#Obi Wan has a Harem

[fanfic-obsessed]

Fundemental Cultural Misunderstanding

Can I just say that there is so much humor potential in Star as far as cultural misunderstandings go. 

Try this AU on for size. 

-Note:Though it is not necessary for this idea, it is important to me for you to know that in this world Anakin did not slaughter the Tuskens. He reached Shimi in time to save her and his focus was getting her to safety. Thus his relationship with Padme is much healthier.-

Anakin on a fundamental, and somewhat deliberate, level misunderstands some parts of Jedi culture. He believes that Jedi cannot get married.  In this world, this is not true.  

Marriage in this Jedi culture includes a marriage bond between all parties that, if not set up correctly, can do a fair amount of damage (and even when set up correctly doesn’t provide more than a sense of the other person's physical condition and emotions; rarely bonded might be compatible enough that that they can track each other through the bond). This is particularly true if one of the parties is not Force sensitive, or one of the parties is particularly Force Sensitive. So there is a lot of pomp and ceremony around getting married in the Jedi tradition to make sure the bond is correctly set up. Also consent is such a large portion of Jedi culture, so extra pains are taken to make sure non force sensitives understand what such a bond might mean…to the point where it freaks out most non force sensitives.  This all culminates in, by the time of the prequels, most Jedi just don’t get married.

-It should also be noted that marriage as a legal institution and marriage as a cultural institution are actually two very different things, though they are often conflated. Marriage as a legal institution means absolutely nothing to Jedi, and in fact many cultures, because the rights granted by the legal institution of marriage either don’t apply to Jedi or are covered by other Jedi related laws.-

This is also misunderstood by the Galaxy at large.  Also, because of this misunderstanding most cultures do not discuss their marriage customs with Jedi, sure it might come up organically but no one thinks that this is a cultural norm that the Jedi need to know. Which means as much as the Galaxy misunderstands the Jedi’s marriage customs, the Jedi misunderstand most other cultures' marriage customs as well.  In fact the Jedi, through generations of a benign misunderstanding, believe that most cultures will not discuss their marriage customs with Jedi, so all they can go on is their own observations. 

Picture if you will, little padawans vibrating their way into the Archives, up to the nearest archivist, who drops everything because the little Padawan wants to report that they ATTENDED A WEDDING. 

This leads to the archives being chock full of conflicting information about the various marriage customs throughout the galaxy, because anything that happens at a wedding now becomes a TRADITION of that planet, even things might be just a preference of the people marrying, or even a happenstance. The Jedi have all collectively agreed that they are just gonna roll with it, no matter how strange the custom or if it contradicts anything else (It is not like they can get information directly from the source after all).

Now when Anakin got married to Padme, he thought that Jedi cannot marry.  He thinks that his elopement would have to be a secret. He does not realize that he broadcasted his joy at marrying Padme to every Force Sensitive in the galaxy (no seriously, there are Force Sensitives on planets that don’t even have space flight yet, on the other side of the galaxy that felt an abrupt and incomprehensible wave of utter joy-some of those were physiologically incapable of feeling joy like near humans and had to lay down for a while). Also, not that he realized it, the part of his Force Signature (which Jedi are taught in the creche how to read) that deals with identity flashed with the equivalent neon lighted dashboard in Times Square that he was ‘Mr. Padme Naberrie’ from that point forward. 

So when Anakin leaves on a mission, unmarried, and comes back very married, but clearly hiding it, it is quickly noticed. But no one thinks that it is Anakin who does not trust them. Of course not, he is family. They decide that this must be some heretofore unknown Naboo marriage TRADITION, elopement followed by hiding the marriage. 

No one, not a single jedi in 10,000, thought to ask Anakin directly. 

Several Archivists promptly write some very well written papers on this tradition, and how it fits into their other knowledge, basically filling in the gaps to create a tradition out of whole cloth (even though they are acting in earnest). 

The war still starts, with all that entrails. But every Jedi knows about Anakin’s ‘secret’ marriage. The little ones all giggle about it. Most are eagerly waiting for the tradition of hiding to be complete, because surely ‘The Man Without Fear’ and his wife would also want to marry in the Jedi tradition.  There was so little to be excited about these days that everyone bought into this notion, even those that had long decided they would not go through the process of the Jedi Marriage. 

The children in the creche insist on making decorations for the eventual Jedi Wedding.  In fact there were multiple sets of decorations, depending on where the happy couple wanted the ceremony performed. Just rooms and rooms of decorations and drawings and artwork of all kinds. 

The High Council, including Obi wan, started researching to make sure they knew all the steps and traditions for the Wedding backwards and forwards whenever they had the chance. The last time a Jedi Wedding had been performed was 200 years earlier and enough had happened since that even those who were alive during that time were a bit fuzzy on the details.  They wanted to be ready to support Anakin and Padme in any way possible.  Padme’s biometrics are quietly added to the Temple’s banks; ready to be activated as soon as the couple is ready. A plan is put together so that Padme can be quickly evacuated if there was an active threat against Anakin specifically, or Jedi adjacent beings in general. 

And the Archivists are practically having duels to see who would get to speak to the happy couple once the period of hiding is done. There is hope throughout the archives that maybe, if they ask really nicely, Padme would be willing to answer a few questions on Naboo marriage traditions (All the Archivists want to learn so badly, all they want to do is be able to learn. Can they please learn).

Perhaps if it had gone on much longer someone would have cottoned on to how stressed this secret was making Anakin. Maybe not.  Perhaps this world still could have ended in unimaginable tragedy. 

Perhaps in another world like this. In this world, we look to humor instead of horror. 

A little over a year into the war several of the youngling clans, ages ranging from about 4-6, got to go on a tour of the Senate.  One of the younglings (Age 4, species was Sabetue and was genderless) got separated and couldn’t find a clone guard or anyone they recognized. They were wandering and scared, but somehow made it up to the level where Padme’s office is. And the Youngling recognized Padme’s Force signature as Master Skywalker’s wife, so they knew they would be safe with her.  

So now Padme has a small Jedi child in her office. Thankfully she was not in a meeting. She manages to get a hold of the Guard, who send up two of creche masters, who had been beside themselves with worry.  While in her office the child said things that made it clear that the child knew about Padme’s marriage to Anakin and how they couldn’t wait to see how pretty she would be in the Jedi Wedding.  One of the Crechemasters very gently reminded the child that Anakin and Padme might decide not to get married in the Jedi Tradition, that it had to be their choice and followed up with:

“And if we forced them…”

The child piped back with a solemn “we would be meanies”

One of the creche masters brought the child back down to the group while the other remained behind. First to thank Padme for finding their lost child. Then also to apologize for the child breaking the Hiding Tradition, expressing a hope that this would not have any negative impact on Padme’s marriage. 

The Crechmaster seemed so proud at saying ‘Hiding Tradition’ that Padme did not have the heart to tell them that she had no idea what they were talking about (they are very proud of remembering what the Archivists were calling this tradition).  They continue to have a brief conversation where Padme learned a number of things:

The Jedi, every single one of them, knew about Padme’s marriage.

They are all, every single one of them, actively supportive instead of the at best disapproving she thought they would be.

The Jedi somehow believe that Padme and Anakin are hiding their marriage over a Naboo Tradition

There are rooms full of crafts created specifically to decorate for her wedding in the Jedi Tradition created by hordes of earnest younglings. 

The Jedi are very into consent. 

Anakin is not due back on Coruscant for another week, and during that week Padme made discrete inquiries (oddly enough these are actually discrete) that told her nothing important about what was going on and driving her to distraction. So Anakin comes back to Padme nearly screaming at him ‘Why do the Jedi think we are hiding our marriage over a Naboo tradition?’

Anakin very much does not know but suggests that they ask the Chancellor (Anakin has very much been conditioned by the Chancellor to turn to him first in any instance of confusion).

Padme stares at him for a moment, tells him that is a stupid idea and to call Obi Wan.

Anakin does not want to call Obi Wan. He does not want to tell Obi Wan about their marriage and get in trouble. 

Padme stares at him with the dead eyes of someone dealing with too much ridiculous information at once, then says ‘Call Kenobi’.

