SO! 14 chapters into this masterpiece - I was surprised at my reading speed but then I remembered I once read 14 books in 7 days so I'm actually dallying right now - and can I just say I love how you connected the different groups into the same coherent narrative

Like, how you go from the kids to Kakashi and Genma to Ibiki and so on, it's very dynamic. I hate switching povs usually cuz they tend to slow shit down but you manage to keep everything feeling smooth and fluent. Quite the feat

Also, I adore the dynamic between Neji and Tenten. She deserves so much more than canon gave her and I get the vague feeling you agree xD

I'm also still very intrigued with how you write DID. Media portrayal tends to be very monotone if not malicious, you go for a very nuanced and appropriately unsettling portrayal that feels very respectful. Like, yeah it's terrifying, not because it immediately makes someone do evil shit (Criminal Minds!) but because changes in the mental landscape of a person are really fucking scary.

I'd also like to say you deserve a reward for managing the fucking 180 in the ShikaNeji dynamic compared to BtB without making it redundant. Lots of writers fall into the same patterns over and over until it becomes stale, you absolutely do not belong in that group

Uuuuuum, yeah that's it for now. I won't talk about That Man because I don't want to think about him *sniffs disdainfully* what a turd

So back to it I hop!

*the wild friend just drops onto the floor and keeps reading*

Dammit, Wild Friend...you're getting my Dastardly Twins emotional...

I'm so damned chuffed by this amazing feedback you're generously taking the time out to leave me...Thank You.

Also, I adore the dynamic between Neji and Tenten. She deserves so much more than canon gave her and I get the vague feeling you agree xD

Oh absolutely. I'd have loved to explore her more. I know Kishimoto's focus was predominantly on the male characters (understandably, I suppose, given the genre), which is why the women are interesting to flesh out. Especially secondary characters. I mean don't get me wrong, a deep-dive into Sakura would also be interesting. I touched on it a bit in HHU, but it's too easy to go down character rabbit holes. Must. Contain. Myself.

I'm also still very intrigued with how you write DID.

Thank you, Wild Friend. I hope it was respectfully written within the bounds of creative licence and storytelling. I had to do my homework surrounding this condition for an OC. No research is wasted.

I'd also like to say you deserve a reward for managing the fucking 180 in the ShikaNeji dynamic compared to BtB without making it redundant. Lots of writers fall into the same patterns over and over until it becomes stale, you absolutely do not belong in that group

I'm super happy you think so, Luv. Fortunately their own personal arcs help a lot with that...until of course....THE UNSPEAKABLE CANON HAPPENING...

✎cw: yandere/dark themes, kidnapping, toxic behavior, manipulation, physical abuse, blood, objectification(?), tell me if i missed any

✎notes: is security breach still a thing??? Cuz I may or may not have fallen for a certain daycare attendant. I looked at him and went "oh my gosh, I love him???" and now I think I went in too deep down the rabbit hole,,, also, I haven't written in months so pls bear with me

✧Sun and Moon are polar opposites as yanderes. Whilst Sun is obsessive, Moon is possessive beyond belief. Though both believe they're doing the best for you in their own messed up way, no matter if they're aware that what they're doing is wrong or not, you're not going anywhere

✧Sun sees you as a fragile little human that he needs to protect and guard 24/7. Unlike an animatronic such as himself, to a human a simple scratch can be enough to draw blood which throws him into a panic. He doesn't like seeing you hurt!

✧A clumsy person like you needs to be supervised or kept in a safe environment. Sun doesn't care if you're actually clumsy or not, he'll keep you in a safe and secure location to make sure you don't go wandering out and hurt yourself

✧He deludes himself into thinking that he knows what's best for you. That everything he has done, is doing, and will do in the future is in your best interest, regardless if it is or it isn't. So you better sit tight and be obedient or else...

✧Sun doesn't like harsh punishments all that much unlike Moon. He's afraid he might accidentally harm you badly so when he does punish you, it's usually depriving you of necessities, like food, water, a bed, ect. And it'll last however long he sees fit

✧Sun rewards you for being obedient and playing nice. You know how sometimes in kindergarten they have these boards with childrens' names with stars next to them? If you don't act out and actually listen to him, he'll give you a star. Each star gives you "privileges", as he likes to call them. You stayed in your room all day and didn't break anything or try to escape? You get a star, good girl/boy! Now you can walk around the daycare with him after hours for an hour or two!

