#sasuke's version ahaha

[liam-cadmus]

Sasuke slowly blinks his eyes, as the light shines from the window, the offending light making his sensitive eyes close in response. He lets out a silent grunt, as one arm escapes from where it’s twined with Shikamaru, gently prodding it away.  He uses his freed hand to rub his tired eyelids, stifling a yawn with his palm afterwards. He slowly detaches his limbs, gently laying his tired, overworked lover back to bed, tucking the blankets around him. he coos a bit when hands latch on his shirt, grip tight and unrelenting. “I’ll be right in the kitchen, don’t worry.” he tells him, his hands closing over Shikamaru’s and pulling it away. He pecks his partner’s forehead, slowly trailing to his nose, then cheeks, before leaving a swift one on the lips. He chuckles quietly at the groan of frustration Shikamaru lets out, as he slips from the bed. He closes the curtains shut, before leaving the door open, as he walks to the kitchen.  He avoids the urge to grind the coffee beans, considering that Shikamaru stayed awake so late, and that he has a bit of an addiction to caffeine. He fills the kettle, whistling a tune that had gotten stuck on his head because of his lover’s humming. He pours the hot water to the tea pot, letting it steep for a few minutes before straining it to two mugs. He decides that he’ll just prepare tea again later, and not let the extra one to waste. “I’m surprised you’re preparing tea, it’s unlike you.” Shikamaru drawls sleepily, making him turn his head on the direction of the noise. “Do you honestly expect me to brew coffee when you clearly haven’t slept much?” he retorts before placing the tea back down. “...No.”  He sighs before walking closer to Shikamaru, raising an eyebrow. “You look dead on your feet, do you want tea?” he asks, even though he knows the other man is far too sleepy to stay awake. A mumbled disagreement and a silent ‘I’m not tired’ as a retort is heard before he clicks his tongue softly, reprimanding the man in an albeit exasperated tone. “Back to bed, you look like shit.” Shikamaru scowls at him, offended, before relenting to his insistent tugging to the bed. “You’re tired, just sleep please?” he asks, fondly smiling when he feels the taller man slouching on his back, eyes barely open.  “Idiot.” is the affectionate whisper he utters before making Shikamaru lay back down on the bed. He watches with an adoring gaze as his partner settles back down, letting out a discontented noise at the lack of warmth on his side.  Seeing his partner buried under their blankets and dozing off always gave a warm tender feeling to his bones, the flames overheating him hotter than his clan’s scolding fire jutsus. Emotions overwhelm his whole being, breaking whatever stoic mask he used.  Shikamaru deserves to be pampered every once in a while, the man hardworking to fulfill everyone’s needs. He’s Sasuke’s refuge, his escape, and he’s very appreciative of all the work he’s done, and besides, his urge to indulge Shikamaru is rising again.  The stubborn, independent Nara has his limits, and Sasuke will make sure he’s there for him, will do anything just to be in the genius’ arms. He thinks it’s fair that he can be a doting lover, after all, Shikamaru was there to catch him, even though so many people are relying on him.  Contrary to popular belief, Shikamaru does not have complete confidence on himself, always anxious if the plans that he gives is correct, and that no one’s gonna get affected if he got it wrong. (Sasuke just wants him to see that he’s brilliant, that he’s very clever and that he shouldn’t think he isn’t. Sadly, he’s just one man, but he can see the thankful smile and the way his partner perks up ever so slightly.) He wants scowl and glower at the people who think Shikamaru is everything but kind, who thinks he’s condescending, boastful rude being, even though the genius is just far too blunt and honest, that he accidentally insults people without meaning to. He wants people to see that the smartest shinobi of their generation is just human, and that he’s breaking under the stress and pressure. The Nara he’s seen is the one who works so damn hard and that no body gives credit for the things he do, the one who was thought of independent and left