Absolutely no one.

Me realizing in the middle of math that Hunter has to to do all the Bad Batch’s paperwork:

I am so rarely serious here, I mainly post fandom stuff and on some ocassions weird day to day shit. However, a personal note today. Per my bio, I am Ukranian (from Kyiv).

As such a reminder: this war has been going on for ten years not two. Just because people in the West decided to remember that IDPs exist and Russia annaxed Crimea within the past two years, doesn't change the fact that Russia invaded Crimea ten years ago all of my paternal family is from Donetsk/Luhansk and have been internally displaced for years. I am privileged that my lived experience is that of IDPs, refugee registrations, destroyed property, and not lives lost. I am lucky to say I lost the city of Mariinka not specific people. R*ssians are delusional and genocidal. When ~80% of your country supports a war you cannot look at the victims and declare that they are Russaphobic for the very accurate assessment that the majority of R*ssians want Ukrainian's dead and do not believe in the sovereignty of a Ukranian state.

As such if you have the financial means, I leave a couple fundraiser links here, both for the armed forces and humanitarian aid. While humanitarian aid is greatly appreciate, I urge people to remember we save ten dollars on humanitarian aid for every dollar folks give directly to the armed forces. This is not about finances, but about the fact that humanitarian aid is vital but doesn't stop Russian forces. Drones and artillery shells and the bravery of Ukrainian armed forces does. We ask only for armament, we will do the rest ourselves.

Finally, while I acknowledge that we live in a finite attention economy, and I chose to spotlight Ukraine today (because the onus is on us as Ukranians, no one else will advocate for us) doesn't mean peopel shouldn't stand in solidarity and support other folks suffering from armed conflict. I personally stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine (I urge people to keep boycotting organizations funding genocide and to continue calling for a ceasfire), of Armenia, Myanmar, Sudan, Syria and the DRC. We arguably understand each other's experiences the most, and can achive lasting change only through collation. I also acknowledge the racist treatment of most of these wars. It is fundamentally unjust my family has an easier time with refugee registration because we are white.

I have to keep on believing this war will end and we will rebuild one day. Слава Україні і героєм Слава! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

was last month absolutely miserable!!!! yes!!!!! but its pioneer rcq weekend lets fucking goooooooooooooooooooooooo decklist and card choices beneath cut

Main Deck

4 Kumano Faces Kakkazan

4 Soul-scar mage

4 Monastery Swiftspear

4 Phoenix Chick

4 Play with fire

2 Wild Slash

2 Spikefield Hazard//Spikefield Cave

4 Skewer the Critic

4 Light up the Stage

4 Bonecrusher Giant//Stomp

4 Chandra, Dressed to Kill

4 Den of the Bugbear

4 Ramanup Ruins

11 Mountains

Side Board

1 Obosh, the Preypiercer

2 Soul-guide Lantern

3 Rending Volley

3 Rending Flame

4 Rampaging Ferocidon

2 Goblin Chainwhirler

so yeah its pretty standard obosh burn. my sb is pretty much the same from the last rcq i went to, but i swapped out my companion breaking greasefang and azorius control package for ferocidons. at the last rcq i saw 0 control, but lost to sacrifice when i know i couldve won if i had been able to turn off those inkeepers. rending flame has felt pretty bad every time i brought it in, but i know the meta in the area the rcq is happening is pretty spirits heavy if i recall, so i think it will be very funny if it looks the way i remember it.

ive jsut sorta conceded that i am going to get washed by rakdos, devotion, and greasefang (and also fires now) but i just havent really been able to go over tournament reports in the last few months for like a few reasons so i havent been able to figure out a plan and test it out (not that i would get many shots to because our local is sorta drying up rn and i dont like playing digital). really debated playing the 4th volley to just dunk on spirits and izzet, but i think what ive got for them is already p good and i think the match up with izzet is fine because most izzet pilots ive seen get overwhelmed by their own deck and will probably be exhausted and scuff their matches with me by the time i have to claw over them in losers bracket.

