Obi-wan And Anakin - Tumblr Posts

Going absolutely insane bc Obi Wan literally gave up the rest of his life for Anakin. He spent over a decade wasting away in a desert to protect Anakin’s children from Anakin. He saved Anakin’s daughter and watched over Anakin’s son, all while having raised Anakin himself when he wasn’t ready. He stayed with Anakin’s wife when she was alone in one of the darkest moments of her life and stayed with her as she died. Everything he did can he tied back to Anakin. He gave everything for Anakin and loved him so much, even when anyone else would’ve given up, and in the end, Anakin was the one who killed him.

since i haven't been around, and i haven't been able to write as much as i've wanted, here's some stuff i was noodling with

i've been toying with a hurt/comfort fic exploring sith lightning as more (pun intended) insidious than in the films, because it is, technically a bolt of purely malevolent energy. i wanted the effects to work like radiation sickness. i have an unfinished WIP using this idea with obi-wan and anakin, where anakin's throat just kind of melts, but we can have all sorts of fun here.

a longer fic about the anakin-doesn't-fall-to-the-dark-side AU i keep in my back pocket, mustard gas & roses, covering exactly how it goes AU from the third episode. this would be from padme's perspective and be largely about her, but it would change a lot of the key details of that universe (obi-wan's role changes quite a bit) and by necessity would be plot heavy

another plot heavy anakin-doesn't-fall-to-the-dark-side AU, except from obi-wan's perspective. in this one, anakin doesn't do the stupid shithead idiot move, and he and mace work together to arrest palpatine. obi-wan is selected (because of his reputation as the negotiator, and the context he has thanks to anakin's knowledge about palpatine) to interrogate palpatine and get a full picture of how compromised the republic's security actually is, but inevitably palpatine is still playing the long game. i just think it'd be fun to explore what could make palpatine compelling as a villain even when he seemingly has no avenues left.

another fic featuring palpatine as the primary antagonist, but this one borrows from legends. in legends, the jedi temple is actually built over an old sith temple; the idea was, palpatine manipulates anakin into sneaking down to explore it for him. the unfortunate thing about sith temples is that they're passively acting on you, the whole time you're in them, and anakin, both particularly sensitive and particularly wounded, goes a bit off the deep end.

......... werewolf jedi. i'm sorry i've been watching a lot of god of war playthroughs. this is way dorkier than you think it is i promise.

shmi survives AOTC, but for whatever reason, anakin believes she died then. they reunite during a rehash of the slaves of the republic plotline, which i'm sure doesn't spark any specific emotions in anyone in particular. this would be a classic husborth fic-where-the-plot-is-feelings but, like, come on, this would be all feelings all the way down.

between the third and fourth episodes, say about ten years into the empire, obi-wan gets captured by palpatine. palpatine leverages his presence for all it's worth, including showing off to obi-wan exactly how loyal to him vader's become. this is an excuse to force vader and obi-wan to interact regularly without vader being able to kill obi-wan (he is not allowed because palpatine did not sign his permission slip) which leads to delicious character interactions not otherwise possible on account of vader's homicidal general state of being

This will be my new artbook cover as well

[ID: a digital sketch of Anakin Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The three are joined in a hug with Anakin and Ahsoka on either side of Obi Wan, who has his hands gently embracing the two. Anakin’s hair and Ahsoka’s lekku markings are colored with a light grey, and the rest of the drawing remains uncolored. END ID]

You said I killed you—haunt me, then!

I love them 😭

From Star Wars Clone Wars: Stealth

Hello sorry my life is still not quite back together and you probably won't be hearing from me much for a while yet, but my daughter drew this for me for my birthday and I've been laughing for three days

once in a while obi wan gets into a nostalgic mood about how much anakin has grown. he digs up anakins old drawings and holopictures and a tunic he was supposed to fix but never did so it lies folded in the bottom of his drawer.

then there is a hollow tugging inside his chest because anakin used to be even smaller. anakin said his first words and walked his first steps and fixed his first droid and obi wan was not there to see it. no one can tell him what it felt like to hold a warm bundled anakin, small enough to fit in one arm. was anakin born with hair? did he like to be held like he does now?

obi wan thinks about anakins mother. is anakin anything like her? does he carry her eyes, her laugh, her heart? he never met her, he wonders what difference it wouldve made if he did.

in a sealed corner of his heart, perhaps he wishes that anakin carried a little of him too. theyll never be connected by blood. theyll never have the intrinsic connection tying them together. but like anakin has burrowed himself inside his bones, where all his blood originates, maybe there are pieces of himself in anakin hed forgotten to take out. they slipped without meaning and anakin kept them. even if its only in the way he ties his robes and curses when he stubs his toe.

then there is embarrassment. white blinding shame at his thoughts. he stops his mind from spinning further. these are strange things to desire, obi wan recognizes it. un jedi like, un obi wan like even. no one knows. no one will know. he feels stupid in front of himself.

matt stover is addicted to putting me on the conveyor belt at the glue factory I forgot about this this was crazy. like why would you say that.

Couple + Sibling/relative third wheel is honestly an S-tier trio dynamic and I wish we saw more of this in media.

"You are my soulmate. We are forged together by battle and tears and love. Also my brother's coming along."

"Yo."

obi wan and anakin were brothers and besties and father & son and many more things. it entirely depends on your interpretation of their dynamic and the situation. nevertheless, i cant understand why some people dismiss obi wans parental role completely. anakin himself calls obi wan his father right in aotc multiple times.

"okay but the problem was that anakin needed a father but obi wan saw him like a brother."

father, brother and son are all abstract, vague terms for obi wan. he has never experienced them (not in the nuclear family sense we and anakin are looking at it). it ultimately doesnt matter whether obi wan saw anakin as his brother or pet goat. anakin, who matters in the question, did see obi wan as a father. anakin, who had a functional parent, regarded whatever crack obi wan was on as similar enough to his mother.

LFMAOOOOO INFINITE SADNESS BE UPON YOU BOTH LFMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🫵🫵🫵

text is from the poem hevel by Nathaniel Orion!

Y’all, I need help. I’m reading The Song of Achilles (absolutely fucking breathtaking book btw oh my god it’s amazing) and like every single interaction between Achilles and Patroclus is giving MASSIVE Anakin and Obi-Wan vibes (except the sexy ones), like I could just replace the names and it would work perfectly… but I read the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus as entirely romantic (because duh - that’s what the book is about, and also they have a lot of gay sex) and I read the relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan as entirely platonic, brotherly. And I’m of the belief that the romantic love and platonic love only differ in root feeling, and they don’t differ in behaviors, and the way you describe loving someone so incredibly strongly is the same across all types of love - so I’m guessing that the characterizations of each individual character color how I interpret the relationships they’re involved in, and that’s why I read the exact same interactions and behaviors (and codependency) as romantic for one pair of characters and as platonic for a different pair? But it’s still confusing me, especially because I’m getting writing inspiration and wanna rewrite certain SoA scenes with Anakin and Obi-Wan but in the context of SoA, I still interpret those scenes romantically?

Anyway I would love for someone in both fandoms to weigh in on this, because I’m just confusing myself now lol

okay enough yaoi now it's time to draw doomed siblings
