I agree team RWBY haven’t made remnant worse but I question what they’ve done to make it better? There is ruby’s message which does “unite” them in a vague sense. But as far as actual institutional change they haven’t done much, the white fang has ghira in charge again so they’re more or less the same as before sienna, stopping Adam was the right thing to do but it doesn’t make life better for the Faunus, it just stops it from getting worse.

The status quo hasn’t really been changed except as a result of Salem’s actions.

This isn’t to say team RWBY aren’t still hero’s and deserve praise for what they’ve accomplished tho. They’re doing their absolute best to keep the world from burning lol.

First of all, I should note that our heroes had barely been given their licenses during the Atlas arc. This grants them at least some measure of legit authority to actually do anything about the status quo from a grander perspective. They are not politicians, they are not leaders, they are barely children as far as the rest of the world is concerned. The idea that it's all on them is a little ridiculous to me.

Secondly, I'd say the "status quo" has been shifting constantly since the days of Oz and Salem. Humanity 1.0 had magic, a full moon, and gods to hear their prayers. The gods then killed humanity, left the moon shattered, and a bitter and broken Salem behind.

Humanity 2.0 had aura, dust, semblances, Grimm everywhere until Oz and Salem came along as the "New Gods" as it were. Unfortunately, their period didn't last thanks to Oz and Salem's...disputes on what they wanted to do with the world.

So, you have a long period where Oz is stuck for what to do until The Great War. Following that, the monarchies are abandoned and the council systems with the Huntsmen Academies are born...as well as the Faunus War and Faunus Rights Revolution and Vytal Festival. None of THAT had Salem's hand in it.

Spoilers obviously for RWBY, and Naruto, under the cut.

As for what our heroes have accomplished, well, let's really look:

Stopping a master criminal that ran circles around other criminal organizations, the police, AND Ozpin and huntsmen he sent after them for years. Which then STOPPED crime, according to Qrow.

Safeguarding Vale, or at least aiding in its defense. They stopped the hack, Torchwick died (there goes any and all of Adam's new toys too thanks to them stopping the Breach), the Wyvern was frozen, and Neo turned on Cinder. Plus, Vale itself still stands thanks to them and isn't covered in Grimm (Beacon itself is, but last we saw? The teachers and others of Beacon were working to drive them out and keep them out of Vale).

The Nucklevee was storming up and down Mistral's countryside for DECADES before Team RNJR finally killed it in V4 (it's the same massive Grimm that attacked Ren's village and attacked other places in the modern day too).

Raven Branwen appears to have had a change of heart, if the V9 epilogue animatic is anything to go by. That's a HUGE change from Bandit Leader, Darwinist, "Survival of the fittest" Raven from V4 and V5.

Haven and Mistral as a whole were saved thanks to our heroes and attitudes toward Faunus IN MISTRAL have BEGUN to shift thanks to saving the ENTIRE KINGDOM from Adam. Because you can BET he wasn't ever going to stop with just blowing up the school. It's similar to Naruto and Sasuke saving the entire world at the end of Naruto. Sasuke still served a year's worth of jailtime that should've been a life sentence but was pardoned thanks to Naruto and Kakashi swaying the various Kages, considering his actions helped SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD and Naruto vouched for him. Change like that isn't going to happen overnight, but saving an entire kingdom from being either blown up or swallowed by literally negative emotion demons SHOULD count for something! If it doesn't, then what? Just leave them to die? Hardly a heroic thing or moral thing to do! Leverage it for change in the country, though, and then you've got something.

According to the novels, Vacuoans attitudes towards outsiders are shifting thanks to Team CVFY, SSSN, and others helping to get through to them and teaming up to save everyone from The Crown and the Grimm that followed. It's a SLOW process, but still.

When Qrow and Ozpin, the supposed leaders and most experienced people, gave up when things got tough? Team RWBY, with help from Maria, helped them back into fighting shape. It's here where Ruby herself takes command (thus breaking one BIG status quo element of Ozpin being the one in charge).

Caroline Cordovin being reminded that she serves the people was another, after a huge fight, otherwise the city of Argus would've been wiped out.

Getting very close to uniting Mantle and Atlas counts, because that broke the status quo of "Atlas above all else". Ironwood going full fascist doesn't negate that accomplishment or their efforts in pushing him mainly.

Investigating into and arresting Jacques. Pity they had no real time to celebrate it, but unseating the patriarch of the Schnee family and head of the SDC, getting him shoved in jail, and immediately thereafter trying to use their ships to evacuate people in Mantle? Those aren't nothing.

Trapping Watts and Tyrian. Those two seemed...untouchable until that point.

I'd say getting the message out there at all and shattering Salem's aura of secrecy is another good thing. If the massive crowd of ships and the memorial was anything to go by from V9's epilogue animatic, there are a lot of people that saw and followed Ruby's message to meet in Vacuo and unite to face their common threat. As I said earlier, it'll take a long time to truly address everything but getting people to see eye to eye AT ALL after DECADES of tension is sure to bear some fruit.

Upsetting the Red Prince and beating him? Helping Little become Somewhat and having them and Juniper as the Ever After's protectors? SAVING and helping Neo realize a few things that she needs to change about herself? Hell, even helping Jaune through his problems and the Paper Pleasers ascending into the Gems, the Cat being trounced, and helping people survive the ARMY of Neo Jaberwockers is a good thing.

Heck, if you'd like me to get a little into Salem's status quo's that they've broken? They blew her up, turned at least three people that she had in her clutches against her, destroyed one of the largest Grimm she had in her possession, and have generally been a thorn in her side since the beginning. Salem's faction is down from an entire network of spies, turncoats, and villains...to just. four. people thanks to our heroes.

Basically, what I'm saying is this: The changes to the Status Quo in RWBY's entire story doesn't hinge on just Salem's actions by proxy. Everyone has a hand in changing the way things are going.

To truly expect everything to be on our heroes' shoulders is...well, to quote Chloe Bourgeois from Miraculous Ladybug? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

Will they have a more active role to play in coming events? Absolutely. But it's worth pointing out their actions have had effects. From something as small as helping Penny have friends and getting Weiss and Blake to get along, to starting the uniting of the entire world, I truly believe our heroes have had major impacts.

It just requires a larger perspective.

[semi-imaginary-place]

naruto blogging part 3.

naruto actually has a couple chapters where he introspects and reflects on his childhood. it also includes a fist fight against his persona 4 style shadow self. he is no less unhinged about sasuke for this. sasuke on the other hand oh yeah not a shred of reflection or lessons learned, he's running full throttle on emotions only not a single thought in that boys head. no thoughts head empty only angst and violence.

if the jinchuuriki seal weakens during pregnancy why do you keep sealing them in women.

make kakashi a part of anbu at like 12 and sends him of deadly assasinations. but no he cant fight the kyuubi at 15 like lol he's definitely seen worse at this point

538 kishimoto is so trying to make this a thing. he just thought of it and now is trying to retcon the series, again. because none of the spars or fights until now have had this finger thing.

