Queer Obi-Wan >>>>>

Fandom acknowledging queer Obi-Wan >>>>>>>>>

Fandom only acknowledging Obi-Wan's bi identity and ignoring the much more strongly indicated aroace identity <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

#aroace obi wan kenobi #obi wan kenobi #star wars #kay can i just catch my breath for a second #i'm not even sorry #i know it's been a hot minute #but i keep seeing this and it is pissing me off #a lot of fans are being super biphobic which of course is trash and people need to shut up and deal with the fact that he's queer #but the essentially complete erasure of obi-wan's queerness beyond the bi aspect of his identity is incredibly hurtful and infuriating #this is a character that is finally explicitly written to be *like me*. aroace folks do not get that luxury and this is OBI-WAN HIMSELF #don't you DARE take that away from me. i have waited literally my whole life for representation that makes me feel this seen #and the fact that the only thing i ever see about obi-wan being queer is 'he's bi!!! uwu!!' is not ok. he is bi. AND he is aroace #and if you're going purely on the text that canonized this the aroace aspect of his orientation is much more strongly indicated #there's just a lot more focus placed on that aspect during the scene. so i don't understand why his aspec identity is being left out #except for the obvious answer which is that erasing aspec identities and characters has always been way more acceptable than it should be #people would be so much more aware of aspec identities if fandom didn't IMMEDIATELY ignore any canonically aspec characters #obi-wan is a massively popular character. do you know how powerful it would be to have a character at that scale be recognized as aspec??#it would inform so many people and enable conversations for so many more. it would make so many people feel known and seen #that's what representation is for!! that's what the whole thing is about!!! but no bc it's not as easy to explain that way he's just bi #screw that #obi wan is aroace. plain and simple and there's nothing you can do about it. and i would really like to see more people talking about that #again absolutely no problem with obi-wan's bi identity i am also bi and aroace (although i don't typically use that label)#i'm just...so tired of seeing the largest part of my identity (and arguably the larger part of his) completely erased #ughhhhh anyways rant over #kay has a party in the tags #aro #ace #asexual #aromantic #canon aroace characters

Propaganda

James Stewart (It's a Wonderful Life, The Philadelphia Story, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington)—the thing about Jimmy Stewart is that for a weird-enough looking guy, he is yet somehow SO hot and SO believable, ALWAYS. He always plays the same person—he's always, well, Jimmy Stewart—yet that person can be a murderer, a dark cynic, a naive idealist, the boy next door or an old man who knows better, and every one of those is hot. I would jump his bones in a heartbeat

Toshiro Mifune (Rashumon, Seven Samurai, Grand Prix, Stray Dog)—i love and respect my boi tab hunter (rest in peace you beautiful, beautiful man ❤️), but after i watched like 12 of his movies in a row on tcm last year, i ALSO love and respect toshiro mifune, son of a literal actual hatamoto’s (a high-ranking samurai) daughter, also very possibly related to the best judokan EVER, AND, he’s the guy who SHOULD have been obi-wan kenobi. the fact that he’s ALSO hot as hell just adds to his appeal.

This is round 4 of the bracket. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage man.

[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]

James Stewart propaganda:

"Ough I saw him first in It's A Wonderful Life, where he is very charming as a suicidal family man being absolutely crushed by capitalism. But then. The Philadelphia Story, in my opinion, should get the same kind of press The Mummy does for being a bisexual dream. Now I'm not really bi (not into women) and it's honestly up for debate whether i'm attracted to men or not, but COME ON!! The movie stars James Stewart as well as Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn (and Ruth Hussey). Stewart plays a common working man, a journalist, to contrast with Grant's character, who is mega-rich. He is scrappy and hates rich people. Hot! They have a whole scene together where he's super drunk and being really physical with his acting, which I love because he is kinda wet noodle shaped. Hot! He carries Hepburn in his arms while singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow. Hot! He gets punched in the face by Cary Grant. Hot!!! In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence, we get to see him portray an alternative type of masculinity, opposite John Wayne doing John Wayne. He is even more wet noodle-y, to put emphasis on his incompatibility with the rugged masculinity of the cow-boy, he wears an apron for a lot of the film, again, to blur his masculinity, and he gets shot. Hot! Also he's older here, if that's your thing. Long story short: He's giving librarian chic and The Philadelphia Story made me want to be poly."

youtube

“Here he is next to Grant, in what I believe to be a promotional shot for The Philadelphia Story. Please don’t get distracted by Grant (or do, i’m submitting him next).”

