So I'm pulling most of this out of my ass, but-
I think such an underrated concept to explore is Padme's first few years as senator. Like, just the culture shock of that alone must be enormous, going from Naboo and being the highest voice of authority to suddenly being just one of thousands (or hundreds of thousands depending on what canon you choose).
The slow creeping realization that Palpatine didn't fix any of the problems he told her existed under Valorum. Seeing just how deep and pervasive it really is. Realizing that most of her peers are only there for their own gain, that their priorities are themselves and not the people they claim to serve. That building, burning fury at the injustice of that. That she seems to be one of the only people trying to fix anything. Anger strong enough she could rip someone apart with her teeth that her colleagues are actively trying to stop her from doing that.
And that deep, alienating realization that she is so so alone in caring about any of this.
#padme amidala#it's pretty apparent how corrupt the senate is in star wars but no one really acknowledges how soul crushing it would be for padme#day after day trying desperately to improve whatever she can only for it to break apart more#first with civil war and then with the empire#everyone focuses on the end but there would have been a gradual buildup to her there#trying to fight it must have been exhausting

nobody follows me here so i can freely scream into tbe void :33
i'm constantly plagued by that scene from RoTS with ani and padme on the balcony on coruscant.... they're so genuine and so silly and padme is So Excited to start spending the rest of their lives together,,, and it all goes downhill so fast ,,, truly doomed by the narrative . anakin does everything he can to potentially prevent padme's death but it ultimately plays out exactly how his visions showed,, and the dichotomy of padme dying in white and brining new life to the world, while anakin is ultimately experiencing a rebirth into someone who will bring mass destruction,,,, and how the paths eventually converge down the line and return balance to the force i am so fucking emotional over them all the time. bwah
#anakin skywalker#star wars#padme amidala#they loved eachother so FUCKING MUCH i just want them to be happy :(((#my partner got me on the whole 'watch star wars in chronological order' train and clone wars into ROTS broke me dude. it broke me#he wouldve done anything for her. he tried to do everything for her. he was her everything. his efforts to save her drove them apart#and its all palpatines fault. fucker

honestly im editing the first chapter now (9k!!!) so whichever option has the most votes by the time im finished editing wins ty ty
#obikin#i like them both equally and they both work well#given the whole marriage situation where one marriage falls apart because he's actually in love with obi-wan#but then also given that he's describing this great love and he doesn't mention padme's name so they think its obi-wan#both fit#theyre both also equal amounts bland and done tho too#so someone else decide thank you#<3 anyway new fic tonight tho

There have already been a bunch of posts made about it, but it’s so good that Mothma and Perrin are like clearly analogous for Padme and Anakin. 100% if none of the sith stuff ever happened there would be dinner parties where Padme is gritting her teeth cause Anakin invited Palpatine without asking her
#idk if jedi get paid salaries but I imagine they don’t or they just get expenses paid while on missions#so if Anakin left the order to be with Padme YOU KNOW he’s just gonna move into her apartment and mooch off her#andor

