hello, today i’m here to talk about the effect that obi-wan has on people, like there is something about him that everyone in star wars universe just loves, whenever it’s in a good or bad way.
you go back to prequels and the clone wars and obi-wan is just everyone’s favorite. the animals, the kids, he walks into a village and people just trust him that he will do his best for them. ironically, even the villains are just soft for obi-wan (dooku, ventress) to the point they are just obsessed with him (maul, grievous, vader, reva)
i mean, you can write this to the way obi-wan looks and the way he walks and talks, he is master jedi but that doesn’t apply for the kenobi series and yet - haja walks to the inquisitor, when he knows reva can just easily kill him, and stalls for time. tala throws her cover away without a second thought for him. leia, the 10yo that knows him for like a day, says “bring him back” and walks alone into the dark tunel.
at this point obi-wan looks like an unwashed rat. he is grumpy dad, his hands are shaky with the lightsaber and he is just…sad. but people that know him for five minutes, still do crazy sh*t for him. well, it’s because obi-wan is the light. he is the light in leia’s analogy about being afraid of the dark. he feels safe and trustworthy in very unsafe and distrustful world. people fall for that.
notice that the only person in the galaxy that never cared for obi-wan, that ignored him and dismissed him as unimportant, was sidious. the exact opposite of everything that obi-wan represents.
Me: The Kenobi series comes out in a month.
The well intentioned fool I roped into this conversation: Oh? That’s cool. Are you excited?
Me: Loads. He’s my favorite character in the franchise and basically all of fiction. I’ve been waiting for this show for a decade.
Them: That’s exciting for you! It makes sense to be excited. Is there anyway you’re looking forward to?
Me: Emotional devastation mostly.
Them: But with a happy ending I’m sure.
Me: Nope.
Them: But don’t you want nice things for your favorite character?
Me: Nah...I hope he’s absolutely traumatized in the series. More trauma than anyone can be expected to endure. Infinite sadness...you get it.
Them: No. I don’t think I do. I don’t think anyone does...to be clear this is your favorite character?
Me: Oh absolutely. Number 1 comfort character actually.
Them:
Them:
Them:
Them: ...would you like me to call someone?
Don't be afraid, for in a thousand years,
in any version of reality,
I'll find you,
And I'll always be there
My favorite actor in this picture is the one who has also played a beleaguered dad named Joel who gets in way over his head dealing with zombies
And he's so real for that
All I'm saying is Jayce Talis is a bisexual polyamorous man who has a type and that type is just, Higher Beings. His type is just Jesus Christ. Bro straight up wants to fuck God

Hi, do you have any fortune teller or similar fics? Ideally they'd be medium length but I don't really mind. Thank you in advance!

When Lily talks Sirius into a tarot card reading, at best he's expecting nothing. He certainly didn't expect the cutest bloke he's ever seen. And he certainly didn't expect to get all the answers--even ones he hadn't realised he was looking for.
The Art of Palmistry by @elixirsoflife 3k words
A finger traces one of the lines on his palm, making him jump. The boy pays it no mind, saying, “This is your happiness line. It starts a little late but coincides with the beginning of your love line here.” He presses down on the line parallel to it. Remus’ pulse jumps. “You’re not in love, are you?” he asks abruptly. I think I’m about to be, Remus thinks absurdly. (Alternatively: Remus, a sceptic, goes to get his palm read by a fortune teller. Panic ensues.)

Marlene reads Tarot for Sirius and Remus, and it tells them what they already know.
