#I love casual Madara😍

[spideywhites]

Hi! I'm late, but 🌎 🌱 👗 🎵 💸 ⚰️ 🙏 😍 for Natsume? Pretty please?

[ 🌎 ] are there any aus you have for your muse? what are they like, and how is your muse different in them?

hm... i'm not sure how much i really want to give away. i have three potential AU ideas based on time travel what-if scenarios. in one, he ends up in the warring states era with sasuke (age 17, sent back after losing the 4th war). in another, he's around 19 (and im not going to talk about the state of his personality bc that's too many spoilers) and a sealing accident sends him into the canon universe just before naruto becomes a genin. in the last, him and obito are the last survivors of the fourth war and get bamboozled into the past - obito gets shoved back in his thirteen year old body, while natsume has to race to find him before madara does.

i've got a few others, mostly just casual ideas. like natsume in the bnha universe, or accidentally ending up in the marvel universe, etc, etc. honestly we'll see how many years it takes to finish the main fic lmao.

[ 🌱 ] what themes are relevant to your muse?

the ocean / spirals / crimson / camellias / ink / steel / the moon / blues / teeth / strawberries / parchment / libraries / open fields / winter / summer / sunsets / swimming

[ 👗 ] what is your muse’s fashion sense like? are they able to dress the way they want to? what would they wear in an ideal world?

natsume wears a lot of blue. he's a fan of cool tones, with hints of gold. he also wears black a lot, generally as underclothes - like a skintight black top, with a looser blue shirt / kimono / cardigan / jacket over it. he wears clothes that are practical and meant for shinobi. in an ideal world, he really likes the way intricate kimonos look but doesn't currently have the money for them, nor the knowledge as to how to wear them correctly. comfy clothes are preferred.

[ 🎵 ] is there a specific song or songs you associate with your muse? why is that?

seasons - greyson chance . just ,, an excellent song that showcases how natsume's character will change over time. exceptionally relevant to the theme of the whole fic.

make believe - the faim . very introspective and reflects a lot of what natsume's mental state is like for a good chunk of the child/teen years. i would say it centers on .... the part of the story where the greatest moment of change is drawing near.

used to the darkness - des rocs . very, very natsume. dark mode natsu. definitely a song i frequently listen to while trying to come up with fight scenes lol

[ 💸 ] if your muse had no shortage of money, what would they buy?

natsume is very practical. he'd buy a better house, plenty of gardening supplies for naruto, and hoard it away so they would always have enough to never need to turn to the shinobi lifestyle.

[ ⚰️ ] what are your muse’s greatest regrets? what would flash before their eyes when they’re on their deathbed?

shisui. not spending enough time with him, or appreciating him. anything else is spoilers.

[ 🙏 ] what does your muse need? this can be something material or something abstract.

a home. somewhere he feels he belongs. the ability to make his own decisions. to rest and be a child for once. to have someone shoulder the responsibility of raising himself and naruto. he just needs help, clarity, a purpose that is his own, someone to teach him how to love where he comes from and where he might go.

[ 😍 ] does your muse believe in true love? why or why not?

nope. he understands attraction, but is the dry, harsh type that thinks claiming to love someone immediately is stupid. you never love everything about the person you love, but you learn to live with the bits you don't like and find compromise. natsume thinks everyone has the capacity to love multiple people throughout their life, and that the person you think is the one might not be in a few years. life is messy and cruel but humans have this amazing resilience that allows them to move on.
