nsfw boyfriend!obito head canons
content warnings: size difference, breeding kink (it’s an uchiha, duh), consensual filming, solo masturbation, blowjobs, penetration, afab!reader.
Tumblr media
Boyfriend!Obito who loves to film your sessions so he can, “watch them when he misses you”. But really just watches them when you’re not around. He’s obsessed with your body, watching how your cunt tries to take his fat dick. Doesn’t matter how much he preps you, he still has to bully it in.
Boyfriend!Obito who still gets shy rewatching your little movies because you’re screaming out his name with each rough pound of his hips against your ass. He’s sure any of his neighbors could hear, but something in the way you whine out for more short circuits his brain. Whatever his baby wants.
Boyfriend!Obito who loves fucking in missionary because he’s addicted to seeing his head push through your folds as he fucks his cum deep into your cervix, each ram only making you more delirious and drunk on dick. Has the biggest breeding kink that he only found out about when you started dating because he hated pulling out.
Boyfriend!Obito who films you sucking his cock with your pretty lips even when he drops the camera cause it feels too good. Moans loud n proud cause it’s his girl making him feel good. Loves when your shiny lips kiss his flushed tip, makes him feel all special. Deep throating his unreal girth will end up with a ring on your finger if you’re not careful.
Boyfriend!Obito who likes when you rough him up a bit. Scratching at his chest, pulling at his hair, saying he’s a pervert. Praise him, make him feel like he belongs to you in body and soul. You’ll receive it back tenfold. He gets rougher with you when he’s confident in himself.
Boyfriend!Obito who jacks off all the time just cause he can’t handle how worked up you make him. Finishes in heavy thick loads, and there’s lots of it… You walked in on him twisting his wrist at the same speed you were in the video he was replaying before you ask, “need help with that baby?” He’ll try his best to wait for you, he really does. Just gets really embarrassed asking if he can fuck you, poor thing.
Boyfriend!Obito who is truly a romantic at heart. He doesn’t get to cum until you do. Truly an oral fixation freak. Loves to eat you out till you scream and loves to have his dick sucked till he’s shooting blanks and twitching in your hands. Would propose 69 very sheepishly, just wants to make you moan around his cock.

There's this thought that's been festering in the back of my head growing independently like an unwanted fungus and it needs to breathe for a second so I'm sharing it.
(This is is another me thinking out loud post so please think of it as an exploration of an idea rather than a presentation.) what if, what if, what if. What if Naruto was Sasuke's first love. What if he liked him. like liked him. And when he realized it it made him frustrated. Because he's supposed to be focused on so many other things but this stupid obnoxious useless team mate of his has forced his way under his skin and won't leave him alone. And it's completely one-sided. Naruto doesn't feel the same way. yes he's obsessed with Sasuke but he really does mean friends. Naruto wants to be the greatest ninja, he wants to be Hokage and somehow he's so focused on those things that he doesn't.notice. that Sasuke is suffering. Meanwhile Sasuke is in agony because everyday it just gets worse. he cares too much. The desire for connection starts overshadowing his entire reason for existence. He's losing grip on the loneliness that was fueling his goals. And his heart is starting to ache with something completely opposite of darkness whenever he sees stupid Naruto connecting with so many people in the way only Naruto knows how. and it begins to not matter anymore if he can avenge his clan or not. All he wants is to be with Naruto in that world. He would die for Naruto. he did once. But Naruto doesn't feel the same way. And the unhealed wound in Sasuke's heart is festering too much and he's hurting in too many ways that can't disappear on their own. And then he starts realizing that Naruto doesn't understand him. That the village they were both born in isn't his home but it is Naruto's. That Naruto loves it and wants to belong to it and is actually starting to. And Sasuke realizes how far he is from this world that Naruto is living in because Naruto was born with nothing but is getting everything and he expects it to be the same for Sasuke too. He expects it to be the same for everyone. That's how it was for him. And he tells Sasuke so. And it ruins Sasuke because he realizes that if he stayed he would be ripped apart entirely by Naruto's world view, that whatever love Naruto was giving him was only burning him and suffocating him.
So he walks away. because the love Naruto can give him is not the love that will heal him or help him. It's the kind of love that will kill him.

