#here's a kank for you!!

[mrmllde]

Hi there! 👋 It's good to see other people who like best goth puppet boy Kankuro 🖤. And you said requests are open for him, so if you don't mind drawing the boy holding a tiny kitty. Like, I'd like to see Kank with a cute cat. Your art is super awesome by the way, and thank you 😊!

Heya!

Thank you so much, and yeah, it's good to see fellow Kankulover! (Tbh i can't believe i've slept on him for so long since first watching Naruto. I've been young and didn't know what's good for me. I'm better now)

And here is your request!

(also can i mention that i've spent almost all night reading your posts about Kankuro? bc i have. And i have no regrets)

[artzychic27]

Betrothed is my fave TT episode can you do some incorrect quotes with the DC kids Marcthanial? I’m interested to see how that unfolds.

Nathaniel: You're getting married?!

Marc: Indeed, and I cannot wait to return to Tamaran. I have been having a bit of the sick-home feeling lately, and am eager to introduce my home planet to you, my friends. First you must ingest some fresh-squeezed glorg, or perhaps sput-flinks! And wait until you see the portkins. They are as big as a flarnop!

Lacey: Um, am I the only one afraid of the big portkins?

Nathaniel: You're getting married?!

Aurore: Yeah, anyone we know?

Marc: I have never met him. My betrothed has been chosen for me by the Grand Ruler of Tamaran.

*Marc looks up to the spaceship´s window and sees Nathaniel on it*

Nathaniel: You're getting MARRIED? And to SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER MET? *He notices that he's out of the ship in Outer space and quickly swims back into the ship to regain oxygen*

-

Zoé: *Watching Marc, now hunched over on the table and stuffing his face* I'm guessing you picked up your table manners on Earth?

-

Marc: I have missed you, Galfore.

Galfore: And I have missed you ... Prince Marc.

Villain/Hero Class: PRINCE?!?!?!!

Marc: *sheepishly* Oh, yes, I am...second in line for the throne. Perhaps I forgot to mention?

-

Galfore: Nooba gulshtik Myzan'r sol! *He pounds a fist against his chest*

Marc: Hesbad rutha Galfore kank!

*Close-up of the giant; he snarls and pulls back from him, raising both meaty arms and bringing them down. He screams*

Zoé: Stop him!

*Zoé whips out a handful of discs, Ismael primes his laser eyes, Reshma's pincers snap menacingly, and Denise whips out the lasso of truth. Before anyone can move, though, Marc's scream gives way to laughter. Galfore has seized Marc and is chuckling as he tickles him*

Cosette: Um, unless they tickle people to death here, I think you can chill.

-

Marc: Mavi?

Mavi: Surprised to see me, little brother?

Marc: *Glares* I am...surprised to see you out of prison!

Mavi: Oh, that. Well, after you had me thrown in jail, I got bored. So I broke out and took over Tamaran for kicks. But enough about me. I'm sure you're eager to see who you'll be spending the rest of your life with.

*A young man, bare-chested, very well built stands with a mane of hair blowing in the wind*

Marc: *Hearts in his eyes; drooling*

Nathaniel: *Crying in Denise's arms*

*The young man steps to the side to make way for something that drops in from above. It is very large, contained in a metal bowl that floats just above the floor, and made entirely of writhing green appendages that look something like slimy elephant trunks. It expels huge globs of slime that splatter against the floor. The creature lays an arm/tentacle on Marc, whose jaw drops as he gags*

Mavi: Marc, meet your groom...Glgrdsklechhh!

Cosette: Uh... Congratulations?

-

Kim: I can't tell what's a bed, what's a chair, and what's alive! How am I supposed to take my beauty nap?

Nathaniel: How can you even think about sleep?! We can't let Marc go through with this!

Nino: Come on, man. You sure you're not just, you know...jealous?

Nathaniel: Of that ugly, smelly whatever-it-is? You saw his face, Nino. He doesn't even like him!

-

Mavi: Can any among us offer reason why these two lovebirds should not be together...forever?... Didn't think so. Then...do you, Glgrdsklechhh, take Marc to be your husband, as decreed by the Grand Ruler of Tamaran?

*He makes some gross-ass sound. Mavi takes it as a yes*

Mavi: And do you, Marc, take Glgrdsklechhh to be your husband?

Marc: *Gags* I...I...

Mavi: Yes, brother dear?

Nathaniel: MARC!

*Suddenly, the doors burst open, revealing the Hero and Villain classes on the other side with their powers and weapons at the ready. Now the spectators turn to watch, murmuring amongst themselves at the disturbance, and guards move up to protect Mavi and the couple*

Mavi: Silence! SILENCE! Do you wish to do what is right and take this thing to be your husband?!

