we talk a lot about how sasuke and naruto are so crazy about each other but there’s never enough attention on how the rest of the naruto cast Also thinks they are two fucking lunatics. like we are not alone on this. you have jiraiya telling naruto he needs to not go and chase a mf who tried to snatch his heart out his ribcage and naruto is like no i’d rather be a fucking moron for the rest of my life honestly. you have naruto leaving a mission and saying sory i cannot stay i need to go home and wait for sasuke and the fucking platypus looks at him ???? like he even had me confused where are you goin g to wait? ? why are you saying that like sasuke is coming back the fuck did i miss??? you have the kage summit arc which is just a whole bucket of ice being dropped onto you because you come in and immediately get slapped in the face by naruto letting himself be beat up because he won’t tell them where sasuke is??? like he has any fucking idea where sasuke is. and sai tries to make him come to his senses like naruto??? naruto WHAT ARE U DOING. it’s so bad they need an intervention. right after that naruto faces the raikage and gets on his knees saying i know my almost boyfriend almost killed your brother but i promise it wasn’t on purpose he was just being silly please don’t put a bounty on his head a war will literally ensue. and like. there’s LAYERS to this. 1. even RAIKAGE is like BOY what are you doing. STAND UP. 2. at this point you can count the people who like sasuke on the fingers of one hand like WHO is gonna start a war over him… naruto out there moving a war against a whole country by himself over his bf ok you go girl i guess. after this it gets even worse like gaara has to go up to him and be like SASUKE DOWSNT CARE ABOUT YOU. HE DOES NOT WANT YOU. and naruto just slaps his hand away in front of his family like rude?????? ignoring anything it is hilariouuusssss and then sai is like sorry. sakura lied to you they are actually off to kill sasuke and naruto gets a panic attack so severe he passes out. like i am not joking it was so bad his friends tried to kill sasuke behind his back. and then naruto escapes bedriddenment (is that a word?) after passing out from his panic attack to run and make sure NOBODY kills sasuke. like he’s on a RUSH leaping those trees he’s a boy on a mission. then after he gets there he’s like kakashi DO NOT TOUCH HIM. they launch themselves at each other bla bla gay monologues did you see what was in my heart and then. and then naruto is like. wait sasuke. and sasuke waits like sorry that’s such a little thing but it’s so funny to me like sasuke was just acting a lil murderous crazy manic wtv but naruto told him to wait and he waits. ok good boyfriend. anyways moving on naruto is like do you get it sasuke. if we fight again we will BOTH DIE! (everybody gets a ?????? bubble) i am the only one who can shoulder all that hatred. i will CARRY THE BURDEN OF YOUR HATRED AND WE WILL DIE TOGETHER! and . absolutely Everybody in that room just goes ???????????? what the FUCK is he TALKING ABKHT. everybody except sasuke. sasuke smirks and he’s like sure. they just talked about dying together and meeting each other in a different life where they’ll be free of their burdens and they’re just Fine and all ok smiling at each other and everyone is so fucking confused. like the entire supporting cast is with us side eyeing sasuke and naruto and thinking what in the everloving FUCK is WRONG WITH YOU????????

Finals

Propaganda Under Cut

Sakura Haruno

Her husband is gay and her author doesn't know how to write women. So many people say she's the worst but she. DESERVES. BETTER!!! Save her from this franchise.

My baby girl my bestie my best friend. She committed the crime of um being written by kishimoto who both doesn’t know how to write women and somehow writes men in the gayest way possible specifically naruto and sasuke. Like the thing is naruto and sasuke ARE gay and also she gets so much hate for the crime of kishimoto writing her one dimensionally in love with sasuke. I know her personally she is a butch lesbian to me just trust me she’s in love with Ino and has a lesbian thing going on with Karin okay just trust me. My everything. She needs to divorce the loveless lavender marriage she’s in 

What is there to say, even? The OG Threat to my 90s anime brain, the only woman I've ever hated with such a passion she made me turn away from the color pink. I used to write fics with my friend where she got left behind on purpose so our OCs could join the Naruto and Sasuke team instead. I loathed this bitch until I was 16 and realized the author simply couldnt write women and decided it was time to make peace with Sakura. It is not her fault she's vaguely written and obsessive over Sasuke. She deserves better. Sasuke and Naruto still should be together and Sakura shouldnt be with Sasuke but I no longer believe this because I hate Sakura, it is because I love her. She deserves a spouse who will actually put in the time to treat her like the hero she is.

Misa Amane

she gets treated in-canon the way fandoms treat female characters that Threaten an m/m ship. it's like, "oh why don't you go sit in the corner and be pretty, misa, while the Men have intelligent conversation and pretend they aren't ten seconds from fucking each other, doesn't that sound nice?" it's infuriating. and MAYBE it's better now but i remember her getting treated the same way in fanfiction too, like we all need to do just as badly by our female secondary characters as fucking tsugumi ohba, but with the added insult of making her be alternately oblivious of the relationship between light and L or actively trying to sabotage it—incompetently, of course, because god forbid misa be allowed dignity or moments of cleverness.

she's one of the first characters I think of when I consider old school fandom misogyny. The annoying bitch and clingy crazy gf allegations were AFTER HER ASS. She's also a lot more intelligent than people gave her credit for, but most seem inclined to take the Very Biased word of our unreliable, narcissistic narrator and his homoerotic arch nemesis and claim that just because she's bubbly and into romance that she's also a complete moron. Which is blatantly untrue. Everyone was afraid of Misa girlbossing too hard. Killing people and devoting yourself to the deranged twink of your dreams even though you know he'll never love you back??? Having a hardcore goth aesthetic and being so Hot even literal Death Gods are into you?? God forbid women do ANYTHING!

