#Kishi's world building really sucks

[randomnameless]

Is there any group who copes this badly that their waifu/fave is the villain of their own game/show than Edelfuckwits?

I've heard dark stories about Griffith fans lol, but nowadays the only ones posting #griffithdidnothingwrong are trolls?

You could make a point about the Sasuke or Madara fans from Naruto, but I'll cut them some slack because Kishi really fumbled with the Uchiha plotline, especially the massacre/genocide (it's weirdly justified because apparently they were all BaD and wanted to rebel, everyone, from grandma uchiha who gives cookies to Sasuke to the unseen children and babies a clan must have had because you're not a clan if only the clan head has a kid under 10) and Pierrot (I guess they're the ones who decided to add fillers in the anime?)'s hard on against Danzo, because they wanted Sasuke to have someone to hate and/or someone responsible for everything that happened to him and his clan.

Do you other examples yourself, anon?

[justsomeoneunordinary]

unpopular opinion maybe but i am SO glad that kishi never gave us a founders spin-off or that madara didn't win that naruto poll or anything in that direction bc while yeah, i do think it's a shame that we have so little canon material to begin with and that literally no women are even mentioned, at the end of the day, he would only ruin everything if he were to write a spin-off. hashirama's story only lasts for a very few chapters and it's full of inconsistencies, and you want that same man to write more abt it? put faith in his world building abilities when naruto ended like that? trust he's gonna write mito well when he really hasn't a great track of writing women in general??

hell nah. it may suck that we have so little but i will always prefer it this way rather than getting all our headcanons and hopes ruined. thanks but no thanks

Naruto and Sasuke aren’t portrayed as the best parents in Boruto but I’m curious if they suck at being fathers because of who they’re with or simply because they’re not that keen on being parents. It’s weird because they both seem like family-oriented people. What did you think they’d be like as parents? Same as in Boruto or nah?

Hey anon.

Kishimoto never really meant for them to have kids, he didn't want Boruto, but as circumstances were, he had to say yes. It's not just about the money he would be earning, but there are lots of people connected with this type of production, it's a big production, an established earner. It's not only about Kishimoto. So he had to drop weapons.

Sasuke and Naruto weren't supposed to be married to women. Kishi wanted to give them an open ending. Which would have been the best option of all possible scenarios.

But in order to make Boruto viable, he made them marry women, and have miserable and dysfunctional family lives, because neither of them really wanted to. The story had to have some give at the end so Kishi could make sense of it. So the way he made sense of it was to keep Naruto closeted, make him overworked and do something he wouldn't find any joy in and hence changing his characterisation, make Sasuke distant from his family that was quite visibly forced on him, and make him work for the shinobi world for the sake of Naruto, because he loves Naruto.

They both were always motivated by family, but the tragic ending made both of them quite unlike them. The writing of Boruto needed for both of them to become unlike what they were, if they were the same people, Boruto wouldn't exist.

I never thought of them as being parents honestly. They were both kids in Naruto and Shippuden, they were both struggling, I just wanted them to be with each other, because the story made me feel that that's all they really wanted for families, each other. Sasuke never really considered anyone other than his family to be close to him, except for Naruto. Naruto could have the world as friends/family but would still choose Sasuke over all of them. Sure, he considers Konoha his family, but make him choose between them and Sasuke, he would rather die with Sasuke then be with Konoha.

If they can't be with each other after everything they both went through, and if they are forced to be with people they don't like or find simply tolerable, if they are hiding or denying some very important truths about themselves, why would they be happy? In Boruto, they both seem like they have given up. They have been trying to make it work for years, the way they are, living like two straight men given their wordly burdens, rearing families they never wanted, why wouldn't they be unhappy?

Kishimoto needed their story to end tragically for Boruto to exist. And Naruto being closeted while being burdened with heavy responsibilities and expectations, Sasuke being of the mind to keep loving Naruto no matter what but generally depressed because he is living a lie, and everything else had to fall in place for Boruto to exist.

If I had to guess what they would have been like if they ended up together and had a family, I think they would have been wonderful parents. They understand everything that needs to be understood about loneliness and the need of a family for a child. In an ideal world, they would have made their kids feel loved, I can bet on that.

It's not just about who they are with. It's the world they live in. Of which Hinata, Sakura are a part. Shinobi world is not the kind of world where they could have been together, Naruto wanted Sasuke to live and be by his side, Sasuke wanted to be at Naruto's side as well, but unfortunately, it wouldn't have been possible as lovers. And all of it fit within shounen guidelines, as in to not have two gay main characters. Kishimoto's world building, narrative and characterisation, all these factors worked together to give birth to Boruto at the end. And then he nerfed both of them, made them depressed, made their kids ugly and spoilt and pointless, made their wives invisible or entirely irrelevant, and the story of Boruto total crap.

This is what happens when Kishimoto doesn't get to do what he wants.

You think Kishimoto doesn't know Boruto sucks? Of course he does. Boruto objectively sucks and a lot of shit in it doesn't make sense. For Kishimoto, who took such care in building this world and the characters living in it, you think he doesn't know how inferior it looks and reads in Boruto as compared to his earlier work?

He pointedly nerfed the best looking and most popular characters in Boruto, when in the manga/anime world, the character design matters a whole lot. These characters need to look visually striking, remarkable, distinct and unique, the nature of this industry demands it. These character designs pave the way for merchandise being sold, there's a huge market for it in the otaku world. Why would Kishi deliberately make them look like tired typical 40 year old dads, the mainest of all characters? If money was the only objective, he wouldn't have done that. I just feel like he wanted to sabotage Boruto, in his own stealthy ways.

He was put under a lot of pressure for Boruto, and he had to give in. But he doesn't have to like it. And he makes a point to show it.

[lilith-91]

Why do you dislike Boruto? Just a curiousity.

For many reasons, anon.

Boruto sucks as an MC, hes boring and Stu-ish and has no charisma whatsoever.

The side characters of the next gen are no better, and are often just "Mini Mes" of their parents which is a complete and utter lack of creativity if Ive ever seen it.

There is no attempt AT ALL to make us give a damn about any character in the series who isnt named Boruto or Kawaki...No other character has been given any focus at all on their backstory, what their motivations are, what they do when Boruto isnt around...They never even get screen time unless Boruto is there licking their goddamn face in fact.

Characters from the previous series that we love are ENTIRELY ABANDONED or BLATANTLY ASSASSINATED character wise. We have YET TO SEE KAKASHI IN THE MANGA FOR INSTANCE. KAKASHI :/ One of the 4 main characters of the previous series and easily a crowd favorite. Naruto and Sasuke are utter garbage in this series and are AT THE BEST OF TIMES functional morons. Other characters like Gai or Lee or Gaara or Temari or Bee are also just never given anything to do ever and never show up. So Kishi/Kodachi are simultaniously trying to force us to be attached to the next gen by completely shelving the old...But then...Do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WITH THE NEXT GEN to make us give a damn about them or what they are doing...Amazing stuff.

Terrible consistency and scaling with in universe strength.

 Asspulls and retcons everywhere.

The villains. They are all just generic Saturday Cartoon villains. From the way it’s going, I sincerely doubt that Boruto’s villains will ever match the likes of Madara or the Akatsuki. On terms of personality, I’ve found that none of the Otsutsuki or the asspull cyborgs have been even nearly as enjoyable to watch. I mean, we knew that when someone came into contact with the Akatsuki that they were done (as long as they weren’t our protagonists with all their plot armor). Do you remember Pain’s Invasion with Kakashi and Jiraiya’s death? The amount of pure emotion and terror those moments held was unexplainable. When we saw Madara running to fight the entire Allied Shinobi Forces, we could see each of them trembling and praying for their lives. And by the point that Boruto is currently at, Naruto also had Orochimaru, who at one point was just about the scariest person in the show. I mean, seeing Kakashi shaking with fear in front of him, the very person who had defeated Zabuza (both he and Haku were also amazing), that just had a whole different effect. So far, none of Boruto’s antagonists have really gotten to us that much.

