This Wasn't The Three Peter Parker Hugging For Me

Okay, but following Obi-Wan’s apparent return from the dead after the Crisis on Naboo arc, I like to believe that younglings and padawans across the Temple were just like, “Yeah, death had a near-Obi-Wan Kenobi experience,” and then rolled with it.

“Obi-Wan Kenobi doesn’t cheat death. He wins fair and square.”

“General Grievous checks his closet every night for Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

“Obi-Wan Kenobi once played Corellian roulette with a fully-loaded sniper rifle and won.”

“Obi-Wan Kenobi was once bitten by a acklay and after five days of excruciating pain, the acklay died.”

Then somehow the clones heard about it and it went downhill from there.

the way jordie haunts the narrative truly haunts me. the way he carried kaz to shore, the way he demands to be remembered. the way he drives kaz's plans and schemes and has woven his way into the platform that kaz brekker has built for himself.

the way jordie has kept kaz afloat for years. but the way he's also kept kaz in the water for years. the way kaz has been kicking and kicking toward the moment of recompense and revenge, his hands never leaving jordie. his kickboard, his lighthouse, the thing keeping him alive and the thing keeping him half in the grave, dragging him down as much as he's guiding him.

the way jordie was once a light for kaz, the way kaz has found light in inej. the way inej is the reason kaz didn't drown in fjerda, the reason to keep swimming, the reason to live. the way jordie was once a brother for kaz, the way kaz has found a brother in jesper. the way jesper is someone for kaz to protect and to forgive, and the way he's more capable of doing so now.

the way jordie is avenged by kaz, but the way that isn't where the story ends. kaz destroying pekka isn't it. it doesn't have to be it anymore. because everything that jordie was to kaz, everything he's clung to, he's found elsewhere. and yes, he still has to learn to take his hands off his brother, but there are reasons to now, there are reasons to climb out of that water. to forgive, to move on, to learn to forget in moments when remembering does nothing but drag him down.

the way jordie is, in so many ways, what holds this story together. the way kaz no longer needing him or his ghost is what sets the story free. is what sets jordie free.

I have been saving this since last year. Happy Earth Day everyone.

Notice: not only do your friends actually like you, they secretly like you twice as much as they let on

wakanda forever honestly reminded me of how good a marvel movie can be when they create character-driven stories instead of focusing on unfunny jokes and repetitive action sequences

legolas is such an important character to me because of how at a surface level when you first watch the movies you see him as this aloof mystical tactical elf-prince but then when you really start getting into his lore you realise he’s essentially just some homeschooled kid from the middle of nowhere who applied to a huge university in the big city to get away from home and is genuinely baffled at everything he sees and people assume his confusion is him being mysterious when in reality half the time he’s just trying to process what the hell is going on

reconnecting with my room after being around other people for too long

mutual pining fanfic is the best fanfic simply because it requires the characters to be at their most romantic and the height of their stupidity at all times

#yes #whatever this is i like it