“it would be meaningless if the citizens of the hidden leaf are dead” 
WHO is this root operative???  i need to know more
danzo is listening to this like ‘god no not another one who’s ready to have a life-changing chance encounter forcing them to re-examine their ideology and reject their misguided beliefs in favor of joining hatake kakashi’s found family; not again’
#naruto#pan watches naruto (again)#*#padmerrie and i got to this point in our rewatch last night and we both looked at each other like WHO IS THIS#in all seriousness though this is so interesting#in that it shows that there are other root members who are starting to ask Questions#like yamato did years ago#and like sai did more recently#i spend a lot of time thinking about post-4th war root#and about the enormous challenge of reaching them/connecting with them and rehabilitating/reintegrating them into society#and this makes me wonder if pain's attack had a similar effect on them that (in my own mind) sakumo's suicide had on the general population#in that it's a bit of a wake-up call#and even though it doesn't revolutionize society overnight it does make people start questioning certain things#and maybe make them more receptive to potential changes in the future#(and unrelatedly it's also really interesting to see how few agents there are here.  only 16 in this scene)#(i'm sure danzo has some others scattered around doing his dark bidding in other lands)#(but i also assume that he's currently speaking to all the agents available in the village right now)#(and that makes sense bc if the foundation was officially 'disbanded' it would have been much harder for danzo to acquire new recruits)#(it's just interesting to think of the foundation as kind of a dwindling force)#(and danzo's bid for hokage as a kind of last-ditch desperate power grab)#(because his ideology IS losing and being pushed out in favor of changemakers like kakashi and naruto and tsunade etc)#(and popular opinion is changing with them)

Link is peak older brother energy I feel that is essential to his character. But the odd thing is that he's equally likely to be evil to his sister or the Perfect Role Model (he seems to be good with kids in botw too) and I think that entirely depends on how big the age gap between him and his sister is (bc link probably matured way too fast after he pulled the sword, not that he had no morals before but any mischievousness disappeared after that)
But either way can you imagine being links sister whether you're close or not like😭 And your brother is literally the divinely chosen champion of your nation. how do you live up to that i know those family dinners were tense. Links dad is out here like so proud of my son who just bested a swordsman many years his senior to become the sovereign royal princess' head chosen guard. and also my daughter for getting a C+ in her sheikah basic history exam. 🙂
What do you think revalis family situation is like. Because I have no clue but I know that guy must have Issues
anon i'm so sorry it took so long to answer this but i've been excited about this question since i saw it in my inbox. the "my daughter getting a c+ in sheikah history" bit had me rolling like here's my kid who is prophesied to save the world vs. my kid who gets into fights with cuccos. giving very much gay son or thot daughter
you're absolutely correct that link is very much Older Brother, but because pulling the master sword made him mature too fast and bear the burdens of the world as its adolescent savior, he's an Eldest Daughter by default (more under the keep-reading because i failed again in making this short)
i honestly like both ideas of link's little sister either adoring him and looking up to him like a role model, or despising him and spitting at him every time they saw each other, but it would depend a lot on whether or not link's parents splitting was amicable or not. my original headcanon kind of implied that after link's parents split, they never saw each other ever again because link and his dad were at hyrule castle and link's mother and sister stayed in hateno, but it would be cool if link's parents shared custody and had each kid go travel to see their other parent and sibling lol. i think that link would definitely write letters to his mother and sister, even if they resented him.
from here i'm just gonna refer to link's little sister as aryll until i solidify her character (i'm stuck between two names for her right now) and because it's just easier LOL but the idea of aryll being like a teeny baby 5-6 years younger than link who thinks her big brother is so cool and wants to become a knight just like him, carrying around fake wooden swords with her, wearing an oversized soldier's helm, and telling her mother like "i'll protect you, mama!" is so cute. vs. aryll being a year or two younger and resenting link for being better at everything than her and how no one seems to acknowledge her accomplishments when link's cast a tall shadow over hers. aryll, who does everything to prove that she's just as good of a fighter as her brother is, but her father still brushes her aside for link.
i think the reaction that either version of aryll would have if link slowly went quiet and stopped sending letters or coming to see her after pulling the master sword would be devastating. for teeny baby adoring aryll, she would wonder why link hasn't sent any letters recently and rationalizes it as being busy with being the champion now. as time goes by, link doesn't send any more letters at all and he doesn't ever visit despite there being sightings of the hylian champion everywhere but the necluda region and aryll would slowly become heartbroken and distraught that her big brother isn't talking to her anymore, that he seems to have forgotten about her.
