[spicylizzard]

My kny swap au◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜

Quick note– they are ordered by ranking

🫀Uppermoons ᭪꒷꒦

(Aka, the hashira in this au)

Kokushibo — Basically just swapped with Yoriichi

Douma — Basically, he just swapped with Shinobu and lost his wife Kotoha to Shinobu, and that's why he wants revenge. Not as strong as og Douma since he spent months not training to take care of kotoha and baby inosuke. He's the Ice hashira, which is quite similar to mist breathing and a bit performative. Uses fans to spread the cold/freeze demons.

Akaza — In this au, he was saved by Urokodaki instead of Keizo. He trained and worked as a slayer until he met Koyuki, and once they got married, he retired early and took over the dojo, taking care of Koyuki and training. He does occasionally train demon slayers, but he still participated in the final battle.

Hantengu — a former hashira too frail to train.

Zohakuten — The “Dragon Hashira” (a mix between serpent and wind but the snake is a Dragon) and takes care of Hantengu when he can.

(The next clones aren't hashira, they're regular slayers)

Sekido — a demon slayer that uses lightning breathing whose too blinded by any anger to rank up.

Karaku — A wind demon slayer that's too hyper yet lazy and doesn't train A much as he should

Urogi — Also uses wind breathing and hides in trees, yet he also doesn't train like he should.

Aizetsu — uses mist breathing but is too full of sorrow to actually train or work.

(The “dont train enough” part is too show how they dont work together very well rather then their “lazyness”)

Nakime — 1. The “music hashira” (a slight mix between sound and wind) and is just as destructive as it is beautiful. She is blind but relies on her heightened hearing (like canon zenitsu's) yet still plays Biwa for fun.

2. She could also be one of swap Muzan's adopted children in this au

Gyokko — Basically just Haganezuka but has a mask that matches his og's face since he likes being weird/abstract art. Does pottery for fun.

Gyutaro & Daki — 1. Muzan's adopted kids. Self explanatory really. Gyutaro has the curse (aka hes Kiriya)

2. Douma's children/helpers. Basically they could replace the “caterpillar girls” (sumi, Kiyo, Naho) alongside rui

3. They could also be the tokito twins, basically Ume dies from being burnt but they are rescued by Lady Rei. After Ume is pronounced dead, he becomes the “Plauge Hashira” (plauge breathing is a mix of wisteria poision/insect breathing in general and mist) if Ume were the one to live she would either use flower or water (maybe insect or love..)

Kaigaku — 1. Swapped with Zenitsu

2. Could also replace kotestsu

3. Him and Zenitsu could also be the Tokito twins

(Sorry its short i just dont care for Kaigaku tbh)

🎋Lowermoons ^᪲᪲᪲꒷꒦

(The ones who actually got screentime..)

Kyogai — uses Stone Breathing (you can decide if he's hashira or not) and does poetry for fun. A bit of a downer.

Rui — 1. Basically the rengoku family but with insect or spider breathing.

2. Could also be one of Muzan's adopted kids

Enmu — 1. Would likely use “Dream breathing” or help around the “Ice mansion.”

2. Could be the Love Hashira

🎎 Hashira꒱꒷꒦´-

(Aka the uppermoons & lowermoons)

Yoriichi — swapped with Kokushibo/michikatsu basically.

Demon name: Kuraitaiyō (暗い太陽)

Uppermoon 1

Gyomei — could basically do what nakime does. Only eats kids and pretends to be a home for the lost or claim hes a monk/Buddha. Was turned into a demon after the orphans died.

Demon name: Shinoi (死の家)

Uppermoon four

Sanemi — basically uses what karaku uses but also uses swords or claws. Was turned into a demon after he lost his family (he didnt save genya).

Demon name: Kazaha (風刃)

Uppermoon 2

Giyu — basically gave up after Sabito dies and offered himself to Kagaya. He has multiple arms out his abdomen in his final form and uses water fists that are actually like concrete. Uses attacks similar to Gyokko's.

