i was going to write a longer, involved thoughtful post about shipping and social justice and writing fanfic and the intersection of all of these things etc in meditative pondering about how i strive to be thoughtful in certain ways,

and then i realized i can really just summarize a lot down, so:

how do i ship anakin/padme?

well the chapter in my pet fanfic where anakin/vader and padme begin their reconciliation is going to be titled "the wife of bath's tale"
