#naruto could talk down a gunman in 15 minutes just by chattering about sasuke

Hiiiii it’s nosy time for me so: 4, 7 and 9!!!!

!! hi nosy! :D

4. were the romantic undertones between sasuke and naruto accidental or on purpose

i don’t feel like i know enough about the writer to be able to say buuuut speculatively… it kinda seems like they’re written gay by someone who doesn’t know he can be gay. like the fact that they apparently do get married to women but then their marriages are sad and unfulfilling (so i’ve heard) … and even in the og story that every other important thing in their lives is second to each other… idk. i do think kishimoto at least knows their bond is not brotherly.

7. i’m not sure …. honestly i do rly like fics where naruto decides not to pursue the role for his own sake. but for the purposes of story/canon? i think he has to be hokage. i think that’s kind of what the story is. he can’t be strong enough to save the world unless he can save sasuke and vice versa: that’s what his journey is during shippuden. convincing people over and over of the purity and power of his love for sasuke.

obviously the political system in naruto is crazy fucked, but that aside, i think the plot is about proving his idealism is realistic and his promises aren’t false: his love can save sasuke and so his love can change the world.

9. naruto fandom words ur allergic to

hmmm i don’t really get into discourse that much and i’ve only been in the fandom for like a month so idk. but i hate when people are like “why was X behaving illogically” when it’s pretty clear their reasons are just grief and mental illness (see: almost every uchiha)

in fanfics i hate when they drastically change naruto or sasuke for no reason especially if it’s to make them “seem” more like a top or bottom. i also hate when one of them is given buckets of pity and sadness and the other ones trauma is totally ignored. or when one of them is made way more crazy and the other is normal. obviously details have to change for aus but i like when it’s balanced and both characters have a reasonable amount of angst and quirkiness

i hate when people think sasuke is into murder. he very openly does not like it and goes out of his way to help others. or when people say he doesn’t feel empathy/care about anything. it’s canon that he feels more intensely than most people and that’s why he’s the way he is. and i hate when people make naruto uncharismatic or overly dumb. he’s oblivious and a little annoying but his people skills are his best superpower.
