this is one of the most important au's ever. to me. if you even care.
leia: hey luke just curious why do you wear nubian royal makeup?
luke: the what now
ok so basically, padme is luke's childhood "imaginary friend."
she can't speak so she can't tell him about everything, but he does find out that she's actually his mom. when he's like. 10 or something. i have a whole thing planned out for it.
yes she beats obi-wan's ass. yes it happened i saw it with my own eyes.
yes this au is also very much an excuse to draw luke in padme's makeup for the entirety of the ot and see how that changes things.
And where I normally would’ve said ‘Halt his face was in the shadows so Will couldn’t see his expression after he accepted to become Halt’s apprentice? God what a creepy and rude man’
I now thought
‘You can’t see his face? THAT MAN IS FUCKING SMILING. I WILL BET MY MONEY ON IT.’
my roman empire is the fact that the kippen siblings headcanon was so strong that most of the fandom refer to her as amber kippen and write about her and tj’s incredible bond in fanfics, despite them never interacting ??
it’s been said before but i will never stop saying it: i am so incredibly grateful for this fruity little pirate show, about how boldly and unapologetically queer it is!! david, rhys, taika, every person cast and crew- the decision to not only keep queerness in the story, but to focus the entire narrative around it- the jokes that are not made at the expense of queerness, but are crafted lovingly with the beauty of it?? the easy acceptance of jim’s gender? the drag night and the crew’s immediate loving support of lucius and pete’s engagement?? even while they’re being tortured!! the relationship developing between archie and jim, the way they’re as fiercely protective of each other as ed and stede are of each other? the fact we even get to see two older men have a loving sexual encounter- and have one of them bring his partner breakfast in bed the next day? the fact that said sexual affair was not dismissed or played for a cheap joke- but as a means to develop stede and ed’s relationship with each other (and ed’s relationship with himself)? izzy saying openly to stede he loves ed?? izzy sharing a tender moment with stede after ed leaves him?? supporting him?? singing fucking la vie en rose for the crew’s little party with his beautiful little voice?? izzy being so purposefully kind and trying to repair what’s been broken despite his heartbreak at watching the man he’s in love with be with another, a man who is just better for ed and helps him to become the best version of himself he can be?? the different kinds of queer relationships shown, all beautiful and with their own triumphs and issues? the sheer diversity of all of the crew members and supporting characters??
there are One Million things i could go on about, but i’m just. so so thankful i get to live to see things change, to see acceptance and representation and a story so focused around queer love. fuck. as an aspiring filmmaker who’s trans, queer, and indigenous- it makes me so happy and emotional and hopeful. i love this show, y’all.
