#also me: wait OG Naruto or Naruto Shippuden?

[hotgirltobi]

Assigned Naruto Character Game:

My partner and I assigned each other Naruto characters based on personality, and I thought it was a fun coincidence that we ended up with a student and sensei pairing from the same team.

My October toy haul finally arrived! Yay! I was finally able to get a grail for me, that I've been after for a long, long time. It is by a Chinese company, that made figures for their Chinese market only. They were unlicensed, but they weren't making copied products, only their own original sculpts based on licenses they didn't hold. They are no longer around, and this figure is from 2014, and quite huge for such a figure. I wish Nendoroids were as big (Sasuke Nendo released in 2017, so no, not a copy of that), or at least Q Poskets were this big. But then they would be $100USD, instead of $20-30. I wasn't able to get it back when it was released, so it took a whole lot of waiting, but finally, one of my friends saw one and asked right away if I still wanted it, even if it was opened! I wish it was still sealed, but oh well, I can't pass this opportunity, since I don't know if I'll ever come across this figure again in my lifetime. If I do, and it's sealed, I'll get it again! Lol!

From far left top, to fron right front row: Banpresto Nisio Isin Anime Project Monogatari Series Second Season Chibi KyunChara "Oni Monogatari" Koyomi Araragi (Game-prize) Non-Scale FIgure; Good Smile POP UP PARADE Attack on Titan Eren Yeager Suit Ver. Complete Figure; Sekiguchi U-NOA QULUTS Azurite Jinemama Ver. Complete Doll; Penguin Parade InuYasha Petanko Acrylic Keychain vol.1 Sesshomaru; NARUTO Shippuden VIBRATION STARS -UCHIHA SASUKE- III (Game-prize) Non-Scale Figure; Chaoercomics Non-Scale Sasuke Uchiha Deformed Non-Scale Figure; BANDAI SPIRITS Figuarts ZERO BORUTO Kizuna Relation "BORUTO NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS" Sasuke Uchiha Non-Scale Figure; SR-GYM "Resident Evil: Death Island" Cut Out Acrylic Stand Leon Scott Kennedy; CS.FRONT "Attack on Titan" The Final Season Clear File 01 Eren.

I also got my first ever U-Noa doll! It's the one produced by Sekiguchi, but I can't say I don't love the idea that it's not resin. I wish it was a head sculpt with inset eyes, so that it would have that OG U-Noa Azurite feeling, but beggars can't be choosers. I also wish it was one of the more roker-themed ones, with clothes that are closer to t-shirt and jeans, or even better straight rock/punk-ish, but I will settle for this one. Since, this is the only one I'll probably ever be able to get -- I don't believe I have ever seen them on my regular Japanese retailers before, I don't feel I'll get to see another for pre-order as easily ever again. He is a beautiful doll, and I love him, but I wish his clothes or at least his hair was darker, in theme. I love all the Sasuke stuff; I hope to be able to get a second of the Figuarts Zero to unbox one. I already have a second Vibration Stars III waiting in Japan to be shipped. My Eren Suit PUP has a right eye that's bigger than the left... I don't know how to feel about that...But I do love the clear file. I should really stop hoarding those. DX

Also added three Nanana Surprise Minis Series 2, I was able to find locally! I got one from series one from Amzn, back when those released, but I never saw them locally. I fear I completely missed out on getting CJ Cuddles, and so I just got the three from this series I really wanted, before I can't find them in stores anymore. I am also eyeing the kitty one... we'll see, if I get her as well.

For the WIP procrastination ask meme!!

🤔, 🤡, and 🛠️

Thank you so much for the ask, Cyhyr!!! ✨ ✨ ✨ and sorry to keep you waiting, it's been a crappy start to the new year, but things are looking up! 🤔 What’s a story you’d love to write but haven’t even started yet? Oh gosh, that would totally be an Iruka Gaiden, where we follow him through his teens into adult life and get to see OG Naruto and Shippuden from his perspective. I think about it a lot, and I have not a single word written down. It's probably not a realistic project for me, not as a longfic anyway, it's a vibe, perfect daydream material. I suppose I could always just write separate scenes and connect them as a series - which wouldn't have crossed my mind if it weren't for your ask so thank you!!!

🤡 How many Wips are you actively working on? 16..... I should maybe update some of them from active to deferred... (I use a naming system in my drive to keep track - active, done, deferred - then I can easilly filter it out). Maybe if I haven't edited the file in 6 months it doesn't count as active? At least not at the moment? (If so we'd be down to 6 but if I count a whole year back then 11). I am a sloooow writer so maybe active within a year is reasonable for me hehehe. So yeah, the amended number is 11.

🛠 Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?

A specific drabble came to mind as soon as I read the question! I have this super sweet kkir drabble "Morning light" that should be done and ready to post, it's even betaed (I asked someone to beta for the first time, and they were awesome too!). I just can't get the wording right at the end (the second to last sentence). I know the vibe I want to invoke but I just can't get there, it's supposed to be fluffy and sweet but also nervous about a budding relationship. Every time it pops up in my drive it makes me suffer just a little LOL but I'm still hoping for sudden clarity to fix it.

[chattegeorgiana]

Hello Chatte, hope all is well!

I wanted to ask what’s your favorite arc in the OG Naruto & Shippuden if you had to pick one from each series? Also do you have any other manga/anime that you enjoy? Either from back then or any of the new modern ones? Also do enjoy other kinds of media like Western comics (Marvel, DC, Indie) or have a certain genre of traditional literature?

One final thing is I’m glad to see more NaruSakura love on social and how more and more people see the blatant “discrepancies” in the writing.

