Weird Wednesday Headcanon: Inner Sakura is a STAND!

Let's be honest, guys, the only reason why the female characters in Naruto got held back so much in their overall potential and fighting prowess, was because of Kishimoto's, very likely, and I mean, VERY LIKELY (we don't even really know, all I am saying is, everything that happened so far in his material, and some of the things he said in interviews about the female characters, doesn't do him any favors), underlying misogyny, since...

Off-topic, but c'mon. Demon Slayer would like to have a word with him. The entire IP was written by a female mangaka, and yet she managed to make both males AND females in her story, equally as interesting and compelling. Sure, it was more on the simplistic and straightforward side, it's Shonen after all, but it was really well done, regardless. And even the "housewife" archetype was done in an appealing fashion, with Tengen's three wives, who were more than stay-at-home housewives, they were his bodyguards too, they kept active to not lose sight of their, now sadly, physically handicapped husband. Sometimes, you don't need to make every single aspect of your IP so deep and philosophical to be good. The point, "more is less", exists for a reason. And once again, because this is a mentality I kept seeing on Reddit and Twitter, just to remind you all, who will try to get all smart on me:

THIS. IS. FICTION. YOU CAN WRITE, ANYTHING YOU WANT! NOTHING LIMITS YOU! ESPECIALLY NOT WHO ARE YOU!

Like, this is fucking ridiculous, you really mean to tell me, that, just because you have a penis, all of a sudden, you can't relate to the problems of women, as though, they are an entirely different species from you? WHAT NONSENSE IS THIS? If you write, you write, nothing should be limiting you, unless maybe, you tackle serious, real-life problems, then it's best advised to do a little research first, before tackling them in a tactful way, but aside from that, NOTHING should hold you back.

Anyway, venting over, back to the topic at hand.

You know what'd be a serious buff to Sakura, overall? Outside of gaining access to the 8 Gates, thanks to Rock Lee and Guy?

...taming Inner Sakura, and turning that joke character into a dangerous weapon. And the way it works, at least if you were to go off of what the 2000s PS2 era was showing off with her, Inner Sakura is an inner, astral projection, manifesting in the real world, and making you eat her dust. Not convinced? Check it out:

C'mon, people! There is no doubt about it. Sakura. Is a STAND USER. And that stand of hers, is like if you were to fuse the lady that King Kong kidnaps, with himself. It just makes you ask: Why wasn't regularly used by Sakura? It could just be a unique extension to her Genjutsu toolkit, in that, her Genjutsu, is so painful, it has real-life effects on you. Basically, her anxiety and delusions are so strong, along with her wild, livid imagination, her mind ends up creating this astral projection of her inner turmoil. And with that, Genin Sakura, buffed to hell. And before becoming a healer, she is mostly a wrecking ball.

All she needs to do, is catch you in her Genjutsu raidus, and you're toast. She will toss and punch you around, like a little kid, venting its frustrations on its plushie.

Just imagine how devastating that technique might look for reals, and the reason I am saying this...

...mentally replace Jotaro with Sakura, and just picture Inner Sakura bombarding, her opposition, who might be, hypothetically, Kabuto, who is tormenting Naruto from afar, so Sakura decides:

Kate Higgins. Chie Nakamura. I will pay you, real-life money, just to replicate this, while replacing the ORA with CHA.

PEACE.

i really don’t get why some sasuke stans on tumblr are against team 7. do you want sasuke to be alone?? and not with the only two people who make him happy?? every time sasuke thinks of bonds he thinks of naruto and sakura. why be against it?? sasuke deserves to be happy and with people who love him. do you want him to be wandering around the world alone? with a cat? what exactly do you want from this little guy he suffered through so much

Attractive things he does unconsciously

-Haruka Sakura, Hajime Umemiya, Toma Hiragi, Taiga Tsugeura, Jo Togame

Haruka Sakura

Licks his lips a lot. It's something he does daily, before speaking, after eating, or whenever his lips are dry. Your most favourite one is when he's pissed, he licks his lips in a slow pace.

Hajime Umemiya

He grunts a lot. It's not even on purpose either, it could be when he's cracking his neck, sitting down, getting a massage, listening to someone speak, he grunts in a low tone and it drives you nuts.

One of his most common things is leaning down to listen to you, he really only does it with you due to your height. Prickly little asshole, he doesn't even know how attractive that is.

Toma Hiragi

Man spreads.

Because of how tall and his decent build, he finds it most comfortable when sitting down on a chair with his legs a part.

You hate him for this but he's awfully decent at cleaning up wounds, he goes on his knees to clean up a cut on your leg and the sight before you can't comprehend how to breathe.

Taiga Tsugeura

Whenever he's sweating, he uses his tang top to wipe off his forehead, so when he does that, you can see his abs dripping with sweat.

Another thing he does that is more playful is he likes using your body as a weight. Puts you on his back while doing push-ups or pull-ups, uses you for bicep curls, while squatting, anything to get those gains!

Jo Togame

He gets into your personal space, he doesn't know what boundaries are. If you're sitting on a chair and he has to place something down, instead of going around you, he just looms over your body to the point where you could smell his cologne and feel his chest touch your back.

He doesn't understand why you jump away like a cat trying to defend itself.

Everyone talks about Pilot!Dib vs Show!Dib, but Pilot!Zim doesn't get enough love for how unique he is

So after my bizarrely thorough pilot research, here's my points on what makes Pilot!Zim unique! (aside from his pretty sakura pink eyes)

Also note that a lot of this info comes from the original Show Bible; the Pilot itself shows a lot of characterization but can only show so much

Firstly, writing aside, we gotta talk about performance. Whether it's Richard Horvitz, Billy West, or the ORIGINAL Mark Hamill lines that Nick is keeping somewhere in their vault, Pilot Zim is more low-key and mellow than his finalized version. Like sure, he's still evil and hammy (in more of a "cringe angry little kid on the playground" sort of way) and he still screams, but it's NOTHING compared to the balls to the walls "HAVE YOU THE BRAIN-WORMS?!" madness that is Show!Zim. So this is the only continuity where Zim is way more sane than Dib tbh

Pilot Zim is really only shown on the defense in his episode; even in the fight scene, he only really uses his mech's shield and armor. The show bible describes scenarios where he's antagonistic and tries to actually ruin human lives (in a very pathetic way), but for the most part he's an observing alien spy trying to defend himself from Dib's torment. Hell, it's said in the show bible that he only ruined Operation Impending Doom 1 because his short ass couldn't see over the control panel. The most evil thing he does is snatch one child's brain nonchalantly. This is in contrast to Show Zim being a PURE MENACE.

