Just hanging out

I really do love it when a character gets to safety after some grueling experience they survived and got out of by their own strength and skill and cunning, and... then gets drastically worse very rapidly afterwards. Just utterly collapsing, sick, out of strength, in so much pain, hardly able to get out of bed without help, probably emotionally an utter mess too

Because they've just been pushing their body on and on, to its limits and past, because they had to, because it was up to them to deal with it all, there was no help, no back-up, nothing to rely on but themself. So their mind and body have just burned up all the reserves and endured it all as best as possible, they've held together until they got out of that situation

But now that they're finally safe, their body recognizes it. Now that they're finally safe they no longer need to endure more, they no longer need to keep anything together, to push the pain and exhaustion aside and refuse to feel it in order to go on. They're finally safe to stop all of that. And so- they collapse. All of it catches up with them all at once, and they have no optipn to keep it at bay anymore, they just have to feel it. Have to suffer the consequences of all the injuries, exhaustion, whatever illness they might've picked up, whatever's going on

- Young Anakin develops a habit of sitting on Obi-Wan when he wants to bug him. This is funny when he's 11 but much more threatening and hilarious at 21

- Obi-Wan refuses to cooperate with medical during the Clone wars and full grown General Knight Skywalker just sits on him saying something like "stop being so stubborn, don't make me call Qui-Gon on your short ass" (Anakin will use their height difference against Obi-Wan at any opportunity)

- "Don't make me call Qui-Gon" is how they keep each other in line. It works on both of them no matter how old. Qui-Gon isn't sure how to take this but he thinks it's positive

- on the flip side, they'll both do something stupid and follow up with "not a word to Qui-Gon"

- The absolute blatant disrespect goes both ways. Other Jedi are shocked when the serene unflappable Master Kenobi casually calls the Chosen One Himself 'ten kinds of a spice addled idiot' and flicks him when anakin is being annoying

- Obi-Wan is in a council meeting and he misses a call from Anakin, somehow the message plays out loud and it's just "pick up your comm nerf herder"

- on a softer side, Anakin sometimes stays over at Obi-Wan's knight quarters when things are tense with Qui-Gon. Obi-Wan knows what it's like being 'too angry/too emotional/too old' to be a 'proper' padawan, and he knows what it's like being apprenticed to the well-meaning disaster that is Qui-Gon, so he can offer support that both helps Anakin feel better and keeps him out of Skeevy Sheevy's claws

- Qui-Gon also needs a lot more recuperating after being shish kabobed, so Obi-Wan takes over some of Anakin's basic training. He still insists he doesn't like Anakin at this point even while gently guiding him through katas and motherhenning him about eating vegetables

Idk these are just some things off the top of my head but I would kill for this dynamic

The request is so urgent my boss needs it by the end of the work week. Which, y'know, is 5 PM on a Friday. So I have four hours to do it.

It's a forwarded request. Somebody contacted a member of the donation team asking for help, "I need a map from the Vietnam War to use for a presentation." It's somebody she's trying to coax into giving a five figure donation to the museum.

The request was asked to the donation team member, who then emailed my boss, who then emailed and called me urgently.

This map required:

North and South Vietnam in it

All four areas that South Vietnam was divided into for military purposes ('Corps') clearly delineated

Four cities, all of them horrifically misspelled, and only identifiable because I know what battle the requester is asking about (it’s in III Corps on the border with Cambodia) (the requester danced around the battle but I’m knowledgeable enough to identify it)

Has Laos and Cambodia in it

Has the Ho Chi Minh Trail in it

So. I was mad about the 'you have literally four hours to find a map with a lot of requirements.'

I was then mad at myself about finding a copyright free map from Texas Tech University within half an hour, proving her right for asking me to do it.

Then, after I found a map that perfectly met the requirements, I was equally amazed, baffled, and horrified when I read further into the forwarded email chain.

The donation team team member they were speaking to used AI to generate a map.

The above put half of North Vietnam in South Vietnam, made the Ho Chi Minh Trail a country, made 60% of Cambodia part of South Vietnam, put the DMZ extremely high up in North Vietnam, completely disconnected the southern tip of Vietnam, misplaced all of the Corps zones, etc etc

At the very last second the donation team member had a moment of divine clarity, remembering there's three historians on payroll to ask for this kind of thing from. So she contacted my boss while saying, "I had fun with this, but I decided I should check for accuracy before I send it to the donor! I need a fact check by the end of the day, then I send it"

My boss, while not the most knowledgeable on the Vietnam War, does know her geography. She took one look, and knew it was so off she called me to tell me how urgent it is that I look at the email and respond
