Suddenly Bowled Over By The Image Of Anakin With A Baby Ahsoka Strapped To His Front During The Middle

Suddenly bowled over by the image of Anakin with a baby Ahsoka strapped to his front during the middle of work. Ok I guess??

Ahsoka getting cursed into a toddler during the Clone Wars and Anakin is now suddenly responsible for a literal baby. He is now acutely aware of the fact that the 501st are in an active engagement and his protective instincts are dialed right up to max. They have to be pulled back from the front, a young padawan was pushing it as it was but this is a Babby.

He's having to think about what baby togruta eat. Ahsoka can't feed herself or defend herself or anything except wiggle around like a striped potato. Her montrols are non existant, just little nubs, and its almost bringing this Jedi Knight to tears with how cute she is. He knows she's a carnivore but surely they don't eat meat that early?? Do they need anything else to develop correctly?? Is he going to accidentally harm her somehow through neglect?!

Anakin: Master Ti, what do baby togruta eat??

Shaak: Pardon?

Anakin: Help.

She gets the explanation from Anakin in pieces and a better explanation from Kix. She can tell him how to look after her until they can reach Coruscant, milk if they have any on board will do fine in the interim and Ahsoka will like being bundled up. The pressure of being cocooned is soothing (thinking of Momma Tano strapping babby Ahsoka to her front but now it's Anakin making sure she goes with him everywhere) and will prevent her from becoming too agitated.

She keeps chewing on his leather glove when he holds her but he doesn't mind, and just lets her gnaw on his knuckles like a chew toy. Its not his flesh hand anyway so it's fine. He can’t effectively secure her to him on his own so he has to get Rex to help him do it properly with Shaak still on speeddial for instructions.

She can’t help but notice how oddly domestic the scene looks as Rex carefully wraps Ahsoka in her papoose cocoon to Anakin's chest. They're both cooing at her. Shaak cannot wait for a Council meeting to be called about this.

The clones are caught between being distraught at what's happened to their Commander, as well as thinking she's the cutest thing they've ever seen. Since Anakin is now focusing harder on keeping Ahsoka safe since she can't protect herself anymore, Rex has taken it upon himself to stick at their side even more than usual. Just a very protective satellite orbiting around both Jedi in case they need anything.

No, the other men are not jealous that Anakin automatically hands Ahsoka off to his Captain if he needs to be free if her for a minute or two.

Back on Coruscant he knows she's better off being handled by the creche but ... that's his Padawan, just small. Everyone on the Council had hoped he'd deal with a Padawan just fine but were admittedly a little surprised by just how well he took to it. Seeing him immediately throw himself into taking care of baby Ahsoka, and all her species specific needs, has a lot of them second guessing their assumptions of him.

It's Obi-Wan who eventually asks where his almost instinctual knowledge comes from. The answer is that Shmi Skywalker was the go to mum for any new mothers on Tatooine and there were quite a few in the slave quarters during Anakin’s time there. He learned by just being there to help out.

Obi-Wan: if you want to continue to care for Ahsoka, you could do so by just working in the Creche and helping there with the rest of the infants

Anakin: !!

honestly ladybug you’re lucky it wasn’t a musical

this started as an excuse to draw Marinette and Antoine cosplaying as Katara and Sokka and it just kinda... devolved

I could definitely see a potential future for the show start to head a Marichat sort-of direction, but in the snail's progress way the show just loves. I'm obsessed with the idea that Adrien thinks Marinette doesn't like Adrien but is in love with Chat, when it is in fact the opposite djkfhgjd

I can imagine that if Marinette and Chat Noir start dating, Adrien might start showing more affection towards Marinette, and Ladybug, to Chat, which causes a whirlwind of conflicting emotions like "oh so NOW you like me back??" you know. because who doesn't love unnecessary conflict :-)

also bonus:

TONIGHT on “Ballpoint Pen on Lined Paper Badfic Theatre!!” I revisited this time-travel shenanery, except this time Rex came along too. I figure any prison-type place worth its salt would confiscate all their armor and weapon accessories, but conveniently Rex somehow comes into possession of a hideous poncho thing to hide the highly suspicious Republic emblem on his chest. Also he has some kind of strange aviator Lawrence of Arabia hat thing, reasons for which include me wanting to draw him in a silly hat.

There’s probably some kind of violent political upheaval or gang war going on in these parts, with many fairly innocent people ending up incarcerated on trumped-up charges. So after this encounter it doesn’t take too long for both Obi-Wan and Ahsoka & Rex to come to the conclusion that the other(s) really are decent people, just caught in a bad situation. Though Ahsoka and Rex are such an odd duo that OW starts thinking that they might be unusual heart-of-gold bounty hunters. Far from being a damsel in distress, Ahsoka turns out to be a suspiciously good fighter, and on closer inspection OW sees she has a goddamn Akul-tooth headdress on. Can’t buy those at the bazaar. And Rex, though tough and older, seems almost deferential to her. Like a hired hand turned partner in semi-crime.

Mm I thought I had more to say but I guess I don’t (you’re welcome?) So here are a few more scribbles instead.

Oh wait right also there was something about a Mad Max style car speeder chase after they break out. Anakin is driving, Qui-Gon is on the hood deflecting incoming fire, Rex and Ahsoka are hanging out the sides shooting, and Obi-Wan is bleeding out in the backseat :D

Edit: This became a lot of semi-sequential posts. Here is the Next one!

Self indulgent au where Fives and Tup encounter Dogma in the Inhibitor Chip / Clone Protocol 66 Arc. Also they all live.

Extra rough doodle that I felt it didn't really fit anywhere at the above (and also I messed up on the clean up and just got sad).