but for resentful aryll, it further proves that link never cared about her and her mother at all and that all he cares about is prestige and status and fulfilling his stupid destiny as the wielder of the sword that seals the darkness (she rereads link's old letters in the middle of the night with nothing but a tiny flame, and cries silently wondering if things would be different if their parents never split or if link was never chosen as a champion).
sorry i made it sad LMAO but yes it would be funny if they still had family dinners with their father being like "today, link bested five men in hand-to-hand combat all at once, fought off ten monster hordes alone, and deflected a guardian beam with a pot lid saving someone's life! how did your day fare, aryll?" and aryll is just like. i fell off my horse shooting 20 bullseyes during practice. their father is just like Hm. That's nice. Your brother can do 50 while standing on Epona's back. cue aryll staring murderously at link, meanwhile link does not give a single shit about this conversation, he's busy shoving his face full of the food that aryll cooked because aryll is a good cook :)
it's would be such a funny perspective, aryll plotting to murder link in his sleep vs. link who is oblivious to aryll's resentment and still thinks that's his little sister who fights well and cooks a great meal. now i'm thinking about link and aryll who used to cook dinners together and learned how to cook from their mother... :(
now revali, my poor dear sweet revali... i've seen a couple fics here and there that mention revali's family situation, but i personally am in favor of the idea that revali was either abandoned or orphaned as a fledgling, and was raised by the elder and the whole of rito village in general. since nintendo gives us no indication of revali's family but implies that revali is around the same age as link, zelda, and mipha as per urbosa's diary, there's a lot of potential and flexibility with this idea.
if revali was abandoned, i think the rito would shun his parents because i like the idea that family and bonds are very important in their culture, and what kind of parents would abandon their baby like that? who even knows why revali's parents would do that but i think there are still no indications of revali's family in age of calamity, so perhaps they fled the village when revali was born and abandoned his egg in the nest. fuck them fr! this could be a good explanation for his motivation as to why he pushes himself so hard to be better as per the DLC champion revali's song memory. his parents didn't want him enough to keep him and even fled the entire village so that they wouldn't be held responsible to care for him anymore, and that stings. it would be a deep-seated insecurity for revali, a sense of betrayal, loss, and desperation to be loved, to be wanted by someone. so he trains to be better, he pushes himself until he collapses, because if his parents didn't want him as he was, then maybe no one else will.
now if revali was orphaned, i would assume that both his parents were revered, formidable warriors who died in battle but most importantly, that they did love and want revali. revali might have already been hatched at this time and present at his parents' funerals, which is actually the saddest thing ever. a tiny orphaned little hatchling who being the one to send his parents off, to honor them for dying a warrior's death. it might be a good origin story and another really good motivation behind revali's character, why he pushes himself so hard to be better. do you think baby revali thought it was his fault that his parents died in battle, that he wasn't strong enough to protect them and that's why he needs to be the strongest warrior there ever was among the rito to make sure he can protect the people he cares and loves for the most? now imagine this version of revali cradling a dying link in his arms lmao
both are good backgrounds for revali but i think at the moment i'm leaning towards the orphaned storyline. it's only thing to be unloved and unwanted, but to know you were loved and wanted but to lose those people so soon is incredibly tragic. to know those people for a short window of time and lose them so soon must tear revali apart everyday. do you think he sits alone in the flight range in the quiet of the night after hours of training, trying desperately to remember his father and mother's faces, how they must have felt to see their son hatch, how they thought they would return home safely to him that day? he's loved and respected by the village and the elder treats him as their own, but it's not the same as knowing you had a mother and father who wanted you as their own too. he's honestly also the village's biggest tragedy. i'm imagining him as a fledgling, fresh out of the funeral, walking past some rito mothers cooking meals for their kids or some shit, openly talking about how tragic it was to lose some of their best warriors and to leave behind a son in their wake. it's too much for baby revali and he runs down the platforms of rito village and hides in a tree in one of the island spires connecting the village to the mainland, crying his eyes out.
my poor blorbo revali, please treat him and link kindly everyone. they're always going through some shit whether it's family trauma or their weird gay courting 😔

ooooh apparently the pjo show is out? or is it just the first episode? i'm not sure but. hm!!
