyes #cause I’m like eh it’s been years and also I have turned this ira #idea* over and over in my head so it’s a smooth pebble vs a dynamic stone #and then you’re like I love the roadtrip au #and I’m like #omg the roadtrip au!!! #they don’t communicate properly #it drives me crazy!!! #also I decided like last October that the foolproof foolhardy summary needs work #cause that’s one of my #worst summaries #but will I ever work on it ? probably not #just trust me here and read it it’s a good take on master Skywalker & padawan obi-wan but with a few twists

[the-broken-pen]

“You’re going to blow out your arms,” the villain observed. They watched as the hero merely grit their teeth, shoving themself through another pull-up. It looked painful, and if the sweat slicking the hero’s brow was any indication, it was.

They waited for the hero to let themself drop from the bar and accept the villain was stronger. But they didn’t.

Three more pull-ups, and the villain stepped in.

“Hero,” they said slowly. “You’re about to tear the ligaments in your arms. You need to stop.”

The hero blew out a shuddering breath. Struggled for purchase, fighting gravity—and let themself drop.

The hero’s hands were bleeding, calluses torn open by the bar. The hero didn’t seem bothered when their own hands shook so much that their blood began to splatter on the gym floor.

For a moment, the villain could only stare at them.

Shit.

They didn’t know how to handle this. They knew the hero was dedicated. They knew the hero was strong, and perpetually trying to be stronger, but they hadn’t thought…

They hadn’t thought the hero would be so willing to tear apart their own body for success.

It was supposed to be fun, the villain thought. They felt a little sick as the hero pressed their palms together to soothe the bleeding, an action that was practiced and familiar. As if they had done this before.

The hero reached for something in their bag, smearing blood on the side, and pulled out a roll of blue electrical tape. The villain didn’t understand why, until the hero tore a strip off and made to wrap their hands with it.

The hero would be the death of them.

They crouched in front of the hero, plucking the electrical tape out of their hands.

“What are you doing with this?”

The hero blinked at the villain like they were the strange one in this situation.

“Wrapping my hands?”

The villain hissed in a breath.

“With electrical tape?”

The hero flushed slightly, looking down at their bloody hands. They looked close to tears.

“It…sticks to skin, really well. And it doesn’t move, either, when you move your hands or wherever else, even if you’re fighting. Plus, blood doesn’t make it come off, at least, not for a while.”

The villain blinked at them.”

“Blood doesn’t make it come off,” the villain repeated, processing. The hero nodded, reaching for the electrical tape. The villain settled it out of reach.

“Not if you wrap it right.”

Dimly, the villain realized that meant the hero had done this enough times to have it down to a science.

“And you couldn’t use a bandaid?” The villain asked incredulously. The hero shrugged a shoulder, then winced at the motion.

Yeah, the hero had absolutely blown out their arms.

“Bandaids move—“

The villain hushed them.

“Be quiet for a second.”

The hero, wisely, went quiet.

The villain rubbed a hand over their face, then studied the hero for a moment. They took one of the hero’s hands into their own, studying the damage.

“Why did you do this to yourself,” the villain murmured.

“What do you mean, why,” the hero snapped. “It’s my job.”

“Your job is to save people,” the villain corrected. “Not destroy yourself.”

“I’m not destroying myself—“

“You are.”

“Shut up—“

“Hero.”

“I need to be better,” the hero snapped. Their voice rang out across the gym, echoing into the rafters, and they both froze. After a moment, the hero spoke again, voice soft. “I need to be better.”

They said it like they needed the villain to understand. The villain wondered who they were really saying it to—the villain, or themself.

“Better than who?”

“Everyone.” It was hushed, like a secret.

The villain watched them, waiting.

The hero took a shaky breath

“My whole thing is being the best. I have always been the best. That’s the only reason I matter. If I’m not strong enough, then I am nothing, so I need. to be. better.”

The hero had started crying, very quietly, like they were afraid to take up too much space.

The villain was not equipped to handle gifted kid burnout.

“There’s more to you than just being a good athlete,” the villain said hesitantly, and the hero shook their head.

