Guys

Guys I am so over-the-moon I literally feel queasy--I can't believe it. This is literally my dream come true...my ultimate projectable is canonically like me! And what a huge mood.

"Maybe he didn't want to be with any of them but rather to be more like each of them."

Not knowing whether it's actually attraction or whether there's just a lot about them that you actually like?? That you'd like to see in yourself?? Baby I've been there too many times to count

"Or maybe he wanted to kiss all of them."

Not being able to tell what's going on because your attraction to everyone is equal??? BOY what a fat mood (especially as someone who--if I had to choose a label--would be bi-aroace).

In short I am SCREAMING because we have such well-written representation, at long last, and holy FRICKING HECK IT IS THE ONE CHARACTER WHO I MOST DESPERATELY WANTED TO SEE IT FROM

CANON AROACE OBI-WAN!!!!!!

If everything in the revenge of sith didn’t happen and Padmé and Anakin had a second wedding to celebrate with their family:

Rex walking over to Ahsoka: Enjoying the ceremony commander?

Ahsoka eating her slice of cake: Hm?

Rex: The ceremony.. You know the.. uh… romance between General Skywalker and Senator Amidala..

Ahsoka: Oh. Nah I don’t get the romance. [Eats a piece of her slice]

Rex:

Ahsoka still eating her cake: I’m here for the cake.

Rex:

Rex: Oh thank force me too. I’m so confused on half of what’s going on. It’s just General Skywalker and Senator Amidala ogling at each other.

Ahsoka: Yeah. For some reason Obi-wan is sobbing like one of those mom’s at their daughter’s wedding in those holomovies.

Rex:

Ahsoka:

Ahsoka: Want to get some more cake?

Rex: Yes.

Just a little friendly reminder, because I’ve seen a few people already debating it on twitter, but y’all there’s really no reason to fight over Obi Wan being either bi or aroace. People can be both bi and aroace. I’m literally both. Bi aroace people are a thing and we are very valid. Obi Wan being bi aroace is amazing and wonderful. Its rep I honestly thought I would never see for myself, especially in something like star wars, and I’m so happy to see so many other people are finding representation in him as well.

Simply vibrating because Obi-Wan being aroace adds such a delicious flavor to his story. To his relationship with Anakin.

"They knew each other better than brothers, more intimately than lovers; they were the complementary halves of a single warrior."

And it just made me think about the kind of love that Obi-Wan does experience--I've thought for a long time that his fundamental form of love is agape.

Anakin's is eros--firey, passionate love (often romantic or sexual). This is essentially the opposite of Obi-Wan's character. But Anakin and Obi-Wan connect because they share the other five of the seven forms of love:

Ludus - playful love, through their constant bantering and jovial teasing. Anakin loves this way more strongly, but they both connect to each other through it.

Philia - the love of committed, steady friendship. Do I even need to explain this one? In this, the two are evenly matched.

Storge - unconditional, familial love. Obi-Wan calls Anakin his brother; Anakin says that Obi-Wan is the closest thing to a father he's ever had. Despite the tensions and conflicts they have, their love for each other is unwavering. This is another love where both share evenly.

Philautia - self-love. It can be compassionate, understanding, and gracious towards oneself, as Obi-Wan typically practices it (although he struggles to do this because of his guilt), but it can also be selfish, fame-seeking, and narcissistic love, which is how Anakin experiences it, one of many things leading to his fall.

And pragma - long-lasting, companionate love, shared by partners and formed in a common goal (like raising a family). Their relationship with Ahsoka points to this, but there is so much more. "They are closer than friends, closer than brothers. ...They have become men together. Neither can imagine life without the other. The war has forged them into one."

They love each other so strongly in all of these ways, and that is what forges such an unbreakable bond between them.

But only Obi-Wan truly has agape love. It is what keeps the bond alive when Anakin tries to burn it to ash, and it is what defines Obi-Wan's character. This is self-sacrifical love. Faithfulness, commitment, love without expecting anything in return, love despite the pain. It is everlasting, selfless love.

It is why, after watching Anakin betray all of what they had lived for together, Obi-Wan shows mercy. It is why, after ten years, Obi-Wan looks at Darth Vader and still sees Anakin, still reaches for him--still shows him mercy even when he is told Anakin is gone. It is why, after twenty years, Obi-Wan faces Vader again, and allows himself to pass into the Force to let Luke escape; it is why he carries no hatred, why he does not strike out at Vader, why he does not defend himself from the final blow. It is why he smiles.

It is why he is waiting for Anakin when he finally, finally, comes home.

I need to rant about Star Wars making aroace-spec!Obi-Wan canon because this hellsite needs to know what that means to bi/pan-oriented aroaces.

To preface, I have been a huge Obi-Wan fan since long before I realized I myself was bi-oriented aroace.

His understanding of love, especially for Satine, is something that had always resonated with me, and I am sure people like me. I never understood why until I realized it was because I shared those views.