Not only is she the victim of yaoi culture, she is the victim of early 2000s misogyny by an author that wanted to introduce a girl character because he knew his male rivals were getting too homoerotic. She is a goth bimbo icon who portrays what I think is one of the few callouts for stan culture and what parasocial relationships can do to both the stan and the idol. The fact that she is a toxic fan of Kira and also hot, funny, sociable is tragic in its own way, which I think the author did try to touch on but was too misogynistic too really get through. Of course, she was reduced to villain status by the fandom and anime alike because she got in the way of the supposed romance in their psychological horror anime

[twomiddlefingersforthehaters]

As the title of chapter 288 says, "Uncomprehending Feelings", Sai is trying to learn about bonds and questioning things what he doesn't understand. Mainly among them is the bond between Sasuke and Naruto, what is so special about it? Why does that naruto still care/concerned about sasuke or why does he feel strongly about Sasuke despite he betrayed and hurted him?

Sakura is thinking and trying to put their bond into words, but she is unsure of what to say because she doesn't really understand it either... And then tells Sai 'Naruto...thinks of Sasuke like a brother'.

We can clearly see her hesitant face in the panel, but her face is totally hidden from the readers when she makes that statement about Naruto and Sasuke to Sai.

Then we see Sai telling Sasuke those words that Sakura told him. And Sasuke directly states that Itachi is the only brother he has.

What I noticed about this scene is that here Sasuke's face is hidden in the speech bubble. Yes I know his face is already hidden from us but after hearing what Sai said we can only see his side (hidden) profile. This was the exact opposite of what happened with Sakura... because we could clearly see her face.

This whole time during the quarrel between Sai and Naruto, we could see Sakura's face, but her face was only hidden when she said 'Naruto thinks Sasuke as a brother'. Maybe she's just lying to herself because she doesn't truly understand Naruto and Sasuke. If she doesn't understand Naruto and Sasuke's bond, how could she even answer Sai's question.

But when Sasuke makes it clear that he only has one brother, the panel zooms in on his face. It's the only time in this chapter that Sasuke's face is shown in such a close-up, and he's not hiding anything, he's stating the facts. As he tells them, "You're all wrong". Sasuke didn't see Naruto as a brother, he never called him that.

In chapter 559, Sakura decides to kill Sasuke and also decides to make a fake confession to Naruto so he will stop chasing Sasuke for her.

She came to the conclusion that Naruto is in love with her and that he was doing all this because of his promise to her.

This is so hilarious, Naruto was pining over Sasuke two pages before Sakura says this...and it all happens in the same chapter.

Even Shizuna could tell what Naruto was doing, not because of the promise, but because he genuinely wanted to save him. Yet Sakura thought it was only for her, thinking that her confession would stop Naruto from chasing Sasuke, and was shocked when Naruto said that the promise it doesn't even matter. Kishi is such a troll and he's so funny LOL

huh yunjin x nmixx!reader (fluff)

WARNINGS ; mentions of iz*one disbandment

yunjin wasn't exactly looking forward to the mama awards, not as much as the others.

being a kpop fan herself, she knew that the awards would always be rigged against them, and it didn't help that they were doing a collab stage with people she didn't know.

her introverted self could not handle that.

she walked arm in arm with eunchae, the two chattering away as sakura was on her phone. chaewon and kazuha lagged behind the three of them, both trying to stay awake and barely managing.

"it's too early for this," chaewon complained, just wanting to be back in her dorm.

sakura shrugged. "at least it's only a couple hours. usually, practice lasts up to ten, right?"

chaewon grumbled, hating that the older girl was right.

the group entered the practice room, all overwhelmed at the extreme amount of idols that were there. there had to be at least three groups in the room already.

sakura and chaewon smiled as IVE made their way to the girls.

"chaewon-unnie! kkura-unnie!" wonyoung grinned at them, engulfing the shorter girls into a hug.

"don't hog them. their as much mine as they are yours." yujin joked, sending a playful look to her older ex-members.

both groups bowed. the two have been familiar with each other, with five of the eleven girls competing in the same show. even the maknaes, eunchae and leeseo, occasionally talked to each other.

"there's a lot of people here," sakura observed. "it's already making me tired."

gaeul chuckled. she sighed, looking at the idols huddled into their own groups. "it looks like people are still warming up."

sakura nodded. "we must all be introverts."

the two groups made their way to their own corner. both stretching and warming up for their practice for the award show.

it was fairly quiet, the girls far too tired or far too introverted to say anything. no one during four in the morning was energetic this early.

"gaeul!" a voice shouted from the entrance of the room as it slammed open.

yunjin watched with wide eyes as you raced towards IVE, slamming straight into the main dancer and picking her up. behind you, the rest of nmixx bowed in apology to everyone in the room.

"unnie, put me down!" gaeul struggled as you spun her around more.

many of the idols stared at you with a smile. aside from your visuals, you were known in the industry to be extremely bubbly and extroverted. it had become an inside joke in your company that you and yoona were the love children of your seniors, tzuyu and sana. both you and yoona looked similar to the two of them, but yoona had gotten tzuyu's personality, while you had gotten one similar to sana's.

you put the shorter girl down before bowing to the other IVE members. "sorry for the disruption. when i heard i was gonna see gaeul-ie again i got excited."

"it's okay, unnie," yujin smiled. "you know we don't mind."

you grinned at her, patting her arm gently. "you and wonyoung grew up so well."

yujin blushed. she, wonyoung and gaeul trained with you at starship until you had gotten an offer to jyp earlier that year. it was only natural that you guys had become close.