“He’s a nice guy and a good guy and deserves all the happiness and joy ever! Classic boy next door/class president kid that everyone loves for real. Stand-up for the Little Guy vibes. With a charming fun side!!”

Toshiro Mifune propaganda:

"In addition, he spoke fluent mandarin and every time he was casted in foreign films, he said his lines in the language of the movie (although they ended up dubbing him. He wasn’t happy about it though).”

Submitted: this gifset

Also submitted: this video (yes, that one)

"Crucial Toshiro Mifune propaganda: THOSE LEGS."

"That is hella muscle. Go watch The Hidden Fortress, aka Star Wars A New Hope. His thighs deserve an award."

THE WAY THIS WAS WOVEN INTO THE STORY WORKS SO WELL. As someone who is aromantic + bisexual/possibly asexual/maybe gray-ace, but who has spent a very long time being “??? I don’t know WHAT I am???” and still has a nebulous feeling of how I’m not 100% settled into what I am, the representation of the queer experience of not having yourself figured out is making me feel seen. It’s part of Obi-Wan’s journey in this book, that he’s at a point where he doesn’t know who he is or what he wants or what he’s meant for, and it’s through his experiences on Lenahra that he comes to understand more about himself, but also that not everything has to be resolved, that it doesn’t just happen once, he’ll be figuring himself out for his entire life, that’s how it works. Again, I feel so very seen. And I love that it’s just a small part of the story, but an important one. Obi-Wan is dealing with a lot of things at the moment, and ultimately his role as a Jedi is the most important thing to him, his relationship with the Force even above that, that he comes to embrace himself first and foremost in this story, it balances the nods to his sexuality while also showing that a fixation on romance has never been the true heart of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s story. His love for the people around him, his love for the entire galaxy, his love for the Force, his love for the Jedi Order, his love for his Jedi friends and his Jedi family, those are front and center in his thoughts even more than anything with romance or sex. That he just doesn’t know if he feels the pull, but he does feel the pull for the Jedi Order. IT JUST WORKS SO WELL. You can read so many different things into Obi-Wan’s murky feelings, so many different directions of bisexuality and asexuality/gray-ace and aromantic/gray-aro/demi and the whole POINT is that he’s figuring it out, but whatever he is, his connections with the people around him are foundational to who he is. You can’t really put him in a single box on this spectrum, only that he’s on it somewhere, and it’s okay to not have a specific point nailed down! It’s okay that maybe he’ll shift along that spectrum throughout his life! As a queer person who will probably be spending my entire life moving around that spectrum without being able to neatly pin myself down, as someone who has always appreciated that Obi-Wan Kenobi’s true love is his Jedi family and his most precious duty to the people around him, that these things can co-exist in harmony with him, as someone who doesn’t prioritize romance in my life, either, I’m ready to cry for how much this means to me. Because it’s great if you have a specific label for yourself, there’s a ton of meaning in that! But there’s also an entire journey to be taken to the place of “I don’t know entirely what I am, but I’m okay with that. I exist in the undefined/nebulously defined spaces. And that place has value to me for being undefined.” ANYWAY JUSTICE FOR US BI/ARO/ACE SPECTRUM PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE OURSELVES FIGURED OUT AND EXIST IN UNDEFINED SPACES AND THOSE ARE PERFECTLY GOOD PLACES TO BE, TOO.

I need to rant about Star Wars making aroace-spec!Obi-Wan canon because this hellsite needs to know what that means to bi/pan-oriented aroaces.

To preface, I have been a huge Obi-Wan fan since long before I realized I myself was bi-oriented aroace.

His understanding of love, especially for Satine, is something that had always resonated with me, and I am sure people like me. I never understood why until I realized it was because I shared those views.

I doubt the initial intention of Satine’s character was to highlight this aspect of Obi-Wan’s, but regardless of what Dave Filoni and other writers involved intended, they created a story that was tailored to the aroace experience. A narrative that exalts and celebrates the nature of our love.

Obi-Wan and Satine are two people who loved each other dearly. We know that they spent a whole year with each other as teenagers. But the beauty of it is that the writers never went far into detail of the nature of their love. How much of it was romantic, sexual, or tertiary attraction.

We do know is that it was a deep love that haunted them ~20 years later. We know they both fantasize about abandoning their duties to be with each other. But in the end they put aside their feeling for each other to prioritize their duties. Not because they thought their love was childish or anything, but because they loved each other so much they couldn’t bear to stand in the way of the other’s dreams.

