I'd love to read your approach on a Modern-AU Obi-Wan. What does he do for work? And also, as you're in law, do u think in a modern AU Obi-Wan'd be a lawyer? if so, what branch of law he would specialize in?

Have had this sitting on my drafts for a while now but the love hypothesis news got me thinking about it so much, so here we go 💘

I don’t think he’d be a lawyer😭 but if he was, he’d be a scholar. I do see him in academia (flowers for spring, groundbreaking!) so I wrote a few HC 🤎

Modern AU Obi-wan head cannons.

Obi-wan is a scholar, works at a University teaching & doing research.

He lives nearby and drives an electric car.

Does not live in a big main city, but a smaller, less chaotic, but still chic city.

He, almost exclusively, listens to Jazz & Blues, but the rock music that kid Skywalker plays has been getting in his head lately.

If he’s in social sciences, he’d be closer to be a sociologist or international studies than litigation.

Though if you really wanted him to be a lawyer he would probably be a prosecutor. And a very uptight one; everything by the book and all.

Total environmental advocator, gets it from his former advisor, Qui-Gon Jin, PhD.

He is the hot teacher and he knows it. Secretly enjoys making students and colleagues blush, but gets really shy when it’s the other way around.

One time a student wrote their number on a test and he gasped—loudly—in the middle of the room, during an exam.

Big chai lover.

He loves to sneak in the astronomy building to take a look through the telescope. Big fan of the universe.

If you try to kiss him in campus he gets shy and looks everywhere around. Not because it’s wrong or he is ashamed, but because he thinks he should be a moral authority for students.

His office is filled with plants and books.

He smells woodsy and musky. (Im shitty describing smells)

Even if you’re in campus, he is always touching you; hand holding, arm around your shoulders, hand on your knee. That man’s love language is physical touch.

He, of course, has some slutty little glasses.

Ship Tropes Game

RULES: Pick one of your ships and name 5 tropes that apply to them. For each trope, explain why it fits — not just in terms of dynamics, but what it reveals about your blorbos as characters. Think of it as both ship analysis and character dissection.

Tagged by: @starlightsupernovae (thank you!! had a blast reading your rook x illario tropes 🥹)

no-pressure tags to some of my current faves: @postboxrose @khomabrutalist @rook-de-rivas @somuchforahobby & anyone who wants to do it!

Ship: Viago/Rook

This was such a fun way to get into the headspace for writing more of these two! You can read Spoonful of Sugar (which these answers are based on) and know that much, much more Rook x Viago is on the way very soon. 👀

Meet Cute: Rook is heading back to the Lighthouse through the Cantori Diamond when she literally runs head-first into Viago and twists her ankle. Ever a consummate host (the Diamond is his home away from home, after all), Viago personally ensures she is all healed up.

Their meeting takes place in Chapter 2 of Spoonful of Sugar, if you want to see it play out in real time! I loved the idea of them knowing vaguely of one another but not having officially met yet. Their story starts when it's still early-days of the veilguard team coming together. Lucanis told Rook about his contacts, and she's seen Viago from afar, but she's only had the chance to meet Teia. That doesn't mean she hasn't heard tales of the infamous Fifth Talon and his penchant for poison, though. And boy-oh-boy does he have her flustered. 😈

Mentor x Mentee: Many mages utilize spell blades when they fight. Rook, for her part, never did quite get the hang of that technique. Of course, it's never been much of a problem until Venatori cultists and Antaam started flinging themselves at her in dark alleyways. Suddenly, keeping the enemy at a distance isn't always feasible. When she asks Lucanis for some pointers on how to wield a dagger, the Crow offers to find her a better suited teacher; one that has more experience with blades smaller than Lucanis' preferred rapiers. This is how Rook finds herself spending every scant moment of down-time with Viago de Riva. Poisons and daggers pair perfectly together, or so he says. Every time he pins her in a practice fight (which is more often than not, but she's still a beginner so hold your judgment thankyouverymuch), Rook starts to wonder if it might be more merciful just to put her out of her misery.

Poor Rook. From the first time she saw him she thought he was nice to look at. And it's no secret that he's wicked smart. But being on the receiving end of his physical strength and at the mercy of his cunning at the same time is going to be her undoing. I'm having the literal time of my life writing it (and when I'm not writing it, daydreaming about it lmao).

Grumpy x Sunshine: Viago always has this serious little frown set on his face and Rook spends more time than she should thinking about what would happen if she just... kissed him. Right there. On the very corner of his mouth. He'd probably just pull his brows down into a scowl and frown harder, but maybe he wouldn't Maybe he would unclinch his jaw. Maybe his eyes would go a little round, a little soft, as he looked at her. Maybe he would kiss her back.

