The way Kishi makes a fool of Kakashi here though.

By this point, she has outright admitted that there’s absolutely nothing she can do for Sasuke, so those words are moot.

Kakashi also says that her feelings for Sasuke have “changed” and that they’re “on a whole different level”, yet her behavior is exactly the same from when she was twelve.

Kishi could’ve chosen so many ways to show actual progression to back Kakashi up, but he chose not to.

Not to mention, Kishi has Sasuke himself expose the clownery chapters later 🤡

Then we have Kakashi preaching about how she supposedly didn’t “want” nor “try” to make Sasuke hers —

Only for Kishi to confirm in the Gaiden that she chased after Sasuke even after Sasuke was saved by Naruto. So she very much wanted and tried to make him hers (🤡) and her novel (for those who take them into account) only makes it worse because it shows she wouldn’t take no for an answer.

But the worst offender is the fact that Kishi has Kakashi say that you don’t need a reason to love someone, because what undoes Sasuke in the end is understanding the reason Naruto goes so far for him.

So Kishi really grabbed Kakashi and made the poor man spout a bunch of non-sense to save-face since SS was going to be canon, but it’s obvious that not even Kishi himself believed any of it 🤡

In case you’re wondering, the next stage from “so many terrible things are happening at this moment all around the planet“ is “and i’m too tired to give a shit about any of them“. Don’t lock yourself in the mirror maze of terribleness.

Pick your battles. You won’t help anyone by watching the twitter updates of the suffering of the entire world, you’ll just end up feeling anxious and tired and powerless, and eventually, hopeless.

Find one main cause you’re passionate about, a couple of others that you support from time to time, a bunch you contribute to when you have the energy to spare.

Humans, having evolved in small social groups, have limited number of fucks to give about other people. You can’t save everyone. You can’t even help everyone. Feeling guilty about it won’t change these facts.

Pick you causes, pick your battles, find your time and ways to rest.

Because if you spread yourself across too many pieces of bread, you’ll end up empty,  and cynical and combative and finally too exhausted to type and to click links and to care about anything.

And then you won’t help anyone anymore until you heal.

Burnout is real. Rest, or your body will make you.

They are sniffing loudly; this is represented with the word ‘sniff’ being written in a very squiggly way next to their face. On the other side, with an arrow pointing to them, is a label that says ‘was put through the dryer three times’. end image description]

Hi! Have you watched The Gay Pirate Show (aka Our Flag Means Death)?

There’s great representation, cool costumes, complex characters and fascinating symbolism, of course, but I was asking because I’ve read all of your Javert character analysis.

I’ve noticed there’s an insane ammount of parallels to be made with Javert and the character of Izzy Hands (like their devotion to a flawed concept, lack of identity when said concept is taken away, inability to accept change in themselves and others, etc.)

So yeah! Really interesting stuff and I needed to share it with someone or I was gonna explode thank you

Sorry this got lost in my drafts for a bit! My thoughts after finally finishing the show: Honestly at first I didn't see what you meant about the Javert parallels, but after thinking about it I was like "ok I get it now, you make Points, Izzy makes me Understand why there's so much Valvert fanfic. " XD They're both obsessed with making everyone conform to Traditional Social Roles even when those roles are actively harmful to everyone including themselves. They obsess over upholding hierarchies while refusing to care about the human cost. And it’s tragic because the hierarchy they’re upholding is one where they themselves AREN’t in power; they’re upholding a hierarchy where they’re an underling whose role is to obey.

And then there’s a guy in a position of power over them (Valjean/Edward) who's supposed to follow a violent social script (as a mayor/captain/convict/pirate/etc). BUT that guy wants to be more gentle than someone in his role is "supposed" to be, he wants to be kinder than someone in that role is "allowed" to be. So Izzy/Javert both become uhhhhhhh interestingly Passionate about convincing the handsome strong man to stop being so gentle and Punish them like they Deserve. They scorn his kindness, deride his gentleness, demand that he act according to his place in the hierarchy, and want him to violently pin them against a wall and cut their throats. Kinky fanfic ensues.

....Though there's tons of differences between them obviously. XD In OFMD Izzy is explicitly Like That in large part because he's sublimating his sexual desires-- it's made pretty clear in the show that because Izzy lives in a culture where violence is the only "acceptable" form of intimacy between men, he channels all his desire for intimacy into a desire for being treated violently. Which again is kinda tragic in its own way. In Les Mis it's more like…"Javert is an authoritarian train wreck who doesn’t interact with other human beings as human beings— he treats everyone as symbols of their social roles who are obligated to always act according to their position in the hierarchy. He short circuits if someone stops ‘following the proper script”— even (or especially) if they’re doing it to be kind to him.” But queer readings of him can be interesting/fun when they’re done well too.

But yeah I guess my point is: both Izzy and Javert need to retire and stop self-destructively enforcing these Bad systems that hurt everyone including themselves :P. I mentioned before that my dream Javert redemption arc is him quitting his job after his ACAB realization and becoming a gardener, and honestly, I think Gardener Izzy would be really fun too. Just angry horrible dudes getting a new start, furiously planting flowers and learning self-care. I just think it would be funny

Tl:DR: you make Points and I can’t believe I didn’t make the connection til you pointed it out XD
