Please can the male character of a fantasy show/shonen anime not end with a female character for once? Stop with the heteronormativity dear God.

Give the main male character more female friends instead of giving him female love interests. Male characters deserve to have female friends. They don't have to be always romantically involved! I'm tired of people always wanting to ship a girl and a boy without any other option. They could be just friends! (and this feels very close to me because I had a best male friend in high school and people ALWAYS saw us as lovers and it WASN'T true at all! It was so irritating I swear. "You look good together" "You are a good couple" "Are you two together?" Why can't you leave us alone??? He was just my friend). Because YES, a girl and a boy can be friends without feeling romantic love for each other.

Annabeth could have been Percy Jackson's first female friend and she could have been the first girl who cared about him, just like a "female version of Grover" and just a friend- but no, they had to end up together because God forbid a main male character not being the boyfriend of a girl (and the same happens with Hiccstrid, Jlaire and Anidala, they could also just have been friends)

Naruto and Hinata could have been besties instead of lovers but no- they had to make Hinata a girl whose life was only centered in "How do I make Naruto-kun love me?" (and the same happened to Iris West. She could have been more important to the plot and Barry's best female friend- but instead she was just his love interests and her development was null. And the same happened with Allura. At first she was a good character, but then she was only there to be Lance love interest, what he should have been overcome. And btw Allura's romantic love towards Lance felt very rushed. As well as Hinny was so bad developed in the movies and Ginny's development didn't exist).

Seriously people stop with these things. Stop reducing a female character to a love interest. Don't make the main male character end up with a female character because that "it's better for the plot" "it's better for the world" "people won't accept the male character dating another male character" "people won't accept the male character not dating anyone". Not everything has to be a straight couple. Actually, not everything has to be a couple! All relationships in the book/show/movie/anime could be platonic and it wouldn't be a big deal! (Although personally I like romance, but aroace people also exist and they deserve to be represented in media).

gaaaaaaaaaaaaay (shippuden s2e61)

Shikamaru and all his exes plus his current girlfriend in chronological order. This has gotta be one of his top ten worst nightmares

[rayshippouuchiha]

Okay, abt your S&S, the part where Shika hopes in the future that he gets injured enough so Naruto can stitch him up or heal him.

let’s put a spin on that.

how about: a scenario where Sasuke gets a pretty ugly gash somewhere, and Naruto’s the one that has to stitch him back up, just Sasuke smiling smugly at the thrashing Nara in Kakashi arm just WAITING for Kakashi to let go so he can beat that broody teenager up.

Oh gods look if Sasuke manages to be the one who gets stitched up by Naruto first? Shikamaru is going to be livid. Kakashi is gonna have to start sleeping with both eyes wide ass open to keep Shikamaru from going at Sasuke with a kunai to cut those stitches right back out.

I love their relationship so much 🥹

"You can't ship that! They're not canon!"

Stfu. I'm allowed to ship nonsensical ships for any reason including them looking extremely fucking sexy together, you fun-hating canon /fanon policing fuck.

Best friend, husband, advisor - page 34-39 (read from right to left, like the manga)

What if instead of Iruka, Kakashi chose Shikamaru to help Naruto study for becoming the next Hokage? What if Shikamaru took it seriously and discovered Naruto had ADHD? What if along the way Shikamaru became Naruto’s best friend? This is a Naruto x Shikamaru comic, following mainly Shikamaru's POV. Page 27-33

Page 1-6

the ultimate love triangle: aloof dudes who fixate in the sunshine boy in their lives (and treat him with blatant favoritism)

You're not a monster, you know

[hellcifrogs]

The two Shika ship fusions!

[hi-there-buddies]

I just think they’re neat

[epefanio]

I choose to believe some of Naruto’s top love languages are quality time and gift giving and he was like “Hey Shikamaru what if we made bracelets for each other wouldn’t that be fun” shika said that was a drag but naruto still made him a bracelet and he did that thing where he pretends he isn’t a big fan of it but still wears it all the time and he did bother Ino to have them teach him how to make a bracelet so he could also make one for Naruto