Obi-Wan always wanted to be a Jedi. As established in the High Republic books, a Jedi cannot prioritize the sake of one person over the rest of the galaxy. He, as a Jedi and according to the belief he had subscribed to all his life, could not put Satine over everyone else. Satine could never put him in a situation where he’d have to make that decision.

Satine had an equally grave, but higher profile responsibility. She needed to fix her broken people and lead Mandalore. That could never be possible if she had a Jedi or even a former-Jedi padawan at her side. Obi-Wan could never jeopardize her dream of a prosperous Mandalore.

And so they parted ways. Because they love each other so much, they want the other to be happy, even if it’s without each other. This is something so inherently aromantic: happiness without needing to be with another person.

And what makes it all the more authentic is how complicated their love is. Because being aromantic or asexual doesn’t make you loveless, just more complicated to express conventionally. They prioritized another commitment over their relationship, but that did not diminish their love for each other. We see it when Obi-Wan goes against the council’s orders and runs blindly and foolishly into a trap to rescue Satine. And when in her dying breath Satine professes she’s always loved him, and she always will. Even after 20 years, their love persists. They bickered and flirted constantly, they were gentle with each other, and they gazed at each other like no one else. It’s subtle yet purposeful, and they both understood the dynamic of their relationship. Once they were kids who fooled around, but now they’ve grown into the people they always hoped to become. They know that because of their decision they could never do that to each other. They could never be together. A mandalorian and a Jedi. But this, for them, is enough.

This is the relationship many aroaces, like myself dream about. Something that is just love. No obligation for the conventional rituals of a relationship. But being comfortable in how we embrace our love and attraction (or lack thereof). This kind of relationship hard to come by in entertainment, especially in huge franchises like Star War. It is messy and complex and just as beautiful as any conventional romantic or sexual relationship. And Star Wars still has yet to realize how enlightened it is for people like me.

I accept that back in the 70s, George Lucas never intended to make. I accept that in creating TCW and Satine, Dave Filoni and co. never meant to write an aroace-coded narrative. Yet the story and character of Obi-Wan Kenobi was one aroaces could immediately identify with. Because his understanding of love is not unrealistic or unattainable. It is real and natural. Valid and reasonable enough for them to anchor it to the iconic and beloved character of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Love the last chapter! was obiwan already interested in men, like I know something was mentioned in the first chapter and of course him mentioning that anakin is handsome, but I wasn't sure if he is aware or ready to have something with anakin or a men?

Thank you so much for this incredible question!

There are a lot of layers here, and while I plan to address a lot of it directly in the fic as we go, some of this will just be there as subtext, so I'm super excited to talk about this.

[read perfect spiral]

Obi-Wan definitely knows he's bi and has acted on his attraction to men throughout his life. He definitely doesn’t pursue men as often as women, and I’d go as far as to say he represses that attraction to some extent but, aside from the typical homophobia in organized sports keeping him in the closet, he has more complicated feelings about the fact that he’s bi than he does about the fact that he is attracted to men.

He carries a lot of shame about the fact that he’s closeted, but whenever he gets close to thinking he might want to come out [Satine often encouraged him to, especially toward the end of their relationship], he always comes to the same conclusion:

What’s the point?

What’s the point in saying “hey! I like dudes!” if he’s just going to turn around and be in a heterosexual relationship? The queer community deserves someone who actually represents them, and Obi-Wan has convinced himself many times that he cannot be that person.

[he’s an idiot, obviously, but that’s how he sees it]

Now, as far as if he’s ready to have something with Anakin??

No.

At least not where we left off in the last chapter.

Right now in the story, Obi-Wan is at the point where he’s willing to admit to himself that he finds Anakin attractive, but he hasn’t realized that he is attracted to Anakin yet, and he certainly hasn't realized that Anakin is attracted to him.

I also want to mention that Anakin is a completely different ballgame for Obi-Wan— it’s not the fact that he’s a man that is the biggest burier between them, it’s that they are teammates. That is a forbidden line that they both struggle with. This is a point I really really want to make clear in this fic, these two do not go around ogling other players. For both of them, football and sex are two completely different facets of their lives, and this blurring of lines is the biggest issue with them getting together. There’s this horrible notion that a queer man in a locker room wouldn’t be able to control himself, and that is just simply not the case.

This isn’t lust at first communal shower.

Whatever is going on between these two idiots is just something else entirely.

Anyway, now that I’ve turned your lovely ask into an essay, I hope I answered your question!

I am having the best time writing this story and everyone’s thoughts and questions have really been helping me to make the world so much richer. Please keep the thoughts coming, I would love to hear from you 🖤

Today is the 1st day of prideeeeee!! So we're gonna talk about sexualities/relationships to expect and stuff for the Not The Tea Au!

