#Nara Fixation

[valdarian]

If there is anything that motivates a Nara, it’s curiosity. What’s more curious than the person that sparked such an intense reaction in their future leader?

Basically the premise is that Shikamaru’s clansmen/friends/cousins want to find out what’s so special about Naruto.

Only to have a…”Oh no! He’s hot!” moment.

Shikamaru isn’t having it.

[oldblog-batsyheere]

That one Naruto AU that I call Shadowed Sun AU where I've placed my favorite tropes of Naruto one after another and hit them with the que ball and scattered them so chaotically that one has to stick around to see how they come together.

Yet my favorite part of this au is the Nara Fixation rayshippou made that haunts me because it isn't a main part of the fic but is important.

[wrishwrosh]

just finished coming out under fire by allan bérubé, a major entry in the field of monographs where each successive passage makes you go ‘fuck me that’s the saddest paragraph ive ever read in my life’ and then the next paragraph is somehow even sadder

[nocusbonkus]

I didn't take it as an attack, I just disagreed with what you said. I wanted to take the opportunity to discuss two of my favorite characters, Shikamaru and Neji— Neji if I had to choose one :)

The caption was meant to be mostly humorous— I don't think being injured constantly is special to him, but commonplace with shinobi of his level. It's just especially obvious next to Shikamaru, who, like I said, is a much more conservative fighter (which brings him value as a leader) and who's safety is prioritized over others as their strategist (as emphasized by Asuma).

Canon, unfortunately, also has never been explicit about the working dynamics within the Hyuga clan. It's never been clear the kind of work Neji may or may not have under the head family outside of training Hinata.

If you mean whether or not I ship Shikamaru and Neji, yes, it was in the tags :) if you mean the dynamic NejiShika vs ShikaNeji— I personally do not care and I don't think they would either. While it is extremely delightful as a shipper to see them always beside each other in official art, I believe there was a thought process behind this. During the Sasuke Retrieval Mission, Shikamaru and Neji were prominent side characters that played similarly important roles within the arc. Secondly, they both have neutral, earthy color palettes (and other complimentary features) that are easy to pair up for the sake of composition.

It actually wasn't the official art that made me ship them, though— with how I binged Naruto, I barely saw any before I started slowing down post Season 5 😭. It was watching the Sasuke Retrieval Mission and witnessing how well they played off of each other, how seamless their teamwork, and how strong their field chemistry was that did. It's easy to brush off their dynamic as "two smart characters getting along", but I think it's more than that.

From the very beginning, Shikamaru established himself as someone Neji could trust to lead. Not only was he detail oriented, took everyone's capabilities into account and planned ahead, but that Shikamaru, someone the team is placing their trust in, trusts them in turn. Trusts Neji, especially, in turn. Neji, who is surrounded by Shikamaru's childhood friends who he'd trust and have close bonds with, was tasked with the most difficult job because Shikamaru recognized (and recognizes) his extremely robust skillset. Fandom forgets his genius, but Shikamaru never will.

But what really gained Neji's respect was Shikamaru explicitly stating that the most important thing about this mission was that they were rescuing a fellow Konoha nin, and that he was willing to lay down his life for that. That was the way of Konoha shinobi. Even though he didn't like Sasuke, Sasuke was a comrade and they were tasked with the mission of taking him back. Neji, an emotionally driven person, is shown that Shikamaru thought there was value in that way of thinking, that that was what was most important and what drives Konoha shinobi to do what they do, that he thinks this way too.

This sets up their dynamic for the rest of the arc. Shikamaru, who had already respected Neji as a shinobi, expresses this and is rewarded with Neji's trust. Neji, acting on that, cooperates extremely well with Shikamaru throughout the mission, going so far as being proactive about his role and not only doing what he was told to do. There is a stark difference between how Shikamaru leads the others vs Neji, in which he doesn't really lead Neji. He works with him. Shikamaru as their strategist needs constant information about their situation in order to do his job, and Neji with the Byakugan never fails to deliver this and more. He and Shikamaru bounce ideas off of each other and they only get more and more comfortable working together the longer they do. It was a little shocking to witness that, throughout one day, Shikamaru and Neji had gone from what they were before (which wasn't really anything and even a little negative), to co-leading the mission together. The mission where Shikamaru says if they don't do what he says, they'd die. Shikamaru, when he and Neji separately concluded that the team had to split up, appointed Neji as the leader for the other team, once again, over the rest of their teammates who are all Shikamaru’s childhood friends.

