#i dont think i made a single coherent point here but theyre my thoughts nonetheless

also not that anyone asked (or cares) but I want to make clear that while I do ship tsunade and jiraiya, I also wholeheartedly ship tsunade and dan. idk why a lot of people treat these two ships as one or the another and hate the other side rather than like both being something that can occur together. my main reasoning for this is I simply don't subscribe to the whole "one and only love forever and ever and can never move on" notion that Kishi himself loves so much. I like to think tsunade, while still holding a place for dan in her heart till she dies, would've ultimately been able to move on romantically from him. but not necessarily want to go out of her way to find someone else. and then comes jiraiya who after many years apart they begin to repair their relationship. and he's the only person left around that knows her deeply. and I don't see why she couldn't have started to develop feelings for him, just ones she wouldn't admit to. and I think many people like to think it's cause of the love she holds for dan she doesn't want to explore those feelings. and that's true to an extent imo. but more importantly it's cause she genuinely believes her love is cursed. and also that loving someone again would risk her losing someone close to her again. but anyway I like to think she did start falling for him in the end, whether she admits it to herself or not, but this does NOT mean she suddenly is completely over dan and don't love him anymore. I think grief and mourning is complicated and it's simply not true her loving someone new would mean she no longer loved him. they didn't break up after all, he died, it's so different. idk, to me I just don't think it's unrealistic for her to love someone new, while still knowing dan was who her heart really truly belonged to. so tldr I like jiratsu but I also love dantsuna and I'm sick of people pretending both ships can't coexist I guess.

#fuck idk where the hell i was going with this #this was meant to be a short post lol #then it became a stream of consciousness #i dont think i made a single coherent point here but theyre my thoughts nonetheless #also i use the panel in which tsunade says when jiraiya comes back she wont let him keep his cool anymore as canon proof #that she was starting to like him #but that's a separate post entirely #i will make a post one day analysing canon about them but not today #anyway yeah i love both ships i dont like that its treated like one or the other #its not a rivlarly its not a competition #tsunade deserves love is the bottom line for me #rambling #nart #tsunade #jiraiya #dan kato #jiratsu #dantsu #meta #hc #kinda #analysis #?
