#you ship narusasu because you hate women actually i ship narusasu and not their other ships with women because i actually love women too

[t4tadrienette]

It's weird that lots of people lump all narusasu shippers together and say they're all misogynistic. Like, I don't know, sorry for having reading comprehension, I'll gladly prefer being called a misogynistic before shipping misogyny ship number 1 and misogyny ship number 2, whatever, whatever

What is your ult fav anime and ult fav otp? You can only choose one *evil grin*

First of all, thank you so much for the ask!!!! I love getting asks, it always makes me so happy when people are interested in me, haha🤣💜 Second of all, the answer will be under the cut because... it somehow got too long... but I mean. You can’t ask me about ships or anime and don’t expect that with how much I babble here all the time about those things specifically, LOL.

So, anon, I hope you don’t mind me giving you an almost-essay as an answer to this!!🤣

HAHA, anon, you are evil!!!! bUT. I actually have an answer to this!! Haha. I didn’t need to think about it, either! As much as I absolutely love and die for a lot of animes, I always tell people my favorite favorite anime is Erased/Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi. I read the manga later and well, the manga is even better!! The resolution of the conflict, the background of the villain, the story is much more developed/better explained in the manga, but even when the anime is not a super amazing adaptation, I still think it did an amazing job!! The reason(s) of why this is my favorite anime is(are) simple: I love every single character (except. you know. the evil ones, haha). I’m usually not that attracted to protagonists, but Satoru has my heart in his hands. I’m so attached to him. He’s selfless, smart, tries his very best and loves so deeply. I absolutely love how the author managed the women/girls in the story, too. I started watching it without knowing a single thing more than “oh, he’s trying to solve a murder” and OH BOY, did I was surprised with the very first episode!!! Never ever have screamed so much and lose my shit that much with a first ep, and that’s saying a lot asjdkasjd. Maybe it was because I didn’t know a single thing, but either way, I was obsessed since the very first seconds. I love the villain, even when people say it was “obvious, lazy or predictable” since the start. I love Satoru’s mom. I love how it is dark and sad but just the right amount. I love how much it made me feel. I sobbed, and screamed, and laughed, and almost wanted to break my laptop while watching, too, lol. It seriously is an amazing anime. The characters, dynamics, the plot, everything was so well-done! I would die for the kids, for Satoru’s mom, for Airi. Their dynamics make me melt. The writing is fantastic!! I feel like time-traveling and solving murders are delicate things that, if you don’t know how to handle, are gonna fail you. If you don’t know how to connect things, the story is not gonna feel rewarding, it’s going to feel confusing. But with Erased, everything made sense and connected until the end, which is something I’m obsessed with. Add that to the freaking stellar animation, the aesthetic of it (I still love the subtle change in colors/that black framing in the “past” asdkajf), and the fact that I’m so, so, sooo weak for thrillers + science fiction-ish and kids as protagonists, lol. So, yeah, anon, that’s my fave anime, even when I love, love, love, LOVE a lot of more. I could talk about like, maybe 30 animes with so much love it would amaze you, lol. And that’s just talking about anime, ohhh how many mangas do I love, too... But yeah!!! Even if I don’t talk about this anime enough on here, I think is criminally underrated, and I talk about it to everyone irl I know, lol.

