bardzo dobrze! byłxm jedną z tych osób, które zachęcały do przejścia na tumblr. przy moim pedantyzmie możliwość edytowania postów jest niczym manna z nieba, tak samo zabawa z tagami czy opcja przygotowania posta w wersji roboczej. ogólnie to jestem zdania, że dopóki będą ludzie chętni do tworzenia, fikcja wszędzie się wybroni. przetrwamy w każdych warunkach, jak te karaluchy. hihi.

To pop off, share with us your most hated misconception about Ahsoka and why it's wrong

SEND AN ASSUMPTION/MISCONCEPTION ABOUT AHSOKA

oh, alistair, you’re baiting me and i love it.

so, to, as you say, pop off: i bloody blooming despise a notion that sprouted from ahsoka’s appearance in the book of boba fett.

the takeaway from her conversation with din in “from the desert comes a stranger” became that ahsoka not only still upheld but passed on to luke the traditional jedi order principle of “no attachment”.

in practice, for grogu this would mean he’d willingly and wholly separate himself from his bond with din in order to become a part of the jedi order, forsaking any other way of life with all its trappings. unfortunately, the armorer in the previous episode said something similar which pulled this aspect of jedi life front and center. the two life paths luke ends up presenting to grogu do enforce this idea.

but ahsoka, jedi no longer and previous open critic of the order and the strict mis/understanding of the attachment principle (the clone wars s1:ep:13 “jedi crash"/14 “defenders of peace”), wouldn’t have encouraged luke to employ this. instead, she would merely have passed along her memories of how the jedi lived and operated, presenting luke with options for how to run his order. ultimately, since ahsoka would remain uninvolved with the order itself and merely be a resource for luke, it would be his choice how to move forward. he chose to go “by the book”, shown in his recycling of words obi-wan and yoda used to instruct him, despite how often luke had disagreed with them in the past.

both in the eu and in canon, luke’s call as the last of the practicing jedi order was to fall back on what had already been established. however, in the eu he had significantly more help. and older students who provided mature feedback while still technically padawans. from there the order evolved into an entity more stable though less strict in terms of lifestyle. here in canon he’s going it alone with what remains of the jedi code he can find and speak to, including ahsoka.

what is important to recall about her is her prior refusal to teach grogu. it wasn’t just about his emotions. it was about her own as well. she no longer believed in the lifestyle of a traditional jedi when grogu crossed her path and would only encourage that lifestyle for him if he truly wanted it, which is why she directs father and son to travel to tython. from that point forward, everything was luke’s responsibility. no matter what she passed on from her own training, he was the one at the helm training his student.

[ another thing i’m not sure i’ve seen mentioned yet is that luke may have purposely chosen to teach grogu the code his new padawan was used to, thinking it may have been a source of comfort to reinforce the familiar. and due to the traumatic pause in grogu’s time with the jedi, luke’s stance on teaching was a surprisingly self-centric one: protection. not of others, but of himself. a tactic essentially leaning into grogu’s remaining fears after order 66 – but that’s a meta for another blog another time. ]

when it comes to the conversation ahsoka has with din about his fondness for grogu, it’s less about the order and more a personal test for din. especially considering din’s status as a mandalorian: time honored adversaries of the jedi, regardless of ahsoka’s own past interactions with them. wars can make surprising allies, after all.

the pertinent dialogue between ahsoka and din goes this way:

din: i thought you weren’t going to help train grogu. ahsoka: i’m not. master luke is. din: then what are you doing here? ahsoka: that’s my question for you. din: i’m here to see the kid. ahsoka: that’s why r2 brought you to see me instead. [….] din: i wanna see him. ahsoka: i know you do. let us take a walk. i warned you when we met, that your attachment to grogu would be difficult to let go of. din: he was a mandalorian foundling in my care. i just wanna make sure he’s safe. ahsoka: there is no place in the galaxy more safe than here with luke. din: i don’t understand why you’re alright with skywalker’s decision to train the kid when you wouldn’t. ahsoka: because it was his choice. i don’t control the wants of others. din: then it’s my choice to go and see him. ahsoka: of course. if that is what you wish. […] are you doing this for grogu or are you doing this for yourself? din: i just… i wanna give him this. ahsoka: why? so he will remember you? din: no. as a mandalorian foundling, he should have this. it’s his right. ahsoka: foundling… perhaps he is a padawan now. din: well… either way this armor will protect him. ahsoka: [nodding] if you are set on it, then allow me to deliver it. din: i came all this way. he’s right there. ahsoka: grogu misses you a great deal. If he sees you, it will only make things more difficult for him. din: make sure he’s protected.

