annoyed at the lack of fat bodies in rpgs once again, tbh. and all games, but like, it seems especially bizarre in games with highly customizable characters

[ID: A screenshot of a reblog with the blog's url and profile picture scribbled outin red that reads: "...conditionally and only if you never disagree with them? O.o"
the tags underrneath read: "#it never stops baffling me #how fandom turned these two into some idea of love #when the story is literall Naruto obsessign over Sasuke who is not interrsted #and then beating him almost to death because Sasuke doesn't think genocide is good pooitcal move actually #like FFS pls read more mangas people" End ID]
are you serious... if naruto only loved him conditionally why did he risk everything to save him, even when everyone else was set on killing him for being a traitor to konoha?
the guy threw his dignity away, in the eyes of everyone, to defend public enemy #1
he always called sasuke his friend, he never stated that he would only consider him a friend only if he returned as a konoha ninja.
loves him conditionally my ass.
and like- the idea that naruto can only love people that never disagree with him is so fundamentally against his character it's almost comical. if that were true naruto wouldve simply killed nagato. he wouldn't have tried to understand him or talk him out of it the way he did, once he heard his story. he wouldn't have tried talking to obito either. or even neji, konohamaru and inari, as small as those moments look in comparison.
the obsession part would make more sense, given how much he thought about him and wanted him back, to the point even his friends and the girl who was in love with sasuke thought it was too much.
yet the part about naruto beating sasuke up is... weird. they do realize naruto was fighting him because sasukes idea of a revolution meant to martyr himself for the sake of peace, the way his brother did, right?
they do realize that sasuke wanted to kill him at that point too, right? that it wasn't naruto beating a defenseless sasuke, right?
if anything, naruto was leaning on the defensive side and sasuke was the one trying to beat him up. but the were pretty fucking tied in terms of power. thats why he came close to killing sasuke (and viceversa. stop treating sasuke like a weakling.)
now, that doenst mean naruto is completely in the right to simply undermine or ignore konohas wrongdoing just because it only fuels the cycle of violence. naruto himself is victim of konohas shit system, and he has acknowledged many of the problems it caused. he promised to nagato that hed help amegakure when he became hokage.
of course you could argue that narutos methods may not be as effective for change as sasukes more aggressive plan, since systemic change is rarely if ever achievable by working within it. but im not that good with politics so i dont think im the best to talk about it, and that already goes beyond the topic here.
sasukes violent reaction to konohas mistreatment of the uchiha was completely understandable and anyone in his place wouldve don the same. lets make that clear here. i think saying he was highly justified is not a controversial take, at least here. konoha and the shinobi system ARE fucked up.
also, love that 'sasuke is not interested' bit. op, why did sasuke want to kill naruto? tell me.
me when im not interested:
so yeah i think that's a pretty inaccurate take on sasukes feelings towards naruto.

Was just thinking delightedly about how Edvard Munch's The Scream (1893) is an emoji now 😱😱😱 and so I went to check the wiki article about the painting and found THIS my new favorite quote about Warhol
"In 1983–1984, pop artist Andy Warhol made a series of silk screen prints copying works by Munch, including The Scream. His stated intention was to desacralize the painting by making it into a mass-reproducible object. Munch had already begun that process, however, by making a lithograph of the work for reproduction."
Beautiful. Utterly encapsulates his complete irrelevance. I'm in love

whats your feelings on the homestuck/dtwof drama?
i am a grown adult who uses critical thinking skills in the handling of media. i can acknowledge and make reference to flawed and offensive elements in works i read and engage with and as long as i acknowledge their presence, and how they can affect the reader and narrative as a whole i don't think i'm being fandom brained or whatever.
i've always been in the camp that if you are to criticise homestuck, looking at the racist tropes and aspects hussie inserted is the best point, as it is very distressing and hard to ignore. and i don't think that people not ignoring when it comes to discussing homestuck it is somehow worse or more weird or embarassing?
hussie and bechdal seem like shitheads, hussie for being a somethingawful poisoned forum troll and bechdal for being a michfest loving transmisogyny wielder who has never been held accountable. but ultimately, all this stems from is, as has been said by @plaidos is an internet slapfight over a tumblr poll.
