Alright, I'm gonna say this right now and hope I won't have to repeat myself :
SHIPPING A MINOR AND A GROWN ADULT ISN'T OKAY !!! It's weird, disgusting and I don't get how people think it's okay... Also shipping two adults when one of them basically raised the other isn't okay either (by that I mean a grown adult dating a young adult they basically raised). Here's a list of ships that I find extremely disturbing (and why) (I actually blocked the hashtags of those to avoid seeing disturbing fanfics and fanarts)
WARNINGS : mentions of predators and grooming at the end of this post
- Obikin (Obi-Wan Kenobi & Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars) : this one actually DISGUSTS me on so many levels !
1) Obi-Wan knew Anakin since he was 10 and basically raised him.
2) Anakin said it himself in AOTC that Obi-Wan is the closest thing he has as to father. Pretty weird to ship them romantically if Anakin sees Obi-Wan as a father figure.
3) They're 15 years apart (when Anakin was 19/20 in AOTC, Obi-Wan was 34/35 --> yes, they're both adults at this age but Anakin is still extremely young. A 20 year old shouldn't date someone almost twice their age (the brain isn't fully developed until your mid to late 20s) so we can still be manipulated easily)).
4) Obi-Wan is Anakin's master meaning there's an imbalance of power. Obi-Wan literally has the upper hand on Anakin in terms of power (it's like shipping a teacher and their student).
All in all, shipping Anakin and Obi-Wan is extremely weird and not okay ! --> and the amount of fanarts I came across is, disturbing, to say the least.
- QuiObi (Qui-Gon Jinn & Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars) : This one is pretty similar to what I was saying about Obikin.
1) Qui-Gon knew Obi-Wan since he was a child. And padawans are usually assigned to a master at a young age so we can see it as Qui-Gon raising Obi-Wan.
2) Yes, Obi-Wan may be 25 years old in TPM but Qui-Gon is nearly twice his age (he was 48 years old in TPM) which is extremely weird for me.
3) Just like with Anakin and Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon was Obi-Wan's master. Again, imbalance of power and being in a relationship with someone who's more powerful than you (in terms of ranks : just like a teacher and a student) isn't okay. The other person will find a way to manipulate you to get what they want.
Just like Anakin and Obi-Wan, I don't ship Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.
- Anisoka (Anakin Skywalker & Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars : The Clone Wars) : Another master x padawan relationship... What is it with SOME fans and shipping a Jedi Master with their padawan ?!
1) Anakin and Ahsoka first met when she was FOURTEEN and he was TWENTY ! Just think for a second here : if you are 20 years old, would you be romantically interested in a 14 year old ? I'm 23 and I have NEVER been romantically interested in someone younger than me (I can't even see myself dating someone three years younger than me, let alone someone who's fourteen).
2) This is the third time I'm saying this but, again, imbalance of power ! And in two different ways : first off, Anakin is Ahsoka's master so his rank is higher than hers, second, with Ahsoka being 14 and Anakin being 20, he also holds some sort of power over her as she's still a teenager and he's a young adult.
3) Ashley Eckstein (who voiced Ahsoka) and Matt Lanter (who voiced Anakin) said it themselves that there's NOTHING ROMANTIC between Ahsoka and Anakin !
4) This one may be my personal opinion but Anakin and Ahsoka definitely had a brother/sister type of relationship.
This is probably the ship that disturbs me the most right after Obi-Wan and Anakin, and right before the one I'm gonna talk about next (also lucky me (sarcastic) came across disturbing fanfics and fanarts)
- Rexsoka (Captain Rex & Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: The Clone Wars) : This is probably one of the Ahsoka ships that I've seen the most and I still can't see why people ship them romantically (just like the others)
1) Ahsoka was 14 when they met and Rex was 20 (technically he was 10 but that's not the issue here). So just like with Anakin : there's an imbalance of power in terms of age, and while Ahsoka's rank is above Rex's (she is Commander while he's Captain), that doesn't change anything.
2) Rex, while being older than Ahsoka, always respected her. He always called her 'Commander' even when she wasn't anymore and when he didn't, he nicknamed her 'kid'. Because she's younger than him and was literally a kid when they met.
3) In season 7 (episode 11 if my memory's correct), Ahsoka called Rex her friend ("The Republic couldn't have asked for better soldiers, nor I a better friend"). And I'm sure Rex also saw Ahsoka as his friend.
4) It's obvious that there's no ROMANTIC attraction between them (just like with the other previous ships listed). Also, since Ahsoka was 14 when they met, Rex probably saw her as a little sister (but that's just my opinion)
So... Again, a ship I find extremely disturbing (and lucky me (sarcastic) came across disturbing fanfics and fanarts)
Now, that would be EXTREMELY hypocritical of me to not mention Anidala and HanLeia. i can't say that I 100% support Anidala (Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala from Star Wars) and HanLeia (Han Solo and Leia Organa from Star Wars). While I love both couples, I still find the age gaps quite disturbing.
Anidala : They're just 4 years apart BUT considering he was just 10 when they met (despite not seeing each other between TPM & AOTC so 10 years), it still a bit odd for me that she's shown interest in him (although, I admit it, Anakin couldn't stop flirting with her)
HanLeia : They're probably THE Star Wars ship that everyone knows (even outside of the fandom because of the famous "I love you. I know" line that is referenced in SO MANY movies/tv shows). Now, I also love them (and have been since I was like 6 years old) BUT the 10 year age gap has always been weird for me since she's barely an adult and he's a grown man when they met (she was 19 and he was 29). So, yes I love them BUT the 10 year gap is still weird to me --> again, at 23 years, I don't see myself dating someone who's 10 years older than me.
Do I love both ? Yes.
Do I still find the age gaps disturbing ? Yes.
Do I 100% ship them ? No because of the age gaps.
Now, I'm gonna go with a ship that's NOT from Star Wars but from Winx Club, and I recently found out about it (because I recently started to rewatch it (seasons 1 to 4 only).
- Valtor and Bloom (from Winx Club) : if you don't know what they look like (Winx isn't as famous as Star Wars so not everyone grew up with it), here's what they look like.
Tumblr media
(this gif is literally from their first encounter at the beginning of season 3 (episode 5 I think)
Here are the reasons why it's not okay to ship them and is a disturbing ship :
1) Bloom is only a minor while Valtor is a grown man when they first met (she was only 17 (and not 18 as people claim it as she graduated only between season 3 and 4 so in season 3, she's 17) and he looks like he's in his late 20s but actually was over 1000 years old).
2) Valtor manipulated and tortured Bloom in so many ways ! He kept telling her that he knew what happened to her biological parents when he didn't. He lied to her about it, and multiple times (said that he killed them at first, then said that her parents were inside his body so that she wouldn't kill him). He tried to trick her into forming an alliance with him to fight the Ancestral Witches who created him from the Dragon's Flame (connecting him to Bloom as her powers are related to the Dragon's flame). He also tried to kill her more than once, manipulated her, tortured her, knowing she desperately wanted to know what happened to her biological parents.
3) His obsession with her was extremely disturbing and creepy.
4) Last but not least : he was Bloom's worst enemy.
There are many other disturbing ships within so many fandoms, but these are the ones I keep seeing the most and please reblog this as it's very important to talk about it. And please, tell me if there are any ships from other fandoms that also disturb you.
Another note : Remember that predators/groomers know how to lure their victims into a sick, violent, toxic and twisted 'relationship' by saying "you're mature for your age". There's no such thing as being "mature for your age". It's something predators will use to flatter their victim's ego and manipulate them.
If you still ship them after reading all this, you do you and you can disagree with me if you want (I can't tell you what to do).

