KAKASHI SPIRIT NEWS Special Edition 2024!

Welcome, dear reader, to the Kakashi Spirit News! This is a one-time special edition as Spring has graced itself into Gensokyo's doorstep on once again! Love is in the air, with picnics and dates abound!

In this edition, I'd be covering a few individuals you might be interested in visiting in this season, whether it's for a date spot, or a change of scenery!

Now, a word from the Herald of Spring, Lily White!

Herald of Spring Message

@letsspringintoaction

"IT'S SPRINGGGGGGG" "ITS SPRING ITS SPRING ITS SPRING ITS SPRING"

Thank you, Lily White. Now then, first in the list!

Rainbow Dragon Cave

@mountainofhistory

Have you encountered one of those strange cards which gave you temporary powers based off abilities from others?

Of course you have, they're everywhere! And there's even an incident based off it!

But have you, dear reader, ever asked yourself how they were made?

Then it's time to take a trip! With Momoyo Himemushi the oomukade who's working hard deep within, she can tell you all about them, like how they're made, for instance!

Or if you fancy testing your strength against one of the stronger people in Gensokyo, then she's your girl!

P.S: Entering the cave may NOT be reccomended. Please contact Momoyo for information regarding the cave, or a brief overview regarding ability cards!

Old Hell/The Underground

@gensokyogarden

Does it sound scary? Of course it does, it's Hell, after all!

But do you know who isn't scary? Hikaze Fuwa! Blonde, and looks like she could throw a ball(and you!) up to 100 miles!

Usually seen roaming around the outsides to the Underground and sometimes practicing her punches and kicks, this Kasha is very friendly and outgoing, and a great drinking partner!

However, if you ever seek a challenge and a completely different culture, you can always try heading to Former Hell for the experience, but! Only if you're brave enough to pass the scary obstacles ahead, from a bridge princess, to a giant spider!

She… also claims herself to be illegally bleach blonde during swimsuit season.

Take that what you will, dear reader.

Forest of Magic

@warriorsofcrimsonrealms

You may know Alice Margatroid, the beautiful puppeteer who puts up shows and entertains others! But what you may NOT know, is that she's sisters (technically) with a certain Hakurei Reimu!

But to visit her, you would require to enter the Forest of Magic, which is filled with fairies and perhaps some other youkai in the way, and of course, the dangerous mushrooms which fill the area.

But if you manage to brave through the forest, you may get to know a new friend! And of course, a compeletely different world, which is that called 'Makai'!

Ask her for a sample of her cup of tea if you're ever in the area! It's a delight to try!

Also, if you ever see a black-haired fairy named Oberon... try not to provoke her. She has a dragon.

The Great Mausoleum

@thathermitwiththehairpin

Are you a Taoist or an avid traveler, dear reader? Then you definitely have came across this place once in a while! But have you ever stopped by at the gate just to say 'Hello'?

First of all, are you aware of who Seiga Kaku is, that noisy neighbour? Of course you do! Now it's time to meet Yoshika Miyako, Seiga's little zombie! She's cute, adorable, and although she may look like she need a bath!

There's a bit of a rumor, but she may have a secret or two you might learn about that resident hermit! Who knows, maybe there's something she knows about Seiga which we don't know!

P.S: I am NOT fake News! I report the truth, thank you very MUCH!

Nyalter's Bakery

@nyalternatehellkitten

And last in the list, when you've explored long enough and decided to take a break, why not stop by at Nyalter's Bakery! (Name pending(?))

Grab a bite for one of the best bread baked in Gensokyo! Funded by none other than Satori Komeiji herself who saw the potential after trying her food, you can get a load of bread for a sandwich, a nice muffin for an afternoon snack, or a hot pie for lunch!

If you would like to taste bread approved by Former Hell itself, drop by and get to talk with a certain cat!

(This is not a paid advertisment, your favourite tengu took a stop on the way back and it's one of the best bread she's had in a while)

Final Words

Well, unfortunately, that's all the time we have today, dear reader! Thank you for the time on reading up on this Special Edition, and I wish you a festive Spring! Who knows? Someone might have an idea of making a Spring Festival, here in Gensokyo!

Until then, be safe, and be sure to subscribe to Kakashi Spirit News! See you again next time!

Satoru Gojo goes to the same cafe every day for his coffee-flavored confectionary beverage. You are the barista tasked with pumping his drink with the unreasonable assortment of syrup squeezes.

You don't blink at it. You've been in customer service forever. Everything is second nature to you. But you give him a look when you hand him a drink and he just starts going.

He likes to make small chat, you learn. About meaningless things - desserts, drinks, the weather - but he makes you laugh, and he laughs at your jokes, too. He's smiling every time you talk.

