the worst part of writing is when you realize you accidentally gave a side character a better arc than the main character.

always thinking about kakashi hatake being the epitome of a ninja. he is the leaf villages greatest success. he is proof their indoctrination works, that a person can suffer horrible tragedy and grief over and over and still lay his body down for the same institution that caused his trauma. he is konohas greatest achievement and that is so sad

[rogue205]

i am so amused. people are SOOO PRESSED about sakumo getting a funko, and it couldnt be more funny to watch them suffer lmao.

"all 12 sakumo fans thriving rn" "name one sakumo fan" "bro had 5 mins of screentime"

just say you dont have taste ;))

This also establishes to me that Konoha does NOT deserve the Hatake clan.

They turned on Sakumo after one call that THEY felt was bad and even started judging and sneering at Kakashi too whenever he was around his dad which, I read, was part of the reason for Sakumo choosing what he did. Kakashi as an adult is also ridiculously under valued too by Konoha.

I also read that the reason Sakumo was overlooked as a potential candidate for Hokage after the Third despite his power, was that he was not as ruthless when dispatching his enemies as others like Jiraiya and Minato were. He was “too soft”.

That and I am convinced that Danzó, that 🤬, had something to do with how fast the village turned on Sakumo(he probably tried the same with Minato too, Danzó wanted the position for himself after all).

the official naruto website's article for Sakumo's birthday just teared my heart out and threw it away.

Sakumo was perhaps too kind for the life of a ninja.

thats what Ive been screaming about for 3 years now. exactly that. word for word. oh my god I'm gonna just cry in a corner for this sweet old man, who deserved nothing but a happy little life with his son. goodbye.

Happy birthday, Sakumo 😭💖

Okay, a few more things now that I’ve sat down and ATTEMPTED to watch Boruto. Is it just me, or does that show have terrible writing? I mean, it’s pretty bad and I guess another failing point for it in my own opinion is that Kakashi is barely in it. Boruto himself is also way more annoying to me than even Naruto.

I have nothing against the guy but honestly, I think Shikamaru’s supposed intelligence is largely overhyped. I know they have other characters, including Kakashi himself who is toted as a once in a generation Genius, state that he’s smarter than everyone, etc etc, but I haven’t really seen anything that Shikamaru can do in terms of genius that cannot be easily replicated by other smart people like say Kakashi or even Sasuke. I don’t think making him the Eighth Hokage either was the right call but… what do I know. Yes, he was Naruto’s right hand, 2nd in command and was probably the only choice but that’s just my opinion. It also continues the trend of current Hokage connected to previous Hokages because his teacher was the son of the Third.

Back to Kakashi, it is super nice to know that I was apparently wrong during my last rant. It is established by words, but not shown, that he is currently even stronger now than he was during the fourth Shinobi war.

I can see why Kishimoto had to take away the Sharingan after the final battle because with it at that point, DMS Kakashi was WAY overpowered. He was effectively more powerful than almost every other character in the verse. Understandable about the loss but it still sucks. Kakashi also doesn’t get acknowledged for this feat either, with so many people gushing over ‘how powerful Obito should have been’ instead. Uhhhh… not really. Obito doesn’t have Kakashi’s abilities or power either, which would have been needed to reach the level that DMS Kakashi had. This was pretty much them together.

People are so quick to discredit Kakashi, even stating that he should not have even been made Hokage. What? He was one of the stronger Hokages in my opinion, and did a LOT for Konoha during his tenure, the least of is establishing peace and managing to hold it, actually fulfilling what the First wanted, even preventing an attempt to start another war, until Naruto takes the mantle(of which then the peace fails of course because Naruto must be a war-time Kage). “Kakashi didn’t establish peace, Naruto did!” Yes and no. There were three people(kinda four if one counts Sakura) involved in that battle. NOT just Naruto.

Below are two YouTube videos I want to share because I think they put down the points better than I can. I’ll also never not share anything that talks about how badass Kakashi really is.

Rant Number …… who knows

Another unpopular opinion here, I’m assuming.

So I recently got back on the Naruto train again after my latest break as I have done several times over the years. And as an adult, a few things jumped at me more than when I enjoyed this in my younger years and refused to be silenced.

1.) Naruto is very pointlessly OVERpowered to a STUPID degree. I mean, I get it, he’s the protagonist but with him around, everyone else just needs to retire from/not even train to become a Shinobi because he’s there. Oh, “at least they took away his God-Mode after the war”. Well, yeah. The least they could do. Him being the protagonist also sucks for me because I find a lot of his mannerisms really annoying. “Talk-no-Jutsu” is stupid too, like did NO ONE else ever consider that? No? It only works because it’s the protagonist, got it. Do NOT get me started on the fact that during Part 1, Naruto is basically between 12 and 13 years old and he had already created a jutsu that turns him into a sexy naked girl. God, I don’t even want to know why he thought of that. Even if it’s possibly Jiraiya’s influence, that’s almost even more disturbing.

2.) I don’t get everyone being so terrified of Itachi. He’s one of my favourite characters, not gonna lie, but people clearly more powerful than him are scared of him. Why? Seems the most consistent reason is the creators have a hard-on for either the Uchiha Clan or just Itachi in general. He definitely is a highly ranked ninja, no doubt but come on.

