[that-gay-jedi]

im doubling down on shipping obikin after my friends called me gross. that is NOT a strictly father-son relationship it is the most confusing mix of feelings ever did we WATCH the same movies lmfao

Yeah there are some... western-centric elements to people automatically writing off master-padawan ships and shoehorning a religious order into westernized nuclear family roles is one of them. Only one of them I might add.

There's a really good post that goes around (I'm sure I reblogged it like... aeons ago) compiling a Twitter thread about how and why the master-apprentice bond turning sexual or romantic when they become equals is an established thing in some of the Asian cultures GL uhhh "borrowed" large parts of the Jedi from and specifically why obikin is not inherently deviant.

Although if writers want to select interpretations or source material wherein Anakin would have a complex, possessive, is-he-my-father-or-my-daddy relationship I'm not opposed (I have a post somewhere on the importance of defending deviancy, and how I could've easily been a self-hating anti if not for the exposure to various obikin voices, but as a mobile only tumblr it's unfindable lmao).

Ultimately (imho) the one common thread between all obikinville, regardless of individual preference for happy, tragic, codependent, wholesome, fluff, porn, kinky, vanilla, 1k word meta posts about their dynamic, fix it or break it more, etc etc etc, is that we're here for how insane they are about each other.

And there are a lot of ways those two are insane about each other, many of which are delicious in either a literary or a sexual fantasy sense (or both).

But back to your point yes the million trillion times when Anakin is NOT looking respectfully at Obi-Wan AT ALL, he spends more time undressing Obi-Wan with his eyes than he does Padme. That is noooot son behaviour. They can barely stop psychically fucking each other's brain-bussy long enough to fight this war.

And the 928768872796489282831 ways canon is like "THEY WERE SOULMATES!"

And yes they could platonically look at each other like the sole source of all that is good and bright in this universe (Force knows that's how I see my friends) and move in such perfect unison it's like they're one body and bicker like an old married couple but hey. They could also do that romantically. Sexually even. Queerplatonically. All the above.

10, 16 annnnnnd lets do 23! for the choose violence asks <3

10: worst part of fanon

Hmm... I think the worst part of fanon is the headcanon that Korkie Kryze is Obi-Wan's child. It infuriates me to no end. I really hate Satine, but I also think she just wouldn't keep a child made so illicitly. Whether that means having an abortion, which feels more unlikely, or sending the kid off to some other planet to be far away from her.

16: You can't understand why so many people like this thing

Tying into my previous answer, I can't understand why so many people like Obitine. Satine is the most frustrating character to me, from the way she treats her people to the way she treats those around her. I think her and Obi-Wan could never be more than what it was; a short-lived whirlwind romance. I much prefer ships like Codywan, because those are two people who feel like they could actually work in a way that is meaningful.

23: ship you've unwillingly come around to

For this, I would have to also say Codywan. At first, I was skeptical, because I didn't know much about Cody and I wasn't that immersed in the Clone side of the fandom yet. I didn't dislike it, per se, but I just wasn't warmed up to it. And then I saw all the beautiful fanart, and the fics, and the love people poured into these characters. People like my favorite Codywan artist (who I am too afraid to actually tag, but it's Journen) and also some of the really heartbreaking fics and edits that I saw, really made it something I grew to love.

I think there are so many good ships in Star Wars, including canon ones such as Anidala and Hanleia (is that the name for that one?) And ones that absolutely should have been canon, like Finnpoe/Stormpilot.

Thank you for the ask!!! This was so fun, I love nothing more than talking about Star Wars <3

[dailydragon08]

a visual I’ve really been loving lately: the idea of waking up before Luke and just watching him sleep ❤️

Thank you for the ask, friend! My inbox is always open!

Ugh, YES. His hair is so floofy, I bet the bedhead is absolutely adorable.

I can't decide whether I think he snores or not. If he does, I think it's super quiet and you can only hear it if you're right next to him. I DO think he's a pretty sleeper though. Like just very serene face, mouth slightly open, and obviously is a huge snuggler. Like can't get close enough to you and if you roll away from each other in the middle of the night, if he even wakes up a quarter of the way enough to realize he's not holding you, he'll immediately remedy that.

Bonus: he loves when he's more awake and you snuggle into him half asleep. It makes him all

[alamogirl80]

Can you explain some of the clone’s culture in the follow the light in you AU?

Ooo anon asking the good stuff.

I think clone culture in my AU is little things the clones tried to hang onto from Kamino that maybe they hid from the kaminoans.