alone by the other jounins and chunins, even though he can’t do everything by himself. The Nara that goes out to watch the clouds or nap after doing so much work and only gets judged for being lazy. The one that would push aside his work and problems, just to tell him other stories with a sweet smile, his tan, soft, deft hands intertwining with his own. He’s protective person by heart and by clan, attaching himself to someone with his whole being and consciousness, that he would break if he’s separated with his loved ones. Shikamaru is the only man, the only person who can make an Uchiha like him to lose his calm and collected persona, the one who can turn him from a stone cold-hearted warrior to a attentive, caring man with just a smile. He would let his defenses fall, his unbreakable pride to shatter to millions of pieces without thinking twice, the one who would make him kill platoons of enemies just to keep him safe.  He knows Shikamaru, so much, that he would trade everything, because he loves fiercely.  He shakes himself out of his thoughts, before hurrying along, knowing that Shikamaru hates not having warmth beside him while sleeping, which he admits that he also hates. He swiftly makes a hearty breakfast, letting miso soup boil as the rice cooks in the saucepan, while cooking eggs with furikake. He grills a bit of fish, placing some cherry tomatoes in his own plate. He spares a glance to the window, only to see a light orange hue passing through the transparent glass, the light just reaching the meadows, sun peeking out of the horizon. He places the food in the stasis seal, the food kept warm. He pushes the door ajar slightly, as he sits by the edge, thumb pressing on his knee. He extends his hands to Shikamaru’s loose unruly locks, the hair tie by the pillow. His Sharingan accidentally activates as he lets his gaze over his partner, memorizing every inch, eidetic memory proving helpful, the image ingrained in his mind separated from the bad ones.  “Stop that,” a sleepy grumble, as his Sharingan shuts off fast as lightning, making him a bit dizzy from the abrupt cut of chakra to his eyes. Shikamaru rolls his eyes, before tugging him closer, making him the one to be the little spoon this time, throwing a leg over him.  He quietly exhales, eyes closing as Shikamaru’s earthy, calming chakra soothes his nerves, grounding him. He stays silent as his fingers trace random shapes onto Shikamaru’s back, eyes unfocused. He feels the rhythmic beating of Shikamaru’s heart from where his ear is pressed against, air blowing against his bedridden hair. Minutes pass by without his notice, before the pads of tan fingers trace the seals on either side of his eyes, thumb grazing it lightly with chakra, the pathways smoothing out with the pleasant touch. “Why did you just sit there? You could’ve just laid down beside me.”  “Hn, I don’t know,” he offers a shrug, raising his eyes to Shikamaru’s nose bridge, absent-mindedly avoiding his eyes. “Stop avoiding eye contact, Su, it’s fine.” His mouth opens to an O shape before flicking it to warm brown eyes, not noticing he’s been doing it. “Force of habit.”  A sigh was let out before his partner asks, “Do you wanna talk about the nightmare?”  He contemplates the question in his head, knowing that Shikamaru is just genuinely curious and wouldn’t press him if he doesn’t want to. “Not right now, maybe later?” he asks, earning a understanding hum.  “Now, did you get enough sleep?” he asks with narrowed eyes, a concerned lilt to his voice. “Enough?”  “Did you get at least 4 hours of sleep?” he asks instead, huffing. “You’re such a mother hen, I’ve slept most of the afternoon yesterday, so I could stay up.” A amused glint is present in the deep sepia eyes, an irritating fond smirk present on chapped lips.  “But you admit you like the affection? Baby?” he teases, liking the color of his partner’s cheeks and ears turning red. “Sappy shit.” Shikamaru tiredly mumbles, before he sits up, melodramatically sighing out loud. “Come on, let’s eat breakfast.” Shikamaru urges, disappearing to the bathroom, a reminder echoing out.  “We have forever to spend on, I know, just come brush your teeth, Sas.”  ‘And you’d wake up beside me for every sunrise for however long forever lasts.’ Part 1 | Shikamaru