Demon name: Kōsui (硬水)

Uppermoon 3

Muichiro & Yuichiro — basically just Gyutaro and daki. They can merge and pretend to be lost children to lure their victims. Yuichiro is stronger and uses more strength based attacks while Muichiro relies on speed. They can turn their fists and feet into wood and use their hair to fight (like Daki's obi belt).

Demon names: mui: Hayaki (速い霧) yui: Tsuyoiri (強い霧)

Uppermoon 5 (replaced by mitsuri)

Obanai — serpent demon. His hair has some snakes too and they let out a poison which causes their victim to have strong, overbearing hallucinations. Still runs the cult.

Demon name: Dokumu (毒霧)

Lowermoon 2

Mitsuri — switches between her disguise as a mother and oiran to keep hidden. One of her eyes hypnotizes men when open and she often uses that so they kill themselves her hair also extends as a weapon. Often around Obanai but isn't known to like him.

Demon name: Yūdokuna (有毒な愛)

Uppermoon 5

Kyojuro — uses flame attacks and flame breathing since he often disguises as a demon slayer to not get caught at night. He also has fingertips that catch on fire and stuff.

Demon name: Niseono (偽の炎)

Uppermoon 6

Tengen — Very much a crystal demon. Weapons extends out of his hands. Him and his wives move like Hantengu and his clones. His wives often act as oiran/geishas or just flirt with men and women to get victims. Still not very strong.

Demon names: Kurisutarupurāku (nicknamed Kurisu) (クリスタルプラーク)

Suma: Rapisu (ラピス)

Makio: Kiirono (黄色の結晶)

Hinatsuru: Murasakiiro (紫色の水晶)

Lowermoon 1

Shinobu — Pretends to be a doctor and either poisions them or just eats them. Can release butterflies if she wants which carry poision. In legitimate battles she often relies on speed and uses a stinger like spear.

Demon name: Dokuchō (毒蝶)

Lowermoon 3

(Btw their names are just shortened/slightly edited versions of tye kanjis' next to them. So if you wanna know the meaning, translate the kanjis)

🍙Kamaboko squad

Tanjiro — Hes a demon 🤷‍♀️

Nezuko — shes a slayer 🤷‍♀️ was saved by Koyuki and was trained by Hakuji. She wears a BROWN haori not a pink one.

Inosuke — Douma's son (not biological) still has a big ego but less wild. Uses ice breathing instead of beast breathing.

Zenitsu — 1. lightning demon. Aka swapped with Kaigaku. Still named zenitsu.

2. Douma's adopted son.

Kanao — was apart of Shinobu's cult alongside Kanae and Aoi until Kanae died. She was then taken in by Koyuki and then moved to the Ice mansion to help around. She was only supposed to stay until kotoha gave birth but stuck around.

Aoi — was also taken in by Koyuki and was taught water breathing by Hakuji and stuck around, training with them and helping around.

Genya — 1. Hes a Lowermoon with similar attacks to Sanemi's.

2. A helper in the ice mansion.

(Bonus)

Caterpillar girls — still a part of Shinobu's cult and are all demons.

[the-bitterest-breakups-poll]

Poll: Round 1B #3

*Reminder that Break up is being used loosely here and not all relationships may be romantic in nature

Propaganda under cut:

John Doe and Arthur and Lester:

-They fall on the platonic/qpr breakup side. The two share a body after a supernatural incident, so when they fight it gets extremely messy for both- Arthur controls most of the body’s movement but is blind, while John can see through their eyes but only has limited control over other parts of the body. Usually John narrates what’s in front of them, but when they have a particularly bad fight he’ll leave Arthur to stumble around in the dark or intentionally give him bad information, even when it means both get hurt. Their two most prominent ‘breakups’ (they physically cannot separate but have on occasion fallen out so badly that they refuse to talk to each other) happened in two subsequent seasons of the show. In the first, Arthur and Johns’ tense companionship reached a boiling point when Arthur killed an old woman and John revealed that he killed Arthur’s best friend, so John refused to talk to him and left him to get arrested. In the second, John lied to Arthur and then brought up his dead daughter as leverage in the resulting fight not days after being trusted with that information, leading to their now genuine friendship being fractured again (and them going to jail again, but a much worse one).

