Thinking about chapter #353, just a little before Sasuke vs Itachi happens, and how Itachi acts. It might not be anything special, but I do find it sad.
Kisame fought Rōshi and took him down. And after Itachi goes "You need to handle the elderly with care" Kisame kind of mocks him.
Tumblr media
Was he being genuine and was the remark because Itachi allowed himself to be a little bit himself in Kisame's presence? Other than just participating in the Akatsuki's extracting the tailed beasts from their jinchuriki rituals Itachi isn't shown to do much for them. He isn't evil. He does feel empathy. But knowing him, he could be sarcastic as well. But it doesn't look like he's being sarcastic because he has no purpose of doing so.
Anyway.
Tumblr media
They leave and walk for a little bit.
Tumblr media
Then Kisame says he's a little tired. It's probably a general statement because he's talking about the hunts over all. But Kisame and Itachi haven't really done anything else other than capturing the Four Tails. Still, they take a break from walking.
Tumblr media
Kisame's holding a dying man on his shoulders after battling him and complaining about how hard it was to defeat him. And he still stands. Guess who needs to sit down because the boy is so tired?
Tumblr media
Him. (so pretty though).
Did Kisame stop because he himself was tired or did he just take a break because it's very close to Itachi's death, and he wouldn't be in a good condition right now. Who knew how much medicines he took so he could stand and accompany Kisame on their mission? Kisame offered to fight Rōshi because Itachi was already so weak and close to dying. He wouldn't have survived the battle against a jinchuriki and he needed to "preserve" himself to die at his brother's hands.
When we see him looking calm on the surface there's so much going on inside of him. The way he talks Kisame out of capturing Naruto or even thinking about it because he's hoping that day would never come. He learns about Sasuke killing Orochimaru after this. Did he ever panic that he couldn't really do it anymore and he literally prayed to some gods that Sasuke came and killed him because pain was too intense at times? What did he really look like when he was weak, vulnerable, and human? How did he ever hide all this from Kisame because I don't think Kisame ever knew what the whole deal with Itachi was. I need answers.

Have you ever noticed how people will always judge you because you don't like the same thing as them? If you like ships A, B and C and they like K, L and M and don't agree or like the same things as you, you will be treated like the most disgusting human being in the world (I'm talking about canon ships and headships (I don't even know if I can call it that), not including incest and things like that)... People make it seem super difficult to respect other people's tastes.
I mean, you may not accept what someone likes and that's okay, no one is forcing you to do anything. But before anything comes respect, for both sides. And also, does someone saying bad things about something you like change your feelings about it? If the answer is "no", why would you care if someone likes it or not?
An example: I don't like a specific couple, but there are people who do. Is this my problem? No. Just like the fact that I don't like it is nobody's problem. If you don't like a specific couple, you are a horrible human being. The same goes for if you don't like a specific character. I mean, are you really so complexed that you don't accept opinions other than your own? Your truth is yours alone and maybe you can even find someone who agrees 100% with your truth, but normally people agree 90, 80, 70, 60% with your truth and that's okay.
If you don't agree with a homosexual ship that isn't canon, you're homophobic... Like, guys, really... Some people just don't think it looks good or fits. If you think so, I respect it, whether you like it or not is not my problem and vice versa. Of course there are exceptions, maybe some people who don't like it are actually homophobic... But saying that everyone who doesn't like or agree is homophobic is a bit extreme, isn't it? Sometimes it just doesn't look good aesthetically, the characters may not match aesthetically... It's not about there being two men and two women, it's just because it doesn't look good. And to other people it will look good and that's okay, that's not my problem.
And many people like this want (and sometimes even demand) respect for their own tastes/characters/books/series/animes/whatever but they don't know how to respect other people's tastes. I mean, what world are you living in??
I have a friend who makes a big deal out of someone talking about her favorite character in a game, like, so what if the person is saying that? Will this change what you think or feel about the character?
There is a guy in my country who is very famous and he read a book and posted that he didn't like it very much and everything, most of the people who read it judged him, as if he didn't have the right to dislike something (He always posts book recommendations and such, to encourage his community to read).
It's as if people no longer have the right to disagree and everything has to be cute and perfect and no one can ever disagree with anyone about anything. It's so boring.
⚠️This question has no intention of judging, belittling or offending anyone who likes the subjects mentioned. I brought up situations that happen daily⚠️
Absolutely. People are just weird with so much time and energy that they can't focus on the things in their lives, doing something about the things they like. Instead they want others to adhere to the rules they made in their heads.
If, and only if, people stopped taking fiction so seriously, and actually did something productive, that would great. And it's not about not doing anything fun in the fandom, but that when something upsets you so much that you can't take different opinions from your own it's better to leave. Even if people do take fiction seriously, media literacy is still dead in probably all the fandoms. It's just the cacophony of loud screeching noises where "moderate" fans lose their interest.
The world won't abide by their rules and it's not meant to. Liking and not liking something are two different things and people can accept it and move on. Disagreeing with someone doesn't mean you have to hate them and put them down every time. One can disagree on some things and agree on the others. It's not that deep.
It's more prevent on the internet because people can say shitty things and not face any consequences.
I so agree on the homophobic part because I've been told the same when I said Tolkien didn't mean Frodo and Sam's relationship to be romantic/sexual since he was writing from his own experiences in war and how men interacted with each other. I read accounts of men who said Tolkien's depiction of Frodo and Sam's relationship resonated with their own struggles during their time in Vietnam.
It's just so easy to put labels on the strangers on the internet because they don't agree with you. It's okay you like a ship and you love the content and the fan arts and all. Good for you. I don't have to agree with it.
It would be so much better if people just realized the world doesn't revolve around them and their opinions. The entitled ones make everything look bad. Everything just seems too polarised. It's either excessive positive opinions even on the mediocre content or just negative opinions on the good ones.
As cliché as it sounds, a better way to deal with all of this is to not interact with people who do this. If they drain you or put you down for the content you like or do not like, it's better to get rid of them. I've had to deal people like that in the past and I learned the lesson. That's one of the reasons Naruto fandom has been quite tolerable so far.

honestly really sexy of tumblr to keep follower numbers private. how many people are following me? you'll never know unless I tell you. maybe it's a million, or a thousand, or five, or maybe it's just you. maybe you're the only one here, all by yourself, unable to see if there's anyone standing next to you.
and you'd never know, because status here is based on opinion and not numbers; how popular you think someone is is a vibes-only calculation, and besides the chronological algorithms-optional feed, it's genuinely the best thing tumblr's ever done.

Itachi: Did you like the food I made?
Sasuke: No, not really.
Itachi: I put my heart and soul into it.
Sasuke: No wonder it tasted so cold and dead.
