besides itachi what other naruto characters do you like?
do you dislike any ones?
Mmm. I like many characters, I'd say, but to varying degrees, and not always do they bring me as much joy in canon as they do in fanon.
I've been into Naruto since I was 12, and my interest in the series has gone up and down over time. Back then, I don't think I gave much of a shit about Itachi at all and instead, my favorite character was Obito. Oh, how the turns have tabled. I also liked Gaara a lot early on, but that period was fairly brief.
Currently, my biggest favorites are Itachi and Sasuke. I'd vote in Shisui as well, but unfortunately, I think many of my opinions are shaped primarily by fanfiction 😭 Which brings me to my next point...
It's a joke at this point, but sometimes the fanfiction - not even by altering a character's characterization but by diving deeper into their existing psychology and expanding upon its human aspects - does a better job at portraying a character, leading the fandom to develop a new commonly accepted lore which is referred to as "fanon". This is how I often end up enjoying characters like Madara, Izuna, and Tobirama as well even though their canon characterization might not speak to me personally (because nothing goes over a tsundere adopting children /hj). Fugaku is on the list as well-ish. He is the one that I got attached to IN SPITE of fanfiction telling me otherwise. My entire issue is that I am no longer certain whether the personality I have in my head for Fugaku is actually canon or just... made-up (he barely has any screen time, why is my interpretation of him so complex?).
There are also a lot of characters that I like a moderate amount. That list includes Kakashi, Tsunade, and Choji. And if we include Boruto characters, I do enjoy Sarada and Mitsuki as well. It simply just isn't enough for me to become very attached to or even just seek out fanfic that portrays them as more complex or more compelling characters. A good fanfic could probably change my perception of them but that's just where I am currently at.
As far as characters I hate go... I do dislike Jiraiya. His "quirks" don't translate well for me personally. That's a me-problem, though, and I understand and support anybody who likes him regardless. I also have beef with Hiruzen, though I have to admit it is mostly a show-vs-tell conflict in which the show pretends he isn't that bad when actually he is and I am not sure whether to prioritize the show or tell version.
Then there are characters I hate and that list includes Danzo and the two elders. Go to super-hell 😊
Regardless of any of this, I do not support harassing anybody over liking or disliking a character (though I don't mind venting). Like and dislike do not necessarily need a justification. They just are and why should we waste our energy on fictional characters of all things? Fandom activism? Too often are favorite ships and characters used to establish group dynamics of fans shitting on other fans.
It's a different story if said people are harassing other fans, publically insulting them, or making shit up. Still not worthy of harassment but definitely deserving of a call-out as, if not regulated, hatred just breeds more hatred and eventual transgressions. I am sure all of us had someone popping up on our blog before only to tell us how stupid we are (not even discussing but just immediately insulting us) for liking something.
#fandom group-dynamics are of course more complex than just haters vs fans#like when to expose a hater's hypocrisy you end up hating on their personal favorite#it doesn't fuck up the conversation rarely though because you slowly start to associate defense of your favorite with hate for others#and then the cycle continues#back to fav characters. obito was such a wonderfully problematic character#in case nobody knew yet i pick my favorites according to who is the most fun to bully#also posting this one ahead of the other asks but this time because there is not research involved#naruto#naruto miscellaneous#naruto ask#ask#anon#anon ask

I'm in fact hoarding edits, did I ever tell you? I have perhaps over 5000 edits that I've saved, maybe more on both insta and tiktok and I don't think it's all that joke-y and funny anymore... Tbh...
#johnny's silly rambles#at three points in my life i tried to sort them#it did work out a little bit#but then i gave up and it's basically me watching the edits I've saved last over and over and over again#until i search for more#and then the cycle continues#i don't think this is normal anymore especially bc I'm partly only watching for like a few seconds#and then i get bored and close the app again#and then i open it again to watch the same thing again#and people keep telling me I'm mentally stable#i really think they should all see my tumblr tbh#anyways i hope you all are having a great night or whatever time it might be#I'm certainly not I'm just confessing randoms things to you#at this point of you're interested in knowing sth abojt me you can go ahead and ask