i wouldve liked to try roiling vortex for the fires list, but im skeptical if they will go that far against them given the lists online seem to run full sets of temporary lockdown and leyline binding and those are already gut punches for me so it seems not smart to make them even better agaisnt me? or should i play them to force them to answer another threat idk. genuinely, so scared of the decks running maindeck temp lockdown. that is going to be a nightmare. im also sorta scared of the humans list. ive played against it a few times and i just feel like thalia and extraction specialist are so demoralizing to play through.genuinely considering running.... idk magma spray or something, but that seems ill-advised.

but what can you do. i wouldve like to try out a torbran verison of the deck. i saw some lists floating around that use torbran with kari zev, eidolon, ferocidons/chainwhirlers for big synergy and looked cool and fun, but i couldnt track down the kari zevs of all things and i am sorta apprehensive about the embercleave versions of the deck, as much as i love resolving embercleave onto annax on an emotional level. but also im essentially palying this version because i adore obosh on that same level too so who knows. we’ll see how it goes. a sloppy tournament report to come. because i can get to this one alone and leave alone/whenever, there is a chance i will drop early and go home if my prospects become unsalvagable to preserve other people’s tie breakers so maybe the report will be shorter too.

#personal rambling #ive lived in this burn deck my whole life and they are going to pry these lightning bolts from my cold dead hands

Biography:

Born to the original Aquaman, known as Orin, and Annax High King (or rather High Queen) Mera of Poseidonis, Artur grew up loved and was always wondering when he would have an adventure of his own, inspired by stories of his father's journeys as Aquaman. By the time he turned 13, he started his training under his father's former protege, Kaldur'ram, the current Aquaman. As his parents worried that as the son of the royal family, Artur would be targeted in the future, and would need to learn how to defend himself.

During his training with Kaldur'ram, he befriended a female Atlantean, who is another one of Kaldur'ram's proteges, who would become Blue Marine in the future. They became close friends. Artur would eventually learn that the girl's name is Shi'Maia, a resident of Shayeris. Later, his sister, Mareena was born, and already Arthur doted on his little sister.

Two years later, as Darkseid began his invasion on Earth, Orin was forced to fight in the war. But not before saying his farewells to his family, despite his son's protest. But Artur's father replied that this was not his time to join the battle. But he must remain on the land and seas as the future protector of Earth. This was the last time Arthur saw his father before his disappearance. Till this day, both Artur and his mother ruled Atlantis.

At the age of 15, while serving as regent, Artur would enroll into the Atlantean military to join the ranks of combatants in order to get as strong as he could to protect the land and seas. As a result, the prince became well-respected for his bravery and effort, disregarding his own safety for the sake of his people, as it won the hearts of Atlantis as the future king. However, those efforts worried his mother and sister as they feared he was pushing himself too much.

Once Artur turned 18, his ascension as crown prince began. However, his mother, Mera was aware of the distraught her son was going through for the loss of his father and would try to assure him as best as she could.

The Ascension Ceremony was interrupted when his maternal aunt, Hila leads her rebelling Xebelian forces after she usurped the throne of Xebel as it's ruler. Mera gave her son the Crown of Arion to keep it away from her, and orders him to escape with Kaldur'ram and Mareena. It is unknown what happened to Mera when she faces her sister in a battle.

Currently, Artur lives in his grandfather's lighthouse as a safe refuge, where his father used to take him to in order for him to see his side of history,since he is now aware of his human lineage. And he takes the Aqualad mantle, while concealing his identity as the Atlantean Prince with a silver mask. Continuing his training with Aquaman II, alongside his friend, Blue Marine. After becoming Aqualad, Artur would then vow to reunite with his father should he find him.

Personality:

Born in the Atlantean Royal family, Artur was intelligent enough to sort out the conflicts of his teammates. But knew his identity must be kept in secrecy to hide from his father's enemies.

He's also known to be polite, respecting elders, including veteran heroes before him. His mother mentions that she knew from the beginning that he was born a fighter and a leader. But he would never see his comrades as numbers or soldiers.

But saw his teammates as his friends for the more he works with them. After becoming leader of the Titans, Aqualad struggles in leadership. The side of battles mentally scarred him as his father's disappearance was the sole reason of his grief.

Whenever a mission fails, or a teammates gets killed or injured, Artur was quick to blame himself for those events. However, with courage from his mentor, Artur would try to step up in the game as protector of Earth. As Aqualad, he knew would have to remain strong for his friends, not as a prince, but as a Titan.

