fanon: "jedi are prob allowed to have romance n' stuff it's just like secondary to their responsibilities and no one really cares"

the jedi in their preeminent text The Jedi Path: "ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT. IF YOU EVEN THINK FOR ONE MILLISECOND OF HAVING ATTACHMENT TO ANYONE, EVER, PERSONALLY YOU, YEA YOU, YOU SPECIFICALLY ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE ORDER. IN FACT IF YOURE EVEN READING THIS AT ALL IT MUST BE BC YOU CONSIDERED IT! wow... sad. so JUST GIVE UP AND DRAG YOUR MISERABLE WASTED ASS OUT OF THE DOOR YOU PATHETIC, CONTEMPTABLE DISAPPOINTMENT"

#im sitting here like blinking #lol #they definitely draw parallels to extremism in these books on purpose #other than their positive qualities #it is meant to highlight the more extreme rules of the instituiton #at one point they even say 'without our texts how would anyone even know the force existed???'#like hm the jedi didnt invent the force bruh #its cool i love these books #and the insight of them #i mean the pressure on them all!#ofc they grew up with it #but an outsider or someone who came in late like anakin would see them as bizarre and even not truly in touch with ppl #or themselves #not even romantically speaking #but you can see the foreignness there #and why ppl may see them in a certain light #and why their beliefs might disrupt true connection sometimes #and why palpatine was able tk turn the public against them #you could argue they were so strict bc of how powerful they were #it's of course a very interesting situation #it becomes obvious why it was so hard for obiwan to admit his attachment to anakin and ahsoka #also id love to live in the order lmaoooo id love to live among ppl who never think of romance ever