Kishimoto is a master of asspull no jutsu and retcon no jutsu and sudden power up no jutsu but it usually its at least connected. Like with itachi/sasukes sharingan with the left and right eyes just like how amaterasu and tsukiyomi were born of izanagi washing his left and right eyes. And then susanoo finished out the trio of powers/gods. I guess also foreshadowing that izanagi is also a jutsu. Havent seen izanami yet tho.

oh im not done got about another 160 chapters but i've been skipping around and jumping back and forth between the anime and manga. the anime has filler but a lot of the filler is actually pretty decent (and the only time women get screentime) the anime also includes novel information and in some plaes the pacing and presentation of events is actually better. i also got nostalgic and reread some of og naruto

when i said i was talking about drawing naruto i wasn't saying the the series in general i mean the obnoxious hyperactive orange jumpsuit wearing idiot. idk how much you saw but mid 2000s had loads of fan art like this was just after shippuden released and when people drew naruto in his 20s it was always with longer hair which i think is interesting since kishimoto gave him short short hair for his 30s. there's also the changing artstyle from the first anime to the newest as well as in the manga and i find that all interesting so i was thinking of making a refernce sheet for naruto essentially detailing how his appearance changes over time filled with head canons of course.

oh when i say filler i dont just mean filler episodes. the episodes themselves are often paced slow to drag things out or have unnecessary flashbacks. so you have opening and sponsors 2min replay of last part of earlier ep 5min ed + preview + skit 3min +3 min of flashbacks and at a 23min run time theres only really about 10min of content per ep

i think i said this before but wow i feel bad for the ninetails and bijuu. confined and sometimes chained or speared to pin them in place, stripped of bodily autonomy. their chakara or even their body parts or physical form are controlled by another person. because people are jealous of their power, because they do not look human. i have much empathy for the Other, its quite reasonable they want to destroy konoha

Sasuke's hair after the manga ends sucks so like all of boruto im ignoring it. Thinking back a lot of 2010 boys had the cockatoo hair: sasuke, allen walker, noctis, riku?. Anyways long hair could look good one him, tied back like itachi but keeping the bangs. I can understand wanting to hide the rinnegan but sasuke already was THE emoboy of the 2000s he doesnt need to look more emo. But if he had long hair would it be flat like itachi or spikey like madara?

Back to the double suicide pact. I've mainly heard about double suicides in japan in the context of lovers' suicide (i think hxh references this too) where two lovers decide to simultaneously kill themselves because circumstances wont allow them to be together in this life in hopes they can be together in the next. And thats literally what naruto proposes. Ah where the quote... Its like if we die i will no longer be the jinchuriki and you'll no longer be an uchiha we will be free of our burdens. If i cant be with you in this life i'd rather die and wait to be reincarnated with you. Naruto chooses death with sasuke over life as hokage im not over this. I'll take all your hatred so that you are freed from it. Like, bruh, wow.

Another thing i dont like about boruto is that naruto and sasuke dont have matching arms anymore. Its important that they match

having the sharingan evolve into the rinnegan is classic kishimoto bullshit. he just wanted another power level up. the sharingan is so closely tied to the uchiha clan with shinto imagery and then the rinnegan… well its used to create cheap narrative tension to give naruto an op villian to fight via nagato. the rinnegan is associated with buddhist imagery and divinity in naruto-verse and gets like the most random mix of powers kishimoto was clearly scrapping the dregs of his brain for cool power ideas. the 6 paths worked for the pain aesthetic but does mesh at all with the rinnegan's status as ultimate eye. you get attraction/repulsion, mechs, soul extraction, big animal summon, chakra absorption, revive the dead, some other weird summon. basically its whatever kishimoto needed at the time to make pain threatening with his usual 0 thoughts given to the implication for the whole series.

[mugiwara-lucy]

I find it funny how you Taka stans love going around saying how “Team Taka was the best team for Sasuke” yet NONE of them stood against or called out Sasuke for his stupidity in wanting to destroy Konoha and kill the elders unlike Team Seven who ALWAYS had Sasuke’s best interests at heart. Lol hypocrite much?

Why should they? What have ANY of the Hidden Villages EVER done for them?

NO ONE from the Hidden Mist Village even attempted to come after or save Suigetsu when he was kidnapped and held as a prison by Orochimaru.

Same with Karin and if you want to take the Anime continuity into account, she was basically used as a human fountain by Kusagakure. The same village that KILLED HER MOTHER. And given how many bite marks she has on her body…that may not be too far of a hypothetical scenario to consider.

And Jugo was octracized for his mental illness wherever he went before he ran into Kimimaro so this nonsense that Taka is supposed to be somehow indented to the Hidden Villages is exactly that, nonsense.

And I love how you say how Team Seven had Sasuke’s best interests in arc when apart from Naruto, they were all basically “okay boomer” to Sasuke’s WELL PLACED and JUSTIFIED anger. For heaven’s sake, Kakashi tied him to a tree and told him to “get over it” yet helped Shikamaru?

ALL of Sakura’s confessions revolved around how SHE felt without taking Sasuke’s feelings into account and when the situation got too heavy BOTH of them though Sasuke deserved to DIE.

Naruto is the only one who actually cares WHY Sasuke is doing what he’s doing.

So no, If we’re gonna argue about better teams; Team Taka wins HANDS DOWN in a LANDSLIDE.

Day 9:  (4) Calling Birds The Cat and the Hound (A03 Link Here)

this one is for an artist whose beautiful watercolors and meta analysis never fail to light up my day & my dash.  i am not going to tag him only because we’ve hardly ever interacted and i’m not sure how he’d feel about some rando linking him to a smut blog without warning, lol.  but i’m sure you all know who i’m talking about because how could you not also be an admirer of his work?

Summary:  Cat sits.  He waits.  He listens. Pairing:  None (Kakashi & Tenzo friendship bonds ftw) Word Count:  725 (hooray, a short one today!) Warnings:  none! .

Tenzo sat with his legs crossed, elbows balanced on his knees and masked face set atop his fists.

He sighed.

It wasn’t as though he wasn’t used to surveillance.  He’d been trained his whole life to sit in the shadows, to blend into his surroundings for hours and days at a time.

But that did not diminish the monotony of it.  Days of waiting on a tree branch without relief—no human interaction, no real food other than soldier pills—was lonely and cold and dull.

Coo-coocoo-coo.

Tenzo lifted his head, turning toward the source of the bird call; a location he could not see in the darkness of evening some fifty meters away where his Commander sat, likely just as unimpressed by their predicament.

It was a status check, asking if Tenzo had any updates from his position.

The young ANBU moved the Cat mask from his face, using it to brush his long brown hair out of his eyes as he cupped his gloved hands over his mouth and responded.

Keroo-keroo.

All quiet.

The pair had been assigned to a known location for several missing nin who had banded together. Mostly defectors from Kiri and Suna, responsible for a rash of robberies along a few prominent trade routes in the area. The hideout, as far as they could tell, had two main entrances and each man was posted someplace with a good view of one of them.

For Tenzo, that meant a tall, gnarled pine tree sticky with sap and dropping cones on his head when he tried to nap.  For Kakashi, it meant being wedged between two boulders in a craggy outcropping half-obscured by more of the dark conifers.

