#sorry to the blue shirt and apron you were soooo hot

[theseptemberist]

i love how obi-wan’s clothing reflects his character arc. the show makes it so clear that his costumes are tied to his sense of self identity. they mirror his emotional progression, from the blue shirt to the wrap-style tunic to, after everything, alec guinness’s costume in ANH.

what’s so striking about the costume design here is the lack of variation in obi-wan’s past appearances. we see him in similar jedi robes because obi-wan functionally is the “ideal” jedi. his tidy and layered robes represent his decorum, his emotional control, his sense of inner peace. barely showing a sliver of skin, he is benevolent, consistent, unassailable. he draws a striking contrast with anakin, who appears either armored in intimidating dark leather or stripped down and exposed in his most vulnerable and emotional moments.

all of this changes in the show. we see him wearing *gasp* COOL TONES. he dons a jedi robe that seems ill fitting for the man he’s become. and then he is quite literally broken down and stripped of his defensive disguise, and comes out of the experience with cautiosly renewed hope and an outfit to match. (see @intermundia’s excellent meta for more on the symbolism of obi-wan having a bath)

bringing it around to the ANH costume, the ultimate end point— i’ve heard complaints that it was used as the basis of jedi robes (or that obi-wan is calling attention to himself by dressing that way) but star wars has always been about aesthetics and visual symbolism first and foremost. in light of the costume design of the show, that costume becomes something beautiful, a culmination of all the pain and healing that forged the wise and balanced old master he became by the end of his life.

obi-wan’s decision to readopt the jedi robe in exile now symbolizes the reclamation of his identity. it represents his rejection of despair and his embrace of jedi ideals— that emotions must be accepted and released, that compassion is a strength, that hope is never truly lost. he must still remain in hiding but he’s no longer hiding. he finally accepts his guilt, his responsibility to the galaxy, the truth of who he is. his appearance reflects his heart.

and, though he may have lost faith for a time, at heart obi-wan kenobi is and has always been a jedi.

Masterlist

You stretch as you wake up, your back popping in about 100 places. God, that felt nice, you think to yourself. It was 10am on a Saturday, and you didn’t have to be at work until 4. You yawn, picking up your phone to check your notifications. You gasp, horrified to see that you had fallen asleep before sending your text to Steve. He, however, had texted you about twenty minutes ago.

Steve <3: “Good morning, babe. We’re going to head out in about 45 minutes or so. You can go ahead and call me if you’re up before then. If not, I’ll call you tonight when we’re back.”

You open the selfie camera on your phone and fix your hair, making sure you don’t look that bad. You smile as you call Steve via FaceTime. He picks up after the first ring. Your eyes widen as you see him in his stealth soon.

He grins at you. “Hey, gorgeous! Man, am I glad I got to see you before we head out. How’d you sleep?”

“Not nearly as well as I did the night before. The bed was missing something… or someone,” you wink at him.

He groans, “you’re killing me over here, doll. I do have good news, though.”

You raise an eyebrow at him, “oh yeah? What’s that?”

“This is gonna be a fairly quick mission, I should be home tomorrow afternoon or evening,” he grins at you.

You squeal, “well, sweetheart, I think you just made my day. By the way, that outfit you’re wearing now is making me feel a lot of different things,” you wink at him.

Steve looks around, shifting his weight in his seat, “God I can’t wait to get back.”

“Why’s that?” You smirk at him.

“Oh, baby, when I get back, I’m going to love you so hard. I’ll spoil you.”

You moan softly, crossing your legs as you feel wetness between your legs, “Steve, is that a promise?”

“It sure is, doll. Hope you’ll be ready for me tomorrow.” He winks at you.

You look into piercing blue eyes, “honey, I’m ready for you now.”

He reaches down, adjusting himself again, “baby, the things you make me feel shouldn’t be legal.”

You raise an eyebrow quizzically, “and what do I make you feel?” You hear a voice overhead on his end, and he winces.

“That’s a story for another day.”

“Does that mean you have to go?”

He frowns, “Yeah, sorry, babe. I’ll text you once we’re back so you won’t be too worried about me,” he smirks.

You sigh, “okay, honey. Just stay safe, okay? I love you.”

“I promise I’ll be safe. I love you, doll!” Steve grins as he hangs up.

You set your phone down as you take out your laptop and start to do homework. You do everything except your paper, procrastinating since it’ll be your hardest assignment to get done. You fall asleep reading for psychology and end up dreaming about Steve. You wake up about an hour later, cursing yourself. The only thing you remember from your dream is being in Steve’s arms. Laying in your bed now, you could still almost feel his arms around you. You sigh, smiling as you open your book back up and get cracking on your paper. You struggle with writing it, making a note in your calendar to meet with your professor to get an opinion on the rough draft.