Let's start with Boba! (My baby) Boba is aroace! When Boba first came to terms with that he freaked out, a tad terrified before Rex just gave him a look and bluntly informed him that he had to have gotten it from somewhere. After that, Boba confided in his father to which Jango told him that he didnt care, and all that he wanted was his baby loved. Hower he got that love didn’t matter. That being said, Boba has no romantic love interest. (Obvi) He does indeed have a platonic soulmate though! (a few tbh) Who? None other than his number 1 fan, ride or die, best friend Fennec, of course! He and Fennec are very close, and have see each other through thick and thin. If something were wrong? These two have each other on speed dial. (She teases him about the brief time he dated Han and asks him if that turned him aro. She knows that's not how that works, but it's still funny.)

The asexual train leads us tooo- Jango Fett! (the love of my life) While Jango is not aromatic, his view on love has always been

"If it happens its happens, if it doesn't that's fine."

He was raised by a single father, and doesn't remember all that much about his biological parents or their relationship. (They were great loving parents, just fyi! Arla talks about them and tells him stories) So he's never been the most concerned with finding his forever person. (Romantically he's interested in just about anyone gender wise) That in mind, he's always wanted kids. (Mando genes) But, relationships are tricky things, and finding a partner to settle down with was iffy sooo....He took matters into his own hands. (Jaster STILL isn't quite sure where Cody, Rex and Boba came from. And at this point, he's too afraid to ask) When Jango meets Obi-Wan for the first time...its not exactly love at first sight but he definitely found the man intriguing. It was never more than a crush, though. And then, about a year later, life hit the Fett household like a train and well...romancing Cody's teacher was the LEAST of Jango's worries. Once everything settled down though, and realizing just how much of a help during this time Obi was, and how amazing and loving he was with the kids well, let's just say that crush was a tad more than a crush.

Tgats our segway into Obi, our Bisexual king. Similar to Jango, Obi developed the slightest crush on the man upon meeting him. All in all though, his focus was on his students and getting to know them! He already knew a little about Cody simply because Ahsoka and Rex are best friends, but getting to know the family on a more personal level was nice. When tragedy struck, Obi-Wan offered a his help in anyway he could, trying his hardest to try to make sure Cody wasn't overworked with school. After all of it died down, Obi-Wan found himself getting to know this family more and more and it's safe to assume that it developed into more than a crush.

Padme, Anakin, and Rex are all also bisexual.

Han identifies as unlabled. He likes who he likes.

Din is Demisexual. (He and Cobb do eventually end up together raising Grogu)

Fennec is bi with a heavy female lean.

Cody Echo, and Cobb are all gay.

Fives, and Ahsoka are pansexual. (And Lando but he doesn't have a bit role in the story)

Fox's sexuality is 'sleep & coffee' (he doesn't label himself and he's not exactly looking for a relationship but he's into both men and woman)

Alpha-17 is AroAce just like Boba.

I've been drawing more of this au (hopefully I'll post some soon!) and I have some scenes written/plenty of scene ideas it's just a matter of putting pen to paper. (Or fingers to keyboard in this case) Hopefully I'll post again soon, and I'm glad to see people enjoy this au as much as I do^^

No More Running

Part 2 -> Join Me

Warnings: obi wan episode 3 spoilers, mentions of Order 66, mention of character death, let me know if I missed any :)

Pairings: Obi-Wan x reader platonic, Anakin Skywalker x sister reader

Request: obi wan kenobi w a gn teen padawan reader who he thought was killed in order 66, but then they reunite and it’s just really fluffy and cute maybe you could make them a skywalker somehow ?? if you can’t work it don’t worry about that, love your stories btw!

(I hope this is what you were looking for! If not I’m sorry and just lmk and I’ll try to fix it!!)

Request by: @thekaibabes

*not my gif*

Summary: Afrer Order 66, Obi-Wan never thought that he would see people from his past. From his time as a Jedi Knight

A/N: This is short and really bad- I’m exhausted but I felt like I needed to write something

Please don’t plagiarize my work, you may reblog if you like but I’m asking that you don’t steal my hard work

Tala briefly glanced over her shoulder, carefully looking to make sure nobody had spotted the man and young girl come in, before jamming the button for the door shut, letting out a small breath of relief as she did so.

She turned around to see Ben and Leia looking from side to side curiously, and she couldn’t help the small and sad smile that made its way onto her face.

The two reminded her of all the others that had passed through before them, the ones that were exactly the same as the older man. Hesitant, and refusing to let hope shine through. Hope that he could actually have a chance.

