aww i always love authors/artists who make Kakashi so human in pre-kannabi/post-sakumo, some fics i've read make him out to be such an asshole which yeah he kinda? was, but some take it to the extreme and i hated those- Even tho he's traumatized Kakashi is still a 5-12 year old, he's a child- also he's acting that way because of his traumas, not because he's some cold-hearted killer that doesn't care about anyone's lives, if anything it's because he does, and he knows that he does- so so much but he can't act out on it loudly like Gai, Obito, Rin or just any other normal kid because of what happened to Sakumo-

basically- if even Sasuke had his genuine hurt kid moments in OG Naruto, then Kakashi deserves to not be treated as if Obito's words was the sole reason he learned- if anything he already believed that before Sakumo's death, he just started believing again

(sorry if this doesn't make sense, english isnt my first language 😂😭)

(Don’t worry, it make’s perfect sense :))

Kakashi was absolutly a little arse as a kid, firdt because he was arrogent and then because he realized that strength had to be the goal. If he wanted to live, if he wanted others to live, they had to be strong.

His whole thing about not protecting people and going back for rin was a response to trauma. He lost his father because that was exactly what his father did on his mission to earn the villages hatred. It was the action that began a long road towards Sakumo’s death and Kakashi’s trauma.

Kakashi was actually protective as a kid. He cared about people he just didn’t show it with soft kindness. He beat up two chunin’s who ganged up on gai (a five year old) and scolded Gai for not lifting a fist to defend his father.

When gai was doubting his father, it was Kakashi who said ‘i think your dad is the coolest shinobi ever’ which allowed Gai to see the man he adored. The father he had always respected. If someone as talented as Kakashi could see the greatest in his father, then so could he. It gave Gai back his admiration for his father when he was doubting it because if the cruel things others said.

(I couldn’t find the pics of where Kakashi said he admired dai, but this is where he responded to gai)

When Kakashi scolded Obito it was never ‘you’re too week’ but ‘you need to train more. I firmly belive Kakashi heard Obito relying on his sharingan as some sort if ‘get strong free’ card and hated it. Kakashi was a genius, he was strong and talebted, and he still trained his ass off, so hearing Obito treat his eyes like some sort of magic fix it probably annoyed the shit out of him

And two of the most important Kakashi scenes were him inviting Rin and Obito to dinner, and him telling his father ‘i have made friends of my own, but i won’t make the same mistakes as you’

Was kakashi an arrogent kid? Yes. He called Gai scum after their first fight, but he also continued sparing with him and accepted his rivalry and ultimatly his friendship. They became close because arrogence gave way to his kindness. He cane to realize Gai was a good kind person determined to work, and he admired that i believe.

Could he be harsh? Yes. I have no doubt that’s partially from Sakumo’s parenting because sakumo seemed like such an anxious dad. Kakashi probably picked up being harsh and clear with his words so his dad didn’t dance around things, and it grew into him just being a very blunt character. Sakumo was rude by accident, Kakashi was rude with clarity (Sakumo assumed gai had made it into the acadamy, thus coming off as rude when he asked about it. Kakashi picked up on that rudeness and called his father out when Sakumo turned around and called him rude a few minutes alter for stating what he believed was a fact)

Hatake Kakashi was an arrogent kid, but he was not an ass hole. He always cared about people and even when he tried to shut them out after his loss his heart was open. He made friends, he considered them friends and cared deeply about them

But his trauma rules how he acted for years.

His trauma from his fathers death made him a rule following shinobi

His trauma from Obito’s death opened his heart back up to what he had closed it to when he was five

His trauma from Rin’s death made him extra protective of his friends. He wouldn’t have anyone die on his watch again, he refused

His trauma from Minato’s death made him determined. He wanted to change the workd for Obtio before, but now he would do it at any cost even if it meant going against the higher ups (he went against danzo to tell Hiruzen about the assacination attempt, against Hiruzen to save tenzo, and against tsunade to go try and save naruto and sasuke)

For the wrestling AU - who would you all say is the greatest wrestler of all time?

* Obligatory disclaimed that any mentions of a wrestler refer to their in-character personas and should not be read as an endorsement of anything they’ve said or done IRL.

Mal: Oh, wow - that’s a good question. I’m going to say The Undertaker. He’s done so much and been in so many iconic moments over the years, it’s gotta be him right? I mean, he’s been wrestling for like 30 years so. He’s gotta be good at something, right?

Uma: I’m gonna say Chyna. First woman in the rumble, first to win men’s championships in the WWE, and all of that when she was in the strip match filled wasteland that was the Attitude Era? Respect. Chyna was an OG.

Freddie: I was gonna say ‘Taker too. He’s been there for a long time and he’s one of the scariest men to ever step foot in that ring. I definitely loved watching him whenever we could get WWE on the Auradon News Network. 

Celia: I think it was Undertaker too. He’s always been my favourite wrestler and he’s won like a million championships. And he always comes back! I was so sad when I thought he wouldn’t after Mania 33, but he did. 

Jay: Wow, that’s a tough one. I’m gonna say either Stone Cold Steve Austin or Bret Hart. They kinda made wrestling in the 90s y’know? And Bret Hart’s a good leader. I love watching Stone Cold do something dumb that you know he’s gonna get arrested for, but I also love watching Bret Hart. He retired without injuring anybody you know? I wish I could do that. Best there was, best there is, best there ever will be, right? I think I have to give it to Bret Hart just for that one.