He's a gamer! And an angry one at that. In main series, Zim's Computer claims that his base has no video games.

Pilot!Zim's got way less constitution than Show!Zim. The show bible REALLY emphasizes Zim's allergies being a major reacurring part of the show while in the final series they're just an occasional danger. Pilot!Zim's body also reacts to Earth allergens much more violently than Show!Zim's.

Pilot!Zim and Pilot!GIR feel simultaneously more positive yet more distant. They just meet up, Zim gives a command, GIR does the thing he's asked, and Zim walks off smiling. Sure, GIR is still said to get distracted behind Zim's back or straight up make up information in the Show Bible, but he doesn't piss off Zim like he does in the show. It really makes them feel more like coworkers than, dare I say it, family.

PILOT ZIM JUST STOPS TO COMPLIMENT DIB'S WORK BEFORE BATTLE?? AND LIKE...DOESN'T TWIST IT OR ANYTHING HE'S JUST "WOW THAT THING YOU MADE IS COOL! YOU MUST HAVE WORKED HARD ON IT :)))" LIKE WHATTTT??!?! I know I always bring this ONE brief interaction up when talking about the pilot but I can't emphasize enough how BIZARRE of a thing this is for Zim to do.

Building on last point, Pilot Zim is much, much more capable of positive interactions with humans. He still wants to conquer them because by God, that's his job, but he doesn't seem to hate them????!?!?!? Like he actually tries twice to sit with human kids only to weird them out, the whole...Dib compliment thing[?!] and in the original rough draft, he actually THANKS Gaz for taking him home?! Like he's having a normal conversation?!! This is really odd for him since in the show, his undying hatred for humans is one of the things Zim is loudest about and he specifically chooses to sit alone at lunch.

Pilot Zim doesn't have the insane ego levels of Show Zim! He still refuses to acknowledges his flaws, is enthusiastic and proud of himself and his mission, and is VERY eager to please his Tallest, but it's very minor compared to Show Zim CONSTANTLY boasting about how AMAZING he is because HE IS ZIIIM!!!!

Speaking of, Pilot Zim lacks a LOT of Show Zim's iconic mannerisms!!! You know, the iconic big evil laughs, the "EH?!"s, the constant use of his own name, the occasional referring to himself in third person, Zim repeating himself, Zim not listening to anyone, ALL of those qualities are just straight up absent in Pilot Zim. Part of this is the less quirky writing and part of this was Richard Horvitz not getting to add his ✨️spark✨️ to the character yet.

Instead of just Richard Horvitz doing a straight up scream like "AAAAAAHH" Pilot Zim screeches with more of a "EEE! EEE! EEEE!" when panicked (which I think is adorable)

So next time y'all feel like drawing your maniac Pilot Dibs or alternate Zims, try spicing up your art with some Pilot Zim! He's like show Zim except he remembered to take his meds and you can have a semi-normal conversation with him.

Okay we all know that I love Five Kage Summit arc but what's interesting is about what happened NEXT after Naruto and Sasuke talked under that bridge. Naruto went ahead and told his friends that he'd handle Sasuke alone and naturally their reactions were how can you expect us to agree with that, we can't give in to your stubbornness, and it's pretty much an issue for the village and Naruto is like nope I'm not being stubborn and Kiba really called him out like thought you'd give us the details but I did not expect it to be this, we all made up our minds to kill Sasuke then Shikamaru really hit the nail in the coffin like you say that you'll take Sasuke alone when you're actually planning on protecting him. Naruto is like no intentions to protect Sasuke here and Neji is like Sasuke was weak at the time so why didn't you take him out and Sakura defended Naruto by saying that Madara was there then Kiba says you're a hero dude you can take him down like you did with Pain and Naruto sullenly replied that he wouldn't be able to defeat Sasuke the way that he currently is and then Choji is like what is it that you found out then Naruto fucking proceeds NOT TO EXPLAIN FURTHER and persistently says that no one should take Sasuke on and HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN FIGHT HIM as if that explanation would satisfy everyone (it doesn't) and keeps on giving them the runaround as he would tell them when the time comes. Even Sakura who was there when it happened has been mentally deliberating about what's Naruto has been hiding.

Now the interesting part is Naruto could've just explained WHY. Neji would've understood where he's speaking from as he also dealt with darkness, Shikamaru would at least try to see his point in sheer rationality making the others see his perspective but HE DOESN'T. It was a choice. Might be speaking out of the box here but with the way that everyone collectively decided to kill Sasuke behind his back, it was like a slap in the face realization for Naruto that no one really understands Sasuke like he does. And no amount of explanation would convince them otherwise--he wasn't exactly protecting Sasuke but he won't let them kill him either because killing him won't save Sasuke from his hatred. Naruto never intended to exist in a world where Sasuke dies and he made that clear in the bridge. People around them would look at their relationship like they're fucking insane but what's amusing about it is they never explained their bond to others--how can you even put into words the connection that transcends even the ninja system that fosters hatred and pain? And how can you expect the same people that unconsciously adheres to the same system to understand that?

Okay, but why the "Kannabi" Bridge? I mean, why is this called that? Turns out, this is an amazing and very beautiful metaphor.

Kakashi Gaiden analysis. Kannabi — the bridge between two worlds

I will look at this from the side of Shinto culture (based on the materials that I could find, feel free to correct me if you know more about this) and from the side of Kakashi and Obito's storylines.

Contents | cultural code · significance for the plot structure · the idea itself (this one is really important!)

Cultural code

In Shinto culture, it is not customary to divide the world into human and sacred, especially into divine and demonic principles — everything exists in harmony with each other, in a single system.