During one of his meetings with Resistance of other worlds, Artur was shown to have political skills of gaining allies. And would take his duties as leader of the Titans seriously. Especially as the future high king of Atlantis.

Being an older brother to Princess Mareena, he would listen and consider her words and advise without any hesitation. And even acted as a fatherly figure to his sister since the absence of their father.

Deep down, he was aware of the ups and downs of becoming king and protector, as he was aware that his father did not have things easy when he was king at the time, due to being raised in a lighthouse. But Artur would always recognized his father as the bridge of land and sea. And would take his wisdom to heart. And Artur decides that once he becomes king, he would pass this wisdom to the next generations of the royal family.

He would also reject any women who wanted to become his consort, as he was only fond of his friend Sh'Maia, regardless if she was neither born of nobility not royalty. As he only seeks people who only saw him as a person, not a prince. And was happy that his teammates are like a second family as they only saw him as a leader and a Titan.

Dear Ana

Recentemente eu vi um comentário em cima de um post sobre ficar de jejum por muito tempo, tal era: "você não tem mãe?".

Eu parei pra pensar sobre isso, minha mãe mesmo estando longe de mim faz questão de monitorar minha alimentação, eu não gosto/consigo mentir para ela, somos bem próximas e muito amigas, omitir é diferente de mentir? Eu só não conto, hoje mesmo ela me perguntou se eu havia almoçado, eu disse que sim, meu almoço foi uma sopa vono, acredito que se ela soubesse que eu só comi isso ficaria zangada, mas eu não menti, eu só não contei o que comi, isso não é errado, é?

Bem, eu tenho falado diariamente para mim mesma que eu sou forte e que eu consigo ao invés de me criticar.

Seja para fazer um exercício quando estou super esgotada ou exceder um limite de jejum mesmo quando estou passando muito mal, esses sacrifícios me motivam.

Se ontem eu fiz 18h de jejum e hoje eu fiz 20h eu não sou fraca por não conseguir fazer fazer 24h, eu fui melhor que ontem. Eu fui forte por ter me superado.

Eu não quero me aborrecer por não ser 100%, eu quero me sentir motivada a ser melhor a cada dia, mesmo que seja de pouquinho em pouquinho.

Minha perna não é to grande para subir 10 degraus de uma vez, e talvez eu até caía tentando fazer mais do que consigo.

Another Atlantis Drabble if you want: Artur finding out his mom is now the High King and his dad is now the Queen. I imagine the conversation would be wonderfully lighthearted and adorable, but you do you should you choose to accept!

I don't think I took this in the direction you were expecting, but I hope you like it anyways!

Transition of Titles

Mera and Orin sat on either side of Artur, hugging them close. Like the rest of Atlantis, he’d seen someone (his uncle, as it turned out, though they would tell him that when he was older) be disintegrated live. That was already a lot for a nine-year-old to handle, but on top of that, his father had given up the crown, and his mother had become High King.

Now, when the guards passed them in the halls, they saluted with an “Annax Mera”.

“What does that make you?” Artur asked, looking up at his father. 

“I’m still me.” He answered kindly, “Your father. Aquaman. But my official title will be Queen of Atlantis.”

Artur scrunched up his nose and looked between his two parents. “So Mom’s a king now, and Dad’s a queen? Why not just have two kings? Or leave the titles as they were?”

Mera hugged Artur around the middle and squeezed, proud of her thoughtful child. “Many Annaxes have wedded ‘Kings’ in the past. And many women have been Annax. It is a title bestowed by the City-States. A title that I have been granted.” Though her father had kicked up quite a fuss during that new vote.

Orin nodded in agreement with his wife, “While Queen is the title bestowed through marriage.” He reached across Artur to squeeze Mera’s hand, “A title I am honored to bear.”

Artur made himself small between them. “So you can just switch? And that’s okay?”

“Yes, no one’s argued so far.” In truth it was the staff’s idea, but Orin would roll with it if it meant a smooth transition.

Almost too quiet to hear, Artur mumbled while deliberately avoiding their eyes, “So…could I not be Aquaboy? Would it be okay if I was Aquagirl instead?”

