…note to self: lectorel and hamelin-born make for a terrifying combo with heart-wrenching tear-inducing plunnies that are strangely determined. Treat tumblr feed with according caution.

*trudges off trying to ignore Soul Mate shenanigans where Obi-Wan’s life has hit a new level of tragic, while teeny Kenobis are determinedly gnawing at an ankle*

This FANDOM, man.

<3

lectorel? Does this mean that we are officially in cahoots?

*offers the glomp of congratulatory welcome*

(Come, join the angst-heartwrenching-bittersweet-OMG side. We have feels.)

Absolutely! Partners in evil.

Yes! We shall be a duo the likes of which the internet has never seen - a plague upon the fandoms! The dark counterparts of norcumi and dogmatix. But where they use their powers for fluff and shinies, we shall be the heartwrenchers - the angst shall flow at our command, and the feels drown the sun! All shall love us and despair!

Yeah, I hope you didn’t need any of those feels any time soon. ;)

We’ll also continue to prove *just how damn evil we are* by continuing to kick addictive bunnies in your direction.

@lectorel and I have - a reputation, of sorts.

…I’ve read a couple stories where Obi-Wan reacts - poorly to the infamous scene in the Council chambers where Qui-Gon (according to some perspectives) basically dumps him in order to train Anakin.

Has anyone read/heard of a story where *Anakin* is the one who is filled with righteous indignation at the idea of Qui-Gon treating Obi-Wan like that? Because I think that it might be fairly obvious to him that Obi-Wan all but worships the ground his Master walks on, and the idea that he could be shvoed aside, just like that, is - not terribly reassuring or complementary with regards to Qui-Gon’s character.

…I think that Anakin defending Obi-Wan, who, according to the Jedi Apprentice books, is actually fairly insecure with regards to his Master, might cement a lifelong friendship between the two.

Anakin, filled with the righteous indignation one vulnerable person feels for another, bristling in outrage. “You told me you weren’t that kind of master,” he says, stepping between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.

(And he is afraid, so damn afraid, because Qui-Gon has his implant controller, Qui-Gon owns him, and he’s already defying his new owner. But he won’t let this happen. Not to Obi-Wan, who thought he was free and loved, who doesn’t know how this works.)

“You told me,” Anakin repeats, drawing down into himself, world narrowing to the master before him and the betrayed behind him. “You lied. And you lied to Obi-Wan about it too. You’re exactly like them. Got bored with your toy, and picked up a new one, like our feelings don’t matter. Like we’re things.”

“Anakin!” Obi-Wan at his back, burning with his hurt, hand reaching to stop him. Anakin took a half step to the side, and smiled at him over his shoulder, pressing all the reassurance and promise-of-safety he could into the expression.

“It’s cruel,” he said, looking back at Qui-Gon. And plays his ace. “And you promised him better than that, I know you did. So you finish what you owe him, or you activate my implant right here, because I’m never going to obey you if you hurt him.” Anakin jerks his chin up, defiant, and braces himself for the outcome of his gamble.

HOW DO YOU DO THIS TO ME OH PARTNER IN EVIL? *sniffs, sobs*. Obi-Wan will be Anakin’s friend for *life* because of that - seriously, how often has *anyone* defended that padawan, wholly and honestly, without a second’s thought? And Obi-Wan will defend Anakin to the *death*, even against Qui-Gon, even against the Council, because this is a child - this is a good and honest and true child, and he deserves better, and you will not hurt him. 

This is an Obi-Wan who doesn’t wait for Qui-Gon’s dying command - who invites Anakin into his *own* quarters without being asked, who stockpiles food and piles furniture in front of the door in an effort to make Skywalker more comfortable. THIS is an Obi-Wan who sees Anakin, not as his responsibility, but as his brother from the very beginning.

…in a very weird way, Anakin and Obi-Wan both have to learn together how to be *free*.

