I know approximately three and a half things about Star Wars, but many of my friends know Lots about Star Wars, so I ran this by them and they said it was Chill, mostly @atagotiak. And the thought is this:
Modern AU where Ahsoka just points at Obi-Wan and goes “that’s my dad” and he goes along with it for ??? Reasons IDK she got in trouble with a mall cop and he’s like “Well fuck it she needs me to pretend to be her Legal Guardian” because he’s just barely old enough to pull it off… but… he kind of… doesn’t stop? The joke doesn’t stop.
He already knows her, because I’m imagining that Ahsoka is like… IDK some kid that Anakin is tutoring through a Big Brothers Big Sisters type thing.
(Obi-Wan’s still waiting for approval to be a foster dad but Ahsoka can recognize his dad qualities from a mile away.)
And she just knew Obi-Wan as Anakin’s older professor friend.
I imagine Ahsoka probably got in trouble for something relatively silly, like walking on the ledge around an indoor fountain as if it were a balance beam. She didn’t do anything Bad, just Technically Rule Breaking. Possibly the security guard was ignoring her as a ‘kids will be kids’ thing until she fell in and got soaked.
Later she keeps the joke up. Ahsoka, to Obi-Wan, on sight: Hi dad!!! Anakin, looking between them: Okay, what happened while I wasn’t watching and am I supposed to put a stop to it.
“Obi-Wan, did you adopt my little sister?” “Er… no, I don’t–I don’t think I signed any paperwork.” “In spirit.” “Ah. Yes, in that case, it’s a fair interpretation of events.”
“Well it’s really more like she adopted me, after all she’s the one who just declared that I’m her dad now.”
You know. From a certain point of view.
“Obi-Wan, you can’t just adopt Ahsoka without telling your husband.” “Ah, no, she asked him before I realized it was more than the shame to get her out of trouble.”
Alternatively somehow, some way, Anakin ends up her legal guardian. Anakin’s her dad now. Yes he’s 20 and she’s 14, what of it?
Obi-Wan can pull off “Yes I am their father” because the beard makes him look older. Technically, he’s like… idk thirty-five? Old enough to be feasibly a dad, if not necessarily Ahsoka’s dad. I’ve been told that people usually assume Human!Ahsoka would be black, but this entire AU is about adoption so [shrug emoji] that works!
And also like. Obi-Wan has Big Gay Vibes. Mall security will absolutely just assume.
(He’s bi? I think? I’ve been told he just flirts with almost everyone they meet? But his vibes are that of a millennial gay dad who goes shopping for organic food in Flushing despite owning a condo in Bed-Stuy. Not quite a hipster, but close.)
(Would he do this? I don’t know. But the vibes are there.)
(Mostly it’s the beard.)
If Ahsoka alternates between calling him Dad and calling him by his name, it also helps sell the “adopted slightly older” thing she was going for… which eventually becomes reality.
EDIT NOW THAT I KNOW MORE ABOUT SHIPPING NORMS AND WHATNOT:
The husband is Cody.
WE'RE GETTING HENRY'S POV IN THE NEW VERSION. WE'RE GETTING HENRY'S POV IN THE NEW VERSION. WE'RE GETTING HENRY'S POV IN THE NEW VERSION.
THIS IS EXACTLY ME LMAO
how I felt reading Heartstopper
Senior Year things to appreciate apart from Gilderoy (who I think we've been doing plenty of well deserved appreciating this week):
Brian Holden as Hagrid - so fucking funny, I remember squealing my absolute head off the first time I saw this bit. I completely understand why Darren is just creasing throughout the whole scene.
The way that learning about Voldemorts backstory isn't necessary to appreciate his plot in AVPM but when you know it it adds so many more layers. Starkid literally said Voldemort is like that because of homophobic parents and we were like fuck me up fam.
This has already been discussed at length but obviously the last scene. "I hope you find that swimming pool". Albus Scarfy Potter. Quirrelmort. Wang Mu. Okay is wonderful. All of it.
