I would never take them down. Thank you by the way.

[jacqthehermit]

OMG AAAHHH sweetheart I found you on tumblr too (I asked once for more comics on DA once sorry about that :'( at the time I did not think much cuz I was way too obsessed with your art style uhuhu). You're just so amazing and I'm gonna be more active in your posts now *wink wink* (Also Tosuke is the love of my life but you already knew that)

It’s okay, I get that a lot actually and I understand you guys. I feel the same way too with other artists specially when they draw my favorite characters or ship haha. I also wanna say sorry for being hiatus for almost a year. But don’t worry! I’mma be back soon since I’m done with my shit (personal art project plus procrastination lol)

Lastly, thank you for the kind words and support. You guys never fail to encourage me despite being inactive and lack of motivation. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ;-; 

P.S. D’aaaaw I already miss drawing litol Tosuke

[jacqthehermit]

Don’t you draw anymore?

I still draw, I just procrastinate a lot lmao. I am currently doing a secret personal art project and my target deadline of it was before August ends but yeah. It’s already September and I’m still not finish yet haha. (And don’t forget that I’m busy with this adulting shit FeelsBadMan)

Well actually not only I procrastinated, my dotes fan self took over during Aug 15-Aug 25 (The International, largest Dota 2 tournament) I got busy supporting my fav team EG. Too bad they didn’t make it to the grand finals tho. But I’m happy somehow because they got 3rd ^^

ALSO! Some personal shit happened which made me sad af that’s why I can’t force myself to draw.

NEVERTHELESSSSSS… I am slowly getting back on track now. Just a little more and I’m finish with my project. After that I’ll be back doing fanarts. I already got a lot of ideas lined up!

Thanks for dropping by! I appreciate the concern.

Why Do I Ship BoruSara

WARNING: Pro-BoruSara, if you are an anti/hater and you still read this then don’t blame me if you get triggered. I already warned you, not my fault. Learn to stay in your lane, mofos.

Agree or disagree, this is my opinion IDGAF

First of all I want to say sorry anon. I know you’ve been like “WTH Jacq! I’ve seen you online and posting some shit why the fuck are you not answering my question!?!” I know okay? I’m sorry.

The reason why I keep on delaying my answer to this is because I cannot decide whether I’m gonna answer this short or if I’m gonna make a detailed blog about it. Finally, after contemplating for days, I decided to just make it short. I think if I make a detailed blog, it will be long as fuck and never ending since I love the ship so much lmao. No one reads my long ass boring af blogs and try hard short stories anyway (which I make to accompany my drawings sometimes) FeelsBadMan

So what made me ship BoruSara in the first place? I think my answer can be found in most of my previous blogs about them and I will say it again here. The reason I started shipping BoruSara is because I wanted a different approach in romance in the story.

The main ships in first gen was basically: Girl finds the boy cool, falls for him and girl saved by the boy, eventually develops deeper feelings for him. I know they were puppy love at first which grew into real love at the end. I mean I ain’t complaining about that especially my first OTP was one of them, SS. It’s just that I want to move on with this kind of romantic development. We’re in the next generation now! Time for something new!!!

That’s why when I first saw Boruto and Sarada in Chapter 700, I fell in love and shipped them right away. The chemistry was so overflowing I just can’t. I know antis and haters are just blind to see that or just in denial lmao. 

“Why Boruto?! You shipped SS in the first gen. Sasuke was the stoic, mysterious, silent, bad boy type. Boruto is the opposite!!! You should’ve ship Sarada with someone else!!! Our princess doesn’t deserve this annoying loud piece of shit” 

Yes I like those type of anime guys but sometimes I also like those loud, aggressive and playful ones. Like when I read shoujo mangas before, sometimes I’m all in for the jerk male lead but there will also be times when I fall for the second male lead who is a nice guy. Same goes for here. Again, we’re in the next gen, time for change mofos!