Heyaa!

Hmm, hard to choose because I love most arcs from OG - Zabuza & Haku, FOD, Tsunade Retrieval Arc & Sasuke Retrieval one are absolute beasts. Or Neji's talk about destiny in Chuunin exams? Or the Chuunin exams alltogether?

I don't know, OG was reaaaaaaaaaally wonderful.

In Shippuden tho? For me it's 3 that I adore - Sasori arc, Pein arc & Kushina one. The others are so and so for me.

As for other mangas/anime yeah I do - Sailor Moon (I grew up with it), FMA, Death Note to name a few.

I haven't read much of the modern ones tbh. After Naruto ended and I saw how the industry is becoming I said pass. Though from what I'm hearing Black Clover & MHA seem promising and tbh I'm curious about those.

Oh wait I also need to catch-up to Vinland. LOVE that one. I like AOT as well but for me the ending fell short tbh.

As for Western side I loved X-Men the animated series (I literally ADORE Storm), Batman, Superman, Thor (I have a thing for characters with lighting/weather control as you can see haha)...

Indie tbh I haven't read any until now.

As for genre/ I lean towards the fantasy/fantasy-sci-fi mix/underdog type of stories.

For example Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite stories.

But yeah, this is kinda it what I can name from the top of my head.

As for NaruSaku, well, I'm just glad there are still people out there who love them. The other things are just bonuses tbh.

It was clear as daylight that they did a 180 and changed the direction of the story.

But alas, it is what it is. Our love for them (or at least in my case), isn't dependent on some face-value canon validation.

Had NS had the writing SS or NH had, I wouldn't have wanted it either. I'm picky about my ships and the development they receive.

They gotta be solid or else I don't want it.

Anyway, thanks for your question and wishing you a nice rest of your day/night!

[justjstuff]

Naruto ask: 7, 14, and 15. I love seeing other people's fave openings and closings 😁

Hellooo and thankiu! <3

7) which battle was your favorite

This is soooo hard!!! I think either Kakashi vs Kakuzu or Sakura vs Sasori. They weren't the most emotional but I find them entertaining every time I go back to them

14) which opening is your favorite

omg I literally cannot choose. For OG naruto maybe GO! or Yura Yura? But I also kinda like Seishun Kyousoukyoku. And then Shippuden....... Hero's come back??? I think. No, wait. Distance. NO IT'S DEFINITELY BLUE BIRD!!! Actually it's Hotaru no Hikari. You know what. I'm not gonna try to answer this anymore

15) which closing is your favorite

sigh... Wind for OG and Nagareboshi for Shippuden? But also Broken Youth bc it's very sn lmao but bacchikoi is so ridiculous I kinda love it lmfao

ASK ME A NARUTO QUESTION

OR A FIC QUESTION

[joltai-showa]

naruto reread third edition chapter three woohoo

welp, it was a good run, manga sucks now lmao

just kidding, of course, but Sasuke is by far my least favorite character in the entire series. He's okay in OG Naruto, but literally every arc with him in Shippuden makes me want to bash my head against the nearest wall. And no, the fight with Deidara isn't the main reason for my passionate hatred of this prick. I've never agreed with a Sasuke fan once in those almost 10 years since I read the manga for the first time, but I do agree that Sasuke's fate is justifiedly dramatic and it's not surprising that he lashes out against those near him, but acting like he's some paragon of virtue and was right in all of his unhindged endeavors, particularly after the Itachi reveal, is first degree clownery at its finest lmao

(also the Uchiha clan sucks too. Not necessary from in-world perspective, but from writing perspective, mid-Shippuden Kishimoto really lost the sauce with those assholes and starting giving them any possible powers that he could think of)

another fun fact but I never found any of the Uchiha members attractive lmao. if you're wondering how the hell did I manage to write 35k from Deidara's pov having hots for Obito, listen, it's her pov, not mine, I just locked the fuck in and did it lmao

last thing before continuing with the chapter, main Uchiha guys from least annoying to most annoying accodring to me: Itachi > Madara >>>>>> Obito >>> Sasuke. Itachi mostly never gets on my nerves, so gotta love him for that, Madara sucks at times because he happens to appear on the stretches of manga when Kishi stopped caring about the plot and started the Uchiha bootlicking 24/7, but at least he didn't get a shitty "rEdEmPTioN ArC" (i guess i should be thanking Kaguya for that, bleh), with Obito I am stuck in a perpetual cycle of "there is no way he is that bad in canon, I must have been overdramatic when reading" -> *rereads the manga* -> "oh my fucking god he is not just bad, he is simply awful", he is just the ultimate victim of Naruto being written backwards and Kishi making a cool twist but never actually properly working on his motivations, a real shame, he's got a lot of potential, but canon Obito has one of the worst character arcs in the entire series, so I can only enjoy fanon Obito and fans' work that actually utilizes many many things this character has to offer. I already said a lot about Sasuke, but at times his writing is much better than Obito's, so he's a little less annoying to me (that's generally not an achievement on his part, it's Kishi writing Obito so badly LMAO)

bish you live like this?

but also again WHY THE FUCK NARUTO LIVED HIS ENTIRE GODDAMN LIFE ALONE??? HIRUZEN WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? IT'S A FUCKING CHILD, WHY IS HE UNSUPERVISED? DO YOU REALLY EXPECT HIM TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO MANAGE THE MONEY, COOK AND CLEAN AFTER HIMSELF? YOU SORRY PIECE OF SHIT, YOUR GRANDSON HAS A PRIVATE TUTOR, BUT THE CHILD OF KONOHA'S HEROES WHO PRETTY MUCH ENTRUSTED HIM INTO THE VILLAGE'S CARE LIVES LIKE THIS?

