#and it's so ironic seeing people say 'they made a queen bee doll! that's a sign she will return!'

[goldensmilingbird]

I was scrolling through ML toys wiki page because that's what my brain decided to fixate on this evening, and I just unearthed some memories of the merch that was announced but never came out.

Look at this. This Chat was supposed to come with a skateboard and a grappling hook, are you kidding me. I'd love that!

Then there are these two. Chloe's wearing a very stereotypically french outfit but I kinda dig it. There is also a concept art of Alya, and man, I wish we got a civilian doll of her and not just Rena Rouge.

And also I love this bakery set. Just adorable

I wonder if these concept dolls are still owned by the company or if they're out there somewhere and can pop up on AliExpress or eBay like some rejected dolls 🤔

Moving onto stuff that was actually released, one of the things I like about Bandai dolls is that they would just make up designs that haven't appeared in the show. These two are my favourite - Daring Ladybug and Snowbug <3

Maybe the change in merch happened not just because they switched to Playmates but also because they wanted to show Ladybug as more of a badass hero instead of a pretty girl in a dress? I mean, there was a whole #Ladybug_is_a_Hero_NOT_a_Princess movement when Icebug appeared in Frozer with a tiara and high heels on skates. But I think you could do both. Let her have some magical girl outfits 👏

(Also for gender equality, I think they should put Adrien/Chat in dresses too. Just an idea. But seriously, I would love a princess Adrien doll)

Speaking of Adrien, I'm delighted that his Bandai doll comes not with his bag, but with his rapier. This boy is ready to fight! If only there was a Kagami doll, then I'd get both and make them duel 😔

This turned into me just gushing about Bandai dolls, sorry 😅 Sometimes I just have to ramble about dolls

if you had to rank your fav naruto characters how would it go? love your blog btw!!

Hmmm... Complicated ask, anon.😂

[My personal life would be splashed here and there. Please bear with me]

Before 5 months, if you asked me about Naruto, my response would be ‘What the fuck is that?’. I absolutely had no idea such a treasure existed. For me, it started out like a blockbuster movie for the sheer variety of fights and the resulting emotions it brought within me. 

However, there was a point I stopped and thought, ‘Wait a fucking second. This resembles my family dynamics. This person is speaking the exact same lines I spoke to my parents few years ago. This person’s situation resembles mine. Did this creator a time traveler?’. Naruto is the only piece of media that gave me such feel. Am not even exaggerating, believe me. 

I really liked so many characters very much but am going to try my best to list just 10. 

The only characters I hate in this series are Danzo, Sakura and Hinata in no particular order. Meaning, I absolutely cannot see any positives in them. They are crassy, cringey and completely detestable.

FAVOURITE NARUTO CHARACTERS

10. Killer Bee

HaHaHa :-) Just seeing this character makes me smile and light-hearted.

It’s a pity that he is the only character who don’t belong to Konoha in my Top 10 rankings who was developed well apart from Gaara.

I loved him from Frame 1 onwards and I sincerely wished Team Taka should be packed up with their ass beaten up mercilessly. And that’s what happened.

Despite being a Jinchurikki, he never bothered to mind his surroundings and filled his heart with love from his over protective Brother alone was nice to watch.

He makes a great Tag Partner with Naruto next to Sasuke. No doubt.

The way Killer Bee treated Team Taka like some annoying flies and his cool and don’t care attitude was top notch. It’s not just with Sasuke, Bee treated Naruto with the same IDGAF attitude at first.

Best Moments:

Lariat punch to Sasuke (TBH, Sasuke deserved it. LOL)

Blasted off every member of Team Taka like a doll

His entire conversation and fight sequence with Kisame (Their banters and exchanges are way too hilarious)

His dynamics with his Elder Brother (God!!!! Whenever Raikage gives him an Iron Claw.... What a hilarious duo!!!!)

9. Hatake Kakashi

Kakashi was my most favourite character when I started the series for simply being ultra-cool with the way he conducted the Bell-Test and taught a valuable lesson for those bratty kids in Team 7 called ‘Team Work’. 

Best Moments:

Kakashi vs Obito Hand-to-Hand Combat (the best in the series)

Kakashi in the Gaara retrieval arc (His fight with Itachi & Deidara gave a good start to the shippuden series. His Mangekyou reveal was surprising).

Kakashi & Guy teaming up with Naruto to reveal Obito in a twisty and tragic way. (Kakashi couldn’t handle the truth at all and neither did I)

Kakashi vs Zabuza (That’s when I realized that the series was getting real serious)

8. Jiraiya

Jiraiya was my next favourite to Kakashi during my Part 1 days. His open perversion and his entire dynamics with Naruto was one of the best things during the Chunin Exams arc. Taught Naruto about Chakra Control and about the way of a shinobi by just enduring. Naruto follows this even today.

Best Moments: 

Kuchiyose No Jutsu training (Man, I never expected him to push Naruto off the cliff)

Rasengan Training (One of the best arcs in part 1 and it was soo satisfying to see Naruto punching his first Rasengan on Kabuto, He also acted like a quasi parent to Naruto... heartwarming)

Jiraiya Vs Six paths of Pain ( 6 vs 1 was always doomed but still he had the guts of a shinobi and plunged ahead)

7. Uchiha Madara

Geez. What is there to not like him?? 

Everything he did was absolutely wrong ever since he broke up with Hashirama in a romantic way much similar to how couples break up in my country.

I am an Uchiha. You are a Senju. I wish it had been different.

This roughly translates to how 75% of lovers break up and marry someone else from their own clan in my state. (Duh!!!)

I am from XXX clan, you are from XXX clan. So we can’t love each other and my parents won’t accept this relationship. So let’s break up.

Alright, my first shipping couple in this series is HashiMada for this exact reason. (I started shipping SNS only after episode 478). 

