So.... some shit’s gone down. 

I’m okay. Let’s start there. 

But I’ve been having crippling headaches for six days now, I’m seeing a neurologist tomorrow to hopefully get some answers. I’ve been on bed rest for two days now, as I’m not able to sit up or stand for very long due to the pain. 

I was in the ER last Friday and they ruled out anything life threatening so that’s good, but I’m still fucking terrified. They didn’t give me anything for pain until I went to Urgent Care yesterday, and the pain pills are helping a little but not much. 

I don’t want to go on hiatus, but my activity is going to be slow or non-existent until we figure this out. 

In the meantime, message me on discord Jae#1428 !!

Vader let out a tired sigh as he rubbed at his face. Of course Padme would ask him to destroy his Master. To be fair it was something he had already been working on, as it was the way of the Sith to destroy their Masters.

“Where was that request twenty years ago, Padme? I told you I wanted to destroy him then, and you refused it. Back then I didn’t have four prosthetic limbs.” Back then he hadn’t tried to kill Obi-Wan yet. Back then he was stronger…more arrogant than he had any right to be, but stronger nonetheless.

“I didn’t know, Ani. I was ignorant to what his survival would mean for the galaxy. I wanted him to face trial, pay for his actions, but there’s no one for him to answer to anymore. I wanted to do it the right way, but as of now our only option is his destruction, and Vader’s.” 

She didn’t really have an explanation for her actions in the past, had tried to justify them for twenty years. She’d only ever come to the conclusion that she had been naive. And she’d learned fast the cost of her naivety.

Stubbornness was a trait that was thick in his family. It was something that Kylo could not get away from.

“Very well. Welcome to the First Order, Nana. I’m sure we’ll find a place for you. Perhaps have you use those aggressive negotiation skills to our advantage against the Resistance.” He said. “Also traitors will be terminated, no matter who they are. I suggest you keep in mind where you loyalty belongs and that you made this choice. Come. Lets find you a uniform.”

Oh, if he thought he could out stubborn her, then they were in for a fight. 

“No, we won’t be finding me a uniform.” she says sternly, “I have conditions. I wear my own clothes, I’m to be treated with the respect I’ve earned, and I won’t be doing your dirty work. My loyalties have and always will lie with what’s good for the galaxy.” 

She sets him with a hard look, “Otherwise, you will treat me as the prisoner you think I am.”

Friendly reminder that Padme had a subplot in Episode III where she was going against Palpatine’s actions and she, Bail Organa, and Mon Mothma (her only appearance in the prequel trilogies) basically formed the early version of the Rebel Alliance, but the entire thing was deleted.

[dreadedloreenkid]

Apparently this subplot was cut at the last minute because Lucas wanted to keep the focus on Anakin, but tbh this would have strengthened Anakin’s storyline as well as the film overall. In the final scene of the subplot, Palpatine starts sowing seeds of doubt in Anakin about Padme’s loyalty to the Republic and to Anakin himself, and it helps show that not only did the Empire begin in ROTS, but so too did the Rebellion. 

Plus, it has the added value of reinforcing how Palpatine essentially had full control of the Republic long before it formally became the Empire; by the time he declares himself Emperor, the title is little more than a formality. The Petition Of The Two-Thousand is a blacklist that Palpatine can use in the early years of the Empire to scapegoat any political opponents and eliminate them, silencing any opposition. It also gives Padme and clear and powerful legacy in the history of the Rebellion, almost as a martyr.

Finally, we have the artistic value - the contrast between Anakin and Padme, as their politics divides them and they each help to form the Empire and the Rebellion respectively, culminating in the final symbolism of them lying on their respective operating tables clad in black and white. 

[lolicraft-deactivated20181203]

Also a friendly reminder that Padme also had a subplot where she was beginning to see the evil in Anakin and was actually working with the Rebellion to kill him before it was too late,

REMEMBER THIS SCENE? Remember how sappy and forced the dialogue was?

According to someone who worked on ROTS, there was supposed to be a reveal right after their sappy talk where Anakin leaves and members of the consul come out, revealing that Padme is working with them to try and see Anakin’s motives and whether he is turning to the dark side or not, basically turning Padme from a lovesick girl to an informant who is betraying her husband for the greater good

REMEMBER THIS SCENE AS WELL?

According to the same guy, the original scene would be Padme coming to the planet after Anakin kills the younglings to assasinate Anakin for the Rebellion while there is still time to do so (here’s the original scene art for it)

According to the cast member, as the two are embracing, Padme has a knife in her hands aimed at Anakin’s jugular, knowing the situation and almost accepting that he has lost Padme, he at first doesn’t say anything, basically saying ‘ok then, kill me’. But at the last minute Padme breaks the bond because she realizes she can’t kill the man she loves, this anakin kills her.

