#breha organa appreciation post

[girlrandomstuff]

Star Wars better give me Bail and Breha love story or else i'll sue

You know what's been missing from Star Wars television and movies? Romance!! I'm hardly shipping anything! Where are the good canon ships??? We had Han and Leia, Anakin and Padmé, Obi-Wan and Satine, Kanan and Hera! There's no romance in Star Wars anymore except a little bit in The Last Jedi, but where are the couples???

[wanderingjedihistorian]

For your bingo: emperor, Cody, and incubus Obi-Wan. Separately or together as you please. 😊

Excellent choices, thank you! 😁

Emperor Cody had an outing for 212th Appreciation Week

You did nothing wrong and your story was wonderful. This fandom is so immature and braindead. Anyway I would love to hear your head canons about Bail!! I know you love him but I dunno if Ive ever seen you post why?? so! I present you qith an opportunity to wax poetic about Bail.

Thank you. I think that people who can relate will be able to appreciate it, and those who who can't won't, which is fine.

I love Bail Organa!!!! There is just so much about him to love and I feel like he's such an interesting character, but I really rarely see people appreciating him or using him to his full potential in fanfiction.

He's a senator who loves his people so much. During the clone wars, he was often out fighting on the frontlines. In Clone Wars Gambit, he and Breha sent personal letters to the families of each Alderaanian who died in the war. A lot of senators didn't visit their planets often once they were elected, but Bail always cared about his people and was in constant contact checking in on his planet. When he saw that the Republic wasn't working, he worked with colleagues he trusted to help start a rebellion. His focus in the Senate was on the security of democracy, and that passion continued even as the Republic failed.

I also think his friendship with Padmé is so interesting. He almost reflects Obi-Wan for her when it comes to her relationship with Anakin. He can tell that they're together, but he won't mention it unless she mentions it first. He worries about her, but he respects her privacy. When Anakin and Obi-Wan are away he goes to check in on her often, and when he sees her worried sick about them (him), his thought is like, "these poor kids, I wish I could help them."

The conversations he has with Obi-Wan in Clone Wars Gambit are so interesting to me. He trusts him before anyone else when he realizes there might be a sensitive mission. He's already losing some faith in the Republic because it's such a scary time, but he still trusts Obi-Wan, before his fellow senators (other than Padmé) and before the Jedi in general.

Obi-Wan is able to relax with him a little bit in a way he can't relax with the other Jedi. Who else would he be having a personal dinner party with? I don't think Obi-Wan has many actual friends that would be his friends outside of the war, other than Dex in a way, but Bail seems like he would be a friend to him no matter the context. He remembers his quirks and knows how to communicate with him. I can't remember what book it was in that Obi-Wan and Bail are discussing Anakin and Bail even thinks the two of them are too close, but just like he does for Anakin and Padmé, he doesn't mention it out loud and thinks, "these poor people." I don't think anyone else would have been able to coax him out of hiding in the OWK era.

The very best appeal of Bail Organa though, which is also the reason I can't take shipping him with anyone else seriously, is how much he loves his wife. I would watch an entire series about Bail and Breha Organa. He married into a royal family and took his wife's name, not because of her status, but because he wanted to dedicate himself to her. When he met her, he didn't even want to be a noble anymore - he was running away from that life! Before they met, he was dedicating himself to crossing class boundaries to help those less fortunate than him, and they continued that quest together. Alderaan's government and people were so strong because their queen and viceroy cared about every single one of them.

When Breha wanted a child and was unable to have one, he wanted a family just as much and looked for alternate resources for her. He didn't want to put her through the pain of another miscarriage, but she wanted to keep trying. They saw all of the best fertility experts on Coruscant and Alderaan, but in the end, another solution presented itself. It's so clear in the OWK show that Bail is such an amazing father for Leia. He loved her parents so much, and he loves her even more. They have such great chemistry for genuine friendship as father and daughter, and I think if he'd survived he would have been so proud of the woman she turned out to be. Don't even get me started on the phrasing of "she will be loved with us."