Kotestsu and Barnaby

-I'm just talking about the second movie (they do make up in the end but the entire city has to chant Kotetsu's name to join Barnaby again)

[alex-drawings]

[43sol]

Sis wrote the most crack, most spelling-error, most uninformed oneshot of T&B that is somehow in-character and awful and I cried real tears of horror and joy. My heart is full right now. imma draw a Most Serious comic of this.

~~~~

Baranby opens his texting app fully expecting that the old  man was having another crisis only to be pleasantly surprised at the content of the messages. 

---

The rapid fire rate of incoming  texts could only mean one person was the sender. 

Hey Bunny-chan!!!~  (^_-)-☆

Crazy week right??! ( ༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ ) 

Well i dont know bout you but i want to kick back and have soem FUn 

And guess what?

And he supposes at this point Kotestu had wanted him to guess but he didn’t answer in the appropriate time alloted and grew impatient. 

Director got me some coupons to a fancy restaurant

And since we still havnet gotten our drinks yet 

Meet me friday at this location!! ∩(·ω·)∩

An address pops into his maps. 

Dont forget to dress up! (≧∇≦)/

—-

Barnaby should have known that something was up when the old man told him to dress up but he was too distracted by the butterflies in his stomach and the heat in his cheeks to think clearly. And by the time Friday rolled around, he had already arrived 20 minutes early dressed in his nines when reality finally began to sober him up. 

He can’t believe he wasted the suit that (as Fire Embelm put it) “made his ass extra phat” on this place. 

He stands there a little too long slack-jawed that Kotetsu actually finds him outside the restaurant. 

“Hey Bunny-chan!” he says in a way that makes Baranby’s heart flutter but also gives him the urge to wrap his hands around that thick sturdy neck, “glad you could make it!”

And there he is. Dressed in his normal clothes.

“I thought you said to dress fancy?” 

“Uh yeah, see?” He does a little twirl and tips his cap forward. “I got my shirt ironed.”

“Old man-” but before he could finish he is ushered inside and they are seated in ‘the best seat in the house’ because oh god Kotestsu actually made a reservation. 

This establishment  is a place Baranby never thought he would in a million years find himself in. But since meeting Wild Tiger, these event have been happening more and more often. 

Looking around the Texas-style decor, the waiters in cowboy outfits and just so much bovine memorabilia…

“This is Tyson Bison Steakhouse and Winery.”

“Yeah super fancy right?!” 

“It’s a franchise.”

“A fancy franchise!”

“There is a cardboard cut out of Tyson Bison behind you.”

“ It’s like having our friends here but not!”

Obviously nothing could ruin the good mood for Kotetsu T Karuragi. Who has seduced not one, but two people in his life with his buffoonary. 

“Whatever.” 

“That’s the spirit! And don’t worry,” he takes the coupons out of his vest and fans himself with them like a rich old lady, “Dinner’s on me!”

—-

Ok. The food wasn’t horrible. 

And the company wasn’t either. 

Maybe he was even enjoying himself? Maybe Kotetsu-san really did have good ideas sometimes. They needed some time to let loose. What was a better place no one would bother them than the franchise chain one of their friends/coworkers sponsors?

And then the check came. 

Kotetsu, in total confidence, hands the cowboy-waiter his coupons with a smile and a wink. The cowboy-waiter is not impressed. 

“Sir, these coupons are good for a free appetizer. I still need your payment information.” 

Wild Tiger laughs nervously. 

Barnaby starts to feel his blood pressure rise. 

“But you see my buddy, the DIRECTOR OF JUSTICE, gave these to me. For a meal here!”

“Yes and the coupons are good for an appetizer.” 

“I don’t see that written here.”

“Please look at the fine print sir.” 

Oh course the old man’s downfall was him being …well old. 

Barnaby decides to throw him a bone especially since the dinner wasn’t that bad. He pulls out his credit card only to be stopped by Tiger grabbing his wrist. 

“I can’t let you do that Bunny. I’m treatin’ ya today.” 

