Indirect Kiss
Fandom : Naruto
Relationship : Sasuke x Sakura
My Aug-kissed 2024 contribution for the prompt : Indirect Kiss.
I’m sorry for the mistakes, English is not my native language. I hope you like it.
Summary : Sakura sat up and took the canteen. She noticed that it was half full. She lifted the canteen to her lips but stopped when a thought crossed her mind. The canteen was half full, Sasuke had already drunk from it. He had put his lips where Sakura would put hers. She blushed. Which meant : ‘Indirect Kiss,’ she thought.

Sakura fell to the ground, exhausted. Her body was one big ache and she could not move anymore. It was unusually hot in Konoha and yet, Kakashi had decided to maintain their training. Sakura glared at him. He was sitting under a tree, sheltered from the sun, and he was giggling, reading his book, while Sasuke, Naruto and her had to train under a blazing sun. She hoped he would choke on his giggle. That was all he deserved for forcing them to stay in this hell. And she was thirsty. She thought she should go get something to drink, but she was far too exhausted to stand up.
A shadow stood in front of her, shielding her from the sun. She looked at the shadow and saw it was Sasuke. He seemed just as exhausted as she was. He was holding his canteen and he handed it to her.
“You didn’t look too well,” he explained. “I thought some water would do you good.”
Sakura sat up and took the canteen. She noticed that it was half full. She lifted the canteen to her lips but stopped when a thought crossed her mind. The canteen was half full, Sasuke had already drunk from it. He had put his lips where Sakura would put hers. She blushed. Which meant : ‘Indirect Kiss,’ she thought.
“Are you okay ?” Sasuke asked.
Sakura jumped, snapping out of her thoughts. She could see the worry in his eyes. She must have been so red, he must have thought she was feeling sick from the heat. She reassured him, telling him that everything was fine. She took a sip. The idea of this indirect kiss had not got out of her head. She gave him back his canteen while thanking him. Sasuke nodded and turned around. She saw him take a sip from his canteen and she heard Naruto shouting :
“Are you okay Sasuke ? You face is red !”
Sasuke tensed and threw his canteen at Naruto's face who narrowly dodged it. The Uzumaki did not understand his reaction and started to yell at the Uchiha. An argument ensued and a fight broke out. Sakura could not help smiling. Apparently, Sasuke had had the same thought as her.
The end

Notes- Why Him? Okumura
Return to File
Recovery date: October 12th, 2024
Description: Oh, how would it be to see an Okamura in love with Miyuki's stepbrother, release all the HC possible
Notes: Recovered in conjunction with an anonymous researcher, we thank them for their contributions.
Back to directory
It’s less of a big deal for Miyuki then Okumura
We’ll say you’re a first year in Okumura’s class and you’re there because you tested in academically
The second he hears your last name he’s on guard
I feel like you and Miyuki are really close, after all your parent took care of you both the most
I also think you’ve only recently become step-brothers, like end of Miyuki’s first year
But your parent helped look out for him even before they got with Miyuki’s dad
You were friends as kids and that’s how your parents met
Now that the backstory is out of the way, Miyuki is totally the first to know
He lives with Okumura and heard him mumbling your name in his sleep
The boy was literally just dreaming about having lunch with you, not that Miyuki knew that
As soon as he heard your name leave the younger catcher’s mouth he was out the door
He’s not super protective of you, and Okumura doesn’t seem like a bad guy
But he’s watching over you
Then you start visiting him pretty regularly, and you keep looking at Okumura
And then you come over to his room to help Okumura study, he’s honestly a bit over dramatic when you say you aren’t there for him
Mochi and Zono laugh at him when he asks for advice
So he calls Ryou and Tetsu, and they aren’t much help either
Apparently “what do you do when your roommate who hates you is in love with your step-brother” is a funny question
Ryou announces that no one is good enough for his little brother, and Tetsu points out that Masashi only thinks about baseball
Miyuki wants to help you two get together, but also as Captain and competition for Okumura he’s not really sure he should
On Okumura’s end, he doesn’t even realize
It’s Seto who notices and is left to suffer in silence because he knows Okumura wants to focus on baseball
But Okumura always asks you for help in class when he’s confused, and Seto has been abandoned when pairing up for projects and group work
He’s happy for his friend, but also it’s killing him
So he vents to Kaoru
Look, the whole team finds out you like each other before you two realize
Except Sawamura, and we’ll get back to him in a minute
It gets to the point the team can’t look at you two without smiling and giggling
And Okumura thinks these people like you, which makes him self conscious
It’s a mess
You have to confess, and Miyuki’s the one to push you to do it because it kind of starts affecting Okumura
It’s not his place to meddle in wolf boys life, but it’s basically his right to meddle in yours
If you don’t confess, because you two understand the importance of baseball, he tells Sawamura about the situation
He wasn’t expecting Sawamura to openly confront Okumura, which he really should have seen coming
But Sawamura actually manages to hype him up enough that he decides to tell you
After walking way from Sawamura all grumpy, the pitcher thinks he failed and is ready to go talk to you instead
But when he goes to find you he find you and Okumura having lunch together, practically pressed into each other's sides
He reports back to Miyuki, and by the end of lunch everyone knows you and Okumura are dating
I’m torn because on one hand I think Miyuki would give Okumura a shovel talk
But on the other I don’t think he would for two reasons
The first being he doesn’t want to ruin the tentative relationship they already have
Honestly Okumura is glad he doesn’t have to worry about Miyuki being petty if you two break up
The second is, it’s way funnier watching Okumura squirm as he anticipates it
Like, for a week straight, everytime Miyuki asks to talk to him he expects the “if you hurt him…” talk
But it’s always stuff like, thoughts on our pitchers? The batters we’re facing next?
And sometimes he actually gives Okumura advice about you, like your favorite snack

