Tokubetsu Jonin and Konoha's Founding AU Part 1

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

The squad of all time has arrived on scene.

[hyper-fixates]

i think it’s such a testament to just how good hugh looked in days of future past that we don’t acknowledge how 70s!logan would’ve looked closer to this:

apropos of nothing - if you wanna draw Raz or the rest of the Aquatos with hereditary dark circles/hyperpigmentation, it can be useful to take a look at how it appears on real people! dark circles have a very distinctive pattern - they're almost always darkest on the lower eyelid, and follow the lower edge of the eye socket. depending on how strong the pigmentation is, they might form a whole half-circle beneath the eye, or they might only be visible in the inside corner!

couple of photo examples on various skin tones below the cut:

in some cases, the pigmentation extends to the upper eyelid (following the inside of the eye socket); but generally, dark circles are most visible on the lower eyelid! obviously, you can stylise it however you want, this isn't a PSA or a tutorial lol. but using photo ref is always helpful, especially when you're referencing how real traits look on real people!

I kind of ended up w a small pile of Hatake ocs and lore to fill the early konoha timeline void, and a big thing is like. They all die to preserve the narrative. A lot of them very young bc again, made to fill the time line, so logically, there had to be some Hatake kids/teenagers who met an unfortunate end.

So I'm kinda sitting here considering a 4 part fic where each chapter revolves around a specific Hatake and their inevitable death, w maybe a bonus chapter at the end being about Sakumo

"Death of the Wolves," the unfortunate end of the Hatake's, told in 4 parts

The Hatake's helped set the Konoha standard rule of "a team can only be made up of so many % of one clan" (with special exceptions) after a large chunk of them got sent on a mission together bc of their specializations and all wound up dead, wiping out a solid 90% of the clan in one night.

Actually, expanding on that bc the tragedy is so good -> I already established that in my time line, the Hatake head, Haruka (Sakumo's mother, Tobirama and Hashirama's aunt) died under a week after Tobirama's death, and she would have lead that failed mission. Does that mean one of Hiruzen's first acts as war time Hokage resulted in the accidental slaughter of his beloved dead Sensei's mother's clan? That's amazing actually, so much drama there. I bet him Danzo and Kagami argued like crazy after that monumental fuck up, probably went on to define how he feels ab being Hokage / what that entails. Fun times!

Anyways, I'd also be very interested in exploring early konoha politics n stuff. Especially from the multiple views of not the people in charge of making the village but the ones who are living in it. The view from the ground up, instead of looking down from the tower. The younger generations being brought to this new village, going from their isolated clan lands to suddenly being surrounded by others their age from different clans, possible for the first time ever depending on their age and their clans level of secrecy.

Also, I really wanna poke at the outsider pov of Madara and other founders— but mostly Madara bc I find his downfall very fun to think about, especially from the POV of someone not in his clan.

I'm so in love w the take of the Hatake's being fond of Madara bc "he'd make a very good Hatake." Something about the two tropes of the Uchiha being a clan that loves love and the Hatake being a clan w similar values when it comes to family and loyalty just meshes so well.

Comedy moment where Haruka is weirdly insistent on Madara potentially marrying into the clan, not even for the politics or anything but specifically bc she NEEDS a cute squishy Hatake baby with his massive hair. She NEEDS IT, MADARA.

Anyways also just the early konoha inter clan drama but like. From the eyes of the clan kids. The Uchiha kids seem to be having some sort of terf war with the Senju— but it was interrupted by the Hyuuga, and now the Senju and Uchiha kids are somehow banding together against the Hyuuga? But oh no now the Nara kids are teaming up w the Hyuuga, and the Hatake kid (singular bc there's literally only like 1) seems to have an actual blood feud going on with the Hyuuga clan heir— but the older Hatake teenagers are fond of the Hyuuga's baby clan heir so it's just a mess. All the clan drama but with none of the tragedy bc everyone involved is a child.

Meanwhile the older clan members are somehow bonding over their children's fights bc they're all struggling to pull them away, or going "what the fuck do you mean you teamed up with the SENJU??" Then sharing a disbelieving Look(tm) w the opposing Senju's parents before realizing what they just did and having a crisis of faith ab it

Meanwhile the teenagers are having a wonderful time, especially those from smaller more isolated clans like the Hatake. There's so much romantic drama, there's probably a whole shinobi soap opera happening in that direction. Hormonal shinobi teenagers from opposing clans just got dropped into the same dating pool it's gonna be a MESSSS.

Even funnier if you take crumbs from my senju weed empire au and like. Some of these clans regularly smoke n stuff. Meanwhile other clans have never touched a psychedelic in their life. Some are especially vulnerable to drugs due to heightened senses (Orochi, Inuzuka, Hatake) while others have been smoking since they were younger and have an insane tolerance and very much distorted views of a reasonable amount of weed to smoke (Senju, Nara, Shiranui) There is no way in hell that goes well. Someone is going to get fucked up in a MAJOR way.

