Since I kinda wrote this here and there and don't recall what I wrote last from it!

"Maybe in another life we'll get another chance, maybe it's like a comet that you only see once in your life. It doesn't really matter to me because right now in this moment. I'm with you."

I tag you, yes, you, unsuspecting reader! <3 Anyways have fun! Enjoy!

K & S <3

thank you for the ask<333 Answering these out of order just in incase u wanna avoid the angsty answer 

S: Any fandom tropes you can't resist?

-Oohhh I love a one bed trope—either platonically or romantically (but I ike both those set ups to be a bit different tho) -hurt/comfort  <333 bc I live for angst  -I love an enemies to friends to lovers. Just adore watching two people’s relationships grow and change thorough years, slowly coming to see eye to eye, forming an unbreakable bond and falling in love. But theres always that teasing nagging way they pick on each other present —So also love a slow burn !   -Also have recently been very into historical aus! Its so much fun to research and the possibilities and different periods are endless! 

K: What's the angstiest idea you've ever come up with?

Oh god there are so many to pick from, published and unpublished. I loveeee angst, and making myself cry ahah  Most recently I’ve been working on something w my oc—not sure if it’ll make it in the long fic or not but its about how she deals with the concept of motherhood and failures and the lingering loss of war/shinobi life. 

Putting it under the cut just in case tw pregnancy, miscarriage/still birth?, Death, grief  

Akami sustained a pretty severe injury in the field as a teen (Danzo’s failed assassination attempt) she managed to drag herself home, but was forced to very poorly patch the wound herself with fire and ice. As a result was told she couldn’t have kids—she was young at the time and so focused on Anbu it never bothered her.  Sasuke changes things, and after 4 years of domestic bliss miraculously she finds herself pregnant—she has lots of conflicting feelings about it, considering both sasuke/kakashi’s thoughts and making them worse in her mind. Akami's relationship with her own mother had always been strained--feeling unloved and unwanted by Umiko.  They eventually decide to go for it—though she makes it rather far along, it doesn’t last due to her old injury. It nearly kills her.  So does the loss, not only because of the death but because of her self-perceived failures and inability to create life. She feels more like a monster than ever, because all she’ll ever be good for is death and decay. She feels rotten from the inside out.  It strains her relationship with both Kakashi and Sasuke, not because of the loss but because of her anger, shutting down and shutting them out.  

If you made it this far sorry ik it's a lot haha😅I have a lot written for it, idk how it happened sort of just spiraled from me one day—I feel like it might be too much, so not sure if it’ll ever make it to the long fic, but I find myself thinking about it often, and adding more to it often—probably b/c of my own confusing thoughts on motherhood.

Pros and cons of teaching?

Oh good question! This might be specific to my job as I’m a kindergarten teacher but Iets see haha:

The pros:

Kids are really great. They’re cute and funny and they really get attached to you and love you so much (yesterday they had a teacher covering for me for half the day so I could prep stuff and when I went in to check he could handle them okay they were like STAY HERE PLEASE and immediately hugged me)

You definitely feel like you’re doing something fulfilling/meaningful! You feel like you’re having an impact and making a difference

It’s so cool seeing them grow and develop! Just their little minds and bodies figuring stuff out and changing and yeah they’re precious

The people I work with are great! Some are a bit off but ehh that happens anywhere

The cons:

I’m EXHAUSTED

The kids are DIFFICULT

Long hours

There are so many demands placed on me, from parents and management

At my specific work, there are so many stupid things I have to do that don’t contribute to the kids at all but are just nonsense - Like I have to take photos of the kids all the time to send to their parents??