Caw-coco.

Tenzo snickered quietly.

The calls themselves shouldn’t have been funny; bō and circle.

But from the way Kakashi had drawn out the first caw, Tenzo knew the older man was not facing down a deadly ring of wooden staff-wielding thugs, but rather that he was making his feelings on their assignment known.

Booooring.

Tenzo’s response was quick.

Kuroow!

And as Cat slipped his mask back over his face, knowing Kakashi would not continue to engage in conversation for fear of drawing attention, he hoped his senpai would understand his meaning by using the directional call for right.

I agree.

Tenzo returned his attention to the mouth of the cave he’d been watching for four days and hoped he would soon be able to leave this mission behind, another memory he’d never need to revisit once the reports had been filed.

His thoughts drifted to the silver-haired man wearing a Hound mask fifty meters southwest of him, as they often did these days.

Tenzo had read Kakashi Hatake’s file, of course.  Mother dead, father killed by his own hand, friends killed in action, sensei lost against the Nine-Tailed Fox.  And Tenzo thought it would be easy for a man like that to be every ounce the cold-blooded killer many of his peers made him out to be.

But a man who had truly earned the title of Friend Killer wouldn’t make his subordinate laugh during a long stakeout using bird calls, would he?

Kakashi was often like that, cracking strange jokes.  Welcoming Tenzo into the locker room after he’d introduced himself using the false name bestowed upon him by the Foundation.

There was a kindness to his Senpai, a lightness dancing somewhere within the shadows that Tenzo had never seen in any of his other Commanders; that he did not see in most of the other ANBU Captains, even.

He was still trying to figure out how all the light and darkness fit inside the man who was slowly turning from soldier to savior to comrade to friend.  The more distance Tenzo put between himself and Danzo Shimura and ROOT, the closer he felt to Kakashi.

He hoped that might continue.

Scree-scree.

Movement.

Tenzo’s shoulders tensed and he stood, balanced precariously on the branch he’d been stationed on for seemingly endless hours.  He stretched his neck from left to right, listening to the soft popping of the tendons as he loosened himself for the coming fight.  Pulling his tanto from its sheath, he took off into the night, toward his senpai.  Toward his friend.

He didn’t need to respond with a bird call this time, he knew his Senpai would be expecting him.

[narahairline]

not necessarily a doodle prompt but like. since your characterizations mean the world to me id really love to hear what you'd do if you got the chance to write boruto :]

tysm!! im so happy they resonate with u!! 🥺🌻✨

my reply got way longer than expected so im gonna put a cut

also took this more seriously than necessary but my god. do i have opinions on this.. 🤪

tl;dr pretty much nothing the writers are doing gbhfjsdk just have it be ninja adventure slice of life

tbh theres a lot of things i feel just.. dont really work about the entire concept of it as a sequel

imo its pretty apparent that theyre struggling to form a cohesive plot based on a series that didnt have the most cohesive writing/worldbuilding/lore to begin with and there’s the whole issue of trying to shift focus on a new set of protagonists when the old ones are considered the strongest in their universe and literally killed a god. it leaves the writers with no other options than going even bigger and bigger (like idk. implanting boruto with aliengod.zip) and at some point it just feels.. very out of proportion and like the writers are struggling to bring it all together in a way that makes sense 🤔

not to even mention the original series theme of revolution resulting in... none of the systems changing... the protagonists complacency in the very systems that traumatized them, that became their drive to fight for change... idk its so disheartening lol

as for what i do think would work, its probably short stories or arcs 🤔

little snippets of their life like the hokage inauguration short, which i think showcased the best of boruto lol juxtaposing their everyday life with them all just having these immense powers, having the older and younger generations conflicts intertwine, showing them adusted/adjusting to a different life entirely

also really liked the anime’s mitsuki arc since it linked established conflicts from the original series to those of the newer generation in a way that doesnt alienate the viewer if they havent seen naruto. focused on processing the war and how to move forward, change things for the better, trying and failing. what it means to be human and what it means to create life. worked really well imo.

but yeah more of that basically!! how has the world changed, what remains, how are the systems changing; focussing the legacy theme on the last 3 generations instead of the otsutsuki

for example i really like the parent/child training filler episodes or the idea with the internships and differing career options lol (tho i still think they shouldnt make kids work full time jobs at age 12 but what do i know)

so basically just more of that!! and more actual change lol. when they said they hadnt done a single thing for ame in those 15 years.. oh rage. theres kids living in sewer systems.. literally killing themselves for an organization promising them the change they desperately want... sounds familiar 🤔

you know (boruto spoiler!!) maybe konoha deserved to have kara snatch some of jiraiyas corpse dna idk

all that being said i still think the best option for a sequel wouldve been one set ~5 years after the end of shippuden. have team 7 lead their own teams. have kakashi be hokage if there really has to be one. theyre still relevant, can still show their powers without taking away from the new teams developement too much. put more focus on how the world is changing after what happened with pain and the 4th war. show how theyre rebuilding and reforming the systems that lead to those events.

[ayyyez]

Is it too late to request some serotonin in the form of soft fluffy comfort hcs for Kakashi and Tobirama, and maybe Genma if you feel like it? I know he's not on your list tho so absolutely don't worry about it if you don't want to ❤️❤️❤️

a/n: Katie I gotchu bby! I can do Genma any day after all our convos about him and I’ll try to make them extra long ❤️ warnings: none 

Genma Shiranui

Probably the most likely out of the bunch to actually know how to comfort another human. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not an expert but he tries and it’s a soft sight to see. 

Genma can come off as more the sweet talking, happy go lucky guy but he actually does pay attention and observe you. So he can tell almost right away when something isn’t right. 

If you’ve just come home he will great you like normal and wait. If you act like things are fine he will observe you. He wants to see whether he needs to push for you to talk or just kind of hold you. He’s good at holding you. 

If you try to go about your usual routine he will play dumb. “Hey, you sit down I’ll do this for you.” You can tell instantly he’s up to something but with your own issues you let it go and let him take over. Later he will come and talk to you. 

But let’s say whatever is going on is big and you just sort of explode? Will let you scream, cry, whatever you need. The whole time he has a hurt look on his face. It’s not that you hurt him, not at all, it’s that he HATES seeing you hurt. 

Either scenario his words will be absolute. No funny business, no sweet talk or rambling. Just plain “Everything will be okay.” or “It’s not your fault.” If none of these work it will just be the “I love you, okay?” Now that is something he doesn’t say lightly. 

The aftermath is a lot softer and sweeter. Takes you to the couch or your bed. Sits with you, arms around you. Feels a lump in his throat, he’s itching to say something but he doesn’t know what. He thinks he should be doing more but honestly, he is doing a lot.

Stroking your hair, your back, pulling you closer every so often. Just squeezing you in general to communicate “I’m here.” He’s awkward but he loves you so he tries. 

When the breakdown and cool down and you’ve talked it out, he will be a little more light hearted. Will try to make you laugh or smile. His smooth talking delivery is awkward and off but that in itself is funny (in the moment anyway you can tease him about that later). 

