#i worked in the senate

[phoenixyfriend]

something something one of those those "Jango falls for Courtesan/Stripper/NightclubSinger/TrophyWife!Obi-Wan" AUs...

But instead Obi-Wan actually being a sex worker, he's undercover and still a Jedi, and either:

They split ways and run into each other a few months later with Obi-Wan in full Prude Beige Knight mode OR

The situation goes pear-shaped while they're still flirting and Obi-Wan has to break cover to grab a senator and jump out a window and suddenly this half-dressed glittery Person is batting away shots with a lightsaber and there's a bratty twelve-year-old who ALSO has a lightsaber threatening people with I Will Eat Your Liver if they keep staring at his dad's ass just because the sequined sheathe dress tore in a sexy place

#jangobi #jango fett #obi wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #star wars #phoenix talks #undercover au #undercover as sex worker #to be clear: I do enjoy sex worker AUs both as a form of entertainment and in their surprising weight in normalization of sex work #they've done an unprecedented amount of work humanizing the profession #for sheltered young people who might have otherwise needed a lot longer to get over their prejudices #and while in my case I started on that path of Recognizing People As People through reading firsthand accounts by sex workers online #the impact that sex worker AUs have had on that whole situation is not to be dismissed #but also they're just fun to read? they're entertaining in the way any profession-based AU can be #I'm just as eager to read a sex work AU as I am to read a senator AU or racer au or college professor au etc #...anyway I just realized that the original post could theoretically be read as 'sex worker AUs bad' and I don't want anyone to think that

[obiwanobi]

not to add another AU to the list, but... AU where Obi-Wan is a fed-up senator who gets Anakin, Palpatine's adopted son, but more importantly secret Sith apprentice, as his assistant against his will, because Palpatine is trying to teach him about politics, patience and deception.

featuring lots of office shenanigans, Vaderkin dealing with work emails, Obi-Wan wondering why the Chancellor's son looks like he wants to murder him every time he asks him to do the bare minimum and if nepotism will ever end, and Palpatine being surprised that Obi-Wan's corpse hasn't been thrown through a window yet.

#vaderkin having to deal with work emails when he only has murder on his mind is hilarious to me #almost as much as palpatine making him do it #in a surprising twist they would end up getting along #of course #also why do I always picture obi-wan as tired and grumpy in a senator AU #obikin #clem's aus

They're never gonna make a megop dynamic that's as good as IDW ever again and the sooner I accept that the sooner I'll be able to curb my disappointment when every continuity from now until the end of time makes Megatron and Optimus' story "Megatron is the gladiator/writer who actually has protagonist energy because he has goals and is starting a conflict against the government (antagonist), and Orion is just his bestie/simp friend tagging along bc he had no ambitions until Megatron showed him the light" like oh my god give OP initiative for once in his life I'm begging

#actually this has been thd standard dynamic since tfp at least i think #squiggposting #in fairness idw megop also has this dynamic but like. i counter that with the fact that #M and OP spent their developmental years apart doing their OWN ACTIONS to fight the government #M was writing and trying to survive life as a miner and then a gladiator #OP was the commander of his own mini squad fighting in secret and in open battle against sentinel's forces #the point is that even tho IDW OP is also a Megs simp who was inspired by him to take action #OP was his own person before M and continued to grow his own ideals after M #he didnt hang on M's coattails to just 'sUpPoRT hIs fRiEnD' he was actually leading his own life #and idw op was super fucking cool he fought senate soldiers he worked with a rebellious senator #he stopped a bomb threat he saved sparks he led a squad of outliers he fought he lost friends #he was his own fucking person who is actually cool and interesting and driven and DOES THINGS

When my little silly cody sketch idea becomes me putting 6 albatrosses (the number 6 represents love and family, albatrosses symbolise guilt), and have one of them falling from the sky like the jedi and clones fell, and then plan to have the sun behind him as he is consumed by his guilt

Ah, has Padme noticed that Obi-Wan is assigned to Senate duty and that's why she's making assumptions about why Anakin is worried?

this chapter and the last chapter take place within like...an hour or so of each other -- so no one knows yet about obi-wan's new assignment cause he's been given it only a little bit ago!

i think padmé really is trying in this chapter, trying to speak anakin's language and understand him - and i think she really does, as much as she can. she's relating her experiences of being worried about anakin to anakin's experiences being worried about obi-wan (which baby, honey. are you really not going to notice that you're talking to anakin as if he's obi-wan's wife).

in my opinion, she's not really making assumptions about why anakin is worried here. anakin flat out tells her that he was worrried that obi-wan was injured, that that's why he stayed.

she's really just trying to get him to realize that he shouldn't go running off to be by obi-wan's side every time he gets an intrusive thought that obi-wan could be hurt when logically there's a very slim chance that he has been been and a very big chance that he could get help IF he ever was. because the war is over. obi-wan has amazing access to the best healthcare on coruscant. he would be FINE if he felt a sudden twinge in his chest or whatever.

it's just that anakin doesn't want to hear that. anakin doesn't want to live in a world where he can't drop everything to get to obi-wan's side. anakin doesn't want space between him and his master. he doesn't get why he should. if that's because of the war, like he sorta implies in the chapter, or if it's always been like that for him--for them, i don't think matters as much right now as the fact that anakin and anakin's wife are on solidly opposite ends of this debate

and it's really only going to get more rocky from here as we move away from the end of the war and both of them have different expectations of what comes next