Well-intentioned Nara accidentally gets a bunch of dog wired guys and one snake high out of their fucking minds, the high lasts a full week for some of them and one sometimes wonders if they ever really came down from it

Anyways I got a bit off track but yeah! Early Konoha fic that revolves around the daily lives of differently aged Hatake ocs, taking a look from different angles of Konoha and all the silly clan drama and daily lives of an early Konoha shinobi— each chapter being different degrees of generally lighthearted, but ending in the Hatake's death. The fact that each Hatake is in with a different crowd and is a different age would make it even more fun and easier to explore the different layers Konoha has to offer! It's for sure on my list of things I wanna write

(Also I'd really love to have it just so I can point to it as a good introduction for my Hatake ocs. I love tricking people into learning ab my ocs it's great)

Dick or no dick confirmation Pickles was always going to be trans to me anyways; if he's swingin' somethin that's phallo babes, if he's not then his t-dick fat. What's not to get.

[allgremlinart]

everyone in the tags on this post of mine saying this is the only version of kataang they'd like make me feel a little insane but I'm being really brave about it

[cuteniarose]

Personally I find it really funny that based on what the twins said in the Book 2 finale re: having to tell their mom about what happened to Unalaq, it's literally canon that Unalaq's wife a) exists, b) is alive, and c) is just chilling in the Northern Water Tribe

She took one look at all the spirit fuckery her husband was getting up to and went "Well that's none of my business" and honestly I respect that

I like to dunk on the (watsonian) Jedi Council for giving Anakin a padawan so soon after he was knighted like everybody else but listen. I had to do some ~story math~ for a fic and Anakin probably isn't that far outside of the norm?

Like. He's very young for a knight, no doubt, and Ahsoka is pretty old for an initiate. Anakin is 19 and Ahsoka is 14 when they're assigned to one another.

HOWEVER - going off the idea that most apprenticeships are a decade or so and most initiates become padawans between the ages of 11 and 13:

Dooku would have only been 20 or so when he took on his first padawan. Depending on whether you go with Legends or current canon, it was either Rael or Qui-Gon. In Legends Dooku is only a decade older than Qui-Gon Jin (his first padawan who he takes on at the age of 10), while in current canon they're 20 years apart. However, in canon Qui-Gon is his second apprentice. Rael's apprenticeship would have taken a decade, putting Dooku at 20ish when he takes Rael on.

Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura are only 9 years apart. Also based off the dates given on the wiki for Legends, but Quinlan finds Aayla during his own apprenticeship, and later takes her on. Even if Aayla had been 13 or 14 when she became a padawan, Quinlan still would have been 22 or 23.

Qui-Gon is interesting for a couple reasons: Feemor and Xanatos aren't canon, and Qui-Gon is 12 years older in Legends. So, in canon, Qui-Gon was about 35 when he took on Obi-Wan, his first apprentice. In Legends, though, Qui-Gon is 48 when he takes on Obi-Wan after 9 years without a padawan. Xanatos, his second, left the Order at 16, so we can assume that Qui-Gon trained him for 5 or 6 years, putting him at 33 when they start. Assuming that Feemor's apprenticeship took a decade, Qui-Gon would have been about 23 when he took on his first padawan.

Depending on how old Depa Billaba is and how many padawans Mace trained he was probably in his early 20s when he chose an an apprentice. Mace is 53 during Order 66, and he had to have taken Depa on at least 24 years ago (Depa has been on the Council for 14 years at the time of Order 66, assuming that her apprenticeship was 10 years. The number is probably closer to 28, given that Depa was a knight for a while before she was on the council) which puts Mace somewhere between 25 and 29. In Legends, though, Mace has had several padawans, which honestly doesn't make any sense on the timeline. So Mace was probably 25 or so, the same age as Obi-Wan when he took on Anakin.

Anyways, what I'm getting at is that Anakin isn't that much younger than some of the other Jedi who were knighted young. Dooku was almost certainly 20 when he took on a padawan, and Quinlan easily could have only been 20 or 21. Anakin and Ahsoka are both on the extreme end of their respective roles, but there would have been precedent for a brand new young knight being given a padawan right off the bat.

Hello! :D If art requests are still open could you maybe draw something Autumn Oak/Linda Stampler please?

Thank you! :]

they deserved so much better

[askkeni]

So she's an experiment of Orochimaru's, huh? How'd she get out and find the Akatsuki?

She is! I have two possible ideas of how she got out: 1. her new inherited kekkei genkai (mokuton/wood release) unwittingly helped her escape, or 2. Yamato, in his attempt to help the other test subjects, managed to take out the only other child who successfully obtained Hashirama's genes.

In any case, Keni looked like this

She bloomed away from Orochimaru's lab :]

The Akatsuki intervene later in her life when she starts receiving (bad) attention from the surrounding area.

Oh yay, we have new lions who we’re all definitely going to make prominent characters of in our fanfics. (Starts typing aggressively)

Here’s the link to the video these guys showed up in for anyone wondering.

Need y'all to know that it is canon to me that Matthäus was a stowaway on the "Good Fortune" (the sailing ship Friederick served on for most of his life) and that it amuses me greatly to imagine "I'll be your friend wether you want to or not" Matthäus meeting "please for the love of the gods just leave me alone" Friederick.

i think my headcanon is that bob's burgers is actually still in like, 2011-2013.. . they make modern references on occasion (gene makes a joke about the fidget spinners fiasco in a later episode i watched) but. i feel like they just belong in that time span y'know. it's like their natural habitat. all that truly matters here though is that the breaking bad burger of the day can still exist