(And Qui-Gon SO has the imminent heartbreak coming - when he looks at his padawan’s eyes and sees the empty desolation there, the quiet heartbreak, the acceptance - not good enough never good enough why am I not good enough? why doesn’t anyone want me? why doesn’t anyone care? what am I doing wrong?  and Anakin’s sheer protective fury - a dragon roused to fury, standing at bay as it protects one of its own - and the hardness in those eyes, the sudden reclassification of Qui-Gon from tentative friend/teaching to outright enemy, someone who should be stood against even in the face of no hope.

He has lost both his children in a single moment, and it’s all his fault.)

BROTP forever!

Obi-Wan will maybe forgive him, if they have time. But Anakin’s trust is gone.

Teaching him is going to be an interesting adventure this go around, because Anakin suddenly sees the master-padawan relationship as much less safe and trustworthy. And since he, apparently, is the only kriffin slave in this temple who knows better than to trust his owners, he’s got to look out for all of them.

He misses his mom. She was always much better at dealing with the aftermath of formerly favored pets being discarded. She knew the right words to explain the betrayal, and the proper rituals to help them discard the emotional ties between master and victim. Anakin has always been the one to defend from external threats while his mother sewed up the emotional wounds. Here, it’s only him and his memories, and he has to make it work.

It’s more of a reciprocal relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan this go-through - Obi-Wan teaches him the Force, and Anakin is *determined* to take care of his fellow former (?) slave. He’s also probably ferociously protective of our favorite Kenobi - a good thing, considering that Obi-Wan is probably just as determinedly protective in response.

…mental image of one of the TTMK facing off with Vader, suddenly pointing behind the Dark Lord with an expression of pure panic and screaming “Look out! A distraction!” Before high-tailing it.

…Vader is so dumbstruck with the utter stupidity of the situation that he’s actually frozen in place for the few precious seconds the TTMK needs to get away.

…for some reason, I am currently trying to figure out how to fit the recent revelations of the literally just-released Star Wars: Rebels trailer (REX REX REX REX REX REX REX) into my Teeny-Tiny Mandalorian Kenobis head!canon.

…Obi-Wan is going to glare very firmly at his lover/husband for jumping off and joining the rebellion like that - but all the kids are grown and gallivanting across the galaxy, he’s got Luke to look after, and Rex has been getting wanderlust. So - as long as Rex promises to come back, he’s ok with him going off to play a Rebellion like that, he guesses.

As long as he *promises* to come back.

…now picturing the TTMK descending on the Rebels Crew unexpectedly to swarm/greet ‘Mom’ - and Ahsoka and Kanan having simultaneous heart attacks at meeting General Kenobi’s ‘sons’. It’s a fun mental image - Ezra and Sabine might find it cool, Sabine because they’re fellow Mandalorians with *great* senses of humor, and Ezra because it’s the first time he’s meet Force Users/Jedi even vaguely approximating his own age. Who are more then willing to teach him a few tricks.

Yesss. Yes, all of that. (I need to finish watching TCW, and watch the first season of Rebels. Because shiny pretty things to play with and work into AUs and… ALL THE THINGS!)
*goes back to working on the current TTMK snippet in progress*

SHINY!

And amusing as all get out!

(also, EEEEEE)

Am now picturing one of the TTMK showing up in full armor and Rex cheerfully introducing him as ‘one of his kids’ - before drawing his blasters and shooting at him head on, and all of the Ghost’s crew reacting before realizing that no one else is doing anything, they’re all watching on in amusement as the figure in Mandalorian armor runs and ducks and dodges and backflips, while all the while Rex is cheerfully calling out encouragement (’good one, kid!’) advice (’you’re still rusty on your blocks’) and ‘criticism’ (’my non-existing grandmother could do better!’)

…turns out this is something of a ritual whenever his kips pop up. (All the other clones are taking bets.)

…then, of course, the figure in Mandalorian armor uses a lightsaber to block the last shot, and a whole new series of questions rear their head.
