#thinking he has a padawan

[tennessoui]

oh ho ho au where there’s been a brutal murder and all signs point towards anakin being guilty….but during the trial prep work, obi-wan, not on trial at all btw, confesses to the murder.

the prosecution knows he didn’t do it, but his dna is at the scene, there’s security photos of him close by the murder scene, there’s enough circumstantial evidence that it makes it incredibly hard to prove that he didn’t do it. there’s a ton of evidence to prove that anakin did it, but there’s also not a small amount of evidence that obi-wan did it which makes it really difficult

(anakin definitely definitely did it. but obi-wan feels an incredible amount of both guilt for the loss of life at the hands of a boy who he has vouched for so ardently in the past and also a fervent and insane devotion to anakin, and he can’t let him suffer for his crime when obi-wan could suffer for his crime instead <3 that’s the way things should be)

(anakin would snap out of his stunned stupor and tell the judge and jury that obi-wan is innocent and he’s the actual murderer, but like. it’s really hot. it’s like really hot that obi-wan’s going to give his freedom away so that anakin can live untroubled. no one’s ever loved him so much, not even the devoted wife of his sitting in the audience. this is different. this is everything. this is like. breathtaking.)

#Kit’s silly lil AUs #obikin #im imagining this in a gffa setting #the chancellor has been killed by anakin #but way before anyone thinks the chancellor is a bad guy #or corrupt #so it’s like a crime crime #and obi-wan is like no that’s my padawan if he learned how to (checks notes) brutalize a persons skull with a paper weight then #I taught him that #so he confesses and uses their training bond to pull all the details and story from anakins mind #without anyone knowing #anyway of course obi-wan is sentenced and anakin breaks him out and they go live amongst the stars #as fugitives #and it’s pretty easy to convince obi-wan into bed with anakin when they’re both fugitives #like he already gave his freedom up for his padawan #what’s his body compared to that? #what’s his heart?

When I was a bit older than you are now, I watched everything I knew burn.

#BUT NOW HE HAS SHIN!!!!!!!! #I don’t give a FUCK what y’all say #his expressions this whole scene #he had to have had a padawan. #HAD TO #the way he nodded at certain parts #the way he was smiling #it’s ALL giving me such a sentimental vibe #and not just for the Jedi #because he does tell shin he misses the idea of it later #but it just. it screams lost padawan to me #yes the Jedi and the values and people he knew all died #BUT JUST. A PADAWAN. IT MAKES SENSE. #IF HE DIDNT HAVE ONE I DONT THINK HED BE AS SENTIMENTAL???? #anyway losing it over this ep!!!!!! got the content I wanted!!!!!!! #ahsoka tv #ahsoka spoilers #baylan skoll #shin hati #also #as your local physical touch girl I am indeed losing my absolute mind about his hand on her shoulder #AND TEH GENERAL PROXIMITY #THEY WERE SO CLSOE TO EACH OTHER ALL EPSIXOE #AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH #im so awfully annoying about them I’m so sorry

there are of course thousands of fanfics where someone is rendered wildly OOC, often by becoming far too nice and good at expressing emotion, in order to seamlessly facilitate their transformation into the protagonist of a romance. but it's really really really funny when the person they do that to is mace windu.

#mace windu's like only canon character traits are 'stern and traditionalist' 'cares about his padawan' and 'is samuel l jackson' #which is fine. but when you then try to assert‚ from his pov‚ #with ZERO justification or lead in #that he has been pining over obi-wan kenobi for years. and thinks padme is super cool and refers to her by her first name. #i just think you might need to do some lead-in here. give us something to work with. #extra funny because usually mace windu fans who do this kind of thing are also all in on how he Sees Shatterpoints Everywhere #i think ive complaind about this before but shatterpoints are fucking stupid and i refuse to acknowledge them #anyway apparently this specific author agrees with me because they alone of all the mace windu pov authors ive read #was like. ''Mace's talents lay more in combat. And‚ of course‚ the Shatterpoints.'' and has not brought them up even once since then #which is hilarious. to me only. #box opener

