#please master Kenobi

[lizard-zombie]

I like Obi-Wan Kenobi. I think he’s cool.

[ziggyyyystardust]

I’m sorry but I hate the way people completely disregard the fact that Luke is a Jedi, like he’s literally the og Jedi?? I’ve seen a lot of people talk about how much “better” his new Jedi order would’ve been because he would’ve removed the attachment rules or whatever, and I think that that type of characterisation really disregards the essence of Luke’s character and what he stood for. People seem to cite him bringing his father back from the dark and being close with Leia but that doesn’t mean he’s attached to them in the way Jedi view attachment, he cared about his father because Luke is a caring person and wanted to help him, acting as if it’s only because Vaders his dad really disregards a lot of the character development Luke went through from a new hope till return of the Jedi.

Also it seems really odd to ignore it as he 1: shows a genuine want to become a Jedi and all that being a Jedi involves 2: (mainly rotj) cares what Yoda and Obi-Wan have to say and the advice they give him 3: says word for word “I am a Jedi” sure he may not have the training of a Jedi but it’s pretty clear that he really does care.

On a similar note - I’ve seen people talk about it but people also tend to disregard the fact that Luke was part of the rebellion?? It’s treated like “oh silly sunshine boy just wants to fly ships he doesn’t know what politics are🥰🥰” it completely infantilises his entire character, his beliefs and what he cares about. We see in ANH that he has interest in the rebellion, knows of the clone wars and vaguely of the Jedi, and in the deleted scene with Biggs they both talk about defecting to the rebellion and fighting against the empire. These scenes clearly show his political beliefs and how he was against the empire even before they killed his Aunt and Uncle. It does him a disservice to ignore who he is as a person and to treat him as if he’s just a child who likes ships, it removes any sense of agency or conviction when he’s treated that way

Point is I wish more people would treat him like a mature adult who is capable of making his own choices and is an actual Jedi who follows the code.

[lauransoverthinking]

Currently overthinking: how obsessed some of fandom is with the idea of punishment for the sake of punishment, instead of learning from mistakes, and how the Jedi are very clearly team learn and grow.

The most “punishment” thing I can think of that we see the Jedi do is assigning Ahsoka to archives duty, but that is clearly meant as ‘get you off the front lines and have you reflect on your actions’ time, not so much a true punishment.

Where we see the Jedi go hard on proclaiming their allegiance to team learn and grow is Dark Disciple (if you haven’t read and don’t want to be spoiled, turn back now because I am about to spoil the shit out of that book).

Vos falls.

Not just dabble a little in the dark side falls.

Falls and pledges himself to Dooku and kills Jedi and clones.

Jedi Knight Kav Bayons

Jedi Knight Akar-Deshu

They died because of Vos.

It can be argued it was unintentional (Vos shoved Deshu into Bayons causing Deshu to sting Bayons. Losing his stinger also would have killed Deshu, but Vos killed him first) but that doesn’t change the fact that Vos is responsible for the deaths of two Jedi, as well as the clones killed in his escape with Dooku (catch me being forever salty over the unnamed clones who die).

He goes by Admiral Enigma and terrorizes the GAR for months.

When the story resolves and Vos returns to the light, do we see him thrown in prison? Executed?

No. We don’t see either of those things.

We see the council intentionally obfuscate and hide these facts from the military (because the military does love punishment and executions).

We see Vos confined to the temple while he heals.

We see Master Yoda spend extra time with him to ensure he rehabilitates successfully.

We see a probationary period to determine if he has really came back to the light.

This is extra important because earlier in the story we saw him return to the Jedi and fool them (some of them, Master Windu was so suspicious of him because Master Windu is a smart smart person)!

And yet, they still believed that he could return to the light and should be given that opportunity.

And he does! He comes back. And he resumes his role in the war. And when everything falls apart he continues trying to help.

And he gets that opportunity because the Jedi do not believe in punishment as justice the way some do.

Repentance and growth. That is the Jedi.