He becomes a bit restless like he needs to be doing something. You need water? Food? Should he cook? Burns something because he’s a little shaken up and he can hear his mother scolding him in his head lol. 

All of a sudden gets really talkative. He is trying to distract you and stop your mind lingering on whatever has brought you down. It will sometimes turn into a deep and meaningful conversation that allows him to open up more since everything is raw and vulnerable. 

He will still have you either in his arms or be touching you in someway. It’s his way of comforting you and letting you know he is there. He isn’t going anywhere. Bless this man, honestly. 

Kakashi Hatake

I guess it depends on what age Kakashi is. Younger Kakashi, comfort is all physical because he has no idea how to talk about feelings. It’s all long, drawn out hugs that feel like he would die if he let you go. Sometimes it does feel that way to him. 

Also younger Kakashi would spend the night which in itself is a big deal. He wasn’t big on attachments and generally would run the second things got intimate, emotional or otherwise. 

But older Kakashi is wiser and far more versed in talking to people. He still struggles with the whole aspect of comfort but he has a better understanding of talking your emotions out. 

Won’t even feign ignorance to your different mood. Will straight up ask you “What is it?” or “Is something wrong?” He will not let it go either so you can’t even pretend to act like something isn’t wrong. 

He won’t be aggressive about but he will calmly ask you again or just start explaining to you the importance of not bottling your emotions (as if he is one to talk but I digress). 

It eventually pushes you one way or another and you let everything out. It actually breaks his heart to see you in pain but he can’t worry about him because it’s you he is concerned with. 

Kakashi begins with the logic of the matter. He doesn’t belittle whatever you are going through but helps explain the logic and that it’s normal for you to feel this way. Acknowledges your feelings in the matter. 

Once the logic is out of the way he gets a little softer. The physical sides of his comforting will roll out here. Especially if you are really down. He will put an arm around you and pull you against him. His grip is secure, with no signs of letting go. 

Doesn’t really talk much after that. Like when he was younger his instincts to just hold you close take over. Let’s you judge how long to stay like that. If you give him no indication of wanting to move he will at least suggest moving to the bed to be more comfortable. 

Lies down so you are facing each other (even if you don’t want to look at him) he will look at you. Arms still around you. Will stay up the whole time even if you fall asleep to watch over you. Won’t let you go. 

Will whisper things to you when you sleep like “I’m sorry.” or “I’m here.” He hopes this will help you on some level. And maybe he is saying them because he feels he should do more. Presses a kiss to your forehead when you definitely are asleep.

When you do wake up he will press more soft kisses to you forehead, just below your eye (especially if you cried and they be puffy) and one to your lips. It’s enough to distract you for a moment and concentrate on how warm it is in his arms. 

Tobirama Senju 

Look. This man just sucks at comforting. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t try to ease your worries. He’s just not going to scoop you up right away and plaster you with affection. He’s not that man. He can still be soft though.

If he tries to comfort you then you KNOW this man loves you. Similar to Kakashi, if he notices you are off then he will ask you about it. “Is everything alright?” If you lie to him he will be a little salty but will forgive you for it. It’s not like he hasn’t done the same thing. 

He won’t prod straight away but will watch you with keen eyes. You can feel his gaze on you the whole time. If you don’t seem to improve then he will ask (demand) again that you tell him. “What is going on?” 

The look in his eyes, ah it’s a mix of concern but also a little hurt- like don’tyoutrustme? Damnit Tobirama why you have to take things so personally lol. 

So you confess whatever is on your mind or whatever happened to leave you in need of comfort. He listens keenly the whole time and waits for you to finish. A few tense second goes by and he just goes “Hmm.” He isn’t dismissing you okay, he is looking for the right thing to say. 

His words are always deliberate. (well mostly he is a drama queen.) Will hit you with his summary of the situation, to make sure he understands correctly then hits you with the logic. He’s a logical man most of the time. 

But the logic doesn’t cut it. Even if it makes you feel a little better, something more is required. And he is just lost because what else can he do? Thinks long and hard but like he is so damn awkward at intimacy he kind of just goes “It’s been a long day we should go get some rest, come on.” 

Now this is Tobirama code for I don’t know wtf to do but I don’t want to just dismiss this so let’s go cuddle. Well technically he thinks sleep not cuddle but every night Tobirama falls asleep clinging to you so it’s sort of the same thing. 

The second you get into bed he comes up behind you and puts his arm around you. Presses his body against his back. This serves two purposes: to give you comfort and so that you can’t see his face. He is a little flustered by cuddling up against you so quickly so just let it be. 

His hand seeks out yours and he pulls it against your body to tighten the embrace. Won’t initiate conversation but will talk if you do. Honestly does hope this makes you feel better. One of his more softer, less selfish moments tbh. 

[littlebabycrybtch]

bro..... im sooo tired of ppl being whiny freaks about ppl liking fictional shit ‘~too much~’. like bitches are literally fully convinced if you prefer acting out certain ideas in fiction but not irl, thats not your normal preferential boundaries but rather your brain is a mental illness BOMB and you need to be fucking hospitalized for being imaginative and having autonomy. like yall if its not taboo or smth shut uuuuhp man you’re not ‘concerned for their health’ or w/e you’re fully just tryna get away with being a nihilistic asshole who lacks sympathetic reasoning skills. listen to me. fiction is valuable. the thoughts we have on it are important. the personal lack of value you happen to put on a media is next to worthless. its not a fuckin waste of time dude, creators are people, who live in the real world, they experience it and have ideas through it and about it, they form and tweak their ideas while still definitely existing in the real world, and then put that back into the world with a new angle and new perspective, to share with other people definitely encountering it in , you guessed it , the real world. thats not disconnected. its not nothing. these things do not magically appear from fairytale land, they are created. stories mean smth, people tell them for a reason, its ok to feel smth for any story, why would we even tell them if not with the intention to impact others emotionally somehow i mean??? fiction does not Just affect reality, it is valuable to real life society, it is a functioning thriving part OF reality. 

humans have told stories since the dawn of our existence. it is literally all but an inherent species trait for us to imagine things, its tied to each and every one of us, and to reject ‘fantasy’ as smth worthless to human life is frankly just fuckin wrong and weird of you. bitch we are Supposed to get outside the box, the fandom ppl you cringe your pants over arent thinking abt fake shit too much, you guys very often just arent exercising abstract thought and imagination enough, which actually hurts your ability to engage with it critically in all the ways its meant to be. if you dont see the value in fiction its because you put in no effort to form the analysis skills. in other words, you idiots dont get the hype bc you’re too stupid to get how you're supposed to compare a book to the real world it came from. ‘uu but cmon not everythings valuable what about [tumblr designated cringe media]-’ 1. ok! somehow you havent come to this conclusion yourself yet but thats not real, whatever ppl get to enjoy is not all abt you, your bias means less than dirt to others outside of hivemind social medias, you can keep it to yourself, ppl shouldnt care about it bc it means nothing outside of ur own space, its literally funny to me that you’re so elitist you want me to cater my interests to you, Your Standard Of Quality Isnt Universal, 2. ranking the values of fiction is the waste of time here, if you compare mlp to pride and prejudice ill dissect your teeth, different emotional impacts from tragic to funny to Just A Vibe are all able to be assessed as ‘valuable to somebody else so leave well enough alone’ if you dont have 2010+ funnyman brainrot disease that makes you incapable of reflecting on anything you can find a way to joke abt first.

