re: timing of mentor reaping

ooh both options are delicious. the tragedy of obi-wan operating per usual and volunteering only for anakin to be called soon after is appealing, but i feel like mentor reaping after the tributes could be really interesting.

like on obi-wan’s end, the horror of anakin being called could freeze him in his place, also make him think about the year he put his name in multiple times and wondering if he lied and did it again, thinking about having to mentor someone he wants to die so that anakin makes it out, etc. and then on anakin’s end, i feel like even if he is nonchalant-ish about being reaped, the moment that would create insecurity/break him momentarily would be obi-wan pausing to volunteer as mentor bc he would follow obi-wan anywhere and and kill to come back to him and why is obi-wan not doing the same? when rlly obi-wan is just too shocked/still processing to react in a timely manner

j my thoughts, thanks for listening!

(re: this hunger games au post)

so this absolutely mirrors my thoughts and why i'm torn!

if obi-wan's 'reaping' is first and he volunteers to be the mentor regardless of his name not being drawn because the one chosen is pregnant or just won five years ago and is too traumatized or something, and THEN anakin's name is drawn, it's devastating for obi-wan who now has to be his mentor and maybe watch him die while trying to do everything he can to prevent it. it's also devastating to anakin who will never know if obi-wan would have volunteered for him.

if obi-wan's reaping is after anakin's and he volunteers, a part of anakin can just be smug and satisfied -- and there can be a moment where he's watching the victor section from the stage, eyes locked on obi-wan's devastated face, and he gets to see him volunteer, gets to see him torn to shreds by the possibility of losing anakin and then maybe gets to see a hint of 'killer disassociation' flash over obi-wan's eyes as he stands to volunteer to be the mentor. anakin's obsessed with obi-wan's games and would absolutely adore obi-wan getting so angry and feral over him.

and then there's the option where the victor mentoring reaping is after the tribute drawing but obi-wan's name is pulled and he doesn't volunteer at all - either anakin's latent but powerful control of the Force makes the person drawing choose the slip of flimsi with obi-wan's name on it, or the odds are just in anakin's favor and the galaxy itself knows that where anakin goes, obi-wan should follow and vice versa, aka what anakin's been trying to tell everyone (even obi-wan) for years

#asks #hunger games au #obikin #tbh ALL GOOD OPTIONS in my opinion!!#theyre all just different flavors of angst #especially because anakin's insecurities about always taking and never being given affection from obi-wan #have been so spelled out in the first chapter #that i think the right combo of events in the second chapter could really emphasize those insecurities and worries #which would make him even more feral #which we love <3 #and that would build and build until the very moment that obi-wan breaks #and begs him to do whatever he has to do in order to come out of that arena alive #(right before he gets sent up to the arena)#because that is one of those moments im literally writing towards #thats gonna be such a heady moment #cant wait #see you there lol

-- I MEAN IT

-- SPOILER THOUGHTS INCOMING

-- it's gonna be all over the place as per usual

-- spoilers...

-- incoming....

-- in...

--- 3

-- 2

--- 1

-- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

-------------------------

ohmygod.. that episode.... aaaaaaaaaaaaa my heart. it hurts 😭💔

okay so first of all: baby leia, my precious, i love you! 💖💖💖

umm... where is the Grand Inquisitor? hello?! why didn't they address him at all?! hasn't he been collected? is he all right? is he safe? is he just chilling in a bacta tank?! i need to know!!! please for the love of all that is star wars PLEASE do not retcon Rebels. please (i assume they won't but still, i am scared) 😭

didn't mention this last time but Sung Kang is doing an AMAZING job as the Fifth Brother, imo. i am soooo happy with his performance and presence and ohmy they mad the Fifth Brother cool again!!! YESS!!

also just fyi, even if i may criticize Reva's character for being too impulsive or whatever, i still feel that Moses Ingram is doing a PHENOMENAL job and she is doing what she is supposed to be doing with her performance. so any slander i see about Moses will be reported. we do not stand for racism in this blog!! you may not like the character, which is fine, but please keep in mind that it is a FICTIONAL character that you have a problem with! which has nothing to do with the actor portraying her.

fuck racism and all the racists!!!!

anyywayyy....

who the fuck was voicing Freck?! i felt like i knew the voice.. i thought it was Seth Rogen?! but it's not?! was that Zach Braff?! that's the only name i see in the credits that could have been it. what the fuck. i need to know xD

QUINLAN VOS CONFIRMED ALIVE AND HELPING PEOPLE OHMYGOD THIS IS HUGE!!! you have no idea how happy this makes me!!!

while i may have my issues with Vos, i feel like he was a very good friend of Kenobi, so even just the mention of him makes me happy, and just to see the look on Kenobi's face when he finds out. oh the joy. the hope. i love it!!

also this means that Vos is legit back to the light and he is doing what he can to help the galaxy which just makes me feel a lot of things.. i feel like he's doing it for Ventress.. which.. ugh. my heart 😭😭😭

also HAYDEEENNN 💖💖💖💖😭😭😭💖💖💖

he is back and he is menacing and i love him ohmygod

and that vision of Anakin.. noooooo.. my heart... 😭😭😭

glad they did the voice with James Earl Jones, though, otherwise we would have heard a LOT of complaints... and honestly, the voice is James Earl Jones.

but i do love Hayden's presence. you can see some of his, aka Anakin's mannerisms in there, in the movements, and I LOVE IT

as for the rematch.. oh boy....

that was heartbreaking..

not only do we see Obi-Wan completely traumatized and scared and broken for the first time ever, running away, barely being able to defend himself, Anakin is THERE, he is there and he's angry and he's hurt and he wants Obi-Wan to feel the same pain he felt.. and that just.. breaks my heart. 💔😭

the way he dragged Obi-Wan through the fire.. aaaa. noooo.. dammit.. that hurt so much..😭😭😭😭

but then he just... left?! i guess it's either that he want's to play with him and hurt him emotionally and mentally more, OR it's the good in him that doesn't actually want to hurt him.. idk... but it hurts...

so i guess that wasn't THE rematch... we'll get more...

but damn... this was a hell of a round one...💔