And yet, every day, I see people trying to set the Jedi up as enforcers of prison terms and executioners, because they don’t think people got what they ‘deserved’ in canon.

But that is all a gross misrepresentation of the Jedi.

Ahsoka’s trial and possible execution was not the way the Jedi would have proceeded- it was the GAR and the Republic. Which is probably why the GAR ensured the Jedi couldn’t handle it themselves - there would have been no justice theatre and no blood.

It is not pro-Jedi to insist on punishment and retribution as justice. At its heart, punishment is revenge. And revenge is not the Jedi way.

While i'm finishing Thrawn: Alliances..

Can people reblog with other star wars book recommendations please :)

[captainkirkk]

Do you ever think about how obi is the youngest on the council? All of his. colleagues remember him as a baby and an angry teenager. I would die if that was my workplace

ONLY ALL THE TIME

Obi-Wan getting jokingly called the "Council baby" in fics brings me so much joy. They recall when he was a feral, traumatised kid who would constantly get into trouble (though not much has changed there.....). Yoda has padawan photos. After Obi-Wan fucked up on a mission and landed himself in medbay, Yoda probably forwarded them to the rest of the council as punishment for getting hurt. Obi-Wan is STILL mad about it.

Anakin flat-out doesn't believe any of this, until Adi shows him a video of Qui-Gon dangling a squirming teenage Obi-Wan by the back of his robes like a mama tooka to stop him from leaping at another padawan and taking a chunk out of him

B1 series battle droid: Drop your weapons!

Y/n, now facing Ahsoka: DrOp YoUr WeApOn JeDi!

Ahsoka: RoGeR rOgEr!

Obi-Wan: Girls...what the-?

Yoda: Alone them leave, Obi-Wan. Your time waste do not

Obi-Wan: Anakin, please do something..

Anakin, in a solemn tone: Yes Master.

Always Anakin, running towards you and Ahsoka: RoGeR rOgEr Y/n!

Y/n: *wheezing*

Ahsoka: WHAT THE FU- *starts to laugh*

Windu: AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHY YOU'RE NOT A FUCKING MASTER, SKYWALKER!

Left Me with You

Anakin hated when he took away Obi-Wan's happiness, even if it was just pretend.

Sad Obi-Wan is just my favorite thing to write. Apparently. This fic is kinda long and is already up on my Ao3.

─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───

It wasn't often that Obi-Wan and Anakin got to go on meditative retreat together. But even then, as Obi-Wan sat in the field, eyes closed and legs crossed, he could feel it within him, Anakin would be happier if he wasn't here. Obi-Wan opened his eyes, brows furrowed and a concerned frown. He wished he could talk to Anakin about it, but talking wasn't something they did. Obi-Wan wondered of all Anakin would say, if he could speak openly of his love, Obi-Wan smiled at the thought of Anakin, the sparkle of love in his eyes. The sparkle of life. But that smile didn't last long, Anakin would never tell him all about his love, and Obi-Wan would never ask. He wouldn't ruin Anakin's happiness, it was such a rare thing, and Obi-Wan never wanted Anakin to go without it, not if he didn't have to.

Obi-Wan stood up, wrapping his robe around him as he started back to the small vacation home Padme had so graciously allowed them to stay in. He walked among the wildflowers, but he didn't stop to pick a few. They were beautiful, but the moment he touched them, the moment he plucked them from their home, they would die, the moment Obi-Wan touched those beautiful flowers, they would die. So he kept walking, he let them live, he would not touch them, and he would live because Obi-Wan didn't go anywhere near them.

Reaching the house, he took off his sandals and walked into the kitchen. He looked on the counter and saw a vase. Obi-Wan felt as if he'd been struck, those flowers, those beautiful flowers that Obi-Wan had been so tempted to kneel down beside, to take in the smell of spring, to pluck them from their home for his own selfish desires. Those beautiful flowers were impossible not to notice, and now they were on full display as they died- "Hey Obi-Wan," it was Anakin's voice, but Obi-Wan could not stop the ringing in his head long enough to focus, "-picked the flowers-" The sound of flickering embers. "-They're really nice, they smell really good-" he would've led such a meaningful life. "Obi-Wan?"