Anakin obeys. 

Obi Wan comes over, they all sit down and Padme very calmly tells Obi Wan that she and Anakin are married. Obi Wan immediately begins radiating blinding excitement.  He congratulates them and starts to ask about having a Jedi wedding before deflating again and asking if not pretending he was surprised would ruin anything. He offers to go out and they can do it again, he can pretend to be shocked. 

Padme reassures him. Anakin starts to express his surprised (in a way that would have made it really clear about why he was hiding his marriage) but Padme quickly interrupts him, asking about Jedi Wedding traditions and lets Obi Wan ramble really happily about the research that the High Council had been doing to make sure they can recreate those traditions if Padme and Anakin want.

Obi Wan leaves with a promise that Padme and Anakin would come to speak with the High Council to make sure all the legalities (making sure everything is set up so that Padme can come and go as she pleases at the temple, and have a login to access the Archives, and would it be possible for her to come in for a baseline check up so that medical their records are up to date) are taken care of. As soon he is gone Padme grabs Anakin by the collar and goes ‘we can never tell them’

Anakin goes ‘what?’ 

‘We can never tell the Jedi why we were hiding our marriage. I’ll contact my parents as soon as it is morning on Naboo. They can back us up. We can say it is an old family tradition to hide the marriage for the first year. It isn’t used much, but after being in the public eye and with the War I was feeling superstitious, ok?’

Anakin goes ‘What, Why?’

Padme shakes at the arm in her hand, ‘telling the other Jedi that you didn’t trust them with your marriage would break their hearts. Do you want to be the reason small children are crying?’

Anakin looked far too considering for Padme's piece of mind, and what little sanity she had left. 

‘Let me put it this way, do you want to be what finally break’s Obi wan’s heart? That man was vibrating with excitement to celebrate our wedding so hard I could feel in the Force.’

Anakin deflated, ‘Oh. No.’

Padme’s parents laugh their ass off that she needs to create a long held family tradition because she doesn’t want to admit to the Jedi that she had thought they would react badly to her marriage.  They agree to do it. 

<Somehow this does derail Palpatine’s plans. Personally I want it to be in a way that leaves people unaware that he is a Sith, so for the rest of his life he needs to maintain the kindly old grandpa look and suffer for it- maybe something that means he has to actually live a clean life; no more crime or torturing for him.>

Twenty four years later Obi Wan helps Leia Naberrie meet up with Han Solo in order to Elope in the long held family tradition (Bringing with them only R2 to follow the actual tradition closer than they realize). Obi Wan very carefully leaves before Han arrives, so that he can truthfully say he does not know that they eloped. 

Leia’s twin Luke does not need to elope, as he followed his Uncle Obi Wan into the Jedi (an unrelated note he also followed Obi Wan into the mindset of ‘Why Monogamy when Harems naturally occur’-From that day the war ends Obi Wan has no less than three clones with him at all times; he also appears to have a lover, a friend, or an antagonist that he has weirdly sexual dialogue with on every planet he visits. Or Hondo Ohnaka, who has a category all his own. The years that Boba Fett comes to the holiday meals as one of Luke’s plus 6’s-He couldn't choose just one and no one would think of making him- are among the most awkward of most of their lives.)

[thewriterowl]

I had a funny thought of ANH Obi-Wan telling Luke about the Mandalorians and their culture while reminiscing about the Clone Wars. Obi-Wan casually mentions how the quickest way to gain a Mandalorain's trust is to first prove you can hold your own in a fight and then prove your loyalty by protecting one of their own without question.

Obi-Wan is kinda of a dimwit because he failed to see that this was also grounds for Mandalorian mating process. Satine, Jango and Cody all fell for him. (Oblivious Stewjon ginger) and in doing so accidentally is the cause as to why Luke is now Manda'riddur, pregnant, and basically a whole army ready to die for him.

YES. LOL Ok, I love this

Like Obi-Wan being a Mandalorian slut but also not realizing that it wasn't his amazing flirting skills that landed him a mini-harem but being a great warrior with sass and kindness who has done a lot for children and for Mandalorians and their clans. For one SO smart, he too has the infamous Disaster Lineage braincell too.

So, he's just, "to make friends you just do X, Y, Z...we'll talk about flirting when you're older."

"I'm nineteen."

"Still too baby. Older."

And then Luke accidentally woos the future Mand'alor by just being stupid, powerful, and friendly and somehow makes an army of loyal Mandalorians who would not only die but kill for him.

Obi-Wan, in the Force, is just, "....oh, so THAT'S why I kept getting railed by Mandalorians."

With Anakin just shrieking, "NO SHIT"

You’re really going to post about anakin wearing a bejeweled garter on twitter but aren’t going to discuss it in further detail here? Like girl, pls don’t be evil 😭😭😭

sksksksksks sorry for the late answer and also !!!!! i didn't know anyone would want to talk about it.

anyway, anakin in this 😏😌🔥

i've been thinking that obi-wan and anakin are on a mission and have to dress up attending a gala or they're the honored guests of some celebration or something, i’ve also thought about working it into my pretty woman au somehow, and anyway, they get all dressed up and pretty, and it’s all very glamorous and fancy.

and obi-wan at first doesn’t even notice that anakin is wearing the garter. anakin wears something long and flowy, i think, or a sort of harem pants but with leg-long slits at the sides, and he looks absolutely mouth-watering and obi-wan has a hard time keeping his eyes off anakin because of it. he looks regal and radiant and the colour accents of his outfit compliment the colour of his hair and his skin, they make his eyes practically glow, and the way the fabric of the top part of his robes hug his shoulders and slutty little waist drive obi-wan to the brink of insanity. he’s turning heads left and right.

obi-wan wants to bite him.

at some point during the event they're standing next to each other talking to a group of some people and obi-wan notices one of them staring down at anakin’s legs while anakin is talking about something. and they have the sort of look on their face like their brain has ground to a stop and like their entire world is recalibrating, and at first, obi-wn gets offended and indignant because why is this being staring at anakin like this and not even listening to what he’s saying? but then he follows their eyes and catches sight of the garter around anakin’s thigh that’s revealed now because the slit in the pants fell open. and the pearls shine against anakin’s tan, the gold of the chain almost the same colour as his skin, and they tinkle and move softly with anakin’s movements. obi-wan’s mouth becomes drier than the surface of tatooine faster than should be possible. he only manages to tear his eyes away when he hears anakin say his name.

obi-wan can’t stop thinking about the garter now that he’s seen it, the thought of it, the memory of it resting against anakin’s toned thigh burns like a beacon in his mind, and whenever he looks at anakin, his eyes travel down to his legs, trying to catch another glimpse of the tantalizing thing.

they end up fucking while anakin wears nothing but the garter. obi-wan snaps the elastic against anakin’s thigh and anakin writhes with pleasure because obi-wan is fucking him particularly good that night, and the knowledge of getting obi-wan riled up by wearing a garter is doing things to anakin. knowing that he can get obi-wan riled up like this, that obi-wan finds anakin this irresistible, is really really hot to anakin.

anakin wakes up with bruises and teeth marks on his thighs around the garter, and the sting is delicious. obi-wan has a lot of fun with it.

#obikin #ask #anonymous #i am just. #yes. good yes. #anakin wearing stuff that drives obi-wan insane is so good #esp when anakin is entirely unaware until obi-wan devours him

stop reblogging these bc i'm legally obligated to fucking yap

obi-wan and maul we have an insane amount of verses for these two. 'redemption' and kss are my favourites (tho i have a soft spot for the two grumpy old men on tatooine together). they're fun and weird and they shouldn't work but they really do. maul has haunted obi-wan since that faithful day on tatooine. not bc of what he did to qui-gon, but bc of what obi-wan did to maul. it's something that obi-wan never forgives himself for. it's something maul never forgives him for even tho, technically, it did free him. and then obi-wan has kept maul going through the worst moments of his life. a burning passion whether it's good or bad (it's bad), a reason to continue on, a purpose - aka the only thing he's ever wanted. they both go against everything they know when they love each other but they do and it works and it's so fun to write and explore. you and your obi-wan have really helped me develop maul so much in the past,,,, idk 10 months?? 11??

drakka and maul i like their origins. i love them chasing each other around coruscant and drakka pushing maul outside of his comfort zone. it's almost like a little romeo and juliet thing. maul Knows she's a jedi, but she doesn't really know he's a sith. they should be enemies, but they're not. they're just playing catch.

quinlan and maul our first ship!! i like these two a lot. there's something so soft about them meeting on tatooine before everything happens. quinlan characteristically ignoring what he Should be doing as a jedi and maul being swayed into ignoring what he Should be doing. quinlan giving maul the gentleness he's craved, but refused to acknowledge. treating him like something that isn't just a tool to control and use.

kilindi and maul quite literally the first person to ever show maul a shred of decency. i like them a lot as just besties who had some romantic tension as they grew up together. i like the tragedy of what Could have been, but what never happens. maul has to repress the whole thing to even be able to move on from it.

