Ahsoka gets pointed to Tatooine about two years after the Empire rises. Bail is vague about it, but tells her she’ll find Someone She’s Looking For if she goes. Ahsoka brings Rex because reasons. Bail intended for her to find Obi-Wan, because he’s heard about training bonds and one time Obi-Wan mentioned Ahsoka had formed a minor one with him, but he doesn’t know enough about the Force to realize she’d be drawn directly to Luke instead.
So one day, Beru and Owen just open the door, toddler in hand, to see an exhausted, distraught former Jedi a good decade their junior on the step, with an clone soldier, eyes fixed on Luke and looking like she’s about to cry.
For a particularly high level of drama, this wasn’t planned, and Bail had only told her that she could Find Allies on Tatooine if she ended up in the absolute worst possible situation (she is pretty much the only person he felt deserved to know there were allies on Tatooine at all), and what actually happens is that Ahsoka passes out like two seconds after the door opens and Rex is left holding the bag of “how the fuck do I explain the thing.”
Rex gains a bit of favor by explaining about the chip in his head after Owen demands an explanation because last he heard, the clones had turned on the Jedi on the Emperor’s orders, and Beru and Owen have enough knowledge of slavery (and Beru’s family has been freeing people for so many generations) that the story of what happened during O66 on Mandalore immediately wins Rex some points, at least enough for someone to go get Ben.
This is the point at which I admit that this was partially driven by me thinking about one of those “Cody finds/is found by Obi-Wan on Tatooine, gets de-chipped, they end up Husbands” AUs and me really wanting post-O66 Ahsoka crying on Obi-Wan while he awkwardly explains to the Lars family that this girl is Basically His Daughter
Probably while Ahsoka’s passed out in his lap.
Also I want that dramatic moment of Owen telling Obi-Wan that someone showed up “looking for Jedi” but not really explaining much, just enough for Obi-Wan to panic and jump on a speeder with Cody in full armor and with a blaster because Owen doesn’t seem worried enough for it to be imperials but what if and then he shows up and instead it’s Ahsoka, exhausted and injured and unconscious, but it’s his grandpadawan.
He freezes when he sees her, almost doesn’t even parse that Rex is there until the man starts talking, and then he backpedals, grabs Cody from outside where he’s helping Owen secure the speeder, and shoves him into the building because Brothers.
(In Owen’s defense, he had a vague idea that there were millions of clones and had no reason to assume these two in particular would know each other.)
There’s a Keldabe kiss with some tears that everyone later denies happened, and Obi-Wan just goes over to sit with Ahsoka and push some healing energy into her body until she feels well enough to wake up. Luke toddles in and basically just gets passed around between Beru and Owen and Obi-Wan. He gives Owen and Beru an abridged explanation of how they all know each other and how Jedi families work, which leads to Beru declaring that if Ahsoka was Anakin’s adopted family, then she’s family to the rest of them, too, by Tatooine standards. And since Rex is a brother to Obi-Wan’s husband–
“Your WHAT?” Rex demands.
“Husband, vod'ika, keep up.”
Anyway, everyone’s family somehow but the important part is reuniting clones and having the disaster lineage crying on each other because I have seen those screenshots where Ahsoka canonically refers to Obi-Wan as her adoptive father when talking about him to strangers post-O66 and sure that’s arguably just her reframing to fit the conversation and her audience, but also. Like. That’s Her Dad.
Alternatively: That one time Tobirama made friends with the Necromancer Hellcat.
Because I can totally see the Nibi trolling the Shinobi world. Mito thinks it’s hilarious, and Tobirama has got to get his kicks somehow.
It begins when Mito seals the Kyubi into her navel with nothing but ink and chakra. Suddenly the whole shinobi world is gearing up, ready for battle. In the idiot-mind of Tobirama’s older brother (seriously, this naïve trusting nature of his will get him killed someday) the best thing to do is to track down the other bijuu, seal them up into nice little packages, and ship them off to neighboring countries.
‘Everybody gets a Bijuu!’ He announces over the kotatsu during dinner one night, beaming at his own brilliance.
Tobirama facepalms when he hears this.
Mito snorts, but secretly she agrees with her brother-in-law.
This can only end in tears.

I kinda can’t believe that it’s 2016 and Marvel has released a *solo film about Doctor Strange*…and DC hasn’t even acknowledged that Batman has children yet.
Idk why i decided to make this.

Kidou: I have very high standards-
Endou walks in, tripping and falling face first on the floor: Ouch, hi guys.
Kidou: I want him.
Sluttiest Obi-Wan Headcanon Based on This GIF:
This is a typical Stewjoni greeting because of course any planet Obi-Wan hails from isn’t going to just shake hands or anything that basic. No—no they kiss both cheeks just to say “Hello there”.
I mean—
Imagine—
Cody, offering his hand to shake: General, I’ve heard a lot about you. I look forward to serving under you, sir.
(Obi-Wan steps forward and kisses Cody on his cheeks.)
Obi-Wan, smiling: All good things I hope, Commander. I have a feeling that we’ll get along quite well—Commander? Cody? Are you quite alright?
(Cody stands utterly still not blinking or even breathing.)
Cody, slowly lowers helmet back over his head: *screeches into the void*
Within seconds there’s a procession made up of thousands of troopers going out of the hanger and blocking speeder traffic, all waiting to “greet” General Kenobi. Anakin watches, horrified, as he spots several troopers put on chapstick and taking quick spritzes of breath spray.
The Jedi make a lot more sense if you look at them through the lens of harm reduction.
A lot of criticisms run along the lines of "they lost the moral high ground by joining the war" and framing the discussion like that misses the point entirely.
It was never about having an arbitrary amount of Good Guy Points at the end of the day. It was about lessening harm as much as their position allowed.
In fact, if you go into any discussion about how to help people with the idea that there is a moral high ground, you've already lost! You are having the wrong conversation. Keep walking.
There is no good or bad here. Just people.
I don't want people to do hard drugs, because it's bad for them. However, I cannot wave a magic wand and make people stop wanting to do drugs. You know what I can do, though? Support a needle exchange program!
I don't want people to do hard drugs, but I've accepted that a needle exchange will alleviate suffering. Does increasing access to harmful drugs go against my personal sense of ethics? Sure! Does that change the fact that needle exchanges help people survive long enough until they can get into treatment? Nope!
The war was never gonna vanish if the Jedi resisted being drafted. They realized that. They understood that the way they could do the most good, spare the most lives, was by accepting the appointment and having some power to effect change rather than none at all.
Is it a perfect solution? Of course not! But harm reduction is about accepting that there are no perfect solutions, and that you are sometimes gonna have to do shit you don't personally like in order to help.
Helping people is not about your ego. It doesn't matter how you feel about the zoomed-out conceptual view, because your personal feelings have no bearing on someone else's suffering.
Anytime the argument drifts into bleating about how peacekeepers shouldn't fight, the thread is lost.
Holy HELL this is good...
Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames Breaking the habit and melting the chains Embracing the fear, chasing the fight The glow of the fire will light up the night The bridges are burning, the heat’s on my face Making the past an unreachable place Pouring the fuel, fanning the flames I know, this is the point of no return
Point of no return by Starset is a great song and it always reminds me of shin teikoku Genda so here we are now