You write all 1,500 words in about three and a half hours, cracking your neck as you quickly undress and get in the shower before work. It was about 3:15, so you had about 25 minutes or so to get ready. You dry off and put on a white shirt and black jeans, blow drying your hair before you curl and hairspray it. You put on pink lipstick and mascara, adding a little bit of eyeliner. You smirk to yourself, wishing Steve could see you like this. You don’t send him a picture because you know he needs to focus on his mission, so you take a picture, reminding yourself to send it tomorrow.

You take a chance, slipping on your snow boots just in case. You put on Steve’s coat, sniffing it a little. Why did I just do that? You wondered. It did smell really nice though. You quickly grab your purse and phone, leaving your apartment and locking the door behind you before getting on the elevator. You get to the lobby and see it snowing hard. Thank God I wore my boots.

You start making the trek over to work, glad it’s only a few blocks. You arrive early and see that fucking Linda is the manager today. You unwillingly make pleasantries, giving off a fake smile as she shows you pictures of her STUPID grandson. You order a coffee, knowing you’ll need it in order to get through the next 5 hours with Linda. She takes her time making her coffee and you ask God for the will to not kill this woman. You can’t hang out with Steve if you’re in prison, you chastise yourself. That thought alone is enough for you to smile at Linda, taking your coffee from her as you head to the break room.

You debate with yourself for about 10 minutes on whether or not you should text Steve just to wish him luck, deciding against it. You lock your phone and purse in your locker before you put on your apron, walking out of the break room and going behind the counter. Work drags on, with even more assholes than usual. Your favorite part was when a mom asked for a mocha with no coffee for her little one. SO YOU BASICALLY WANT A HOT CHOCOLATE!?! There were a lot of days you wanted to quit, but you also desperately needed the money in order to eventually pay off your student loans. When it got slow, Linda would corner you about her grandson starting to ‘talk.’ Excuse me, lady, it doesn’t count as talking if it’s just noises. Get back to me when the kid tells you to shut up. Then I’ll be interested. You zone back into the conversation as you hear Steve’s name.

“... and Sarah told me about that Steve, I absolutely cannot believe you’re sleeping with Captain America!”

You shake your head, unsure you heard her properly. “Excuse me?”

She looks at you, confused. “I thought the two of you weren’t in a relationship, I thought it was just sex.”

“And what the hell would make you assume that? The fact that I haven’t known him for that long? So what? I don’t just sleep with guys for fun. I’m in an actual relationship with him.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize.” Linda stammered

“Thank you for your apology.” You smile sarcastically at her, taking the order of the customer that has just walked up as Linda walks away.

The customer looks at you as she pays, “Soooo I saw that whole exchange. I don’t know how you deal with her. You were so calm. If she had said something like that to me, I probably would’ve said some things that got me fired.”

You shrug as you start to make her coffee, “I’m not worried about it, although he wouldn’t put up with it. He would have gone off on her. It’s fine, though.” You finish her coffee, adding extra whipped cream and chocolate syrup on top of her Frappucino.

“Aw, thanks so much!” She smiles and waves as she goes out into the cold.

You don’t go on your break until an hour before you’re supposed to leave, because your asshole coworker took a nap and his ‘alarm didn’t go off.’ You go in the break room and unlock your locker, removing your phone to see a message from Steve.

Steve <3: “Hey, baby. We just finished the mission, everything went great. We’re gonna stay here for the night because everyone’s too tired to do anything. I’ll be back tomorrow, can’t wait to see you.”

You smile, incredulous that one text from this man could brighten your whole day.

You: “Hey, honey. I’m on my break now, but work has been a mess today. Thank you for texting me, it made everything better.”

Steve <3: “I’m glad I could do that for you. Why has work been a mess? :(“

You: “It’s just something Linda said, I’ll tell you when you’re here tomorrow. I can’t wait until you’re back.”

Steve <3: “trust me, doll, I can’t wait, either. I miss you so much.”

You: “I miss you too <3 my break is over, mind if I call you when I get off?”

Steve <3: “nothing would make me happier. Good luck with the rest of your shift. I love you, (Y/N).”

You: “I love you too, Steve.”

You lock your phone back up, going back behind the counter. Thank God I only have 45 minutes left in this hellhole. You only have two customers the during the remainder of your shift, trying not to fall asleep when it’s slow. Why is a coffee shop open till 9 on a Saturday, anyway? Who even gets coffee this late? Pretty sure most people are partying or home Netflix and chilling. 

The clock on the wall says 9:00, and you groan as you run to the break room and hang up your apron. You get your purse and phone out of your locker, walking back toward the front door and calling Steve as you get outside.

