Gotta love that we have nearly all the named konoha kunoichi (minus Tsunade, Kurenai, and a few other even more minor kunoichi)
AND YET. the guys still outnumber them.
Still. 5/12 is still way more than we usually get (since it's normally teams of like 1/4 to 1/8 or so)
Wow the female characters ratio in naruto is absolutely atrocious.
#speculation nation#fanny watches naruto#still tho. im happy to see these 5 here. i'll savor the Almost half of the whole group ratio while it's here#of course 4 out of 5 of the girls are on the sealing team bc they have 'better chakra control'#aka 3 of them are medical ninja. and then theres hinata who's a gentle fist user.#naruto even comments on this. says girls must just have better chakra control. then points out that Tenten is Not on the sealing team#bc she is Not as good at it. that girl's a weapons nut. thank you.#i do love this anime so dearly but the misogny in the writing is so continuously vexing.#like better chakra control sounds like a good thing. except then you realize that's because they lack the brute force of the guys#even sakura and tsunade. known for their super strength. it's because of chakra control rather than pure muscle.#and this turns into many of the girls being healers (because it requires chakra control)#which means they end up shoved to the back and out of action Most of the time.#if they do get a moment up front it's very brief and they end up injured.#hinata who became a captive in that crystal. ino who ultimately did very little in the Avenging Asuma plan.#and ykno Tenten is here at least instead of being ignored like she is Most of the time#but her fighting ability is still far too basic. she's on a team with Neji and Lee for gods' sake! the taijutsu freaks!!!!#her entire thing is physical attacks. kenjutsu and shurikenjutsu. why not taijutsu too??!?#bc that would have a girl fighting with her fists rather than just throwing weapons. and we cant have too much of That.#sakura's most of the allotment to that. hinata should be doing that too but she just kinda sucks shit in battle.#shes trying her best but Wowza. kurenai is Not doing a good job at training her.#we have all these female characters but most of them r gonna be busy sealing#and i bet most of the fighting is gonna fall right back on the guys. frustrating.

tw // period mention, allusions to suicide + self harm
to my fellow selfshippers with pmdd:
your f/o loves you so much. they would do anything to help you get through any bad periods you might be dealing with.
they would be especially protective of you during this sensitive time of the month. if you asked, they would put away any sharp objects to keep you safe. they would bring out your safety plan, or if you don't have one, they'd help you make one, paying special attention to recognizing your triggers and finding what helps your unbearable mood swings feel more tolerable. personally, it helps me to visualize my future and look at comforting pictures to reinforce those goals, so imagine your f/o doing something like that with you-- if it helps, of course.
they wouldn't feel burdened by your intense emotions. they would try to remain in-tune with how you feel-- at least to the best of their ability. if you track your cycles, they would try to get involved, pointing out when you might start experiencing severe symptoms and helping you plan accordingly. they'd give you attention if you need it, and they'd give you space if that's what you prefer.
if you said something you don't mean, they wouldn't take it personally. they would gently accept your apologies and, if you're like me and you need these reminders, they would reassure you that your dark thoughts, your outbursts, your nightmares-- your symptoms-- do not define you.
on a lighter note, they would supply you with everything you need to satisfy your cravings and soothe your cramps. to them, your pmdd doesn't make you a worse person than any other period-haver. they would be glad to stick with you through the bad and the good. they love every part of you, not just those that they deem "easier to deal with." ♡
(pro/comship please do not interact. non-pmdders are free to reblog, but please do not derail the subject of this post!)
