I tried to draw this as a mix between the original "Haus of Decline" comic style + the 2003 Clone Wars series so it's a bit looser than I like to work normally 😅
so @merrysithmas got an ask about some obikin blogs to follow, and i'm really happy to be mentioned. i figured i would share some blogs that I've followed and enjoyed over the past few years who all produce amazing obikin art, stories, gifs, headcanons, meta, or just general enthusiasm for the ship and good vibes. BUT by no means is this list comprehensive, i recognize that fandom works kind of in cohorts, and my cohort is basically the people who joined the ship at the same time as me in spring of 2020, but hopefully this is a good starting off point for people to branch out from 🫶
@jedmossfeld @skynobi @squishbaebae @writegowrite @adaliak @ossidae-passeridae and goddamnit I think Tumblr is done letting me add people. there are more but if you branch out from what these folks have reblogged you'll be golden!!
top four albums lately... with a challenge that I added for myself... HMM!!!
I'll try to put in albums i never mentioned on here, that's the challenge!
...oh dear.
Metropolis: The Chase Suite (Special Edition) by Janelle Monae: I was aware of Monae's existence, but the first song I really paid attention to was Mushrooms & Roses. It was played in a certain Austrian fast food and I immediately loved the piece and thought I'd better listen to it without crowd noises. I added it to my playlist and that was it for a while. Then the following year (meaning, this year, right now), we got a class on Black Arts and had to do presentations. Ours is on Afrofuturism... and during my preliminary research, I found that she was linked to it. And I also recognized them as part of the cast for Glass Onion -a movie I heavily recommend. A queer artist? I had to delve into her production. So I listened to her first studio album, The ArchAndroid. I really liked it, one of the tracks (which is a reversed bit from her first EP) led me to listen to The Chase and I immediately fell in love with it. The album is short (26:13) so I recommend giving it a full listen, but otherwise, you should at least check out the Violet Stars Happy Hunting!!!/Many Moons diptych.
Halo by Hoops: The album was supposed to be released in 2020 for the band's return, but questionable stuff happened ("questionable" as in "I don't want to delve into this but you're free to Google this") and they disbanded. So technically, the album is only available as a leak. I initially only heard They Say, but the whole album keeps this shoegazy, low-fi, vaporwave, chill music. I think I heard that song in a store about two years ago, but I only just (an hour before finally making this post) listened to its corresponding album, and it's a real treat.
The Gone Girl soundtrack by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross: It wouldn't be right if no soundtrack made the cut, now, would it? My immediate favorite aspect of the movie was its score. It's electronic, but in a chill way. The melodies are muffled, the constant parasite sounds contribute to the delicate eeriness of the atmosphere, and yet it's a delightful album I regularly come back to. The movie is naturally also a favorite of mine. Recommended: Sugar Storm, Empty Places, Just Like You, Background Noise, The Way He Looks At Me, Technically, Missing. You should actually listen to the whole album (or at least its first two thirds) as it works very cohesively, but I think the above pieces form the core of the album.
Back in Business by Eartha Kitt: For some people, Eartha Kitt was Catwoman (meow!). For other people, Eartha Kitt was Yzma - and that includes me. She actually had a song for The Emperor's New Groove, and it's a banger! So one day, I decided to give her discography a listen. Immediately enjoyed BiB. It's the kind of album you listen to in the evening, in the lounge of your spacious flat, as the window lets the summer air fill your place. I heavily recommend listening to Moon River, as well as maybe Speak Low if you want another track. But naturally, you can't discover Eartha Kitt without listening to *the* track that fueled everybody on the dancefloor, forty years ago.

Obi-Wan has been staring at Anakin lately. And from the emotions that have been accidentally bleeding into their shared mental bond, Anakin has been assuming it was negative.
When Obi-Wan walks in on Anakin changing, Anakin realizes this whole time it's been yearning and lust.
He's sick of Obi-Wan pretending, and decides to make his old Master face his feelings.

Drew one of my fave Buffy couples for the anniversary of the first BTVS episode!
Wanted to try them in the style of the animated series which was, sadly, never greenlit!
Buffy accidentally opened a lust potion and stole Spike's coat.
(Don't worry, he makes her sleep it off.)

Yeah, it's the Barbie meme
Dagan isn't worried, but this is an annoying stupid diversion 😒
Cal loves sticking it to the Empire, and his whole plan was to get caught 😃
For those who enjoyed my Tangled Disney style Anakin and Obi-Wan, here's a more complete character design page for each of them!
Cursing the fact they're both asymmetrical, but that's a problem for future Sage. 😅
I wanted to try drawing a quiet moment in Anakin's room...
I haven’t done anything this detailed in a while, and I wanted to try some different colouring styles...
Gwen Poole is tossed into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and now she's helping Bucky track down Baron Zemo for some reason…
When everyone's (second) favorite Marvel fourth wall breaker is shoved into a winterbaron fanfiction, will she figure it out?
Will she help them out, or screw it all up?
And most importantly, will she read the tags and ratings and narrate it for us?