Chapter 15 Episode 3 Part 1
We start with narration about the three siblings, Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu, and Susanoo. When they were young they used to lived in harmony. But there’s always a pecking order. Amaterasu is regarded as the highest, watching over her world from the place one closest to god. If someone ask her why she exiled Susanno, she would respond “I did it because I knew I should”. We cut to the present, when we see Uzume run into Amaterasu. She’s says she hasn’t seen her in a while. Uzume remembers how they used to go out and do stuff together. Amaterasu acts coldly towards her and says she’s in a rush. Uzume ask her if this is about her brother. Uzume tells to stop worrying about Susanoo and do whatever she wants to do and have fun and to stop fighting with her siblings. Amaterasu says she has a responsibility to Susanoo to be the World Rep.
Back to Future City with MC, Masashi and Nobumichi appeared to greet MC (while Bael is still in background being pissed at Masashi). Maria ask what did they do to Jacob and the others, is it brainwashing. Masashi says that if it was brainwashing it would make the other person look like a fool. The locals are doing this based on their own judgment (sounds like bs but whatever). Masashi goes on and on about the perspective of a superior being. For example, the view from the top of a castle is different from the view from standing on the ground. If you could see disaster coming from far away from the top, you would have to ignore the words of those on the ground and respond, right? There are decisions that can only be made by those who stand above everyone else. No matter how cruel and cold the treatment may have seemed to those of lower rank. If it's necessary, do it. It's the duty of a higher-ranking being. The reason they don't explain anything is because you can't understand what they say.
We cut to some of the World Reps elsewhere. Amaterasu says it’s time for the game to come an end. There were no more words to be exchanged as the World Reps from the three guilds battle.
We cut to Daikoku and Takeminakata. Daikoku goes on about the perspective of higher and lower beings. Takeminakata ask why are they in the fire department headquarters. Daikoku is here to talk to Raven. Daikoku ask Raven what do the Game Masters think of this situation. Raven knows that Daikoku has a grudge against Amaterasu and is probably trying to get info out of him to use against her.
We cut back to MC and others. As MC and the alliance try to fight against the Rule Makers forces, Tsukiyomi and the rest of the Outlaws show up to help. He tells MC they must leave this Future City. They already have informed the other guild alliances of the same thing. Even if everyone stays here, they will have no choice but to retreat eventually. However, if they all scatter and run away, they will be defeated individually, so they have to hold them back. Back to Baphomet and Onyankopon. Baphomet ask what went wrong during the surgery. Sanzo’s sacred artifact has rejected the implanted memory of the future. it’s possible that it’s a sacred artifact that made what was written prohibited. Onyankopon believes that Sanzo’s role and "prohibitions" rejected the future memory implant. Baphomet ask if it’s alright if they chase after Sanzo after all they are now personally interested in them.
Back to MC and Tsukiyomi. MC ask why should they leave. Tsukiyomi says unless you’re local, you probably won't be able to get to the bottom of this matter. You have lived as a human in this Tokyo. That's why he think you're more qualified than him in this situation. Another reason is he wants you to choose your future. He talks about his siblings, about how they always fight and he couldn’t do anything about it. He always thought about what other future there would be. Even if that was an inevitable future, He wanted to give those two the time to make a choice. It's not something given to someone else. You have the opportunity to choose your own future. While the Outlaws was holding the enemy back. Nyarl space leap MC somewhere safe.

IM SO SORRY FOR DISRESPECTING MY FIRST EVER DROC BY NOT POSTING ABOUT HIM. please forgive me
This is Masashi Saitou (he/she)! Ultimate Cake Decorator. Above all else, he's very much prone to mother henning - constantly over-concerned for the people around him, to the point of coddling and stifling. It's done out of concern, really! She just wants everybody to be safe and happy. Bad at letting other people make decisions for themselves. Will shower you with too many gifts and a really elaborate cake display for your birthday.
He lives in the attic of the bakery he works at, having been taken in as a young apprentice by the owner. She's basically his mom, and he treats her as such. His biological family situation is... Not on speaking terms. That's all she'll admit on that topic. Said owner is getting up there in age, so the business might be passed on to him soon! Masashi's neuroticism and need for complete control definitely isn't related to that pressure at all. No sir. She's doing Just Fine. Would you like a cupcake. On the house.
(Side note - the burn scars are from an unfortunate oven accident when he was younger. He was making mother's day cookies. Should not have been unsupervised. She basically just tells it like a funny anecdote nowadays - "You should've seen me crying on the way to the hospital! What? No, not because of the burns, silly - because she was too busy worrying about me to even look at the cookies I made her!")
#Lollipop | Masashi Saitou#danganronpa oc#i dont know why tumblr is crunching the image quality. free him :(#backstory is still a major WIP hence the vagueness. dont worry about it

》 Proud Father 《
Here you can see Gaara with his third biological Child and second Daughter, Shiina Kobayashi. Even Reeze gave Birth at home, Gaara insisted that Reeze should go to the Hospital and let the Doctors check if everything is alright with her and the Newborn. He was just worried since she gave Birth at Home while he wasn't with her.
Yes, Reeze gave Birth at home two Weeks too early. She prepared Gaara's Birthday at home with Temari when the Labors started. So it was in Fact Temari who helped Reeze during Childbirth and it went really fast, after two Hours she was born on January 18th, one day before her Fathers Birthday.
Shiina was from the beginning a real Crybaby. She cried a lot, especially during the Night and the first year with her was very difficult for her Parents. Sometimes even Reeje couldn't calm her down, sometimes even Gaara couldn't. But she was really Daddy's Princess from the Beginning. Mostly it was Gaara who got up at Night when she cried, to help Reeze so she could sleep. He was often awake at Night anyway because of his still present Insomnia and Nightmares. And because Reeze was alone with her during the Day, Gaara wanted to do his Wife a Favor and took care of the Baby at Night.
From the first Moment he hold her in his Arms, he was the proudest Father on Earth. 💙

Im home Dad! I bought my friend snake hes a ball python lol I bought everything I own its not much I love my room! thank you! I love that you stocked the fridge with gatorade and ritz bits, but no need to worry im conscious of what I eat I eat healthy to keep my physical strength up💪I wake up at 6 am if im training and I wake up at 7 for school (if I ever don't answer on time its cause im busy making you proud in school 🅰️➕😊) im a solid straight A student and an athlete 💪I have physical setbacks one day ill tell you about them, but I won't let anything hold me down Last year I was adopted by a family who loves me, two moms. I have best friends in school but I could write a bestselling novel of my life Lord Oro Dad Im writing it as we speak. Sorry I wrote a lot um excited!! My ball python is named Mr. Sniffles because he has a deviated septum or so I think hes a little monster like me ugly but he has a motor 🛴 - Masashi 🤴