He scoffs. “You didn’t bring enough money old man, I’ll pay.” 

“No I am.” 

“an d how are you going to do that?” 

Kotetsu points to the cardboard cut out behind him. “That’s how.”

“You can’t be serious” 

“You can’t be serious sir”

“I’m very serious Bunny. The sign says if I can finish a 35 ib steak in 20 mins the meal is free.” Kotetsu turns to the waiter, “So bring me my steak!”

“Sir please.”

“Kotetsu san please, this is ridiculous.”

But Kotetsu already is re seated, tying a bib around his neck, fork and knife ready. 

“Bring me my steak!” 

With much horror, Sternbuild’s number one hero watches as the wait staff bring out a massive steak to his waiting partner and a large comically hourglass. 

The original cowboy-waiter looks like he wants to be anywhere but here. But regardless he does his job, “Begin!” 

And Kotetsu shoves the steak into his mouth.

Which lasts about 20 seconds.

Barnaby watches in horror as his work partner and life buddy makes the universal sign for choking and falls to the restaurant floor. 

Diners begin screaming and the wait staff begin scrambling to call the ambulance. 

Barnaby himself falls to the floor next to Tiger’s side as the love of his life gasps and spits out steak chunks. 

Once the coughing subsides, Barnaby can make out a raspy (but sexy) words, “I’m sorry Bunny-chan… I just wanted… to show you a good time…”

“Old man, you’re so stupid…” He would of had fun regardless of where they were. 

Still coughing but able to sit up, “Next time… you choose the place!” 

Barnaby couldn’t help but chuckle. 

“We will waive your bill if you leave now.” Both of the heroes turn to see the original cowboy-waiter behind them, “and if you two never come back we won’t press charges.”

Summer 3rd Banner rolls part 1

[ncji]

Brat Tamer Confirmed?

Rating: Teen? Yeah, I'd say teen.

Summary: The local BDsM community tries to categorize a certain Hyuuga.

"Everyone thinks Sasuke is so dangerous. He's an overgrown brat who needs to be taught a lesson."

Neji's conversation with his teammate reached the curious ears of a certain pair of chuunin, the more carefree of which jabbed his companion in the ribs with his elbow. "Brat tamer confirmed?"

Izumo gave Kotetsu a light shove for the jab. "How? He doesn't have the patience. Pure Dominant."

Behind them, a usually light-hearted voice was low and scolding. "He's barely eighteen..."

The pair turned in unison to see Maito Gai with his arms folded across his chest and his normally bright expression shadowed with disappointment. The two almost apologized for the inappropriate conversation about his student, but--

"Give him enough time to realize he's a Master," the jounin told them, smirking with pride.

Kotetsu's features brightened, and he chuckled--

--a sound that was eclipsed by the laughter of one Hatake Kakashi. The ever-present mask covered his mouth, but not necessarily the smirk it was curved into. "You're all on the wrong side of the spectrum."

Confused about where he had come from, Gai scouted for more possible spies. "Are we talking about the same person?" He had never known Neji to be submissive. Even Gai was intimidated by him.

Kakashi contained his amusement as he casually strode between the Hyuuga and his teammate, Lee. As he cut through the pair, his book coincidentally slipped out of his hand and landed at Neji's feet. There it sat, while the three of them stared at it. "Hand that to me," Kakashi eventually requested of Neji.

Neji was immediately defiant, face scrunched up in confusion. "Why? Did you hurt your back, old man?"

Despite the insult, the copy nin's tone became softer, warmer. "It's the respectful thing to do, isn't it, Neji-kun?"

The cogs turned in Neji's head for a moment, softening his features with each rotation, and, eventually, he bent down and retrieved the book for Kakashi.

Book in hand, Kakashi smiled with enough force to squint his one exposed eye and tapped Neji beneath the chin with it. "Good boy."

The older group observed as Neji held a sour expression until Kakashi rounded a corner. Then, pink flooded his cheeks and he lost the battle against the proud smile pulling at his lips.

Izumo groaned. "Oh no..."

