In response to why Obi-Wan is losing armour during the course of the war (now that i've been released from captivity):

The suicidal ideations theory: Obi-Wan is slowly losing his armor during the course of the war because he is getting more careless with his life since he is losing the will to live. -- The loss of armour symbolises the decline of his mental health.

The practicality theory: Obi-Wan is losing armour beause as the war drags on he simply does not have the time to deal with the logistics of wearing armour. He is simply cutting back the time he would spend on maintenance + putting it on/taking it off + storing it. -- The loss of armour symbolises increasing urgency.

The martyr theory: Obi-Wan is tired of changing his fighting style to accommodate the extra weight and restrictions. He is prioritizing speed (which in the case of his preferred lightsaber style, Soresu, means acting as a human shield) over his own protection. -- The loss of armour symbolises his desire to protect others at the cost of his own safety.

The identity theory: He is losing his armour in protest because he feels like his duties as a soldier are in contradiction with his Jedi lifestyle. The armour, or rather what it represents, conflicts with his principles. -- The loss of armour symbolises his reaffirmance of his Jedi identity.

The aesthetic theory: It just isn't his look. -- The loss of armour symbolises Obi-Wan's status as a bimbo.

How do we feel about time-travel fics where teenage Ahsoka crashes the Kenobi-Jinn Mandalore mission and, while Obi-Wan is having weird courtly love pining nonsense with Satine, Ahsoka herself has managed to hook up with Bo-Katan.

It was supposed to be an undercover thing where Ahsoka hunted out Death Watch! It’s not like they did more than make-out in a corner between training sessions. Mostly they got into really aggressive sparring flirtation and then had to be pulled apart by Pre!

Just. You know. Once Ahsoka leaves Mandalore and goes back to the Jedi she keeps getting weird, love-lorn letters and violent gifts, because apparently, saying she hates slavery and had a bad experience with the Queen of Zygerria in particular means getting a head in a box in the mail, because when Bo likes someone, she flirts via regicide.

19yo Pre is 17yo Bo’s unwilling accomplice in seducing a Jedi.

Ahsoka’s busy getting teased by Quinlan Vos and Garen Muln. This only gets put on hold when the gifts go from “cool knife” to “literal head of a head of state,” and the Temple has to deal with that. It’s not a fun time.

Obi-Wan would join in on the teasing, except, well, Satine.

Qui-Gon is a little disappointed in both of them but he accepts that, in an absurd way, Ahsoka’s admirer is assassinating her way to a better galaxy, so maybe the Force did will this.

Monstrous Love

I kinda can’t believe that it’s 2016 and Marvel has released a *solo film about Doctor Strange*…and DC hasn’t even acknowledged that Batman has children yet.

This is awesome 💝💗. It absolutely reflects the characters as both mature and playful!! It fits them so well!! Thank you!

Can you do a Kazemaru/Fubuki platonic please?? Your post with Kidou/Fudou and the others is awesome 🤩😍

Thanks!!🥺💜 I’m not really good with that brotp but I’ll try!

Who cheats at games:

Both but let me explain. When they are playing cards, Fubuki sometimes cheats just to be playful and because of it, Kazemaru "returns the response" cheating too.

Who borrows stuff and never returns it:

None. Kazemaru is too responsible and Fubuki...he may take longer in return it, after all, he lives quite far...but he'll do it eventually.

Who sends odd texts in the middle of the night:

Fubuki. Like as I said with Fudou, he loves to send memes. He knows Kazemaru's humor sense so if he sees a funny meme about it he would immediately send it to him.

GO Context: But if Kazemaru is kinda drunk, he would start to send Fubuki randoms facts about aliens or just talk with him about Aliens.

Who is more likely to get them into ridiculous situations:

Mhm, neither. 

Who makes it a habit of showing up at the other's house unannounced:

Mhm, none. I think they are the kind of friends that would send a message before appear out of nowhere.

