Having a wildly fun time writing the Obi-Wan as a (quite different) kind of Chosen One AU for many reasons, one of which is having Palpatine as a Jedi who is still uh, making some choices, but he's making them for majorly different reasons, that are to him, reasonable, and it's reallyyyyy stretching my brain about how much of our personalities are inherent and how much are the context of our existence. That's one of the reallyyyy fun things about AUs I think, is making the characters IN character, but according to the environment you've put them in.

my most toxic trait is i fucking love work gossip. i play neutral not to be the bigger person or take the high road but to hear slander and hearsay from every side. two coworkers complained about each other to me in the same afternoon and i nearly blacked out from the rush

I did not like the back leg of today's pose and it didn't fit how I imagine him positionning himself to shoot.

But I dutifully did the original one 💖

More half-crouched, reading to spring up and run if needed - danger!- than putting his whole weight on it. It seems too

much like it's relaxing to me.

Announcing QuinObi Week 2025!

What is QuinObi Week? 

Glad you asked! QuinObi week is a time to celebrate the relationship between Quinlan Vos and Obi-Wan Kenobi. For the purposes of this week, this is defined as:

Committed romantic and/or sexual relationship

Best friends with benefits

Queerplatonic partners

Essentially, just anything that has the pair of them as something in addition to friends, whether they're your more traditional romantic/sexual partners, FWB, platonic partners, QPPs, etc. There is a good amount of best friend content for them (which I love!) but I'm hoping to encourage more shippy content with this event.

When is QuinObi Week?

It will run this year from September 15th-19th.

What Can I Make? 

Anything! Fic, art, graphics, playlists, anything that makes you happy! 

And you don't have to participate every day to participate! Feel free to do one day, all five, or anything in-between.

Is NSFW Content Welcome?

Yes! Absolutely.

Prompts

I have a few prompts in mind to inspire folks, but they are optional! There are three for each day so you can pick and choose (or combine!) AUs of any sort are also very welcome!

Day 1: Kiffar culture / Kyber crystals / Raising Anakin and Aayla

Day 2: No O66 / Sith artifacts / With a Little Help From Their Friends

Day 3: Life Day / First kiss / First time

Day 4: Undercover / Arguments / Tough mission

Day 5: Cuddling and comfort / Padawan crush / Tholme and Qui-Gon

Who is Your Mod?

I'm Katie! Someone once said "she carries QuinObi on her back" and I'm happy to do so! You can find my blog here and my Ao3 here. I'm the author of many fics that center and/or include QuinObi. I also have a QuinObi discord with a great crew of folks, so if you'd like to join, just ping me for the invite. I'm very friendly, so don't be shy. Feel free to ask me any questions at all! <3

The Sins of Somebody Else's Past

Summary: One with the vision to see, the power to bear, and the light to spare the galaxy. As darkness creeps into the galaxy, the fifth Chosen One of the Jedi Order is born on Stewjon, a world well-known for their hatred of Force-sensitives. Secreted away to the temple at age three, Obi-Wan, learning the truth of his identity, finds a home among the Jedi and a best friend in psychometric prodigy Quinlan Vos. Obi-Wan, struck by debilitating visions, feels the clock ticking as he grows up. No Chosen One has lived past twenty. Bonding with members of Yoda's lineage from his first days in the temple, Obi-Wan meets Sheev Palpatine, the middle Padawan of Master Dooku. The Sith plot in the shadows. The Jedi find themselves under greater pressure. When the Chosen One lives past his expiration date, it becomes clear that one member of the disaster lineage isn't who he seems.

The scary pictures fade a little more, but everything still hurts. He shouldn’t scream, but he can’t help it. The things he sees aren’t always bad. Sometimes he sees a grinning boy—older than him. He has yellow on his face. Brown skin. Black hair. He’s always putting out his hand on a color-blur, busy street.

Come on, Obes. We can disappear for tonight.

Obes. Is that him?

The boy always vanishes, though. Obi-Wan doesn’t know what happened to him. There’s another picture that came once, and he saw a very small boy with sandy hair, a girl with long braids, and a blue alien girl. The girl with the braids called the boy with the sandy hair Ani.

“King Kenobi,” the green-skinned woman says, and Obi-Wan thinks that her eyes are kind, “do you want to say goodbye?”

His Papa, with copper hair like his, freezes in the doorway. He glances back, and ... Obi-Wan feels a little tug like he sometimes does, in the Force. The Force makes the pictures happen. It lets him move things. The mean lady hates that.

“Take him where he’s wanted to your temple of unholy freaks,” his Papa hisses with a strange shimmer in his eyes. “He certainly isn’t wanted here.”

Dooku and Obi-Wan, two people who both loved Qui-Gon.

This art parallels each other's events so to speak. While Dooku is sad for Qui-Gon near their memorial place, Obi-Wan gives his padawan braid to the Master and says goodbye to him one last time

with love. you have to fact check shit. yes you. you still have to fact check shit. a lot of people are great at fact checking stuff they don’t want to be true, but somehow are still absolute ass at fact checking stuff that’s rhetorically convenient to them. even people my age, who I KNOW grew up doing internet/bibliography literacy workshops, and being warned not to believe anything that isn’t reliably sourced, people who DO harp on fact checking conservative output or whatever, are still kneejerk sharing unsourced shit that is partially or wholly untrue or misleading, because it suits whatever narrative they’re pursuing in that moment, without even a “take this with a grain of salt”. fact check!!!!!! look at the sources!!!!! yes it’s a drag!!! do it!!!!!
