hallo tarantasina! thank you for the ask!

5. How many WIP do you have? to the Documents! 29. Most will never see the light of day though.

8. Who are some of your favourite authors in your fandom? to the bookmarks for a little dive! ok, so names that come up a couple times or they wrote a particular fic that stuck with me: TGCF - curiositykilled, Naamah_Beherit, ThreePlums, capyshota, etymologyplayground, Boomchick, fizzygingr SVSSS - AceOfDivineChlorophyll, namelessayakashi (TheCourtSorcerer), zarasu, NeonGhostCat, esama, Star Wars - K_R_Closson, imaginarykat, Elfpen, esama

10. What makes a fic 'successful' in your opinion? anyone reads it and likes it is all i'm hoping for really, anything beyond that is a surprise and a delight! always a slut for getting art tho.

16. Is there a type of fic you would never write? modern AUs. They're just not for me.

24. What are some of your favourite tropes? H/C, time travel, getting together, angst, fix its in general.

32. What's a fic you'd love to write, but probably never will? I don't know, cause if I want to write it, then I will?

38. Are there any popular tropes/themes you'd never write? again, the ol' modern AU and really any sort of setting AU is not really my jam. Never say never of course, but it would be unusual. I love Canon Setting. Oh sad endings too, defo never going to write one of those, I love angst, but that shit's gotta have the soft shit at the end.

18. One of them wakes up with amnesia (Option A because two people sent in this prompt number and I liked both ideas I saw for it enough to not want to pick) this involves an Obi-Wan that got deaged as well as lost his memories so he's Phantom Menace Obi-Wan. no i will not be explaining. hand wavey drabble fic writing.

--

The man has not stopped staring, but something in his intense gaze makes Obi-Wan feel safe. Almost. Well. On edge, yes, but. Protected. He has the strange feeling that he’d rather be under this man’s stare than anywhere else in the entire galaxy.

But he knows he’s never seen this man before in his life, the same way that he knows he’s twenty-five and that Qui-Gon Jinn is his Master, that he’s a Jedi knight-in-training, that he hates teas with mint leaves in them, that he’ll never say no to a drink with Quinlan, that--well.

He supposes none of that stuff could be true anymore. Vokra Che, who’s a grown and certified healer master now, had told him what had happened. An older version of himself had touched something he wasn’t supposed to. The closest translation they could find to the runes on the object was that it would transform the user back to their most balanced state. Obi-Wan’s had, apparently, been at the age of twenty-five. He hadn’t recognized the name Anakin Skywalker. He had never been to Naboo.

He throws the rest of his drink back and waves to the bartender to pour him another. He’d gone straight here from the Halls of Healing. He’d had a shadow the entire way, but the man has yet to try to talk to him at all. It’s infuriating.

My friend!!!! 💙💙💙

A part of me wonders if I wrote the archaeologist fic just to make demon fic Obi-Wan look reasonable by comparison. Yeah he's dating a demon, but at least he's trying to help him improve! Human Anakin, meanwhile, is like "it's okay that Obi-Wan keeps murdering bad people, it's actually probably for the best because those people sucked, my boyfriend is so handsome and smart and smells good."

I'm happy my brand is now "one human guy and one magic guy fall in love." How far can I push that? What other kinds of non-human things can these people be?

Genius robotics engineer Anakin makes his most advanced model yet: Obi-Wan, a handsome android who knows everything, except how to love.

(For these asks!)

5. Is Obikin your OTP in the Star Wars verse? Or do you love other ships just as much?

I like Anidala and Obianidala pretty well too, and a few others a little bit less, but obikin's pretty much my OTP! Or brotp, depending on the fic

8. Tell us a quick headcanon that you have about Obikin.

Anakin blushes really hard whenever Obi-Wan flirts worth him and Obi-Wan flirts with him on purpose to see it

9. Tell us a fandom headcanon that you’re a fan of.

Now I can't think of anything 😂 whenever one of them is in the medbay, the other stays right by their side and can't be convinced to leave

11. Where do you consume the most Obikin content? (Tumblr, AO3, Wattpad, Twitter, etc).

Either tumblr or ao3!! Both give me a lot of food throughout the day

19. What genre do you prefer to read and/or write for for this ship: fluff, angst, hurt/comfort, alternative universe, or canon divergence? (or other!)