Beside him, Kotetsu pumped his fist in the air. Sure, he had been wrong, but there was something worth celebrating. "Yes! My brother in backtalk! He's a brat!"

Brow furrowed, Gai considered what he had just witnessed. "I hate how much sense that makes..." He then jumped a clean foot into the air when Kakashi's voice broke into the conversation behind him.

"It was obvious."

The whole group was surprised to hear Genma's input. "You're all idiots." The tokubetsu jounin was judging them all over Kotestsu's shoulder, with both his words and his eyes. "He is not a brat."

As much as he hated the addition to the community, Izumo shook his head. "The proof was in the smile, Genma."

"Brats aren't for everyone, yeah, but you can't deny them. As a representative of the SAM community in Konoha, I, for one, welcome another bratty little brother. I hope he makes some poor Dom's life a living Hell, and Heaven," Kotetsu declared.

Genma just shook his head, making the group feel like they weren't worth his time, and left their nonsense conversation to join Neji, who had just been abandoned by his teammate. "I saw what you did for Kakashi."

The Hyuuga prodigy restrained himself from rolling his eyes. "He didn't even ask. He just told me to do it. He's lucky I did it at all."

"Still, you did it, and that was mature of you." After brushing the thick veil of hair away from Neji's ear, Genma leaned in to whisper, though his mouth formed every syllable clearly enough for the snooping group to read. "Daddy's proud of you."

The color on Neji's face was immediately vibrant, and he didn't resist the smile that tugged at his lips. He was positively preening.

Kotetsu made a face. "I withdraw my support."

His best friend snorted. "He's still kind of a brat?"

"What am I missing?" Gai was clueless, probably because he hadn't even tried to read Genma's lips.

Kakashi was defeated. "He's a Daddy's boy...A sub with daddy issues. All Daddies' boys are brats if you're not up to the standard their Daddies set, which is an impossible standard..." Honestly, how was anyone supposed to live up to the standard of a Dom and a paternal figure?

"It could be worse. He could be a little," Izumo reasoned, though it was obvious he found the situation funny. It turned out Neji was his little brother in behaving.

Kotetsu groaned in disgust. "The worst part is Daddies' boys are good boys!"

"Why are you even part of this community if you won't obey?" It was a years long disagreement between the best friends that had yet to come to a conclusion. Izumo, as a true submissive, just could not understand.

"...Hold on..."

All five eyes fell on Gai, who seemed to finally be understanding what he had just witnessed. The chuunin were curious if he would, and Kakashi was hopeful.

"...GENMAAA!!!"

"Oh," was Kakashi's sudden realization that Genma was Gai's teammate and a 33-year-old man that Gai's 18-year-old student was definitely sleeping with...and calling Daddy. Kakashi wrapped him in a restraining embrace and shouted to the other two. "Tell Daddy and his boy that Gai's about to make sure Genma goes out to get some milk and never comes home."

[vibe-howie]

drew these after watching conjor 2 (I fucken loved it!!)

Idk I was sort of disappointed by the finally, I just think it would be funnier if Kotetsu power only lasted 4 minutes

I just think of all the joke opportunities

idk I feel bitterfor kotestsu to be powerless but I'll see what they'll do in the movie( holds gun "we better get another movie"

RECS: 8 Spirit Anime For Your Supernatural Needs This Season

  Autumn is the Spooky Season: ghosts, spirits, and all things supernatural. As the boundary wanes between this world and the beyond, our needs for all things haunting grow. Dark tidings cloud our minds, and soon our watchlists will be overrun with spooky series. Let’s check out some of our favorite spirit anime you should be watching this time of year.

  Mononoke

  Image via YouTube

  Bizarre and psychedelic, Mononoke is not your typical horror anime. Bright and beautiful, the series chooses to explore the ugliness of the human heart with its cinematography, sound design, and surreal animation, rather than typical dark lighting and gore. At its core, the five arcs pay homage to Japanese folklore and kabuki performances. The story follows “Medicine Seller,” roaming, nameless, and mysterious, as they journey across feudal Japan. This character discovers, exposes, and slays mononoke, or malicious spirits, that come from malevolent human desires. In order to unsheathe the Sacred Sword they carry and perform an exorcism, they must find the shape, truth, and reason of the spirit.