I love him because he is so full of love and he always wants to do what's right. He's knowledgeable about so many things, but he knows how to be careful about what he knows. He notices injustice and finds ways around it, but waits until the right time to stir the pot. It breaks my heart to know what happened to him, and even more to know how Anakin was involved. I wonder if Anakin ever thought about that, but at that point, he'd already killed so many people he loved that he was probably just another layer of sickness and grief. Whenever I watch Rogue One I'm screaming at the end for him not to go!

I don't think anyone will read this far, but that is my shortest possible summary of why I love Bail Organa ❤️

Beyond the way that Everything Everywhere All At Once made queer & Asian people feel seen through the beautifully complex way it portrayed generational trauma and the struggle to just get your family to understand, there was also the little details that really stood out to me throughout the movie that made me feel so fucking seen as a Chinese diaspora kid. As much as Shang-Chi and Crazy Rich Asians were milestones in Chinese representation in western media, the way that EEAAO does it is just so much deeper than those two films.

God, where do I even begin? It's in the small the details. It's the way their rice cooker sings at the start of the movie with the exact same tune my rice cooker sings with once it's done cooking. It's the way that Waymond hums Gong Xi Gong Xi (恭喜恭喜) during the CNY party - the exact same song that I was taught in Saturday Chinese school. It's the way they seamlessly switched between Mandarin to English to Cantonese to Chinglish in a way that's completely familiar to me because that's how my household and community spoke. The small details made me feel seen in ways that Shang-Chi and Crazy Rich Asians only touched on briefly.

But there's also other details, too. Small moments. When Waymond looked longingly at the elderly Chinese couple embracing in the IRS building, that brief embrace reminded me of how I would see the same thing in the local Asian grocery stores in my home community. It reminded me of my grandparents, walking hand in hand here in Canada at the mall. It also reminded me of how you never, ever see sweet moments like that between Chinese elders in Western media, ever.

And on top of that, the way it framed the connection to China/HK hit close to home. In the brief shots of Waymond and Evelyn as young lovers, there's something about it that's just perfectly reminiscent of my parents. It's the narrow-ass balcony, the outfits, the grainy footage, the hairstyles. It looks like something straight out of my parent's albums. In addition to this, the way the fights were a tribute to Stephen Chow films and the way that the Wong Kar-Wai universe was shot just pulled me directly back to the times that I'd pass by my parents watching those films in the living room.

The thing I appreciate as well is the fact that it doesn't take the characters back to Asia like many immigrant stories tend to do. Yes, there are parallel universes where the characters never left their homeland, but there's nothing forcing them to go back like in Shang-Chi or Crazy Rich Asians. By keeping the film set in America, EEAAO tells us: here is home. You're still connected to your ancestral roots through family ties and cultural practices, but you've found a new home despite the difficulties living here. Your identity as someone stuck in-between as an immigrant family is valid and your story matters. It's worth telling. You matter.

Every time someone like Kim Jong-Un is rumored to be dying the West will be like "They're forcing citizens to mourn in the streets! So barbaric and backwards, how could the regime impose such ridiculous rules on their citizens!" and it's just startling how incredibly unaware so many people are

[whitesunlars]

owen lars, beru whitesun lars, bail organa, breha organa, incredible people the lot of them

[hobbitinthetardis]

i do not think we appreciate this man enough so fuck it

bail prestor organa appreciation post

he was always against the clone wars, from the beginning (which king!!) and even after he had resigned himself to the fact that tcw were inevitable, he became especially active in humanitarian operations and relief missions, etc.

then during the rise of the empire he saved both yoda and obi-wan (assisted/saved/whatever) going against direct orders to do what he believed was right at his own risk. but while doing all of this he continued his duties as a senator. and then he and his wife??? adopt a child??? no prompting needed they just adopt his close friend's child because she needed a home. go off king.

even after the rise of the empire he continued to serve in the senate — still adamantly speaking for democracy. even in the face of the empire, a dictatorship, he remained a senator because within that position of power he was able to not only help people through aid missions but help others have hope and faith in democracy.

and while doing this he was pretty much RUNNING a rebellion right under the empire's noses!! he remained in a position of power (which left him right in the empire's spotlight putting him at further risk) and still was at the head of the entire bloody rebels like THIS MAN

and during this time period he was also raising his adopted daughter!! raising her, i might add, in a household of love and care. like he wasn't a bad father. not even slightly he was a great dad.

anyway. i just think bail organa is neat and under appreciated thank you for coming.