i mean seriously like. whenever randos start engaging with medias you ppl dont like or in ways you dont get, the strawmans yall make up to get to be cringe culture vultures abt such benign shit, and almost Always at the expense of neurodivergent people with a deeply rooted undertone of extreme ableism might i add..... its just so selfish. u have a brain ok, you’re manipulative but we both know you dont Actually think ppl automatically default to being a waifu obsessed incel rotting away at their basement computer, stagnating their social skills and straying further and further from reality with each passing day, a poor disturbed wretch that you just HAVE to save from themselves, all bc they say they. prefer fictional porn or w/e to having sex irl. buddy thats not a big deal, theyre normal, just different from you. theyre fine, you’re just uncomfortable. as a functioning adult you’re gonna have to try and recognize that sometimes that feelings gonna be 100% on you, and you cant always just lie abt the validity of it to make ppl feel obligated into agreeing with you. this is gonna be one fragment of their personhood and your self obsessed brain imploding over how unrelatable that is doesnt fucking matter, grow up bitch like. how detached do you have to be to think thats so unstable or morally wrong.... its just a completely inconsequential preferential decision that only affects them and isnt a wrong choice at all cuz nobody has to get their dick wet if they dont wanna for any reason ever and thats gotta be that tbh.... and it kills me cuz they still inherently experience the real world and are capable of thinking abt it critically,,, even tho they... masturbate to drawings or w/e the fuck ppl think is unhealthy ???? like? imagination is just fun we dont need to moderate it anymore than we moderate other fun activities i mean lol ksdjfsd this is the DEFINITION of ‘just vibing’ no one FUCKING cares and it deosnt fucking matter the way you desperately try to make ppl think it does just so u get to be loud abt ur shortcomings as a decent understanding person. 

‘uuuuuu im sorry but thats unhealthy :///’ you sound like a goddamn maniac dude stories are not unhealthy having feelings abt them is not unhealthy thinking some anime bitch that was DRAWN TO BE HOT , IS HOT, is not UNHEALTHY and you clowns arent convincing anybody you ‘care’ abt that concept anyways !! im losign my mind here skdlsdfsd medias are literally DESIGNED TO DO THIS TO PEOPLE... WE’RE SUPPOSED TO FEEL THINGS FOR IT.... IT IS WHAT MAKES THE ART WE’VE TAKEN PART IN FOR CENTURIES, “ART”.... ITS JUST... HAVING IDEAS AND EXPERIENCING IMAGINATION..... whats wildly unhealthy actually is yalls toxic obsession with ‘harsh truth’ and validating your stupid ass cwinge feewings to the point where everything that gives your underdeveloped selfish ass hives has to be a matter of health and morals and whats ‘best’ for everyone. u dont know that shit!!!! ur a petty brat and im not ur mommy ok i wont baby you so u dont feel like the shitty whiny person you are, you need to grow and do better and think outside urself already, dont put the responsibility of making u feel right for judging somebodies benign hobbies on me. i wont bc its wrong and unnecessary. you’re not a savior no ones falling for that lmao you’re just a bitch girl xoxo get over it shit truly does not matter. let them write nsfw self insert fics instead of banging !! 

to make it real do yall really not Get that basic consent kinda doesnt just mean ‘no when im not in the mood at the time’ but it means ‘no if i just dont fuckin feel like having sex ever for literally any reason at all bc i choose what i do’ and pressuring them, even with what your warped brain translates as the best of intentions, is inherently disgusting? especially with the ‘i know how to help you’ attitude like......... ohhh die soonly ew lmao! lay off this nasty shit already please it doesnt matter! stop trying to make it matter!! its not hurting you or them you stupid tumblr phd ass!! and like again yeah some media shits just truly gross but tbr now its like even That kind of shit, the Real social issues caused by Actually problematic media that ppl should discuss Genuinely without ulterior motives, is being used more and more rampantly as just a stepping stone to get to the needless mockery of other harmless things in the media they want an excuse to bag on.......... like a bitch cant just be grown and talk about problems at face value without getting a bully jab in. smhhhhh you all fuckin suck please just stop talking already. so anyways yeah being attracted to fictional characters instead of real people or w/e IS funny, funny how many boyfriends they have when u have none xoxo theyre having fun and you can die sad abt it they get to die 5 times in an angsty fantasy fic and be brought back with mouth to mouth by fuckin kakashi every time and then they go get lunch irl while ur updating tinder bitch ... different fucking strokes ig !

[yangssunglasses]

My impressions from reading Naruto v1 official translation (for the record I only started reading this manga after Sasuke Retrieval Arc, so this is not a re-read, I know this stuff from anime only). It got pretty long, so it’s under the cut.

The prologue about Kyuubi makes it sound as if he was regularly causing cataclysms and terrorizing people, when we know he’s been locked up in Mito and Kushina for around 100 years total. Lol the retcons.

Hiruzen’s bald-faced LIES

I want to know more about the crystal ball jutsu, did he go to Ninja Hogwarts or what? (and divination was his best subject, professor Trelawney would be proud)

Also, he’s kind of blind because he asks Iruka if it’s him when he’s standing right next to him.

No one in this village knows how Jinchuuriki seals actually work. They think Naruto is a human form of Kyuubi and that killing him will solve the problem.

Every teacher is a freaking Jedi Master.

DOPPELGANGERS everywhere

Iruka is dope and he should have gotten to become a jonin and teach Naruto more cool stuff. Instead he got stuck in the Academy for life, yeah he got a cushy job with no life-threatening risks, but he could’ve been awesome ninja.

Naruto and Konohamaru - “From now on we’re archrivals!” then immediately Konohamaru gets replaced by Sasuke as Naruto’s real rival. Sad.

Ebisu bragging about training Hokage candidates and how he’s from the line of elite tutors when we know none of the Hokage candidates were his students. He’d maybe have actual credentials if he was related to Senju, but... it didn’t happen. So he’s just talking himself up.

No “Sasuke-kun” wtf is this

Sakura is so immature, self-centered, insecure, dishonest and mean in the beginning, I kind of love it. She came a long way from that girl. Also, apparently every fic that shows her young self as selfless, sensitive, empathetic, thoughtful and compassionate is dead wrong.

Sakura telling Sasuke how Naruto has it good because he doesn’t have parents to nag at him like she doesn’t know Sasuke’s whole clan got murdered??? It can’t be just her self-centered attitude at fault here, she’s obsessed with Sasuke, if the thing was made public she’d know. This looks like another cover up of Hiruzen’s. Kyuubi’s sealed in Naruto? Don’t tell other kids but you can treat him like shit. Uchihas were wiped out in one night? Let’s pretend nothing happened and never discuss it so that everyone forgets their existence. Is no one telling anyone anything important in this village?