"unnie!" you heard kyujin call behind you. "get dressed! haewon-unnie said practice is starting soon!"

you waved them goodbye, not realizing that a certain idol had their gaze trained on you this entire time.

yunjin furrowed her eyebrows, frustrated with the fact that she couldn't remember which group you were in, or what your name was. all she could remember is that you smiled at her the entire time while she was dancing to fearless (her own song), causing her to mess up multiple times.

yunjin groaned, slamming her head onto the car's headrest. "unnie?"

chaewon and sakura hummed.

"who was that earlier?" yunjin played with her phone case as she closed her eyes. "the girl who jumped gaeul-ssi?"

sakura bit back a smile, knowing where this was going. all the girls from le sserafim already knew about yunjin's preferences, it was just funny to them when it happened since it was so rare.

"y/l/n y/n from nmixx?" chaewon raised an eyebrow. "why?"

"nothing," yunjin made a face, moving her eyes away from chaewon. "just curious."

"i saw unnie watching her the entire time from far away." kazuha stated, earning a look of betrayal from the american.

the japanese girl shrugged.

"i saw that too!" eunchae laughed, pointing at yunjin's face. "she looked like this the entire time."

the other members watched as eunchae recreated a face that was somewhere in between 'wow, she's pretty' to 'i think i want to get married today'."

"what? no!" yunjin protested. the other girls looked at her, causing her to make a face of guilt. chaewon, kazuha and eunchae laughed, the youngest turning her head away. sakura looked at her in disbelief. "okay, maybe. can't i stare at pretty girls?"

sakura rolled her eyes playfully at yunjin's explanation.

"you wanna kiss her!" eunchae teased, making kissing motions towards yunjin.

chaewon covered the youngest's face in disgust, only for eunchae's affection to be redirected toward her.

"she's your age, y'know?" sakura mentioned as chaewon screamed behind them.

yunjin looked curiously. "how do you know?"

a louder, much more kazuha-like screech was heard behind the two.

"her and yuri are friends." sakura said, glancing over at the three as they play fought. "she used to visit us from time to time."

yunjin nodded, ignoring a scream that sounded more like the youngest. "do you know if she's, like... y'know?"

sakura shrugged, reaching for her noise-canceling headphones.

yunjin sighed, decidedly giving up no matter how pretty she thought you were. she couldn't just go up to you and ask, it wasn't like america here.

it had been the second week, the last until the mama awards. even though her body was sore from all the dancing, yunjin found herself looking forward to the early practices. you had been selected to dance for IVE's eleven, and watching you dance was enough for her, even if she wasn't talking to you.

the entire studio was on break, and many of the idols had gone out, except a couple who stayed to practice more.

yunjin danced in the mirror, not realizing a figure showed up beside her.

"huh yunjin-ssi, right?"

she jumped slightly, turning around to the shorter girl.

"yeah." yunjin cleared her throat, extremely caught off guard. "um, that's me."

you smiled at her, fiddling nervously with the marker in your pocket. "lily said you were my age. you're born 2001?"

"i am." yunjin nodded.

"i know this is sudden," you could feel your throat bubble up with nervousness, but you tried your best to shake it off without the blonde girl noticing. "but could i get your number? no one else here is born the same year as us."

"s-sure! yeah!" she screamed internally ('jennifer, calm down'). "let me just, let me just get my phone."

"i have a marker." you interjected, pulling a black sharpie out of your pocket. you offered it to her. "just write it on my arm."

she felt herself blush in embarrassment. "i didn't memorize my number."

you nodded, accidentally linking eyes with a smirking jiwoo in the mirror. you looked back at yunjin. "then can i write my number on your arm?"

"huh?" she blinked for a second, trying to process what was happening as fast as she could. "yeah. yeah, of course."

"cool." you smiled brightly, part of her melting inside. you grabbed her arm, a spark suddenly running through her veins as you wrote your number. "i'm y/l/n y/n from nmixx by the way."

"i know." yunjin said, a bit too quick for her liking. her eyes widened, watching you giggle as you put the marker away. "i mean, who doesn't, y'know?"

you watched her as she blushed lightly. it was obvious to anyone watching the scene (i.e. your group mates) that yunjin was flustered based on the face she was making. you bit your tongue in between your teeth.

"you're so cute!" you giggled, your eyes turning into creases from joy. yunjin sighed shakily, not realizing that the rest of her team had already come back with food and was watching the entire interaction (which she would be teased heavily for once she got back to the dorms). "you're such a good dancer, by the way. very western-eques."

yunjin scratched her shoulder, "well, i am from the states."

"really?" your eyes shined brightly, realizing you met another english speaker. you cleared your throat as you spoke english, "i'm from the UK, actually."

yunjin felt her breath get taken away. not only were you cute, pretty, talented and her type, you were also british. that was double her type.

"you're british?" she asked with wide eyes.

"yeah, i am. born and raised there. until i moved here, of course." you smiled. you looked over her shoulder, finding that the members of le sserafim were watching you intently. "looks like your members are waiting for you."

yunjin turned around, meeting eyes with chaewon who gave her a knowing look.

"you better text me later, huh yunjin!" you teased the taller girl as you walked back to your group. "i'm looking forward to it!"

she nodded, looking at the number on her arm as her members rushed towards her, eunchae shaking her back in forth in excitement.

yunjin bit back a smile.

Y'all know the drill, please read from left to right ^-^ (The panels, not the speech bubble!)