The question took Orin and Mera by surprise. No amount of their infinite love and support for their child could have stopped the silent moment of processing and conversing through eye contact that passed between them because now they had questions too. How serious was Artur? How long had he been thinking about it? Was he even he anymore? Had there been signs they missed? How could they show their child how genuine they were when they said,

“Yes! That’s more than okay.”

Their child unwound a little at the words, not quite looking up yet, but now tense from embarrassment not fear. Orin hugged Artur close and kissed that blonde head.

“You would make an incredible Aquagirl.” He assured, pushing down the memories of what happened to the last Aquagirl. He couldn’t mix those fears into this conversation. Or his perfect child might get the wrong impression.

Mera clasped her child’s hands in hers, they were so small and fragile, “And would you like to be Princess Artur, too? Or is there a different name you want.”

“I- I haven’t decided yet…okay?”

“That’s perfectly fine.”

“You don’t have to decide anything right now.”

“But whatever and whenever you do decide, we’ll always support you.”

Mera and Orin sandwiched their first and only child in a big family bear hug.

“We love you.”

What would you say to those who hold the view that calling Mera Annax (High King) instead of Anassa (High Queen) was an example of the show squeezing a woman into a masculine title/construct because it thinks feminine titles are inferior?

I don’t think that necessarily it’s that feminine titles are inferior (at least not in YJ). It’s possible that Annax simply means ‘ruler of Atlantis’ and that there isn’t a direct English translation, and the closest is “King”, given that previous Kings are male. Now that Mera has become Annax, she gets the title of ‘King’, as Queen wouldn’t necessarily be correct.

This is just my take on it, I think this is an excellent question posed for Ask Greg, or tag him on Twitter to ask. I’m sure there’s a much better explanation.

Cabaret (Commander Cody x reader)

{masterlist}

Warnings: do you like angst? no? well too fucking bad. I re-watched Cabaret and this happened. Order 66, mentions of sex

I listed to the Liza Minneli version for this. 

Notes: Two fics within 24 hours of each other? who is she?

..........................................

What good is sitting alone in your room?

Come here the music play! 

Life is a cabaret, old chum.

Come to the cabaret!

The live band was in full swing, cranking out those gorgeous harmonies that heightened your words so magnificently. Tonight was a big night - you were performing for the senators tonight, an impromptu celebration for the ever nearing end of the Clone War. Dooku was dead, Grievous was on the run, apparently Mandalore was being sieged (for whatever reason, Cody hadn’t told you). All of it gave you hope that soon the bells would toll and there’d be cheering in the streets of Coruscant. Maybe you and a certain commander would be able to recreate that absolutely darling picture circulating the holonet of the soldier kissing his lady love (scandalous as it was, you were pleasantly surprised by the chatter surrounding the idea of clones having partners. A lot of people were all for it). As it were, Cody was hunting that damnable droid general down on Utapau with Kenobi while you were waiting with bated breath for that precious call telling you that it was time for Cody and you to run off. You could already see the cabin he wanted on Alderaan...

Put down the knitting, the book, and the broom -

it’s time for a holiday!

It was a miracle that you and Cody even met. You were caught on Christophsis when the separatists attacked. All you’d wanted was to help out your old friend, Bail, by bringing some joy to the citizens of the the crystalline planet. The separatists blockaded though and it was only thanks to the 212th and the 501st that you’d been able to get back to Coruscant. You’d performed for the men in return, entertaining almost every wish they had. 

And a few more for the golden commander that managed to strike your fancy. 

Life is a cabaret, old chum, 

come to the cabaret! 

From then on, every time he was on Coruscant he’d find a way to watch you perform. Even when you were in venues that, while they didn’t exclude clones, weren’t particularly welcoming to him and his brothers. It never seemed to shake Cody. It was odd. When you looked at him, you would have thought that he was a hardass who wouldn’t ever entertain the thought of quiet nights curled up in someone’s arms pressing the softest of kisses to any exposed skin. But, gods above, was he soft. Guess you could never tell till you’d held someone in your arms. 

Come taste the wine, come hear the band. 

Come blow a horn, start celebrating - 

right this way, your table’s waiting. 

