I'm always a little weirded out by just how much both the movies and the fandom gloss over how utterly uncomfortable Padme was with being around Anakin in the beginning of AotC. Like, this is a woman who grew up under a microscope from the time she was 14, but she still goes so far as to cover all the cameras in her room, knowing that a bounty hunter is after her and just murdered one of her handmaidens, because Anakin watching her creeps her out so much.

And yeah, most of that is because the movies forget about it too in favor of reducing her character to "girl in forbidden love", but still. It's so deeply clear in the first half of the movie just how much Anakin makes Padme uncomfortable. Like. to wild degrees.

There's a line from a Good Omens fic I like, and I'll link it if I can remember what it's called, that's something like:

"When you have the power to burn down the world, it's never good to have someone you would burn down the world for."

And I think that might be one of the Jedi's fears.

Hm. What if. I just. Threw out the entire concept of my story I have so far. Start over. And write it from the villain's perspective instead. What if I just write something about him. What then.