I just finished padawan by kiersten white and had a blast with it -- it was exactly the kind of thing my brain craved this week, just some nice character study and adventure story stuff for my brain to chill in. thoughts:

a) I love obi-wan and his poor anxiety-ridden teenage self so so much. peak a delight to have in class to the point of nervous break representation, someone help him. local boy manages to become parentified child to an absent father somehow. that part where he's so afraid he's so bad and useless that the force itself might just decide it doesn't want him after all........ heartbreaking. that's exactly what I would have thought at sixteen too probably. (also my personal headcanon has always been that obi-wan is on the ace spectrum, so that was a very nice thing to find supported in this book! canon is vast and can support any number of stances that way honestly everyone should go hog wild with it in whatever manner they please, but that's always been my vibe)

b) qui-gon fucking jinn if you don't step up and do something to help the child in your charge with his ACTUAL DEBILITATING ANXIETY DISORDER RUNNING HIM RAGGED other than ask him to meditate so help me I will come over there and do maul's work for him ahead of time I swear to fucking god

c) no, really, it says some not very good things about qui-gon's mentorship abilities that obi-wan really only manages to grow and be calmer when he's outside of his influence. I know this book means you to come away with the feeling that obi-wan takes a big step towards enlightenment and adulthood on this trip (and I do think that's also true to be clear!), but there is a part of me that also thinks that just as much as personal and spiritual development what we're seeing here is an avoidant attachment style definitively entrenching itself as a result of having no adult that can be consistently trusted to meet him emotionally. (which also makes a horrible kind of sense, thinking about what obi-wan and anakin's relationship is going to be like in the future -- obi-wan is avoidant and self-contained when it comes to trying to deal with his emotions, and anakin skews far more anxious and towards lashing out, and they never quite understand each other for all the love that is there. you can trace that all the way back here. sins of the master, huh.) obi-wan finds some agency and catharsis in being able to help a group of abandoned children, you say. hm. I'm sure this means nothing and has no parallels in his own inner world. you let the kid think you'd completely abandoned him instead of communicating with him openly for like five minutes. For His Own Good of course. Wow I didn't realize I was this angry about this but here I am once again livid on obi-wan's behalf, actually. 'I'm an incredible teacher and this lack of honest emotional communication I'm fostering in favour of (benign!) manipulation is never going to come back and bite the jedi order in the ass, surely'; the qui-gon jinn story

#as someone who has been asked to meditate to cure mental illness since I was like twelve: obi-wan should be allowed to kill. murder even #star wars #padawan 2022 #obi wan kenobi #I may of course be doing some projecting here but knowing how it turns out..... I don't think I'm entirely off base either #I uh. I wonder a little bit at how the jedi actually approach mental health in general because obi wan is A Mess in this #and no one fuckign seems to notice or care b/c he's obsessive about not making it anyone else's problem lmao #he's been allowed to develop crippling eldest daughter syndrome among a bunch of enlightened force sensitives #there is so clearly a lot of warmth and wonderful things in the jedi temple don't get me wrong at all! but uh. #they've clearly got some weak spots that will also be there by the time it's anakin's turn with the generational trauma lol #star wars meta

[aweisz]

yay a lineage of jedi ocs

some fun facts:

makosh adopted everyone in the order

axan has half of the mental illnesses but she's super chill abt them no worries ;)

linnal has a tattoo that's the space equivalent of memento mori in a gothic font

#please don't ask me where i got the names you don't want to know #i wanted to write that the fact about linnal is that he would get fucked in the ass every day but he's got weak joints :( #makosh has a lot. like a Lot of padawans so maybe i'll make more ocs #anyways #jedi oc #star wars #tag for ocs #← i'm not tagging them separately and i can't think of anything creative #ok i am tagging them separately #oc: linnal #oc: axan #oc: makosh #aweisz art

when people think anakin wouldnt have turned to the dark side if qui-gon trained him im just ?????

YOU THINK THAT WOULD HAVE STOPPED PALPATINE???

i mean qui-gon took anakin to be trained cause he thinks anakin is the chosen one or this is at least a major reason why and like??? PALPATINE WOULD HAVE JUST PIVOTED LIKE

"it's such a shame my boy that the council and even your master only see you as the chosen one and not your own person"

"i hope that they trust you as a jedi and not just part of a prophecy"

"i fear that qui gon only wants you as the chosen one and if you weren't, you would never have left tatooine"

LIKE PALPATINE WOULD HAVE DONE THAT! HE ENGINEERED A WHOLE WAR JUST TO TAKE POWER AND QUI-GON BECOMING ANAKIN'S MASTER WOULD HAVE DESTROYED PALPATINE'S PLANS???

idk just gets on my nerves and feels like a slight against obi-wan who yeah wasn't perfect and the circumstances for becoming anakin's master weren't ideal but i think he was a great master and this idea also makes palpatine seem far less manipulative, cunning, and evil

the man once said he would gladly make vader again given the chance, even knowing how it would eventually end, so he's not stopping just because anakin has a different master

