#and Sheari (giving off the charts insane it’s always sunny red string investigation meme)

[tennessoui]

I heard a quote today and it made me think of your couples counseling fic. It was about the walls and defenses we build in our mind and how that can only push people away. But "two vulnerable people will always find a way to connect." And I can just totally see Sheari saying that to obikin

I can so easily see this tbh

and also I can so easily see both obi-wan and anakin being like “IM the vulnerable one!!! He’s the one with the sky high shields and walls and defenses!!!”

and probably Sheari, who spent an entire night drinking wine and researching war tactics with her wife because maybe if she can speak their language, the generals will be able to understand her, is like “ok ok ok well in a battle, what do you try to do when your opponent has very strong defenses you can’t knock through immediately?”

and the two generals turn to look at each other very obviously using their mental bond to discuss war tactics before they turn back to her and they’re like “if the enemy is stationary and secure behind walls, siege. If they’re out on open level field same as us, trench warfare.”

and sheari’s like “ok ok good so why don’t you apply the same logic to your partner? dig a trench, wait him out. Stay. That’s the important part. No one wants to be vulnerable with someone they think is about to leave or capable of leaving”

but she’s lost them because Anakin disagrees with sieges on principle and they’re now arguing about which tactics of war are more effective and they’ve completely lost the plot and are too focused and kriffing stupid to pay attention to the metaphor
