i think. like. making headcanons is rly cool (blows a kiss 2 the sky for butch mark winters) and yeah i joke abt my hcs being canon but like. actually believing that your headcanons 100% should be canon to the point where you get upset if people make hcs that contradict yours and you can't watch/read the canon material bc it contradicts your hcs is. kind of a problem. hcs are meant to be fun lil things that have no actual bearing on canon and u shouldn't have an aneurysm abt whats canon and whats not. u know.

Lahabrea possessed Thancred before this questline even started which means these are back to back Laha interactions. Here is how he greets the WoL in the Waking Sands immediately after his Disney villain introduction.

Meanwhile in Minfilia's solar:

presumably he took a brief break from running Alphinaud's errands to go dramatically laugh at the WoL

Mr. Yang is indeed the absolute love of my life. The man I wish would just talk to me as he chaperoned my adventures. Please. I love him so much. I just..... wanna listen to him talk about whatever.

(and I genuinely love how the MC texts him like "what is this" and I do have a silly idea involving that but.... the fact even in canon your character looks at him and goes 'that's a very smart man whom I trust with my life despite him literally knocking me out! I'll just text him!')

Oh and for the record Philip being a cringefail loser is artistic genius. Because it reflects the reality of bigots. You have to find a way to ignore or rationalize the suffering of the Other in order to remain bigoted-- and therefore bigotry denies a full understanding of certain aspects of the world in favor of maintaining a flawed and illogical value system. Thus Philip will always underestimate witches, was incredibly slow to understand magic, and the Day of Unity was an objectively ridiculous plan that would have screwed him over and failed to destroy the Boiling Isles, even if it had worked. He holds a selective view of the world where he only sees things in a way that confirms witches are fundamentally evil. But in viewing the world that way, he also ignores a great number of blatant truths and alternative solutions to his problems, and constantly blindly creates new problems for himself along the way. But as long as he keeps his witch-hating goggles on, he hasn't done anything wrong, and he's destined to succeed. So it's much easier not to question it that than it would be to even consider reckoning with his actions.

Do you have any favorite naruto fics you’d recommend? Any pairing, complete or not, on-hiatus, gen, oneshots, anything is fine lol

I was legitimately just pruning my bookmarks the other day!! thank you so much for asking.

I don't read too much fanfic these days, and I'm picky when I do--only about grammar/punctuation and immersion though. I ship a LOT of stuff (I guess The Youth would call me a proshipper) and although I never read darkfic, I don't shy away from weirder kinks and unhealthy relationship stuff.

categorizing by pairing, if applicable. some of them are smutty, and please note that the first 3 come from FFN which doesn't have a tagging system, but there is some SA CW I'll give in advance.

KAKASAKU | my first OTP! formative fics that totally reshaped my understanding of what fanfiction could be, and how well-written chemistry can make it or break it

HOUSE OF CROWS is the quintessential kakasaku fanfic. it was written during shippuden and so is canon divergent because of that, but also tells a comprehensive story of its own right that is intriguing and well planned. excellent characterization and world building. leaves me gutted in the best way on my yearly reread.

DUTY BEFORE HONOR is another silvershine classic. I don't reread is as often as House of Crows but they are just about equal in quality. again, the chemistry between them is off the charts, and the world feels so alive.

WILL OF FIRE for me is up there with House of Crows in being essential kakasaku reading. cynchick is a multisaku champion and a wonderful storyteller. the stakes in this one are stressful, the romance tense and believable, and we once again get lovely world building and great chemistry.

ITAKISA | a pairing near and dear to me, because men who do everything wrong are so deeply relatable. they both know they don't deserve anything good ever again but they found each other!!!! ARE YOU GUYS SEEING THIS--

A SHARK HIDDEN INN THE LEAVES doesn't have my favorite version of Kisame, but he's plenty close enough. it's a lengthy oneshot that got me into certain *ahem* kinks. it is a very fun and wild fic that is entirely self-aware of how absurd it's being, and manages to have nothing but sincerity at the same time (and I highly recommend the author's other stories as well)

AN ORCHESTRA PLAYING ON, INSANE is a modern AU (extremely rare in my bookmarks) that absolutely tore my heart out. god is it SO much to ask for these losers to be happy?! yes, it is, and I love every moment of it

MADAMITO | a rarepair I am SUCH a sucker for that has some of the most talented authors writing for it. lots of them have ot3 elements between them and hashirama, often angsty, but stuff like that is part of the appeal for me, lol

A HANDFUL OF SKY is an unfinished fic that I genuinely think about like once a week. if it ever updates then I will be over the moon. technically hashimadamito but it hadn't quite gotten there yet

LIKE ALTARS is just such a beautiful piece of writing, mostly on madara. it is everything, that is all

BLOOD AND RIVER WATER is more mito-centric but has one of my favorite madaras of all time

YOURS ARE RATTLED BONES is another short, mito-centric but gut-wrenching piece featuring the opposite type of madara from the last one

OTHER | character-centric stuff that isn't necessarily shippy but also doesn't have a very "gen" vibe either?

A SERPENT IN THE RICE is a little series about orochimaru that makes me feel so so so many things. highly recommended

HERETIC is such a love letter to kushina, and kurama too. cannot stress enough how much I adore this one

there's a few others that I probably won't link on tumblr, mostly unhealthy and/or "problematic" smut hhfhdj but maybe I'll make a public rec list on ao3 for these different categories and stuff like that.

but yeah that's pretty much it!!! I know it's not a huge list with a lot of variety but it's what I've enjoyed over the last 15+ years in the naruto fandom.

random drawing idea: zimbits as animal crossing villagers 🥰 ( “random” — as if i don’t think about it way too often )

ok this is adorable and exactly what I needed

I’ve never drawn animal crossing characters but I tried!!

(also thank you for the drawing idea!)

[ssspringroll]

new kid started at work today (for those keeping track this is the kid we interviewed a few weeks back who afterwards i realized was following my shop insta but i don’t post about my job on there so they probably don’t realize it’s me) and my coworker and i switched off half the day training so i went up and was like “ok so what did you talk about with [coworker]? :) any questions so far?” and they were like extremely silent and non-responsive to the extent where after i gave them several seconds of quiet to think of something to say i just gave up and started a training task with them. hello?? im so sorry to this kid but unfortunately if you’re going to work a retail position you have to speak to people!!
