#queens shadow

[fawnloser]

being reminded of sabé and her utter devotion to padmé is so brutally painful

[orange-twilek-guy]

These quotes NEVER fail to break my heart and crush my soul and I think of them often 😭

“Whatever else you could say about Anakin Skywalker, he might just be the most genuine man in the whole galaxy.” 

-Padme Amidala Trilogy

recently read queens peril and shadow for the first time and they are all i care about

padmé sent sabé to tatooine to free slaves. she sent her to free anakins mother, but she couldn’t find her. she wore the necklace anakin gave her. she passed the jedi temple on coruscant and thought about it. what if they had found shmi skywalker? what if she was never taken? what if anakin had never killed the tuskens? I wonder if padmé ever told him that she looked for his mother?

A repost of my Padmé poem. About her life growing up in the public eye, learning how to disguise herself amongst her handmaidens. How the secrecy of her relationship with Anakin drew her to him, and she let her guard down, only for the appeal of that secrecy to slowly turn into an element of horror. Her funeral. How naboo watched her even in the end.

„Padme Amidala lay completely still.Her face was surrounded by a brown halo of hair.The effect here and there was softened by white flowers that danced in the air to settle among the curls. Her pale skin was flawless, and her face was painted with serenity. Her eyelids were closed. She floated, her hands folded over her stomach. Naboo continued in her absence”

That foreshadowing was too much for me to handle. Plus the fact that this description fits two extremely different situations hurts even more :(

I translated the text from the Polish version of the book, so it may not be one-to-one like in the English version

If anyone hasn't read the book, In the text above, Padme was swimming in the lake on naboo with her handmaidens. This was happening near the end of her term as queen.