Kannabi (神奈備) refers to a region that is a shintai (repositories in which kami reside) itself, or hosts a kami. In fact, Kannabi is a place of connection between the human and the spiritual. Usually these are mountains, rivers, and forests that stand out for their beauty. These are such accumulations of natural energy, so sacred that their presence requires observance of a certain rite. So, if in relatively modern times be present next to the blossoming sakura, picnics in picturesque mountains and the like has normalized in Japanese culture, then in ancient times people did not dare to disturb mountains or groves with their presence. In such places, people performed rituals of worship to the deity, wrestling matches, divination, sacred dances, offerings, etc. The territory of the kami did not completely coincide with the territory of worship to them, people still tried to move away from the center of the sacred place so as not to bother their deity. To mark the border of entry into Kannabi, symbolic gates were installed — most often in the form of torii.

examples of kannabi in real life. Mount Fuji and Nachi Falls. [ as I understand, shintai and kannabi are synonymous concepts, but kannabi is broader in meaning. ]

It's all about how important the term is in a cultural context. A place of divine power that cannot be desecrated. From here, the Kannabi Bridge and the surrounding area can also be considered endowed with divine energy — and here the most interesting thing begins.

Significance for the plot structure

Now about the scenario composition. In general, the Battle of Kannabi, as the event itself in Kakashi and Obito's storylines, according to Joseph Campbell's «hero's journey», is a stage of transition between worlds. That's what the symbolism of the place also works for. This is the moment when the hero assumes responsibility for the beliefs he carries and their consequences, and literally or symbolically crosses the threshold between the safe and familiar world to the dangerous and unknown one, embarks on the path of reflection and prepares to meet the unconscious.

Thus, briefly speaking, Kakashi finds the strength to resolve his internal conflict in favor of his father's attitudes about the value of each Shinobi, and Obito sacrifices himself, protecting his loved ones and defending his ideals. Then their paths got separate so that each one could face with the unknown by himself.

In the context of the monomyph model, this is how the beginning of the initiation stage is demonstrated (i.e., the transition from one state to another, which is accompanied by some kind of ritual). Since Kannabi in culture is the boundary between the human and the divine, it can be concluded that this very transition is shown almost literally, thanks to the sharingan awakening and the broken tanto. This is the first turning point in history, structurally coinciding with the end of the first act.

The idea itself

And what do we see in general? In the battle of Kannabi, the religious Shinto subtext is vividly read. For the battle in a sacred place, the moral positive change of the hero (Kakashi) or his original courage (Obito) and a certain sacrifice (Kakashi's eye), the deities give a reward: the power of sharingan, which helps them save Rin, which is shared between Obito and Kakashi and in the future generally serves as a direct demonstration of the spiritual connection between them. At the same time, for the desecration of a sacred place (the goal of the mission was to blow up a bridge), heroes are punished: from this point of view, Obito's death is a certain sacrifice for the damage inflicted on the deity.

There is also information that the name of the bridge - Kannabi-kyo (神無毘橋) - can also be interpreted as «A bridge where the gods won't help». idk if it's true, but sounds cool.

Moreover, the very name of Obito's mangekyo — Kamui (神威) — literally translates as «The Power of Gods». Perhaps it is based on the mentioned concept of the place where Kakashi and Obito received the power of sharingan. And maybe that's why they call the technique the same way: because they treat it rather with such a religious meaning.

and thanks for reading to the end ♡

@bubblespinkss How would they act with their crushCan you do "How they would act with their crushes" with taiga, too. Please?<3

That's such a cute topics omg I love it. <33

How would they act with their crush

Including Umemiya, Taïga, Sakura, Suo, Kiryu

Umemiya

I think Umemiya would be the type to want to pass all his time with you. No matter what you do or what he does he just you to be there with him.

Seeing you make him feel happier, less stressed, only good feelings when you are around.

He invite you every day to go on the roof and help him with gardening.

If you don't know how to garden even better it's a chance for him to be closer to you. Obviously just to teach you nothing more~

Or if you do know how to garden he would be so impressed. Like how could you be so perfect in every way.

Umemiya would invite you to go to the little restaurant kotoha has. In fact he would like to introduce you to everyone he knows.

Everybody in the gang knows he loves you and everybody is rooting so hard for him.

Dude would give you plant and be like it made me think of you.

He would always tries to make you smile and laugh. Your laugh is such a sweet melody to his ears.

Taiga

I think Taiga would at first tries to speak lower. Kiryu once told him if he acts with that much energy and speaking so loud he would never get a girlfriend (this is canon Kiryu we love you but that's also why we love taiga.)

But boy get so excited around you he can't keep himself calm. That's fine you found that cute.

It's like being with you get him 100%more energy.

He would even do more exercise to impressed you (obviously after that he can't feel his muscle but that s fine.)

Would ask you if his muscle get bigger.

The first time he met you he ask you what was your mantra you answer right away with an answer that was such like you very confident in what you said he couldn't help to fell for you.

Will definitely ask you to come to the gym with him. If you are a beginner he would help you build a program for you. If you are not the gym would be a competition.

Always buys you food after the gym.

His smile would be so bright you would have to wear sunglass.

Sakura

This guy wouldn't even notice his feelings for you. He only realized it when Suo and Nirei pointed it.

At this exact moment his face went so red it could have explosed.

Before that his behave with you was totally normal of course he would be more carrefull and stuff but it was natural for him to act this way.

Now that his friend pointed it his face always got red whenever you a real around. He always knew he felt different with you but not at that point.

Would definitely be the type to carry your bag without even ask. He would just take it and be like I just do it cause it's the furin way that's all. He would never admit it's just because he doesn't you to lift something in front of him. He just doesn't want you to get hurt.

He would even eat your vegetables if you don't want them. Even if he doesn't like them he doesn't want you to be embarrassed about it.

Would definitely ask you to fight with him for fun. He just wanna see if you are strong or not.

Of course he would always defend you in a fight nobody can touch you but he also wanna see what are you capable of.

Suo

One of the sweetest. Such a cutie.

Always tries to make you laugh. We all know Suo is a joker he likes to crack jokes but if you are around and he makes you laugh that's even better.

The fact that he makes you laugh would give him butterflies. He would be so proud and so happy to hear you giggles and his jokes.

Would definitely be the type to buy you some gift but never let you notice it's from him.

In fact since you were yapping about how much you wanted to know who it was he started to put some puzzle like a little game between you to see if you would realized.

He knew you did when one day he went put a gift for you and he found a bag of tea at the spot he usually put his gift.

Now you just exchange gift time to time but never in person always using the same systems.

He loves spending time with you, he would ask you to come walk with him and even tries to teach you some of his moves.

Would definitely invite you drinking tea while reading a book.

Kiryu

(Help this boy is so fine. Like I'm obsessed with him having his hair like this.)