And to make things worse, every 2nd villain is somehow both simultaneously made into a Naruto/Sasuke level threat out of nowhere, but also able to be defeated by 12 year olds with incomplete and shitty versions of Naruto and Sasukes own abilities...Which completely and totally discredits everything Naruto and Sasuke (and other characters too) did to get as strong as they are and how they suffered to get to that point, and as I said, takes all tension out of the story.

Kurama died to nerf Naruto. A CHARACTER was killed off to nerf another character. No. Just no.

Ninja tech.  I don't know if it's just me but ninja tech has become a cheap plot coupon if not outright bad writing. Technology is becoming an excuse to put any power you want in the series and pretty much jeopardizes all established world building.  In a way, this just basically ruins the Ninja concept that we got from Naruto. I don’t think they were required to introduce this, I seriously don’t like it. The War Arc megazords are bad, but the scientific ninja tools are far worse.  It's true that ninja tech will make the tradititional Shinobi obsolete (meh) but there should be at least a decent framework on how it works instead of creating any BS power you feel like and labeling it as Ninja Tech. Chakra and Natural Energy were both largely explained and while they can do many extraordinary things they have limitations of Magic A is Magic A. Ninja tech is poorly explained and is pretty much Magic B without any known constraints which is already derrailing this series way too much. I want Kishi to give Ninja Tech limitations and a working logic but I don't have much hope for it.

I miss when Konoha would actually look like a village, and not a bad copy of New York city. I don't know, at this point i'm expecting a Ferrari or something after the time skip.

Honestly I dont understand what anyone actually enjoys about the series.  I'm beginning to wonder if Naruto fans and Boruto fans are completely different because of how easily they are accepting some of these nonsense plots.

A/N: For Crybaby Anon :’) I’m not sure if I filled this request correctly!! But here is some angsty tender smut anyway. Nomad Steve/Reader again because hmmm. Listen to: Kishi Bashi - Bright Whites

~1k words. Please stop reading if you are not 18+

brooklyn after dark masterlist

It goes to his head.

The blue wall. The yellow lamp. Somber shades of orange and grey-green where they touch like a muddy watercolor bloom. Splayed under paper-thin covers, your crown dipping off the edge of the bed, throat laboring with every gulp of air. A stormy midday nap where neither party quite gets any sleep at all.

Kisses to your collar, your breasts, he slides the sheet down with his nose, savors new warmth of exposed skin—your belly, your hip, your softness. Hands find each other, one of his on the flesh of your waist.

Steve’s dizzy on it. Selfish for it. A love he never imagined he’d have—a love he’d stopped yearning for long ago. But here you are, beneath his body, and he’ll never stop feeling star-struck at the sight.

“Baby,” he sighs, kissing-- kissing, kissing-- can’t stop his lips from roaming, can’t stop his tongue from tasting. Left, then right, back over again. Drowsy meandering paths, curving and bending, pleased when you arch into his mouth, forever wanting more.

Steve buries his face between your legs, smothers praises between your thighs.

A featherlight graze and you whimper—chest rising and falling, body humming, eyes glazed over. He does it again—a little longer, a little harder, pressing in, up, where he knows to. He kisses you there like he’s kissing your mouth—tilting his head barely, slotting over the seam. He’s dedicated, takes his time, treasures every shudder, every flavor.

“Can’t get enough of you,” he says, “Gotta keep you all to myself.”

He wants everything from you. He loves everything about you. Your eyes. Your smile. Your light and loyalty. How you wrap yourself around him and all his obstinate virtue, how you don’t mind that it’s taken you to dimly lit places beneath rainclouds. Under itchy blankets in temporary homes.

A tug, fingers still locked tight, and you tell him where you need him.

Steve’s beard is damp when he comes up, bits of wetness shiny on his cheek and chin, but you press your lips to his all the same. He guides himself in, reveling in your warmth and the way you whine—airy and delicate, memorizes your face turned up-side down and blissed out.

He matches the pattern of the rain. Tepid, at first, barely falling into your body, savoring the slow drag and the sparks rolling to the tips of his fingers and toes. But he’s greedy for it—all those pretty sounds you make—how you suck in and cry out when he takes you to the edge and lets you go careening into the stars.

 So he moves faster, hips slamming into yours, releasing your hand to support your head, bracing himself above you.

“I want you looking at me,” he says, “Let me see you, sweetheart.”

So you do, blinking through the darkness and find him like a beacon, as he always has been, as he always will be. His long hair falls to one side, ashy fair, suspended and rocking along.

“’S that good? Like this?”

“Steve—” Choked out punches of sound, pitch rising and falling as your face twists, sweat collecting on your brow.

“That’s it, baby.”

“Steve—"

On the precipice of an incoming storm, thunder rolling outside the bed, above the building, and rising, too, in Steve’s belly, he works into your body, heavy-lidded and transfixed on your beautiful face. Deeper until you’re shaking, pulling your legs up over his shoulders, getting him closer, closer, closer.

His toes curl.

You shatter under a splinter of lightning. It bursts across your skin—a bright halo of purple—before it’s gone, chased by the explosion of swollen clouds.

Gasping, you turn your face toward his forearm, but he nudges you back, getting a better grip on you. And the way you look—struggling to see straight, half-sobbing his name now, helplessly writhing beneath him for more contact, for another summit to fall from—god, all the stars could align and he wouldn’t give a single fuck about anything other than this.

Another crash and the earth trembles. Your open mouth is panting for more. He takes this image—collects it inside his heart. Another. Bright whites like camera flashes and he clings on to this one, too.

He kisses your open mouth, kisses your throat, feels it twisting in his hollowed chest, that covetous guilt.

A pretty smile just for him to see and he drinks it up with dazed and devout eyes.

“I’m yours, Steve,” you say, like reading his mind, “Just yours.”

-

It’s torrential. Spiraling wind and water hitting the windows like gunfire, splattering like shrapnel. He curls around you beneath the blanket—newsprint flimsy—and he hates it, god he hates it. You go quiet but he hears the swallow in your throat. Smells the ache in the air through must and mildew.

“It’s just a little bit of bad weather,” he says, shifting his weight, “It’ll pass.”

You hum a strangled sound of agreeance. His strong girl—won’t let him see you cry-- won’t let him have another thing to burden himself with when all he has are burdens now. When the world is howling outside, astray and gone off its axis from the sun and made an enemy of him, writing him on the wrong side of history but you know the truth.

You rest your forehead against his chin, knuckles trailing through his beard—that necessary disguise you’ve come to love because it’s his, because it’s him. You rearrange suddenly, take a deep breath, and shuffle until you’ve switched places and he’s the one resting on your chest.

He tries to look up, but you turn him away.

“Hey,” Steve says, finding your hand, “Doesn’t matter what happens—outside, tomorrow, with anybody,” he grips your fingers tight. Grips you even tighter. “It’s you and me. Just you and me.” Because he’s selfish. Because he took you from a perfectly domestic life, in a safe and warm home with sturdy walls and cotton blankets, from sugary sunshine and brought you here. Some sad destiny stripped naked to its very skeleton, and who knows when either of you will really live again.

“Just a bit of bad weather,” he says again, cheek on your breast.

“I don’t mind it,” you reply, the sound vibrating through your skin.

He gets to look this time, his brow crinkling a little from this angle, corners of his lips lost in the furs of his beard. You kiss his eyes, his lashes, tell him you love him, and Steve could weep.

You stroke his blonde head, turning golden hairs in gentle spirals, and he listens to the beating of your heart like rainfall on a roof.

[its-tie-kir-ra]

I had always heard people liking it. My friend told me it made her cry and I was looking to binge a long show since I was taking an ATLA fandom/fanfic writing break. And I started to like Kakashi and wanted to look at stuff, but started to get spoiled on stuff. So I watched as much as I could for weeks. And it was good.

Anyway. One, I have not learned my lesson. Two. I have spoiled several more developments since I first asked you. But I'm still doing this. I'm just gonna be smarter about it.