This would have done so much not only for Padme’s character, but also for the movie’s overall plot and story and I will be forever angry at Lucas for cutting it! Like…what the hell was he thinking?????

@darksidewalker​  Sent “LISTEN” to hug my muse against the wall to let them know they LOVE THEM

Padme let out a soft ‘oomph’ as she was pressed back against a wall. She stared up at him and shook her head, unflinching, “We can’t do this, Anakin.” she insisted again, even though her heart was racing against the cage in her chest. 

She had her duties, he had his oaths. It was forbidden. There was a laundry list of things standing between them. And she was apparently the only one aware of this list, from the way he was acting. 

She had to be responsible, be wary. But even now, her tight grip on propriety was slipping. Having him so close, so within reach was tempting. Too tempting. But she was held fast against the wall, so she did the only thing she could and kept her hands in tight fists at her side.

Adds some tbh, I need more variety:

Send “OOF” to pin my muse against the wall by ACCIDENT

Send “HA” to pin my muse against the wall as a JOKE

Send “NO” to pin my muse against the wall to PROTECT THEM

Send “LISTEN” to hug my muse against the wall to let them know they LOVE THEM

        it wasn’t easy to track her. in fact, luke was certain for a long time that he wasn’t ever going to. when obi-wan had informed him that his mother was, in fact, still alive, he’d made it his mission to track her down. she was a part of his mysterious past that he desperately wanted to put together. in order to save his father, he believed finding his mother would be essential in doing so. she could change the whole fabric of the universe —– she could change everything.

          but luke, of course, was surprised by her reaction, though thinking about it now, perhaps he couldn’t really blame her. he’d been tracking her for days now and only until recently did he realize that she may have figured that out. he’d hoped to remain conspicuous, but it didn’t look like that was going to happen. instead, he came face to face with her —- well, as much as her hood would reveal, anyways. 

          he holds up his hands in front of him, lightsaber fastened at his belt securely. he didn’t go to grab it. he wasn’t going to  fight his own mother, after all. 

          “ don’t worry, i’m not going to blow your cover. my name is luke… luke skywalker. i’m your son. ”

Padme lowered the blaster slowly, suspicious. Her eyes narrowed, frowning a little deeper. Of all the people she thought could be following her, her son was not on that list. She’d, of course, heard rumors of a boy named Luke from Tatooine who had destroyed the empire’s latest weapon, and she had just known he was a Skywalker.

But now, faced with him, she didn’t know what to do. Seeing that his hands were clear, that he wasn’t making a move to reach for the weapon on his side, she slipped her blaster back into it’s holster and lifted her hands. She removed her hood in one swift motion so she could look at him clearly. 

She could see Anakin in his face, the shape of his jaw, his eyes, his nose, everything. She tilted her head as she inspected him, he wasn’t as tall as Anakin had been but he was still taller than her. Even with the resemblance, she’s hesitant. Unsure. 

“Luke.” she states, the name familiar on her tongue, voice as stoic as her face even though her emotions are racing as fast as her heart, “How did you find me?”

cxmeback‌:

Still shadowed in disbelief, Rey shrugs her shoulders. She knows Padme is right, to some extent, but the reminder of her previous failure still hangs over her. No matter how close she’d actually gotten, she’d still failed. Ben had turned away from her. She’d never taken his hand.

“…I don’t want to see him fall. Not when there’s still good in him.” she mumbles, rolling the japor snippet between her fingers. A thought strikes her then, one she hadn’t figured to ask before.

“Can you reach out to him?” she blurts suddenly, “With the Force? Leia can. She said she tried to do it once…on the bridge of the ship…you can do it too, can’t you? You could try and speak to him. Tell him to come home.”

Not when there’s still good in him. If Padme could sum up her experience with Skywalker boys, that would be the sentence that did it. She smirks, letting out a single huff of laughter, then shakes her head. There had been good in Vader, he just realized it too late. And there had been so much good in Luke. Her heart hurts for them, both of them, and all the wasted time. 

Padme shakes her head at Rey’s next question, “I’m not gifted in the force like my children. They got that from their father.” She hates to disappoint her but, “I doubt I’d have any more luck than his mother did, if I could. He’s long forgotten the love I have for him.” 

She thinks for a long moment about the young boy that had once put flowers in her hair, “I wish for nothing more than to talk to him, to remind him. But unfortunately, that is not in my skill set.”

@pilotsparked​ || Cont. 

“I’m powerless here.” she admits with a sigh, “All of my mistakes, all the things I could change...” It has nothing to do with you, she wants to say hearing the edge in his voice, you’re the only one who makes this place comfortable. “I can’t even help my daughter, my son, or my grandson because they don’t know me. Do you have any idea how painful it is? To have nothing? No one?”
