#star wars: wild space

To this very day, even as a joke! I just find the “Anakin was bad at sex” headcanon so lame and completely untrue 😭 Padmé wasn’t craving after him 24/7 for no reason at all. And the fact that some people actually buy it is just a disservice to Anakin’s completely romantic persona and his most defining trait to prioritize others before himself. Why would he fall short during intimacy for the woman he loves most? Be fr, please!

“She felt her body turn liquid with heat, tasted wine and danger and sweet, sweet safety.”

Yeah, she’s totally not affected by him just kissing her.

“his hands roaming her body now, setting her on fire whenever he touched” …

“His scorching lips were a blessing and a torment”

Hmm, doesn’t seem like she’s getting riled up by his touch at all. Yup. No way.

“She could feel what it cost him to pull back from the brink, and knew he felt the price she paid for not surrendering.”

Nah, she’s completely unfazed by him, pfft. It totally didn’t take anything for her to pull back from his tempting hands.

“Fervently hoping the blush had faded from her cheeks”

Still blushing after the whole ordeal that went down between her and her husband?? Yeah, that’s not the sign of a horny woman in love. Y’all are crazy.

“Her lips were tingling, and where Anakin’s desperate fingers had branded her, she burned.”

Still thinking about his touch and kiss after quite some time has already passed and seeks distraction through her colleagues from her horny thoughts of her husband? She doesn’t want him at all. Can’t you see?

“Squealing with laughter, she let him tumble her to the sheets, mock-protesting as his embrace crushed the fragrant fruit against her skin.”

Sounds like she hates it when she’s getting intimate with him, just look at the sounds of her squealing laughter, and letting him tumble her to the sheets. Poor Padmé, Anakin doesn’t seem passionate at all.

“Eyes sparkling, cheeks flushed, hair riotously tousled around her slender shoulders.”

Yeah. Eyes sparkling, cheeks all flushed, and hair tousled is no indication of an afterglow, she’s just bored out of her mind cause Anakin sucks at sex, it’s so obvious.

“And she wished for me to relate to you that she believes the both of you might… avoid a public scene… all afternoon. And perhaps all night, as well.”

Hmm, now why would Padmé want to clear her schedule all afternoon and all night to spend with Anakin? She probably just wants to play checkers.

“But the look in her eye gave all the context he needed” …

“You’re the pilot. Think you can find us somewhere private?”

I don’t even have sarcasm for this one….

But yeah, Anakin probably sucked at sex.

This image of Bail carrying Obi-Wan on his shoulders is from the Bail Organa/Obi-Wan Kenobi Clone Wars era adventure book Wild Space by Karen Miller. Years ago I read the entire book purely based on this image. I will have you know, this never happens in the book. You can see the image on the Wookie article for the Sith planet Zigoola but the image is blatant false advertising. I ended up liking the book anyway, but what you see in the picture does not happen.

You’re so right on how the fandom mostly pair these two characters together, just to make fun of Anakin. It’s like the antis don’t actually see these characters for who they are but mostly use them as their cookie cutters to benefit a narrative that they want but know doesn’t exist. It’s truly pathetic.

Also, the “Padmé and OWK besties” narrative was never real, because they only ever talked if it was about politics, mission-related, or about Anakin. A more appropriate description of them is that they’re two colleagues who share a mutual understanding because they love/care for the same man.

Padmé really only started “caring” for OW because of Anakin too like we see here in this excerpt from Wild Space

Palps tells Padmé that OW is hospitalized and her first thoughts aren’t even for OW, they’re of her worrying for Anakin because she knows OW means a lot to him.

We also have Padmé admitting as well that she wouldn’t exactly call herself and OW friends in the same novel:

To top it off, Padmé says the ONE thing her and OW can agree on despite their enormous differences and clashing mindsets, is loving Anakin.

