#yea hes a real character

[bluehairlaunch]

Goddamn Kishimoto is sexist, like I didn't realize how bad until rewatching with friends

Reviewing the girls of Naruto

Sakura and Ino are both useless and boy crazy. After her dramatic haircut, Sakura immediately reverts back to exactly how she was, like legit same or following chapter, and basically stays that way or displays growth then reverts for the rest of the series. Sasuke attacks and hates her and she still marries him. Ino marries the guy who looks just like Sasuke even tho I dont think she and Sasuke ever canonically spoke. Props to Sakura for at least being a rare female close range fighter. Her fight against Sasori alongside Chiyo was a high point for Naruto women

Anko was cool but underused. How is Orochimaru's apprentice so irrelevant to the plot??? Even her filler sucked

Kin Tsuchi loses and then dies. The anime extends her fight so she's less pathetic.

Temari is aight but another long range fighter. Same with TenTen.

My gf called Sakura and Ino tying in the preliminary, because if one of them won it would mean they were the strong one, and Kishi can't have strong women.

Kurenai is useless. She's a stealth assassin relying on genjutsu, so basically picked the worst class in the entire anime. Honestly fuck Hinata too, yea she's a close range fighter for a change, which I like in my naruto women, but simping for Naruro all show isn't a good look. Her little sister seems cool tho, hopefully she isn't trying to marry anyone or w/e in Boruto

Tsunade is punch-y but scared of blood (lotta cisgirl doctors scared of blood mhmm). She's probably the best the show gets tho. Shizune is a long range doc.

Tayuya legit gets men to fight for her and fights at long-range w/genjutsu.

Karin is obsessed with Sasuke, is weak, and is a healing juice box. She sucks

The Mizukage is obsessed with marriage, because god forbid she's 30 and not married

I remember Pakura being cool. Don't ruin her for me if she's not or she's filler, because girls can actually do things in filler

Konan doesn't do anything but support the men in her life and Obito hax his way through their fight. Still probably the second or third best girl behind Tsunade

Kaguya doesn't have a character and doesn't count, let's be honest

I don't remember much about Samui, except that she wasn't as bad as all the other girls. Maybe close range? I do recall her losing and needing to be saved by Darui tho

Actually I have no problems with Chiyo at all. Rare Kishi W for making a badass woman, and a grandma at that, with basically no downsides. Legit, she's the best naruto girl and an overall underrated character. I stan a Chiyo bae

absolutely no hate to my femboys pals ilove yall sm but sometimes ppl out the loop make me sigh and shake my head

Quick question — how old is IM!Mugs supposed to be? Cuz in my mind he's IM!Cup's twin (even tho they're really not), yet I vividly remember this point in The Labyrinth Arc™ where IM!Cup is reminiscing about their parents and through his memory we're shown he was at the youngest a toddler when IM!Mugs was born, maybe even a little older (my headcannon is that he was 5 years old, but to each their own)

So yea. I'm very curious now (it WILL affect a story I'm making. probably at least)

[shakingparadigm]

okay but seriously all jokes aside I really do understand ivan. like having a schedule so packed and busy is so insanely draining no matter how long you've conditioned yourself to endure it. sacrificing certain things like lunch or sleep just to gain the slightest bit more time for yourself is something that feels almost essential to keeping yourself together and not feeling like you're losing yourself in the cycle completely. it's like its own little act of rebellion in a way, something along the lines of you can drown me in work and monotony but I'll keep carving these little spaces of time for what little I have for myself, even if I have to carve them out of my own chest. I will sacrifice parts of myself to ensure that I don't fully succumb to whatever you're trying to make me into. I am human, this is the proof, I will make time even if it ruins me. you know?? yeah. you get it

[mikadll]

i'm gonna be honest, i am highly annoyed by the fact that this is one of the few times we actually get to see medic involved in direct combat and the comics decide to just kill him for the sake of, what, motivating heavy to face off classic heavy? boring ass writing decision

don't get me wrong i love the comics but i highly dislike how they played up medic to be important only to kill him off just to further the plot and give heavy more screen time 😐 they made him as disposable as a connery-era bond girl and it sucks ass so bad. what was the point of subverting the "passive healer who can't fend for themselves" trope with medic's entire character in general when you end up playing it straight for drama in the comics anyway? Fuck's sake lol

[kindaorangey]

well i'm comforted by the knowledge that book!armand has some faith in the christian god (and, like, that this faith is vital to his character) because it means theres absolutely no fucking way they'd just do that one-to-one in the show and so we're one step closer to an exploration of show!armand's relationship with islam

[topperscumslut]

genuine question, if luther had decided in the time since s3 to give up on looking for sloane and accept he’d never find her somewhere out there again and went on to find love with someone else, would y’all be as mad at him as y’all are at five and lila rn? just curious

"Why am I still doing this?"

"Don't you get it?"

"This is all just a show... and we're playing parts~"

[nyxi-pixie]

i love media that focuses more on character than plot and bsd does it so well. like every single character is so beautifully written and asgr treats all of them with such care. i know people complain about the death bait but i think its just. hes not going to kill characters unless that is what makes sense for their arc and their story has been told. its why odasaku is so fixated on not killing: because to him, a character is a real being and you cant be so loose with taking lives when you have full control of one.

even when characters die before youve really had a chance to get to know them properly (the flags, and bram now too, for example), asgr still does a rlly good job of establishing them quickly without leaving them one dimensional. they have a lot of life to them even with so little time to show it. contrast that to something like jjk where you could sit with a character for a while and still not feel like you have a good grasp on Who They Are, and. yikes.

I can emotionally attach to bsd characters who show up for a singular chapter of a backstory light novel. jjk gives a character a whole mini arc and theyre still just nothing to me bc gege, like a lot of writers atm, has characters as plot devices rather than people. and asgr does the opposite.

[angelsdean]

most days I’m kinsey 5 dean truthing. he just. Really likes men. the majority of his significant relationships are with men. on any given day I’m closer to gay dean than Kinsey 3 or lower. but I also enjoy entertaining multitudes so i can see so many different angles and interpretations. except straight dean. there is no such thing. he does not exist.
