I’ve got Star Wars on the brain, and I’m going to make it everyone else’s problem.
Now, shall we?
Okay, but what if Obi-wan had to haunt himself as a baby?
Mister low-self-esteem seeing himself as a baby that still had value?
Obi-wan seeing that he was just a little fellow, basking in the light, deserving good things? (“Luminous beings, we are” Yoda had said, and that meant him too.)
Obi-wan coming to realize that he wasn’t just made to suffer for no reason, that there was a destiny in store, and that he didn’t fail?
Obi-wan learning that the little boy he used to be was horribly funny and desperately sad, and that he actually did make the best of every situation?
That once upon a time he had been just a little boy learning how to be a person for the very first time? (Just like Anakin, once upon a time, and Obi-wan had loved that little boy so much.)
Obi-wan understanding that he was the reason Qui-gon had to repair himself, to make himself better? To be the man worthy of teaching this incredible little boy?
What if Obi-wan saw that he was a little boy just as beloved as Anakin?
That he was meant for the crucible in the way that gold ore is? That his life wasn’t meant to destroy him, but to refine him into something splendid? That all the pain would have meant nothing had he not lived the way he chose to?
He can’t talk to the young Obi-wan and tell him it will all be worth it in the end. He can’t help. He can’t change anything. Except he knows now that infinite suffering did indeed bring infinite gain to the galaxy.
He knows that this little boy he once was will suffer, and that the decisions he made were in service to the light. That his life was good. Significant. Worthy.
Obi-wan, long dead now, comes to understand that the weight of the galaxy was not his to bear. That it was not his choices that brought darkness. That he did his best with what he knew and could do at the time.
It was not his failure.
Obi-wan simply (with great difficulty at times) made his choices in service to the light.
Not everyone else did, and that’s on them. Not him.
Fox: *walking through the senate halls* obi-wan and cody: *pass him* fox: *nods to obi-wan as he passes* obi-wan: *nods back silently* cody: cody: what was that??? obi-wan: it was our patented "We Hate Politicians" solidarity nod. only applicable within the senate building. cody: cody: can i be included next time obi-wan: *puts a hand on his shoulder* of course dear
CODYWAN MERMAY! 🦈🐟🧜♂️🏳️🌈
Featuring Lemon Shark Cody and Koi Fish Obi-Wan!
Heavily inspired by @skeletons-eat’s Codywan mermaid piece! Go check it out, it’s 🤌😩🧑🍳.
im convinced that if obi wan so much as coughed during one of their duels, dooku would somehow spawn a bed, warm blanket, soup, tea, and a damp cloth into existence and go full grandma on him
Obi-Wan tries out a new fit ✨ Based on Cal’s design in Jedi Survivor. Reference below!
⊹ ✦ my art | tip jar ✦ ⊹
Totally responsible consumption of tea
Repeat after me:
The Jedi taught emotional control, not repression.
The Jedi took kids with parental consent, they did not kidnap them.
The Jedi did not hold people against their will, they could leave the Order at any time.
The Jedi were not "just as bad" as the Sith.
AAhhhhh this is so cute, i die