What I've noticed about 'Sherlock' fandom here and in other places: people who watched it after 2017 (and therefore didn't have to wait two or three years for each season) understand the authors' message better and are in general more open to such interpretation of the original story by Conan Doyle. Which, again, brings me to the conclusion that 'Sherlock' (and particularly its 4 season) is in a way similar to the 'Star Wars' prequels. When they were released, many self-proclaimed 'true' 'Star Wars' fans were complaining how bad these movies were, but after some time came the new generation of fans, who watched all six movies in order 1-6 and not 4-6 and 1-3, and they became the big fans of the prequels, so the whole perception of these movies changed. So I believe it is what would happen - and, actually, is already happening - to 'Sherlock' too.

The Lightsaber and Anidala
I made a video essay about the symbolism of the lightsaber. While I don't spend the entire video discussing Anidala, their relationship is tied heavily to the significance of the lightsaber and forms the backbone of the video. Therefore, Anidala fans will find a lot to appreciate here.

Tumblr media
Star Wars is a science fiction franchise that has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions of fans around the world. The franchise includes a series of films, books, comics, and video games that explore the adventures of characters set in a sprawling galaxy far, far away.
What I love about the Star Wars movies is the compelling story and rich world-building. The films follow a classic hero's journey, with characters facing incredible challenges and facing the darkness within themselves. The Star Wars universe is full of fascinating creatures, worlds, and technology, which has inspired countless fans to create their own works of art, stories, and cosplay.
The Star Wars franchise has been around since 1977, when the original film was released. Since then, it has become one of the most successful and beloved franchises of all time, with a massive and dedicated fanbase. The films have also been critically acclaimed, winning several Academy Awards and receiving numerous nominations over the years.
In addition to the main films, there are also a number of spin-off films, animated series, and books set within the Star Wars universe. These offer fans the opportunity to explore the world of Star Wars in even more detail, and provide a rich and diverse storytelling experience.
The Star Wars franchise has also had a significant impact on popular culture and has been referenced in countless films, TV shows, and other forms of media. From Darth Vader's iconic breathing to the unforgettable musical score, the elements of Star Wars have become iconic and recognizable to audiences around the world.
Whether you're a fan of the original trilogy, the prequels, or the latest films in the franchise, there is something for everyone in the world of Star Wars. With its compelling story, rich world-building, and memorable characters, it is no wonder that Star Wars has become one of the most beloved and enduring franchises of all time.