Marc: I do ...not!

-

*Marc takes a blast in the solar plexus that propels him most of the way to the far door*

Marc: I thought we agreed you would do what is best for Tamaran, little brother! You will marry the Schlurch!

-

Kim: Let's hurry! I couldn't figure out how to use the bathrooms here!

Max: We are not having any accidents in the Ship! You get me?

Nathaniel: *To Marc* ... I'm glad you'll be staying with us for a long time and...not getting married.

Marc: Yes. The next time, I shall choose my own husband. Who is to know? Perhaps there is a groom for me on Earth.

I got this amazing book for Christmas from @thisallegra called Animal Land Where There Are No People (you can buy it here). It was published in 1897 in Scotland, and, essentially, the mother of a four year old drew all of these creatures that her daughter dreamt up. She included her descriptions of them, and then drew them based on how her daughter said they should look. It is priceless. These are some of my favorites. The descriptions, in order:

The Booba: This is a funny little animal. It makes no noise and runs.

The Ginniwits: This beast is larger than any table and is always there.

The Kank: This animal lives in a forest, eats hay, comes every morning up to the front door. It's a kind little animal. It can do everything and that's all.

The Joox: This animal's name is Joox because it is not a bear. It growls and eats cabbages and beans.

The Weedle: This animal has such dainty little ways of pulling up potatoes.

The Burkan: A nasty biting thing. There's none more about it.

The Jumma: This animal likes chocolate and rabbits. It is a little bit blingey.

The Melly: This creature is so surprised and eats toffee.

(And, no, "blingey" is not a word, and I suspect it's pronounced [ˈblɪn.dʒi], rhyming with dingy, as in dingy and dark.)

This is a small sampling. This book is an absolute treasure, and reconfirms my belief that four year olds are brilliant.

Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani - An honest review

I watched Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahaani because everyone I know on social media and few close folks in my real life said it was very entertaining - funny, progressive, feminist , and it showed gender equality.

So I was taken aback, because the general sentiment for KJo movies should be ‘It’s so shit, but I love it’ - that is a sentiment I can live with because we all have our guilty pleasures.

KJo has his audience who love the shit he pulls off every time he ‘directs’ a film with toxic masculinity, regressive female leads , justifying infidelity (always the answer to unhappy marriages) , glorifying Indian culture, where he adds 30 mins of melodrama and lectures to make the characters redeem themselves. Kjo’s movies are as lame as they can be, but people love them. I get it - ‘this shit is so bad, it’s so good’ category of films. Guilty pleasures are exactly this!

So sell me his new offering in exactly this manner - but all reviews and social media comments were glowing words of praise of how he has addressed today’s issues and it’s a progressive film. Are people suffering from amnesia or have they not watched better Bollywood films? Because I have a whole list of films you should watch that actually deal with ‘progressive’ mindsets - way before Kjo’s time!

Rani is a feminist. A FL as feisty news anchor who gives a 5 min lecture on men’s gaze, objectification of women and rape culture, but does an absolute U-turn 5 mins later by objectifying a handsome man in front of her. This is gender equality. Tit for Tat.

Wearing open back blouses to work is sign of new age feminism (Will I get trolled for sounding old school - has KJo ever stepped inside a corporate workspace - who dresses like Rani does?) What’s next? Women CEOs wearing bikinis? And why not get all men to dress like Rocky Randhawa - that would be peak gender equality in dress code at workplace.

Infidelity is the answer to all unhappy marriages. Remember KANK? Yes, let’s repeat that here, but let’s twist it into unrequited love between the senior citizens. Then add memory loss and illness excuse to get the 80yr old grandpa smooch his 75yr old ex-lover in front of his wife and entire family. The issue is not old age love, age is never a restriction to fall in love, the issue here is infidelity. But if this isn’t cringe enough, let’s completely destroy the most beautiful romantic number in Bollywood by playing it in the background to immortalise infidelity and later lust under the garb of love.

Let’s get back to our feminism torch bearer Rani, who has now jumped from knowing the guy for two meetings to lusting over him. She is honest with herself (not with Rocky mind you, because at no point have they had any conversation about themselves) that she is in it purely for the physical attraction, it’s just a fling for her. She is an elitist , feminist, Colombian grad, Bengali Girl (who has a terrible Bengali accent) and the crude, can’t speak English well, Gucci/Fendi wearing, Ferrari driving, protein shake drinking, loud Punjabi boy doesn’t match up to her standards. Kjo’s new level of feminism - make women pull the exact shit on men that men have put women through for decades. Tit for Tat! Gender Equality.