About my favorite ship!!!! HAHA, the thing is. I have like 500 ships and I probably would die for like. 100 of them. Easily. I even have my top of faves, tbh, haha. But my ultimate favorite ship is sasunaru/narusasu. Maybe it’s a very “basic” answer, I don’t know, lol, but I seriously think they always will be. I won’t talk so much about them because then I’d never shut up and this answer is already so long ajsdkadj (I feel like that twitter thread that is like “okay, i’ll try to be brief (1/475)” LOL). But the reason why they are my fave is because I’ve never became this obsessed with a ship before. They were the first ship I felt so deeply for. They had me since the very first eps and continued to rip my heart out, to made me FEEL so much for both of them; for their longing, for their yearning, for their love for each other. The fact that they’re two broken boys who found the connection they so desperately craved for in each other? The fact that Sasuke taught Naruto, a boy who was hated all his goddamn childhood for something he didn’t even know about, what love was, what sacrificing yourself for someone was, what caring was? The fact that Shippuden is about Naruto so desperately trying to understand, trying to make Sasuke understand, and loving Sasuke so fiercely back (without giving a damn about what other people said, without giving up on him, saying that if being smart meant giving up on Sasuke than he rather being dumb all his life)? The fact that the first part of Naruto is about Sasuke doing all those little things and making Naruto feel validated, loved, cared for, seen? And then Shippuden is about Naruto screaming into a void, trying to tell Sasuke “I love you, too, I love you back, as deeply as you did, and I want you to know that even if I don’t understand, I want to understand, I want to be there for you, I care for you so much that just the very idea of you being dead or hurt gives me an attack; I want you to be okay, and I’m never giving up on you”?? The fact that I still sob like a baby every time I watch ONE minute of that last battle and the fact that Naruto answering Sasuke to “you’ve been saying that all the time, but what exactly... does that (being your friend) mean to you?” with “even if you ask me, I can’t exactly put it into words. I just... when I saw you hurting, it... kinda... hurt me, too. So much that I couldn’t stand it, that I couldn’t just leave you alone” STILL KILLS ME LIKE THE FIRST TIME EVERY SINGLE TIME I HEAR IT. LIKE GOD. MY HEART CANNOT. It’s just so emotionally rewarding seeing they make amends at the end and also discover how the other has been loving the other back just as deeply as they did. -- They’re also just a bunch of tropes I love piled up together, tbh, and the kind of characters I love having paired up. The tsundere-ish kid with a dark past, that’s so kind and so selfless and loves so deeply that it breaks him plus the kid with the tragic backstory that’s basically The Sun itself, a bit dumb but also so caring and so cool, and the one that makes the tsundere-ish boy’s heart go all doki doki. Idk, I just love my rivals trope, my “could have been childhood friends if they just had the courage to talk” trope, the “I care so deeply about you and love you with all my soul” trope, piled up with so many emotional layers and so deep emotional connection??? Oof. They’re just my very first ship and the one that practically owns my heart and soul. They have so many layers and they hurt me but also melt me and heal me and make me fall in love with their raw, pure love. They’re soulmates, your honor. Haha. They just... really make me feel so much, I can’t quite explain it. As much as I love, love, love, LOVE all my ships, they’re... different, I guess. They even made me write for them. My very first fics, my very first tryings/attempts to write was for them. And to be honest, I was obsessed with Naruto for such a long time... (maybe because it was my first anime LOL). Sasunaru/Narusasu and all their moments (that I kid you not, I remembered like every little thing in the 700+ eps, even with the NUMBER on which ep it happened, of them. The exact lines, too.) was like, everything I talked about for like. Half a year or more, LOL, and my mom wouldn’t let me lie, she knows. After school, I was in the car and was mentioning for the 50th time that moment Sasuke recognized it wasn’t Naruto in the Chuunin Exams bc Naruto used the kunai in his other leg. LOL. I was eating and I was talking about the battle of the Valley of the End. It was dinner and I was talking about that ending with the lyrics “please kiss me, please kiss me all night”. I just. They’re so important to me. They mean so much to me. And I know I said I was going to be brief so I better shut up now ajsdkajsd. But, yeah, they’re my favorite. :’)

[d-n-battle]

You know... it’s not so much that I hate Naruhina and Sasusaku...

It’s more like I just really don’t get how anyone can really like these pairings?? Like I really just don’t understand the appeal???

Like did I really watch the same series as all you Naruhina and Sasusaku shippers????

Y’all: aaawww look at all of these Naruto and Hinata scenes, he clearly loves her sooo much <3 <3 <3🥰😍😌

Me: bitch where????😂😂😂

(Literally, I could make the exact same joke about Sasusaku)

Like, is it just me, or are these two ships literally just about the girls’ feelings???

I mean I’d be totally fine with these two couples, if they didn’t put this emphasis on the girls, and completely ignore the guys...

I mean ok - serious time now - can the Sasusaku shippers and Naruhina shippers show me any evidence from the anime (or manga if you’re a reader) of Naruto and Sasuke returning Hinata and Sakura’s feelings respectively???

