She was her favorite

For this night, attending an inconsequential event, Padmé posed as one of her handmaidens to enjoy it with Sabé.

[COMMISSIONS] - [PRINTS]

Yapping about sabédala in my au, and line below vvv

The lyrics are pulled from this Kompromat song <3 (if you've never seen the music video... you should fjjfk It's Rebeka warrior and Adèle Haenel getting married with neon lights what's not to love)

Since they where 15/16, they followed an affection pattern that blurred the lines between friendship and love, without ever verbalizing it. A desperate need for real human connection on one side, and a never ending adoration on the other. They are their first lover, and their relationship lasted up until Padmé saw Anakin again. It wasn't a constant thing, sometimes Padme would pull back for days or months, finding another man or woman, sometimes for no particular reasons, but always coming back to her. But after Anakin entered Padmé's life for good, Sabé felt it was different. She knew she lost her queen when she stopped looking at her.

They never needed to verbalize anything for so long, Padme never said anything. She just unconsciously pulled away little by little, leaving Sabé behind.

Padme fell for Anakin, because with her she could drop the Queen/Senator Amidala act, let herself be less than perfect, a real person.

For Sabé the sky got overcast, the sun is still here but she can't feel her warmth. Not in the way she used to

To sum it up : Anakin homewreckerrrrrr (unknowingly but still)

This kinda has some giallo vibes- ig it's appropriate since Naboo in sw2 was filmed in Italy

PS : would you fuck your clone ? Padmé and Sabé answer "yes of course, who else would know me better ?" in unison

Also guess who's who ;) if I did my job correctly it should be somewhat obvious which one's Padmé and which one's Sabé

Commander Fox is very good at lying. He has to be, to be able to get away with breaking the law and going against orders as often as he does. The unfortunate reality is that nearly all of his brothers are awful at lying. He does his best to teach them, they need to be able to do it well to get away with stealing money from senators to fund Fox’s war on organized crime after all.

Fox enlists the help of Padme’s handmaidens after repeated failures. The women are baffled by how bad Fox’s brothers are when he is so good at it. It becomes so frustrating for them they promise to help Fox with whatever scam or con he wants to pull for the rest of eternity as long as he doesn’t put them through that again.

The one exception is Havoc, who is actually very good at lying. The problem with Havic, however, is that they simply choose not to. Havoc knows how to lie bc they were trained as a medic and needed a good bedside manner, but is not allowed to help in the med bay because they like the sharp tools a little too much. Fox tried to cheer Havoc up by giving them a knife and it worked a little too well.

…do you ever think Padme’s girlies™ ever talked shit about Anakin behind his & padme’s backs?

Like they’re all supportive and stuff when the happy couple is nearby, but the moment they leave they’re just like “oh FORCE that guy is annoying”

Like I don’t think any of them hate Anakin, but sabé WILL mock how awkward his flirting is, y’know?

Happy fix-it AU where Padme leaves Anakin anyway because she realizes how bad he is for her, and she ends up retiring because she REALLY doesn't want to be a Senator anymore (it was also maybe encouraged by her Queen after her secret marriage to a Jedi was discovered) and she goes back to Naboo to be with her family. She's left behind her responsibilities but she doesn't know what to do now, she's just... adrift, sort-of in limbo and mourning her relationship with Anakin. She has to keep convincing herself not to go back to him because she KNOWS she doesn't want that anymore, she KNOWS she doesn't want to be the person she was with him again, but the thrill of the secret marriage to someone who was so passionate about being with her is also sort-of like a drug.

Her parents both offer to let her come help them in their respective jobs, but she doesn't really have the energy for that right now. She DOES like helping Sola with her nieces because their energy and innocence seems to be a balm for her heart. One day, Sola asks if Padme can take the kids to a local festival in Theed one day while she and her husband go do something else, and Padme agrees. The girls are old enough and Theed is safe enough that they can wander off on their own away from Padme as long as they know not to go TOO far and come back to her after a little while. As she peruses the different artwork on her own, one artist's work stands to her more than anyone else's, it just hits at the core of her and she's not even sure why. She stands in front of a painting of a bird in flight for what seems like hours, though it can't be more than a minute or two, before the artist himself comes over to speak to her.

He addresses her as Senator Amidala, and she quickly tells him that she's not a Senator anymore and she doesn't really want to go by the name Amidala either, she prefers just Padme these days. He agrees, and something about him, maybe his eyes, seems familiar but she can't quite put her finger on it. They talk about his art for a while and everything he says about his inspiration feels like it's speaking directly to her. Eventually, Pooja and Ryoo come up to her and start pulling at her hands, demanding that she come see something with them. Before she leaves, she finally realizes she didn't even know his name and asks him.

It's Palo. The first boy she'd ever loved. The last time she'd seen him she'd been twelve in the Legislative Youth Program. She knew he'd left politics to become an artist instead, but she'd never actually seen any of his art before or ever tried to get back in contact with him. Now she wishes she had. Pooja and Ryoo are still pulling her away so she doesn't have time to really get over her shock at this revelation before she has to leave him behind and someone else comes up to ask him a question in her place.

He shows up at her parents' door the next day with the painting of the bird she'd so adored, and offers it to her as a gift. He refuses to accept any payment for it no matter how much she insists, but asks if she'd be willing to take a walk with him instead. She agrees. They end up spending the whole day together, just talking. For the first time, Padme doesn't feel like she's drowning in her own feelings or floating with no direction. She feels a lot like she's finally come home.

@crossover15 kofi requested the twins meeting Padmé's handmaidens!! (sequel to this)

(kofi requests are open!)

[the-sera]

If Sabé played by Keira Knightley joined the regular cast of Andor. Give me that gay heartbroken vengeful lady. Give me that "He" and we all know who she is talking about. Give me that "Her" and we all know who she is talking about. I would be so hype. I pray for it, I cast my wish upon a fucking star, it would be so good.

Queen Padmé Amidala and her handmaidens getting ready for the Peace celebration at the end of The Phantom Menace. This piece was among the many sketches I started this year but didn't have a chance to post until now!