***

The Sasuke vs. Naruto could have had the power to destroy everyone. Wreck us. But no... When I think of the potential, it makes me so angry. A world so rife with conflict and interesting world building, which it had for a time and then just veered in one direction HARD. And not as mad, as the author had to write 20 pages a week with no help for years. Like, that sucks and now it makes sense.

***

I was screaming at everyone to drop him. I was screaming at that one fight at the waterfall. (But then I just remembered that I had two Sases when I was in elementary. They were really not nice to me and I was still like a puppy for them for years.) But now, I really need them to drop him like a hot potato. I don't care.

Now I'm watching the show from a standpoint of "the writer wrote it that way" that's why that's happening, etc.

P.S. I haven't watched Shippuden. I would appreciate no spoilers even though I already found out that medical nin stuff a few days ago.

oh i'm sorry for spoiling it! normally when i see "i finished naruto" i assume that they mean the whole thing, because in my mind, shippuden isn't really a sequel, it's the rest of the original story.

i was shocked when it took such a downward spiral in quality. like i'd always heard things, like the filler, but the way people talk about the filler like that's the whole issue. "it's a great series, just skip the filler" is a line i hear constantly, and i'm still baffled that that's the only complaint i hear. i was at a anime expo the month just as i started it, and when i told people they were like "OH IT'S SO GOOD! YOU'LL LOVE IT! JUST SKIP THE FILLER!"

i found myself getting even more frustrated in shippuden. it's where a lot of my passive feelings towards the series (oh this isn't a masterpiece but it's not the worst thing I've watched, i can see why kids would like it) turned into straight-up rage (CURSE EVERYBODY WHO TOLD ME THIS SERIES WAS GOOD).

and you're absolutely right, the bad writing is a result mostly of Kishi not having the time to actually flesh out the world. he has a lot of really interesting ideas that i like a lot, and i'm sure if he took the time to think about it, the series would've turned out way better. if it weren't for his blatant misogyny, i would feel sorry for him.

a lot of the love for Sasuke comes from people who have finished it entirely, so idk, maybe you'll change your mind towards the end, lol. i find him mostly just very frustrating.

hope you enjoy the rest of the series? lmaoooooo. looking forward to what you have to say when you're done.

[snickiebear]

hello hello, nadia, let's get salty shall we :))) starting with no 1 ofc, 3, 4, 5, 13 (choose any character u want), 19, 20, 22, 23, 25 (again whatever ships/characters u want - tho i'm curious ab the "canon" ships o.o), 27 (feel free to choose any fandom u want too) I am DYING to know ur answers omg <33

Unpopular opinion about XXX character?HI ELE!

1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?

SasuSaku and NaruHina. SasuSaku is just.... i dont like it. I don’t like Sasuke in canon and it feels so fucking forced. Same with NaruHina. I don’t read NaruHina unless its like a background relationship. like i could do a whole post about how both relationships are basically the damn fucking thing; badass man and girl who’s crushed/obsessed over the man their entire lives. it is... i dont like it.  

3. Have you ever unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion?

yes. yes i have. i dont even remember what fandom or what they said but if i dont like something, i unfollow. i dont want that stuff in my life and i have the choice to get it out so yeahhh (i think it either had to do with sakura/lucy heartfillia or maybe even a percy jackson thing,,,,)

4. Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?*

SasuSaku. I hate it, really. unless its a total rewrite where Sasuke isn’t an asshole and Sakura isn’t obsessed with him and focuses on her development and then they get together later on and have been friends. i really don’t like it. i also don’t like canon NaruHina, it feels forced in my opinion, so same deal with SasuSaku, unless its an AU and the romance is actually developed, i dont like it. 

5. Has fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

i dont think so.... the only fandoms ive ever really been in are fairy tail, naruto, soul eater, and pjo and all of my fav pairings were usually fandom popular or widely accepted so not yet!

13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character?

-i dont like canon sakura. oops! i watched the OG naruto and i would hold those small moments that i did like her so close to my chest and i was so so disappointed on how kishi handled her character. it just makes me upset but not surprised tbh so now ive made it my mission to write her with all the potential she had 

-sasuke deserves to be angry and go out and do his thing. but also, he should be held accountable for his actions. Yes. the uchiha were treated like shit and murdered for basically no fucking reason but still. he’s OP and just like your basic “lone wolf bitchass”. 

-same with naruto. i love sunshine boys. I DO. but he... doesn’t mature?? he stays naive and ignorant (from what i remember) and he’s so god damn OP. this fic summarizes the way i feel about Sasuke and Naruto. They’re great characters, sure, but im so thankful for critical thinking fic authors who give them depth and realistic lives/characteristics.  

19. What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?

-the toxicity towards woman. its pretty prominent in like all animes tbh. it makes my blood boil and like so angry that i try to steer clear from it 

20. What is the purest ship in the fandom?

LEESAKU. i love that ship with all my heart. i feel like they’d just be so good together. like if sakura got some actual character development and lee too, they’d be so kickass and soft together. 

22. Popular character you hate?

i don’t really HATE a character, but sasuke. he irks me. i would punch him in the face and shove him into a locked room with 10 therapists. 

23. Unpopular character you love?

kishimoto sucks. sure, he wrote one of the greatest anime/mangas around. but i feel like he bit off way more than he could chew. the character development could have been so much better, world building was great tho, and tho some of the arcs were creative as hell,, the writing could have been so much better. if given the chance, i would rewrite it. 

EDIT: IM SO SORRY LMFAO I MISREAD THE QUESTION

i do like Karin, or at least fanon's intpretation of her character. Tbh, i don't like most Canon naruto characteraztions, they bother me and i wanna go in and fix all of them

25. How would you end XXX/Would you change the ending of XXX?

fairy tail: LET NATSU KISS LUCY GOD DAMNIT. 

naruto: i would need to rewrite the whole series; but in short, not have sakura want to go with sasuke. let her be happy by herself. let her want to grow in the village and help with the hospital. 

27. Least shippable character?

sasuke,,, maybe neji. but sasuke. i see him as such a flat character. like, he’s angry and stupid but ambitious. thats,,, thats it. oh! and he likes snakes and has no use for loyal friends??? idk if you can tell but i dont liek him LMAO

[reilink]

How do you feel about the Naruto Ending? At first I was Pro, but then I realized that I only liked NaruHina and don't really care for anything else in the Ending. How about you?

Liked chapter 700. Not many surprises but decent.

Hated every fucking thing about Chapter 699, the final and war arc. Naruto shippuden was just one huge clusterfuck of Uchihas breaking previously established world rules and Naruto obsessing over Sasuke and Sasuke obsessing over Itachi and Naruto.

Action sequences (in the manga) also got lame and you could tell that Kishi had no idea what to do with the story anymore. Shippuden should have ended with Pain, and if KIshimoto wanted to do more, he should have paused the manga for a few years for some fresh new concepts to come up with and then create a second time skip for Naruto.

I’ve huge respect for this man, but he sucks at writing stories. Almost every arc he wrote, ended in a horrible way. Dialouge, world building and creating strong motivations and background stories for side characters are his strong suit, but subtlety and story making are his weaknesses.

[bouncyirwin]

1. KakaSaku: why is KakaSaku your otp? Is there any particular tropes, or was there something you find in this ship you can't find in others? Do you believe KakaSaku had an opportunity in the manga for the idea of canon? How would you picture it? Do believe it would be controversial (the age gap)? Side pairings (like NH or ShikaTema)? And how do you deal with Sakura and Sasuke's relationship (brOTP, one night stand, etc.) canon-wise with a KakaSaku endgame? (2)

Hmm, I’ll have to go a little down memory lane for this one. I’ve been in the Naruto fandom for over ten years, ever since I was a little child. As a kid, I initially shipped SasuSaku. I was naive and too wrapped up with the idea of ‘first love is true love’. That continued for many years, in fact, up until the beginning of last year. At this point I have left the fandom and came back to it after many years. You could probably imagine I was happy when I found out they were canon at first… but then post-700 happened.