She observed the way he kept a close eye on the young girl, as if she were his own, but Tala knew better. She knew that though the man clearly cared deeply for her, he was no father of hers.

But the look in his eyes also told her that he had experience being almost like a father before. And under different circumstances Tala would have asked him about it out of pure curiosity, but they were in pressing times and the longer they waited, the more endangered the two would become.

Shaking the thoughts, she snapped herself out of her daze as she strode forward and over to where the hidden lever was to lead them into the equally as hidden room.

Right before going in she hesitated, remembering a small detail as she turned back to the eagerly awaiting duo.

“There is one more thing, though.” She saw the way Ben’s features became guarded once more and the way his hand subconsciously reached for Leia's shoulder, before quickly continuing, “There’s another Jedi on the other side of this door.”

Ben stiffened and dropped his hand as the young girl's eyes just became wide with a mixture of excitement and amazement, “You mean there’s another one?” Her voice held such awe that Tala almost chuckled.

She hummed in return, “Yes, and if you don’t mind, she will be joining you to the ship and then going her separate way afterwards.”

When Ben didn’t respond, Leia rolled her eyes slightly and elbowed him in the stomach, crossing her arms and began talking for him, “That’s totally fine! I’ve always wanted to meet a girl Jedi anyway!”

This caused Tala to smile slightly before pushing the door open, revealing a small yet useful looking room.

The lady stepped in first, followed by the young girl, and then Obi-Wan, and the first thing his eyes landed on was you.

You had grown up since the last time he had seen you. You had become taller, and more mature looking. Your hair was slightly longer with a different cut, and your eyes held a wiseness that had never been there before.

“Y/n.” He breathed out in shock, coming to a halt in his tracks as his eyes widened in disbelief and mouth parted slightly.

You, looking equally as startled, started right back, “Obi-Wan.” Your voice shook a bit as you looked at the man you once knew as if he were a total stranger.

When you were young, you and your brother had been taken from your home planet on Tatooine in hopes of a better life with the Jedi.

It was very rare for there to be younglings with bonds before the Jedi, let alone an older brother and a little sister. Anakin and Y/n Skywalker.

The two of you were known for years throughout the galaxy as the most unstoppable Jedi duo to ever live, that was when you were allowed to actually work together. Wherever the two of you went, chaos ensued, but you always did get the job done. Eventually.

With Anakin being older than you, he was able to become a padawan learner far before you, but you soon enough joined- at a young age nonetheless- and became Obi-Wan Kenobi’s second student.

You and your brother were seen as lab rats to the Jedi council, the two siblings with a connection, one that they had always considered dangerous. But if the two of you were able to handle it, then just maybe they would explore the idea more of force-sensitive siblings.

But it did not go well. And you two were not able to handle it. The future ended up proving that.

When Order 66 happened, you had been sent on your first mission away from your master, with a small group of five trained clones and you six had been tasked to map out a new planet.

You had barely managed to escape with your life when they turned on you, and when you tried to contact the Jedi temple, you had heard the news of it happening everywhere to everybody.

Your mind had automatically gone to the worst place when your master and brother didn’t answer any of your comms, and you knew that they were gone.

Though you had been raised your entire life hearing that Jedi weren’t supposed to form attachments, in that moment you didn’t care. You had broken down and grieved.

From that moment on, a darkness slowly crept through your being, swallowing you whole in the most painful way possible, taking its sweet time and allowing you to suffer for as long as possible.

The next ten years of your life were spent on the run, jumping from planet to planet, never staying in the same place for any longer than three rotations in fear of getting caught.

You didn’t know what else you could have done. The only thing that you felt that you had known how to do all those years ago was run. And that’s what you did. You ran and ran and ran and ran. Never once slowing long enough to come to a full stop.

You felt all the words escape your mouth as your throat went dry at the sight of your old master.

Instead, without even thinking, you sprinted forward as fast as you could and leapt into his arms, refusing to let the small sob escape from between your lips.

“You’re alive.” You heard him whisper in utter shock. “I thought after everything-“ He broke off, choking on his own tears.

He didn’t need to finish his sentence for you to know what he was saying as you nodded against his shoulder, sniffing slightly, “Me too.” You whispered.

Tala and Leia had been kind enough to give the two of you a moment alone, instead moving wordlessly across the room and sitting down to observe some random scrolls laying around.

You finally pulled away, studying him as he did the same to you, “How did you-“ You both said in sync, cutting off with small chuckles.

“We have a lot to talk about.” You finally said, to which he nodded his head in agreement.

