Angelica, Eliza, AND Peggy. The Schuyler sisters.

I’m waffling on whether or not I’m happy with these. They may be done… or they may be scrapped and re-done! Oh well, either way I’ll be drawing more Ham.

an entertaining thing to do would be to replace every instance of “for ritual purposes” in any archeology article with “for funsies”

#experts think stone henge was probably built for funsies

i love girls who are "high maintenance" like yes please continue to have standards for how you treat urself and expect to be treated

aesthetics > dragons

 Why Hamilton Matters, by Jeremy McCarter

i like to think that leia had an idea of what padmé was like because when she was growing up on alderaan, bail would tell her stories of senate meetings, and how she’d been queen of a planet at only fourteen, and how she listened to her people, and how she stood for democracy, even though during wartime her views were controversial and often made her a target. and so leia knows that padmé is beautiful (and kind but sad) but she also knows of her fierce determination, her spirit, her heart… the way she saw the good in people. and i like to think that, down the road, sometime after rotj, leia tells luke these stories. and how he reminds her of those stories because he’s got her heart, and her fire, and her total inherent goodness.

Han is all “there’s to much Vader in him,” without mentioning that there is too much Vader in Leia too. 

Like, Bail Organa, bless his poor poor soul, tried to politician the Vader out of her. He tried SO FUCKING HARD. 

But the fact that she abandoned politics to be a General in the Resistance says a lot about her similarities to Anakin Skywalker. 

See, people get it wrong. They assume because Luke got the blond hair and the lightsaber that he is Anakin’s child. He’s not. He’s Padme’s.

Leia, though. Leia is very much Anakin’s child. She is the one with the deep anger in her. She is the one who will bring peace to her new empire freedom and justice back to the galaxy whether the galaxy wants it or not. She is the one who commands armies and amasses followers as easy as breathing. She joined the Rebellion while she was in her teens. She is the one with the spirit of a warrior.

Don’t get me wrong; Bail Organa did his damnedest to raise her in the mold of her mother, fighting her battles in the halls of power with words as her weapons. And she was very good at it. But unlike Padme, Leia’s words always had an edge to them, her tone and meaning always a little too sharp, a little too angry. 

Peace and mercy are the trademarks of Luke and Padme. Justice and order, obtained by whatever means necessary, are the marks of Leia and Anakin.

#you just know if she had a lightsaber on the death star she would have pulled a tusken massacre on the bridge #tarkin vader the techs everyone #dead as soon as she could reach them

And she wouldn’t have been wrong to do it! Which is what is so painful about Anakin’s story for me - Anakin has always had the rage of the powerless against the powerful, victim against agressor. And Palpatine twisted that into a weapon against the very people it should have defended.

Leia is the best of Anakin - the boundless rage at power’s abuses, the reckless defiance in the face of injustice, the conviction that things can and must change.