Would be so sweet around you. Like one of the sweetest just like suo.

He's such a cutie. Always remove one of his headphone when you are around. Some time even pass you one so you could enjoy music together.

Definitely made a playlist for the both of you. You guys listen to it often even when you are not together.

If you are into game he would love to play with you. Like every change he gets he asks you to join his game. The one who lose buy food for the other at the end of school.

If you are not he would try to teach you some easy game so you could okay together.

Always carry your bags that's what gentleman does.

Would come with you to get your nails done or even your hair or to buy new clothes.

He likes to match you. Like you're at a store he would picks hairpins to wear together. Even though you guys aren't a couple it still cute so you wear it anyway.

Buy you some of your latest new interest and even listen to you speaking about it for hours. He just love the sound of your voice.

.・゜゜・✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*.・゜゜・

In receiving request it makes me so happy I love you guys.🧡🧡🧡

[team7-headquarter]

Speaking from a non-romantic point of view, it's interesting to think about the importance Sakura and Naruto had to Sasuke's decision to leave the village.

It all started with Orochimaru, right? He wanted to show Sasuke how weak he was and how much more power he needed. So what did Orochimaru do? He attacked Team 7. That's the first nail on Sasuke's coffin, because while Naruto fought the giant snake and went all against Orochimaru, well, Sasuke was scared. He had made fun of Naruto before for being scared in front of an enemy and it was Naruto's turn to throw the words back at him. It was waaaay worse when Sakura reinforced that insult by telling him that Naruto was many things, but at least he was not a coward.

He fainted due the pain of getting a cursed mark and when he woke up, he realized that Sakura had almost died defending them. Sasuke always had a protective side of him with his teammates, which was evident on the Land of the Waves arc. That's why he raged and accidentally activated the curse mark when he saw that.

While it's true that Orochimaru sent the Sound ninjas just for that purpose, he was able to keep the curse mark at bay during the preliminary fight rounds on the Chunning Exams.

So really, Sasuke became insecure not only after Orochimaru's words, but mostly after Team 7 (his own team) told him he was being too weak.

Fans also forget that he gave it a shot and tried to train with Kakashi to become stronger. That was of the final round of the Chunning Exams, when he went against Gaara. You know what cemented his insecurities even further? The fact that Sakura almost got killed over defending him again, that he had to use the curse mark for more strength because his training with Kakashi wasn't enough and that even then, Naruto had to save them.

That made the resentment grow.

Even then, the detonator was Itachi (as always). To hear Itachi was going after Naruto and that he had no interest in him because Itachi considered him weak... Fatal blow.

When the Sound Four went to propose to Sasuke to leave the village, Sasuke spent the night at that tree, thinking about Naruto and Sakura. He loved them enough for it to be a problem. Enough for it to threaten his resolution to do anything for his revenge mission against Itachi. He was willing to die against Gaara to protect them, which means his dream would be over.

That's why Sasuke left. Because he realized that it was either his devotion to his team or his devotion to his revenge. He wasn't finding the right power on Konoha, not for either of those goals... So he left to achieve at least one and decided to kill the other to stop it from being in his way.

And yet, he couldn't kill Sakura and couldn't kill Naruto. He had the chances to do both things and he did none. It'd take him years for him to try and a lot of madness for him to almost succeed, but in the end their devotion to him saved him from it.

Because after he killed Itachi without knowing the truth, killing his teammates sounds like complete hell. It would mean he lost everyone again, now by his own hand. It'd be a nightmare for the Sasuke he used to be, the kid who swore to protect his precious teammates.

But I digress.

[randomprose]

no use i just do

he may not understand it, but Sakura will always love Sasuke —for ssmonth24 day 24: confessions

Haruno Sakura loves Uchiha Sasuke. She loves him in all the ways that matter despite everything and anything. 

It’s just a fact of life—a universal truth. The sky is blue, water is wet, Naruto wants to be Hokage, and Haruno Sakura has always loved Uchiha Sasuke. 

Sakura doesn’t say it or throw around the phrase as much as she used to, but she radiates it. In every look she sends his way, in every word she speaks to him, the way her eyes always find his even in a crowded room or across a sea of people, the way she gravitates to him even without meaning to, and even the way she breathes when she’s around him. Everything about her speaks of her love for him. Her very existence itself is an expression of that unyielding and unconditional love.

To this, all Sasuke could ask is, "Still? After all this time?"

Sakura just shrugs, not even bothering to defend herself. Not like there’s anything to anyhow. Sakura has never been ashamed of her love. 

"Why?" Sasuke continues to prod, truly baffled. "There's nothing—I’m not—I’m just—” I have nothing to offer. “What do you even see in me?"

“You,” Sakura answers easily without missing a beat as if that’s enough of an explanation. “Just you.”

“And that is enough for you?”

“Well,” Sakura looks considering, hands clasped behind her and expression wholly open, always open when she’s with him. “It’s not like I didn’t try to stop. I did try to talk myself into some sense, you know?” Tried to make herself see reason and consider focusing her affections on Naruto instead—strong, dependable, steady, and safe Naruto who would never hurt or make her cry. At least not knowingly. There were other candidates too, of course. Sakura has long since passed that phase of self-doubt and insecurity, has gained confidence in herself and her skills, and knows full well of her worth. “I’m fully aware that I am a catch, Sasuke-kun. Even if you’re not aware of the fact.”

“No, I am,” Sasuke replies because he is, in fact, very aware.

“Good.”

“What happened then?” If she knows she could do better—so much better—how come it’s still him she chooses? “Why haven’t you stopped?”

“What can I say? I just couldn’t,” she shrugs again and her smile is lighthearted as she says, “Looking back, it all seems so silly. I tried to stop and I just couldn’t and after some time I just gave up trying to not love you. Sure, I hated you at times,  but that’s not the opposite of love, is it? Besides,” here her smile turns rueful, “I could never truly hate you, Sasuke-kun.” 

“Why?” he asks again, a tinge of desperation seeping at the word. How can she not hate him after everything? “How can you—What’s there to love?”

"What's not to love?” 

“Don’t answer my question with another.”

“Don’t ask stupid questions,” she retorts. “What’s there to love you ask? Everything. All of you. The good and the bad and everything in between.”

“Tch,” Sasuke shakes his head. “There really is no accounting for taste.”