Depends on my mood, because I love reading (and somewhat writing) all of these! I will say that alternate universe and canon divergence are my favorite for,,, obvious reasons lol

20. What is your all time favourite Obikin fanfic?

Noooo I can't just choose one I love so many 😭😭😭 wicked thing obviously, if I only knew, Conceal Me What I Am, Equinox, Parrots, Parkour, Pirates, Punk, and Perfect Strangers, and...... many many more lol

23. What trope would you love to see more of in Obikin fanfiction?

Another hard one!! Most of the time I don't know what I want until something hits the spot and I'm done reading and its just like "more please 🥺🥺🥺"

But maybe? Enemies to lovers? Friends to lovers? Soulmates? Smut and humor across the board, really 😂

29. What trope would you love to see more of in Obikin fanart?

Since Orochimaru defected when she was still very young, she didn’t have a chance to build a relationship with him. 

Her relationship with Kabuto is…interesting. Initially when she approached him, he found her amusing and didn’t see any harm in teaching her a few tricks (it’s something Konoha’s Kabuto would do, anyway). What he didn’t expect was for her to stick around. 

And like, that wasn’t supposed to happen. No one was supposed to notice Konoha’s Kabuto, much less get attached to him. Konoha’s Kabuto is just your average, run-of-the-mill, fade-into-the-background kind of guy; there’s nothing special about him save for perhaps his inability to pass the chuunin exams. He’s friendly but not charismatic, knowledgeable but not physically skilled. But for whatever reason Hyuuga Hinata saw something in him– and it’s not due to some acting failure on his part, he knows how good he is at his job, you don’t survive long as a spy otherwise– and in some strange way, she almost reminds him of Orochimaru-sama. They’re the only two people to ever succeed in glimpsing something behind his mask (what they see, he has no idea– he doesn’t know what’s behind the mask himself), although they’re complete opposites in every other way. 

“You shouldn’t do that,” Konoha’s Kabuto says, forced calm in his voice the morning he finds her in his kitchen. Hinata grins, seemingly clueless to how close she was to getting a kunai in the throat. 

“You didn’t show up to breakfast so I thought I’d stop by” she says airily, waving him off. “Besides, I knew you wouldn’t hurt me.”

“Did you?” He asks mildly. He relaxes, slipping an easygoing smile on his face because Konoha’s Kabuto isn’t threatening. Konoha’s Kabuto isn’t dangerous. “I’ve told you over and over that you trust too easily, Hinata-chan. I mean, how well do you know me really? I could be the next Uchiha Itachi, for all you know.” 

Konoha’s Kabuto says this as a gently chiding statement, his tone that of a concerned mentor. 

“I know you well enough to know that you’re no Uchiha Itachi,” she snorts, glancing at him. “That kind of mass murder really isn’t your style, Kabuto-senpai.” 

He chuckles, leaning against the kitchen counter.

“Oh? And what else have you noticed about me, Hinata-chan? Do tell, I’m very curious,” Konoha’s Kabuto says, amused. Konoha’s Kabuto is the type of person to indulge those under him.  

“How about we make it a game? I tell you something about you, you tell me something about me, winner gets…well, you already owe me lunch for standing me up, so how about loser treats winner to dinner?” She suggests brightly.

“Very well. Since I suppose it’s my turn, hmm…you secretly hate pressing flowers. The only reason you do it is because you don’t want to disappoint that blonde friend of yours,” he says.

She blinks. 

“Wow, you are observ–wait. You got me a handbook on pressing flowers for my last birthday,” she accuses, narrowing her eyes.

“Just because you dislike doing something doesn’t mean you can’t improve,” he replies innocently. 

“Fine. Is that how we’re doing this? You’re not half as absent-minded as you pretend to be. No one ‘forgets’ to bring their wallet along that often, even if your teammates somehow haven’t caught on yet,” she retorts.

“You downplay your skills when you’re around your peers,” he says, crossing his arms with a smile.

“You’re a lot more skilled at healing than you pretend to be.”

“You had a detailed knowledge of the human body even before you started your lessons with me,” he says. “You weren’t at all bothered the first time you saw a dead body, and you didn’t hesitate in the slightest when it came to dissecting that rabbit. And you were what, eight? Very curious, wouldn’t you say?”

