padme's handmaidens are such an underrated concept. i mean, yeah you can call it women supporting women and leave it at that but like. its so much more intense than that. they basically created the persona of queen amidala together. they assigned her specific mannerisms and tone of voice and breathing patterns and all of them studied that well enough to play the role perfectly. they put all of the derangedness teenage girls put into discovering their own identity into perfecting mimicry instead & they did all that knowing that their role will always be to die in padme's place if it comes to that. idk what insane levels of devotion does it take to be like 14 and you've become so intimately familiar with your friend that you can quite literally become her. there's friendship & traumabonding and then theres "my entire life is dedicated to dying for this woman" and then there's that but with added identity fuckery and thats what the handmaidens have going on with the bonus point of being 14

my favorite example of transferable skills in fiction regardless of how realistic it is are people who work with textiles (sewing, tailoring, etc.) being asked to help stitch a wound or perform surgery. oh you can mend a hole in a shirt? mend a hole in this guy then. it's basically the same thing just with more blood and screaming.

Tags from @vigilantecore which say "#personally i like the reverse #guy looking at a hole in his jacket: ive stitched up knife wounds before how hard could this be?"ALT

customer: wow, these stitches are so neat! where did you learn how to do this?

former mafia boss who abandoned the life of crime after realizing one day that he had a talent and passion for sewing: don't worry about it

[id: a tweet and a reply to it, both written by the same person: keegan @/FranziaMom. the original tweet reads: 'bands are always like "big things brewing 👀 (eyes emoji)" and it's always just songs or something. that's not big things, that's what you did last time.'

the reply reads: 'i want a band to tweet "big things coming 👀 (eyes emoji)" and then a series of government buildings inexplicably explode'. end id.]