Obi-Wan looked up, he found Anakin, "Oh, Anakin," a familiar smile found its way to Obi-Wan's face as he walked over and smelled the flowers, 'I'm so sorry, Master-' he closed his eyes, the smell of spring, early morning rainfall and late night firefly catching. He opened his eyes, "How was the lake?"

Anakin's own smile flickered on his face, but if Obi-Wan didn't want to talk, they wouldn't. Talking wasn't something they did. "It was nice, Master." Anakin remembered fondly, "The water was cool but in the sun," Anakin chuckled, "Man, I almost fell asleep, that's why I came back," Anakin opened the fridge with the intention of finding a snack but he couldn't help his thoughts wandering and lingering on Obi-Wan. Even though they hadn't even been remotely close, Anakin could sense his Master's sorrow. He'd worried about this. He hadn't wanted Obi-Wan to come to Naboo, Anakin had asked Obi-Wan if he'd want to go somewhere else, anywhere else but here. Anakin could sense it since the moment they arrived, Obi-Wan would be happier if he wasn't here.

"Master," Anakin's voice seemed on edge, it certainly caught Obi-Wan's attention, for Anakin could sense Obi-Wan straightening up and crossing his arms. Prepared to ricochet any shots.

"Yes, Anakin?" But his voice was soft, giving nothing away, not his fear, not his anger, not his sorrow. Obi-Wan was always so good at pretending, but Anakin knew that for all of Obi-Wan's confidence, he didn't really mean it.

"We're still gonna be here in four days," Anakin could dance around the point, that was how it worked. Neither one of them dared to look the other in the eye, for both were far too afraid to address all the damage they'd done to the other.

"Yes, we are," Obi-Wan nodded, walking over to the cabinet and looking at the tea. He was so good at that. "Do you want a cup of tea?" He wasn't going to give in, he couldn't.

Anakin nodded, maybe he should drop it, but how could he ignore Obi-Wan's trembling hands? "Master," Anakin said again, Obi-Wan turned, that knowing smile on his face. "It'll be twelve years..."

Obi-Wan felt as if he'd been punched in the gut, the mug became impossibly heavy he could only put it down. His stomach twisted in knots as he struggled to turn to meet Anakin's gaze, "Yes," He mustered out, but his voice trembled. Every year, from the first year to today, Obi-Wan was never any better, he never missed Qui-Gon any less. Obi-Wan resigned, bowing his head, looking down at the counter, "Why do you bring it up?"

Anakin might as well of gut punched Obi-Wan then and there, that would hurt less. He looked at his master, hunched over, fists clenched Anakin could see the white of his knuckles, stray hairs hiding his face and his shoulders tense. He shouldn't have said anything. They didn't talk about things like this, this was why, Anakin. "-When I lost my mother," Anakin's throat went dry, he found it so hard to speak. "When she died-" he looked away, "I can't remember what she sounds like," Anakin wanted to laugh, if only to show Obi-Wan he was okay. "I don't remember her laugh or that song she'd sing while doing laundry, even though she sang it every time she did the-" Anakin hung his head, oh- Oh. What had he done?

Obi-Wan looked up through his hair, he looked terribly alone. "Anakin..." Obi-Wan walked over to Anakin, reaching out his hand, but Anakin remembered the point of all this pain.

"-I still think about my mother, so I know you still think of Qui-Gon." Anakin's voice was quiet, but Obi-Wan heard, like blaster fire, it was all he could hear, it was deafening.

