Hozier writing Francesca: what if every horrible thing you've ever been through has led you, or will yet lead you, to someone you love so much you'd do it all again. What if the suffering is all worth it, not from a religious standpoint but because of someone you love. What if that's all there is - heaven and hell couldn't care less about us, but we care for one another. We endure the unspeakable for one another. What if heaven won't let us in but we wander together through the darkness for eternity knowing we acted in love and having no regrets. What if heaven can't contain people of complexity and passion like ours. What if we were offered the opportunity and we said we'd do it all again.

I've been practicing my dream walking lately, so if u see me tonight please tell me I'm doing a good job. It's harder than it looks!!

There is this common narrative among Star Wars fans that Anakin is the Jedi who cares most for his clone soldiers, but I think, this misses an important part of his character. Anakin may have a close relationship with (some of) his clones, but that doesn't mean he’s free from the authoritarian mindset that defines him.

Anakin’s belief in authoritarian leadership is one of his defining traits and a source of tension in his relationship with Padmé. In Episode II, Anakin’s conversation with her about order and strong leadership ("someone wise should make them agree") gives us a glimpse into his worldview, where he sees control as a necessary tool for peace and stability. It's not subtle.

Anakin thrives as a general in a military hierarchy where he has the power to command and enforce order. His leadership style reflects his belief in decisive action and control. He expects obedience, and when his authority is challenged, he doesn't respond well. He also doesn't respond well when he feels regulated by others, like the Jedi Council.

Fives is a prime example of how Anakin’s relationship with his clones can collapse in an instance when someone seriously questions his authority. And by questioning and allegedly trying to assassinate the chancellor, Fives challenges Anakin's authority by proxy as he deeply respects Palpatine's.

When Fives uncovers the truth about the inhibitor chips and questions the entire system, Anakin is unable to process the challenge in a way that reflects true understanding or empathy for Fives's situation. This reinforces the idea that while Anakin may be fond of his clones personally, his leadership is ultimately grounded in control, not a deeper sense of equality or solidarity with them.

The argument that Anakin’s background as a slave makes him more understanding of the clones' situation may be often invoked to justify the assumption of them being close. However, this doesn’t stop him from reproducing the same power dynamics that disempowered him. Anakin’s struggle is that he’s trying to distance himself from the slave master archetype by being a "good leader", but in doing so, he still maintains the hierarchical structure that strips the clones of real agency.

Reverse Star Wars AU writing challenge: every time canon fridges a mother, fridge the father instead. Every time a woman dies for the sake of Manpain™️, kill off the dude instead.

(I know this gets particularly complicated with Obi-Wan, because his woman-who-died-in-my-arms count is in the double digits at this point, but I have faith fandom can find a way.)

The only rule is that the story cannot be about a man. It cannot be about man angst. It has to center the women.

I think about this often

*flirting* girl, you're so off-topic I can calculate your instantaneous rate of change

Being a starwars fan is firmly believing you can fix her (“her” being starwars itself)

Where do I sign up for those sensory deprivation rooms that are "inhumane" and "drive people insane"

"Anakin was manipulated by palpatine" "palpatine groomed Anakin to become his apprentice" do u ever think about how palpatine came from a planet with a history of young queens who were democratically elected, got his own massive political power with help from his sith master and not by his own merit, then took advantage of padme to achieve greater power bc he knew she'd do anything to save Naboo from the crisis he initiated?

Like obvs there's a lot of things that make palps a Bad Guy, but I just feel like crimes against Naboo, Naboo's culture and history, and padme in particular are too often overlooked. Padme was not naive, she just didn't expect the man who represented the interests of her whole planet (and 35 other planets also btw) to have organized an invasion of their shared home world. Justice for my girl
