@masterofthelivingforce​: ❝  i’m not heartless,  you know.  i just don’t see the point in wearing it on my sleeve all the time.  ❞

There were so many things he and his former Master had disagreed on in their time together. Missteps from both of them, but they had found a rhythm Obi-Wan had feared would never materialize. Now, a Jedi Knight and with no worries of being reprimanded by his Master, Obi-Wan finds it easier to challenge him.

“I never said you were heartless,” he counters. “Simply that you would have an easier time with Anakin if you were a little less...grouchy.” A smirk quickly hidden by a sip of his caf.

“ you’re such an idiot. “

"Last time I checked your flimsy magician robes weren't the best for taking bullets, at least one of us was in a suit of armour that could handle it." Thankfully his suit took the blunt of the damage, his wounds would have been far worse otherwise. Still, it left Quinn to carefully pull out shrapnel from his forearm and chest but the inventor knew that even with that he made out like a bandit in comparison to what an unarmoured individual could have taken in that moment. "Next time a 'Thank you' will do, okay?"

obi - wan twirls the phone cord about his finger again and again,   the motion fidgety,   as he waits for qui - gon to pick up.    with his ever - growing workload,   he’s had such little opportunity to call his father lately,   and he misses him fiercely.    expression brightens at the answering click,   unable to contain his grin.      “   qui?    hey!    are you busy?   ”

Beginning of the End

@masterofthelivingforce and I plotted a Sith thing and i love it lots.

Obi-Wan felt betrayed, all things considered.  Completely and utterly betrayed and abandoned.  It was bad enough that he hadn’t wanted him to start off with, and he often felt like he had been begrudgingly taken on, but to have Qui-Gon just run off and leave him on a transport taking him back to the temple stung more than Obi-Wan cared to admit.

The Order wasn’t sure what to do with him quite yet; he didn’t have someone to teach him anymore, but his training was too advanced to simply drop him off in the Agricorps again.  They did try waiting for Master Jinn to come back, but when days stretched into weeks and weeks turned into months it became apparent that he wasn’t coming back.  Master Yoda had taken him under his wing but there was only so much a mostly Temple-bound grandmaster can teach.

Sometimes Obi-Wan felt a festering anger in his heart, smoldering deep and bright as a lava flow, but he usually pushed it down or “released it into the Force” like he was supposed to.  Usually (always) it was pushed down.  With Qui-Gon definitely gone and their bond snapped shut to the point of basically severed...well, Obi-Wan couldn’t help but feel it had to be his own anger.  It was why he nearly was rejected to begin with despite Master Yoda’s attempts at meddling, after all.

The padawan sat cross-legged on the highest balcony he could find, meditating...badly.  The feeling of the ground so far away and a strong breeze threatening to blow him over should he stand up wasn’t helping him meditate, per se, but it helped him to not be overwhelmed by that anger again.  Those bouts came and went less and less frequently, but when they did come they came on powerfully.

@masterofthelivingforce asked: More serious meta question: What's Jack's view on love? did it change throughout his life?

        hmm this is an interesting one. I think it would be remiss to say that Jack’s view on love hasn’t changed over the course of his life: he absolutely becomes more and more of a sceptic towards the idea of love as he gets older, which is the result of becoming more jaded towards the world as a whole. but even when he’s younger he’s not overly keen on the idea of loving anything but the sea and, later on, the Pearl. a part of that is the nature of the world he grew up in: being a sailor, he would have heard of love mostly manifesting in sailors whose only love was the sea, and other sailors who had wives and children on shore ( which, to Jack, is an inhibitor to his freedom and not something he wants at all ). he’s also not a romantic by nature, which doesn’t help, and he grew up in an environment where, for the most part, he was deprived of familial love. even though there is a deep part of him that longs to be loved, touch and sex and lust were more easily obtainable concepts for Jack as he matured into an adult, plus they came with the added bonus of not being things that can easily hurt him when his feelings aren’t involved. 

        love therefore wasn’t a priority, and regardless of how old he is it’s not something he actively seeks out -- at least if we’re talking about romantic love specifically. Jack craves attention, approval, validation, but he does and can succeed in obtaining these things without the need for typical romantic love to be involved. and particularly as he gets older, all that he really sees ( and experiences -- despite what Jack might say on the matter he has been in love in canon, and not just with his boat ) of love is that it makes people do idiotic things, which makes him even less inclined to let it become a significant part of his life. and to be even more sceptical, in Jack’s mind love gives somebody else power over you, and if you combine that with his experience and subsequent fear of betrayal, love comes under the same umbrella as loyalty and trust as things that he refuses to give away to people easily

         so tl;dr; he does not deny that it exists -- he absolutely can’t do that as he loves his ship as fiercely and self-sacrificially as any classic romantic hero -- but at any point in his timeline he is sceptical of giving his heart away to someone. obviously sometimes that choice is taken out of his hands ( and that is the main way in which he falls in love with someone. it always has to happen to him unexpectedly lmao ), but romantic love is not something that he feels he needs in his life in order to feel fulfilled or be happy. 

ask me meta questions!!

a kiss on the navel (bonus points if Obi-Wan is ticklish)

spots to kiss meme

Obi-Wan was already laughing as he hit the bed, bouncing a little from the force of Qui-Gon’s toss. He propped himself up onto his elbows so he could watch as Qui-Gon crawled on over him, grinning shamelessly at the way Qui-Gon was trying - and failing - to look scowly and stern as he prowled up Obi-Wan’s body.

“You’re really not helping your case here,” Obi-Wan teased. “Just throwing me on the bed doesn’t really prove - Ah! Hey!”

He yelped, delighted, and squirmed to escape as Qui-Gon mock-attacked, peppering kisses and gentle, scraping bites just beneath his navel. It didn’t help - Qui-Gon’s grip on his hips kept Obi-Wan from going anywhere - but neither could Obi-Wan entirely help it: Qui-Gon’s beard tickled. He fell back against the bed again, laughing and giggling helplessly, and made a mental note to definitely tease Qui-Gon about desk work maybe putting him out of shape again sometime, if this was going to be Qui-Gon’s way of proving him wrong.