Who do you ship with my muse?

Bonus: Include why you like the ship!

MAUL'S ORIGINAL HAREM 😂 love to see them all in the same ask, it's like they're in a car trip (someone —probably Obi-Wan— would get thrown out of the car if that was the case). They're all so dear to me and I love how each ship unfolds in a completely different way despite the fact they all involve Maul. They all love Maul so much in such different ways. From the decade old obsession to the what could have been.

Ok, so I did start writing and have a whole AU worked out where Padme and her handmaidens raise Anakin as Obi Wan realises he’s struggling too much in the temple. All this comes from the deep desire I have since having a hysterectomy to give Anakin lots of maternal love. I’ve got massively broody and want to cuddle all my friends’ babies. So, my AU is that Anakin is raised on Naboo by several women who dote on him and give him all the love he could possibly want. Anakin’s peers think he has it made as he basically lives in a kind of harem (which just means where family live, not a sex palace!) with women who look like Padme, but Anakin only has eyes for Obi Wan, his jedi master who visits him every few months to give him instruction and sets work for one of the handmaidens to teach him. 

But will Obi Wan ever see him as more than a kid? 

Might make it Omega verse just so Obi Wan can have titties, because why not? Also, Anakin doesn’t fall because he’s not lonely, fearful and starved of affection. 

#Anakin Skywalker #obikin #my new AU #where Anakin can be happy

[roseunspindle]

In which Anakin may be secretly married to a significant portion of the Galaxy

Basically, Padme realizes that diplomacy pretty much straight up can’t work in the current political climate. 

She hates to do it, but she has to talk to Anakin about Palpatine’s manipulations, however instead of fully denying it. Anakin listens. He admits he wants to deny it, but he’s grown suspicious more and more as many things (with as many kriffing emergency powers as the man has) that Palpatine “can’t do or control” and it simply doesn’t add up. He also says she’d never bring it up to him, without firm conviction. Padme feels happy in the trust her husband has for her, even though saddened by the reason it’s needed. 

They talk long into the night, and Padme thinks she’s stumbled on the answer thanks to Anakin. 

They both like to tease about their “antiquated ways” her Nubian flower language and clothing clothing/make-up language, his “everything is a secret in the quarter traditions, and water is sacred” but they both agree weddings are for bonding. 

On Naboo weddings are always large affairs, for the families to mingle and bonds to for between more than just the main participants. In the slave quarter weddings were a bond that could last far beyond the life of either party and often past the time either person could see the other, should one be sold away.

It sticks in her mind. Weddings and bonding, marriage...then it hits her. Marriage would be a good way to start strengthening bonds across the galaxy. Anakin nods along and Padme starts thinking about how to link people...

Riyo Chuchi and Bail Organa are the first people she approaches... it goes a bit sideways, to be honest as both seem to think she’s planning to marry them (and through Bail, Breha) she stumbles and somehow blurts out “I’m already married!” (Bail does point out later that he also is already married) Bail just laughs at her and Riyo takes five seconds to blurt out “Knight Skywalker!” 

Somehow negotiations are still weird and when she comes out, she and Anakin have a date to meet up with Riyo one evening and Bail and Breha via holo another to “further discuss matters”

Anakin makes a weird face when she tells him, but seems to understand a multi-partner marriage had not been her intended plan and seems to join Bail in thinking it’s funny. 

“We should ask the Clones.” he says later, (after Padme has at the very least betrothed them to a good portion of the (sane/decent) part of the senate “ask them to pick a couple brothers to marry us.” 

Padme lights up, it’s perfect, if they can marry, they have rights, and there is no rule stating the clones can’t marry... she begins grinning wider and wider ‘til Anakin starts laughing at her and she pounces on him in revenge. 

(Rex full on volunteers, apparently Anakin already drives him insane so he might as well marry the man.)

Anakin also makes contact with the underground on Tatooine, if they want to unite the galaxy, he wants all the galaxy... 

Beru Whitesun soon to be Lars happily puts him in contact with someone Anakin thought he’d never see again. Kitster... who is apparently willing to marry him and well, Anakin feels a knot that had never gone unknit slightly... he had forgotten his home, returned to pain for himself and the most awful act of his life...

Satine Kryze is open to the idea when Padme broaches the subject...

When the story finally breaks nearly two years later, Anakin is annoyed to find that most people assume it’s his “harem”. Obi-wan can’t believe Anakin was secretly married to more than one senator...

Anakin, with the war ended and the need for Jedi gone, feels free to turn over his lightsaber, (he’ll make a new one, later, one that is true to who he is) but it feels wrong to keep this one. It is a jedi tool, and Anakin understand more now (Breha especially makes a good therapist) that he is not a Jedi. He is a force user, but he can never truly be a Jedi. He leaves with a bow and heads to the hanger.

Time to go free Tatooine and other slave worlds, he has spouses there after all.

Fanfic Writer Ask Meme: J, L, Q, and T 😊

Hi Erin! Hope you're doing okay today! 💜

J: What's your favorite fanfic trope? Have you written it?

I think my favorite has to be friends-to-lovers. There's something so wonderful about the natural progression of being friends and suddenly realizing "fuck I'm in love with them!" I also personally believe that some of the strongest relationships are where you aren't just in love with your partner, but you also consider them your friend. This is just me personally 😊

L: Which of your fanfics was the most emotionally challenging to write?

Of the pieces I've published, definitely my Obi-Wan piece. It was right when Obi-Wan Kenobi was being released and my brain decided to be angsty 😅 And of my OC pieces, I recently sat down and wrote a section for Lior, that I can't say much on because spoilers but it takes place after the Liberation of Lothal, and I cried while writing it.

Q: Do you like getting prompts from your readers?

Yes. I do. Mostly because it forces me to actually sit down and write I love hearing the things my readers like and really appreciate any time they trust me to help it come to life.

T: Any fanfic tropes you can't stand?

Love triangles. I'm getting better about it, opening up to the concept more, but I also was a teenager during the height of the Twilight craze and that love triangle was so poorly executed that the trope makes me cringe sometimes. I'm trying to get better about it, because there are some excellent love triangle fics out there. My dislike does not apply to reverse-harem or poly relationships.

Hello! I haven’t read any of your works personally, but are there any specific things you like to write the most? Genres, scenarios, character types or tropes, what makes you the most excited to write a story? How do you do it? Do you write it all down the moment you have a great idea, or do you let it sit and develop for several days between writing sessions?

Genres:

Angst

Hurt / Comfort

Fluff

Adventure

Romance (only if it’s an OTP of mine I’m at least 20% confident I can write okay at.)

Scenarios:

Angst / Hurt of MC (Ex. Jim Kirk)

Action scenes (even if my skills in such aren’t the best)

Battle scenes

Pokemon Journey

Duels

Alternate Canon

Small, cute, but wholesome moments

Character types:

Angst

Sassy (Even though my attempts are few and far between)

Conflict (mainly from angst but also other things)

Adventurous

Tropes:

Angst thoughts / actions from conflict (I like to see characters go deeper in their emotions.)

De-aged (So far I have yet to actually write one…but man do I love this trope! Obi-wan, Jim Kirk, Tony Stark, I’m in!)