“No. There isn’t.”

“Hero.”

“Can you give me back my electrical tape?” They hiccuped to contain a sob.

“No,” the villain said firmly, and then the hero really was sobbing.

“You don’t understand—“

The villain didn’t. Not really. They had never been the kind of talented that the hero was.

They wondered now if maybe that was a blessing.

“I don’t,” the villain agreed. “But I do understand that you’ve saved half the city, and you give everything you have to give, and you always do your best.”

“But I-“

“No.” The villain stopped them. “You are doing your best.” They tipped the hero’s chin up until they met the villain’s eyes. “And it is enough.”

The hero froze, eyes darting over the villain’s face. They wondered if anyone had ever said that to the hero, if whatever mentor they had was giving them anything other than orders to be stronger. Be better. Be more.

The villain had some new targets to take care of, it would seem.

For now, though, they had to take care of hero.

“We’re going to go wrap your hands,” they said softly. “And then we’re going to take care of your arms, and you’re going to take a nap.”

The hero nodded, watching them like they were some kind of good, selfless person.

“And if I ever catch you using electrical tape again, so help me, I will put you six feet under.”

That startled a laugh out of the hero, and they let the villain guide them to their feet.

“Fine.”

The villain turned to them. “Okay?”

Are you going to be alright?

The hero seemed to understand.

“Okay,” the hero agreed.

Yes.

And so, it was.

I’m not a doctor but you can use electrical tape on wounds. yes it sticks. yes it stays. it’s honestly very useful. #electrical tape > bandaids #do not do anything listed here it is BAD. do not blow out your muscles it hurts. properly clean ur injuries.

Alright guys, hear me out:

When Epic finally gets on stage, there should be two levels to it. Like how in Hamilton, there’s the platform above the stage, kind of a like a balcony or walkway? And then it should be decorated to be like Olympus, and none of the humans or mortals ever go up there, it’s just the gods who sing down at all the measly heroes, and then sometimes they (mostly Athena) come down and actually talk to them, but most of the time it’s literally orders/reprimands coming from above.

#epic the musical #epic #the odyssey #odysseus #greek mythology #greek gods #musicals #don’t think I’ve managed to articulate my idea properly #no I can’t figure out how to communicate my ideas but I can use the word articulate #please use my idea #i’m literally begging #let this be what the stage looks like #Athena

Yes Alastor is fictional so you can attire whatever fanfiction you want, and of course aro/ace people can still have sex and really enjoy having sex.

But that’s not why you’re writing Alastor smut with sexualization, sexual attraction, and romantic attraction.

#you’re writing him like that because you don’t care that he’s aro/ace #and you don’t care to do any amount of research to properly write aro/ace characters #if this was ANY other sexuality #y’all would be throwing fits about fics like this #but you don’t care about asexuality and aromantism. #ands it’s really showing. #hazbin hotel #hazbin #alastor #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #lgbtq #sorry I’m just so mad about this #these parts of the community has so little representation and you have to take it for your own whims? #literally sexualize any other twink #aromantic asexual #asexuality #asexuel #asexual #aro ace #even if he’s just ace and not aro #lgbtqiia+

the thing i have the biggest beef with in the witcher netflix is the fact that the writers seem to. like. not like jaskier. like they make geralt be a dick to him “i’m not your friend” and then have geralt turn around and be friendly and affectionate with loads of other characters. moussack “old friend”, that flashback with eskel, “you’re important to me, triss” why can’t we get this same energy with jaskier. begging for a proper apology in season 3 that jaskier doesn’t have to basically fish out of geralt my dude deserves better

#i get that geralt is not good at communicating and was busy because of plot shit in s2 #but jaskier and geralt have know each other for over 20 years #jaskier has spent most of his adult life with geralt #(iirc jaskier was 18-20 ish when they met) #so for fucks sake pls show that geralt values jaskier and jaskiers friendship #please for the love of fuck #pls have geralt properly admit he was wrong and a dick #and stop having like almost every single character act like he’s annoying inconvenience #why do i always end up loving the comic relief character who is actually profoundly sad that the writers don’t seem to actually like #the witcher #jaskier #the witcher jaskier #geraskier #only sort of because i’m more pissed off at their whole dynamic from a platonic perspective #queer platonic geraskier #the way i feel about them cannot be explained by simple words like platonic or romantic #the witcher netflix