Despite Sakura’s trashtalking Naruto, Sasuke’s nice to her later and even opens up to her a little. Hmm :)

They both were impressed by Naruto’s DOPPELGANGERS and his determination to beat Kakashi. It was a nice moment. How many times people overlook that to bash on Sasuke and Sakura? Ghhh

It’s pretty fun how all three of them are obssessed with different things. They’re just strong characters from the start.

First volume and they’re already drawn on chapter cover with their future summons, the foreshadowing :)

“shinobi reads hidden meanings within hidden meanings”

basically every iconic moment is translated differently and it really grates on my nerves

on the other hand some translations are much more clear on the meaning and ninja stuff is explained better (I checked with the fan translation out of frustration)

Kakashi’s jokes are mean but funny. He’s not a teacher, he’s a child tormentor lol

Ninja kids are hardcore and also adults “because they wear the headband”. And that’s why I can never take BNHA stakes seriously, Naruto and HxH set my standards pretty high for angst and asskicking. Actually no, DB set the standard with 4-year-old Gohan kicking Raditz’s ass and then getting kidnapped by Piccolo for a year long survival training in the wild. And then participating in all big fights until he was 11.

P.S Please take your time <3

General: 

Generally fine, with a few points to consider.

 a)      Her personality you describe as ‘peaceful’ and ‘calm’, which doesn’t sound like someone who carries a grudge. Also, someone who is indecisive wouldn’t make for a very diplomatic personality, I think.

b)     You can’t really like harmony but dislike conformity, as the opposites usually go hand-in-hand.

 History:

Again, generally fine, the level of violence and adaption to family life is realistic to Naruto. I like the idea of growing scales on the body. It’s a distinctive character trait – it’s a bit of a shame that you decided to cover them up in the character design – maybe as she gets older she becomes more comfortable showing them?

However, I’m not sure she would get bullied that hard over them. Biologically exaggerated Kekkai Genkais have been shown to be not uncommon in the Naruto world, and just having some scales on the bottom part of your legs doesn’t seem all that weird in comparison to be honest.

Also, why does her father leave her in the care of the village Elders specifically? You said the mother and father were well-respected in the village, but it doesn’t sound like they were actually on the council or anything, meaning there would be more convenient people to leave her in the care of; after all, Elders are busy people (I assume by Elders you mean members of the village councils – if you just mean older people in the village, disregard this last bit).

 Looks and Appearance:

Why does she smell of wet strawberries?

The biggest question here for me is how the leg scales help her swim/breathe underwater? If she had webbed feet I might understand that helping her swim, but scales wouldn’t do that. Also, scales wouldn’t affect her ability to breathe underwater – or do you mean just stay under the surface of the water? In which case the breath-holding thing would come into play again; most ninjas are trained to stay underwater as cover and hold their breath for a long time anyway. I can’t really see how this trait would help that.

 Relationships:

Family and teammates look nice and varied. Maybe put a bit more thought into her parents’ personalities and values? Many of these would be passed onto their daughter as they raised her.

It’s good that your character is consistently scared of Gaara; that’s good and realistic. Maybe think some more about how their relationship would develop past ‘her fear of him disappeared’.

 Justus and Abilities:

Well-balanced; she’s not overpowered and you have a good spread of abilities and ability progression. I assume many of the jutsus you mentioned are made up by you so I can’t really comment too much on that.

 Overall:

You obviously thought and planned out a lot about Megumi Yoko and it shows. She’s neither overpowered not overly weak. I really like her, but I feel like you could make her stand out a bit more. With a very introverted personality, it can be easy for these kinds of characters to feel less well-defined than others. Looking forward to where you take her from here :)

Hello! I need to catch up on Naruto and I would like to know since you are a fan of Sasuke why do you like his character ? I often think Sasuke is misunderstood by a lot of people, myself I have sometimes a hard time understanding him but I find him interesting ! Hope this question don't bother you, have a good day! :)

Hi! Don’t worry, your question doesn’t bother me at all! My reply is under the readmore. I’m sorry that it got so gigantic! It almost turned into a novel lol. It also may contain mild spoilers so please proceed with caution :)

One of the reasons I like him is because he’s human. Sasuke went through extreme trauma and mental torture at the age of 9, received absolutely no treatment or therapy for it, and was sent to live by himself in the same house his parents were murdered in. He didn’t get any help to deal with his trauma as he grew up. Would a normal human be able to get over such a thing simply because they found friends? to me the fact that Sasuke still suffers and is so affected by his trauma is what makes him realistic. He always needs to rely on a big life goal, put all of his thoughts and efforts into it, whether it’s revenge or justice or redemption, because if he doesn’t have one, it would be just him and his trauma to focus on, and would anyone be able to actually live like that? To me it’s amazing that Sasuke was even able to go on living by himself, to go to school and study and even find emotional attachment to people, protect them and sacrifice himself for them.

In general, most humans aren’t simply good or bad. The majority of us can be kind and generous while still being mean and selfish at times. We can be strong and still have moments of absolute weakness. The majority of us struggle with our mental illnesses and don’t just “get over it”, especially without any help. Sasuke is kind and selfless; he sacrificed himself for Naruto during the Haku fight, was ready to sacrifice himself again to save Naruto and Sakura during the Gaara fight, during the chuunin exams Kabuto pointed out how soft he was because he refused to attack him to get his scroll despite the fact that that’s what the exam required of him, in early shippuden he refused to kill anyone and ordered Taka not to kill, he learned how to extinguish the Amaterasu flames in order to save Karin, he threw himself in front of Sarada to protect her, he gave up on a peaceful life for himself for the sake of protecting their hard-earned world peace. But he also had times when he could be mean and selfish, when the pressure and the sadness were just too much, when he didn’t know how to deal with the trauma and the lies and the shock. And to me that’s a character that I can support, not because I think his mistakes were justified but because he’s not a messiah, he actually has to struggle with himself and his flaws, he has to fight against his trauma and his mental illnesses, which is what most humans are like instead of simply being wise and strong and flawless from the start.

What people fail to understand about Sasuke is that he’s a good person; that’s exactly the reason why his cruelty during the Gokage meeting arc was so shocking to every character in the story, because it was there to show that he wasn’t himself anymore; that’s exactly why the explanation of the “Uchiha curse” exists; and yet for some reason people tend to take that as being Sasuke’s actual personality, despite the fact that the manga had shown him in his normal state before, that we had actually gotten to see his gradual fall into darkness and his reason for it.

I like how Sasuke tends to be silent and distant on the outside but soft and kind on the inside. It’s thanks to him that team 7 gets accepted by Kakashi in the first place, because he decides to feed Naruto even though he was told not to. When he hears that Itachi is in the village, the first thing he worries about is Naruto’s safety, not his own safety or his own goals. He notices when Sakura is feeling down and comforts her by praising her abilities. He rarely ever expresses his feelings in words but he shows them with his actions; by sacrificing himself for someone, by protecting them, by showing pride towards their accomplishments, by gestures like the forehead poke. You’ll rarely find him saying cheesy things but if he cares about you and loves you, you’ll know. On the inside, he loves intensely. (Btw, how cute is it that he feeds cats and makes friends with them during his travels?)

