- The kids were having emotions again.

WHEN ARE THEY NOT HAVING EMOTIONS, ALSO #GENRAI BEST PARENTS 2K17

PORN CLOAK OF PRIVACY OOOOMFFALKJF AHAHAHAHA

OOOOH WE’RE GOING BACK TO HAPPY TIMES YAAAAY THIS MISSION AIN’T A FUCKSHOW QUITE YET

I’VE DECIDED NOT TO BE RELIEVED, I’LL WAIT WITH BAITED HOPE FOR THE NEXT THREAD TO CONTINUE THE TREND BEFORE I DEFINITIVELY CALL IT NOT-A-FUCKSHOW-MISSION

AHAHAHAAAAAA AAAAAND WE’RE BACK ON THE EVERYONE-IS-HOT SHOW, EPISODE: RAIDOU’S LIFE IS DIFFICULT PARTICULARLY BECAUSE OF KURENAI, THE MOONLIGHT WOMAN, AND GENMA, THE MAN STOLEN FROM SUMMER

ON THAT NOTE, THESE DESCRIPTIONS OF KURENAI AND GENMA BEING RIDICULOUSLY ATTRACTIVE ARE SO BEAUTIFUL???

AND OUTRIGHT ATTRACTIVE AFTER ALL THIS LOWKEY ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE DESCRIPTIONS MAKES THE POV CHANGE CLEAR AND REFRESHING, ALSO KUDOS TO WRITERS FOR BEING AMAZING

AAAND ON A SECOND NOTE, THESE BEAUTIFUL DESCRIPTIONS MAKE ME WANT A YOUKAI/SPIRIT AU, WHERE KURENAI IS ACTUALLY A MOONLIGHT WOMAN WHO STOLE GENMA FROM SUMMER (OR DID HE GO WILLINGLY OH HO HO HO)

AWWWWW FESTIVAL TIME FOR RYOUMA, KURENAI’S LIKE YAH SURE INDULGENT GRAMMA IS FUN, GENRAI MAKING A STRONG SHOW FOR BESTPARENTS2K17 AWARD

- Ryouma, on the opposite shore, looked excited and a little overwhelmed. “Do you eat the goldfish?”

AHAHAHAHAAAAAA RYOUMA IS SO CUTE HE’S SO CUTE I CAN’T

ALSO HE’S SO EXCITED HE’S SO PRECIOUS LIKE A PUPPY, LIKE THOSE PUPPY BOYFRIEND TROPE THINGS (IS IT A TROPE? IDK IT’S THE PACRIM RALEIGH IS A PUPPY BF TO MAKO THING)

Ok ok so Anbu Legacy has this thing where they’ll do like, warm/cute/hilarious/banter/etc and then STAB YOU IN THE BACK (AND SOMETIMES IN THE FRONT) WITH ANGST AND SAD FEELS

In a good way?? bc it’s all realistic angst for the world the characters are in and the lives they have and you really see the characters grow and-

BUT STILL, STABBING (THIS TIME IT WAS RAIDOU THINKING ABOUT RYOUMA’S CHILDHOOD OW)

AHAHAHAA KAKASHI AS A TEENAGE GIRL IS AWESOME AND ALSO RAIDOU USING A MEMORY OF HIS MOM’S KIMONO AWWW FAMILY FEELS

FAMILY BANTER IS HILARIOUS AND AWESOME AND GENMA AND KURENAI ARE SO SKILLED

OW ANOTHER STABBING WOW AM I GETTING SHANKED BEHIND A SKETCHY BAR

KAKASHI BASING HIS ACTING ON NARUTO AND KUSHINA: 1. I SEE IT, I REALLY DO, THAT IS IN FACT EXACTLY WHAT HE’S BEEN DOING WHICH IS WHY IT WAS FUNNY AND AWESOME BECAUSE KUSHINA IS BOTH FUNNY AND AWESOME, 2. OW THANKS FOR THE TEARS