I was shocked. That’s the worst story one could be given for a pairing they like. It repulsed me. I was forced to take a step back and see Sasuke for what he truly is: a deadbeat dad. A cold husband. A selfish man.

I was forced to reevaluate everything I thought he would be. Sasuke is not prince charming, he’s not a good human, he’s not a sane human. I’m not saying that it’s entirely his fault, I’m not denying the circumstances he was dealt anon, but it doesn’t change that it shaped him into a horrible being. Do I blame him for turning evil/leaving Konoha? No. I don’t. I probably would have done the same.

So we’ve established he’s not a good person. Even if he’s shown to have gone out roaming the world for 'redemption’.

On the other hand, Sakura may have been a little mean as a kid, but she obviously matured and outgrew that. These are possible character developments. You could go from being mean to someone to being nice to them at that point of your life (12 years old). But you can’t go from wanting to kill someone to wanting to marry them, not only is it terrifying but also… impossible.

So here I kinda realised wow dude, this pair kinda sucks.

I’m an anxious person by nature, also I value security above all. There is no way I would want Sakura to be with someone as emotionally unbalanced and unforgiving as Sasuke. Someone who at some point wanted to get rid of her —tried to get rid of her.

Just a bit before I had that conclusion about SasuSaku I discovered the most awesome beautiful thing ever: KakaSaku.

At first, I was like, oh my god, no, my OTP is SasuSaku. I think they’re cute but… that’s as far as liking them goes. Wrong. I was hooked.

They made so much sense I’m amazed I didn’t notice before but through reading fan fiction I discovered their potential.

Kakashi and Sakura are both dedicated ninja. They both put their teammates first. They balance out each other rather nicely, Kakashi could use someone bright and caring like Sakura to heal his soul. They’re both extremely smart, and equally balanced in power. Neither of them would look down on the other or bash them.

Sakura is strong and dedicated but I feel like sometimes she lacks confidence. Kakashi would lift her up, not break her down like Sasuke seems to do (after he left Konoha so if anyone’s reading this don’t start pulling managa screeshots pointing evidence of 12 year old Sasuke being 'supportive’)

I just like the balance between them, a harmony I can’t seem to find anywhere else. Look at every other ship, each one seems to have a dominant person, be it the woman or the man, which I dislike. Relationship/marriage should be about equality and balance, not dominance.

The manga didn’t nearly have as many KS hints as the anime but what does it matter to me? If Kishi doesn’t know how to pick two people with appropriate personalities for each other, that isn’t my fault. Look at his canon ships and how he portrays them, it’s truly repulsive. NaruHina had so much potential goddamn and he absolutely slaughtered it. He clearly built up for NaruSaku and he also clearly changed his mind around the end. SP then turned Hinata into 'Sakura’ instead of giving her a unique personality. Repulsive I tell you.

I really don’t believe the age gap matter would be a big deal. They’re ninja, they could literally die any day. To them they don’t even think they would live past 40. Why restrain them with silly things like age?

What does age signify anyway? Maturity. Do you really believe a person who’s been killing since they were 12, exposed to every nasty thing in the world would lack in maturity/self -discovery to be with an older person?

I don’t think it’s the age people might protest against, but rather their previous status of teacher and student but we all know Sakura’s real teacher is Tsunade. Kakashi is simply her team captain.

I don’t understand your question about NH and ShikaTema but if you’re asking my opinion of them, here: both had a lot of potential. One got an okay ending and the other sucked ass.

The amount of damage that was dealt to NH is ridiculous. I could’ve done a better job giving them a more realistic/not forced ending. Kishi seems to forget the concept of 'build up’ when writing romance. It’s like he pulled NaruHina out of his ass. Everything is cliche and gross; Naruto, an absent father. Hinata portrayed as the 'scary’ parent which just doesn’t go with her character (again, they tried to pull a Sakura but it ain’t workin). Hinata sending Boruto, a GENIN, one who cheated during his exams because he couldn’t win without doing so, to fight gods, telling him to 'take care of his dad’. Excuse me but what kind of mother does that? How could she just send her son to fight ninja that managed to capture her husband the freakin Hokage?? I don’t care if he resembles Naruto, no one can believe in their child that blindly, it’s just so damn unrealistic. Besides, everyone now is trying to shove down our throat that Hinata is a 'kickass shinobi’ who is 'better’ than Sakura, so why doesn’t she go fight to get her husband back?

I don’t hate Hinata. I just dislike what’s been done to her character. Just because she’s an average Kunoichi it doesn’t mean she can’t end up with Naruto without being given Sakura’s personality. They’re trying to change her character entirely. It’s gross. They’re trying to make her sound stronger than she actually is.

As for ShikaTema, I don’t have much trouble besides making Temari a stay-at-home wife. That’s not her personality at all.

Same goes for Sakura. She’s a kickass medic. Put her as head medic at the hospital not a woman dusting shelves.

If KakaSaku were to be endgame, I believe that would happen with Sakura spending time with Kakashi and discovering what being with real men is like. I believe she’d fall in love with Kakashi. Maybe even cheat on Sasuke, as unpleasant as the concept is (although I don’t blame her if she does), get a divorce, grab her daughter and leave. She’d marry Kakashi, because he’d give a shit about her child, he’d help care for if, he’d love and protect her. He’d be there for her. Basically, Kakashi would know how to be a good and respectful partner.

I apologise if jumping from answering something to the other is confusing. Thanks for the question!

[afishtrap]

I have questions.

These have been bugging me. Maybe I’ll get lucky and someone (koff @caramelcheese koff) has an explanation.

1. Shiro’s in prison for a year. Yet he doesn’t end up with a beard to his chest, and his hair is still neatly cut. The leaked shots from S3 of Matt look like Matt’s hair has grown, though. How could Shiro stay neatly pressed (at least from the shoulders up) while Matt’s the one who can’t find scissors?

2a. Why are none of the paladins ever strapped in? It’s like the animators are thinking the cats are just big cars, and everything’s operating on a linear, horizontal plane. When the five first find the blue lion and it proceeds to scamper in mid-air (including twists), all of them should’ve ended up splattered across the interior. Including Lance. (I’ve been in a van that rolled off the road and over a 30′ drop. Think frog in a mixer and you’re pretty close to the results.)

(okay so yeah I come from the Gundam and Macross worlds for mecha, and I’ve done my time in Yukikaze and Sidonia no Kishi which are more real-world jet-pilot SF influenced than super-mecha, but still, strapping in is pretty much mandatory. If the animators didn’t want belts, they could still have gone with the pilot getting suctioned in, like S2 Gundam 00 or Escaflowne. but really, all five floating out of their seats? and no additional seats/straps for passengers? this isn’t a mini-van, people, it’s a big box that can go in any direction at any time and this bugs the crap out of me)

2b. Clearly none of the animators have actually done anything that requires wearing a helmet. Like, say, riding a motorcycle (or piloting a plane). Shiro’s helmet coming off ‘cause he’s rolling down a hill... that could happen with a bike helmet, but if it happens with a full helmet style like the paladin’s, then something is seriously wrong. I can’t watch that bit w/out wincing. A helmet that style coming off is bad news. Really bad. Like, not possibly not making it out alive and/or brain-crushed bad.

3a. Am I the only one giving the side-eye every time Allura protests (mostly in S1) about how the Alteans were a great and wonderful people, her father was a great man and a great father, etc etc? Zarkon can’t have always been pure evil if Alfor worked with him, which raises the question of whether Alfor was so pristine and perfect, too. Plus, Alfor agreeing that he’d made a mistake (in sending the lions away) squeaks the door open, at least for me, to the chance that Alfor made a few other mistakes, too.

3b. I mean, people just don’t up and go to war for no reason, unless the motivations here are so flat and boring as to be that Zarkon just woke up one morning pure evil. This is fiction: it’s supposed to make sense, so there must be another side to this story we’re not getting told. Something makes me wonder if “the dark history of the Paladins” isn’t just the fact that Zarkon was one of them.