I am a SUCKER for grumpy x sunshine, especially when the grumpy one is soft just for their partner. Especially especially when everyone else knows that the grumpy one is soft just for them. UGH. PERFECTION. No further comments, your honor.

Allies to Lovers: It's not likely that Rook and Viago would have ever met if not for the necessity of the Veilguard. Regardless of the weight Lucanis' family name carries, Rook knows that treachery comes with the territory when working with assassins. The Crows make formidable allies, but they are just as likely to make formidable enemies for the right price. Having two well-liked and respected Talons like Viago de Riva and Teia Cantori on their side helps stabilize things. It also helps that Teia quickly shapes up to be a dear friend and Viago... well, Rook certainly isn't going to complain about having him around in any capacity.

Viago is an eager ally against the gods because "the Crows rule Antiva and Treviso will be free." Duh. But he's going to have a real hard time coming to terms with the fact that his allyship has gotten all twisted into *gasp* protectiveness and *double gasp* affection for a certain little would-be god-killer. *rubs hands together and cackles evilly*

Touch-Starved: Rook doesn't think that it's strange Viago is almost always covered entirely from neck to toe. It makes a certain amount of sense in his line of work. In fact, she doesn't think much about what he wears at all other than to occasionally appreciate the function it provides. (And to oogle the impeccable fit, of course; but anyone with a pair of functional eyes would do that, right? Gods above it should be criminal for a man to look so good.) The very first time his ungloved fingers brush against hers is after a strenuous practice session. Rook is so keen to grab the canteen of water being passed to her that she barely notices the way their hands overlap a bit in the process. She does notice when he passes her the lid in a way that feels deliberate. She also tries very hard to pretend she doesn't notice the way he holds onto it for just a moment longer than he should, eyes fixed on the press of her fingers on his.

I love this trope on its own but, imo, it plays really well with the others I've outlined for these two! Like, you're telling me grumpy, touch-starved mentor and his bubbly, eager-to-learn mentee going up against unthinkable odds as allies and falling in love isn't the most delicious combo you've ever heard of???

interrupted hc: when you opened anakin’s text book during the diner study night, you saw this drawing of him and obi-wan. Little Ani got flustered and pulled it, folding it into his robe.

You drew a line across your mouth with your thumb and index finger, followed by a wink.

Your lips were sealed and would never tell a word to his master.

I have to come up with a topic for a like a research paper for a law magazine that i was invited to and damn, i wish i could think of a gender-labor-law problem like i think of ways to tease obi-wan kenobi

[somuchforahobby]

THIS THIS THIS

I always reminisce to when I went to the cinema with my friends* to watch episode VII.

I remember squeezing a friend’s hand in the first scene of the Millennium Falcon, my heart literally racing and a tear falling down my eye.

By the end, everyone was SO mad. They hated it. They asked how I felt about it, and I said “I just love to go back into the SW universe”.

That’s how I think fandom should be. You should be THRILLED to be back into the universe. Yeah you may have critics, it’s only natural and healthy, but going lengths into hating the very same thing you allegedly enjoy. Then maybe you don’t! And that’s ok. You shouldn’t force yourself to like it or hate it. Just live god damn it.

*I no longer hang with them bc they literally are the prototype of the hater-fanboy of whatever they think “stinks” of woke.

the star wars fandom on here seems very inactive as of late, and I don't think that's a surprise when so much of the posts on here are negative towards anything about it. and rather than acknowledge this for what it is (trolls being trolls), it's become increasingly common to see people say "oh well, it's basically law to hate star wars as a star wars fan!" or people try to keep this air of deniability that they care too much about this franchise by emphasizing they know it's bad or stupid or whatever. respectfully, i think if you're having such a bad time enjoying the franchise, it might be time to move on?

[somuchforahobby]

Happy to announce that I will go back to my roots as I am writing a long-ass-one-shot-built-by-drabbles of Obi-wan x Sith!reader using some prompts from here. So if you wanna add a request, by all means pls hit me upppp <3

[somuchforahobby]

for the record i don't think I'll ever get over your Stephen Strange. Legit got me kicking my feet. Do you still feel comfortable writing for him? If not I'd be happy if you had some recs for him 👀

omg, thank you!!! I dooo, the thing with me writing Strange is funny bc it started with me not having anything to watch on tv and decided to re-watch sherlock as a palate cleanser (as you do!!!!) and then started greys anatomy lol, i think reading my strange fics you can very easily spot those two shows.

so yessss, I can still and would love to write for himmm :) and abt recs I'll give it a thought bc i dont have any at the top of my head right now

[somuchforahobby]

*writes a silly one-shot of little ani cock-blocking obi-wan*

*evolves into a fix it where anakin grew up feeling loved and never turned to the dark side*

I AM IN CONSTANT PAIN 😭🖤