Yo, sup optta is back again with some crappy translation. I decided to translate it myself because why not? (Don't take this whole translating thingy of me seriously, I mostly just babble dingy ding the whole translating process, I'm a mess!)

Anyways!

My headcanon of this particular doujin is that the reason why Hinata attended the Gōkon was that she and Naruto aren't a thing yet. Because people who attend Gōkon are particularly single people (either male or female) finding someone that they can "click" with very well either for the night or in the long run. (that includes why Sakura is there too.. perhaps her relationship with Sasuke wasn't at that level yet) hence why they're in that group date together with Tenten.

I also realized that because Hinata still thinks that Naruto has some sort of infatuation with Sakura, she doesn't wanna see her future boyfriend (heh) get sad because Sakura clicked with someone else. But little did Hinata know that Naruto's heart already belonged to someone else (and it's literally herself nonetheless, ughh, love me some oblivious Hinata!!) It's so lovely that she cares a lot.. not just for Naruto but even for Sakura?!!? But it's also bittersweet?? Like Hinata just accepted that she'll never be in Naruto's heart like the way Sakura would. Because she'd been pining for Naruto for so long that she thought it was her reality. A harsh one I might add.

Don't you just love it when Naruto acts so jealous of this one guy who, 1. Doesn't even have that interest in Hinata, and 2. Is literally a Naruto fan?! I'm seriously cackling. Naruto sure is so scared because he wasn't upgraded yet with his relationship with Hinata that he felt threatened by her new friend, thinking this new guy will snatch Hinata away?! T–T

I don't know why, but it's so funny to me that the new guy is like all happy and flushed when he got the chance to shake hands with his idol but then Naruto pulled that shit and now he's shock (more like terrified) because he didn't know his idol could be like that?? (Nah hun, for me I think it's hot and just like Naruto, that man has so many jealous hormones on his body. And people question why they have two children?)

Note! Don't try this at home. I have so much time to spare that I do this illegally. I've only done this to enjoy the doujin myself, so the translation, typesetting and stuff are all crappy because look, I'm in no way shape or form a professional! Hehe, so it's fine for me to not earn from this. The translation is also inaccurate.