3.) Kakashi was nerfed at the end to to a large degree. And he’s my #1 favourite character so this annoyed the ever-loving hell out of me. I’d think losing the Sharingan like that should have actually AMPLIFIED his chakra reserves now that this almost parasitical thing isn’t constantly draining him anymore but nope! Can’t have him be MORE cooler and badass than the story’s central character! Even though he already is, let’s get real. I mean, his father was confirmed to be on the same level(if not higher than) the ‘legendary’ Sannin in terms of power so why stunt Kakashi like this? To make the new generation look better and more powerful than they are. (Same deal with Gai, honestly. At least he got to go out by handing Madara his own hind quarters.) Skipping over the 10-15 years Kakashi served as Hokage just so they could rush into Naruto’s bugged me too. Who else wishes we got a FULL series of Kakashi Gaiden? So many missed opportunities.

4.) Apparently any kid who has dreams of becoming the Hokage but doesn’t have a link to or is related to previous Hokages can just forget it. I noticed this before but Imma post it for old time’s sake. I mean seriously…

First/Second: Brothers

Third: trained by the previous

Fourth: Student of the Third’s student and only because said student didn’t want the position

Fifth: Descended from First and trained by Third

Sixth: trained by Fourth

Seventh: Son of Fourth, ‘distantly related’ to Fifth(overpowered much) and trained by Sixth

And now it seems people are of the opinion that the eighth Kage could be Sarutobi’s grandson, Naruto’s kid or Sasuke/Sakura’s kid with a few others tossed in. I wonder why every kid in the Academy isn’t fighting tooth and nail to get onto any possible “Team 7” since that seems to be the lucky one if you want to progress in Shinobi politics.

My rant.

Sakumo Hatake is a gods damned fully certified BADASS who definitely has a massive wolf summons(and the vaguely chaotic energy to go with it) and no one will ever change my mind.

I was thinking about the summoning technique that Sakumo Hatake might have. We settled on an okami wolf named Ekiju

Exactly.

"You can't be mad at T0ny for Ultr0n! He has anxiety!"

Pretty sure authoritarianism is still wrong even if you have a doctor's note.

What also got me here is Tony’s intention according to those that helped make the movie.

He wants to murder Bucky also in order to punish Steve. “You love this thing so much so I’m gonna take it away from you.” Just… damn.

Found this on Facebook.

Kenobists will forever live in denial though. The woobie has to be the best at everything after all. Let’s not forget though that Obi-Wan used anger to get the upper hand and take out Maul (*cough*hypocrite*cough*).

Anakin killed TWO Sith Lords. Three if you count himself. He killed Dooku, Sidious(MaRey Sue’s “fight” was a joke and bad writing all around), and Vader(who was killed when Anakin resurfaced).

If Eddie leaves 9-1-1 for good, I’m done with the show. Honestly, it seems that ABC has turned it into a soap opera anyway.

Finally got around to watching “Twisters” now that it’s free on Amazon.

That beginning of course also has to start with an EF5 just like the original. And god lord did they copy almost exactly from the first one although Kate seems to be so perfect that she can just tell stuff from only looking at it. I was gonna say at least Jo needed her equipment but she and Bill pulled the same trick so 🤷

I have to say that there’s no way in hell Kate should’ve survived while the other three died in the beginning. In reality, she would’ve gotten sucked right out alongside her boyfriend from that underpass.

When Kate accuses Javi of not knowing what loss was only for him to call her out about the events that happened five years ago, where he lost three friends because she was too eager to get that grant for her project… he wasn’t wrong. They both needed to apologize for that butting of heads, not just him but Kate doesn’t bother and even takes his research. Frankly, she used and abused the hell out of him this whole movie. He deserved better.

Basically the only plus for the movie is that real scientists have confirmed that Kate’s project is legit but would require tons more material than what they used in the film and it would also require a greater time period.

I need to do this 😅

So I don't loose where this is

i made a whump wheel

want to beat up a character but don't know how you wanna do it? same here, friend. behold, the whump wheel! it currently has 60 different prompts/tropes on it and is ready for use! 🎉 i...love this thing. it is wonderful for writing exercises. (if you wanna know what's on it before using it, take a peak at the screenshot below)

God I am so happy Yellowstone is ending.

I hate how everyone pretends Beth is this perfect little angel under her pettiness, rage and massive red flag behavior while Jamie is the bad guy just basically because he was adopted and isn’t a “real Dutton”.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s like ONLY Wes Bentley cares about maintaining Jamie’s actual characterization and progression. And unfortunately, quite a bit of Jamie’s AND Beth’s character development has been thrown out the window for this annoying spat they’re trapped in. 

Looks like this season may be giving viewers what they want too and have Beth successfully turn Kayce against Jamie finally. How their sibling relationship was should’ve been none of her damn business but she’s petty and a b*tch frankly.

Jamie is only indirectly responsible for what happened to John at best. Sarah is the guilty party but then again, he doesn’t turn her in either sooooo… 🤷‍♀️ “He had John killed to save himself”. By that reasoning, almost every Dutton is considered a coward. Beth and John basically brought this on themselves because Jamie tried several times to get away and ‘quit’ the family but both of them kept dragging him back by any means necessary, Beth mostly because she wanted to “keep control” over him. Petty.

Speaking of, I just know Beth will finally get the better of Jamie at the end and since it’s basically been confirmed that Rip is going to take over the ranch, we will be left with him and Beth metaphorically riding off into the sunset together. 🙄 Ugh. So what then? She’ll gradually adopt more kids that she will then be abusive as hell toward? Okay.

The Old Guard 2 in post-production? Still?

Doesn’t matter, that means it should be released soon enough. I’ve been waiting for this one! Netflix better not be lying again!