“Yes, well, the Hyuuga library contains a wealth of knowledge. I’m very fortunate to have that,” Hinata replies noncommittally.

“Yes, so fortunate. After all, we all know that’s the traditional method for learning how to suture– reading about it in a book,” he says sardonically. 

Hinata folds her arms over her chest. “You don’t care for your teammates. You find them immature and incompetent. You don’t care for your jounin-sensei either.”

“And you absolutely despise the majority of your family. You don’t know how to deal with that, so you avoid them as much as you can. It’s one of the reasons why you spend so much time over at the old Uchiha compound,” Kabuto says, feeling an odd sense of satisfaction at seeing her face pale. Briefly he wonders if he’s gone too far. Konoha’s Kabuto doesn’t say things like that. Konoha’s Kabuto doesn’t get enjoyment out of hurting–

“Your glasses mean the world to you.”

It’s all Kabuto can do to stop himself from stiffening. 

“Excuse me?” He asks.

“You have the knowledge and the skill to fix your own eyesight, yet you never have. You’ve broken the lenses at least two times but you’ve never replaced the frames. You’re always extremely careful about protecting your face in a fight,” she says, voice steady. 

“The reason you keep your hair so short is because when you wear your hair long, you remind your father of your mother,” Kabuto says softly. He takes a step closer to her and tilts his head to the side. “Did it hurt? Back when he couldn’t bring himself to look at you?”

“You could have passed the chuunin exams and yet for some reason, you chose to fail,” she says, just as quietly. “Why is that, Kabuto-senpai?”

He takes a deep breath and then just looks at her for a moment. 

“You aren’t loyal to Konoha,” he says finally. 

“Neither are you,” she replies.  

(tl;dr basically they’re both deeply taken aback by how much the other person has managed to notice and they both get carried away. Also this wasn’t supposed to happen, they were supposed to have a nice conversation about idk, identity issues/what it means to be a person, not…not whatever this was. On the bright side, I can see this developing into an interesting dynamic. I kind of like the idea of two characters, both used to lying all the time– or at least, hiding a part of themselves– being completely honest with each other.) 

5) character you were most surprised to end up writing

TFA Sentinel Prime. 8D I also was surprised how much I enjoyed writing him! 

7) when asked, are you embarrassed or enthusiastic to tell people that you write?

In real life, embarrassed. Because then people usually start asking what I write, and I’m like, UUUUMMMMM

I really don’t want to explain robot porn to irl people, so usually I don’t share that I write at all. 

11) what aspect of your writing do you think has most improved since you started writing?

Style. I think I’ve always had good ideas, but in the beginning I really struggled with putting words together. I still have a lot to improve, but that’s what makes it an interesting journey! 

15) why did you start writing?

Answered here. 8D but you know the story, Plushie. 

17) if you could give your fledgling author self any advice, what would it be?

Ask people for critique. However, don’t blindly follow every recommendation you get. Don’t try to be like someone, but rather work on improving you own style. 

18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they? 

I honestly don’t know. I don’t think so? Maybe there are works that influenced me, but I am not consciously aware of it. 

22) are there any subjects that make you uncomfortable to write?

Mindbreak, slavery, abuse and such things when they aren’t written as something horrible. I do like me some dark bleak hopelessness sometimes, but it should be clear in the text it is wrong - otherwise I will not feel okay writing it. Usually I prefer to end such things with rescue and healing, though. 

23) any obscure life experiences that you feel have helped your writing?

Hm. Well. Let me tell you a secret: I’ve never fallen in love. Ever. I do not know what romantic love feels like. Yet I write about it all the time. 

My point of reference? That time when I was a teenager and I had really deep feelings towards a certain fictional character. I’m still not sure I can say I was in love, but this was probably the closest thing. 

I haven’t felt anything like it since then, though. 

24) have you ever become an expert on something you previously knew nothing about, in order to better a scene or a story?

Not an expert, but I do know stuff about Ancient Egypt and its mythology. I read scientific monographies on it. I reconstructed the city network of Nile’s delta during the Old Kingdom. I learned what food was eaten and how people bathed. I learned how religion changed as the history progressed. 

All because I shipped Seth and Horus. 

Your blog is nice and you have a nice sense of humor! I hope you'll have a good day! <3