Tyler as McGonnagall - seriously what can't that man play?? He embodies her.
YOU GOTTA GO HOME, YOU GOTTA GO HOME - you know what I'm on about
Jeff Blim's vocals in Get in My Mouth. Also would recommend looking up Nick Strauss' cover from a Leaky Con in I think 2013. It's on YouTube and it's fucking incredible.
I Was and Tonight This School is Mine are both complete bangers and the fact that they're still audiably bangers even with the microphone issues says a lot. The fucking poetry in I was, and the fucking sass in ttsim
The many layers of Always Dance. The beautiful bit at the start with Dylan, then the fucking dance off between Voldemort and Lucius which is everything and finally the evil last verse when he's waltzing with Ginny
Sidekick.
Joey Richter's actual real ass human tears that he manages to squeeze out
Everything Ends continual ability to make me bawl like a baby. Goddam you Brosenthal why is your voice so good.
"I think we FOUND each other". It should be illegal for a line so funny to come in the middle of a scene so emotional. I distinctly remember when I watched it as a teenager having to pause to howl with laughter (tigerfucker and Santa Claus is going to high school are the only other scenes I remember having to do that for on first watch). Lilly divorcng James in heaven and remarrying Cedric is just an inspired concept
Evana Lynch smoking a fag - it was really cool that they became big enough to get an actual Harry potter actor in the show but just watching her smoking while washing blood off her hands made it so worth
The fact that AJs commitment to being in both the band and the cast means there are so many moments where the camera pans across and it's just oh look there's Gilderoy Lockhart just casually playing keyboard with Clark
The death day party scene - Ron and Lavenders date, Harry and Cho's date and then Seamus and Dean's double date with Ginny all 3 of them fucking hysterical. Also the bit with the ice sculpture and the roller skates
Brant Cox - he has like 5 lines in this play but they're the funniest 5 lines
All of the boo boos - most specifically 'fuck the tie' and 'a floating diary? Ah shit'
"sssssnake ssssnake I'm a snake where are my arms gone, only kidding I'm a ssssnake"
"sparkles, sparkles, I'm gay!" ~ Lord Voldemort
"I drew a majestic owl" - watching the SK10 livestreams and apparantly this comes from when they were doing a 24 hour story writing thing (a Hackathon for humanities students??) and Jim got bored really early on so spent most of the time drawing a realistic owl
And finally that it actually happened in the first place because I remember how initially it was going to be right after the sequel but then everything got thrown into disarray, and it kept getting pushed back. But thanks to us being absolute impatient assholes who commented 'give us threequel' every time they so much as breathed on social media we got it and it was wonderful!
I have said that i’ve accepted cody’s probable death in season two of The Bad Batch, but please know that I am, in fact, a fucking liar.
CODYCODYCODY
had to get this out before tbb season 2. if he dies i don’t know how i’ll be able to go on
I HAVE ONLY ONE THOUGHT AFTER THAT EPISODE
(credit to @techsluvr for the meme lol)
Kevin [whispering]: i don’t think we can mansplain, manipulate or manslaughter our way out of this one
Andrew [cracking his knuckles]:
Andrew: malewife it is
🚨SPOILER ALERT: RWRB COLLECTOR’S EDITION🚨
“Henry,” says Alex.
“Alex,” says Henry.
“You and me,” Alex says.
“You and me,” Henry agrees.
- Bonus Chapter of RED WHITE & ROYAL BLUE by Casey McQuiston
It felt fitting for my last fanart of 2022 to honor one of the absolute highlights of my year, drawing endpapers for the RWRB Collector’s Edition. This scene was such a beautiful, fitting conclusion to their story, and I WEPT when I read it. I will never not feel overwhelmed with gratitude when I think of this book and its impact on my life, and I can only imagine what loveliness awaits us in 2023 when the movie is released.
If you and yours are celebrating this week, know that I am wishing you the happiest of holidays and a beautiful and bright New Year! Thank you for being here, and I can’t wait to share more art with you in 2023! 🎉
