How romantic.😍

I just realised the comparisons between Obi Wan dropping his lightsaber and old-fashioned handkerchief etiquette and I am going absolutely insane.

For anyone who doesn’t know, a woman would throw her handkerchief out the window for the man she loves to pick up. If he picked it up, he would fold it and put it in his pocket to intoxicate he accepts and reciprocates her affection.

Or she would walk around in a public park or someplace like that and drop it for eligible men to pick up. The intention was to try and have a moment where their hands would brush together when the man hands it back to her, and so they could have a moment of eye contact and could smile at each other.

This idea works so well with the fact that Obi Wan and Cody wouldn’t be able to express their feelings publicly, so the idea of them having a secret language with each other that could just be laughed off as a joke or Obi Wan being clumsy isn’t too hard to believe. It also ties into the “your lightsaber is your life” concept that people have spoken about on here before and emphasises that the beauty of this relationship is the subtlety of it.

It would be drastically irresponsible for Obi Wan to intentionally drop his lightsaber mid-battle, but it does paint the scene where it falls out of the sky and lands directly in front of Cody in a slightly different light. It also makes Cody having a clip on his belt much more symbolic becwuse this would be the equivalent of him taking the handkerchief and putting it in his pocket.

It also recontextualises Cody’s last action as a free man before Order 66 (taking his time to hand back the lightsaber to Obi Wan) as essentially a declaration of love. So his last real choice he got to make was to tell Obi Wan that he loves him one last time.

Words worth reading and repeating ♡

your work matters, and you're not a very good judge of it.

you can have the fancy degrees and the years of experience. you can have zero idea what you're doing and nothing but a song in your heart. the way you view what you write will never be how i view what you write. which is why you gotta write whatever feels real and good and honest to ya.

i forgot this. it's really lonely to be an author. the world you slice through to carve into a page - it can't ever be fully realized. sometimes the sun is butter yellow, and i can never spread it onto toast to serve to you. i can never describe fully the feeling of a new england october, only that a place that is often too-cold is suddenly full of a strange and visceral warmth. if you're not a writer or an artist, the experience is like this: take a flower and study it. without eating it, cook me a meal that tastes like this flower.

so i didn't know how good the book is, only that i hoped beyond a hope that anyone out there might get a kick out of it. maybe someone nice will review it every few days, i thought. i just want it to help any 1 person.

i did a reading recently where far too many people were kind and thoughtful and so gentle with me that i got into my car and burst into tears. i've had a very rough year, and this experience felt like a hug. so many people telling me they love what i read from the book. and in it, listening to the laughter as i read - at jokes i have long since stopped thinking are funny - it sent a bird straight through my heart. oh shit, i thought. i've been so unnecessarily cruel to myself.

you have no idea how many people read your work and don't respond because they are too shy or busy or unsure. i have webcomics i've never commented on that i've been checking on weekly for actual years. there are artists on spotify i will never be able to see in concert. there are paintings in galleries that i couldn't afford but wanted to kiss. i love what you have made, and i have no idea how to tell you. i love you, and it hurt me and helped me and also sent me back home. i wish there was more time and more ways to shine the light back to you.

be gentle. you have no way of knowing if you're good enough, so you might as well make something that feels good to make. someone will love it. and that love is never wasted.

Nifty lil factoid. ♡

Cody coughs again, and hears the sick wet sound he makes on the inhale. But Cody’s Jedi has a steady gaze, his eyes clear and uncanny, nearly colorless in the gloom. With a lurch, Cody realizes that Kenobi’s face shines red in the low light, blood-soaked from the work of Cody’s lungs.

“Keep breathing for me. There, just like that, you’re – you’re doing so well.”