Another thing I like about Sasuke is his extreme love and loyalty towards his family. Maybe it’s because I’ve been raised in a culture where family is always the most important, but I can’t help but appreciate how none of the things he did throughout the series were for himself, but for his family. People think Sasuke is disloyal because he “betrayed” Konoha but the truth is, Sasuke’s loyalty was never with Konoha to begin with, from the start it was always about family, he wanted to be acknowledged by his father, he wanted to join the Uchiha police force. He loved his mother and brother so much, cared about his father’s impression of him, was so proud of his family. And every single thing he wanted to do throughout the series was for them, wanting to avenge them, restore their honor, protect Konoha for Itachi’s sake. The fact that Sasuke and the rest of the Uchiha saw “the Uchiha” and “Konoha” as two separate entities and were only loyal to one of those was a result of Konoha’s own choice to alienate the Uchiha; you can’t treat a group of people like shit and then expect them to somehow love you and be loyal to you.

Sasuke doesn’t fit any generic shounen character type. His character is complex. He starts off as the typical rival but soon his character goes its own way. He has his own goals, his own path in life, his own relationships and his story doesn’t revolve around the main character or catching up to him. In fact it’s the opposite, it’s Naruto whose story mostly revolves around Sasuke. He’s one of the characters who makes this story unpredictable and interesting. Because let’s be real, the plot of Naruto is rather predictable. Naruto meets villain, Naruto has training arc or gets a powerup, Naruto defeats villain, rince and repeat until he becomes Hokage. Even one of the biggest “mysteries” of the series, Tobi’s identity, was predicted by everyone after his very first appearance. Throughout all of this it’s Sasuke who keeps the story interesting, because you’re never really sure what he’s gonna do, how he’s gonna react to things, where he’s gonna end up. That’s the reason why he was/is often the main subject of discussion even among people who don’t like him. Even up until the very end some people were saying he was gonna come back and become anbu, some were saying he would leave with taka, some thought he would die. No one could really guess where he would end up, whereas with other characters things were much more easy to predict.

I like Sasuke because I actually stop to look at things from his point of view as well; I know it’s hard to do so when the narrative always presents things from Naruto and Sakura’s side. It’s easy to just look at the surface and say: Sasuke made Naruto and Sakura sad, therefore he is bad. But when I look at things from Sasuke’s point of view, I understand all of the things he does, and I realize the choices he makes are often the most realistic considering his situation.

Let’s start from the very beginning. A lot of people hate Sasuke because they think he “treated Naruto like shit” throughout part one. But if you actually take the time to read the manga, who was the one who showed contempt towards the other first? It was Naruto. He hates Sasuke because he’s popular and Sakura likes him. This is established from the very beginning. The accidental kiss happened because Naruto tried to provoke Sasuke as a result of his jealousy. Naruto was the one who attacked Sasuke first—tied him up and tried to kiss Sakura while posing as him. And yet only minutes after that Sasuke still chose to defend him against Sakura. Throughout the rest of part one Sasuke and Naruto do bicker and fight a lot, but all of those fights and insults are two-sided and yet for some reason I only ever see people focus on Sasuke’s side.

It’s the same with all of the more serious fights between them. The majority of them were actually started by Naruto. People claim that Sasuke mistreated and/or abused Naruto and Sakura; but the truth is, if Sakura and Naruto hadn’t chased after Sasuke, Sasuke wouldn’t have even met any of them between chapter 180 and 631. That’s the space between when he left Konoha and when he joined the war. That’s more than 450 chapters. Naruto is the one who started the first big Nar/Sas fight. He chased after Sasuke and told him he’d “break his arms and legs and bring him back like a broken stick” if he had to. The fight against team Kakashi in Orochimaru’s lair happened because they chased after him and tried to bring him back. The fight in the Gokage meeting arc happened because Sakura chased after Sasuke and tried to kill him by herself. Sasuke simply left and made it clear to them that he had severed their bonds; they’re the ones who went after him. You can’t be an abuser when you don’t even want a relationship with your so-called victims. Every single time, he was either rejecting them and/or retaliating against their own attacks. Am I saying they shouldn’t have tried to stop him even when he was a criminal? No, but people shouldn’t pretend that Sasuke was specifically going after Sakura and Naruto to hurt or “abuse” them, when they’re the ones who chased after him. He was an enemy of Konoha because the village had murdered his family in cold blood. It’s not about “abuse” or Sakura and Naruto’s feelings.

And it’s easy to only consider their feelings in this situation; oh, they loved him and wanted to save him but he rejected them, he’s such an ass. But the truth is Sasuke doesn’t have to go back to the village that killed off his family, made him miserable and offered him no support as a childjust to make them happy. He doesn’t have to put their feelings before his own. He doesn’t have to put them, teammates that he had been with for a few months at most, over his family that raised him for 9 years. People are allowed to reject relationships they don’t want. Yes, rejection hurts, but it doesn’t automatically make the person who rejected you an asshole.

It’s easy to judge Sasuke for his decisions without paying attention to the circumstances that caused him to make them. “He betrayed his friends and left Konoha”— even though he had just had the shit beaten out of him by his brother, had been mentally tortured for days within a genjutsu, had been told he was weak because he didn’t have enough hate. People just expect a twelve-year-old to deal with it and move on.“He flip-flopped too much”—despite the fact that he had had his entire world turned upside down because he had been told that his whole life was a lie, his abusive brother loved him all along and it was Konoha who had caused his misery. I don’t know how or why people expect someone to just stay strong while being put through all of that.

I have a lot of issues with the series itself and the morals it tries to convey. For example, the series tries to pit “talent” and “hard work” against each other; Kishimoto seems to think that talented people don’t work hard or that they are somehow assholes by default (it’s also hypocritical because later on we find out Naruto himself actually had a lot of natural talents and advantages as well). I see a lot of people make arguments such as “Sasuke had everything handed to him while Naruto worked hard”. They ignore how hard Sasuke worked to learn the fireball jutsu and the Chidori, or how he trained with Orochimaru for three years, they also ignore that Naruto was able to learn the Rasenshuriken with minimal effort because of his naturally high chakra reserves or that almost the entirety of his power as an adult relies on Kurama, something that was given to him at birth. They ignore that everytime Sasuke got a free powerup Naruto got one too.

I also hate how the series tries to portray Sasuke and anyone else who wants reform or justice as a villain. Kishimoto thinks status quo > reform. It doesn’t matter if keeping the status quo means sweeping genocides under the rug, trampling on the rights of smaller villages with less power, ignoring the discrimination happening within clans. As long as “the village” is still standing, everything is okay. Don’t try to fix anything. Accept the “darkness” of the village. I come from a country with a dictatorship, so it’s much easier for me to understand Sasuke who wanted change rather than Konoha and their obsession with keeping everything as is. Yes, Sasuke’s method of fixing things was wrong, but people forget that this boy’s role model was Itachi, the one who thought the best way to protect a little kid was to torture him and tell him to live with hate, and it’s not like anybody actually condemned those actions. Everyone who knew the truth about Itachi thought he was the wisest person in history—the fandom does as well. And yet people are surprised when Sasuke thinks the best way to fix the system is through making people hate him. Only then does the fandom start talking about how “Sasuke should’ve learned from Itachi’s mistakes”, despite the fact that every other time they deny Itachi even made mistakes. The fact that Sasuke is ready to live a life of misery where everyone hates him is proof of how selfless he is, because yes it’s a misguided decision but it’s not a pleasant one, it’s not something he’s doing for himself. In the end instead of finding a better way to fix the system, Naruto just decides to keep the status quo.