“But not right now,” He said, glancing over at Leia, “Right now we need to get out of here.”

As he watched you turn curiously to the young girl, he couldn’t help it when his breath caught in the back of his throat.

While Leia slightly resembled her mother, her other features complemented those of her father. And those of yours.

You now looked so similar to how Anakin had before Order 66, that Obi-Wan couldn’t help but let tears once again fill his eyes.

The guilt that he had spent years trying to push down began bubbling back up in his stomach again as he looked over at you.

He had killed your brother and you didn’t even know.

You on the other hand, for the first time in ten years finally felt that darkness that had been eating away inside of you slowly melt away. As if the curtains had been opened and light began to stream in.

You were finally back with someone you thought was long dead, someone you knew cared about you just as much as you cared about him.

For the first time in a long time you were beginning to feel okay again. Now you knew there would be no more running.

I always saw Obi-Wan as an asexual kind of guy. Maybe that's because I'm old enough to remember when we only had the OT and he was already old. And dead for most of it. Anyway, part of why I love Star Wars is the emphasis on friendships and how strong and rewarding they can be without romantic feelings (although Han/Leia was my first ship). May we all have such people in our lives. All interpretations are valid of course and people love what they love, just wanted to share another point of view!

I mean, that's basically how I also envision him: my "Obi-Wan Kenobi as queer text" meta described my personal headcanon of him as biromantic asexual, and that's what the other post seemed to be hinting at in: re whatever they put in the book. After all, remember kids, ignore the exclusionists: asexuality is a full and complete queer identity on its own, and doesn't need other modifiers or qualifiers to be considered legitimate. So yeah. But as I said, he has radiated such intense bisexual sass disaster energy for the longest time, and I am frankly shocked that the Disney overlords allowed even a single sentence in a YA book that might hint at confirming this. To be honest, I don't care one way or another what the Mouse says about anything, particularly SW canon, since I reject what they have done with most of it. But hey. It's nice to have anyway.

As I also mentioned in the tags, Obi-Wan is a particularly formative character for me as a queer adult, since some of my first-ever forays into fandom, fic, and slash came as a result of reading TPM-era fics with him back in the dark days, with badly designed Web pages and SLASH!! content warnings. I imprinted on him as queer long before I knew what that was either for him or for me, and so I have a certain nostalgic perspective on it. (Also, nobody could read the Revenge of the Sith novelization in 2005, come out totally emotionally destroyed, and go, "yeah, Obi-Wan is totally straight." Even if I didn't, again, actually consciously realize this at the time.)

Likewise, Obi-Wan's appearance in the original trilogy has always fit the "celibate or asexual wise-old-mentor" stereotype, who exists mostly to guide the hero but doesn't have particular passions or motivations of his own. Then they cast Ewan McGregor as the younger version of him, and Ewan McGregor is likewise very attractive. But then in prequel-verse, all of Obi-Wan's most formative and important emotional relationships were with men (Qui-Gon, Bail Organa, etc) and then, of course, Anakin and the "it's a love story" Obi-Wan Kenobi series. So the more canon we got past just Alec Guinness, the more intensely Obi-Wan read as queer to me. The man cannot even sit straight (see his pose in the Council seat in ROTS), drops his cloaks with utter drama, sasses people, and is the utter opposite of toxic masculinity. He just has Big Queer Energy, in other words, and I felt it for a long time before I was able to properly name it in either him or myself.

Indeed, Obi-Wan would read pretty clearly as gay to me, except for the fact that they apparently added in some pseudo-girlfriend in the Clone Wars animated series and other assorted female interests in the expanded-universe books. Which, quite frankly, can't help but sound like "welp, this famous and beloved character is TOO queer-coded, better add in some comphet to tone that down." However, aside from my personal attachment to queer Obi-Wan, there's another aspect to it which I think is touching and important, and that is the fact that Luke is also often headcanoned as queer/gay/bi of some description (which Mark Hamill has enthusiastically supported). Considering that the original trilogy came out in the late '70s and early '80s, just as we were losing what should have been our entire generation of gay/queer ancestors to AIDS, I would find it very lovely if Luke, a queer man, was being mentored by Obi-Wan, his queer elder, in a way that we were so often denied the chance to have in reality. So yes. There are a lot of layers to it, in my view, and as I said, I don't care whether they bother to put one sentence in an EU book or not. The heart knows what it knows. Ahem. ;)

#if he can’t win the argument for a long engagement he’ll win the argument of the long ‘time i don’t really tell anyone about our marriage’

My Top Posts in 2022:

au where anakin has been the Kenobis’ pool boy every summer since he was in high school and the summer before his final year of college, he starts work as normal but the Kenobis have a very messy divorce in July which means he hears a lot of it while he’s working on the pool. It also means he knows when Satine leaves and he knows when it’s for good. He comes into the house to tell Obi-Wan that he’s leaving for the night if he doesn’t need anything else from him (he has to say something) and obi-wan is drinking tersely but the unlit fireplace, and he’s says something like “what do I do with all the angry words I never told her?”

and anakin, who has had a summer crush on his hot rich older boss for years now is like “well if she left any old clothes, we can dress me up, you can pretend I’m her and tell me them!”