  Mushi-shi

  Image via Funimation

  Like Mononoke, Mushi-shi is episodic, haunting, and lovely. It also follows a medicine man of sorts named Ginko. Ginko has the ability to see and interact with paranormal beings, also known as “mushi.” However, unlike the malicious spirits of Mononoke, the mushi exist without goals or purpose. They are simply beings. Ginko meets and assists many people who are either cursed or blessed by the mushi, interested in these primitive creatures that possess supernatural powers and the complex relationships found between mushi and mankind. This series drips with hushed tension and evokes a strange combination of both fear and fascination.

  Noragami

  Image via Funimation

  Yato is a down-on-his-luck god with big dreams of having his own shrine and tons of followers. Hiyori is just your average high school student who loves watching wrestling. The two have nothing in common, that is until Hiyori saves Yato and results in having her soul leave her body. With the newfound ability to see gods and spirits, Hiyori joins Yato and his spiritual weapon, Yukine, in the hopes of turning back to normal. The three’s lives intertwine and become inseparable. The series boasts beautiful animation, deep characters, a captivating plot, and an extensive soundtrack. Rooted in the Shinto tradition, Noragami contains dark story-telling elements with staccato bursts of laughter and a romantic flavor to boot.  

  Mob Psycho 100

    This anime follows Shigeo Kageyama, or “Mob,” an incredibly powerful esper. While Mob does all he can to lead a normal life and suppress his powers, sometimes he can’t help but give in to his emotions. He discovers his powers have the terrible capacity to harm others and cause destruction. Therefore, he meets and decides to work for Arataka Reigen (a charlatan exorcist claiming to be a psychic) in hopes of better learning how to control his powers. Jam-packed with beautifully animated battle sequences, quirky humor, and complex characters, Mob Psycho 100 is a tale of accepting one's self, living positively, and trusting others. 

  Kamisama Kiss

  Image via Funimation

  Feeling more romantic? Then these next series might be worth your gander. Kamisama Kiss follows Nanami, a victim of her father’s gambling problem who ends up homeless. When a mysterious man, Mikage, offers to give her shelter as a reward for helping him fend off a dog, Nanami accepts. However, this isn’t your average apartment or home – but a shrine. What’s more, she has become the land god of this place. Here she meets Tomoe, Mikage’s familiar and yokai who distrusts her, as well as Onikiri and Kotestsu, the keepers of the shrine. Ultimately a tale of finding a home and ones’ place in the world, Kamisama Kiss is a cute love story weaving in threads of the supernatural life of spirits and gods.

  Inuyasha

    Inuyasha follows Kagome Higurashi, your average 15-year-old girl living at her family’s Shinto shrine in modern-day Tokyo. However, unknown to Kagome, she is actually the reincarnation of a powerful priestess named Kikyo. After a demon drags her down an old well, she’s transported to the feudal, warring states era. Kagome discovers the Sacred Jewel inside her, but after it is shattered by another demon and scattered across the world, she decides to team up with a half-demon named Inuyasha and collect the shards, restore the jewel, and discover the culprit behind Kikyo’s death. A fantasy adventure full of action-packed battles, creative ghostly storytelling, comedic bursts, and a romantic love triangle, this series has a little something for everyone.

  Beyond the Boundary

