Am I an Annabeth apologist? No. "apologist" implies she's done something wrong when Annabeth Chase has never done anything wrong in her life ever
Anakin and Padme Modern AU Headcanons [Does this one have a happier ending?]
The modern AU ends nicer because I want it to. Andbecause there’s no Jedi and no slavery and no Force.
they meet at college
Padme is the political science major from a rich, respected family that’s hoping for a career in politics and is involved in all sorts of activity at the college
Anakin is the engineering major from the bad part of town who only got in through a stipendia and also works a lot to support his mother
they don’t really get each other at first
then Padme organizes a rally against a law that would push down the minimum wage
Anakin, who through his mother has always been very aware of social justice problems, and has seen his mother work at minimum wage joins in
he makes multpile wry suggestions as to how to maybe make it more accesible for people who don’t study at college
Padme is very confused and also a bit pissed about this, because really, it’s supposed to be college rally
Anakin points out that the people who will suffer most if the minimum wage is pushed down are those who couldn’t go to college in the first place
Padme is suitably ashamed of herself, though she does her best not to show it
they end up organizing the rally together
it’s a huge success
Shmi comes, too, and Padme is really, really impressed by this lady who raised her son alone and also seems to have raised half the village she’s from, and also knows a ton about politics
afterwards, Anakin and Padme kinda become the go to duo for social justice rallys and things
Anakin ropes in that professor he’s known forever, Professor Kenobi, quite often
(Padme is never quite sure how Anakin met Professor Kenobi, they tell a different story every time)
Anakin developes a crush on her like, immediately
Padme doesn’t really
she’s convinced that she does not have time for dating
it’s only after like, a year that she realizes that for all intents and purposes, she and Anakin behave like a couple. He even brings her flowers sometimes!
she mentions it the next time they see each other
he just grins and asks if that means he’s allowed to kiss her
and well, that’s that
they have long, passionate discussions of social inequality and such things
Padme is an idealist, Anakin rather cynical
he never quite gets over his distrust in the governmental authorities
not in the conspiracy theorist way, but in the “they don’t care about the poorer people” way
it’s not like he’s that wrong, really
Padme’s family does not approve of Anakin. At all
Shmi likes Padme, though
Luke and Leia are still kinda an accident, born a year after Padme graduated and while Anakin is still in college
they get a shotgun wedding after that
I haven't even watched the show yet but it's posts like these that make me want to watch it more than the flattery ones because I love nothing more than getting angry at a show for getting rid of angry characters
it's so fun how they removed sokka's sexism because it's "problematic" but then took away every aspect of katara that made her who she is and completely flattened her personality in a way that leaves none of the aspects that made her a feminist character and in a way that is only ever done to female characters and by fun i mean im going to kill them
Anakin 1. Is a scholarship student, and is determined to make the faculty regret that decision, by wearing pyjamas to each and every lecture (that he bothers to attend). 2. Never studies for exams, but somehow always aces them. 3. Diet consists entirely of take-out and Red Bull (sometimes protein shakes if he’s feeling healthy). 4. Part of at least three school sports teams and a dedicated gym lad. 5. Watches true crime documentaries until 3 in the morning and then can’t sleep. 6. The only one who can drive. 7. Only drinks the most obnoxiously sugary and neon-coloured alcopops. 8. Volunteers at the local homeless shelter and takes it surprisingly seriously. 9. Applies for extensions after assignments are due because he’s “just really going through it right now”. 10. Hacks into the school computers to change all the backgrounds to Nicholas Cage on April Fool’s Day (and secretly gives all the final year students free printing credit). Padme 1. Has an immaculate stationary collection including a perfect rainbow of pastel highlighters. 2. Always does the extra reading, and sets up study groups to discuss the course and swap notes. 3. Spends her entire allowance on a pair of Gucci shoes and lives on ramen for the rest of the month. 4. Sorority sister who knows almost everyone on campus, and somehow remembers everyone’s birthday, including the cleaners. 5. Has about eight photos on her Instagram with her posing on a staircase with a glass of prosecco. 6. Hosts a weekly Stitch-And-Bitch where students can come and have some snacks and tea and talk about how they’re feeling whilst knitting; Obi-Wan is a big fan. 7. Student Council representative who goes to every meeting with a binder full of collected grievances. 8. Has a study blog where she shares her technique for getting perfect grades, and her impeccable skincare routine. 9. Plans political protests with Bail and Satine in her spare time. 10. Gets pregnant at the end of her final year but keeps going and brings her newborn twins to graduation to hear her valedictorian speech. Obi-Wan 1. Incredibly frazzled postgraduate; has like 3 jobs + teaching assistant duties + his course work. 2. Dresses like a professor even though he’s still a student – tweed jacket with elbow patches, leather satchel and shoes, sweater vests in every colour of the rainbow. 3. Drinks “tea” but half of the time it’s just whiskey in a travel mug (the other half is when Qui-Gon buys him some fancy brew from the campus café). 4. Somehow always has perfect hair. 5. Spends hours in the library but never seems to find what he’s looking for. 6. Submits his assignments five minutes before they’re due because he was up all night proof-reading someone else’s. 7. Is a vegetarian for “ethical reasons” (aka because of Satine and Qui-Gon) but ends up stress eating chicken nuggets with Anakin biweekly. 8. Is in the club at 3am and the student council meeting at 8am, looking none the worse for wear. 9. Walks around in a blanket/dressing gown during finals week, mumbling to himself and reading flashcards. 10. Halfway through term you realise he’s been doing a double major this entire time. Ahsoka 1. Only wears gym clothes, even in the dead of winter. 2. Makes notes in gel pen then gets annoyed when they smudge. 3. Will argue with the obnoxious smart kid for half the class. 4. Has the coolest collection of colourful hijabs and wears them with pride. 5. Owns fifteen water bottles but keeps losing them. 6. Gets tattoos because she’s bored but the work always looks super beautiful. 7. Works part time as a barista so knows everyone’s coffee order but no-one’s name. 8. Kisses her girlfriend in front of homophobic professors. 9. Makes box brownies whenever her friends are sad and brings them to study sessions in the little flimsy cardboard box. 10. Is best friends with the campus cat and takes photos with it every time she sees it. Qui-Gon 1. The Dad Professor who everyone comes to when they’re worried. 2. Incredible teacher but his academic papers are just… incomprehensible. 3. Takes students outside for classes that turn into walking tours of the campus where he points out all the foliage and local features. 4. Doesn’t reply to emails because it’s “bad for the environment” so will just appear behind you with answers to your question. 5. Accent will send you to sleep if you have an early/late lecture. 6. Has eighteen pot plants all over his office and sometimes carries a little cactus in his pocket. 7. Office is up four flights of stairs and at the very end of the corridor because he “likes the view” (i.e. the rest of the department are sick of his shit and need the space). 8. Owns the campus cat and it comes with him to and from home by curling up in the little basket on the front of his bicycle. 9. Has about fifteen boxes of tea just around his office and a biscuit tin that’s always full. 10. Is the local weed dealer on the dl.
Me: *likes a musical or period drama*
Everyone: But aren’t you mad that it’s not historically accurate?!
Me, just trying to enjoy things:
I feel like pirating media that isn’t sold or offered anywhere legally anymore shouldn’t be called piracy. Girl thats archaeology
