I am surprised Itachi has fans still. Him torturing his brother to insanity so he can brain wash him into a nationalist later makes no god damn sense. Like his time skip motivation doesn’t even make sense with his pre time skip actions. He could have brain washed his dad not to rebel. Not to mention Danzo being okay with losing the villages at the time strongest clan makes no sense. His a nationalist spy master.
Never ever ignore the power of a sad looking evil Twink. Itachi fans were woobiefiying him before Kishi ass pulled his backstory. That kind of thing is something that lasts, especially if he was part of some of the biggest juggernaut ships and had his own modest sized shipping armada.
Also works in his favor that he had some fan preferred yaoi matchups in ItaDei (a.k.a. Dark™ SasuNaru), Kisaita (for when you want the sad murderous Twink to get the good hard dicking he doesn't deserve but whatever), or the Incest™.
Also, this isn't me kink shaming any ships. Everyone has their flavor and heck at some point I enjoyed the thought of ItaNaru so w/e. But shipping is intrinsically part of the reason Itachi had fans.
Also, none of his Revelation™ backstory makes sense (though the touch that Sasuke developed his Sharingan at that time is neat!), it devalued his character and just made Konoha (and the Uchiha as a whole) eminently useless. I liked Itachi better when his motivation was "to get stronger" it really sent a message, and given the while Narutoverse, could have expanded into so mething interesting.
instead we got that.
Not even "nationalist spy master" he's so bad at all the things he does??? If you tell me they let Itachi "go and spy on Akatsuki" just to get that massive liability out of Konoha I'd believe you.

MOMENTS WITH YOUR PREGNANT BELLY w/Jujutsu Kaisen
( CW ) f!reader, reader is pregnant(duh), tooth-rotting fluff
Featuring: Gojo Satoru, Toji Fushiguro, Nanami Kento, Geto Suguru
author's note: short rewrite from my old blog
☾ GOJO SATORU
"Toru, stop splashing my stomach!" you exclaimed at your playful husband, attempting to push the lukewarm bathwater onto your stomach, inadvertently splashing your face. "But she likes it, look!" he exclaimed with a huge smile as your daughter continued to kick your stomach. "I don’t need to look; I can feel it," you rolled your eyes. "Feels like she’s trying to break my ribs." You let out a little grunt when she kicks a particular spot. Satoru shoots a worried glance at you. "Are you alright?" he asks, rubbing smooth circles on your stomach. "I'm okay; she just keeps kicking the same spot," you gave him a small smile when he leans down to kiss your belly. "Hey now, take it easy on your momma, or no more splashes for you," he mummers to your stomach. As if your daughter understood, she stops and starts gently kicking in another area. "Look, Angel, she listened to me!" he exclaims before pushing more water into your stomach. "Toru! You got water in my nose!"
☾ TOJI FUSHIGURO
"Are you okay, beautiful?" Toji inquired, concern evident in his eyes as he observes you holding your stomach with a furrowed expression. "Just a big kick from the baby," you struggle to get out, your stomach contracting. "C'mere--lemme make you feel better, baby," he whispered, sitting up on the headboard of the bed and pulling you between his open legs. "What are you doing, Toji?" You question as your husband reached towards the nightstand to grab something. "Makin’ my girl feel better–just lay down and relax," he whispers in your ear before placing a gentle kiss on your shoulder. With the cramps becoming unbearable, you had no other choice but to obey. Eyes squeezed tight, body resting on Toji’s toned chest, you tense when he starts to gently massage your stomach with what feels like lotion. A moan of relief escaped you involuntarily. "That’s right, let me take care of you," he mummers, continuing the soothing massage.
☾ NANAMI KENTO
"Are you ready to taste heaven, babies?" Nanami smiles warmly at your stomach as if expecting your unborn twins to give a response. Quickly, he leans down and places two affectionate kisses on your stomach, one for each baby. "C'mon, Kento, ’m hungry!" you pout, crossing your arms over your chest. Nanami was supposed to be giving you new food items that he found online, but the more he talks, the more it seems like he's eager for his children to be the taste testers rather than you. "You know they can’t actually give you a review, right?" you question your husband, but he ignores your sass and reaches for a plate. "Duh, ‘course I know that, but they're still going to taste it inside of you," he says as if it's the most obvious thing. "Yeah, all mashed up and mixed with a bunch of different foods. Now, give me that plate–I’m hungry!" you insist, reaching out for the plate as your husband laughs.
☾ GETO SUGURU
"I don’t think they like me," Suguru grumbles, and you laugh as your unborn child tries and fails to kick their father's head off your stomach. "Hell," Suguru yanks his head up and glares at your protruding stomach. "Hey, don’t cuss at my baby," you laugh. "I wouldn’t have to if my baby wasn’t trying to give me a concussion," he rolls his eyes dramatically before rubbing his calloused fingers on your stomach, The baby kicks at his hand. "Don't be so dramatic, Sugu," you roll your eyes at your husband as he continues to tease your child with his hand. "How do you think I feel when they’re kicking my bladder at three AM?" you laugh. "You better not come out as moody as your mommy," he taunts before pressing a soft kiss on your stomach. "I’ll give you whatever you want when you come out if you let me lay down in peace, deal?" he whispers to your stomach, and all he gets is a harsh kick. "Deserved.” You huff out.

had to think about harry potter again bc my 8yo brother's found a stash of the books somewhere (gen confused where they came from bc ik I didn't buy them and my parents aren't the type to read and/or buy them so ???) and is blazing through them and.
yk this is not remotely a new observation but it just strikes me how much of a "what if You, abused person living a miserable life, are actually Inherently Better than your abusers and they just happen to come to an ironic comeuppance and you're whisked away to a happier life" fantasy they begin as and idk I get the overwhelming feeling of this could've been, y'know, Fine, if it stayed with that scope and didn't gain as much cultural weight as it did?
like yeah even within the first book there's already some rather uncomfortable subtext there but I don't remember the subtext then to be worse than the average popular fantasy book; if harry potter just remained with the scope it did, whatever happens with JKR, it as itself could've probably been yk. whatever. some unremarkable thing with some bad subtext that's not out of line with the average fantasy book. but ofc it escalates from this base and to my hazy memory of the books most of the remarkably bad parts of the books come from them trying to juggle the realism they so want to drape over themselves on top of its simple revenge/escape wish fulfillment foundation (and how the first few books just aimed for whatever's the most whimsical regardless of logic) and falling flat on its face