(a normal thing to suggest)

and obi-wan, who has always let his eyes linger on Anakin’s form longer than he probably should considering his marriage, is like “don’t be ridiculous. If you want pretty things, I’ll get you your own.”

(a normal thing to respond with)

au where obi-wan and anakin spent most of the war in a strange friends/brothers in arms with benefits and after the war ends, they talk it out and admit they’re in love with each other and agree to be in an exclusive relationship

but then after a few months, obi-wan finds himself in the strange place of….wanting sex? But not having sex? Anakin is completely content with cuddling and gentle kisses and spooning, which is strange because he always initiated sex during the war. Has obi-wan gotten too old? Too unattractive? He knows Anakin loves him, but would he be guilting him into sex if he asked why they stopped? Why they haven’t gone past more than heavy petting in a while?

If Anakin doesn’t want to have sex with Obi-Wan, that’s fine. It’s not the most important part of a relationship for him. They’re connected mind and soul, Obi-Wan doesn’t need them to be connected body as well. He just. Wants to know. If he did something or if he’s not—what Anakin wants. Was it all just post-battle adrenaline?

Finally he asks Anakin about it— “Anakin, darling, would you like to have sex with me tonight?” over boiled peas in the mess hall— and Anakin is like “Sure!”

and obi-wan tosses up his hands like “ok what is going on?? We used to have sex all the time—do you not want it? Are you humoring me? What changed?”

and anakin shrugs happily and is like “well now you’re my lover and you’re contractually obligated to give me cuddles whenever I want them. Before, to get you to touch me, we had to have sex first, which I really enjoyed btw, every position, but not as much as I liked when you held me after or when I got to hold you! Now you hold my hand when we walk around the Temple gardens! Unprompted!”

And Obi-Wan has to deal with the fact that even though he’s sixteen years older and has a 23 year old lover, he’s the hornier of the two.

I always think that obikin (and Star Wars in general) fics are full of stuff that could never happen in canon but I just watched an episode of the clone wars in which anakin and obi-wan pay Hondo to illegally bring firearms to Ahsoka to help rebels fight separatists (most likely behind the council’s back), then obi-wan calls her ‘our padawan’ and Anakin is so used to it that he has no reaction x) And the two of them are together almost the entire episode for seemingly no reason except that they want to be (seriously, there’s a war going on, shouldn’t they do something more than hang out together and holocall ahsoka ? Are both of them (plus ahsoka) really needed at a rebel’s funeral? They’re like a married couple that always does everything together)

obi-wan: wait i'm confused

the jedi council: what's confusing. you fake your death and go undercover as the bounty hunter that killed you so you can uncover a plot to kill the chancellor and save his life instead. what is the confusing part.

obi-wan: what is anakin's part in this?

the jedi council: so he's going to be mourning your death to really sell it.

obi-wan: oh and then he's going to fake his death as well so we can go under cover together. i see now.

the jedi council: no he won't. this is a solo mission.

obi-wan: yes solo with anakin.

the jedi council: no, no anakin. solo. independent. separate. one-man mission.

obi-wan:

obi-wan: wait i'm confused

au where everything is sorta the same in the phantom menace, but it's role reversal, so it's stewjon and not tatooine that they crash on, and it's baby obi-wan that padawan skywalker and his master qui-gon jinn find.

baby obi-wan isn't the chosen one or anything, but he's this pure beacon of Light in the Force, old and untrained as he is, and that's attracted a ton of different Force sensitives to the area---both Light and Dark. qui-gon tells baby obi-wan that he'll take him to the Temple for training if he wants, and obi-wan agrees only for qui-gon to be killed by a sith there who has also been drawn to obi-wan's Light.