Kushina has a full time job of wooping Hiruzen's ass in the afterlife, I swear to god

also let's talk about the absolutely horrendous conditions orphans in Konoha live in? There are more obvious cases like the kids that Root takes in, they are raised into emotionless killing machines since the first moment they become their training (child abuse🥰), but even kids who didn't catch ANBU's eye are just... Obviously, we've got Naruto and he's a case of straight up neglect from both his supposed caretakers (literally any of his future teachers, but particularly Jiraya who is supposed to be his goddamn godfather) and Hiruzen, but this is Kishi rewriting everything there ever was and by Mid-Shippuden Naruto is suddenly a literal prophesied hero, a messiah and loved by everyone and everything and those who hate him are either irredeemibly evil or poor little babies who are waiting for a pep talk by Naruto to turn good again (c) Anyway, we've got some bigger fish to fry and it's cases of Kakashi and Sasuke in particular. I am not really worried in cases of Obito and Neji, because both of them lived somewhere near their clans (even if their clan sucked absolute ass, sorry for your loss, Neji), so we can at least assume that some of the older members of their clans could keep an eye on them and, y'know, fucking FEED them, but Sasuke's and Kakashi's living situations are... oooof. I might be misremembering stuff, but in the manga Sasuke is never shown to move from his house, he in fact is shown to return home and cry over the bloodied floor of the room where Fugaku and Mikoto were killied (Hiruzen is a cleaning service really this fucking expensive jesus christ), so what we have is an orphaned kid who lives in the same house his parents were murdered, in the same house his big brother tortured him psychologically, in the same district where piles of his relatives' corpses were lying. Also completely alone.

Do I need to say anything, Hiruzen?

Kakashi is even worse, because not only he lived alone in the same house his only other living family member aka his dad ended his life, I believe that the blade he carried later also happened to be the family relic that his dad used in his final moments. On top of all that, he continued to live alone in that house even after his teammate sacrificed his life for his sake, gave him his eye and this eye happens to be the only thing that remained of said teammate because he was crushed alive. He continued to live alone in that house even after he accidentaly killed the girl he promised to protect with his life, but ended up using the jutsu he managed to develop after aquiring a Sharingan to end her life. He continued to live alone in that house even after his only remaining team member aka his teacher died in a freak accident when half of the village got destroyed.

God damn. Like, Obito's fate is absolutely horrendous, sure, but you gotta admit at least he had a reason to continue living. The only thing I can say about Kakashi is how the fuck did you live to 27 years.

tl; dr Kakuzu should've opened a therapy service for shinobi and Akatsuki could have simply bought off all of the Beasts simply with that money LMAO

Kishi could not draw girls for the life of him at the beginning of the manga and it shows lol, she's so scrunky

honestly relatable Naruto

also Sasuke's haircut looks like a duck's ass and the resemblances only grows stronger in Shippuden

fucking hell I really am just Naruto, aren't I...

oh look it's the canon event kid :D

the following 697 chapters will be spent attempting to explain to the readers that this scene does not in fact allude to the endgame ship. unsuccessfully, of course lmao.

seriously Kishi is so terrible at writing romance, the only believable and toleralable ship he had managed to produce through the entire 700 chapter run of the manga is MinaKushi and they're fucking dead

i think I'll be mentioning extensively later what I think about Kishimoto writing women in general (spoiler: I really don't think that most of Naruto female cast is even good, most of the time they are decent at best, even if my heart is filled to the brim with love to some of the girls, they simply can not compete with women written by other mangakas), but after 10 years since my first read of Naruto I still stand by the observation that my 13 year old self made at the time: sometimes it feels like Kishimoto not only never talked with a woman, but never even seen them in the first place

"why are you so homophobic Sakura-chan😱"

I swear I'm gonna have an aneurism if these 13 year old numbsticks are called "full-fledged shinobi", BRO THEY'RE GONNA DIE AFTER 5 MINUTES ON A SERIOUS MISSION

Okay, so another weird thing that I'm really not sure if is a rewrite/plothole/whatever, BUT

jonins aka the highest ranking you can be given unless your Kage happens to have a tragic untimely accident and you are chosen as the replacement are supposed to be really rare, like "you can count the number of them on your fingers" rare. Of course, Naruto's plot is constantly revolving around at least one jonin-level character, so we as readers see them in overabundance compared to what realistically should be taking place within the universe

here's a terrible illustration by yours and only on how the shinobi rankings should be spread out in general lmao.

Coming back to what Iruka says: why is it that jonins are supposed to be teaching the three-man teams of full-fledged shinobi children? Jonins are cream de la cream of the hierarchy, they are pretty much the highest ranking officers in the villages, save for the Kage, of course, I'm pretty sure they should be busy with something more important, like leading their own fully trained squads/divisions, not looking after little Timmiemaru and making sure that he doesn't accidentaly stab himself with a kunai. And come to think of it, the entire system is weirdly skewed, because Iruka is a chunin who teaches Academy kids who are below genins in the hierarchy, so at the end of the day we have Kages who (supposedly) work 24/7 on the external and interal affairs of the village and probably the country, jonins who do the missions and train genins, chunins who do the missions and train Academy kids and genins being genins. Now I am not advocating for 13 year olds to be teaching 7 year olds, but considering the fact that you need to pass a murder exam the chunin exam to get the rank, I think there should be quite the number of people who never pass/don't want to pass in the first place, so genins can be quite old and experienced enough to teach (hi Maito Dai).

