#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.
Arthur: Never question your wife's choices. Remember, you were one of them.
Remus: That is exactly why I question her choices.

Once again thinking about: "He was only fifteen-" "I'm fifteen!"
Imagine being Harry and finding out that one of the worst people you've ever met who does nothing but belittle and degrade you, who has become the antithesis of everything you aspire to be, is the victim of the exact person you believed to be the gold standard.
Because for years, everyone was telling Harry one thing about James while Snape was saying another and, for years, Harry had been comfortable believing Snape was the one who was wrong.
So, imagine being Harry and all you have left of your parents is the memories people choose to share with you, so you take all the scraps and make this Frankenstein idealistic version of your parents because, for a moment, it makes you feel like you actually know them.
And then, just in case you forgot, reality reminds you in maybe the worst way that you don't know these people at all.
writing as therapy. writing as healing. writing as discovery. writing as self-love. writing as making sense of the dark. writing as rebirth.
it’s funny how we can read the same two people falling in love 200,000 different times and never get tired of it
