#sns talk

[tamelee]

Do you multi ship Naruto or Sasuke with anyone else? Or are you in this SNS shit for life lol

Just their one and only- me on my deathbed:

[oxydiane]

we talk a lot about how sasuke and naruto are so crazy about each other but there’s never enough attention on how the rest of the naruto cast Also thinks they are two fucking lunatics. like we are not alone on this. you have jiraiya telling naruto he needs to not go and chase a mf who tried to snatch his heart out his ribcage and naruto is like no i’d rather be a fucking moron for the rest of my life honestly. you have naruto leaving a mission and saying sory i cannot stay i need to go home and wait for sasuke and the fucking platypus looks at him ???? like he even had me confused where are you goin g to wait? ? why are you saying that like sasuke is coming back the fuck did i miss??? you have the kage summit arc which is just a whole bucket of ice being dropped onto you because you come in and immediately get slapped in the face by naruto letting himself be beat up because he won’t tell them where sasuke is??? like he has any fucking idea where sasuke is. and sai tries to make him come to his senses like naruto??? naruto WHAT ARE U DOING. it’s so bad they need an intervention. right after that naruto faces the raikage and gets on his knees saying i know my almost boyfriend almost killed your brother but i promise it wasn’t on purpose he was just being silly please don’t put a bounty on his head a war will literally ensue. and like. there’s LAYERS to this. 1. even RAIKAGE is like BOY what are you doing. STAND UP. 2. at this point you can count the people who like sasuke on the fingers of one hand like WHO is gonna start a war over him… naruto out there moving a war against a whole country by himself over his bf ok you go girl i guess. after this it gets even worse like gaara has to go up to him and be like SASUKE DOWSNT CARE ABOUT YOU. HE DOES NOT WANT YOU. and naruto just slaps his hand away in front of his family like rude?????? ignoring anything it is hilariouuusssss and then sai is like sorry. sakura lied to you they are actually off to kill sasuke and naruto gets a panic attack so severe he passes out. like i am not joking it was so bad his friends tried to kill sasuke behind his back. and then naruto escapes bedriddenment (is that a word?) after passing out from his panic attack to run and make sure NOBODY kills sasuke. like he’s on a RUSH leaping those trees he’s a boy on a mission. then after he gets there he’s like kakashi DO NOT TOUCH HIM. they launch themselves at each other bla bla gay monologues did you see what was in my heart and then. and then naruto is like. wait sasuke. and sasuke waits like sorry that’s such a little thing but it’s so funny to me like sasuke was just acting a lil murderous crazy manic wtv but naruto told him to wait and he waits. ok good boyfriend. anyways moving on naruto is like do you get it sasuke. if we fight again we will BOTH DIE! (everybody gets a ?????? bubble) i am the only one who can shoulder all that hatred. i will CARRY THE BURDEN OF YOUR HATRED AND WE WILL DIE TOGETHER! and . absolutely Everybody in that room just goes ???????????? what the FUCK is he TALKING ABKHT. everybody except sasuke. sasuke smirks and he’s like sure. they just talked about dying together and meeting each other in a different life where they’ll be free of their burdens and they’re just Fine and all ok smiling at each other and everyone is so fucking confused. like the entire supporting cast is with us side eyeing sasuke and naruto and thinking what in the everloving FUCK is WRONG WITH YOU????????

is the spectrum real

[stiffyck]

Scar fanart keeping me fed constantly everyone draws that man differently. He's a twink to one person, buff gymbro to someone else, soft chubby guy to another person, a fucking bear even to some people. Excellent range. All of them are perfect.

[noushienoushnoush]

On a trip right now and I got to go by the water and do a quick sketch and of course I had to get Naruto and Sasuke in there lol

[shunaruske]

sometimes I think about sasuke cooking for naruto as a form of love.. it reminds him of his mother and makes him reminice about his family.. but he also feels so much joy, as naruto is his family now and he can cook for him and feed him, and show him love and feel loved

[tbartss]

No but like truly imagine you’re this kid and all you’ve known is scorn. All you’ve known is rejection and hatred, for reasons that are elusive to you. People demonize you and you don’t know why. Except this one annoying guy in your class who looks you in the eye. You see the same solitude and isolation that have been your friends all this time in him. Your kinship to him enables you to connect so deeply with the world that hates you, and others that are casted out by them. His acknowledgement enables you to forgive the world that abandoned you. You use this deep empathy to save the world from doom. And the world celebrates you as their hero. But you see that along the way, the very same guy from your class who’s annoying and who acknowledged you, who gave you back the kindness you had always been seeking, the kindness of being real; you see that he is starting to lose his way. Now the despair that threatened you threatens him. And you can’t bear it. You won’t. You decide that before you save the world, you will save him first. Because he gave you that power to begin with, and without him it would all be meaningless. Do you understand the deep love that runs between you? Do you understand how deeply connected you are to each other? What good is a world saved from doom, if you cannot walk through that world with the only one that matters?