Anyway, there's certainly more than 9 students in that room when Iruka announces that they are getting divided into teams. Did the remaining 18 guys got shafted? "We've only got three available jonins, so only the most talented kids/kids from important clans will be trained"? Or did the 18 guys got some sane teachers that didn't decide to send them to the murder exam after 6 months of missions? Wait, the kids are getting paid for the missions, right? I am not sure whether I should be worried about the unpaid child labor or the fact that 13 year olds (who should really be like 10 year olds judging by the amount of times Naruto flunked the Academy exam) have to enter the workforce at such an age.

(now these are the questions that should be raised by people hating on the shinobi system, Kishi, and not twenty flashbacks in a row to the girl they liked 17 years ago)

that's really awfully convinient that the new generation of InoShikaCho happened to have abilities approximately equal to the ones of other teams, huh, Iruka

(Konoha is built on Hashirama's wood and pure fucking nepotism lmaoooo)

jesus fucking chirst that's some choice of words from the translator

was the translator aware at the time that this is a 13 year old girl's monologue they are translating? i know teenagers are freaky, but this is supposed to be the official translation, why are we getting to the upper bound of PG rating

what even in the world is this dialogue

bro really be laser focused on Naruto since his first appearance huh

nevermind Sakura's bashing on Naruto's status as an orphan (which is really weird to me, because not only that 5 years before she and others in Kakashi's, Kurenai's and Asuma's teams were born there was a giant World War and realistically quite of few kids their age should've lost their parents there, but there also was this little incident with Nine-Tails running over everyone in the village the year they were born, so there should be A LOT of orphans of Sakura's age, yet she's being this... mean? I guess, I wouldn't call her cruel, to Naruto), I've got a bigger question: how the hell did you miss the news of Uchiha massacre and Sasuke's living situation? The kids were like 8 at the time, they should have heard of it, I mean, ONE OF THE FOUNDING CLANS AND A LARGE ONE AT THAT got murked in a single night, yet in the 5 following years Sakura never learned about it, being Sasuke's #1 fan? Maybe it's me misremembering stuff, buuuuut...

(anyway Kishi I've got a bigger question but where the fuck is the Senju clan? The poor repressed Uchiha clan by the time of the massacre stiil had dozens of members if not hundreds, but Senju clan, the other founding clan of similar size, just went poof?)

(my personal headcanon regarding this is that Tsunade during her 20 year long depressive episode took all of clans money and gambled it away :D so the remaining members of the Senju clan just kinda scattered through the countries trying to find the money for themselves and just distanced from the whole shinobi business)

THE MYTH THE MAN THE LEGEND!

Holy fuck I almost died laughing at his first interaction ever, like what the fuck is this.

Kakashi: his milk's expired. Hiruzen, nervously wiping away sweat: he's just clumsy! Kakashi: he's 13 and grew up without adult supervision, I'm not even sure if he can read the dates on the milk. Hiruzen: why are you being such a hater, Kakashi?🥺 Kakashi: not as much of a hater as my sensei and his wife are going to be to you in the afterlife, I guess.

also, Hiruzen, you know what is Kakashi even better choice for? VISITING FUCKING THERAPY

"You have a talent for sniffing things out", sniffing out what, the expired milk on mini-Minato? Gods Hiruzen you suckkkkk

that is a fucking threat and you know this, Hiruzen

LMAAAAAAAAAOOOOOO

you've got no idea, Kakashi

raising these dinguses is already an A rank mission bordering S, but how about accidentaly stumbling upon the guy who you assumed died over 15 years ago after being crushed into meat paste? :D

[bry-smiles]

top 5 narutos

Okay, if you insist.

1. Perfect Sage Mode Naruto -- Naruto at his peak, fighting against Pain after learning the rasengan, rasenshuriken, gaining control over ninjutsu, and moving beyond just following in Jiraiya's footsteps, finally surpassing him. This is peak Naruto to me -- he has so much conviction and has practiced so much. He's so confident. I will never forget when he arrived at Konoha to fight Pain and win, justice for his home and to protect his people, standing on top of Gamabunta.

2. Shippuden Naruto -- altogether a very solid design. It's not fashionable at all. But it's very functional, which is fitting, and the design is dramatic and striking while clearly unfinished, clearly missing something, just like Naruto himself. It's waiting for accessories that represent his future skillset, like his sage cloak. It's such a powerful representation of who Naruto is at this point of his story -- young man who is simply not ready for all the things he wants to do, who has yet to complete emotional maturity and has so much to learn ahead of him, but is finally coming to grasp with that and is truly taking steps forward to being there. More than that, this is the design where Naruto as an IP and a character truly began to take itself -- take himself seriously.

3. Hokage Naruto -- the Naruto that has achieved all his dreams. He is the strongest ninja in the hidden leaf village, and he wears the hokage's robe proudly. It's wonderful that he finally got there, and to see how strikingly similar he looks to his own father, wearing the same coat. But points deducted because it mostly features in Boruto.

4. Nine-Tails Chakra Mode Naruto -- technically the most powerful Naruto, but the visual style of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode is super clunky in the anime and it just kinda rubs me the wrong way. It's like if super saiyan could be done wrong. It's too over the top. But, it is still a cool transformation and is Naruto at his most powerful.

Six Paths Sage Mode Naruto -- ironically more powerful than perfect sage mode, we barely ever see this transformation independent of Nine-Tails Chakra mode. This is a deus ex machina power up and altogether pretty unclear what it does or what it is. Overall, very disappointing, but the eyes are insanely cool, a fusion of the vertical fox slits and the horizontal toad slits, resulting in the plus-shaped pupils on the orange sage mode iris.

