look I love playing around with my silly little ventrobi aus but overall it's really frustrating to me that extended universe stories keep trying to give Obi-wan Kenobi love interests. besides the problems with these characters themselves (they're nearly all white women who are then inevitably added to the heap of dead star wars women), it also just... fundamentally misses the point of Obi-wan as a character.
he's very good at following the restrictive rules laid forth by the Jedi order, to the point of other characters remarking on it, and this contrasts him with passionate, traumatized Anakin. Obi-wan is emotionally closed off, and he simply cannot comprehend Anakin's choice to pursue a relationship with Padmé to the point that Anakin develops a mentor relationship with fucking Palpatine so he has someone to talk to about his feelings - even though he describes Obi-wan as "like a father to him". it's this lack of experience dealing with strong emotions and poor understanding of love that make him a terrible choice to train Anakin, that's part of the tragedy of the prequels!
and yet over and over we see writers try to add a romance arc for him bc it makes him more relatable, more "human". Siri in some older novels, ventress in the obsession series, satine in the clone wars series... I've also seen fans insist that Obi-wan is too attractive to have never had love interests. it's hurtful to me as an asexual person, honestly, to imply that characters with no sex or romance arcs are uninteresting. whether you headcanon him as ace/aro or just the order's goodest good boy, it's sad that in a galaxy of magic, aliens, and space battles, a man with no interest in sex or romance is too much for some people to imagine.

The amount of people (men?) so convinced -and like strangely obsessed the idea of- Mikasa dying "a virgin" is such a huge ick not to mention just plain dumb. Like.. I shouldn't entertain such nonsense but like ...the ending is right there for you to look at... She's literally with a man (I know it's Jean but even if it isn't) and a baby... in her old age you see her with the same man... she's buried with a ring on her finger... like what???¿¿?

It seems hard to me when I look at her sometimes, and think how many without one tithe of her genius or greatness of spirit have granted them abundant health and opportunity to labour through the little they can do or will do, while perhaps her soul is never to bloom nor her bright hair to fade, but after hardly escaping from degradation and corruption, all she might have been must sink out again unprofitably in that dark house where she was born. How truly she may say, 'No man may care for my soul.' I do not mean to make myself an exception, for how long I have known her, and not thought of this till so late—perhaps too late. But it is no use writing more about this subject; and I fear, too, my writing at all about it must prevent your easily believing it to be, as it is, by far the nearest thing to my own heart.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti writing of Lizzie Siddal's health in a letter dated 23 July, 1854