Btw at this point I still don’t know why Rocky loves Rani - love at first sight is always about the looks and physical attraction, so convince me why he loves her - because isn’t he this walking-talking green flag just by being understanding of his grandpa’s feelings and calling out Rani checking him out. A walking green flag who gets his grandpa’s ex-lover and his grandpa together to help his grandpa get better - because love is the cure for all illnesses. All doctors and medical researchers have been wasting their time on getting degrees and super specialisations - please enter Kjo’s school of love.

So now Rani realises she is in love - when and why and what changed her feelings from lust to love - I do not know. She drives on a 4-lane highway in the opposite direction - woman should have died there for her reckless driving, but she lives to propose to Rocky on a f&*king Highway! Bollywood I love you for pulling off this shit.

This is supposed to be the pivotal point in their relationship where she professes her love to him, going down on one knee (because hey you see role reversal - she is the feminist, the alpha female) and telling Rocky everything that HE IS NOT , listing her resume and her exes’. Therefore implying he doesn’t deserve her, but she is taking the high road and still falling for him. All the reasons she lists that she loves about him are actually about his physical aspects = Lust. She doesn’t list one meaningful quality that she actually ‘loves’ about him.

It is at this point that I gave up on the film, because after this RRKPK became a collation of scenes dedicated to social media trending topics:

1. Women burdened with household work

2. Women not liberated enough to pursue their dreams

3. Women being fat shamed

4. Cancel culture

5. Men being shamed for pursuing classical dancing (KJo research FFS - 50% of India’s top kathak dancers are males right from 1940s! )

Each topic got 1-2 scenes, tweets converted to preachy dialogues uttered by our ‘feminist’ queen and zero closures or character growth.

The only thing that works in this movie - is Ranveer , not his character, but him! He is effortless in this role, his comic timing is superb, needs some work on emotions.

Alia is a shadow of her awesome self on screen post her marriage to Ranbir. It hurts to say this, cause I have loved her in all her movies except SOTY.

Can people age gracefully, I couldn’t bear to look at Shabana Azmi and Jaya B - former was gorgeous as hell in her younger days, now is swollen with all the Botox fillers! Jaya has forgotten to act completely. Dharmendra should not even be acting anymore.

What was the point of rest of the cast? Only Alia’s dad was a decent act.

The one thing I absolutely love in KJo movies is the music and songs! These were crap too. What Jhumka? Because ruining all the songs from ‘The Golden’ decade of Bollywood was not enough, so they made a terrible mashup of Badtameez Dil & Jhumka Gira Re and killed both the songs in one go! Takes some skill doing this - well done!

Why this long rant if I disliked the movie so much, that too KJo movies? I wouldn’t have written one, if the reviews and comments were honest about the movie being average, typical entertainment; but the moment people praised it to nth level of being socially relevant with feminist heroine and gender equality - they deserved to be called out for their shallow thought process thinking that KJo actually cares about any of this stuff.

Worst people think this is ‘quintessential’ Bollywood. Please watch better films - like Amitabh’s roaring 70s, the romance films of 90s, the fun comedies, the glorious slice of life films from Hrishida, the Yash Chopra multistarrers - that’s quintessential, genuine, charm of Bollywood.

Lastly before I wrap this up - RRKPK when literally translated is Love Story of Rocky and Rani. I spent 2.5 hours on this shit show and I still don’t know the answer to why and how they fell in love! They didn’t have one decent conversation about themselves! The latter half is about them wooing their families. The film should have been aptly titled ‘Randhawa and Chatterjee Ki Prem Kahaani’ - It’s all about loving your family - K3G Part 2!

KPZ KPZZZZZ HOW COULD YOUUUU

HOW COULD YOU MAKE MY HUSBAND LOOK SO GOOD (kankurō, I mean.) IM OVER HERE JUST SCROLLING AND THEN THIS GODDAMN ANGEL OF A MAN COMES ON AND ITS JUST

Dhfbidbf9ebkwblandkbfir

If people are questioning if I draw Kanks when his name is in my username, I have to remind them he still tops ✨

Also your inner self is valid. Kankuro is a hot desert angel and more people should say it

[filmjacket]

hello! my name is johnny (although moots call me dale) and this is my ask blog!

i draw on this blog too along with asks and requests. so most of my replies are gonna have doodles with them!

this blog does contain oc x canon, so if that’s not your thing, then don’t follow!

i don’t have many rules, but do check out my main blog ( @peacesmith ) for my dni and more about me.

here’s my OC carrd, i’m gonna add more on there soon so some OC’s aren’t on there. and here’s my ship carrd for more background on some of them, i’ll be adding more there too!

hope to see you soon!

all art above is mine! ocs on first header is holy (belongs to @bweoo) and dalton. the one below is kanke with reigen as ponies.

