actually trembling in anticipation for your x files fic

i’m writing it as we speak and the first time i wrote “spooky skywalker” my brain chemistry changed. big kiss my love !!

[shoobscantsleep]

Saw the latest anidala twt discourse and it’s so funny.

“Stop romanticizing Anidala!!” THE FRANCHISE ITSELF IS ROMATICIZING IT WTH ARE YOU GUYS ON ??? 😭😭

Like it’s clearly coming from people who A) don’t like Anakin and B) don’t understand Padmé’s character. They always bring stuff up that makes no sense or they made up in their minds.

Their fandom lives will be easier if they just understood that … Padmé Amidala wanted that cookie !

(sorry for always spanning your inbox 😭)

Omggg! Never apologize for spamming my inbox! I absolutely love it when we all come together to put the haters in their place for our favourite star crossed lovers!

And OMG yeah! The discourse from last week was INSANE and why are we not surprised that it came from an Obdla shipping OWK fan?? 🤣 she 100% hated Anakin, and I’ll give her credit for at least admitting to that, cause most OWK girlies try to moral code their hatred for Anakin by saying he’s the devil incarnate while acting like OWK’s a Saint touched by the hand of God.

Idk if you saw all the delicious tweets responding to her that out her neatly in her place? But I’ll post a couple here! Here’s mine for starters and a few ss too:

Here’s one from my girl @shoobscantsleep (friendly reminder that we’re running Anidala week this year, be sure to check out our blog @anidalaweeks 😘)

And this huge banger post that got like 18k, the ratio was crazy 🤣

And another shoutout post to the Anidala page on Twitter for calling this person’s braindead tweet out with quoting how George Lucas himself is a huge Anidala truther right here: https://x.com/dailyanidala/status/1934725853079916594?s=46

So the obvious verdict and conclusion here: Team Anidala all the way 🎉 🥳

#ANIDALAU & #XFILES | i can't wait to write this fic for anidala week. genuinely just combining my interests left and right but shoobsficuniverse grows again… starting with this edit

[shoobscantsleep]

“Besides, Ryoo and Pooja will be done with their baths in about twenty minutes, and you know that they’ve missed you. I promise not to embarrass you.”

“Sure you won’t.” Padmé sighed and let herself get pulled towards the other room. “I’m sure that I won’t need to be euthanized afterwards, either.”

“Padmé, don’t be dramatic.” Sola pushed Anakin further into the living room, and Padmé already wanted her memory wiped when she heard the tail end of the question, so I hear my sister has been visiting dark, shadowy corners with you.

stan twitter is a disease. you correct people about anakin being a fearful person (lucas and original storyline) and not an angry person like filoni’s clone wars made him out to be and they say “oh so you defend him for mustafar?” i never said that. who tf said that. you correct the insipid belief that anidala was either coerced, or straight out abusive (which, what???), and they say “so you believe anakin was right for slaughtering the children?” I NEVER SAID THAT.

i genuinely just want to depict nuanced characters in PEACE when will stan twitter learn. holy crap. and this is for one of the most popular ships ever????? let me go write to blow off steam.

Last Line Tag

i was tagged by the ever lovely @whayjhey !!! bigggg kiss sugar you know i love you <3

Share the last line you wrote:

Padmé was a very principled woman. She never let herself touch, rarely let herself think, and very hardly let herself dream. As her hands untucked the uniform that proclaimed him a hero of the Republic, his tan, supple skin smooth under the rough pads of her fingers, she sinfully let herself do all three. As his teeth nipped her ear, she found that the real thing was much better than her half formed visions she had in the bathtub.

i tag @anakincoded and @skywalkr-nberrie !!! (i need to make more fic writer friends. i love being friends with people. chit chat w me)

i guess this counts as a senate fic sneak peek and insight to why it’s mature :)

[shoobscantsleep]

“What about Ani, Padmé? Why don’t you ask him to sleepover?”

“It’s different now mom, he’s… we’re too grown up to have sleepovers anymore. How do you fit someone who’s six foot two on a twin bed?”

“You snuggle a bit, honey.”

“Ew, mom— stop. It’s not like that.”

Or: five times Padmé Naberrie and Anakin Skywalker insisted they were just best friends like they always had been since they were kids, and the one time they realized that they were definitely something more.

[shoobscantsleep]

celebrating 700 friends on twitter!!! i'm writing the 5+1 fic for something they’ve been waiting on a while there (aka childhood best friends to lovers anidala) and made an edit with some sneak peek dialogue to tide everyone over until it's finished :)

[shoobscantsleep]

“However, I do not want you to start believing that just because the people look to you as a symbol of unwavering faith, upstanding character, and moral purity, that they get to control everything you do. You deserve a life as well, Padmé, and I intend to make sure that you enjoy the freedoms and fruits of your constant, diligent labor, starting with,” He laughed. “Teaching the world’s worst Jedi how to swim in the lakes of her home world.”

"I have no clear memories of Anakin Skywalker— and my memories of Darth Vader are still the stuff of nightmares. I know that l contain part of Anakin in me, and I think it is the good parts of him that came through in Luke and me." - Star Wars, The New Jedi Order: Onslaught

“Oh, of course.” She took the holopad and squinted as the screen shifted.

Her heart stopped, and suddenly, she knew why she had been so scared. Everything… was about to go sideways.

“There’s a tiny little rumor going around that you and Senator Skywalker like to find corners.” She stared at the photo of her and Anakin that was definitely from the day she had to strip off her dress in a Senate bathroom, and she knew that the shell of her ears was crimson.

chapter 14 of my anidala senate fic is up!! it technically was last night but, i posted the announcement on twitter and promptly fell asleep due to dry contacts/being awake for far too long. hope you guys like it <3

[shoobscantsleep]

“I’m going to tell you something, Padmé.” He leaned even further forward, and she let her eyes fall closed. “I don’t want you to feel shy with me. You can tell me what to do, whenever you want, and however you want me to do it, and I will do what you ask. Whether it's work, or…” She shuddered slightly, and he attempted to say the next part of his sentence, his voice faltering. ”Do you understand what I mean?”

Padmé counted out three breaths, and nodded.

“Yes.”

“Then tell me what to do, Miss Naberrie.” She opened her eyes slowly, and locked eyes with him, his expression frankly… desperate. Yearning. Eager to hear what she was going to say.

-

got a tad obsessed with the idea of an anidala au based on The Secretary (2002). wrote 30k words of straight freak about it. also, if you’re confused — i’m anidalaafterdark! (i just separate my accounts to break up the insane blotch that adds to my digital footprint. PFFTTT) you can read about it now :)

[shoobscantsleep]

“No, Padmé had never been in love with someone like she was with Anakin Skywalker.”

a little edit of my own fic :)

[shoobscantsleep]

She hadn’t drank in almost a year, and the lightheadedness that was produced from chugging the entire glass in an insurmountable length of time was noticeable.

He was right. He did look good in tight pants.

Padmé coughed into her elbow, her stomach coiling. It was tight. Vicious. It, without a doubt, heard the small voice that whined that she wanted to be the one who danced with him tomorrow, and she forced herself to look in the other direction.

chapter 13 of my anidala senate fic is up!! feeling the burn of the tension :)

[shoobscantsleep]

“Besides, I don’t mind you liking to be right and in control. I’ve always liked a woman who knows what she wants.” 

“This conversation is entering inappropriate territory, Anakin.” 

“I never was a big fan of the rules.”
