#neji deserved better

[oraclesblog]

If you ever think your least favourite ship is the worst, just remember that Naruhina had to…

mutilate and fridge a 14 year old girl.

And then kill off a fan favourite character.

In order to pull off the ass pull of the century by making two characters with barley any page time of interactions end up together purely for the sake of fan service.

A little sweetness of my babies 💜 The twins really do love their little sister and they hug all the time no matter how old they are 🥹 they’re such mushes like their father! Neji can’t keep his hands off of Tenten some times LOL

Hizashi on the left and Nozomi on the right and of course little Meiten in the middle.

When your relative who suffered through slavery, lost his dad, and got killed just for a "shipping fuel" even if you get to be with your crush.

Pokemon journey

The fifth badge has been secured, but not without a cost.

I’m afraid Neji the Meditite fell in battle, exactly like the character he was named after. A sacrifice to protect a Pokemon i refused to lose (Sasuke the Luxio)

[fusionblitz28]

Yes, yes, yes to all of this 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 I’m looking at you SasuNaruSasu 😬 Naruto and Sasuke have wayyy more chemistry than they do with Hinata or Sakura whom they both canonically marry. Even in Boruto, SasuNaru spend more time together than with their families and it’s cruel to their wives. Canon would have been better off putting them together (after Sasuke gets some major therapy).

Hinata’s entire personality is Naruto even though she has awesome abilities and a heartbreaking backstory that could have been explored more to have her come into her strength of her own accord. Instead her entire screen time hinges on her obsession with Naruto. She and her sister and Neji could have banded together to take down her father and do away with the branch family and their awful seals. Even if Hinata didn’t want to lead the clan her character could have had so much influence and done so much more then we are given. They could have made Neji the head of the clan. It would be a full circle moment for the three of them to escape their so called “fates” and rewrite the story for their people. Instead Neji dies for the sake of her and Naruto getting together. His sacrifice was wasted. He only escapes the seal in death which means he had never escaped fate at all.

My girl Sakura is the only member of Team 7 with ZERO backstory- nothing about her family, barely anything else bar the whole Ino fight in the chunin exams. She becomes Tsuna’s apprentice and is a baller medic and fighter but she only gets one awesome fight and her personality still hinges on her love for Sasuke. It would have been cool to see her grow past the obsessive little girl crush and love and care for Sasuke as a teammate. He had done so much wrong to her and the rest of the team and all of it just gets swept under the rug. Sasuke leaves right after being exonerated and Sakura just waits. And waits. For him to come back and they get married. The relationship gets no development and neither party matures enough to be together.

I write mostly KakaSaku and I always struggle to write Sakura’s perspective over Kakashi’s. And it’s this reason. Kakashi has a fully fleshed out and complicated backstory and past and so much growth as a character. Sakura is nearly a clean slate which can be fun but it’s also overwhelming cause I have to add more to her because canon was lacking. She deserved more. All the female characters in Shonen deserve more.

This is not hate on NaruHina or SasuSaku or any other ship. I am 💯 pro ship whether that ship is canon or not. This is criticism of a much bigger issue where females get left out of complexities in writing. Or left out of writing in general.

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

[rikustarlight]

The ending they deserved TBH. I have some head cannons here of if you want to take a look. Neji and Tenten definitely had three kids.

BRB sobbing:

Something about Naruto’s character has always made me so incredibly sad and horrified and I have no idea why. I don’t know if it’s due to his different treatment to both his parents, something about him immediately punching Minato the moment he realized that was his dad, that his father was the one to give him such a heavy burden, or something about him sobbing his little heart out and holding onto his mom the moment he met her. Like the little kid he was when he lost her (literally as a newborn) and the little kid he still was when he first properly met her.

Or maybe is something about how much he holds on to whoever doesn’t treat him badly. Even if he’s just being ignored, his sole existence not being acknowledged, he isn’t being treated like a filthy animal. Maybe not being treated badly was what Naruto thought love was. Maybe that’s why he’s always hold onto Sasuke. Because, in a way, they were one and the same, at least in Naruto’s eyes.

He doesn’t care for where does that love come from, or from who. As long as he’s not being hurt then Naruto is bound to think that that’s love. Because he grew up without it, so he doesn’t know how it should feel like.

Maybe it’s something about Naruto’s emotional dependency that has always made me so horrified and upset.

yapping abt my neji & hinata role-swap au

ok so hinata is in the branch house and a genius, neji is in the main house and weak. their ages are also swapped, putting hinata on team gai and neji on team 8, and their personalities stay the same for the most part so this is how i think they'd react in eachothers places!!

neji kind of 'gives up' on becoming strong because it seemed to come so naturally to those around him, like hinata and hanabi. this is where naruto would come in for his development. this only rlly works cuz he'd be on team 8 and not team gai, otherwise lee would've helped with that. hanabi is also put as heir instead of him and he's incredibly jealous and pissed about it.

hinata is still non-violent and soft spoken, but due to her talent/genius she's pressured heavily into training constantly and sent on missions etc no matter how much she hates it, like she still has intense social anxiety. maybe she develops a kind of aversion to death/violence/shinobi in general after her father dies? since hizashi would be her dad in this au. i think she'd end up taking her treatment a little more face down, then naruto could inspire her to stand up for herself, seeing how he didn't take the villagers shit to heart and proved them wrong. he makes the same promise to change the clan once he's hokage but i think he also encourages her to make some of the firat steps herself.

i don't think hinata would have the same animosity towards neji as neji does to her in canon, but i do think she'd resent him silently a little? but she cares for him too, and tries to take care of him when hiashi won't. buuut then neji takes that as a sign of pity, rejecting it and causing a rift between them. he doesn't know why she takes everything so quietly, why she doesn't speak up and why she lets people assume she's weak when she was blessed with all that talent.

neji's so insecure about being weak that he fully hides it, clinging onto the expectations of his power as the eldest hyuuga son and how ppl percieve him as mysterious. "he's so cool what is he hiding?" absolutely jack shit. maybe something undiagnosed. he's a little pathetic here and i love it.

they make up and hinata is the most doting older sister/cousin ever and neji doesn't give up (and isn't a bitter little shit to her and hanabi!! yay!!) and then neji gets with naruto and hinata gets with tenten. and they all live happily ever after cuz i am not killing hinata or neji fuck that