no matter how this show ends, i just wanna say: i love this fandom and all the friends i’ve made through it, and we’ll survive this finale together even if barely
#idk how long i’ll be in the fandom once the show ends#i mean star wars has always been a main fandom for me#but the way my interactions with fandoms go is i get really involved in one for 1-2 years and then go on to the next fandom#and then the cycle continues#and i don’t think i’ve reached the 6 month mark in this fandom so i think my brain will let me stay here for a bit#tbb#tbb fandom

going through the worst year of my life depressed broke lonely slowly rotting away etc etc
#have not posted a fic in a year now#hahaha#hHAHAAHAHAAHAAHHAHAHAHSHERJT#if u see my google docs. how much is actually in there you’d be surprised#but nothing is finished#and im my biggest critic unhappy with everything#so i’ll just stare at my writing and feel disgusted by it#and then the cycle continues#ive been doing a lot of reading tho#ive read a lot this year . almost been taking over my writing weirdly enough?#instead i just read and read and hope to feel inspired or smth#nothings really inspired me yet#ive handed in my final essays so i have around a month to myself#im gonna see if i can salvage my relationship with writing#it’s in a really weird stage#usually when im depressed i can still write but now i can’t…#when i read i wait for this huge moment where everything suddenly makes sense#i keep chasing that each time i read. but i can’t find it#and i wonder if maybe my writing could do that? but i’ll never know bc i can’t feel connected to my writing as a reader

Me: no I don't have hyper fixations with ADHD. I've never really lost time to hobbies, unless it's reading but that's normal.
*chess enters chat*
*Literally losing sleep over it don't want to do anything else absolutely frothing at the mouth only thing I do all day.*
#i have a love hate relationship with remembering chess exists tbh#i usually fall off it i go stagnate and stop improving#and then a few months later ill come bacl#jump 100 in rank and then promptly forget about it#and then the cycle continues#i cant even get diagnosed with adhd because no one from my childhood years would agree ive had symptoms all my life#because my adhd presents differently than my sister's 🙃

every couple of weeks my subconscious goes "if you don't go to see your family i will torture you with guilty dreams until you pass out from sleep deprivation" and then my heart adds "also if i don't get to pet our kittycat I might DIE" and then I go there and it's like oh right. I have depression
#and tension headaches <3 and deep pressure requirements that only skyrocket when I'm stressed <333#and then I go to see my psychiatrist and she's like so how have you been.#and I say GOOD except for when I visited my family but that is normal#and she goes oh but maybe it isn't normal? we could try upping your dosage#and then the cycle continues#chaos rambles#sorry I'm just. Annoyed#I am an top of my things! Mostly! I don't need to chew on family issues right now! I could just exist instead!!!

guys, guys! I'm super close to actually completing one of your requests!
#look at me getting stuff done like a functional person#...ummm ignore the WIPs spilling out of the closet I crammed them into...I'll get to those later.#I'm back to my old ways of writing several things at the same time flipping back and forth as I get reinspired#and tossing them haphazardly to the side as I loose sight of my goal#then finding them again weeks later like “oh hey I remember you!”#and then the cycle continues#ao3 writer#living with adhd

It’s true that, originally, Cas only rebelled in one universe. But it’s not true anymore.
The second that story was shown to us, countless amounts of Fanfiction, Fanart, and literally just thoughts, created new realities. The love Cas expressed was so powerful and beautiful that it inspired us to bring more universes into being.
Every time a fanfiction is written, Cas rebels again. Every time fanart is drawn, Cas loves again. Every time an idea is thought up, Cas feels again.
And maybe one day, those will outnumber the ones where he obeys, if it doesn’t already.
#and so the cycle continues#more are being created everyday#he is him#I love him#he deserves to be loved#castiel#spn#supernatural#cas loves dean#dean winchester#spn meta#Castiel meta#castiel supernatural#castiel spn#Destiel
