"We'll teach just those whose ancestry's purest."
SALAZAR SLYTHERIN was a pure-blood wizard, noted for his cunning and determination, and was one of the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He was regarded as one of the greatest wizards of the age for his abilities as a Parselmouth and as a skilled Legilimens. He selected his students according to their cunning, ambition, determination and blood purity. As a professor, he was in favour of teaching the Dark Arts, and also taught the Unforgivable Curses, such as the Imperius Curse, which were not illegal at the time.

sorry what was that i was thinking about harry potter
Will never not be funny to me how Padmé purposefully exaggerated her attraction to Palo to tease Anakin and make him jealous 🤣
Now why would Padmé, Senator Amidala who’s only focused on her duty, want to make her “strictly professional” friend jealous by milking out her old crush’s looks? 😏

god, your best warrior needs money
The only darkness I shall allow into my life, is the night
For even then, I have the Moon.
Padmé comes from a beautiful fairytale planet ruled by benevolent queens, a privileged world of luxury and leisure, where the sociopolitical structures designed to keep the peace (apparently) function as they are meant to, at least more or less.
Anakin comes from an ugly barren planet ruled by ruthless gangsters, a harsh world of slavery and violence, where the only rule of law is that of the greedy and powerful over the weak, and there isn’t even the faintest veneer of social nicety to cover this.
Palpatine comes from the same world as Padmé, and outwardly operates by the same rules - gentility, respectability, sophistication. But in reality, he’s much more the sort of ruler Anakin is familiar with - cruel, domineering, power-hungry. He puts the nice face of Naboo on the tyranny of Tatooine.
No wonder Anakin follows him so readily.
