#the "well first off Padme isn't you" it's so on point, honestly
When I see fans going like"Why is Padme attracted to Anakin when Obi-Wan is right there" I am like well first off Padme isn´t you.
Second, Obi-Wan is a good Jedi and friend for Padme, who, like her, is skilled at discourse and a little bit at manipulation but he is also a judgemental sarcastic little gremlin who calls people and children he has yet to meet but have managed to annoy him a little bit "pathetic lifeforms" and uses his mental powers to manipulate minds when he feels indisposed to deal with them and who believed romantic love was a weakness him and Anakin had to outgrown.
Anakin at 9, risked his life to give Padme the tools to go to Coruscant and try to save her planet despite the fact he was a slave and in need of help himself, then he went to war rightalongside her and singlehandely defeated the army that was trying to conquer her planet, then grew up, became very handsome and started telling her how he could not breathe if she didn´t love him, then agreed with her to stay away if that´s what SHE wanted and Padme used to deal with skilled politicians and manipulators 24/07 found his honestly resfreshing.
This isn´t truly so complicated people.
writing as therapy. writing as healing. writing as discovery. writing as self-love. writing as making sense of the dark. writing as rebirth.
this is actually a really helpful breakdown of canon law on marriage

If anybody had asked Amy what the greatest trial of her life was, she would have answered at once, “My nose.“ It was not big nor red, it was only rather flat, and all the pinching in the world could not give it an aristocratic point. No one minded it but herself, and it was doing its best to grow, but Amy felt deeply the want of a Grecian nose, and drew whole sheets of handsome ones to console herself.

What always strikes me like a punch to the gut, is how happy and in love Anakin looks in this picture.
We all know he loves Padme and to what extents he was willing to go to keep her (Exhibit A: Joining the dark side) but the happiness and love for Padme in his expression when she tells him they're going to be parents is another level.
It just strikes me how truly Anakin, a slave boy who had to watch his mother suffer since childhood, then leave her and see her again when she's dying, leaving with Qui-Gon, only to lose him immediately and then be treated like a misfit with the Jedi, who have told him again and again how attachments are forbidden; how he craves for a family.
His family. Which he can protect and love and cherish. Where he would belong. The happiness he felt at that moment.
That's why he was so afraid to lose something so close to his heart, why he was willing to give up his beliefs and all that he had worked for in his life. Because he wanted that family he had always missed. That's what makes his fall to the dark side even more tragic 💔.
I really dislike when people lack true manners. And I’m not talking about basic things like chewing with your mouth closed or saying thank you. I’m talking about having a genuine respect for others — gracefully making space for people on the sidewalk, choosing your words thoughtfully, and lifting others up with kind compliments. It’s about allowing others to have the first share or the best seat, and being able to take a deep breath and move on from conflicts, without needing anything in return. It’s not about neglecting yourself to serve others, but knowing there’s a beautiful balance. It warms my heart whenever I feel and see it happen.
My kink is very gross (true love).