Like the remembrance tradition of scraps of flimsy or cloth or trash they could write the numbers of brothers who never heard of again, tossed into the sea. They changed that into the lantern ceremony once they had their own planet and home.

I think armor painting is definitely part of clone culture - something that is precious to them, as individuals, as commemorating accomplishments or survived trauma. That’s not something they share with just anyone.

Despite being free, the clone society is still regimented and very much centering around being soldiers — even though many chose civilian life, they still go to reserve training and such. They are still bred soldiers and many tried civilian life and didn’t like it/couldn’t change. So they go back to what they know.

There are songs that probably started on Kamino that carried on into free world that are uniquely clones. Just like the clones are the only ones to set the lanterns free on Festival of Lights.

I think a lot of stuff just had to happen after they were free because they couldn’t keep much under the sith with the chips controlling them. So I really think a lot of clone culture is developing as they learn to be free peoples making a place for themselves in the galaxy

[padmeanddorme]

Answering my asks p1 :)

Thanks for the ask friend!

I’m super excited to get to rant with fellow Star Wars fans, especially about some underrated, courageous and amazing characters!

I love all Padmé’s handmaidens and all their quirks. Dormé’s loyalty and love for Padmé that brings her to tears in Attack of the Clones is gorgeous, and I love how the Clone Wars delved into the fact that Teckla has children to love and nurture.

So. Off the top of my head the handmaidens I can think of include:

The original five that served Padmé as Queen of Naboo:

- Sabé

- Saché

- Yané

- Eirtaé

- Rabé

Padmé’s senatorial handmaidens from Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith:

- Dormé

- Moteé

- Versé

- Cordé

- Ellé

- Hollé

And then there were handmaidens introduced not in live action, but in books like Ek Johnston’s Padmé trilogy and the Clone Wars :

- Teckla

- Duja

- Tepoh (technically Tepoh is Saché’s aid but any friend of a handmaiden is Padmé’s friend)

I researched it and apparently I forgot some rarely mentioned handmaidens like Karté, Fé, Dané, Umé and Miré.

For more information on the handmaidens and who they are, you can use resources like this one:

So, why do I love the handmaidens?

Well, the fact that these characters are made out to be simple aides to Padmé, who are responsible for her hair, clothing decisions and makeup support, but are really her trusted ‘decoys, bodyguards and confidantes,’ is so fascinating to me (quoting Star Wars.com’s Guide to the Royal Handmaidens of Naboo article). They are symbolic of that moral of not judging a book by its cover, as they are more trained, skilled and close to Padmé than most assume.

Also, I love how the handmaidens are so selfless. They sacrifice so many opportunities to enjoy their life and pursue their interests to protect a dear friend who cares for them but cannot be entirely truthful with them (Anakin boy, we love you, and we know it is not your fault, but you kind of make your wife so secretive towards her friends).

And, on a lesser note, I love how the handmaidens follow Padmé’s impeccable fashion style and wear some gorgeous cloaks and outfits. Whether they be grey velvet cloaks or the flame-coloured robes, the handmaidens pull off every simple style so effortlessly.

Talking about the lesser known handmaidens

For the lesser known handmaidens like Duja, Teckla, Tepoh and Moteé, I consider them equally as interesting as those we know more about. They each have their own unique traits that I hope can be explored in future Star Wars content, whether it be prequel era books, comics, series etc.

Duja is first mentioned in the book I really adore, Thrawn Alliances. I love how we get it inferred that Duja was passionate, courageous and willing to face any danger if it allowed her to aid the greater good. It was also a neat little touch in the book where the author mentioned how both Duja and Padmé had once discussed their longing for children of their own. Unfortunately, this character we learnt so little amount perished in the line of duty during the Clone Wars while she was investigating a Separatist factory.

Teckla seems like a sweet-natured character and I adore her. I find it funny that many believe her only appearance is in the Clone Wars, when it has been confirmed that she was the handmaiden in that Attack of the Clones scene serving dinner to Anakin and Padmé before that chat about aggressive negotiations. In the Clone Wars episode ‘Pusuit of Peace’, I love how she helps Padmé with her hair (which is revealed to be a wig) and acts as an optimistic spark of hope when Padmé is fatigued and frustrated.

I loved the introduction of Tepoh in the book Queen’s Hope. The fact that Tepoh is the first character I know of in Star Wars who goes by zhe/zhem pronouns made zhem even more fascinating to me, as I adore characters who feel confident enough to express their true personality and values. Tepoh was likeable for me as zhe were open about their inability to fit into the bleak binary of the male and female categories. I also found it cool of zhem to be willing to aid Saché in their fight for the greater good, even if it meant she had to sit and notetake a lot of information from meetings.