Just like Hashirama, Madara had an extensive build up right from episode 1 where Kurama compares Sasuke with Madara. And flashbacks from Itachi and Tobi spiked my curiosity and I wanted to see his face so badly ever since.

But the moment he landed gracefully like a diva in episode 321.... Woaahhhh!!!! He literally danced in the battlefield and ate up 100′s of guys with just a fucking Sharingan. 

Best Moments:

Going Shirtless before 1000′s of people with Hashirama’s face, no less (Well, I literally went heart-eyed for 5 minutes. Sorry Sasuke, your ancester was way much sexier than you in the Orochimaru hideout and beats you by a million points).

Screaming Hashirama’s name like a cockatoo for 300 times even till the very end (Sorry Naruto, your obsession towards Sasuke for about 6 arcs is pale in comparison to Madara’s obsession which was established in just 6 or 7 episodes.)

I have 25 clones now. Do you want me to put Susanoo or not? You can’t answer. The answer is yes. (Man, his I don’t give a fuck attitude is just an alien level thing)

Openly admitting Only Hashirama Can Beat Me (Say what you will about Sasuke, Madara has no qualms about accepting his inferiority in terms of power. An absolute Straight Forward diva-queen)

Awakening Sharingan for breaking up with his ‘friend’ rather than for his 3 dead brothers. (Geez, Poor Soul. He is the forefather of a Romantic Uchiha. That romantic blood still flows in Sasuke)

6. Senju Hashirama

Man, I would have placed him somewhere in top 5 if only he was introduced early or had more scenes. I started watching Naruto only because of this very name. There is a local podcaster in my state who goes under the alias of Senju Hashirama and in his podcasts, he hinted about this character and how he was inspired by his ideals. I just googled and saw that this character belonged to Naruto series and I considered watching it. Here I am, making analysis on that very series.

There was this excellent build up for him right when we got introduced to Captain Yamato. He was constantly referred in flashbacks from Itachi and Tobi especially.

But the moment he was reanimated again..... Geez..... It was an hilarious ride all throughout. Out of all the flashbacks we got from this series, Founders Era flashback was my absolute favourite.

From where I come from, we are still under the stupid influence of Clan infrastructure and are not growing up in many aspects like people in western countries do. For me, I hope, one day, someone like Senju Hashirama appears in our state and change our lives for better by uniting all clans as one and treats everyone equally without the shitty favouritism for their own children, friends, parents, siblings.

That’s why this dialogue struck a thunder in my heart

“Be they a friend.... Be they a sibling.... Be it even my own child. I will not forgive anyone who threatens the village.”

Because the clan leaders in our place are absolutely selfish, trash bastards who serves their own needs with no regards for other people from other clans. For a person like me, Hashirama is not just a fictional hero, he is someone who many aspires to become. No wonder that podcaster chose this name as his alias.

He rightfully deserved the title ‘God of Shinobi’. And no one can surpass him, not even Naruto.

Best Moments:

Wood Style vs Eternal Mangekyou sharingan + Kurama powered Madara (He just beats Madara’s ass by a wide margin. This shows he was a whole fucking different level than Naruto + Sasuke combined. In terms of strength, nobody surpassed him YET. Sorry Naruto and Sasuke, you guys are no match even now with your Rinnegan and Kurama lost forever).

His entire banters with Madara (ROFLLLL. Without him, it would have been just another lifeless arc.)

5. Senju Tobirama

Hmmm, let me tell you something about him.

First off, he is not a racist or fascist as many hardcore Sasuke fanatics claims. He is one of the best hokages according to me. He is abso-fucking-lutely practical, rational, logical and holds no grudge. And Sasuke resembles Tobirama with all these characteristics as compared to soft and naive Naruto. If only he had more screen time, he would be easily in my top 3. 

Just because he didn’t lick the boots of Uchiha (many people’s favorite clan or may I say the only clan that was given any shit about in this series), it doesn’t make him a racist or fascist.

No, he never persecuted the Uchihas. Danzo, the crass bastard, driven off the Uchihas only after the Kyuubi incident. It was explicitly mentioned in the databook and was clearly explained in the series. 

He literally gave the highest position in the village for the entire clan. That is, a military power inside a military village. ‘Shinobi who can cause crimes can only be stopped by shinobi who are even better’. In my state, if a powerful clan decided to persecute another clan, they simply start by cutting off basic amenities like Water and Electricity. Compared to what I’ve seen, Tobirama did nothing but given the Uchihas, the highest position in their village. 

Orochimaru only said giving such a power made them conceited (arrogant). Tobirama had a trusted subordinate called Kagami, an Uchiha in his team. He suggested Kabuto to help Sasuke and even teleported him on his request. He even spited Madara for killing Sasuke, an Uchiha. He openly claimed Uchiha clan exceeds Senju in terms of Love. He openly appreciated Itachi and Kagami as someone who sees beyond their clan. In what world, would a racist or fascist do all this for a clan he hates??? 

Yes, he was cautious of Sasuke at first because he saw him with Orochimaru and even went full-on battle mode because of Sasuke’s carefree threat to destroy the village. But once he decided to go to the battlefield to fight Madara, he simply forgot everything that happened before and started to work with him as a comrade, and even helped him twice. In which world, a racist or fascist behave this way?

Believe me, a person like me who was grown with these clan politics surely can say who is a fascist. He was not. He was just cautious of them because of their ability to attain superpowers with just emotions alone. Let me ask you all this, ‘Would you be okay with people getting crazy powers whenever they are depressed?’. Being cautious is not racism. It really disrespects people who faced real oppression under fascism.

What Madara and Danzo did was a classical example of fascism. 

And No, Izuna didn’t die only because of Tobirama. He died because Madara was too arrogant to instigate war with Senju clan. And this was way before forming Konoha. If Tobirama killed Izuna after the alliance between Uchiha and Senju, I would agree that he was a racist. Izuna lost his life just like any other Uchiha and Senju soldiers in that battlefield. 