[princessbreha]

the way sleeves on breha organa’s represent the ocean waves on alderaan is so beautiful. not because of the aesthetic but because she is alderaan.

she’s become one with her planet, the way you describe breha organa is the way you describe alderaan, a living on alderaan. she’s given herself to it so much that the picture is completed with her having a part of alderaan on her clothing. it’s almost saying “the way i treat you is the way you’ll be treated on my planet” which is kind, caring, hearing every voice, treating everyone equally. we don’t have many content of her; but on the ones we see, she’s nothing but a bunch of goodness, which made leia the caring, kind woman she is today.

[gothambunny]

u ever think abt how breha fell off a fucking mountain and survived practically normally and anakin got burned and palps stuffed him in the vader suit like they could have fixed him much better than that except for that palps is a dick also leia probably got her "I'm gonna do whatever the fuck I want" from breha too not just padme genes and bail probably got very little sleep trying to keep his tiny wife and tiny daughter from personally punching the emperor in the face.

[hollywoodwhispers]

Look I love Padmé Amidala okay

I ran like the #1 Queen Amidala fanblr for several years and have a massive Amidala pin collection alright

but there’s a whole lot of Breha Organa erasure happening with the appearance of little Leia

[girlrandomstuff]

This whole post has my whole heart 😭❤️

You don’t understand how important it is to me to see Leia, onscreen, growing up on Alderaan and being loved by her parents Bail and Breha. Bored with her passive princess life, as most ten-year-olds would be, but happy and cared for. To see Bail and Breha being so in love with each other, so happy and encouraging of their little girl, leading Alderaan together.

So many of us knew this already from books, but not everybody reads the books. To see it so clearly on the screen, available to everyone, these moving, breathing, talking people; to see the world and the people Leia lost and fought in memory of, materialized rather than as something to infer, is so special. In the OT, it’s just this abstract idea of loss, of something we, the viewers, have never seen, have no investment on, although we get a glimpse at the end of ROTS, and then again in Rogue One, but it’s just that: glimpses. Breha didn’t even have a line. It’s easier to compare Leia to Anakin and Padmé when you have three movies to get to know them as characters, so much more than books only a handful of people have read.

You don’t need that, or any other material, to understand Leia’s loss, her character, and her role in the OT, of course. But it’s still so rich to explore, so valuable to have. Going from “Do you remember your real mother?”, as if adoptive parents were any less real than biological ones, to seeing Bail promise Obi-Wan that she will be loved with them, then telling Mon Mothma that he would trust her with his life, and now, on top of that, to see Bail reassure Leia of her identity as their child, an Organa in every way, Breha telling Leia that she would miss her, noticing how similar Leia is to her husband, wanting to move earth and sky to find Leia but being so afraid someone else will find her first and they’ll never see her again–

Those are her parents. Breha and Bail Organa are Leia’s parents in every way that matters, and now everybody can see that. And they were loved with her, too.

Lando The Nosy Neighbor AU

Title: good fences make good neighbors

Summary: Modern AU based off the premise presented to me as ‘Han and Leia move into the same neighborhood and start a feud, only to eventually overthrow the local Homeowner’s Association.’

Relationships: Pot-farmer!Han/Lawyer!Leia; Farmboy!Luke/Survivalist!Din; Lando & Breha Organa & Chewbacca

This is based off a rural community in Washington which has local cults.

Lando POV

---------------

A hippy has moved in next to the Organas.

It’s a good one, too. This one hasn’t even rented a moving truck, they’ve just come on over with all their furniture tetris-ed in on top of itself and wrapped tight with rope, blankets, and prayer.

Lando’s petunias screech for watering as the hippy throws open the truck’s door and comes staggering out, cracking his lanky back. Out of the other side comes an even hairier, even lankier person. He closes the truck door and looks right at Lando.

He stares.

It is a challenge. But of course, not one that Lando is not prepared to handle.

He points at his watering can.

Hippy Two seems to scoff.

Lando waits until he’s distracted by the first hippie struggling with the blue house’s doorknob to dump the remaining water into the pebbles under his ornamental bridge.

