SAKURA’S CONFESSION

SAKURA’S CONFESSION

Honest to god, I hate that the Sakura confession scene has been so hated. I never thought it would be so controversial.

But one take I haven’t seen and maybe I’m alone on this was that, when I first watched the scene, I honest to god that it was a test run from the authour’s side to see how fans would ACTUALLY react if Sakura did develop feelings towards Naruto.

I truly do believe even though the writer had his planned final pairings, that he still did test around with toying with the idea of different pairings like Naruto x Sakura.

Remember when Yamato during the bridge arc made a comment towards Sakura about her care towards Naruto? I think the bridge arc was when someone said in one of the databooks, Sakura was noted to be confused about her thoughts on Naruto. It was implied that she was maybe developing feelings towards him post timeskip.

As a NaruSaku shipper, I see the confession scene was the ultimate acknowledgement of the slow romantic tension that had built around the two. I know this is super subjective but still.

Anyway, during her confession, I remember she was blushing and shit, honestly I took that initially as her admitting to herself that “yeah I guess I’m saying something I kinda been feeling lately out loud and it kinda feels good”. I don’t know why so many people took her confessions as super evil and manipulative. Again, I know I’m being bias but my girl isn’t a good liar come on. When she lies, she does that closed smile thing with a voice crack.

Also, remember when Naruto rejected her confession and they started arguing about the validity of her confession and she was like “why are you telling me I’m wrong” moment. To me, that means it was more genuine and if anything she was shocked that Naruto thought she was lying.

Now, I’m not saying she didn’t have ulterior motives or anything. She of course did but I think that she honest to god was okay with “settling” with Naruto. Like at some point in early Shippuden, she started to like both of her comrades.

I know people like to sanitize the romances between the characters because it’s cleaner that way. It is messy if characters marry their partners but the story also acknowledges that they crushed on other people before then. I’ve seen people purposely not acknowledge his long term crush on Sakura because well, he’s married to Hinata but like cmon guys - let’s not do that because that is a narrative change and something you can really downplay because there are 200+ episodes of the guy liking another girl who isn’t his future wife.

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.

Unpopular opinion but Cid’s character model in Rebirth is off. He’s too pretty when he should be more ruffed up like Barret :/

I Need To See His Nude Model

I need to see his nude model

I use to think Vaan (Dissidia games) or Firion were great but Clive is clearly the most attractive.

No malicious intent cuz I’m ace yall - I just like looking at his body

Also it seems he has a huge butt too which is rare for video game dudes lol

This Is The Energy I Bring To A Lot Of Ships

Like I don't actually care about the ship by itself but it being canon would piss off a specific group of people and that is always funny.

I think the stage play did a decent job of adapting this two :)

Also really like the costuming too.

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.

THISSS^^^

We NEED MORE GAMER GIRLIES OR THOSE WHO CARE ABOUT THE INTEGRITY OF SEPHY FANFICS. People who love Sephy and played the game will look up the fanfics after playing or something, only to find it mainly or noticeably coming from folks who didn’t get his character because they only watched crisis core on YouTube and skipped half of the cutscenes that didn’t feature him. That are they watched advent children and based his entire dom daddy personality on that alone and nothing else.

We are fully capable of writing good Sephy fics if more people took the time to actually enjoy FF7, not just watch the spin off material and call it a day.
