Din: you’re only mentioning this now?

Boba: It was a long time ago. Ten, maybe twelve years ago? He used to have quite a sizable bounty on his head too, Cal something or another. Bright red hair, hard to miss.

Din: What happened to him?

Boba: As far as I can tell he married a nightsister and fucked off to the other edge of the universe.

Din: The hell is a nightsister

Boba: They were witches who performed some freaky magic from Dathomir. If you’ve never been, keep it that way. Most of them were wiped out during the clone wars though. Pretty certain she did some sort of magic because now if you follow the bounty puck all it leads to is the Koboh Abyss. Any bounty hunter with half a brain threw their pucks away after that. I figured he’d died in there or something until I saw him briefly a while back with a daughter.

Din: You’re telling me the space sorcerers and witches are mating now? Dank farrik there should be laws against that.

Proverbs 21:15

The fountain's plaque quotes the same exact Proverbs, it stuck out to me because I thought it was rather ironic considering what the people behind Bet and Forgive are doing to the contestants.

Obviously the in-universe intention is that the criminals are the evil doers, but it's still ironic when looking at it through Eddie's perspective

CD is using the Plaque to subtly signal that the fountain is part of some kind of plan, and personally I think that plan is escaping.

1. With the way functioning *flowing* fountains work there HAS to be a pipe system, pipe systems in fountains loop in order to have an "endless" flow of water, however there's often an in-between step where the water is filtered in case it gets dirty in any way.

This is also where coins are often collected by staff unless the drains are too small for the coins/coins do not follow the flow towards the drain due to weight and sit at the bottom of the fountain away from it.

also the gall of people to act like the possibility of a person dying in childbirth is 0 and denying that is incredibly strenous on the body...

maybe someone poisoned padmé and she's dying whilst giving childbirth. who knows!

Human pregnancies are genuinely extremely difficult, painful, and dangerous, especially compared to other animals. There is a reason why misogynistic psychopaths want to eliminate birth control and it is because pregnancy makes women so vulnerable, not because they have any moral objection to “killing” unborn babies.

So many women underestimate how dangerous pregnancy is even if you’re healthy and happy and have really good doctors. And with Padmé’s status and job it would have been even riskier for her. She is the constant target of assassination plots and if she had an organic doctor there would be the threat that they might have political motives to harm her or that they could be bribed or threatened. Even with a droid, they could be sliced. And she overworked herself so much already which definitely would’ve put a lot of strain on the pregnancy. I know George wasn’t thinking about it like this but from the perspective of a woman or just someone educated in the dangers of pregnancy Anakin’s reaction makes perfect sense.

Maybe I’m a bit more aware of this because I was almost strangled by my umbilical cord and had to be cut out of my mom and have been aware of this fact for as long as I can remember, but yeah it’s really concerning when people downplay the risks. Oh, and not to mention how she was carrying TWINS and didn’t even know it, that complicates pregnancy a lot to. Anyway yeah women’s reproductive health is incredibly glossed over in schools and we don’t talk nearly enough about it. Like yeah, our bodies trick us into not seeing pregnancy as traumatic after it’s over, you literally forget all the pain and are flooded with happiness hormones, and women who’ve experienced pregnancy do perceive it differently because of that but the risks and dangers are still real. But the patriarchy doesn’t want us to know this because not knowing makes us more vulnerable.

And it’s all this knowledge that makes me love Sola so much and see her as a total badass and embodiment of female freedom. Because she had the rights, freedom, support, confidence, and courage to have children without a man. She made the decision that she wanted children for herself and went and got it and succeeded in having two wonderful and healthy babies without letting anyone have claim over any part of her body or her children. I hate the phrase about a woman carrying a man’s child as if the fetus inside her body belongs to the man, as if that gives him claim or control over her autonomy. Pregnancy is risky and dangerous and can be wielded as a weapon to hurt women, but it’s also beautiful and miraculous and something that makes life worth living. The freedom and ability to choose when and how you want children is one of, if not THE, most important rights a person can have. Both Padmé and Sola embody that, how important it is for women to be free to choose who their partner is and whether or not they even have one. Padmé died and wasn’t able to raise her children because others were trying so hard to control her and her husband’s freedom to love and start a family. No matter if it’s someone trying to force you to have children with someone you don’t love, or someone not allowing you to have children you want alone or with someone you love, it will end tragically.

cozy morning

came up with the idea that BD is hilariously hyperactive in the mornings, and if Cal's doing okay, the unfortunate sleepyhead is attacked by a bored droid