allow me to impart my newfound knowledge on how sasuke’s usuratonkachi got lost in translation taken directly from this video

so i just realized how impactful usuratonkachi is in the manga. Esp after the video pointed out that it’s a fond insult sasuke only used in part one and specifically at the end of sasunaru last battle to finally show us that sasuke is back 😭. Here are some screenshots of usuratonkachi being mentioned by Sasuke (and my commentary because i need to yap 😭)

okay so this is panels of sasuke using the insult in a day to day basis when naruto does something stupid

And then it became something more of a fond insult esp when he’s acknowledging naruto 😭😭

he even still uses it right when he’s about to leave the village (basically grasping straws)

And then he uses the insult one last time at the start of their fight at the valley of the end to signifies the end of their bond

This is where sasuke finally uses the insult again but now its at the end of the fight w their limbs ripped off which gave this panel a whole new weight because we’ve come full circle

The ``4 people'' of Team 7 are enjoying the summer in the countryside. Kakashi in a casual clothes holding up a watermelon (it took me a while to spot him), Sakura watering 2 watermelon in the basket, Sasuke holding cool drinks in his mouth and sweating (he's the only one who's spotted sweating maybe because he's came from training to take a break and also it's a summer time it's hot), and next we have Naruto who lying next to a running table fan enjoying eating watermelon while looking at the Battle of Beatles he named as "Naruto and Sasuke".

Sasuke looking at Naruto eating watermelon with such a suggestive gesture with the bottle in his mouth. While Naruto doesn't seems to notice Sasuke as he is focused on the Beatles fight.

So here we have Sakura wetting herself as she looking at Sasuke, and Sasuke completely ignores her and looking at Naruto while doing something questionable with a bottle, and Naruto is enjoying the battle as he eats the watermelon....but he doesn't notice Sasuke's eyes on him.

the note here written in katakana words spelled ｢ナ｣ "na" & ｢サ｣ "sa"

to express the date in Japanese, the order is reversed compared to English: the year comes first, then the month and finally the day.

in japanese, date is wrote as:

{Day of the Month 日 [hi] · Month 月 [tsuki] }

７月３日 - July 3rd

３月７日- March 7th

3 in japanese is "San" and 7 is "Nana".

So, Sasuke- Sa -is 3 in Japanese - San

as for Naruto- Na- is 7 in Japanese- Nana

Therefore, Japanese consider (7th Month) July 3rd as the NaruSasu day, while (3rd Month) March 7th is the SasuNaru day.

The cover art depicts Sasuke and Naruto from the first part. The lantern-like thing in the center with "N・S" written on it.

i understand why most sns shippers want to ignore sasusaku and naruhina and thats completely valid but i kinda love thinking of sns in that context. like. what if you have been in love with your best friend forever and your soul is intertwined with his but for various reasons (which could be its own essay) you could never be together so you have to marry a woman who you aren’t remotely in love with so you have to yearn for eachother from a distance or have an illicit affair knowing you will never get what you want. thats some fascinating stuff. prestige tv/critically acclaimed gay indie movie/award winning novel type shit. from a shitty shounen sequel series btw. i’m incredibly normal before you ask.

Hi, what do you think sets SNS apart from other ships? I like lots of ships but after a time I kind of forget about them or don't care as much but I could never fully stop thinking about SNS. Funny it's not even an explicitly "cannon" ship as others.

Yeah, same for me! 😩

Because they are canon.

Well, fine. Technically, they are not considered canon due to a detached sequel that attempts to redefine their relationships. Now it’s canon that they’re married to women they’ve never felt love for, and some executive's niece wrote a trash novel to try and make it seem the original author had it all wrong, or they change the narrative for convenience sake. It's similar to following a recipe to bake bread, only to have someone mislabel it as an inflatable bike for funsies and profit.

But think about it: what about SNS is not canon?

Their bond, their journey, and everything that led up to that moment of reconciliation and hope is in fact explicitly canon. Both in text and sub-text. And if we’re talking romance specifically, the action shown in Kishimoto’s Manga and sacrifices they make for each other, go way beyond the mere declaration of “I love you." Many  things Naruto and Sasuke said to each other go hand in hand with an ‘I love you’ anyway—mutually.

