PadMay is an annual event in celebration of our beloved former queen and senator of Naboo, Padmé Naberrie Amidala. There are thirty one prompts, one for each day in the month of May.

You may answer as many, or as few, as you like and there is no specific format. The prompts are jumping-off points and may be considered in universe or meta. Answers may take the form of essay, discussion, fiction, artwork, bulleted lists, gifsets, vids, vlogs, comics, whatever! Create something new, promote something you’ve previously made, or share a favorite work of someone else’s (with proper credit! Share their post if possible). It is also fine to answer prompts on a different day than that which corresponds with the number (if you miss it, or it is simply easier for you). There is no right or wrong way to participate! The purpose of PadMay is to celebrate Star Wars and Padmé, not create work or drama.

Jadzia Fashion Project Top 10

2. San Francisco 2024 (Past Tense)

Star Trek + Social Justice is one of my OTPs. I love this episode for a lot of reasons but issues aside, it has excellent fashion. I love dystopian future costumes, for example this sweater vest thing Katniss wears in Catching Fire: 

IS MY FAVOURITE. Past Tense similarly plays with drab, utilitarian layers that resemble now (even more so as this episode takes place in 2024, which is, don’t be scared, less than ten years away now). And then there’s Jadzia’s outfit that is AMAZING both within context and without. 

Jadzia’s suit has elements of men’s fashion from the 1890s (think Wyatt Earp) and the 1920s (think Jay Gatsby). This episode aired in 1995 and takes place in 2024. The saloon-slash-speak-easy flair also fits her role as moneyed but unknown. The layers tie her to her crewmates, particularly Sisko (Bell), whose layers have a purpose beyond fashion (to keep warm, to carry belongings). The layers and different complimentary patterns also remind the audience that there are many layers and intricacies to Jadzia’s character, to the crew’s actions, to the plot and the argument. The pop of color on her tie is reflected in Brynner and the others clothes. Both it and the florals on the tunic are within Jadzia’s signature color palette. There is a bit of salesman or carnival barker in this look, and the feather lends comparisons to a peacock or other flashy bird. She’s putting on a show, selling something that is’t real, giving a performance within a performance. It’s all related. 

Outside of its role as a costume, I love me some girly menswear! The hair is a mess and I don’t fully understand the tunic but the overall effect is brilliant.

1. OC is the best of not only all the Laws and Orders but also of all the Wolf Universe series and frankly all crime procedurals everywhere. No contest. 2. Chris Meloni is the best actor in the Law & Order franchise and frankly all of television. No contest. 3. I have been fixated on Elliot Stabler as my comfort character for about six months so the universe hates me I GUESS.

Anyway, #RenewOrganizedCrime, #RenewOC, #RenewLawAndOrderOC, #RenewLawAndOrderOrganizedCrime, make a lot of noise. Do it for me. Please.

This is a perfectly acceptable episode. It’s nothing special but it’s fine. It also has a lot of weird moments that I would like to understand better. One, Anne’s apartment is gorgeous. She’s an artist and she’s decorated a wall with flowers and butterflies and sparkles and beauty. Olivia is impressed (I am impressed). It’s later suggested that Anne should make art out of all her fear. Two, Bruno (Kevin Kane) loses it in interrogation and I love him even more but Liv just brushes it off like it’s fine and like, former IAB Curry (Aimé Donna Kelly) is literally in her squad room right now. And she is under a microscope with Commissioner Pettis (Robert Newman). Three, Olivia calls the squad room her home and I would like to unpack that. Four, Olivia successfully makes the squad room quiet and zen with low light and candles and very few people. Anne compliments Olivia’s office just like Olivia complimented Anne’s apartment, which is nice, but makes me think the wall really is meant to signal something (but what?). And then Anne asks about an item and Olivia says it is a challenge coin and then we move on (context?). Five, Anne IDs the three suspects immediately with no hesitation and at the end of it has an almost giddy sense of accomplishment which is probably supposed to be about her conquering her demons but comes across as a little unhinged, like being a part of this excites her. Finally, six, after he’s beaten Javier has a vision of white light in the shape of a queer man who he’d seen singing in a club earlier (Javi doesn’t recognize it as the same person but I think we are meant to). This angel stayed with him until the police arrived. But Anne says there was no man. Bruno describes this as “Third Man Syndrome”, the mistaken belief that someone is with you in times of crisis. This is also the title of the episode.

All of these put together, again, make me feel like they are building to something else, something more. That there could be more to Anne’s story— why is she so afraid of men? Why does she have that moment of excitement? Maybe she takes Olivia’s advice and makes her a mural of the squad room, that is her home, that they both feel safe in, and it includes the challenge coin. Maybe Bruno and/or Olivia will get in trouble for excessive force because it’s unchecked and there is certainly history at SVU. Or she will snap out of her current I’m a Badass Bitch level of captaining and reign him in but probably not. Will anyone ever mention third man syndrome again? With regards to past, present, or future crisis? Why does any of that sequence exist if not?

But again-again, OG and SVU don’t do clues and build up and arcs and continuity. I feel like I am losing my mind!
