"People Mostly Write And Read Very Character Driven, Specific Ship Focused Fic, Because What Most People

"People mostly write and read very character driven, specific ship focused fic, because what most people want out of fanfiction is to focus on the romance between characters they're not getting in canon so they can soak in the vibes."

Yes, absolutely. And thank hell for all the authors who write character-driven, ship focused fic for us to soak in the vibes to.

But also…

thank hell for all the authors who write angst, whump, and hurt no comfort, for us to luxuriate in blorbo's hurt and pain and cry or cackle.

thank hell for all the authors who write cheating, love triangles and affairs for us to consume large quantities of popcorn to and yell 'oh no, they didn't'.

thank hell for all the authors who write case fic, mission fic, and intricate, plot-driven stories to replicate the feel of canon, when canon has stopped or gone wrong.

thank hell for all the authors who write 'fix it' fics when canon has betrayed us with bad vibes, plot holes and deaths.

thank hell for all the authors who write poly ships when what we need is just for everyone to get along and screw instead of screw up.

thank hell for all the authors who write gen fic when we're not interested in romance.

thank hell for all the authors in fandom, and all the wonderful, different kinds of fanfiction they write for us.

Me, Catholic, walking into a Protestant church with no depictions of Mary: where’s my mom

Oh noooooooo! The mystery is solved! You’ve solved my final riddle, you are ze new riddle master... Congratulations… You have proven yourselves... quite the adventurers... oh, I’ve landed on Bryan- Bryan, ahhh… Bryan, I’m so proud of zem… I’m going to die now... My life is flagging from my body... I’ll see my family... goodbye cruel worrrrld-

ik master padawan apartments are a popular fanon idea and i totally get the appeal but consider this.

what we see in the clone wars of jedi living conditions, padawans and masters each have their own room. from the comics, younglings in the creche live in sort of a dormitory with their clan. so the idea im going with is once baby jedi get promoted to padawans, they are elligible to their own personal space.

this might make sense if your padawan is early/mid teens. they dont need constant supervision. height of angst and puberty hormones. the master just comes around from time to time to tell them to clean up (cleaning droids arent here to pick up your own mess, young lady).

and now consider anakin, aged 9. he barely knows the jedi. he doesnt know anything about the temple nor the life in the temple nor the baby jedi life nor anything jedi related. and hes 9. BUT he is a padawan so he gets a room of his own.

consider obi wan (who has his own quarters, away from the padawan quarters) trekking the route to anakins room 80x times a day to make sure anakin puts his robes on the right way, to walk him to baby jedi classes, to check up on him in anakin mech time, to walk him to meals, to bring him snacks, to make him take a shower and brush his teeth before bed, to check up on him when hes asleep (he sneaks out and gets lost routinely) and about 250 more reasons.

im sure it gets better as anakin grows older and him and obi wan gain confidence in their new roles.

however it is too funny that obi wan goes from "master qui gon doesnt need to know 😈😈" to folding tiny socks and tidying toy ships in the span of a week.

obi wan should get the full experience of a parent and jedi master whos super smart powerful padawan doesnt change his underwear daily unless directed.

"I'd destroy the world to protect you" but it's a parent/child relationship
