I hope your Moreau/Knox picture eventually makes its way to your Redbubble! It's my header on Twitter (credited!) and I'd love to have it as a sticker or something eventually, because it's wonderful :)

I added it ! thank you a lot for your interest, and also for the nice words! .A.

So, for the headcanon meme... Do you have any thoughts or headcanons about Darth Maul? (If not him, maybe your favorite minor Star Wars character?)

I know literally nothing about Darth Maul except that he was confusing for small sarah’s nascent sexuality (star wars was an epic of confusingly hot aliens watching the prequels at thirteen was probably a mistake)

bUT I love Breha Organa to an unholy degree and I would love to talk about her some more:

In another world, another life, where she was not so directly in line for the queenship, she was a school teacher. Her students loved her, for he way her hands moved when she spoke, and how she saw them as individuals, unique. (In every world, no one ever questioned how much Breha Organa deserved children.)

Once, when she was all of nineteen, she was arrested during a protest of the teacher’s union. Her family exerted its influence and had her quietly released, the event quietly expunged from her record. (Future queens could not be arrested asking for a living wage for their people, what was she thinking? She’d let her father steer her from the Halls of Justice, her ears burning with humiliation and shaking with the unfairness of it all.)

She had her revenge when they appointed her Secretary of Education, and she wrote the wage increase into law. Loudly, and with much fanfare.

Her marriage to Bail was not exactly arranged so much as it was strongly encouraged, their families having agreed that the two would make an excellent match—but she hadn’t expected to like him as much as she did.

She had actually found him crushingly boring, at first. It took a while to peel back the gracious, concerned political mask he wore like a second skin (no one looks the flower but is the serpent under it quite like Bail Organa.)

If pressed, she would admit she agreed to marry him because he leaned over during a performance of traditional Alderaanian opera and whispered “look at the minister of finance” (the minister of finance was sleeping with his face buried in the red-faced minister of the interior’s  cleavage, and Breha had to bite down savagely on her knuckle to keep from laughing.

(Loving him came later, but when it arrived, it was good. A sure and loyal pillar, that Breha leaned on all her life.)

The day she was crowned Queen of Alderaan was one of the longest and most dull days of her then-young life. She did not enjoy her coronation at all; her shoes had pinched. Everyone she danced with had sweaty palms, except for Bail.

She wanted children (child, just one, she would take just one, she wasn’t greedy) so badly that it crushed her sometimes. In the privacy of her rooms she still lit a candle for every child she had almost-had, whether they breathed or not.

There had been a good few years in there when she had been sure she lost Bail’s love entirely—she was lost in depression, every atom of her screaming for a child, this one thing he could not give her, not without grief.

He was always away, the demands of the Senate, the demands of the war, the demands of—

And they fought, whenever he returned. Bloody verbal flayings, that left her reeling and limping for days, alone alone alone. It was a dark time.

Though she would go to the grave before admitting it, she had been sure that Bail was having an affair with Senator Amidala. The prospect of the affair did not bother her so much as the fact that he didn’t tell her. (She prized his honesty more than his fidelity, always.)

The day Bail comes home with a small, squalling bundle, her skin paler than either of them, saying, her name is leia, I thought—

Sareena, have you ever posted a picture of your legend/color key for your bullet journal? I'm setting up my first one (yay!) and I'm interested in seeing what other people's look like. (But obviously if you haven't/don't want to, that's fine!!)

i have some here and in most of my bullet journaling videos!

“Let Riko be King,“ Kevin said, with the exaggerated enunciation of the thoroughly sloshed. “Most coveted, most protected. He’ll sacrifice every piece he has to protect his throne. Whatever. Me?” Kevin gestured again, meaning to indicate himself but too drunk to get his hand higher than his waist. “I’m going to be the deadliest piece on the board.”

@capsicleized: I saw this post you made - hope this is okay? (And  that you haven’t already gotten tons of other people to make one for you? xD)

Ai, we’re gonna have to hang out and talk about the EU because I know literally nothing about it but it would be fascinating to hear!

OH BUDDY IF ONLY YOU KNEW

I mean tbh I read most of it in middle school and I was never as into like the New Jedi Order the way my sister was, but it’s so cozy the same way A New Hope is.

Maybe I’ll see if I-Share has my faves, and try to reread them this term.

