Question for fellow Sanrion shippers:

Why do you think Sansa is the best partner for Tyrion?

I've seen a million and one metas for why Tyrion or any other male character would be the best partner for Sansa, but hardly any for Tyrion. There's no shortage of potential love interests for him in his storyline, so what does Sansa provide for him, in your mind, that separates her from the rest?

There’s not being ‘perfect’ and then there’s being a raging TERF that has given a voice and validation to the very worst kind of people.

I remember the backlash Rowling faced in 2007 when she revealed Dumbledore was gay (and not the “woke” backlash of today that he wasn’t gay enough, but because she had a gay character in a children’s series), so she will always have my support even if she isn’t perfect.

This also goes for characters like Sansa Stark! Just because she is a feminine character and not a more masculine one like Arya or Brienne, doesn’t mean she’s any less of a character or that she isn’t deserving of respect!!! There are all kinds of women, all of which are deserving of representation in the fantasy genre!!!

I was wrong about Buttercup

Okay, so I just watched The Princess Bride again, and I had a new realization: I have always had an unfair hatred for Buttercup. I’ve always thought of her as window dressing, but she has a surprising amount of agency in this movie.  Think about it:

The very first chance she gets to escape from Vizzini, Fezzik, and Inigo, she does it. She leaps into a sea full of SHRIEKING EELS.  Mind you, this is right after she tells them they will be hanged if they are caught.  Buttercup has no problem telling people off when they need it.

Then, she tells off the Dread Pirate Roberts the second she figures out who he is.  And then pushes him down a hill just because she can.

After their adventures in the fire swamp, she agrees to go with Humperdink to save Westley’s life with NO HESITATION WHATSOEVER.  Just because that is the only way she can save him.

And then is my favorite part: she tells Humperdink off.  She confronts him on his cowardice, knowing that he legally owns her at this point.  And she doesn’t care, because that fucker needs to know what she really thinks of him.

After Westley is seeming killed, and she is forced to marry Humperdink, she decides that killing herself is the only form of agency she has left.  And she’s fully prepared to do it.  Until Westley is there to remind her that she has perfect breasts (he’s got a point).  

And then Westley gets all the points for understanding that this was not a consensual marriage for Buttercup.  “You didn’t say it, you didn’t do it.”  Can we get that on t-shirts?

Buttercup is not an action girl.  She’s not going to pick up a sword and start beating up on those that hurt her, but that’s not a reason to hate her.  Every chance she gets, she tries to be an equal partner in this relationship.  And, let’s be honest, this movie isn’t even about her.  The agency she has in this movie is really impressive.

This is important because we need a wide range of women in our media.  They can’t all be Xena Warrior Princess because that’s not what all women are like. But we need to appreciate the other types of women out there.  The ones who won’t fight or do anything that’s considered traditionally masculine, but still deserve respect anyway.

[smashes down door] who is Bail and why do you like him? I could look it up but I'd rather you gush over him

OH BOY.

So first off, a quick (canon) history lesson: Bail Organa was the Senator and Viceroy (aka Prince Consort) of Alderaan. If you don’t know what that means (because old titles are Weird - I’m not judging the only reason I know this is because of this very character), it means that Breha, Bail’s wife, is ruling Queen of Alderaan and was the heir to the throne. She married Bail, making him a ruler by marriage, though technically she still held the crown. He, at some point, was also elected Senator of Alderaan, and was Senator leading up to and during The Clone Wars (and after, but we’re getting to that).

So Bail, we come to find out, became (best) friends with Padmé Amidala. We see him in a couple of scenes in Attack of the Clones with Padmé, just kinda vibing and making the occasional commentary. We know he stood with her on the Opposition bill (the bill Padmé was nearly killed over at the beginning of AOTC, which was against the formation of a Republic military), though we don’t learn much about the rest of his politics until later.

So he’s kinda…there, but obvs isn’t the focus of the story, and is really just a minor background character. The first real insight we get into Bail is, actually, a really tiny character moment right at the end of AOTC, when Palpatine and some of the Senators are looking down at the Clone troops loading up onto the ship, watching their new military gear up for war.

Bail looks away. While everyone else is staring down at the (slave) army, some of them smiling (like Sheev), some of them just serious, Bail looks away from them and makes this tiny little hand gesture: a simple, closed fist knocking against the banister of the balcony.

