Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
a few weeks ago my queen @sputnikan recommended me Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez saying “it reads like a star wars fanfic” and not only was she right but the book itself destroyed me into pieces and what a better way to get the brainrot out of me by drawing a bunch of scenes but with these space mfs. anyways if you enjoy paranormal shit, horror stuff and messed up father/son relationships please read that book
You know,,, a thing that makes obikin so intrinsically interesting for me it's:
Obi-Wan needs to be chosen,
While Anakin needs to choose.
Obi-Wan feeling like he was always the second choice, always like he's a placeholder for someone else, and Anakin feeling like he had no choices of his own since he was a child; "The Chosen One with no choices of his own" to cite a passage in one of the sw books.
I'd even say that Anakin wants to be chosen but needs to choose, while Obi-Wan wants to choose but needs to be chosen.
The fine difference between what they want and what they need, and the real consequences of this subtle difference when their needs aren't met both in their relationship and for the galaxy,,,,, delicious
Anakin being chosen over the years again and again and again by Obi-Wan while never knowing the truth of it; Obi-Wan being incapable of letting him die no matter how the galaxy would have suffered less without Vader; and then the consequences of Obi-Wan choosing to walk away from him on Mustafar and again ten years later... devastating.
Only in the very end when Anakin becomes his own person again, finally he chooses: he saves his son and steps back into the light, ends the terror. After he dies Obi-Wan calls out to him in the Force and that's when Obi-Wan is chosen: when Anakin could have decided to not follow him, to let himself fade, but instead he chooses his Master and follows him home.
