adding to this because I feel like I have to as your average gbbo watcher:
• all of his bakes are also vegan to keep with kosher—he’s a whiz at whisking up aquafaba
• he’s constantly talking about layla on the show (“my love’s favorite dessert …” + “layla really loves these flavors …” + “she’s been my biggest support this whole competition”)
• has probably the lowest confidence of all the competitors but he’s genuinely really good at what he does?? he has all of the technical/basics down but what really stands out are his flavors since he doesn’t stick to common British flavors
• has definitely fallen asleep while only waiting for something to bake during a technical and everyone was like “??” how tf is he sleeping right now
• one time he wore his glasses during an episode and all the viewers were like 🧍🏻♀️🧍🏻♀️🧍🏻♀️
• no one knows he has DID but sometimes Steven jokes about “having a little voice in his head helping him” and it’s just Marc and Jake yelling at Steven to not forget to pre-heat the oven since he forgot to during the very first signature
• HAS WON BREAD WEEK I WILL NOT ARGUE ON THIS his vegan challah cleared EVERYONE (dessert week was iffy for him because of setting since he can’t use gelatin)
• he makes a point to base all of his bakes on his travels and doesn’t just stick to classic British bakes
• he’s made at least one dessert dedicated to his loved ones though he never names them (has definitely made a dessert dedicated to marc but was like “this is dedicated to a close friend of mine who’s always been there for me since we were kids” 🥹)
• the judges cannot handle the intensity of his flavors most of the time (they probably couldn’t handle a bottle of ketchup either) but Steven continues to do whatever flavors he wants
• somehow has really delicate and elaborate bakes but he can be very jumpy—tries not to let the stress get to him (using the “swan” analogy they love to use on gbbo)
I wrote way too much for this but anyway
Crack fic thought of the day: Steven competing in the Great British Bake Off. HCs include but are not limited to:
Becoming a fan favorite due to his obvious enthusiasm, rumpled academic vibes, and general sweetheart nature
Although there is Discourse about his accent
Favors historical and especially Egyptian themed bakes
Lovingly recreating the precise lemon tart he had on holiday in the country and hasn’t stopped thinking about since (the fact that he shared it with Layla has absolutely nothing to do with that, thank you very much)
Is absolutely one of the people on the floor in front of their oven
Doing really well in the Signatures (he practices a lot)
Being slightly too ambitious in the Showstoppers, but gaining a reputation for gorgeously impressive cakes with thoughtful details (his necropolis cake was a surprise favorite)
Getting flustered in a Technical to the point that Marc takes the wheel which… is not an improvement
Jake takes over and executes the directions so flawlessly that they come in first
Feel free to add on to this absolute nonsense 😂

the funniest thing that the fandom has ever pointed out about dinluke is the fact that the simplified version of the ship is literally “daddy issues” x “dilf who’s good with kids” like ?!?!?!? LIKE DIN IS LITERALLY DARTH VADER/ANAKIN BUT LIKE GOOD??? mans wears his helmet 24/7, cares about and would never hurt his son, is a good pilot and fighter (and as a bonus has a mustache like biggs LMAOO) like he shares so many similar character traits with anakin and luke’s just there like “oh I just think he’s neat . . . and handsome . . . and shiny . . .” like luke my sweet summer child … 😭😭 you are your momma’s child

my favorite part about the kenobi series is that you can tell how much the cast and crew just care about these characters. they care about obi-wan’s grief and learning how to become the hero he once was. they care about anakin and darth vader and how these two sides constantly conflict with one another. they care about reva’s inner turmoil and how her desire for vengeance mirrors anakin’s, and how in order to heal you have to take the first step yourself. they care about leia and showing how important all of her parents were in her life, no matter who raised her or gave birth to her. they care about beru and owen and how even though they were surprised to be given luke, they gave him a home and did everything they could to protect him from the empire. the show might not be perfect, but it does a great service to these characters that the fans deeply care about