Again, I want to reiterate that this is a genuine request, I’m not trying to poke fun with this one. I’m just genuinely curious as to what you guys can dig up. (But also, side note - please refrain from using the films or Boruto as I haven’t watched them yet. I honestly don’t think I’m even gonna watch Boruto, cause I’m not a big fan of like spin off series, so yeah...But anything from the 720 anime episodes, or any of the manga chapters is fine.)

Anyway, back to my point.

Relationships are about two or more people coming together because they recognise that they have romantic feelings towards each other.

Which is exactly why I, like I’ve said already, don’t understand how Naruhina and Sasusaku are supposed to work???

Like yeah, Sakura and Hinata both like/love Sasuke and Naruto.

But when have Sasuka and Naruto expressed that they like them back in that way???

I mean as a whole the show was never even about romance, sure there were hints at possible relationships throughout, but that was never the point of the show.

I mean I feel like this all harkens back to some points I’ve already seen made by other people, but like why is romance necessary in this situation???

.....siiiiiigh.....😒

Because what else are female characters for??? If not to fawn over the male character then really what are they for??? I mean it’s not like they’re meant to represent real life people just like the male characters right??? It’s not like they’re meant to actually have well fleshed out characters with goals that don’t revolve around getting the guy of their dreams to notice them right??? Nooo, of course not, don’t be ridiculous....

I am seriously just soooo done with this bullshit. Like I’ll be the first to admit that Hinata and Sakura are not my favourite characters, but I mean it’s not like that’s really their fault now is it??? I mean they honestly both had a lot of potential. Like, seriously, soooooo much potential. I’m being completely honest here, I was well and truly so disappointed by how these two girls’ character potential was squandered 😔😔😔

And all for the sake of fullfilling their ‘true’ purpose in the show....

And don’t even try to give me the excuse that because Naruto is a shounen anime aimed at a primarily male audience, female characters can’t be feutured as anything besides the love interst. Like what kind of shit is that - so guys can’t even enjoy female characters unless they’re lusting after the male characters they like to insert themselves into???? I mean if you really think that then you must really hate guys.

Like I’m sorry but that just makes men sound like shit. It makes them sound like they only view women as people who belong to them, and are only relevant when it comes to how they are connected to men.

Women are their own goddamm people!!! They don’t exist solely to appease men!!!

As I woman, I have had to put up with this shit for years, and I am so done with it. If guys get to have characters that represent them in almost every piece of media out there, then why don’t women get to have the same treatment??? We make up a whole half of the entire goddamn population!!!

Honeslty, a bitch is soooooo mad about this 😡😡😡(thag bitch being me of course)

And what I’m also super mad about is that these two relationships imply that the guys feelings are completely irrelevant. Like I’m sorry but no amount of Sakura liking/loving Sasuke makes it okay for her to end up with him - if he doesn’t feel anywhere near the same amount of love or appreciation for her. And the same can be applied to Hinata and Naruto.

This outcome also forces everyone to just completely ignore/forget the fact that Naruto and Sasuke are completely unready to be in a relationship with anyone.

Like, yeah I’m gonna admit here that I am indeed a Narusasu shipper, but I’ll also admit that I dead ass don’t think they’d even be ready for a relationship with each other.

I mean the war and everything else just completely messed them both up, so they would both probably need some time to heal. And knowing those two, it would most likely take quite a while before they’re anywhere near healed enough to date - let alone fucking marry - anyone.

And, also (so that I’m not accused of favouritism towards the boys) - what about Sakura and Himata and the shit that they themselves experienced??? I mean Hinata had to watch her cousin die in front of her - that’s gotta mess you up. And Sakura was a medic - there’s no imagining the shit she must have seen.

War messes people up for a long time, and bassed off of what I’ve heard of Boruto - the timeline implies that these two couples got married and had kids pretty soon after the war.

That. Does. Not. Add. Up. Sis!!!!!

Honestly, the series should have just had what I like to call an ‘open ending’. This is where pretty much everything is left (you guessed it) out in the open. By everything I mean like the final relationships and stuff like the minutiae of the story. Unless, your story is a romance story in which case the romance is the most important thing, but as we’ve established- this is not the case with Naruto.