4a. Yes, Zarkon is apparently an imperialist -- expanding his military borders constantly -- and definitely participating in some old-school colonialism (ie the Balmora). But there also seems to be an extended part of his empire that’s going about its business, ie the space mall. If he held supreme power, why go to all the effort to build super-secret galaxy stations that only his military can find? He’d just hand out some reason for that military base, people would shrug, call it the cost of peace, and carry on. The only reason to hide that would be if he has someone to hide it from. Which might just be ‘to make it more difficult for our main characters to find’ plotholey, or it might be a signal of greater powers beyond Zarkon.

4b. Zarkon’s destructive power seems to have escalated exactly as Voltron shows up. From the way Haggar talks, it’s been a long time of R&D and she’s only just achieved robeast technology. The planet-sucking energy thing is also a new development. Granted, the bigger an empire grows (hello, America) the larger its military force must be, to police both its country and its colonies, so the scope of Zarkon’s military force doesn’t surprise me. But it does seem like those forces (other than the few conquering new worlds/colonies) must’ve mostly been in relatively peaceful backwaters, doing little but patrolling.

4c. If Zarkon’s forces are so immensely advanced, why only advance to the edge of Earth’s solar system, to the farthest outside planet, and take three people? Why stop there? From Allura’s comments about Zarkon’s advance across the universe, Earth may be a backwater but there’s nothing indicating a reason Zarkon wouldn’t be as interested in it as he is anywhere else. So why show up only long enough to kidnap three people, and then take off? But I guess that ties into @smolsarcasticraspberry‘s theories about Shiro having Altaen abilities or history, if he’s the real reason the Galra swung through.

5a. That is one seriously massive castle for only three people. No one else ever appears in Allura’s memories. She has no pictures (mental or otherwise) of anyone. She mourns her father, but no one else. No mother or mother-substitute, no friends, no peers, no siblings, no extended family, not even people she must’ve known and seen every day who also lived in the castle. Unless it really was just she, Coran, and her father? Just one big empty castle where three people rattled around in miles of empty halls and rooms. Kinda depressing. 

5b. It feels almost like Altea is this vast gap, where no one ever resided. And it makes it really hard for me to sympathize with any loss of Altea, because the only loss Allura mourns is her father, and anything else is kind of abstract. It’s like Altea itself was just a construct, one big empty field with flowers.

5c. Semi-related to that, in S2 Allura says her people were diplomats and travellers, so in hindsight it’s weird that she woke up, learned Altea’s been destroyed, and that’s that. Why assume that all Alteans were on Altea and were killed when the planet was destroyed? She makes no attempt to look for anyone; there’s no mention of Altean communities that might have survived elsewhere. Immigrants tend to cluster together, often for generations, just like you can still find a preponderance of Swedish or Norwegian surnames in parts of the American upper midwest. Yet neither she nor Coran even raise that chance, let alone chase it. Why not?

6a. The Altaen cuisine is unbelievably stupid. Food goo? Raise your hands if you’d eat the equivalent of anything, day in, day out, with no variation, and not find yourself sick of it. (If you do raise your hand, you’re like .01% of the human population because humans do not do well on unchanging diets; it’s why NASA and the military work hard to make a variety of packaged meals.) No matter how much protein a single food substance might provide, it being the only sustenance is just incomprehensible. Cuisine is a huge part of culture, and conveys so much about our history, our people, our beliefs, and our rituals. If in every other significant way the non-human cultures reflect this human value system (even the Balmorans seem to have some variety in their food), how can the Altaens possibly see green food goo (and that single bad-tasting alternate) as adequate?

6b. Okay so maybe the writers were just thinking it’s funny that the only Altaen alcoholic beverage tastes like old athletic socks (or however Lance put it), but it’s that they know it tastes horrible. What kind of people would subject themselves to bland food and foul-tasting drinks when they supposedly have the entire universe at their fingertips? Every diplomatic and military family I’ve known brings back bits and pieces of the cuisines from lands where they’ve been stationed. You sit down at their table, and it’s often an incredible mix of different cultures. So the complete lack of non-Atlean cultural elements in food and drink strikes me as just plain bizarre.

7. At some point, someone’s got to point out to Hunk that it’s time to stop calling everyone else ‘aliens’, right? It’s like being American, travelling to France, and calling every French person a foreigner. Hunk et al are the aliens, now. It just strikes me as a very human-centric view of things, and a rather myopic one, too, given other ways the writers do so well.

8. On that note, once or twice from Lance of flirting with Allura should’ve been enough. And fine, some guys are jerks, unwilling to take a girl’s disinterest for what it is. But not only does he keep doing it, no one else calls him out on it. Kieth, Hunk and Coran seem to ignore it; Shiro reels Lance in once or twice, but that’s not the same as hauling Lance aside and telling him to quit that, full stop. It’s disrespectful, it’s rude, and it’s attention Allura doesn’t like, and treating Lance’s insistent flirtation like a joke is rape culture hallmark, and quietly undermining any of the good done in letting Allura be her own character. 

(If you’re thinking to yourself that Lance being pushy is just Lance being Lance, and you’ve found it funny despite Allura’s clearly irritated reactions, that’s 'cause rape culture has taught you that Lance’s behavior is okay. newsflash: it’s not.)

9a. Coming back around to Shiro: rewatching the point where Allura talks about the different lions, and her line about the Black Lion: “a pilot who is in control at all times”. I’ve rewatched a few times now, and every time, that line feels like a kick to the gut. Shiro hears those instructions at a point where he’s only just returned (and is almost immediately whisked away again), and has barely had a chance to process his escape, let alone the entirety of his trauma. And now he’s being told that he must take up a role where the requirement is ‘being in control at all times’?

9b. @i-love-voltron-stuff​ has a meta about Shiro planning his departure, but my suspicion is that this seemingly throwaway line could be the cause. From Sendak, to Haggar, to the Black Lion, to dealing with Slav, Shiro is cracking at all the seams. If Allura’s words felt like an edict, then it’s possible Shiro is certain that he cannot pilot, nor be the leader, so long as he can’t stay in control, and by the end of S2, he’s got to be aware his headspace is pretty bad. My guess is that while he wasn’t planning on disappearing from the cockpit quite like that, he was probably expecting a short shelf life, mentally. Too many cracks, no more control, and thus no longer fit to be the Black Lion’s pilot.

to be continued (of course)

REQUEST: Headcanon Bidders Cheater (Angst/Smut)

alexacutie8 said:How do you think the bidders would react to MC cheating? Or it can be the other way around           

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Fandom: Kissed by the baddest bidders Category: Angst, Smut Character: Eisuke, Soryu, Mamoru, Baba & BONUS guy Notes: I was gonna do both bidders and MC, by the time I finished plotting the bidders one, I gave up. However, as usual, I may or may not turn one of these into one shots or mini series ;) Enjoy if you like angst or wanna see bidders as CHEATERSSSS

My readers know how important plots mean to me and this fic contains touchy subject- What IS cheating?! I will leave you to answer yourself as the definition varies so widely.

PS: I am not happy with Mamo’s one, something is off but meh....

Eisuke

You've heard rumors about Eisuke's affairs but you decide to trust him until the day you finish work early for a surprise visit. Surprise, surprise. Your man sits on his Italian couch with two blondes kneeling on the floor licking his shaft. "Eisuke!" His brows frown a little at your scream but his hands hold the women still, "Keep going." He demands, his cold eyes lay on you. "You can join us or leave but do not interrupt." Hell, you want to leave but you demand a reason, looking back and forth between the door and his couch. Your feet begin to move on their own and slowly take a seat opposite them, watching them closely. Eisuke smirks and pulls the girls up, whispering his next order. The blondes sit next to you and begin touching you, "What are you..." One girl slams her lips on you while the other plays with your breasts and thighs, you're filled with range, embarrassed and yet turned on with Eisuke's preying eyes on you. Next, the girls are on his bed, one on top the other, grinding each other. Their moans make your core ache, your eyes dart around and sneak a glance at your man. His hands on your shoulders and spins you around in a second, the warmth of his chest behind your back doesn't last as he pushes you down onto the couch.