The preparation for the mission wasn't just a one-and-done trigger for their trust for each other and how well they'd cooperate together, however. You can see the gradual improvement of their teamwork throughout the day and how that also extends to their opinion of one another. Neji, having been proven wrong about Shikamaru being a wimp (his words), starts paying closer attention to him and tries to guess what he's thinking... Quite explicitly. He starts playing this role of "explaining what Shikamaru is thinking" to the rest of their team without ever being told what he's thinking by Shikamaru himself. Not only is he always right (no doubt because he is also smart), but Shikamaru even...likes that? Shikamaru always respected Neji, but I don't think he particularly cared for Neji as a person (probably thought he was uptight) until this mission. When the team was trapped in Jirobo's jutsu Shikamaru lied about betraying the rest of them, and everybody's trust (even Choji's, momentarily) in him wavered except for Neji's. Neji continued to observe what Shikamaru was doing (you can see him just staring at him in the background) and slowly piece together Shikamaru's strategy in his mind. When he tells the rest of the group what it was and only asking for Shikamaru's confirmation after, Shikamaru only gives his amused-smirk-huff thing as his answer. He then proceeds to ask Neji to throw a kunai towards a crater in the wall that everyone can see, instead of himself or Choji who was literally beside it.

That doesn't even scratch the surface of all the moments Shikamaru and Neji are curious of each other/express their trust in one another. I'd love to go on and on and I genuinely could make a break down on their relationship and how it changed during the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, but this is long enough as it is. This mission, though it's what started it, isn't even a fraction of why I ship these two together, either. I thought I'd elaborate as a treat for my fellow Shikanejis to find, as well :)

And lastly, being misogynistic isn't only applicable to heterosexual men, plenty of queer men are too. I think Shikamaru would be hard pressed to endlessly defend himself as heterosexual, as that'd take way too much time, effort, and a frustrating conversation he'd rather avoid. Would he claim to like men, though? I don't know. I personally see Shikamaru and Neji as a "it ended up happening" on Shikamaru's end. Funnily enough, I *do* think he has a preference for more feminine qualities, though I don't think he knows.

Preferences |Naruto Men X Reader| HC

Characters: Sasuke Uchiha, Shikamaru Nara, Naruto Uzumaki, and Kakashi Hatake.

Summary: Body type preferences???

Warnings: NSFW!!! They're all short but explicit so, yknow, beware.

- - - - -

Sasuke Uchiha

Honestly speaking, he doesn't care all that much. He doesn't pay much mind to physical appearance when he's actually considering someone. He's more worried about them meeting his ridiculously high standards when it comes to things like power and tolerability.

But he'd be lying if he said he didn't prefer someone with a little more in the back.

He walks a bit behind you when possible just to get a peak at your plump figure. He likes to trail his hand from a respectable place on your waist down towards your ass. He'll brush his hands over your behind, occasionally he'll offer a little squeeze if he's feeling frisky.

He prefers the cushion, the feel of his thighs and hips hitting something soft. He likes to hit it from the back, just because of the endless possibilities he has to get a taste. Petting, gripping, groping, spanking, anything just to show your nice ass some attention.

Shikamru Nara

There's nothing in this world that can't be fixed by lying on your chest. No amount of bothersome people or troublesome missions can ruin the utter bliss that is your soft tits after a long day.

They're truly the perfect pillow. Your warm body heat, your squishy chest, and the sound of your heartbeat never fail to calm his mind and ease him into what's bound to be a wonderful nap.

It's even better when you're on top of him, leaning down to give him a kiss as you roll your hips against his. The view is immaculate and all he can do is sigh in appreciation.

Maybe he's the one on top, sending slow thrusts your way. He dips his head against your chest so he can kiss, lick, bite, suck- whatever, as long as it means he gets to touch your pretty tits.

