Love that stupid hairbrushing scene where Padme pretends to brush her curly hair. It's so doll-like, but the doll she's playing with is herself. Putting on a performance for her husband, but really acting out a fantasy for herself.

#And then she puts on her lip gloss before going to bed. Just a perfect pretty little wife with no problems #just love and domestic bliss.#it reminds me a tiny bit of that one scene in the marverlous mrs maisel #where midge waits for husband to fall asleep before taking off her make-up and putting her rollers in and then wakes and puts it all back o #before his alarm goes off and she pretends to wake up. all to preserve the illusion. the fantasy.#with padme the vibe is slightly different #because she's not really expected to perform this kind of tradwife shit #but this is her escape from the crushing weight of everything else she cares about going under #padme amidala #alternatively: she sent all her servants home so she could host her secret husband #but has no actual idea what her hair-care routine is #so she's just doing whatever #but i kinda don't entirely vibe with because of the whole handmaid body-double thing #surely she had to be able to act the part