It’s funnier knowing that Kishimoto did use such spoken, explicit declarations of “I love you” only with the intention to mock it or show how one-sided it was. That such words are rendered meaningless in a world that required these characters to explore what (personal) bonds meant in the first place. Naruto's words in VotE1 didn't yield the desired outcome, leading him to remain mostly silent during VotE2. That’s all with good reason. Alternatively, words are deemed unnecessary as per Naruto's belief that men express emotions without verbalizing, and Sasuke's view that they can understand each other's hearts through their fists. Or how Kishimoto decided to use a single page with no spoken words to show a mutual romance between Konan and Yahiko. Oh, and look at that; Kishimoto does know how to show romance when he wants to. Kushina and Minato didn’t need it; neither did Tsunade and Dan, nor did the romance in Kishimoto’s previous Manga.

We can delve deeper into Naruto's persuasive techniques, like 'talk-no-jutsu,' and question its effectiveness compared to his actions, as he also applied it to himself without significant results, right? Often, the words spoken by these characters didn’t even match how they truly felt anyway. Like Naruto trying to convince himself what's right for the people instead of what he wanted, or Sasuke during the reunion scene. That’s why context is so damn important.

And I could go on and on about this, tbh.

I believe it’s a mixture of their beautiful story as well as the passion to defend the authenticity that is SNS from external pressures like fan interpretations and industry expectations. I think it’s no wonder people go so hard to preserve Kishimoto’s original intent or, on the other hand, to try and disprove it.

For me... I have many ships that I like, but they’re just that: ships. And that’s fine, of course, but there is a difference. 

[oxydiane]

sasuke and naruto make the perfect couple because they’re both crazy in two polar opposite ways. sasuke is unapologetically unhinged and naruto is holding onto those hinges for dear life

Seeking Stray Strands (on artfight!)

Senior of Void’s Cradle, Strands is notably slower due to his age. They spend most of their time talking with Six Nets, and experimenting with purposed organisms. This can leave her a bit distracted from her duties as senior, but certainly that won’t be a problem!

In @druidshollow ‘s off string setting, Strands chooses to stay in his can, but gives the option to all the members of his group. Nets, on the other hand, is thrilled to go off string, and makes their can into its home base. A welcome change from the silence, for sure.

NARUTO Shinobi days: Coming home to a surprise guest (?) Part 6

(Mini Comic: ⚠️ 4 parts *a little long scroll*)

"It does get to me..."

Sasuke never got to drink his water in the end.

.

.

<I am currently re-reading Naruto and I just love Sasuke's inner thoughts about Naruto. It is always profound and deep. I immediately got struck with inspiration, and I thought it is best to deliver it through a little comic. Planning it was the tough one, it ain't easy at all (kudos to all comic artists out there), and I ain't no writer so I had to discuss with my brother on certain things.

It end up kinda long (?) But I hope it turned out at least decent! And also, at the end of the manga when Sasuke cries, that could've been the perfect time to kiss him (but well they can't even move lol). AND ALSO, I just want to draw them cuddling. So, this is just indulging myself..

(also...hopefully people will notice the line "it does get to me" is a ref from something 👀)

Thank you for reading! 🙇

Edit: please ignore the left arm manifestation bec I am an idiot>

more bucktommy the will talk (they're getting there, the conversation went a bit off track lol) - it might be done this week, and then I can focus on the smut, and the buddie fics, and I have a new bucktommy idea inspired by that video of lou barbecuing with his shirt off that I sooo wanna write🙈

prev snippet

___

“Well, yeah, of course.” Buck answers easily, his heartbeat speeding up. He’s a little anxious about putting too much pressure, too many expectations out there, but he also knows that even if he did, they’d get back on track, they’d be fine. And besides, Tommy’s smiling, he doesn’t seem freaked out at all. And that’s after Buck brought up children. But if they’re moving forward with their relationship, they need to know what they want out of life. It seems reasonable to have this conversation this early on.

“Good.” he responds, grinning widely. “Now I won't have to stress about your answer when I ask.” he adds, and Buck feels himself blush, butterflies in his stomach going wild. Oh. Oh. This is- this is real. They’re talking about it, and maybe someday soon- he might marry this man. He will marry this man. Tommy wants him forever. Tommy wants him. Tommy wants to marry him and have children with him, and just be with him. Sometimes it’s still so shocking to Buck that someone as great and amazing as Tommy wants him, but he does. Buck’s not sure he remembers the last time he felt this wanted.

“How- how do you know I won’t ask first?” Buck asks, moving his head slightly closer to Tommy, just enough to look into his beautiful blue eyes. It feels surreal, talking about this, when they only dated for a few months, but it also feels… right. It feels like they’re on the right track to get there one day.