[punk-pandame]

for the kank hc's anon

first i love you, second i love you, and third here's some hc's"

Canonverse

used to put on little puppet shows for baby gaara <3 started with just sock puppets and a cardboard box, but as kank got better at building and started practicing to be a puppet master shinobi, he graduated to marionettes and a little wooden performance stand.

temari claimed to hate said puppet shows but every once in a while she'd give him some spare doll clothes for the puppets that she "didn't want" for her own dolls, and he caught her watching with a smile a few too many times to keep believeing her heehee <3

middle child syndrome to the max. he has a super strong older sister and an even stronger younger brother, both of whom im assuming rasa favored. his father may not have put hits out on him "more times than he can count" (6) but he sure as fuck felt neglected!

i think he never had a canon love interest not because they didn't care enough about him to give him one, but because he doesn't need or want a partner. kankurou is cool taking his time and enjoying life on his own and if he meets someone, cool! but if not its no skin off his back, he's just out here doin what he do anyway

while i love world building and think it would be so cool if they had some sort of significance, i honestly think it'd be hilarious if his face paint designs didn't mean a damn thing. he just thinks they're cool and when he finds a pattern he likes he'll stick with it for as long as he likes it

that being said, he sometimes forgets he can just? switch it up? whenever? like he'll be painting the same shit on his face for three years, thinking to himself how much he hates this design now and wishes he could do another one, and mid-paint job realizes he can just. do that. so he scrubs it off and starts over. usually becomes an all-day affair of testing different styles until he finds one he likes enough to wear for the next few years lmfao

temari and gaara are his official face paint reviewers but he doesn't actually listen to a damn thing they say. he does not want criticism he wants emotional support pls and thnx. and it is 100% mandatory. cancel your appointments, kank is having a Crisis.

when he was younger he changed looks more frequently, and would sorta treat it as a a new-year-new-me type thing. inevitably would go too hard on trying to change his whole personality along with the new look and go back to normal in a week or two, but GOD that week or two was so trying for literally everyone around him asllahdjkgha

Modern AU

obviously he's a furry. loves the "yknow like nya?" meme and still does it, without a single care in the world for who may or may not be embarrassed of it

honestly subscribes to the "i am crazy/cringe but i am free" lifestyle he'll just do and say whatever tf XD

that being said, he really doesn't do anything that crazy. like the craziest thing about him is probably being a theatre kid. he likes performing just fine, but his real passion is in the set-building.

autism be damned, my boy sure can work a nail gun

goes SO HARD for halloween you have NO fucking idea. he's building himself a gundam suit as we speak

gamer boy! loves video games and has a sleek PC set-up. started his twitch channel for gaming but his viewers were actually way more interested in all his supplies in the back and now most of his streams are just him building stuff and talking to chat, but he'll bring back the games when he gets hyperfixated on one or a new game comes out.

special interest in animatronics. he loves them so much and will ramble for HOURS if you let him (please let him please god please let him he wants to talk about them SO bad)

[mossolantern]

i love how you draw kankri with all of my heart

#1 mossolantern supporter right here!!!!!!!

glad you like the art!

have a kank

Summary: The wait is over folks! Time for WHAT PUMPKIN to roll out the latest update of our HOMESTUCK UNITS line. We’ve finessed our asses and our labors so much, managed to rope in a certain ecto biologist along with Emma and my awesome brains in our writing efforts, and we’re ready to unleash the first of the DANCESTOR/BEFORUS TROLLS line!

Starting with someone who’s a little controversial, who’s always got an opinion to say, and there’s no silencing this windbag, let’s give it up for KANKRI VANTAS, the SEER OF BLOOD and affectionately, or not, known as the INSUFFERABLE. He’s called this for a reason folks, but despite his ceaseless chattering, trigger warnings, and sort of asshole nature, Kankri has the potential to become a great friend and has his softer moments. Though don’t expect him to be cozying up to you anytime soon. Anyway, this here manual is here to help you get your friendship on and explain the challenges and pitfalls to having Kanks in your household in return for the bonuses.

Finally gotten around to posting the next part of my series!