This is so damn long, sorry. Just enjoy the 4-page doujin then!

~~~NEW UPDATE~~~

(I'M A DUMBASS WHO DOESN'T KNOW HOW TUMBLR WORKS SO IF YOU SAW THIS ALREADY NO YOU DIDN'T)

I'm glad people liked my 4コマ KINGS post so much lol. I love spreading the word about obscure lore :)

Under the cut I've responded to some of my favorite tags, given a little more backstory into the source of these pictures, as well as posted a few new ones :D

There's also a question at the very bottom that I'd love to hear opinions on, but no pressure if y'all don't feel comfortable answering ^w^

You're welcome >:D

Same, bro. I was basically thinking that the entire time I was reading these books lol

I feel like I should give a little context to these comics and where they come from lol. I wasn't very clear about the backstory in my original post. I do agree, when I found these, I thought they were super important, too, particularly because I don't think a lot of the fandom knows about these books lol.

The Danganronpa 4コマ KINGS anthology series was published in the early 2010's featuring a bunch of different artists. The series is 4 volumes long and published by Spike Chunsoft, meaning, while these aren't necessarily canon, they ARE official :)

There is another series of anthologies in relation to both the first and second games, but I don't have those.

The first two volumes of this series is relatively well documented. There are sites where English translations have already been added to all of the comics in them (I'm pretty sure), as well as some screenshots popping up on places like Pinterest.

The third and fourth installments, however, are really poorly archived. The third has some content from it floating around, but it's hard to come by. The fourth had almost no information on it no matter where I searched.

I say this because a while ago I found the ONLY pictures of the Mastermind!Taka comic on this really old Tumblr blog from 2014 and REALLY wanted to figure out what it was about. (Didn't help that I couldn't read some of the bubbles in those photos.) First I searched for an English translation (there wasn't (so I'm working on one hehe)), then I tried to find which book it was even from, and NOTHING!

These books, since they were in circulation around 2014-ish, have stopped being printed, so copies of them are very hard to come by. Luckily, I was able to get my copies from a kind stranger on Ebay :)

-NOW-

Here are a few more pictures that I thought were funny/interesting that I couldn't add in my first post because of the picture limit lol.

Sorry for the really long post, I just thought it'd be interesting to share :)

Here's the page of artists that contributed to this anthology! Please go check them out (or see if they have any socials since it's been so long). Some credits change per volume, hence how many photos there are. (And sorry for my hand, it's hard to hold these open lol.)

You've probably all seen the covers, but have you seen what's behind the covers? (Also including the opening illustrations. These have probably been posted online already as well, but they're worth including imo.) (Again, please excuse the fingers, I'm trying my best ;-;)

^ Sayaka came with a smudge :( she still pretty tho

So, uh, remember when I said Hifumi made ship fodder? ......Here it is. Eat your heart out lol

Also remember when I said that Mondo's hair was fluffy and bouncy? Here's the proof:

Sakura has been de-buff-ified twice LMAO

ALSO remember when I said Syo was a fan of BL? ...... :)

ALSO remember when I said Kyoko was kinda socially awkward?

(Context: Kyoko sees Kiyotaka and Mondo calling each other bro and, thinking it'll strengthen their bond as well, calls Makoto "Makoto-oniichan," or "big brother Makoto" lol. Also, second picture says "I have come to save you, Makoto")

Chihiro Shinji chair meme

I'm at my picture cap, but there's a lot I haven't brought up lol

-SO-

For a different thread, would people like me to find pictures of certain characters? (i.e. just photos of the characters looking cool/hot/stupid without a lot of the text.) Because I am totally willing to do that :)

I've already got a lot on Byakuya, Sakura, Aoi and Mondo for all you simps out there, and it's not hard to find even more lol.

So lmk :D

P5 Until Dawn AU

"O Death, O Death... Won't you spare me over 'til another year?"

Inspiration struck upon remembering this gem of a game (took me a bit to save EVERYONE though!!)! Before I start, some notes to keep in mind:

*Character personalities are primarily determined by player choices in the game generally so as a result the P5 Cast will STAY as their respective canon characterizations.

**Given that you can have the whole main cast survive, this will be based on a no-death run except for characters that do die no matter your choices (Ex: Beth, Flamethrower Guy)

***Some story beats will be changed to better accommodate the characters and their personalities... That and small canon complaints (Josh deserved better... Forever bitter about that)

****I couldn’t figure out a role for Sophia now matter how hard I tried so her being a little sibling to Ren it is!

Others:

Flamethrower Guy- Iwai (Sadly doesn’t survive the story, his motivation for hunting Wendigos is tied to Kaoru though)

Dr. Hill- Dr. Maruki (Starts out patient and empathetic but then grows more unhinged and assertive as the story progresses)

Other Plot Info:

+Zenkichi was hired by the Yoshizawas to investigate the disappearance of the twins on the side along with chaperoning due to his occupation and being a family friend (he was passed out drunk with Akechi at the time of the incident and wants to make up for his mistake). He decides to bring Akane with him in an attempt to bond with her before she enters High School (Aoi is still dead).

+Potential Pairings- PegoRyu and YuMako

Full Plotline still a W.I.P. but so far:

-Akechi was an orphan who was adopted by the Yoshizawas, he immediately grew attached and protective of his new sisters (which naturally becomes warped due to grief)

-Sumire develops a crush on Ren when she gets introduced to the group, he sadly doesn’t return them and sees her as a close friend. Like Hannah, she gets a tattoo of a butterfly at one point.

-As previously mentioned, Zenkichi is a family friend and would often join their getaways with Aoi and Akane until the former’s passing and the latter growing distant from him. After that he mostly chaperones.

Prologue- One Year Ago

-The context for this particular getaway is celebrating Haru, Akechi, and Makoto graduating High School with the others entering either their 2nd or 3rd years.

-The prank is given slightly different context but still not good at all. It’s not out of any pettiness or spite but they thought it would be “funny” somehow (they quickly learn that it really wasn’t and are quick to feel ashamed).

-Ren actually starts to have second thoughts about it and was going to try to stop Sumire but the others give themselves away before he could. Sumire naturally feels upset and betrayed as she impulsively runs off.

-Kasumi meanwhile, catches wind of something being up and briefly sees Sumire run by through a window. She tries to wake a passed out Akechi and Zenkichi but fails, prompting her to investigate.