(Dis)honorable Mentions:

OG Naruto -- His fit? Wack. His personality? Wack. His voice? Wack. His abilities? Wack. But what he becomes? That's tight as FUCK.

Naked Girl Naruto -- way too horny for a show marketed almost entirely towards teen children. Also kind of weird in retrospect given that Naruto canonically has a uterus and gave birth to his children from it?

[darkclouud9]

people talk about Hoki's appearance and how he's like Kakashi/Yamato child or whatever bc he looks up to Kakashi, but has Yamato's hair colour

but like....... Matsuri....

I have a couple images of her but this specific one, her eyes look like Yamato's. I think this might be og, then they drew her eyes differently for shippuden, because the others have open eyes

but the Kakashi reasoning was just her lil forearm protectors

oh I do have a picture of Hoki wait

still confuses me bc...... he wears his hitae-ate over his eye like Kakashi does...... but..... Hoki would've been born AFTER Kakashi lost the sharingan even???? like. his face on the hokage mountain doesn't have the lopsided hitae-ate, in fact it actually still HAS the hitae-ate he's also not the only one wearing (some form of) it on the hokage mountains bc Tobirama's wearing his happuri too (and Hashirama and Naruto)

I don't watch boruto so idk why Hoki wears his hitae-ate like that sowwy if there's an actual reason

[oscar-piastri]

do i clean, do i edit or do i just nap to make up for the awful night i had

[tired-biscuit]

How and when did you fall in love with kiba?Like in og naruto or in shippuden?Tell us about your one-sided love story

oml, this is gonna be a long one. i apologize in advance!! ✨

so, i always thought he was super cool in og naruto [especially 'cause he was really sweet to hinata], but i didn't really pay attention to kiba until the sasuke retrieval arc.

first of all, lemme just say that the fight he had with one of the sound four, was fucking amazing. i literally remember jumping off my bed and being all excited, with my nose nearly pressed against the tv when he transformed into that two-headed beast.

his fighting style is super chaotic, but absolutely terrifying. it's nothing but brutal power and relentless force. he'd tear you right apart.

and idk, ig it was just so goddamn cool to see the fight in him and how stubborn he was in not giving in.

i mean, my boy was literally ready to go along with a suicide mission, in order to bring back someone who he didn't even particularly care about [sasuke].

i don't care what anybody says; kiba is a badass and if that ain't loyalty, then i dunno what is. shikamaru chose him as a comrade for a reason.

he looked death right in the eye and said "time for you to die" while stabbing himself in the gut and grinning. and he did that at the age of twelve, mind you. twelve.

also, i know i'm not the only one who was totally surprised to see his hood fall off when that fucker punched him in the stomach. i always thought that that was his hair lmfao.

and then shippuden came, and i remember where they showed a shadow up in the tree, and i was like "wait, i know that voice" to my bf while he was just like 👀 [he already had a hunch that kiba was gonna be my fave, even though i insisted that it was kakashi.]

and when he all of a sudden stomped shino into the ground - six feet under and all that, and that shippuden drip came into view... well, i was hooked. i was like "yup, he's my favourite" in that exact moment. like the leather jacket and the black joggers, my manz cleaned upppp!!

i loved anything to do with kiba from the start of shippuden, basically. and then i saw his war arc look and nearly went feral over the jonin vest and the sharpness of his eyes.

he looked so GOOD during the war arc, oml. like sir, SIR!! notice me, plssss!! i'm right here!! don't look at madara - look at me 💫

and don't even get me started on the last version of kiba. he gets so bulky and adorable as he grows older, i just wanna hug him. i loved him with the short hairstyle [still do], but the slightly longer, messy hair and the fur coat really fit the aesthetic of his clan.

also, the fact that as much as he grew, the bigger his canine teeth got as well. idk how many people noticed, but ever since the last, he has both teeth poking over his bottom lip instead of one, and i think it's the cutest thing ever 💞✨

i just love kiba so muuuch, and i'm sorry for rambling, but ahhhh!! 😭 he brings me so much comfort and joy.

truly my fave himbo king ✨

[fireblight]

sasuke :-)

favorite platonic/familial relationships: ( accepting! )

a song that reminds me of them: we're a hivemind on this one because grandson - blood in the water is a Huge Sasuke Tune

what they smell like: if we're considering your sasuke then just like. the fucking worst. real gross bear grylls living and fighting in the woods bullshit like sweat and burning and mud and grease

an otp: in general i must admit i do have sns brainworms i love those boys :( also sasukarin has always been one of my og ships. surprise to none. i do also love sasusui and sasujuu but i hate to break u and raz's hearts but i lean more towards sasujuu like "i'll be your cage" bitch... the poetics of it all. i think that's literally all of my sasuke ships though i only see him with naruto or taka lmfao but i'm open minded if it's Done Well. i just think sasuke is like incredibly difficult to actually ship without sacrificing his characterization. ACTUALLY WAIT!! gaasasu has potential but i mostly like gaara just fucking hating the guy and sasuke has a weird crush on him . narugaa and sasunaru working in tandem is so peak

a notp: the one that ended up canon :/ although I think I COULD have liked it but actually it becoming canon made it even more of a notp lol. i like them as divorced best friends though i read a sns boruto fic and sasuke and sakura were just hanging out and discussing the divorce and being Friends and sakura was a lesbian it was very good . if canon had given us literally any inclination that sasuke liked her either platonically or romantically in a way that wasn't like tacked on at the end i would have been down to clown since i get it vibe-wise, i think canon didn't deliver and actually canon made it even more unlikable bc it's just so miserable :( they deserve better tbh. Mostly sakura. fuck weird sasuke stans who think sakura is the problematic one in that relationship leave her alone xo

