But Sasuke Is Too Damaged To Be A Good Partner. Have You Seen Boruto? In Canon, He’s Not Great. He’s

But Sasuke is too damaged to be a good partner. Have you seen Boruto? In canon, he’s not great. He’s not the angry child he was as a teenager but it seems his character development leaned into being less angry than being a better friend or partner. He still does the bare minimum and gets rewarded for it. The canon explanation for his actions are work-related but the writers can’t write him to be more involved because it doesn’t align with his character. Yes there are my opinions but I take them from the canon and assess it on my own. If you keep up with Boruto, you know that I literally reference the plot points without actually citing and referencing them. At the end of the day, it seems you only have an issue with the one sentence that I wrote “damaged and can never recover”. I don’t know what to say, you gotta read the next sentence and more. I said it’s complicated and I never directly said he’s a bad partner, he’s just not a good one because people want more from him that he can’t give due to writing issues. Naruto and Sakura (from my understanding) want much more in a partner than what Sasuke can provide. He’s not doing it purposely to hurt them, he just wants to be alone but as a father and husband he can’t. That’s not a bad thing because it’s better for him in the end.

Regarding trauma, I don’t know what to say - I know enough not to engage too much on that topic here. I’m talking about a fictional character who has deep trauma. He’s not a real person so what you stated previously doesn’t really matter to me or apply. Me making that comment doesn’t mean it’s a reflection on how I view people with real pain. He has a fictional past and issues. The writers can absolutely retcon his entire backstory by tomorrow. What I said about his character doesn’t exactly apply to real people. He is a fictional character in a story with a beginning and end. Within that space, he’s not a great partner or friend. The canon reasonings for enough positive development on that area seems to be from his backstory. It just goes against his character I guess. It sounds like you relate a lot to Sasuke’s trauma and feel personally attacked by my comment. That’s my only comment on your personal being.

I don’t think I said anything particularly awful, if anything I reiterated the canon material with my own spin on the wording. I also didn’t say I felt attacked, I just said you were aggressive accusing me of being a bad person. We will agree to disagree there and the world keeps moving. I still do think you need to chill. You’re not gonna survive the real world if you are losing it after a comment like that about Naruto x Sasuke.

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.

YESSSS!!

It’s so confusing to finish the games and see the fanfics of him, cloud and secondary characters and EVERYONE is mis-characterized because it’s written from the perspective of someone who watched ff7 crisis core with no context and had to rely on typical anime tropes to somewhat understand it. If the writer doesn’t even know what Jenova is, it hurts the story. Also like who is your target audience boo? Other people who have not played the games and only understand the characters through fanart?

Yall I love all of you Sephiroth girlies but I have a big favour to ask yall.

PLEASE PLAY THE GAMES. Dont just watch only watch the 40 minute Sephiroth cutscene on YouTube and base your entire perception of the guy. If yall at least learned the plot of the game, you would really appreciate the character more.

MORE OVER, THE QUALITY OF SEPHIROTH FANFICS WOULD INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY IF YALL COULD REFERENCES SOME OF THE GAME’S LOCATIONS AND NAIL DOWN SUPPORTING CHARACTER MOTIVATIONS AND PERSONALITY.

Some of yall don’t know Sephiroth’s characterization and seem to go off your personal headcanons or use typical anime tropes when writing him. Sephiroth isn’t some anime bad boy, he’s vindictive, petty and scary soft spoken. Just look at how he flicked Aerith’s blood off his masamune towards Cloud. Or when his hand kept running up Cloud’s back and up unto his neck in one of Cloud’s hallucinations. I get that from watching clips out of context, his actions might seem like a dom daddy and all but he’s more than that if you see it through different perspectives. Like don’t forget, he’s trying to destroy the world with a giant meteor crashing down and wiping everyone out.

Just putting it out there.

I wonder how much hate I’d get if I said that despite, all of the sns content I post or repost, I don’t actually ship them.

I noticed the change in Naruto’s behaviour towards Sasuke during Shippuden and rather than more earnestly be upset about it, I coped and made jokes on here about how Naruto’s feelings towards Sasuke derailed the character the potential Shippuden had.

MY BIGGEST ROMAN EMPIRE/QI DYNASTY THOUGH has to be Naruto x Sakura or NaruSaku. ALSO JUST SAKURA’s marriage.

I’ve never made a single post about it but I genuinely really warmed up to the ship early Shippuden because I thought Sakura developed a crush on Naruto and they had a better dynamic there.

I also really grown to adore Sakura so I love her as a character. I CANNOT stand how much Sasuke disrespects her in Shippuden thou. Holy shit I was so mad when he fake-killed her at the end of the war arc OMG. She’s already disrespected by the authour and fans, I just want her to have good things happen to her fully, not some half assed manner like her ending. I understand that the authour genuinely believes that his writing of female characters is acceptable, which is why he continues to write them that way and call it a happy ending but still.

She’s done so dirty everywhere, I just want her to have one genuine win with no strings attached.

I know she married the love of her life but she didn’t get what she wanted. She’s still seen by most people and in-universe characters as a lonely wife and “single” mother raising her child all by herself while her husband doesn’t contact her. She’s in a marriage where I don’t think she expected Sasuke to have some dumb ass plot barrier stopping him from coming back to the leaf when they initially got together. Of course, she loves him enough to deal with his absence but canon wise, she’s not happy about it but has to keep a brave face when questioned about it by Sasuke. Cuz that’s her character, she’s not going to complain about it, it’s out of his control (ugh). There are times where she’s clearly settled with her circumstances but LIKE AS A GENUINE FAN OF HER CHARACTER, I dont want that for her. It’s not a happy ending if she’s still lonely and never gets to see her man. For Christ sake, it was clear in the anime that she’s not even used to his touch because she hadn’t felt his touch in a decade by then. It’s so sad and I wanted better but the authour refuses because he believes it’s in character and makes sense for their relationship to still have barriers.

Like she will always accommodate for him but he just “can’t put in the same effort” and she might as well just deal with it with a smile on her face.

Like she’s so successful but she chose to marry a bum. Sure it might be true love but double standards much?

I understand that Sasuke is written a little bit like Jiraiya where he’s never at one place for too long and Sakura likes more serious personalities in her men (and I guess men who go against the grain?) but she prefers that kind of guy but also someone who is there for her. They’re just not compatible and it’s like upsetting to watch. Sakura can only enjoy half of her marriage because she only got half of what she wanted.

How does this connect back to Naruto x Sakura thou? Again I thought the feelings were mutual during Shippuden and was sad when they weren’t but for Naruto, he seems to at least like his wife.

Please be mindful that if her marriage isn’t written the way it is, I would not be complaining like this.
