#my art#naruto#comics#yamato#yamato tenzo#maito gai#might guy#kakashi#anko mitarashi#genma shiranui#image desc in alt text#iruka umino kurenai yūhi and asuma sarutobi are all here also but. i dont wanna clutter their character tags#bc theyre only in the bg of a shot#i look at the image of yamato with the flowers and the color pallet reminds me embarassingly of all the like. mother mary sacred heart#iconography that one might find in CCD. visually theres nothing similar like mary doesnt radiate flowers or wear a NINJA MILITARY UNIFORM#but the corner of my eye catches me off guard#anyway#this isnt intended as romantic but it is certainly intimate and i shant fault a soul for ship-tagging it#besides. coupled with my platonic intimacy intentions...this is an undeniably queerly-oriented comic bc of the way it addresses skin hunger#speaking to a lack of experience in touching and handling others with gentle and affectionate hands how soothing it is to just#have a friend lie on you or let u play w/ their hair...#now in the real world w/ non cis or not het folks a lot of this touch starvation is because we internalize ideas about our mere presence#being something poisonous or toxic in some way—a danger or a rudeness that we have to keep people from interacting with#but in this Naruto Situation i suppose it must be less that Yamato was told his being is bad. and more that his being simply isnt#meant for human things like touch and moments of gentleness which serve no utility except for friendship and love...#tho at his age and lifestage in this comic he knows thats untrue. hes still cautious on allowing himself to indulge in it#the only part of my highschool life that made it survivable was this small group of other trans friends (tho not all of us knew we were)#and wed hang out in the corners of hallways on breaks and curl up and lay on each other and play with each others hands and hair and doodle#and share food and laugh and it was just. very simple and small and incredibly important to me#anyway. i wanted to give yamato some of that. so i am giving yamato some of that. mwah mwah