Just because he shitted your beloved ‘Sasuke-Kun’ doesn’t mean he is a racist too. Tobirama saw Sasuke along with that scoundrel Orochimaru who once used this very two hokages to destroy the very village they strived hard to create and protect. What will you do, if you were in his place?? Please don’t lie and say ‘I wouldn’t be judgemental’. 

And Imagine you are Tobirama, Sasuke is threatening to commit genocide against the entire village who had no idea about this coup detat instead of going against those old hags. Will you sit quiet as a Hokage?? 

He was the first person to suggest his brother, Itama, that Revenge against Uchihas are futile. All we need is an agreement to make truce. That gave the idea for Hashirama to pursue his dream. And Tobirama was happy to follow that dream and very supportive. 

It’s because of all these reasons I placed him above Senju Hashirama.

Best Moments:

Amazing power display against Sasuke & Co with just an index finger (It was a pleasure to see everyone’s face trembling with mild sweat including Sasuke).

Acted as a decoy to save his young subordinates. (The way he sacrificed his life saying young wills of fire must be protected is just Woow!! I wish his subordinates listened to his words and passed the mantle to the younger ones rather than playing game at such an old age and screwed up many lives. Pfft!!!)

Any time he says ‘Shut Up’ to Hashirama (ROFL)

His absolute ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude to Naruto, Sasuke, Hashirama, Minato and Madara (He trolled them all mercilessly and I love it)

4. Senju Tsunade

It hurts me to say that Tsunade is the only female character in my list because every other female characters were written in a much more piss poorly way. Only Konan came close to Tsunade but her role was very short. 

Despite her character’s purpose revolved around another male character (Dan) and a blatant objectification of her breasts, I liked everything about her other than those mentioned above. 

She is the Second Best Hokage who took Konoha right after the destruction made by Orochimaru, excellently handled the aftermath by making friendly relations with Suna (Sand village), provided her best medical support to Konoha in the Pain Arc and successfully handled the fourth Shinobi world war. 

She is such a badass who developed her own original jutsu called Byakugou no Jutsu, which can heal herself. 

She is just way too amazing and it’s a pity that we got very less scenes in Shippuden.

Best Moments:

Took 25+ stabs from Madara’s Susanoo like a piece of cake (Man, I simply couldn’t describe that scene. All the other Kages were shocked and even Madara too)

Lifted her advisors like a cabbage sack (Those fucking old hags deserved it. Those shits should’ve died)

Her index finger flick assault on Naruto (Aww, Naruto was definitely bratty in his first meeting and Tsunade didn’t hold back at all)

Played Orochimaru like a basketball (In that same arc, she fought Orochimaru mercilessly like a devil left and right. Someone who claimed to have surpassed Tsunade never even dared to fight Orochimaru’s student and crying for his attention after just receiving one stab from Madara. Just saying)

3. Uzumaki Naruto

Naruto is the titular character and your emotions evolve along with him. He surely deserves a spot in Top 3. The only reason I didn’t place Naruto even more higher is because he didn’t experience something very important which many characters in this list faced. That is, Losing a loved one before his eyes. Every villain in this series became what they are because they lost someone important before their eyes like Nagato, Obito. (Nope, I don’t count Neji as his loved one). I think this tests the mettle of any character and Naruto failed to experience this. The only person he ever lost was Jiraiya and that too from off-screen. That’s why I felt his journey to his dreams seemed little easier compared to the rest of the characters.

His best block of episodes will always be the part 1 Episode 1, 2, 3. Episode 1 is the character defining episode for Naruto and what he learned there will be applied everywhere till the very end of the series. He learned 3 things

Forgiveness, Empathy and Acceptance

Talk-No-Jutsu

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu

From then on, this boy wins many friends to his side, not only from Konoha but from other villages too and even made them to acknowledge his strength only through his sheer hard work. 

However, there is this person, whose acknowledgement he wants the most.  That person is his most important bond along with Iruka Sensei. He is none other than Sasuke. One day, Sasuke left him alone for some unavoidable reason at the end of part 1 which left a huge scar in him and he vows to bring him back to the place where he belongs. That becomes his ultimate goal rather than becoming an Hokage.

The way he goes to any extent to protect the people he cares about is just simply entertaining to watch.

Every time he makes an heroic entry to save the day was never boring, not once. 

Best Moments:

Sobbing from his heart after hearing Iruka Sensei acknowledging him (It just makes me feel heavy for no reason. The anime team did an awesome job to capture his emotions convincingly)

Awakening Kyuubi Mode for the first time after seeing Sasuke die in his arms (Man, out of all the collective hatred he got from the villagers, this moment affected him a lot speaks volumes)

Punching Neji from the underground to win the Chunin exams (God, I honestly believed Naruto lost but he just surprised us heavily from nowhere. And that failure speech was just pure bliss to watch even today)

Pain Vs Naruto (One of the best arc for Naruto. Because unlike other arcs, where Naruto fought with a team, this arc he was all alone fighting a person with Rinnegan. Be it the exuberant landing from the frogs with a dramatic kabuki music, creating multi-step attacks, coming up with novel solution in that difficult situation, finally ending the conflict without killing the enemy, becoming an hero. Superb journey. The only thing I didn’t like in that arc is some shitty selfish proposal. PUKE!!)

Bearing the burdens of his most important person and die along with him (This boy always shouts he will never die until he becomes an Hokage. But for Sasuke, he was ready to die along with him in order to not leave him alone proves how much he loves him. This shows his emotional maturity rather than shouting at Sasuke like he always did before which never reached his ears. This time it did)

Final Good Bye to Minato (Honestly, I was bawling just like Naruto in that scene no matter how many times I watch it. It started out slow but as he speaks more and more, he simply couldn’t hold back and wept a sea of tears 😭😭😭)

2. Uchiha Sasuke

One of the well written characters in this series, with all the flaws and positive stuffs which makes him more of an Anti-Hero. He always subverts my preformed opinions and never ceased to surprise me.