Domestic Sasuke AU Headcanon List

Domestic!Sasuke is an AU where Sasuke retires from being an active shinobi after Sarada is born.

But in my version of the AU there's a lot little more to it than that! This basically details all of the important changes that come with this AU.

Putting under a read more because this got long as fuck.

In this AU, Sasuke is brought back to Konoha similar as the canon series. He is interrogated for information on things like Orochimaru's research, the movements of Oto while he was affiliated with them, and any other information that may deem worth Konoha knowing. All of which he gives up willingly.

He is sentenced to one year probation in which he cannot leave the village, unless his presence is otherwise specifically required. He can do whatever he wants, missions included, as long as it's within Konoha.

Less than a house arrest, the probation is supposed to be an adjustment period to allow Sasuke to settle back into village life, situate the Uchiha estate, adjust to his lack of an arm, and focus on stabilizing his physical and mental health.

Now in Sakura's Story, we know that Sakura works on establishing help centers dedicated to helping children with their mental health and trauma across the shinobi nations. I like to think that within the village she was already pushing for better focus on mental health for shinobi.

--

Part of this adjustment period is Sasuke receiving counseling, both for anything he experienced while he was away and for what he experienced as a child. When Anko heard they were trying to find the best choice for counselor for Sasuke upon his return, she very firmly volunteered. As someone who went through some fucked up shit as a kid, she’d been working on becoming trained to help other shinobi youth.

I think the potential student-mentor relationship between Sasuke and Anko, given their shared experiences with the curse mark and Orochimaru, is woefully underutilized and unexplored.

The first few months are bad. Despite having returned willingly to Konoha, Sasuke's mental health is a mess. After years of emotional and physical trauma and keeping his mental barriers locked tight, finally being in a position where he can potentially feel safe makes him pretty much shut down. (A common occurrence for people once they get out of unsafe environments into safe ones.) Anko starts helping him work through all the layers and layers of shit and baggage he has backed up in his brain.

--

Interestingly enough, Sasuke finds himself spending a lot of time with Lee. Lee's energy reminds him a lot of Naruto and it begrudgingly endears Lee to him, only there’s something much more calming about sparring with Lee than Naruto. (Their dynamic comes to resemble Gai and Kakashi somewhat, but Lee is just a little sweeter and Sasuke just a little more serious.)

Sasuke and Sai oddly hit it off in their own strange way? There's a moment of tension between them on their first amicable reintroduction, but Sasuke has a much easier time communicating with him than Naruto and Sakura did upon meeting Sai. Even if Sasuke is wildly thrown off by the explicit and straight forward thing Sai often says.

As for Naruto and Sakura? They’re his most important people, always have been, even if he had to deny it to himself and others for years. Reconnecting with them isn’t... hard, but it’s awkward. Navigating this once familiar space, a space he spent so long rejecting feels strange and sometimes he feels ashamed or embarrassingly unworthy.

This entire relationship is built on the idea that he never genuinely tried to kill either Naruto or Sakura. It was either him putting on a show or him trying to convince himself he could, but he never would have gone through with it.

Sasuke also has much more meaningful moments with both of them individually where he apologizes to them. The terrible things he’s done and said are addressed and he makes it a goal to repent.

Sasuke enjoys talking about medical things with Sakura. He heard and learned a lot about medical science - especially dubious practices - while aligned with Oto, so they bond over talking about how fucked up some of the stories Sasuke shares. Sasuke gets a kick out of her mutual disgust, indignation, and reluctant intrigue. He also takes special interest in things she has to share about eyes.

While Sasuke will never not be Sasuke, his rekindling friendship with Naruto is, for the first time, not based on a foundation of pride and resentment. Naruto is still loud and annoying at times, but there’s also a feeling of freedom when they’re together. There’s nothing hanging over their heads anymore.

Nearing the end of his year, Sasuke begins to get increasingly restless. He's made wonders in his progress, but a lot of demons still pull at his subconscious.

He begins taking missions out of the village again, he and Sakura grow closer romantically, and life settles into something resembling peaceful, but the nagging itch that he's not doing enough is a persistent one.

In this AU, everyone doesn't settle into married life and have kids so early. Everyone has a bit more time as adults, a bit more time to figure themselves out and to court each other, before some of them finally have families years down the line.

During this, Sasuke catches wind of more and more ugliness in the world. He organizes with Tsunade to allow him to spend more time on long term missions targeting and working to uproot systems of severe crimes like human trafficking and slavery, something we see him doing a bit of in canon.

These missions can sometimes yield child victims and he corresponds regularly with Sakura and her health centers to organize for them to be taken in.

He's back and forth between Konoha and his missions over the years. Gone no where near as often as in canon, but sometimes gone for months at a time for particularly deep missions, but still works as a regular Leaf ninja on call for missions when he's home.