Steve picks up, “hey, doll, did you just get off work?”

“Yeah, it was a long shift.” You yawn as you start to walk down the street toward your apartment, “and I wish you were here, I don’t like walking home alone at night.”

He sighs, “I know. I’m sorry, babe, but I’ll be back sooner than you know.”

“It’s okay, I got back safely.” You turn into the walkway of your apartment complex, seeing Steve standing in front of the door holding a bouquet of roses.

“Hey, beautiful.”

Spiritale Chapter 34

1,525 words

                                       Chapter 34: Good Friends

Later on the second right floor…

“Hello there, my name is Lionel Roarmen”, the lion introduced, “What’s your name?”

“I’m Chara”

“Chara, I’ll remember it”, Lionel said cheerfully, “Will you remember mine?”  

“Yea~!”

“Aww thank you, “Loinel said blushing.

Chara gave them a wave goodbye and walked off with a smile on their face, you never thought Lionel and Heats would have their personalities swapped. Pretty cool. Oh wow you know this part!

“Papyrus!”, Chara shouted with joy.

“Heeey there kid, how goes?”, Papyrus said waving from their station.

“Sssooo much was going on dude”, Chara said laying on the station counter while standing, “Too many actually”

“Well then, want a dog to take your mind off it?”, Papyrus asked pulling a hot dog out from under his station.

“I would love that”, Chara said taking the hot dog, “*Eats*…Mmmm, this is good. Really good”, they said eating.

“It’s a vegan dog”

“Vegan?”

“Yea, 100% non-meat”

“*Gulps* it taste like a real hot dog though”

“That’s what the others are saying”, Papyrus said looking at the monsters behind Chara.

No kidding, Pyrope and that monster who was tricked by your muffet are enjoying their vegan dog without saying a word.

“Now tell me, what’s eating you kid?”, Papyrus asked resting his arms on the table.

“Hahah”, Chara giggled before taking another bite of the vegan dog.

Chara tells Papyrus all that happened….you don't know how long it took, guess you lost track of time during that.

“Dang, he had you doing that?”, Papyrus asked resting his skull on his left hand.

“Mmm hmm”, Chara said nodding, “*Gulps* I sure hope Undyne and I can stop that chip that’s in him”

“What chip?”

“A chip that makes him kill any human on sight”, Chara whispered.

“Hmmm…”, Papyrus said with a thinking face, “Okay, hey want another dog to go?”

“Oh, I’ll take four”, Chara said taking out their phone.

Papyrus took out four vegan dogs and stacked two above the bottom two, Chara stares at it for a little before asking for two more. Papyrus questions it while giving them two more dogs in their hands, Chara takes the two and stacks it on top of the other two dogs. Papyrus quickly knew what was going on and began stacking vegan dogs with them. Oh man it’s sort of like you and Sans’s moment, this also reminds you of a stacking game. It’s just like this one, but they’re stacking sets of two instead of three. Wooow…it’s above the station roof, Papyrus is using their blue magic on Chara so they could continue stacking.

“That’s enough stacking kid, gotta draw the line somewhere”, Papyrus said putting Chara down.

“Wooow, I didn’t think it’d make it that far”, Chara said looking up.

“Amazing”, Pyrope said looking up behind Chara.

“What a delicious stack”, The other monster said, “Can I have one of them?”

“Can I too?”, Pyrope asked looking at Chara.

“Uuuuh, I’m…”

“Pleeeease?”, they both asked.

Chara couldn’t say no to their faces, Papyrus didn’t say anything. Chara gently placed their hand on two dogs on different parts of the stack, they geeentttlllly…pulled them oooouut…and they didn’t fall. You and Chara are shocked.

“Amazing! Amazing!”, Pyrope said jumping happy, “Thank you ahhmmm”, they thanked taking the vegan dog with their mouth.

“Thank you little creature”, the other thanked taking the dog.

Waaaait a minute, you took a look at the stack tower. Aha! Papyrus is holding it up with their magic, you had a feeling.

“Well that was fun”, Papyrus said taking the stacks down using their magic again, “The next time you wanna play stack up, I’m your guy”, he said pointing to himself.

“I can’t wait”, Chara said putting their vegan dogs in their phone storage, “Bye everyone”, they said waving and walking.

The three monsters waved as Chara walked off, you guide them to the stained apron that they put on. Now they’re at…that puzzle with a switching arrow buttons, you do NOT like this puzzle. And you are NOT going to complain too much about it, you just gonna help Chara through it.

17 minutes, wait….38 minutes la- aw come on…………56 minutes later, FINALLY!

“UUUUGH that puzzle took foreverrrr”, Chara said walking to the next area then sitting down.

You just nod. Good thing there’s a save point here.

