"you mean the will of the force?"

"no. the whale of the force."

Round-Up Part Three!

As of this very posting, did you know that the Codywan Fandom is now 69 first kisses richer than they were at the start of the month?  It’s true!  Sixty-Nine new first kisses from newbies and veterans of fandom.  Your CWFKB mods been so impressed with everyone’s different takes on the prompts, but we would like to shout out everyone who’s filled the “dip kiss” prompt with Cody getting to be the one dipped– we think these fills very well may have quadrupled the number of “Cody is the one being dipped” works in fandom.  

If you haven’t posted yet or if you signed up for a card and haven’t been able to participate the way that you’d hoped, please accept our “don’t worry about it!” kiss on your forehead.  While the event itself is time-limited for the sake of counting up bingos and blackouts, we’d love to see your fills whenever you have the time and inspiration to share them– just tag the blog and we’ll share your first kiss whenever it’s ready– you can’t hurry love, after all!

And finally, please remember that comments and reblogs feed hungry authors and artists– we’re all already in love with codywan and smooshing their faces together to KISS, so please don’t feel shy about telling your fellow first kissers how much you love them, too, for helping to bring more codywan love into galaxies near and far, far away.  You can start with a reblog of this post to share all the fills for the week, and when you get a chance, drop your co-creators a smooch-moji, a keysmash, or an eloquent tag essay in appreciation.  

All our amazing fills are below the cut:

I think a nightmare situation (for someone) is Anakin getting dosed with truth serum in TCW

And everyone's like "Oh, he's going to confess to the Amidala thing," and he's just like "I have murdered babies"

In front of like. Half the council.

"Obi-Wan did you know about--" "NO"

"Ahsoka please leave the room while we figure out what the fuck is going on. You shouldn't be here." [sounds of the pedestal she put Anakin on just crumbling]

They were expecting Anakin to admit he's horny and stupid about Padme and maybe planning to leave for her post-war. They were not expecting 'yeah I did a massacre,' okay?!

"Oh, we'll finally be able to stop pretending we don't know, and he'll stop being really awkward and pathetic about his affair!" Nope, it's so much worse.

I've seen truth serum fics for Anakin before but it's almost always for a Romance Confession and like. No. I want him to fuck up his entire career by admitting to an atrocity he committed. He deserves to fuck up his career at the minimum. He has killed so many people. Please make him go to therapy or something.

 #i am imagining it starts with him admitting being married to padme #just as everyone (possibly including him) is realising hes been hit with truth serum #because anakin has shoved the tuskens deep deep down and refuses to think about it #but he thinks about his wife so so much #so he's just like 'secret things i shouldnt tell you? i am married' because thats whats on his mind a lot

#jedi are just like 'hmm well we kind of knew you were together we didnt know abiut the married but okay this isnt a surprise'

#someone (mace?) is like 'we will definitely talk about this later but it is probably unfair to do an interrogation with you like this #'we can wait for the effects to wear off' #and then someone else just asks when they got married #not maliciously! not trying to take advantage of anakins state! they just are genuinely curious and okay a little bit after gossip #and anakin just... has not enough filter to avoid giving a fair bit of their history

#the council very quickly goes from 'this truth serum is leavi g you deeply vulnerable and we appreciate you are not in control right now' #to 'okay most of these questions should wait until you can consent to talk but no we need to make sure there are no more hidden horrors' #they are still treading lightly and like refusing to ask about anything non-essential

#(before the subject abruptly changed there had been at least three jedi debating ethics of having anakin fess up to destroying that statue #he actually didnt do it and despite being prime suspect he had nothing to do with it #anakin would have preferred they ask tbh he would like to clear that up but uh now its serious and art is forgotten)

#especially if it had started off funny. ahsoka teasingly making anakin admit that he actually thinks her shirt looks awful #accidental emotions when he admits hes very proud of her #obi wan trying to convince her its unfair to ask anakin when he cant meaningfully decide #but obi wan also cant help but ask anakins opinion on the new tea he got that obi wan knew anakin had despised but drank his cup anyway

#its fun! its cute! its just shenanigns! #and then it isnt (via @12freddofrogs)

TALES OF THE JEDI 1.05 - Practice Makes Perfect || AHSOKA 1.07 - Dreams and Madness

Captain Rex + Emojis (insp)

Obi-Wan's first and only search for his soulmate leads to a devastating realization.