If you don’t explicitly state that characters X and Y are married with 2.5 kids, everyone who would dislike that as an outcome is free to think that they didn’t.

Like seriously, the whole point of using the line “and they lived happily ever after”, is so that you can leave the ending open to the interpretation of the audience. That’s why I’ve never liked being told how they lived happily ever after.

Because, ultimately everyone has different ideas of what happy looks like.

Some people want to get married because that’s what would make them happy, and for some marriage would achieve the opposite. It’s the same case with having children. Or what job you wanna have.

I mean really, there is soooo many different ideas of what happy looks like.

So why limit yourself and more importantly your audience/readers????

I mean think about it like this. The purpose of a main character is basically to give us a point of view of the story through which we can be influenced. That’s why a lot of the time they don’t really have distinct personality traits - so that the reader can project their own onto them. That way the reader/audience member is able to immerse themselves in the story. We are allowed to image that the main character is us. That’s why we get angry when they do something we don’t like, our first thought is - “well, I wouldn’t have done that...”. So image how disconnected you would feel, from a character who makes a big decision that you don’t agree with. Like say, getting married, when you yourself can’t imagine yourself getting married??? Or say, getting married to someone who you yourself wouldn’t want to get married to???

I think that’s the real issues in case of Naruhina and Sasusake. The majority of us - who are clearly of sound minds - would not want to marry Hinata, Sakura, or even Naruto and Sasuke. Most likely because their characters often times feel like caricatures of people, instead of real life people. They feel somehow unfinished, and so we have a harder time seing the bigger picture, and how these big decisions they have made are supposed to make sense.

Okay, I feel like I’ve rambled enough. I leave you with this -

I don’t mean to offend anyone with this post, and so I hope I haven’t/didn’t/won’t. I’m truly just stating my opinion here. If you don’t agree with anything I’ve said here, please do let me know; I’ll always appreciate constructive criticism.

I will always love Naruto. But in order to truly love something you have to also recognise it as flawed. And this was simply me pointing out some of the things which I perceive as flaws of the show/manga.

Please, don’t think of this post, or any others which I might make in the future, as hate posts. As I’ve said, I do love the show/manga - but that doesn’t make me unwilling to crique it.

Alrighty, this is where I actually end the rant.

Thanks for coming y’all,

Love,

Danny

THE NARUTO SURVEY!

(I found this on FFN.)

1. Who are your favorite Naruto characters?

Kakashi, Sasuke, Naruto, Tsunade, and Mei.

2. What are your favorite pairings?

Sasunaru/Narusasu. That is it.

3. Are you a Naruto yaoi or hentai fan?

I'm a, I-Need-My-Fav-Characters-To-Be-Happy-First fan. I don't care what happens so long as there is happiness by the end. Smut and flirtation are great and all, but not the most important thing.

4. Ever cosplayed Naruto characters?

Sasuke once, in the privacy of my room. I had half of his hairdo for a while.

5. List your collection of Naruto junk and merchandise, if any:

A Team 7 Kaleidoscope, 2 Naruto PS2 games, a Naruto keychain, and several manga.

6. Have you ever felt that you were destined to be with a Naruto character?

No. I ship too much to imagine myself with someone I have already mentally set up with someone else.

7. NaruHina or KibaHina?

I don't ship either, but I don't want Hinata with Naruto in any fashion. So KibaHina I suppose.

8. SasuSaku or SasuNaru?

Sasunaru/Narusasu! Don't even get me started on the sham that is sasusaku and boruto. 

9. Which team is your favorite? Team 7 or Team Gai?

Team 7, because it has three of my fav characters in it. Sakura is a let down though, but we can ignore her.

10. Did you support the obito theory? (Tobi=Obito)

Yeah.

11. Did you support the 'Yondaime is Naruto's father' theory?

Yes! In episode 2, 3, or 4 of Naruto, there is a moment of panning over the Hokage's office and they show the photos of the former Hokage. He had the hair and eyes, and until Deidara, was the only character with similar coloring to Naruto. I started the anime in 2007, so I believed for soooo long that he was Naruto’s father!