He's beautiful - in that way that makes you uncertain if he's really there - and friendly, and he seems a bit lonely, eager to converse.

Something tells you Satoru probably doesn't have a lot of close friends. He's rich, too, judging by the massive tips he leaves you.

The thing is, you do a lot of things on autopilot. It's just the way these things get after a while. Pouring drinks, "What would you like today?", "I'll have that out for you soon!", "Have a nice day!", all that stuff.

Sometimes, though. Sometimes. Wires get crossed.

He's picked up his drink to leave, giving you a cheeky smile and a little wave, and you tell him, without thinking twice:

"Love you, bye!"

Oh. Oh fucking hell -

"Love you too!"

brain will not let me sleep until I say

same age padawans au where they’ve been in a weird wired frenemies thing for ages but now that they’re both mature adults (all of 24/25 years old) they’re more friends than enemies….

And it’s Obi-Wan that Anakin tells when he’s decided he’s going to leave the Order, not anyone else. He has a wife. There was a pregnancy scare a few weeks ago and it made her want their relationship to stop being a secret so they could really have kids. He has to leave the Order. Doesn’t Obi-Wan understand?

Obi-Wan, who has been a little in love with Anakin since they were younglings, does not understand. Not one bit. Instead of wishing him well and helping him pack, he goes to the Council and requests a mission in the Outer Rim….perhaps a month long or more…perhaps undercover? No contact with anyone on Coruscant. And maybe they could assign Anakin Skywalker as his back up? He can help with the undercover aspect.

And at first, Anakin is pissed because he was planning to resign from the Order in the next few days, but Obi-Wan convinces him to go on this mission with him….one last mission as a Jedi. To say goodbye to the Jedi life.

Obviously, Obi-Wan sort of wants to go on one last mission with Anakin because in his dreams, he wants the mission to go so perfectly that Anakin stays with him the Order. But realistically, he mostly wants to go on this mission to say goodbye to Anakin and then let him go, soaking up all his warmth and light, memorizing every casual touch bestowed on him because he knows they’re ticking down to the last handful of seconds together.

But then obviously the mission works TOO well and Anakin falls in love with Obi-Wan but doesn’t admit to it even to himself before they’re on the ship about to head back to Coruscant and Anakin realizes he doesn’t want to leave this planet because he doesn’t want to leave Obi-Wan if it could always be like this so he crashes the ship during take off so they can stay longer because he’s 24 and doesn’t know how to handle the immensity of his love except through destruction

i am reminded once again that people are so weird about rhaegar.

it’s interesting but nauseating to see the shift about him on the anti-rhaegar side of the fandom as it’s clear that people are still wildly and crazily deep in their fanon versions of him, but have decided he’s somewhat useful to them as the fandom becomes less accepting of the ‘targaryens are bad and all mad’ narrative that was floating around for years, so some of the antis have slightly changed their tunes.

i should clarify that the shift does seem subtle right now, so maybe it’s not going to affect the way the antis discuss rhaegar that much, but i find it interesting and a bit annoying so im gonna discuss it.

the shift is basically starting from ‘rhaegar was a moron and killed his family by fucking his whore so he deserved death’ and seems to be heading to ‘rhaegar was secretly really cunning and cruel and actually loved elia but she was iffy/neutral of him and he only got with lyanna to have a baby and left her to die cause he was always gonna go back to elia.’

both of these are crazy interpretations imo, but the second one is even worse than the first. the first interpretation is at least a tad bit understandable, but the second is completely based on fanon land nonsense.

because… how is rhaegar seen as cunningly cruel when he’s only been paralleled with dany and jon, two incredibly kind characters? one of the first times dany is directly paralleled to rhaegar is when dany was protecting others! while we do learn a lot about rhaegar through these parallels, there’s also an on page interaction that completely contradicts the ‘rhaegar is cruel and callous’ interpretation. it starts when jamie is recalling rhaegar’s departure to the trident, he remembers when jon darry snapped at him, telling him to obey and stay with aerys; then rhaegar takes the time to console a teenage jamie and ease his worries before he leaves. we have all this and yet people interpret this character as cunningly cruel and willing to use others for his own ends?

like bsffr… this is a character who prefers writing songs and singing them instead of violence and the song of swords. that says a lot about rhaegar, and it’s all good things.

speaking of good things said about rhaegar: barristan as whitebeard, when he was still sussing out dany, calls rhaegar able, determined, deliberate, dutiful, and single-minded. these are all positive descriptions. barristan also later says that there’s a lot of good to be said about rhaegar, more than any of dany’s other relatives. this is not the description of someone hiding a nasty personality behind a perfect facade, it’s a deliberate set up preparing us readers for the big rhaelya reveal and to contradict roberts anti rhaegar propaganda.