Despite being aloof and cold, his warmer side will always be exposed towards Naruto. This is evident by many things he had done for Naruto which he don’t have to or no reason to. Starting right from roasting Sakura, offering lunch, asking for tips, enquiring about breakfast, protecting him many times and dying for Naruto. 

Why I placed him above Naruto is because of his unavoidable decision to tread in a complicated dark path primarily due to the trauma he carried and was stirred up again by collective factors such as Orochimaru’s cursed seal, Itachi’s arrival and Naruto’s growth. Compared to Sasuke, Naruto had an easier path because he never saw anyone die before his eyes and hence he don’t carry any trauma which can divert his path.

Even after watching his entire clan and family members murdered before his eyes at an age 8, he managed to pull himself and never snapped out like many other good characters does. But the moment when he found out that Itachi was good all along, he simply couldn’t tolerate the truth and gave himself to Vengeance. Because, he loved his brother more than he hated him all these years. This shows he loved his brother more than his parents. His resolve to destroy Konoha was perfectly understandable. But is it good? Nope. He can kill Danzo and those old hags but killing other people was never justifiable.

But still, his resolve to have his vengeance was diverted by Naruto and weakened by Itachi, at some point. So, he decided to know the truth and when he heard it, he understood the Hokages also sacrificed many precious things to protect this village just like his Brother Itachi. He understood the mistakes of his clan and decided to protect the village which he swore to destroy. [Many Sasuke fanatics think that he succumbed to the Government and Kishi wrote Sasuke to bootlick them. Their idea was to tackle genocide with another genocide. What a stupid idea!!!!]

And No, I don’t consider him trying to kill Sakura, Karin and Kakashi as his bad moments (though I feel bad for Karin). For the simple reason being, he became a monster by losing himself in the darkness who lost the rationality to differentiate friends from foes. Much similar to how Naruto lost himself to Kyuubi’s hatred against Orochimaru and in Pain Arc. It’s so hypocritical to ignore Naruto and accuse Sasuke here. Plus, Sakura had no business to be there otherwise Sasuke would not have tried to kill her. 

But does it mean Sasuke did nothing wrong???

Nope.

He definitely shouldn’t have joined Akatsuki and hunted Killer Bee like an animal. Because, he knew that Tobi was the one who helped Itachi massacre the clan. When fighting Itachi he specifically vowed to kill Madara (Tobi). On top of that, Itachi passed on Amaterasu in his eyes specifically to stay away from Tobi. Why did he ally with him? Plus, Sasuke was one of the few characters who was exposed to the name ‘Akatsuki’ in part 1 itself. He clearly knew that this organization targets Naruto, his closest bond. Why did he join there? This is where the stupid part of Sasuke came out. I was grunting... ‘Oii Where did that clever Sasuke, who faced 1000 soldiers without killing any of them, went??’. 

And his plan for Revolution???? I thought it would be reasonable. But his vision was eerily similar to Danzo’s vision. Grrr..... Danzo also wanted to create his ideal village by destroying the current Hokage. He wanted to unite the Five Village and put himself on top of everyone as evident from the Kage Summit arc. 

I appreciate him that he finally adopted the Will of Fire, by wanting to protect the village at all costs just like Itachi and Hashirama did. But his methods are not very democratic. Plus, he wanted to do it alone. I was screaming at him... ‘Grrr, Sasuke, did you listen to Itachi at all???. He failed because he did everything alone. Why can’t you understand????’ This is also another instance, Sasuke’s stupidity glanced out.

I am happy Naruto knocked some sense into him by telling him not to do it alone but together.

Many fanatics also ask, ‘What did Sasuke do wrong to atone for his sins at the end?’.

I was like ‘Reallly????’

He joined Akatsuki, an organization which terrorized all the 5 villages and he hunted someone like an international criminal.

He spoiled the Kage Summit and attacked Raikage who lost his arm because of him. I know what happened over there is not Sasuke’s fault. But these are the kages who was loved by many people in their own villages. How can the world forget it and simply let him go?

It’s exactly because of all those lovely stuffs he did in Part 1 and all these mistakes he did in Part 2 but willing to correct his mistakes by sharing the burdens of his other half in the end made him more interesting, complicated and exciting and that’s why I love this character.

I also have a personal bias to love this character sooo much because of the character on top of my list.

Best Moments:

Defending Naruto before Sakura (Awww!!! Such a good boy he was. Eventhough I thought he was a typical arrogant K-Drama hero, he just subverted my opinion in that one scene. I always have a thing for people who stands up for someone even though they don’t have to. This is where I started to like Sasuke)

My body moved on its own. (Is there anything that trumps this scene in terms of emotions and love in this series?. This moment is where I understood the depth of Sasuke’s emotions towards Naruto).

What is a Clan? What is a Village? What is a Shinobi? (I was really hoping for Sasuke to question himself something similar to this. Because he was so self-absorbed in his hatred and failed to look outside him ever since he left the village. It was so gratifying that he did that)

Killing Orochimaru (I always thought Sasuke will kill him only after he tries to take over the body. Never imagined that he will strike the snake first)

Killing Danzo (Man, what an amazing battle!!!. It was so gratifying to see such a crass bastard die many times over and over).

His dramatic confession through his monologue (After the mystery of Who is this Tobi, Sasuke’s obsession towards Naruto remained a mystery for me. Why did he listen to Naruto under the bridge? Why did he protected Naruto in the War? I got the answer only after this confession. It was so heartwarming to see this mellow side of Sasuke)

1. Uchiha Itachi

I could write pages about him. The foremost reason I like Itachi and earns the top spot in my rankings is because he shockingly resembled me in many ways. As I already said, I come from a place where clan politics plays a major role and when I see Sasuke’s flashback in part 1, I was simply dumbstruck by such a detailed similarities.