You may send me long or short Asks, as many as you desire. Kabuto is up by 5 am sharp and he will prepare a healthy breakfast for you, and meals. Feel free to prowl around the premises, but be careful when occupying the labs; lab 1 is hazardous materials and curated biohazards. The bulk of experimental formulas and alchemical engineering in areas that are unspeakable takes place in lab 1. Lab 2 is animal testing and hybridization. We don't need to get too into that. Lab 3 is basic, human gene splicing. Lab 2 and 3 are fit as one larger space... Lab 4 and 5 are based on research dealing with jutsus and hereditary jutsus. Lab 6 we won't speak of now. Every separate lab is comprised of lab technicians and scientists.
Avoid the dungeons at all times.
There's also a movie theater, a state of the art gym, saunas, a spa, training grounds and plenty of torture cells--ah, rooms you should avoid.
If you hear shrill screams at any odd hour, or groans and cries, vague pleas for help... It's Kimimaro playing his Dungeon and Dragons. That is all.
I am up at any time. I may reply late if I'm traveling.

Doyo Studio Park Review
Review of Takashi so far in the first half
· dried dog · Weird · Flying fish short poem "
Actor interview · Fukuhara Haruka · Kuwabata Rie · Takahata Junko
The second half hits Akaso himself
· I like reading books just like Takashi
・Decompression method→Bungee jumping
Recently, I am drinking protein
that tastes like strawberry milk
Because the character will always grow beyond his own age and want to be a mature man’s body
Fukuhara accidentally loves to play
. When two people mispronounce the Kansai dialect, they will always say the wrong words to disturb each other 😂😂
The part where Mai’s grandmother Junko Takahata co-stars
He thinks she is a great actress and a great person.
Takahata-san said that Takashi is a weirdo, isn’t it good?
I read the script myself and read it very passionately
. I said it because she said it. more convincing
When Takashi disappeared and went home to see his parents after
Kuwabata Rie, who played the role of mother,completely assumed the mood of his child’s disappearance when he entered the door, and hit him hard. She asked Akaso if it would hurt . Akaso said: It’s okay to use more force🥺
Then Rie San said in other places that Eiji has no aura ww
when we met for the first time, she didn’t wear glasses at all, and I didn’t notice that "Eiji Akaso" came, and then Eiji brought her food and was very polite She thought it was a staff member again, but one day he suddenly looked handsome ww,how he can be my son she said🤣
(Eiji: I don’t know which day it was at all)
Akaso said that he usually wears black clothes and jeans, which is easy to be mistaken for a staff member.
Maybe it is because if he occasionally wears more colorful Rie San would say he is handsome.
Host: Maybe outside, can Akaso Eiji sit next to me in the sinkansen ? He is very kira kira so handsome
Akaso: no, no 🥹He also said very modestly that he wore good clothes, combed his hair and make-up during the shooting... The host also said that his eyes were shining and bright
He said it there was lighting that's why🥺
Like Takashi, I like to read novels, essays, philosophy, and business books ,I like to read everything. When I was young, I also went to second-hand bookstores . I like the decoration and smell.If you have troubles, you can get inspiration from the books
The trouble is that the body is very hard . I'm too stiff
I didn’t squat down enough to demonstrate in the studio. I was worried that I would not be able to walk when I was old, so I try to do stretching and so on everyday 😆.
The decompression method is bungee jumping, although I have only been there once and I have no memory in the middle ww
I like high places and I like the feeling of heartbeat. If I have a chance, I also want to go to sky diving bungee jumping . I have always wanted to try it.
He mentioned again that I also want to go to waterfalls meditation
[Nakamura Tomoya message]
I want a shower (shower head) for my birthday recently, so please Akaso send me that one you use at home, which is very good (tomoya bdays it's on December 24(36yo))
He said Eiji is like a son & also like a daughter "I feel that there will be some small problems if I leave my eyes a little bit. If a car drives over, I will tell Akaso that it is dangerous"(Is it a parent with a child🤣)and then chat When it comes to the topic of love,Akaso said that he would pursue it with a strong momentum, and Nakamura said that Eiji also has this kind of very manly part, and I feel Doki doki (キュン) 😆He felt that he was handsome saying this,
"What if he came to chase me?" what will happened? Akaso: Actually, I started playing recently golf too! do you want to go? do you want to go? Please call me next time when there are not enough people😂
Nakamura said that Akaso should be afraid of being rude and dare not disturb them when he was with Sada masashi
," he really wanted to join, but he looked at him from 3 meters away" 🥺
Eiji said that Nakamura was really a very gentle person and bought him coffee every day during filming,also said he's like a big brother to him,I really like his gentle voice and way of Speaking
He said that he learned a lot from Takashi good at" not "hate"
Ah yes, the present I want from Nakamura or Santa Claus is a humidifier pls 🙏🤲💝
He also said : " I have been receiving gifts from Santa Klaus since I was a child"🥺🥹🥰(*so loved by his parents no wonder he's such a brilliant soul)
& finally he said
Hona,merry Christmas ☃️ 🎄🎅
The interpretation of the role of Takashi is naturally expressed in the live broadcast. It is easy to see that Akaso has studied the script repeatedly and has his own understanding🤗It's great that Takashi is so popular🥳hard work pays off👏

Friendly reminder that you can be sued for making money off fanfic. You should reword it as donations or similar or discuss money off public display and never put it as the note/reason on the payment processor
Hey, I appreciate the heads up but I am genuinely not worried about it. No franchise I write fan works of is going to be challenged in their market by me writing a short story for a small online community. If I were going to mass-sell copies of these stories and tote them as my own characters, then yeah, that's an issue. This however is comparable to an artist alley poster sale, it truly doesn't affect the source material at all.
And if Masashi Kishimoto wants to come at me for $10, then that's his business I guess.