"Eisuke, what do you think you're doing!!" You ask but your body react to his touch, his words. Pulling your jeans and panties in one go, he teases you with his fingers. "I think you have always wanted this, _________" You want to say no but watching the two girls at ecstasy with your dripping wet pussy, you can't lie about how you feel. He enters you in one go without anytime for you to adjust, not that you need any, you're used to his size. He pounds into you ruthlessly, rougher than he normally is. As good as it feels, you clench your teenth and ask, "Why? Eisuke, I'm your girlfriend." He sucks your earlobe, hissing your desired reason. "They.. are my .. girlfriends too." Increasing his pace to match the two girls, he adds. "Don't worry, babe. You...are my fav...orite, that's why I'm fucking you, not them." His hands grip your butt tightly, thrusting faster and harder. Your nipples brushing the fabric, hands clench into fits with tears rolling down your cheeks. What a fool you are to ever think you're special, his exception. How pathetic you are to ever believe that you're his only one, with few more thrusts, you reach your high as the man you love and hate releases his hot seeds all over your back.

Soryu

It's been 6 months since you've been dating Soryu and boy it's not easy dating a mobster. He would leave at unexpected hours and coincidentally gets called away during date night or movie night, always. And the lack of conversations, you don't want to hear the horrific details about his day or the deals he's been making with other gang. Nevertheless, your love for Soryu is greater than that, your patience and time will overcome them. Soryu has been working late recently as a newly gang has been stealing their business, that's all you know and frankly that's all you want to know. Waiting for him till late and making omelette is what you do for the past few nights although he has been telling you not to, "It's the least I'd do." You say follow with a big yawn before heading to bed, he smiles guiltily and kisses your forehead before disappearing to the shower. Waking up early the next day as you get ready to work, Soryu's phone buzzes non stop and you steal a glance as you finish your make up. You wish you haven't done that as his phone screen says, "Miss you and can't wait to see you tonight." Who is that? You try to come up with any reasonable explanations that someone would text Soryu that but let's not kid yourself, nothing else comes to your mind except the word "Cheating" which's the only thought that consumes you the entire day. Soryu calls you later in the afternoon saying he'll be late again tonight and you shouldn't wait up. "Oh working late again? I just thought maybe we can spend some alone time since it's been... I don't know .. awhile now?" You almost laugh at yourself for sounding so pathetic, begging your man to spend time with you when he obviously has plan with another woman. But you want to give it a go, even the slightest attempt to change his heart. After a short pause, he finally says yes. "You're right, it's been too long. I'll come home but a bit late though, probably after 9 if that's okay?" Yes you tell him, what else could you have answered? No! You should not meet with the mistress and come straight home? There's only one thing left to do- follow him. You head to Ice Dragon's office and wait for him from afar. Following him from the office to the florist, he's brought a bouquet. Bloody hell, he's getting her flowers, what a nice date! He hasn't brought you flowers ever, not once!! All this time, you just think he isn't the kind of man who wastes money on flowers and gifts like freaking Eisuke but no, now you realize you are not the one he prefers to spend that kind of money on.

Waiting across the street under the snow and watch them having such great time in the high end restaurant, time passes rather slowly and painfully. He drives her home afterwards and walks her to her building. A pretty brunette with a killer smile, holding the bunch of red roses and kissing Soryu on his cheek, making the mobster blushes. But that's not what hurt you most, it's the way he looks at her, exactly how he used to look at you. Once the girl goes upstairs, Soryu turns to his car and finds you standing there with tears on your cheeks. "I'm sorry." He says, you lose count of the number of sorry while he drives you back "home", his house technically, can't really call it your home anymore, can you? He explains in details throughout the whole ride, she is the leader of that new gang and how similar they are, making their ways up on their own, proofing their worth to the higher-up, how they truly understand each other. You hear everything but still searching for a proper reason in your mind. Did he cheat on you because you two are from different worlds? Was it love at first sight? Is it your fault for not trying to understand him more? To be more accepting about him and his "business"?

"I'm sorry." He apologies again as the car pulls over in front of his apartment, you turn to look at him, meeting his gaze. All you see is guilt, the same guilt he has when he kisses you and tells you not to wait for him; and the way he looks at the other woman. He's guilty because he's in love with someone else. "I plan to tell you tonight." He speaks since you haven't said a word, "It's never my intention to hurt you, ______"

Instead of answering him, you get out of the car and head inside quietly. Open a suitcase and fits whatever you can, "______, you don't have to leave, it's late." He says, standing by the door but not stopping you. "No, I do need to leave now, Sor. It hurts to even look at you." You mutter, biting your lips so you won't cry out loud. "I'll drive you..."

"No, I'll be fine." Heading out the door without turning around to take one last look at the place you once called home or the man you're madly in love with. Your heart's ripped as you cry your lungs out in the cab, not only because he's fallen in love with someone else but also the fact that you are not mad at him at all. You simply not able to, you love him too much to blame him, to hate him or even slap him in the face.

There's no right or wrong when it comes to love, you know that, you know that all too well.You don't regret falling in love with him, he's a good man but It's going to take a long time to heal and leaving Tokyo is the only way, to be far away from the hotel, the bidders and all those happy memories.

Mamoru

"What are you looking at?" Mamoru jumps at your sudden question and quickly switches the computer screen off, "Nothin', just a case I'm workin' on." He says, "Aren't ya going to work?" You kiss lightly on his cheek and head for the door, "I'm off, don't overwork Mamo." It's unlikely for him to work this hard but after all this is what you've always nagged him to do. Though you wonder what kind of case it is, he doesn't use computer much. "Old school is da way." He often says, sticking with a simple blue pen and black leather notebook. You can hear the usual laughter and chatter as you step inside the penthouse, "Morning princess!" Baba as cheerful as always, "Coffee." Eisuke orders with newspaper in hands while Soryu is on the phone and Ota’s busy flipping channels. "Where's Mamo these days princess?" "Working." Ota lets out a loud gasps, "The old man works?" Eisuke smirks without saying a word, eyes still on the newspaper. "Tease all you want but I'm glad he's working hard." Placing a cup of coffee in front each and one of them, you look at the sight in front and sigh, oh how things have changed over the years. From the frighten clumsy maid who almost got sold at an auction to falling in love with the sexist (laziest) cop ever. Sure you two argue a lot but you two always make up, always. You're blessed to have met Mamoru Kishi, life would be different if you've picked another bidder.

Entirely . Different

The bidders continue with their nonsense as you go upstairs to clean Eisuke's suite, Baba pays you a visit and asks you to clear the schedule for tomorrow night. "But.. it's my.." Wrapping an arm around your shoulder, he leans in and teases, "Ya it's your birthday, we know. The boss subtlety hints to throw you a birthday party." His whispering makes you giggle, "I am sure she wants to spend it with the slacker." Soryu joins, pulling you away from the thief. "And you should stop flirting so much." You smile and thank them while leaning over to wipe Eisuke's desk, "Thanks guys, it'd be fun." Somehow the two are frozen in spots and speechless for a few seconds, you swear their cheeks turn pink for awhile. Hmm did you have something on your face? They tend to act a little weird when they're alone with you, probably because you're the only woman who sees their real sides. Eisuke is nice enough to grand you a day off so you can shop for a decent dress, honestly that guy just can't say something nice for once. Mamoru returns home in the morning so you let him naps all he wants, getting your hair and make up done with the hunt for a new outfit is going to take the whole day. Once everything's set, you head back to Mamoru's room. Tiptoeing with your step and turning the knob as quiet as possible not to wake your man, you find his bed empty. You put on the birthday dress, a white short lace party dress. Spining a couples of time in front of the mirror to make sure you look as "fabulous" as possible, knowing how Mamo always teases you as "kid". You want to blow his mind with this dress, V neck with flowery lace in front and see through back, yup, this should do it.