STARVELING VAGABONDS, SUCH A KATSUKO PHRASE LOLOLOL

- “I think you should win me a prize, husband” THIS WHOLE THREAD HAS BEEN SO SHIPPY SO SO SHIPPY, AND I THOUGHT YOU COULDN’T GET SHIPPIER THAN THE CLUBBING FIC (PRETTY OBVS AFTERMATH OF THE CLUBBING FIC, I KNOW, BUT LET ME SCREAM OK)

I MEAN THIS ISN’T SHIPPIER BUT ITS SNEAKIER

NINJA SHIPPING

[kaminoko-x]

HOLD ON I JUST REALIZED TEPPEI KIYOSHI AS RAIDOU IN THE PICS IS A THING

... NICE

KURENAI SO COMPETENT SO COOL LOOK AT HER CASUALLY AND EFFECTIVELY GATHERING INTEL VIA OLD PEOPLE GOSSIP

OH LOOK SO NOT ONLY IS GENMA’S BODY ATTRACTIVE BUT ALSO HIS THOUGHTFULNESS, HE IS ACTUALLY SO DATEABLE EXCEPT YOU KNOW THE WHOLE ANBU THING PUTS A DAMPER ON IT, NO WONDER HE GOT A MARRIAGE PROPOSAL

KA-CHAN AND RYUU ARE JUST EXCELLENT, LIKE THAT IS ME + MY BROTHER IRL SERIOUSLY, Y’ALL NAILED THAT DYNAMIC

AND THE PLOT THICKENS YAH BOI I’M READY

ALSO SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS IS SUPER COOL, EVERYONE’S IN INTELLECTUAL MISSION MODE AS OPPOSED TO LIKE, VIOLENT MISSION MODE, BOTH ARE COOL BUT INTELLECTUAL MODE IS SUCH FUN

- A teenage boy came up, red-faced, and pressed several buns into Ka-chan's hands. "Enjoy the festival," he blurted, and sprinted back to his giggling friends

OH MY GOOOOOD THAT HAPPENED THAT’S SO CUTE ALSO THIS WRITING IS AMAZING MY BRAIN FILLED IN AN ENTIRE LITTLE BACK SCENARIO FOR THAT TEENAGE BOY FROM 2 SENTENCES (HIS FRIENDS POKING FUN AT HIM NOTICING A PRETTY GIRL, DOUBLE DOG DARING HIM TO GIVE HER A BUN, HIM WORKING UP THE COURAGE, TEENAGE BOY SHENANIGANS ETC)

ALSO WOW RYOUMA IS NAILING THAT TEENAGE BOY ATTITUDE, WRITERS, YOU DID SO AWESOME

- "Baby," Rie said sweetly, "you should know by now that all your ideas are mine." It had the ring of a direct quote. Kurenai suspected Raidou was channeling one of his own mothers heavily tonight.

SO CUTE I’M ALMOST MAD, WOW FAMILY FEELS EVERYWHERE HOW DARE YOU

AAAND THE PLOT THICKENS MORE WOW THE TENSION IS DELICIOUS

SENSE MEMORY GENJUTSU IS FASCINATING STUFF, NICE

IT’S DONE? IT’S DONE. AND IT’S A... CLIFFHANGER, OFC

NO PROBLEM, I AM PATIENT AND THIS THREAD IS ALREADY A BLESSING, THANK YOU WRITERS

BUT I ALSO WAIT IN EAGER ANTICIPATION FOR WHAT COMES NEXT CAUSE I HAVE ABSOLUTE FAITH IT’S GONNA BE AWESOME

[kaminoko-x]

anbu-legacy fire in the mountains live blog

because i have so much screaming to do and nobody to scream at and i can’t just flood the author’s tumblr inbox with asks, that’s rude

warning that it will mostly be screaming in delight rather than actual witty commentary, especially cause it’s the first read thru

hashtag is gonna be fashioned after praetorianguard #ke reads anbu legacy

@anbu-legacy

[kaminoko-x]

