arranged marriage au where, to help stabilize a freed tatooine in the galactic scale, anakin agrees to marry a well off republic senator. padmé amidala is the senator in question, highly regarded both in the senate and on her own planet.
so anakin cleans up his little home and is ready to try to swallow his pride at whatever this republic senator is gonna say about his living conditions when they come to pick him up. he wants to start off on a good foot; this is going to be his spouse for the upcoming future, and he wants to like them. anakin wants to maybe fall in love, as impossible as it seems. he’s immediately struck by padmé’s beauty, but his eyes stray to the person standing protectively by her. his spouse to be already had a lover before being strong armed into this marriage, then.
anakin tries to make the best of this new information; he wanted to try to woo his new spouse, divorce not possible in the near future, but now…padmé introduces herself and the man next to her as jedi master, obi-wan kenobi. she happily accepts anakin’s courtship dinner and obi-wan eats it, too. anakin feels his heart pound happily at that fact. maybe he does have a chance in this marriage, after all. maybe he could be their third.
the agreed upon week on tatooine before anakin has to leave for padmé’s home goes so much better than anakin had hoped it would. padmé wants to make this work, too. she happily learns about anakin’s marriage customs, how anakin wants to make his own dress and braid his hair in the style his mother taught him as a child. anakin happily soaks up learning about padmé’s, how a veil is the most important part of the wedding outfit and the spouse to be is supposed to help dress the bride.
obi-wan shares no wedding customs, which anakin thinks is weird. he voices such as it halfway through the week, and obi-wan is shocked. he’s not getting married to anakin? he’s just here as padmé’s bodyguard; tatooine is still fresh from revolution. obi-wan is a jedi; attachment is forbidden. anakin argues; obi-wan’s been eating all the courtship food anakin’s been making, he’s leaned into anakin’s touch, he’s so free touching and kissing padmé’s cheeks. he’s dealt with shmi’s fussing. also, how the kriff is obi-wan not allowed attachment?
padmé feels momentarily terrible about the situation, but then immediately decides to team up with anakin to woo obi-wan. the jedi can suck it up; a three way marriage would strengthen anakin’s planet even more. surely the council can forgive obi-wan for being so compassionate to a freed planet’s plight?

Hey so fun fact, my dad is good friends the woman who currently has this job and she told him that Trump’s admin is trying to force her out. They started advertising the job before they actually told her they were transferring her so she’d have to reapply.
Her name is Catherine (Cassie) Conley, and she’s a badass MIT grad that works as NASA’s planetary protection officer, which sounds super cool (though she says not as cool as the galactic administrator). The job is basically the only one in xenobiology (space life) and it’s her life’s work. She’s been doing this job for over 10 years and now Trump wants her out.
I’m beyond pissed that this keeps going around. I know it sounds like a joke job, but it’s a legitimate career that’s being taken away from literally one of the most intelligent women in the country by this asscactus of a presidency.
If ya’ll could signal boost this that’d be much appreciated. They need to know that this kind of bullshit isn’t acceptable
I was actually reading about this job in an NPR article and it sounds REALLY important. the job basically means you make sure we don’t contaminate any planets and anything we bring back like rocks or soil, etc doesn’t do the same here.

Theseus: No. If you hurt Newt, he's perfectly capable of killing you himself. Possibly with a variety of beasts