-The others head out the door, calling after her in concern. Kasumi questions them and when they admit what they did, she gets furious with them and goes to find her sister (they briefly consider going after both of them but feel like that they were the last people they’d want to see (Sumire especially))

-Fast forward to Kasumi finding Sumire, they hear a loud noise and run for it. They get cornered at the end of a cliff and slip, Kasumi being able to grab a branch and catch Sumire.

-A strange person looks down at them, appearing to reach for them. Kasumi panics and lets go, both girls falling into the cave below.

One year later and the real story starts:

Dr. Maruki: So, you have committed to commence with this 'game'. This is significant. And I want to help you see it through. Sometimes... Sometimes these things can be a little scary... Even terrifying... But I am here to make sure that no matter how upsetting things may get, you'll always find a way to work through it.

That's about it so far guys! I'll admit I had a lot of fun with this one!

Random Discourse about Sakura and women:

Anime community especially MEN is wack pls I’m begging y’all just say u hate women and MOVE ON it’s getting EMBARRASSING how blatant misogyny is showing or just watch the BARBIE 2023 movie (aka feminism/the patriarchy broken down in the simplest terms possible) 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️‼️‼️

I’m an adult woman and have broken down my internalized misogyny that plagued me as a child in the anime community aka I got over the whole “Sakura is useless” thing which was lowkey funny 10 years ago but is NOW very much giving off hating women vibes.

Like as an adult I can wholeheartedly say that I do not expect men to be able to write female characters properly. Hence as a baseline all female characters r automatically considered “cool” until they prove otherwise bc ik for a fact that their faults r due to the author. Especially in anime where we’ve seen over and over again how female characters lack where their male counterparts prosper. (I’m an anthropology student and I very much want to write a dissertation on sexual repression/misogyny in Japanese culture bc I recently visited and YIKES but that’s irrelevant rn lol).

It’s very much disappointed but not surprised and I will say that in the Shounen category it’s gotten a lot better (such as chainsaw man✨chefs kiss✨ or JJK) where female characters are just like the protagonist aka normal ppl without the whole tsundere archetype that’s automatically assigned to female characters (I cannot help but think that archetype was created by men’s lack of comprehension of women eventually turning into comedic violence. Which in a meta viewpoint means that women have to be physically strong/inhibit violence in order to be a “strong” character/stand beside their male counterpart. Which is just untrue and annoying god I hate that archetype). There’s definitely been an improvement of women just being goofy and unhinged and I love that (once again Power), and I can’t help but think that Naruto was probably a big influence in that.

Say what u will about the series but Naruto was definitely a pioneer/classic archetypes for modern shounen. My babygirl Sasuke is the OG angsty-dark haired boy in a trio ft the MC and main girl, the traumatized aloof teacher, tournament arcs, etc. Part of that influence is also learning from the mistakes of the series, specifically the most prominent female character aka learning to write women from Kishimoto’s mistakes.

Idk I feel like it’s just so hard to be a woman and watch anime only bc the female characters are so lacking most of the time. Once again there have been improvements but it feels like we’re doing a “congrats u’ve done the bare minimum” or there’s themes of feminism/foreshadowing development but that’s basically dropped. For example: BNHA all the girls in 1-A have the exact same personality (minus Jirou). They’re all cheerful, bubbly, nice and it’s not bad it’s just fucking BORING like it would’ve been a lot more entertaining to have a somewhat female Bakugo or even Mirko-like personality in the class. Or ooooh give me a misunderstood MEAN GIRL (Ao No Flag QUEEN MAMI I LOVE HER SO MUCH‼️😩😩). In BNHA in the beginning there was definitely the theme of treatment of female heroes that was gonna be set up but dropped. Ex: Momo being sexualized (another discourse), Bakugo vs Uraraka and how Bakugo was being booed for not holding back on a girl, etc….

“Sakura is useless” = “blank is a better love story than Twilight” in my head….truly just say u hate teenage girls/ANY activity girls enjoy (I will never forgive ppl for making fun of girls for buying hydro flasks) and move on the conversation is tiring and BORING. Aka I love Twilight UNIRONICALLY and ironically like 7th grade me was a die hard STAN and I love that about myself which made living thru the active 2012 twilight era painful. Even my king Robert Pattinson said hating twilight isn’t cool anymore 🫡🫡🫡

Flashfoward I think I’m more than qualified to say that to ME Sakura is just okay. I will argue there’s only 4 well written female characters in Naruto (TSUNADE, KONAN, Karin and Kushina). Like even if I wasn’t a diehard SNS shipper I feel like overall she’s just aight, once again I’m kinda just neutral on her bc she’s just kinda there up until that ridiculous war arc that I semi refuse to believe exists. I have OPINIONS on the whole “new age Sannin/Team 7 dynamic” that everyone loves but feels like lazy writing.

Not saying anything to fanfic writers or Sakura Stans bc y’all do u, but I feel like it says a lot in a sad way how Sakura is shipped with every single male character in the series or how in fanfic she’s given Mokutan or part of a clan (which admittedly is very fun to think about). I can’t help but feel that she’s such a blank slate that u really CAN ship her with every character and it would somehow work. For example: could you do that to someone like Sasuke? I mean if ur a talented enough writer than SLAY but for the most part Sasuke has such a defined personality and VALUES that it’s HARD. Or Sakura is born into a clan and given a cool jutsu (which kinda disregards the point of her character: being one of the only Civilian born kids/normal person in her whole class thrown into the terrible and cruel world of Naruto and having to actually work to even SURVIVE not to mention trying to “catch up” to an Uchiha and the 9 tails). Once again fanfic writers you do you I’ll eat that shit up no cap LOL

This post was originally a crack post but turned into a discourse of women in anime LMAOO anyways here’s the actual post:

I am CONVINCED every fandom has a self insert character like for Naruto it’s SAKURA bc the way she’s shipped with EVERY character is so funny (where do y’all come up with MADARA AND SAKURA LIKE WHAT SHSJSKKSKKSK)

Like omg in Game of Thrones it’s totallyyyy JON or Sansa (which kinda makes me sad bc they’re both super unhinged in the books esp Jon mans is basically the teenage manager of the worst McDonald’s in Alaska like his POVs r sooo funny and melodramatic)