#shrimp thoughts#once again i fail at being a human being because i first read a pjo book in HIGH SCHOOL yes high school#a friend i'm no longer in contact with lend me their books and i Ate them all up in like a week or so#and then i got so into it that i 1. got an english version of hoh online and 2. pre-ordered the polish version that iirc arrived before the#official premiere... so i read it quickly and passed it on to them and one other classmate i think? lol#i remember i had a fondness for octavian. funny little guy#now that i think about it... i don't... really... have any 'childhood series' that i'd get super nostalgic over if they got a tv show/remak#or wtv. i could read when the... 2nd? hp movie came out but for some reason i didn't like the Vibes (i only got into hp after i accidentall#caught the poa movie on my father's tv in 4th grade and at that point i think the book series was already over)#i was also into the witch comics and in ~2006 i think i got into manga and anime#but only specific series and back then it wasn't as easy for me to watch them in the first place so i can't relate to naruto kids either#when i started jpn studies everyone was an expert on the most popular shows and i... Was Not#tl;dr yea i have no idea what the fuck is wrong with me either. anyway i'd say i want to give the show a try sometime but unfortunately#the only way to get me to watch a show it to invite me over and put it on. otherwise it's 'oh yeah i'll add it to my list' city. forever.#(there's no list)

My favorite Naruto Canon Lore / My Theory is that........... The Ninja Continent/Five Lands have been at war so long that their basically the barbarians of the planet.
There are numerous other peoples depicted outside the five elemental nations that are exceptionally more advanced.
The land of snow is close enough to the elemental nations to actually be depicted in Naruto maps, and even they have better technology (such as rail trains and steam power and chakra-powered electronics). The land of Sky had severely advanced flying power after returning from an absence in the nations. There’s an entire continent that may be themed medieval but has advanced technology compared to the Nations. Crescent Moon Island, which is close enough to the elemental nations to sometimes be depicted, is a wealthy trading nation and has swaths of advancements such as purely leisure/recreational hand held video games.
Following the end of Shippuden, when the elemental nations find peace and start to de-militarilize a bit? sudden massive techno boom. TVs, phones, casual electronics everywhere. Deadass one-hundred-percent, it’s because these things already existed but Konoha like the other elemental nations just couldn't fucking afford to invest in or import them because they were too focused on military shit and wars.
There’s even like, hints through out the show about this being the situation. In early-Naruto, Team 7 has radio-based communicators. They are, however, only used for a single low-risk mission that doesn't leave safe territory (finding the cat D-rank). The implication is that electronics of hand held size exist, but were too valuable to dole out for situations where they might go missing or be damaged. And furthermore, that Konhoha was only willing to invest in them because they were tactfully advantageous for their military. There’s other things that are suspiciously high-tech for a feudal-daimyo-having elemental nation. Looking directly at Orochimaru specifically, who’s labs are particularly technical at times (of course Orochimaru would see reasons to import things so important to his research), or high-level communications devices used used by some elite high rankers. Even highly-advanced electronic, digital cameras that are clearly dedicated to extremely specific purposes like only being used in the Academy or mobile laptop-like computers exclusively shown in the hands of Medical staff in konoha (who is noted for having the best medical situation of the five countries and would thus have a higher medical budget, enough to important a sparse few of the essential technologies invented outside the shinobi world).
Part of me is a little obsessed with Amegakure for this reason, because Nagato looked at his war-torn village and then Konan looked at the countries beyond the Ninja World and they said “fuck it, lets build skyscrapers.”