Naruto Uzumaki

He really hadn't given it much thought. Sure, Jiraiya was always going on and on about women, but Naruto was busy with a million other things.

But that was then and this is now, and this is you.

All he could think about was how good you looked in the latest modification to your uniform. He's not a pervert, he swears, but it's like your tits are calling to him. They're sat so pretty, practically on display for him and he can't help but oggle.

It doesn't help the way you push your arms together as you gush about your day to him. He doesn't know if you do it on purpose or not, but he absolutely buys into it any opportunity he gets.

One moment you're talking and he's listening, and the next he's just... not. His gaze is fixated on your chest and you immediately notice. You can't help but laugh and he can't help but watch as your chest jiggles ever so slightly at the action.

You pull at his hand, snapping him out of whatever dirty thoughts are running through his head, and lead him further into your home, straight to the bedroom.

Kakashi Hatake

He's a coneseuir of sorts. His preferred genre of books and practical experience have given him the tools to appreciate all body parts equally.

That being said, he's absolutely a thigh guy.

He's not quiet about his love for your legs. He'll stare and give snarky compliments when he's inevitably caught.

He'll take whatever you're willing to give. He'll bury his face between your thighs and groan when you squeeze them around his head as you cum. He'll fold you in half, digging his calloused fingers into your soft flesh. He'll run his hands up and down them when you're on top, only stopping to give you soft squeezes of approval.

Sun houses and fathers 🌞

Yoshitomi Nara

✨first post of 2024✨

take what resonates, leave what don’t 🎀 you don’t have to necessarily identify with it.

*I use whole sign system -house system- for more certainty

9H: you’re learning constantly from your dad. he teaches you what he’ve learned through his life. he’s teaching you about his mindset, the origin of his beliefs, why he stands for them. he could be someone very religious or faithful, and through that faith he could have teach you things he know now. also, he could be really philosophical and probably has a fixation with politics, investing. he could seem very patient or is constantly worried trying to understand how he can help you.

10H: your dad could be someone really hardworking, who you could have seen work really hard through all this years, making sure you’re satisfied in the economic and study aspect. he could have not been present too much when you were growing up and when he showed up he was too strict, he probably wasn’t conscious or didn’t know how to approach you -could be bc they thought him to bottle up his emotions-. you could end up studying/working on the same career/field your dad’s in.

11H: your dad it’s okay with who you are, or what side you show to them🧐. you’re their fav or they left you. you could feel like the only child/you are. he could seem too disperse, take it how you want to. idk why but mostly of dads of sun 11H are younger than what’s expected. he’s permissive. you were a spoiled kid, that has to do with your dad. “dreams” that word is important, he had a lot of influence and power over yours, he could have destroyed them or making sure you have all the resources -depending on the aspects-.

12H: your dad won’t judge your decisions or you. he’ll be a support. he could have difficulties to put limits in a father-son relationship, you could have felt stressed when you’re seeing how your dad is being bullied by your siblings bc of that attitude. you could have being the one who is protecting them or you’re the more serious/introverted one in the dynamic. or the total opposite: he’s too strict and you had to be careful on how to act. there’s something that happened there… you two could share something obvious, an interest, physical appearance, an adjective, etc. something everyone can point out. also, you could feel a strong or subconscious connection with your dad’s sight of the family.

5H: idk why I have the feeling you didn’t saw your dad for a long time and then you saw him, I’m trying to express that your relationship with him it’s not constant. he could be explosive or impulsive. he could contradict himself so much. he could have had you without planning it/unexpected -you were a surprise for him 🤩-. could be that your parents were young when they had you and etc. that’s why you’re like an experiment 😭 your dad doesn’t know how to approach you and he has a temperament. emotions here are fiery, when each other express their emotions they don’t take a seat and have a chat with a cup of tea, they’ll say how they feel crying and screaming.

6H: your dad could have OCD, no, I’m lying, but he could be really fucked up about order. “thinks have to be like this, why you didn’t let me this at this time?” Or the total opposite, not in the middle. he could get sticker in his routine and if things are not how he planned he get stressed. a perfectionist. he could be strict or conservative. he’s sarcastic, that’s why you could be sarcastic too. he’s hardworking and also could help on campaigns and etc. at some point you could have helped him on working on his health. and you could be the one who end up taking care of him/being the sibling who spends more time with him.