favorite platonic/familial relationships: DESPITE WHAT I SAID EARLIER I LOVE SARADA!!!! she never did anything wrong whatsoever. i've only seen a bit of them but i think sasuke being an embarrassing terrible but trying his best dad is so good actually "peanut" and the icha icha novel lives in my head rent free. his dynamic w boruto is also super cute. i love kakashi as sasuke's surrogate dad too they're both freaks and they deserve to smoke weed together

a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with: i cannot stand soft boy sasuke in fics honestly where he just feels like a self insert. i DO think sasuke has tons of potential to BE soft and weird ( his characterization in boruto and pre-skip show that imo ) but it's always so rushed or ooc imo. but i'm a slut for slow burns and awkward re-getting to know each others and whatever. melancholy. realizashuns etc

the position they sleep in: i imagine he sleeps really lightly and very on edge, part of me wants to say he sleeps sort of defensively curled up but also i think ever since he lost his arm he'd try and keep his available arm free and ready for any attack tbh. weird cunt probably sleeps upside down like a bat

a crossover au i’d love to see them in: i only ever watch like horror movies period romances or fucking like. family movies. fuck it let sasuke be in paddington 3

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn: i love his early shippuden look that's such a serve. tits out for the win. i also like him in boruto he looks very cute :)

Update and Upcoming Analysis September 2020

Hey Guys, I am currently focused on analysing Flower of Evil the Korean show. But I wanted to also update you on what’s in my drafts and what I’m currently watching and reviewing on other places but might do here: 

1. The Gifted Graduation

 Genre/Themes: Mystery, Thriller, Thai Lakorn, Romance, Superpowers 

Country: Thailand

Verdict: I am so excited about this, and we’ve already watched 2 episodes so far.  I actually ended up watching the first season late, so my analysis for the show wasn’t planned. But I’m now ready! This is one of my favourite shows in 2020, I’m in love with the storyline, the cast, the directing, the message and the truth it reveals. And I enjoy going on and on about the messages of the show so hopefully I will write out posts on this show because it’s incredible.

2. Naruto/ Naruto Shippuden

Genre/Themes: Anime, Superpowers, Shounen, Action, Ninjas

Country: Japan 

Verdict: Guys I have had so much fun analysing this show. We had a blast discussing ships, ideas and the heart/message of this show. One thing that’s for certain I came out with a love for writing and world building because of this show. I cried, I laughed, I swoooned  (Narusasu shippers know why) and I have essays and essays in my drafts about this show and the greatness of Naruto and the trials he went through and of course character dynamics/flaws of society)

3.  A chance to love

Country:Thailand

Genre/Themes: Thai BL, Romance, Comedy, Drama, 

Verdict: Another sequel to a good thai drama. I love Love by chance and I like analysing Mame’s (author) characters whilst toxic and some times too much to comprehend, I live for some of the romance in this show, and I enjoy getting to watch the love stories unfold and seeing the reasons for the choices made if good or bad and how to improve.  You guys know I love flawed characters because of the depth of their personalities and Mame is a queen of introducing flawed characters with interesting dynamics. If  I get heated expect essays on this show. 

4. Alice

Country: Korean

Genre/Themes: Time travel, Kdrama, Sci fi, Action, Romance?, Drama

Verdict: Looking at the poster you’d think it’s romance but spoiler they’re mother and son. I know right?? Anyway Weird family dynamics, psychopathology  and time travel?? You got me. I spent most of April and May analysing TKEM another time travel show by one of my favorite writers in Korean dramas Kim Eun Sook (an actual role model of mine) and it just makes sense for me to be interested in this drama. This is so good and has potential for essays and essays but I’m too swamped right now. You can join me on other drama websites talking about this if you want just dm me. But this is a great drama and I live for the angsty family dyanamics. 

5. Scumbag system

Country:China

Genre: Danmei, Transmigration, Action, Fantasy, Romance? Comedy,  BL, 

Verdict: Okay one of my biggest regrets is not analysing Mo Dao Zu Shi,  one of the best ever danmei for this genre. So Yes I have an obsession with writer MXT and her books. dramas, animes, mangas. All of it. So I was excited about this being an ANIME/DONGHUA! The angst, the pain, the flawed character dynamics, the love story (which we’re still trying to know if China will go with it) but everything is great. I have read this book before and I was just obsessed. And so far we’ve had 2 episodes of the show and apart from the slight animation shows it’s beautiful. Not sure if I will be analysing the story here, but if I have time I’ll try to. 

6.  My Gear and Your Gown

Country: Thailand 

Genre: Drama, Romance, BL, Thai Lakorn

Verdict:  One of Thailand’s new shows. I’ve watched 2 episodes, I’m so excited because this gives me so many vibes like Love Sick, Love by chance, Until we meet again, and even Theory of Love (Just the dynamics) I’m so intrigued by each of the character’s dynamics, I can already sense symbolisms/ metaphorical objects used to explain our character relationships, personalities and thoughts. And it has introduced tons of 3 dimensional characters incredibly flawed but also sympathetic. I’ve heard good things about the book so we’ll see. Tempted to analyse this from the first two episodes but I’ll wait to feel out the show for another episode. So might write on here. 

