2022 OBI-WAN KENOBI APPRECIATION WEEK

DAY 4: FAVORITE RELATIONSHIP - OBI-WAN & ANAKIN AKA “THEM”

[coffebits]

You drive, I shoot! 😌✊

[apophenia]

temuera was given a blaster and asked to fight rey (didn’t got the chance to record that) but then he asked rey for her lightsaber and it was freaking great

[ineffableteeth]

I love them 🧡

[rexsfemalehusband]

i think the only kind of codywan i find realistic enough to be interested in is GLACIAL slow burn. they take like three weeks to fit together like cogs made to turn each other and they spend the rest of the three years of the war so instinctually and comfortably in each others space that they forget they haven’t known each other for their entire lives. they act beyond like a married couple and neither one of them ever notices it whatsoever. everyone but them can see it.

obi wan calls cody dear all the time, is always getting him new foods and drinks to try, and even teaches him how to perform basic lightsaber moves since he ends up with the thing so often and might as well know how to use it if the need ever arises, and and neither of them thinks a thing of it. cody mentally catalogues and ranks all of obi wans favorite teas and how to make them, comes to be able to tell when obi wan needs food or rest or a medic and knows just what to say to get him to attend to it, and gets that godforsaken lightsaber clip on his belt and its just another day for them. and when people see all of this and point out that evidence is adding up to either one of them they both are completely genuine when they say, i have no idea what you’re talking about. no one else is doing these things with their general or marshal commander? laughable idea.

i think they would need that post war break in some form whether it follows order 66 or its an AU where it somehow is averted. i think they would need to be faced with the idea of living lives much further removed from each other to finally see it for themselves. and of course for so many reasons both of them would just bury it deep down in the absolute recesses of their heart and mind because it doesn’t matter, and it never has. and they would need to be literally forced back together to be able to address it. and things would have to be different. but once they do address it, it’s like… there’s no real nervousness. there’s hesitance, because once it’s said it can’t be unsaid, but. it’s just putting words to something that’s already there, that’s been there since the beginning. it just feels natural, not even like a next step, just… how it’s supposed to be. with each of them by the other’s side, whatever may come.

and i think it would work because i think they both truly would hold the other to their obligations and responsibilities. they love each other but they’re both level headed, especially with each other, so it follows that they are about each other, too. in the same way that it always had to be that anakin and padme would break the rules and put each other first when they shouldn’t and it causes problems, obi wan and cody both know that the other would be so irreversibly shattered and disappointed to be put over the greater good that they both keep their heads. their relationship is built on understanding and mutual respect for the way the other is committed to all those around them. there’s no jealousy, no possessiveness, no need to prove anything or have anything proven to them, because they’ve always come back to each other before and they always will if it’s right

[agoddamn]

I still want to write the fic where an outsider has all these preconceptions about what the Force is and then goes into a room with a bunch of Jedi who are tearing into each other like bitchy old academics.

“Ooh, look at Master Structuralist over here with his ever-so-deep ‘everything is attachment actually’ reading”

“I don’t want to hear that from someone who calls every new opinion ‘new depths of their relationship with the Force’”

“The Jedi Order is a social construct–”

“Could you stuff the po-mo and pick up a book once in a while? These aren’t new ideas! You are not a pioneer because you asked one question!”

“I think you could all benefit on more reflection on how our rooting in the Force is actually deeply sexual–”

“If I have to hear one more word about lightsabers being penis envy you are going to be one with the Force immediately.”

[gershwyndl]

#I’m 100% into this and want annual conferences about the force and what it means to be a jedi#everyone keep asking very passive-aggressive questions after every presentations#at one point a lecturer says ‘I know this because the Force told me so’ instead of listing their sources and the whole room groans#a scholar who isn’t force-sensitive shows up and half of the jedi are like ‘who even is this guy’#a LOT of rage is being released in the force at the same time#the only moment everyone in the room makes an appreciative noise is when the lunch break is announced#a huge debate blows up during the break because someone mentions it could be good to invite a nightsister next year#someone storms off mumbling about heresy and not taking part in this debacle @obiwanobi

yes please I need more jedi symposiums with knights who had different views than consulars who have different views than shadows. Temple-centered jedi versus those who lead frequent diplomatic or medical missions versus exploratory and research jedi who spend most of their time in uninhabited wild space and the outer rim.

There is absolutely no way an organization that large doesn’t have factions that understand the force differently–my 15-person philosophy class couldn’t agree on a single thing we read all term.

[korben600]

Anakin shows up once, pulls up his PowerPoint and it just says “I am the Chosen One.”

The room immediately turns into chaos.