It might've taken Anakin losing his own mother to realize the root of all those tears Obi-Wan cried. He remembered those first few weeks, Obi-Wan was sad all the time, he'd cry after he'd put Anakin to bed, he'd cry after meetings with the council, he'd cry, hand covering his mouth as he realized he was really pathetic. To still not be alright, to still be crying months after. To always be sad. Anakin knew now, Obi-Wan felt like a scared little kid, so he'd cry, he'd cry and cry hoping Qui-Gon would come to tell him not to be afraid, to sing a lullaby and silly songs while doing laundry. But he never came and one day Obi-Wan stopped crying, he didn't cry after a hard mission, not a tear after remembrance ceremonies, not even watery eyes after being told 'you're so much like your master.' Obi-Wan didn't cry, but he cut his hair, meditated on sleepless nights, held his lightsaber to stop his shaking hands. But he did not cry, he did not cry. He would not cry, not in front of Anakin, not in front of anyone. Not anymore.

The tears stopped but the pain never did. It was only a few short years ago Obi-Wan decided he would never cry in front of Anakin and up until now Obi-Wan stood by his vow. But here, right now, Anakin knew him completely, all his pathetic pain and sorrow. His infinite sadness and self-effacing jokes. He'd never let anyone know how sad he would always be, certainly not. But he couldn't hide his water-colored eyes from Anakin, even though they didn't talk, of course he knew. Obi-Wan's voice trembled and all the strength and poise he'd so carefully crafted fell apart. Obi-Wan felt his eyes water, "Oh, Anakin," his voice cracked, "I'm so sorry-" Obi-Wan shook his head, he couldn't look at Anakin, not after the face he made. Oh, Anakin's face. All of Obi-Wan's pain fell into embarrassment, he couldn't pull himself together, and he was so sorry that he couldn't. "I'm sorry, Anakin, for all of this-" for all of me-

Anakin felt everything within him stop, he couldn't think, he couldn't move, he couldn't breathe, Obi-Wan hadn't cried in so long- and all it took was Anakin to open his damned mouth to change that. "Please don't cry, Master, please Obi-Wan-" Anakin looked down, voice trembling, all he could do was beg, "I hate it when you cry-" He really did, he hated not being listened to, being talked over and feeling powerless, but what he hated most, more than his own pain and frustration, what seeing that frustration in those he loved. He hated when Padme worked really hard on a speech to not be heard at all, when Ahsoka cried because she missed her friends, when Rex lost a brother. Anakin hated that he couldn't take their pain away, and most of all, he hated that Obi-Wan was sad, he hated that nothing would ever make him truly happy, Anakin hated he couldn't do anything to ease his pain, he hated when Obi-Wan cried because he became powerless, Anakin was a little kid all over again, unable to think because, like his mother, there was nothing he could do to make her tears stop, there was nothing he could do to make Obi-Wan's tears stop.

Obi-Wan wiped his eyes, his forced smile was so similar to his real one, if Anakin didn't know Obi-Wan, he wouldn't know the difference. How many people didn't know the difference? "Anakin, I do apologize," Obi-Wan took a deep breath, pulling himself back in, shoving all this pain down. He came over to Anakin and pulled his former padawan into a hug, "I'm alright, we'll be alright." His voice was so assuring, so knowing, so void of all his suffering. There it was, that holy resignation. Obi-Wan forgetting himself for the sake of others around him, there it was, his unrequiting selflessness.

Anakin held him tightly, just for a moment as he was safe in his master's arms, he felt a wave of grief sweep him out to sea, his feet swept out beneath him; Anakin was so afraid to let go of Obi-Wan, for he'd surely drown, "I miss my mom-" he'd never admit this, not now anyway, but he'd let himself remember his mother's smile, that soft glow in her eyes, the lines of age framing her eternal beauty, he could almost hear her now, "I still feel like a little kid without her-"

Obi-Wan would not let go until Anakin was ready, and when he was, Anakin wiped his eyes, stepping back into the man he'd grown into, a man without a mother. He looked down at Obi-Wan and he didn't see his Master, he saw a man without a father. It was just the two of them as they were, true Jedi: without a mother, without a father. Their family was the Jedi, but to consider the Jedi their family would be forming an attachment, would it not? Obi-Wan had long pondered that, late into sleepless nights, staring at the ceiling. If he was supposed to be ever compassionate, ever loving; if he was raised to love through love, it was rather hard to not become lost in feelings of attachment. "... That never really goes away." Obi-Wan whispered, he still felt like a padawan, he always wished Qui-Gon was still here, that Obi-Wan was still a son. But he wasn't, and Obi-Wan wasn't.