He does still struggle with a feeling of obligation and guilt sometimes due to his actions in the past, and there was maybe one year where he tried to isolate himself from the village partly for these reasons, another being because he felt his Sharingan drew enemies, but Naruto and Sakura set him straight. There weren’t about to him spiral back down to that abyss.

He is often accompanied by Naruto, Sakura, Sai, Lee, Anko, and a number of other of his friends in numerous situations over the years. He also accompanies Sakura on her rounds to check on centers' progress from time to time.

Team Taka no longer works with Orochimaru (because fuck that noise, is Orochimaru even alive in this AU??), and maybe join Konoha or work in Konoha affiliated establishments? (What do they do?? What are their goals??? Who knows, haven’t thought that far ahaha) Karin probably connects with Naruto over their shared Uzumaki lineage. Juugo might work in one of Sakura’s centers.

By the time Sasuke and Sakura finally decide to get married they've had years to address their pasts and spend time together.

It's when Sakura gets pregnant that Sasuke begins to reevaluate just exactly where he wants to be in life. He's spent so many years fighting. He's been fighting for recognition, revenge, redemption since before he was eight years old and realizes he... he's tired.

He's never allowed himself to rest because he's always felt like there was something he was supposed to be doing. And he realizes he doesn't want to fight to feel allowed to exist anymore.

He wants... He wants to be there for Sakura. He wants to be there for his baby. And with a little help from the Sakura and Anko, he learns that that's *okay*. That despite all the ugliness still out there, he has a right to put his own desire to be with his family first, that he can trust the good people in his life to take on the responsibility of helping save the world while he takes time to be there for the ones who need him.

Bonus Headcanons that come with this AU:

Hinata is still a ninja

Neji is alive

Tsunade is Hokage for longer instead of stepping down to let Kakashi take over

Mom aged Hinata get a Better Haircut

Yamato isn’t Orochimaru’s keeper

Konoha doesn’t work with Orochimaru (Maybe he’s dead? Maybe Kabuto takes his place?)

[mipadremadara]

if you don't mind me asking a lot about the fic thing, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 (LMAO. all the list😂😂😂) for "Summer Nights"?? I REALLY NEED TO CAUGHT UP!!!! (You obviously can answer telling things about chapters I haven't read, btw, it's okay, haha). And if it's too much, you can answer just a few, hahaha. I'm just really curious because I reallyyyyy love the fic. ILY💖💖

Ahh thank you so much for this ask!!! Every time I get an ask from you my face immediately lights up ahaha. I'm so glad you like the fic??? Ahhhh! Ily too!! I hope you're having a nice day/night! I’ll only do Chapter 1 and 2 for now as to not spoil much! (I’m not sure which chapter you finished on haha.)

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

I really really really like stories that just flow. That literally drift. I have no idea how to describe it, but I also love poetry and I thought by kind of incorporating that and a sort of movie vibe to it it'd capture people's hearts the way it haunts mine at night hahaha. 

 2: What scene did you first put down?

It must be the scene where Naruto is sitting outside the porch and looking at the night sky. The title is Summer Nights, after all! It's supposed to hint at the fact that Naruto and Sasuke share the most tender moments at night.

3: What’s your favorite line of narration?

There's so many that I like tbh!! But here are some of my favorite ones without spoiling too much!!

Chapter 1:

The man knew Sasuke would get rid of every photographic memory of his past and there would be no remaining snapshots of his lifetime left. Behind the everyday smiles and poking around the playgrounds, fairgrounds, Sasuke never dwelled on the topics that resurfaced even the slightest of human, perhaps weak emotions. And so was the shameless irony, pouring out, like vomit. 

I wanted to capture the sense of lingering trauma that still haunts Sasuke everyday. No matter how life seemed to come to a halt, or how things seemed to finally settle down, the pain will always prevail. And in a way, Naruto is the same, even if he masks it well. I feel like this was never truly explained so I wanted to show that they are still hurting; the wounds that were meant to heal only left bitter scars in the end.  

Writing from Sasuke’s POV is always very emotion-centered. I’d imagine Sasuke, as shown in the fic, is a little more open, especially around Naruto. He let his walls down, although not by choice. He had to prove to Konoha he changed, but around Naruto, he can truly be himself.