✧You made an art piece just for him? How sweet! You get another star! Now you're allowed to request what you want to eat for tonight, instead of the cold, probably nearly spoiled pizza Sun often gives you for dinner. He'll treat you like a child still learning the ropes at times, and other times he'll treat you like a responsible adult. He'll switch between the two suddenly and randomly, it's difficult to get a read on him

✧As long as it pleases him, he'll give you a star pretty easily but he can also take them away as easily as he gave them. He'll treat you like a stubborn little kid if so. He'll scold you and lock you in a dark room or closet for hours on end until he's sure you learned your lesson

✧Most of the time Sun's punishments are humane, although they're mostly about treating you like a spoiled, stubborn little kid

✧Now onto Moon

✧Unlike Sun, he doesn't see you as a fragile human. He knows you'll probably break easily if he bends your limbs the wrong way but that won't stop him from treating you roughly especially if you're disobeying him or if he's just not in a good mood

✧Moon doesn't like anyone else being near you or even speaking about you so he locks you up for hours, a whole day if he's in a sour mood. And then proceeds to blame you for others speaking about you, scolding and gaslighting you

✧He's big on punishments. Unlike his counterpart, he doesn't want to "coddle" you, and treat you like a child who can't help themselves. You're tough, aren't you? Of course you are! You can handle a few hits, he knows you can. He knows how well you take his punishments...

✧He doesn't reward you as much as Sun, he rarely does actually, but on the rare occasions he does decide to reward you he only really does the bare minimum which is letting you wonder around in his and Sun's room freely without scolding you for every little thing you do. If he's feeling a little generous he'll let you eat. He'll give you he finds laying around, doesn't care if it can be considered a proper meal or not or if it's about to or has gone bad

✧Moon can be aggressive, he manhandles you around the daycare whenever he feels like it. He doesn't see you as a person like Sun does, he sees you as more of an object in his possession. He's not afraid to lose you and not afraid if he breaks you either because he can simply find a replacement

Is it weird if i say that I don't consider myself an army? Maybe few years ago, when I looked into them, i used to think I'm an army maybe but then i realised I can't consider myself an army ever. I stan another group and it's only that fandom that I'll always be able to say that I'm a part of. Maybe it's because i have it in my mind that i shouldn't get into other groups so deep cuz k-pop sucks and i need to prioritise my mental health. Or it could also be due to the many bad experiences with other toxic armys. It's weird that how much ever content of theirs that i consume, i just can't seem to make myself say that I'm a fan? But i adore them but it's difficult to actually say that I'm one, cuz idk how you feel but there's this strange thing that it's seriously hard to be their fan? Ok new armys can't relate. People literally fall into the rabbit hole. But like, usually i see something that strikes me and i go into the group and watch their content and all and find songs that I vibe with. But with BTS it's like, i remember earlier whenever I tried to stan them, it just hurt too much?? Ignoring their fandom toxic part. I just felt so much pain?? Does that make sense? I would feel so weird idk how to explain and i don't wanna go further into it without knowing your opinion haha

First of all, your opinion and feelings are perfectly okay and valid. Secondly, I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from, but I'll try to understand!

Why is it hard to be their fan? I can't be anyone else's fan, tbh, because other groups' content doesn't entertain me, and I don't love anyone else's music like I love BTS's discography or respect other artists like I respect BTS. To me, other groups don't seem to be as funny, interesting, and genuine as BTS, and they don't have the kind of friendships BTS have with each other either. I wanna like other groups too, but I can't. I like other groups' music and them in general, but it's not love haha.

So I really can't understand why you can't get into their content, because it's the only content I can get into... I don't get the comment about new Army not being able to relate either. Any Army was new Army once, that's how they became Army... We all go down the rabbit hole once. I've gone down it already and I'm still here...

Can you explain why you feel pain watching their content? That's the part I really don't understand. Honestly, it can be frustrating to be their fan when they're so pro-capitalism and consumerism, look up to assholes, try so hard to fit into an industry I hate, etc. But then I watch them live, and see how they love us and how good they are at heart... And I fall for them again. They're not different from anyone else, really...

Also, Army can be toxic, and I don't relate to a lot of Armys - I'm actually scared of talking to Armys because I think they'll hate me for the way I am, and I also judge most Armys hard for their choices - but I'm Army because the way I love BTS makes me Army, even if I express that love differently. I'm Army because I want to be Army, because I want to be Army to BTS, even if I don't relate to Army sometimes.

It's okay that you don't like their content, everyone's different. But could you explain why it's hard to be their fan? Apart from the Army thing. Why did you feel pain?

Thanks for sharing your feelings with me! Sorry I can't relate to you, but I wanna understand!
