Obitine Week Day 7

Here's my modest contribution to Obitine Week! I wish I had had more time to contribute sooner (and something less dark for one of the other days...), but sadly, life got in the way as it often does.

Please leave me kudos and comments if you feel it deserves it <3

Summary:

"So it was real, all of it. Satine was gone. She would never slap him, never kiss him, never smile at him again. He would never get another chance to hold her tiny waist between his hands. She had stopped breathing the same air as he did, and none of this talk would change that. Satine would also not live to witness the destruction of her world. Maybe it was for the best, all things considered; she had sacrificed so much to make her planet a place where her people would thrive and be at peace… As much as he had criticized her naive idealism, he had always admired her tenacity. In the pursuit of her beliefs, Satine had always been fearless, stubbornly so." Satine has just died, murdered by Maul. Obi-Wan now has to face his feelings and go on despite his pain. That's what Satine would want for him. For Obitine week 2026 - Day 7 - Free Day

Notes:

I'm so sorry for what I'm about to put you through, especially since most of the fics posted for Obitine week 2026 were very lighthearted in comparison! I don't know what to say, except that I listened to "Hurts like hell" by Fleurie & Tommee Profitt one day, and with it came flashes of Obi-Wan sitting on the ship that brought him back to Coruscant and crying over Satine. The rest just flowed... And it happened to be right on schedule for Obitine Week, so here I am, hopefully ruining your day with all this angst :)

I do think it’s really interesting that all the people who are anti-Jedi on the grounds that they shouldn’t have joined the clone wars and failed in their duties as peacekeepers by becoming soldiers, etcétera, also tend to be strongly anti-Satine? Like. That’s Literally Satine Kryze’s stance on Jedi involvement in the war! The narrative even treats her as if she maybe has a little bit of a point sometimes! Why are you saying she’s an evil genocidal dictator? You AGREE with her!

[songspirits]

hello. it is i, george lucas, breaking my silence on korkie

ALL of the theories are true. ALL of them. obitine son, obi-wan son just obi-wan force baby magical, korkie just appeared on satine’s doorstep by will of the force, the force told satine she is going to be given a nephew out of thin air, satine son.

yes all of them are true

what the actual fuck anakin lol

[phoenixyfriend]

"I want to interpret Satine to be doing cultural genocide because it makes her more interesting to be a villain" why isn't pacifism interesting

Why do you, a person living in an increasingly militarized world suffused by propaganda for the defense industry, think pacifism is boring?

Also, why is a woman not interesting unless she's a villain? Unless she's wrong? Why is it that a woman being a pacifist and right is something uninteresting?

I love that Star Wars fanfic writing community and I honestly don't mind non-canon bits splashed in for worldbuilding but like. Ya'll, Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn't know Mando'a, CANONICALLY. Canonically in The Clone Wars, Satine had a conversation in Mando'a with a Death Watch man in front of Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan asked "What is he saying?" because He Does Not Know The Language. And like, I'm ok when people write him learning the language while on the run with Satine as a padawan, I love those fics too, but there's a habit of people writing Obi-Wan as more spiritually Mandalorian than, say, Satine because he knows the language while she doesn't and that is simply Not True

Thinking about Satine recently, and how the way she's often written really bothers me

(Obligitory disclaimer: this is not my only opinion on Satine, this is my opinion on this specific topic)

I think what bothers me is that when people want to write about her damaging Mandalore, they always just make her a stupid woman who purposefully made bad desicions to destroy her culture.

Instead of the far more interesting and accurate idea of her being around politicians and in power from a young age, being manipulated and sheltered by said politicians to get what they want. And when shes older and actively trying to unlearn this and help her people its incredibly difficult due to being surrounded by abusers, manipulators, and yes men.

Idk just in general people tend to go for really flat (and often bigoted) concepts in writing and characterization when they could write the same idea but more interesting and with actual basis.

People are sleeping on Silo. The tags are so atrociously bare on here, I fear.

i feel like the entire the rings of power fandom is creating a prayer circle to protect arondir & frankly, what a mood, can i join?

[sarcasmofasoldier]

thinking about the fact there’s a period of time between anakin saving the day and the coronet reaching coruscant that’s not shown on screen…

Obi-Wan and Satine should have kissed near the speeders in Concordia.

He should have pulled her in after she threw the flying kiss !!!

RIGHT?!

Ah, it would have been such an interesting moment!

While some will argue it would be uncharacteristic of him, I think it would have been cute to see him do something impulsive like that - kiss her quickly - and then retreat from it with this look like, "Oh no, what have I done?" while Satine's trying not to grin and her cheeks start to turn red.

If the goal was to use Satine as a plot device to bring back Maul and create suffering for Obi-Wan, then the kiss would have only added to the trauma. There'd be no "they weren't in love anymore" discourse because it would be clear that a flame still burned for each other, and it would only add to the misery of her death, and complicate the interesting way Obi-Wan tries to talk to Anakin about his feelings for Padme.

But I get it, I get it.. they're supposed to be older and committed to duty and blah blah blah blah blah..

Maybe if they had kissed in "TCW" I wouldn't have felt the need to write fic about things like that, too.

Thanks a lot, Filoni.

{Excerpt}

Even if you give her everything you have, you will still fail her. That’s the paradox of a devotion as blind as yours.

A pair of yellow eyes stared unblinking into his. Then came the laugh, chilling and enigmatic, echoing through the chambers of his mind.

Obi-Wan’s eyes shot open.

It had been a dream. A dark memory resurfaced as his consciousness drifted and his body finally surrendered to exhaustion. It had been a rare moment of deep sleep—one in which he had almost forgotten that Satine lay beside him, burning with fever.

The morning air was crisp with the scent of underbrush and damp earth, while soft rays of sunlight filtered through the green canopy above. Birds chirped somewhere among the leaves and bushes, and for some reason, it didn’t feel as cold as the day before.

Moving his right arm slowly, he reached for her forehead. Hot. He propped himself up just enough to look at her face.

Her cheeks were unnaturally flushed, while her lips had turned pale, almost colourless. She coughed. This time, it sounded painful.

“That’s alright,” he whispered as her face contorted into a deep frown. Was she in pain? Was there anything he could do to make her more comfortable? As he weighed the situation, Obi-Wan remained still. His left arm was still wrapped around her shoulders, his cloak covering them both like an improvised blanket.

The birds suddenly grew agitated. They burst from their hiding places, gliding overhead and above the treetops toward the open sky.

Obi-Wan listened intently, searching for the cause of the sudden disturbance.

Far in the distance, a rumbling sound. It was still a long way off, but approaching quickly. An engine. A speeder… or perhaps a speeder bike.

Chapter 25 is up! 💕

the way the background elves are moving makes it seem like a choreographed dance while Celeborn and Galadriel are moving to their own rhythm, kind of like they're improvising but still perfectly in sync 👀 could be a great representation of their dynamic
