#also lol the newest wave isnt even trying

I thought the bots were bad before. It got worse.

King Obi-Wan is so great because he gets to be competent and in charge but also he gets to have desires, and Anakin gets to be indolent and not be expected to do all the time. I can totally see King Obi-Wan hand feeding Anakin when he's injured and can't feed himself and them both accidentally playing themselves when they realise how much they both enjoy it even after Anakin is healing. Obi-Wan doesn't let his duties slip in a major way but his advisors being all 'My lord we have assigned healers and servants to care for him' and him colly replying 'yes but also I've decided to oversee his recovery'. And eventually it turns into 'my lord he's a jedi he can't be your consort, he isnt trained in anything a consort should know and would actively make our diplomatic relations worst' and he's like 'yes but consider, I love him and he makes me happy' and no one has a response to that

lol anakin isn't expected to do like. any of the time. no one wants to point this out to anyone else, but everyone is thinking it. since arriving and healing, they have seen the new jedi do. well. not a lot; he does eventually become head of the kingsguard and meets with mechanics on the planet to talk fortification and faster ships and cooler weapons and has he mentioned faster ships????

the other mechanics definitely try to talk him down from super duper fast ships/transportation because anakin's thinking of it less as infrastructure and more on individual needs and then one of the other planners goes, 'alright but would you let the king ride it' referring to anakin's plans

and anakin just goes all quiet because he wants to say yes but then also what if something were to break or something were to happen to obi-wan while on this ship because anakin wanted fast and efficiency over safety???

it becomes a new stewjoni expression, actually: 'alright but would the king ride it' about everything from if the food you cut corners making to save time is actually good, if the newest method of surgery is as healthy as it is efficient, etc etc

(also the sexual innuendo there is 100% why it becomes such a common phrase. sex shops are advertising dildos with the slogan 'would the king ride it' and anakin wishes to the force he'd just built the fucking speedy train.)

but anyway i digress my b

i love this au's take on a king obi-wan because he's had so much experience being the king that he's just. a stone wall to argue with. you'll say something in protest, he'll listen and nod and then lay out his position, and that's it. you've successfully lost your argument with king obi-wan. anakin waves as you leave the throne room before he goes back to licking strawberry juice off of obi-wan's fingers.

fic asks!! 2, 3, 9, and 15, along with a free bingo space to share any other things about your current fic that you'd like the opportunity to ramble on <3

2. What fanfic do you wish you got more response on?

i did this one in a different ask but we have established that i Love Attention so i’ll offer another one. delilah pining after/obsessing over ripley during the whitestone years. it was compelling 2 me and it holds up.

3. What’s a fic idea that you have but haven’t written yet?

i’ve got. somany. i saw the charlie’s angels reboot alone in a theater at 11am and came out of it wanting to write about spies in love so i have notes that i no longer remember the context for but i’m still kinda Into. i have a whole zevran thing for my newest dragon age: origins playthrough. Wrex & Shepard quiet moment during the reaper war in me3. there are genuinely Too Many Critrole ideas to get into but just really quick: caleb/artagan jealousy-and-curiosity-motivated hookup during travelercon (i love when characters make the wrong choices). fjord/jester/caleb where fjord dies and caleb can see his ghost for blood pact reasons so he and jester decide to do some necromancy about it (i love when characters do necromancy). different-subclasses chroma conclave timeline au with pike and scanlan (i love making overcomplicated aus). grogleth follow-up to a fic i wrote in 2020 (this one isnt just a vague mention in an author’s note anymore i have a 4k outline for it now). there’s so many of these.

9. What’s your favorite line(s) or scene(s) that you have written?

ooooough i am um. indecisive. here’s four.

the onion spell conversation in soup on the stove:

“An onion spell,” Jester snickers, crunching her spoon through the cheesy toast that tops her bowl. “We can send it back to the rest of them, maybe they’ll leave you alone.” // “Oh, Martinet, I know you wanted me dead,” Essek offers, waving his own spoon in a very convincing surrender, “but have you considered my new spell for chopping onions? Think of what the world would lose if I were gone.”

sylvester cross at the bottom of a well in grow the roses of success:

He has performed this part in palaces and slums, on trains and in factories. Sometimes it leads to adulation. Sometimes it leads to cold stone under his back, lying in absolute darkness. // The oubliette is cold. He shivers with it, and smiles.

the artifice/artificial moment in stale taste for finer things:

She’s seen the woman out of armor before; she’s peeled back the chestpiece herself to get at wounds that defy the usual stimpak to the arm trick. This is different. She tries to put it in some kind of context, Tandi's portrait on NCR bills or some senator's wife or even Alice McLafferty in her pressed fucking suit on a hundred degree day, but she can't think her way around the tableau. The Courier is out of step with the whole damn world.

the two best lines from when you’re in trouble:

He swings like a pendulum over his doom, the grip of his sword growing slick with sweat. // Bertrand Bell is a scale that defies balance.

15: Are there words, phrases, mannerisms or scenes you tend to use a lot? 

i really really try not to repeat metaphors but i’m sure there are some that are in 90% of my fics, i just don’t notice them because i’m the one doing it lol. i definitely have a soft spot for characters overthinking things and i love a moment where you establish that the pov character is also the narrator (if that makes sense?), like with an in-character insult as part of a description. one other thing about me is i hate writing transition segments. you’re gonna get three dashes in a row and the next scene is gonna start, we’re not gonna talk about going to the door and leaving the room unless it’s Important to the Story.

this answer really got away from me but thank u so so much for the ask, as you can see i can talk about my fic. for forever.
