Wrote it!

Obito woke up to the press of weight over him. He blinked blearily upwards, eyes sticky and mind disoriented from sleep as he tried to understand what was happening. When he finally processed the fact that there was someone hovering over him, someone who must have broken into his home, he jolted fully awake, nearly throwing himself off of the bed before he realized exactly who the intruder was. "Wha— Kakashi?" Or, Kakashi time travels back to his genin days. Obito is appropriately confused.

Obkk oneshot with outsider POV (Obito) of time traveler Kakashi where the first thing he does after the time travel is break into Obito's house and creepily watch him sleep (he's convinced he's hallucinating)

Chapter 8 is now up! I wanted to draw for it but my tablet pen is broken. Maybe later?

Ichigo has a nice time experiencing family lunch time in the Uchiha main house. Also; politics.

This one leans so hard into domestic Sasuke and Itachi (and Mikoto but let's be real the real gut punch is the boys) I don't know where it all came from but they were so fun to write

there seems to be a bizarre issue that everytime someone puts in an image in their desc, after a day or so it is no longer visible or its just a question mark.

That is likely because you are using a Discord link to post your images. Recently, Discord has made it so that image links taken from Discord will break after 24 hours. Please use another image hosting site, like Imgur!

I need tumblr's help on this one because I only have 5 days left (until June 5) and it's not working out. I'm writing my master's thesis on the video game industry and I've distributed a survey around but barely have ANY answers. It should only take 5 minutes to complete. Please, at least reblog this to help me out I'm desperate.

link to the survey here

I'm so fucking glad I wrote down my plans for one step three steps bc I'm reading my notes rn like "fuck I for sure would have forgotten this" (bc I did)

Getting pumped about future plans again tho suddenly I feel motivated to write more. I'm like 3/4ths done with the next chapter I just gotta find a way to get Ichigo out of the scene

Looking up some things has turned into reading the last 100 or so chapters of the "Naruto" manga for fun, because why not. Some random assorted notes so far (as of finishing Chapter 661):

This end fight is so fucking long, there are so many characters, and the pacing is bordering on excruciating. There's some stuff happening here that's delicious, but there's a lot of messy back and forth that I personally am not fully vibing with. I cannot imagine trying to follow this split story weekly. This is common enough to a lot of big shounen mangas.

I generally like the basic artstyle here (the use of white and black especially), but the quality of page composition, panel composition, and scene clarity generally is obviously suffering heavily from these chapters being pushed out too quickly. I can barely tell some characters apart and some panels are just messes of lines. This is also common enough among mangas, so eh, it's also whatever.

It's kind of funny to me how Hashirama and Tobirama and Minato suddenly become major characters for like a solid 30 chapters or so. Like, yeah, I can see why Founders Era fic is popular. The flashback chapters themselves are pretty short, but Madara is one of the main villains in this fight, and the undead Senju brothers are suddenly here to kick ass on a level apparently far beyond most other characters. The grudges and betrayal here are delicious. These are also the people who founded Konoha itself, the main location of the manga for hundreds of chapters now, honestly not that many generations ago. It also helps that the Founders feel like they have nicely complete tragic arcs to work with, instead of the relatively open-ended narrative mess that the main Naruto characters live in.

Also, Hashirama can definitely act the idiot and I think some of his choices / interpretations are stupid as hell, but he's obviously a very clever and observant and ruthless person. Tobirama went on to become Hokage after his brother and will not hesitate to forcefully give his opinions, but it's also clear in some scenes that Hashirama is still the one in charge between them. Tobirama seems to fairly naturally fall into a very useful support role to whoever he's fighting with, including Minato and Naruto.

I like both Minato and Tobirama because I have a weakness for characters who engage with their magic systems to make new things. Minato improved on the Flying Thunder God technique and Orochimaru improved on the Edo Tensai technique, but Tobirama invented BOTH of those things? PLUS Shadow Clones??? All of which are basically carrying a significant part of the battle right now? Like, damn, Hashirama has his Mokuton, and Tobirama was stubbornly like, "Not being left behind. Fuck you."

So, yeah, the "Hashirama versus Madara", "Tobirama versus Madara", "Minato (plus Naruto & Tobirama) versus Obito", and "Kakashi versus Obito" are probably my favorite parts of this. Not knocking on Naruto or Sasuke or the large background mob of characters here, but they just do not have the same personal, ugly, emotional history in this fight, so I don't really care as much.

Ino can forcibly link hundreds of unknown minds together so Shikamaru can broadcast battle plans??? Holy shit??? The vibe I'm getting is that she was using the link apparently created by Naruto's chakra to do this, but still. Both Ino and Sakura have the potential to be incredibly OP and they are generally just... Not Allowed to take the spotlight.

Shikamaru had this big dramatic chapter about surviving to become Naruto's future advisor someday, and I had to repress the urge to holler, "Gaaaaay!" at the screen. I do love the inherent homoeroticism of a right-hand man. (Also, *waves a hand vaguely* Gaara's whole everything.)

To be honest, though, I'm not even sure what Sasuke has spent the past fifty chapters doing. He's there! He sure is there! I think he just got stabbed, so now he gets to be emotional motivation for Naruto again. As far as I understand it, not being sure what Sasuke is actually doing sums up basically everything he does in the manga. There are too many characters here.

On that note, the vibe I'm getting from Orochimaru is that he's also mostly just here to spectate. Like, yeah, I know. Characters like Orochimaru and Sakura and Tsunade are keeping everyone alive with their bare fucking hands right now, but also, give Orochimaru some opera glasses and an alcoholic beverage and it wouldn't feel that out of place.

I'll probably have more to add at some point, but these are the (not that serious) notes off the top of my head.

Due to budgetary constraints we do not have the resources for any Ship of Theseus bullshit and we have chosen death over continuity.

this is my favorite reddit thread of the day and i want to share it with you all

Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr's terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site's culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?

As pride month begins, let us not forget our Palestinian brothers and sisters.

I hate the human body because I'll get like 5 hours of sleep and be falling asleep at work, my balance totally thrown off and my vision unfocused. But then I'll get 2 hours and suddenly I'm hyperfocused and perfectly functional, ready to take on the day with the slightly detached mania of a man on a mission.

And then no matter what amount I get I go home and lay down to sleep "good this time for real I promise" and suddenly no, I'm not tired, it's fanfiction time actually.
