Hi, I started reading your book "Fox's Tongue and Kirin's Bone" recently and I absolutely love it. Therefore I was wondering if it is possible to buy a paperback or hardcover copy of the first book especially a signed one (I saw the book has a page on amazon) .Thanks in advance for your answer.

This shall be a thing! ...In a few months. I just signed a contract for the production of an audiobook (yay!), and I'm currently planning a simultaneous launch for all versions. There will indeed be signed copies available for both hardcover and paperback. All the better to entice readers to buy directly from me, and minimize my tithe to Amazon. ;)

More details when I have a concrete timeline for the launch!

(Ignore the current Amazon listing, that is what happens when baby keyboard smashes and hits "publish" WAY too early, it is not even the right cover. I unpublished immediately but it is now there FOREVER.)

What obi-wan time travel fics would you reccomend?

I have been preparing for this ask my whole AO3-bookmarking life.

the massive machinery of hope by Killbothtwins: the absolute best, the amazing, the Time Traveling Obi-Wan Is A Little Shit series you never knew you needed. NOT a crack series, but it is very good fun. Obi goes back, and uses his fore-knowledge and the amazing power of PTSD to make everyone think he's a baby seer. Qui-Gon Jinn feels very hunted by this child who shows up to places ahead of him. Features an amazing new plot from the get-go; no rehashing the usual canon timeline here!

The Desert Storm by Blue_Sunshine: in which Obi comes back in his Old Man body and takes baby Obi-Wan as an apprentice. Another one that does a good job of setting its own plot distinct from canon. Each series entry is generally a whole-ass novel with a plot that builds off the others. I am currently traumatized (positive) by a certain plot development, and refusing to read chapter-by-chapter. Fortunately it updates so fast that I can simply wait a month or two then pull off the latest bandaid REALLY FAST and see if the newest entry hurts. It's Hurt/Comfort roulette, baby!

Can't return to who I was before by K_R_Closson: Dooku takes tired time-traveler Obi as his padawan. The hospice chapter HURT me, in the best way.

BONUS fics: time-traveling-Obi-adjacent stories

Full Circle by cjwritesfanficnow: Baby Dooku outsider POV on time traveler Kenobi suddenly being in the temple. Baby Dooku is VERY SUSPICIOUS.

Luminous by HopeofDawn: Force Ghost Obi-Wan goes back in time to haunt Kamino. The baby clones feel loved. Jango feels harassed.

Antianakin's Pro-Jedi Codywan Fic Rec List

The theme of this particular rec list is Codywan fics that specifically are Pro-Jedi ONLY. For the purposes of this rec list, Pro-Jedi means there will be no Jedi getting married or undergoing cultural reforms of any kind, there's no acting like Jedi are totally repressed people who need to be saved from themselves and forced into relationships for their own mental well-being, no Jedi converting to another culture, no Jedi struggling in a relationship because it's "against the Code" etc. You get the idea. Which means I am not including Codywan fics that I do not personally feel are 100% Pro-Jedi even if I like them, and I'm also not including fics that do not feature/center Codywan even if they are pro-Jedi.

Here are the categories:

General Canon: Fics that are either canon compliant or canon divergent.

Non-Jedi AUs: Any AU where Jedi just simply don't exist, so the rules are different in terms of what I'm willing to accept. I realize this is cheating the theme a little, but I tried to keep it to fics where Jedi characters are still treated kindly/fairly within the context of the AU. Also a lot of these fics are just too good not to rec, even if they're a tad off theme.

Smut: Fics that only really have sex as the "plot" and very little else, but not necessarily straight-up porn. This category will include both canon compliant/divergent fics and Non-Jedi AUs.

Helpful terms:

Unfinished: Any fic that is marked as incomplete, or a series marked as incomplete and the fic(s) cannot stand on their own

Ongoing: Any series marked as incomplete, but the fics in it are marked as complete and/or can stand alone as they are

There is absolutely no specific order to this. I tried to group fics from one specific author together, but other than that, I didn't place anything in any specific position for a reason.

Please keep an eye on all ratings and tags for these fics! Some of them are pure fluff, but some of them deal with some VERY heavy topics and themes.

This is NOT an exhaustive list of my favorite Codywan fics, or by ANY means an exhaustive list of good Codywan fics that exist, or of Codywan fics that are Pro-Jedi. If your fic or your favorite fic isn't on this list, please feel free to rec it yourself in the notes, leave a reply or reblog with a link, I'm always happy to read more Codywan fic!