ALL THIS VERY CUTE AND COMFORTABLE RYOKA (RYOUSHI? DO WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL SHIP NAME) DIALOGUE IS JUST

I’M KIND OF DYING AND I DON’T EVEN SHIP THAT MUCH USUALLY BUT THE SHIP FEELS ARE KILLING ME (FRIENDSHIP, RELATIONSHIP, WHATEVER, I HAVE ALL KINDS OF FEELS)

I AM HERE FOR KAKASHI AND KIDS, HERE FOR IT, DO YOU HEAR ME ABYSS OF THE INTERNET, HERE

OOOOOMMMFFF- TEAM 6 SEEING KAKASHI BEING CUTE WITH KIDS I’M ALSO VERY HERE FOR THAT TOO

PUMICE STONE KAKASHI! NEVER DID I KNOW HOW MUCH I MISSED KATSUKO’S VARIED AND HILARIOUS NICKNAMES UNTIL NOW. A JOYFUL AND NOLSTALGIC YET SAD MOMENT

- It was old history, and only part of it belonged to him. Granted, the part that had fractured and torn everyone bloody.

- “No one died.” THAT’S HOW YOU MEASURE HOW BAD IT WAS NOOOOOO (I MEAN FAIR ENOUGH, YOUR AUDIENCE ARE NINJA AND SATOMI’S THING WITH U DID INVOLVE DEATH)

I WOULD LIKE TO WRAP YOU IN A BLANKET AND FEED U HOT CHOCOLATE POOR BBY

I MEAN *COUGH* OFC CH DEVELOPMENT AND BLAHBLAHMORE INSIGHTFUL COMMENTS ABOUT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENTBLAHBLAH (I WILL PROBABLY DISCUSS IT ACTUALLY MEANINGFULLY WITH SILVERSTAR AFTER I FINISH SCREAMING BECAUSE THOSE BITS ARE ACTUALLY VERY INTERESTING)

CROSSDRESSING AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA OF ALL THE THINGS TO ASK ABOUT

I MEAN, EXCELLENT SOCIAL SKILLS IN RESTORING THE MOOD, KAKASHI

- There was a distinct undercurrent of warmth curling through Raidou and Ryouma’s scents. Kakashi decided not to read into that.

OH HO HO HO HO HO HO 

LIKE I SAID I DON’T SHIP USUALLY BUT IT’S SO HARD TO NOT SHIP WHEN YOU DO THIS @anbu-legacy

OH MAN THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS ABOUT THIS KAKASHI POV SECTION I THINK I WILL SCREAM ABOUT WHEN I CAN ACTUALLY THINK STRAIGHT

KAKASHI IGNORING IT + THOUGHTS ON HIMSELF CROSS DRESSING, I LIKE THAT HEADCANON OF HIM ACE BUT EVEN BEYOND THAT THIS IS SO IN CHARACTER WOW NICE JOB GUYS

��ALL KNOWLEDGE IS USEFUL”+ HE ACTUALLY CONSIDERS IT, NICE, ALSO I NOD TO HIS DESIRE TO LEARN KURENAI’S TEA CEREMONY SKILLS AND HIS HOPEFUL POKING THAT SHE’D DISCUSS HER JUTSU WITH HIM

... I NOW HEADCANON HE LOWKEY HAS A SKILLS CRUSH ON KURENAI CAUSE HER SKILLSET IS JUST SO DIFFERENT FROM HIS. OFC IT’S MOSTLY OVERSHADOWED BY THEIR HISTORY AND STUFF BUT IT’S THERE

I MEAN, SEE, “Kurenai had looked downright dangerous in her red dress, but Kurenai could look dangerous in a sack” HE RESPECTS HER REAL HARD (ALSO OFC SHE COULD SHE’S A QUEEN)

[kaminoko-x]

“You—" she pointed a polished finger at Raidou—"have a reputation for dealing with, and I quote, 'weird shit.'"