[maulusque]

dear god why would you leave this in the tags

#Obi wan was pissed that his past presentation on Jedi/Mandalorian cultural parallelism was laughed out#so he put Anakin up to it just to send the room into a tailspin#Anakin LOVED it#he got to sword fight an eighty year old snake#and force chuck a dude into a wall#he officially never misses one of these anymore#every year he just goes up and says the most controversial thing he can to get the room to riot#the year after its ‘the more midichlorians you have the closer you are to the force’#he almost got stabbed by an old monk from the far side of dantooine#for that one#the council keeps letting him speak because it’s way less embarrassing to blame the fights on Skywalker#than admit everyone at an academic conference wants to murder each other#they did get a Nightsister to come to the conference btw#it was very enlightening and everyone liked her#the problem was that Anakin’s presentation that year was#‘master/student bonds are no different than lovers bonds in the force’#and#the Nightsister took REAL offense to that#Anakin is like 30% sure he got cursed#totally worth it for the look on Obi-Wan’s face tho#the Nightsister came back the next year#she brought friends!#they’re not sure if she did that because they were interested in the academics or if she wanted backup to beat the shit out of Anakin#but the council likes both cases#so they see this as an absolute win!

Yoda was banned and no one will talk about why

[willowcrowned]

It happened six hundred years ago so no one knows but theories range from “he ate all the snacks” to “he personally instigated a duel meant to settle whether channeling the force through combat meditation is more effective than through regular meditation but the duel got out of hand and everyone but him lost at least one limb”

the truth is that he was never actually banned, he’s just been saying it so he doesn’t have to go. he started all the rumors himself

[nightmareglitter]

The conference has a no murders, attempted murders or arrests on the behalf of the Republic clause, specifically because of the number of Jedi trying to arrest other Jedi for disagreeing with their theories.

Dooku take advantage of the facts that you are not required to be a Jedi to attend, for his first 10 years post-Order, and the fact that they can’t legally arrest him for the next three.

Anakin is 14 the first time the Nightsister is invited, and is only doing this presentation for the video of Obi-Wan’s face, so that he can bribe Quinlan into giving him speeder parts with it.

Mace loves it, because it’s the one time of year he gets to see Skywalker cause everybody but him a headache.

“I know this because the Force told me so” was Qui-Gon, who uses this as his regular excuse for everything, in this case, as an excuse to be a little shit-stirrer.

[elenorasweet]

People have been trying to bribe the story of Yoda’s ban from Masters Yaddle and T'ra Saa for literal centuries. They’ve profited so much from this disaster. They fucking love it. Every century or so they let slip some new made-up detail to stoke the fire.

love island should introduce a "scheming eunuch" islander who is like a smart and completely asexual islander exempt from being kicked off or being made to participate in any challenges and they're just there to provide advice and be a sort of sounding board for the other islanders when they need a disinterested party to talk things through with. but the scheming eunuch has secret goals unbeknownst to anyone e.g. a cash prize for talking a certain couple into breaking up etc.

Divide the World They Made ~ Chapter 2

So I went ahead and wrote Cody's POV, because I'm rubbish at leaving things alone.

Read the chapter here

Excerpt: Padmé Amidala is far more reasonable than a woman divorcing a man like Anakin Skywalker should be. At least, she is in Cody's personal opinion. Professionally he can't tell her that he thinks her very soon to be ex-husband is an unmitigated asshole with no redeeming qualities. But he can think it. The fact of the matter is, Skywalker's lack of representation is only going to bite him in the ass given his attitude. Ferus Olin may never be as good as Cody, because Cody is the best, but he knew when to tell his client to shut up and back off. Cody has had enough clients like Skywalker to know that is what got Ferus fired. Cody's reputation protects him from such incidents these days - if they want him, they pay big money, shut up, and do as he advises - and if he detects even a hint that his client is going to be like Skywalker has, he cuts them loose. Cody is well known in his field. If he drops a client others notice and it makes them wary too.

Hot Take:  The “Jedi Code” isn’t about the Jedi themselves, it’s about the Force.

There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force. When a Force-sensitive connects to the Force without the noise in their own heads coloring it, this is what they sense–peace, knowledge, serenity, harmony, the Force. It’s not a life motto to live by (it is used as a meditation mantra in the canon, though), but instead A DESCRIPTION OF THE FORCE.

[gffa]

TO EXPAND FURTHER, the reason I like this is because it fits with two really interesting things about how this mantra is used in the canon: - In canon, it’s pretty much always used when someone is trying to reach the Force, whether to feel it more clearly or to calm themselves down, a mantra that’s basically “here’s what the Force is” is a way of helping to pull the noise out of your own head. Further, that is how the Force works, that it’s based on mindset and motivation, the light side is about approaching it from a mentally stable place, through compassion, selflessness and joy, the dark side is about connecting to it through the downward sucking spiral of greed, selfishness, and suffering, through pain and anger and hate and rage. The Force itself isn’t inherently these things, the Force is peace, knowledge, serenity, and harmony.  Do your best to not confuse what the Force is trying to say with what you are bringing to it. - This is why it also fits with the other version:

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet the Force. Because the Force, sometimes, is a paradox, in that the emotions that are soaked into it by every living being in the galaxy (as every living thing is part of the Force), it does have emotion, it does have ignorance, it does have passion, it does have chaos, it does have death. The two different versions of the mantra–and the riddle that they make when combined, because the Jedi Order taught both versions to their children–are about the riddle of the Force itself and what it means to reach out to this tremendous field of energy and psychic web, given that you’re reaching out with your feelings, you’re reaching out based on where your own mindset is coming from. It’s about how you affect the Force and the Force affects you, it’s a description of what you’ll find when you open your mind and heart to the Force.