You’d never understood the concept of “home”. As one of the galaxies most notable performers, you were always on the move. Senators always requested your presence at their personal parties, rich families used you to show off, and you were always busy with your personal concerts that were trying to raise money for relief missions and charities. Your home was the hyper-space lanes and the members of your band. 

I used to have this girlfriend known as ‘Elsie’. 

With whom I shared four sordid rooms in Chelsea. 

But then Cody happened. What had started out as non-committal sex and company was now a relationship you cherished above all else. And if the ring tucked away in the drawer of your nightstand was any indication, not something you intended to let go of. 

She wasn’t what you’d call a blushing flower. 

As a matter of fact, she rented by the hour!

You just had to wait for him to be back in your arms and you could pop the question and start the newest chapter of your lives. 

The day she died the neighbors came to snicker...

“Well, that what comes from too much pills and liquor.” 

Just a little while longer, you realized with a start, and you’d be living a different life. Your life had always been one of ‘go, go, go’ of ‘bigger, bolder, better’. You always had to one-up yourself to stay in the cutthroat world of performance. But in a few hours - you could be starting down a new path. One that offered you the chance to settle down. You were pretty sure you’d keep performing, you loved it too much to let it go, but you’d have a husband and a permanent home. It was going to be different. 

But when I saw her laid out like a queen...

And you were so terribly excited. 

She was the happiest corpse I’d ever seen. 

For tonight, you’d happily embrace your old life. 

I think of Elsie to this very day.

I remember, how she’d turn to me and say;

“What good is sitting all alone in your room?” You crooned into the mic affixed to your cheek with a playful look about you as your eyes surveyed the sea of politicians and rich persons of Coruscant and elsewhere. “Come hear the music play.” 

Life is a cabaret, old chum, 

come to the cabaret! 

What was Cody doing now? You couldn’t help but wonder. Most likely he was in the middle of a fight and that thought did make your stomach twist uncomfortably. He’d be fine. You had to remind yourself. He always was. Except for after Annaxes when he spent his week of leave curled up in bed with you. But, that was different. Very different. 

And as for me - as for me. 

I made my mind up back in Chelsea-

You could almost see Cody’s charming, closed mouth smile and the loving, smoldering look he’d send you the second he had you wrapped in his arms. You could feel the cold press of plastoid against your temple, the soothing caress of his hand running up and down your back, the solid hold he kept on your hip with his other hand. You could smell the blaster residue, dirt, and smoke that always clung to him after he got back. But underneath that, the blend of tea tree and fresh air that you most associated with him. And you could hear as much as feel the whisper and brush of his lips against your skin as he reminded you, “I’m here. Don’t worry.” 

When I go, I’m going like Elsie! 

You couldn’t wait for Cody to be back. 

“Start by admitting from cradle to tomb-” You continued, making your way down into the audience. A spotlight followed your every move. “It isn’t that long a stay! Life is a ca-” The emergency lights flickered on - painfully red as a deafening alarm rang outside. Anxious clamoring erupted among the senators. 

“What happened?” 

“Are we under attack again?” 

“Is the chancellor alright?” 

In the corner next to the door you noticed three of your security guards hunched over a datapad. They signaled you over.  In bold print read ‘Chancellor attacked in failed Jedi coup’. A coup? “E-Excuse me-” You hastily excused yourself and raced to the room that had been set up as a makeshift dressing room for you. Just as you reached the door, the ground shook. More panicked screeches escaped the senators. You rushed to the window where large plumes of smoke were billowing into the sky from the direction of the Jedi temple. Your stomach plummeted and you blindly clicked on the private comchannel. “C-Cody? Cody, my love, a-a-are you there?” Static met your ears for a moment till, finally, a click signaled someone had answered. “Cody? Please, is that you?” No answer, just muffled yelling. “Cody, something’s happened here on Coruscant - there are emergency reports saying the Chancellor was attacked and the temple has smoke coming from it. Cody, it says the Jedi tried to stage a-” 

“By the orders of Lord Sidious in accordance with Order 66,” the voice that answered belonged to a clone but it didn’t sound like Cody, “all Jedi are to be executed for treason against the Republic.” 