Hurt character gets comfort (hugs/kiss/protected it’s all there! Example tag I’ve read many of is < Obi-Wan gets a hug > )

Alternate Canon (It can be fix its, alternate actions of one particular scene, I just love the emotion and energy in it all! Giving a better ending in some cases. )

Tropes / other fanfic stuff I despise:

• Wanda, Steve Rogers, Natasha, and basically all of Team Cap (minus Sam / Bucky (overrated but still like) / Scott) being shown and appreciated as heroes despite being anything but since Winter Soldier & Age of Ultron.

{ I swear if I hear of more praise for Wanda and others, plus Wanda x Vision being OkAy?! I’m going to hurl. >•< }

• Ash being romantically involved with either Serena, Misty, Dawn, May, Cynthia, and more. Also harems….I HATE harems.

{ Only ones I ship with Ash romantically:

• Gary / Paul / Kiawe / Gladion / Lillie / Goh }

Obi-wan hated = Jedi Council bashing

{ I get he’s on the council, but does hating the Jedi Order / Council really fall to hating him specifically or at all? From what I’ve seen, he isn’t the one making many bad decisions! }

AOS Jim Kirk being written as some womanizer / bad guy

{ I get the movies portrayed him a little as such…but that’s just wrong! As someone who’s a fan of such movies, it just pains me how he’s written as so shallow. Makes me still wish for a tv series of this version of Star Trek. Chris Pine rocks as Jim Kirk, and the clear portrayal of a traumatic childhood/past could be explored so much more! I mean it’s clear this version went through Tarsus IV too. Maybe more than TOS Kirk. }

Harry Potter as stupid / paired with Hermione, Ginny, basically anyone not Draco Malfoy (or Luna, though with her it depends on my mood at the time) / Hermione overrated worship / Horocrux = Dursley abuse

{ Look, it may be cliche, but I like Harry Potter as a character. He’s a good main character with an overall good arc. I just hated him being with Ginny in the end. It didn’t help with ‘Cursed Child’, like he may not be a perfect parent, but he’s darn sure more than anything that ‘book’ portrayed! It’s even worst in the canon books, and even some fanfics, where Harry is portrayed as dumb. He could of been sorted into any house..Any. There’s more type of intelligence, and he shows he’s clearly got academic intelligence too, but considering just how he had to ‘not ask questions’ and ‘not get better grades than Dudley’ basically explains aside from teenager mood why his school work was as it was. Just cause he isn’t some book genius like Hermione, doesn’t mean he couldn’t of gotten into Ravenclaw.

Speaking of, why is she so glorified? Okay sure, she’s a good character and friend…but she isn’t some god! No, she didn’t carry the entire series, let alone do all the hard work, not be the reason Ron and Harry made it and so on, she has faults! She can’t solve everything! Lets face it, if those two hadn’t saved her from the troll back when they were eleven, she won’t be around most likely.

Now the Dursleys and horocruxs….oh boy. If there’s one thing I hate in canon the most in this series, it’s this. No, the Dursleys didn’t abuse Harry because of the horocrux. I don’t blame the people that believe this though, as it’s clear the ‘author’ wrote said abuse as mere nothing, glossed over and “explained” as something that’s Harry’s fault. Um no! Abuse isn’t something to be glossed over! The Dursleys were clearly horrible people before Harry even got sent to them! They despited him and his parents, and literally spoke of trying to beat the magic out of him! I don’t know if the Wizarding world has a CPS, but surely if it wasn’t for ‘protect in the blood wards despite being abuse/starved/could of been killed in said house every year with the plus of the wards being non-existent/unless by end of his fourth year’ Dumbledore there be something done no? That also makes another point of how the ‘author’ glossed over said abuse…he names one of his kids after Dumbledore and a bully of a teacher! If Snape were a muggle teacher, he’d be fired on day one. Let’s not get even started on glossing over Neville, Draco, and basically all of Slytherin house home-life/trauma. I’d go on, but then I’d just give myself a blistering headache for days.

Most excited to write a story:

What excites me to write a story can be a number of things. Usually it is through watching a particular character go through something, or some character saying something. Of course, comments on my fanfics help too, but reading others fanfic helps also! Being able to immerse myself in the world of fanfic, and see multiple views of a scene or a character it always so fascinating. Granted, I only look for fanfics of my specific likes, but the thought still stands! Questions, and answers to certain aspects of certain fandoms can sometimes inspire me to write something of the fandom in a new way you know? Yet despite all this, I still have tons of WIP fics that I have yet to update in like forever.

How do you write:

It’s a mix of the two scenarios actually. Like sometimes I get an idea and can write at least a chapter or two before the writing juice runs out. Other times the idea comes in pieces during a couple of days, though it’s mostly small scenes or inputs of characteristics. Either way, still got a ton of WIP because of both.

Thanks for asking!

Thoughts on some of the more popular M/M in star wars? And your favorite?(example: dinluke, Finpoe, rexwalker, codywan?)

In general I like them all (tbh, less so with dinluke but I'll expand on that below).

Since I follow a lot of clone-centric blogs, I don't see as many M/M Star Wars pairings come across my dash as I do with other pairings. I do like finpoe, and I like the Finn/Poe/Rey triad (an OT3 for me), but I didn't really like the sequels, so I don't follow many blogs that post sequel content. I love seeing it when it makes its way across my dash, though.

For dinluke, I was never really all that hot on it, tbh. Maybe it was the limited contact (which honestly doesn't really matter much when we make our own fanon), but I've always been a bit partial to Luke/Lando, or Luke/Han (or if we're feeling really spicy, Luke/Han/Leia -with Luke & Leia being involved with Han but not with each other, of course). Another nail for dinluke was Luke sending Grogu back to Din with R2. We all know that R2 was perfectly capable, of course, but Luke not going back just rubbed me wrong. It could be the premise of a dinluke fic though. Luke doesn't go because he can't bear to see Din, and fears he'll run away to be with him too. Or something like that. Anyway, I can't really ship anyone with Din who wouldn't personally ensure that Grogu made it back to him safely.

Regarding Din, I kind of ship him with everybody that was ready to ready to die for our little green baby or willing to fight side by side with him. So that includes nearly everyone he comes in contact with. Bobadin and dincobb are both pretty popular, bit honestly I like all of them (I even ship him a little bit with Cara Dune). I think I could happily put him at the center of his own harem.

As a clone-centric blog you'd think I would see rexwalker fairly often, but it rarely comes across my dash. I don't have any issue with it, and I think there could be some fun scenarios there, but I don't really see much Anakin shipping coming through either. I wonder if that has to do with how central to the prequels his love for Padme is? In any case, not one I particularly search out, but if the right bit of art or fic comes across my dash I'm smashing the reblog button.

Codywan is probably my favorite, and it seems to be pretty popular with a lot of other people too. I think I like it because it's pretty obviously doomed, so to see art and fics where everything's OK is great (or conversely, when everything is ripping your heart out and you just want them to be happy, but Cody's over here still hunting Obi-Wan down even though it's been 10 years). Anyway, I love Obi-Wan much more than I actually post here. His story is packed full of loss, and he just continues on doing what he believes he has to do. He is steady and solid during the worst parts of his life, and he never waivers. It pays off in the end.

On Cody's part, he is a strong and capable leader who loves his men and is dedicated to serving the Republic. We have seen his kindness and compassion in canon, and we know that he has morals and convictions he won't compromise in the name of service. Unfortunately when it comes to the Clones, canon limits us in regard to Canon/Canon ships. Most clones don't interact with non-clones that aren't either their Jedi general, another Jedi general, a padawan, or a senator. There's also a power imbalance issue, and I think that limits a lot of people in shipping clones with most other canon characters as well.

What I would love to see more (personally) in codywan shipping is Cody being the one to comfort Obi-Wan, or sometimes more "neutral" balances (Cody being the big spoon, or standing over Obi-Wan).

Regarding clone power imbalances, I've seen a lot of different discussions on it by a lot of different people. It's a complicated subject in shipping (heck, any shipping that includes clones has a lot of things to consider that are conplicated). For my part, I chose to recognize canon in that the clones are quite limited in what they're permitted to do, places they're permitted to go, ect, but when they have that bit of freedom (not enough, tbh), they have the free will to make the choices they want, and that would include chosing a partner that puts them in a power imbalanced relationship.

