#obi-wan is unreasonable in that au <3

[tennessoui]

Just read the werewolf au. I'm obsessed! It was so good! There's just something about Obi-Wan still calling Anakin padawan after he's been knighted. I think that's my favorite "pet name" for them. And Obi-Wan making him wear his cloak as a little scent protection bubble, A plus! I think feral Obi-Wan is a top 5 Obi-Wan for me. I'm a sucker for normally put together character is suddenly (violently) not so put together. Thank you!

werewolf obi-wan: i am not controlled by my instincts

anakin, eyebrows raised: ok then i am going to wear my own cloak on the off-planet missio---

werewolf obi-wan: well ok wait a second let's not get hasty about this also put that back on right now or i am going to respectfully lose my shit

As far as I know we have never discussed a death gate star wars au and I feel like you'd have great ideas for that....

Now, you see, I thought about it before once or twice- hyperfixation brain go brrr- but the thing is the only era in which I can even vaguely imagine a translation, at least from how I see it, is old republic, and idk shit about old republic because I got stuck in Rather Early But Also Just Enough Two Digits Of Hours In That I Wouldn't Want To Replay To That Point fight in Kotor before my laptops died. Also my deepest issue with it is my constant awareness or at least Constant Clouding Opinion that Star Wars does not know what to do with the *concept* of non-combatants and yeah ok it's thee origin Summer Scifi Action flick, but like. As involved and invested as I am in the idea of exploring, reading, expanding and improving star wars's content in the realm of weaponless heros and heroism, and I am unreasonably invested in that, especially for a franchise called Star WARS, that's what I look like while trying and half succeeding to turn off that side of my brain so I can enjoy the rest of the setting. I dare not rouse that sleeping dragon (quip unintended but haha) in my brain when it comes to internally screaming about dgc in the middle of the night.

So au headcanons, no (besides the realization that if I had one I would make dog a droid, wouldn't I. Self awareness (derogatory) ), but this up to now is kinda three out of five Star Wars Death Gate thoughts by my loose count, so two more, based on connections existing in my head:

-remember when I texted you angstily while rewatching revenge of the sith? Yeah. yeah. Thank god haplo managed to break out of the "Being Manipulated Into Evil Minion-hood By Horrible Old Men Who Go By The Name Lord Emperor Evilguy, A Manipulation Fueled And Amplified By The Fact The Evil Old Men Offer Answers For A Multitude Of Vexing Issues Such As, 'Toxic Section-ulinity Told Me I'm Not Allowed To Get Attached To Anyone But I Can't Stop Myself From Being A Living Person And The Turmoil Is Fucking Me Up', 'I Was Born Into Immense Trauma Like My Parents Before Me And Since I Watched Them Die I Am Fuming With A Need For Revenege', 'Oh No, Wife Have Baby?? I Am Having Many Emotion', and 'I Mean Elitist Lightguys Republic Sucks And Hurt Me So Surely Iron-Fist Of World Domination Dictatorship Is A Good Option. Let's Get That Bread :)' " pipeline while he had the chance. Ninties to early two. Is anybody teaching them to love or are they gonna go crazy with hate and repressed instinct of deep love, justice, and protection until some blue eyed orphan from a waterless world shows up to say 'wait a minute. I don't want to kill you. I'm not gonna kill you. so we better find another way of getting all this war and suffering over with? Please. thank you.' like I don't think haplo and Anakin are alike- they're v different and their arcs are very different- but I do hope that if Anakin ever decided to show up to the Emil Venn Diagram Angry Trauma Lad table uninvited after I read some intense au Haplo will notice him there, put a hand on his shoulder and go You poor poor kid <3 wtf <3 let's get you something. You should cut these specific people from your life and also get better about some things. Sorry about your mom and the hand stuff.

Text wise this is way too much but I want my fifth spot! Obi wan this threepio that the true character Alfred should sit with is Leia she is nineteen and her entire planet blew up and now they want her to lead shit?? She needs some support and a hug. Or bodhi! The same happened to him except he also defected out of the empire despite being an anxious everyman (referred to in the novelization as The Coward multiples times) because 'it spoke to his heart and he had to do the right thing' and then after doing that got tortured by a horrible monster. And is now third wheeling a pair of Survival First Little Lady Repression and The Cause Is What I'm Alive For Quiet Man Spy Repression.

Sorry for literally not having an answer for you and then dumping 1000 words on you anyways <3 that's how the cookie crumbles sorry

I had my evening unexpectedly free, so I present:

My top ten tennessoui au’s of 2022 (specifically the small ones/ones that don’t have fics)

Gone, but not forgotten 😔🙏 (/j)

(9) - Freudian slip au (it has a fic BUT IT ISNT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH!!! I LOVE IT SM!!!!)

(8) - cheating au (ONE OF MY FAVES!!!! gets posted about a lot tho so it’s high up the list)

(7) - pool boy au (i feel like everyone forgot about this one BUT I DIDN’T!!!)

(6) - remedial mechanics au (this one slips my mind every so often but then I get the joy of rediscovering it)

(5) - pirates of the caribbean au (this was literally my life line at one point I’m not even joking. it’s not my favourite anymore, but it’s close to my heart fr)

(4) bartender au/when all we have are shadows (MY LIGHT!!! MY LOVE!!! MY EVERYTHING!!!!!)

(3) - professor can fvck me au (I ALMOST FORGOT THIS ONE BUT ITS ACTUALLY THE BEST)

(2) - twilight au (IT MAKES ME SO FERAL AJSJSJ PLS ITS SO SMALL IN COMPARISON TO THE OTHERS BUT IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME AHAHAH)

(1) - bodyguard au (*INCOHERENT SCREAMING* ITS JUST SO AND I JUST AND ITS SO AND I LOVE AND ITS JUST AND YEAH ITS SO)

honourable mentions:

- that one actors au that im pretty sure I dreamt???? they’re fake dating but actually real dating and it’s a whole thing and it made me giggle and kick my feet n shi 🤭

- haunted house fic from like 2 years ago?? was that real???? or am i crazy???

also literally all of ur au’s omg they all make me 🥹😍😞🤩😭🥵😱🤭

LOL omg thank you so much for this

(playmaker au)(freudian slip au)(cheating au)(pool boy au)(remedial mechanics au)(pirates of the caribbean au--squick tag: a/b/o)(bartender au)(professor can fuck me au)(twilight au)(bodyguard au)

(honorable mentions: costars au, haunted house au)

i literally adore asks like this because i have so many aus and stories but when people tell me a list of their favorites im like ooooh ok i think i can see the sort of dynamic you like the most (at least in my writing) based on the things most of these aus have in common for example most of these feature a gruff, rough around the edges obi-wan --probably tattooed-- coupled with an earnest, pretty boy anakin who obi-wan is a tad unreasonable about. one of them is really into their age difference and the potential power dynamics there. it's probably anakin, but obi-wan is gonna get a lot of pleasure out of it too

this is sooooo valid we love a toppy obi-wan who wants to pinch at the bridge of his nose in frustration until his partner slips onto his lap and kisses away his worry lines even though he tries to remain grouchy etc etc