Although I do not know that much about Moteé, the one comic I own that features her makes me adore her. Not only do I love the scene where she walks in on Anidala kissing and she just goes straight to business, but I also love how she is inquisitive about the forbidden affair between Anakin and Padmé. Also, I admire how Moteé takes on the advice of Dormé to let Padmé be happy with Anakin, as it proves that she will be forthright with her opinions but will be open-minded when it is needed.

Enjoy the very few gifs I could find that feature the handmaidens….

And May the Force be with you all ✨

[themistymountainscold]

I have a hc i would like to share

Tech wears gloves alot because he has sensory issues and it protects his hands from any bad textures (once he lost his only pair and crosshair bought him a couple secretly)

ABSOLUTELY

i also think he doesnt really like skin to skin contact much either and avoids that as much as possible too.

crosshair buying him two more pairs and making sure they wont irritate his hands is so siheisheheenejjejdosjsjsjkskdksiendkbdkdksnslsjodndjdnldndksksbichcixnsks

[virtie333]

2, 3 and 7 for the Star Wars asks?

2. What character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because how how the fandom acts about them?

I hate saying it, but Kylo Ren/Ben Solo. I loved him through the movies! I loved Adam Driver and I loved how he was brought back to the light side. But since then, thanks to certain (not all!) Reylos and their obsession with him and his being 'misunderstood,' (no, he was really, really bad) I just can't anymore. After having considered myself Reylo through the movies, I now have the tag blocked.

3. What’s the worst part of canon?

Inconsistency. It's everywhere, but being a Poe Dameron fan, I really hate how they changed everything with him. In Before the Awakening, the first Star Wars book I read after they de-canonized the AU (Legends), it was written that Poe joined the Resistance directly from the Republic, after watching his friend die and realizing the First Order was essentially being ignored by his superiors. Then in the 3rd movie... wait! He was a drug smuggler? Then how the hell did he become a pilot in the Republic? Just... why?

7. What is the weakest piece of canon writing?

Oh, dang. I think I just mentioned it. LOL Uhm.. I guess I could also complain a bit about the Ahsoka series, which overall I absolutely loved, but... why Sabine? Why are we making her a Jedi? I mean, I love her, but she's enough as she is. Why are we changing canon? *sigh* So, yes I love Star Wars, ALL of it, but I do still have my 'eye rolling' moments.

Send me some asks!

[musewrangler]

Mwhahaha I descend on your ask box with the same question I have inflicted on other people over the past few days: favorite Star Wars head canons?

I am SO sorry this has taken so long. Insane end of the year---life of a teacher. xD Thank you for asking!

Hmmm, favorite head canons.

Piett is secretly delighted that there is ONE person that is shorter than he is, but one does not openly admit that to Princess Leia.

Veers not secretly enjoys the fact that he is two years older than Piett and therefore anytime older brother situations come up, he is happy to take on that role and is not intimidated by the 'Admiral' glare.

On the flip side---Leia is a few minutes younger than Luke but literally NO ONE would guess that as she practically SCREAMS oldest vibes and thus, very few people ask the twins who's older. Luke has actually bald faced lied about it because it allows him to get away with so much. Innocent farm boy younger sibling remember? [Fox doesn't buy it]

Han is desperate for Ahsoka to show up again because Anakin dropped something in passing about how she could outdrink a Wookiee and now he wants to test that theory with Chewbacca. He and Venka already have a bet, but getting the Togruta and the Wookiee together is VERY difficult.

Baldwin [Chief Engineer in my AU] will never tell anyone that the Admiral will still on occasion come down to the plasma core of the Lady with a hover chair and his favorite book on tall ships in order to quietly discuss it with her. Baldwin would LOVE to know what she shows Piett on the datapad when he asks about her thoughts on sailing in water vs. space.

[bookishbrigitta]

5 and 8?

From Choose Violence Star Wars asks:

Okay, #5: Worst Blorboification:

I have to admit, I'm still shaky on my understanding of what is and isn't a blorbo. But from what I can find, it's a character someone really likes and kind of treats like a pet. And there are so many in Star Wars. Everyone thinks "I can fix him!" (choose your own "him" to fix -- Vader, Kylo Ren, etc.).

That said, the one that's puzzled me the longest is Boba Fett. He's just...not that interesting? He really didn't have much screen time until fairly recently (although I'm pretty sure there were comics and novellas), and it's weird that he survived the sarlacc, and he just seems like an asshole.