#sheev palpatine #emperor palpatine #anakin skywalker #qui gon jinn #star wars #just gets on my nerves #sorry to everybody who has watched me like anakin turn to the dark side #the dark side is becoming obsessed with star wars #i have not been this obsessed with something or a character my god i love anakin but yeah not since voltron #so that's saying a lot #also from what i know about the jedi apprentice series and extended universe legends stuff about qui gon #dude does not have the best track record with padawans #he is very unorthodox and yes does not end up like the rest of the order in that like vein of being an arm of the senate or you know #being so involved in politics even tho they're peacekeepers and a religious order basically #but i think the whole chosen one thing would be much more present and constant in anakin's life #with anakin being fed both like #the in canon youre super powerful omg such a great jedi #thing from palpatine but also yeah oh they probably dont like you or trust you which is canon too except for you're their chosen one #youd probably still be a slave oops sorry but yeah you probably would be #and anakin is mentally ill enough already that palpatine taking a slightly different approach wouldn't really change much #same results different method #now... the obikin fic ideas i can come up with with qui gon being anakin's master and how all that happens #now those are fascinating

1000% true reason Ezra's hair got short for s3 is bc Chopper Base is a warmer climate than Lothal and Ezra's got that nice thick hair yknow so time to give himself an edgy teen undercut (or whatever emo vibe he's going for that reduces hair on his head) to get his scalp to breathe. and so he has sabine come do it. but sabine is a perfectionist and, more importnatly, an older sibling. so she messes up once and goes "fuck" and then shaves him bald and tells him to come back in 6 months to try again

#its true sabine told me herself #... tho i do suppose... if. #IF. #if you want the angsty route. #perhaps ezra had a little padawan braid tucked in his nice full head of hair. and perhaps. #perhaps one day when kanan has withdrawn inside himself--cutting himself off from the force and his family and his padawan. his KID. #perhaps when the sith holocron has gotten its wrap around ezra. #perhaps that day he gets so ANGRY. he takes his saber to his braid. #and he regrets it instantly. #guilt gets him so hard and so fast that he impulsively pcks up the cut and continues #and his head is all shaggy and he just sits in his room and cant bear to THINK about hmslf. much less look at what he has just done w hmslf #so he slides into sabines room in the middle of the night. and neither of them say anything. but she evens out his hair and lets him go #and the next morning nobody breathes a word to him about it. #and nobody knows what to say to kanan. so they just... don't. #ANYWAY YEA #okay bye #ezra bridger #sabine wren #star wars: rebels #jokeposting xoxo #or am i....

Padwan by Kristen White is dragging me by my collar back to my Obi-Wan era I'm afraid

#yael is reading star wars #padawan #he was my fav when i first watched the prequels #like you know #a few months ago #but fr it's so good!!! #this and watching tpm last week and reading (listening to) the tpm novelization this week has me thinking a lot about padawan obi-wan #the guy ever

[rovermcfly]

in ql canon sam beckett got actor scott bakula's signature mallen streak as a result of leaping

what if marty mcfly gets one from time travelling

#I am building a marty mcfly that is so specific to me personally #musical marty already has big thighs‚ tits‚ a mullet and an earring so I think it's time he got a mallen streak too #just you wait til I find a way to somehow explain why he'd have a padawan braid #marty mcfly #bttf #bttf musical #quantum leap

Padawan!Nathan, is that a thing?

😔 no, I know in my heart of hearts Nathan would grow up to be an outer-rim smuggler. Han Solo ass mf

#star wars was my hyperfixation for years before cyberpunk came out and it's always still lowkey there #i think Nathan would be adorable as a jedi padawan #but realistically he would neither be born in republic space or be raised as anything other than a criminal #not with the parents he has #maybe he's a little force sensitive as a treat though #i need to tag this so i can find it later if i decide it's too unhinged to keep posted #ummm #Nathan vibes #sure

how are my throat fic darlings doing? are Palpatine and Yoda both experiencing sudden Very Bad Feelings? do Obi-Wan and Anakin kill Dooku together on date night?

anakin slinks back into their house at least once a month with a dead sith in his mouth like a very deadly house cat who has a very honed killing instinct.