Anakin held his master tight, but not out of his own sorrow, what about Obi-Wan? Anakin remembered council meetings, the two watched by all of their ever-caring stares, all debating Anakin's future with the Jedi, but what about Obi-Wan? If they ever asked about his well-being, Anakin would never know if, in those early days, they made Obi-Wan feel worse by questioning his ability to do this on his own. "Master," Anakin pulled out of their hug, Obi-Wan was all put back together again, with tape and glue, "You don't have to pretend you're alright, not with me."

Obi-Wan's smile flickered, that sadness flooding back into his eyes, "Anakin," Obi-Wan looked down, he almost wanted to laugh, "Oh, you've grown up, haven't you?" He saw Anakin's smile, too bad it was born from sorrow, "You've become the Jedi I always dreamed you would be."

"-And you've become the Jedi Qui-Gon always dreamed you would be-" Anakin put his hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder, he didn't need to be told, but perhaps it was a nice reminder, "Qui-Gon would be proud of the man you've grown into, Master, you are an honorable Jedi, and a good master, even if at times I didn't think so." This time Anakin laughed, and Obi-Wan almost did too. There was a moment, Obi-Wan had fallen into his thoughts but Anakin's voice brought him back, "What I'm saying, is that it's okay to tell me that you miss him," It's okay if you tell me that you cut your hair after I told you that you looked like him; It's alright if you tell me you hold onto your lightsaber because it makes you feel safe; It's okay if you tell me you meditate instead of sleeping because you only have nightmares of that day; It's okay if you tell me you cry when there's no one around because you want everyone to think you're okay now. "It's okay for you to miss him, Obi-Wan, I know how much you loved him-"

Anakin watched Obi-Wan's eyes flicker, perhaps with surprise, perhaps embarrassment, as if loving the man who raised you as his own was something to be ashamed of. As if mourning Qui-Gon like Anakin mourned his mother was wrong. Anakin put a reassuring hand on Obi-Wan's shoulder, sensing the cracks in his master's facade, "It's alright.... If you tell me that you loved him-" Anakin whispered.

Obi-Wan looked up, taking a deep breath, he looked up at his padawan, oh, when did he grow up? He was far beyond that little boy on Tatooine, Anakin had grown up into a Jedi Knight, and now they served together not as master and apprentice, but side by side as Jedi Knights. Obi-Wan blinked and Anakin wasn't scared to let go of Obi-Wan's hand, he wasn't heading to the padawan dining hall, he wasn't practicing his form. No, Obi-Wan blinked and Anakin was putting himself in the line of fire to protect others, bringing meals to Obi-Wan's chambers so they can eat together, making form videos for Ahsoka, Obi-Wan had trained him as best as he was able, and somewhere in the last twelve years, Anakin grew up. Obi-Wan had a sorrowful realization from such a miraculous thing, Anakin had grown up. They worked alongside each other as Jedi Knights, and now Obi-Wan had what he dreamed of, he had what he always wanted, what Qui-Gon always wanted.

─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───

The problem is that you're not the Jedi you should be, you're not the Jedi your master wanted and trained you to be, you're a Jedi Master, member of the Jedi Council, but really, you're still just a padawan whose master died, and you never got over it.

[marinalor]

Anybody knows in what order I should watch Star Wars?

Please help me, The internet confuses me so much🥺🙏🏽

[backpackingspace]

Okay but qui gon a tired old man watching 17 year old obi wan vibrate out of his skin and babble in a language he didn't know two weeks ago, contemplating if it's worth turning obi wan lose for night (they've been in the library for ten hours now) vs the knowledge that he cannot leave obi wan unsupervised because his disaster child will either a invent a new weapon, b get kidnapped or c get arrested and will probably end up horribly Injured besides.

