anghraineSo 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!

Re: I expect this will be a long reply

You're right: the resistance almost comes from the lack of handling in canon; any handling ends up being resistant on the one hand, but on the other, the lack of its being handled also makes it a necessary part of the conversation that the fic his having with the source.
And YEAH on Vaderkin's denial--- in either iteration of self, he just buries things until they're too much to be buried.
And oh, I'm glad I made you laugh--- but it's so true, because while I respect what Lucas did in terms of making movies a visual medium, the plots and people of the PT in particular would have benefitted from a bit more in the way of a script.
...you know, there is practically a perfect correlation between "fic I love" and "fic the author considers wish-fulfillment". Really, practically every time I see labels like "idfic" or "self-indulgence" or "wish-fulfillment" on a fic, it generally ends up taking me to my happy place right along with the author. So bring on the wish-fulfillment!
