SCREAMING HE JUST FUCKING KILLS THE GUY. AND HIS SMILE ALL :DD I LOVE HIM

Tech

Ahsoka doing an inverse of the "oh no tomboy character has to wear a dress" trope.

Ahsoka has to attend a state diner or something with bank clan members theyre trying to get dirt on to prove their sabotaging the republic.

And she's fucking stoked.

She gets to act like a fucking girl for once! Not a commander in a skirt but an honest to God pretty girl.

She does a whole spa day to get ready. Rex is trying to relay mission intel and she's doing a sugar scrub. He looks really fucking confused as to what's going on but doesn't ask.

Fives however is not as polite and wants to know what the hell she's doing.

"Sugar scrub" she catches his completely clueless look. "Basically, I'm sanding my face". Que all of the men looking very concerned bc why the hell are you sanding your face?. " makes my skin really soft.

Then she proceeds to have to explain her whole face care routine. Like, this is so remove dead skin. this is acid; it eats dead skin out of my pores. This is clay it dries up skin oils. This is a water based moisturizer.

And that's all before the make up.

By the end of it three of the men are just quietly watching her outline the shape of her marking with white liner. The false eylashes freak them the hell out.

And Ahsoka is having the time of her life. Bumping some cantina music and spritzing herself with b&bw perfume. She gets to wear something other than her durable battle dress. She gets to wear heels!!!

She has to do a test drive for her heels to make sure her feet won't cramp out on her halfway through dinner. So she's strutting down the hall in her pjs and heels.

Obi-wan is politely amused by her giddy stumbly stride.

Then she has a whole strutting down the landing ramp moment with her dangly earings and new dress. Very middle school dance vibes.

Also possibly I think we as a fandom should explore the effect that a male dominated field like the military would have on Ahsoka's perception of feminity especial as a pre-teen in an all-male lineage. Especially as a commanding officer that enjoys being referred to as sir.

“We all agree this is Cody’s fault?” Fox asks, hands on his hips as he looks around.

Wolffe snorts. “Absolutely. I will not get into shit with General Plo.”

“Does this face look like it could do wrong?” Bly says, pointing at himself. “No. Cody’s on the other hand…”

“It’s the deep waters you gotta look out for,” Wolffe nods sagely.

“I will kill you all and make it look like an accident.”

“That’s the spirit,” Fox grins, slapping Cody’s shoulder in encouragement. “Hold that expression until the sergeant arrives for processing.”
