The Autistic Anime Girls Tournament Bracket!

Here are the matchups. The winners of each group will compete in a three-way finale. Full matchups below the cut! I typed all of this by hand, so if you spot an error PLEASE let me know. My brain was simply Not There after a certain point.

I have the poll visuals for the first half of group one done, I just need to make posts for them. I'll try to finish them up by the end of tonight. I'll be releasing halves a day or two apart, but wait for one group to finish up before releasing matches for the next group. Without further ado...

11. what other platforms have you used to roleplay?

Mun Asks || Accepting

I got my start in the RP-world on Gaia Online. I don't RP there anymore but I do occasionally rp on Discord. Usually via private servers dedicated to it with one or two partners.

I also have Twitter accounts for most of my muses from Tumblr (and some that don't have blogs, like Nene Yashiro from Toilet Bound Hanako-kun, and Kirie from Junji Ito's Uzumaki) but I rarely use them these days. I just don't like the character limit on Twitter and there are way too many accounts that are just there for smut. It's not fun anymore.

[uzumaki-sayuri]

I am happy to announce that I've finished my 'Naruto Daughter Dress Up' Game!! You can play it here on itch.io

------

As always, your supportive comments and feedback mean a lot to me if you have the time :) I hope to create many more dress up games so please let me know if you have any ideas!

Name: East of the Sun, West of the Moon Word Count: 3,025 Chapter: 1/? Pairing: Narusaku, Sasuhinakarin Rating: T Warnings: N/A Summary: Based on the open fanon universe of Shinachiku Kosen, almost 20 years have passed since the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War. Naruto helms Konoha as its Nanadaime Hokage and is happily married to Sakura, Head of Konoha Medical Department, and together they have four children and a very happy family. Yet, not all is as it seems as Orochimaru emerges after going underground after the war, and with them, a threat to the Shinobi Alliance. With Naruto's son, Shinachiku, forging his own path with or without his family's approval, the bonds between allies, friends, and family will be put to the rest.

[wrdn-tabris]

In Gai's default verse, his love interest is Hanako. She's a pure-blood Uzumaki from Takigakure. She met him during a mission when Gai’s team were still Genin. He started dating her somewhere in Shippuden and is married to her in the New Era. Together, they live in Konoha. 

This is a very old commission of theirs done by Sbel@dA.

[uchihashisuii]

something something hanako is also a reincarnation alongside madara

idk I'm horny for indra shut up

-----

Hanako dreams. Tossing, turning, panting in the night; sweat-soaked hair and sheets tangled around her legs, expression shifted to one of pain. Chakra coalescing sharply in her hands, setting nerves alight as it shoots from the tips of her fingers, running like a river until it pools in her chest. Bright, burning heat; it does not harm, does not hurt.

Still she slumbers on, lost to something as painful as long forgotten memories.

Still, she dreams.

-----

She kneels in a room bathed in the glow of sunset, head turned down to see the way her hands are curled against her thighs. She does not tremble, does not fear; though something akin to anxiety whirls uncomfortably in her chest. A man speaks, but she cannot hear; the low timbre of his voice brushing thickly against her, as though she were submerged in water. Perhaps she is; perhaps she is drowning and simply does not know it yet. Holding tight to delirium even as her chest fills with cold.

Another voice, higher and quicker and warmer. The impression of sunlight, the smell of cut grass; how a voice half-heard can be kind she doesn't understand.

A third voice, raised and righteous and angry. The moment he speaks the world is thrust into sharp relief, and all at once Hanako can hear and see and understand. He demands his birthright, flaunts power and status. He is a whirlwind, he is a marvel, and she is his. Utterly, completely, foolishly.

A hand held in front of her, pale and scarred and beautiful. Hanako looks up with a tight throat, unshed tears burning her eyes as she lifts her bowed and stricken head.

His face is a blur and she could weep for that; she must know, needs to know. But doesn't she already? Something calls deep to her bones and though frustration builds still a part of her knows him, has always known him, will know him again. She cannot see him but he can see her and offers his hand and his life. Not equals, not a kindness; but an offer regardless. Something as tender as a bruise.

Hanako's vision wavers and for one blessed moment she can see his eyes; bright and burning and bold. Sharingan blazing, nearly hidden beneath a riot of brown hair. She knows him knows him knows him - there is no name for the cursed man who cradles her heart with blood-drenched hands, slipping away from her like dust. But she knows him; the way feet carry you instinctively down the trail home, comfortable and familiar and yours.

She blinks and he is gone. Screams her rage and sorrow between clenched teeth, curses kept prisoner in her heart. Nails raking against her thighs, tearing herself open that the pain inside may be in some wretched way released.

When she blinks again she is staring at herself, but it is not herself. It is a woman with the same eyes and heart and soul and patience and virtue and despair, but starkly different in her face and body. Hanako had never once witnessed her own expression shifting to such a tragic, weathered smile.

"Despair not," she says, in Hanako's voice but not with Hanako's mouth, hands reaching forward to cradle her cheeks and oh, but again she wishes to weep. Her own hands raise to mirror the others, holding her face as gently as she can. Were she given the opportunity, a selfish part of Hanako wishes to treat herself tenderly.

"Go," her not-reflection says, "he waits for you."

-----

Her eyes open.

She is haunted, harried; Hanako looks to her finely trembling hands, holds them close to her face before burying it in her palms. Fear and confusion blooming thick on her tongue, weighing down her chest. She doesn't understand, but she doesn't not understand either. Something calls out, reaches for her; a long-since-gone connection across lifetimes. It is dizzying; she is nothing, no one. Yet still she is haunted by memories not her own.

She scrubs her hands until they are red and raw, until they cease shaking, until she rids herself of the ghosting touch of a man she had never seen before.

-----

It is not three days later that Uchiha Madara makes her acquaintance, and in one fell swoop her tether snaps. She feels his chakra, recognizes his heart, even tucked away and hidden from any and all as it is. Locked eyes and the world at a standstill, something within her seeing something within him; a memory once precious, very nearly lost to time. Hearts pounding, hearts mirrored. One soul reaching for another and it is both the end and the beginning.

I know him. I knew him. I will know him again.