Meanwhile tiny 17 year old obi wan cannot figure out what he's done wrong now to make his master stare at him like that. He's hungry he's tired and qui gon has not let him go anywhere thst was not classes or the library. They haven't even trained with sabers this week He found the key to translating the next part of the stupid useless prophecy. He hadnt asked too many questions he thought but maybe he had been wrong maybe he had gotten the translation wrong or or or and now he's going to have to explain why he's panicking over nothing

[chaoticly-shy-dragon]

Cool idea I had: time travel au where teenage Anakin gets send back in time to meet padawan Obi-Wan and his disaster of a Master.

Things go to hell really quickly considering a 16yo Anakin hates severely dislikes his Master while also thinking he is the most amazing thing to walk the earth. ...and Qui-Gon is criticizing his Master for not teaching him emotional control which Anakin does not appreciate. He thought Qui-Gon was cool deathstick smoker, not Council member material. OH! Also - the Council and Anakin bonding. For the fun of it.

[machinatings]

You know how obi wan goes from “you don’t need those” to buying the gloves for leia in like one second? I know for a fact that in that second he had a flashback to every time he’s had that exact argument with anakin and decided then and there it just wasn’t worth it

[bluevelvt]

reading Master & Apprentice by Claudia Gray and obi wan is just asking qui gon what the hell these prophecies even mean and i also want to know what they mean?

“She who will born to darkness will give birth to darkness” maybe shmi giving birth to anakin? if she was born into slavery and not sold to it then that’s the only thing that makes sense to me?

“When the kyber that is not kyber shines forth, the time of the prophecy will be at hand” straight up no clue with this one

“When the righteous lose the light, evil once dead shall return” this one is obvious, the jedi being the righteous and losing the light as they’ve stopped being peacekeepers and are now generals leading a war, allowing the sith to get their revenge after a millennia

really need to figure out the first two! help me somebody with more knowledge of star wars (idk maybe @gffa ?) you’re my only hope

But things are not as they seem and Obi-Wan and Anakin soon learn that it takes more to overcome your past than a few meditation hours and some tinkering.

[cassi-llusion]

Most Anti-Jedi people do like the Jedi for weird reasons. No hate because I also don't care for the Jedi but like ah.

A lot of the posts I see are mostly rooted in love for Anakin and how the Jedi caused his downfall because the Jedi "didn't care"(for lack of better examples this is what we are going with). Sure yeah the Jedi could've done better but also their priorities were elsewhere.

During the Clone Wars, there were less than 10,000 Jedi who were dispersed all over the Galaxy because of the war. The Council's focus was not on "saving" their chosen one.

But throughout this time, the Jedi became more of a police force working for the Republic than a group trying to restore peace. They thought they were, but you can tell as the series progresses, more Jedi begin to lose both faith in the Jedi and in the Republic.

This was Palpatine's plan though, to make the Jedi more and more untrustworthy and scary. Let them ruin their own reputation so that when Order 66 happened and the Empire rose to power, people no longer had faith in the Jedi.

I don't know where this was going, but do with this what you will.

[thywildwind]

Hello, I would love to hear more about your AUs ❤️ Truthfully I'm in need of something soft or/and funny so if you wanted to tell us some stuff about your reverse AU, or the Forest Spirit one or more about coffeeshop AU I would be delighted to hear it ❤️

hello there! it’s very sweet of you, thank you <з

my reverse au is purely self-indulgent, because I wanted some soft and pining asexual idiots! there are works with demisexual Anakin I like, but I’ve never seen acespec Obi-Wan (which he is, according to canon, but... well. people are horny and we let them be), so it all started as a gentle mockery of suggestive impressions to lessen my insecurity about being asexual and to get a laugh out of it, and then the au transformed into ‘how much suggestive kneeling situations can I put smol Obi-Wan into before it starts getting awfully ridiculous?’

