hi! you don’t have to publish this or anything but as one of your usamerican followers i just wanted to say thank you for all your help and support this election cycle spreading important voting posts and stuff like that. ik you don’t live here so it really means a lot and i am so, *so* sorry y’all and the rest of the world is gonna have to deal with the consequences of this nation’s evil again

so thank you, and i’m sorry

of course, I lived under a conservative government my country voted against for 15 years, I was so desperately hoping that the same wouldn't happen to the US. Half my (Irish-Hispanic) paternal family lives in America, and my cousin Kristen nearly died of long covid because of the atrocious way the orange fuck-nugget handled the pandemic. I'm terrified on their behalf for what might happen, as well as for all my online friends including you who live in America. I'm so sorry this happened, please survive for the people who love you <3

Unpopular opinion: Obi Wan was the best possible Master for Anakin and no other Master would have “fixed” him or made the outcome of the prequels any better

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

Obi-Wan was a good teacher who genuinely cared for Anakin. Yes, he’d critique Anakin at times, but it was never maliciously, and he showed so much compassion and tenderness for him. And we have canon (and undoubtedly Legends, too, but I don’t really know Legends PT content) evidence that Anakin responds really well to Obi-Wan’s teaching style, and moreover, to Obi-Wan’s friendship.

When people say another teacher would be better, they’re ignoring the two biggest reasons Anakin was struggling so much: that he was a literal slave on Tatooine, and that Palpatine was right there. I point these out bc you can easily draw a straight line from “slave kid on Tatooine” to “extreme fear of letting things go/losing those he loves”, and bc no other teacher would be able to stop Palps from manipulating a child should he have the access and time to.

To also imply that Anakin needed Qui-Gon or smth to tell him to feel his feelings and then that would be how he’d magically have a better mental health state is also pretty dismissive and makes light of how complicated trauma and mental illness/neurodivergency is. (In the real world, severe cases of trauma and the like require a whole team of people to help a person’s treatment.)  The only sort of critique I suppose I could see in this case is that a Master who wasn’t so blinded by love of Anakin may have been better able to see just how deep Anakin’s struggle w the Dark Side was, but at the same.... I still doubt that greatly tbh.

Sea of No Cares - Great Big Sea

Obi-Wan never expected to find love in the tiny seaside village he couldn’t wait to get out of when he was younger. What was meant to be a dreary vacation of reckoning with his adoptive father’s ghost in his childhood home in a dying town on the coast of Newfoundland accidentally turns into a whirlwind summer romance when he meets a local fisherman and single father of two: Anakin Skywalker. 

But, when summer ends, the real world comes knocking and Obi-Wan has to decide whether he can give up the life he worked so hard on for the only thing in this place he hates that he can love. 

Soulmate AU. The setting is more or less the town my mother grew up in, which is beautiful and picturesque and also in a part of the world that is dying as more and more people leave it for the city. The terrain is rugged and harsh, the winters bitter and cold and the summers cool and barely even warm except for august. I’ve actually always wanted to set a story in that town. 

I just like the idea of Obi-Wan basically getting so swept up in Anakin he more or less throws his cares into the sea and just... decides to be in love until the summer ends and he needs to like, go back to his life and his friends. Will probably actually turn into a long-distance romance for a while until Anakin is Anakin and more or less asks Obi-Wan to choose between him and his career because lets face it, Anakin wants to have it all and he wants Obi-Wan. But it’d have a happy ending anyways because all Obi-Wan does is think about Anakin and being with Anakin. 

The Soulmate AU comes in where it’s a bit of a twist. Everyone is born with a unique mark, and when you fall in love with someone, their mark appears on your skin. And even after they’re gone, it stays. You wear your heart on your skin.

magic-owl replied to your post: I’m going to turn anon asks back on (because I do...

I’m hoping no one decides to be rude to you because Why?!? But I’m also now curious, so if my hope comes true and people are nice, can you show us the Stink Eye GIF Collection anyway? :3

IN FAIRNESS, it’s probably more of a “I can’t believe I’m seeing this bullshit” collection, but that’s the spirit of what I meant anyway SO HAVE A FEW OF MY FAVES

MACE AND OBI-WAN AND AHSOKA MAKE THE BEST FACES OKAY

Songbird if you’re still playing!

I am! I’m always playing! You find an old ask game in my blog? send me something and I’ll get to it! (just clarify if it’s old because I need to search for it lol) 

Song: Super Trouper - ABBA

You know that scene in Mamma Mia where they are singing this song? well, something like that but it’s Aayla, Barriss and Anakin undercover as performers. Obi-Wan and idk, Quinlan are in the crowd, also undercover and then the “so I’ll be there when you arrive, the sight of you will prove to me I’m still alive” part comes and is Anakin singing it and he somehow manages to look at Obi-Wan right in the eyes when he sings it and Obi-Wan swears there is something there  Also, they are pining idiots and are not together yet :) 

Thanks for asking, Clary!

If you’re still doing the character meme, how about Bail Organa? Or Dooku? Your pick.

Talked about Dooku here, so I’ll talk about Bail!

How I feel about this character

He is such a good man. Out of all the people on Coruscant, out of everyone who saw the Jedi Temple burning...he’s the only one who came to see if he could do anything to help. He saw the troopers shoot down a child just for being a Jedi, and he immediately went to go find and help other Jedi, at great risk to himself. He took in, loved, and raised a child with powerful Force-sensitivity, who the Empire would come down hard on him for protecting. And then there is everything he did for the Rebellion.

I love him a lot.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Breha by default. I also have a soft spot for him and Obi-Wan (which is probably at least a partial contributor to why I didn’t dislike Wild Space as much as Clone Wars Gambit)

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Him and Padmé, him and Obi-Wan (as well as romantic), him and Leia.

My unpopular opinion about this character

I don’t think I have one? I think most people agree that Bail is pretty great.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I kinda wish he hadn’t gone back to Alderaan at the end of Rogue One - there’s some great potential in an AU where he survived without it actually changing the story too much.
