Over the Garden Wall + Overturned Half-Moon

Hot take: Obi-Wan Kenobi was the chosen one

He was brought to the temple much later than most. The average age is six months but obi-wan was not brought in until he was a full three years old. (The more I see where his life mirrors Anakin’s but his decisions are opposite makes me very happy)

He was apprenticed to qui-gon through luck (will of the force I guess) after being sent away from the Jedi order.

We were given multiple examples of him being tempted, but never taking them (a wonderfully opposite retelling of Anakin, pretty much). Siri Tachi and Duchess Satine come to mind (no, he didn’t leave the order, no matter what he says he might have done)

His anger that he learned to control and never bowed to (again another lovely opposite from Anakin’s story)

The first being to defeat a sith in a thousand years

He became a very young master and then one of the order’s youngest council members, if not the youngest (while holding the rank of master. Take a seat, young skywalker)

His force-given gift of having the order’s silver tongue. Do we really think he got that from Qui-Gon “looks like a bantha smells like a rodian” Jinn? Nope. Nobody could smooth talk like Obi-Wan Kenobi

His sheer talent in ataru as a padawan and then being able to switch from that to become the actual master of soresu (literally mace windu calls him the master of the classic form)

Look at how powerful he is when using the force. He has been hailed as one of the most powerful Jedi but he had a pretty low midichlorian count for a Jedi. According to wookiepedia, the absolute minimum amount to become a Jedi was having a 7000 midichlorian count, which was obi-wan’s count. (The average was 10,000)

He reached a state with the force that only one or two others had ever reached, where he was so intune and devoted to the force, he essentially became a favorite of the force

Look at his battle with Anakin. There is no way he should have been able to beat the “chosen one” hopped up on dark force energy and absolutely out of his mind. No way. But he did.

In Revenge of the Sith, Yoda even goes as far as to say that they may have misinterpreted the prophecy of the chosen one.

For everyone asking, I will stand by this post until the day I die

Don't forget that he's a brilliant pilot even if he hates flying. And lets not forget what actually happened that time on Cato Nemoidia:

After the rescue of the chancellor, Obi-Wan refutes Anakin's gloating of saving his life for the 10th time. ANAKIN: All right. But you ow

Anakin had his rebreather in his mouth as he approached the room in which Obi-Wan had held his own against better than fifty droids, all of which lay scattered about the room. A weaving, shuffling, staggering Obi-Wan was dealing with the last of them when Anakin entered. When the final droid collapsed, Obi-Wan aimed the blade of his lightsaber casually toward the floor and stood swaying in place, breathing hard but almost grinning.

"Anakin," he said happily. "How are you?" When Anakin went to him, Obi-Wan promptly collapsed in his arms. Anakin deactivated Obi-Wan's blade and inserted a rebreather into his mouth - - the same one that had ended up on the floor of the grotto.

He took out over fifty droids by himself while basically high as a kite. Plus he decided to just casually leap down in the middle of an army on Utapau. By himself.

In The Clone Wars, he used the Force to push a member of Death Watch up against a building and cracked the building.

I give you Obi-Wan "The Chosen One" Kenobi

can’t believe texas is writing their own handmaid tale’s narrative. they literally just signed a law where you can report women (they’re literally offering CASH BOUNTIES) for having an abortion

the most important thing they don't tell you about being gay is that as soon as you have any creative control over your appearance you will start dressing like one or more of the muppets

Hey, it’s Hershey. We already got our first exciting fan letter! Let’s see what it says

It’s from Forrest. Hi, Forrest! You suggested that we should delete our account on July 17th, 2021.

Well Forrest, I have a suggestion for you. On July 17th, 2021, I suggest you start running.

So you want to get into non-English language musicals?

So back in January of this year I was on the tail-end of one of my worst depressive episodes of my life and a German friend of mine (that’s you @gaymelie this labour is all your fault) and myself got talking about what music we were listening to and I mentioned I was listening to Six the Musical and found out she also liked musicals and what with her being German and all, she recommended me a few German musicals:

And I loved them.

Getting into musicals that aren’t in a language you understand can be daunting, but the thing is other countries are actually way better at making pro-shots / officially recorded musicals then the UK or America. You can buy Blu-Rays of recent German stage musicals, DVDs of most French musicals and Japanese musicals. I myself have a DVD of a Dutch stage musical from 2003. Most official DVD releases of musicals have English subtitles, but some of my favourite musicals like Tanz Der Vampire and Rebecca have no official video recording and so the only way to be able to understand it if you don’t speak German, is to rely on dedicated fans who make English subtitles. Where possible I’m going to provide links to where to listen (Spotify or Youtube) and where to watch (Youtube). Sticking with just Spotify and Youtube because most people have access to one or both of them.

This post is going to get a little long, so the list will be under the ‘read more’. They’ll be listed alphabetically and I will try and keep my summaries of them unbiased, but will mention which ones are my personal favourites. For some musicals there are different versions in different languages, and you may think oh well that’s just the same musical again, but that’s not always the case. A lot of the times musicals get non-replica productions meaning that the costumes and sets are different, sometimes entire songs are taken out or added, sometimes minor characters are changed to more be more major characters and so on.

(Also because of linking to Youtube and Spotify, Tumblr is likely going to block this post from showing up in tags so I would appreciate all the reblogs this can get. ❤️ Also because I worked for two whole days on this, it’s over 10,000 words long and Tumblr crashed and deleted half of it and I had to write it all out again.) And of course any can add their own recommendations in their reblogs. There are a lot more I know of, but I tried not to make this list too long. In a while I can always make a part 2 if this post does well.

There’s 32 musicals on this list. I tried to make sure they weren’t all German so there’s: German, French, Hungarian, Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Italian and Spanish. So, lets begin:

Moses, hear what I say. I have been a slave all my life, and God has never answered my prayers until now. God saved you from the river, He saved you in all your wanderings… and even now, He saves you from the wrath of Pharaoh. God will not abandon you. So, don’t you abandon us.

Aaaah, a movie from before media villified Christianity.

I think that the media representation of Christianity made me an agnostic and i fully blame modern media for that.

I just want to be in the wilderness and feel God and feel at peace, and I want to go to pre-medieval Christian temples without feeling like I’m doing something ridiculous.