I MEAN YOU’RE NOT WRONG

WILL TEAM 6 EVER GET A BREAK, READERS WONDER. I DO RECALL AUTHORS HAVE LOOKED NERVOUSLY AT US AND LAUGHED

[kaminoko-x]

PROBABLY NOT I MAY PERISH IN THE FACE OF HER AWESOME

LEGGO

[kaminoko-x]

- That evening at the ryokan was their last good night for almost a week. DANG IT I CALLED IT AND I DIDN’T WANT IT TO BE SO

OOOH HUMIDITY AND HEAT EW

AUTHORS YOU DO KNOW TRUE SUFFERING

AS A PERSON WHO LIVES ON AND LOVES THE WEATHER OF THE WEST COAST OF CANADA, WHO HAS VISITED AND COULDN’T HANDLE TAIWAN IN MAY, WHICH IS APPARENTLY NOT EVEN THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, I PITY AND EMPATHIZE WITH TEAM 6 BECAUSE THEIR SITUATION IS PROBABLY FIFTY TIMES WORSE WHAT I WENT THRU

I’M DYING BUG SEX OH MY GOD

KURENAI AND GENJUTSU IS ALWAYS A FASCINATING BUT ALSO VERY ATTRACTIVE COMBINATION, BC KURENAI IS A QUEEN AND COMPETENCY IS HOT

I THOUGHT GENMA MIGHT BE THE MOM BUT NO IT’S RAIDOU AND MY SKIN IS CLEAR, MY CROPS ARE WATERED - 

OOOOOOMMFFFF ALL THESE AMAZING GENJUTSU CHANGES FOR KURENAI LIKE SHE DOESN’T EVEN POOF JUST SNAPS A FAN OPEN AND WHILE YOU WERE DISTRACTED FOR JUST A SECOND HER KIMONO’S DIFFERENT NOW, LIKE A MAGICIAN, SHE’S SO COOL (WCW EXCEPT ALL THE TIME THANKS)

GENDOU IS THAT

IS THAT LIKE A SHIP NAME @anbu-legacy

IS IT, I DEMAND THE TRUTH

WE’VE BEEN USING GENRAI BUT YOU JUST SLIPPED THAT RIGHT IN THERE LIKE WOW

KURENAI BACK AT IT BEING SUPER COMPETENT INTEL AGENT, EASILY SPINNING HISTORIES AND PERSONALITIES INTO PLACE, I LOVE EVERYTHING

“SULLEN WASN’T HARD TO FAKE” AHAHAHAHHAHAAAA I’M DYING RYOUMA IS SO PRECIOUS AND ALSO HILARIOUS

KURENAI IS REALLY DONE AND ALSO REALLY WANTS THAT BATH AND SHE JUST DOESN’T CARE #REQUIRED-TO-ADULT-MOOD

OOOOH RYOUMA’S QUICK LOOK IS ACTUALLY NOT PARTICULARLY EMPHASIZED ON ATTRACTIVENESS. FOR ONCE.

I MEAN IT’S STILL LIKE, LOWKEY THERE, BC GEN AND KURENAI ARE MOLTEN ON A SCALE OF HOW HOT R U? BUT THEN IT’S ALSO JUST ANALYTICAL, LIKE THOSE DETAILS ON KURENAI - “a generosity to hip and breast that combat kunoichi could seldom afford” NICE WORLDBUILDING AND VERY FASCINATING

- But she stretched, and kept stretching, long and lean, until she slid back into Kakashi's shape and leaned against the door.

