One of the biggest arguments I’ve seen used by the Ob*d*l*s against Anidala, is that scene in the ROTS novel where Padmé says she could trust OW with the secret of the rebellion and was hesitant to tell Anakin and I just wanna say:

Padmé wasn't an idiot. She was an extremely intelligent and competent woman, perfectly able to understand that loving Anakin and thinking that he could be trusted with a certain politic-related matter were two very different things and reducing her choice regarding who to trust with an important political matter only on the basis of her feelings of romantic love diminishes her professionalism, and this is why I say y'all could never understand her.

Padmé didn’t have to "love" OW or even like him at all to know he was the perfect Jedi to ask for help in a secret political matter.

That's the point being made in the novel, she’s hit with the realization that Anakin in this particular moment could not be told this piece of info because of his relationship with Palpatine, and Padmé specifically mentions in the Junior ROTS novel that she didn't want to make Anakin “keep a secret” if he didn’t agree with their stance because it’d be “unfair.” So this also played a part in why Padmé didn’t think it best to inform Anakin about the Rebellion. It honestly had little to do with her actually lacking trust in him, and more to do with the circumstances she was in not allowing her to be open with her husband and her not wanting to make him choose between his wife and his “father figure.”

However, Padmé knows OW’s political ideas aren't tied to ONE particular person but to a philosophy, one which is closer to her own, at that point. None of this was ever meant to be hinted as “romantic” or even remotely insinuated as romantic. It’s strictly professional and even the tone of the scene makes that so abundantly clear.

All I’m saying is that, some of these proshippers are doing the most out here to try and prove their ship, like my loves? You forgot a very important thing called ✨ context ✨ and regardless of her rational thinking, Padmé still went out of her way to try and talk out all of this Rebellion secrecy stuff with Anakin when she confronted him in the scene where she asks if he ever thought they were “fighting on the wrong side.” Padmé didn’t trust OW in the same way she trusted Anakin (with her entire self and being) she had the level of trust and love for Anakin that was only meant for him.

Mixing up her unwavering faith in Anakin as her husband with her trust in OW’s devotion to duty as her comrade/ally is purposely deluding yourself, because the two aren’t the same and therefore can’t be compared. An example of this is: Padmé constantly putting more value to Anakin’s words over OW’s in the end of ROTS when he came to tell her of Anakin’s “crimes”. She completely disregarded what OW had claimed about her husband and instead made her way to where Anakin was herself, to ask him directly. Despite what the truth was, this is proof of her trusting Anakin unconditionally, and I didn’t even think I had to spell that out because it’s as clear as day.

In conclusion, Padmé didn’t trust OW more than Anakin, she just knew the circumstances she was in didn’t exactly make it easy for her to openly talk with her husband about these matters and that’s part of what played into the issues they had in ROTS, it’s exactly what Sidious wanted. This scene in the novel doesn’t exist to imply some hidden romantic undertone that George was intending all along. No, far from that. George was always an “open, , clear and easy to understand” type of storyteller, so if the former was the case, this scene wouldn’t be any different if there was some hidden message or subtext the reader should be made aware of, George would make it obvious. Fact of the matter is, the one and only reason for this scene in the novel to exist is only to show to us as the “reader” that the narrative is tearing apart the Star-Crossed-lovers (Anakin and Padmé.) and visibly putting the two of them on different sides in the story because the consequences of this narrative choice is what will foreshadow and play into the inevitable and great fall of the couple and character in the future. Even the novel makes a very purposeful and clear distinction between “love and trust” in this chapter where all this occurs. Padmé loves Anakin, but knew she had to trust OW with the situation at hand. And if you want to talk “narratively” Padmé needed a reason to keep the Rebellion a secret from Anakin, thus leading to Palpatine to sense “betrayal” in Padmé later on, and using that to his advantage to manipulate Anakin even more into getting him to “suspect” her. It’s all spelt out for us and it’s not hard to miss. All it takes is a little media literacy and understanding context.

(Mind you, hypothetically, if this scene existed for literally any other reason, it would’ve been brought up again, but it wasn’t. It’s only mentioned once and exists for only one moment which was meant to serve a certain narrative and then it was done. There’s not much to make of it since the context of the scene is so clear.)

THE. THIS THANG.... 💥

7) What is an aspect of their appearance that you like the most?

honestly ithink i gotta give this to the eyes aswell.. i Do have a Red Eyes bias but theres smthn else i dont really know how to pinpoint. idk how well i Execute it in practice but she very much does just have a Look to her ithink. also the glasses are really fun.. im like. pretty sure i just kinda made her lenses pink for funsies (bc i didnt like any of the clear-glass tones i was trying when solidifying her palette,) but then i remembered th. rose-tinted glasses. insufferable. (<- likes her very much)

11) Is there any existing character from other media that your character resembles? Was the resemblance intentional or was it a coincidence?

well . idk about designwise, but in terms of vibe and or energy she sure does . have Three Other Roses on her list Entirely Unintentionally JHSBFJDHBG;; those being lalonde, quartz, and wonderedlab.. how much these Actually apply is up in the air due to my variable understanding of Character but i sure have had several moments of having to stop and rewrite some notes bc Ah Fuck Not Again. cathy is on that list too ithink, which is. also. really funny, Considering . (also worth noting some of these may have been from before she started showing key parts of her personality so it goes double there ithink, i shrimply think its funny its happened Thrice <33)

also coincidental, but th one i come back to most is actually shinobu demonsslayer. on account of the 'small and honestly kind of negligible and Deeply Deeply Resentful of it' and the 'very intentional with their presentation despite (or honestly because of) the constant silent spite running their every action' and the 'theyre literally nice but given the opportunity They Will Make This Hurt As Much As Fucking Possible For Everyone Involved'. also theyre both ourple ^w^

19) What is your general favourite thing about the character? What is your least favourite?

honestly.. i really like her intensity. she feels things very strongly (despite thinking and/or willing herself not to,) and shes very very prone to making sudden snap decisions based on impulse desires. and then convincing herself thats not what shes doing. for a character thats so intent on introspection in the way she is you really wouldnt think shed do it so often, And Yet .

This Also Happens To Be My Least Favorite Thing About Her <3 in a kinda jokey way, but also she is Deeply hypocritical in a way that makes her really difficult to understand, which is a problem when Youre The One Writing Her JHSBHDBJG;; like i know she does something. but i wont know Why. just that she Does, and somehow she thinks this is a good idea because..... ?????? ok girl.

shes also impossible to talk about without having to spend like 15 minutes silently sitting there with my head in my hands so i guess thats a bit of a hurdle too maybe,

i have to wonder what super hardcore militant vegans think should be done about obligate carnivore animals, because in all my painfully-rapidly-approaching-30-years i've literally never actually seen anyone give a clear consistent much less halfway feasible answer on that

breakups are so fucking weird. three years and just like that it's gone. huh

"Rodimus is a better Prime because it didn't hurt for him to bond with the Matrix while for Optimus it did" headcanon/theory my beloathed.

One day I'm literally gonna snap and make a whole post addressing why what's wrong bc I'm tired of the inaccuracy and tired of ppl not understanding the Point TM of IDW and its version of the Matrix/Primacy and even more tired of people putting down Optimus in favor of Rodimus by essentially arguing that being unworthy means you deserve to be punished/put in pain bc you just weren't good enough to hold the Symbol of Ultimate Authority

part of the reason i love meng yao so much is that he was never given an easy decision in his entire life and no matter what he chose to do it always ended up being the wrong one in the long term.