He returns inside and goes about his busy business, tying back the curtains.

It is always good to have someone new in the neighborhood.

--

 It takes the hippy couple a few weeks to get settled into their new home, and in that time neither has ingratiated themselves to Lando.

The stupid one with the floppy hair caught onto Lando’s tricks at the weekly poker match held in the local bar. Lando may have lost his irrigation system, but he has not lost his dignity. It was old anyways. He’s been planning to replace it for nearly a year now. There is never a better time than the present to start making your dreams into reality.

And anyways, the floppy haired out-of-towner will get what is coming to him. Lando has already sown the seed of his demise.

Leia Organa returned home to look after her poor, sick, stubborn mother just two months ago. Breha is fine, of course, not even cancer could snuff out her fires, although she is bored of her husband and daughter trying to trap her indoors. Her immunocompromised escapades have been delightful to watch.

The Organas are always a lively group. There is never a dull moment or lack of machinations among them—especially the lady of the household. She, like Lando, appreciates a good tussle. Which is why he has pointed out to Leia that her new neighbors’ greenhouse is mighty interesting, is it not?

Lawyer Leia’s ears pricked up like a horse’s, and Breha’s sharp eyes took on new sheen.  

Lando watches Leia in the mornings now, struggling to find upper-body strength and purchase on the wood of her backyard fence, among the roses and bougainvillea. She’s so tiny, Leia. Breha is not an overly large person either, and thus is no help in this endeavor to collect data on the greenhouse of questionable origins and purposes on the other side of the fence. Leia doesn’t need her, though. She needs no one. She’s seen what she needs to.

Lando pours tea from a glass pot given to him by someone in his company who wishes for their secrets to remain so and beautiful, clear amber liquid fills his cup.

He looks up to see Leia holding her phone out as far as she can without relinquishing her grip on the fence. She fumbles, trying one-handedly to document the crime before her, but alas. Even the mighty sometimes trip on the red carpet.

The phone slips. She grabs after it in slow-motion, horror filling every pore of her face.

It is gone now, that phone.

The Public Nuisances will know what she has been up to.

Lando sighs and leans back in his seat.

--

 It is no time at all before the dropped phone is returned graciously over the white, waist-height fence that separates the Public Nuisance’s yard from the Organas’. Leia snatches her phone back and wipes it off with her hand and sleeve. The shorter public enemy, Han, he calls himself, smiles at her cheekily. He retracts his hand and gestures to the taller fence, barely visible for the fruit trees and vines, between their backyards and says something that makes Leia go very, very still.

It is, undoubtedly, a challenge. Not unlike the one that that the more polite public nuisance, Chewie, opened his and Lando’s relationship with.

Chewie has explained without mincing his words, that he and Han have come here because their last venture was lost in a snowstorm. Chewie will be damned if his precious seedlings are so callously frosted over again. The Pacific Northwest has no chance of freezing over, he says. It provides a better setting to grow stock.

Weed, he means. Marijuana. Chewie is again, not shy. He and Han make good money supplying dispensaries with their organic, hand dried leaves. It is apparently ‘artisan’ like in quality.

Lando isn’t sure he’d go that far, but yes, it is nice stuff. And yes, Leia, bastion of justice, does need to see the men’s permits.

Lando opens the window for a breeze and catches Han telling Leia that he’ll produce them if she arm wrestles him for the right to witness their authenticity. Leia agrees. Han fetches a small worktable from the house’s garage and sets it between them.

The match is over within seconds. Leia has never been so insulted in her life. She demands a rematch and, out of sheer indulgence, Han gives it to her.

He is nearly a foot taller than her. He could lift her up and over her own fence with ease if he so desired. He wins the next round. And the next one. He loses the last one by reason of having his leg deadened under the table but stands abruptly to renegade on his earlier promise.

“You watch yourself, princess,” he calls over his shoulder with his hand on his front door’s knob.

“Oh, I’ll be watching,” Leia snarls back.

Han slams the door. Chewie looks from him to Leia standing fuming in the shade of her family’s pine trees.

“Unbelievable,” she snaps at him before stomping off herself. “UNBELIEVABLE.”

