Chapter Text
Things running through my head as I write Padmè Amidala: July 12, 2025
- she is desperately in love with anakin skywalker. in an eternal state of longing
- really despises the war
- really desires a family
- does not want to be senator anymore, but feels obligated to serve the people of naboo out of a sense of duty
- compartmentalises like no one else
- thinks the republic is falling apart and her job is hopeless
- excited to meet her child! but also being pregnant is just kind of her state of being, it does not consume her
- deeply lonely. refuses to openly acknowledge it.
- yearns for her husband’s embrace
- would fist-fight the jedi over anakin. would never trust the jedi with her child, although she respects them, to some degree.
padme wants to disappear with her husband into naboo and live as a normal family without the world weighing them down. anyway.
yearning whilst married because you are a war wife. but no one knows. pregnant. but it is a secret. the republic is doomed. but no one listens to you
you are padmè amidala in the twilight of the republic
my padmè fic. she yearns for a happier life.

padmé: hates the war both on political and personal level. wants to kidnap anakin and run away to naboo. wants to fight everyone who has ever looked at anakin funny. probably wants to set hundreds of corrupt senators on fire, but doesn’t, because that’s not democratic.
she’s so repressed
“- and the Jedi are just all war-mongering power-hungry faux monks, after all. Take Skywalker, for instance -”
“I’m sorry?” Senator Amidala says, her voice ice. “Did I mishear you? Are you calling Anakin Skywalker, the boy who saved my planet with no expectation of anything in return, who puts his life on the line again and again for the Republic, a ‘war-mongering power-hungry faux monk’? I should tell him that one: he’ll laugh, and still save your pathetic life anyway, because he is a good man. You are not.”
Inside, Padme has frozen over, trembling with rage. How dare he. She wants to rip his face off for daring to talk ill of her husband, but for now, she will settle for killing him politically.
The Senator pales, drastically. “Senator Amidala - I didn’t mean any offence -”
“Didn’t you?” Senator Amidala cuts in, still cool. “Don’t you dare say things like that again, or I’ll put you out onto a ship to the war, and you can see how you like fighting for your life.”
