In Padme's defense: all of The Phantom Menace. She remembers sweet Ani who risked his life to help strangers and didn't even ASK her (her! Aqueen!) to help him in return.
So like, I do get her ignoring some red flags with "I know he's a good person deep down who just had a bad day" because her first impression was "person with no power risks everything to save a planet he has no connections to."
It wasn't smart to ignore the red flags, but I do sort of understand it.
Oh no see the red flags are a part of the reason she likes him. you gotta think, Padmé's pretty much NEVER done anything for herself. like EVER. she was helping refugees as a small child, entered the government or smthn age 9, and BECAME QUEEN AT 14. she then went STRAIGHT into being senator and continuing to put serving her people above all else she literally never has a moment for herself
and then anakin shows up like hi i'm in love with you i think you're amazing (not queen or senator amidala -- he thinks PADME is amazing) and she KNOWS it'd be insane to be with him. she KNOWS its a stupid risk and she shouldn't but thats literally the appeal!! she wants to do something selfish!! for her!!!! like sure yeah he cares abt ppl a lot whatever. but the red flags are an essential part of anidala. he's insane but so is she

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 well well well u keep saying u don't have that many
not necessarily unpopular but i guess i feel like it's an opinion that's never expressed enough which makes it sort of unpopular TO ME. as much as i think it's good to call out bad shit the drivers do in terms of racism, sexism, bigotry etc. etc. i feel like a lot of progressive f1 spaces are forgetting that you can just hate a driver for no fucking reason. in fact, you can hate a driver for a stupid reason if you'd like. i know it's kind of instinct for a lot of fandom spaces to be like "oh did that guy do something problematic" (real 2010s tumblr users remember the blog yourfaveisproblematic which most likely is where this behaviour comes from imo) but also i've literally seen ppl go "it's kinda rude to hate a guy for no reason" NO IT'S NOT. going back to the previous unpopular opinion ask i find the hater ship quite easy bc i don't fucking know any of these people. AND ALSO it's SPORTS. of course im gonna be fucking crazy and think irrational things and have stupid reasons. GET REAL.
Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion. (bonus points for a topic)

is there a NCR routine too? that sounds like fun and I’m curious
hiiiii yes — but I’m too shy to post rn <:3 I was making routines based on rank (so easy/recruit, medium/decanus, etc) but I got stuck with the NCR one and kinda left it to hang. tbh I just used the PT of marines for a frame of reference. if u dm I can make u a cute sheet if ur interested :33
the NCR one does require equipment, but the legion utilises your bodyweight and whatevr weight you can use (like I was using a rice bag because latino.)

they want to do a pronouns circle at the new social climbing group I've joined and its 100% queer friendly, I have a few trans friends who are in it but respectfully I would rather claw my own eyes out than be perceived by anyone thanks

wait is the conceit of malevolent that people vote on what happens in the story
yep!! if you pay on a high enough tier on patreon u get access to weekly episodes and polls on how the two protags should resolve a decision. it does very weird things to both themes and characterisation. it's basically what happens when a dnd actual player decides to make an audio drama by himself with no understanding of the difference between the two mediums

hey are you feeling any better?
hey 😊 I mean. I'm feeling. I'm very chatty tonight but there's still a deep sadness. but in general I'd say things are looking relatively up yeah. never in a downward trend for too long (not because I'm mentally resilient, just because I did that in college and it was Bad so now I habitually force myself out of funks to avoid having to pay therapy bills again. less mentally healthy and more pragmatic)