that's not important though because anakin absolutely hacks the sith to pieces for killing his master (and baby obi-wan, who is kneeling by qui-gon's body and holding his big hand in his baby ones, is terrified that he'll be next when anakin turns around, covered in blood) and qui-gon tells obi-wan to make sure anakin trains him and anakin, sorta mad with grief and loss, is like 'fuck that,' but he does take him back to the temple, gives him to the council and then fucks off on a deep cover mission for like ten years so he doesn't have to even think about the brat who caused the death of his father-master.

meanwhile though, obi-wan's new master thinks he's much too strongly stewjoni to be trained, but he does try for a few years before giving up, trading him to another master etc etc until obi-wan leaves the order all together when he's sixteen to get into stewjoni politics.

so when anakin comes back from his mission, he's shocked to find that obi-wan is not where he left him and is now a senator's aide, resulting in him storming to the senate building and pulling obi-wan (roughly) aside, accusing him of ignoring qui-gon's dying wish for him to be a jedi

and obi-wan, who has grown up nursing a hurt and hatred for this jedi in particular, rips his arm away and is like 'actually master jinn's dying wish was for you to train me so you ignored it first.'

My #1 post of 2022

au where obi-wan is a young, up and coming galactic senator from Stewjon and he gets special permission to access the Jedi Temple Archives because he looks very polite. Meanwhile, Anakin is a feral desert child still who is very protective of his new home and he sees a stranger in his home so he goes into attack mode.

Later after obi-wan gets anakin off of him (and stems his bleeding from several different bite marks), he’s like “I showed you my visitors badge??” And Anakin sniffs and is like “well I can’t read basic yet! That could say anything!!”

And so obi-wan finds himself going to the Temple much more than planned that year in order to teach this baby how to read (and quickly nip his “actually dictators are cool and the best system of governance” thoughts in the bud)

Culminating in Senator Obi-Wan needing a Jedi escort and thinking of Anakin first, only to be very surprised when the stubborn and knobby-kneed 9 year old he met all those years ago has turned into a very attractive and solemn young man who is very passionate about keeping obi-wan safe (and marking him all up with a different kind of bite mark all together)

Melinoe Lanami (Darth Viveza) / CC-2224 | Cody

“You fascinate me, Cody,” Viveza said. Resting her chin on her hands.

“Why?”

“You must quite the mental fortitude to spend so much time with Kenobi without going insane.” Viveza smirked.

There was something in Viveza’s tone that made Cody let out a burst of laughter. He was expecting another mystery comment. Not a genuine joke.

So very much huge update! Melinoe's love interest won't be Obi Wan anymore. I realised recently that I just have no interest in Melinoe and Obi as a couple (literally look at my asks for them, and I always answer something along the lines of "I haven't developed this, or I need to develop it more").

I'm feeling much more optimistic towards a relationship between Cody and Melinoe. Maybe it will all go horribly wrong or I'll be really proud of it, but I'll have to wait and see.

That's so sad that some Star wars fans are so closed minded about characters being LGBTQ+ especially if it's there fave or find attractive

With that being said Obi-wan is Bisexual and is in a poly relationship with Cody and Satine fight me on this

Also unpopular opinion Padme was way too good enough for Anakin and they should have divorced there are WAAAY better people out there for her who won't force choke her and that she could be seen in public

And Fives is 100% Bisexual he seems to be the type to radiant I could fuck you and yoir current BF lol

Rex is Demi for sure he doesn't seem like the type to pursue someone based on looks but truly be friends with them first before he starts to develop feelings

I feel like the 501s and the bad batch would have been close if it wasn't for the batches prejudice against regs and if the 501s teasing

Hehe, I know "Codywan" is such a popular ship, and including Satine is a natural extension due to it actually being canon. I don't find it as interesting as other ship dynamics, but it could be fun. I guess I wonder, what would the dynamic be like between Cody and Satine? We see their relationships with Obi Wan focused on a lot in fanfic, but what about their own relationship with each other? 🤔

And is Padme being too good for Anakin an unpopular opinion? Lol. I've always believed that. Even when other stories try to flesh out Padme as a character (like the E.K. Johnston books), it still doesn't quite pinpoint why Padme - in all her strength, cleverness, sensitivity, and passion - would ever be with him? At least not in a way that's satisfying.

Yep, Bi Fives, Demi Rex, all good stuff. Attraction and love are such complex things, even clones of the same person would end up so varied in their experiences with it.

I really, really, want to see more of the 501st and Bad Batch interacting. We got some of it in TCW S7, but not nearly as much as I want 😂 I think there's a way they could get along, but it'd be a long road of bickering, teasing, and shenanigans. It reminds me of like, Cheaper by the Dozen. Two families, children raised differently, but now they have to come together into one united family, and I just... I love the thought so much 😅
