I Think What Bothers Me About A Lot Of "girl Power" Narratives Is That They Function On The Implicit

oh, I'm sorry the themes of patience and fidelity weren't hashtag girlboss enough for you.

"How do you write such realistic dialogue-" I TALK TO MYSELF. I TALK TO MYSELF AND I PRETEND I AM THE ONE SAYING THE LINE. LIKE SANITY IS SLOWLY SLIPPING FROM BETWEEN MY FINGERS WITH EVERY MEASLY WORD THEY TYPE OUT. THAT IS HOW.

people saying that harry is oblivious to the feelings of others is wild to me considering the fact that he and hedwig got into tiny couple’s arguments over her mood 

harry.

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark lord knows not... and either but died at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.."

Padmé comes from a beautiful fairytale planet ruled by benevolent queens, a privileged world of luxury and leisure, where the sociopolitical structures designed to keep the peace (apparently) function as they are meant to, at least more or less.

Anakin comes from an ugly barren planet ruled by ruthless gangsters, a harsh world of slavery and violence, where the only rule of law is that of the greedy and powerful over the weak, and there isn’t even the faintest veneer of social nicety to cover this.

Palpatine comes from the same world as Padmé, and outwardly operates by the same rules - gentility, respectability, sophistication. But in reality, he’s much more the sort of ruler Anakin is familiar with - cruel, domineering, power-hungry. He puts the nice face of Naboo on the tyranny of Tatooine.

No wonder Anakin follows him so readily.
