I don’t think we take enough time to appreciate the periods in our life when our noses aren’t runny. Is your nose runny right now? No? Think about that. Honestly reflect on it. Enjoy this era of peace. There are dark times on the horizon

Then consider the teachers working in under-priveledged districts, and all of the struggles those kids bring in from home. Those teachers are even more tough.

I never really found Seth Myers sexy… until now!

I’m a die hard SasuSaku fan and I actually really appreciate Sakura trying to stab Sasuke in the back and Sasuke trying to chidori her. And I’m serious.

I’m not even going to talk about Sakura’s amazing development because this moment was the ultimate proof of that. It was Sakura choosing her loyalty to the village and her friends over a boy she once would have followed everywhere.

Because Sakura knew Naruto needed to live in order to achieve great things. And she knew he would never forgive himself for killing his best friend. But she didn’t want to live in a world without Sasuke either way so she chose to take this responsibility from her best friend’s hands and go down with the only boy she ever loved.

I bet it seemed fair to her.

And yet, even if she tried, really tried, she couldn’t go through it. Because damn, she still loved that boy with her whole being and deep down she wasn’t giving up on him. Not then, not ever.

And it always crushes my heart how when Sasuke was about to deliver the final blow, she didn’t try to protect herself. She didn’t even make a sound. And I think it’s because she believed she deserved that. Because it wasn’t Sasuke who betrayed her. She did it to him first.

Didn’t she promise to love him forever?

And if there’s a climax to that story, I believe this is one. It’s Sasuke learning the truth about Itachi and Uchiha Massacre, and slowly descending into madness. Because sooner or later it had to happen. That was the only way he could finally recover and find his peace in the end.

And what was Kishimoto’s way of showing us how low he had fallen? That his sanity was slipping away? It was Sasuke trying to hurt one person he always protected, one person he never wanted to hurt. Sakura.

Because Sasuke in his right mind would have never attacked her. The need to protect Sakura lies at the very core of his being and that’s something we witnessed many times in the manga, both before and after the Land of Iron incident.

Yes, I love this moment because contrary to popular belief it didn’t mean that SasuSaku was dead. It proved they were still very much alive.

pop culture intertextuality is just so damn *fascinating*

today a parody movie (50 shades of black) comes out, based on the 50 shades of grey movie, which was based on the 50 shades book, which was based on twilight, which was somewhat based on interview with the vampire (which anne rice based on an earlier short story she wrote), which was based on Dracula and other vampire stories, which originally came from Dr. John Polidori’s The Vampyre (even though Vampires were a thing in folk tales before then, he was the one who made them all classy, etc.)

so really, like so many things, this is all Lord Byron’s fault.

I’d like to think Sakura’s first birthday on their travels might have gone something like this:

It hasn’t been too long since they’ve started their travels—maybe a few months or so. The day before, they’d arrived in some moderately sized village whose name isn’t important to remember, and decided to stay there for a while; to take rest, stock up, explore, and help around.

Sakura wakes in the morning a little later than usual, which surprises her, since she remembers asking Sasuke to wake her up when he wanted to leave to buy some food. She gets out of bed, changes into day clothes, and makes her way to the kitchen only to find Sasuke there, setting up breakfast on the table, apparently just done cooking.

“Sasuke-kun,” Sakura greets, a bit startled. “Good morning.”

Sasuke only nods. “Morning. I made breakfast.”

Though not exactly a rare occurrence, this still makes her smile—because she’s quite sure she knows the reasoning behind this.

“So you did.” She pauses, and smiles wider, an edge of teasing to it. “And you let me sleep in, too. Didn’t I ask you to wake me?”

Taking a seat at the table, Sasuke merely shrugs like it is nothing, but the way he avoids her gaze makes her think maybe he’s a bit embarrassed.

“There wasn’t much that we needed to buy, so I figured I might just go alone.”

Sakura simply hums at this, but there’s that knowing look in her eyes, and she thinks Sasuke sees it when he fleetingly glances at her. But, she says nothing, only murmurs an affectionate thanks and sits to eat her own breakfast (one she remembers telling Sasuke she quite favored, not too long ago).

But his particular behavior doesn’t end there. They head off in town afterwards, and he accompanies her every step of the way, even when she heads out to shop for herself. At some point, she tries to tell him that he doesn’t need to feel like he needs to stay, that he can go to the stores he likes instead of tailing behind her into ones she knows he’s not interested in. But Sasuke stays, and he never complains, prompting another knowing smile to her lips. He even pays for her lunch when they head out to eat, later.

Then, he takes her to the Hanami festival. At this point, Sakura doesn’t question him anymore; she knows with certainty why he’s acting so especially nice. They stay there for hours, visiting food stands and trying out game platforms (well—Sakura did), watching the pretty pink trees blooming in full; and though it is crowded, with girls trying to pester him after his good looks, Sasuke never scowls, never looks surly. It ends up making one of the very best birthdays of her life.

When they retreat from the festival, they take the long way back to the inn. Sakura has an armful of prizes she’s won for herself, and in her free hand, she holds a stick of syrup coated dango (which he paid for, again), chewing on it thoughtfully. She’s happier than she’s been in a long while, and in the moment, she thinks it can’t really get better than this.

But Sasuke proves her wrong as they stop by a small wooden bridge overlooking a river surrounded by beautiful cherry blossom trees, pretty pink petals fluttering in the wind, as he says, “I do have a gift for you, you know.”

Sakura’s green, green eyes turn towards him and widen, and she swallows her bite of food with a blooming blush. “You do?”

Sasuke nods almost imperceptibly, and she thinks she sees him swallow, but she can’t be too sure.

She opens her mouth to ask what he’s gotten her, before he suddenly leans down and presses his mouth to hers with achingly gentle pressure, lone hand gripping her shoulder to anchor her in place.

He pulls away before she can fully realize what’s happened, but doesn’t put much space back between them, the ghost of a smile tugging at his lips. His eyes soften when she reaches to touch her lips with her free hand (which has dropped the dango she’d been holding, she now realizes).

The tug of his lips becomes more insistent, and he taps her forehead with two fingers—the gesture heavy with affection. “Happy birthday, Sakura,” he says.

.

“S-Sasuke-kun! You made me drop my dango!”

“…I’ll get you a new one.”

.

Who am I kidding this is too fluffy to have really happened….

Every time I see any kind of gender reveal cake/event I am reminded of my college roommate stating that when she has kids the color is going to be some obscure color like green or gray and when all her relatives act confused she is going to lecture them on the problems with assuming and forcing gender stereotypes.

the cis are getting out of hand
