1. Go out of his way to spend time with Naruto
2. Believe in Naruto
3. Feed Naruto, even when it’s forbidden
4. Steal glances at Naruto and smile
5. Smile at Naruto in general
6. Think about Naruto with a longing expression
7. Protect Naruto from other people, even after he decided to kill him
8. Be touched by Naruto’s words enough to cry
9. Initiate touch with Naruto
10. Be more worried about Naruto than killing Itachi
11. Notice little things about Naruto
12. Be more impacted by Naruto than anybody
13. Watch Naruto from afar and constantly pay attention to him on the low
Notice how many things apply to Naruto and not to Sakura. He’s smiled at her on occasion and protected her as well…but that’s really the extent of it. Naruto is the one that Sasuke was truly close to, the one he truly loved and yearned for. It makes me so sad to see this all overlooked and brushed aside when his feelings for Naruto are such a huge part of his character. SS shippers are obsessed with being “canon” but this is all canon too and not for the sake of making more money. We don’t need Sasuke to act OOC to make our ship work. Naruto is Sasuke’s “one and only”, he said so himself and that will always be true.
LOVE SPELL Wip
Will be finisched tommorow :)
Click got better quality cuz I don’t know the size my art posts are suppose to be :D
cordiform-thoughts helped me with the ideas with Sasuke’s imagination *_* I loved them so much *_*
Lmfao wait Kishi actually made the tea and juice comment about SS?! I thought that was just a meme joke going around, that's priceless 😂
I think when Kishi made the tea and juice comment he was referring to a lot of things Sasuke was forced to do that felt OOC, including returning to the village, getting together with Sakura, etc etc. Here’s the important part from this interview:
Q: To you, Sensei, what characters are easy to work with?
Kishimoto: Thinking “I want to have a character behave like this” changes depending on the circumstances, so it’s the same for every character. There weren’t any especially difficult characters. Although Sasuke may have been difficult in that he had many scenes where if I didn’t give him various circumstances, it meant that it wouldn’t have worked. Because I had decided from the beginning how the characters would be established, I couldn’t have them do things that the characters wouldn’t do.
Q: What specifically do you mean by that?
Kishimoto: Say for instance that Sasuke is a character that likes tea, so if tea shows up in a scene, he’ll drink it, but if it was juice, I don’t think he would drink it because he doesn’t like it. But if I turn it into a setting where the story won’t advance if he doesn’t drink juice, I have to employ a different pattern from when tea shows up or it doesn’t work. But if it is decided that he will drink juice, his character image is messed up. That’s why I ended up giving so many different circumstances to Sasuke, who appears in so many scenes.
Q: I see.
Kishimoto: In the same way, I also couldn’t have Naruto speak complicated words. To a certain degree, it was ok if it was something he had experienced, but if he suddenly said something grown up about something where he had no experience, it would be a lie. I had decided the characters first, so that wouldn’t have worked honestly.
Q: During serialization, were you writing with the characters’ romances also decided in advance?
Kishimoto: I wasn’t very conscious of it. I thought I would leave the course of it up to them. I wrote it while wondering if Sasuke and Sakura would get together and how it would be. I didn’t write Sakura in the position of heroine. Naruto was special because he was the main character, but all other characters were equal, regardless of who were main or side characters. The characters would decide based how it would work in the story. But along the way, I thought that Naruto and Sakura were different. I somehow decided [their romances] at a pretty early phase.
Q: So you left it up to the characters.
Kishimoto: In the same way that the beginning of romance is not very conscious, you might say it was not very conscious for me. I’m embarrassed to write it, so in truth, there were parts that I didn’t want to write (laughs). In “The Last -Naruto the Movie-” Naruto’s romance was written, so I was happy that the parts that I myself could not write could be seen in the movie.
He had to force Sasuke’s character into many situations Sasuke’s character, as he was written, wouldn’t get himself into or wouldn’t make certain decisions within those situations. Kishimoto basically constantly wrote himself into a corner with Sasuke, and as a result he broke his character into OOC territory many times to progress the story in a way he wanted to.
And in regards to romance he, again, reveals that he had no interest in writing it. He was embarrassed by the thought of even trying to write it. So SP took over writing the romance and he went along with it, resulting in the most obvious of “force Sasuke to drink juice” scenarios in all of the manga. But romance is only a small part when it comes to Kishimoto forcing his own plans on Sasuke despite Sasuke’s character opposing those decisions.
But it makes you wonder, doesn’t it, what Sasuke’s character would have chosen if he were given the option to avoid the “juice”? Would he have left the village permanently and never ended up with Sakura? Would he have ended up with Karin? Would he have ended up with Naruto? Would he have stayed single? Would have have continued with his plans for revolution or convinced Naruto to bring justice to the world together with him? We’ll never know. But it’s interesting that we now know these are possibilities that would’ve made more sense for Sasuke’s character, straight from Kishimoto’s own interpretation of Sasuke’s character. The creator admits that Sasuke was forced to be OOC for many scenarios of this manga, that’s interesting as hell.
this is what ruvik thinks everyday
sasuhina modern Au. Sasuke would still be an emo and Hinata a wallflower
My Sasuke❤️❤️
Queer eye but instead of 5 gay men showing up and fixing your life, 3 gay men show up and become your dads and also sing abba songs
Naruto is so attracted to Sasuke’s look