“That there isn’t,” Sakura laughs, then she sighs. "It's no use, Sasuke-kun. I just love you."

It is in Sasuke’s nature as an Uchiha to self-destruct. It is also in his nature to be selfish and to take without giving, but for the life of him, Sasuke could never be selfish enough when it comes to Sakura. Because everything the Uchiha touches seems to get tainted and doomed to a life of loss, destruction, and heartache, but despite everything he has taken from her—and will continue to take from her—Sasuke cannot bring himself to damn her to a similar fate. 

“You should try again. To stop,” Sasuke says, looking at her imploringly with his mismatched eyes. "I'm broken, Sakura. Beyond repair.” He doesn’t know if he’s doing her a kindness by trying to make her see sense—because maybe she’ll listen to him if her own logic fails her—but Sasuke goes on to make his case against himself anyway. “There's no use trying to fix me. I can't be fixed."

"Is that what you think I've been trying to do all this time? Fix you?” Sakura says, throwing him a funny look before rolling her eyes. "Idiot. I've always known. Even when we were genin, I knew I couldn't fix you. That's not what I was or am trying to do. It never was."

"Then what is it that you want from me."

"Nothing! I just want to love you.” And it’s the truth too. It always was. Once she realizes what she feels for Sasuke is more than just childish infatuation and passing fancy, Sakura has never asked for anything in return for her affections. “The least you could do after everything is to let me."

Sasuke meets Sakura’s gentle gaze and considers her words. 

He supposes that, despite everything, he’s always known that it was always going to be Sakura for him, that it was always going to be them in the end, even when he didn’t allow himself to think about those things.

In the lofty years of his youth, he had often thought of returning to Konoha after settling the score with his brother and finding Sakura waiting for him. He had argued to himself that she was a logical choice and the reason his mind conjured her as a first—and only—choice was because she was his closest female companion being his teammate and somewhat friend. Not to mention, he found her the least annoying of the girls who used to fawn over him, never mind why he never questioned why he found it so.

And in the rare times that Sasuke has allowed himself to think of a future for himself after accomplishing his goals—misguided as they were—and beyond the battles and the tragedies he’s faced, it is Sakura who is a constant in those musings and the only one he sees himself with, be it settling down and continuing his other goal of restoring his clan or even just simple companionship for however long the fates shall allow Sasuke’s wretched life to go on. 

The fact of the matter is, Sasuke is to his bare bones a selfish bastard who has always thought of Sakura as his—just as much as he has always been hers as he has come to realize. 

(It does not cross his mind that Sakura is as selfish and as greedy as he is, maybe even more, in the way she loves him—how she would let Konoha burn rather than hurt him, forsake her duties if it meant she could be by his side, defend him to the death against those who speak ill of him.)

"Okay," Sasuke sighs in surrender, but it is of the sweet kind. “Okay.”

"Okay?” Sakura asks, peering up at him as if in confirmation.

"Yes."

Yes, you may love me and this time I will allow myself to be loved and reciprocate in the ways I know how. This is an act of selfishness as much as it is a kindness. For both of us. 

"Good."

The smile on her face is pleased and Sasuke lets the pleasant feeling wash over him with the knowledge that he is the cause of that.

“Sakura,” he calls to her, and her name almost sounds holy as he rolls off his tongue. Reverent like a prayer or benediction. Heavy with meaning and all the things that Sasuke cannot form the words to say.

Sasuke takes his hand and moves to close the gap between them. Sakura feels herself rooted on the spot, tensing when he steps into her space and loops his arm around her in an embrace. It takes her a second to relax and her arms to come up and wound around his waist to return the embrace. A memory comes to her unbidden and she pinches the skin on his back in warning.

"If you knock me out and leave me on some godforsaken bench again, Uchiha Sasuke, I swear to all your ancestors I will—”

Sasuke chuckles and squeezes her to him to stop her tirade.

"I already apologized for that."

“Tch.” Sakura puffs her cheeks and pouts, even as she lets him hold her against him and buries her face into his chest. "Whatever."

"I'm sorry. And thank you.” Two things that have never been easy for Uchiha Sasuke to say, but no one else has ever been more deserving to hear from him as much as Haruno Sakura. “For loving me. Even after all these years. Even when I'm—” 

"Batshit insane completely off your rockers and out of control?"

"Tch." Sasuke lightly tugs at the ends of her hair in annoyance, to which Sakura only snickers. He's trying to be sincere and maybe a little romantic here dammit and there she goes and ruins it. "So annoying."

"Ehh, you love me." She looks up at him with a teasing look and a cheeky grin before catching herself. "I mean—”

Eyes never leaving hers, Sasuke takes Sakura’s hand and puts it over his chest where his heart beats for her, hoping it’s enough for her to know even when he can’t find the words and the courage to say them yet.

I do. With all my heart and soul and everything that I am in my wretchedness, I do love you.

Why I hold back about my love for Sakura This screenshot right here summarizes all my thoughts as to why, as a seasoned fan myself, and normally someone to be playing the protector for the overhated characters, I am so hesitant to be a fan of Sakura at 100%, no matter how much time passes. I get the point, manga version is peak, but I didn't read the manga growing up, for one thing, and for another, why did Studio Pierrot even think it was a good idea to be portraying Sakura this way in the anime? And why did Kishimoto never stop, or question them about this creative decision? Even he should have realized at one point or another, "Maybe, this could potentially rub people the wrong way, in the long run?".

[animeomegas]

I realized you had never done it, but maybe head cannons on how Naruto found out he was pregnant, telling his alpha, or whatever you do for the pregnancy head cannons. Sorry if this is too vague, or you don’t want to do.

Sure thing!

Naruto Finding Out He's Pregnant

This is a hilarious set of headcanons to do for Naruto because this boy had unprotected sex one (1) time and then just assumed that he was pregnant.

You pull out and he's like "well, guess I'm pregnant now. nice."

Naruto doesn't know that infertility exists other than extreme cases like getting a sword through the womb or something.

It's an easy equation for him. Unprotected sex = baby. Simple.

The worst part is this equation does work for him.

Uzumaki are insanely fertile, like, there used to be a saying before Uzushio fell that went "never stare too long at an Uzumaki because the next thing you know, they'll be chasing you for child support."

For Naruto, unprotected sex once does actually equal baby, sometimes two babies.