The Uchiha was all tall, strong arms and long fingers. He fondled them for a passing minute, pressing the raven’s palms against his own. After the War, they grew quite intimate, and really, everyone talked about it. He always looked forward to touching Sasuke, even if it was small, feathery nudges - like holding hands or giving each other small hugs. It reminded him how truly privileged he was to be around him. He savoured those bosom jiffies, and that night was no different.

I really like the fact that their relationship isn’t driven by lust, but more so an understanding. There’s a mutual connection here; two boys going through absolute Hell and finally close to settling down after a rough battle against the odds. No one knows Sasuke the way Naruto does and vice versa, I think it’s quite beautiful actually! Sasuke allowing himself to become intimate again by taking these baby steps, such as touching hands and small hugs, it’s very healing for the both of them! 

They stood still in that bleached moment. The love, the joy; it was burning passionately, bringing nothing but bloom to the cheek; showing no reruns. The smile, he considered a gift.

I just really love this bit. Reading it always makes me so soft haha. I think it sums up their whole relationship perfectly. 

Chapter 2:

Sakura made him feel like an utter imbecile. Like a love-struck damsel in distress.

Here, what Sakura really sees isn’t Naruto, but herself. She knows what it’s like to chase after Sasuke, and as much as she loves the two of them, she doesn’t want Naruto to get hurt. I just think this line was really cool haha. 

People often told Sasuke how he blended into the background while Naruto stood out from the crowd when they were together. Maybe that was why everyone deemed him worthy of being the next in line. They were polar opposites; like warm and cold. Fire and water. They just didn't fit. Supposed everyone told them similar scenarios, but they did not care much about the public and its predetermined ideas of what was right and what wasn't. It was arguably, the most bizarre finger-pointing he had the displeasure of witnessing. But he guessed Naruto loved the attention.

I really like this line, and not just because of the imagery used here, but because it shows how others see Naruto and Sasuke’s relationship. And also, that short dismissive ending paragraph I found to be super effective. 

The other girl, Hinata, made an attempt to lean forward to catch Naruto’s gaze. It was what made everyone lean towards her, too, no less in a charming way that she perhaps knowingly radiated. It caused Ino to take a step back, and Sasuke must’ve stood there for a few moments, listening to the soft mumbling of her lips. They began to ask Naruto questions in low, hushed, thrilling voices as if not to let Sasuke know any of it. He knew the girl had lost her brother during the War (at which he had expressed his deepest sympathy), but he couldn’t shake off the feeling that maybe Naruto was being deceived by her shy persona.

I loved describing Hinata, but not for the reasons you might think. No one aside from Naruto has been described in such detail, but Hinata. It’s to show that Sasuke, since it’s from his POV, considers her to be a competition. He knows she knows that she can easily woo people to do her bidding, and considering her status, Naruto would certainly be charmed. 

Hinata’s own voice held a timid passion behind it; a pleasant, mellow tenor that was very subtle, especially in the way her every uttered word suggested something greater than her face might have unveiled. Her face - on the other hand - was lovely. Caring eyes and a caring mouth conveying nothing but a feeling of fresh honey and lavender. Her hands looked smooth to the touch when she grazed them against Naruto’s rather tacky ones; as if she had never worked a day in her life. He could tell Naruto enjoyed looking at her.

Again, Sasuke knows this persona that Hinata created was quite deceiving and had Naruto wrapped around her finger. That is what he thinks, and as usual, assumes things because Naruto and Hinata are close. I also really like her description here, it radiates such soft vibes haha. 

He marveled in the way his laugh carried throughout the day, forcing even the biggest assholes in the universe to crack a smile.

I really like this line because Sasuke is talking about himself here; that Naruto is always successful at making him smile. 

The attachment to the outside world and the growth of his dubious mind was what made Sasuke overthink certain situations. The way it tangled, twisted, and knotted. He wanted to fondle Naruto's hands, listen to his heartbeat as his eyes grew heavy.

Agape; the sign of unconditional love. For his one and only.

I mean? These lines absolutely slap I think haha. 

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

I didn’t want to add too many so I just included a couple!