Should we ask Miyuki more about how things were at the shelter? I'm worried that Kota might have tried to do something with her or some of the other girls there
Hm? You guys are curious of how it was like there...?
Well if curious, Kota never touch me or I tend to avoid him as often as I could; I just know a lot of girls really like him and trust him but I know Fiona were wary of him which she warn me and Masashi about him when we first arrive.
Fiona...? Who's she? Is she a friend of yours?
Yeah, Fiona is a foreign exchange student from Ireland, she got stranded during the tragedy and is stuck with the shelter but she wants to get home.
All I know she doesn't like Mr. Hashimoto but can't leave because she is protecting 2 other kids; Kanae and Rui Kirishima, a brother and sister duo as Kanae is a bit of a doormat and even helped me, Masashi and Miyo escape and I do want to save her along with the other kids too.
Seems aside from Masashi and Rui, there looks to not be a lot of boys.
Yeah... in fact he usually doesn't allow boys pass the age of 15 to stay and just kicks them out or they disappear, in fact he was going to kick Masashi out for that reason.
I try to reason with him but he say there 'wasn't anymore room' but say that if I leave Miyo behind which I couldn't accept which Fiona gave us a weapon and allow me, Miyuki and Miyo to escape.
Hmph, what a sick bastard...
'Sick bastard' doesn't even begin to describe what type of gross man he is; all I know that he usually picks one girl to 'spend time with', it's even why I left because I didn't want to stick around with that creep!
And since I heard rumors about a polygamy law being legalized due to de-population reasons I fear what bastards like him would do with it... probably abuse the crap out of it.
Then we need to make sure that sicko gets what's coming!

(Click for higher quality because Tumblr likes to bully me apparently)
Finally, someone near the height of Toshi! Introducing, Sk8r boi and his favorite gremlins
You can find a smidge more info about them (and other kids) in This Post!!!
(Please note that their actual ages are not finalized. This is just to give you a general feel/vibe for their ages and age differences)
Some design notes I guess under the cut
Takeo: That hoodie is Cellophane merch! It’s highly elastic to be able to fit around folks with mutations. His hair just grows like that. If you cut his bangs off, then his new “bangs” will turn yellow within a few days. Idk how it works, but the same thing happens to Mieko if you cut off the ends of her hair(they tested it out when they were kids) Yes those are socks with sandals He enjoys babysitting his siblings! He’s one of the very few people Masashi tolerates. He has a big scar on his right shoulder right where his neck connects with his shoulder. He normally covers it up, not because he doesn’t like it, but because he can tell it makes his Dads upset
Maemi: She normally is supposed to have resting sad face but she looks happy and that’s inaccurate soooooo Surprisingly, an extrovert! She loves being around people, even if she just hangs out in the background and keeps quiet That onesie is Shinsou Hero Merch! It’s black with a purple spiral Her favorite color is pink, hence the socks Her hair is supposed to resemble Fuyumi’s in term of style, and idk how well I pulled it off A really chill baby. A good balance to her twin
Masashi: Wearing some ChargeBolt merch! A little brat. Trash baby. Is always angry. Suffers from Resting Bitch Face His hair tends to just float around like he’s underwater, but only in little clumps and not too an extreme extent His hair is also static-y like, 80% of the time Denki has sent Bakugou plenty of videos featuring this little clown having a tantrum saying “Blasty look it’s u” For a while, the only way to get him to sleep without a huge tantrum would be Hitoshi hypnotizing him to sleep His quirk also manifested super early during a tantrum. Let’s say around 2-3 years old.
This turned into me ranting about how Masashi is a little brat baby but oh well that’s all he deserves
#bnha next gen#bnha fankid#bnha#shinkamisero#Yes I am aware his name is Takeo and the Tsuyuraka son's name is Takiyo#That was maybe an accident#I came up with their names EONS ago so I can't remember#to pronounce the names uniquely#put more stress on the Iyo in Takiyo and let Takeo just roll off your tongue#In class the teacher is talking abt dogs and I suddenly thought about Masashi barking#idk why#I've never thought this before#Should I be worried for Masashi?#Maybe#Takeo Shinaro#Maemi Shinaro#Masashi Shinaro#Born And Raised#Mha Born And Raised