For any other M/M ship in Star Wars (including rarepairs and other less popular ships), I'm live and let live. I may or may not like it, but I would scroll on by if I didn't like it.

[thewriterowl]

Hiya Owl, I always wanted to ask how you feel about Vaderwan? Now seems like a good time 👀👀👀

So, look...Luke is my ultimate harem-boy (he can have anyone and everyone, namely men, in the SW-universe. He wants Revan? He has them. He wants Tarre Vizsla? Go for it. All the Mandos, all the Sith, all the Jedi--anything for the babe of the galaxy) buuuuut....Obi-Wan has some harem qualities too.

Now, normally I am a Codywan fan. Or him with Jango or the clones (though Codywan is the one I read the most) but after speaking with some good friends, Obikin really grew on me. I really started to see a lot of great potential with them and was all, "Ok, he can have him too" and then adding in Vader (as Vader himself or Vaderkin) that is also very, very much approved. (but to be honest, I was corrupted and started to do the same with Anakin--I did not realize I needed Jango Fett/Anakin Skywalker in my life until these people infecting me)

But wow, this new episode? Just the first few moments of the opening? Uhh...that felt pretty heavy for inspiration with the Vaderwan and I am not complaining at all. Like that was pairing, suffering art right there.

ok i saw this www*reddit*com/r/CloneWarsMemes/comments/fx599t/found_this_photo_and_i_just/ and what if obi-wan's girls signed him up for mister corusant or something and he's like but i can't but he's not even putting up that much of a fight. the girls get him ready and they look for a talent and try on swimsuits, anakin is torn cause it's what obi-wan deserves but for his eyes only. kit fisto and quinlan buy front row seats. windu would like to have words. yoda has already ordered flowers

THAT’S. WOW. mister coruscant qsdfghgfds I love how he’s like “oh, no, really, I shouldn’t” while still signing up for it, meanwhile anakin is an absolute disaster, cannot get a word out of him when the girls are making obi-wan tries different outfits (I’m not even talking about swimsuits, anakin is not mentally present for hours after that) windu is loudly complaining the whole time but he still comes to the show and yoda is like “right, right, you are” but he’s also climbing on quinlan’s shoulder to take a better holo

Suicidal Misunderstanding XXVII

Part I - - - - - - - - - - Part XXIV - - - - Part XXV - - - - Part XXVI

Star Wars Time Travel AU #27

“Thank you for your patience; your call is very important to us. The Jedi Public Relations Help Line is currently experiencing high call volume; please continue to hold and—”

“AAAAAAHHHH”

- - -

Have you heard about—”

“Uuugh, not you too.”

“This is important Mrathan! It could mean the end of the war!”

“Or it could mean that the Jedi and all the clones are abandoning the Republic to join the separatists.”

“Don’t joke about that, it’s not funny!”

“Oh my gods relax, obviously—”

- - -

“No, I told you, I’ve got a friend who was standing next to a Jedi when it all went down. That Jedi negotiator, Omi-Won or whatever, died in a Separatist Attack, and his troops all deserted to get revenge—”

“That doesn’t make any sense. If it was a separatist attack why would they desert?”

“They’re clones. They’re loyal but they’re not exactly the sharpest hydrospanners in the tool crate!”

- - -

“I knew it! I knew it! Didn’t I tell you those Karking Wizards couldn’t be trusted? Didn’t I tell you Marja?”

“Yes, dear.”

- - -

“I swear. My cousin Av was bartending that night and there was a whole investigation afterwards and he said one of the clones must have drugged General Kenobi—”

“You can’t drug a Jedi, don’t be bantha-brained.”

“My cousin saw—”

“Well your cousin’s a fucking liar then. Or an idiot who mixed up some rando with an incredibly famous Jedi just because he was hanging out with a bunch of Guard Members.”

“Hey—”

- - -

“It’s tragic really—being forced to hunt down your own father like that, or well, Jedi equivalent to father—”

“Ha! No one can force Anakin Skywalker to do anything he doesn’t want to, that son of a blaster—”

- - -

“Yes, hello, I’m—no, wait, I’ve been on hold for three hours—I—hello? HELLO? Did you seriously disconnect me? This is why nobody trusts you guys!!”

- - -

“Mark my words, this whole thing is just another big flashy distraction from the real stories.”

“That’s what you said about the fucking zilla monster.”

“And I was right!”

- - -

“Obviously they’re covering it up, come on. No one wants to admit a High General was assassinated on Coruscant, not during this fiscal quarter anyway.”

- - -

“Well, I heard he killed himself to protest the war!”

“Jeoelin! Don’t say stuff like that!”

“What! The Jedi were against the war to begin with!”

“Come on, that’s a conspiracy theory.”

“No, really check out these interviews! They keep getting taken down but—”

- - -

“They’re traitors, the lot. Mark my words, those ‘suicide’ rumors are a deliberate coverup attempt for a military coop. Why else—”

“I don’t think the Jedi started those rumors. They just look kind of irritated when someone asks about them.”

“A cunning ruse!”

- - -

“Look, I’m just saying—”

“This is real life Taman, you can’t—”

“I’m just saying that if I was put in charge of hundreds of thousands of perfectly engineered human specimens—”

“Real person shipping is gross and you are NOT dragging me back into your nasty ass discourse!”

“and I also happened to have a magically heightened libido—”

“Are you—are you even listening to yourself? Not every piece of news about the Jedi is a coverup for something horny! You have got to stop going on those holonet harem conspiracy boards—”

“I’m just saying—”

- - -

“Maybe they’ve decided the republic’s just not worth it. I mean sure, they’ve got an evil robot overlord but have you SEEN the latest senate tax hike? Why are you booing? I’M RIGHT.”

- - -

“I am so confused—didn’t he already die?”

“Yeah, I also thought he died.”

“What? No, what are you two talking about?”

“Wasn’t that—there was that assassination on Mon Cal, right? And then a whole Separatist incursion—”

“Oh my force Quinn, that was the King of Mon Cal, not Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

“Wait that was this year? Hey, Patrick—was the invasion of Mon Cal this year or last year?”

“I think it was this year—hold on, did General Kenobi actually die or is that a conspiracy theory?”

"Y’all—”

- - -

“We’re fucked. We are completely fucked.”

“That is NOT General Skywalker.”

“It is! Look!”

“That holo is totally faked! The Hero With No Fear wouldn’t speeder run through Coruscant crying.”

“BUT WHAT IF HE DID SAARA?!? WHAT IF HE DID?!?”

“...Oh my gods, we’re fucked.”

- - -

Palpatine rubbed at the headache localized in his temples. Of all the many outcomes he had foreseen, Obi-Wan Kenobi having some kind of...unclear mental breakdown had simply not been one of them. 

Yes, he had manipulated events over the last decade so Kenobi would be forced to take on the most dangerous missions. Certainly, he had sent him to the most desperate fronts of the war. Sure, he had systemically overworked, undersupplied, and misinformed him at key junctures. But he had intended to kill the nuisance not—whatever the hells this was. And of course Skywalker, true to his cultivated over-attachment, had chased after him!

Why couldn’t Kenobi have simply fallen like a normal Jedi. Given into despair. That he could have worked with, easily!

He had, of course, briefly suspected this was some kind of ruse on Kenobi’s part, as Dooku clearly did. But Amidala’s grief and fear had not been faked—he could practically taste the memory of Skywalker’s distress through her. Their apartment was still lush with the horror, grief, and anger of his future apprentice’s weeping. From what the Jedi had reported, Obi-Wan may very well have attempted to end his own life in front of the boy. Palpatine seethed—so much potential, and still things were rapidly spiraling out of control.

At least his speech today would be pleasurable—already the darkside swirled as rumors of the Negotiator and the Hero with No Fear sparked dread. With any luck, putting Senator Amidala at the center of the upcoming media storm would double as both a strike against public confidence in the Jedi and bait for Skywalker’s return. Kenobi would make a passable martyr—one decent Jedi lost to a corrupt institution—if he could just find—

Sidious’s musings were interrupted by a specially programmed comm alert. Unknown source—but only one boy was ever given this number. Palpatine carefully pulled a concerned facade over his victorious sneer.