Chapter 1:

“You know, if you continue to frown like that, you’ll have lots of wrinkles in the future.”

I just love Sasuke’s attempt at comforting Naruto haha. 

Chapter 2:

“Don’t piss in my ear and tell me it’s raining, Sasuke.”

I just,, love this line so much. It always cracks me up hahaha. And of course, it’s Kakashi’s line. 

5: What part was hardest to write? 

Honestly? Probably the scene where they spar in the third chapter, as well as Gaara and Naruto's reunion! I loved writing it, but having to balance so much dialogue and narration was challenging.

6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics?

What makes it special, well, it's my first fanfic! I tried writing one for so long, about 4 years! And being able to finally write something and share it with others feels amazing and so relieving after so long. 

 7: Where did the title come from?

The title came from this song called Summer Nights by Siames! I think it suits Naruto and Sasuke perfectly! It's such a nice song, it always makes me cry when I listen to it haha.

8: Did any real people or events inspire any part of it?

Many, if not all interactions are based on me and my girlfriend's conversations! There are so many and she always points it out to me after reading the newest chapter.

9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?

There was, actually! At first I wanted to write an AU canonverse version of the Akatsuki, where Naruto is exiled from the village and reunites with Sasuke. Because in this house we love evil Naruto and Kurama. But then I wanted to write something soft, something tender yknow? 

Again, thank you so much for asking!!! <3 

[container-of-apple-juice]

This is gonna be a little personal rant about the Naruto Experience™ - feel free to disregard because I literally never expected people to follow this shit-show of a blog to begin with ahaha

[[MORE]]

I love this show, I love all the characters (forgoing the shittily written ladies, it’s a tragedy but I rewrite them in my head and love all their sick fuckin skills) and I love the animation. I love watching fights because the animation is so slick and focused during major battle sequences.

But? For some reason I find myself sort of avoiding or putting off actually watching it. For context, I’m on episode 231 of Shippuden, meaning I’ve watched 451 got damn episodes of this show in totality. And I LOVE it. Such a cool concept for a show; Naruto might be my favorite protagonist ever.

So why do I find myself watching anything else I can find before going back to it?

My first thought is that it’s because I’m queer, and can’t relate to the characters as easily. But Naruto rarely focuses on romance or sexual attraction. So why?

And I think it just comes back to the fact that, when these characters I’ve grown so attached to (I’m a dude so I switch between personally relating to Naruto, Sasuke and Shikamaru) DO end up showing some sort of vulnerability - even when it’s not romantic or sexual- it’s just so painfully straight, and I would even say bigoted at times, that it really jars me out of the whole experience.

Like, the last episode I watched was Naruto’s shadow-clone-centric episode, “Revenge of the Shadow Clones.” And I readily admit to loving the filler episodes because they allow us to see casual nuances to these dramatized characters, right? But, for instance, in the shadow clone episode, there’s such a GLARINGLY obvious gay joke that they intertwine with this sense of nuance. The Feminine Naruto Clone - I cant imagine it was added as anything more than a gay joke if I’m honest. Just Naruto seeing a feminine version of his male self and being uncomfortable with it.

As a feminine fuckin dude, it’s fucking painful to watch a character I admire adamantly refuse to accept this side of himself to the point that it becomes comedic relief. I wrote a whole long emotional spiel about it that I haven’t posted. In this spiel I afford the episode a bit more slack when it comes to its obvious mockery of feminine men than I actually presume it deserves.

I love these characters. I love watching their lives unfold dramatically in intricately animated sequences, but when it’s interspersed with this clearly bigoted ideology it makes it painful to keep watching even though I really do want to watch the full narrative.

Yes romance and identity politics are like 0.5 percent of this show, but....that 0.5 percent being so queer-baiting and queer-hating makes it tough to stomach. (Don’t even get me started on Naruto and Sasuke’s “ugh! Ew! Gross! So embarrassing and wrong!” kisses)

And even putting queer discourse aside, the absolute disparaging representation of anything feminine at all (the way girls and boys are portrayed as polar opposites) is so painful to watch.

Idk this is just fuckin anime and no one cares this much and I probably sound like a lunatic? But uh, life is rough buddy and this is my hot take.