7. Skam Espana

Country: Spain

Genre/Themes: Romance, Religion, Slice of Life, POC, Drama

I actually wasn’t thinking about analysing Skam Spain because I thought it’d be a bit controversial to voice my opinions. But after watching the episodes and discussing with the fandom, I’ve decided I will analyse this show on here. As a POC religious woman, I relate to Amira and her story and I understand why some people feel disappointed because of the new changes to Sana’s season from the OG Skam. Still I think Skam Espana is one of the best remakes of Skam and I really look forward to this new way they want to tell the story. Also I love that it’s written by female writers; the previous season and how they wrote Alejandro is still the best version of Noora and William’s story told. I will rant and also analyse the issues people have with the show. Sana’s season is always polarising as a lot of people have high expectations for the show, let’s all try to calm down though before we raise our pitch forks, watch how the story unfold, try and understand the message of the show, and the reason for the changes to it, and try to be open minded. 

And there’s many more but this is for September. There’s so much coming out this month and the rest of 2020. So many genres, shows, mangas and books coming out that I’ve been waiting for. What are you watching and looking forward to? 

[fandom-trash-626]

Started a couple new animes even though I need to get caught up on my other ones. Why do I never have enough time to watch anime??? And to make it worse my Van is breaking down and I might have to get a 2nd job on top of my already fulltime 3rd shift Job. I'll never have time for anime if that happens 😭😭😭

Current watches at the moment and where I'm at

Naruto Shippuden - 141

Haikyu!! - ep 14

Kill la Kill - ep 14

Yashihime - ep 5

Naruto

I've been watching Naruto since I was in highschool but I've always been on and off with it because I've always been so far behind. So I watch episodes here and there. One of my favorite series to watch even though I haven't finished it all. I already know everything that happens due to it being a series thats been out forever. But I still love it.

Haikyu!!

I'm fucking loving this series so far. I fucking love the characters. Almost every episode has had a moment that gives me chills. I love a good story about underdogs rising up and trying their best. I love the Rivalry between Karasuno and Nekoma and how the teams really parallel each other. Its also just a really lighthearted and funny anime and eaaily becoming a favorite.

Kill la Kill

I'm not gonna lie. I'm only watching this anime because a friend got me into it when we wanted to watch some anime together. This anime is fucking ridiculous at times bit also has some extremely fucking hilarious moments. I'll admit I'm not a fan of the animation style, like at all. Also not super into the story or even the characters. I can definitely see the message it has behind it but I'll admit I can't wait to be done watching this. It's just not my cup of tea. The friend that I'm watching this with though got into Inuyasha recently because of me though and is watching all of Inuyasha so I kind of have no room to rwfuse to finish this one. At least I only have like 10 episodes left lol.

Yashihime

I was so excited when Yashihime was announced and I started watching it In October. But to be honest I was expecting it to be something along the lines of Boruto. Like the next gen has their own shit going on but we get to see our fav ogs once in awhile. I was completely let down by yashihime and am angry with how sunrise has kind of taken away my favorite characters happy endings. The one Im most angry about is how Moroha was raised without her parents. Inuyasha grew up alone so why the fuck Sunrise would do Moroha like that pisses me off. So I dropped watching it until the series is over.

I also just heard cells at work 2nd season is starting today!! Ugggh my list of anime I need to watch is honestly so fucking long lol. I also need to start the new season of Attack On Titan. I wish I wasn't an adult who had to work and pay bills 😂😂😭😭

Chapter 263 Discussion

Hello, it is I back from my cave to finally get back into fandom discussion.

Sadly, I don't have too much to offer this time around except speculation, and most of it is dependent on assumptions and observations of the Heroes Rising movie, so if you haven't seen it this is unfortunately your stop, but when you do eventually see it go on ahead and send me an ask geeking out about it because almost everyone I've heard agrees if nothing else that it was hype and worth the price of admission!

All right, warning and disclaimer out of the way, let me lay the groundwork for how this post will go.

1. If you didn't know, the plot for Heroes Rising is a scrapped concept for the end of the series. Because it was scrapped it can't really be used to accurately predict how Horikoshi actually intends to end the story, but finding common plot lines and elements from what we're seeing now in the manga to the events in the movie might give us a clue to which lines he dropped and which he decided to keep. In the end it's a hunch, but it's a more informed guess than not having the clues.

2. I believe we're in the end stages of the story - or at least what is the beginning of the story in the same way Naruto was a precursor to Naruto Shippuden. Because of that, I don't feel like trying to predict things very far ahead and prefer to try to stick to interpretations of what's immediately going on since I feel we’ll get our answers fairly quickly anyway. I've made some lofty ideas of where the series is going before, but those are really better as overarching themes and end points for certain characters than necessarily an accurate prediction of events.

With that, let's jump into it.

The MLA/PLF is a front for the LOV

So to start, something I really wanted to address in the last chapter was the last page:

A lot of people are amazed Hawks seemed to go so deep into their ranks without ever raising suspicion, but I think this clarified, if not confirmed, a couple of points I've been hanging onto for a while.

The LOV never cared about these folks - that much has kind of been obvious from the get-go. They just threw themselves at Shiguraki as the second coming of Christ and offered him a free army. "...I mean, twist my arm, why don'tcha?" There were enough commonalities between the groups to seem like an obvious fit, but the League has always had different plans. Now, not only do they have a disposable army to fight the heroes and die for them but were a perfect opportunity to throw off the heroes to their main objective and draw out all the heroes at once in a fight to the death - all without practically lifting a finger. Shiguraki is a strategist, and a resource not utilized to the best of its potential is wasted even if using it well uses it up completely. These aren't their people, and they signed up for this fight to begin with. It would have made less sense to not effectively double-cross them like this.

