I just want to make a quick note about master/padawan ships, because with the resurgence of the swrpc, there are a few ships that increase in popularity. Firstly I just want to say that this is not a judgment on anyone for shipping whatever they want, and I’ve tried really hard to make sure that I’m posting this on the dash at a time when I haven’t seen anything immediately prior so that no one thinks this is aimed at them. This is not aimed at anyone! This is just a general note that applies across the board for my comfort.
Master/Padawan (and Master/Former-Padawan) ships make me extremely uncomfortable, and not only will I not write them, I will not engage with them in any way. This is because of the familial bond between a Jedi Master and their Padawan, and the parental nature that is included in being a Padawan’s Master (which is why even after a Padawan has been Knighted, I still am uncomfortable with them being shipped with their former Master). As well as this being something that I’m not comfortable with ooc, it’s something that Siri icly would not be okay with, again because of the type of relationship that Jedi Masters have with their Padawans. It’s familial, there’s a huge power imbalance, and it’s a bond that’s sacred to her. I’ve in the past gotten a couple anons asking about Siri’s opinion on it, and while I could link you to those posts, the takeaway is that if Siri was aware of any romantic ship like that, she would want that Jedi Master expelled from the Order.
The main thing here is that I ask that you please not imply or be assuming any such relationship while writing threads with me, and know that I will drop threads if a romantic Master/Padawan ship becomes implied.
While I will happily engage with threads where your muse is assumed to be in a relationship with someone else (common examples include, if I’m writing with Ferus and it’s assumed that Ferus and Roan are married; if I’m writing with Obi-Wan and it’s assumed that Obi-Wan and Satine are together; if I’m writing with Padmé and it’s assumed that Padmé and Anakin are together... you get it, yeah?) I will not engage in threads where a Master/Padawan ship is assumed. Again, this is not at anyone specifically, but the examples that comes up on my dash most often are obi/kin, qui/obi, ani/soka or obi/ani/dala. If you’re multiship and a Master/Padawan ship is just one of your ships and you’re perfectly fine with not having it be in the verses that anything you write with me, then you do you, this isn’t a judgment. (If you could tag it so it can be caught by my blacklist that would be ideal, but as this is a comfort preference and not a trigger, I won’t require that it’s tagged; if you’re willing to tag it for me but don’t want to use a general tag so no personals find it, please feel free to let me know what your tag will be and I’ll add that to my blacklist.) But if a Master/Padawan ship is a main ship for you where you’ll feel limited or untrue to your portrayal by not having it carry over into things you write with me, then you may want to unfollow and softblock me, and that’s fine too, no hard feelings.
I’m really sorry if this makes anyone feel uncomfortable, I’ve just been seeing a lot more of this on my dash than I’m comfortable with, and I don’t want to get into a situation where I’m dropping threads because of implied romantic Master/Padawan ship, and then thread partners are confused or unhappy or feeling ignored because of it, and feeling like I never expressed this, since it has been over a year since this I’ve mentioned this on my blog.
Thank you for understanding!
