They Superimposed Duel Of The Fates

this is so mean but sometimes i see published writing and suddenly no longer feel insecure about my own writing ability. like well okay that got published so im guessing i dont have much to worry about

Im reading the Ahsoka novel and there is an Anakin flashback chapter where Anakin is thinking about how he has so many conflicting promises and commitments and then it lists, in order 1. Commitment to the Jedi 2. His marriage to Padme, and, 3. His “unspoken but no less important commitment to Obi-Wan” lmao … Ah yes the 3 things in life to be mindful of. Your cult, your wife, and your second, more terrible wife. Your wife and your Taller Wife

I did a redraw of something from April last year, largest issue with it was the technicalities really so I didn't have to change much at all...

ANYWAY! its dead Jason so- blood- bruises- that kinda thing-

AND I'M ON MOBILE AGAIN SO SCREW READ MORE LINES AM I RIGHT?

(I'm bitter)

Anywho.

Old one:

New one.

Final Frontier

[all the Star Wars characters, sitting in a waiting room]  [a clock ticks]  Poe: [leaning forward in his seat, holding his head in his hands] …any idea how much longer they’re gonna make us wait? Leia: [looking at her phone] Not too much longer.  Rey: …anybody get their hands on any spoilers?  [all murmur that they haven’t]  Hux: [listlessly leafing through Fascism Fashion Weekly] I didn’t want to ruin the ending for myself.  Anakin: I tried to read spoilers but Obi-Wan wouldn’t let me.  Obi-Wan: Patience, Anakin. We’ll know everything soon enough.  Ahsoka: [reassuringly] I’m sure everything will be fine, Master.  [silence for a couple of minutes]  Luke: …so anyone got any guesses? Leia: [waving her hand, distracted by a game on her phone] Light side wins, Rebellion victorious, blahblahblah. Same old song and dance. Also my son gets some damn sense knocked into him, probably.  Kylo: [staring at her from his seat, scowling]  Han: They better not call me in there. All I’m saying. I’ve had enough of you people.   Sidious: [so very tired] I said the same thing myself. And now look at me. And all because you fools couldn’t find yourselves a compelling villain to replace me! It’s pathetic. I’m an old man; I should be enjoying my retirement and making the occasional earlier-era appearance in the EU, not resurrecting myself just to teach some fallen Skywalker a lesson about compassion or whatever treacly nonsense again…[takes a sip from a Starbucks cup and sighs] Luke: Hey don’t blame us, we didn’t write any of it! I saw you go down into that reactor, OK? I definitely thought you were dead!  Anakin: Oh, this sucks! [points at Sidious] You were my villain! You ruined my life! You compelled me to aid you in murdering my friends and family, and tormented me for years! And I killed you! [starts crying] It was my redemption arc, Obi-Wan! [wails and buries his face in Obi-Wan’s shirt]  Obi-Wan: I know, I know, there there. It’s still a very good redemption arc, Anakin.  Anakin: [sniffling, face still buried in Obi-Wan’s shirt] Is it better than anybody else’s? In any stories ever? Obi-Wan: I… [rolls his eyes and pats Anakin’s back] Sure, yes, it’s better than anybody else’s. Anakin: [continues crying]    Poe: [annoyed, standing up and gesturing at Finn] Look, all I need to know is, am I gonna get to make out with this man or not?!  Finn: [looks up from his magazine, eyes widening]  Rey: I just don’t know if they’ll let it happen, honestly.  Anakin: [bitterly, sitting in Obi-Wan’s lap with his arms around his neck] Oh, they never make good on the subtext. No matter how much you want them to. Or how hot both of you are. [waves a stack of papers] Or how much people on the internet have already written about it.  Obi-Wan: [raises eyebrows and turns red] [under his breath, warning] Anakin, please. Padme: [not looking up from an iPad she and Luke are huddled over, online shopping] Oh please, Obi-Wan, everyone knows. [to Luke] Yes, those boots for sure. [taps the screen]  Poe: [scoffs] Well, that’s some bullshit! [to Finn] We’re making out in the supplementary materials then, OK? Finn: [opens his mouth to answer] I– Administrative Assistant: [walking in] They’re ready for you. We’ll call in the rest of you if and when needed. [smiles and leads the core ST cast through a door] Rey: [taking a deep breath] All right, everyone. Here goes nothing. [they walk in]  Luke: [yelling after them] Hey, everyone watch your step in there! There’s no railings anywhere in that place!