THESE HENGE GENJUSTSU TRANSITION THINGS ARE KILLING ME THEY’RE SO SO SO COOL

AUTHORS YOU’RE SO COOL

[kaminoko-x]

NAKED AND A KUNAI FT. KAKASHI

SOUNDS LIKE THE TITLE OF A GREAT CRACK!FIC THAT I NEED TO READ

BISHAMON, JAPANESE NAME FOR A BUDDHIST DEITY. IN JAPAN, THE GOD OF WAR AND SMITER OF EVILDOERS. THANKS NORAGAMI FOR THIS KNOWLEDGE. ALSO NORAGAMI MAKES ME THINK OF BISHAMON AS AN ARMOURED, FIERCELY COMPASSIONATE, BADASS WOMAN, WHICH IS AWESOME

- Luck doesn’t mean life holds no hardships. It just means you come through them and find happiness on the other side

GENMA DELIVERING SOME WISDOM, NAICE

GEN AND RAI ARE HAPPY I’M HAPPY THEY’RE HAPPY THIS IS SO NICE

OH NO

RYOUMA

RYOUMA POOR BBY BUT ALSO GEN AND RAI DELIVERING IMPORTANT MESSAGES, THERE ARE SO MANY GOOD LIFE LESSONS IN THAT CONVERSATION WOW

- He put a hand on Ryouma’s shoulder, half for comfort, and half because in their studying together, he’d learned Ryouma seemed to listen better when touched

LOLOLOL SNEAKY SNEAKY LIEUTENTANT WHO SNEAKS BECAUSE HE CARES, EXCELLENT

“I’VE NEVER BEEN A GOOD PERSON” OH NO RYOUMA NOOOOO

I MEAN WE ALL KNEW HE WAS LIKE THIS BUT STILL

RYOUMA GETS ADDED TO LIST OF PPL I CURRENTLY WANT TO SWADDLE IN BLANKETS AND FEED HOT CHOCOLATE

GEN AND RAI GET FIFTY MILLION GOLD STARS FOR DOING THEIR UTMOST TO ENCOURAGE AND INSTILL THE IMPORTANCE AND WORTH OF RYOUMA INTO HIMSELF

AWWW RYOUMA SO HAPPY HE CAN SWAP HIS SOAP TO BOTHER KAKASHI LESS, VERY CUTE

[kaminoko-x]

OK READY READY

ALL THESE APPEARANCES OF KAKASHI’S HUMOUR ARE KILLING ME

DRUNK DEMONS + THERE’S A RAIKAGE??

I’M CRYING SO HARD SAVE ME, THIS IS AMAZING

ALSO ALL THOSE ASKS COMMENTING ABOUT VARIOUS ASPECTS OF RAIDOU + GENMA’S ATTRACTIVENESS? ALL THOSE CH ASKS WHERE CHS DESCRIBE R+G’S ATTRACTIVE POINTS? WRITERS HAVE PUT ALL OF THOSE IDEAS AND THOUGHTS TO EXCELLENT USE AND THEY GAVE US MORE

WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED, ABYSS OF THE INTERNET

KURENAI SO PROFESH YET R+G JUST SO ATTRACTIVE LOLOLOLOL

I’M KIND OF CRYING BC OF THAT TOO IT’S HILARIOUS AND SUCH SHIP AT THE SAME TIME, NAICE

SOME OF THOSE RYOUMA COMMENTS ARE SO KATSUKO

NO WONDER THEY GOT ON LIKE A HOUSE ON FIRE AND ALSO THAT’S PROBABLY HER INFLUENCE TOO

THE ACTUAL MISSION THO: THE PLOT THICKENS!!!!!! YAY WORLDBUILDING, YAY POLITICS, It’s serious biz time~~ FUN AND FASCINATING FOR EVERYONE EXCEPT MAYBE THE CHARACTERS

[kaminoko-x]

RYOUMA GETTING ALL PUPPY GUARDING OVER GENMA

WAS IT KAKASHI THAT HE NOTICED AND DECIDED TO SIDE WITH OR WHAT

NICE

CUTE I SHIP IT

[kaminoko-x]

- Conscious of Aoba beside her, Kurenai looked for Kakashi instead. 

- Raidou crouched inside with a measuring tape, moving swiftly, calling out numbers. Genma recorded measurements in a small black book. Both of them were shirtless, skin shining beneath old scars. Genma's hair was tied back in a short tail. Raidou's jeans sagged under the weight of a heavy tool-belt.