You felt faint. What had happened? The war was so close to being over - how? “Cody-” you began but the com chirped to tell you the line had been broken. With a trembling hand, you reached for the window and leaned against the cool transparisteel. The panic was palpable all over Coruscant as the news spread. With one act, everything in the galaxy had changed. 

Only a cabaret, old chum. 

And I love a cabaret.

An Analysis of Ahsoka and Windu's Interaction in TCW Finale Season 7 Episode 11 - Why Windu's Comment is in the Right

It's been 28 days since the Clone Wars finale finished. It has been 31 days since Episode 11: Shattered aired. This was the infamous episode that had a good majority raging anger at Jedi Master/General and Council Member Mace Windu.

In the opening 5-6mins, we see the Jedi Council meeting via hologram, the scene we see taking place on Coruscant in Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. Moments after, Ahsoka walks in with Rex. Now, this opinion might put me in the crosshairs of some people who will think differently, but I have an inkling or belief some are misinterpreting this particular scene.

Let me make it clear first: I love Ahsoka. She is one of the greatest characters brought into the Star Wars mythos by George Lucas and brought to life by Dave Filoni and voiced wonderfully by the talented Ashley Eckstein. Do you want to know how much Ahsoka Tano means to me? I wouldn't have come back and embraced Star Wars again had I not discovered her character watching random Rebels clips on YouTube which led me back to the Clone Wars ~2yrs ago.

I greatly thank Ashley Eckstein for bringing me back to the fandom. Back to the main point, separating voice actor/actress from their character. In my point of view, I'm NOT directing it at EVERYONE, but some of those who love or big fans of Ahsoka so much there's no fault in her. Her character had faults in the beginning and she's still a flawed character. Ahsoka is flawed, but so well written, she is relatable and to a certain degree, perfect. That's not what I'm on about. It's about the lash and some giving Windu the slap because of how he addresses and speaks to Ahsoka post-capture and detainment of Maul.

We all know, but to refresh some, Ahsoka Tano left the Jedi Order, this effectively removing her status as a Jedi Padawan and Commander of the 501st Legion of the Grand Army of the Republic. She chose to walk away and strip herself of everything, military rank and privileges. She is essentially a standard citizen trying to survive and make ends meet of a cruel galaxy, in a dying Galactic Republic. We are well aware, the twilight of the Republic and the Jedi was near, inevitable and unavoidable. So let me reiterate Ahsoka's stance, because this is an important point. Tano is a CITIZEN. She's a CIVILIAN.

Push forward to the Siege of Mandalore, without a doubt, some time has passed and Ahsoka's walkabout took place before the Bad Batch arc, with Republic on shaky battle grounds against the Separatists on Annaxes, which it's sitting on a major hyperspace lane direct to Coruscant (way too close for comfort).

By the time Ahsoka fills in the Council about the status of Maul and Mandalore, here comes the scene that had a lot of people running up the walls of how Windu addresses and treats Ahsoka. Let's remind ourselves of some vital quotes and points. Ahsoka was not a Jedi, she gave that up. She could have chosen to enlist directly into the GAR instead as a commissioned officer or take back her position as Commander via the GAR. Positions and military rank were given to the Jedi by their own status in the Order. Knights and Masters given General, Padawans ranked Commanders (Obi-wan an exception since he had a Clone Marshal Commander).

The Siege of Mandalore was going to be a sticky one despite success because Mandalore is a neutral planet, though it had links to the Republic, but is very much neutral. I won't go into complexities, but visit the YouTube channel Generation Tech, they did a very good exploration into it. I'll avoid politics standpoints for now.

Back to the primary point. Ahsoka stated she only fought in the siege as her duty as a citizen, but as not a Jedi.

"I did my duty as a citizen." - Ahsoka Tano

She also says prior to that statement:

"I will escort Commander Rex when he delivers him to Coruscant." - Ahsoka Tano

Finished with:

"No, not yet." - Ahsoka Tano

This is the key point here. Ahsoka is a citizen. She aided as a citizen, fought as a citizen and she is taking time out to escort Commander Rex and the 332nd back to Coruscant. After that, she would have went her separate ways (but we all know disaster strikes). To make it clear: Ahsoka Tano is a citizen who freely involved herself in what would have been a campaign, part of the Outer Rim Sieges and in extension, Jedi business.