“Hello?” he asked with calculatingly puzzled caution.

“Chancellor Palpatine! It’s Anakin! I’m so glad you were able to pick up the comm!” came the overdue and distinctly awkward greeting.

“Anakin, my boy!” The Chancellor cried. “I can’t tell you what a relief it is to hear from you—are you alright? The council’s been saying the most dreadful things about you and Master Kenobi!”

There was a long pause.

“The council...doesn’t know I’m calling, Chancellor,” Anakin said, clearly stressed. “This. This is a secret call.”

“The Jedi told me they didn’t know where you were!” Palpatine responded, gently digging for answers besides the inanely obvious.

“Uh. They don’t. Well they didn’t. Obi-Wan called them just now, so they know generally where we are, but uh.” There was a brief pause. “The council seemed really upset, to be honest. I mean they were upset before before but uh...sorry...” Skywalker sounded deeply pained, and Palpatine’s lips curled up even as his brow furrowed.

“Do you mean that you and Obi-Wan are acting against the council now?” the Sith pressed.

“No, Chancellor. I mean—yes! That is—I mean—I really want to tell you everything but right now Obi-Wan and I really need some help—but Obi-Wan doesn’t trust you—I mean he doesn’t trust a lot of people but—this call is secret from Obi-Wan. And the Council. I’m in a broom closet.” Palpatine could practically taste Anakin’s discomfort, even without a visual.

“I’m honored you trust me enough to bring me into your confidence,” Palpatine said soothingly. “Whatever it is I can do to help, you need only ask.”

“Are you sure? Thank you but I don’t—I mean things are mostly fine it’s just. Um. I don’t want to be a bother.”

“Now Anakin, I’ve told you before I’m not a Jedi—I’m not going to attack you for wanting to improve things." Palpatine leaned backwards as the conversation reentered familiar territory.

There was a brief pause before the Jedi Knight unleashed a sudden torrent of words. 

“We attacked Krell and stole the 212th and 501st and are on our way to defeat Dooku. It was Obi-Wan’s idea but I helped. It’s technically treason but it could end the war sooner. Obi-Wan’s a little insane. Can you please keep the Jedi High Council from telling the public that Obi-Wan is crazy? Or dangerous? Just until we kill Dooku and fix everything and get Obi-Wan some help? I need some time to figure out how to protect him—the council wants to throw him under the media speeder-van but please, sir, I can’t let that happen. I would owe you greatly.”

Palpatine closed his eyes for a moment as he processed. When he opened them again (not that anyone was around to see) they were burning yellow.

“Of course, my boy,” Darth Sidious crooned. 

“They did want to hold a press release today warning everyone that dear Obi-Wan might be a public threat—but I’m certain I can hold off. I’m confident the two of you are more than a match for Dooku regardless of Obi-Wan’s...mental state. Once you return to Coruscant I assure you, I’ll make sure your Master has access to the finest mental institutions. I’m so sorry he’s putting you through all this grief, after years of telling you to hide your own struggles. Don’t worry about the Jedi.”

“...Thank you, Chancellor Palpatine. I owe you for this.”

“Nonsense, however I can help! Just make sure to stay safe—poor Senator Amidala’s been besides herself with concern over your sudden disappearance.”

A small reminder not to do anything too foolish, I still need him to want to live...a touch more maiming wouldn’t go amiss though. If Dooku manages to kill Kenobi, if Obi-Wan attacks Anakin—Skywalker’s fall is guaranteed. Worst case, Dooku’s removed a tad early and Obi-Wan ‘tragically’ succumbs to his own diseased mind in a mental ward.

I really couldn’t have to planned it better—I’ll have to make Kenobi’s funeral a lavish affair, as thanks.

“Can you tell Padme I’m alright, please?” Anakin pleaded softly. “I have to destroy this comm once the call ends.”

“It would be my honor,” Palpatine replied seriously.

“Thank you, Chancellor—I’ve got to go now,” Anakin said, reluctant.

“Stay safe, son.”

“Thank you, Chancellor.”

The call ended.

Palpatine took a moment to revel before summoning a soon to be deeply grateful Senator for a sudden change of plans.

Anakin scrubbed his face, groaning.

“You did well, Anakin,” Obi-Wan said earnestly. “Excellent job.”

He took the comm gently from his former padawan’s hand, placing it on the ground and frying it with a prepared EMP before clenching a fist to grind it to dust.

“I don’t know,” Ahsoka teased. “The constant ‘please’ and ‘sorry’ and ‘thank you, Chancellor’ was a bit over the top.”

Anakin frowned. “What are you talking about?” he asked.

Ahsoka and Obi-Wan exchanged wary looks; Anakin’s frown deepened. “I was being polite,” he said defensively. “He’s the Chancellor of the Republic and I just lied to him.”

“He just—he just lied to you,” his padawan retorted, gesturing emphatically as her Grandmaster looked down. “He said that the Jedi wanted to hold a press conference ‘warning the public’ about Obi-Wan’s ‘mental state,’ and you know that’s not true.”

Anakin’s mouth open and shut a few times. “Yeah—well—it wouldn’t exactly be the wrong thing to do, right? I mean if Obi-Wan really had kidnapped a whole battalion after having a mental breakdown? If he was a public threat? Really the Jedi should have suggested it.”

“Maybe,” Ahsoka replied, shifting in her seat. “But they didn’t, they just presented the info to Chancellor Palpatine as a distraction, right? And then he lied to you about it, because he knew you would take Obi-Wan’s side."

“Maybe the Council decided to go further,” Anakin hedged.

“Anakin you were at the planning meeting,” Obi-Wan said quietly. “You saw the dossier about myself we prepared—it only made me out to be a threat to Dooku, and to the Chancellor. You were the one who told him we kidnapped the 212th, and he was the one who introduced the idea of a ‘public threat.’”

Anakin fidgeted. “He must have his reasons for messing with the truth,” he muttered, flicking a shattered piece of the comm unit away. “Maybe—maybe he thought it would be better for me to hear.”

Obi-Wan pressed his hands to his eyes. “Anakin—” he said, before cutting himself off. He inhaled sharply, then exhaled slowly and shakily. “Anakin. He said, and I quote, ‘I’m not a Jedi—I’m not going to attack you for wanting to improve things.’ Why do you think he said that?”

The younger man pulled his knees up to his chin in response. “He was trying to comfort me,” he said, chest feeling tight.

“Why would implying that the Jedi—your friends and family, who care about you—would attack you for ‘wanting to improve things’ be a comfort? Couldn’t he just have said ‘you’re not a bother’?” Ahsoka pressed.

“He doesn’t—” Anakin looked away. “He’s had some issues with how the Order treats me before. Times the council punished me too harshly. Unimportant things from when I was a padawan. Because he cares.”

“Has he encouraged you to talk about this with the Council, or with Obi-wan?” she continued, frustration starting to edge out sympathy, hands open wide. “Or did he just tell you that ‘the Jedi’ would never understand, but he would?”

“It’s not like that!” Anakin snapped.

“Also what was that dig at Obi-Wan?”

“What are you talking about? He said he would help him get the best healers!”

“Yeah, but he also blamed him for ‘putting you through this grief’ which is a super shady way of trying to get you to be mad at him for being suicidal!”

“You’re just looking for stuff to criticize!”

“No, that call was just creepy. And bringing up ‘years of telling you to hide your own struggles’ sort of sounded like you told him that Obi-Wan was a bad Master!” she accused.

“No! Never! Master Kenobi and Chancellor Palpatine have always cared about me and always sort-of talked about each other like that—they just don’t get each other—and the Chancellor doesn’t know that Obi-Wan and I had a big discussion about our issues—”

Obi-Wan took a shuddering breath and Anakin immediately panicked.

“Wait, no, Master, I’m sorry—” he said desperately as Ahsoka’s eyes widened in dismay. “Please don’t cry—”

“I let this happen,” he whispered, eyes glistening. “I let him manipulate my own brother—”

“I’m not manipulated!”