It’s this, I think, that first piqued my interest in this character. He was the only one not triumphant in that situation. He was the only one who saw things for what they were: a tragedy, and a horror, and that this wasn’t something to celebrate but to mourn.

Then we come to Revenge of the Sith, and boy howdy. The man may have like 10 minutes of screen time, but does he make those 10 minutes count!

A quick bullet point of the Important Things Bail Does in ROTS:

When the Jedi Temple is burning, what does Bail do? He flies to it to figure out what’s going on and see if he can save anyone. He then watches as a youngling is shot and killed by Clone Troopers, and manages to escape because he’s a fucking badass.

Please note, to our knowledge, Bail is the only one who actually goes to check on the Jedi Temple.

As soon as he escapes the Temple, Bail immediately - like immediately - takes his ship and goes to find any surviving Jedi. He is almost certainly the reason both Yoda and Obi-Wan don’t walk into the trap that is the Jedi Temple, or are captured - and even if that’s not true, he most definitely is the reason they manage to sneak safely onto Coruscant and figure out what happened.

He’s the one who rescues Yoda (again) after Yoda’s failed duel with Palpatine in the Senate. Which, let me rant about the SYMBOLISM of that for a second please. Because holy shit, the entire duel between Yoda and Palpatine takes place in the Senate, with the Senate building and pods. Here Palpatine proves to Yoda that yes, he is the Senate, he controls it, the new Empire is under his control and no one can stop him. But then - but then - Yoda escapes, and who saves him? Bail. Bail sneaks in with a speeder, saves Yoda, and gets him back to safety. Which is such a huge fucking metaphor for the fact that Bail will be the one who, ultimately, is responsible for Palpatine’s defeat. But, more on that later.

Bail is there when Padmé (remember, his best friend) gives birth to Luke and Leia. Bail is literally one of 3 sentients in the galaxy who canonically knows about both Luke and Leia.

Bail instantly offers to adopt one of the children, saying “She will be loved with us.” (And then she absolutely is.)

And he does all of that in line 10 minutes of screen time.

He shows up again briefly in Star Wars Rebels, and again in Rogue One, but I’m going to take a trip down a side alley here into a territory that is grossly unused in the SW EU: the founding of the Rebellion.

So we don’t actually know much about how the Rebellion got started. What we do know is that Bail was one of the (if not the main) Founders. Bail was the mastermind behind the Rebellion, by all accounts knowing…everything about it: who was who, who did what, where they were located, etc. He knows (and controls) Fulcrum in Rebels, as just one example, and Fulcrum is considered by that text to be one of the most powerful Rebel operatives at the time. In Rogue One (regardless of whether you liked what they did with the Rebellion which, side note, I did not), we see he certainly has a position of great authority and power. People respect him, and listen to him, and he’s on an even footing with Mon Mothma (or Mom Mothma as my autocorrect tried to say) who is canonically one of the most powerful people in the Rebellion, according to ROTJ.

More than what he did, though, we can look to his character as a reason I love him. He is a good, kind, honorable man who does (or at least tries) his best. We see again and again, throughout all of SW media he’s in, that he consistently chooses the right path, regardless of whether or not it’s the easy one. He fights corruption, fights for justice, fights for freedom, fights against tyranny.

He is also, canonically, an amazing father and (according to EU content, since Breha literally doesn’t have a spoken line in any media content) an incredible husband. We know he’s well-loved by his people, and by the Rebellion, by the extraneous texts and mentions about him in the wake of his death on Alderaan. He’s also respected by many Senators during his time in the Clone Wars (Padmé makes a comment in a TCW episode about how he’s the best and most respected speaker and Senator she knows), and regardless of how people felt about him after the Rise of the Empire (which is, unfortunately - or fortunately maybe, because I don’t trust Disney to do it right - up to headcanon), the fact remains that Bail played an incredibly tricky position as an Imperial Senator, having to balance fighting for his people, the people of the galaxy, and setting up the Rebellion, with not making himself too much of a nuisance, or too much of a traitor, that Palpatine straight up had him executed.

