I simply passively reblog what I like. Pretty and interesting stuff, current events sometimes, and fandom related stuff. My main fandoms are Transformers, Pokemon and Star Trek. A little Bionicle and other shows will pop up too.
Enjoy!
THIS FUCKING SHOW WILL NEVER STOP MAKING ME FUCKING CRY.
OH GOD. THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS EVERYTHING TO ME DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!
NARUTO TELLING HIM YOU WERE THE FIRST TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME. YOU MADE ME A NINJA.
IRUKA JUST FUCKING SAYING THIS:
I MEAN YEAH WHY DON'T YOU TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL. HE CONSIDERS HIM HIS LITTLE BROTHER/FOSTER SON. FUCK.
EVEN FUCKING BEE TELLING HIM. THAT YES. YOU HAVE SHAPED THAT BOY. YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM HIS VALUES. YOU PLAYED A MAJOR PART IN MAKING HIM WHO HE IS.
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING:
IRUKA TELLS HIM TO COME BACK ALIVE. NOT TO FIGHT HONORABLY. OR ANYTHING ABOUT HIS DUTY. NOT EVEN ANYTHING ABOUT THE FUCKING NINE TAILS. NOT LETTING IT FALL INTO ENEMY HANDS. WHICH THE WHOLE WAR IS ABOUT. NO.
HE JUST WANTS NARUTO TO COME BACK ALIVE. NO MATTER WHAT.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?! DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND?! IRUKA DOESN'T GIVE TWO FUCKS ABOUT THE WAR COMPARED TO NARUTO.
....that Kakashi now shares an onsen/hot spring obsession with (yes, Iruka's official hobby is going to hot springs)
...who Kakashi feels comfortable opening up about his struggles with insomnia in idle chats (雑談 was translated to "conversation' in English... not wrong, but lost the nuance)
....and going to him to discuss Hokage work troubles in private
...and Iruka is comfortable enough with him to laugh off Kakashi's concerns and offer advice ("笑い飛ばす" was translated in English just as "laughed", again, not incorrect but lacks nuance)
...where Kakashi remembers Iruka's every word with perfect recollection while in the middle of a stealth operation
....which Kakashi screwed up anyway because he was too distracted with grinning with amusement at the memory of Iruka's proud face (that particular description of him smiling was left out of the English translation entirely)
...that Kakashi knows before he even set foot in the village that Sarada is staying with Iruka (even though that happened after Kakashi had already left the village and he's been communicating urgent events by hawk...I guess it's something important enough to share with him by someone🤷)
...that Kakashi knows is very skilled at cooking now (side note, love that Iruka taught Sarada how to cook one of Kakashi's favorite foods, salted saury/mackerel pike, so thank you, Sasuke Retsuden)
....that Kakashi knows Iruka is good at all sorts of house work and keeps a neat house despite of Iruka living alone as a bachelor like himself
The thing is, after reading through all the official novel materials I can get my hands on... there is no label on Kakashi's relationship to Iruka in anywhere... (unless you count how Kakashi counted Iruka and Naruto and Gai and Tsunade and everyone else as his comrades in his first book).
Throughout the Hiden/Shinden/Retsuden novels, we see that Obito and Gai are described as Kakashi's 親友/closest friends, Team Minato are his important teammates, Team 7 are the students he is proud of, Tenzou is his trusted junior, the younger generation is the future he'd die to protect....and then there's Iruka, someone only mentioned as principal at the Academy, the only person aside from Rin and Ichiraku folks to have definitively been shown Kakashi's bare face, and more importantly, he is the only one who has been shown Kakashi's face because Kakashi chose to, and not because Kakashi had to for one reason or another.
And it really is one thing if they actually don't have a relationship beyond work colleagues, but it is clear based on all the social cues in the manga, anime, and novels that not only do they have a relationship, but it is a very comfortable and familiar one (I say novels because Iruka and Kakashi's relationship gets revisited in the canon novel for Boruto's genin exam story.)
There is just no official label for them.
They are just those furigana "between the lines" type of guys. (Furigana Rubi, by Kazuhiko Inoue/Kakashi and Toshihiko Seki/Iruka)
i'm usually not one for the jealousy trope but man....i do think the concept of sanji being insecure about usopp seemingly always going to zoro for protection and he's bitter about it and doesn't even know why he feels that way has the potential to be so funny. he just wants usopp's attention and praise and it drives him crazy because he's an idiot that doesn't even realize he's in love. bonus if zoro picks up on the situation and sure, he mostly finds it annoying because being the crew's protector is just who he is, he can't help if usopp comes to him; but he definitely does ham it up a bit just to piss off sanji
actually this is so funny blurr just comes in like I LIVED BITCH and shockwave who has already been having a horrible time sitting here thinking about how bad he fcked up is like OH GOD DAMN IT NO FUCKING WAY
Love me this antler assassin. I was debating giving him shapeshifting powers, considering he’s a spy and the lore of the show, but I really liked the idea that he uses his real face when infiltrating and instead uses his power to shadow himself and create the “Shockwave” persona.
Him also being more robotic than human adds to his duplicitous nature and makes him more intimidating. That and I genuinely love how he looks as a robot and wanted to translate as much of that as possible in his human form.
