#Kakashi has a massive one-sided crush on Obito thinking he’s dead too and Yamato hates himself for being in love with Kakashi

hi which are your fav naruto characters and ships ?? if you don’t mind me asking 🥺💖

I don’t mind! I just don’t have a good answer and also don’t check my box that often because nobody ever asks. (Sorry about that. I hope I didn’t keep you waiting long.)

So uh. I write a lot of multiship, a lot of one-side-sideds, and very little het and uh... apparently missed the boat on all the popular Naruto pairings after starting it fifteen years late to begin with.

Things I’ve written and may or may not be sitting on: KakaGai, Kankukiba, GaaLee, and at one point, poly team Gai (NejiLeeTen), also technically Sakumo and Dai but it was like. A strange circumstance and maybe like. A reincarnation type thing from a certain point of view so. And there’s usually background NejiTen because it tends to fit neatly with the GaaLee, but with like. Sloppy emotions and protectiveness and Team Gai bonding.

Things I may write in the future: Oh man who knows let’s just have fun with this crazy shit, eh?

I read a lot more different kinds of things than what I write if that’s maybe another nuance of the question.

I’m also still in the process of watching, so, you know. Things could escalate in any direction at any time. (That’s maybe not very helpful aah.)

Sometimes these things just show up in the background and sometimes not. If you have a NOTP you want me to tag it’s probably just easier to slip it to me on anon or slide into my DMs and I’ll do my best to point it out if it comes up so you can read safely. (I mean. I have an entire tag for angst and I’m an angst writer so. It’s not going to be a problem.)

I can promise for sure you’ll never see teachers shipped with their students though coming from me. That seems to be a big one. Not talking about whether or not it’s moral, just... moral talks aside, it’s not my kind of thing?

Also, while I’m up here, not knowing how old you are, if you’re under eighteen please don’t read my E fics in any fandom? Not until you’re old enough, please. Or at the absolute absolute least do not tell me.

I’m not interested in policing people for their content consumption, especially considering what a squeamish adult I am but like. It would put me in a really gross position. Self regulate but also try and look out for the adults in your life who are trying to live responsibly, despite a past spent lying about their age, please?

I’ve sat on whole fics or excursions into fandoms because the fan base seems young or the concept gets too weird, honestly.

It won’t stop me from making the shit, but it basically ensures I’ll pass it under the table in google docs to only a handful of trusted and precious friends and you probably won’t be one of those if you’re hitting me up on Anon because most of the people who get hit up for sensitivity reads or thoughts are people I’ve known for years and talk with with a clear name and maybe even face on. ^^;;;

Also, please ask me for anything you need safety tagged so I can help you self-regulate, whatever your age or preferences, okay? I’m not so good at predictive stuff and sometimes end up in really odd directions trying to handle it about as safely as I can. I don’t always get it right and I know that, but I will constantly try to do better when it comes to making it easier for other people to regulate their content and what they can handle.

My anons are always open if you want that narrowed down any or have more specific ship questions! And so are my DMs. We don’t have to have spoken before for either of those to be open to you.

#skuun answers #this ask made me sweat because I’m kind of scared I’ll forget to tag something properly and hit someone’s NOTP #for simplicity’s sake I’m not writing down the one-sideds because everyone has a crush on Naruto #Gaara’s in particular is fucking tragic and Sasuke wouod rather all of them die than admit it #Kakashi has a massive one-sided crush on Obito thinking he’s dead too and Yamato hates himself for being in love with Kakashi #I like things messy. because you end uo feeling a lot of things and sometimes nothing comes of it? so few people write that. #i uh. also unironically like InoSai on that understanding #like. as a pairing where Sai knows he won’t be Sakura to Ino and Ino knows she won’t be Naruto to him. but they’re happy still? #Gai loves Kakashi no matter what happens and that’s sweet. #there’s vibes where both Lee and Naruto respect one another but both have no clue how they come off and thst cracks me up too... #I dunno. just assume everything’s messy and I never erase the thing where people crush on Sakura. #so Lee’s feelings and Naruto’s will be handled as real and not glossed over like ‘oh but I was really gay’ #that kind of peeves me a little with some of the fics written in earlier eras. that pressure to gloss over your past self or call it invalid #seriously though hit me up if you want safety tags for things. sometimes tumblr eats them on me but like. please let me know #at the very least I could add background pair warnings on AO3. #because I write a LOT of background pairs but always hate when I ship one and they’re tagged under a main pairing in a new fic #you know? that thing where they show up for two lines and the rest is a main het pairing? #such is the life of a rarepair and unrequiteds specialist and well. i try to be conscientious of that.