For #8: There should be more of this type of fic/art:

SO MANY! I'm all about domestic fluff and found family stuff, so that's an obvious one. I saw more of it pre-Sequels, but fics about the OT gang being good parents/teachers because they had all the makings of that in the OT. Also, two things I've been writing about lately are Wookiees and the Whitesun-Lars family, and there's not enough works about either.

Thanks for the questions!

[sotwk]

Hi,

For the Star Wars questions: 8, 10 & 19 ☺️

I'm very curious! 😊

/Lina

(Link to the Star Wars Asks)

Thank you for the ask, Lina! I didn't know you were a Star Wars fan too!!! (I just saw a reblog of your Obi-Wan spicy fic--ooh la-la!)

#8: Weapon of choice? I don't care how "basic" it is, I WANT A LIGHTSABER. Classic style, color green. Because yes, I fantasize myself as being a powerful Force user. The Force is hands-down my favorite aspect of the Star Wars canon and I love the Jedi order.

#10: Which character do you feel is most like you? R2-D2. Choosing a robot might seem weird, but R2 is the ultimate sidekick with strong Sam Gamgee vibes. He is hardworking, loyal, dependable, not the strongest being in the galaxy but can hold his own in battle. Most importantly, he makes himself as useful as possible and just by being the best at what he is/does, he actually saves the day behind the scenes. I think I'm the same way; I am good at being hero support whom the hero would actually be lost without. R2 is also the "keeper of memories" for the Skywalker clan, which has always been my role in my own family.

#19: What type of outfit would you wear? I really like Rey's attire in The Rise of Skywalker. It looks so practical and comfortable for travel and fighting, but it still looks feminine and even sexy. I would also love to have a Jedi robe with it, because I'm always cold and those are pretty much like Snuggies.

On the choose violence ask game: 4, 16, and 23

Lol I love that gif

4. What’s the worst part of fanon?

This isn't exclusive to Star Wars: the way one early fanfiction with a diametrical depiction of a certain character becomes "famous" and is taken as the blueprint through which a large part of the fandom sees that character (or relationship) henceforward. Also the misogyny.

16. Best written female character in Star Wars [it’s okay, you can say none]

Oh, oof. Think I'm going to go with "none", which will sadly be the case for as long as they continue to hand over projects to rich white cis men.

23. Is it actually all Obi-Wan’s fault?

NO, and the Anakin stans can die mad about it.

Thank you!!

let me choose violence: send me a star wars ask!

[ladylucksrogue]

16, 21, 24 please!

16. Best written female character in Star Wars [it’s okay, you can say none]

Eh...the closest we get is Leia, I think. She's not without her flaws and there are elements that bother me about her story. Like she should have been trained as a Jedi. I like her character though, she strong, sassy, smart and takes no bullshit.

21. Best canon example of a healthy relationship in Star Wars?

Bail and Breha hands down. They both have their careers, their own paths and are often separated but every interaction between them is wholesome and shows the love, trust and respect they have for each other. They are the Star Wars power couple.

24. Fuck marry kill: Tarkin, Pre Viszla, Max Rebo

Kill Tarkin, he wouldn't hesitate to take me out so I'll take him out first. I'd marry Max Rebo for the money, and I guess Viszla is my sordid affair 😂

[piecesofeden11]

6, 16, and 23 for the Star Wars ask game please?

Again, sorry that came late now, after I fell asleep :D No. 6: What planet would you most like to live on?

Naboo, no contest. It's Space Italy and Italy is just incredibly beautiful, so yeah! But I'd love to visit so many others so I'd rarely be home for the first few years :D No. 16: Which movie/episode have you watched the most?

The OG Trilogy but mostly because they've simply been out the longest (cause I usually watch the whole first six in a batch, when I watch) but RotS is starting to creep in as an outlier (especially the first 20 minutes when the world was good and wholesome) No. 23: What’s your favorite star wars musical piece or theme?

"Anakin's Betrayal" there's five different versions of it on my writing playlist and it never, ever fails to make me emotional. I just love it so much. Of course, I have soft spot for the "Force Theme", too but it's a bit overplayed.

