i've been rewatching lucifer on netflix, and i finally hit season 3 and it occurred to me that the season would have been so much better if pierce was the love interest for lucifer, rather than chloe. they had so much more chemistry together in that single episode where lucifer and pierce were pretending to be domestic together as a sting in the neighborhood than chloe and pierce had all season long. and it would have fixed a long-standing issue with the show where chloe never really had to fight for lucifer. he was always the one putting in all the work and effort, changing substantially, while chloe didn't do anything for the first three seasons but insult lucifer and then in the fourth season, try to literally murder him. having a season where chloe feels like she's in genuine danger of losing her partner to someone else and having to actually fight for him would have helped the relationship feel a lot more equal

made a comic of a line from @yellowocaballero ‘s Way of All Traitors, from i think chapter 6. having many thoughts about this line and many others, would highly recommend this fic, you dont even need to be a star wars fan/that familiar with the source material. very heart wrenching

Mustang was very brave to build his team with a chronically-single french man, a guy who was born for IT in a world without, a guy who's definitely from their equivalent of New York, two orphans that are homeless by choice, his not-wife that he has a suicide pact with, and Vato Falman

I was looking up Lucifer fan fiction and saw one of them was tagged with Rory Morningstar and for a second I couldn't remember who that was then it hit me like a ton of bricks
I just had a horrible angsty half dream/half groggy morning thoughts about Obi-Wan and his title of Negotiator. (might write a 1-shot about this idea at some point, but if anyone else wants to as well, go for it!)
Ok, what if the clones are so excited to work with General Kenobi at first. His file is filled with past battle missions, but not so much on his negotiating missions.
and as they continue to work together, and learn more about Obi-Wan, what if they start picking up on his Negotiator tactics. Like on mission where they have to talk to the locals, Obi-Wan is able to weave facts, compliments and suggestions together to make a beautiful tapestry of manipulation to get what they need.
At first, the clones don't see anything wrong with this. its for the war effort, and most locals they talk to have been republic friendly, so were happy to help anyways. the sweet talking was just to make it all go faster.
But then they start pushing out towards the outer rim, with neutral planets. and suddenly, that "Negotiator Charm" is starting to rub the clones the wrong way. Suddenly, they are seeing their General talk circles around village leaders, and local military personell. Obi-Wan, always with a smile, as he manipulates these people into helping them.
Again. Its for the war effort. They may feel a little uncomfortable at these moments but they understand why it must be done.
only. I'm sure its hard for someone like Obi-Wan, who wears his Negotiator persona and silver tongue like a Beskar mask, to just... turn it off.
What if he starts subconciously doing this with the clones. And not anything big! ever. Obi-Wan does know how little choice the clones have in their lives and never wants to put them in a situration where they loose all choise. (battle orders are different).
so little things. Waiting for the newest medic to check on him to say just the right things to get him released. stringing together complex words and themes to confuse troopers to agreeing to a wild scheme. dropping little phrases that will get a trooper to react how he wants in training.
I can see it coming to a head one day when Obi-Wan realizes that many of the clones do not engage in conversations with him much anymore. Even Cody has started to be short with him during their holopad form nights.
So of course he tries to talk to Cody about this, but he can't just come out and ask it! no of course not! so he talks circles around the elephant in the room, trying to get Cody to talk to him. Until finally he snaps.
"Do you know how little we clones have to ourselves, sir?"
"Wha- Yes, Cody I do, what does this have to do wit-"
"Becuase from where I'm sitting, you don't know a damn thing... sir."
"Cody- I- I assur you that I-"
"No. because if you knew, you would know the only things, the ONLY things that is really truly ours is our mind. and our paint. Not even the armor itself is truly ours, it all belongs to the Republic. but the designs we print on the armor is ours. its our identity. Our mind wasn't even always safe. Got to out of line, to independant and the Kaminoans took you way and made you different."
"cody..."
"But now we have our own space, away from the long necks, away from the fear of being reconditioned, of taking one of the few things we clones consider ours. And you go and take away what little we have left."
"I would never-"
"but you have. You have General. How many times have you waited specifically for Steth to get him to realese you from the medbay when you know Bones did not give you the clear. How many times have you twisted our words to win some silly little argument. How many times have you called on Wooley, because you know he'd take yourside in almost anything becasue he believes in you and the Jedi so much."
"..."
"these might be small things to you General. but to us. they show you are no longer safe"
and that would just break Obi-Wan. Being a Jedi is all about being that one safe person. and Obi-Wan, conciously or not, has been deeply betraying his men to point most of them no longer feel comfortable even talking to him.
It would probably send him into a panic attack right then and there when realizing what hes done. (of course he doesn't let cody know hes having one, that would be even more manipulative (obi is a lil dumbass)) would wait till Cody left to have a full breakdown.
He was on the diplomatic track as a Padawan, following Qui-Gon's specialty. He's had to wear his negotiator mask far longer they even he himself realized. constantly being reinforced by the things he experienced and the people he talked to. It just became so ingrained in him, the mask = staying alive.
I can imagine this going 2 different ways. either the full angst mode, where Obi-Wan is never able to get back to the comraderie he once had with his troops, trust too far strained. Obi-Wan grieves those connections, and it definitely takes a toll on his physical health. But Obi-Wan carries on. he was expecting something to happen. after all, everyone always ends up leaving him or hating him.
OR the hurt/comfort mode, where Obi-Wan goes full isolation as "retribution" or whatever and the clones, while still wary, realize that his Negotiatior persona, and his manipulations, are just as much a defense mechanism as the clone's armor. maybe after one too many reckeless missions where Obi-Wan has thrown himself infront of troopers to save them, desperately trying to attone for the mistakes he made. So they come together and help the General from his isolation and lack of self care and self depricating thoughts and actions.
They talk, and Obi-Wan talks directly. no metaphors, no fancy word play or beating around the bush. Obi-Wan talks about his padawan ship, and how his wit and quick words have been the only things that have protected him in the past. they work together to losen that mask, and come up with a code word that basically means "you are getting a lttle to negotiatory right now, please talk as plainly as you can". and it works. Obi starts to differentiate between friends and family, from work. able to keep The Negotiator separeate from Obi-Wan.
I just think pairing up Clones that had little to no freedom growing up with a Jedi that is able to twist words with a charming smile would, at somepoint, lead to disaster.
Me, just starting off the malevolent podcast: ah yes arthur and John will be able to compliment each other's knowledge! Arthur will be able to understand human motivations and John will be able to identify and give insight on any supernatural creatures they encounter ^_^ makes sense
John, encountering literally any supernatural creature: jesus christ what the fuck is that fucking hell arthur i don't know what that iiiiiiiiiis run the fuck away arthur!!!!!