In Tokyo Rev it’s Takemichi bc how is he a cannon folder in his own anime 😭😭😭 or maybe it’s bc everyone is horny that they gotta be Takemichi to get with one of the boys in fanfic LOLL😵‍💫😵‍💫

[highpri3stess]

tell me about your Naruto rarepairs and crackships 😉

OH THERE ARE TONS

My first is SakuKarin - I know what you're thinking, where is this coming from? But like, I just thought, what if they bonded after that waterfall scene and Sakura kept seeing Karin while she was in prison and they became friends. What if Karin could help Sakura in her medical research during the last while they both got over Sasuke together? What if they went on a trip were Karin talks more on her childhood and Sakura does the same? So many what ifs with these two so much that I literally wrote a fic about them. The first ever wlw fic I wrote was a SakuKarin fic. I pretty much was the only one who shipped this unironically.

InoShino: let me tell you something funny. I actually wrote a full on fanfic about them dating in a highschool au and I got both Naruto and non-Naruto fans SHIPPING THEM. The prospects of quiet, reserved and observant guy and outgoing, bubbly girl just had me squealing. Imagine Ino and Shino working together, with Shino using his bugs that could help Ino's flowers grow. These two would have made an iconic duo as they're not ashamed to say their minds and they would have just worked had it been they had interactions. Imagine Ino slowly keeping Shino in mind and everytime they meet she has new information to share with each other. Missed opportunity.

LeeSaku: Need I say more? The fandom speaks for itself.

NaruShika: Reading shippuden, I was fully convinced Shikamaru was in love with Naruto. Like for god's sake, Shikamaru went from not even considering Naruto to believing and putting his life on the line for Naruto. Shikamaru always went out of his way to cheer Naruto up and he genuinely wanted to see Naruto progress. There's so much I want to say but I'm kinda running on borrowed time writing this.

NaruGaa: Honestly, it's one sided but I love angst. Gaara was in love with Naruto and probably still is, you can't change my mind. I mean, remember that scene in the land of Iron where Gaara looked like he was kicked when Naruto shoved him away when he was trying to comfort him. #JusticeforGaara

SakuTen: they should have explored Sakura's admiration for Tenten more. Sakura's relationships with the girls in her life should have been explored more than whatever Kishi did to her character. They would have made a bad ass couple.

And finally Shino x myself: Need I say more? Nope, self-explanatory

[volchyayagoda]

i don't think i ever posted much about our trip to japan, and today i starting thinking about some of favorite memories, so here, you guys can have them too:

walking through a field-y part of ueno zoo behind a group of college boys who had made up a call and response song about aye-ayes. funny kings one and all

the group of girls with a bubble machine at shibuya crossing late in the evening who were clearly having the time of their lives

the two extremely sweet older ladies who were handing out samples of, i think some kind of jelly?, at a food court who were very excited to practice their english with us while i was trying to practice my japanese with them. they were even more excited when we told them we were from reno and started telling us how much they loved las vegas

walking along the path to ueno shrine, where some of the sakura had bloomed early

hanging out at nara park and watching a drama unfold where a little boy (maybe 5 or 6?) wanted to feed the deer, apparently not expecting the deer to be so aggressive when you have senbei for them, and a minute later watching this same boy run away from the deer, who followed, while screaming for his dad to help him, and his dad just stood there cracking up. like, me if i was a dad, honestly. the boy was fine btw

going to tokyo tower at night, which i had wanted to do since i was 12-years-old, and meeting a subaru cosplayer. things that make me think "actually fate IS real"

trying to get up the courage to ask a mandarake employee where to find the saiyuki doujinshi for kate, and while kate and i were discussing this, another customer overheard me and asked if i wanted help, and then very kindly asked for me. this actually gave me the courage to ask where to find the berserk doujinshi later (:

the very nice older man on a packed evening train who offered kate his seat, which was a godsend because her feet were dead after a full day of shopping

our first taxi driver, who was unfortunately very soft-spoken, speaking with me in japanese even though i had to keep asking him to repeat himself bc i couldn't Hear, and telling me i spoke beautifully, which i know actually means "it's very nice that you're trying", but was still very sweet to hear like right after getting off the plane

the little ramen-ya that sat six people we found in osaka where i had the best ramen i have ever tasted in my fucking life. i dream about her every day

seeing all the girls around kyoto who were dressed in kimono for graduation.

going to kasuga-taisha shrine. i'm not religious in any way, but it was a very like...meaningful experience. that's the non-corniest way i can put it lol

watching the real life mario kart tournament happening on some cordoned off streets while we were walking back to the train from tokyo tower. the little carts were so fucking funny and it was absolutely delightful

walking down the street in kyoto and seeing a man cycle past us with his sleeping shiba inu tucked into like, a baby sling on his chest

THIS BIG FUCKING CRAB ANIMATRONIC IN OSAKA. IT MOVES! BEHOLD THIS STILL IMAGE

[thottyimagines]

WHO's the best to trust with the task of painting your nails? like "Baaaabe, can you help me? i always mess up one hand 🥺can you do both for me?? 🥺🥺🥺

i feel like some are like, natural nail artists and get the perfect coverage w/ no bubbles AND no polish on the skin some who do aight, a lil lumpy in some spots and need a tad touch up the terribles who really tried their best, but its awful and the jackasses who purposefully mess up bc they think it's funny lmao

Natural-born artisté

Deidara, obviously, has the best nails of all and can make yours look great, too

Ino was born ready to make nails look fantastic and is ready for a full manicure with anyone who even thinks of asking

Neji isn’t actually capable of doing a bad job with personal grooming. He won’t offer on others, but if he is asked nicely, he can do a great job.

Kankuro paints the exact same thing on his face daily - of course he can paint nails perfectly

Fine, I guess

Kakashi never cared all that much for it, but his natural talent wins out and it isn’t too bad, even when he isn’t really trying

Sakura tries so hard to be perfect at it, but she always needs a bit of a clean up. This makes her furious. 

Shikamaru is surprisingly decent at it, because he doesn’t want to go through the trouble of having to do the whole thing over again if Ino catches him with unkempt, poorly-painted nails. Therefore, he can do yours well enough,t oo. 

Tenten would make an effort (sometimes), but she isn’t too bothered if they aren’t perfect, tbh. She shouldn’t be your first choice, but she can do a decent job. 