To answer the question though, Naruto doesn't 'find out' he's pregnant, he just assumes that he is and he's always right smh

"Hey, Naruto?"

"Yeah?"

"It's been about a month since your heat, did you want me to pick up some pregnancy tests on the way home from work tomorrow?"

Naruto stared at you for a moment, brows furrowed.

"You mean the one to find out the primary gender? Isn't it too early? Sakura said you have to wait for ages to find out!"

"What?" you asked, baffled. "No, the one to find out if you're pregnant or not."

Naruto stared at you like you were speaking a different language. Why did it feel like you were both having different conversations?

"We had sex," Naruto said slowly.

"Yes?"

"Without protection."

"Yes?"

"So, I'm pregnant."

"What?"

"What?"

Once you realised what was going on, you laughed until you cried. Naruto flushed red and tried to defend himself.

"Iruka sensei said that unprotected sex leads to getting pregnant, how was I supposed to know he lied to me!"

Of course, jokes on you when every pregnancy test you buy comes out positive.

"See!? I was right all along! 😤"

The whole situation gets worse when Naruto starts to think you were pranking him by telling him that unprotected sex doesn't always lead to getting pregnant. You have to get Sakura to beat the medical knowledge into him for him to believe you, which she can't do while he's pregnant so 🤷🏻‍♀️

But it's important to get Sakura to do that at some point before Neji admits to his fertility issues and Naruto fully asks something like "are you sure you're doing sex right?"

Naruto knows too much and too little about sex, and it's a hilarious dichotomy.

[socra-time]

Socra’s Naruto liveblog, Ep 51-60

Ep 51:

-I really like Team 10 actually

-Choji’s human ball attack looks so slow lmao, the animation probably doesn’t do it justice

-welp rip Choji

-I can’t really take Kabuto seriously, idk why but I think it’s because his character design is so… underwhelming? Like his outfit is lame-looking (yes, I know it’s because he’s a spy or whatever) and he lacks any kind of intimidating or mysterious aura

-I fully believe that Naruto would get stomped by any one of the others who made it to the third round (except Dosu and maaaaybe Shikamaru depending on how hard he tries. Oh and also Temari because from what I’ve seen so far, I don’t believe the writer would let Naruto lose to a girl). I already know Naruto beats Neji, but I’m expecting a MAJOR asspull for that to happen

-Naruto says that Gaara took down Lee “without breaking a sweat”, which is like objectively untrue. Gaara definitely broke a sweat. He literally broke his fucking FACE

-oh my fucking god Konohamaru’s trainer is back???? I thought he was a one-off character lol

Ep 52:

-Kakashi I love you but the bar for being a better teacher than you isn’t that high

-Ebisu’s pompous-ass voice is so funny, it kinda reminds me of James from Team Rocket

-also Ebisu’s explanation of Naruto’s lack of chakra control has made me wonder again how the fuck Naruto mastered Shadow Clone jutsu in the first place. Like I get that he has inhuman levels of chakra, but that doesn’t matter if he doesn’t properly know what to do with it, right?????

Ep 53:

-d-did Naruto just stick his fingers up Ebisu’s butt

-we stan Naruto calling Jiraiya out on his bullshit

-I do like Jiraiya’s voice tho

-rip Ebisu

-instead of making a hundred comments about Jiraiya’s perviness, I’m just gonna say this: ew.

-oh Naruto you sweet innocent child

-NEVERMIND JIRAIYA GOT WORSE EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

-I never want to see the fucking sexy jutsu ever again, Jesus fucking Christ

-so I realize that Naruto’s seal isn’t always visible, but how the hell did he never notice and question it before he was told about having the Nine Tails within him

Ep 54:

-oh Dosu is attacking Gaara? Yeah Dosu is about to die isn’t he

-Gaara’s voice is extra edgy in this episode lmao

-aaaaand Dosu is dead. Bro fucked around and found out

-I still can’t take Kabuto seriously as a villain

-damn shit is getting real

-I am so fucking uncomfy with these Jiraiya scenes

-Naruto summoning a tadpole was kinda funny ngl

Ep 55:

-literally all of Team 7 needs to go to mandatory therapy, INCLUDING Kakashi

-I love that Sakura is fully supportive of Lee after he defended her in the Forest of Death; her buying him a flower along with Sasuke was nice

-I’m not a fan of Ino’s bun

-Lee my poor sonnnnnn

-see Naruto and Jiraiya’s dynamic has funny moments sometimes but it’s hard to enjoy them with all the pervy shit thrown in

Ep 56:

-watching this is making me crave ramen

-Naruto going like 👉👈🥺 was really cute

-Jiraiya says that Naruto’s body is “too small a vessel” to contain the Nine Tails’s chakra, almost like they SHOULDN’T HAVE SEALED IT IN A FUCKING BABY

-I feel like we’re supposed to like the Hokage, which is making me doubt my distrust of him

Ep 57:

-I like the big toad’s voice

-ah yes gotta love having ninja child soldiers

-Naruto was gremlining so hard at the end of this episode lol

Ep 58:

-why is Gaara turning this episode into a whole-ass horror movie

-Naruto saying he has a demon inside him as a show of power while threatening GAARA of all people was pretty ironic

-Gaara really is just trauma dumping all over the place

-Naruto basically instantly recognizing the tragedy of Gaara’s situation speaks a lot to his empathy and was a surprisingly mature moment for him

Ep 59:

-I want ramen so baddddd

-I don’t know what Shikamaru’s mom looks like but her genes didn’t even try

-also shoutout to Ino’s dad and his slay-ass ponytail

-Naruto please learn some tact

-Akamaru continues to be the cutest little bean

-I feel like they only included the Konohamaru side quest to pad out this episode’s runtime

Ep 60:

-I’m glad that Kiba, Ino, and Sakura all don’t seem too bummed about the results of their preliminary matches

-welp Naruto is fucking pissed

-the Byakugan veins look so painful

-why doesn’t Naruto just summon the giant toad and make it squash Neji

-respectfully Naruto needs to learn another way of fighting besides just “spam clones”

IDIOTS TO LOVERS - Too close (04)

Previous | Masterlist | Next

You sank into the bench as you heard Eunchae's loud laughter. It was bad luck that the teacher arrived at the same time that you and Sakura were holding each other's hair and the blonde was saying she was going to kill you. It was even worse that he gave you both 3 days of detention, in addition to a pair project about "the importance of friendship." It was complete bad luck.