Which one is the mom friend:

Kazemaru. In this house we stan "mom friend" Kazemaru. He's the one that stops Fubuki of be TOO honest with someone he shouldn't. 

Which one makes the other one sign up for those crazy food challenges:

Fubuki. He knows Kazemaru would join if he asks (and if the challenge isn't about to eat a big amount of food). I see them mostly joining the "Guess that food Challenge".

I recently came out to my mother's side of the family who are majority conservative christians and it went much better than I expected. Like, they were weirdly supportive. I only got one comment insinuating that I might possibly be going to hell but it came from my aunt and she's dying soon anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Anyway, I'm telling them how shocked I am and that I honestly thought that they'd have more of a problem with it when my grandma is like "Well you know we've been through this before with your uncle Nicky" and I'm like "what" and so it turns out that my uncle Nick was born a Natalie, came out as a boy at 19, and my great grandma proceeded to pay for his top surgery and hormone therapy. In 1974. And I just had to process for a bit because my entire life no one has referred to him as anything other than he/him and his chosen name. I ask why no one ever thought to mention this and they're just like "tbh we forgot. It's been so long that he's been a man" This man is married. He has a wife and three kids. I ask my relatives how they went about having kids, whether through adoption or sperm donor or what and none of them know. Apparently he just told everyone that they were gonna be parents and then one day showed up at my grandma's house with a baby. No questions were asked. Just. He and his wife had a baby now and that was that. Three times. Weeks later when I finally talk to my aunt Sarah (Nick's wife) all she tells me is that neither of them have ever been pregnant and, I quote, "sometimes you just come into children". She phrased it like people use the phrase "come into money". Like children are something that just happens to you. I ask my relatives if any of them had a problem with Nick being trans at the time, saying I'd understand if they had negative feelings about it, as it was the 1970s after all. They were like "nope" and i was just like "you didn't think anything of it?" And my grandfather was like "these things happen" while the other adults nodded sagely. So I guess the moral here is that if my conservative christian relatives could accept my uncle as trans in the 1970s then there really isn't any excuse for anyone. And also my family needs to ask more questions because I'm fairly sure my aunt and uncle stole their kids.

I'm laughing my ass off at that last sentence- But I'm so glad your coming out went well! That's one heck of a way to find out you have LGBT relatives.

shes pretty obscure / legends only but i was curious how you felt about komari vosa

I thought the premise was an interesting one. A talented Jedi who became infatuated with her Master (Dooku) and thus was barred from the Trials altogether, leaving the Order in disgrace and shame. She turned to the Dark Side after torture by the Force-worshipping Bando Gora cult and ultimately rose as its High Priestess. When Sidious ordered her dispatched of, Dooku turned it into a kind of contest - the bounty hunter able to take out the power Force-wielder would become the template for the clone army. And yes, that being would be Jango Fett.

A lot of the beats in this story hit the right chord - a young Vosa falling for her urbane, older Master, which is not unheard of in these intense, one-on-one training relationships (ask me about music conservatory culture one day, oof). To Dooku’s credit, he wanted nothing to do with this (and I sincerely doubt he would even as a Sith - that’s just not his M.O., thank the Force). Her falling into a Force-worshipping cult, which is absolutely fantastic (and something I wish had been utilized in the Sequels). And then finally, Dooku’s inability to actually kill her directly, manipulating the situation into “The Box? Version 1.0 is 100% on-brand for his character. I actually don’t think he’s ever been able to take out a friend/Lineage member directly. He hired the Pykes to deal with Sifo-Diyas, bounty hunters for Komari, more or less left Ventress to die but never actually ensured her death, ditto for Savage, and never actually landed a killing blow in a situation with Obi-wan, even though he certainly had the upper hand in those encounters. 

Now, it’s been a while since I’ve read those comics and to be perfectly honest, I am wholly in love with Rael Averross and his whole schtick so I’m willing to let go of Komari Vosa in exchange for Rael. That being said, it wasn’t a half-bad storyline.
