I Think What Bothers Me About A Lot Of "girl Power" Narratives Is That They Function On The Implicit

that's the feeling for me too, so glad someone explained perfectly.. though some modern AUs are so creative and funny that you can't help but adore

I'm not sure if you're interested in creating modern AU works for the War of the Roses, but I think it will be very interesting！！！

Hello!

I've seen many examples of this kind on the internet over time, indeed, but I've never been attracted to this perspective.

The reason is simple: for me, it is about documenting and understanding a period that fascinates me. It's like a puzzle whose pieces you have to match to see the big picture. The Middle Ages is like that kind of world that you dream about for hours, wondering how things really were back then - it probably lacked the dose of fantasy that we people of today attribute to it, haha. Let's say that for me it is rather an escape from the current reality. I certainly wouldn't want to get rid of my contemporaneity by drawing the same contemporaneity, but this time with historical characters.

I say this, but this does not mean that I will never be interested in this kind of approach, but only that I am not currently attracted to it.

Thank you!

What always strikes me like a punch to the gut, is how happy and in love Anakin looks in this picture.

We all know he loves Padme and to what extents he was willing to go to keep her (Exhibit A: Joining the dark side) but the happiness and love for Padme in his expression when she tells him they're going to be parents is another level.

It just strikes me how truly Anakin, a slave boy who had to watch his mother suffer since childhood, then leave her and see her again when she's dying, leaving with Qui-Gon, only to lose him immediately and then be treated like a misfit with the Jedi, who have told him again and again how attachments are forbidden; how he craves for a family.

His family. Which he can protect and love and cherish. Where he would belong. The happiness he felt at that moment.

That's why he was so afraid to lose something so close to his heart, why he was willing to give up his beliefs and all that he had worked for in his life. Because he wanted that family he had always missed. That's what makes his fall to the dark side even more tragic 💔.

the secret to life is always having something to look forward to

mentally taking a drag of my mental cigarette because I don’t smoke but life has been very smokable lately

#absolutely

#and, like, it shouldn't even be that difficult to understand because it's really literally the core of the saga 😭

the story showed luke’s love bringing anakin ‘back’ in the end. the movie is called return of the jedi. “i am a jedi like my father before me”.

so why, then, would you think the message is “anakin was actually a toxic abusive evil piece of shit all along”, “padmé was a dummy who didn’t see red flags”, “anakin never genuinely loved padmé [or by extension luke]”, “anakin’s love was superficial”, etcetera etcetera? like 😭 just utilizing critical thinking and looking at the core story being told as well as the genre, why would you take those messages away? why would you not look at the skywalker family as people who loved each other deeply, lost each other because of evil (the dark side), and were set free by luke’s compassionate love and ability to release them?

If anybody had asked Amy what the greatest trial of her life was, she would have answered at once, “My nose.“ It was not big nor red, it was only rather flat, and all the pinching in the world could not give it an aristocratic point. No one minded it but herself, and it was doing its best to grow, but Amy felt deeply the want of a Grecian nose, and drew whole sheets of handsome ones to console herself.