Radioactive Eldritch Jedi
Okay so when I say radioactive. The Force is primordial and eldritch and the jedi (and any other force users of a comparable level) resonate with the echoes of this primoridal of-the-world-and-yet-not-the-world energy like your body when you’re so close to a marching bacd you can feel the drums in your bones and they’re not the music or the instruments, they’re only the echo thereof, but the echo of something from the depths that bore the universe is still A Lot.
And when you look at them. There’s teeth that aren’t there the next minute, you could count them again and again for half an hour and never get the same number twice in a row. And that’s not mentioning when their teeth don’t fit in their mouth, don’t match each other, when there aren’t teeth in their mouths but claws...
That’s just one element of their face which is one element of their body.
You can smell them, even the species that don’t have particularly good senses of smell though it is far more distracting for them. Something fresh with light or rotting with dark, herby or sea salty or citrusy or floral and threaded with sweat or blood or sex to suit whatever they’ve been doing and it wouldn’t be remarkable except they smell simultaneously like their species and like something else entirely in a way that is clearly but indescribably not caused by soap or perfume or oil.
There’s a resonance in their voices. Something like there’s a drumbeat in their throat, like they’re speaking with the vibrations of a song you’ve always heard without knowing it, but always perfectly understandable. The sound of jedi singing in harmony with feeling has reduced cities to tears of joy or tears of pain, blood dripping from their ears in mirror of their tears.
Don’t get me started on their shadows, on the way they move in the dark
And they’d be leaking this strangeness 24/7 except they keep themselves so tightly shielded, not only hiding themselves so that they appear uncanny and not terrifyingly Other (they’ve been there time and time again and it is a problem. There are Consequences) but also keeping any of this force-energy-resonance leaking out into the world. Places where force sensitives have lived a long time thrum like a pulse, are touches with the energy of generations of force users relaxing enough to let their shields lower and their selves to leak and brush the walls and tables, etching their presences into the place like fire into wood, and when this touches people it changes them.
Not immediately. Not quickly. It can take months for anything to change and this is why jedi keep their shields maintained, because if you’re fully shielded nothing will happen, and this is part of why attachments are risky, because the emotion can affect the shields can change the one you love, because to say you love a jedi is not the same as accepting all that they are and being willing to change along with them because you can’t dodge that forever, and saying you’re willing to do this isn’t the same as being willing.
The changes aren’t quick, and not as Eldritch as the jedi, but they are permanent and definitely Other.
When shields crack or break, when a jedi lashes out with the force, it brushes an imprint on everything around them (those with any kind of vision skills can find this difficult or comforting to deal with, like a too-large gulp of hot tea) and a few times on the same thing doesn’t matter. Genuinely. Repeition is an entirely different matter.
War is hell.
War is hell, and the jedi are holding on to each other for support, clinging interlocking arms, but they’re scattered around the galaxy and it’s so hard to actually reach each other.
Sometimes to know you’re supported isn’t enough. Not when you can’t reach their shoulder to lean on, for just a moment.
And the clones are going through hell with them, are dying around them, and they reach out to support the jedi who are doing their best not only to help them survive but to help them live in a war that wants them dead for a senate that doesn’t care and the jedi recognizes them as people so they reach out and the jedi can’t help but reach back.
The clones catch them when they fall, love them in different ways each as sure as the tides, and the jedi relax into it without realizing. Their shields crack over and over again because war is hell, but they also find them relaxing them, instinctively and unconsciously, because so little is certain but the clones’ willingness to go to hell and back for them is one of them and they feel safe.
And the echoes of the force that resonate in the heartbeats-nervepulses-bloodflows of the jedi leaves imprints on the clones that rises like paint added layer by layer and it changes them.
The clones don’t have a childhood of familiarity to fall back on, much less the shielding techniques to keep them looking “normal.” What they have is legions of brothers willing to support each other come hell or high water or unending clankers and jedi who at first beg their forgiveness for changing them (because it wasn’t supposed to happen and because they like how they are but everyone already sees them as strange and to beg forgiveness for making them like them is many jedi’s first instinct) then teach them how to hide it when they need to and the comfort of singing together, their voices ringing through their ships in tune with the thrumming in their blood, bone-deep.
#i am back on my bullshit#too many good ao3 fics made me obessed#the thing about their smells is inspired by a fic by @bitter-chocolate-stars#so for clarity#i wouldn't say for certain that this doesn't happen to padme#but it happens a hell of a lot slower because the war keeps them apart often and because#she's not around anakin as often when he's overwhelmed enough to leak force energy on a regular basis#so there isn't the time and less of the situation#though there are probably some small changes by the end of the war#also about the coruscant guard#palpatine would have to be VERY certain the jedi were ignoring them to do anything sithy in their prescence bbecause it'd leave an inprint#he might still be a bastard but he'd be cautious#about that at least#incidentally if they ended up with quinlan vos or other shadows and the same thing happened to them as to the frontliners#palpatine would probably catch on and be like oh shit#and put whatever he was making them do on the down low#because if jedi are around the guard enough to change them that's an issue for him cause they're now watching#star wars#clone wars#eldritch#eldritch jedi#the force is eldritch#eldritch clone troopers#kinda at least

Padmé and Anakin are that couple that can't talk politics at home.
#this is basically canon tbh#novels allude to it and so does rots#they are in unhinged brain-killing mutual love#and they are SO FAR APART ON THE POLITICAL SPECTRUM#that they can't have a rational conversation about it#anakin x padme#star wars

There are many different great options for raising the twins, but consider: the handmaidens. Luke & Leia & their five moms.
#naboo handmaidens#padme amidala#She's hiding among them but shh no one knows which is the birth mother they all claim them#leia organa#luke skywalker#Something soft about Padme falling back into her old safety net after her world falls apart#something something Anakin and Padme both isolated themselves in their secrecy and turned away from their friends and family but#a Padme who lives could choose a different path#I was gonna try and tag individuals but I am stumped by accents#fics i'm not writing

the only true obikin dynamic (fact) is repressed homosexual anakin who aggressively sublimates his desire into competitiveness bordering on violence, and true heterosexual obi-wan who would immediately drop everything to spend the rest of his life having tender fatherwife sex with anakin if he asked nicely. homophobia is not real in star wars btw anakin invents it at age 15 because it allows him to hate himself in a more articulate manner
#also VERY fond of that trope where obi wan just lives in anakin and padmes apartment with them#i like to imagine that his moving in was never discussed. anakin doesn't bring it up because he doesn't think there's anything weird#about only enjoying marital sex when his best friend is sleeping on the other side of the wall#padme and obi-wan don't bring it up because well. they REALLY don't want to talk to each other about it.#anakin: man i love hanging out with you guys i'm so glad everything worked out#obi-wan and padme: on day 23 of avoiding each other's eyes at the breakfast table