Ima keep fuckin watching it lol but FUCK if ima watch Boruto

The OTP Game

Pick your 10 top OTPs without reading the questions: 1.  Mimato (Yamato Ishida × Mimi Tachikawa — Digimon Adventure) 2.  Clerith (Cloud Strife × Aerith Gainsborough — Final Fantasy VII) 3.  Zutara (Zuko × Katara — Avatar: The Last Airbender) 4.  VaniHopu (Hope Estheim × Oerba dia Vanille — Final Fantasy XIII) 5.  LuluShir (Lelouch Lamperouge × Shirley Fenette — Code Geass: Hangyaku no Lelouch) 6.  KAIMiku (KAITO × Miku Hatsune — Vocaloid) 7.  MaouEmi (Sadao Maou × Emi Yusa — Hataraku Maou-sama!) 8.  MikoChiyo (Mikoto Mikoshiba × Chiyo Sakura — Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun) 9.  Lancaster (Jaune Arc × Ruby Rose — RWBY) 10. SasuSaku (Sasuke Uchiha × Sakura Haruno — Naruto)

Do you remember the episode/scene/chapter that you first started shipping 6 (KAIMiku)? In 2011 I got curious about wtf Hatsune Miku was and watched World is Mine then Another: World is Mine and it all went downhill from there :’D

Have you ever read a FanFiction about 2 (Clerith)? Yeah, but I haven’t read any in a VERY long time. I think the last FF I read for them was somewhere between 2002 and 2005, ahaha.

Has a picture of 4 (VaniHopu) ever been your screen saver/profile picture/tumblr? No, actually.

If 7 (MaouEmi) were to suddenly break-up today, what would your reaction be? *SOBS GROSSLY*

Why is 1 (Mimato) so important? Mimato was the first fandom I ever truly was a part of when I was a teenager and then got back into when I picked up drawing again in my 20s. I made an LJ community (yamatoxmimi) and was friends with a lot of FFN writers back in it’s heyday; I keep in touch with a few oldfarts of the fandom. And it’s amazing that such a crack ship has so many supporters even to this day :> In their respective world though they’re 1/4 of the Chosen Children. As a pairing, they’re not important towards the story at all considering they only interact once in the series, bahaha... *cries softly*

Is 9 (Lancaster) a funny ship or a serious ship? More of a funny ship though they have their serious moments.

Out of all of the ships listed, which ship has the most chemistry? Ahhh, it’s so hard to choose?! I’m going to say Zutara. They went from bitter enemies to trusting each other, a betrayal and then earning that trust back to eventually becoming a power duo. They’ve both had similar life experiences that they’ve bonded over and the tension between them urrghh. And they just work so well together. I’ll be honest though, Clerith probably has the best chemistry, especially since they pretty much were attracted to each other on their first meeting. But instead of having this entire post be about Clerith, I figure I’d talk about another pair, hahaha.

Out of all of your ships listed, which ship has the strongest bond? CLERITH, fosho. Their love transcends death *cries* Aerith’s presence lives on in Cloud and helps him even in the Lifestream; they’re connected to each other spiritually. Though literally SasuSaku has the strongest bond. I mean Naruto as a whole is about bonds, especially within Team 7, hehe. Y’know maybe I should switch my answers for this with the last one, lmao.

How many times have you read/watched 10’s (SasuSaku) fandom? Hoo boy, going through all of Naruto is a job, but I think I’ve re-read part 1 of the manga like 2-3 times while it was still in syndication. I dropped it a little bit into part 2 then picked it back up near the end and I don’t follow Boruto at all, but I did read the Sarada side-story after the original manga ended. I’ve watched all of Naruto’s original anime once, but only about 5 episodes of Shippuden.

Which ship has lasted the longest? In real life? Clerith. In universe? SasuSaku.