#self ship#self shipping#selfship community#self ship positivity#f/o imagines#fictional other#safeshipping#safeship community#pmdd#premenstrual dysphoric disorder#tw period#tw suicide#tw self harm#cw period#cw suicide#cw self harm#so to make a long story short. i stopped taking birth control bc i got really sick and it landed me in the hospital#i was planning to stop taking it anyways bc i figured it wasn't helping. well. two months later and i'm having the worst episode i've had#since maybe early last year or the year before?#it's horrible. i wouldn't wish pmdd on my worst enemy. i felt like i was being possessed by a fucking demon.#i genuinely felt like i was experiencing a mental breakdown today. and it sucks because i really thought i was getting better.#so now it's a matter of either getting back on birth control and living with chronic pancreatitis or just sucking it up and hoping i don't#get to a point where i make an attempt.#this is so fucking awful. i had a fucking panic attack because i thoroughly convinced myself that my mom died.#i'm sorry for going off in the tags. i don't see my therapist until tomorrow and i really don't know if i can make it until then#it doesn't help that this semester is already off to a bad start. one of my classes is already being canceled and i need it for one of my#programs.#anyways. fellow pmdders i love you and it sucks that we have to deal with this shit. i hope it gets better. i hope it gets better for us all

And she fucking needs to reschedule her appt. She always wants to do it together with someone. But no. Of course you wouldn’t be able to sleep if you never sleep at those hours anyway. Of course not.
And fine. We’ll reschedule bc what other choice is there. But. Yeah. “I’m sorry”
I gave up my weekend to cater to this bc otherwise I could’ve gone another day to get my new Covid vaccine. I could’ve booked for another time. I could’ve used this day to go in and borrow dad’s car so I could’ve gone to a waterfall or beach even though it’s freezing.
And now I’m probably going to have to give up next weekend - ASSUMING there’s appointments left for then. My last two day weekend before my semester starts and I split my days off. Which is fine. It’s my choice. But I was hoping to do some stuff on my own :(.
And she probably doesn’t. Fuck. I still need to take her for bloodwork (overdue) and picking up an updated will since the sis and I are adults now and it might be A Thing that it needed to be updated. And not to be like especially given their health and that they’ve both had Covid now. But. I worry. I’m not really in a position to be able to support the household even if we inherited and there aren’t taxes. But I’d have to hold it together. I’m older.
She won’t drive herself to go do these things.
(But I have to drive myself now if I can’t bus there).
And I get having anxiety. I am anxious too.
But for it to get so bad years and years ago that it severely affects your family AND your family has asked you to get help several times (on a regular basis too. Bc we’re not professionals and can’t really help you. Especially when you don’t even agree to come along and just sit in the car as I drive around) it’s frustrating. (How would we have turned out if you had actually sought help for your mental illness? And why do I just KNOW that you’ll blame yourself for our mental illness. That we have to hide any attempts to better our own so that you don’t blame yourself?)
Who could we have been if any of us had been diagnosed?
I shouldn’t have had to deal with that as a child. In elementary school. Especially when I was already suicidal on my own anyway.
And yes. I resent you.
“I bet you wish for a different mother”
Yeah. One that fucking tried a little bit harder to get help before it got this bad. Before having us preferably. One that when asked to get help - agrees. Even if we’d have to arrange and just get you in the car and escort you there.
One that even occasionally stuck to anything you say you’ll do.
When I couldn’t even rely on you as a child. An older child.
“At least I raised you to not do drugs or lie. Or drink soda.”
I never felt safe to tell the truth of course I lie to you sometimes. I’ve craved nothing more than the sweet release of oblivion sometimes. Painful violence with flavour isn’t fun.
And then now. You’re. Even now. You’re so judgemental. “You’re such a rebel now”
For what?! Getting tattoos?! That I’ve always wanted!!
I am frustrated.
You wonder why I try to go out of the house and do things?
I hate staying here. But where else am I going to have so much space? And not have to pay a formal rent?
Urges are there. But. Can’t. It never helped to hurt myself anywhere near as much I needed. And I have healing tattoo and touch up’s right now. Im ok though. I don’t. I don’t do it like that.
I need food is what I need but fuck I’m annoyed.