Pairing: Jango Fett/Obi-Wan Kenobi

Kallus, losing control of his filter: I love you

Zeb, in shocked disbelief: again-

Kallus, who was seconds from back pedaling: what?

Zeb, who has been waiting for him to say these words for months: Say it again. Please.

Kallus, with more intent and sureness: I love you, Garazeb.

brainworms took over 0-o

-x-

“I love you,” Kallus blurted.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he gasped, clamping his hand over his mouth. Why in the whole wide galaxy had he just done that? You didn’t just tell people you loved them, not when you had been their mortal enemy not even a year before, not when you chased their family down like a rabid dog, not when you helped exterminate their people. The concept was ridiculous, the execution something to be mocked and scorned.

He watched Zeb’s ears shoot up in surprises. The Lasat turned from the engine he had been fiddling with, green eyes wide, expression utterly unreadable.

Karabast, I’m done for, Kallus thought. Zeb was walking over to him. Maybe it was just a few steps, only two or three, but eternity was contained in that distance.

Why did you say that? Why did you say that?! Alexsandr Kallus, you are an utter fool!

“Again.”

Kallus’ hammering heart screeched to a halt. A soft hand wrapped around his wrist, fur tickling the window of skin made between his glove and jacket. One thumb rested on the beat of his pulse.

Gently, the Lasat pulled his hand away from his mouth.

“Say it again,” Zeb said, and his eyes nearly glowed in Yavin’s dying light. “Please.”

Kallus swallowed back a lump in his throat. “I love you,” he repeated, confidence unfurling in him like a flower in the light. The pad of Zeb’s thumb glided on his wrist in small circles.

“Please,” Zeb said, voice choked with emotion. “Say it again.”

The racing in Kallus’ heart calmed, the searing heat of panic cooled. With a shy smile, he reached down for Zeb’s other hand.

“Garazeb Orrelios, I love you,” he repeated. The violet peak of Zeb’s ears flicked again, this time in a pleased motion. The Lasat locked his fingers around Kallus’, and pulled him close.

“Been waitin’ for you to say that for a while now,” he murmured, and before Kallus could even think of what to say next, Zeb leaned down and kissed all the questions, all the doubt from him.

THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED AND MORE. Thank you so much!!! 🥺🥺🥺 I am giving you the biggest hug and so many forehead kisses!!! Thank you, this is beautiful and I utterly adore it!!!

the thing about codywan’s lightsaber scenes that absolutely guts me is that in tcw arc about keeping another’s saber (where they directly say it’s used in a romantic connotation) is that for the other couple, it’s a purposeful demonstration. it’s used to PROVE something. it’s used because that feeling of trust isn’t being properly portrayed in their relationship, so this is their proof. this is their display of that.

but, for codywan, it’s completely natural. there isn’t any extensive thought put into it. it just… happens.

the reason Obi-Wan throws his lightsaber to Cody specifically is because both he and Cody feel that deep, steady trust organically. it’s not something that needs to be said in words. they live that trust out, every day. it developed over time, much like their appreciation for each other. there’s no need to prove it. it just… exists. it’s not a show of anything. it just happens. and it’s so natural that it happens twice.

they trust each other, wholly and completely, and it’s never something shown through big gestures. it’s just the little things, because they don’t Need big things. they know exactly how they feel for one another on their own. and i really, really like that.

so you know how the jedi are supposed to be longer-lived even as compared to other members of their own species because of their relationship with the force?

i think that prolonged exposure to the jedi should have that effect, too. i think in a better galaxy, the clones that the jedi have invited into their lives and their home should just completely blow right past any and all life expectancies projected for them, because the light loves its children, even the ones that can't feel it in the same way, and they've all suffered enough.

it's the least of what they both deserve.

Obi-Wan flattens Cody into a crater. The dust clears and you just see them laying there. Obi-Wan tries to move and groans. Cody coughs.

“Nice catch, Cody...”

“When have I... *wince*... ever let you down... sir...”

Military Propaganda

After the filming crew mysteriously vanished, an investigation was launched. In light of the successful promotional video and General Kenobis insistance to have never even welcomed them on board it was dropped pretty fast though.

The marshal commander has a fanclub now.

“…and for what?”