i also want to mention the other side of rhaegar. he was described as melancholy and was said to have sad eyes, and according to cersei he looked wounded. it seems like he suffered from depression. and based on the parallels between aerys and viserys, i think it’s safe to assume that aerys was likely abusive to rhaegar like viserys was to dany. what’s written in a world of ice and fire supports my case and shows that things were always very very tense between rhaegar and aerys. things were so tense in fact that aerys even brought varys in as spymaster partly because he mistrusted rhaegar. that is a very terrible environment for someone to grow up in, and yet rhaegar still pulled through so much so that characters still sing his praises years after his death. that’s impressive and shows how good of an impression he left on so many characters.

now, i also want to discuss the rhaegar x elia ship as it’s getting more popular as the tides keep shifting. one quote that these shippers use to support their ship is the “rhaegar was fond of elia” remark made by barristan, but the context of that conversation is specifically left out by these shippers. basically the conversation began when dany is telling barristan that she’ll do her duty and marry hizdahr, so she asks barristan if rhaegar wed for duty or love. barristan hesitates and tells her that rhaegar was fond of elia but says nothing about love. context is key here. and while it’s not surprising that these shippers need to strip away the context as they have to go up against rhaelya, which has a lot of textual support, it is deceitful and proves that their case is weak in compassion to the build up of rhaelya.

anyways… yeah… this shifting tide is weird af and seems like a huge backwards dive into fanon land, and while i can’t control anyone i think i’ve done my best to stay true to canon by mentioning what we know about rhaegar and trying to keep my interpretations grounded.

tbh… i don’t even like this character that much, but i think his impact on the fandom is so cool. cause it’s like… here is rhaegar, a sad boy, and yet so many people treat him like he’s satan incarnate responsible for everything bad. it’s like so wild and so far from what little we know of him. so, basically, because of this fandom discourse, i became interested in this character and am now one of his defenders. yeahhhhh….

also, because so many people liked to basically shit on rhaegar for ‘doing nothing’ and ‘just letting war break out’ i found it kinda fun to theorize about what he may have actually been doing at the time of the rebellion. as of now, i’m pretty set in my belief that he specifically went to dorne to conspire with house martell and potential allies in order to overthrow aerys. my theory is based on what we know of his personality, and i think his last words to jamie clearly hint that he had some sort of plan in place; and since he was last in dorne, it’s only logical to conclude that there was something going on.

that’s all

sometimes i worry about my internet footprint and the fact that it might stop me from getting a job in the future or something (i literally run a blog posting screenshots from fanfics i read) but then i think ‘well damn, if they can find all this information about me then i don’t deserve the job cause i know i wouldn’t put in that much effort to find information on someone’ and i feel better

community college is so funny because half of the teachers are like "For this class you need to use lockdown browser for all quizzes and tests. You need to buy this 70 dollar textbook, and all papers turned in must be in APA format with a title page even if they're only 500 words long. I will not accept late assignments. Also you have a minimum of 4 assignments a week." and the other half are like "you don't need proctoring for the final exam I trust you. here's a download link to a pirated copy of the textbook. as long as your writing is coherent and demonstrates an understanding of the material I literally could not care less what format you use. I can't figure out how canvas works so I'm not giving you due dates, just make sure it's turned in before the grading period ends. your only weekly assignment is a forum post with a minimum of 100 words."

Self shipping spaces are really funny to me because they're quite different from X reader stuff in that these people... Get jealous over characters. Which not judging this isn't what this is about, I write yandere X reader the call is coming from within the house I just. Have never really experienced jealousy romantically myself??? I think that might be why I like yanderes because if it was just up to me for a relationship to happen we would be getting nowhere fast lmfao

oh my god re: your recent post... the 'girl dinner' shit. omfg. idc if it's 'not that deep' you're still reinforcing terrible shit!!! and also the like 'boys when they see a stick/cool rock' and 'girls when they time travel vs boys when they time travel' wojaks. the gender-fication of barbie vs. oppenheimer. why the fuck is the recent internet zeitgeist hyper stereotypical cisnormativity. like. i thought we had collectively outgrown this.

exactly. And that’s all just some parts of it too. People pretend they’re so on top of things but it’s just because they don’t want to seem out of touch and offensive. It’s wild watching people barf out gender binaries with new terms and new ways to categorize trans people as not their gender and new ways to reinforce the same gender roles on ourselves but in “good” ways now. It’s just….really frustrating and pretty terrifying at the same time