#vent#family#shattered fragments#honestly I slept like shit too. I passed out after dinner and woke up about midnight and then had to go back to bed#and convincing myself to get up to brush my teeth took until past two am#but I did sleep#tw#anxiety I guess.#just. lots of family shit#and it’s just. when you rely entirely on somebody else to take you to do things. please.#either admit you’re disabled and try to access the very few benefits that might be available to you#or get in the fucking car when I need you to#and I know it’s not that simple and that disability SUCKS here#but I work full time and go to school and have hobbies and things I like to do#so when I give you my options of when I’m free to help you get to things. for fucks sake I planned my week or month around it.#I’m not a caretaker by any means#but I feel like I have to be#real reason to find love/get married: moving out 😭#but then I’d just feel guilty for leaving. bc then who would help?#and I’d have to probably just drive back and do it all anyway#like hey. mum. you remember how burnt out you were caretaking for grandma? without any other job or school to do?#*you’re going to do that to me*#and I KNOW part of it is almost definitely that we’re nd. but FUCK.#and I’m so exhausted by having to always concede to you.#like we get it. but EVERY SINGLE TIME?#I have other stuff to do too. and you won’t taxi or drive yourself.#just. fuck.#but now I have less than an hour before I need to go for my own. and I need to reschedule hers before I do so she’s not a no show

I haven’t been able to write much recently because of exams, but good lord, Dr. Laurence Frost is such a guy. Like, his situation is horrific, right. He’s living a psychological horror story but does not recognize that whatsoever. There’s some real shit going on with him because I really want to capture how cults actually work, especially on the ways they prey on vulnerable people - and despite him objectively being a pretty terrible person in his own right I wanna make sure I capture the nuances of his situation accurately.
However, and this is really important: he’s also fucking hilarious.
Imagine having resting bitchface so severe even the dawn machine leaves you the definition of -_- <- having a great time. He invented a genuinely impressive treatment for migraine headaches out of love & devotion and then immediately used that same formula to torture rebels. Despite being an utter shell of grief at the time he was still a decent guardian to Bev. He let Bev play with matches. And chemicals. He’s the only man on this Geode with a smidge of self awareness. His gift for Vincent’s stag party was cosmogone laced cocaine. Vincent chose him to be the godfather of his child. His closest direct inspiration is the fucking 300% fatality surgery guy. He works two jobs. Canonically he has no friends. I love him.
#zeeposting#the hell scarred surgeon#the gregarious commander#officer beverley#you have to understand how funny this man is to me#like yes he got sucked into a cult by the only person who provided him kindness#during the worst time in his life#and then found out years later that he had been stalked & all their coincidences had been planned long in advance#but at that point he just kinda went ‘that doesn’t change anything I love you’#but. like.#holy shit he’s funny.

Oh fuck tomorrow I'm going to be a little birthday boy I keep almost forgetting
#it's probably bc i dont have specific plans im just playing it by ear based on how the newborn will be#(the amount of time I'll be needed w the other kids basically depends on how much sleep the parents got the night before lol)#so i dont wanna be out too late... ahh i miss the club bro i wanna go#i love kids just to be clear which is why i do this but i also think I've gotten any child rearing out of my system#so i dont want my own. in a way it's freeing bc my future will just be for me and i won't have to worry about this stuff long term lol#ah but if I'm free on the 4th theres also something else i wanna do so maybe i shouldn't get drunk anyway#maybe just wait for the next free day 🤷♂️ we'll see#I've been highover BAD though shit lasted until like 8pm the next day. and i had to take the day off w the kids#luckily there happened to be other family there that took over but dude it sucked. i remember trying to help them in the morning like#ok sorry 4 year old trying to find pants i have to lay down in your bed you can do it by yourself i believe in you#so. taking the day off was a good call for their sakes too lol#he was fine just to be clear he could've done it on his own either way. i was just unhelpful 😅 i promise im usually way more attentive

for the megumi and the world's most inconvenient custody battle, i just head canon geto and gojo screaming at each other in front of kfc (AGAIN) and the conversation goes something like:
Geto: I HAVE MORE EXPERIENCE I HAVE TWINS AT HOME ILL BE A BETTER PARENTAL FIGURE THAN U!
gojo: THATS MY BABY I CHANGED HIS DIAPERS! HE CAME OUTTA MY WOMB! GIVE HIM BACK!
megumi and the kfc workers are so so done someone get these gay men couple therapy pls
i have so normal feelings for ideas i totally dont think about them every single day.