With the house-cleaning out of the way, find the fic recs below!

It’s been over half a year since I did a set of STAR WARS fic recs that weren’t pairing-focused, but I have been reading fic along the way! And sometimes you want fic that’s not about ships, no matter how much you love them, sometimes you just want to read about friendships or you want to read some cool worldbuilding or you only want the plot, and Star Wars fandom has been lovely about that. Hell, sometimes you just want to cry about how much you love the Jedi and you want to share that affection with other people, through the incredible experience of telling stores about them, like they were trying so hard and they were right about so many things and they were dying for years to try to help the galaxy, and teaching about how emotional regulation is good actually, and sometimes you want to show that through the disaster trio and sometimes you want to yell about how good Mace Windu is and sometimes you want to love frog grandpa and sometimes you want to get into a fistfight to defend Luminara’s honor and sometimes you want the whole Order sitting down to a family dinner and sometimes you want fic where Anakin and Mace actually get along and so many other things! So, here’s a collection of some excellent fic that I think most people should be able to find at least something to enjoy, whether you’re looking for fun disaster lineage shenanigans or heartbreaking pain because Star Wars Is Pain or some awesome Jedi Order worldbuilding or some all too rare Mace Windu Appreciation fic, I HOPE YOU ENJOY. WHAT KIND OF FIC YOU’LL FIND HERE:

The ending to the ‘Padawan Lost’ Arc for the Kenobi Tano AU is living in my head, rent free rn.

-> Featuring Obi-Wan ‘wrapped around his daughter’s little finger’ Kenobi, as well as Anakin ‘I can deadlift Artoo’ Skywalker, and of course, Ahsoka Tano herself.

I have a lot of feelings about this AU, if you couldn’t tell.

Did you have a kid in your neighborhood who always hid so good, nobody could find him? We did. After a while we would give up on him and go off, leaving him to rot wherever he was. Sooner or later he would show up, all mad because we didn't keep looking for him. And we would get mad back because he wasn't playing the game the way it was supposed to be played.

There's hiding and there's finding, we'd say. And he'd say it was hide-and-seek, not hide-and-give-UP, and we'd all yell about who made the rules and who cared about who, anyway, and how we wouldn't play with him anymore if he didn't get it straight and who needed him anyhow, and things like that. Hide-and-seek-and-yell. No matter what, though, the next time he would hide too good again. He's probably still hidden somewhere, for all I know.

As I write this, the neighborhood game goes on, and there is a kid under a pile of leaves in the yard just under my window. He has been there a long time now, and everybody else is found and they are about to give up on him over at the base. I considered going out to the base and telling them where he is hiding. And I thought about setting the leaves on fire to drive him out. Finally, I just yelled, "GET FOUND, KID!" out the window. And scared him so bad he probably wet his pants and started crying and ran home to tell his mother. It's real hard to know how to be helpful sometimes.

A man I know found out last year he had terminal cancer. He was a doctor. And knew about dying, and he didn't want to make his family and friends suffer through that with him. So he kept his secret. And died. Everybody said how brave he was to bear his suffering in silence and not tell everybody, and so on and so forth. But privately his family and friends said how angry they were that he didn't need them, didn't trust their strength. And it hurt that he didn't say good-bye.

He hid too well. Getting found would have kept him in the game. Hide-and-seek, grown-up style. Wanting to hide. Needing to be sought. Confused about being found. "I don't want anyone to know." "What will people think?" "I don't want to bother anyone."

Better than hide-and-seek, I like the game called Sardines. In Sardines the person who is It goes and hides, and everybody goes looking for him. When you find him, you get in with him and hide there with him. Pretty soon everybody is hiding together, all stacked in a small space like puppies in a pile. And pretty soon somebody giggles and somebody laughs and everybody gets found.

Medieval theologians even described God in hide-and-seek terms, calling him Deus Absconditus. But me, I think old God is a Sardine player. And will be found the same way everybody gets found in Sardines - by the sound of laughter of those heaped together at the end.