Lando flicks his eyes up to see Breha’s dining room window wide open. She too, has a cup of tea. She lifts it his way and he lifts his back.

Finally, some quality entertainment once more.

--

 Han and Leia’s hatred has become neighborhood gossip. They have begun going to extraordinary lengths to gain the others’ attention. For example, Han, in weeding his sparce flowerbeds, was careful to shove the fruits of his labor between the fence slats into Bail’s well-tended herb garden. Bail, ever the gentleman, does not mind, but of course Leia feels that her family honor has been spat upon. She collects the weeds and returns them to her owner, via mailbox. It is kind of her to put the flag down, so Han knows that he’s received a message.

The retaliation is a mural in rainbow colors commissioned by Han and painted by one of the budding young teenagers from a school about a thirty minute drive downtown. It is...psychedelic. And facing Leia’s bedroom window.

Han asked the youth who painted it to add in a figure in the center of the composition; it is a brown-haired woman dressed all in white, surrounded by thorny vines, and attempting to climb a fence. The young artist must have felt like Michelangelo in the application of those delicate strokes of artistry. They knew they were creating something holy.

Han helps that along by bracketing the figure with solar lanterns that light up at night and keep the image fully illuminated.

When Lando arrives to Breha’s side to go on a walk, arm in arm, with her and her beast of a terrier, she giggles like a schoolgirl behind her hand.

“Han is very handsome,” she tells Lando.

“He’s alright,” Lando says.

“I think he and Leia are a perfect match. Will for will. No one’s ever dared to cross her like this.”

Now that is a fact.

“I wonder if this is the start of something more,” Breha says.

“What does your husband think?” Lando asks.

Breha waves him off dismissively.

“Oh, you know. He’s convinced that Leia will kill Han in his sleep, and we will be forced to post bail, but I told him—as I’ve told you, Lando—Leia’s too smart to get caught committing axe murder. Now poisoning, that’s a different story.”

--

 Lando wakes up and makes coffee. He turns on his computer and opens his curtains to let the light pour in and warm his hardwood floors. He stands at the window, hiding a smirk behind his mug.

Leia has had enough. She has called the Home Owner’s Association and they are standing at Han’s front doorstep.

--

 It is about three weeks before Han and Leia have overthrown the Home Owner’s Association for interfering in their escalating romance—ahem—bloodfeud. By then, Lando’s work-from-home situation is suffering. It is impossible to focus with those two cluttering up his view with distractions left and right. He determines that, for the sake of his finances, he must direct his attention to something a little further afield.

The Lars’s vegetable stand is becoming something of an institution.

It’s about a mile or so out of Lando’s way, tucked smack in the middle of the battlefield that is the stretch of land between the survivalist cult that lives in the forest and the pseudo-Buddhists that live in their compound. The farm itself is a few acres and the Lars’s son can be seen walking around, herding livestock out of the road and into pastures.

Lando has heard whispers that this son is none other than Leia’s twin brother, but no one has the nerve to directly ask the Organas about the truth of such a scandalous idea. The most that can be said about Luke Lars-Skywalker is that he is a master of social media.

He has created a Youtube channel and an Instagram to document the practices of his family’s farm and the products they produce. He is in a twitter-war with many communities online for his videos on small-scale bee-keeping, and his family’s stand is proudly boycotted by the vegan association in the city on farmer’s market days.

It has become well-known among the farm-to-table restaurants in the city, though, and that is why Luke keeps on keeping on with his cows and his fowls and his silly camera holder.

But all that means little because Luke Lars-Skywalker is in love.

Anyone with eyes can see it.

He is in love with an ancestral enemy.

See, in this area there are not one, but two cults and naturally, they abhor and reject the others’ teachings. To the south are the pseudo-buddhist, clairvoyants who have fashioned themselves more or less as monks preoccupied with meditation, self-development, and a few fairly mystical beliefs among the rather terrifying devotion to martial arts. To the north are the survivalist whack-jobs who don’t believe in electricity or running water, but who are also, somehow, preoccupied with self development and a terrifying devotion to martial arts.

Both groups have publicly denounced the other as misguided extremists.