And I actually got it right! I rarely ever get things like that right so it was a big deal for me.

12. Your favorite Akatsuki member?

Itachi. And maybe Konan.

13. Are you Pro-Sasuke or Anti-Sasuke?

Pro-Sasuke. Danzo fucked him and his entire clan over. Kid needed help but for some reason no adult thought to get him any. I’m not shocked though. Traumatized kids never seem to get the help them need. And then it’s too late.

14. Have you seen all Naruto episodes so far (including Shippuden and fillers)?

Yep. Boruto doesn't count. I ain't watching it.

15. Have you read all the chapters so far?

Yes. Except Boruto. Ain’t doing it.

16. Do you believe Naruto has ADD?

No. He pays attention when he is interested and doesn't find it difficult to. If he is bored he will find other things to do. Boundless energy doesn't always mean ADD or ADHD.

17. Sub or dub?

I don't care. The Eng dub voices are more attractive and I only use subs when testing my Japanese.

18. Pro-Sakura or Anti-Sakura?

Anti-Sakura! I have so many posts explaining why I hate her character.

19. Tobi = Annoying or funny?

50/50.

20. Do you even know who Tobi is?

Yeah.

21. Gai = Sexy beast or Ugly nerd?

Nix the haircut and I'm sure I could evaluate him better. And yes, he’s a nerd, but there is nothing wrong with that.

22. Which character would be the best crossdresser?

Naruto. He already likes turning himself into voluptuous women. He would have had to pay intense attention(as shown by his training of Konohamaru in the Oiroke no Jutsu) to the female form and mannerisms if he can pull it off so well.

Naruto also got his father’s pretty face. Minato would be another good one I’m certain.

23. Rock Lee = Weird or Awesome?

40%/60%.

24. Which character would be best OOC? Who and how?

Naruto. I am a grudge holder and would love to see him hating Konoha for his shit life. I am not the kind to forgive easily and I don’t forget. This is why I love all the fics with him not caring about people, or being a blunt little prick.

25. Do you like Naruto fanfics?

I write them, dammit!

26. Do you write Naruto fanfics?

See above answers.

27. Do you like lemons?

Ah... such an old term. You know this is an old ass quiz. Smut is fine but in moderation. Not everything needs sex to be good.

28. Do your parents know about the Naruto characters?

I have ranted to my mom about anti-sakujra shit and pro SNS shit for years. She couldn't get into it like with Inuyasha, but she knows some characters upon first glance thanks to my whining.

29. Have you watched the Naruto Abridged Series?

Mhm. It was okay.

30. Have you seen The Naruto Ultimate Fanflashes? The ones by Fiori Party, or MskyDragon?

No.

31. Have you ever gotten someone else hooked on Naruto?

I don’t think so. I have people reading my HP/Naruto fic despite never watching the show, but I don’t think that counts.

32. Have you ever been drawing Naruto in school and has someone recognized it?

Once in 7th grade. It lead into an argument on FMA of all things.

33. Have you ever been in class drawing Naruto and the teacher came up to you and said 'WTF is this?'

No.

34. Did Naruto affect your school life and grades?

No. Not even when writing fanfic during class.

35. Are you broke thanks to Naruto?

No. 

36. Do you want to read Icha Icha Paradise?

Yes! I want to know how much Jiraiya really knows! Is he the expert he claims to be?

37. Did you support the 'Yondaime is the Akatsuki Leader' theory?

Nope.

38. Do you draw Naruto fanart? If so, count how many there are in your gallery.

 2 pieces. Both for different fics of mine.

39. Is Sasuke still sexy in his second stage of the cursed seal?

He's okay. Get rid of the creepy ass old-lady-hand-looking wings and he’s fine.

40. Do you have a Naruto OC?

Yes! Her name is Hikari and she is from my fic WWYDI?. She is a SI-OC who is more of a mix of me and 3 other people. I got so much hate for her and it was glorious to continue to piss people off. Of course I lost interest after 75% of the feedback was all haters or whiners.

41. Looking back at some of your answers, do you think Naruto has taken over your life?

No. I do other stuff now, but I dedicate time now and then to come back to it.

I did it! Woo!