obi-wan is disappointed with him each time. he knew he shouldn’t have carefully pushed anakin into killing Palpatine and then rewarded him through joy and also sex. now anakin thinks if he just finds the right person to kill again he will get more obi-wan flavored joy and also sex. obi-wan tries to train him into being an indoor cat for a few weeks but it’s way too exhausting. too much sex. better to just release him into the wild and deal with all the bloody footprints he tracks back….so long as he keeps it all under his radar so the Jedi don’t find them

meanwhile the Jedi absolutely know where they are. like. yeah. probably down to the exact apartment address. they’re just spending a really long time debating whether or not they should go in and check on them. all signs point to attempted murder of the Jedi who is foolish enough to knock on their door but also can they be really sure that obi-wan is there of his own free will?? but on the other hand, obi-wan did leave the order to find anakin after being expressly told not to so is it really their business?? and he’s always been weird about his master so like. signs point to him being there because there’s nowhere else in the galaxy he’d rather be. and on top of that, no matter how grudgingly, anakin sort of did save all the Jedi so like. do they let him keep operating like business as usual because of that? and he’s cleaning up all the sith in the galaxy! they can’t really understand why but…why interfere?

#asks #squick tag: a/b/o dynamics #throat fic au #obikin #it’d be interesting to see obi-wan pulled into actually taking part in a murder #I think he’s capable of it #but I think circumstances would have to be carefully planned #and stacked against him #meanwhile #of course #there’s nothing vader would carefully plan more than something that has to do with his padawan

hold on hold on im

#☼.txt #ocs #immaterial tag #like #cause the whole xaris carmiya conflict is partially based around xaris not knowing WHY she wanted him #why she's training him. what FOR what is it ALL for. & why shut his parents out? #its why he wants to leave. #so then taking that & shifting it to an ACTUAL master/padawan relationship between the two of them #in an ACTUAL temple scene #where carmiya's hand is officially forced to let him graduate bc um. babes he has BEEN ready for knighthood #you cant keep him a child at your side forever you cant do this to him. #& then when he's finally given that . idk freedom of knighthood to go on his own missions to BE free of his RESTRICTING master #they drop a padawan in his lap #i do think (?) he would have to be open to lissa or smthn but i do think xaris WOULD be extremely annoyed about it #xaris IS an overachiever. heWANTS to be better than everyone (HE IS) but he'll do anything to step on someones toes about it too #so if THIS gets him the opportunity to :) then he'll do it. he wont be HAPPY about it #i AM rambling #but all this to say i ABSOLUTELY agree with the idea that he & lissa's relationship would start out standoffish (mainly from xaris's end) #but i ALSO think lissa would not make it any better bc she KNOWS when she's not wanted & she's not necessarily someone #who will try to make you like her or want her. she's not a pleaser. she will simply be. she will stare at you until uncomfortable as u are #back down. she is her father's daughter PLEASE.

Why Palpatine LOVED Anakin’s Mechanical Arm

In the novelization of ROTS Dooku said to Sidious how he was disgusted by Anakin´s mechanical arm, he was revolted at the idea of recruiting an ally who wasn´t entirely human, comparing Anakin to general Grievous. To Dooku´s surprise Sidious replied that Anakin´s mechanical arm was exactly what made him the perfect man for their plans. He saw Anakin´s arm as a permanent symbol of the sacrifices he had to make for peace and justice. That arm was a badge of heroism that Anakin had to publicy wear for the rest of his life, forcing everyone to look at him and see his honor, courage and integrity. Sidious said that Anakin was perfect just the way he was.

#starwars #anakin skywalker #palpatine #On the one side Palpatine has been preparing for years to make Anakin fall to the darkside and destroy his life on the other he´s genuinely #An Anakin stan who actually likes him and respected him losing his arm defending Obi-Wan from Dooku #it´s Sidious dichotomy how he actually respects and likes Padme and Anakin even while designing their tragic end #I guess there´s something to be said about how Dooku/ Obi-Wan see Anakin losing parts of himself as him losing his humanity and become more #like a droid #Anakin and Vader himself think of themselves as less because of this but they don´t allow it to stop them doing their missions #because he´s at the end a practical man who´s also a survivor despite himself #Lucas does link the act of "losing an arm/legs with punishment for falling but Sidious interpretation is sound in this case #Anakin lost his #arm defending his master #which was an heroic act given he was just a padawan at the time dueling a seasoned Jedi master #quite introspective for a Sith but then again Palpatine would not have become a great adversary if he wasn´t able to read people acurately #This is by far his most scary power #the hability to read and understand others even if he himself hardly feels something for anybody else with a few exceptions #Youtube #count dooku #darth vader #emperor palpatine

I saw a post mentioning Ahsoka was originally assigned to Obi-Wan and I’m like ??? Like, yes Obi-Wan asked for a new padawan but the first thing Ahsoka says as she arrives is that she was assigned to Anakin

Edit: if you don’t want to read the tags: I rewatched the scenes from the movies and it’s said several times she was assigned to Anakin by Yoda himself and at the end it’s implied Obi-Wan helped. She was never assigned to Obi-Wan.