Kinktober Day 21: Squirting(It ain't a crime to be good to yourself...)

warnings/kinks: smut, squirting, kissing, post-war era, biting, mentions of smoking weed, unprotected sex word count: 0.9k pairings: Shikamaru Nara x Fem!Reader teaser: “Fuck, you’re so damn gorgeous,” Shikamaru comments, his large hands spreading your thighs. taglist: @beneathstarryskies @loki-love @witchofcustom @dreadsuitsamus @pyrofanatic

After the war, everyone started getting together. You and Shikamaru had always been really close, but things were different once you two began to grow up. Seeing all your friends hook up and get married made you both realize that maybe you should pair up and settle down. But it was different with the two of you. You had no real reason to want to get married so young, yet nobody could keep you away from Shikamaru.

Once the mental health clinic was established in Konoha, you began to work there as a favor to Sakura. She had saved your hide multiple times during the war, and you were a very empathetic and sweet person. So it just came naturally for you to want to work with the mentally ill. Your daily routine was simple, but it was during the night after your shift was over that you were able to get the release from the stress you needed.

It started off simply with going to visit Shikamaru and you both would sit on his bed, smoking joint after joint and talking about all kinds of things. You would often spend the night there, just keeping one another company. Soon, things took a turn to something more intimate.

One night, Shikamaru couldn’t keep his hands to himself. He had been fantasizing about you for so long. He knew he had a crush on you since you were younger, but damn, you had grown into such a beautiful woman. He had no idea how he got so lucky to have you even been somewhat interested in him, but he tried his best not to question that.

That night cemented everything for the both of you. You found yourselves falling even deeper in love with one another. And so began a routine that neither of you wanted to quit.

The night starts off with a hot shower for you when you arrive at Shika’s place. Then he feeds you a nice meal and then the two of you smoke joints like always. After the marijuana hits you, you feel so cuddly and want to kiss.

“I’m amazed how you always come back to me,” Shikamaru comments as he puts out the joint.

You laugh, “You have no idea how much of a catch you are, do you?”

He smirks as he leans in closer, your lips only centimeters apart. “Mmm maybe I need to hear it from you,”

It doesn’t take long for you to be tangled in his sheets, his lips all over you. Shikamaru has such a fixation for kissing you wherever his lips can reach. As he undresses you, he loves to leave love bites in his wake.

“Fuck, you’re so damn gorgeous,” Shikamaru comments, his large hands spreading your thighs.

You’re already dripping wet at this point. He’d only have to do so little to make you cum. But Shikamaru isn’t a half-measures kind of man. He’s someone who will fuck you until you’re absolutely begging him to stop. His fingers spread your soft folds, and then he leans in to kiss you.

“What’ll it be, princess?” He asks, his fingers just teasing your aching bud. “Wanna get on all fours and be fucked like an animal? Or do you crave some intimacy and want the mating press?”

You were the one who had taught him all these positions names. You were quite a bit impressed to hear him using the correct terms. You take a moment to consider it as he uses his thumb to circle your throbbing clit.

“Wanna kiss you,” You say, your voice laced with lust. “Wanna be able to look into your eyes.”

This makes his heart melt. He knows that you’re in love with him, and he feels the same about you. Just the thought of commitment scares him a little. Still, he pushes those thoughts away as he folds you into the perfect mating press. Shikamaru decides to tease you even more, using the head of his thick cock to rub up and down your soaked folds.

It feels like hours as he continues his ministrations. You try to beg for him to stick it in already, but he’s having too much fun with this. The look on your face when he finally does slide into you is priceless. And the moan that erupts from you once he’s balls deep is just so perfect.

Nobody has ever fucked you quite like Shikamaru, and he knows exactly how to stimulate your body in the perfect way. He’s no stranger to using his Shadow jutsu to keep you held in this position while his hands go about stimulating other parts of you.

With one hand on your throat and the other circling that aching little bud, you know you won’t be able to last much longer. You whimper and whine, choking out the warnings that your orgasm is so close. Your thighs are shuddering as his cock keeps bullying that sweet spot.