So much paperwork

Not an amazing work life balance

Terrible management, they’re trying their best but ugh

Not much guidance but all the expectations

Crazy parents, I have one kid whose mom is the reason the term helicopter mom was invented and I can see how the kid is being negatively affected by it and it’s sad

I don’t get a break from my kids like AT all, I’m their mom all day and that’s exhausting

Overall, I wouldn’t mind teaching again but not at this company 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for the question Nisi 💕

[wind-becomes-lightning]

did you all know that i stole "wind becomes lightning" from a skill of a champion in league of legends and now when I watch esports (which i watch a lot of) I always smile when I hear it? anyway, wishing you a nice beginning of spring

[lemony-snickers]

maybe a combo of "unintentional kiss" and "hanami" and whoevery you feel like writing about <3

The petals are beautiful. Spinning madly like a runaway snowstorm as the wind shakes them from their branches.

Hinata has intentionally come to enjoy all the sights and scents of hanami in the dark, when she can be almost certain no one else is around. Despite all her efforts, all the pressure placed upon her as an heir to a Clan she doesn't always understand and how she strives to meet such expectations, she's never been very good with crowds.

She likes the quiet, though. It suits her. Always has. She thinks it's part of why she and Shino get along so well; they understand that about each other.

Kiba, of course, doesn't get it at all, and will loudly proclaim as much on a fairly regular basis.

HInata giggles at the memory of him doing just that only a few days prior, shouting in the middle of a training assignment that he couldn't hear her instructions when she whispered them.

Her smile falters, though, a moment later. Hinata was proud that Kurenai designated her as team lead, but Kiba's response (and their resulting failure in the exercise) dampened her confidence.

Maybe she isn't meant to be a squad captain. Maybe she isn't meant to be the next head of the Hyuga clan.

As she wanders through the trees, letting the soft pink and white petals cling to her dark hair like the stars dusted over the night sky overhead, Hinata wonders if she will ever figure out what she is meant for. Because it seems like the more time goes on, the more she know what feels wrong while still struggling to figure out what feels right.

The sharp sound of a snapping branch makes Hinata's heart pound a little too hard against her sternum. She activates her byakugan on instinct, so she can better assess the area around her.

It doesn't take long, though, to find the source of the noise, and then her heart hammers for entirely different reasons.

Naruto Uzumaki is avoiding the festival crowds, too, it seems, though Hinata can't imagine why. There was a time when she would have understood; back before everyone in Konoha finally saw him as she always had.

But now?

"Who's there?!"

Hinata lets out a soft gasp when Naruto turns and looks straight in her direction. She releases her kekkei genkai and steps out from the tree she instinctively ducked behind.

"S-sorry, Naruto-kun, it's just... me."

Naruto squints through the dark, nose scrunching comically as he does so, and then his mouth breaks into a two-wide grin that makes Hinata doubly grateful for the darkness so he can't see how she blushes.

"Oh, HInata-chan! What are you doing out here?"

"Just... admiring the blossoms."

And now wishing very much she had chosen a different evening to do so because Naruto is walking toward her. He's saying something, chatting affably in that way he does with everyone that always makes Hinata feel like maybe she could be important. Maybe she could stand out from her family, from her team, if she was just a little braver.

If Naruto smiled at her a little more.

"Oi, HInata-chan, are you all right?"

"Ah!"

He's very close, she realizes suddenly. Too close.

Because when she lifts her head to stop staring at his feet so she can tell him that, yes, thank you she's okay but also she has to leave right now, her forehead bumps against his chin.

Naruto loses his balance and Hinata stares up into his sky blue eyes, startled and embarrassed, throwing her hands out to try and steady him. As he flails, Naruto's lips brush ever-so-slightly over Hinata's and she snaps her hands away to muffle a startled shout, clamping both her palms over her mouth like a vice.

"Woah!"

Naruto slams unceremoniously to the ground at her feet, but Hinata is too stunned to ask if he's okay.

Because she's trembling, sweating. She's either going to throw up or there's a wasp making a nest in her stomach because Naruto's lips just touched hers and isn't that... a kiss?!

She bolts before Naruto can stand, shaking her head furiously in an attempt to ignore his concerned shouts. He's so loud all the time, she thinks, but instead of that sinking feeling when Kiba yelled at her during their training, Hinata finds comfort in the sound of his bellowing voice.

