I need to share with you guys this brilliant part from a fic I'm reading, remember how Kakashi was one of the very few adults who were never affected by Sexy Jutsu?? Well, check this explanation from the fic
That makes so much sense isn't it 🤯 Icha Icha made him immune to Sexy Jutsu, lol Anyway, if anyone is interested in reading this fic, it's You Quiet My Demons by tabjoy13 an ongoing Kakamei fic Which I highly recommend if you want to read a romantic Kakashi fic, it's really good and both Kakashi and Mei are so in character, I'm enjoying it so much so far.

Been obsessed with the 5 Kage vs Madara lately and I'm loving the solidarity between Gaara and Mei.
Mei: "Welp, say your prayers, everyone, cause it looks like we're well and truly boned."
Tsunade and Onoki (in unison): "NO!!! I'M GIVING THIE BATTLE ALL I'VE GOT!"
A: "SHUT UP, MIZUKAGE!"
Gaara: ....
Gaara: ".... it's okay, Mizukage, I believe you."

i was looking at your naruto headcanons and they are amazing especially the ones about kirigakure!!! i was wondering if you'll have somes about gender dynamics and expectations in kiri. just asking... also i found out you do art as well...NICEEEEEEEE (im canonsinthehead btw...)
Hii! I'm happy to hear you enjoy my ramblings about Kiri and my art!! Makes me feel like I'm not just screaming into the void.
cn: mentions of colorism, sexism and queerphobia
Gender Expectations in Kirigakure
The role of women in Kirigakure
Generally speaking, it used to be rather uncommon for women to become kunoichi. One of the women who did was Ameyuri Ringo, who quickly became an idol to many young girls in her time. The idea of a woman swordsman was ridiculous - yet she fought her way up to the top. The shinobi affilitation was a very men-oriented field and those women who did became fully fledged shinobi were battle hardened and didn't take shit from anyone.
However, it was very common for women to be part of the workforce, since many citizens are on the poorer side, women from higher ranked families being the exception. The most common jobs taken on by women used to be rice and fruit farmers, seamstresses or business (co-)owners.
This has changed, however, once the fifth mizukage, Mei Terumi, rose to power. She encouraged young women and girls to fight for their dreams and become shinobi as well.
Women of the middle and higher classes are expected to take care of themselves, look pretty and be gracious, elegant and soft-spoken. Arranged marriages were nothing uncommon, often leaving the women with no choice in the matter.
Men's role in Kirigakure
Men are expected to be hard workers, providers for the family, but the image of the ideal man does differ from other cultures. Men in Kirigakure are rather comfortable in their femininity and it is not uncommon for men to wear makeup, do skincare and sleep with silken bonnets to take care of their hair. This often leads to Kiri men being seen as effeminate or flamboyant.
The exception to this are Kiri fishermen and sailors, who have adopted a more 'westernized' view of masculinity. Often foul mouthed and abrasive, they have formed their own subculture of 'new masculinity'.
Gender outside of woman and man
It is not uncommon for youngsters and teens in Kirigakure to reject the idea of being either a woman or a man, however it does lead to scrutiny and condemnation of Kirigakure's older population. People assigned female at birth are more often scruitinized than people assigned male at birth.
The beauty ideals in Kirigakure
Fair, pale skin
Fair skin is seen as a sign of wealth and beauty in Kirigakure and a very desirable trait to many people. Skin bleaching creams are widely available and there are many problems with colorism in Kirigakure.
Long, luscious hair
Another sign of wealth, long, open hair is seen as the beauty ideal because it means not having to work a tedious job where long hair would be seen as tedious.
Brown eyes
In a country where people with kekkei genkai were frequently hunted down and killed, it is to be expected that anyone with a rare or unnatural eye color would automatically be seen as a freak, leading to brown eyes being the beauty ideal in Kirigakure.
A plump, well fed looking body
This is pretty much self explanatory, as more plump bodies are seen as a sign of being well fed and able to afford leisure time.
That's all, folks!

Obito Uchiha - Mizukage Era
--
(redrew an old drawing i had from my old blog and signed it with my new signature)
It's interesting how much Obito resembles Madara during this era. He resembles and plays his role quite well, and he was still a teenager too. It's just crazy to think that he was still a kid when he became a villain.

Chojuro x kurotsuchi
I have many sketches that are so random and cheesy, drawing them it's my guilty pleasure okay?
Also, I didn't add his regular uniform just because.

There have been several attempts on Mei’s life; I think. Constantly stamping down resurrectionists and whatnot. She took down the caste-system, so I imagine it was many who previously benefited who wanted to see her dead.
Terumi Mei, the Godaime Mizukage is many things, merciful, kind, intelligent, deemed the strongest in her village. None of these traits apply to those who endanger her home, and her people.
There are rumors of how Mei handles traitors, and none of them are pleasant.