Which, speaking of that, can we also take a moment to appreciate the fact that Bail knew almost every single secret that Palpatine and Vader wanted??? He knew where Obi-Wan was, and possibly where Yoda was. He knew where both of Anakin and Padmé’s children were. He knew everything about the fledgling Rebellion. Like…that man, had he been captured and interrogated (and had he broken) would have damned the entire galaxy. Yet he never was. He played his cards perfectly, and was either never suspected, or was able to somehow hide all of the information they wanted to know from being found. Personally, I suspect a mixture of the two.

Furthermore, Bail Organa is a great father and husband. He is directly responsible for Leia being the amazing woman we know and love. The one shot we get of Breha, you can practically see and feel the love and adoration Bail has for her radiating off of him through the screen. Literally the most unproblematic ship in Star Wars. I have never seen a single person say they aren’t amazing (unless they just want to break them up to make Bail gay? Which, come on, bisexual and polyamorous people exist, y'all. But that’s a talk for another time).

If you’re still not convinced, the only thing left that I can say is: I’m a raging lesbian and like, while I definitely wouldn’t fuck him, Bail/Jimmy Smits (his actor) is handsome. Have some pictures that I have saved on my phone for when I’m feeling sad.

Tl;dr: Bail Organa is singlehandedly responsible for putting into motion the events that secure the galaxy’s freedom, not only by being one of the founding fathers of the Rebellion, but also by reaching Yoda and Obi-Wan before the new Empire can, and getting them safely to Coruscant. He is a good, kind, and noble man who does his best in shitty times, and even if he has to make hard choices, he always makes them for the right reasons. He is a loving father, husband, and ruler, who does right by his people and his family. He fights for what’s right, even when that fight is nearly impossible. He’s a badass, and arguably a literal genius (you’d have to be, to do the kinds of things he does in canon).

Anyway, Bail Organa is great and I love him - and you should too.

He savoured the sticky juice 😏😏😏

The scene where Anakin wakes up sweaty after his nightmare in ROTS is hot tbh and that’s the closets we will see him after some “aggressive negations” with padme

I don’t know, anon. I think Karen Miller gets closer :P

“MORE CHEE-CHEES, MY DARLING?”

Anakin looked at the stemful of luscious purple berries Padmé was dangling so tantalizingly above his lips.

“Mmmm,” he said, then flung his arms around her. “I can think of something tastier than chee-chee berries!”

Squealing with laughter, she let him tumble her to the sheets, mock-protesting as his embrace crushed the fragrant fruit against her skin. Didn’t protest at all as he savored the sticky juice, the fragrance of her, let himself fall headfirst into their shared, secret passion.

My love, my love, my own true love. Only when he was with her did the ache in his heart ease. Padmé made sense of his life: without her all was chaos, violence, the agony of loss. Sometimes, often, he marveled that Obi-Wan never suspected anything. How could he love Padmé so greedily, yet keep that devouring love hidden from the man who knew him best? I guess I really am a powerful Jedi. He muttered a protest as Padmé pressed her palms to his chest, holding him back. 

“Wait. Wait.”

 “Don’t want to wait,” he muttered. “You made me wait yesterday. I waited too long.”[ [Karen Miller’s Star Wars: Wild Space]

I wonder what was the official cause of Padme's death for Naboo and the rest of the galaxy?

There’s no ‘official’ cause of death because the naboo were private people who didn’t announce such things:

[Valorum] had visited the place where Senator Amidala’s body was prepared for burial. He received no new information … except a crash course he didn’t need in the funeral rites of the Naboo. Apparently the grandmothers were designated as the ones who dressed the body and prepared it for the “last journey.” The fact of Padme’s death was recorded … but that was all. There was no hint of how she’d died, nothing for him to go on. Naboo customs recluded any questions about the possible father of her child; the family was given privacy. There was no doctor’s report. [Jude Watson’s The Last of the Jedi: Death on Naboo]

[Typho] had heard conflicting rumors, snatches of conversation during the chaos immediately after her death. […] For the circumstances of the Senator’s demise were, to put it bluntly, suspicious. There was evidence—compelling evidence—that she had died a violent death. Of course, this was not meant to be known by the population at large. But rank did have certain privileges, and Captain Typho had learned some things about Padmé’s last hours. There were conflicting reports, of course, but all the autopsy reports were in agreement on two things: that she had been strangled, and that the child had died with her. [Coruscant Nights: Street of Shadows]

Padmé died and that’s all people knew. Those who digged a little further only found false reports and rumors.
