writing warm up that got away from me
It takes thirty-two more hours for the realization to come to Sidious, and he blames Skywalker wholly for the delay. The boy's own stupidity and black-and-white view of the galaxy must be rubbing off on him, that's the only reason Sidious can think of for not having thinking of this sooner.
Kenobi.
And Skywalker.
The answer has been sitting right before him this entire time, but he had been too blinded by his own hatred of Kenobi to see it. And Skywalker's hero worship of the man hadn't helped, of course. The way Skywalker talked of his old Jedi master evoked images of untouchable saints, glowing angels, benevolent deities...the same way he talked of those sentients he fancied himself in love with at the height of his relationships with them. Gilded and perfect and infallible. It was the way Skywalker loved, to paint his paramours as idols placed upon a pedestal.
How had Sidious missed that Skywalker had already done the same thing with Kenobi? Years ago! For years, he has endured Skywalker's fanatical praise of his Jedi master. He has listened to him complain about the man, his fastidiousness, his devotion to the Jedi Order--but oh, those moments that Sidious had made the mistake of agreeing with Skywalker's own words! He has never felt closer to losing Skywalker's trust than those times he let a bad word about Kenobi slip past his lips, even though Skywalker himself had already said much more damning things.
And yet no matter the argument, no matter the disagreement between Kenobi and Skywalker, Skywalker's faith in his master did not waver. He never took his master down from that pedestal, no matter how many times Kenobi revealed himself to be just a man.
Sidious has spent years resenting that, resenting Skywalker's unshakeable devotion to his master. He has spent years trying to ingratiate himself to the boy, trying to replace Kenobi as the boy's mentor, his father. And every time he has failed because it seems that no matter how often Kenobi manages to break Skywalker's heart, Skywalker gives it to him again without hesitation.
But...but if Skywalker were to see Kenobi through the lens of a man in love, if they were to fall into bed together and strike up a romance, then surely...surely Kenobi would flinch at the force of Skywalker's naked devotion.

anonymous said : So, Doctor Ratio, as currently the youngest Intelligentsia Guild bachelor, would you care to share your thoughts on marriage with the rest of the universe, both as a concept and as an institution?
⸻ ❝ marriage . . . ❞ his tone peters off , uncharacteristic of the prominent rigidity the scholar was known for.
fingers drift , nestling to pose in thought. this bond , or rather the topic in its entirety , is one veritas had paid a modicum of attention to. crossing it in passing , whether by the individuals he was surrounded by or the novels that entailed this union , was an inevitability. to talk about it , with the firmness he dished related to subjects where expertise was present , would require further readings , further observation and further . . . ah , well , the unsaid latter was yet to come to fruition.
❝ as a concept is a sacred promise between two individuals , often sealed by the exchange of vows. as an institution , it is a legally recognised union between these same individuals , celebrated before a gathering of kin and close ones alike. if deemed unnecessary or unfeasible , paperwork is adequate to proclaim the matrimony between new spouses. ❞ perhaps , these are textbook definitions , but how else does one express an opinion without the rational foundation that the sanctioned relationship is built upon.
and yet , even he — a staple of logic , is aware of the idiosyncrasies that navigate the poetic world.
he purses lips , ruminating over the gravity of deliberating a theme as fundamental as marriage. ❝ to bind yourself to someone , for the remainder of your life , is the greatest declaration. it is an indelible commitment , that will be tested by a myriad of trials and tribulations , to determine the strength of your bond. ❞
how odd. the one word behind this culmination , is absent.
❝ to overcome it together , is to overcome all. ❞