Sorry I’m bitter

#this could have been avoided #way back when Pomme left #if the higher ups #and this includes quackity #had communicated properly #and according to sunny and em’s admins #this is still an issue #I’m gonna be dead honest and say that #I do not have much faith anymore #I don’t know what happened behind the scenes #but the fact that 4 character admins left in one day #that isn’t a good sign #qsmp #qsmp neg #sorry I’m in my bitter arc #my hater arc #my little bitch arc #🤪🤪🤪

Had a shower thought about my ex not communicating with me properly one time and so I ended up in 2 relationships simultaneously because “ok fine” for my autistic ass was like a green light. I take things very literally sometimes. My other cooler ex (who I’m still on great terms with) telling me at the time that my toxic ex should have been more forward and literal knowing that’s how I communicate. Saying what I mean is my love language and how I function. I wear my heart on my sleeve 24/7 basically. That short lasting other relationship was still one of the most fulfilling I had in my younger years. 💜

#little story from my younger days; we were both polyam but my toxic ex and I both had communication issues #we were both hurt people hurting each other especially as time went on #I cried so many tears when they had to move away; I’m glad we’re still friends to this day even if we don’t chat as much #my less cool ex and I were the hurt people hurt people trope and it was codependent too #just to clarify #the more cool ex and I are on great terms and haven’t really fought it out over anything to this day and now they even have a kid #to all of my baby gays out there; stick by people who can communicate properly with you and don’t develope codependency on a friend pls #mine #OP #actually autistic #polyamory #polyam #polya #polyamorous

#ngl I would be very open to getting in a relationship with someone if people were as genuine and open minded as they think they are #but mfs just be overly selfish and evil spirited #and I’m way too sweet and kind of a person to deserve any type of treatment that they have to offer #like if you aren’t gonna respect boundaries or reciprocate the love that I give or communicate properly then what are we doing? #I’m getting older now I don’t have the patience for the games that these people be wanting to play #if you aren’t aligned with what I want in a relationship then go find someone else please #there are things that I look for and if you don’t fit those expectations then I won’t be with you #idc how fine or how sexy you are or how good of pussy you have or anything like that #I refuse to be in another relationship where my anxiety is running rampant because I feel like I’m not being valued or respected #random thoughts

Trying to listen to something about that small college in Florida Desantis took over for politics but hearing it described as it was before reminded me of college-hunting with my mom and triggered the shit out of me.

#School was just. #Around 9-11 school stopped being something I could manage and transitioned more to like #‘’Welcome to the world! This is hell and it lasts forever. At the bottom of our pit here you can see the churning toothsome maw which it #is your sisyphean task to crawl away from even as the loose dirt of the sloping pitsides crumbles beneath your hands and feet carrying you #ver closer. If you fail to escape the maw something that brings you pleasure in life will be taken from you and you will be reconstructed #and returned to the pit to fail again.’’ #Looking at residential colleges makes me so sad to look back on because of how low my standards for my life were. #My mom was carting me around California and filling in a major for me on tour paperwork and I was trying to be as small and socially gracef #l as possible and that was it. No thought of what I wanted. No thought of my own future at all aside from a vague sense that #given how all my efforts towards anything collapsed in their infancy #I would not be the type of person who Gets Into Colleges. #And I was right! I don’t remember if I couldn’t handle the application process or if I just never got accepted to any residential colleges #r if it was a decision my mother made for me after I dropped out of high school and got a GED instead of graduating properly but I just wen #to community college for a semester. And then I convinced my parents to let me take a year off from struggling in the hell pit and they jus #let me walk out! And I never went back! And it’s only by luck of circumstance I’ve been able to get away with that! #Christ it’s 11 am and I haven’t had my breakfast smoothie. Calm down bitch.