“Gonna soak me?” He asks, a cocky smirk on his face. He stops only for a moment to grab the wand vibrator he bought specifically for you.

Your eyes widen and you cry out when he places it right on that spot that makes you cum so hard. Your breath comes out in heavy pants as your walls contract around him so hard. When your juices begin gushing out, you even push his cock out of your pussy due to the orgasm being so strong.

Shikamaru relishes in the sight of you coming undone so masterfully for him. He knows it’s all his doing that gets you going like this. Once you’ve come down a little, he leans in and kisses you.

“Let’s see if you can soak me a little more, princess.”

[animeomegas]

Hi Hi I've never sent you anything before but ive been stalking your account for months and recently read through all of your writing (again) and i fell asleep while doing it which influenced my dreams and i just really really wanted to ramble to you about it cause i thought you would enjoy it. So basically in my dream i had sent in this ask to you about being Shikamaru's obsession and i remember you mentioning that you hc him having a thing for hands so i thought about how it would be funny if his obsession is extremely dexterous, and always fiddling with something in their hands, spinning kunai, pens, and needles around their fingers while spacing out. Or even wearing those fidget rings y'know, and then thinking about how it might drive shika crazy. But then i started thinking about what if they had an oral fixation and how during intimate moments they might shove their fingers into his mouth to play with his tongue and watch his face as he tries not to gag, and when their done they would lick their fingers slowly as he watches (is that too weird? am i going to far??) AUGHHH and then my dream went into his obsession being just as obsessed with him, imagining them being painfully oblivious to others flirting with them until they mention something like a tea that energized them or coffee shop they liked and then the poor person having their heart broken and they suddenly remark "My shikamaru would like that, thanks" and they have no clue they just turned the poor omega/beta down. Or them worrying that Shikamaru will get hit on because "who wouldn't want you as their omega you're perfect" so they leave bites and/or hickeys in inconvenient places to cover up, like a hickey on the inside of his wrist or back of his arm, maybe an obvious bite mark on his jaw or ear. Srry i wrote/rambled so much i just slept all day and then had all these shikamaru-centric dreams and decided to share. HOPE YOU GET WELL SOON <3

Ahhh, it's so crazy that this bled into your dreams! It's even crazier because I came up with the Nara obsession thing after I had a dream about Shikamaru, so it must be catching haha!

Oooooooh, Shika would be down so bad for an Obsession that was good with their hands. He'd go into a trance watching them knit or fiddle or whatever, and he's always willing to donate his hands or hair as fidget objects if they needed it 😌

And the oral fixation thing is so hot, anon, ooof 🤤Shika would look so good sucking on fingers, and you know he'd let you play with his tongue. Gagging on his obsession's anything is just 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

He would love and hate being covered in hickies in equal measure hehe.

Shikamaru and his obsession are truly down so hard for each other it's insane. They spend all their time like... what if someone flirts with my s/o because they're perfect?! and they completely miss when people are flirting with them haha.

I loved hearing about your dreams!!! And thank you for your well wishes x

[rayshippouuchiha]

So I was rereading the Shadows & Strength AU and I have this image of Shikaku asking him to handle things so points out a law from when the Nara first joined that basically says any damages/violence is no one's problem, besides the person who provoked that action as the fixation is a recorded thing and anyone stupid to provoke them gets what they deserve.

Shikaku: *finds the old village by-laws and the Nara Clan agreements*

Shikaku: *a man vindicated* Told you all it wasn't my problem!!

[lobsterflavoredsoup]

How does shikanaru nation feel abt fem shikanaru 💖💖💖 i personally love the whole nara fixation au stuff ppl do w shikanaru (cough cough strength and shadows cough cough) and toxic yuri-fying it would literally kill me out of pure joy and happiness

Narutos on her tippy toes in this one bc i live for short naruto

[yowyowyaoi]

Scenes or Comic Panels I Would Draw If I Could Draw BC Some Of My Chatpost Ideas I See Better As Pictures Not Words, Part Two.