Sneaking back to his bedroom, there's no sign of him but you hear something from his study. Oh is he working on his case again? You poke your head around the door to see him facing the computer again, only with his boxer down and hands on his shafts. The voice that has your attention earlier turns out to be a woman's moan, is he masturbating with porn? You know this is completely normal but still unsure of what to do next, should you leave him alone, stay and watch or interrupt him as you are going to be late. You are still deciding as his left hand begins to flap his cock to his abdomen while his right massaging the base. This is really hot but also wrong at the same time, this should be a private moment. Maybe you should give him some time, "Ahhhh Ki.. Kishi.." His name's mentioned, someone moans his name to be exact and it's coming from the computer. "God, I want you inside me detective." She whimpers then you hear the squishing sound from the other end. "Yar' so wet baby." His eyes lock to the screen as he starts to pump his hard rock member, "Hmm harder please, fuck me harder!" Her moans echoes in the back of your head as you watch Mamoru arching his back and picks up his pace as requested. You watch the whole thing. You listen to her moans, his groans. You witness he reaches his high with the huge loads of cumshot all over his chest. You see everything, you stay till the end, not because you want to but simply because your legs fail to move. "You always make me so wet, Kishi." The woman teases flirtatiously, Mamoru however looks rather awkward. "Sorry ya had to do it with me again." He apologies? "What are you talking about? The pass few weeks have been a blast!" Weeks? This has been going on for weeks? "Ya..Umm... I gotta go..so..urr.." Mamoru grabs the tissue box near by and wipes his evidence away. "Meeting your girlfriend?" He doesn't answer. "It's okay Kishi, I'm not trying to come between you two. Just hands on ourselves over the net, remember, that's all there is." He sighs and nods with a cigarette between his lips, "If you're guilty, why don't you just be up front with her. Tell her what you want, a blowjob, handjob, threesome, whatever, just tell her." Is Mamoru not satisfied in bed with you? Is this why he spends the past weeks jerking off with another woman from the internet? Because you wouldn't give him a blowie? Your legs start to tremble but at least they are moving, carefully and discreetly you escape his room and end up in the hotel corridor alone.

Seriously . Alone His face, her voice, their conversations repeats in your head over and over until you collapse on your knees with tears streaming down your face, ruining the make up you stupidly pay for. "_______?" You hear a man's voice from behind, a familiar voice. His large hands on your shoulders and turns you around to face him, Oh the party!! The last thing you need right now is any kind of celebration and sarcasm. What are you going to do? What excuse should you come up with? His warm palms cupping your cheeks as you hide yourself from embarrassment, "What happened?" You look up and meet his concerning gaze, no mockery no teasing no grinning, just plain simple concern. Burying your head to his chest, you inhale deeply before stammering your cause of misery. "Ma... Mamoru .. s ... cheating on me!" Feeling his arms gently tighten around your waist, you let out your  hysterically cries in his warm embrace.

BaBa

Hands trembling at Baba's mobile screen, your eyes turn to the bathroom as he whistles and walks out, "What .. is this?" Drying his hair as he walks towards you and takes his phone back, "Shouldn't I be the one asking why are you spying on my phone instead, princess?" You hate it when he does that, dogging your question with his. "Don't you change the subject, Baba! You are on a dating app!" Letting out an exhausted sigh, the thief sits down on the edge of his bed and scrolls his screen, "It's just for fun, stop taking everything so seriously." Almost too stun to think, you can barely breath. "Fun?! Are you fucking serious, Baba!!"

You march to the bed but he gets up swiftly and puts on a shirt quickly, "Where are you going!" You try to grip onto his elbow which he easily avoids, "Out!" He snaps and slams the door, leaving you heart broken and alone.

"We haven't finished talking!!!" Stumbling to your knees by the door with tears streaming down your face, wishing this is all nothing but a dream.

The next day, you wake up to a cold bed and empty suite. He isn't at the penthouse either, Baba hasn't come home. Frankly, he hasn't come home for the whole week since that day. You've called, texted, left dozens of voice mails from yelling at him, begging him to come home then worrying if he's got into an accident. Staring blankly to the mirror, you feel so tired and sick of what you see. How sad, old, ugly and worn out you look, no wonder Baba doesn't want to speak to you, who does when you look like that?

Time for a change, for both of you. Taking a sudden day off on a Saturday, you shop for some new lingerie, role play outfits with your hair and make up done, all ready to give Baba the big surprise. Only if you know WHEN he'll see it. You feel ridiculous, all dress up for a man who may or may not be coming home. Hours have passed, when he eventually returns, he falls straight to the bed, DRUNK. You take care of him, undressing him, pulling the covers over him. Caressing his cheek in a nurse outfits he consistently urges you to try with a matching set of purple lace lingerie, everything he's always wanted but unable to see. He's right here and yet he seems like a stranger to you. A buzz has got your attention and you hesitantly take his phone out from his hand, pressing the "READ" button and open the pandora box. There's a long list of chat history between him (Daddy) and a blonde chick called "Candy" from weeks ago.

3 Weeks Old "Do you taste as sweet as candy?"

"You'll have to come and find out?" "Is that an invitation?" "It can if you want it to be, handsome." "How do I know this is the real you in the photo?" *Candy sent you a photo* "Wow, is this what you're wearing now?" "Yes, are you going to return the favor?" *You sent a photo* "I love a man with six packs." "And i love a woman in purple lingerie ;) " "We seem to be a good match then." "We do." *Candy shared her current location* "Wanna come in for a cup of coffee?" "Now?" "Or some candy if you're interested?" "Be there in half an hour, can you do me a favor while you wait?" "Yes?" "Keeping sending me photos of yourself and think of me." *Candy sent you a photo* *Candy sent you a photo* *Candy sent you a photo* *Candy sent you a photo* "See how wet I'm for you, daddy?" *You sent a photo* "Did you just take that in your car?! OMG, so hot! It's rock hard already!! Hurry, I can't wait to taste it!" 2 Weeks Old" I miss you, daddy!" *Candy sent you a photo* "You are not allowed to touch yourself without my permission, baby girl." *Candy sent you a photo* "Then will you come punish me?" "I will, tonight. Punish you all the way till morning." 1 Week Old *Candy sent you a video* "Good girl, you didn't cum." "Daddy, I need you so badddd!" "I know, why don't you open the door now." 1 Day Old *You sent a video* "Something for you to watch when you miss me." "This just makes me soooo wet!!! I want you now!!!" "I miss you too baby girl. Your tight pussy clenching my cock." "Are you... touching yourself?" "Are you?" *Video chat ended*

1 Hour Ago "Miss you already." *Candy sent you a photo* 20 minutes Ago *Candy sent you a photo* "Can't wait to see you again, babe!"

You are surprised to have found the courage to finish all the logs, mind completely blank, you step into the shower, hoping to clear you head and something .. something will change. Maybe you will stop loving him, your heart no longer ache or Baba comes running and tells you she means nothing. But no, by the time you drag yourself out of the bathroom, the bed is empty again with a note on the night stand.

"You deserve better, forget me."

BONUS -- Ya I like using Hishi as Bonus -- La la la

Shuichi Hishikura A cup of black coffee should be what he needs after a long day at work, you think to yourself as you place your hand on the doorknob and turn to hear the hissing sound from Shuichi. Peeking through a tiny gap to see his back arched and head leaning against the wall by the window within a short distance to his screen. Is he watching ... porn? But his eyes are closed. "Ahhhhhhhhh!!!" He lets out a loud moan but immediately bites his lips to avoid another one, you have never gotten him to moan! Maybe you should try harder and improve your skills now, well maybe AFTER you tease him. He's always uptight and serious, this would be the perfect opportunity to have a little fun. "Feeling naughty, Mr. Hishikura." He almost jumps out of his seat but he couldn't, "Need some help?" "NO!!!" He shouts, "STOP MOVING!" And you stop, like he asks. He takes a deep breath and just when he's about to speak, his clenched fist slams the desk with his head down. "Shuichi?" "STOP .. MOV.... MOVING!" He repeats, voice still stern but shaky. Is he still jerking off? Maybe he really needs to release so badly? "Shit!! Shit!!! I'm...uhhhhh..." He moans again, bucking his hips forward. It's HOT and you begin to feel the heat from your core. As the slapping sound of pace increases, his moans become louder and sexier, totally forgetting your presence. "I'm....clo... Ahhh!! FUCKKKK!!!!" The long and last fuck leaves his lips as he comes undone and slamming both his fists to this desk. WAIT? WHAT THE....??!!!

