Why Padme would fall for Anakin?

Because he is the only person who sees her as a human. Padme was a child who had to grow up too fast and at 14, she was thrown into an environment where she could never let her guard down, because every person she interacted with, had always ulterior motives and they didn't care for her as a person.

This is why she finds Anakin so interesting and refreshing: Anakin is an honest man who never sugarcoated anything, which she found refreshing. On top of that, Anakin is selfless, compassionate and kind, who is interested in Padme the person, not Padme the queen, the politician or else, which throws her off because she is not accustomed to deal with honest people.

You said it!

I bought my niece this Star Wars kids book: A Queen’s Diary written in Padmé’s pov during the events of TPM, it’s sort of like Star Wars Episode 1 - Queen’s Journal and I screenshot some of the cute pages that mentioned Anakin.

I love how Padmé says she thinks her and Anakin will be friends, and celebrates Anakin’s victory in the Podrace, winning his freedom, then also his win for her planet and hopes maybe someday they’ll meet again 🥹♥️

The big question is did Padme pack the backless and dominixtrix dress on purpose to entice Anakin more 👀

I don't think she left Coruscant with them, mostly because it looks like she had just a small bag with her on that refugee transport. Just based on a little scene from her book trilogy (I think it was in Queen's Shadow?) it sounds like she has a stock of dresses in her room at the Lake House. And also, in AOTC, in one of the deleted scenes from her parent's house, she says she keeps a lot of things there.

When she left Coruscant with Anakin, she was still struggling mightily against her attraction to him, which when combined with the affection she'd always harbored for him, was dangerous in her mind. The more time they spent together, the harder it was for her to tamp down on that growing attraction, both to him physically and to who he was as a person.

All that being said, by the time they'd arrived at her parents' house, they'd spent more time alone together, so she could get reacquainted with adult Anakin vs the boy she remembered. Being home, with her family, was a reminder of the things she was giving up (mainly the chance to have romance, love and family in her life.) She packed the backless wonder and the dominatrix dress to take with her to the lake house, because a small part of her was wondering if maybe this was her shot at the very least at a little bit of romance. Even if it didn't last and was just a fling.

From the moment they arrive at Varykino, she is tempting him with her clothing choices and flirting openly with him (think about how she teases him in the meadow and rolls around in the grass with him.) It's not until the fireplace scene where he confesses that he's in love with her and she realizes how serious he is about having an actual relationship with her that she freaks out and overreacts by putting the breaks on anything and everything between them.

But she can't stay that rational course for long, because her feelings for him are too strong. She wants him more than she's ever wanted anything in her life. Being confronted with the possibility of death on Geonosis prompts her to finally be fully honest with him, but that confession would have happened inevitably. Her love for Anakin was just too overwhelming for her to hold it back much longer.

Anidala on their Naboo second honeymoon/conceive twins trip, totally recreated the fireplace scene with Padme wearing the exact same dress but this time, they did what they wanted to originally and made love on that couch 🤭😏

thank you for spreading the padmé proposes to anakin agenda; i feel like the fandom should acknowledge that she is v. much courting him (let padmé be insane abt her husband! he's her prettyboy malewife who she should get to keep)

you're welcome!

people underplay how strong padmè is as a driving force in their relationship fr just because anakin flirts first