I haven't been looking much for discussion regarding the movie, but a notable thing that immediately stood out to me when I saw it was the fact that Shiguraki was individually watching Hawks, and Hawks specifically - all alone and seemingly completely unprompted. A particularly overpowered aspect of Twice's quirk is the fact his doubles are SO close to the same thing they're in every way, down to the way they think and their core motivations, that they’re indistinguishable from the real thing, even to the original and doubles themselves. They really are perfect stand-ins for the actual people they copy. It's 100% possible that real Shiguraki could be powering up under the doctor's care, and - because he's not an idiot to leave himself completely vulnerable and out of control when he doesn't need to be - literally be running the show through a double, behind the scenes, in secret the entire time without the Heroes' or the MLA/PLF's knowledge. This also means that him personally spying on Hawks while he thinks Shiguraki has been out of commission is completely plausible as well.

These two frames have been circulating for good reason. While the army and organization honest-to-god have no idea what's going on, the OG League members seem to be taking it more like a stage cue - particularly with Dabi's obvious movement against the flow of the crowd rushing to battle. This very much feels like something they've planned for; but only them and their squad. They’re known to hold grudges against those that use them and abuse/hurt their core members, but none of that protective attitude has been directed towards this larger organization/movement.

"So what's got you so convinced about parallels to the movie? That's the only one you've brought up."

This was the first thing that stood out to me this chapter as I was reading through it fresh. In the climax of the movie each member of class 1-A had to strategically use their abilities to survive against Nine and his band. One of the abilities they had to counter was calling lightning down from the sky to which they used Kaminari as a lightning rod. Though it was played up for laughs a bit in the movie, it was still very much a life-saving tactic in the moment, and the concept clearly carried over into the final product.

A point of speculation we’ll be able to verify soon is a hunch I have that Tokoyami and Toga will clash one-on-one seeing as he’s also in the front-runner group. Slice very much felt like an easy stand-in for Toga, given the knowledge that those events are modified from the original ending concept, and it was thanks to Tokoyami losing control of Dark Shadow that he was able to beat her in the end. We’ll find out in a couple of weeks, and if it proves right I’ll be pulling more common threads to see if we can’t anticipate what’s going to happen next.

So, yup!

That's it!

Nothing left to see or talk about until next week!

*sigh........*

Ok.

Let's go over what we know for sure:

That’s clearly intent to kill in Hawks’ eyes: a lot of fans are aware of the practice of falconry, which is basically the same thing as a hunting dog but with a trained bird of prey instead; and it’s the image hammered into our heads about the way the Commission has treated Hawks and the way he personally deals with threats. Hawks considers Twice the single, greatest tool the League has in their belt - able to exponentially create duplicates and reinforcements which would turn a strategy-based battle into one of attrition, and the heroes would lose the latter easily. He clearly hasn’t killed Twice yet, and we don’t know why, but if he has to he’s prepared to do so without hesitation or remorse. This is a fight the Heroes CANNOT lose.

Hawks is done: This is more inference, but bear in mind he’s been on this case long before the Commission told him to infiltrate the League. He’s been at this in some capacity for almost a year and neck deep in recon as an undercover agent for months. He’s been walking on eggshells, keeping his eyes and ears open, relaying information, keeping up appearances on both sides, and watching the threat grow from a surprisingly capable group of guerrilla terrorists into an army capable of bringing all of Japan to its knees in a matter of days, tops. The stakes are too high, personally and otherwise, to not take this threat seriously.

This is Twice’s POV: Literally everything he thought he knew about this guy he considered his friend has been turned upside down. That whiteboard that was a catalyst for their friendship is thrown aside (symbolically along with all the memories and time they spent together), and here Jin is: knocked on his back, no longer looking into the friendly gaze of a great guy out to help a friend, but the murderous glare of a wild animal - a monster, even - having no idea how he got to this point and how fast it’s unraveling before his eyes. What we’re watching now could have happened in literally under two seconds. Hawks is that fast, and he’s been waiting for this to happen.

Considering the sudden tonal whiplash their relationship has just gone through - and the fact that it’s framed through Twice’s perspective, not Hawks’ - I don’t think we can make too many solid predictions about what’s going to happen right now. Hawks has been shown to be unpredictable to anyone but himself. When we’re not hearing his own internal monologue or seeing things directly from his point of view, everything we “learn” about him from a scene has to be taken with a grain of salt. He’s guarded, private, and keeps others at arms length so he can anticipate and respond to get the results he wants. It’s not just his fighting style, it’s his survival mechanism.

Twice himself is a grab bag of surprises, and being the heart of the League may yet find a way to appeal to his humanity, question his motives/actions, or any number of ways to bring him down to earth again; but there’s an equal opportunity that Hawks is beyond that at this point. His mission is almost done, and if he wavers now he could literally end up dead in a heartbeat. There are a lot of feathers trained on Twice, but not enough to bring his wings all the way down to stubs like we saw with High End. He’s set to fight not just Twice, but everyone in that compound.

In other words, this might be the point we finally see Hawks truly go apeshit, and I don’t think it’ll be a pretty sight to see. We’ll just have to wait and see where this leads from here.

What are some of your fave animes

OK LET ME PREFACE THIS BY SAYING I HAVEN’T BEEN INTO ANIME SINCE 2014 AND I AM JUST RECENTLY GETTING BACK INTO IT!! BUT

An attack on a member of the RIS leads members of the group to suspect a traitor within their ranks. After being declared a murder suspect, Keith turns himself in. Koku is forced to fight for his survival