Thank you for your asks <3

[arcadianmoonshadowjedi]

Hello again, Dreamy ! How much star wars animated series that have you watched and which one is your favorite ? I'm curious about it 😁

Oooooh! I watched them all except for Resistance but this is me being reluctant mainly due to my overall dislike for the Sequel trilogy (apologies to all ST fans out there). I think I still need to catch up on Forces of Destinies and Visions. My favorite is The Clone Wars, which is also my favorite Star Wars series overall (more than the live actions). The Bad Batch and Mando are close behind! 😊🙌🏽 I love that it expanded so much on the prequel trilogy plot and main characters, along with taking characters with small roles and cameos and adding so much depth to them. Heck it also introduced new characters which have become some of my favorite SW characters ever (Ahsoka and Rex)! Thanks again and feel free to ask or even dm if you wanna talk more! 😊

[musewrangler]

I was thinking about this at work, and I must know:

If your Empire Reimagined characters were in the modern world, what would some of their favorite bands/artists/songs be? (My theory is, Piett would like Simon & Garfunkel, but that's just me)

First we need to establish that you are wonderful for thinking about this at work. ;D I love it.

And it is now your fault that I can't do anything else until I answer this hilarious plunge down the imagination. So. Cracks knuckles. Here we go:

Contrary to what you might think, it is Anakin who likes Simon and Garfunkle. They strike the right note of melancholy for him, without being too dark and angsty. He's trying not to allow outside stimuli to drag him to darkness again. Luke likes this too and Leia rolls her eyes at both of them and refuses to allow it to play in her house.

Han is a classic 80s band guy. U2, Bon Jovi, Journey, ACDC, Wham, Queen, Blondie---he loves it all. Leia likes some songs from some of these artists and they can be seen dancing together to these pieces. There was one legendary night at Sola and Firmus's place when they'd enjoyed a good dinner and good wine that Han and Leia did karaoke for 'Don't Stop Believin', belting it at the top of their lungs to the point that the neighbors commed to complain about noise, but Firmus let Luke talk to them and they came over and had wine and were fine about it. Even requested 'Hungry Like the Wolf'.

Veers also likes ACDC if only for 'Back in Black' as it reminds him of his tank divisions in the Middle East and the camraderie of his men who picked this song as their anthem. He doesn't mind most of Han's music---it hits the right notes literally, though he's not a big Hughie Lewis and the News fan in spite of Back to the Future.

While we're on Veers, he REALLY likes Queen, and the early 2000s hard rock. He also is a dork about the Beatles---something Firmus really loves to give him a hard time about----and Leia and he have trivia battles regularly about this as she likes them too. [Myra loved the Beatles, and so while Firmus likes to tease Max, he also has every single song on his playlist ready if requested.]

Luke is a Maroon Five, Plain White T's, Coldplay, Greenday, The Fray sort of guy, but if you want to see him air guitar [and he has and Han recorded it] watch him with the Black Eyed Peas. I know. No one called that, but it's awesome. He genuinely likes most of the other music his friends and family do, and Leia shares his love of Coldplay.

Piett is quite eclectic in taste. He and Veers can be found nodding their heads and looking very satisfied when CCR is playing, especially Fortunate Son. His favorites to tend toward the 70s rock, so the Eagles, The Dooby Brothers, Moody Blues, and Styx are favorites. However, Firmus LOVES good jazz and swing music. So he can equally be found playing Sinatra, Crosby, Bobby Darin, Big Fat Voodoo Daddy and Nat King Cole. He and Sola are really good dance partners by now and Leia loves capturing sweet moments in their kitchen when they're making dinner for the family and the Admiral takes Sola by the waist to spin her round the island impressively to the King of Swing.

He also loves great classical pieces like Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G major or Handel or Beethoven. This is good because his adopted son in all but name is a classical freak.

Scraps is KEEN. Matthew is all things classical and is an utter NERD about this. He knows ridiculous amounts and can name a piece after just the first five notes.

He also plays the cello himself and does so beautifully though none of them knew this until four years into knowing him.

Leia, as mentioned, loves Coldplay and some of the 80s bands Han does. She refuses to listen to music she has deemed 'boring and slow' [pointed look to Anakin and Luke] though she seems to enjoy Piett's jazz and it is rarely fast paced so.

Leia has a country streak though she is picky here as well. She adores Cash, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, and ZZ Top. [There are pitched discussions over whether that last is properly country, but Han takes her side---shocker---mostly because he likes the song 'Well Dressed Man'] She has a hilarious affection for 'Ice Ice Baby' which many of her friends find strange since she doesn't like cold typically, but she will bop to this any time any where. Han tried putting it on during an argument once and she managed to carry on yelling for another minute before she broke.

It only worked once though.

Thank you @accidental-spice! This was really fun!