Elder child of the family - ✅

Have an adorable younger sister who loves me more than my parents - ✅

Same age gap (5 years) with my sister as Itachi and Sasuke - ✅

Parents paying total attention on me while ignoring my sister completely - ✅

Parents constantly comparing my achievements with my sister - ✅

A sister who bear hugged me every time I entered the home after returning from my school - ✅

Despite my mom being a teacher, my sister always prefers me to teach her stuffs as she considers me to be way too better than my mom -  ✅

Love my sister more than my parents - ✅

Clan-Obsessed parents - ✅

Used me as a tool for the benefit of the clan - ✅

Sending another person from my clan to spy on me - ✅

Strained relationship with my parents - ✅

Disgusted with my clan - ✅

Most importantly, this dialogue from part 1 episode 129,

Clan? Clan?

Obsessed with the organization, Obsessed with the clan, Obsessed with the name, that’s merely the detestable action that restrict yourself.

I have given up all hope in this worthless clan

Because, people obsess themselves to their clan, a thing so petty, they lose sight of the things that are truly important.

A real change cannot occur under restraints and controls

I confronted my parents with the exact same dialogue (almost 98% similar) in my own native language some years ago. 

I didn’t even know the existence of Naruto series at that time. I was simply shell-shocked by all these similarities with this character. 

And Yes, The moment I heard these dialogues, I knew Itachi, was a good guy, who had a very strong reason for his actions and I instantly knew Sasuke’s revenge will not bear him any happiness. 

It is exactly because of all these striking similarities of myself with Itachi, and my lil’l sister with Sasuke, my family dynamics with the Uchiha family.... I could understand the magnitude of Sasuke’s love towards Itachi. 

And precisely because of that, I could understand Sasuke’s love towards Naruto is not fucking ‘brotherly’ one but something that leans towards Attraction. 

No wonder, Itachi left Sasuke in Naruto’s care. 

Anyways to speak objectively, 

Itachi is an extremely self-sacrificial person whose life is full of pain and miseries but never blames it on the world unlike other Uchiha members like Madara, Obito and Sasuke to an extent.

He did things considering the bigger picture which never benefitted himself in anyway and was willing to go to any extent even at the expense of his own family and his brother’s happiness. That is, Uchiha Clan Massacre and Joining Akatsuki. None of this benefitted him in anyways but he did it anyway, for the village of Konoha. 

His ideals are shockingly similar to Hashirama, Which Sasuke pointed this out and Hashirama acknowledged that Itachi was a better shinobi than he was. ❤️❤️❤️

Now, does this means I support Uchiha clan massacre?

No way. Even Itachi didn’t.

This massacre happened because of the huge clusterfuck from Hiruzen’s incompetence, Danzo’s paranoid arrogance, Uchiha clan’s devious plan to over throw the government by force rather than approaching it in a peaceful way, say, a peace talk or a protest. 

All these people acted on their own self-interest. Itachi and Shisui caught in their whirlpool, bear their burdens and paid for it with their life. Sasuke suffered for it.

But, it’s not the only reason I love this character. It’s because, the moment he decided to massacre everyone, he marked his own death by the hands of his beloved brother. I love people who owns up their mistakes and face the consequences rather than making excuses (even though it’s not entirely his mistake).

Itachi is also the only character in this series who realized his failures on his own without anyone’s interference or Naruto’s Talk-No-Jutsu. 

And he apologized for everything he did to Sasuke.

Again, some hardcore Sasuke fanatics criticize/hate him for torturing their poor ‘Sasuke-Kun’ with his Tsukuyomi. I was like ‘Hmmm...What?’. 

First off, Itachi apologized to Sasuke for not thinking out from his point of view and also for not telling him the truth earlier.

Second off, Sasuke never even blamed Itachi for anything (even he didn’t hold him for killing their parents). If Sasuke himself, forgiven Itachi... Why are his fans being so rabid?

Third off, for all of his supposed ‘crimes’, he paid for it by dying as a disgraceful Madman rather than a Hero who really saved the village. He is someone who should be celebrated like Naruto but instead died proudly as a Traitor of Konoha.

All in all, One of the wonderfully written character I have ever seen in the media. 

Best Moments:

Itachi vs Sasuke (That battle was a pure brilliance and highly emotional especially after knowing the truth. When Sasuke released his Kirin, Itachi showed off his ultimate armour Susanoo like a badass. Seeing Susanoo for the first time gave me chills. No, Sasuke didn’t kill him. Itachi died on his own)

Itachi vs Orochimaru (Man, Itachi may look mellow but when it comes to Orochimaru he is a pure Sass. He screwed that snake up both the times by a wide margin. It seems Uchiha brothers like to fuck up Orochimaru, LOL)

Talk-No-Jutsu’ing Naruto (Geez, Naruto was being completely bratty and was full of saviour complex like he was going to bear everyone’s hatred by himself. I was almost annoyed. Thanks to Itachi, he realised. Probably he is the only character to shut Naruto using his own jutsu)

Izanami’ing Kabuto (Other than Naruto, he is the only character to go out of his way to empathize with a villain and put extreme effort to change him. I think this is why Sasuke loves Naruto, for seeing these similarities??? ).

Goodbye to Sasuke (The first time when he said ‘Forgive me, Sasuke. This is the last’ by poking his forehead and finally closing the distance by butting with Sasuke’s head softly saying ‘I will love you always’.... It always evokes uncontrollable tears in me, no matter how many times I watch it 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭)

HONOURABLE MENTION

Uchiha Obito

God, Am such a sucker for Uchiha guys individually, though collectively as a clan they fucked up big time. I simply couldn’t find the place for him in the top 10. He is a classic example of What Naruto will be like if he becomes a villain?

However, all those horrible stuffs he did just for a girl whom he had a crush on which was never reciprocated seems childish. That’s why I couldn’t put him in Top 10.