How many times, if ever, has 6 (KAIMiku) broken up? Hard to say since I don’t know all of their songs. Also depends on which version of a certain song you consider your canon (i.e. From Y to Y). But that’s the beauty of Vocaloid: you can use the characters as you see fit :>

If the world was suddenly thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which ship would make it out alive, 2 (Clerith) or 8 (MikoChiyo)? LMAOO, Clerith, hands-down. I can’t even imagine Mikorin and Chiyo in a zombie situation unless it was one of Nozaki’s manga ideas xD

Did 7 (MaouEmi) ever have to hide their relationship for any reason? Yeah, as individuals they do. Emi as the Hero Emilia Justina and Maou as Demon Lord Satan. And it’s very strongly hinted that Emi harbors feelings for Maou which she denies/hides. I’d imagine if they got together they might try to hide their relationship for awhile if they were to ever return to Ente Isla but we’ll just have to wait and see since HataMaou isn’t over yet :)

Is 4 (VaniHopu) still together? QAQ noo… They’re doomeddestined to be star-crossed lovers till the end of time. In fact the last time they were together were in the original FFXIII ;^;

Is 10 (SasuSaku) canon? *flails and cheers* It’s the only pairing on my list that’s outright confirmed and shown being canon. And it still feels so good after 15+ years of shipping it.

If all 10 ships were put into a couple’s Hunger Games, which couple would win? HMMM. About half of my list is power couples so this is a toughy. BUT I think LuluShir would, if only because Lelouch would use his geass to come out on top, lmao. Though thinking about eye powers now, SasuSaku might because of Sasuke’s Rinnegan. Definitely a tough choice between those two pairs; depends on whose eye would trump the other :D

Has anybody ever tried to sabotage 5’s (LuluShir) ship? Beeeeesiiiiides the other Lulu ships…? *shields* Not really sabotage, but C.C. said it was a bad idea for Lelouch to get involved with Shirley if he wanted to pursue his dream (please excuse is this is wrong, it’s been so long since I’ve watched Code Geass. Definitely need to do a rewatch soon esp with the upcoming third season). And… oh… well, I guess Rolo >_> *cough*

Which ship would you defend to the death and beyond? Alllllll of theeeeeem~ But my OTP of all OTPs will always be Clerith, so them first and foremost.

Do you spend hours a day going through 3’s (Zutara) tumblr page? Not at all until very recently (like since a week ago). It was always a ship I idly supported until I got back into ATLA again, and now I’m hopeless :’D

If an evil witch descended from the sky and told you that you had to pick one of the ten ships to break up forever or else she’d break them all forever, which ship would you sink? I… well, most of them are impossible or separated somehow anyway… but… M-Mi…mato…? Because it’s utter crack and they only interacted on-screen once (thanks to tri) so nothing would change anyway ;-; I was going to suggest MikoChiyo, but at least they have their canon friendship (which is BEAUTIFUL btw) so I gotsta pick the obv pair that has no chemistry except in fanon.

I love your blog, you super talent and seems to be a very sweet person. ❤ if you don't mind me to ask, what were the reasons, that made you shipp nejiten?

ohhh ohhh thank you anon! Such a sweet anon! 

Lol what made me ship nejiten? whew ahaha the year was 2007, i just started watching naruto then.And omg, when I first saw Team Gai, i was hooked! I loved them immediately.And goshhh I loveee Tenten’s design so much! Neji’s buckle head protector confused me lol. Lee and Gai were loud but I loved them anyway!!!I got interested in Team Gai coz of the chunin arc, ahaha. And Tenten being Neji’s sparring partner because he asked omg, i started shipping them then. And Tenten narrating his background was like yoooooo, i like these two!!! And Neji not liking Sasuke at first because Tenten said he’s cute haha omg neji jealous much???What sealed the deal for me was the filler arc, where they had to protect this prince?? And Tenten was like, OMG SO HANDSOME. And neji was like WTF (seems like he offended coz he’s a pretty boy lol). And gahhddd… I dunno if it was that ep where there was a slow pan animation of Tenten sleeping. She was so beautiful!!! (maybe it was the ranmaru arc idk).So because I saw Team Gai in the Naruto anime, that’s when I started READING naruto the manga. And every time team gai was featured i became so so happy! And every time Neji and Tenten interacted i felt like i was being electrocuted with feels.

I could make a whole essay about why I love nejiten. This is just a little short version. My attempts at trying to shorten it haha. Thus the incoherence. 

And when Neji died omg!!! I was so sad, I cried T_T. And i was down for the next 6 months after that. I used to cry every time I remember his death.
