Obi Wan Kenobi x Reader

Summary: Obi Wan finds out you have been hiding a secret from him for a few years.

Word count: 1.5k

You did not know how long it had been since you were in the Jedi Temple. About 5 years or so. You did not wish to return and yet here you were. The famed Jedi Master, who had been cast out, was now back.

You sighed as you walked through the halls, ignoring the looks you got. No one questioned you, they knew you had been asked to come back. But you refused. After you were cast out, you moved to a far off planet. A peaceful one and settled down. A year later, a knock came to your door.

Opening it, you found your old master there. “Kit” you greeted the man who smiled back at you. Looking behind him to see Windu and Master Yoda. You sighed and opened the door. Walking away from it, there was no point in inviting them in. They would come anyway. No point in turning them away, they would still make there way in. You leaned against your counter as the men sat at your table. Waiting for them to speak.

“I believe, an apology is owed to you” Windu started, you replied in a scoff. Blowing air from your nose and shaking your head. “You did not trade secrets… You did not break the code” Windu sighed, looking to Kit for help. “We are sorry” Kit said, looking to you. Hoping you would give him your famous smile and accept the apology. “What’s made you change your mind” was all you replied with.

Baby Yoda in THE MANDALORIAN 2x04 — Chapter 12: The Siege

Oh dear lord... thank you so much for posting this, I'm not the only one who thinks this way. It drives me nuts that pop culture will set a show/movie/book (well, maybe book(s), not entirely sure on that one,) in Ancient Greece, or maybe will just use the Greek names of the Gods, but Heracles will be called Hercules.

I also appreciate that you pointed out how the Greeks also used syncretism

Listen, this is a very specific topic to be iffy about, but for your knowledge, the Roman gods are not the Greek gods.

The Romans were big on syncretism (the combination of different forms of belief or intellectual thought) and the adoption of foreign gods. The Greek deities were known since very early periods via the Etruscan culture, which was heavily influenced by Greece since the middle of the 8th century BC because of trade routes as well as the Greek cultural potential and would come to be completely engulfed around the third century BC with the Roman-Etruscan wars, but just like you’d see the Romans claiming the Germanic tribes worshipped their own gods under different names (the Germania by Roman historian Tacitus, written around 98 AD), the same happened here, and the fusion wasn’t 100% accurate.

While in the case of Zeus and Jupiter, for example, it worked well, Venus is far more motherly and political than Aphrodite (as Mars is the Father of Rome via the myth of Romulus and Remus, Venus is Venus Genetrix, Venus the Mother, and the only time you’ll see Aphrodite being motherly is in… the Aeneid, a distinctively Roman piece), Mars is an agricultural god as well as the god of war and has way more political connotations than Ares (he was a member of the archaic Capitoline Triad), Mercury is far more linked with commerce than the more pastoral Hermes, and the list goes on. Apollo was imported directly and very early (a temple for him, the Temple of Apollo Sosianus, was erected in the city of Rome as early as 431 BC), thus keeping the name but undergoing a very distinct Romanization of his attributes and worship. Janus, Quirinus and Terminus were very important Roman gods which had no Greek equivalent.

Isis, for example, was worshipped as herself, equated with a number of deities in both the Greek and the Roman worlds and some of her methods of worship and symbolism were associated with the Virgin Mary. It’s a far more complicated scenario, babes, especially when you consider Alexander’s conquests and the expansion of Hellenistic culture as well as its contact with many other cultures.

Syncretism is way more complicated than “the Romans just stole the Greek gods and gave them different names, the uncreative fucks”. The traditional date for Rome’s foundation is 753 BC and the Western Roman Empire would last until 436 AD. That’s over a thousand years of conquest, trade and growing and shrinking territories, and none of these factors are likely to leave a religion unaltered.

Besides, the practice of religious syncretism is way older and more common than you’d expect. The Akkadians did it to Summerian deities a few thousand years before this especially after the conquest of Sargon of Akkad in 2340 BC (“Mesopotamia: the Sumerians”. Washington State University). The Greeks were doing much the same with the Roman pantheon itself (Dionysus of Halicarnassus and Plutarch use Greek names for Roman cult), with the Egyptian pantheon and with the Scythian pantheon (Herodotus in both cases, though the associations would outlive him, such as the case of Zeus/Amon).

So, no the Roman gods aren’t the plagiarized versions of the Greek gods, and I could defend this in front of a jury.

I had a thought! When the piglets are still little, Jack would totally get one of those basket-style strollers and take them for walks that way... just imagining people coming up to see, expecting a baby and being met with piglets 😂

Yes!! He already takes a lot of walks with Miss Daisy, so it’s only natural for him to start taking the babies out early too. He’ll pile ‘em all into a stroller and just push ‘em around the neighborhood while Miss Daisy waddles along with him. Of course, some folks who didn’t know Jack as well definitely came up to the stroller thinking there was a HUMAN baby inside, only to be... VERY surprised at the gaggle of piglets wigglin’ around in there.

Not generally, but now I do

Do you ever think about how many of the items now considered priceless artifacts were once commonplace items? The coins we now marvel at from behind the glass at a museum were once tossed around, stepped on, and traded around. The pottery painstakingly pieced back together was somebody’s favorite wine jug. The decorative pin now rusted and bent once held together the shoulder of someone’s chiton. History is simply a trail of ordinary people going about their day, and I think there’s an odd sort of beauty in that.

good evening friends this is a psa that i am massively in love with javier peña

literally just sitting here eating lunch and i thought about pedro looking up at you for a second after eating you out for soooo long and you’re literally dripping off his chin and he has the most shit eating grin on his face, but also it’s lowkey heart eyes as he watches you take strained breaths and toss your head from side to side, your hand gripping his forearm to ground yourself while he puts in WORK making your pussy feel like a shooting star 👀 i know that man lives to eat it i just know

PEDRO EATS PUSSY LIKE A GOD PASS IT ON