"Olly-olly-oxen-free." The kids out in the street are hollering the cry that says "Come on in, wherever you are. It's a new game." And so say I. To all those who have hid too good. Get found, kid! Olly-olly-oxen-free.

husborth-deactivated20241109

i was thinking that people don’t appreciate how overwhelmingly funny the death star getting blown up is; i mean, you know, on some level, this is just some teenager from space alabama who grew up shooting cans with a shotgun going, “yeah, you want me to attack the biggest military base in space history with absolutely no piloting-in-space experience? i can do that.” like back in space alabama luke flew the equivalent of a crop duster, maybe, but then the rebellion’s like this kid we met two hours ago, we need to put him in a fighter. luke has absolutely no hours piloting a fighter in space before this, and then he succeeds because he’s got magic powers, and the voices told him to. what is probably the most overwhelmingly enormous military base ever built in space with the most extreme firepower ever amassed in space loses in a fight to a guy who had less flight time than a fresh soviet pilot in WWII, this is already the funniest military victory in pop fiction, bar none.

but then you go to how luke wins, aside from the magic powers and the voices in his head; he convinces the local weed guy to get into armed conflict with the military, and the local weed guy shows up in the space equivalent of a VW bus that has a gun duct taped to it, and this is the rig that manages to shoot down darth vader. i should say that by this point in star wars, darth vader has been fighting in war since he was nineteen, and the first time he flew a fighter was when he was nine, he’s widely renowned not only as one of the best pilots in the galaxy, but also as one of the most dangerous people in the galaxy period, like if you let him loose on a battlefield everyone probably just sort of hangs back and lets him massacre everyone. because honestly they’re really just accessories in this. things like “air support” or “artillery” or even “other people with guns” aren’t super necessary because vader’s got the magic powers, the voices in his head, and also a sword that kills people, you know? definitely a couple imperial victories boil down to, “we just told vader to go to work, and then we found a mountain of bodies afterwards.” and this is the guy who gets creamed by a VW bus plus gun. han and chewie fucking scooby and shaggy his ass, and in legends vader ate shit so hard he spiraled out of control, crashed on a planet in the middle of nowhere, and promptly went kind of crazy and decided to slum it with - and i shit you not - a pack of literal space hyenas, who adopted him as their king. he then became the only fucking survivor of the entire ordeal. we really don’t appreciate how fucking funny this is.

i think one of my fave shark facts is this thing that some species of sharks do where they sorta peek their heads out of the water to see whats above the surface…..its called spyhopping and great white sharks do it all the time

#dont they reckon they learned this from whales?#bc whales have been doing this for as long as weve been observing them but sharks have only started doing it in the last decade or so#OH HEY THAT REMINDS ME#ON THE TOPIC OF SHARKS LEARNING THINGS FROM OTHER SPECIES#theres a pod of orcas that have recently started hunting sharks off the coast of south africa#started with one orca with a collapsed dorsal who reportedly HATES sharks and was the only orca on record to hunt them routinely#WELL#he taught his buddies and now theres a whole pod that hunt them#and the sharks (who arent used to being predated by anything) USED THE SAME EVASION TECHNIQUES THAT THEIR OWN PREY USE WITH THEM#so seals and turtles and etc will try to evade a GWS by swimming in a tight circle and keeping the shark in their line of sight#the GW has a larger turning circle than the prey so if the turtle/seal/whatever is able to got into the right position then they can evade#the shark. well the orcas started hunting the sharks and the sharks TRIED EMPLOYING THE SAME TACTIC THAT THEIR PREY USES#this is huge in terms of lateral learning bc its not as though the sharks have an instinctive orca evasion technique bc if they did it#would be something different. given that sharks are solitary hunters but orcas are pack hunters and the smaller turning circle method#will only work with a solitary hunter and definitely HAS NOT worked when applied to pack hunters. BUT THIS MEANS!! that the sharks are#intelligent enough to recall the behaviour of their own prey’s successful evasion techniques AND TO THEN MIMIC IT THEMSELVES.#incredible!!!!!!! but yeah as stated it very much only works against solitary animals so the sharks that employed it did not get away and#the orcas have killed a handful of GWs and literally all the other sharks have fled the area entirely - like - there’s not a single#one to be found and the ones with tracking devices show them getting the fuck out of dodge and of course this is having a big negative#impact on the local economy which runs largely on shark tourism. but yeah like the facinating thing here is that an adult orca has taught#fellow adult orcas how to hunt sharks AND the sharks have tried to employ evasion techniques that they have known to work in the past#its two instances of lateral learning and ONE OF THEM IS CROSS SPECIES LATERAL LEARNING#its amazing!??!?207,611 notes

I'm trying to decide if The Team would have been more or less hilariously annoying if they'd been the same age (and obviously a bunch of other stuff had been different in order for that to happen).

