That sucks, nonny - but also, I think many people have ships that are not "healthy".

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. Personally, none of my ships are self-insert. I don't really think that's unusual; I think a lot of people have non-SI ships.

If you can't enjoy your ship anymore because you just can't, then I'm sorry, OP, that's too bad. OTOH, you know it's okay to enjoy it anyway, right? Just making sure. Personally, my favorite OTPs are ones that are just a huge pile of red flags sewn together into something that is improbably loving and functional. And that's totally okay. And it's also fine to just like romantic/sexual toxicity in your ships, too. You probably know that. But it just seems like if you clicked with the ship before, then maybe you can click with it again, if you just work through your feelings about it a little bit. *shrug*

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, lovely secret maker, thanks for this! The secret looks great! :D

Thanks everyone for the kind words btw, and for anyone who might be wondering, I am over the initial shock by now and back to searching for healthy ways in which it could work in canon (while simultaneously avoiding interpretations that remind me of parents ew). Yay!

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry you lost your beloved OTP to your silly brain, OP! I hope you find another soon.

Why did you need to relate to one of the characters?

[(Anonymous)]

I've honestly never shipped anything in a self-insert way. All my ships are because I can see elements of myself in both of them, but they're also very both very different people from me too, and for most I personally would not want to be in a relationship with either of them. They're right for each other, not me.

If it was a live-action film, I'd be the director or the camera person, not either of the actors.

I'm also not invested at all in whether the relationship is healthy. I like enemies-to-lovers, I like codependent ships, I like forbidden love, all of that.

But yeah, if I noticed a ship had a dynamic too much like my parents, I'd probably nope out too. Not that my parents' relationship is any worse than average, really, but who wants to think about their parents when reading sexy fic?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not sure why it would need to be like self-insert for you to love it. Do you usually only like self-insert? For me generally, I just need to connect with a character in some way to care about them, not necessarily relate to them or identify with them, just have more than a surface emotional response to them.

They were complaining ahead of the whole show there was nowhere for the story to go because we knew how it turned out. They were wrong. I agree that I think thematically they tied everything up in a nice bow, and that it being one season only has made it something special, but there are absolutely ways to tell a new dramatic story too. Just knowing where the story ends doesn't mean you can't find fun on the journey also.

[philstar22]

I do want another season, telling a different story. But yes, you can tell stories even when you know the final outcome. How would we have prequels otherwise?

[(Anonymous)]

tbh I went into Obi-Wan knowing NOTHING, so I could ensure I had no expectations that had to be met. the only thing I imagined was that it was going to be a case of "well, there's this 15-20 year gap we know nothing bout, surely there were some rollicking adventures to be had on Tattooine while attempting to keep your identity a secret."

I was not expecting the story we got and frankly, it's not one I would have wanted. having to tie everything to Anakin and the backstory using new characters that were wasted a la Tite Kubo forgetting about the 25 characters he just introduced. It was poorly-paced even for a short-run series, it needed to either be a full 12-26 episodes or one movie, not this in-between bullshit that was obviously padded from a movie-length script.

so now? No. No, unless you're actually bringing me rollicking Tattooine adventues (which I don't want anymore on behalf of the sets and the actors) I just plain don't want it. No amount of interacting with Jawas and having Odd Couple conversations with the ghost of Qui-Gon is worth it.

[(Anonymous)]

I liked it the way it was, but I could totally see more stories for the character. Because the two main things I disliked were 1) he starts out hopeless and broken and 2) it's all about the Skywalkers. The show handled both well enough it didn't bother me too much, but a 2nd season would obviously not have the first and most people seem to agree he and Vader at least shouldn't meet again.

I'm also a bit disappointed now that I've heard about some of the scripts they didn't use. One had lots of Cody and the clones, and I would have loved that. If another season can give us more focus on all of Obi-wan's other relationships that aren't Skywalker(-related) I'd be all for it.

Or we could have a show that's not about Obi-Wan but does feature him. Like one about the clones, or the Path/Rebellion. I'd be fine with that too.

There are worse approaches. “Your mother wears socks that smell!”

(If you don’t recognize that, it was originally “Your mother sucks cocks in hell!”)