The rumors say that Luke and Leia’s biological father is one of the clairvoyants, and this is where the heart of the current delightful irony lays.

Luke Lars-Skywalker is in love with one of those survivalists.

Lando knows this because he has seen it with his very own eyes.

He took a trip a while back to purchase some greens from the vegetable stand and he was there for a little while, picking through the selection, when he looked up and saw Luke’s posture explode out of its lax boredom. Lando looked over his shoulder to see what Luke’s tan, freckled attention had latched onto and lo and behold.

It was a man. And not only a man, a man with a baby.

Luke stuffed knuckles into his mouth to keep from cooing as the father of the child nodded at him and meandered over to have a poke through the produce piled up on the stand. The baby, dressed carefully in layers of warm, water-resistant clothing, watched Luke right back. He smiled and grunted, waving his dark, stubby arms and Luke melted—literally collapsed into a fraction of his size behind the paystation.

The father, a white rugged guy with dark curly hair and a great deal of stubble, shifted the baby to his other arm. His worn, heavy clothing and the military-style canvas sack on his back marked him as one of the Cabin-In-the-Woods people.

Lando felt like he was watching a country romance flick in real life.

Luke gathered his courage and approached the dad and baby to ask if they were looking for anything in particular. The baby immediately held hands out to him. Luke asked the father if he could hold the little one. The father said ‘no.’

Lando nearly choked on his own spit.

“Oh, sorry buddy,” Luke said to the baby. “Daddy thinks I’m gonna eat you up.”

“He just got a bath.”

Luke gooey expression hardened in an instant.

“Excuse you. You sayin’ I’m dirty?” he asked. “You sayin’ I smell like horseshit?”

The father stared at Luke wordlessly.

“Pigshit,” he corrected.

“WHAT.”

Lando no longer needed only greens. He had to pick a cheese from this bountiful pile. Oh dear, so many to choose from.

“I said, you smell like pigshit. And he just got a bath,” the survivalist father said. “How much for the tomatoes?”

“Twenty a pound,” Luke said viciously.

“That’s steep.”

“There’s a discount for people who smell like pigshit.”

“You get a lot of those?”

“No, but I know how to wallow in the time between buyers.”

“Are you angry or something?”

“Take your damn tomatoes.”

“I didn’t pay yet—”

“Just take ‘em. Go. Go.”

“Twenty—?”

“Hey, Mr. Calrissian, that’ll be ten-fifty,” Luke said over the protests.

That was then. This is now. And Luke Lars-Skywalker has not let up on his tirade against this survivalist. Nor, it is important to note however, has the survivalist stopped coming to the vegetable stand when Luke is working it.

What is even more is that Lando can see with his own two eyes that the survivalist is not holding his baby at the vegetable stand now, as Lando closes his car door a little ways from the stand. Luke smiles at Lando as he draws near; he is bouncing at the knees. He waves the baby’s hand in greeting and the child gurgles and twists back to grab at his face.

Lando smiles and does not say anything.

He finds Chewie inspecting a sprinkler at the edge of his and Han’s yard on the way back and crosses the street to inspect it with him. It sputters. Chewie suspects outloud that their squirrels are getting stronger and more destructive by the day.

Lando asks him if he’s been the Lars’s vegetable stand since moving into town.

He has.

Lando asks if he’s ever seen Luke there, holding a baby.

He has.

Lando is smug.

“Mr. Rugged Mountain Man is falling for the farm boy,” he tells Chewie.

Chewie lifts a thick eyebrow.

“One day soon, that baby is going to go from living off the grid to living in a barn,” Lando tells him. “Mark my words.”

Chewie tells him that that is impossible without a kidnapping charge because the Rugged Mountain Man is the straightest man that he’s ever seen. Lando tells him not to judge a book by its cover.

Weirder things have happened. Han and Leia, for example.

Chewie tells him that he knows that Lando is somehow responsible for those two’s newly inescapable sexual tension and he will never forgive him for it.

Lando cannot believe his ears. Him? An instigator? Of course not, Chewie. He is but a humble spider, waiting around in his house for a fly to shake things up. He is an observer, nothing more, nothing less.

Chewie just points a finger at him.

Lando points a finger-gun back. He fires it with a click of his tongue.

