Anime: Luck & Logic

[730flare]

This is like my entire childhood in a nutshell.

If you played with Barbies,

Polly Pockets,

Beanie Babies,

Tamagotchi,

Slip N’ Slide,

And Furbies,

Listened to the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSync and the Spice Girls

On Hit Clips, a Boom Box, or a Walkman,

Collected and traded Pokemon cards,

Wrote with Gel Pens,

Wore butterfly clips,

And Snap Bracelets,

And remember watching these guys:

Master Post

This is just a master post of my various short essays, rants, ask responses, and the like I think are useful and good. Going to try to pin this at the top of the blog. I’ll update it as I add more.

Posts and Essays: Long-Form NaruHina Essay: On NaruHina’s development in the manga. No Hinata, No Life: On how the statement Naruto doesn’t understand the difference between love of ramen and people is actually far deeper than considered. Parallels, and other Such Things: On how oft-cited parallels in Naruto don’t actually support what some people say they do, and how MinaKushi more closely resembles NaruHina than NaruSaku. You Never Liked The Character: On how saying “I like x character, but not how they we used” is often just a cowardly way of saying “I don’t like x character.” Hinata does not ‘Crush’ on Naruto: On how calling Hinata’s feeling a 'crush’ misses the mark of what they are. Zettai ni Mamoru: On how Naruto’s declaration of wanting to protect Hinata has a deeper, cultural meaning, and is evident long before he says it. Neji’s Death: On Neji dying and what it meant for the character and the story. Naruto and the Social Library: On why Naruto’s inabilty to understand various emotions, including Hinata’s for him and his own, is entirely in line with his character. Cognitive Dissonance and the Anti-Crowd: On why the Anti-Crowd is the way they are, explained with Cognitive Dissonance and Jonathan Haidt’s Social Intuitionist model. Also note an ask reply I did that builds on this. Enduring Love: On the meaning of Sakura’s words about love in the Last, why Hinata seems lacking in confidence in the same, and Masashi Kishimoto’s oft misunderstood 'terrible woman quote.’ Bonus bit on Greek philology also included. The Two Strains of Anti: On the two strains of anti thought and why their worldviews are often incompatible with yours. On Konoha Politics: On why the Konoha politics are not fascism. On Shinobi States: On the growth of nations and states in the Naruto story and why the ending is different than the previous iterations of peace. A Defense of Gaiden: On Gaiden, Sasuke’s personality and history, and how that interacts with SasuSaku dynamics. A Defense of a Defense: On the previous essay, an expansion and furtherance. Steppe Nomads: On steppe nomads, and the spread of culture and language.

Ask Responses: (Note: hopelessly outdated, needs updated…)  Why do you ship NaruHina? What about the scene with Yamato about Sakura’s feelings? Why isn’t SasuSaku toxic? Can you list NaruHina dev? What about Naruto and Sai’s conversation? How can Anti’s rant about SasuSaku being abusive compared to their ships? Anti’s proving the essay right in complaining about the essay? Did NaruSaku or SasuNaruSasu even have a chance of being canon? Are folks who complain about Sasuke 'giving up’ on his revolution legit? Why are the anti-crowd so in rage when other people ship things that didn’t become canon either? Are 'sister ships’ bunk? How much of the fandom actually cares about ships? Is SasuSaku the most hated pairing? Did Kishimoto 'sell out?’ Was the NaruSaku fandom robbed? Do you genuinely think Hinata is a good character? Do you believe SasuSaku was formed out of gratitude? Is Hinata too ‘Narutocentric?’ A long ask about the Last and canon.

How about better than some anime/manga?

Reblog if you have read fan fiction better than some published books

Fuck. What can I say. I love this girl like my own child. And that is exactly how it should be. We’ve seen her grow so much from the shy stalker of 12 to the beautiful woman that she is now. I can’t praise her enough, but there are some points I want to bring up about why her character deserves so...

So recently, I’ve seen a couple of arguments revolving around “Minato and Hinata” and”Sakura to Kushina.”

I’m bored so please bare with me on this. I don’t think I ever got the chance to fully express my opinion on this topic (If I have then it must have been a while ago). There are some pro...

1. Neji’s Death

- I can’t tell you how many posts I read involving Neji’s death. I read so many things like “Hinata didn’t give a crap about Neji’s death” or “Neji’s death was just highly irrelevant to Hinata” and even “Hinata just went back to thinking about Naruto AFTER Neji died for her.”...

Imma put this out there because if I don’t I won’t be able to get my work done( gotta test imma blow tomarrow)

Sakura + Kushina:

Things that make people think Sakura is like Kushina and why they are not accurate or SHALLOW:

-Tomboy

-Temper

-Hair

-Low self-esteem

-verbal ticks

A possible reason I can think off (I apologize if this sounds sexist) is that most shippers tend to be girls. As a result, they usually side with whoever girl is more alike to them and would bash the other cause she represents their competition, whether for the boy or in other aspects of life. Or they just can't stand the other girl and how she acts. It's sad, but it's how it is in real life, especially for high schoolers.

This is something that’s been bothering me for quite some time, so I feel like I should write a post about it. So why do fandoms pit girls against each other? I see this happening a lot in bleach and Naruto fandoms (‘m just picking on these two fandoms because they’re the ones I’ve been involved...

Naruto was alone and lonely throughout his entire childhood. But even after he stopped being lonely, he was still alone.

He didn’t have anyone to come home to as everyone else did. Despite having friends, he didn’t have any person in his life who physically or verbally showed or told him every...

The poll was organized by Animage, an anime specialized magazine.

While looking for a second source, I realized that they do it periodically and this is the most recent poll.

Happy and sad.

So happy to see that most NaruHina fans like Sakura.

However it's also sad to see that most NaruSaku fans hate Hinata.

You know what's better?

I just realized something, you know what's as good or even better than NaruHina being canon?

It's that they'll forever be immortalized as an official couple in anime/manga history. I mean not only do they have a movie about their love story (which was even critically acclaimed), but they already have merchandise and official art showcasing them together as a couple.

Considering how big Naruto is in the anime world, I know for sure that the movie is probably just the tip of the iceberg on showcasing NaruHina. There's still the anime, video games, and many more.

Man it really DOES make the saying "To the victor goes the spoils" a hundred times sweeter. After the past years of little to no NaruHina goodies, seeing them come by in hordes after being canonized is just oh so satisfying.