[dragonfruitsoup]

temari, who gives so much of her life to her family, to her village. the girl's been aging at an exponential rate since she was 6 (as most nin do, but shhh). temari, battle-worn and bruised and as resilient and proud as ever, being shoved into the kazekage's office. kankuro, (alive. alive.), leaning against the closed door and gaara, (alive. alive.), propped up in his fancy little chair at his fancy little desk with his fancy little hat hanging off the hook behind him. a formal little slip of paper, an ultimatum.

the 'we don't care if you go spend it with your boyfriend. ('my what!!?') or go find a beach house along the coast somewhere. but you're not stepping a single toe in this village for the next year.'

they give her a week to pack, and the second swiftest messenger bird suna has, and the reminder that all the major villages have been informed that any expense of hers is to be billed to suna. (amazing what a united front can do...)

temari, stepping out of her home for the first time without her brothers or backup or a mission. she has her fan, of course. she has her headband, of course. she has her tiny gourd of sand from the youngest and a little wooden weasle cause kankuro is, in fact, a massive dork. she has a new scarf from baki and sandals from ebizo and a very pretty set of kunai from her team, just in case.

temari, who looks east, toward konoha, a familiar trip at this point, but catches a caravan moving south. sits along the shoreline for three months, horrified at so much water. learns to swim through a riptide the hard way. aides the fishermen pulling in nets and fixing their sails and teaching the young ones to navigate by star because some things are constant.

packs herself up and heads north when the weather gets cool. passes through the land of rain and earth to get to the land of iron. learns how to pack snow to insulate and how to make the thickest stews. spends two months picking up swords and getting a crash course in smithing.

she writes letters every three days. keeps them bundled together until the hawk swoops back with its latest delivery. the ache of being without her brothers has shifted, no longer a gaping wound. still hurts, of course. she still turns to ask kank something or point out a plant to gaara, but it happens less frequent. her letters look less and less cohesive and more like notes stitched together as the months wear on. (she keeps a letter tucked between the folds of her shirt, just below her left shoulder. the one where the ink is smudged and splattered, where you can tell the boys were fighting for the pen before the other could fill up the space. curls her hand over it while whispering prayers to the stars. she will die before she admits this to anyone.)

she writes occasionally to baki and ebizo and her team. she starts writing to shikamaru when kank starts ragging on her ('your sad, pathetic boyfriend came looking for you and moped around the village for a week before going home with his tail between his legs. it was hilarious. i definitely took a photo for you. can't believe you dumped him already. what, find someone cuter in your travels? -k' 'shikamaru asked about you while he was here. he was here for standard meetings, don't listen to kank. be safe. -g' she does, in fact, keep the picture kank sent in with the rest of her letters. it's shikamaru, leaning against a railing, head tilted back, smoke curling from his mouth. he's backlit by lantern and she has to press a hand against her chest to quell the stuttering of her heart.)

she stumbles through the gates of konoha two weeks before fall truly hits, the leaves on the cusp of change. her pack's frayed, busting at the seam in one spot. she's come up from the coast, mouth blistered from fruit that apparently she's mildly allergic to, who knew. her hair is long, longer still, summer sun bleached and braided over and twisted up to keep off her neck. probably the longest it's ever been in her life. (she's four seconds from chopping it off herself. holds out solely to take a picture for kank, because she knows he'll want one). seeks out chouji first, her favorite and she makes that no secret.

she shares a whole notebook with ino over plants she's seen. talks weapons with tenten and parts with a small dagger she helped temper. gets drunk and shit-talks with kiba & naru.

she spends a whole day cleaning and talking to the stones of asuma and shikaku. the private ones, tucked into the nara land. she made her rounds to the public graves earlier when she arrived, paid her respects to those that served in the war. but these. these she spends the extra time to honor.

meets the downright horrifying deer the nara are so proud of. learns how to tend the woods and the deer alike. temari decides, that while she understands what an absolute honor this is, she would be okay with never stepping foot in there again, thanks. the deer know things. they see things. (she'd never tell shikamaru, but staring into their eyes is not unlike being on the business end of shukaku's gaze.)

it snows the day she leaves. soft and slow and glittering while she presses a kiss just below the corner of shikamaru's eye outside the gate. her bag's been replaced and her sandals repaired and she's eager to get home to her brothers.

and the homecoming is spectacular. the sun, already hazy and stuttered as it breaks the horizon, lights up the walls. turns them into a crown of brass and copper and gold for half a moment. a blink-and-you'll-miss-it. catches all the little specks of rock and sand that refract from the edges. and oh, oh. she'd been taking her time, meandering her way back on an unfamiliar route. but her heart stops in time with that blink and oh.

she doesn't know when she started running, but the ground rises up to meet her.

the unforgiving earth slides and shifts and throws her towards the silhouettes, parasols in bright red and purple like halos, perfect circles behind them that burn with the sunrise.

the sand in the gourd at her waist hums. like it knows. like it's trying to reach its own brethren, matching grains in matching gourds.

the backpack gets dropped and so do the parasols and the impact makes her teeth clack and gaara wheeze and kankuro, the ass, just topples them back, letting the sand plume up around them as they bump their heads.

