a tortured poet

I fear honestly this scene will be either a Red Wedding type event or at least interspersed with The Horrors™️ but perhaps I'm wrong and it will simply be a fun party...*doubt intensifying*

In any case, I think it's interesting that we are being shown Mon Mothma so emotive and with such a high degree of movement here compared to the very static and passive senator we've seen previously and I think that's a really cool reflection of her character progression and story as we near the beginning of the rebellion proper. Really makes me think of that quote in Season 1:

"It's a lie. The Mon Mothma people think they know is, it's a lie. It's a projection. It's a front. I learned from Palpatine. I show you the stone in my hand, you miss the knife at your throat."

Bonus version before I coloured it - just for fun

omg I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT WITH MON and yess there were DEFINITELY bets abt anidala

joannalannister tagged me for Tumblr’s Love Your Artist Week (which I didn’t realize was even a thing until I was tagged in it). Anyway, I found the gesture to be very incredibly sweet so as a token of my thanks I have drawn the namesake of her account, the former lady of Casterly Rock, Joanna Lannister.