They were very far from “besties.”

your tags on my post about the jedi not being anakin’s family were really good, specifically on how obi-wan would probably not be happy about anakin leaving the order to raise a family with padmé— that’s a point i never see anyone bring up. everyone acts like he would just be like a fun uncle or something when realistically i agree him and anakin would have a massive falling out over it. i could see him getting really self-righteous over the fact that anidala wouldn’t want the twins near the order too. maybe they’d all make up eventually but imo it would take alot of work because the relationship would have to be rebuilt from the ground up. sorry for the long message but you have good sw takes!

yeah, i never liked padme & obiwan besties narrative either. especially when in fandom it's all just comes down to using those characters to make fun of anakin. way more interesting is viewing obiwan vs padme as two idealogically opposing parties representing and fighting for two different futures before anakin (but here comes palpatine with a steel chair). obiwan represents jedi order; palpatine represents republic; padme ahead of her time represents new republic. anyway, choosing between emotional deadbeat and the best girl in the galaxy was understandably no brainer for anakin.

happy valentines day

[brazen-kenobi]

It was so unlike Obi-Wan to be incoherent. It was his articulate self-possession in the face of danger that so impressed her. Even though [Padme] hadn’t entirely forgiven him for his interference in her life, she felt a surge of pity.

For all our differences, she thought, We have this one thing in common. We both love Anakin and we always will.

Thrawn or ezra ooooor (hear me out) thrawn AND ezra! Love your art btw!

I- I swear this was supposed to be a sketch I swear-

One of my fav things about star wars is that's its so fucking huge that u physically cannot know all of it so u just kinda like pick a section amd become obsessed. Like me with the Chiss. Like i have seen only one other fandom come even close to this amd that's Marvel. I have no idea y. And we all still bond over the skywalker saga (not the ones that shan't be spoken). And its like we all know a bit of each other sections. Like clone fans know a bit about ahsoka. Ahsoka fans know a bit about the Rebels fans. Rebels fans know about Thrawn. Thrawn fans know some deep shit about Padmes handmaiden and wild space yokels. And it pretty much goes on forever and i find that very cool.

cody: ...what did i say about your cold hands?

obi-wan: ‘they’re a weapon in the wrong hands.’

cody: then why are they still on me?

obi-wan: they're cold.

cody: you could've joined skywalker.

[ pan to anakin under a pile of 501st clones. ]

obiwan:

obi-wan: i much prefer your company.

[anakin-mrforce-skywalker]

75?! What a fucking show off lmfao 💀

Also like “don’t EVER make Obi-Wan wait!” Like okay dude chill! 😭

So I was going to ask which (adult) member of the Batch people think can twerk, but then my brain without hesitation responded “Echo”.

Friendly reminder that Anakin and Padmé playfully race each other and shower together 😏

confession.... i never liked the idea of ezra and thrawn being anywhere close to amicable in canon.

NOTE: IF YOU LIKE THE FANON VERSION, GOOD FOR YOU! I LIKE IT TOO! IM NOT HATING ON YOU! Also this is not about Thrawn, this is about Ezra's thought process. This is about mainly some people saying that "oh why didn't Ezra stay with Thrawn" (Star Wars tiktok and twitter is a weird place with many rabbit holes)

Point one: Ezra is still pretty hot headed, he's not crashing out with a sith holocron but even in S1 he easily got angry. He's just been separated from his family, his planet, and is stuck alone surrounded by his enemies. I do honestly think that he absolutely thought he was supposed to die like Kanan there, or thought he'd be able to hitch a ride back with the purrgil (Peridea is like idk man both an elephant graveyard and their home??? Im done w star wars lore)

Point two: He does not like Thrawn. He's away from his family, and stuck with the man who helped oppress his planet, stole Hera's kalikori, facilitated the torture of Hera and to him, is a big reason that Kanan is dead. He absolutely was not about to go on Wild Space adventures with Thrawn.

Point three: Even if Thrawn made contact with the Chiss, I don't think Ezra would have gone with them at all. Ezra is really narrow minded and thinks in black and white when he's stressed, (and he's also like fucking 17) he probably reasons that if he goes, he's going to get tortured. Even if Eli showed up, Ezra still wouldn't go. Ezra perceives all Imperials as evil (which is a fair mindset, they supported and engaged in fascism). And Ezra is not trusting some random human.

Do I think the Ahsoka show was the pinnacle of Star Wars? No. Do I think it was a good show? Also kinda no. But it's the most logical course of action of how Ezra and Thrawn would have played out (not really Thrawn but more Ezra running away from Thrawn.)

Anyways I love Ezra Bridger and I get annoyed when people misunderstand how he thinks and works :3

A summarization of my "Singer Eli" AU for y'all!

[tarisilmarwen]

Big fan of the increasingly panicky WTF expressions on Thrawn's face in the climax of the finale.

This is a man whose bad week just got infinitely worse lol.