so, what’s the deal with ahsoka practically interrogating din about what should be a simple request?

ahsoka’s specific goal here is to ensure that din’s interest in grogu, his safety and chosen education, was out of love for grogu the child and not grogu the potential mandalorian. if din let his hope for grogu as a mandalorian instead of a son interfere with grogu’s time at the temple, their relationship might become poisoned. jedi vs. mandalorian rifts became wars time and time again. while one man like din might not have caused a great fallout immediately, the mandalorian remnant and luke’s fledgling jedi school could have become violently opposed to each other not unlike their forebears, given the right attitude and enough time. ahsoka does not need to be a jedi any longer to still have a vested interest in the success of luke’s efforts, which she does, nor does she need to be a mandalorian to care deeply for the future of recovering mandalorians.

her conversation with din is both a general test and an individual one. plus, she is aware of something that din is not: grogu will be undergoing his own test to judge for himself what lifestyle he wants. ahsoka cannot tell din this and must let him wait for the outcome, or otherwise develop false hope. which might turn into an instrument of discord were din to hold his disappointment against grogu and the new jedi order. this is why she gently urges din to determine whose best interest is at stake in going to see him. is din more willing to protect grogu’s feelings and choices, or his own? and are din’s feelings those of a father or of a mandalorian?

by the end of the conversation, ahsoka has made it clear that she will not withhold din’s gift from grogu. in fact, she immediately turns to make her way to master and padawan with the beskar in hand.

we don’t get much in terms of grogu makes his choice or luke’s reaction, but we do see the result: a balanced representation of what grogu might want laid out physically in front of him and how he acts on his choice. which ends up being a life with din as his father and potentially a life as a mandalorian over the life of a padawan who would eventually become a jedi.

i believe that in her heart ahsoka already knew what grogu wanted most. but as she said, she did not control the wants and desires of others. i also believe ahsoka urged luke to let grogu choose what he wanted, or risk yet another instance of potential resentment against the reborn jedi order should grogu ever discover luke withheld an option from him.

choice of lifestyle was something ahsoka was only implicitly granted during her time in the order, not explicitly. grogu, as long as she was able to make it so, would have the opportunity to choose the path he wanted. and to the degree ahsoka had freedom to ensure it, the little one would be able to live a life he felt at peace with. sacrifices would have to be made, but at least grogu would know ahead of time. and through this process, luke would have opportunity to learn his own lessons about attachment and letting go as a newly forged jedi master. also that not all force users who forsook the jedi order became sith or otherwise evil. she was proof enough of that.

to wrap this whole thing up, it was never about the jedi code for ahsoka. it was always about intention. it was about love and concern between father figure and child, between master and student. she freely admits that her chosen place is not with the order, but she had vested interest in its future and the future of its members. however she’s lived too long and experienced too many historical events to keep her eye on only the jedi.

din earned her respect and trust on corvus. she encourages (and tests) his trust and respect for her on ossus. in their conversation she finds exactly what she’d hoped to find: genuine, sacrificial parental care for grogu. this indicated the best case scenario for the little one either way. once everyone was informed of their options, ahsoka could step back and allow both grogu and luke the freedom to be whatever they desired. her job was done, and done well.

TD;LR: it’s not the jedi way or the highway. not for grogu, not for anyone. it’s affection and care for community, for family, forsaking selfish ambition, that matters the most.

💞 = Does your muse believe in soulmates? 

LOVE & ROMANCE HEADCANON PROMPTS

( also asked by @vanillahub ! )

yes and no.

yes because she believes in meeting someone who understands her exactly as she wants to be understood (or gives their most valiant effort to try) and cares for her how she wants to be cared for, a gesture she'd wholly return.

no because she wouldn't use the word soulmate. although, her native togrutan language does have a word that means something similar which is used in union aka marriage ceremonies. unfortunately, ahsoka isn't entirely familiar with that word and its usage, so she just goes off what she knows from living life.

ahsoka would never go as far as to say there's a perfect match for everyone in the galaxy - or her - but someone right enough could very well could be out there.

