Art For A Project Im Working On That I Never Ended Up Using

Dude chill. I just gave my opinion on the ship after reading a dozen fics. At the end of the day they are my opinion. I think instead of aggressively accusing me of something, maybe you should relax and not take everything as an attack or micro aggression. It’s easy to call people out on black or white thinking but it also applies to you too. The reason why no one called me out is because a few dozen people agree with me. It’s that simple. You can disagree with my opinion on Sasuke’s character and we can agree to disagree.

I think Boruto era Naruto x Sasuke shippers need to understand that Sasuke won’t be a better partner if he’s with Naruto. It doesnt matter if he secretly elopes with Naruto, he won’t be staying. He has commitment issues and literally can’t stay in one place for too long. I know he loves his brother still but his brother is the sole reason why he’s an incredibly damaged individual who literally will never recover from his trauma. I get that it’s super complicated but it’s one of those things that are indescribable. His brother fucked him over when he didn’t need to (the 518400 times thing) that he fundamentally changed his brain chemistry.

Additionally, I feel like he can’t handle the responsibility of his personal life. He’s the kinda guy who will leave people on read or delivered for months you know? It’s the emotional baggage and genuinely wanting solitude even though he knows it’s not the best path for him. It’s almost like a bad habit, constantly wanting to be alone even though what gets you through the day is knowing you have loved ones waiting for you at home.

Romance does not factor into his character, he’s barely involved with his family because his trauma and baggage goes beyond that.

In canon, it’s because of his job and his past actions that make him feel unwelcome in the village sure. But why should he care about people he doesn’t know? The people he knows want him back more often. He just doesn’t want to for his atonement. He does prioritize Naruto over his family but he still sees the guy like every few years for half an hour before he teleports away again. He doesn’t even hang out with him when he’s back.

What I’m trying to say is that he would 100% treat Naruto the same way he treats Sakura as a romantic partner. Which is find excuses to not hang out and immediately leave after work is done.

People write fanfics about them owning an apartment or whatever, divorcing their partners to be with eachother, etc. yes it’s fanfic lol people can do whatever they want but I would love to read a fic that explores what I’m talking about here.

“Why are you so obsessed with getting in my way?!”

-“Because…you’re my friend.”

Just entered my Malcolm in the middle phase

Rebirth Date Spoilers

Yall if you got the Tifa date in chapter 12 - you’re gonna be pissed about what happens in chapter 13 and 14.

On a serious note, people have been so disingenuous about the Aerith vs Tifa dates. Both sides cherry picked specific lines from their respective date scenes to prove one side over another. When you look at the whole thing, it’s more complicated than that.

Additionally, if you’re purposefully rude to one girl during your gameplay because you hate the character, then I don’t think the outcome you got was the “intended” canon.

Cloud likes both girls and no, he wouldn’t treat one girl worse than the other “canonically” - you the player made it that way. The outcome that you got from doing that is what you wanted and that’s fine because it’s your play through of it - but it doesn’t mean it’s “canon” or else you will be so surprised in the last two chapters when Cloud gets a lot of screen time with one girl over the other.

I don’t mean this as just a dig at Tifa fans but I think her fans are more aggressive than Aerith fans, just from some peoples reactions to chapters 13 and 14.

the real reason howl kept his castle moving was tax evasion

Naruto is fucking insane bc as someone who's never actually watched the anime, I'll have just THE gayest shit pop up on my dash of Sasuke and Naruto, and when I go "oh hey nice edit, this looks really good" I FIND OUT ITS CANON OFFICIAL MEDIA DIRECTLY FROM THE ANIME??? Insane. How did they get away with that.

NARUTO STANS I NEED YOUR HELP

I finished watching Naruto + Shippuden a few weeks ago and I’m so sad I put the show off for DECADES. I never watched it growing up despite watching a lot of anime and all my friends talking about it.

The only thing I knew about Naruto was that it was about ninjas and there was some bad guy with long hair.

Now that I’m into the fandom, I really wish I was in the loop while the show aired. Naruto seems to be forgotten by the general public and the fandom spaces seem really small. I vaguely heard all of the online discussion back in the day was on facebook or Naruto forums which are hard to access now.

I NEED THE KNOW THE TEA, EVERYONES THOUGHTS OF ANYTHING WHILE THE SHOW AIRED. Like what were the biggest theories, discussions, discourse, what did people think about the story, plot, characters, dub vs sub, anything. What were the community memes back in the day? What were peoples reactions to the arcs or major or minor plot lines.

Like what did people think about Sasuke ever changing outfits, or the five Kage summit arc, or the MEMES BACK IN THE DAY?!?!

I truly missed out and now no one really discusses this show outside of nostalgia because of Boruto. Oh also what did people feel about Boruto? And also the Naruto movies because there are like a dozen of them and the show aired for 15 years. What did people feel about the filler and flashbacks? How was the fandom like during anime cons or during the school yard/water cooler breaks with your workers if you were working when it aired?

Literally opening this discussion for word vomit and any and all thoughts.

IM JUST SO SAD AND HAPPY I WATCHED NARUTO AFTER IGNORING IT FOR SO LONG 😭

INUYASHA STANS I NEED YOUR HELP

I vividly remember watching an inuyasha movie/really well animated long sequence where Inuyasha and a black hair girl who I assume is Kagome fighting someone who ice powers. Inuyasha gets trapped into a giant ice block. The ice block scatters and there is blood everywhere. Like it’s really graphic and low key traumatic for seven year old me. It’s heavily implied that Inuyasha died. BUT like 10-20 minutes later, Inuyasha comes back somehow and keeps fighting in this prolonged fight sequence with someone.

Is this a real thing that happened or did I just imagine it? I vividly remember that Inuyasha was the character because of his red robe, white hair and dog like features. I had seen his character design before seeing the sequence while channel surfing.

I have one friend who watched Inuyasha and is somewhat confident what I’m describing is from one of the movies or the OVAs.

Please help it’s been bothering me that I can’t find it 😭😭😭

Dang they knew each other for that long. Dion did not seem too bothered during their breakup.

how can i live on like this