Obi-Wan barked out a hoarse laugh, then another, this time edging on a sob. His shoulders began to shake. Anakin watched in horror as the shine in Obi-Wan’s eye’s began to overflow in the corners.

“Okay I’m manipulated! I’m manipulated!” Anakin said frantically. “Palpatine’s a Sith lord, you’re right, I’m wrong, I’m sorry for doubting you!”

“Oh Force,” Ahsoka said in a hush. “I should have seen it—I always thought he was a little creepy, but he never said anything in front of me, and I didn’t want to speak out of turn, but I should have.”

“No, padawan, this was my fault,” Obi-Wan said hoarsely. “I was the adult, Anakin was just a child—”

“Don’t say it like that,” Anakin snapped. “I’m a Knight, I’m perfectly capable of taking responsibility for my own—for my own mistakes.”

Obi-Wan and Ahsoka both launched themselves at him, Ahsoka hugging him around his waist while Obi-Wan threw his arms around his arms and shoulders.

“He’s an asshole,” Ahsoka said fiercely. “He’s responsible for everything, not me, not Obi-Wan, and not you—he’s an evil bastard and he’s trying to tear us apart but he’s not going to succeed.”

Anakin winced, looking to the side. “Look, I’m—I’m sorry—ow!—don’t bite me! I’m trying to apologize—ow!”

“No more apologies!” she said angrily. “Blame Palpatine!”

Obi-Wan let out a watery laugh. “Oh, Ahsoka,” he said fondly. “What ever did we do without you?”

There was a moment of uncomfortable silence as they all processed that. Anakin pulled his arms free to encircle them both, holding on tightly.

“I’m not gonna let anything pull us apart,” Anakin muttered. “It doesn’t matter who the Sith lord is, it doesn’t matter what Palpatine says or doesn’t say, Nothing’s going to tear us apart, okay? Nothing.”

Obi-Wan pressed his head into Anakin’s shoulder and found himself, not for the first time in recent memory, praying that the force would let it all be true.

A Bad Beginning ( Bad Batch x Reader )

Warning(s): This is going to be the beginning of a collection of one-shots surrounding the Star Wars - Bad Batch (+Clone Wars) universe.

So...I like Bad Batch so I wanted to write some stuff for them. This will be running alongside my Resident Evil series I have going at the moment and most likely, those will be my two main focuses, though I will probably put some one-shots in between them to space things out.  Title: A Bad Beginning Pairing: Bad Batch x Reader  Fandom: Star Wars - Bad Batch (+ Clone Wars) Word Count: 3,300

Chapter: One Previous Part ● Next Part

        How had it come to this? After living through suicide missions and harrowing adventures since you were a kid, was this going to be how it ends? A blaster shoved in your face from someone you thought to be your ally? Jester, the clone boy who you had known for most of your life, had his weapon pointed in your direction. This wasn't how this mission was supposed to go! It was supposed to be a simple one, easy!

        Pain shot through you as you fell to the ground, a final feeling of betrayal washing over you. 

                                                      ♥　♡　♥

        Ever since you were a kid, you were always praised for your adaptability. You were able to think quickly on your feet which helped you not only in coming up with plans but also when you were in a fight. Maybe that was why they decided to pair you up with this specific squad of clones. What were you going to say when they offered you the position? It was a promotion from where you were, just having left your status of padawan (officially). 

        Normally, as a Jedi Knight, you would be given control of a bigger amount of clones such as a battalion or regiment. Not just a squad! Jedi didn't work with just one squad alone and that was it! It was embarrassing and it felt like they didn't believe in you. When you asked about it, Master Yoda has said that it was because this squad was different from the other squads. What did that even mean? He was hard to understand to begin with and now he wasn't making any sense! Why would a single squad need a Jedi to help captain it? 

        You had heaps of experience dealing with clones and leading troops. You had trained under Commander Cody as well as Captain Rex. You worked alongside Anakin and Obi-wan on the rare occasion. Why would they waste your talents on four clones, four clones! As a padawan, you had controlled multitudes of clones alongside your Jedi master. So why would they have to demote you to such a low position? It hurt. You knew you couldn't let your emotions control you but it was hard not to be disappointed. Your force specialty was with clones... You had a few clones even say that you were their favorite Jedi!

        You felt very strongly about clones and their need for individuality. Some Jedi treated them more like tools than people or acted as if they were all the same. Sure, they were made with the same DNA but personality was shaped with experiences. No two clones were truly the same. You urged shinies to pick a name and stop using their CT numbers as it only dehumanized them. Did the Jedi treat them that way because they weren't connected to the force in the same way? 

        It was important to you to remember each clone's name that you met and you were pretty good at it. Each had their own little tics and after two times of seeing them, you would have their name committed to memory. This type of connection with the clones had led to many fights with other Jedi but gave you a special place at 79s. 

        It was expected that you would rise through the ranks quickly because of how the clones like you. You couldn't help but be annoyed that they gave Ahsoka more responsibility than you with your single squad, which wasn't even the normal nine! Not to say you were mad at Ahsoka, you loved her. She saw you as an older sister figure. But, you had age and experience over her so why would they pick her? Was it Anakin? This led to a few pouting sessions in your lodgings. 

        "You gotta trust them. I know they aren't that dumb to keep you from using your talents to the fullest." Anakin had said, trying to comfort you. Captain Rex had said something similar when you met him after a rather long night of drinking. In the end, you just had to accept what the Jedi Council decided and hope that it wouldn't be forever. Maybe it would only be temporary. This Clone Force 99...Hopefully, they weren't too terrible. 

        Especially because they decided to get back from a mission in the early hours of the morning, keeping you from getting a real good night's sleep with the preparations you needed to take with paperwork before you would meet them. You hadn't even met him yet and they had already left a bad taste in your mouth. With all the paperwork on your end, you hadn't had time to check your holopad to see what these clones looked like and what their names were. Perhaps it was a small way of you still trying to deny that you would be working with them. 

        The first thing you saw of the group was their ship hurtling towards the hanger as if they were about to perform a crash landing. You were convinced they were about to hit the few people in the hanger with you but somehow with some skill and a lot of luck, they were able to land without doing any damage to the environment and their ship (on the outside at least). The ship was covered in scratches and scuffs, something you weren't surprised about with how they came rushing in. This day was just getting better and better...

        What you saw next was a big surprise for you. Four men walked off of the ship and while you were told that they were malfunctioned clones, you hadn't expected this amount of individuality. If you didn't know already, you would never assume they were clones, to begin with. This was the first time you had ever seen anything close to what these men were and it did increase your curiosity about working with them. 

        The first to come off of the ship had to be the biggest clone you had ever seen in both height and width. It doesn't matter how big or small you were, this clone would make you feel tiny. He was bald and as he got closer, you were able to see that he only had one good eye while the other was a milky white. A scar in the shape of an explosion expanded on his temple, presumably from the attack that left him with one less good eye. This wasn't the only scar on him though it wasn't that rare for clones to have scars. This one simply had more room for scars to reside. 

        The next one to emerge was the exact opposite of the previous one. He wasn't short, he was actually rather tall but the first was still bigger. Instead, this clone was rather thin in comparison to his brothers and had lighter hair than the others in a strange cut. It was hard to tell if he was toned or not due to his armor. He must be able to hold himself out in battle, right? The thing that stood out from him the most was the huge glasses that were resting on his nose. This was the first time you had ever seen a clone wearing glasses. They were huge and reminded you of the eyes of a Dokma. His nose was buried in a holopad as he walked.

        After him, the last two to get off of the ship were similar to each other while different at the same time. Both gave strong vibes of hardened veterans though there was no way for you to guess how old they were. Clones were hard to gauge. The taller of the two had a pissed-off expression as if he was mad about his mere existence. It was hard to tell what he had around one of his eyes, but you could tell he still had two good eyes, unlike the earlier clone. He kept moving a toothpick from one side of his mouth to the other. 

