Friendly reminder:
Ahsoka is in her forties.
She’s tired.
She has to go to bed before 11PM or she feels hung over even though she drank nothing.
She has random joint pains.
She feels weather.
She needs readers, but she’s in denial about it.
She has zero tolerance for anyone’s bullshit.
She is easily annoyed by said bullshit.
She’s no longer 16.
She’s no longer “snips”.
No one in their forties acts like they did in their teens. They’re not even the same person they were in their thirties.
She’s sage. She’s old. She’s going to act old. It’s okay. It happens.

Clone wars headcanons that took me forever to edit
I feel like my last couple of headcanons have been mushy so I’ve decided to write some shit Ahsoka and Anakin do that piss each other off
Ahsoka bites the skin around her nails all the time and most of the time she won't stop till they’re bleeding
Anakin’s tried literally everything in the book to get her to stop
He tried putting spices on her hands forgetting that she likes spicy food, he’s tried painting her nails (like that’ll do anything) but she keeps picking the paint off, now he just uses the force to remove them from her mouth
That’s gotten a few growls from her but at least it makes her aware she’s doing it but it doesn’t stop her from bitting them a couple of seconds later
Honestly he’s given up and just sits in silence while she complains about the pain
Anakin paces whenever he’s even slightly nervous and she can tell how nervous he is depending on how fast he moves
If he’s just kinda anxious he moves pretty slow but if he’s like one shirt caught on a door handle away from a panic attack he’s teleporting
When Padme told him he was gonna be a dad he was ecstatic for about 24 hours but after that some invisible timer went off in his head he booked it to Ahsoka’s house (she lives down the street cause of course she does)
Walked into her room and woke her poor sleepy butt up with all his pacing
Girl swears to this day he broke the damn sound barrier with how fast he was moving
She just wordlessly sat up and patted her bed cause she knew she wasn’t gonna get any sleep until he did
She sat by him and listened as he rattled off all his worries and only really stepped in when the darker thoughts surfaced when it was all said and done she turned to him and said “Now let me kriffing sleep”
Should he have probably left the room yeah but he got a total of 30 minutes of “sleep” that night so it’s not surprising that he knocked the fuck out of
Padme was a little bit alarmed to wake up without Anakin but was quickly soothed when she read Ahsoka’s message “Your nerf herders with me”
She knew the pregnancy would dredge up some unhappy feelings and she also knew Anakin can’t think clearly if he doesn’t have Ahsoka to sort through the bullshit in his head
She just got ready for brunch with her two favorite people and smiled cause she knew Obi-Wan and Rex would join them for dinner with or without an invitation
When Anakin and Ahsoka were living together they would kick each other out of their own bathrooms
Why? Well Ahsoka said Anakin’s had better lighting and water pressure and Anakin would do it to spite Ahsoka because he knew it would piss her off
Slowly but surely their stuff gets moved into each other's bathrooms and it’s a weird amalgamation of crap
Also when they were living together Anakin would ask Ahsoka if she was hungry before cooking and she’d often say no because she didn’t want to impose but his cooking always looked and smelled good
So half the time girl would just end up eating some of his food when she thought he wasn’t looking
At first he was like “Snips you said you weren’t hungry” to which she would respond “Yeah I wasn’t hungry then but I am now” after that he starts making more food on instinct cause damn that girl can eat
Anakin gets back at her pretty easily tho by taking the first bite of her food whenever they go out to eat his excuse is that he’s “making sure it’s not poisoned” he never does this to Padme cause he respects her too damn much
And he can’t use that trick on Obi-Wan and Rex cause the former taught him the trick and the latter has a bullshit detecter built-in
Both Anakin and Ahsoka pull that trick on the twins tho (which gets them a quick scolding from Padme)
Speaking of the twins it’s not surprising that as they grow up they realize that their auntie isn’t human so of course like any normal child they have questions and Anakin being the little shit that he is spots an opportunity for some laughs
So he turns to the twins all serious-like and goes “Well my loves we actually found your auntie in a dumpster we have no idea where she came from” the twins are distraught and go to the nearest adult who just so happens to be their uncle Rex
And Rex also being a little shit backs up Anakin’s story with so much sincerity that even Anakin believed it a little bit
The twins being the angels they are apologize to their auntie for her terrible origin story with tears in their eyes and her reaction more than made up for the swift ass-kicking the boys got
When Anakin was taller than Ahsoka he made her life hell by making fun of her every time something was even slightly out of her reach
He would make a big deal about grabbing it for her while commenting about how the temple’s architecture wasn’t made with the “young ones” in mind
Obi-Wan has turned multiple blind eyes when Ahsoka socked the shit out of his arms when he tells one too many jokes some days
When she finally grows taller than him she makes the biggest deal about it and no one can blame her
While Anakin is the pilot Ahsoka is easily the navigator she often jokes that Anakin wouldn’t find his way out of bed without help
Which is funny cause he often acts like a herding dog with her putting his hand on her back or holding her arm to guide her
But he’s wrong 9/10 times so it’s not uncommon to see Anakin guiding her in one direction and then see him get dragged in the opposite direction a couple of minutes later

Ahsoka’s ‘he was a good master’ in the latest episode was heartbreaking.
To me, it sounded as if she was trying to convince herself of it.
Especially in the context of that earlier episode. Getting to see (in live-action) the reality of a child being trained by slightly older child.
(he was nineteen!! she was fourteen!!)
Ahsoka was not ready. Anakin was not ready.
He was trying his best. But it was war and he had to raise her on a fucking battlefield.
He was a good master, she tries to convince herself. But he was training me to be a weapon instead of a warrior.
(my part of that legacy is one of death and war)
Imagine how conflicted Ahsoka’s memory of Anakin must be as well by now.
Idolising him as a child, breaking with the jedi but still holding his memory&legacy in such high esteem for years (whilst also growing more and more disillusioned with your childhood) and then discovering he’s Darth Vader.
Living with that horror for years, trying to come to terms with it as you witness his destruction. Knowing that’s your Skyguy.
And finally seeing him once again, in the world between worlds. Yourself stuck between life and death; childhood and adulthood. Seeing him as you saw him, and again as everyone else had to.
Knowing that’s the boy that tried so hard for you, kept you alive, and yet also having to reconcile that knowledge with the truth.
He was a good master, she tries to convince herself. To convince others. But he was not, in the end, a good man.
(you are more, Anakin; but more powerful and dangerous than anyone realised.)

would i be me if i didn't lose my mind over name dynamics. because do you know what this older, post-vader anakin calling ahsoka snips did to me as a person.
he hasn't done that since she was expelled from the jedi order. since everything changed for them.
and here, three decades later, walking a line between life and death, he greets her with a face she'll know immediately and a name he gave her on the first day they met. nobody speak to me for at least three days.
