#not my anidala

[padme-amitabha]

Here’s another post on how TCW did Anidala and Hayden and Natalie dirty. Let’s compare the expressions of the characters and how the show and movies each portray the same couple. 

This is Anakin at his worst when he has killed children and many more and then felt betrayed by Padme and IS capable of hurting her at the moment. 

This is how you react when you get deeply hurt by someone you love:

Not this:

And these are small arguments compared to mass murder and betrayal. Is this what love is supposed to look like? Rather than this:

You are vulnerable when you are in love and you aren’t afraid to show it. It’s not about only spending time together (something they argue about in TCW). It implies unhealthy codependence. 

These two should just get a divorce because their marriage is a raging dumpster fire of clinginess, pettiness, anger issues and incompatibility. I don’t blame people for thinking they are toxic and dysfunctional because that’s what they are in the show. This is definitely not love that I’m seeing and attachment certainly has no capability to redeem anyone.

That is not to say all TCW Anidala moments are horrible but their interactions are so watered down it isn’t very convincing. It looks like attachment. Not love that can ignite the stars. One can argue it isn’t “realistic” and all couples have fights and it’s Anidala in their worst moments but can it really get worse than Mustafar? And is star wars supposed to be realistic when its creator said it’s a fairytale and a soap opera about family? Is it supposed to portray real world relationships which is not even relevant to the theme and message of the story? In contrast, look at how the movies and the OG clone wars portray love: 

Regardless of your feelings on the couple, there is no mistaking the love in their eyes and expressions. They had different upbringings but Anakin in AOTC novelization still tries to find similarities and common grounds with her whereas TCW highlights their differences and portrays it as incompatibility. 

Padme in TCW: I just know I’m not happy anymore (with you). I don’t feel safe.

Padme in ROTS novelization: For Padmé Amidala, saying I am Anakin Skywalker’s wife is saying neither more nor less than I am alive. Her life before Anakin belonged to someone else, some lesser being to be pitied, some poor impoverished spirit who could never suspect how profoundly life should be lived. Her real life began the first time she looked into Anakin Skywalker’s eyes and found in there not the uncritical worship of little Annie from Tatooine, but the direct, unashamed, smoldering passion of a powerful Jedi... But though she loves her husband without reservation, love does not blind her to his faults. She is older than he, and wise enough to understand him better than he does himself. He is not a perfect man: he is prideful, and moody, and quick to anger—but these faults only make her love him the more, for his every flaw is more than balanced by the greatness within him, his capacity for joy and cleansing laughter, his extraordinary generosity of spirit, his passionate devotion not only to her but also in the service of every living being. He is a wild creature who has come gently to her hand, a vine tiger purring against her cheek. Every softness of his touch, every kind glance or loving word is a small miracle in itself. How can she not be grateful for such gifts?

It’s sad that a lot of people are under the impression that TCW ‘saved’ Anidala when all it did was take away the pure unadulterated love Anakin and Padme shared for each other.

I'm re-reading your SW comics, and I am loving Anakin's text t-shirts. My fave so far is 'I left the Jefi and all I got was this lousy shirt'

I think I've only done 2 so far but they're so fun -- and this is a great excuse to do more!

my favorite ship dynamic is betrayal. not when they betray each other but when one or both of them turn against their cause, their principles and/or loved ones for the other. bonus points if the person they're abandoning everything for didn't remotely expect it. ultimate declaration of love. "you mean more to me than everything i ever believed in. i am more loyal to you than my conscience. i love you more than the thing i would die for."

#seeing lots of people talking abt ship dynamics and aaaaaaa #its abt devotion to your lover above everything!! #this is the appeal of anidala and gwencelot for me <333 #ship dynamics #otp #this has been a shitpost #please tag this with your blorbos btw i want to know abt more ships like this #to me that's romance #writing #1k #this is why enemies to lovers goes so hard #i love zuko more than i fear you bitch!!! #my kingdom for a kiss upon your shoulder etc

@heretolurkandnothingmore you gave me an idea about holonet discourse around Anakin.

Since Naboo is pretty far away from Coruscant, general public sees Anakin only when he accompany Padme on some official events and when he posts half-jokingly in his space instagram. The discourse around him is wild.