I doubt the initial intention of Satine’s character was to highlight this aspect of Obi-Wan’s, but regardless of what Dave Filoni and other writers involved intended, they created a story that was tailored to the aroace experience. A narrative that exalts and celebrates the nature of our love.

Obi-Wan and Satine are two people who loved each other dearly. We know that they spent a whole year with each other as teenagers. But the beauty of it is that the writers never went far into detail of the nature of their love. How much of it was romantic, sexual, or tertiary attraction.

We do know is that it was a deep love that haunted them ~20 years later. We know they both fantasize about abandoning their duties to be with each other. But in the end they put aside their feeling for each other to prioritize their duties. Not because they thought their love was childish or anything, but because they loved each other so much they couldn’t bear to stand in the way of the other’s dreams.

Obi-Wan always wanted to be a Jedi. As established in the High Republic books, a Jedi cannot prioritize the sake of one person over the rest of the galaxy. He, as a Jedi and according to the belief he had subscribed to all his life, could not put Satine over everyone else. Satine could never put him in a situation where he’d have to make that decision.

Satine had an equally grave, but higher profile responsibility. She needed to fix her broken people and lead Mandalore. That could never be possible if she had a Jedi or even a former-Jedi padawan at her side. Obi-Wan could never jeopardize her dream of a prosperous Mandalore.

And so they parted ways. Because they love each other so much, they want the other to be happy, even if it’s without each other. This is something so inherently aromantic: happiness without needing to be with another person.

And what makes it all the more authentic is how complicated their love is. Because being aromantic or asexual doesn’t make you loveless, just more complicated to express conventionally. They prioritized another commitment over their relationship, but that did not diminish their love for each other. We see it when Obi-Wan goes against the council’s orders and runs blindly and foolishly into a trap to rescue Satine. And when in her dying breath Satine professes she’s always loved him, and she always will. Even after 20 years, their love persists. They bickered and flirted constantly, they were gentle with each other, and they gazed at each other like no one else. It’s subtle yet purposeful, and they both understood the dynamic of their relationship. Once they were kids who fooled around, but now they’ve grown into the people they always hoped to become. They know that because of their decision they could never do that to each other. They could never be together. A mandalorian and a Jedi. But this, for them, is enough.

This is the relationship many aroaces, like myself dream about. Something that is just love. No obligation for the conventional rituals of a relationship. But being comfortable in how we embrace our love and attraction (or lack thereof). This kind of relationship hard to come by in entertainment, especially in huge franchises like Star War. It is messy and complex and just as beautiful as any conventional romantic or sexual relationship. And Star Wars still has yet to realize how enlightened it is for people like me.

I accept that back in the 70s, George Lucas never intended to make. I accept that in creating TCW and Satine, Dave Filoni and co. never meant to write an aroace-coded narrative. Yet the story and character of Obi-Wan Kenobi was one aroaces could immediately identify with. Because his understanding of love is not unrealistic or unattainable. It is real and natural. Valid and reasonable enough for them to anchor it to the iconic and beloved character of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

a star wars fanfiction

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....

After Anakin had Padawan himself, Obi-Wan thought of having another Padawan. He never thought about meeting you, a young Jedi who bore a striking resemblance to his own troubled past.

He can't ignore the situation that happened to him before and now happened to you, and he can't ignore the force calling him to take you as his own.

This is a story about family, love, betrayal and tragedy.

Anyway on a fun lighter note here's some canonically asexual (and a couple aromantic) characters.

DC

Connor Hawke - Confirmed in comics last year, also confirmed to be alloromantic.

Roshanna Chatterji - Confirmed ace in "The movement" comics, also implied aro due to context.

Spooner - Confirmed in episode 10 season 7 (If I remember right) of Legends of tomorrow, also implied aro due to context.

Star Wars

Vernestra Rwoh - Confirmed aroace by Justina Ireland, there was also a line in book implying.

Leox Gyasi - Lines in book and I'm assuming from the article Claudia Gray expanded somewhere.

Vi Moradi - Elizabeth Schaefer explained that it was Delilah S. Dawsons idea

Sola Nabberie- Confirmed by E.K Johnson implied in book

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Implied bi (or pan) and/or araoce in Padawan

Other TV shows

Abbi in the impefects - Said in episode one and mentioned again later

Florence in sex education - Haven't watched it but heard the clip

Todd in Bojack Horseman - Same again

Marvel

Gwenpoole - technically the words haven't been said but apparently she's been seen with an ace flag during marvel voices pride

Nadia Van Dyne (my favourite) - Confirmed aroace and quorioromantic on twitter by Unstoppable Wasp writer Jeremy Whitley, also apparently by Sam Maggs but I haven't seen that.

And last but not least Yelena Belova - Confirmed by Devin Grayson because you should not be able to take back confirming an identity.

Also heavily implied throughout "Pale Little Spider"