-Deidara having had way too much coffee or soda and is sitting with Sasori, explaining one of his favorite tv shows or something and just info-dumping like crazy. And the other Akatsuki members pass by throughout the day and they all wonder how the hell Sasori is just calmly sitting there, giving Deidara his full attention while the blonde just rants for literal hours. Finally Dei wears himself down and falls asleep and Konan goes in to check on Sasori and she’s shocked to see it’s not Sasori at all but one of his puppet body-doubles. Dei in his caffeinated frenzy just didn’t notice.

-Shikadai, Boruto and Mitsuki using a metal detector in the Nara woods, something sets it off so they start digging. Finds Hidan (his Jashin necklace is what set the detector off). Shikadai doesn’t know what to do with a talking head but Mitsuki mentions that his Parent makes bodies in his lab all the time. So they cart Hidan off to Orochimaru. Hilarity (or horrible, horrible chaos) ensues.

-Pakkun finds the Akatsuki hideout. Is preparing to inform Konoha of its whereabouts but recognizes something strangely familiar about the scent of the tall man in the orange mask. Waits a while, spies through the window at night and Mask-Man takes off the mask and. Holy shit. It’s the guy Pakkun’s master Kakashi has been mourning all these years. Leaves, goes to the rest of the ninken. The group all together waits until Obito is alone, ambushes him, and drags him back to Kakashi. They receive many treats and many pats that night. Pakkun is ring-bearer at their wedding.

-Deidara and Itachi start sleeping together in the winter. Not having sex but literally just sharing a bed. Because Kisame is cold-blooded and doesn’t provide the sickly Itachi adequate warmth, and Sasori being a puppet doesn’t get into bed with Deidara a lot as-is because he has no need for sleep, and when he does, his body doesn’t provide warmth either. Kisame and Sasori act like they’re fine with it but secretly kiiiiiinda jealous. Eventually Hidan wants in on the situation too because he feels left out of the “sleepovers” and Kakuzu sits up half the night counting money or reading the Bingo Book anyway. But Kakuzu … is MORE than happy to get Hidan out of his hair (and off of his expensive sheets).

-Deidara pregnant, asleep, and Sasori sitting just fixated on his belly. He gently puts his hand on the belly and the baby gives a little kick. Sasori makes a game out of asking the baby yes or no questions, with a kick being a Yes. Eventually Deidara stirs half-awake and asks “Will your Daddy shut up and let me sleep?!” and then he gives Sasori a kick off the bed with his own legs, mumbles “Good, hm” and goes back to bed.

-Sasori looking up to the sky and asking God to give him something beautiful from heaven. Out of nowhere Deidara explodes up out of the ground, cursing and dirty, into Sasori’s arms. Sasori looks at Deidara, then at the ground and is like “Thank you, Devil-san.”

-Kisame having a talk with Obito, formally asking his permission to marry Itachi. Obito asking how he managed to see through the Tobi persona, Kisame telling him that any idiot could see that “Tobi” was too far-fetched a personality to be believed. The others all say something similar to having figured out that Tobi was an Uchiha, except for Deidara who nearly faints. “I slept with an Uchiha?!” and Hidan is like, “Fuck the Uchiha part; are you telling me you slept with TOBI?!”

-Nagato noticing how much time Konan spends with Kisame and starts to think that maybe she’s attracted to muscles. So he secretly tries to work out but ends up spraining a few ribs and ends up in bed. Konan asks him what he was trying to do, Nagato confesses and Konan laughs. She tells Nagato that she goes out with Kisame so much because the shark is intimidating and being with him prevents men from hitting on her. Next scene is Nagato accompanying Konan to the grocery store, with every single one of his Pein bodies in tow, forming a terrifying wall around the couple, who are holding hands.

-((I think I’ve said this in a post before but)) All of the boys in the Akatsuki wanting to take a shirtless picture together, to show off their “muscles”. They ask Konan to take the picture but she’s offended they didn’t ask her to be in it. they say sure, thinking she’ll be in her bra but nope, she takes off everything and lets the twins out while she flexes. the final picture is Konan flexing in the center, Deidara, Hidan and Itachi fainted on the floor, Tobi has a red trickle coming from his nose area under his mask, Kisame and Zetsu are both alarmingly red, Kakuzu is seen outside fighting some white-haired pervert peeking in through the hideout windows, Sasori is studying Konan’s body with an interest that’s somehow more frightening than the others’, and Nagato is rushing up with a blanket up cover her.

