#them as anidala >>

I will die on the hill that to understand Anidala you have to accept that Padme saw the red flags clear as day and went for it anyway. Why? Because Anakin was honest with her. Because Anakin, for all his idolising and putting her on a pedestal, still saw and treated her as a human being, even argued against her at times without fear or without hiding behind clever words. Because Anakin made her feel the youth that was taken from her at a young age. She was captured by the boyish charm and the awkwardness and the blunt honesty, and so when he came to her with a billion red flags, she went for it anyway. He was a breath of fresh air to her.

To understand Anidala you must understand they are 100% freak4freak. They are both children who grew up too fast and are now in a secret relationship giggling like teenagers in their twenties. This is vital to them. Padme is not a flawless character or an idea of perfection, on the contrary she is a very human character who was put in charge of her people at fourteen, something that had a lasting impact on her, and so she is choosing her childhood joy and a fairytale romance over the red flags her husband is waving. She is the OG ‘I can fix him’ mentality. No one is doing it like her.

‘The red flags are mass murder’ and the point still stands.

Love Across the Stars . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

currently thinking about how anidala’s love theme “Across the Stars” ends with a lullaby because Anakin and Padmé’s love ended with the birth of Luke & Leia and i just. do not speak to me about them

anidala as…

Homecoming by Hans Adolf Bühler, 1939

(disclaimer: not meant to reference or support original artist’s views or intent)

“‘No.’ He laid a gentle finger on her lips, smiling down at her. ‘No buts. No worries. You worry too much as is.’

‘I have to,’ she said, smiling through the tears in her eyes. ‘Because you never worry at all.’”

— Matthew Stover, Revenge of the Sith Novelization

[ original + rambles under the cut ]

sometimes i think about the realness of anidala’s stories. boys much too young sent off to war; their lovers taking on the emotional burden of being their relief. i think about how padmé, as a senator, would have her own struggles and worries to face alongside stressing that her teenage husband wasn’t going to return from the frontlines. i wonder if she was able to talk about it when they met up, the same way we see her constantly listening to his ongoing turmoil— especially during the latter half of the war. or, maybe, they just sat together. two people charging head-first into different types of battles because they felt they had no other options. i have to do this.

i like to think theyd get their happy ending, too

is there an au about both rebel Anakin and Padme

there is and i call that my Runaways AU! The title is very self explanatory, tbh, but I made a post a long ago that summarizes most of it.

Is honestly a very cruel AU despite not having Anakin falling to the dark side lol

these are ryoo and pooja, btw, and is probably for the reason you're thinking. I just have a blast with all the angsty and family drama that this has. More about that in the tags and under the cut

When it comes to Anakin and Padmé, Obi-Wan is deliberately looking in the complete opposite direction whistling to himself nonchalantly like he has no clue what's happening.

When it comes to Obi-Wan and Satine, Anakin is peeking around from behind a corner giggling like a youngling.

I think about the fact that padmé is probably the only person who knows about anakin slaughtering the sand people. She took his secret to her grave, literally. She was ready to run away with him and leave everything else behind

And people say she doesn't love anakin as much as he loves her. As if this girl wouldn't help him bury a body if needed.

comic anidala i hold you so close to my heart

[skywalkr-nberrie]

The narrator was eating with the dialogue about how Padmé was a worthy match for someone like Anakin in Legacy of Vader comic issue #4:

“A powerful, brilliant woman.”

That’s right! Put respect on her name!!!