"You guys are so stupid." Yunjin laughed as she typed something on her phone.

"She started it!" you defended yourself.

"You kicked me!"

"You deserved it." You crossed your arms and tapped your foot impatiently.

"Couldn't you wait until you were out of school?" Chaewon looked at the two of you sitting down, a slightly irritated expression on her face. "Now we're going to have to postpone the escape room, it's your two idiots' fault."

"Sorry Chae, next time I'll wait until we're out of school and kick her ass." You kicked the girl again. "Bitch."

"Hey! No cursing when Eunchae is with us.”

“I’m only a year younger!”

“A baby.”

The three girls (Chaewon, Yunjin, and Eunchae) got into an argument about Eunchae being a baby or not, but you paid no attention, just sank deeper as you looked up and hid your hands in your pockets.

“My mom is going to kill me.”

“Don’t tell.” You looked at Sakura, who smiled mischievously “They won’t call our parents anyway, it’s senior year, they don’t care, plus you’re a good student, nerd.”

“Want to get kicked again?” She laughed and blew you a kiss.

“Come on, it’s time.” She stood up and you did the same, both of you saying goodbye to the other four girls as you headed back inside the building.

You laughed at the self-deprecating jokes the girl made on the way to the classroom where you were supposed to stay after school, you mentally thanked yourself for bringing hobby stuff in your backpack, it shouldn't be so bad to be there.

"Is that it?" Sakura looked out the window and you noticed the smile appearing on her face "I think you'll be happy to be here."

"What? Why?" you pushed the girl so you could also look out the window, as soon as you saw Hanni next to Haerin, you felt your cheeks heat up and moved away.

"Damn, you turned red." you slapped the girl on the shoulder, a note for her to speak more quietly and be quiet, but the two girls inside the room heard the voices, except for the teacher who was wearing headphones and didn't even notice the presence of the two of you outside the room.

"Shut up, let's just go inside and go to the back of the room."

"Why not next to them? Let's make friends."

"Do you want to make friends with my fist?"

"Ugh, I stopped." You made room for the girl to open the door.

You looked down from the moment you entered, just greeting the teacher and going to the last chairs, Sakura sitting in front of you and laughing at how embarrassed and nervous you were. Haerin also noticed this and turned to Hanni, who raised an eyebrow.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Y/n-unnie gets all shy when you’re around.” She stated and approached the Australian girl. “You should talk to her.”

“Why should I?”

“Ask her why she’s here.”

“I already know why, she and Sakura were fighting and the teacher saw it.” Haerin rolled her eyes “And she doesn’t get shy just when she’s around me.”

“Yes, she also gets shy when people talk about you.”

“That’s stupid.” The girl turned more to Haerin, but she ended up looking away at you, only for a split second but your friend didn’t fail to notice.

“You want her so bad.”

“No! Shut up.” Hanni slapped the younger girl on the shoulder, trying to silence her, but she only got a low laugh from the girl.

You grabbed a card game from your backpack and Sakura turned to you, just enough to keep the teacher from seeing what you were doing. In fact, he didn't even care about that anymore. His only rule was that you didn't kill each other, but you only found that out later.

"Why don't you call them?" the girl smiled mischievously.

"Why don't you play?" she laughed and looked back a little.

"I heard Hanni is good at it, you're so bad, it's annoying to always win."

"Huh? Who are you calling bad?" you got a little closer. "I'm going to beat you."

"Let's bet." you waited to hear her proposal. "If you win, I'll pay for dinner, but if I win... You're going to talk to Hanni."

"What?! No." she smiled (maybe a little meanly).

"You think you won't win, huh? You're such a wimp.” She crossed her arms.

“Of course not! I can win… But what would I say to her?”

“That's your problem.” You rolled your eyes.

“Fuck it, I'm going to win anyway.”

You slammed your head on the table, a loud noise that caught the attention of the other two girls in the room, but you didn't care, you were defeated, most importantly, you would have to pay for your own dinner tonight. Sakura laughed at how pathetic you sounded now, after saying you would win so many times and that you would do it with your hands behind your back and your eyes closed, but you didn't win even with your eyes open.

“Stop being such a sore loser, make your part of the bet now.” you raised your head.

“What should I tell her?”

“I don't know, I already told you that this is your problem, go now before I call her.” a sigh left your lips and you looked at the girl from afar, a shiver ran through your body and you looked away to the girl in front of you “No no no, don't give me that puppy dog ​​look, it was a bet, go now, do you want me to call her to make it easier?”

“Can't it be something else? I can pay for a barbecue.” she seemed intrigued by the proposal “With dessert... And maybe a drink?”

“You irresponsible girl, today is Wednesday and you're offering me a drink? Go do what you have to do.” you sighed and looked again.

Maybe by some miracle, Haerin asked to go to the bathroom and left Hanni alone, which you saw as an opportunity. You walked slowly towards Hanni who was looking out the window, you lightly touched her shoulder, your fingers anxiously fiddling with the fabric of your skirt.

“Hanni…” you called her softly and got her attention almost immediately.

“Y/n, hi.” She smiled nicely, it made your body heat up and your stomach churn.

“I…” you could barely make out any words, you should have thought before “It’s just…”

“Are you okay? You look sick.” She came a little closer and placed the palm of her hand on your forehead.

“I’m fine… Thanks, actually I was wondering… Well… You know, we have this history project to do, I was wondering if you already had a partner?” She seemed a little confused and you played with your fingers, she pulled her hand away and smiled.

“Actually I don’t yet.”

“D-do you want to do it with me? I-I think you would be a good partner, you know…”

“Actually it sounds great, I would love to.” You watched the girl search for something in her pocket, a little surprised that she had actually agreed to do the job with you. “Can you give me your number? So we can talk about it.” You agreed and took the phone from her hand, your hands were a little shaky and even a little sweaty from nervousness. Hanni noticed how your hands were shaking a little as you typed in the number. You handed her the phone and she smiled. You felt your cheeks heat up even more. “Thank you, I’ll talk to you later.”

“I’ll wait.” Why did I say that? Hanni laughed lightly and you saw it as an opening to go back to your seat.

“At least you didn’t faint.”

“Yet.”

