I want to see characters being taken care of in an explicit and worshipful way. Home-cooked meals. Hair brushed and braided by gentle hands. Little gifts just because.
I want to read about characters who are not used to kindness being bombarded by acts of service. This trope works romantically and platonically. Give me found family and acts of service - all the ways a character is wrapped up in wordless, explicit care after years of cruelty and having no idea how to handle. I need it.

wow i love twitter sm.
on a serious note - i think it's funny to portray women not wearing make-up as silly and childish when you're the one apparently caring so much about what other people are doing to their faces.
ask yourself: why do you find bare faces not appropriate for formal events? why does it bother you to see a woman without makeup? how does it effect you? why do you think it effects you?
you're so insistent that there are no societal pressures at play, that women are doing this exclusively for themselves and for the joy of it - then where does this urge to force it on women who don't find joy in it come from? why does it annoy you to see women in their natural way of being? it's a choice, but also there's a right choice, apparently, and anyone stepping out of line shoud be promptly shamed into submission. right?
"a little (whatever) never hurt anybody" okay and neither does a bare face. grow up.

something something one of those those "Jango falls for Courtesan/Stripper/NightclubSinger/TrophyWife!Obi-Wan" AUs...
But instead Obi-Wan actually being a sex worker, he's undercover and still a Jedi, and either:
They split ways and run into each other a few months later with Obi-Wan in full Prude Beige Knight mode
OR
The situation goes pear-shaped while they're still flirting and Obi-Wan has to break cover to grab a senator and jump out a window and suddenly this half-dressed glittery Person is batting away shots with a lightsaber
and there's a bratty twelve-year-old who ALSO has a lightsaber threatening people with I Will Eat Your Liver if they keep staring at his dad's ass just because the sequined sheathe dress tore in a sexy place

An interesting thing that just struck me about the raid montage in s2e1 - we don't really see Ed directly participate. At all.
He seems mostly to be just kinda...standing there, with this strikingly blank expression.
He licks frosting off a knife while everyone else is fighting, not having moved from that spot. In another raid, he lights his pipe and we can see fighting in the background, but he's not involved. Everyone else is doing the actual raid. He's not really doing anything at all, doesn't have any weapons at the ready despite how they're strapped all over him, doesn't even watch his back.
(Gif by @unearthlydust)
The closest he comes is shooting a gun, once, at someone who just fell down and had a sword sticking out his chest. If that guy wasn't already dead when he hit the floor, he was going to be soon. That shot Ed fired didn't mean much in the long run. That was performative at best.
So why do we see Ed not participating in these raids, clearly just going through the motions? I don't know about you all, but it reminds me of how, when he's trying to get the crew to mutiny on him and they're being tossed around in the storm, we see everyone else scrambling to hold onto things but Ed just spreads his arms wide, not holding onto anything. He's not even wearing shoes in this scene, so he has no traction at all.
It's like he's just waiting for random chance to kill him.