😘 = Does your muse like to flirt? Do they like to be flirted with?  (( because I saw your tags heheh ))

LOVE & ROMANCE HEADCANON PROMPTS

( also asked by @delugenal ! )

ahsoka enjoys being flirtatious when it's all in fun and not that serious. the side glances, narrowed eyes and slow blinks, folded arms, the cocked hip, the tilted head, they're her best tactics for urging someone to feel at ease and play along. those moves usually result in the kind of mutual flirtation she's begun to know well and can confidently guide the trajectory. but in the end, it won't go anywhere. she's not looking for deeper reciprocation other than snark out in the wild.

unless she's flirting with a significant other. that's very different. everything is slower, more relaxed, much more direct, and still somehow a little shy. her confidence isn't in how she can play an interaction, but in the mutual strength of feeling and experiences instead. if her significant other flirts back, the shyness tends to dissipate. she's also more likely to smile far wider and more often than usual. if she catches them off guard in any way, it's not intentional although much funnier.

being flirted with when she's not expecting it, though, sort of confuses her and she won't really respond much at first. especially if the timing is incongruent or the priorities seem out of place. maybe they'll get a blink and a "thanks?" at most. (sorry kaeden, wrong place, wrong time.) worst case scenario, she'll ask "why?" which is....likely not the reaction the person trying to initiate something was hoping for and it catches up with ahsoka much later if it catches up with her at all. when she's all business, she's kind of all business.

the long and the short of it is, flirting doesn't have a whole lot of sway over ahsoka unless it's between her and her partner. she's not exceptional at it unless she's really thinking about it or it's for pulling intel, and it doesn't so much go over her head as it does sideswipe her completely when she's unexpectedly flirted with. altogether, a mess. but when she's at her most comfortable in private with someone she cares for, the way she goes about banter is very sweet and clearly meant to laugh over.

Misconception: Ahsoka is partially faulted for Anakin falling to the dark side.

SEND AN ASSUMPTION/MISCONCEPTION ABOUT AHSOKA

ahsoka was an unknowing step down on an already very unsteady ladder.

no doubt she weakened anakin's resolve to stay in the order, but he was already inching toward that path to the dark side with or without her. did it perhaps speed up the process? 100%. in much the same fashion as anakin's nightmares concerning padmé's death as padmé came closer and closer to her due date.

but would we really say padmé is at fault for pushing anakin toward the dark side? no, i don't believe so. by definition, ahsoka's departure and the nightmares about padmé, plus her increasingly nervous behaviour around him as he spiraled, were catalysts to anakin's eventual fall, but not causes. i say this especially because ahsoka and padmé loved anakin very much and cared for his well being deeply, but they had a whirlpool of their own terrible circumstances to work through, too.

conversely, i think padmé's and ahsoka's presence in anakin's life may have made it easier to cling to the light while they were around him. as soon as they began to feel distant, the fear rushed in.

in particular though, ahsoka's departure from the order was never because of anakin. it was in spite of him. even though he may have done all he could to ensure her exoneration, the rest of the jedi council thoroughly mucked up the process. their mistakes were never his fault, nor would ahsoka ever dream of insinuating such a thing. but anakin may also have feared he didn't do enough to renew her faith in the jedi, yet he was the only one who did enough. that's something i believe ahsoka tried to tell him in her own way before she left. once she was gone, though, every dangerous worry in anakin's head could run free.

so, to me, while she was a contribution, she isn't a cause. she isn't to blame. anakin's choices were always his own, even under the heavy and damning influence of palpatine.

( while really valid comparisons can be made to a steep mental health journey loaded with negative outside stimuli, anakin had options. he just had immense difficulty seeing them for what they were due to extreme stress. difficulty like any of us would have. not only was his destiny seemingly written for him by uncaring hands before he ever had any kind of say, but he was suffering under all that pressure, tricked into believing turning to the darkness was his only choice. but it wasn't. vader was a victim just as much as he was a villain. just as much as he was a hero. there were ways out, he just couldn't see them at the time. and if anyone reading this feels any kind of similar pressure or similar growing fear that you'll never make it out of the dark tunnel you're trapped in, you can be free. there is a way out to freedom for you and i believe you will find it. from someone who's been in that dark tunnel, strength shows up at strange times. you do have it in you to save yourself and become your own hero. i believe it, without a shadow of a doubt. you can do this. )

[commandsir]

just so you're aware, snips, i am proud of you. i know, i know, i don't usually say it, but i mean it.

her smile is a slow moving thing, almost luxurious.

anakin's impression flickers and there may not be much time left to speak to him, though ahsoka still finds herself taking her sweet time sitting down beside that which remains of the master from a youth long past. he's quite been a few different people since they last spoke in the flesh. so has she; they still know one another regardless, memorized across landscapes of flaws and cracks and peaks. perhaps they will always know, even as they fade into the force and out of memory, when that time finally comes.