-Kakashi walking down the aisle to Gai in a beautiful wedding dress, being escorted by Naruto and Sasuke on each arm, with all of the ninken holding different parts of his veil-train. Sakura is at the top of the aisle holding Gai’s wheelchair, monitoring his IV bags. He’s not fully healed from his war injuries yet but he insisted on doing this as soon as he could speak again. Lee and Ten-Ten are Gai’s “best men”.

-Hidan gets accidentally blown to bits by one of Deidara’s bombs. Loses everything but his head. Kakuzu tells Sasori that since it was HIS partner who caused this, he should be the one to make Hidan a new body. Sasori agrees. But after awhile Kakuzu comes to him and tells him to delay his progress by a few weeks. Turns out taking care of just Hidan’s head is a LOT easier (and stress-free) than keeping up with Hidan as a whole body.

For the character ask game, for Emmet, 5, 6, 12, 25? no pressure on answering all of them!!

Thank you for writing, your aus are amazing and fun!! Hope you have a good day (ﾉ◕ヮ��)ﾉ*.✧

(With regards to this ask game)

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

I'm going to be entirely honest, I don't really have one, though I've been thinking about a few in particular lately:

"Reform," by QueenPB on Youtube, mostly due to how the fandom tends to portray him as masking more heavily than Ingo, and I interpret the song as being about hiding or replacing things perceived as negative in order to gain some sort of societal acceptance

"きみでないのなら" ("kimi denai no nara" [?]), by itoki hana, due to the general vibes of it; it's a very haunting song that seems to be about missing someone sorely, wishing desperately to see them again

"Patchwork Staccato," by Toa, for literally no reason other than I find the thought of Emmet saying "I really wish you'd just stop existing" is hysterical. Also I want to see him do the lil dance

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

Fantastic question, I'm going to say that he keeps a bird, I keep a bird, therefore we are bound by birds and suffer annual broodiness and screeching from our respective birds

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

That he loses his voice when he gets stressed. It was worse when he was little, but it's rarely much of an issue as an adult.

Also, with regards to aus that have a magic system, I tend to see him as being more inclined towards physical manners of fighting, and magic for offense, rather than support and healing.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

First impression? A funky, slightly intimidating lil guy with fantastic design. Curious bean.

Current impression? Fixation for almost two years, I love him and want to see his heart shatter and his body break, but also he deserves nice things. He's an interesting bean, and it's been fun to figure out how to write him.

Aah, thank you so much! And thank you for all your reblogs and tags and comments, I truly appreciate every single one! You've been incredibly sweet and encouraging! <3

Thank you for the ask, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Hello prince, are you doing alright?, is all better from the surgery? i know is been sometime but i still wanted to check on that :D

May i please request for a stressed out darling who plays 'housewife' for Narancia just because they can't take the disorganization he has on? like darling cleaning even the knife Narancia uses to attack people and cooking warm foods because they can't take what the boy has been eating, i would smack him with my chancla and cook warm foods for him just because i can't take that unhealthy life style he has going on "Nara did you just you came from a mission and hugged me? go take a warm bath now or i'll make you, i will be waiting for you at the table be quick or the food will go cold" i do not fear his knife, he better take a bath when coming 'home' or i will bath him without a hint of shame or embarrassment. Sorry to bother and thank you, Your Highness hope this doesn't annoy you or anything English is not my mother tongue ^_^'

All better from the surgery, dear anon. I'm up and walking and talking again. I'm still adjusting to some recent medical 'revelations,' let's call them, but I'm getting by. Don't develop a pain disorder, it's more annoying than anything else.

Well. 'Housewife' is a funny term for what you've described, anon, because to me, it looks like you're just mothering him. I could delve into a whole digression about how women in heterosexual relationships can take on a role as a second mother to the man, but... I don't want to stress myself out thinking about how awful that sounds. I'm not fond of mama's boys in the slightest.