What I also like about him is that he aint some dumb shit. Boruto is smart, he studies well (thanks to his mother) and he is a prodigy. Yeah he was rebellious at first but after the Momoshiki fight, he stopped being a whiny bitch about his dad which I really appreciate a lot. I mean he was just a kid and his dad rarely goes home what do you fucking expect? He’ll understand right away? Even in real life we all know how kids act rebelliously and go emotional whenever they don’t receive enough attention from their parents so I don’t get why people can’t understand that? I mean are we all living in the same planet or what seriously.

The hate about Boruto being super strong and a prodigy is weird as well. First he is the fucking protagonist whether you or I like it or not. Of course he will be the OP one just like in other shounen anime/manga. Second, Boruto is the fucking son of Naruto and Hinata, nephew of Neji, grand son of Minato and Kushina. WHAT DO YOU FUCKING EXPECT FROM THEIR GENES?! WHY ON EARTH WILL THEY PRODUCE A WEAKLING!?! OF COURSE HE’S GONNA BE FUCKING OP. It’s not like it’s Boruto’s fault that he came from a super strong family. He is born this way smh.

“Why Sarada?! She’s mean to Boruto!!! She doesn’t care about him! She hurts him! She only cares about being hokage! Boruto deserves better than this arrogant bitch!!!”

I don’t really get this “Sarada is mean to Boruto”. As far as I know, she’s always concern about him. Even from the beginning when Boruto was fighting with Iwabe, it was clear that she was worried, Chou Chou even noticed it. Whenever Boruto gets hurt, Sarada is always the one tending his wounds (ex: during their Mist village field trip and during their first mission as team 7 where she pulled the bandages tighter because she knew Boruto was lying that he was not hurt.) 

Sarada always checks on Boruto, not only because she doesn’t want their team to encounter some trouble but because she doesn’t want Boruto to do something reckless (remember when she nominated him as class field trip leader so she can keep an eye on him). If she’s fucking mean to him and doesn’t give a shit about him, I don’t think she will give a damn to do these things. If this is what being mean is to you then I don’t know what kind of comprehension you guys have lmao.

Alright about Sarada’s words and action towards Boruto. Sarada scolds Boruto obviously because we all know that Boruto is hard headed (still we also know that even if she scolds him or whoever it is, he will still go on his way just like his dad lol) And it’s not like she’s insulting him or saying hurtful words. Most of the time they’re just arguing and I don’t think there is something wrong with that. It’s normal to argue specially when your ideas clash with each other.

How about when she hits Boruto? I don’t know but in real life when we play fight or tease with our friends, we tend to punch or slap each other. BUT of course not as hard as shown in anime because bruh of course in anime it will be super exaggerated for the comedy. Same when for example our friend is about to do something stupid or has done something wrong, sometimes we be like “Bruh why you did that!” then we hit them on the head (again not as hard as shown in the anime cuz we irl) Therefore I just think it’s nothing serious.

Don’t start me with “No Sarada is violent with Boruto!!” Again, this is anime, and that “hitting” is just part of the comedy. If you still gonna go with this stupid reason then what about Temari? She hits both of Shikamaru and Shikadai even with her fucking weapon. Does she SERIOUSLY wanted to hurt or kill them? Of course not, why would she do that to his husband and child. This is all just fucking exaggeration to show how pissed the character is. All animes/mangas do this ffs. 

“Pfft! But if BoruSara go canon it’ll be so cliche!”

You wanna know what’s more cliche? The fucking male protagonist of the shounen manga/anime falls for that female character who is

Usually weak at the beginning, then will just grow stronger at the end.

The ideal type for most men: The girly girl, shy type with big tits. If you act rough, or you’re boyish with a flat chest, you’re out.

In love with him or already has feelings for him right from the start because he is the coolest guy she ever met or she regards him as her hero.