 ❝  something in here, ❞ the now matured togruta murmurs while tapping where her robes hide her heart,  ❝ always needed to hear that. i'm amazed that the youngling i used to be still lingers, but she does. and that part of me is grateful to get to hear you say it. all those years never made a difference. thank you. ❞

once, that might have been a lie, she thinks: such generosity would have been what ahsoka wished she felt. there hadn't been much room for grace in her garden of old agonies.

but as much as it pained ahsoka to watch the past burn before her, below the ash of her grievances and guilts dwelt a more whole spirit, meant for a path not walked by simply subsisting on what service she could provide the galaxy at any given time. above all, there was hope. for her, and for the galaxy.

after some further thought, ❝  i'm proud of both of us. as strange as it sounds, i truly am. ❞

💙 = Does your muse prefer a night out or a night in? 

LOVE & ROMANCE HEADCANON PROMPTS

for a date, definitely a night in. ideally it's much more peaceful and private without the need for any kind of ultra-awareness. it also sounds much less exhausting.

to get out of her own head, though, a night out. she'll still need to be cautious but she can be someone other than herself if she really wants, or simply be a fly on the wall and listen to the people of the galaxy living their lives.

HOWEVER, if going somewhere secluded to enjoy a planet's natural wonders can count as a night out, but in, she'll take that option.

LOVE & ROMANCE HEADCANON PROMPTS

😍 = Does your muse have any crushes? If so, who are they?

kdjfhalkjfhladkfjg....yeah. she hoards those crushes like thorny little pets in her pockets so they keep jabbing at her uncomfortably. depends in where in her life it is, though.

pulling from all canon sources to start, it's been kidd kareen (cutest little danger playground crush ever), lux bonteri (questionable broody hot guy), and kaeden larte (gorgeous and a little too curious) even though she had Some Timing telling ahsoka she'd kiss her right after they switched gears from rescue to defense. still, ahsoka did like her. and it was because ahsoka liked her that she didn't want to stay in touch. there was too much risk of putting kaeden and miara in dire danger again. with all three, ESPECIALLY with lux and kaeden, ahsoka shows that she's got very interesting and unfortunate luck with love interests.

as for my blog canon, oh boy. that there's a list and ahsoka is mad at herself for so many of them because she's essentially offering her heart up on a platter for pain. but for the first time in her life for many of these, she follows through. SO: we've got boba fett (this one should account for THREE. they're the galaxy's longest on and off relationship), an adult crush on elias kanu because even though they were padawans together they were on very different sides of the war post 66 and after alderaan very different levels of people-ing, then there's an adult crush on captain rex because ahsoka realized just how much he added to her life and dammit she missed him, captain vaughn since they practically grew up together and fought so closely, and i'm also running with the idea that ahsoka likely had a bit of a crush on barriss offee, but unlike the above that was very brief and went nowhere. and the longer she lives, there's bound to be even more. she is not immune to The Feelings.

💛 = In what ways does your muse express their love to their partner? 

LOVE & ROMANCE HEADCANON PROMPTS

( also asked by @delugenal & @inebranlablc ! )

by giving them as much of her time as they want and all the time she can spare: she invites them into every area of her life that she can afford. often, this means traveling together or finding ways to work in parallel. this is the most common, but it's no small thing to ahsoka and she welcomes it with the right people eagerly.

when she's reached a truly deep level of affection, her feelings manifest first in little tokens she makes to reflect past conversations or represent something important to the one she loves. small, so that if they want, they can carry it on their person without being weighted down. it's something she also does. while ahsoka's total tally of possessions stays small so she is able to travel anywhere or do anything at the snap of a finger, sentimental object she wants to always have will be sewn into her clothing (like her beskar iron heart from her siege of mandalore battledress) or sewn into small pouches on her utility belt/armor flaps. there's even a couple items stuck under her wrist armor. these kinds of items she won't necessarily bring up in conversation, but if she's asked about them, she'll explain.

her quietest and most rare form of romantic expression is touch. much like mandalorians, togrutas count forehead presses among their most meaningful gestures. it's companionship. it's a literal meeting of the minds. it's comfort and assurance of safety. this, along with gentle hand signs, are what ahsoka turns to when words won't suffice. because togruta are hunters by nature and by trade, a gentle touch between beings is a true sign of companionship cherished.

💬 ❝ can you do two hundred push-ups? ❞  @mayxthexforce / trace martez

that was a new one.

airship traffic outside martez hangar had been slow all day, leaving ahsoka twitching inside her skin and withdrawing from the force ever so slightly. without a constant crush of other life forms and force signatures flooding the air, there was always more of a chance she'd be detected for any purpose at all. and she'd rather not discover what kinds there could be.

but she and trace were running out of things to do so the distraction wasn't unwelcome, as out of left chin-bret field as it might have been.

 ❝  two hundred push-ups? can't say i've ever tried that many at once before. ❞  arms folded almost of their own accord, one brow marking at first raised in appraisal which quickly increased to two. she liked where this was going.