Hi, so um, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while and in light of the anon you just answered I thought I would go for it... I really love your Disney Witch series and don't know what your stance would be on doing a male character, but I kind of thought that Christopher Robin from Winnie the Pooh would work really well with that? I totally would understand if you want to stick to female characters (since it's a /witch/ series) but he seemed to fit the vibe pretty well to me.

i actually really love that! some people had asked me for a disney hero series but most of the princes don’t really have much of a personality to expand on for such a big graphic. i do love the christopher robin idea, though! i don’t know if i’ll ever do a male witch series, but if i do he’ll definitely be included!

Remind me to play Ashokan Farewell on my violin for you sometime

this is illegal because I have been trained since childhood to cry while it plays

for real though. I cried at the DVD menu of The Civil War when we watched it in AP US, before it even started

NO PLEASE do the headcanons and tell us! I'm starting to have trouble not thinking about the handmaidens and today I wrote in my journal that 1) it is a problem 2) someone needs to write the girl gang fic.

weLL MY FAVORITE OC’S I’ve created for this are aké, aphera, reia, & zenée (i have 4 more but idk i’m iffy on all of them). but bc i don’t like the graphics i made i have their descriptions and backstories under the cut (and their style of dress bc the naboo queens are known for it ok it’s a very important marker in all of their identities both as a whole group of women and as individuals bc in both cases it sets them apart from the rest & anyone who doesn’t like it can fight me)

aké “queen munalla” is 18 and was queen from 5 bby - 1 bby until she fled after hearing word from one of her handmaidens that the empire knew of her rebel sympathies (they were more than sympathies as she was a part of the rebellion). skilled with a blaster, she now works as a sniper for the rebel alliance. aké is one of the more extravagant dressers of the naboo queens (which is saying something bc they all dress p extravagantly) and almost always has her face painted. she usually wears modified versions of the dresses she wore as queen (imagine something like padmé’s return to naboo dress from tpm w the same headdress & the dress just has tighter sleeves and pants rather than a skirt & yeah just stuff like that).

aphera is 22 and she was aké’s handmaiden. aphera is a skilled spy and an explosives expert. she was made a handmaiden by imperial officials and her job was to spy on aké to make sure she was compliant with the empire. she later informed aké of the imperial suspicions and joined the rebellion. born and raised on tatooine, she is the only member of the naboo queens not to be originally from naboo (the reason she is allowed to be apart of it is bc she was a handmaiden and she has shown loyalty to both aké and to naboo). because she is not from naboo, for the most part aphera does not abide by the rigid dress code of the naboo queens but rather her style of dress is reminiscent of the style of tatooine settlers and of tusken raiders. the only time she dresses as extravagantly as the rest of the women is when she is on a spy mission (depending on who she’s spying on) (although she foregoes the facepaint (obviously) and when she is on a mission with any of the other women (and with that she goes all the way and ends up being one of the most extravagant).

reia “queen danaalia” is 13. she is aké’s successor and one of the youngest members of the naboo queens. on the outside she is 100% loyal to the empire and is basically the empire’s child darling. reia however is actually a spy and is consistently feeding information to the rebellion. her father was a popular politician on naboo before retiring and her mother is an immigrant from alderaan (names ending with ‘eia’ became popular in alderaan after bail and breha adopted leia). reia was raised in the secluded lake country which she reflects in her style of dress both as queen and during her everyday life. her outfits as queen are less restrictive than those who have come before her and often incorporate lighter fabrics. her everyday style of dress is p much the star wars version of a preteen going through their hippie phase (complete with flower crowns). when passing on information to and when meeting with the rebel alliance, her outfits are very subdued and she usually has a veil covering her hair and most of her face.

 zenée is 19 and ran against aké for office and lost only by a few votes. she is popular among political circles and many believe that if/when reia leaves office before her term ends or is killed (something that had been frequent with recent queens of naboo), she would be the next queen. she tells her peers that she is leaving naboo to work with refugees across the galaxy when she left to join the rebel alliance. zenée is a skilled smuggler of weapons and people and often uses disguises to complete her missions. when spying, she typically wears whatever is common of the people she needs to blend in around (obviously). outside of her missions, she usually dresses in elaborate styles of shirts and pants and she always keeps her hair done up elaborately.