Evie: Who IS the greatest or can I say who WILL BE the greatest when her career is over? Because I definitely think it WILL be Charlotte Flair when she’s done. She’s only just started a few years ago and she’s already done so much! Matches of the Year, a pay per view win streak, 10 championships - what more could a girl want? Until she finishes though, I’m going to say it’s Ric Flair. He’s one of the most iconic wrestlers in the world and he was crucial in building our industry. I don’t think wrestling would be as big as it is without him. Yeah, I know, big Flair fan here. Woo! *giggles*

Carlos: Mark Henry! Man, c’mon. He’s the World’s Strongest Man. He might not have a bunch of titles, but you know when he walks in whoever he fights is in trouble. He’s funny too! Every time he starts making jokes, I crack up. I love Mark Henry.

Harry: Besides me? Tch! It’s Shawn Michaels. Everybody knows that. He’s one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and probably the biggest from forever ago.

Jay: Why am I not surprised that when I say Bret Hart, you say Shawn Michaels?

Harry: Because I have good taste?

Jay: Sure. That’s it.

Gil: Um, I’m gonna say Mark Henry, because he’s one of my favourites. He’s really strong and he’s really funny. 

Ben: I’m going to say Bret Hart too. Not just because he’s one of my favourites, but because he worked really hard at being a wrestler his entire career. He only missed one show he was booked for, he never hurt anybody, and he just cares a lot about the business. Which, I guess is why he’s one of my favourites. What can I say? I like the Harts. Bruno Sanmartino would be a great case too.

Chad: Uh, Triple H? Hello? Nothing else would have happened without him. He was the leader of D-Generation-X, he created NXT which is where everyone else came from. We’re all just waiting for him to take over, admit it.

Lonnie: I was going to say ‘I hope we haven’t met them yet’ because, really, wrestling would be pretty boring if we’d already seen the greatest wrestler who’ll ever exist. But...I think I know who I want to pick now. Her ring name was Minerva, and she was the first World Women’s Champion back in the 1890s. That was before there was even a MEN’S world championship. We didn’t get that until 1905! I can’t imagine a wrestling industry without world championships, can you? And she really hasn’t gotten the credit she deserves for that. Everyone thinks it started with Mildred Burke, but that’s not true. Every wrestler out there should know Minerva’s name but we don’t. We really don’t and I think that’s sad. She deserves so much better for her legacy. If I had my way, we’d have her name and her face everywhere - like the Minerva Memorial Battle Royale at Wrestlemania? We should know her. So that’s who I’m voting for.

Jane: Oh! Uh, I don’t know who I’d pick really. Maybe Sara Del Ray?

Chad: Who, the trainer lady?

Jane: Yeah! ‘Cause she trained most of the new wrestlers at WWE and stuff. I think she deserves credit for that. That’s lots of good wrestlers she helped forward. That’s a lot for the industry, y’know?

Audrey: I think it’s The Rock. Everybody knows who he is, even outside of wrestling. Everything he ever said made money for the industry and got attention for it. It’s definitely The Rock.

Jordan: The Miz. I mean, come on, that guy’s great. He’s been a solid main event level talent for 10 years, set records for his title numbers, he’s just a really solid wrestler all around and he’s done it for forever. I’m a Shawn Michaels girl too though so if he wins, I wouldn’t complain.

Ally: Lita. She was the coolest woman on tv for the Attitude Era and I think she’s still been incredible. She’s important for every girl who watches wrestling. And she’s a lot of fun to watch.

CJ: Kairi Sane. ...What? Oh was I supposed to say more? Well, she’s one of the only two wrestlers I care about watching so I guess that says it all, huh? 

Aziz: I mean, Kurt Angle’s an Olympian? And he came back from breaking his neck twice. You gotta give him props for that. And he’s one of the most decorated and he’s in TWO halls of fame. WWE and TNA. So, I’m gonna say Kurt Angle.

Herkie: Kurt Angle is great, but I’m gonna say Shinsuke Nakamura. That guy is so talented and I can’t understand why anyone would waste him. His stuff in New Japan? In NXT even? Absolute legend. 

Maddy: Ric Flair. He’s one of the most talented heels ever. The dirtiest player in the game. I respect that. 

Ginny: Well, I’d say it’s Randy Savage. He was a savage in the ring and on the mic. What more can you ask for? 

Harriet: I’d argue it’s Batista. He’s one of the most decorated champs and the longest reigning World Champ. And what can I say? I can relate to living somewhere rough when you were younger and the ego kind of reminds me of certain children I know.

Harry: Who?

Harriet: ...You’ll figure it out. 

Ruby: Well, I think it’s Rey Mysterio. He’s definitely one of the greatest wrestlers of all time anyways. If not for everything he’s done in the ring, then for all the great wrestlers he’s inspired - both as lucha wrestlers and as aerialists. He’s the greatest high flyer in the world. 

Anxelin: I want to say Eddie Guerrero. He was incredibly talented and would do anything it took. He was resourceful and crafty and I’ve always tried to be like that in the ring. I’m generally so straight laced that I know how hard it can be to act like that, so I have a lot of respect for Mr. Guerrero. And, well...him and Rey Mysterio were friends. Ruby is my sister. I would be lying if I said I didn’t see something in that connection. 

Yi-Min: I am not familiar with most of the wrestlers my colleagues on the roster have mentioned. From the promotions I am familiar with, I believe it is Ho Ho Lun. He is extremely talented and if he ever comes to America for a longer period of time, I believe he would become extremely popular and successful. 

Arabella: Jeff Hardy. He’s always been the cooler Hardy brother, wrestling wise in my opinion. He’s not afraid of anything. He’ll mess everybody up. So I’ve gotta say Jeff Hardy.