The Stars Will Always Lead Me To You
Fandoms : Naruto / Doctor Who
Relationship : Thirteen x Sakura
My Crossover Ships Week 2023 contribution for the prompt : Reincarnation.
I’m sorry for the mistakes, English is not my native language. I hope you like it.
Summary : Sakura put her head in her hands as a sharp pain ran through her. She had never felt this. It was as if her head was going to explode from too much information. Thousands of images raced through her head. She lowered her hands and opened her eyes. She remembered everything. Her name was Rose Tyler and she had regenerated.
Disclaimer : Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto and Doctor Who belongs to the BBC.
@crossover-ships-brainrot
AO3 / FF.NET
The Doctor ran as fast as he could. The ship was heading straight towards a black hole, with about ten people on board. He had thought about all the possibilities and he had found a single solution. He had to gather everyone in one part of the ship and separate the other part to prevent the black hole from sucking them in entirely. But for that, someone had to stay at the risk of being sucked in. Only he could do it. But he would not have thought that Rose would knock him out to take his place.
He did not know how long he had been unconscious, but he had to hurry before it was too late. He had just reunited with her, after all these centuries without her. He had lost Amy, Rory and River, but Rose had reappeared in his life. She was no longer human. The TARDIS had changed something in her so she could not age anymore and she could not die.
For the first time in years, he was happy. They could finally live together forever. But things had not gone as it should and they were going to be separated again. He arrived at the heart of the ship, where it had to split in two. The door was closed. He tried to open it with his sonic screwdriver, but he could not opened it. Rose must have blocked it. He saw her through the glass of the door and he knocked with all his might.
“Rose !” He shouted. “Rose, open the door !” “No way,” she said, making the final adjustments to the central computer. “You won’t sacrifice yourself.” “Don't worry, I'll find a way to get back. But I'm begging you, open that door.”
Rose approached the glass.
“Promise me you won't stop running. You have to travel, find companions and show them the universe. The universe needs you.”
He did not care about the universe, he thought. All that mattered was getting Rose to safety. She put her hand on the glass and the Doctor imitated her. He begged her to discard the idea. Rose smiled, despite the tears streaming down her cheeks.
“The stars will always lead me to you,” she said.
Without taking her eyes off him, she pointed her sonic screwdriver she had made in Pete's world at the computer and the ship split in two. The Doctor felt helpless. All he could do was watching Rose get sucked in the black hole while the part of the ship he was in drifted away.
After getting the entire crew to safety, the Doctor returned to the TARDIS. Why keep helping the universe, he thought bitterly, when the universe was taking everyone he loved from him.
******
Sakura lay down on the ground and watched the stars. The sky was clear and the stars sparkled brilliantly. She had always liked watching them. They soothed and comforted her. As far as she could remember, the stars had always brought her this feeling of well-being. When she was a child, she wanted to travel across the universe so she could visit distant galaxies. She was convinced that it was possible and she was still convinced of it.
Naruto lay down next to her. Sakura looked at him and smiled. He had had an arm transplant four months ago and he had insisted on going on a mission with Sakura. It was a simple two-day mission, but Sakura was happy to spend time with her best friend.
“Still watching at the stars,” he teased gently. “I find them comforting.” “Do you still believe you can travel to the stars ?”
Sakura laughed lightly and she patted his shoulder. Naruto could not help wincing.
“Stop making fun of me.”
But she was convinced that something was about to change. Something important that could change her life. After returning from the mission, Sakura had the strange feeling that she was drawing to the stars more and more. As if they were calling her. Every day, she felt like her brain was assimilating new knowledge, things she had never learned. At night, she had strange dreams. She dreamed of unknown creatures and distant planets. But some things were recurring. A blue box that was bigger on the inside and a man with different faces. One day, while she was sleeping, the name of that man came to her mind.
“Doctor !” Sakura called waking up suddenly.
She put her head in her hands as a sharp pain ran through her. She had never felt this. It was as if her head was going to explode from too much information. Thousands of images raced through her head. London, Powell Estate, Jacky, Mickey, the Doctor, the TARDIS, Bad Wolf, Pete's world, John, her reunion with the Doctor, the black hole.
Sakura lowered her hands and opened her eyes. She remembered everything. Her name was Rose Tyler and when she was being sucked in the black hole, she had regenerated. It was the only explanation she had. She would never have thought that Bad Wolf could do this. She had landed in Konoha as a baby. The Harunos had found her under the cherry blossoms and had named her Sakura. But unlike the Doctor, she had no memory of her past life until today. Sakura remembered the feeling she had that things were about to change. But she would never have believed in this kind of change.
******
Several weeks had passed and Sakura had only one idea in mind, to find the Doctor. But she had no way to contact him. Ever since she had regained her memory, she had been trying to build a device that might be able to send a signal to the TARDIS. She knew it would be complicated and it would take her time. But she was sure of one thing. No matter how many times they were apart, they would always meet again.
******
The Doctor lowered the throttle, but the TARDIS would not listen and did exactly as she pleased. They were heading to an unknown destination deep in the universe and that worried the Doctor. There was a violent jolt and she fell to the floor. She did not understand what was going on. The TARDIS suddenly stopped and the Doctor walked towards the screen. She opened her eyes wide as she read the instructions. Her hearts were pounding so hard she thought they would explode.
It was impossible. She did a new check and the result was the same. Rose was there. On the other side of the door. She remembered that fateful day when Rose had disappeared. There was no way she survived. But maybe… The Doctor felt hope rise in her. Maybe Rose was still alive. After all, it was not the first time that she thought she would not see her again and Rose miraculously reappeared in her life.
The Doctor only knew that she was in a village called Konoha, on a planet similar to Earth but which was millions of light years from where the black hole had been.
The Doctor ran out of the TARDIS. She was in front of a building that was being demolished. She stepped inside and nearly lost her balance when she felt a violent jolt. She arrived in a completely demolished hallway.
“What happened here ?” She wondered.
The floor shook again and the Doctor saw a figure running towards her. It was a young woman, but it was not Rose. She had pink hair and when she arrived in front of the Doctor, she could see her big green eyes.
“You mustn't stay here,” she said. “Run !”
She took her hand and they ran off. This took the Doctor back several centuries when she met Rose. This girl was not Rose, yet she felt the same warmth and sweetness in her hearts. The Doctor looked behind her and she saw two Cybermen. They left the building and the pink haired let go of her hand. The Doctor felt a void, but she came to her senses when the pink haired hit the ground with her fist and the building collapsed.
“Wow !” The Doctor exclaimed. “Impressive.”
The woman grinned from ear to ear.
“Thanks.”
She looked towards the ruined building.
“I must have miscalculated,” she muttered. “The Cybermen should not have heard my call.”
The Doctor watched her. She had spoken far too softly and she had not understood what she had just said. She did not look like Rose. But she knew it was her. Everything in her knew it was Rose. Maybe she had regenerated. After all, there's still a lot she did not know about Bad Wolf.
“Is everything alright ?” She asked, noticing the Doctor watching her. “Yes, it is.”
The Doctor grinned from ear to ear. Suddenly, another Cyberman came towards them. The Doctor walked over to the building's electrical panel. The electrical wires were down. She ran her sonic over the panel. When the Cyberman would step on the wires, he would be electrocuted, she thought. But they had to leave quickly, it was also dangerous for them.
“Let's go,” the Doctor said.
She took her hand and the girl followed her without asking questions. They entered the TARDIS. The Doctor walked to the dashboard, while her guest looked around.
“It's…” she began. “It's bigger on the inside,” the Doctor continued.
She approached the Doctor, smiling.
“I knew you would hear my call.” “Rose,” the Doctor smiled. “From now on, my name is Sakura.”
Another flower name, the Doctor thought.
“What do you think about it ?” Sakura asked. “Is that a good or bad difference ?” “A good difference,” she answered, she had never been so happy.
Sakura took her hand and squeezed it.
“The stars will always lead me to you.”
This sentence which had caused her so much pain, now made her happy. She took Sakura in her arms and kissed her. She was reunited with her and she did not want to spend a second away from her.
No matter what would happen. Whether her name was Rose or Sakura. She was finally with the Doctor, aboard the TARDIS, forever.
The end