Shuichi tries to catch his breath as he slowly looks up to meet your questioning gaze, a head pops out from his desk then a familiar figure appears next to your boyfriend with a taunting grin. "Helloooo, _______."

You hear your quivering voice as the name escape your lips, "Hikaru?!" (LOL Don’t hate me =P)

The Razer Kishi Is the Smartphone Gamepad I've Been Waiting For

Betrayal, frustration, regret. These are just a few of the emotions I felt when I bought my first gamepad for a smartphone, the Logitech Powershell, in 2015. The sales pitch sounded so sensible. You’re already carrying a tiny computer in your pocket all the time, snap that phone into a controller case and you’d have the perfect mobile gaming device, right?

Sadly, the Powershell was a big-time piece of shit, with just a few, stiff buttons, painful ergonomics, and poor software support. In short, I felt burned. A lot can change in five years, though. Taking another look in 2020, I’ve found that today’s mobile gamepads have addressed many of the Powershell’s problems. (Some pretty successfully!) The newest of these is the Razer Kishi, which, while not perfect, gets you closer to turning your phone into a game console than ever before.

Between remote play apps and game-streaming services like Google Stadia and Microsoft xCloud, a good mobile controller now promises more than just greater precision in App Store games. Freed from the limits of onboard processing power, smartphones can play current-gen AAA titles—as long as your internet connection and gamepad are up to the task. Personally, I was just hoping for a controller that could get me through Symphony of the Night and San Andreas for the 1,000th time. I ended up finding something more than that.

In the year 2020

These days, there are basically two options if you want to game on your phone using real buttons instead of simulated, onscreen controls. You can either get a hinged clip that attaches a Playstation-style gamepad to your device or buy a dedicated “telescopic” controller that clamps on either side of it, making your phone look a bit like Frankenstein’s Nintendo Switch. The former, while dirt cheap, is about as finicky as it sounds. The Kishi belongs to the latter category, a space that obscure Chinese brands have quietly dominated in the absence of major manufacturer interest.

The Flydigi Wee 2T is a particularly well-liked example of these strange telescopic gamepads and served as my reference point while assessing the Razer Kishi. At a technical level, the Kishi has a few nice features the Wee 2T doesn’t. The Kishi’s thumbsticks can be clicked in, as on Playstation and Xbox controllers. It also has analog trigger buttons, allowing the gamepad to sense how much they’ve been pushed in. Finally, the Kishi directly plugs into your phone via USB-C or Lightning ports instead of connecting via Bluetooth, meaning no lag or connection issues, no need to charge it separately, and a pass-through port that allows you to plug in your phone while gaming. (Neither controller, sadly, has a headphone jack.)

None of these features matter a whole lot, of course, if the controller sucks to use and hold.

How does it feel?

The first thing I noticed about the Kishi was that it was big, like really big. Clamped on a 6.25-inch LG G8x, the controller measures in at around 10.5 inches by 3.5 inches by 1.6 inches, slightly wider and significantly thicker than a Nintendo Switch. The second thing I noticed was how solid its grip on the phone was. With some creative jury-rigging, I was able to get the Wee 2T to stop bending like a ruler in the throes of simulated combat. Out of the box, the Kishi felt much sturdier, slipping off the phone only when violently shoved into a seat-back pocket.

At the most fundamental level, I’m happy to report that the Kishi did what a controller is supposed to do well. The Kishi’s buttons were more springy than click-y and the analog sticks were precise and responsive with no discernible dead zones. My only real complaint with its build was an ergonomic annoyance. Despite its sizable footprint, the Kishi actually felt a little cramped in my hands. While not crucial for older or slower-paced games, operating the right analog stick was slightly uncomfortable in my natural grip—initially, at least.

On my first night with the Kishi, I struggled to play 2016's Doom without showing my entire ass to Mars’s demon community. In time, however, I adjusted. A week later, I’d played through half of Far Cry 5's main campaign on a phone and had stopped noticing the controller much at all.

Oh yeah, about that

“Great, great, sounds good,” I hear you saying, “but what games can you play?” Well, most of them. While few mobile-first games have controller support, most of the console ports, emulators, and game-streaming apps you’d actually want to use with a gamepad support them. In my experience, every app that worked with a Bluetooth controller played nice with the Kishi. Using just emulators and streaming, a decent smartphone paired with a controller like the Kishi can potentially play most console games made before 2000 or after 2013, which is sick.

Whether that experience is actually any fun is dependent on the comfort of your controller, the quality of your connection, and how optimized the game is for a small screen.

Personally, streaming a small selection of games from the cloud wasn’t as enticing as playing the ones I already had in a more mobile fashion. While my girlfriend watched cable or played something else on the TV, I used the Kishi to stream titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 from the Xbox One or PS4 in our home. (Notably, Playstation’s official Remote Play app doesn’t support third-party controllers, but unofficial versions do.) And when I was away from our network, the Kishi was a pleasant way to sink even more hours into old favorites like Metal Gear Solid or Perfect Dark.

And yet...

Still, there were some small annoyances. The same rubber piece that gives the Kishi such a solid grip covered the LG G8x’s proximity sensor, initially posing a bit of a mystery as to why the phone fell asleep so easily and why it was so hard to wake up. Similarly, that tight fit meant I had to remove the phone’s case every time I wanted to connect it. And while having a controller I didn’t need to charge was convenient, I found the Kishi shaved a few extra percentage points off the phone’s battery every hour it was attached, whether it was being used or not. Forget to plug in the passthrough port or detach the controller for a day and you might return to find a dead phone.

Perhaps the greatest limitation was one common to all telescopic gamepads I’m aware of. Because the Kishi covers a phone’s headphone jack and its passthrough port doesn’t support USB-C or Lightning headsets, your main alternative to using your phone’s speakers is Bluetooth headphones. In practice, this results in an audio lag that is slightly disorienting in single-player games but could mean instant death in, say, an online shooter.

And then there’s the price. At $80, the Razer Kishi is significantly more expensive than its closest (weirdo) peers, the $50 Flydigi Wee 2T and $35 Saitake STK-7007F. Frankly, none of these devices feel as well-made as their MSRPs might suggest, but I can say the Kishi is by far the sturdiest.

He was a gamer boy

In the end, whether the Kishi is worth 80 of your hard-earned dollars is a question of how far you’re willing to go to for a gaming experience that still won’t be perfect. Having spent dozens of hours fooling around with the thing, I can happily say, “Yes, I’m a sick freak who is willing to go that far.”

Once I adjusted to the stick placement and had all my apps set up, the Kishi brought me delightfully close to having the everything gaming device I imagined years ago. At home, it was a fun way to putter around newer open-world games while lying in bed. On a plane, it let me play a few hours of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and temporarily forget where I was. Any annoyances I had about the controller’s ergonomics soon faded into the background. I began regarding the Kishi-and-phone combo as a single unit, a kind of turbocharged Game Gear to leave on my nightstand or throw in a bag.

After a few days with the Kishi—which we had taken to calling the “Game Girl” around the house—my girlfriend told me she kind of hated the controller. Why, I asked. “Because you’re so obsessed with it,” she said. She had a point. With little else to do in lockdown, tinkering with software settings to put every game I possibly could on the phone had become a game in itself.