Welcome back! :D

So I just read the papa Hercules and daughter Mitsuri headcanons and is it possible if you can do another crossover but this time Mitsuri being the daughter of Hades and a Persephone!Reader?.

I understand if you can't and I hope you had a wonderful vacation!

-The day you were born was the day the underworld kingdom was full of joy, celebration, and life, and it was one of the few times in his life, that Hades wept tears of joy.

-It was also the day that Hades realized what responsibilities came with having a daughter. Persephone on the other hand was much calmer, but she was amused to see Hades being so protective about you.

-As you grew, they realized that you were extra special, as your strength rivaled Hercules’ own by the time you were five, something your much older cousin loved and found amusing, and your hair became a bright combination of pink and green, similar to the beautiful flowers your mother grew, but your father thinks it’s from you constantly eating Sakura Mochi, your favorite food, but either way it made you look adorable.

-Speaking of eating, Hades was stunned, but not at all bothered, by your appetite which was tremendous, being able to eat multiple portions in one sitting.

-When you were old enough for a checkup with the doctors of Valhalla, the three of you learned that your strength and appetite went hand in hand and weren’t actually part of your goddess abilities. Your muscles were extremely dense, giving you your strength, and due to them being so dense, your metabolism was very high which led to your large appetite.

-Your parents were supportive and very protective of you, both of them fiercely defended you when someone would insult your appetite or unnatural strength or your oddball hair color.

-Hades wouldn’t hesitate to pull out his bident and threaten those who insulted you, having to be pulled back, usually by Persephone, but as you grew older, your mother grew more protective of you, as she wanted to raise you with happiness and freedom, choosing a different path from her mother, but if someone insulted you and if you cried especially, she would be the attacking force while you and Hades hugged each other, terrified of your mother.

-As you grew older, you blossomed into a stunning beauty, even your aunt Aphrodite said so, in awe of your refreshing, natural beauty.

-This came with new problems for the king of the underworld, suitors come from all over Valhalla to ask for the princess’s hand, all of which were refused of course, because in Hades’ eyes, there is nobody good enough for you.

-Persephone tried to talk to him about this, as you were at that age where you were curious about boys, and Hades chasing them all off were making things hard for you.

-Hades was firm and determined, not willing to lose his precious little princess to anyone!!

-It was your mother who introduced you to a nice young man, a minor snake god, named Obanai, who was stunned by your sweet and gentle nature, your stunning good looks, and that you weren’t scared of him at all.

-Persephone wanted you to be happy and she was willing to run interference with Hades while you and Obanai got to know each other.

-She would be your support if things moved forward and you wanted to introduce Obanai to your parents, something you warned Obanai about early on.

[obitoanon]

I think we need to have a serious discussion in the fandom about the misogyny that permeates every corner of it.

Sakura. Ino. Tsunade. Karin. All the female characters that are pitted against the male characters.

Ok without wasting time with a preface because this crap is as old as Shippuden, this is why I'm speaking out:

Calling Sakura ugly is misogyny. Calling her ugly and wrinkled and a pedophile by loser "fans" just to push Sasuke with Karin, over a SHIP. Is very disturbing. I'm aware that most of the fandom is polluted with kids who learned how to talk to a girl through 4chan. But these kinds of blogs deserve to be called out.

The word misogyny gets thrown around so much it now means nothing to most users. So I'm going to go with prepubescent twinks who hate women and speak on women in the most derogatory terms, because they were raised on the internet and have never had any real interactions with women outside of anime characters. The same kind of fans who call women they know stupid. The same kind of fans who laugh at women in public for dressing in clothes. The same kind of fans who call girls SLUTS for taking birth control. For having periods.

So for those asshats who don't know how braindead and ABUSIVE they sound, here's a common sense reminder.

Hateful:

Calling female anime characters ugly, wrinkled, pedophiles, bitches, whores, cunts, sluts, useless, predatory, whoresluttramps, sexual props, pussies, commenting on their ages, props for the men in various colorful language, tramps, using immature phrases such as "sakura is a bitch who needs to shut her whore mouth" "ino is so tough she's practically a dude" "karin has no point but to be sasuke's bitch" etc. Using ludicrous degenerative made up canon bs like sakura is a pedophile for pursuing Sasuke. Posting lewd over the top sexual art of the female characters (often AI), though there's so much of that in anime and manga it's basically a part of anime culture.

Acceptable:

I don't enjoy sakura's character bc she does this and this action. She tends to be aggressive (which I can argue with but whatever). She uses whatever tactics to get her way. I don't enjoy Ino's character bc of whatever [personality traits].

Pathetic and Cringe:

I hate Sakura bc she's a female character and female characters in anime tend to be stupid.

Welcome to the "I am misogynistic to the bone and I have never learned how to respect a woman in my life" club.

Acceptable:

I stan Sakura/Ino/Tsunade etc BC she's a female character and BC they are hot. I love and respect pretty anime girls!

Hateful:

I stan anime girls because they're sex objects and I don't see a point to them otherwise.

Yikes.. rapey much?

I don't care what you ship. Who you ship. Which characters you deathly stan to the nth degree. Take a long hard look at your internal misogyny because I will bet most of the fandom at some point has had hateful thoughts about any of the Naruto females. To the point where you will make endless posts defending WHY Sakura ESP is so "annoying".

How we talk about fictional women says a lot about how our brains developed and for the user above, it is very, very disturbing that fans are ready to BASH females so readily just to defend Sasuke to be with whoever. That is textbook misogyny. It's very often just brushed under the rug.

Women have enough hate thrown at us by rapey guys IRL to come online and see this absolute trash. And I've been in this fandom long enough to see the evidence. I've seen all of it and enough of it.

I'm not removing myself from introspection. But, I honestly could care less who Sasuke fucks or marries or has babies with. I don't ship anyone (except Obirin and possibly Konan/Yahiko and Kakashi/Iruka is cute ngl, secretly Kakuzu/Tsunade, and well Mads/Hashirama BUT NOT TO ANY REAL DEGREE (except obirin).

I will be calling out blogs I see who are blatantly hateful of the female characters. Count on it. Tobi doesn't stan that shit. As a person with a brain we all should.

And before Sasuke fans come at me I didn't say it's ok to call Sasuke any of that either. Sasuke isn't abusive. He didn't lead Sakura on. He's not a bad dad.

AND IF ANYONE COMES AT RIN TOBIOBI WILL MURDER!!!!!!! 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