Bad, but they try

Kisame does his best when he must, it’s just...sadly ugly

Naruto wants to be good, and he tries! God, he tries. But he is never quite steady enough for it to truly look good without some outside interference. 

Might Guy makes a glorious effort, but he can never wait for his nails to dry properly so they’re always smudged and chipped. This extends to others, so he is not your best bed. 

Itachi continues to be blind as a bat and trying his best, but he’s not entirely sure what color he’s even supposed to be painting anyone’s nails, at this point. 

Purposefully awful

Hidan would take pleasure in wrecking his manicure, your manicure and anyone else’s. 

Sasuke has a steady hand, so he’s truly going out of his way to do a bad job painting nails. 

Tsunade does a bad job so no one asks her and also so she can ask others to paint her nails for her. 

Tobi would gleefully dunk full fingers in nail polish. 

[dullahandyke]

Ok back to dgs, trial 1 part 3 ^_^

We're like 2 lines in and auchi is already being misogynist... bro fuck of

[ID: a still from The Great Ace Attorney, in which Susato Mikotoba and Kazuma Asougi are both behind the defense bench.]

omg they're both here.... hello <3 squad...

Nooo shes leaving already... sads :(

The poison needs to have entered thru a wound... the burn mayhaps ? But then why steal the glass...

Brett's drinking animation is rlly nice tho... the zooms n shit

Oh this music is BANGING... idr the naming conventions of aa music and when they play but the one when brett goes full villain... mwah

RYUUS DOING RHE SCRAFCH BEHIND HEAD EMBARRASSED SPRITEEEEEE LIKE GRANDPA LIKE GRANDSON

[ID: Ryuunosuke Naruhodou's internal dialogue reads, "What is this, welling up inside me...? I've never felt like this before. It's a sort of conviction to break down all the discrepancies... It's so intense. Almost rage-like... And more than anything else, it's an animalistic desire... to take down my prey!" He then shouts, "Objection!"]

YESSSSS MY BOY LETS GO!!!!! also the lawyer genes r literally coming out it's so funny...

Brett destroying the bottle so it cant b tested for curare... first off suspicious as fuck, second off they can surely test the shards for trace amounts

Loving the view of multiple witnesses on the same stand I rlly like it... focusing on nosa while hosonaga is just standing there bleeding from the mouth in the corner of my vision

OH THIS MUSIC IS BANGGER I THINK ITS THE PIRSUIT THEME? LETS GO

All the music is so awesome in this game its polyphonous as fuck

Omg all the little chicks around the courtroom after brett's breakdown that's so cute...

YES ASOUGI USE YOUR KATANA!!!! so cools.... proud bf boasting abt how the naruhodou family will always b better than the auchi family

Jigoku mentioning the mission he imposed on asougi... why dont u fuck of.... I've noticed him being biased towards ryuu winning so that asougi can go to Britain that little fuck.... u dont deserve ur cool beard

Ok I know gumshoe is in charge of the confetti in modern aa but who the fuck is scattering sakura petals in this secret trial. Susatos in the fucking rafters lads

Oh God this victory theme is already so emotional.... gonna die to death when it plays eventually

SUSATO YAY SHES BACK!!!

Love asougi.... of COURSE hes taking the sword to Britain ryuu, why wouldnt he

Asougis little smile as he tells ryuu to celebrate... lets go my man

HEYRE NOT TAKING SUSATO TO LA CARNEVAL???????? BROOOO SHE DESWRVES IT GET HER BEEF!!!!!

Samurai on a mission again :) such a good song

And in comes the theme of destiny with the steel chair ??? Asougi saying he feels like ryuu is the one destined to b a lawyer instead of him... obvi its referring to the whole naruhodou lawyer thing but considering the shit asougi goes thru later... idk I'm putting a pin in that line

'You dont need knowledge of the law you need to BELIEVE' idk asougi it kinda sounds like u have this whole ace attorney thing down pat

'Asougi....mikotoba...susato.... hosonaga who didnt do anything but whatever...' go ryuu kill him <3

Finished the case jusr in time for bubbles to jump off me... now that's timing... ok I'm gonna go do shit (fold laundry, do some of my colour by numbers, etc) I'll probably start case 2 tonight... I shalt meet herlock >:) and other occurrences :( but also herlock >:)

[narutocharacterpolls]

JUST throwing it out there (re: poll idea about filler), but the filler and anime-only content truly obliterated Sakura and Sasuke's manga-canon characters (and Shikamaru + Choji too, they're written a lot more sympathetic to Naruto in childhood than they ever canonically were). There are entire arcs where Sakura and Sasuke are so OOC that it's almost hard to watch. Maybe you could do a "Who Got Done The Dirtiest By Studio Pierrot" for manga to anime adaptation.

Okay, the more I'm thinking of it (lol, talking myself into it now) how about a WORST filler arc poll as a compromise? In which case I want to be the first to nominate Tsunade's Infinite Tsukuyomi dream filler which was the most OOC, worst piece of garbage I have ever had to lay my eyes on. Evil OOC cop Sasuke? I'm already nauseous in disgust lol.

Regardless of what you choose though, I really love these polls and the commentary from the fandom. You guys are all really funny and these polls have really put a smile on my face as they go on (especially you OP!) :)

EVIL COP SASUKE I AM BARING MY TEETH AND GROWLINGGGG

Ehem…… Anyways I’d love to do some stuff about filler specific content! I think someone also suggested a best filler arc, so maybe I can do one of both best and worst like the character poll! A lot of the filler was such a disservice to not only the characters but the plot of Naruto itself…. So it definitely interests me to see which one you guys think did Naruto the dirtiest. Thanks for the suggestion! Also very happy you’re enjoying these polls! It’s interesting to see so many different opinions in one place, people normally tend to keep to their own bubbles (at least I certainly do) so it’s neat to see a whole realm of people here. Thank you :D

[sasukesun]

i've seen the replies in your post about someone saying you can't offer your opinion on something if you reblogged someones art which is so weird. this isn't even about the person whose opinion you are opposing, it's not rude to say it's projection to be multisasuke, when sasuke in canon only reciprocated naruto, i mean what is more based on nothing than to ship him with zoro lmao who isn't even part of the same universe. and saying sasuke doesn't like sakura's affection is just a canon fact. i have 0 problems with the artist who offered their opinion but you saying what you think on your blog is not backstabbing or harassing someone...what is wrong with people

people need to walk around the world wrapped in plastic bubble cause damn. it’s so funny how everybody is entitled to their own opinion until it’s negative lol i may sound harsh sometimes but i’m still minding my own business, i’m on my own online space and don’t intend to get out of it… like everybody can give their opinions but i can’t give mine when i think others’ are bad. and i’m not even looking for it, it’s just sent to me. ok.
