I think that the key to understanding how padme could marry anakin even after what he had done to the tusken raiders, how she could plead with him on mustafar to come with her even after his massacre at the jedi temple, to me it's all in that deleted scene in aotc when she and anakin visit her home on naboo, when she shows him her bedroom and talks about the little boy in the holo on her wall. how his planet was dying and he had to evacuate, but his species could not survive on another planet, and so he died in her arms, with padme unable to save him.
the thing about padme is that she wanted to save everyone in the universe the way she wanted to save that little boy. as the queen, she was desperate to save naboo, she wanted to save her world. as a senator, she wanted to save the galaxy from war. and by mustafar, anakin had become her entire world.
when padme looked at grieving, furious anakin after shmi's death, all she saw was someone who needed her desperately, someone who needed to be saved from his own pain and grief. anakin had the deepest, most all-consuming, all-absorbing kind of need--he was someone who needed to be saved from himself.
and padme needed to be needed in that deep, primal kind of way. because padme had always been desperate to be someone who could save the ones she loved.
and the thing is that padme became the kind of person who was desperate to save people because in a very real way, she was the child in the room in omelas. as a child-queen, she was raised to take on the pain and grief and suffering of others. saving others was what gave her life purpose. she had no meaning unless she was actively sacrificing herself for someone else's sake. of course she was drawn to a relationship like she had with anakin, where she was needed so incessantly to be his savior, his angel who delivers him from his suffering. she makes me think hard of mille/the goddess from the lives of christopher chant. a child raised to be a sacrifice, for the good of a county.
and naboo is very omelas. it is thriving, it is prosperous, it is beautiful--just don't look in the room. don't look at the gungans and how they are treated. don't look at the political system relying on children as political figureheads, where they must expect to need bodyguards and doubles to take their places when danger strikes. of course palatine comes from a world like that. a bright and shiny exterior where everyone is smiling and laughing--just don't look too closely. don't look inside the room.

The time to make up your mind about people... is never.
KATHARINE HEPBURN AS TRACY LORD THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940)
I love characters who would die for each other but will not, under any circumstances, communicate a single honest feeling.
Actually I do have a problem with those cartoony style cover for hyper sexual romance books and it’s like the inverse problem for me of people referring to everything as porn
Becauase my god those covers are so fucking unhorny they should be ashamed
Like ok ok ok half the time I see the discourse around this it’s people getting mad because they seem like they’re marketing “porn” to kids with those covers and like, that’s a stupid “think of the children” argument to shame grown adults for liking sexual content. And they’re clearly marketing to adults who have previously only ever been comfortable reading YA but that’s not even what I’m talking about and a whole other issue
What I’m talking about is those cartoony ass covers are so fucking bland that I would never pick one up randomly and give it a try knowing nothing about it, because it looks like such a bland hallmark romance and I want to read about fucking
Like we used to be a society. We used to have full painted bodice ripper covers with like tits and cock about to bust out of clothing. And it doesn’t even have to be that blatant you can make it horny and be subtle about it but modern every hyper sexual romance is giving 2010s indie graphic novel in the worst way. We used to make horny covers for porn and you knew it was gonna be horny porn when you looked at it. Now it’s so fucking boring and no one is finding that hot babes

“online fandom bestie that you once shared intense intimacies with but don’t really talk to anymore simply bc we drifted into new blorbo obsessions” is such a specific type of relationship that has to be impossible to explain to anyone who hasn’t experienced it

One thing I love putting in my fantasy and scifi that so many stories I read don't have is superstitions that are just wrong. Astrology type shit. Wizards being assigned an elemental type that's supposed to determine their personality just because that's how it's been done for centuries because ages ago people believed in it and these days people are like "no of course it's a silly superstition haha" but still glance knowingly at your metal type tattoo when you're being headstrong. Societies who believe that the stars determine your destiny because see, this kid was born under the star that indicated intelligence so we pushed her in school and got her special tutors so she could live up to her potential and look, she IS more academically successful than her peers born under other stars! People talking about their religion in the far future and all the side characters are like "that sounds like fucking nonsense" and they're like "no it's TRUE" and the audience is like 'no that's nonsense'. I love inventing shit for characters to just be totally wrong about.

many claim theres nothing more subversive and revolutionary than starting on wednesday the third
there are simply no words in the english language that can describe starting on thursday the fourth. thats how iconic it is
choosing to start on friday the fifth. i just think its very inspiring
