My mom's husband has apparently started buying me knives every time he buys his son one ever since he found out I like them, and this year for Christmas he got me a fucking switchblade

I really like your nejisasuneji fanart!I think the similarity between Neji and Sasuke in Naruto is worth exploring. Both of them come from the pupil aristocracy, and their strength is about the same (the early Byakugan and Sharingan are both very strong), and both of them are rebels. Regardless of whether it was fate or the system, both people failed in the end. Neji still failed to escape fate and became a scapegoat. Sasuke finally compromised to the old system and ran around in order to maintain the status quo. It is very appropriate to use one sentence to evaluate the two people: "Those who try to control their destiny end up being controlled by destiny."It will be interesting for the sasuneji two to help each other: Sasuke helps Neji reform the Hyuga clan and break the curse seal of the caged bird. At the same time, the reform of the Hyuga clan becomes the beginning of the reform of the old system of the ninja world. Neji, who is no longer controlled by the caged bird, becomes Sasuke's right-hand man.

yesssss this is what drew me to them! i find it very interesting they are both clan prodigies with Baggage and both come from prestigious clans no less. remember when the sharingan and byakugan were compared to each other and it meant anything ever that was FUN.

i particularly enjoy the idea of contrasting them because If I Wrote Naruto (said every naruto fan ever) this conflict of like. sasuke goes on to be the one who could Not bear to stay in konoha and then later turns against it, vs neji who stayed in konoha after being promised that things would change (and they didn't. funny that) would be something to be explored! especially after Both having been seen as Shitty, Angry Prodigies. but neji "calmed down" after being made promises that weren't kept and sasuke didn't let himself even consider falling for stuff like that (until the ending of naruto lmfao)

i'm a big fan of characters who contrast like that lol and i think the whole sharingan vs byakugan thing is a very fun backdrop to that. like dreams/illusions vs reality/truth? come on now.

people joke about it a lot i've seen, but literally if neji as a character were allowed to 1. exist in a meaningful way at all in shippuden lmfao 2. interact with sasuke, i do think it'd be an easy path for interesting interactions, because like. having to defend the village who's literally never helped you, against the guy who was also Never given any assistance or support growing up, AFTER the village made you countless promises that your life would get better when it literally did not? lol. lmao even

them teaming up is sincerely on the like top 5 best things that would happen If Naruto Made Any Sense to me to be honest i do think about it a lot.

alternative art and social websites tend to occupy certain niches, and sites allowing more controversial content tend to, through their permissiveness and consequent reputation and circumstance, collect mostly extreme, explicit, and often kind of unpleasant or tasteless examples.

but lots of people with more murky interests aren't really interested in making extreme things, and their art or writing is actually pretty tame or tasteful. they can feel turned off from posting on anything with too negative a reputation, so "extreme" sites remain extreme. yet operating on mainstream sites, there's a constant risk of harassment or termination for Bad Vibes depending on the luck of the draw.

often i wish there were someplace to collect these odd in-between expressions, which speak quite deeply to me. someplace that generally operates on a baseline of good faith without being full libertarian and generally has a culture that doesnt prioritize explicit and overt representations. i don't think it's something that can be defined with rules and regulations; i think it has to be a combination of intentional and emergent cultures. who knows if it's possible. maybe some day

To celebrate the huge, life changing event that just happened (and Monica's stay over), Riley whipped up an impromptu picnic for his girl. I think she was pretty pleased, to say the least. She feels safe and happy with him and he feels at home with her. They spent hours enjoying each other's company, and Monica definitely had something serious on her mind...

There are parallels between the Nirnaeth Arnoediad and the War of the Last Alliance that I can’t stop thinking about.  

The Nirnaeth had The Union of Maedhros, an alliance of elves, men, and dwarves; the same races that were allied in the Last Alliance. Some of the men fighting during the Nirnaeth were the Unfaithful Easterlings, while the Faithful Númenóreans were present during the Last Alliance. Both had elves charging before they were given the command from the king (Gwindor and Oropher). Both battles were a last ditch effort to overthrow the Dark Lord, who had specific gripes with specific leaders on the other side (we don’t seem to talk about the price Morgoth put on Fingon’s head enough). Both had a massive loss of lives, resulting in permanent landforms because of all the bodies (Hill of Tears and the Dead Marshes). And both resulted in the fiery death of the High King of the Noldor, at the hand of the greatest foe on the battlefield (Fingon, bound and hewn by Gothmog, and Gil-galad burned by Sauron’s hand). 

But they won the War of the Last Alliance. They lost so so much, but they won. Yes, Sauron rises to power again, but they establish a peace that lasts a long while. Sauron’s influence and forces are driven from all lands, and it stays like that for a long time. Whereas the Nirnaeth Arnoediad was such a crushing defeat, obviously. So many people were lost, for nothing. Morgoth controlled almost all of Beleriand after the Nirnaeth. The remaining free people were scattered, broken and hopeless. 

I mean, just think, Fingon and Maedhros tried so desperately to create an alliance of all the free peoples in Beleriand to defeat the Dark Lord, and they failed miserably. But their sons/descendants (Gil-galad, Elrond, Elendil) tried to do the exact same thing and they were victorious. They won. They were able to do what their fathers were unable to do thousands of years later.

Weird old gwen character study i literally never finished

[llitchilitchi]

I saw that you had the bad endings on that list but what were any of the good endings going to be

there were two, depending on my own writing skill and the feedback I would get as the story progressed

the ideal second arc was going to follow the Dream Team, well, teaming up, and somewhat losing themselves to the power of the death and revive book, and George, being the king with a connection to the literal god of the realm, would push the whole thing further and further. a big happy family and a united server couldn't happen without bloodshed, could it? they've seen more peaceful attempts fail over and over, so all that was left was force.

the "good" ending would involve re-unification of the server, factions squashed and the Dream Team taking over. I didn't have much figured out to this, to be honest, but it was a Dream Team Together kind of ending, despite how dark and unpleasant the stuff around it might be. the server brought to ruin and rising from the ashes under the leadership of the Dream Team

the other good ending would be softer - an ending where they decide that this world is beyond saving, and they can start anew, together, the way this server started, and with all of Dream's knowledge from the revive book, they would leave the server and go to The End. the last panel would be them jumping into the End portal together, holding hands.
