paperdoll picspam/plotbunnies
So I was super depressed, and decided to comfort myself by ... posting a ton of paper dolls, 'cause I like them.
I don't ever really grow bored of the princess dollmaker, so I decided to use that one to make Disney Princess versions of the Pride and Prejudice ladies! According to me!
Princess Jane
Princess Elizabeth
Princess Mary
(Word to the wise: it's very difficult to make someone "plain" in something designed to make Disney princesses.)
Princess Kitty
Princess Lydia
Princess Charlotte
I'm going to assume she's the daughter of a minor prince from ... Lucasia, or something, not any relation to the Bennet!princesses.
Then I found one where I could dolls that actually approximate my mental images of the real characters, c. 1790-something. Though "approximate" means "approximate" here.
Jane Bennet
Elizabeth Bennet
Mary Bennet
Catherine "Kitty" Bennet
I figured this counted as an "irritable" expression.
Lydia Bennet
Yes, Elizabeth and Lydia (and Mary!) have lighter hair than Jane. Because this is my headcanon and not the collective consciousness of Austen fandom. La! (to quote the less than quotable Lydia.)
And speaking of rough approximations:
Catherine Darcy
Lucyverse: Obi-Wan doesn't follow Padmé, Anakin never attacks her, she dies anyway and the girls grow up in Bast Castle:
Lady Lucy
Of all the Lucy dolls, this is probably the one that looks most like Lucy-in-my-head.
Lady Leia
Lucyverse: without any gender preference, which twin goes where is about even odds. It goes the other way.
Leia Skywalker
Princess Lucy
Carrie Fisher is right. That hairdo doesn't look good on anyone.
No-particular-verse: the Skywalkers are all ladies (originally it was just going to be they're-all-genderswapped, but Leia as not-a-girl makes me cry inside)
Luka Skywalker
Princess Leia
Anaiya Skywalker/Lady Vader
ATLA!Star Wars fusion funtiemz! (I used the four elements dolls, which only come in "girl," so it's a femmeslash extravaganza)
ATLA!girl!Obi-Wan, a respected Air Nomad Jedi Master...
who against her own better judgment, ends up training the Avatar--
ATLA!girl!Anakin, a young firebender and slave of the Hutts (a vicious earthbending criminal ring thing). Chosen One = Avatar gone horribly, horribly wrong.
Though born a slave in the Earth Kingdom, her mother came from the Fire Nation and raised her to prize passion and attachment even in their horrific circumstances, and to use them to fuel her firebending. At nine, she was freed, taken to the Western Air Temple, and brought up as an airbender by Obi-Wan. It was difficult enough, and to make matters worse, she became fiercely attached to
ATLA!Padmé, a Water Tribe chieftainess
Eventually they gave into their feelings, married, and ... idk, somehow, ATLA!Padmé become pregnant with twins. After ATLA!Anakin turned to evil and swore herself to the service of the wicked Fire Lord, who with her able assistance proceeded to take over the rest of the world. ATLA!Padmé died giving birth to
ATLA!girl!Luke
Who was brought up on a poor farm in the Earth Kingdom, far from benders of any kind (and pretty far from people of any kind, too). There she met a creepy old hermit lady, none other than Obi-Wan herself, and found a message from
ATLA!Leia
After their escape, they joined up with the rebellion against the Empire of Flames, and ATLA!Luke ended up taking out the Fire Lord's fortress. Buuut, pursued by ATLA!Vader, mistress of all four elements, she'd have been killed if not for the timely interference of a friend she'd nearly given up hope on--
ATLA!girl!Han, an Earth Kingdom pirate
...with no bending abilities whatsoever, just so much badassery that she manages to keep up with them anyway. She's accompanied everywhere she goes by ATLA!Chewbacca, a bearpanther.
They fight crime!

Help, I'm commenting and I can't shut up!
On the one hand, I can kind of see the fannish reaction of "Anakin should not have had a relationship with his children's mother" for... well, precisely what you brought up with the "How is that possible?/ANAKIN YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS ALREADY" business in ESB, because Anakin not knowing about his kids' existence at that point makes more sense if he and their mother weren't overly close back-when. ON THE OTHER HAND--- it has been book-of-the-movie canon since the ROTJ novelization that Luke and Leia's mother was Anakin's "dear wife"--- direct quote from his death scene, so the haters have had time to get used to the idea, and by time I mean "something like twenty years". Granted that Lucas Josses so much of not-his-stuff that the trope should really be named after him, but. The fact that Anakin didn't know could be put down to any number of things, including that he assumed his kids had died with Padme (which I think is supposed to be the retcon, maybe?).
Though it makes even more sense in the Jedi!Padme scenario I was nattering about, except that Padme doesn't tell him about the kids because she's going with the Jedi rule of detachment, Sidious turns him without that knowledge (maybe just a combination of "the Jedi have turned against the Senate they're supposed to be serving" with a side order of... IDK, some kind of implication that if the Jedi Order falls, so will Padme's reasons to objecting to having a relationship with Anakin and it will all be happy goodness? Or possibly Anakin knows about the kids but Sidious convinces him that they might not be his because, hey, the Jedi don't play attachment, hmm, she's awfully chummy with your old master isn't she?) and then of course Padme Does Not Approve and they fight, and then twenty-odd years later O HAI LUKE AND LEIA.
...man, there is so little not to like about Jedi!Padme. Although I like Arissa better, but then I like Revenge better than canon in so many ways anyway.
Re: Help, I'm commenting and I can't shut up!
Not that I'm cynical about fandom, or anything.
Anakin's 'how is this possible?' is pretty lulzy -- like, how can he not know how it is possible to have a child if he was, you know, fathering a child? But on rewatching, it's clear that he does know, because he mentions Luke by name earlier. And it's just as clear that he hasn't chosen to enlighten the Emperor on the subject, so I assumed he's just bluffing.
In light of the prequels, though, it actually makes more sense (lol, not a statement I find myself making very often). Since it was Palpatine who told him that his child died with Padmé, 'how is this possible?' becomes a perfectly reasonable response to Palpatine.
There really is very little not to enjoy about Jedi!Padmé. But thank you about Arissa! I did originally plan on making Padmé basically what Arissa turned out to be, but Padmé-as-not-Leia's-mother wasn't right. I am kind of tempted to do an OT-compliant Revenge AU, though. Hmm.
Re: Help, I'm commenting and I can't shut up!
I am so, so, so happy that I've missed this whole part of the fandom, really I am.
So much *grinning forever* about Anakin's working of Palpatine in ESB, because hello, that is our cunning warrior that we were promised in ANH! Squee!
Oooooh, an OT-compliant Revenge AU! *grabs popcorn*
