well, everybody bleeds @captaingondolin - Tumblr Blog

I really wanted to draw something but I couldn’t think what, so I just doodled Padawan friends folding laundry.

Shout out to Young Jedi Adventures which depicts younglings in the Tenoo temple doing this widely beloathed chore so we know that Jedi do in fact do common household things instead of leaving it for droids and only ever practicing saber techniques. I appreciate that.

obi-wan and anakin’s dynamic in attack of the clones is so incredibly believable for a 19 year old boy and his mentor who have spent the past 10 years together almost constantly. anakin is chafing under the authority and pushing boundaries because he’s a teenage boy and because he’s anakin and he desperately wants to prove himself to everyone, obi-wan included, and obi-wan is a safe person to rebel against because he’s anakin’s master and he’s always there. obi-wan is trying to assert that continuing authority because anakin is still in his care but he won’t be soon, and obi-wan is worried about him and worried about whether he’s been a good enough teacher. they love each other so much they have absolutely no choice but to fight about it.

I, personally, love fics/headcanons where Cody is so intensely pragmatic and level-headed that it takes literally bending over backwards to create interpersonal conflict with this man. Like yeah, sure, Obi-Wan’s maybe had three healthy emotions in his life but Cody, man— Of course Cody gets angry sometimes, and hurt, and upset, and sometimes has to walk away and think through his emotions, process them, but once he’s done with that, there’s absolutely nothing that will stop him from showing up in Obi-Wan’s doorway in the dead of the night and being like “What. the fuck?” And Cody’s spent years perfecting the stare, so you know he’s got Obi-Wan’s stammering through explanations like an out-of-line shiny before he can even register the fact that it’s well past 3am and Cody’s standing illuminated in his doorway like some sort of vengeful spirit of emotional intelligence. Cody’s absolutely the type to basically just scruff Obi-Wan whenever he tries to get away with saying some super vague and scampering away, and he’d just be like, “No, wait, explain that. Explain exactly what you meant by that.” Just— Cody just side-eyeing Obi-Wan until he stops using fancy words and says what exactly he means. Cody just cutting through every layer of Obi-Wan’s carefully practiced bullshit with the same efficiency that he goes about just about everything else in his life. This man is nothing but direct and does not have the time to play anyone else’s reindeer games

yes, yes, I see him like this too, and recently I’ve been obsessed with: how did he become like this? Kamino was not a place that nurtured that, I’d assume. I can imagine Cody working through his own internal shit with the same ruthless determination he’d use to decimate droids on the battlefield, and if he so much as suspects Obi-Wan is burying his head in the sand, he is incensed. “you fuckers even have mind healers and you’re telling me you can’t unbend the stick up your ass, when I had hack my way to the holonet just to download shitty self-help books when I was a cadet, because even then I knew I needed to get my head on straight? no. absolutely not. if you try to tell me you’re “fine” once more when you are in physical or psychological pain, I will find a way to assign you to latrine duty. don’t try me. general.”

and I imagine tiny cadet Cody holding it together and teaching himself hope. protecting his siblings, always. getting a reputation as the one who will always listen and never make fun of you.

and how did this child become so emotionally intelligent? was it chance? was it something - a fight, a vod lost, a conversation with a rare kindly trainer? with Boba, carelessly showing what it is to be loved? what made his tiny, efficient cadet brain go: “I will find a way to feel things, but not let it destroy me”?

also Cody will probably drop something like “I expect you to be in therapy and working through your many traumas when we move to a farm together after the war, and I will be doing the same” at some point when they aren’t even together yet and Obi-Wan’s brain goes offline for a few minutes because he thought he was keeping his feelings well under wrap! but no, Cody knows and is just not acting on them because they are busy now.

Star Wars is truly at its peak when the droids are practical and semi-shitty looking which is honestly just to say that I get an instant boost of serotonin when a gonk droid shows up

Look at this thing it sucks and I love it

I love that it’s purpose is somewhere between a battery and an extension cord

A big heavy power supply that has legs and the simplest possible droid brain for knowing where it’s needed because that’s canonically cheaper and easier than making a big heavy battery you have to move around yourself

while palpatine sucks as a guy, you do have to appreciate how his wardrobe went from esteemed galactic chancellor to backalley goblin overlord after only about 3 seconds of dictatorship

Cody loves plants and always finds himself taking photos of new ones he comes across on different planets. He has a little notebook that which he draws the different plants and flowers that he photographed and then writes notes about what he can find out about them next to it.

Obi wan notices this and the next time they're on corusant he takes him to the gardens in the jedi temple and watches as cody darts between the different plants and flowers, sketching all of the ones he hasn't before, and answering all of the questions cody throws his way that he can.

the thing about anakin's aotc courtship of padme is that at every stage he starts out by being extremely earnest and genuine about his feelings to which she gives him mixed signals. so then hes like: well i wonder if you'd be more into it if i got a *little* bit weirder about all this. and shes like, yea no i definitely am.