    Mirai Kuriyama is not your average high school student. She is a Spirit World Warrior who can bend her blood into the shape of a sword. The last surviving member of her clan and destined to slay youmu, Mirai stabs an immortal half-yomu and classmate, Akihito Kanbara. Determined to help Mirai gain confidence, Akihito makes it his mission to help Mirai and the pair’s lives become intertwined. Beautifully animated and full of drama, action, and soaked in its own special supernatural sauce, Beyond the Boundary blurs the boundaries between the human and spirit world.

  Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-

    Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits- follows Aoi Tsubaki, a college student with the inherited ability to see Ayakashi from her late grandfather. Upon meeting Odanna, an Ogre Ayakashi, she’s carried to the Hidden Realm under the pretense that she will be Odanna’s bride to pay for her grandfather’s debt. Repulsed by the idea of marriage, Aoi decides to pay back the debt by working at Tenjin-ya, a bed and breakfast for spirits. A romantic tale of courage, the supernatural, and finding one’s place in the world.

Hanakotoba

Written for @theseireitei​‘s April Writing and Art Challenge.

Title: Hanakotoba Characters: Kotetsu Isane, Kotestsu Kiyone, Kuchiki Rukia, Yamada Hanatarō Pairing: Isane Kotetsu/Retsu Unohana Genre: Post TYBW, Grief, Acceptance, Inspiration quotes are like flowers, in abundance Summary:

During times of discretion and solace, where after a nightmare Isane would wake up to find a single flower on the pillow next to her. Of secret messages left in the hidden language of the flower. It became something for them, a way to communicate outside of the norm. A way that was unique to them. Still smiling Isane had reached out for the flower, finger gently running down the side of the red petal. A perfect flower, held in stasis with kidō. The moment her finger touched the petal, the kidō unravelled, the stasis keeping the flower fresh faded and so to did the longevity of the flower. It wilted, the petals crumbling and littering the table. Isane's smile faded and she choked back a sob. The innocence of the flower so marred by the crumbling of the stasis a stark reminder of why Isane was here and the answers she was looking for.

After the war, Isane struggles to continue moving forward, trapped in her own grief she loses herself and forgets to bloom. For even flowers, once trampled, grow again.

[depressedkakashihatake]

Imagine Genma, Raidou, Kotetsu, Izumo, Aoba and Ebisu in the Actor AU finding that meme "Those 2 guys from Naruto but not that guy, and not those other 2 guys"

Genma’s head hits the desk. Like, how rude???

Raidou, Kotestsu and Izumo are laughing their ass off. This is hilarious to them.

Aoba is a lttle mortofied but also sort of understands.

Ebisu’s just upset he seems to be forever known as a pervert. Of course, he’s bot as passionatly against being called a perv as Kakashi. Kakashi will fight a b****

[faevi]

Can i please have some Sakumo headcannons? Possibly dating HCs? I'd like SFW/NSFW please. Sakumo Hatake needs so much more lovin' (If he's too much of a challenge then i would like Kotestsu and Izumo instead)

Coming right up! It’s not a challenge (: I hope I’m accurate enough and that you enjoy.Temporarily Closed  | ABOUT ・ RULES ・Message!

——————————————————————————–

HEADCANONS: SFW / NSFW Dating HCs for Sakumo Hatake!

NOTES: Brief NSFW details.

Sakumo Hatake is known across Konoha for being a kind soul and often looking out for anyone who lives in the village. He’s also known to be very traditional. Now before you begin to think of stereotypical traditional men who hate any kind of change or the idea of society evolving, Sakumo is not  that kind of man. He’s traditional when it comes to dating. Sakumo highly prefers to be the one who asks his partner out for a pleasant date, buying bouquet of beautiful flowers to express his love and he’s especially going out of his way regularly to please his partner. Her happiness is his happiness.

Even though Konoha’s white fang prefers to be traditional and be the one to ask his partner out on his date; Sakumo is overly ecstatic when his partner asks him out every so often. He enjoys feeling wanted and loved as well.

As mentioned, Sakumo is a very kind man and he is also extremely loyal. I believe that this would be shown in how he dates as well. He is loyal to his partner and would express this through actions or words. Not to mention I don’t think his partner would have met anyone as kind as Sakumo.

