padme amidala reblog if you agree
Reading a fic where Waxer's facial hair is called a "soul patch" and then wondering at the history of the word
In English, the name comes from jazz/soul musicians. Supposedly, they often wore it because it was more comfortable to play instruments like the trumpet when the skin there wasn't irritated by shaving or covering in stubble
Which implies that in the gffa this type of facial hair would be called
(Sorry-not-sorry for saying this)
A "jizz patch"
it is so so cool how the first ever mention of padme comes at the tail end of rotj, just a half-memory from leia (“beautiful, kind…but sad”) that luke desperately clings to. and then the first ever onscreen appearance of padme comes from a screen-within-a-screen as she threatens the trade federation (“its queen amidala herself!”) in queen regalia so elaborate it masks her identity. we see padme through the eyes and faded memories of others before we get to know her as a human being. she barely steps out of that imperial queen persona for the whole of tpm, and then by the time we do get to see who padme really is and what she’s like with the queen mask off (aotc, rots), we find out she is, in fact, the sum of both her kids. she is endlessly forgiving and very smart and she burns for justice but is forever marked by war. she is her son, she is her daughter. you have this urge to see more of padme throughout the films, then by the time she’s telling vader she sees the good in him, you realize you’ve known her all along:) and luke’s response of “i have no memory of my mother, i never knew her” hits a million times harder, because he didn’t need to know her to carry out her legacy. it’s loose and a bit clunky but this is the magic to star wars releasing in backwards order, you get to find out padme never died!
Anakin is Orpheus by Vincent Lima and padme is Orpheus by Sara Bareilles yeah I get you