#I can't claim that it wasn't a mistake from the order (I think that's what Obi-Wan or Anakin say at one point #but I can't recall if they did) #and there are at least two other possible interpretations that are: #that Obi-Wan says he asked for a padawan but it was a ruse to assign one to Anakin #or that even if Obi-Wan asked for a padawan Yoda assigned her to Anakin anyways #And I think that the movie says something like Obi-Wan will take over her training once Anakin decides he doesn't want a padawan #before he changes his mind and takes her #like I get it you like the Obi-Wan & Ahsoka dynamics #You like to think they were actually much closer than what we see in canon #or you don't like Anakin as a character and so you push him aside at any chance you get #but going from that to affirm she was originally assigned to Obi-Wan hun I think you're projecting your hc #REWATCHED THE SCENE JUST NOW #And Anakin is the one that says it must have been a mistake because he didn't want a padawan #Ahsoka insists Yoda assigned her to ANAKIN #(also Obi-Wan has been pestering Anakin about becoming a teacher) #AND THEN after Anakin accepts Ahsoka and they meet with Obi-Wan and Yoda #Yoda says that Obi-Wan was telling him about Anakin having trouble with his new padawan #So yup I think we can discard the mistake option from above #Yoda assigned her to Anakin and Anakin only #and suggested reassigning her to Obi-Wan when he heard that Anakin was hesitating #And after that is all said and done Obi-Wan teases Anakin about teaching her (Teach her everything I taught you) #And Anakin says something makes me think this was YOUR idea from the start #so the scene implies Obi-Wan requested the padawan for Anakin but it's never confirmed #so yeah she was never assigned to Obi-Wan to begin with #play with your aus all you want but don't sell it as if it were actually canon #fandom salt #personal

#watched aotc for the first time since listening to Jedi lost #and in between all the padme and Anakin stuff #it was just like oh god oh no oh sifo oh dooku #oh sifo did thatttt #oh thats… that’s sifo+dooku’s fault also #some of the reactions yoda has to things #it’s like oh god it would make so much sense (and hurt so bad) if he were thinking about dooku and sifo #I think there was also a moment of this in tpm which I also rewatched #yeah when Obi-Wan and yoda were talking about Obi-Wan taking Anakin as his padawan #Obi-Wan said something about the prophecy and yoda’s face went through so many emotions #anyway #if you haven’t listened to dooku Jedi list ***do itttt*** #star wars #star wars attack of the clones #attack of the clones #AoTC #dooku jedi lost #sifo dyas #count dooku #dooku #yoda #master yoda #the phantom menace #oenimo talks

[symphoniesoutofsilence]

A rainy day thought because I’m hurricaned in at my university:

An unexpectedly powerful storm sweeps in very shortly after Obi-Wan takes Anakin as his padawan and cancels most of the Temple classes and activities for the next day. Little Ani is absolutely amazed by the storm and is in Obi-Wan’s room the next morning not long after dawn insisting on going out and seeing the rain in all its glory. Obi-Wan, however, is twenty-five and exhausted and Jedi compassion or not, it’s way too early and he’s entirely too comfy to be walking around in the freezing rain because Anakin wants to, so he tells him no--and no, he can’t go alone, stay in the apartment--before rolling over and going back to sleep.

An indeterminable (but undoubtedly too short) amount of time later, Obi-Wan wakes to the sound of rain much closer than before and he realizes that even under the covers, he’s almost unbearably chilly.

He groans and sits up to ready himself for whatever mischief Anakin caused, but he doesn’t have to look far; on the opposite side of his still-dim room, right in front of the window (which is now hanging wide open), is his absolutely drenched padawan, fast asleep on the floor in an ever-growing puddle.

#star wars #star wars prequels #star wars headcanons #anakin skywalker #obi wan kenobi #padawan anakin #obi wan and anakin #this idea came to me in a flash of light #anakin is good at just straight up ignoring rules but i also like to think that he's amazing at finding loopholes too #again cannot decide if this is humorous fluff or angst that leaves your chest feeling empty #either way anakin totally catches a cold and obi has to nurse him back to health
