crack au where anakin just... never learnt how to read aurebesh. he managed to avoid the lessons with obi-wan and all of his plans and notes through the clone wars were in either huttese or mando'a for the clones. so, he rocks up as vader, trying to communicate plans with admiral Piett and general veers and piett is like "lord vader, sir, i have transferred you plans, etc." and vader is like "oh, thank you." but never reads it. veers transfers him troop casualties and he never reads it. piett sends him a card to sign and he doesn't. this continues on and veers and piett just think that their commander is a rude piece of shit. then, the on-site bartender is like "oh, no, he is rude but that isn't why he's blowing you off. lord vader can't read or write basic"

I know the Clone Wars more than demonstrated that Anakin and Padme had the sublety of a Bantha on a starship, but I will die on the hill that the biggest tell is Anakin's perfectly styled curly hair. That boy spent 9 years with pin straight hair and then 10 years with a mandatory close cut and rat tail, yet he can suddenly maintain perfectly styled, notoriously difficult, curls in the middle of a war???

No way. That has Padme running-through-a-battlefield-in-full-couture Amidala all over it. There is no way she would let her man have bad hair, war or not.

Obi-Wan raised that boy. He has seen every questionable choice that Anakin has made through his awkward teen stages. He has also seen Padme go through a planet wide, life and death disaster as a teenager and still maintained multiple costume changes with full hair and makeup for her and her friends.

There is no way Obi-Wan did not see Anakin suddenly have a perfect knowledge of how to maintain the long hair he has never had before and not immidiately know that Anakin has spent an inappropriately large amount of time in a bathroom with Padme. No he took one look at Anakin and knew immidiately.

When Anidala 🐜 argue that Anakin & Padmé lacked compatibility and were blinded by the “chemistry” between them - need to be told that they were so perfect for one another that they had both going hand in hand. Their chemistry was booming as much as their compatibility was shining.

- Anakin and Padmé both can’t imagine their lives without one another which is a clear result of their booming, fiery chemistry. If it were up to them, they’d spend every second of their lives side by side. They both literally died when they fell apart and lost one another. Anakin’s fate was sealed inside Vader when Palpatine lied to him and said Padmé was killed at his hands, and Padmé’s heart broke the moment she realized she lost her Anakin to the dark side and became Darth Vader.

- They share core values and strive for the same goals. Yes, one might argue that this isn’t true because of the Meadow scene where Anakin is talking about dictatorships, but we all know how heavily misunderstood that scene is, as Anakin was speaking from an ignorant viewpoint because he just wants for someone who can maintain peace and security in the Galaxy, which are ideals Padmé aligns with as well. Apart from taking that scene out of context, Anakin and Padmé have always fought for the better of the Galaxy, and struggled for a better place where slavery was finally abolished, freedom and equality was established in the galaxy, and create the sort of world where they can grow old together and raise their kids. They’re both legitimately dawned as “heroes” in their respective fields because they well known to always fight for what’s right, even when they being tricked.

- They’re very similar and alike to one another. I know the whole “opposites attract” is super attractive when it comes to shipping and fandoms, and I do think Anakin & Padmé are opposites to a limited extent (i.e: their aesthetics, their color palette, their personalities; colourful/bright x dark, fire x water elements.) but overall their core traits are very much in sync with each other. They’re both passionate, impulsive, helpless romantics, sensitive, and emotionally aware, and genuinely caring.

- They’re both always so happy to see one another and get time to spend alone. They don’t get bored of each other even if they’re doing someone as simple as spending a night in, having dinner together. One could say this is due to the fact that they don’t get a lot of opportunities to spend time together as a couple, but that only proves how their love, chemistry, and compatibility was so strong because their feelings and bond never dimmed even in the slightest despite being separated a lot of the time. Usually couples fall apart from an inconvenience such as this, but not Anakin & Padmé. They were so madly in love that even in the span of 2-3 years, meeting clandestinely and in sweet moments they were able to create such a lasting, transcendent, and unbreakable connection.

- They have the same goals and dreams for the future. This is similar to them sharing core values but, here I’m talking about manifest goals they aspire too. Such as both want to someday leave behind duty to start a life together, away on a peaceful planet and creat their own family. They both wanted to be married and wasted no time getting to it because they realized they could lose one another in the blink of an eye and they can’t bare the thought of that.

Just a few examples off the top of my head which highlight both Anakin & Padmé’s insane chemistry and great compatibility because they’re often boxed into one category before being branded as “toxic” which takes away from their many nuances and layers. Anakin and Padmé aren’t as simple as being explained as one thing, they have an entire lore behind them that embellishes who they are and makes clear what sort of love story was crafted for them.

Team Anidala 🎉 🥳