Sakumo is deeply committed to the woman he loves. In fact he is so committed that he is completely blind to any form of flirting from anyone else besides his lover. He doesn’t glance at any other beautiful woman and if that happens, it’s not out of attraction or desire.

We know that his son Kakashi, is notorious for being late and while that logically makes sense from visiting certain graves… They say that the apple doesn’t fall from the tree! Yep, Sakumo is also late to dates and it’s merely because he’s busy helping others and refuses to leave them when they’re still in trouble. It may not be as often as his son, but it happens. He tries to make up for it with sweet words.

In the story, we all know of how Sakumo cares for people intensely. It’s the reason that the particular mission failed, he couldn’t let his comrades die and that definitely should be admired. Not for being a failure but for caring about those in your team. Anyways enough of that, I don’t want to hurt our hearts! The reason this is brought up is the fact that his lover would always felt cared for; through the use of words and gestures. You could say these tie up with points above so a little bit of elaboration: Sakumo would go out of his way for his partner and that includes signing his partner up for health checkups at the hospital, cooking nutritious meals (especially breakfasts in bed) and everyday asking about if there’s been any issues and if she’s happy. The answer is usually a huge yes. 

A lot of bonding over volunteering for anything that Konoha needs. Gardening? Check. Delivering messages? Check. Even setting up for festivals! This is an activity close to his heart. He’s happy to be able to work for the village he loves with the love of his life.

Safe to say he loves intensely and passionately just about everyday. Unless sadly, he’s on a mission! Sakumo expresses that it is his duty to go on these missions as a shinobi. He likes the sound of his partner whining about missing him but also appreciates that she usually understands. Sakumo only ever gets huffy if she insists he stays for another week for rest if he is sick or injured but, he’s never mad about it.

Sakumo is actually open to affection and even in public. Now it’s nothing bold! Just simple hand holding and a few pecks on the lips. He isn’t the fan of heavy make out sessions on the streets, even if they can’t be seen. For him, that always stays in the bedroom.

Being one of Konoha’s best shinobi has it’s perks. He is perceptive. Sakumo can pick up on his partner’s mood, even if they’re desperate to keep it hidden. He understands that sometimes silence is needed and so will not pressure for his girlfriend to tell him what’s wrong but also mentions that he is open to talking about feelings and problems. He doesn’t want her to be suffocating and depressed. Sakumo will know what cheers his girlfriend up.

Sakumo is a really big fan of massages, especially after a mission.

Sakumo is also a traditional man in bed. Some may view this badly but it doesn’t mean he rejects making love before marriage. He’s just not wild in the bedroom and wants to do ‘ridiculous’ (in his opinion) stunts. He’s a fan of missionary; especially when he can hold her hands in his and stare directly down at her face and so he knows what feels good for her. Besides he’s just a sucker for his partner looking cute beneath him.

He is a gentle lover and never rough because he only wants to be rough when he is on missions, not with his girlfriend. Sakumo would be very hesitant when it comes to even spanking or hair pulling; there would be a lot of questions and making sure that this is what his partner wants.

Rarely open to experimenting but isn’t against it. He finds it hard to say no to his partner if they’re begging him and being adorable about it. So don’t worry!

As well as being gentle, he is passionate. His lover is always left trembling from the intense pleasure and may feel it the next day. It’s a bit of a boost in his ego, too.

Sakumo looooooves to cuddle afterwards and is left smiling as he holds onto his girlfriend, feeling happy with how wonderful his life is.