[shikadainara]

I'm sorry, but I voted for Kank in that poll thing. He deserves it. Temari and Gaara will definitely make it in, even if they don't get all that many votes, cause they're popular. You can't tell me it wouldn't be heartbreaking if they made it in without Kank. So yeah, Kanks the one who'll be getting my vote every day for as long as that poll is open.

THAT"S OKAY I FORGIVE YOU i mean the cutoffs are top 99 to be listed on like the ... results i guess? which is going to be literally every single relatively important character out of the 400+ options there's so many Literally Who's SO LIKE... then there's the top 20 cutoff for the illustration which is. you can kindaaa tell who the majority of the list is going to be...

here's the combined results for all of the first six polls and like. okay it's not the most reliable metric since 1) it's only the japanese audience and character popularity does slightly vary between regions and 2) it's over the course of the entire publication of the series because of course character popularity wildly varies over time especially considering when newer characters were introduced later. (... i don't understand how the fuck hayate got that many votes to begin with he's certainly not placing this time lmao. and i like shino he's very neat but ??? huh)

... then there's the number one slot for the new story and. okay let's be honest it's between naruto sasuke and kakashi. MAAAYBE iruka ? but he's definitely way more popular in japan for some reason idk

BUT ANYWAYS point being. you are so right we DO need kank stans in this world who will stand up for the terrible middle child (AFFECTIONATE) I SUPPORT YOU!!! FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS!!!!!

Desert Flower Part 31

The 5th Hokage,

Yuri opened her eyes to see that Yukina was still asleep in her bed. Then Yuri noticed something sitting on the end of her bed. It was a small white box wrapped in a red ribbon. She wondered what it was and opened it and to her surprise it was a brand new red scarf.

"I wonder who gave it to me?" She murmured to herself and got up and got dressed and put on her new scarf. She woke Yukina up. Yukina groaned, sitting up.

"Hey, let's go and get some breakfast." Yuri told her. Yukina smiled and nodded, hungry as well. The two stepped out of the room, heading towards the kitchen. They saw Temari cooking some breakfast. Kankuro was sitting down waiting and noticed the two of them.

"About time you two got up."

Temari walked over with some eggs and toast and set the plates down on the table. It was a little burnt up on the edges.

"Dig in!" Temari smiled. Yuri and Yukina ate a couple bites while Kankuro had a look of disgust on his face as he tried keep the food down.

"It's not that bad." Yuri spoke.

"You never had Temari's cooking." Kankuro replied.

"What was that?" Temari glared at him. Kankuro stiffened.

"Nothing." 

Then Temari noticed the new scarf that Yuri was wearing.

"I don't recall you wearing that one."

"That's actually what I wanted to ask you guys about. When I woke up there was a present on my bed. Did anyone of you give it to me?" Yuri asked them.

"Not me." Kankuro replied.

"I didn't, but I have a feeling I know who it was." Temari said. If it wasn't Kankuro and it wasn't Temari then it must have been...

"Morning." Yuri eyes widened when she heard Gaara come in and sat down and quietly began to eat. Yuri smiled.

"I assume the present came from you, Gaara?" she asked him. 

"Yes." Gaara quietly spoke.

"Thank you. But why? You didn't have to do that." Yuri asked him.

"You were upset when your old one got torn. So, I got you a new one." Gaara spoke.

"Thank you. That was very sweet." Yuri smiled, thanking him again. Gaara felt something strange in his chest. It felt warmer as heart started to beat faster and his cheeks felt hot as well. Yuri stood up.

"I'm going to go train for a bit."

"You're training on vacation?" Kankuro asked.

"I still got to get stronger. I can't fall behind Naruto otherwise I'll never hear the end of it from him. I'll be out in the desert if anyone needs me." Yuri spoke and she left.

A few hours had gone by, and Yuri still hadn't come back yet. Gaara, Temari, Kankuro and Yukina headed out to the desert to look for her. They spotted an oasis out the middle of the desert. As they approached, they saw Yuri standing on the water and manipulating the water with her movements.

"How's training coming along?" Kankuro called out, startling Yuri. The water whipped back, smacking right into her forehead, leaving a small red mark. She hissed feeling the sting and rubbed her forehead.

"Why are you here?" She asked them, while narrowing her eyes at Kankuro.

"You've been out here for a while. We decided to check up on you." Temari told her.

"What was that thing you did?" Kankuro asked her.

"What? Water bending?" Yuri showed them, pulling the water out. "It's a little jutsu my dad showed me. I use my chakra to move it, kind of like with your puppet strings. Although, I think Gaara already knows this ability that I can do."

"How did you know that, Gaara?" Kankuro asked him.

"It's not important." Gaara spoke.

