i'm as much of a slut for touch-hungry Obi-Wan gets cuddled by the Vode as much as the next Jedi/clone shipper, but I wish we'd stop doing it from the lense of like, 'the Jedi didn't hug him enough' (i have my doubts whether Qui-Gon did, but he was hardly the only damn Jedi in the Temple) and more as 'Palps isolated the Jedi from each other on purpose, so he's largely away from his family and surrounded by people he does care for (and is cared for by in return) but that he's cripplingly aware of his power imbalance with'
like, there's not a single instance within canon where someone goes in for a hug with him and Obi-Wan acts hesitant or unsure about accepting it, which i feel would not be the case if he'd actually not gotten that kind of support during his formative years. plus, i think people have a tendency to discount how much of that comfort would be taking place within the Force, given that Jedi are empaths.
What a year this week has been.

Wally is unhinged this season.
“You’ve been here four years babe, try forty”
“Where can we find a bazooka?”
“Why didn’t you break the glass?”
“Maybe she was like a secret brew master. Like making prison hooch”
“Oh my God Rhonda can you please take her back? You wake it you buy it”
“Tighten your girdle girl”
“Out of the closet or the pottery room?”
Charley: like body shots?
Wally: ooh I miss those

white people who are part of a minority group (for example, lgbt) need to stop thinking they can speak for the entire group and minimize the intersecting oppressions that racialized minorities face. Put simply, you will never know what it’s like to be a black lgbt individual so stop making generalizations about lgbt experience.
By making generalizations, you’re erasing the fact that everyone experiences life differently based on their socioeconomic status. Stop erasing our experiences and our suffering within the lgbt community. Many black lgbt people are excluded from our white peers and otherized due to our skin color. A white person will never know that pain.
Acknowledge our pain, acknowledge our exclusion from your communities and use your privilege to amplify our voices.
(White people are definitely encouraged to reblog, but please don’t comment!)
Something that’s literally insane to me is the amount of hypocrisy that anti-Jedi people have in regards to the Jedi adopting Anakin.
(or “kidnapping” him, as they’d phrase it—as if Shmi wasn’t literally saying “take Anakin with you to become a Jedi” every other line in TPM, but whatever-)
———
The Jedi: *adopt Anakin*
Anti-Jedi people/Stanakins: they kidnapped him, abused him, brainwashed him into suppressing his emotions, trapped him so that he couldn’t leave, and told him love was evil!!!
The Jedi: *say they probably shouldn’t adopt Anakin since their lifestyle wouldn’t be a good fit for him*
Anti-Jedi people/Stanakins: How dare they not immediately accept him into the Order!!! How dare they actually have criteria for someone joining like any other religion!!! How dare they have valid reasons for thinking that being a Jedi wouldn’t be a good fit for Anakin!!!
———
And it’s usually the same people saying both arguments, depending on which one better fits their argument.
Like…pick a side, for the love of god.
Should the Jedi have not taken him in or should they have taken him in? You can’t have both.
And if you think they were wrong to adopt Anakin, why aren’t y’all getting pissed at Shmi? She’s the one that kept pressuring Qui-Gon to take Anakin and train him to become a Jedi!
And you can’t say- “well, she just wanted to get Anakin out of slavery, she can’t be blamed” -because Shmi could’ve asked Qui-Gon to do anything with Anakin! Take him to an adoption agency, make sure he finds a good home, get him away from Tatooine and make sure he’s safe, etc.
But she told him to take Anakin to the Order and train him to become a Jedi.
And, even if Shmi didn’t know of any other options for Anakin, did y’all want Qui-Gon to fucking lie to her? Say he’ll train Anakin and then just give him to an adoption agency while flipping Shmi the bird?
Or would you have rather Qui-Gon left him in slavery with Shmi? Because remember, Qui-Gon tried to free Shmi but Watto refused to sell her, he would only sell Anakin.
Trick question! Y’all would bash the Jedi no matter what they did!
Like, what was the other option that y’all apparently have in mind? Since you keep shit talking Qui-Gon/the Jedi for literally every decision they could’ve possibly made.
It just…the hypocrisy amazes me.
Is he…you know…your “secret buddy on Tatooine”?