ok as amazing as Twilight of Apprentice was how funny would it have been if Ahsoka was just beyond done with Anakin’s bullshit™ and just screamed “FUCK OFF SKYGUY” everytime she saw Vader

“The man you knew as Anakin Skywalker is de-”

“Cut the shit, Anakin, I know it’s you. You just flew in standing on top of your TIE fighter and there’s only one fucker in the galaxy who’s that extra”

my mom, turning up “we will rock you”: football babey!

me, internally: straight people think they understand queen which is cute

so i was talking with @evaceratops and may we present….. Jedi Shaming, or, the signs each clone commander (or captain) makes their jedi general (or commander) hold up:

high general kenobi: “i haven’t slept in 72 hours”

general skywalker: “i’ve had 20 near death experiences in the past week”

commander tano: “i contributed to at least half of anakin’s near-death experiences”

high general fisto: “i take any opportunity to strip off my tunics”

high general ti: “i was this close to introducing nala se to the business end of my lightsaber” 

general secura: “i flirt with my commander during important meetings”

general vos: “i am a fucking moron”

high general piell: “i make gods-awful puns about my partial blindness and stature”

high general kenobi, again: “i spent half an hour flirting with the enemy general”

high general plo: “i adopt at least three small children and/or feline creatures per planet”

high general plo, again: “i tried to adopt a gundark”

high general mundi: “i haven’t spoken with my wife in seven weeks and am driving the entire batallion insane because cerea is a warzone and i’m snapping at everyone but not pICKING UP THE DAMN COMMUNICATOR”

high general windu: “i pretend not to pick up on the chancellor’s orders until my former padawan repeats them”

high general yoda: “explain my battle strategies in metaphors, i do”

general unduli: “i believed my padawan when she told me she was fine”

Bruce Wayne: [Laughs Joyfully] THERE SHE IS! HI CASSIE! YOU ARE SO TALENTED!

[Cassandra awkwardly waves her branch arm at her father]

albaparthenicevelut replied to your post: You know, having read Master and Apprentice now, I…

Obi Wan’s first 10 years as a knight are just ‘Please find Master Jinn and Padawan Skywalker and talk them back from the Outer Rim/a hidden fortress/abandoned Jedi Temple/the nearest tall tree.’

Obi Wan hitting bushes and trees on Dagobah with a long stick: “Qui Gon??? Anakin???!! Master Yoda says you have to come back to Coruscant now! Don’t make me erase the taped episodes of Flower of Varykino from your TiVo!!!!”

GOD, yes, you know that Obi-Wan somehow would have ended up even MORE exhausted in this AU. In many ways it’s like he somehow got knighted and then was immediately given two Padawans, one of whom is FULL DAMN OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER.

Anakin’s probably constantly showing up at Obi-Wan’s quarters, eyes as wide as saucers, breathlessly saying his Dramatic Possibly-Last Goodbye to Obi-Wan, because this time Master Jinn is POSITIVE that he’s figured it all out, and they need to go to Ilum and do some ritual he read about on an ancient scroll, and they need to go NOW or this whole Prophecy thing is going to fall apart and the SITH SHALL TRIUMPH OBI-WAN OH MY GOD. Anakin thought Obi-Wan was hard to read sometimes? CAN YOU IMAGINE ANAKIN DEALING WITH QUI-GON AND HIS NON-EXPLANATIONS AND MYSTERIOUS VAGUE STATEMENTS AND SECRET ARCHIVE VISITS THAT HE WON’T TALK TO ANAKIN ABOUT? His poor brain would be scrambled so fast. 

Obi-Wan, half-asleep, is just like “All right Anakin, very well, goodbye then. Please make sure to leave on the homing beacon this time so that I can find you when you both inevitably get trapped in a cave within 24 hours.”