And his understandable but weird obsession on Naruto was always enjoyable to watch. 

One cute thing I liked about him was, whatever criminal stuffs he may have done, he was never a cheapskate though. He had every chance to take back Kakashi’s Sharingan to activate his own Susanoo. But he never even thought of such an idea. He was a bad guy. But a good friend, no matter what. 

Pure Baby!!! But lost his way!!!

Best Moments:

Importance of Team Work (’In the ninja world, Those who break the rules are  scum. But those who abandon their comrades are worse than scum’. This very legacy he left to Kakashi came to defeat him later. And Naruto follows this motto even today)

Sacrificing his Sharingan (’I am giving you my Sharingan. No matter what the villagers say, you are a great Jonin. Please take it’. Awww!!! Obito. He left his Sharingan which helped Kakashi to complete a jutsu called ‘Chidori’, which is a go-to jutsu of Sasuke)

Thanks for the ask, anon. I thoroughly enjoyed writing this. ❤️

@coffee-and-guns​ > Feli I love you to death. You are one of my best friends. I’m blessed you commented on that one fic (I can’t remember lol) when you did. Such a long time ago it seems but that’s the moment we were in this. Your writing is wonderful. You make me laugh all the time with our mutual insatiable thirst. And our OTP? Lotixty? They were born from crack originally and damn I cannot imagine NOT having the 60 x Lotus ship. I’m glad to share that with you and even happier to call you a friend for life. 

@diivinerose​ > Curls! We’ve been doing this for so long and I’m just so happy we met across the other side of this fandom. Even happier that we get to do this together. You’re a literal babe. You’ve been there for me during some really rough shit especially now. We can talk about anything and you’re a literal best friend. Your writing is so much better than you give yourself credit for. Same goes for your muse who my muses adore. That good DD60 x Main!D? OTP BABY. Let’s not forget the OTP to top OTP’s with Det!D and Corvus. Finally we get to bring our problematic loves to full swing here. I missed them. I’m so happy to call you a friend for life too babes. I love you too much.

@ninehartx​ > My canon Nines right here! The only Nines of my life! Iron you are simply amazing. That goes for you as a person, friend and your muses. All of them, especially the wonderful boy that is Aiden Barnes, deserves so much recognition. Your writing is wonderful. I love when we plot. I love when we just chat. You’ve done some amazing things for me while I’ve been going through ish but I will never forget it. Chatting with you daily just brightens my life. You’re one of a kind. And Sixden?

The canon Kamski of my life and 60 secretly (and not so secretly) has a thing for his creator. Then again so does Corvus in that killer human au but you know what I mean. ;) Platonic murder husbands otp? Never thought that dynamic would come about but damn it’s gonna be a blast. Talking to you is always a blast. You’re so chill and down to earth. I love hearing you in VC and damn I still haven’t been able to go live in VC with you there. Hopefully soon. I adore the hell out of you Kam. Your writing is amazing. 

@rxseguided​ > Cupcake! My sweet angel babe! I love you a lot. We’ve only just started really interacting but damn do I love every minute of it. I’m all on that Jesse x Corvus. You have no idea. He’s just so stuck on her in almost every verse but the killer au? Oh man that’s juicy. 60 never expected to gain an adoptive mother but he’s rolling with it. He just loves his angel mom. Every time you pop on I’m just so down to chat. You’re super fun, chill and amazing all around. That writing tho! You’re so good and let me tell you this. Jesse is an amazing original muse and deserves all the damn love in the world.

You were the last good thing to come out of that before I moved away from that mess into here. Your muse deserves more. She’s very well thought and unique. I will always give you writing advice, tell you that your writing is better than you think. Just know you are the sweetest!

@musesdivine​ > I know you’re on a break here right now but Tori you are an absolute doll. When you followed me I saw Alex and immediately fell in love. 60 was just “ha! a new foil!” And Connor? Well, Connor loves Alex with all of his synthetic heart. Conlex is here and is waiting to set sail again. Then came the rest of your muses. I love them all. I love your writing. I love you! You deserve all good things. I’m glad to have met you through this fandom and will always be grateful we made the choice to dm each at the same time. lol It was too good! And you’re too precious ok?

You’re so sweet and just I love when we get the chance to interact. 60 is all in for Vanessa. He fooled around and fell in love. You tackle so many muses in so many different fandoms and I just adore reading all of yours threads. Please give me all of your DBH muses. I want to interact with each one. With all of my muses. Your writing is lovely. You put so much effort into every single muse and you’re a mutual for life.

But, I'm a Choir Girl? (Trixya)-thevortex (4/14)

But, I’m a Choir Girl? part 4 of 14

A sentence that Trixie had never once heard in her own voice before rang in her ears like the aftershock of a gun being fired right behind her, and it hurt her almost as much. For any girl, coming to terms with the fact that you have an illness as socially debilitating and taboo as homosexuality, it was going to be difficult. She tried to hold it in, but she couldn’t. Boy, must I look like a fusspot. Trixie thought, as the sobs shook through her, taking over her body as her tears made delicate stains on the satin of her skirt. Mrs Edwards seemingly had no sympathy for the poor girl, however looks of understanding came from every one of the patients, except from Violet. Courtney approached Trixie, and knelt beside her. She took Trixie’s hands into her own, gaining a disapproving look from Mrs Edwards. “It’ll be okay Trixie. I promise. You’ll be right as rain in no time. How about I show you around, and maybe take you to your room? Would that help?” “You’re a real sweet heart, you know that?” “I may have been told once or twice.” Courtney winked at her fellow barbie-look-alike. “But that’s how I ended up in here so no more of that. Let’s go.”

Trixie stood up, and waved a timid good-bye to the group before following Courtney out of the room. She was glad to leave that room behind her, hopefully it would keep the echoes of her damnation within its walls, and that’s where it would stay.