Because Naruto never seems like he needs her to be anything but quiet. On the rare occasions when they've spoken, she never feels like she isn't contributing enough; as though she is superfluous to the conversation.

Somehow, he always makes her feel included. Seen even when she doesn't always want to be. Even tonight, when she thought she wanted to admire the trees alone but then suddenly he was there and now part of her wonders if she'd stayed whether the evening might have been even better with him at her side.

Hinata is silent as she enters her home, silent as she closes her bedroom door and climbs into her futon.

As she stares up at the ceiling, eyes wide and heart still hammering, Hinata feels her mouth pull into a shy smile. She brings a hand up to touch the still-tingling skin of her lips, remembering the faintest brush of Naruto's--chapped and rough and yet still so nice against hers.

For the first time she can remember, Hinata wishes there had been a crowd. Wishes someone loud like Kiba or Ino had witnessed it just so they could yell about it and Hinata would know for sure it wasn't a dream.

prompt list for those interested. <3

[enevera]

The smile begins to resurface as the worry fades into something like teasing fondness.

[alchemania]

I'm feeling absolutely bonkers rn so I wanna talk about music again because I'm crazy about the OST of this game so!!!! Here I go!

I've been thinking about Raiden and Wanderer's themes a lot and I love how they contrast - so, you have Raiden, who like. Her theme starts OFF strong and triumphant you have the horns you got the drums and everything is crescendoing and you feel it in your soul and your bones and then it drops and it's more muted but then by the middle of the song it crescendos again like thunder do you feel me it's about insane power all at once and then it's gone and it builds and builds and builds again and that's the cycle!!!

Whereas with Wanderer it starts off gentle and slow but there's a steady beat that only gets stronger as the song progresses and unlike Raiden who starts off virtually capturing your soul with the baseline this song steadily keeps on moving and building and building it's like a gentle hand that gently takes yours and begins to walk with you and gradually gets faster and faster until you both are virtually on the wings of the angels, running as fast as you can possibly go!!! Power showcased in completely different ways and I love love love them both Raiden is like power just. In who she is you LOOK at her and you know she'll mess you UP but in Wanderer's case he's like. A wild card who seems unassuming but is extremely dangerous if not taken seriously it's like dormant. Dormant power. Do you feel me.

AUGHHH I LOVE THIS GAME'S SOUNDTRACK IT'S SO GOOD IT MAKES ME WANNA CRY PLEASE TALK. TALK TO ME ABOUT IT .

[kankuroplease]

horseyyy

I was like “awww” then I spotted the pile of poop and laughed ajtsjrz thank you 🤣

[qettleqorn]

heheh tell me all of those things for the ushi ten kin trio eheh

SEND ME A SHIP and i’ll tell you:

UshiTenKin (Ushijima Wakatoshi/Tendou Satori/oc.Mae-Hui Kim)

Who wakes up first in the morning: Ushijima does, although he tends to cuddle up next to whoever is closes when he can for an extra few moments. (Certainly not to steal their warmth.) After him it's Kin and then its Satori!

Who’s the first to fall asleep at night: Kin, she'll drag one of them to sleep with her if she can. Since she has a sleep schedule she likes to keep! Usually its Ushijima since he tries to keep a healthy schedule too. Tendou though stays up just to play video games.

What they playfully tease each other over: Tendou - They don't really tease him. Knowing how his childhood was even if he's become more confident over the years. Though on occasion they'll pick on him for having favorites between the two. Knowing full well it isn't true. Although it's mainly Kin who starts it by putting on a dramatic display when he denies her simple pleasures. Ushijima - How literal he can take things. When he realizes what they're on about he gets a little flustered. An unusual trait of course for him. But once they see he's caught on after they've had their fun they'll laugh and apologize. Kin - Ever since they heard another girl call her a giant tree bitch. They can't help but poke at her height in turn. Though both boys are also fairly tall in their own rights. So she just rolls her eyes and gets a bit flustered. It usually ends with both of them giving her a kiss as a peace offering.