Now, the statement Windu make upon the 'wrapping up' of the meeting.

"I'm sorry, citizen, but these are matters for the Council to discuss." - Mace Windu

And this where lovers of TCW nearly flipped the table. The scenario was read and interpreted as rude and maybe even condescending on Ahsoka, despite her service in the siege. However, I think the scene is being read incorrectly.

Ahsoka openly stated before the High Jedi Council that she is a citizen, only fought as her duty as a citizen. How often in real life do you hear a citizen involving themself in a military campaign? It's almost unheard of, but this is Star Wars and it's fiction, but there is real life influences that make logical sense.

In this case, there is without a doubt somewhere in the regulation handbook of the GAR that under any circumstances are civilians NOT to be disclosed to military information. Military information and even to involved in the Council meeting, it's something not be shared with a civilian. Sharing what is classified information is a MAJOR breach in security. I'm not saying Ahsoka is a spy (though she does become a pretty badass one one in Rebels), but because of her status as a civilian, she cannot be disclosed such information. Heck, even if the boys wanted to see her again, Ahsoka cannot walk into the Clone Barracks anymore. She probably can, unless someone escorts her, people like Rex or a fellow General such as Anakin.

We already know Windu is getting stressed by the war, almost desperate to end the war and we all know the action he takes in the film. Windu does love the Republic, if I'm correct, it was quoted in Stover's ROTS novelisation, he thought he is doing best for the Republic.

Anyways, I think there are those being too harsh on Windu. Think about it again, I'd you were in Ahsoka's shoes, a citizen after fighting in a siege, essentially part of the Clone Wars, neither you would be privy to sensitive information. Windu is stoic as it is, it's not his attitude, it's his tone that came across as condescending. He was only repeating what Ahsoka stated to them, so his mindset was: "alright, you called yourself a citizen, then you shall be treated as such". Yes, his tone might not have helped much, but he is right. Ahsoka could be disclosed what is highly sensitive and classified information. If they did, just because she used to be part of the Order, it is A MAJOR BREACH in security protocol.

To repeat: Windu is correct to tell Tano that she cannot be disclosed what goes on in a Council Meeting or the situation of the war. It is all down due her status as a citizen. It would be a different story if after leaving the Jedi, she reinstated herself by enlisting with the GAR.

Just remember that despite misgivings, Windu is a highly valued member of the Jedi Order and a highly skilled one. He is also powerful in the Force. Before the war broke out in 22 BBY, he was trained as a Jedi Guardian, up to the events of TPM, he was already a Master of the Order and even one of the best swordsman of the time. He was first taught under Grand Master Yoda, then his years as Padawan up to the Jedi Knight Trials learning under Jedi Master T'ra Saa. At a very young agree too, he discovered his rare Force ability to see shatterpoints in the Force. This skill greatly aided Windu at how hissy would his future actions, along with the vulnerability of the opponents he faced. Because of his ability in shatterpoint, Windu even had glimpses into parts of the future of how he works build his lightsaber.

Windu also created one off the most difficult lightsaber forms that the Jedi Order forbade except to even and perhaps even his own student: Master Depa Billaba. Quinlan Vos is another notable practitioner. A counteract style to Form VII: Juyo. He created Vaapad, along with another Jedi Master named Sora Bulq. Quoting Windu on his description when he created the form:

"I created Vaapad to answer my weakness: it channels my own darkness into a weapon of the light." - Mace Windu

Windu had his own struggles with the Dark Side and he channelled that into a form. To use ones own inner darkness and channel it into a weapon of the light and not even fall in the process. It's an opposite of Juyo, the style being more of a 'state of mind' and not just another fighting style. To channel their own darkness and accept the fury of an opponent whereas Juyo as described by Kreia:

"Predictably, he seeks to unbalance you with his erratic attacks. His technique is called Juyo, the most chaotic of the lightsaber forms. This form sacrifices much to bolster offense, leaving one exposed to attack by the Force." - Kreia

This post had gone on long enough, all I'm saying is to maybe read the interaction between Ahsoka and Windu a little bit differently. Windu is correct not to disclose classified information, even council information especially with her status as a civilian. Perhaps don't be quick to judge Windu or even just think twice. Sorry for the long post, but I needed to get out of my head.
