The fact that obimaul isn't a more popular ship makes me crazy. How do more people not see it.
They're narrative foils. Maul survives a killing blow because the thought of Kenobi kept him alive, and what is obsession but a mirror of devotion? Obi-Wan is the master of defense and Maul is the master of offense. Obi-Wan's first and last kill of his life is Maul. The trajectory of their lives is extraordinary similar until the Same Duel sends them shooting off into opposite directions and defines them both for decades. A duel that teaches Obi-Wan the feeling of revenge that will haunt Maul the rest of his life. Obi-Wan was the apprentice who was never wanted. Maul was wanted too much. Obi-Wan overcame his trauma, but Maul never could. Both rebellious by nature, forced into the mold of the Perfect Example of their respective orders, and yet they have the same failing - Maul, desperate for companionship from ANYBODY, and Obi-Wan who struggles with his attachment to the people he loves. Both forced into exile by the same man who destroyed their lives and orders. They've hurt each other in unimaginable ways and yet understand each other like no one else can.
"The only one allowed to kill you is me" but isnt that just another way of asking live for me? Who is your rival but your purpose? Is there not a tenderness in the eyes of your worst enemy who has seen you at your absolute lowest and still needs you to get back up? Because without you, what are they?

[Jedi Maul AU] me and @cranityā was talking about a scenario where Maul and Kenobi get stranded a bit on Dathomir at the Nightbrother village, waiting for their ship to be fix. Maul soon found himself circling by curious younglings, he tried to act cool and ignored them at first but gave up. Now he just gushing over theseĀ exquisite little rascal because Maul have never seen any specimen like him before.
++ Maul joked that he āhas every desirable attribute in abundanceā and he would have make āaesthetic pleasuring offspringāā¦Obi-Wan holding back laughter in hopelessness like what the hell are you talking about āSo, what are you thinking? Settle down here, fathered a couple of those, send me podcast later?āĀ