(the answer is... a lot. it is 5+1 au for a reason).

reverse au has a lot of soft touching and bickering! I’m aiming at soft-burn of sorts, where they are so smitten they don’t notice other’s romantic feelings & affection (isn’t it a given?); I can give you some headcanons I keep in mind while writing it:

Anakin does Obi-Wan’s plait after every shower and/or when Obi-Wan messes up his hair. Anakin likes plaiting Obi-Wan’s hair. he really does.

Anakin is an excellent cook and he likes it when Obi-Wan helps him (even if Obi-Wan can only make tea and eggs), but if Obi-Wan can’t or doesn’t want to help, Anakin insists he’s with him in the kitchen! and Obi-Wan likes to be in Anakin’s presence, because he is warm and loving. I like it when one’s significant one is there to entertain them or make it a livelier experience!

Anakin is ace and he is Very Oblivious to how his good looks affect people, but Obi-Wan is not, so he has unconsciously started on... territorial things. walking closer to Anakin, brushing his shoulders more times than strictly necessary, keeping training salle quite chilly, so Anakin wouldn’t take his tunics completely off.

Obi-Wan despises ships and maintenance, but Anakin adores it, so Obi-Wan keeps him company every time. it is both a pleasant and educational experience, because he spends time with his love of his life Master, and he learns some things mechanic, as well as fixing tricks, because Anakin likes to ramble about engines and spark plugs and pressure sensors out loud.

Anakin calls Obi-Wan either Padawan mine or by his name; I peg him as a person who’s very open with physical affection—neck touching, hair plaiting, palms caresses—but he might be somewhat reluctant to voice it. name-calling is intimate for him, he doesn’t want other people’s attention aimed at their pair just because Anakin calls Obi-Wan some lovely (in Obi-Wan’s very humble opinion) name, like stardust or my moon. I believe he won’t openly call Obi-Wan any sweetheart-dear-darling-angel names: he will use a foreign language. it’s silly and he knows it; damn, he calls Obi-Wan his love in Galactic Basic, but other names are too personal and sacred. if someone hears and knows its meaning—then, well, they must know better than bring it up. things said in foreign languages must be left in foreign languages, let the babes have some privacy((

Anakin is into gift-giving. that’s it. he gifts Obi-Wan plenty of things, and the Jedi may not have personal possessions, but what is a shimmersilk hair-tie? or a velvet strap for french-plaiting? or a hand-made holo night-light star systems projector (??the fuck do I call it, really?) for Obi-Wan to easily fall asleep, with twinkling stars and revolving planets?? it is??very cute??? and it has a sleep mode, so the projector turns off when it senses Obi-Wan is in deep sleep phase?? Anakin is Considerate.

Anakin thinks he is embarrassing for the starship models collection he keeps somewhere in his room, but Obi-Wan is the only one who saves credits to buy him those starship models. even if they are smuggled. sh-h.

they bond over space jellyfish documentaries from holonet sea & space research company, because Obi-Wan likes twinkling things, be it a hair-tie, a night-light or a living creature. Anakin finds it amusing and adorable, and they often go through their scheduled lightsabre maintenance with these documentaries in the background (Obi-Wan is very easy to distract with red-shining floating jelly, so Anakin finishes for them both and lets Obi-Wan get his jellyfish facts fill. and peaceful night in, of course).

oh, right. they like mouth kisses. gentle and unhurried, and they hold each other as precious creatures they are to one another. Anakin is (very obviously) into Obi-Wan’s hair, Obi-Wan is into Anakin’s everything, and they made it work, make it work and are and will make it work.

that’s it, I believe. I can go on for hours, and I would like to get into another aus sometime later! hope this gives you some comfort, lovely.

thank you for visiting my soft ace!obikin TEDtalk, it was very nice getting to know them with you.

[purplenerd777]

sorry if someone has already said this before/better than me but "your need for victory anakin, it blinds you" yes it is explicitly referencing vader blindly hunting obi-wan the entire series but it's also an amazing nod to the mustafar fight, because if anakin had just let obi-wan go/acknowledge that he couldn't beat him he wouldn't have been almost killed and left for dead on mustafar