Courtney led Trixie along the corridor, explaining that this ground floor was the medical floor. Therefore meaning it was responsible for visual-key shocking, electro-convulsion therapy, flooding and medical aversion. “All this happens here? I thought it was all crazy-talk!” Trixie exclaimed in a timid voice. “We’re the crazy ones here remember. But yes it all happens. I’m lucky to not have had ECT, but it does happen. Poor Davis gets it the worst.” “Why?” “Have you seen him?” “Oh.” Trixie’s stomach churned at the thought.  On that note, she did recall seeing a reddish tinge to his temples when he introduced himself. *Poor thing.* “They’re all down here because it can get quite noisy, ironic that the chapel is down here too. Recreation, dining and counselling is on the first floor, and second floor is accommodation. Let’s head there. That’s sure to lighten you up a bit.”

Trixie’s room was a horrendous shade of pink, with various pastels jumping out at you from every angle around the room. She was surprised at how luxury it was. The bed was of a generous size, with plush pink pillows adorning it. She understood that this was completely to enforce gender roles, but this was like a domestic wet dream for her. “This is beautiful.” “I thought you’d like it! You seem like a girl who was lucky enough to have a few of those fancy new Barbie dolls in your trunk, so you’ll get comfy in no time.” “Whatever gave that away?” Trixie giggled, fluttering her eyelashes and flipping her blonde curls off her shoulder flamboyantly. Courtney laughed, rolling her eyes. “Looks like Ru brought up your bags, I’ll let you settle in, someone will come by to take you to dinner.” Courtney turned to leave, but stopped at the doorway, turning once again to face Trixie. “It isn’t too bad here. Not quite a hospital, not quite summer camp either. Just behave, and you won’t get it too bad.”

With that, Courtney left, closing the door behind her. The click of it shutting felt like a metaphorical shutting off from the rest of the world. Trixie sat down on her bed, and looked out the window. Although the rain had ceased, a few droplets still scattered the glass, distorting her view to the lush greenery outside. How did I get into this mess? Trixie understood that how she felt towards other girls wasn’t exactly normal, she simply blamed it on being a bit over sensitive. Although that didn’t explain what happened with-

Trixie’s thoughts were ripped away from her when a sharp knock echoed through her room. She shuffled over to the door, and opened it to reveal the intruder to be… “I’ve been told to get you for supper.” A cold, cutting tone, with a glare to match it took Trixie aback, but brushed it off. “Neato. Lead the way!” Violet sighed at Trixie forced chirpiness. This girl had a real bee in her bonnet about Trixie, and she couldn’t think of why.

The dining hall was modestly sized, although not many people were in it, only those she had met before, and she assumed resident psychiatrists. She decided to take her place next to Courtney, she felt it was best to stick with someone who she felt actually got along with her. Trixie was pleased to find that Courtney was also a vegetarian, so they both had asparagus roll-ups, everyone else had some kind of stew. Curious, there’s an extra plate here. Oh well. They all joined hands and closed their eyes and Mrs Edwards stood to say Grace. “Bless us, O Lord, and the meal we are about to-” “Sorry!” A blur of red and yellow came whizzing into the hall, cutting off Mrs Edwards, making a few people chuckle under their breaths. Trixie opened her eyes to take a peek. Of course. Katya.

“Good shower?” Courtney asked. “Thrilling.” Katya winked at Trixie as she took a mouthful of stew. “What?” “You don’t want to know.” Courtney stated, making Katya wheeze and flail her limbs. Trixie blushed furiously, and tried her damndest to focus solely on the pastry in front of her. “Shto eto, Barbie?” Her thick accent caused Trixie’s thighs to squeeze together. “Someone ruffle pretty birdie’s feathers?” “Katherine, stop flirting.” Courtney warned Katya. “Oh, Trixie?” “Mhm?” “Do you know Violet? She hasn’t stopped staring at you since you walked in.” “Uh.” Trixie glanced to Violet where, sure enough, she was receiving a look from Satan’s baby. “No I don’t actually.” She felt incredibly uncomfortable. The two most beautiful girls Trixie had ever seen were both giving her attention, some unwanted, some reluctantly wanted. She couldn’t quite wrap her head around it all. “So, Tracy.” Katya leaned over the table. “How many girls have you fucked?” “KATYA!” Courtney seethed through gritted teeth, and placed a hand on Trixie’s, whose face was now verging on the same shade as Katya’s lipstick. “Although look at her, you think she does the fucking?” “Now that you mention it.” Katya cocked her head and gave Trixie a once over. “We’re here to not do gay things, so I’d rather keep my sex life out of this.” “Oh so there is a sex life!” Katya’s eyes widened in delight and drummed her fingers on the table, mere inches away from Trixie’s. Trixie bit her lip and averted eye contact. “I’m guessing you’re not interested in the boy part, huh?” Katya was grinning from ear to ear as she shook her head. “There was this one girl…” “Okay, I’m interested now.” Courtney rested her chin on her hands and looked intently at Trixie. “Do go on.” “Did she make your heart flutter?” Katya’s foot begun to stroke at Trixie’s exposed ankle, and smirked when she noticed a colour rise to tinge her freckled cheeks. “Does she make you think-” She mock gasps. “-unspeakable things.” “Katya…” Trixie meant her words to come out strong, but instead they came out low and shaky. “What? I’m not doing anything lil’ miss straight.” Katya’s foot stroked up her calf. “I-I need to go to the bathroom. Excuse me.” Trixie excused herself from the table and abruptly left. “What were you doing Katya?” Courtney kicked her under the table. “Just because you’ve fucked every girl in this place doesn’t mean you need to do her too.” “No harm in trying.” Katya winked at Courtney and stood up to leave.