The Cycle of Hatred in Naruto fandom.
Ok, so I just wanted to write a little post on why this fandom (Naruto fandom that is) needs to chill and stop hating on each other so much. But first, let’s get clear in our minds that “Naruto” is a business franchise, and the goal of any business venture is to earn 💰. Earn money by evoking emotions in you. Now that this is clear, let’s move on. This will be a short (not rant) but rather advise to the various “camps” in this community.
1. To the remaining NaruSaku bunch:
Yes, I get it, you’re disappointed with the ending. Yes, you wanted Naruto with Sakura and apparently you cannot see how in the world NaruHina even happened. But if you took your bias out for a bit, you would see that pairing Naruto with Hinata was THE ONLY positive outcome for Naruto romance-wise. Or did you really want Naruto to end up with a “prize” that never even ONCE expressed her desire to be with him romantically in any way, shape or form. And don’t bring up the fake confession because this is all that is. FAKE. To save the love of her life from sinking into darkness. And how can you go around Hinata’s heartfelt confession during the Pein arc? So, please STOP insulting Hinata and her fans - let people enjoy the canon pairings that were planned from the beginning of serialisation of the project.
2. To the very vocal SNS community:
I’ll just keep it simple. If Masashi Kishimoto wanted this manga to be shonen-ai or yaoi, he would’ve acted on it. Editor or not, Kishi stands behind his story. He always has. And please don’t bring the supposed “homophobia” into this. Homophobia is a very serious rl issue that affects millions of people worldwide and you’re NOT helping the cause by insulting and hating on people enjoying the het canon pairings of Narutoverse. You do realize that your rants about it only trigger more hate towards yourselves and the cycle of hatred goes on. So we all end up bashing real living breathing humans “for the sake” of inked characters.. Let it sink in.
3. To the die hard SasuKarin minority:
Bruh.. There’s so much I’d like to bring up here but I’ll stick to basics. Firstly, your claim to be Sasuke fans is ridiculous because you seem to view him as a mindless, powerless beta male that was harassed by a woman SO HARD that he decided to give it to her.. really?! Is that who you think he is? Because that’s what you all seem to claim by saying that “Sakura chased after him”. You take that line from Gaiden and take it completely out of context. Do you know ANYTHING about Sasuke? Anything at all? If there’s anything manga taught us about his character is that Sasuke Uchiha acts as he pleases. He did so when he first left the village, he did so when he killed Orochimaru, he did so when he fought with Naruto, he did so when he willingly gave up his old worldview, and he did so when he married his wife. And you bring up “rape” into the matter. Seriously?! Do I need to bring up the sweaty t-shirts, licking somebody all over and ravaging them in their sleep? Do I? Thankfully, Karin redeemed herself by worrying about Sasuke’s wife well-being enough to deliver her baby and by thinking about HER happiness in Sasuke Shinden. She clearly cares about the Uchiha family wellbeing more than you do. She moved on!! So should you.
4. To NaruHina and SasuSaku respectively:
There is NO popularity contest. Man, I can’t believe we’ve got to this. There is absolutely NO popularity contest between Sakura and Hinata, neither there is for their romances. They’re different, just as the girls are different, and the boys are different. There is no such thing as a cookies cutter perfect romance. They’re written differently and I’m thankful to Kishimoto for that. I wouldn’t want every couples way to the altar copy-pasted. SS is angstier and more complicated. Their history is different. Yes. NH has been more subtle during the Shippuden but both pairings came together as was planned and we should feel proud and victorious that our ships made it to canon. But that’s too boring I guess. I guess tearing each other down is the new sport. So please tell me: what has Sakura ever done to Hinata except for being a good friend?! Same goes for Hinata. Can you put away your hate for Sakura/Hinata for one minute to appreciate the fact that the girls are ACTUALLY HAPPY! The way it was planned from the beginning. They’ve both suffered, ached and spilled tears for the men they love SO MUCH. And now they’re happy! Can’t we celebrate that?! This brings me to my next and final point.
5. To Sakura haters:
I’ll keep it brief. I honestly really truthfully DO NOT get WHY you hate on her so much.I REALLY DON’T.
5.1. For those of you who hate her for getting in the way of your ship, please see above. You really must either not have read the manga, or fanfiction.net is your source of truth. Hating her for being paired with Sasuke is same as hating Kishimoto for making Naruto a jinchuuriki because both canon facts were pre-planned by the author.
5.2. If you hate her for being mean to Naruto, then I suggest reading the manga past chapter 3 because this misconception gets debunked really quickly. You should stop refusing to accept the fact that Sakura really cares about Naruto as a friend and a precious teammate.
5.3. If you hate her for being “useless”, I don’t even know what to tell you because.. you know.. you don’t know the content of the manga called “Naruto” so why don’t you put away your bias for a minute and try to see what I see? All you have to do is clear your mind of all misconceptions and just read the manga with, you know, open mind?! To see how many lives she saved, how much of strength she has considering her humble beginnings, and how much valued she is in the village.
To the rest of Naruto fandom that gets swayed in every direction influenced by reviewers on social media, extremist shippers or even have trouble realizing that characters are fictional and nothing really happens to them unless it’s written into the canon verse by the author, I have one advice to you: please don’t let anyone’s opinions affect your judgement. YouTube reviewers are PAID to provoke and trigger you. They earn money by imposing THEIR ideas and theories onto YOU. Some of them bring their own life experiences into the discussion which only causes you to self-insert.
Naruto is an awesome manga! It deals with such important issues and carries such a positive message! Please, STOP ruining it by pointless wars that only fuel more hate!
Now. Going back to my first point about the money. Anime production studios have a huuuge interest in you staying glued to the screens. They’ll do anything to provoke you to talk about whatever happens on screen. They will bring their own bias into the mix, and fuel this madness even more. For the anime only fans I will say that you’re doing a huge disservice to yourself and to the work of art that “Naruto” is by only watching anime. It adds another layer of interpretation thus confusing you even more. Please, read the manga! It’s so worth it!