If Anakin was haploid OR homozygous-diploid (which are my two favorite Options of the ones mentioned), Luke and Leia would have to be as genetically-similar as eusocial-insect diploid full-siblings (~75%) but they don't really look it.
Yeah, I think your math checks out. However, I think human phenotypic variation is such that I accept they look as similar/different as they do.
#i have a hard time telling people apart in general lmao#i also like homozygous diploid but this opens up new questions about how anakin got someone pregnant#presumably also on accident?#i think if anakin were trans he would have access to pretty good gender-affirming tech#like once he joined the jedi i mean#so MAYBE in space it's good enough a trans guy could accidentally knock someone up#but then if reproductive tech is that good why do people still just die in pregnancy. did padme just luck out

And now I’m just thinking about Rex.
Who’s alive and in hiding and doesn’t know.
He doesn’t fucking know.
And as far as canon has explained so far, no one ever tells him.
(very much so hoping he finds out about Luke & Leia in the rebellion eventually)
But Rex lives the entire rest of his already shortened lifetime in the dark about one of the most important people in his life.
And even if it’s on purpose, even if it’s to protect him, it’s still heartbreaking and it still fucking hurts.
#I know they don’t want to tell him#I know he wouldn’t want to face it#but he deserved to know 😭#he was as close to Anakin as Ahsoka and Obi-wan#he would’ve wanted to be apart of his children’s lives too 😭#he would’ve wanted to protect them to fulfill that promise to padme#I’m very emotional ok#captain rex#kenobi spoilers

omg the counseling au!!!! i loved how anakin was making banthashit arguments about 'how inevitable it is for him to constantly worry for his master (as if he was his spouse) and padme not understanding it even though she was also constantly worrying for her husband (which he actually is)'. as much as I love how unhinged the boys are for each other, I'm still so sad for padme because she's so... kind and nice and loving. I hope she will be able to find her own happiness after her slightly-idiotic-husabnd-who-did-not-even-realize-he's-been-in-insane-love-with-his-master-since-he-was-like-13 finally gets his head together. wonderful update as always!
i think for the couples counseling au and the anidala in the fic, i'm really trying to balance the line of having this relationship fall apart in some pretty spectacular/dramatic ways, but without having either of them come off as bad. i don't necessarily feel bad for padmé in any of my recent fics that deal with anidala crumbling post (mostly couples counseling au and a more perfect union) cause she's wholly in and crazy about anakin and she must understand on some level that he is alos wholly in and crazy about his master first and foremost.
there's a line in a more perfect union that i really like where padmé admits that she knew anakin was in love with obi-wan but thought that as long as he never realized, she could marry him and be in love with him and that it would be enough and i feel like there are aspects of that in the couples counseling au - not that she knows that anakin is in love with obi-wan, but she certainly understands that obi-wan is Anakin's Most Important Person and she's just starting to realize what that means for her and for their relationship because she keeps coming in second, even for something as simple as where anakin spends the night
like in general i think in these fics and also in canon padmé knowingly married a ticking bomb of a man and we're just watching the relationship itself explode - it doesn't make her a bad person or anything, it just makes her sort of willfully blind. i don't think either of them are bad people, but they're just not like. good together or meant to be together and anakin's chapters in couples counseling definitely detail the falling apart of that relationship because they're just not right for each other anymore
#asks#couples counseling au#a more perfect union#to be clear tho obi-wan's chapters probably wont deal as much with anidala falling apart#because obi-wan will be his own flavor of willfully blind about the whole thing#thinking their relationship is perfect while being jealous and secret-woman-mistress about padmé in general when they work together#which they will#but yeah i think one of the things i like about writing the fic so far#is padme and anakin's relationship#which is a mess for a thousand reasons#but im really trying to capture padmé's own agency in it#like she is not going to just. let anakin go without a fight#she's being kind and forgiving and trying to understand anakin but it's coming from a place of subconsciously realizing she's losing him#she will not be teethless later on
