The more time I spend as a working adult the more I understand how the Jedi Council could look at the tangled web of ethically-iffy and inappropriate attachments that was whatever the fuck they thought was going on with Anakin and Padme, Anakin and Obi-Wan, Obi-Wan and Padme, Anakin and Obi-Wan and Padme - and just go “You know…we’ve got a lot on the agenda at the moment being at war and all. Do you think this might just…sort itself out?”

#i like to assume they thought obi-wan could handle the other two #and then realised too late that he was entwined in their bullshit too

[fromcold]

I'm sorry, but to me the peak of on screen male-to-male intimacy was accomplished by Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor in The Phantom Menace.

The way Obi-Wan RUSHES to Qui-Gon's side the EXACT SECOND he is sure Darth Maul ain't coming out of that melting pit. The way he FOLDS himself around his dying mentor.

The beard touch.

It's not captioned in this gif, but while this is happening, Qui-Gon whispers to him "No. It's too late." Trying to keep down any fear of hurting him Obi-Wan has, trying to squash any feelings of resentment or anger that the young man would be pointing inward just then for not being fast enough, not being good enough. Because that would lead him to the darkness.

I am already gone, please let me see your face free of anguish for my last moments.

The way Obi-Wan's hand moves over Qui-Gon's chest, feeling for his heartbeat, maybe trying to coax the living force into keeping Qui-Gon alive JUST LONG ENOUGH so that he can drag him into the palace and to a bacta tank.

And then when the perspective shifts to show us Qui-Gon?

The little caress on Obi-Wan's cheek? Pretty much the only evidence we have up until the cut away that this poor kid just watched his father figure/mentor/brother-in-arms/constant companion/comrade/teacher get stabbed and is either very close to or already starting to bawl his eyes out? The way his voice is just so soft (probably because he was stabbed through the diaphragm) as he imparts his dying wish? Him basically begging Obi-Wan to remember what he told him in the swamps, that he will be a great Jedi and is wiser than Qui-Gon himself? That he should believe in himself?!

The last breath? The closing of the eyes? Obi-Wan only being able to nod because if he says anything he WILL LOOSE IT. Him resting the bridge of his nose on Qui-Gon's as his best friend becomes one with the Force?

The way Obi-Wan cradles his head?

And then that last pan away, when we see what is left of his resolve from the moment just shatter and his shoulders shake and he crumples against the body in his arms?

Yea... No...

These two? Nothing is ever going to beat this moment for me. It's so sad but just so well acted.

We did not deserve this performance in 1999.

We do not deserve this performance NOW.

This is doing the rounds again and I think it's worth pointing out that Obi-Wan's line about privilege as a master implies that Qui-Gon also did this with him when he was a padawan and yeah, checks out.

The context for this is Obi-Wan and Anakin are on their 10th drink in their 10th bar looking for information, and Obi-Wan admits to using pretty twink Padawan Anakin as bait in AotC

I am losing my mind!!!

I've asked this question before and been surprised by the results, now I have access to more weirdos it's your problem:

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

This bit in Dark Disciple, to me, perfectly encapsulates Dooku's whole deal. So much of what he says is correct! Even Quinlan Vos concedes that he has a point! It's no wonder so many people see him as the only one willing to stand up to all the corruption in the galaxy. It extends out of universe too - go on to any YouTube video or subreddit and you'll get people earnestly arguing that Dooku was Good Actually, that he was right about the Jedi etc.

... But then you remember, wait, who was it that played such a role in the creation of the clone army anyway?

Dooku is such a good liar even fandom believes him. And that's why he's such a great villain.