The funny thing is that Megumi actually have no awareness of Gojo at all during the custody battle due to the intricacies of the binding vow (there's a clause where Megumi has to kill himself if Gojo intervenes at all during the span of the agreement. Geto wanted the clause to be that Megumi has to kill his sister, but Megumi threatened to kill Geto and then himself if he made that the clause. Geto doesn't actually want to make Megumi kill himself, it's just a dead man's switch to keep Gojo from swooping in and ending the entire thing prematurely. There's nothing Geto can do to actually stop Gojo, but he can deter Gojo with the consequences of a binding vow which even Gojo cannot break, and he knows Gojo won't actually risk his son, so he'll let the entire thing run it's course naturally). So it's just:
Megumi: *very grumpily going ice skating with Geto's twins because he's under binding vow to play nice and cooperate with the cult members during the terms of the vow*
Geto and Gojo, squatting behind a vendor's cart: *having the world's quietest and most hostile divorcee bitch fight*
#jjk#Megumi just spends the entire time like: >:( *reluctantly cooperates in cutesy family bonding with this fucking cult*#The twins want to make him their new brother and he's like “i already have a sister i'm at capacity”#megumi is immune to all cult recruitment techniques because he carte blanche hates anyone mean to his sister#Gojo's biting his nails because geto revealed a lot of shit like “hey so gojo killed your dad” “hey so you actually have one of the most#powerful techniques in existence and gojo never told you“ ”hey so the entire jujutsu world thinks of you as the pet gojo keeps to prove he#can take anything from the zenin and get away with it“ ”hey so it DOES suck that you were forced to sell yourself into a deadly profession#“at a young age” and gojo can't even TRY to talk to him about all this until it may very well be too late and megumi's succumbed to his ex'#cult but it's all a total nonissue because geto said one (1) mean thing about his sister at the start of this and killed the entire plan#stone dead. like. sorry but megumi is not fucking with ANYONE who isn't nice to his sister. the only one who can be an asshole to her is hi

shogun (book) does the 'characters speaking in multiple languages' thing the best ive ever seen its so fuckign. the 'defaults' are typically either portugese or japanese and so those are written normally, with the exception that the japanese we hear from blackthornes perspective is either unintelligible (not direct quotes) or short words and phrases that he picks up (things like wakarimasuka and kinjuru are written just like that, and we the english reader learn what they mean as blackthorne does, so dont need translations evey time). japanese when heard from a japanese character's perspective is written in normal english, because its still the default, its their first, usually only, language. but it gets funky when youre speaking, say, latin, which they do sometimes. because blackthorne knows it fluently, but its not his first language (though neither is portugese) and its not the one he uses the most. so its written recognizably to us, an english-speaking reader, but in a way that makes it clear it is NOT portugese (default). so its written in this kind of old-englishy very elaborate style, with thees and thous and -ith at the ends of verbs and even just a different grammatical structure than normal english. "who giveth the sign? with importance it should be given quickly." <- not a sentence that comes naturally to english but it is A: recognizable as of the meaning and B: clearly Different. it signals theyre speaking latin even when the whole book is written in English and i think its NEAT
#shogun#im really liking this book dude. its a really interesting style but i dig it#the perspective hops around a bunch but most modern books split it cleaner#this chapter is from A perspective and this chapter is from B perspective OR you get a mix of everyone at once (true omniscent)#but this isnt either of those. it flips between character's minds without clear indication when the flip happens#so u read a chapter that starts from blackthorne's perspective and halfway through it switched to mariko's and you can only tell because#the narration now includes knowledge of what is being said in japanese. and then it switches to toranagas and youre seeing him think about#whatever plan hes concocting and then its back to mariko and she doesnt have all the information you just learned#there was a chapter with all the portugese priests together and it flipped between them so much and they got way into like. backstory shit#and thinking about what happened to get them here what they think should happen next and they didnt all agree#and its not CONFUSING but it is confusing sometimes. u understand#its really interesting tho i like it a lot#and also i actually like blackthorne more in the book than in the show. in the book hes worse#hes more brash and messy and selfish and hes just more of a dickhead and hes more clueless#all things he is in the show but they sanded him down a bit to make him a better love interest/main character#which is TRAGIC. hes so sucks in the book hes more fun and interesting. i like eet