"i dislike the depiction of breha organa in kenobi because it is utterly devoid of warmth"

can you elaborate on this? i felt something slightly off about this portrayal and i wasn't too sure what it was until i saw your post.

it's the disability erasure.

no, it's the recast that seems to suggest filipino and pasifike ethnicities and identities are interchangeable.

no, it's the way she doesn't realise that the child in the room is not her daughter until she feels a significant biological difference when physically touching her. it's the way she's first introduced hurrying leia along without noticing that leia is, in fact, not leia. the way she pulls leia behind her saying 'i'd miss you' but not showing it. it's the way that when bail is crying she doesn't even have her arm around him. the way she's cool and detached with the daughter she tried so hard for and gave up hope of having until this precious miracle child came to her.

the way her visibly disabled, glowing, golden chest is changed to a nondisabled, conventionally attractive, smooth nothing (i was giving them the benefit of the doubt after the first ep, but in the finale they showed lower down on her chest and no, nothing, no candlewick organ replacements). the way she's cool rather than warm. impatient with her husband and her daughter.

the way she's shown as a contrast to bail's love and understanding and acceptance of their daughter.

she's portrayed as this generic 'lady who gets shit done' with the underlying assumption you can't be a lady who gets shit done and a warm person who loves your family and makes sure they know it. it's incredibly sexist. they made bail the heart and breha the brains, as if a cornerstone of their characters and relationship isn't that they're both BOTH, just like leia!

'is that a holster? i love it' doesn't make up for treating your daughter as just a naughty child when she explicitly told you she feels like she doesn't belong and needs things to change so she can be who she is.

you're telling me the woman who mentors girls in diplomacy doesn't know how to show her own daughter she's loved and appreciated? how to make sure she feels understood?

when i'm not on tumblr, i do a lot of work with what you might call 'troubled kids.' kids who run away. the first question you EVER investigate is 'what were they running from?'

i watched ep1 of kenobi and went 'oh fuck, not breha. they made it breha.'

they took this

and somehow.... got whatever that introduction scene was out of it.

2021 FIC REVIEW!

(there are so many unpublished fics in my docs so I will not count them).

Total number of completed works: 6

Total word count: 12,872!

Fandoms I've written in: Star Wars..... and only Star Wars I'm afraid 💀

Looking Back, Did You Write More Fic Than You Thought You Would This Year, Less, Or About What You’d Expected? More! I write about my ocs more often than anything else so I was very surprised to write so much about canon characters.

What’s Your Own Favorite Story Of The Year? Penance! It's about Cody, Alpha and Boba post Order 66 and I think it's great.

Did You Take Any Writing Risks This Year? I've written more poetry tbh than fics which have been where most of the risks have come. Fic wise uh I struggle making pov changes natural so that's been a good development?

Do You Have Any Fanfic Or Profic Goals For The New Year? I'm always in two minds about writing fanfiction but I think being nicer to myself if I don't finish something or don't write much is my goal.

Most Popular Story Of The Year? Penance! I'm very thankful to anyone whose checked it out and liked it!

Story Of Mine Most Under-Appreciated By The Universe, In My Opinion: All of my horror ish ones..... This place is not a place of honour I think is my least popular fic which makes sense because it's a niche concept with a very minor character but I think it's good. Also Splintered which I posted very recently....

Most Fun Story To Write: BROKEN CIRCLES!!! I love drama and unreliable narrators. It's about Xanatos, Qui-Gon and Dooku and I need to write the next chapter....

Most Unintentionally Telling Story: Cool Water! This is about Shmi and Owen pre Attack Of the Clones!

Biggest Disappointment: I would like my ocs to be more popular tbh! But that does require writing about them in the first place.... Idk I'd like more comments I suppose?

Biggest Surprise: How my writing style has improved and developed? At the beginning of the year I didn't think I had one but I think I do now!

My Favorite Part Of Fandom This Year: My mutuals and only my beloved mutuals.

Tagging: @its-captain-sir @meerlichts @mettatondeltarune @forcesensitivebantha @queen-breha-organa and anyone who wants to!! sorry if I've missed you!

(thank you very much @kuldrenett for tagging me)
