Ship fusions Bonus round 2! (And final)

The fan idea that Karin and Sakura would kill each other for Sasuke is so dumb.

They canonically got a chance to get each other killed, remember? Karin could have stayed silent when Sasuke was standing behind Sakura with a chidori as much as Sakura could have killed Karin when Sasuke ordered her to. And they didn't.

They didn't want each other to die.

In that moment, both understood the depth of the darkness Sasuke was in. They recognized they were victims, they were in danger and that they wouldn't sacrifice a girl so much like themselves for a twisted version of the boy they fell in love with when they were still foolish little girls.

What we got was Karin feeling upset when she saw Sakura crying so sadly and Sakura healing Karin on the spot. Even when they were enemies at the moment, there was an unspoken sentiment between them: I won't sacrifice you for him.

daan and karin as kids

[panharmonium]

funniest and most heartwarming thing i rediscovered on my rewatch is when karin roasts sakura about poisoning naruto and then kakashi, who loves all of his kids very much and understands their behavior and isn’t upset with them about their choices but has also been under ABSURD amounts of stress for all of season 10, just bursts out laughing ❤️

here are my kids. The girl is the daughter of Sakura and Naruto, the brunette is the son of Sasuke and Karin, and the last is the son of Hinata and Kiba

Boy. I guess I am sharing my Termina ships tier list. I am both fearful but also excited lol. I can most definitely talk about the ones I ranked higher up on the list if someone would be willing to lend an ear :]

Keep in mind though, this tier list is about these pairings being portrayed as romantic and/or sexual specifically.

And finally, stay civil. Thank you.

One of my really self indulgent Naruto au is Tsunade still being Hokage while the Konoha 12 are young adults and Tsunade treats Karin and Naruto like her grandkids

And because so many of her loved ones have died and Tsunade has a bit of a complex about it, part of her treating those two like her actual grandkids is being hella overprotective of them (which both of them have no idea how to feel about that since no one was overprotective of them as kids)

Unfortunately I have no idea how canonically they’d treat each other as family, but my version of it for Karin and Naruto is that they call each other cousins and they’re protective of each other in different ways

Because this is my au: Naruto is genderfluid and actually a bit sad that he doesn’t have much connecting him to the Uzumaki clan, and Karin knows a lot about the Uzumaki clan

So Karin is protective of Naruto in that way older relatives can be, she sees Naruto as her sweet younger cousin who’s a bit too oblivious for his own good and obviously insecure about his lack of ties to the clan, so she’ll constantly tell Naruto how great he is at being an Uzumaki and is wary about who he befriends cause she doesn’t want people to take advantage of him

Naruto, meanwhile, is protective of her in a loud way, if anyone’s got a problem with Karin, they gotta go through Naruto first (also I like to imagine that Karin is still taller than Naruto, standing behind him while he’s like the “excuse me, she asked for fries!” meme)

Main thing I like to think about for this is people on the outside thinking that Karin would be struggling with finding her place, because Tsunade is kinda like the Uzumaki/Senju “head” of the family (which is just like,, 5 of them, I count Shizune and Iruka), and Naruto looks more like Tsunade, got her necklace passed down to him, has always been a part of the village, would probably be the next in line to be clan head, etc

But actually Naruto’s the one who’s super insecure about his place, with not knowing anything about the Uzumaki clan, looking a ton like his dad and not having the signature red hair, not having the chains, etc, and Karin is just constantly comforting him

Also, this is my own hc, but I think the Uzumaki clan would probably have more women than men in it and (if I’m not in a bad headspace where it sends me spiraling down my own dysphoria) that would be another thing Naruto would struggle with

Rivals to Lovers

When you grew up with rivals to lovers sunshine x grumpy magical girl princesses, so you're into rivals to lovers sushine x grumpy princess hedgehogs (yes, Shadow is a princess >:3)

Sakura & Syaoran (Card Captor Sakura) start as rivals before they get together. Karin & Kazune (Kamichama Karin) also start as rivals and get together. Sonadow start as rivals and -

-

Bonus: Have one of my fav songs from Kamichama Karin:

(It's a very old manga from 2003, but IF you also want to get into it, just read the manga, the anime was poorly made: they started with the end: spoiling the entire manga in the first episode lmao xD I think it's because the sequel: Kamichama Kiss was ongoing at the time, so maybe they wanted to bring elements from the sequel into the first story, which created a mess lol XD)

The Raspberry Room

BY KARIN GOTTSHALL

It was solid hedge, loops of bramble and thorny

as it had to be with its berries thick as bumblebees.

It drew blood just to get there, but I was queen

of that place, at ten, though the berries shook like fists

in the wind, daring anyone to come in. I was trying

so hard to love this world—real rooms too big and full

of worry to comfortably inhabit—but believing I was born

to live in that cloistered green bower: the raspberry patch

in the back acre of my grandparents’ orchard. I was cross-

stitched and beaded by its fat, dollmaker’s needles. The effort

of sliding under the heavy, spiked tangles that tore

my clothes and smeared me with juice was rewarded

with space, wholly mine, a kind of room out of

the crush of the bushes with a canopy of raspberry

dagger-leaves and a syrup of sun and birdsong.

Hours would pass in the loud buzz of it, blood

made it mine—the adventure of that red sting singing

down my calves, the place the scratches brought me to:

just space enough for a girl to lie down.