i think what i still prefer about naruto compared to most other super popular shounen and why it stuck with me is that its villains are human. they aren't supernatural beings with incomprehensible evil motives and aims! their reasoning can be traced to history and the systemic failures of the shinobi world. kishimoto is a poor plotter & eventually chickened out bc it got too complicated, but i still think in its essence naruto felt more impactful bc of this - most of the bad stuff that happens is directly caused by structural injustice and the inherently violent nature of shinobi society. while the tailed beasts, alien and dangerous, are arguably also villains, the tragedy they cause results more often than not from humans using their power for destruction. this is ultimately why the war arc and the ending with the deus ex machina -esque introduction of zetsu and kaguya is so disappointing; the series really did have something to say in its conception about the cycles of violence, the various consequences of war, and what society organized around army/police states results in, but all this is thrown out the window in favor of hand-wavey explanations excusing the characters' actions with fate and divine plans. in this essay

watching this to figure out exactly how far I got without having to read dozens and dozens of episode summaries and kinda surprised I barely got more than half way
#well maybe a little closer to 2/3 than 1/2 considering the 20ish minute animation tangent#but basically i remember everything clearly up to jiraiaya's death then i think i started mentally checking out#but like i kept going 'oh yeah i remember the sage (frog) training' 'oh yeah hinata getting beat up'#i think i truly checked out when naruto showed mercy to pain after beating him. yeah yeah in character but still felt like a cop out#bc then i have huge gaps in memory until the 5 kage summit and another huge gap until sakura's confession to naruto#not done watching the video though so maybe i have watched more than i remember but i was def just going through the motions at that point#until whenever i dropped it#its before neji's death though i can tell you that lol. i remember hearing about it happening in the manga way before the anime got to it a#and being sooooo pissed#but ykno i did enjoy most of what i watched so vicariously reliving it through the retelling was also fun to listen through#update: okay i also vaguely remember danzo vs sasuke#update 2: was the sasuke vs kakashi fight really this far in bc i loved that fight wtf#update 3: oooooooh naruto parents' backstory... yeah i remember that too. maybe i really did watch more than i remembered oops#okay final update yeah i dont remember konan vs obito and definitely didnt know abt his new mask so i guess i watched abt 3/4 of the series#man i really checked out bc i never realized how present obito was for so much of this#also sucks that konan's fight was RIGHT after i dropped it bc i remember being so intrigued by her but i was also just so fed up by this po#point* that i couldnt bring myself to keep watching#MAN THEN GAARA GETS A BIGGER ROLE AGAIN THIS SUCKS MAN HES ONE OF MY FAVES

they're so freaking absurd. like hashirama is actively excited to see madara again. despite the fact that madara is currently waging war on literally everybody.
all the other kage are all "oh boy i finally get to meet my son in person for the first time!!!!!" or "ok it's been a while since the last war so don't get unfocused" or "i'll beat madara this time" (girl no u won't sit down) and then hashirama's all "yay!!!! friend!!! :D"
The best part about hashimada by far is that at no point during Naruto were they ever not incredibly freakishly obsessed with each other.
Hashirama kills madara in the newly created valley of the death and literally gets humongous matching statues of themselves to honour them.
Madara fuses Hashirama’s flesh into him to sustain his life, you can argue it’s a practical decision but the symbolism of his life being prolonged through consuming Hashirama’s DNA shows how they are constantly connected, even when seemingly separated .
4th war hashimada fighting it out and madara being genuinely excited to see hashirama and refusing to fight until hashirama comes to him… Your honour they are NOT NORMALLL OMFGGGG
It’s like!!!! They fight they die they reanimate they go through the horrors but no matter what they are always bonded and never bother to deny that love. I love it. I feel crazy. HASHIMADA….