What they do when the other’s having a bad day: Tendou - Ushi and Kin will often bake him some sweets and get a game night ready where they play board games, card games, and video games together! Ushijima - They'll all go to the gym, go for a run, just something active to help him work through it. But if that doesn't help him then they'll get him to sit down and have a spa day of sorts. Face masks, cucumber on the eyes, shared baths, nails, and more. Once he's comfortable enough to talk they'll sort through it. Kin - They'll often let her be by herself until she feels ready to communicate. But their homes are often rather quiet during that time. If she lets them they'll just sit with her in the silence. Curled up until she talks about it.

How they say ‘i’m sorry’ after arguments: Tendou - Tendou takes a bit of time to come around but is faster at it than his two partners. Usually when he apologizes he brings food to them. Fruits, sweets, hell once he just brought a water bottle while they were out to one of them. He wants them to know he still thinks of them even if they aren't happy with each other at the moment. Ushijima - He's the last to apologize. But when he does he'll go to whichever, or both, of his partners. Take their hands in his and apologize quietly. He tries to explain, which he knows isn't always a great thing to do. But he explains in hopes they understand he didn't have the intent to hurt them. Kin - Second to last to apologize. She apologizes by doing a chore they hate, folding their laundry, cleaning something. If she can't do that she often goes up to them soft and slow like. Hugging them as she buries her face in their chest. Telling them she's sorry. That she hadn't meant it in a bad way. All of them; It just takes them a moment. None of them want to come at the other in any sort of malice. They care about each-others feelings.

Which one’s more ticklish: Tendou is, he's super ticklish! If threatened with it he gets nervous. Which means it's something they, although mainly Kin, keeps in their back pockets when they want to tease him or be playful! Ushi and Kin are fairly normal about it though.

Their favourite rainy day activities: Tendou - Going out and playing in it. He'll wear a a poncho if asked. But otherwise he'll go out in his sweats and jacket. Kin is the most likely to join him in this treat! Ushi thought always has the towels ready for them- though he has on occasion joined them. Ushijima - Funnily enough he wants to nap during this time. Usually after the other two have dried off they'll hop onto the couch and fall asleep with each other. That nice rainy smell in his partner's hairs eases him into a comfortable sleep. Kin - Reading time! She wants to curl up and read! So once Tendou gets his zoomies out she gets to read while cuddled up next to her boys. They have a book she reads to them as they relax. They call it their rainy day book!

How they surprise each other: Tendou - He can keep the surprise so well it's near scary. But beyond that his own surprises tend to be recipes that he somehow has found out his partner's have wanted to try out. Recipes only their mom, dad, grandma made from when they were kids! Ushijima - He's good at surprises. His tend to be those trinkets and items they had said they wanted once. He recalls and he will be getting it for them at random or for the special occasions! Kin - She's pretty good at surprises. Though occasionally one or two will slip out. But her surprises tend to be her visiting them when they least expect it! If their at work she'll surprise them for a lunch date. Visiting family? Oh, ho- be careful she might have though you needed her and yes she was actually right behind you on the plane.

Their most sickening shows of public affection: Tendou - Second worst at showing his affections in public. Yeah he'll hold their hands and what not just like they'll do the same. But Tendou lets his hands linger briefly before recalling that their in public. Knowing full well of Ushi's image being of some importance. It sucks that he can't be fully open about his partners. Ushijima - Public affections? Him? HA! He mainly holds hands, wraps an arm around their shoulders, or bump shoulders. Other than that he's fairly good about keeping it under wraps. Kin - She is probably the worst about it. She'll always be holding onto their arms, hands, resting her head on their shoulders, hands on their thighs under the table. With her and Ushi having gotten together before they invited Tendou in. A lot of folks thought she was cheating- but they couldn't deny that maybe Ushi was too. Although it just turned out they both had feelings for him. But her worst habit tends to be trying to kiss them. She can't help but want to smooch both of them in public. It's just difficult since most people look down upon polyamourus relationships still. Tendou is the one who often reminds her.