Like, on the one hand certainly SOME of their bickery stems from the whole "Obi-Wan used to be Anakin's master" thing, but I could also see them being like THE most annoying assholes EVER around each other if they'd been in the same grade in Jedi school.

artemisthehuntress

Oh I think it would absolutely be worse because you’d still have the same sort of “Obi-Wan is the long-suffering ‘mature one’ (much like the Council we won’t examine his track record too hard and mythbust that one) to Anakin’s reckless maverick” dynamic except now it would come with added “you’re only two months older than me, you’re not the boss of me!” Skywalker Bitching. (“Well someone has to be the boss of you, you’re clearly not qualified to be on the loose without a keeper”)

AND you’d have the completely new element of “hey that was going to be my grand entrance! Ugh, this is just like the time you stole the lead in the annual crèche musical!”

“Force, Anakin, we were eight! LET IT GO!”

“You gave me those spicy sweets that made me cough on purpose and we both know it! I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MARIA VON SPACETRAPP!”

“YOU COULDN’T HANDLE IT THEN AND YOU CAN’T HANDLE IT NOW SKYWALKER!”

The war would have been over in about twenty minutes because Dooku would have gotten so sick of them he would declare a truce just to shut them up

Palpatine would never have turned Anakin because he would be too busy fighting with Obi-Wan over who’s turn it is to be the legs in their bi-monthly game of crèchemate chicken with Quinlan and Aayla (“you’re heavier!” “Yeah but I’m taller and I’ve got longer limbs so I can reach farther!” “I don’t need to be a kriffing giant to kick your ass.” “Oh yeah? Put your money where your mouth is Kenobi! Last one to the training yards is a sweaty bantha!”)

forcearama

Dear Lord, they're terrible. 😄 I feel for absolutely everyone who has to hang out with them.

This is 100000% worse if it's a romantic-ship AU, because you know they keep this up for like, YEARS AND YEARS. They probably don't get together until they're both Jedi Masters or something, by which point everyone who knows them has been listening to this nonsense for DECADES.

Obi-Wan For His Entire 20s: Ugh I canNOT believe I am being sent on another mission with Anakin Skywalker, whom I greatly dislike because he is very annoying and his face is not even that good or anything, WHY must they ALWAYS put us on the same missions together when I so clearly despise it and him? Quinlan Vos Who Is Incredibly Tired and Hopes This Time Those Two Dumbasses Will Finally Just Bang It Out Already: [rolling his eyes and staring at the ceiling, calling on the Force to intervene]

Anakin, On the Other Side of the Temple Cafeteria: ...you know who they assigned to this thing with me, Snips? Ahsoka, Almost as Tired As Quinlan: ...Obi-Wan Kenobi? Anakin: OBI-WAN KENOBI! Haven't I suffered enough years of being annoyed by this guy? Why does the Council keep making me spend time with that pompous asshole? Ahsoka: ...because they're hoping you guys will finally just hook up and put us all out of our misery? Anakin: [sputtering] Wh-- I--- EXCUSE YOU, that is d-- that is a TERRIBLE thing to suggest, why would you think I would be INTO that? He is...not good-looking. I mean, OK, I guess he's not...gross or anything. I mean some people probably think he's hot because he's got that accent and that hair and those eyes and he is like, really surprisingly buff -- have you seen him without a shirt? -- but like...obviously I'm not into that. Ahsoka: [stares at him] Anakin: ...what?

trying to find a new piece of media to consume like, it has to be new, it has to be familiar, if it stresses me out even a little i will die, i want there to be a specific kind of conflict but i don’t know what kind, i want to be utterly engrossed, i want to watch it in the background, i can’t concentrate, i am hyperfixated, i want to be challenged, i want to be comforted, i want to be disturbed but in a comforting way, maybe i’ll just watch the first three seasons of great british bakeoff again

Anon with the Sohla - and - Ham - Youtube- question here. I also think everyone in the foodieverse is original! I didn't mean "is that how they come up with ideas" as in do they copy/ adapt ideas from youtube, but more like "Does someone just suggest a random ingredient and then they create menues around it sometimes". I could see especially Tony going "we need a tasting menue based on cheetos" or something like that.

Oh no, I didn't take it that way at all! Chefs definitely take inspiration from each other. And obviously Tony and Steve, at least, get a certain level of fascination from some youtube food channels :D I've just always found it's best to be clear because Tumblr readers sometimes...they skim. :D

I bet Tony would do an Elevated Cheeto menu. He'd probably bring in someone to talk about the controversy over who invented the Flamin' Hot Cheeto (hotly contested, one might almost say flamin). And it would have to be a gluten free menu since Cheetos are puffed corn and powdered cheese and thus naturally GF (though they're made in a facility that isn't).