#naruto#naruto shippuden#hashimada#senju hashirama#uchiha madara#not to mention madara's infamous ''i just sensed hashirama's chakra again'' grin#they're so excited to see each other!!!!#like their last meeting was absolutely devastating. but neither of them give a shit bc they missed each other#not to mention how much time madara spent lecturing people for their not-hashirama-ness#like when he finishes talking to sasuke he stays grim the whole time until sasuke decides to go fight#even in his brief flashback of himself and madara as kids he isn't smiling#but once sasuke makes his decision hashirama is the only one who smiles. everyone else is surprised or serious or contemplative#but for hashirama it means he's going to see his friend again#sasuke and hashirama's relationship is pretty brief and mostly one-sided bc sasuke doesn't really give a shit about some dead guy#but on hashirama's end it's absolutely fascinating#even completely unaware of the whole indora/ashura thing he's on sasuke's side from pretty much the start#sasuke is actively threatening to village and when tobirama reacts it's tobirama who hashirama warns to back off#i don't think it's just bc sasuke looks like izuna#i think it's bc hashirama realized from hearing about itachi that madara had been completely right in his predictions#as far as hashirama is concerned sasuke is the one who gets to dictate the terms of that discussion#when sasuke asks tobirama to talk hashirama stays quiet and lets him speak#when sasuke asks to hear hashirama's side of things he's fully willing to indulge him. even with a war going on#i'm getting off topic but basically i think to hashirama sasuke represented whether or not he would get the chance to see his friend again#or whether he deserved to#just. think about that for a second#the last time he saw madara he was literally stabbing him in the back until he died#and he leaves what happens next up to the teen who showed up with the guy who resurrected him to attack his own home a bit ago#like. they have never met before that day. hashirama didn't even know sasuke existed until then#but he decides to let this kid who is a complete stranger to him dictate the terms of his post-divorce reunion#the man is deranged

Etho doodles in which I let my inner dinosaur nerd take over 😔 and also have no idea how to shade
Get it cause he's old and washed up haha... ok but actual raptor Etho hybrid justification below cut
To be honest the main reason was because I really wanted a hybrid in the mix who wasn't some furry creature and a reptile or amphibian or smth instead. Etho still ended up feathered but whatever it's close enough! But for ACTUAL reasoning:
He does feel damn ancient, like an old deity of the mcyt space that no one can dislike. Dinosaurs are the same!! They're old but still thought of with great fascination and fondness, everyone loves dinosaurs...
Dinosaurs are ever so mysterious, as many advancements as we make there's still so much we don't know. Just as we know jackshit about mister Kakashi skin man. Also, there are so many incomplete skeletons out there. I didn't have a particular species in mind for Etho, because where's the mystery in that? He can be one of those 5% skeleton 95% speculation dinosaurs like this guy!! Missing jaw and all
Tumblr media
"I'm a runner, not a protector" - so, a raptor, or more specifically the Dromaeosauridae family, which literally has "running/runner" in its name
But! I'm always a fan of stuff going against its nature, especially in this case! Etho states he's not a runner yet protects his allies rather fiercely even in total silence. Eg refusing to kill Cleo in SL or to give away Tango's location during the LimL manhunt, same for Grian in SL. He was a bit flaky in 3L I think? And he only started to have genuine care for allies in LL with Bdubs? Though he is still very much a runner in many cases like during the LL Wither fight. Research also strongly suggests that most if not all raptors were solitary hunters, and the way I see Etho (through my shamefully limited watchtime of his POVs...) he feels a lot like someone who ultimately only trusts himself at the start even if he's pleasant and allying with others, and doesn't seem to think he can carry his weight in groups though he doesn't voice this a lot. That's just how Etho is, very composed, but it feels like there's an insecurity there, showcased especially in SL but again I haven't seen almost any of his POVs in full so maybe I'm talking out of my ass!! Sorry ethogirls I'm only a sidegig ethogirl myself... But yeah tldr to me he gives off the vibe of an otherwise solitary animal struggling to find 100% sure footing in a pack. In whichever ways he does go against his nature, its not usually made a show of
At the mention of a raptor, a lot of people will probably think of the glamourized Jurassic Park Velociraptors. But those awesome guys from the movies are actually the size of chickens. In general though, dinosaurs tend to be a bit.. exaggerated in media, despite how inherently fascinating they already are. And I think it fits Etho because we all know how the Lifers seem to fear and mancrush on him when he's just some dork with perfect capability to become pathetic at a moment's notice. Still, he's a clearly skilled player and still respected without question Etho's not some killer machine like some people make dinosaurs out to be. He's just a fellow creature fulfilling his role in the ecosystem 👍
dinosaurs are cool
The hook-like sickle claws on the feet... something something fishing rod
I swear I'm not turning all my Lifers into hybrids I'm not!! Still plenty normal humans in the mix I swear....... But Etho is such a radical dude, I really wanted to do something more for him. The whole Kitsune thing that I often see associated with him is really cool. I don't actually know the reasoning for it but I assume something something naruto, but also, him being this ancient mythical cryptid who people know so little about, you know? It makes SO much sense. So anyway I turned him into a dinosaur instead rawr
As a herbivore advocate I also considered stuff like the triceratops (known for how they protect themselves and their own) but nah the raptor symbolism...