Mangaka Are Flawed People Like You and I
If Shonen Jump is considered to be the “World’s Most Popular Manga,” then you can bet that the creators behind the magazine’s landmark series are some of the most popular people in the world today.
Of course, with the attention Shonen Jump series get, there always comes the chance of a big problem that gets exposed.
And recently, this was the case as Nobuhiko Watsuki, creator of Rurouni Kenshin, had a big exhibition for the series in Japan. This comes off his conviction of having child pornography in his possession and not having to be in jail for an indefinite period of time (compared to what he would face in the West). What got many fans talking was the fact that 14 notable mangaka with ties to Shueisha wrote congratulatory messages for Watsuki and causing (mostly Western) fans of those mangaka to have conflicting feelings over their favorite creators for celebrating someone who’s a convicted pedophile.
Eiichiro Oda, Masashi Kishimoto, Hideaki Sorachi, Yusei Matsui, Takeshi Obata, Hiroyuki Takei are just some of the familiar names many manga fans will recognize that praised Watsuki. Seeing Sorachi’s name does worry me a bit since I know he’s done jokes about lolicons and such. I think what it comes down to is how close-knit mangaka are with each other. The manga industry is extremely rough and insular. There’s little room for social interaction outside of work, so it’s usually your co-workers that you talk to the most at times. I know Oda was an assistant under Watsuki before creating One Piece, so there’s also the senpai-kouhai relationship in play here as well.
This doesn’t excuse Watsuki for what he did. I’m not sure if he’s truly apologetic for his actions. I did hear that one of the major reasons that Watsuki was let off the hook was because Shueisha felt that they had to honor the contract they made with Warner Bros. regarding the upcoming Rurouni Kenshin movie based on the Jinchu Arc. It sounds like some warped sense of honor needed to be preserved over a very serious issue that needs more attention.
Some fans have said, “Thank god Tite Kubo or Yoshihiro Togashi didn’t write anything for Watsuki.” The thing is they can’t assume those creators are righteous just because they didn’t say anything. Fans seem so desperate for heroes because they feel like the whole world is full of awful people. To be fair, the inability of societal institutions to actually help people and encourage that help can give someone a legit reason to be angry.
But treating creators like they’re pure and holy gods that will never do any wrong isn’t the way to channel that frustration. Creators aren’t your friends. They will mess up. Think about it this way - why do you think are there are hierarchal levels of friendship? For starters, you can’t just bombard new potential friends with heavy details about your personal life. Not everyone’s going to get you. There’s probably some people you want in your life that make you forget your vulnerabilities for a bit, so you want different types of friends for your varied needs. Creators usually feel more connected among other creators due to shared experiences. The creator/fan relationship is parasocial at best.
I read this blog post from Steven Savage, author of Fan to Pro and many other notable books about fandom, about the desire for heroes in our world and he said it best.
“We hate real heroes, so we often seek false heroes. We find some person who has the right pose, the right words, and follow them instead. We worship the fakers, the actors, the deceivers, and the grifters.
Fake heroes are clean. They present the way we want, act the way we want, say the things we want. There’s no moral ambiguity – unless you look at their actions.
Fake heroes often have money and fame, and the right looks. They have all the worldly things we want, and we decide that’s heroism. The image is there – as long as you don’t ask how they got there.
Fake heroes don’t have any apparent ambiguity because they lie about it or cover it up. Fake heroes are an act, and we don’t have to deal with moral complications because we buy into it. Fake heroes are so much easier.
Fake heroes fit all we expect. They’re the right age, right sexual preference, right skin tone, etc. Fake heroes are a confidence game that looks just enough like us that we’re confident in believing in them.
We so prefer fake heroes in America. They’re so much easier, and the internet and media will help us find them or turn them out for us.”
I know it sounds like I’m suggesting that mangaka are “fake heroes.” In some ways, they are. We, the people, are the ones who place them as heroic by nature. It’s not entirely our fault as most media and word-of-mouth marketing sing their praises. I’m not saying that we should stop having role models, but I wish people were more reflective about who they should really revere.
I sometimes feel like fans love parasocial relationships a bit too much. I wonder now if it’s because they have no cognitive framework of what proper boundaries are. This can be a huge issue at times especially when you feel lonely and socially isolated. When I think about how people fall into extremism and/or start to do things that hurt other people, I think about that lack of emphasis on enforcing boundaries in a healthy way.
I do think some of the mangaka did feel uncomfortable in writing to support Watsuki. They probably had no choice since ethics and capitalism (especially geek capitalism) never mix well. People who think they’re always “right” don’t really preach ethics unless it directly benefits their reputation.
I already voiced my thoughts about Watsuki before in this 2017 post. I’ll say this as final words - so many things (the brands you like, the famous people you like, the nerd media you like, etc.) will have always some kind of dirty psychological stain on it. Over the past few years, some powerful folks who explicitly say they’re inclusive and diverse turn out to be the ones who aren’t. Someone on Twitter recently asked what if every manga creator has some kind of belief system that doesn’t fall in our line with our beliefs. Do we start to justify pirating their work just to prove our moral superiority?
I’m not sure how to feel about that because you can’t remove every little thing in your life that you don’t agree with. It’s impossible. It’s also a terrible way to live because we need some level of disagreement in order to become better people. We will all mess up and say/do the wrong thing over and over again. I know some “experts” say to cut out toxic people in your life, but if they’re not being abusive/troll-ish and genuinely wish to see you well, then I think you need to stand by them because those folks are the heroes we truly need, not an influential figure who uses their clout to only benefit themselves.
If you want a great post about how to separate art from the artist, this is my favorite post on how to do so.