Trixie splashed cold water on her face, and stared at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were still puffy and red from all of her crying, however somehow her makeup was mostly intact. The door opened, and the reflection in the mirror proved it to be the one person Trixie either did not want to see, or the only person she wants to see. She couldn’t quite decide. “Privyet kukla.” Trixie turned around and wiped a drop of water off of her chin. “Getting wet without me? How rude.” “Katya, I’m straight.” “Proof is in the pudding, and I don’t think you can bake.” “I have a boyfriend.” “Da.” Katya stepped forward, and Trixie stepped backwards, bashing into the sink. Despite the fact that Trixie was a good two inches taller than Katya, she somehow felt so tiny under her gaze. Katya arched herself over Trixie, hardly touching, and she whispered in her ear, “and I’m Queen of England.” “Am I interrupting something?” A flat voice resonated off the ceramic tiles. Katya jerked her head around so fast, Trixie swore it could’ve flown off. “I could’ve guessed it would’ve been you Trixie Mattel.” “What do you mean?” Katya took a step away. “You’re just so good at getting yourselves into situations where you’re not welcome.” “Listen Violet, I have nothing against you.” Violet scoffed, and Katya looked really awkward, eyes darting between the two girls. “I honestly haven’t the foggiest as to what you’re on about.” “Pearl.” Oh. “You’re…” “Yep.” Violet glanced over to Katya. “Watch this one. She likes to play dirty.” Violet left, leaving the other two in a shocked silence. “What did she mean?” “Nothing. Just leave me alone.” Trixie spat, before she marched out towards her room.

The next day Trixie woke up with a start. “Lord! I’m going to be late!” She flew out of bed before she realised. She wasn’t at home. There was no final performance. She had no solo. She was here.

What a glorious start to the day, with the looming dread of facing Violet and knowing that she wasn’t able to do what she felt she was born to do.

She spent breakfast in silence, not making eye contact with anybody, a small rage running in her veins. *How could I have let this happen? It was a stupid mistake.* She sighed, and walked over to the communal area, where Mrs Edwards was leading a session on fulfilling gender roles. “So everyone, find a partner.” To Trixie’s dismay, Katya chose her, a guilt beginning to cloud her mind as she remembered how badly she treated Katya yesterday.

Katya and Trixie worked together in silence, taking it in turns to iron and fold clothes. “You’re good with your hands Trixie.” Katya remarked, causing Trixie to blush furiously; a habit she seemed to be developing. “You need to stop that, we’re here to get better, not tempt each other.” “So I’m tempting you?” “Oh please, you wish.” She threw the girl a dark look. “Let me guess, is it my hair? No. Okay, is it my dazzling smile?” Katya grinned and Trixie simply laughed bitterly, continuing to iron out a few creases on a shirt. “Is it my exotic accent.” Trixie’s jaw clenched. “Oh good, I’ve figured it out. Trixie Mattel likes the Russians.” “No!” Trixie yelled, resulting in a few stares from the other patients. “Don’t flatter yourself.” “You’re being difficult.” “You don’t say.” “You don’t like me do you?” “Not in the slightest.” “Oooh.” Katya raised her hand to her forehead. “You wound me.” “Good.” Trixie was beginning to get wound up. Her defences were rising, and she couldn’t be sure as to why.

Of course, Katya sat next to Trixie at dinner, causing Trixie to sigh and roll her eyes, shuffling an inch or two away from the other. “You have real problem with me, don’t you kukla?” “Oh Gosh! What ever gave that away?” Trixie’s voice was dark and sarcastic, a complete contrast to the Trixie Katya first met. But something broke that. Katya’s hand slipped into Trixie’s under the table. “I know it’s not me. What’s wrong?” Trixie was shocked. How did she know? She went to pull away, but something stopped her. Looking around, no one was staring, they were all too busy eating their dinner. This was okay. Still, Trixie struggled to conjure a reply to Katya’s question. “Let me guess. You are model student, da? Never got a grade lower than B. You have wonderful boyfriend that just doesn’t make your clam clammer like your friends say their boyfriends do. You like to look at girl in your class a bit more than other girls do. You like the way her blouse looks, or her skirt, or her eyes. You say to me, ‘But Katya! You must be a crazy person! Every girl does that!’ The answer is, Barbie, nyet. No. They do not. You are lesbian. I am lesbian. All girls here are lesbian. This is too difficult for your pretty little head to understand because mama and papa are the Christians, so homosexual is not good. You were perfect daughter. This is, how Americans say…tough toenails. Now what? You push away those who want to help you. You would prefer to have people who do not like this lesbian Trixie near you and loving you, and not the ones-” Katya squeezes her hand, “-who accept who you are.” “But being gay isn’t good! God didn’t make me this way.” “Let me tell you secret kushka. God is like the Saint Nikolas, the tooth fairy, and Easter rabbit.” Trixie giggled. “Doesn’t exist. It is lie to scare you into being what society deems as good. If people think gay is normal, then gay would be okay. But people don’t, so it is not. That is what your God does. This is not good Trixie. You were born lesbian. You love all of these pinks and flowers and pretty music. You like to sing? This is not what textbook lesbian is looking like. Da? You were born this way. There is no fixing science.” “So how will I ever get out?” “We will plan our escapes!” Trixie threw her head back and laughed, enjoying both Katya’s naive comments and her appalling language skills. “Okay, and how do you expect us to do that, Captain Katya?” “I like this Captain Katya.” Katya wiggled her eyebrows and stuck her tongue out. “You’re so strange.” “And so are you! With all your yellows and pinks. I prefer red. But! To escape you must come to my room tonight! And I will show you what we are to do.” “I don’t think that’s going to happen, I know your game.” Trixie sighed and took her hand away. “I thought you really got it for a second.” “What are you saying? My game? I thought you were the one for sleeping on the sly.” Trixie whipped around to fully face Katya, the fire in her eyes making Katya flinch. “What…did you just say?” “Uh-I…” “Violet.” Trixie seethed, she got up from her seat and stormed over to Violet, who was prodding a potato with her fork. “Can I help you, home-wrecker?” “I think we need to talk, don’t you?”