- But he put the stereo down without hitting play and got to his feet in one long stretch of sun-brown skin. Without the excuse of heavy labor he'd kept his shirt on, a black tank over cut-off shorts. There was something to be said for ANBU muscle.

WOW THANKS AUTHORS FOR THE VERY NICE IMAGERY

SEXY VIBES EVERYWHERE (BC KURENAI AND THE WHOLE 3SOME THING AND ALSO BC RYOUMA AND HIS EVERYTHING THANKS FOR FEEDING THE SHIPPERS)

LIKE THESE ARE JUST STATEMENTS BUT ALL THOSE LOW HIGHKEY UNDERTONES OF ATTRACTIVE WHEW

[kaminoko-x]

AWWW THIS GENRAI BANTER IS JUST THE CUTEST

- “That’s not surprising. I’m not a particularly good Buddhist,” Genma said. “I eat meat, and I kill people. The killing makes me ritually unpure for the Shinto priests, too.” He picked his senbon up from a crevice in the floorboards where he’d dropped it. “I don’t know if I really believe, but I guess I believe enough that I feel better if I meditate, and say a sutra or two, and make my shrine offerings. But I acknowledge it’s inconsistent with being in ANBU.”

OOOH I LIKE THIS BIT. lowercase cause this isn’t screaming - I feel like it’s really like real life? there’s a lot of people that wouldn’t call themselves religious/say they believe in a particular thing, but will participate in, for example, Jewish festivities cause they’re Jewish, or attend a Christmas service with family or friends or alone cause it makes them feel better.

I LOVE THIS CONVO

THOSE UNDERTONES OF ANGST AND OVERTONES OF HILARIOUS BANTER

AND IT JUST FEELS LIKE LIFE

LIKE THERE ARE HIGHS AND LOWS AND YOU ENJOY THE GOOD COMPANY AND GOOD HUMOUR AND LET GO OF THE THINGS THAT WEIGH YOU DOWN FOR A WHILE

ALSO THIS IS SO SO CUTE

-��“Liar,” Raidou said. But he was laughing. He stretched out on the porch, long and lean through the waist, chest and shoulders broad and powerful, with his arms pillowing his head.

AAAAAND AMIDST THE CUTENESS COMES A FACE SMACK OF RAIDOU ATTRACTIVENESS, RUDE

[kaminoko-x]

EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND CALM AND PLEASANT

AESTHETIC: SUN WARMED TRAVEL, GREAT FOOD, FRIENDS, PLEASANT AND WARM STRANGERS, EXCITED AND ADORABLE CHILDREN, JUST A LITTLE BIT OF SORENESS THAT COMES FROM SATISFACTORY EXERCISE, SUNSET ROADTRIP VIBES EVERYWHERE

TEAM 6 (+KURENAI) ARE FINALLY CATCHING A BREAK THIS IS SO LOVELY (PLEASE LET IT NOT BE A CONSOLATION BEFORE SOME GREAT FUCKSHOW OF A MISSION, PLEASE @anbu-legacy PLZ)

ALSO THOSE CHARMS EVERYONE HAS NOW, IT’S SO CUTE SO CUTE (SO FLUFFY I COULD DIE, ETC ETC)

[kaminoko-x]

WOW LIVEBLOGGING IS HARD

EH NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE I HAVE EXCUSES

ANYWAYS GONNA READ A CHUNK THEN SCREAM THEN READ MORE CHUNKS

THIS TYPING OUT MY SCREAMING ABOUT EVERY LITTLE THING IS MESSING WITH THE FLOW

SEE YOU IN A BIT, ABYSS OF THE INTERNET

[kaminoko-x]

"You don't have clearance?" Kakashi drew a kunai. "Yuuhi, bar the door."

EVERYONE PLZ RISE FOR THE ENTRANCE OF KAKASHI’S SENSE OF HUMOUR

[kaminoko-x]

AOBA AND ALL THE INNUENDOS AND SEXY THOUGHTS LOLOLOLOL HE’S NOT EVEN BOTHERING TO PRETEND I SEE U BRO
