Do you think Shisui would teach a mini Sasuke how to cuss

Shisui teaches Sasuke using cuss words.

Sasuke accidentally uses it in front of their parents.

Itachi spends days convincing their father Sasuke is a good boy and is spending his time with good company and not some mischievous kids.

Then Itachi goes after Shisui with the murderous intent.

Oh, and then Shisui goes into hiding. It's been nearly a month since he's been seen. He's totally not scared of Itachi.

[theheirofthesharingan]

He was there when Shisui killed himself. He'd been holding it all together. The loss, the grief, the hopelessness, the hurt. Because so much was at stake and he couldn't express how devastated he was. But here, he's trying to hide multitude of emotions, because everything is at stake right now too. And he was just a baby, not even 12 years old. Then he's accused of the murder he did not even commit. Like. Does it ever get better? :/

What do you think of the pro-Uchiha blogs and these characters of the Uchiha clan: Hikari Uchiha, Naori Uchiha, Izumi Uchiha and Sarada Uchiha?

Almost every single pro Uchiha blog is anti Itachi as well, and full of fandom activism nonsense and unreasonable hate for every non-Uchiha character. Either I am blocked by them or have blocked them. So, I don't have much opinion other than this to offer. And I want to keep it this way, because some of them have a history of harassing other fans.

As to the characters, again, I am not into them. Except for Sarada, the others don't do much. Hikari isn't a canon character? She only appears in the game, I think. Naori is cool, I think. And Izumi is okay too. I used to like her when I read the novels but her character isn't interesting enough, and I have to forgotten most of the things about her.

Your thoughts and insight on Itachi is something I appreciate so much. Ive been judged by others so much for saying how much I love Itachi’s character, how much I defend him and ppl have the audacity to tell me that he’s an abuser, so seeing all your thoughts and feelings and analysis in my favorite character makes me so happy, thank you so much for all that you do.

Every time I see Itachi fans' experiences with his haters, it's almost always how they were personally attacked for loving him. Judged/bullied/harassed seems to be the common experience of the fans with his haters.

Every single time people talk about Itachi's actions and label him abusive, there's a lot of context missing, ignored and distorted to fit their notion of morality. Sure, his actions towards Sasuke are objectively abusive, but he's not deriving any pleasure from them. He isn't even defending himself, even if he thought he needed to do that at the time he did.

There's a lot of violence other characters indulge themselves in as well. Naruto and Sasuke were at each other's throats even if they could have talked, rather breaking the bones or killing the other. But no. Sasuke nearly kills Karin and then asks Sakura to kill her rather than heal her. We're never talking about these things or at least we're supposed to keep the context in mind.

But we're not meant to do that with Itachi. Even though Itachi made his decisions under extreme pressure and fear that one single step could kickstart a chain of events no one was ready to face, let alone overcome yet.

Itachi is flawed. He did horrible things. He was the only one who showed regrets without having to be told he was wrong. He could have done things differently but he'd have to be a different person with different experiences, and maybe a little bit of less trauma to do that.

How much do you love Itachi? 🥰

Enough to not kill myself because if I'm not here, then who will defend this loser.

See? I have to love him enough to stay. We both can't be dead at the same time. Sighs.

How do you feel about every popular Itachi ship?

I really am not a fan of the ships, but it's more due to the fact that I don't think every deep bonding has to romanticized/sexualised than the problem with the ships themselves. But either way, they leave a sour taste in my mouth.

Itasasu is probably Itachi's most popular ship, and again, they're brothers. They loved each other, but it didn't mean that love had to be something else. I just don't think any bond as deep as theirs has to be seen more than it is.

Shiita is nice, but again, I like to think Itachi and Shisui were friends, because to me platonic relationships feel much more genuine compared to the romantic ones. Though from the shipping POV, it's the only one I like.

Kisaita is good too, but Itachi met Kisame when he was a kid/teen, and Kisame was the only adult in Itachi's life who didn't see him as an object. And I like to think he respected Itachi enough to not take advantage of the fact. Shipping them takes away that innocence for me. Though, again, many people ship them when they're adult, but there's still a very awkward reason I can't say right now. Oof.

Kakaita, I like the idea of it, but it's very devoid of feelings in all ways. They don't care about each other in canon. So the ship is just meaningless to me.

Itasaku. It's a ship where people self-interest themselves in her place to ship with Itachi. Otherwise the ship has no charm, Sakura has no charm, and Itachi ignored her existence throughout the story.

He was Itachi's life.

"New light" say that like sasuke hasn't been your light since he was born

Watching people talk about Itachi Shinden novels and still getting him and his story wrong is mortifying. The novels give the front view of his tragedy, things that precede the massacre — the grooming, the isolation, the loneliness, the manipulation — keeping the focus on Itachi, along with Konoha's corruption, Itachi's acknowledgement of it, and talk about the child mercilessly used by the politics and shortsightedness of the adults around him. Yet. And yet, you'll have people bastardizing everything because to them, flawed can only mean equivalent to evil or having an underlying evil streak, because he had to have it in him, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to the massacre. It's like seeing and ignoring things selectively. Believing and not believing the story selectively.

@brave-blake-belladonna sorry for tagging you here like this, but I just wanted to say that you probably saved my life with this small comment.

WIP - I have no idea what else to draw. Here’s a really messy sketch of baby Itachi and Sasuke

Also I started reading the light novels— Itachi’s story currently— and they’re so good 💔

Edit: there is a 99% chance this will never be finished

This is it.

Because of my newfound obsession with Itachi I had this idea I just wanted to post about

I find it so interesting how Itachi is drawn throughout the story, especially in flashbacks. He is often drawn much older than he actually is. Less so in pre-genin Itachi flashbacks but moreso in the couple of years leading up to the Uchiha clan massacre. He’s always drawn so much older than he is

In scenes like this he’s supposed to be eleven. And okay, the lines on his face definitely don’t help, but honestly I’m not totally against it. Im not home so i can’t pull up the direct quote but when Itachi meets in Daylight Danzo he says something along the lines of “The lines on your face mark a dark path for your future” (definitely not close to the wording but the point still stands). To me instances like that tell me that because of Itachi’s misery, and not really having a childhood he’s supposed to look more mature, more tired, decades of experience for most collected by the time he’s only nine years old. ESPECIALLY on the night of the Uchiha massacre

He doesn’t look like, super grown up, but he definitely looks older than thirteen.

I have this idea that we’re since also seeing Itachi from Sasuke’s perspective most of the time, we see him to appear older because of the distorted perception and perspective of children. I remember being a kid and thinking older kids looked so adult and mature, and I think there’s an air of tragedy in that. Further enhanced by how Sasuke sees Itachi as what he strives to be when he’s a kid, his older brother, his idol.

Idk just yapping ignore me

The fact that people don't think friendship is enough to justify characters doing insane acts of love for each other baffles me. Like have you never loved your friend so so much you want to live in their ribcage. Have you never been really weird about a friend. Have you never wanted to bite your friends parents or shove them down a staircase. Have you never wanted to be buried in the same grave as a friend. Have u never. How do u people live like this.