My history with King of Prism and worries for the future
Poor Nikkanen. They made us wait TWO YEARS for the release of the full version of his ONLY song. I don’t think Prism Rush was supposed to end when it did, and the unreleased songs are more or less proof of that. (I mean what were they saving them for? I doubt the “Best Of” collection was what they originally had in mind.) I had always assumed that some time after SSS ended we’d start getting new songs on Prism Rush again and get another Prism Rush compilation CD. But that did not happen.
Did SSS not do well? I mean... having been in a sold-out theater many a time I had assumed that it did quite well. But maybe the TV ratings and/or DVD sales weren’t what they should have been. (Then again, if we’re just talking about Prism Rush, it wouldn’t matter how well SSS did or didn’t do if people didn’t spend enough money on the app to warrant releasing new songs for it.)
But that aside... it is a bit concerning to not only have Prism Rush ending, but over a year after SSS, to have nothing on the horizon in the future except for some “Best Of” discs... Maybe they’ll announce something at the Zoom show? Maybe they won’t.
It may be too early to start mourning the King of Prism series as a whole, but...
But I can’t help but feel myself starting to mourn at least my own future with it. With no new Prism Rush content and without ability to go to in-person cheering shows, I... I just I... I feel like I may find it hard to keep as passionate as I have been in the past. And to make matters worse, I’m not going to be able to work on my translations as much as before either. When I was translating 2-3 events a month on my Prism Rush translation blog, I had no job and then like... half a job. To make a long story short recently that first job not only got upgraded to full time, but I got another job as well. So now I have a job and a half and... a lot less free time.
For a long time my main fandom has been split something like 49%/51% Love Live/King of Prism, but with the constant stream of accessible new Love Live content and lack of much of anything King of Prism I think that percentage will soon change...
And so, while feeling emotional about all this, I started mentally revisiting my favorite moments from my time in the King of Prism fandom. (It’s all stuff I’ve talked about before, but if you’d like me to dig up the post or explain the details, do let me know...)
(In somewhat chronological order-ish)
*Stepping out of Toho Cinemas and into the Bay City Nagoya Mall in early January 2016 not knowing how to process what had just happened. I’d heard people talk about how exiting to the parking lot after seeing Star Wars the first time in the 1970s was a bizarre experience. They didn’t know how to tell people the world was different now. I thought to myself that this was probably the same feeling. How could I tell people the world was sparkling now?
*Three weeks and three showings later, realizing I did not want to trade after I opened up my Shin filmstrip bonus. “I think I like him.”
*Hanging up said filmstrip and my other original theater bonuses on the wall of my apartment. “King of Prism won’t be in theaters much longer”, I thought to myself. “It was fun while it lasted.”
*The radiance exploding from me as I talked to OTHER PEOPLE who had seen King of Prism for the fIRsT tIME (a thing that did not happen for several months).
*Tokyo cheering shows back in the heyday. Looking around a giant, screaming, sold-out theater in Ikebukuro after many months had passed and realizing I was a part of something much bigger than I had realized.
*The first Animate Cafe in Kyoto. Everyone gleefully answering “Naaaani” while listening to the explanation of how the cafe worked. The miracle of getting my first, and still favorite, cafe Shin badge.
*Screaming at the Over the Rainbow event live viewing when they announced Pride the Hero. We did it. We really did it. We were actually getting the sequel I once thought was impossible.
*The midnight showing of Pride the Hero. People crying before it even started and the thunderous applause after it finished that I thought would never end. (People in Japan usually never clap after movies.)
*Music Ready Sparking. (The first concert.) The feeling of seeing SePTENTRION (long before they were called that) rising up to the stage to perform live for the first time.
*The realization that I knew all the words to Dramatic Love, despite having never sang it before. (The instrumental began during the credits at the concert and we all... just... started singing. Japanese fandoms usually never sing at concerts unless directed to.) This is probably still my favorite moment of all time in the King of Prism fandom.
*The announcement of the Prism Rush app and the golden age of the game. Biting my nails with anticipation over what would happen next in the White Day event.
*Screaming in the theater during the Rose Party 2018 event live viewing when they announced SSS. We did it. We REALLY did it this time. We got an actual anime. We reached the mainstream.
*The adventure that was reading Road to SSS for the first time on Prism Rush and trying to predict what all the duos would be only to be blindsided by completely new characters. Going from “the heck are these guys” to “MY SONS” regarding the Amamoto twins over the course of about an hour.
*Listening to everyone (not so) silently laughing, screaming, crying, and otherwise sUfFeRiNg during the non-cheering midnight premiere of SSS Part 1 and realizing I had never felt so emotionally connected to any such other large group of complete strangers before.
*Going from the Nagoya premiere straight to the SSS greeting show in Tokyo where Junta Terashima looked at me... maybe. (I’d like to think he did.)
*When the OP played for the first time during our very first SSS livestream on Rabbit and seeing y’all just typing “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” into the chat.
*In Tokyo, walking out of KFC in the POURING rain and stumbling upon SePTENTRION’s shopping street despite having completely missed it the first time. IT WAS REAL.
*Glancing over at my TV screen during our very last SSS livestream on Rabbit and having the color drain from my face when I saw Shin in his Daisuki Refrain outfit (which was not shown in theaters) for the very first time two minutes before you guys in the chat would see it, and having no idea how to contain this emotion.
*Clicking to another tab after our last SSS livestream to type my commentary post and then clicking back to see you guys collectively making the Wiki page for SePTENTRION on Rabbit.
*Prism dolphin show.
*The CLOUD of real (fake) money flying through the air during Kakeru’s prism show on the during all-night Prism Shower showing of SSS. (Also people offering to pay for young Alexander to go to the Prism King Cup.)
*The miracle moment when I finally got the livestream for the Rose Party 2019 on Stage to work on Kast despite a typhoon and an earthquake. THE PRISM SPARKLE PREVAILED. Dangerously walking back to my hostel in said typhoon and sleeping for about an hour and not even caring because I was convinced more than ever that the prism sparkle is real.
*Seeing Shota Aoi live for the first time, realizing I was looking at a literal angel, and not knowing how to contain this emotion.
*The chills during an orchestral Dramatic Love.
*A very overdue performance by my favorite boy during the Best Ten movie. It was worth the wait. Feeling I may actually be able to leave Japan with no regrets thanks to Daisuki Refrain.
*The Best Ten greeting show in Nagoya where Masashi Igarashi jumped an original Nagoya-themed prism jump.
*Finally telling Junta Terashima and Masashi Igarashi my feelings in the letters I spent days writing to put in their present boxes at the SSS live.
*Dropping all my luggage when I stumbled upon the very place, the very scaffolding under which Minato met Kouji for the first time in Shizuoka. IT WAS REAL.
*Masashi Igarashi waved to me at the end of the 2nd performance of the SSS live... maybe. (I’d like to think he did.)
*Hearing the “Naaaani” response to anything ringing through the Makuhari Messe hall before the SSS live and just thinking about how far we’ve come as a fandom and yet how much has stayed the same.
Like I mentioned earlier, I had a moment in early 2016 when I hung up all the King of Prism stuff I had on my wall and thought “It was fun while it lasted.”
It looked like this:
Nowadays I have two FULL photo albums filled with concert tickets, theater bonuses, post cards, coasters, stickers... (Not to mention an entire drawer filled with my collection of Shin merch.)
Everything inside is a memory of some event I went to, something I ate at a cafe, some kind of experience I had such as the ones I talked about in this post... It’s always been pretty disorganized because I was constantly getting new things all the time.
But now that I have no idea when (...or if) it will be added to, I can finally take it all out and organize it by character or something.
But I’ve been avoiding it.
Because I know when I do, there will probably be a moment where I close the cover and think to myself “It was fun while it lasted.”