#asks #couples counseling au #obikin #it's not been mentioned yet because obi-wan and padme haven't started working in the senate together yet #but i think one of the aspects of the fic im looking forward to the most #is moments where obi-wan and padme talk and obi-wan gets an outsiders pov into anakin and padmes relationship #but it also sort of feels still like padme is the outsider #aka she tells him in a cold and cutting argument they have #that anakin woke up from nightmares screaming obi-wan's name for three weeks post the end of the war #like im just excited to get obi-wan's pov of anidala where its very obvious to the readers that anakin is not as obsessed with his wife #as he is with his master #and yet obi-wan doesn't quite notice #and padme won't quite admit it #and anakin isn't actually involved in teh conversation at all #but so anyway i think when she's speaking in this chapter she's speaking from her own experiences watching and trying to comfort anakin #post end of war #and her own experiences missing anakin during the war #it's just anakin doesn't have room in his dialogue/his head to really give that the weight it deserves #because he's obi-wan all the time

gonna snap one day and run through the halls of media critique screaming A PLOTHOLE IS NOT WHEN THERE IS AN EASILY EXTRAPOLATED AND OBVIOUS ANSWER TO A QUESTION THAT THE WRITERS DID NOT THINK EVEN NEEDED TO BE EXPLAINED OUT LOUD BECAUSE THEY EXPECTED YOU TO USE YOUR BRAIN JUST A L I T T L E

#i swear to god this is going to make me lose my mind #“um they didn’t show us how this character who has access to multiple forms of transportation travelled a short distance to get to a place” #motherfucker unless there’s a reason they shouldn’t be able to travel that’s not a plothole #you’re being a nitpicky cinemasins trained dumbass who actively seeks to make stories worse??? STOP IT #don’t even get me started on how another lane here is people who just don’t pay attention to media #and then go “well how could i be expected to remember things in a story they should simply reexplain everything to me every single episode” #fuck ooooooooffffff #today’s annoyance brought to you by “why isn’t taissa at her job being a state senator” (because she hasn’t been sworn in yet ftlog) #and “how could people arrive at the same destination at roughly the same time after leaving at different times???” #when the answer is TWO OF THEM DROVE FROM OHIO TO UPSTATE NY AND THE OTHER FROM JERSEY #ONE DRIVE TOOK LONGER!

Sometimes, I really want an animated show about the OT characters. Their adventures, serious and silly, as they become friends and family long before Luke and Leia discover that they're siblings. Stories about Leia struggling with going from princess to general. Luke struggling with being a Jedi and a commander. The Rogue Squadron and their adventures. Han and Chewie barely keeping up with the Space Twin shenanigans.

But, then I remember how each of these characters were treated in the Sequel Trilogy, and I realise that it doesn't matter. No amount of stories about them will change the fact that they all die alone away from each other, that they gave up their childhood, their homes, themselves to the safety of the galaxy and that none of it ever mattered. And I can't enjoy canon stories about them because it won't change their ending, and I can't forget that.

#sequel trilogy #this is not really anti sequel trilogy because i dont hate it but i really dislike how the OT characters were portrayed #luke skywalker #leia organa #han solo #chewbacca #lando calrissian #they ALL deseved better #i have to live in a worls where Luke abandoned his sister and i just refuse to believe he would do that #the fact that they made Leia wait for Luke has sooo angry because she deserved better than to be abandoned by her brother and best friend #and do NOT get me started on the divorce!!! #pro jedi #we deserved to see Luke thriving as a Jedi because you know he would #we deserved to see Leia kick the Senate into a good working New Republic #Han should've been a house-husband and i stick by that #Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy deserved to outlive him #also i know the comics exist but they're barely considered canon unless the writer for a new live action SW project #wants to steal the comic writer's stories without compensation

They say there are two wolves within each person.

This has been the dialogue between the two of them as of late:

WOLF ONE: There’s a Senator Shockwave figure! People in the fandom are getting excited about him again! There will be more fanart and Sen. Shockwave discussion! This is great!

WOLF TWO: *growling* This is horrible! Now everyone’s talking about him. He’s no longer my special obscure character…

Note: I may be a bit possessive, but I’m not fanatical. xD I’m just sad that he’s been thrust into the spotlight before I was ready.

#what I actually wanted was to make him known myself #but Hasbro swooped in and ruined my perfect plan 🥲 #where’s a table flipping emoji when I need one? #wait. this’ll work: #(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ #I enjoyed carrying the Sen Shockwave tag okay? #that’s all :3 #soundwave keep an eye on this #senator (affectionate)

I’ve been waiting for ages for a figure with elbow wings so I could digibash it into Dinobot’s Cybertronian mode from the IDW comics, but it took all of my self control not to give him the iconic raptor stripes. I suppose it would look a bit odd on a futuristic space jet, but still... *sigh*

(Original design by Josh Burcham)

Lovelace never shared this part of her backstory with the crew ‘onscreen’ so it’d be fun if when she goes “I’m going to dismantle Goddard Futuristics” everyone else asks “with another improvised bomb? with your cool alien powers?” and she goes “no, with my dad, who’s a federal judge”

#perpetual ladies night 2k22 #wolf 359 #he's referred to as a district judge for NYC so PROBABLY #federal district judge for the Eastern district of NY since that includes Brooklyn #from what I've read they're often recommended by a senator before nomination #I like to think that's the same senator who wrote her West Point letter #I'm sure Goddard owns a whole bunch of judges and senators #but they're in disarray and she may know something about working the system #perpetual perpetual ladies night