Sounds familiar? Sounds like Na-ru-to *cough* Fai-ry-Ta-il *cough* Ble-ach *cough* <insert other shounen anime/manga with same shit> 

Hold up your horses! Before you flame and send me hate, I just want to be fucking clear. I am not saying that this kind of romance structure in shounen anime/manga is wrong. I understand that shounen animes/mangas target the male audience that’s why anime/manga creators tend to choose this path most of the time. If you guys like it too that way (in every shounen) it’s fine, we’re cool. It’s just that for me, it gets boring once in a while. Also I am not hating on this type of characters. That’s how the author/creator wanted them to be, I can’t do anything about it.

Why can’t the male protagonist of the shounen manga/anime fall for the female character who is:

Already strong right from the beginning. I don’t get why their female love interests have to be this meek character at the beginning who usually will encounter some kind of trouble where the male lead will save her then only from that time she will realize or be inspired that she needs to be strong to not burden the male lead.

Bold, brave and has a strong personality. I am not saying she has to be necessarily boyish. What I am trying to say is that why is the love interest would always be that shy and timid type? Can’t it be the confident type this time? The one who can fight for herself and what she believes in. The one who is tough, can be rough sometimes but still ladylike all throughout.

Worthy to be called as his rival, on par on his skills and strength. Damsel in distress is so old fashioned! Princess being saved by a prince is nice but come on guys, ain’t it cooler to have a princess who can also fight beside you right from the start?!?!

These are the reasons why I ship BoruSara and why I want them to happen, they just complement each other so perfectly. In addition, I am also a huge sucker for rivals turned into lovers type of love story. I strongly believe that it is waaaaaaaaay better than the plain old love at first sight and boy saves girl shit.

 “B-but BoruSara won’t go canon because of this and that...”

I already made a blog about that. You guys can read it here if you haven’t yet.

There you go anon! I hope I was able to answer you. And yes this is the shortest that I can make it. I can still make it longer to be honest lol.

Later guys! I still got a drawing to finish.

Jacq out!  (*ゝω・)ﾉ

[jacqthehermit]

Thank you for the continuous support!

[jacqthehermit]

Seen the new episode? When Boruto nearly kissed Sarada by accident, afterwards you could see Sarada slightly blushed but hardly noticeable

yup hardly noticeable (tho I don’t really think she blushed) but who cares we have our shipping goggles on lmao

[jacqthehermit]

So Sarada does have feelings for Boruto, just that she isn't aware of them. When Sumire asked Sarada if she was interested in him, she looked sincere when she said she isn't. But when Sumire replied that she is, Sarada looked surprised. What do you think? Could it be jealousy or possessiveness subconsciously?

Naaah I don’t think we can already call it jealousy or anything. I think Sarada is just confused on why the hell ClassRep-san is confessing her feelings for Boruto to her lol. Hopefully Sarada will eventually figure out why.

Like when ClassRep-san starts to make advances towards Boruto and Sarada will little by little feel annoyed whenever she sees them interact or together. “What is this feeling?” “Is this jealousy? “Why the hell am I jealous SHANNAROOO!!!” “Could it be that I already have feelings with that idiot that’s why it hurts whenever I see him with the class rep!?”

Yeah I imagine it something like that. Of course this is just my possible scenario. At the end of the day, Ikemoto and SP are still the ones who will decide on what will happen on the story. I know Boruto doesn’t focus on romance but I cannot deny the fact that one of the reasons why I still read and follow this manga/anime is bec of my ship (BoruSara) that’s why I’m hoping for a new/different kind of romantic development between the characters compared to the first gen.

I am actually happy with the progress between Boruto and Sarada (despite tons of haters lmao). We’re done with the girl falls for the boy coz he’s cool or girl falls for the boy coz he saves her. We now have rivals who compete with each other but at the same time are friends who support one another. Little did they know that they are already falling with each other hehe. LET’S HOPE IT’LL END LIKE THIS!!! STAY STRONG BORUSARA FANDOM!!!

Sorry I got off topic haha but again, as of now, I believe that Sarada is just confused and nothing else. Her feelings for Boruto is still vague and she still hasn’t acknowledged it yet.

[jacqthehermit]

I love how you drew JK! ❤️🐰

This is super late but thank you very much anon! ;-;

[jacqthehermit]

Your Jikook fanart is fabulous.