"He spied on me when I was training during the third act of the Chunin exams." Yuri told them, smirking a little. Gaara stayed silent, looking away from her. Temari and Kankuro both blinked.

"It also looks similar to Gaara's sand when he uses his chakra to move it." Temari pointed out. 

"Do you guys want to help me train? Maybe throw some stuff at me and I'll try to block it with my water." Yuri told them. Temari smirked pulling out a few kunais.

"Fine by me." And she threw them at Yuri. Yuri quickly moved the water to her center and smacked the weapons away, deflecting them. Kankuro used his puppet and stretched it out, trying to capture Yuri inside of it. Yuri backed away, moving out of the puppet's reach and stretched her arm out. The water darted forward, heading towards Temari and Kankuro like a whip, grabbing the two by their ankles and pulled them in. The two fell in with a splash. Yukina tried to whistle, blowing some invisible weapons at Yuri. A few sliced through the water and Yuri quickly leaned back as she dodged the weapons when they sailed over her and slammed into the trees. Yuri quickly moved heading towards Yukina, jumping and dodging out of the way from more flying projectiles. Yuri moved the water and making a small wave and sent it over towards Yukina. Gaara quickly moved out of the way when the wave came closer. It carried Temari and Kankuro along with it and slammed right into Yukina, knocking her back.

"Looks like it's just you and me, Gaara." Yuri smiled. Gaara said nothing and moved his sand and shot out some sand bullets at her. Yuri dodged out of the way, and some exploded in the water behind her. Yuri used the water to dart towards Gaara, trying to catch him. Gaara quickly moved out the way and lashed out some sand, sending it towards Yuri. Yuri backed away but felt something hard against her back and saw a pillar of sand behind her. The sand slammed into her, covering her body and arms and legs, pinning her to the pillar. Yuri struggled trying to break free of the sand but it wouldn't budge.

"Okay, you win." She pouted. Gaara released the sand of her, and Yuri stood up, brushing some off.

"Looks like I still have a long way to go if I'm going to be able to catch up to you." She smiled. "But that was a good work out."

"Looks like we're going to need to train as well. You completely wiped the floor with us." Temari spoke.

"I let her win." Kankuro remarked.

"Sure you did." Temari scoffed.

Soon enough the week had gone by in a flash. Yuri and Yukina stood outside the gates of Suna with Temari, Kankuro and Gaara.

"I can't believe it's been a week already." Yuri sighed a little sad. She wanted to stay some more. Gaara stayed silent. He also didn't want her to go as well. It all happened so fast.

"Hey, maybe we can come to the Hidden the Leaf village sometime and hang out." Temari told her.

"That sounds great!" Yuri told her.

"So, I guess this is where we say goodbye." Kankuro said, holding his hand out, rubbing his neck. Yuri didn't shake it. She stepped up and wrapped her arms around him, hugging Kankuro. Kankuro eyes widened a little in shock. He hesitantly hugged her back and awkwardly patted her on the back. Yuri stepped back and moved towards Temari, hugging her while Yukina hugged Kankuro as well, who blushed a little.

Yuri glanced over at Gaara, who was quietly staring at her and she stepped over to him. Gaara tensed up a little when he felt Yuri wrapped her arms around him, hugging him. He slowly hugged her back and the two pulled apart.

"See you later." Yuri spoke, softly.

"Yeah, see you later." Gaara said as well.

The three sand siblings silently watched them leave until they were out of sight. Yuri summoned Sakishima and the two rode back to the Leaf Village. In a day in a half they arrived near the gates of the village. Yuri and Yukina hopped down and Sakishima disappeared. When Yuri looked up her eyes widened when she saw Naruto standing by the gates with an old man with long spiky white hair wearing a red and green kimono and mesh garbs, hand garbs and wooden sandals. Next to them was an older woman, who Yuri thought was beautiful. She had a small purple diamond on the center of her forehead, noticeably large breasts, wearing a green haori with a red kanji sign for gamble on it, over a grey kimono style blouse with no sleeves. Also a blueish grey obi that was the same color with her pants and opened toed black heeled sandals, blond hair with long bangs up in two loose ponytails.

"Hey, Naruto! You're back!" Yuri called out to him. Naruto smiled, waving.

"Hey! Yuri, you're never going to believe what happened! We've found Grandma Tsunade but we ran into Orochimaru and Kabuto was there as well!"

"Orochimaru?" Yuri's eyes widened.

"But it's nothing to worry about! Granny and Pervy Sage took care of him and Kabuto! Tsunade agreed to come back to the village with us and become Hokage!" Naruto grinned. "And I've gotten a little stronger! I learned a new secret jutsu! I can't wait to show it to you!"

