Re: What pairing/character do you love but never have the chance to talk about?

Kanan/Ezra from Star Wars Rebels. It's such a tiny ship, and with all the current hostility towards 'problematic' ships like mentor/student I don't want to bring it up non-anon.

I like Kanan/Ezra if you want to talk about it. I love mentor/student ships so fistbump of solidarity since I don't want to talk about my other ships either.

Oh wow, was not expecting that, but here goes. I just really like that we actually see a lot of their relationship on screen and how it grows. We really get to see how much they mean to each other. They both have similar pasts, both spent time on the streets and know loss. They both have the potential to either be really amazing for each other, or really fuck each other up.

The first season especially and how it deals with Ezra saving Kanan from himself and his own self-doubt and fears? I know it's maybe not the best trope, but I freakin' love it in fiction. (as a side note, I keep meaning to read the Jedi Apprentice series since I've heard that's basically Obi-Wan's role for Qui-Gon)

I definitely had a shippy vibe in season one but I don't remember from what exactly. I clearly need to rewatch. But I definitely really liked them this last season where Kanan backed off a bit and trusted Ezra more, and Ezra seemed to be maturing. I loved their last exchange from this season, and I'm curious where they are going next season, especially as they might end up dead or exiled to put them in line with the movies. My only disappointment so far with their relationship is that they seemed to gloss over a lot of Ezra's training and I would've liked to see more of that.

Obi-wan/Qui-gon is an OTP of mine but I kind of hate the Jedi Apprentice books for their character assassination of Qui-gon.

(Is this the first you've mentioned Ezra/Kanan here? If so, I know there's a dedicated fan of the ship here.)

I really would have loved to see more of their training too. They were some of my favorite scenes, and I do really love seeing characters learning and changing.

I actually haven't seen the last season because the tumblr fandom just burnt me out so badly I couldn't really handle it. Waiting to give it a fair shot once I recover, but I still really like the pairing. I think I mentioned it... a year or so ago? Did a secret that I wished it would get as popular as the other master/padawan ships and was met with a resounding ewww no from most of f!s that commented so I don't think I really mentioned it since then?

For me, I would just love to see more of how Jedi train. It's especially telling for Kanan to see how much he actually knows as that really informs how good a teacher he could be. I think it would've served both characters really well to see Kanan struggling to overcome his own doubts and Ezra struggling to learn the concepts of Jedi fighting. But, even beyond how it would really enrich both characters, I'm just really curious about the logistics of training and to see more insight into Jedi philosophy. Kanan is sort of a pseudo-Jedi in some ways so more concrete details would let him feel like more of a Jedi to me. I don't always feel that Ezra is a Jedi. He can use the Force but Kanan really hasn't been shown giving him too much about Jedi philosophy. I'd love more.

I think you'll like the new season? I did. They start out a little rocky but move on from there. I'm sorry fandom sucked. I generally stay away from fandom but I did notice it when I looked for stuff on Kallus after a reveal about him. Some people were awful. But, good news, there are at least two other fans of the ship here. :)

I'm glad I'm not alone! I also love speculating on Jedi philosophy. Like I headcanon that the no-attachment thing was originally intended to mean no-favoritism. Jedi are supposed to be peacekeepers and diplomats, so it was to theoretically allow justice to be blind and prevent a lot of corruption and favoritism. Of course it's not perfect and could be badly interpreted and misused, but the idea wasn't a bad one.

There's just so much room to play around with the universe and concepts.

Any recs for non-wanky fanworks? For art about the only person I can think of is !NSFW! https://niwaniwaniwaco.tumblr.com !NSFW! and while they're really yaoi-tropey I haven't found many other artists.