Narancia would probably go for motherly types. Even if he has Bruno- feminine or masculine- he's still looking for a motherly darling because he just likes it. He's at that age where he can't really voice why he likes it, he'd just say "uhh 'cause it's hot" if he was asked.

But you and I both know what an Oedipus complex is. I hate to use any of Freud's work, but I've taken too many psych. classes to not reference it a little.

In Freud's opinion, which from this point on I'm going to be referring to as "The Psychoanalytic Theory," there's five stages of development that you go through when you're a baby to sexual maturity. There's this thing called the subconscious, and to put it simply, all the things you repress and don't wanna think about go there.

I'm only going to be focusing on two sections of the five stages of development today, the first being: the first. This one's called the Oral Stage.

When you go through a stage, you're going to either resolve it or fail to. When you're in the oral stage, you just wanna get your mouth on everything because you're a baby and that's how you settle that curiosity. New toy? Shove it in your mouth. Mommy talking to me? Eat her hair. You get it.

When you fail to resolve a stage, it gets shoved into your subconscious, and you develop a fixation. An oral fixation is normally shown through excessive biting, chewing on things such as pens, kissing items that aren't meant to be kissed, and even smoking.

The third stage of the five is called the Phallic Stage.

Do you know what happens when you fail to resolve the Phallic Stage, the stage where you identify with your same sex parent and notice the opposite sex parent is, in fact, the opposite sex?

You get an Oedipus Complex. If you're a boy, anyway. Freud liked to ignore women. I think there's a name for the feminine equivalent, but I don't remember at the moment.

And, when you fail to resolve both the Oral and Phallic stages, you get Narancia Ghirga.

He's so, so annoying about it. He doesn't even realize he has it- come on, every guy wants a babe that knows how to cook and wants to take care of you! He's not weird 'cause he likes how women are supposed to be. (He got smacked after saying that, don't worry.)

When he comes home to his darling cooking and cleaning and all of the shit he absolutely never wants to do 'as a man,' he's totally stoked, in his words.

Narancia will take your chancla gladly if it means you really love him- hey, he can take it. It's just a sandal, there's no real danger- ow. Ow. Ow. Hhholy shit. Ow. Babe. Ow.

Naruto: I really miss the ANBU that smelled like smoke and cloves and always had such gentle chakra :(

Shikamaru a ride or die from the cradle : I’ll find him for you

*three months later*

Shikamaru: so I found him, but he’s also a mass murder now

Naruto: but I miss him…

Shikamaru: say no more *uncovers a village conspiracy driven by the power of Naruto’s happiness. It’s like solar power for him*

Most of Konoha has forgotten the power that a Fixated Nara possesses. Particularly when that fixation is sad and pretty and smiles at them like they hung the very stars.

Shikaku, who never forgot, just wished his son and heir could have found another way to handle the problem other than slamming the most horrifically thick stack of papers on the table when he was trying to eat his breakfast and uncovering the worst conspiracy in Konoha’s history before laying down in the middle of the floor to take his first nap in three days.

3, 6, 24 for anime asks

thanks for the ask!! ヾ(≧▽≦*)o

3. favorite anime character

oh no, it's too hard to choose, because I have too many faves and the list containing all of them would be too long ;-; even when I'm not really invested in given anime anymore (or the fixation just calmed down for a while) I still enjoy those little guys...

currently the devil tries to persuade me to rewatch/read anything Naruto related (hopefully I won't give in to this evilness), so honorable mention for Shikamaru Nara 🫡

6. popular anime you didn’t like

I'm gonna do a little cheating here and say Sword Art Online, even though I haven't finished the first season and refuse to add it to my anime list lmao maybe the first few episodes were fine, but the rest... eh sao ssało but to be honest, after all these years I don't remember anything from this anime other than its concept

I'm also not a big fan of Kakegurui, but knowing its popularity (and availability) I've watched 2 seasons and a spin-off hoping that it would get better, but nope, fanservice all the way ._.

24. popular character you hate 

it's much easier to answer this question than the one about favorite characters xD

there are many characters I dislike and even hate, so for this one let's narrow it down to really popular series and characters: Eren Yeager from Shingeki no Kyojin. That's it. I can't stand this guy, but I can't stand his fans even more.
