Made a new version of my ship meme template, now with a three character version!!
Primarily made for selfshipping and OC x canon but could be used for any ship! I'd love to be tagged if you use this, but it's not a requirement.

Reading Chinese Names: Female Names
One thing I have noticed recently is that many Chinese learners are not well-equipped to read Chinese names. This is because textbooks usually have names like 王朋 and 张天明 that use basic characters learners already know. But real Chinese names often contain characters that are not taught in classes/textbooks.
I compiled a corpus of over 515 characters found in around 1000 female given names. These names came from members of idol groups (like SNH48 and AKB48-SH) and participants on idol survival shows (like Produce 101 China). I did my best to remove duplicate individuals (like the AKB48 members who participated in CZ101) and not include stage names that are not authentic Chinese names (like 欧若拉). A lot of performers go by stage names that sound authentic or have changed their legal name–I included these. I separated the names into individual characters and then counted how many times each character occurred in the corpus as a whole. Note that these data are not necessarily representative of the overall populations of China and Taiwan. However, I think this info is still valuable.
Below I have the top 75 characters, aka those that were found at least 7 times. I’ve included all the counts for those who may be interested.

There’s nothing wrong with being pansexual and there’s nothing wrong with being bisexual, and no matter the similarities or differences that may or may not be between them, both identities are valid and deserve love, respect, and representation.

My Anidala Headcanons Pt. 2
You guys really liked these so here we go.
1. Who makes the first move and how?
Anakin cause that’s canon.
2. Who is the most insecure and what makes them feel better?
Anakin, do I really need to explain this?
3. Who is the most romantic?
Anakin tries to be romantic but it just comes out really cheesy but Padme goes along so he feels special.
4. Who can’t keep their hands to themselves?
Anakin can’t get enough of his hot senator wife.
5. Who says ‘I love you’ first?
Even though Padme said it first, Anakin definitely heavily implied it first and didn’t outright say it because he was a scared teenager.
6. Who would they ask if they ever had a threesome?
I don’t think he would want to share Padme with anyone, I can’t picture them wanting to do that.
7. What do they get up to on a night out?
Anakin would try to take Padme on a romantic classy date but because Anakin is so disaster prone that something bad would always happen and they just end up eating at Dex’s or just going home.
8. What do they like in bed?
I’m sorry for all the Anakin choke me people but based on my opinion I think Anakin would only like doing the most Vanilla sex and would call it making love and cry afterwards. He would also be more submissive just because of his past seeing sexual violence he would never want to accidentaly do something like that to Padme.
9. What is the most embarrassing thing they have done in front of each other?
For Anakin it's definitely anything he said in episode 2 and Padme makes fun of him all the time for it. For Padme I think it's either her saying I love you first or marrying him, I feel like she woke up the morning after like “Did I really just marry a 19 year old illegally, Padme how did we get here??”
11. What do they hide from one another?
Anakin hides how tired and badly hurt he is when he comes home, he also hides his insecurities about his relationship with Padme since I feel like deep down inside he still feels like that slave kid on tatooine who doesn’t deserve Padme. Padme I feel hides her past relationships because she can sense he is a bit insecure when it comes to their relationship so she doesn’t mention them till he finds out. Like with Clovis.
12. What first changes when it starts getting serious?
Padme is more affectionate and Anakin isn’t so tense anymore.
13. When do they realise they should get together?
When they both realize a war is coming which could result in both of their deaths. (canon)
14. When one has a cold, what does the other do?
If Anakin has a cold, Padme of course takes care of him to the best of her ability. If Padme has a cold, Anakin is in full on panic mode like he probably reads the star wars equivalent to Web MD and thinks Padme is dying of 5 deadly diseases. Goes to the store and buys every medicine he can, tries to make every remedy he knows. Probably burns the kitchen in the process, he overexerts himself to the point he falls asleep and she can finally do what she needs. She doesn’t really mind his chaos and how she has to take care of herself because it's just a cold and his chaos shows how much he truly loves her.
15. When they watch a film what do they choose and why? Who gets the final vote?
I feel like Anakin would like to watch a nice feel good romantic comedy since he feels like he lived one and is at the happy ending with his true love. Padme I think would want to watch a courtroom drama since she likes the debates in them. However they would watch Anakin’s choice since he finds the courtroom stuff boring and confusing and Padme doesn’t mind watching a nice feel good film.
16. When the zombie apocalypse comes, how do they cope together?
I feel like they would stick together till they found a bunker community. Padme would help with the Bunker politics like splitting rations and food, shower schedules, and who can go outside. Anakin would help by going outside to get food and kill some zombies in his way.
17. When they find a time machine, where do they go?
They’d go back to episode 2 time period before the war so they can just relax and reminisce.
18. When they fight, how do they make up?
I feel like at first Anakin storms away mad and they just eventually get over it. But then later he feels sorry and apologizes a lot.
19. Where do they go on their first date?
I consider the picnic scene to be their first date.
20. Where do they go on holiday?
To Naboo, Anakin loves Naboo too much.
21. Where do they get nervous about going with one another?
Everywhere, Padme counts in her head every time Anakin almost blows their secret, while Anakin thinks he’s great at keeping secrets.
22. Where does their first kiss happen?
Naboo
23. Where is their favourite place to be together?
At home, Anakin loves to be at home cuddling with his wife.
24. Where do they first have sex?
I’m going to assume their Honeymoon was in Naboo and that’s where they first do it
25. Why do they fight?
Anakin gets jealous about her exes.
26. Why do they need to have a serious chat?
Anakin’s insecurities and possessiveness over Padme and their relationship.
27. Why do their friends get annoyed with them?
They act like no one knows they are dating but everyone knows that they are
28. Why do they get jealous?
I feel like Padme isn’t the jealous type while Anakin gets jealous of Padme’s exes.
29. Why do they fall a little bit more in love?
Because they are in the middle of war and they can’t take their lives for granted
