I feel bad that future teens won't have the cw everyone needs to get unnaturally obsessed with an Objectively Bad teen soap with mid level production and the worst dialogue you've ever heard (you write 100k worth of fanfic for this and argue about the show on tumblr dot com)

Have you seen the obikin wedding rings?? It was like your May the 4th picture was made for them *-*

the jedi temple’s bootleg space booze is.

1. a Specialty, 2. made with love and a complete lack of fucks 3. honestly the most Terrifying substance in existence

[lurkingcrow]

Every Jedi has their own particular twist - Kit Fisto uses a hallucinogenic seaweed found on his native planet. Plo Koon’s is literally lethal to non Kel-Dor but is the galaxy’s best known grease remover. Mace’s stash appears relatively tame, but has an aftertaste that kicks in half an hour later when you’ve already drunk half the bottle and cannot be removed by any mouthwash known to civilization. No one knows what Yoda’s tastes like, except possibly Dooku and the only time he was ever asked his eyes went blank, his shoulder twitched compulsively and he he immediately called a retreat - it is therefore the most sought after secret in the temple. Luminara has a variety that tastes of something only describable as “pure regret”. She’s been working on “horrified realisation” for a while now but has only managed “embarassed mortification”. Qui-Gon liked to infuse tea and spices into his brew, and brought back more than a few exotic species to feed his habit.  Obi-Wan continues the tradition, however due to the increasing stresses of war the tea varieties he uses have steadily been increasing in both bitterness and caffeine content. It is colloquially known as “the sleepless death” and is banned in eight star systems. Skywalker’s version is surprisingly palatable, does not cause hallucinations and packs a kick stronger than a Dug on steroids. It’s made of bugs.

KJEDI 21.2FM

When Anakin can't sleep - which is most of the time - he tunes in to the local college radio station, just grateful to have someone else who sounds like they're awake at the same time he is.

His favorite quickly becomes Ben Kenobi, broadcasting his show Guiding Light from the station just a few miles away every Tuesday and Thursday from two to five a.m. Ben's musical tastes are...eclectic, to say the least, but he's funny and knowledgeable and Anakin looks forwarding to listening to him every week.

...and sure, okay, maybe Anakin's got a little bit of a crush on the guy. But it's not like that's ever going to go anywhere. Anakin is busy with his job, and his kids, and Ben is just a voice on the radio. They've never crossed paths. They're never going to cross paths.

That is, at least, until one cold November morning when Ben asks anyone out there who's listening to call into the station.

Anakin can't dial the phone fast enough.

This fic's first fan, way back in 2023 when I first started talking about writing radio DJ Obi-Wan, was @kingdomvel, and thank you, friend, because I know this is late but it likely wouldn't have (ever!) happened without you and your excitement for this concept.

Speaking of starting fics three years ago and not finishing them until now, I'm also grateful to @tideswept and the Order of Overdue Obikin for giving me a community and a deadline to actually sit down and write, and, as always, for @underacalicosky, @palfriendpatine66, and @somethingsteff.

For your help with the section in chapter four where Anakin talks about his favorite video game soundtracks, thank you to @aigoos, @lilredghost, @renlyslittlerose, and @kidrest!

I can't shout out any of them on Tumblr, but my inspiration for this fic took a lot of cues from Wolfman Jack (both the real person and the character of himself he played in American Graffiti), Obi-Wan in Lego Star Wars: Summer Vacation, DJ Matt Pinfield, and Nick Offerman, whose book Good Clean Fun really helped me out when I decided it was a good idea to make Anakin a woodworker despite the fact that I know nothing about woodworking.

Also my dad, who is the only person I know who listens to Mott the Hoople.

Chapter one notes and links:

-Anakin mentions a song he thinks is called "I Know This Much Is True" by Salacious Crumb, which he gets wrong on all counts: it's "True" by Spandau Ballet

-the first song Anakin hears on Obi-Wan's show (all thirty minutes of it!) is Karn Evil No. 9 by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer

-Like Anakin, the first time I heard Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie (on my local public radio station, no less!) it took my breath away. I had to pull over to the side of the road and just sit there until it finished.

Chapter two is now up! Notes and links:

-The comedy bit about self-defense against different kids of fruit is a Monty Python sketch, which was originally released on a record album but later used on their TV show

-The audiobook Obi-Wan plays on-air is, in a nod to Ewan McGregor's own filmography, A Gentleman in Moscow (I like to think that Obi-Wan got his copy from the library!)

[grapenehifics]

Chapter three notes and links!

-Rhapsody in Blue on a banjo is a real thing (and a ton of fun)

-The book Obi-Wan is so into that he can't stop reading long enough to do his radio show is one of my favorites, The Rook by Daniel O'Malley. I highly recommend it and if anyone has read it and wants to talk about it, hit me up!

-and, finally, the entire hour-long broadcast of The War of the Worlds from October 30, 1938

[grapenehifics]

The final chapter!

I know I mentioned it earlier in this post, but my visual cues for this chapter (you'll know it when you see it, haha) were:

-the Bruce Springsteen song Obi-Wan quotes from is 'Highway Patrolman'

-Anakin never gets to hear the answer, but the CTA in question is the Chicago Transit Authority, which after their first album (and a few legal accusations, considering there is a very real Chicago Transit Authority that is not a band but the organization that handles buses and trains in the city of Chicago) got shortened to the much more famous band name Chicago (who went on to record, at current count, 37 albums, but I give you permission to stop after Chicago VII)

-In A Gadda Da Vida, all seventeen minutes of it ;)

I haven't made a fanvid in over 12 years! But I finally had the time and the computer to make one again. Is it great? No, I'm very rusty and there's so many talented editors out there that I could never compete with.

But it was fun! And I'm happy I made it.

[Same Age AU] v2 “Stop glaring at everyone. And stop yanking at my pants, they can’t go any higher.” “Do you even have underwear?” “That you can see for yourself. Later. If you behave, of course.” Same age, but both are Jedi Knights. An undercover mission. It was meant to be a solo mission for Obi-Wan, but then Anakin saw the outfit and went "Hahaha. No fucking way." So he pulled all the strings he could, bragged his Chosen One's rights, and got himself into this mission too. He may or may not have mind-tricked someone to go and stare at the wall for three hours because they stared at Obi-Wan's hips. v1
