Thus the trickster nicknames when Obi-Wan finally accepts.
I have to admit that some of these AUs are unfamiliar to me - RL has been frustratingly hectic recently.
…Obi-Wan’s no Ekkreth, but he does seem to have the makings of a Trickster. And why am I getting the sudden mental image of a sulking Obi-Wan glowering at being denounced as one? (Anakin is laughing helplessly in the background.)

Since Vine’s gonna die, here are some great queer vines from Thomas Sanders
I hate this vines because people applaud this guy for being so “progressive” and “supportive” but really he’s just using queerness as a punchline. It’s basically “wow look! You didn’t expect this person to be queer! Hilarious!! That’s the joke!!”
And then he gets millions and millions of likes and followers and praise just for that. People treat him like some kind of saint just for this. It’s pretty stupid.
first of all: sanders is bisexual. he himself is queer (if he identifies in that way)
secondly: I think it’s less about “lol they’re queer” and more about subverting the assumption that everyone is straight. The marriage proposal vine really hammers in this concept; one man is trying to propose to another and outsiders keep declaring that the relationship is platonic (even though it is not).
He also directly tackles his bisexuality in this compilation as well; showing that he is attracted to men and women, and when asked whether he is gay or straight, he answers in the affirmative simultaneously. Bisexuality is often misunderstood and erased; some people do not even consider it possible to be attracted to multiple genders.
third: queer people are allowed to be involved in comedy. we’re allowed to parody ourselves. especially if we’re subverting pre-existing tropes

guy:
it’s 2014 and having a valid and logical argument with your parents is still “talking back”
Still the same in 2016
I don’t think I’ve ever actually won a single argument with any member of my family.