“*Squeak*”, you both heard.

You looked down and saw a mouse beside Chara, it’s squeaking and tapping Chara’s hand.

“Hello little mouse, do you need something?”, Chara said politely.

The mouse scurried over to the microwave and pointed to it. Chara gets up and tries to open it, but it won't budge. You both look inside then saw three things of cheese and…wow, even if you manage to open it there are three lazers blocking the entrance. Chara called Undyne for help, she gave them the double code, got the cheese, and gave it too the mouse. They are so happy, awww.

*Seeing the mouse give Chara a happy thumbs up, feels them with DETERMINATION!*

Chara text Undyne back while walking happily to the next area-

“Heeey you, wait!”, You both heard a female monster say.

Turning around you both saw two monsters in armor…wait a minute, those purple cat ears and those curly locks. CATTY AND BRATTY!!!

“We like, got a random tip saying there was a human wearing stripes”, Catty said, “It totally told us they were around Hotland right now. Scary huh?”

“No need to worry…”, Bratty said kneeling down to Chara, “We’ll take you somewhere safe…”, she said lending her hand out.

Good thing Bratty was wearing fingerless gloves, Chara took her hand a little confused about the situation.

“By the way, that is a cuute shirt you’re wearing~”, Catty complemented while walking.

“….Waaait…”, Bratty said stopping, “…Catty, look at their shirt again”, she said looking at Chara.

“Hmm? What about….Ooooh I see”, Catty said just realizing, “Total bummer, we gotta like fight you and stuff. Sorry”

Aw no. Instead of swords, they have whips! That’s seriously going to hurt.

“Like, Team Blitz~!” Catty said.

“…Team Blitz”, Bratty said nodding.

*Catty and Bratty attack at the same time*

*Chara dodges, but takes 8 damage*

Come on Frisk, think! What do these girls like? Each other…is that swapped up here? You look at them for a moment….you got nothing. But you do know this, Bratty’s got to take off her armor. You see her having a tougher time moving around in it than Catty. You quickly told Chara to get Bratty to take off her armor. Chara tries, but they were attacked by Catty. She accidentally knocks Chara into Bratty, her top armor falls off!

“OMG BRATTY!!!”, Catty shouted running up to Bratty and Chara, “I am sooooooo totally sorry girl!”, she apologizes sounding sad.

“…It’s okay…I’m fine”, Bratty said rubbing her head then standing up.

“*Gasp* Bratty, that shirt”, Catty said, “It’s so…..CUUUUUTE~!”, she shouted placing her hand on her face in awe.

“…Really? You think so?”, Bratty said looking at it.

“Yea~!”, Catty said happily.

Bratty blushes through her armor helmet and twirls her golden locks. *Gasp* You have an idea! You whisper it to Chara.

“Excuse me”, Chara said sitting up on the ground, “Do you two like fashion that much?”

“Yea we do~!”, Catty said happily while Bratty nodded, “I just wish we could- uuuh n-nevermind”

“…Catty?”, Bratty said looking at Catty.

“I-it’s nothing, toootally never heheh”

“You don't have to hide it if you don't want to Ms. Catty, you can tell us”, Chara said with a polite smile.

“Mmmmm…..okay I confess! Bratty I don’t want to fight anymore!”, Catty shouted.

“Catty…why?”, Bratty said.

“We’ve been fighting and doing this job for sooooo long, I’m just tired”, Catty said sounding sad, “I just wanna hang out with you girl! I wanna shop together, eat together, and do girl talk together!”

“Catty…”

“I’m like so sorry girlfriend”, Catty apologized, “You’re like my best bestie, I didn’t wanna let you down!”

“I…feel the same way”

“You do?!”

“Yes…I was working hard to save up the money for us to…hangout”, Bratty said.

“Omg!”, Catty said covering her mouth, “Then what are we standing here for? Let’s go have some girl time!”

“I would love that…”, Bratty said placing her hand together gently.

“Hey human, please don’t tell Alphys”, Catty begged Chara, “She’ll be like, wicked mad at us”

“Please…”, Bratty begged.

“I think she’ll be okay with it”, Chara said standing and dusting themselves, “Go have fun”

“EEEEEE~!”, Catty said cheerfully, “LIKE GUUURL TIIIME~!”, she shouted jumping while holding Bratty’s hands.

“Yea…Girl Time~”, Bratty said calmly and happily.

They both walked off talking about clothes all giggly, awwww. Their friendship is soooo awesome.

“Hey you think you and Papyrus would hang out like that”, You asked Chara.

“I don’t, he seem waaaay too calm to do anything THAT energetic”, Chara said scratching their head.

“He deals with Sans”

“….You know what you’re right, we might go shopping together”

“Mmmm hm”