Of course I like his design and abilities as well. I mean let’s be real, the duckbutt is almost iconic at this point, lol. Sasuke has the most interesting fighting style, the swordplay combined with the fire and the way he evolved Kakashi’s Chidori into so many different weapons. Not to mention his switcheroo ability after he gets the rinnegan. In my opinion he also gets the most interesting fights as well, Sasuke vs Deidara is still one of my favorites.

Anyways I’m sorry that this post got so long. This is why I never write character analysis, I tend to ramble way too much lol. Hope you have a nice day and thanks for the ask!

TAGGED BY: I stoled it from @hatehailed cuz I’m hiding on my comp and need something to do lmao TAGGING: Idk y’all snag it if ya want :3

Under a cut cuz it’s long lol - also all default verse stuffs

1. WHAT IS YOUR NAME? "Suigin Ryū.

2. WHAT IS YOUR REAL NAME? “...but...that is my real name...? At least, to my knowledge. Granted, it’s my mother’s surname, but...I don’t know my father’s. And they were never married, anyway.”

3. DO YOU KNOW WHY YOU’RE CALLED THAT? “Well, my clan took our valley’s sage’s name after Eiko-sama abandoned her husband’s. As for my given name...I’m not sure. It’s almost a little silly to be called dragon in a clan that learns from one. Perhaps kāchan thought it would be...fitting.”

4. ARE YOU SINGLE OR TAKEN? “...I suppose it depends on who you ask?” (aka verse dependent lol)

5. WHAT ARE YOUR POWERS AND ABILITIES? “Well...primarily, I work with medical ninjutsu. I’ve trained since I was about six. Then when I was eighteen, I returned to my home valley, and learned from my line’s sage for...three years? About? Which focused mostly on nature chakra and a sage state, as well as how to channel it for more efficient healing, and defensive barriers! I also learned some defensive taijutsu - how to redirect your opponents momentum with hardly any energy of your own. Though...in theory, I could use what I know offensively. I just...choose not to.”

6. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES? "They’re grey, like all of my line.”

7. HAVE YOU EVER DYED YOUR HAIR? "No, I haven’t...though I suppose having white hair means it would be rather easy, wouldn’t it? Perhaps I’ll give it a try sometime!”

8. DO YOU HAVE ANY FAMILY MEMBERS? “...none that are living, to my knowledge. I have no idea who my father is...or was. And my mother died when I was four. As far as I know, there was no one else.”

9. DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS? “Well, not a pet per se, but I have my summon, Fubuki. She came back with me to Konoha from Kōri no Mori. She’s my best friend!”

10. TELL ME ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DON’T LIKE. “...I don’t like how our world works. I don’t like the violence, the borders, the subterfuge and the lies. I suppose that’s obvious, given my role as a medic. I just...wish my work wasn’t so necessary...you know?”

11. DO YOU HAVE ANY HOBBIES OR ACTIVITIES YOU DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME? “...sort of? I don’t have a lot of spare time between my work, and continued study. But...I suppose when I do, I like to go for walks, or...bake things. Sometimes I even ruin paper trying to write poetry, haha...”

12. HAVE YOU EVER HURT ANYONE BEFORE? "Well I’ve certainly never tried...but...perhaps I have. I suppose it’s more than possible, despite my intentions. I’ve rarely seen combat, and even then I try to disarm and disable as carefully as possible.”

13. HAVE YOU EVER… KILLED ANYONE? "No! I...I could never...”

14. WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU? "...I could take the easy answer and say dragon, haha. But...I don’t know if that’s entirely accurate. I’m...really not sure. So much about me is very human. Of course animals care for one another, but...I think only humans pity.”

15. NAME YOUR WORST HABITS. "...I cling to people too much. I’m afraid to lose them, but...I worry I then push them away, instead. I also tend to worry too much. I...obsess over my work...about being useful...”

16. DO YOU LOOK UP TO ANYONE? “Of course! I’ve always admired Tsunade-sama, for...rather obvious reasons. And...my mother. My teacher. And even a few shinobi of note, like Minato-sama, Kakashi-senpai, Jiraiya-sama...ones who have done so much good for the village.”

17. GAY, STRAIGHT, OR BISEXUAL? "...technically demisexual. Your list is a bit limited. And panromantic - it’s the who that matters to me, not the what.”

18. DO YOU GO TO SCHOOL? "...I...sort of did? Not...properly like shinobi do, to the Academy. I learned in the hospital. It became my home for a while - my home, my...sanctuary.”

19. DO YOU EVER WANT TO MARRY AND HAVE KIDS SOMEDAY? "...I-I...suppose? Maybe? But I doubt I ever will. I’m already married to my work, haha...”

20. DO YOU HAVE ANY FANS? "I very much doubt it. Shinobi get fans, but...not medics.”

21. WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF? “...failure. In my line of work, it costs lives...livelihood...happiness.”

22. WHAT DO YOU USUALLY WEAR? “...it depends? On missions, I tend to wear my coat and sleeves I made. It’s also spare medical material. Otherwise I tend to prefer skirts and blouses, or dresses if I’m not on-call. I like more...open and flowing clothes, most of the time.”

23. DO YOU LOVE SOMEONE? "...m..maybe?”

24. WHAT CLASS ARE YOU? "...um...middle, perhaps? I’m certainly not rich by any means. I make a decent living as upper hospital staff. And...I guess I technically have two homes, but one was inherited. And the other is rather small.”

25. HOW MANY FRIENDS DO YOU HAVE? "...not very many, admittedly. At least...not close ones.”

26. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON PIE? "It’s...okay? I’m more of a cake person.”

27. FAVORITE DRINK? “Black tea with peach!”

29. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE? "Oh, home for sure. There’s nothing quite like it...I can’t feel safer or more...right than at home. Even in Konoha.”

30. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN SOMEONE? “...um...m-maybe?”

31. WHAT’S YOUR DICK SIZE? "Afraid I don’t have one of those.”

32. WOULD YOU RATHER SWIM IN THE LAKE OR THE OCEAN? "A lake. The ocean is...intimidating. And the salt water is just...eugh. Technically I like rivers best, like at home.”

33. WHAT’S YOUR ‘TYPE’? "...I, ah...I’m not sure?” Uchiho lmao

34. ANY FETISHES? "N...not that I’ve really...ah...discovered.”

35. TOP OR BOTTOM? DOMINANT OR SUBMISSIVE? "...mostly submissive, in all honesty. I’m not really the dominant type.”

36. CAMPING, OR INDOORS? "...indoors, I suppose. But camping is fine.”

37. ARE YOU WAITING FOR THIS INTERVIEW TO BE OVER? "...oh, are we done? Well, I guess so...?”