"So, I assume you're the girl that this brat has been constantly bickering about?" Tsunade asked.

"Who are you calling a brat, old lady!?" Naruto growled at her.

"I told you not to call me an old lady!" Tsunade growled back at him. Yuri watched in disbelief as the two continued to butt heads with each other. So, this is the village's new Hokage? It's definitely going to be a bit livelier around here.

"hey, you're allowed to move on. it's okay." ka/ntuna smh...he is speaking through his teeth though

@worldneeds ---- answered.

"what the fuck do you want from me?"

rounding on him has always been easy. you're taller, for now, all the lightning-bolt lines of you curled into something vicious. he outgrows you most of the time, when he makes it that far, when you're reduced to something shivering and shaking and he only ever gets bigger. you're all teeth and he's all soft edges, and isn't that precious. weren't you made that way.

"i know what i can and can't do kankri and i don't need you to come and tell me that it's okay! can you just fuck off and leave me alone already it's embarrassing." maybe it would be if it were anyone else. with kankri it just hurts. you don't know why he's still here after he denounced you the way that he did, turned his face in front of everyone and left you heaving in the cold. kurloz had cleaned the blood from your lips that day, held your hair out of your eyes and called you resplendent. you can't force the word past your tongue, but you like that it sounds grand.

you sigh, this big irritated huff of a thing - using one of his plays against him. "look i'm sorry that you're officially bitchless now that you lost me but that doesn't mean that i have to swear off piles for eternity kanks in fact i already have someone who decided it was worthwhile to listen to me so i'm doing great thank you."

[kankuroplease]

Hi Kanks! I've got a question: I have a kinda elaborated Naruto modern AU in the back of my head and I just don't know what to do with it. I'm not a big painter like you are, I'm more of a writer, but the AU doen't really have an intersting Story i could write down (well it does, but that would end up like a huge ass biography or something like that...) how did you get your Tattoo Shop AU so popular? One Problem is, my Blog's Main focus isn't naruto, I do reblog naruto related stuff from time to time but it's not the Main focus. Would you recommend getting a side Blog for the AU? How do I choose an iconic Name for it? How do I gain followers? You're such a great Inspiration for me, I really wish I could draw like that. But i really don't have that much time to practice... i hope you'll answer my question. Wish you a wonderful Day. 💕

Hello!

Honestly, I think the “popularity” of the TSAUis because of who the main characters of AU are, hard work + a bit of dumb luck.

I’d definitely recommend making more post about your au, for starters. I don’t think you need a side blog for one thing exclusively unless you’re planning on posting a bunch of stuff for your au.

When it comes to followers; tags help people filter and find things and how active you are helps too. Engage with your audience and talk about your au with them a lot, even if it’s only to 5 followers.

I’ve seen some writers with hundreds of likes on ficlet post or a two sentence headcon, so art definitely isn’t necessary. However, I’m no expert on how to grow a following as I have another blog that’s mostly my art and still under 75 followers (which I’m cool with, organic growth🌱) 😆

Naming the au? I’m basic for my names of AUs. like the title says what it is, so I’m no help there unfortunately.

I do hope you have fun and success with au! Also hope something here makes sense lol 🖤

The perfection of the scene

Who's gonna play it out for me?

Chosen once but not again

My looks are not good enough for them

Vein n horrible critics be bout it all

They are the ones to point it out

But never reflect on themsekves

I for one can only speak

For me cuz that's the truthy

The extra y in question

U tell me cuz I won't mention

I got a lot to say

Not enough ugly for u though bout me

So keep on searching but don't find

So keep repeating the same line

Get some new Larry new vocab enough to scare me

But im done w bullshit

U can smell n have it

Matches no dot calm

No haters made but maybe you n your mom

So keep killing it at building yourselves up

Bully me don't matter u win

I just give up

I can't do much so hardly cone around

Been trying to figure it all out

No answers to me good enough

Just like I giving me up.

Best or worst thing

I can only reflect on my part of the whole thing

U have yours n I got mine so keep it that was every time

I'll stand up for u maybe unexpectedly

But dont see a lot doing that for me

Cuz it might be behind my back

No knives are still in my spine so im doubting that

Get out you are unwanted here

Mumble fumble bee I'll make u a cabin near but away from me

Imma stank a kank a sore imma be outta here ...i wish but can't find the means or a working car

I'm not one to opposite I'll sit down n let u have it

Stand more though contraindicated

Again I'm sorry to seem filled w hate.

Been thru some random Shit

Digging holes n sand filled ruins can't explain it

Falling worlds n life as I know

N that's absolutely nothing I know so can't ask me to explain it all

Lifes whatever it can go away

Precious to u but I don't feel the same way