OMG this is long overdue. I didn’t know someone would still send messages here. Thank you very much! ;-;

[jacqthehermit]

I wanna see some SS:(

Aaaaa yes my original OTP. I used to make SS fanarts waaaaaaaay back when my art was a lot crappier compared to today’s. Back when they were still not canon, the darkest times when Saucecakes went nuts, the time when the SS tag was like a fucking ghost town (I swear you can only count on your fingers SS artists who consistently produce art back then), the time when a lot of SS shippers gave up hope. SS are the only ones that I used to draw every single time. I even made my own SS project (which I wasn’t able to finish at the end lol) because I felt too cool to join and draw for SS month’s prompts LMAO. Good times.

I dunno. I think I am just overly obsessed with BoruSara right now that I can’t focus on other ships. Also I got this weird shit on me that whenever I fell deeply in love with a certain ship and I learned that there are only a few artists who contribute in producing art for the fandom, I automatically take responsibility in making more art for them. Seeing now that everyone is like drawing SS, I do not feel the need to draw them anymore (plus the fact that most are much amazing SS fanarts than the ones that I can produce lol)

Don’t get me wrong, I still fucking love SS, they will always be my no.1 and original OTP. I would still defend them with all my might from bashers and haters. I would still kill fight for them, individually or as a ship. It’s just that the burning passion to draw them every time is no longer there. 

Another possible reason is that maybe because SS is already indeed canon that my heart is now fully assured that no matter what others say, I no longer need to prove to them that Sasuke and Sakura are made for each other. I no longer have this urge to draw them to satisfy my own SS cravings and to annoy haters. I mean we now get SasuSaku official arts, what more can I ask for (not to mention they canonically had sex and now have a wonderful daughter named Sarada haha.)

I know this may disappoint you and I understand. You may not believe that I still love them because of my reasons but I still do, I really do. I know some of the old SS artists (who do not draw much SS now) feel the same way too because half of the people I follow are SS artists (and most of them are inactive now). I’ve read from a few of them waaaaaaaaay waaaaayy back when they were also asked by their followers why don’t draw much SS fanarts anymore is because of same reasons I got right now (but of course wont drop names ^^)

Well that’s my feels about that particular matter. I have always wanna blog about this but I always end up not doing so. I mean for what? For whom? Who even remembers that I used to be a hardcore crappy SS artist hahaha. I don’t know if you’re an old follower who remembers or you’re a new one who just wants more SS from me since you saw them on my BS fanarts (I think more of the latter). Nonetheless, thank you for making me (at the very least) feel and think that there is someone who misses my SS fanarts. I cannot promise you that I’ll draw SS in the future but you can expect to see them make appearances on my BS fanarts.

the cool thing I like about boruto is that he believes in sarada's dream even though he hates the title he still believes sarada will become the hokage

I think because they are childhood sweethearts friends. Boruto knows Sarada every since they were little thus he knows that Sarada is capable of being Hokage even though he doesn’t like the title. ‘Ya know if some other kid gonna tell him he/she wants to be hokage, Boruto would definitely not take him/her seriously specially he hates the idea being Hokage. But yeah, it’s Sarada, she’s an exception.

[jacqthehermit]

boruto looked sad when sarada said she was going to be hokage because he doesn't want to stop hanging out with him

My hardcore BoruSara shipper self: YAAAAAAAAAASSSSS HE WANTS TO BE WITH HER ALL THE TIME!!! HE ALSO WAS ANNOYED AND JEALOUS AF BECAUSE HIS BELOVED SARADA ASPIRES TO BECOME LIKE HIS OLD MAN WHO HE HATED DURING THAT TIME!!! HE BE LIKE “IDIOT OLD MAN!!! TRYING TO LOOK COOL AND IMPRESS MY SARADA -TTEBASA!!!!!!”

My logical other self: Naaah he’s just annoyed bec being hokage sucks for him since his father spends less time for his family due to hokage work.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA My gahd. This pairing is too precious for me haha srsly