        The other was the smallest of the group, though not short in the slightest. In comparison to his brothers, his hair was quite long and was pulled out of his face by a red bandana with a white skull on the front of it. Half of his face was covered with a skull tattoo and you were curious if he was born/created with it or if he had gotten it. He didn't look angry but instead looked on-guard as if something could attack them at any moment. 

        "Ah! Finally, I was gettin' bored in there!" The one the size of a boulder said, stretching his arms behind his head. He had a loud voice, one fit for a fighter. Not a calculated one but more like the barbarians you had read about. How often did he work out to keep his looks like that? It must help to have Jango Fett's DNA in him. You were beginning to regret not looking at the file to get some more info on these guys. 

        "Of course because you can't just relax on the ship for ten minutes." This voice was colder and felt more like a rushing stream than the Boulder's clap of thunder. That was the man with the toothpick, eyes scanning the area with a small frown. What was up his butt? Coruscant might not be perfect but it was definitely one of the better places to be! 

        "No!" Boulder shouted, shoving the other roughly which earned him a deep growl. Both were staring at each other and Toothpick was about to respond but Skull spoke up before he could. 

        "Quit it. We just got back and I do not want to deal with you two fighting. At least wait until we get back to the barracks." 

        Stern, sharp, this was their leader. Both clones seemed to listen without any more complaints, though the silent looks they shot to each other said there was more to be dealt with. Skull rolled his shoulders and moves his neck from side to side, cracking it as if he had been stuck in the same position for quite some time, 

        "If I am correct, and I am 99.9% of the time, we are actually to be meeting with a Jedi Knight who will be joining us on our next mission. I believe they are to be assigned to us, perhaps to monitor us and confirm we require no more training in any specific field." Glasses spoke, still scrolling through the holopad. 

        "Well, where is he?" Boulder shouted causing a hot flush to run down your spine and up into your cheeks. You knew you could have handled this in a more graceful manner but with how early it was and how you were already annoyed at the bunch, you couldn't keep yourself from stomping over and stopping right in front of them. 

        "Her." 

        All four pairs of eyes turned to look at you and you wanted to die when you noticed they all had to look down. Screw clones and their genetically modified height! All of the clones made fun of you because of it. Screw Fives and Echo! They owed you a drink the next time you went to 79s with them. They liked to make fun of you which was fine in a friendly setting but when you were now supposed to be in charge, the feeling of being inferior to these clones was not ideal. 

        "Oh! I don't mind a girl or nothin'" Boulder rubbed a hand against the back of his neck out of embarrassment while the others looked you up and down. Spotting the lightsaber attacked to your side was enough of an indicator that you must be who Tech was talking about. 

        "Yes, if you would have let me finish, I would have told you that it was a woman we were being assigned. I am not sure why, or if there is a reason for the gender selection or not. Considering the Jedi and how they tend to be equal in those matters, I doubt it had anything to do with why they were picked." There goes Glasses again and you wondered if he talked this much all the time. 

        Toothpick was snickering to himself and it took all the power in your not to use the force to just hit him upside the head. You weren't sure who he was laughing at but it annoyed you nonetheless. How would you get these clones to respect you? Most squads would be lined up the first time they meet their attendant and be almost overly formal. This felt like the exact opposite! Were they judging you based on your height? Your gender? Your age? Perhaps meeting them without getting enough sleep wasn't the best as it put you on edge. 

        The only one who seemed to be regarding you with some sort of respect was Skull as he straightened up, clearing his throat to bring the attention back to the matter at hand. His eyes were deep and held an authority to them few possess. If you weren't so annoyed at the group in front of you, you might even be impressed. 

        "I apologize for their behavior. We've been flying for some time now and I think everyone just needs to relax in the barracks to calm down." He nodded his head and before you could continue, he gestured toward the three others next to him. Glasses had finally taken his nose out of his holopad and Toothpick had finally looked you in the eyes. Do not be intimidated! You were a Jedi Knight! You had dealt with worse clones than this.

        "Let me introduce you to Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair," The man spoke and gestured to each man after he said their name respectively, "-and I am Hunter. We're Clone Force 99 but most people know us as the Bad Batch. I'm guessing that you are the Jedi they want us to work with? I must say that we aren't really used to listening to orders other than basic mission protocols so I apologize in advance for my brothers." 

        "Hey!" Wrecker gasped out, looking genuinely shocked. 

        "You already gave a bad impression." Tech shook his head, fingers moving on his screen without his eyes even being on it. It was becoming more and more obvious as to why they were named the way they were. You made a mental note to read up on their files after you finished your nap that you planned to take after this meeting. There was no way you were going to stay up after this exhausting interaction. 

        "I'm Jedi Knight (Y/N), but you can just call me (Y/N). As it seems like you already know, I'm going to be traveling with you for a bit and helping you on your missions. I will also be reporting back to the council on the missions, debriefing them on everything that happens. This is a standard procedure." 

        "Jedi don't normally get put with squads, so this is anything but standard. In fact, Jedi are normally placed at the battalion level or higher, allowing for clones to lead the lower ranks and smaller groups. Jedi Padawans have been known to be placed with a regiment that is under command of a Legion which is led by of the Jedi General, most often times their Master," 

        "Then why are they puttin' her with us? Do they not trust us or somethin'?" There goes Boulder.

        "I wouldn't 'put that past them with how you never follow instructions." And Toothpick.

        "It could be that or it could be that the Jedi Knight here is unable to handle the responsibility that comes with higher ranks of command and needs to be placed in a smaller setting as practice, though I do not believe that our Squad would be the best to place her with if that is the case. We tend to move at a fast pace and we already have Hunter so we do not need orders from another, it would simply be like an echo of him at that point." 

        "Boys!" All three clones turned towards Hunter as he yelled, fire in his eyes. Tears were burning your eyes but you refused to let them fall. It was overwhelming, this entire situation. You had been promised since you were young, that your talents would be a huge help to the galaxy but it wasn't feeling like it at this point. This felt like they were shoving you under the rug and moving to deal with other, more important and favored, Jedi. Ashoka probably wouldn't have been given command if it wasn't for Anakin. 

        You tried to remind yourself to stay calm and not place the blame on anyone but the lack of sleep was really getting to you. You were tired and hungry at this point and just to top it all off, the squad you had been put in charge of wasn't showing you any type of respect. None in the slightest! You wanted to scream! 

        What you were unaware of were the talents that Hunter possessed which allowed him to sense the subtle changes that your body was making. He could feel your heart rate pick up and your breathing becoming heavier. He sensed the tears forming and knew that his brothers were upsetting him. It was true that he also wasn't very convinced that you would be able to keep up with the batch but that didn't matter at the moment. He still knew when to be polite. 

        "Listen," The harsh tone your voice had taken got all of their attention, "The four of you don't need to know why I have been assigned to you. What you need to know is that I outrank you, alright? And that means that I deserve to be treated with respect. I will not continue to allow you to talk down to me or talk about me as if I'm not standing right here in front of you." 

        "I have led thousands of troopers in battle and won too many for me to even begin to count. If you want me to be honest, I don't want to be paired with you either so I guess we agree on something! I am not happy that I get stuck with some random squad instead of getting the rank I deserve! You better find your respect soon because we ship out in forty-eight hours. I will not tolerate this kind of behavior and I promise you, there will be repercussions." 

        With that, you turned your back on the group and began to storm your way back towards your lodgings. It was true that you hadn't acted very Jedi-like at that moment and you could see some of the mechanic's eyes lingering on you but you were having a rough time. Your time as a Padawan shouldn't have more power than now! It wasn't fair that you had to be stuck with this group of rude clones. You had no idea what Master Yoda was talking about when he said you would be a good match. 

        Clicking your Comm device on, you moved to shoot a message to Fives and Echo, saying that you needed an emergency meeting at 79s tonight and that no matter what, they could not skip out. You turned your screen back off before they were able to respond, as they were most likely still asleep anyway. You had to talk to someone about these clones and complain about everything that had happened. 

        "She isn't going to last more than one mission." Crosshair hissed out as you made your way back to your room.

        Oh, these clones were so gonna get it.  1 ● 2 ●  3 ♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥  　♡　♥　♡　♥　♡　♥
