#naruto update:

[plumadesatada]

just remembered a fic on AO3 (or more likely LJ because it had that distinct late 00's experimental vibe) that appeared double-spaced oddly, in that some paragraphs would be spaced normally and others would have double or even triple spaces in between. it was about one half of the otp getting over the other's death (or coma, can't remember which), so all the comments were about how poignant the use of visual spacing was as a means to convey all the emotional holes in the character's life.

and then the author replied like... *giggle* guys it's NOT double spaced. try selecting the whole text

and we were all like "no WAY"

but we selected the text, and yes!!!

the "holes" in the story? they were actually lines and actions from the dead/coma character's ghost, rendered invisible to the eye by the simple trick of coloring the text the exact same as the background, revealed by nothing more than a click and a drag of the mouse

a story about the profound loneliness of losing your the partner of your life and having to make do without them, without anything to fill the holes they'd left behind, suddenly became a story about the profound helplessness of seeing someone you love suffer from your absence while you are right there, unable to do anything about it, unable to communicate that you love them enough to suffer unseen and unheard with them, just to keep them company they'll never know about

it was then that I truly realized how *superior* the digital medium is to plain printed paper, how the medium and the format can add to a story.

I think about that fic about once a year. I wish I could find it again

EDIT: FOUND IT!!!! UPDATE HERE

#probable fandoms for it (that I was in at that time): naruto Hikaru no go deathnote maybe? #definitely not Harry Potter or BBC merlin. I can't recall what else I was into back in 2008-2009 #God I miss those Fandom days. everyone was doing such NEAT things both coding and writing wise #fanfic #pretty sure it was LJ #UPDATE: IT WAS LJ AND THE FIC IS BBC SHERLOCK 🤮 #but still worth reading

Yall need to interact with fanfiction author's more.

So. After the ddos attack on ao3.

I was encouraged to write more comments and make my love known to fanfic writers.

I dont really like commenting. Because im a bit shy and soooo lazy.

Now though. I am writing more comments. And dude. This is so heartwarming. Ya'll need to treat writers better. They are doing the lord's work.

Take for an example, couple of days prior, i was searching for something interesting to read, and found an oneshot quite compelling.

I read it. At the end of it, i was blown away by how good it was. It promised me something and it went beyond my expectations. But then i saw a crime, zero fucking comments!

At that moment, i wasn't feeling up to writing a comment. Because, normally i like to write huge paragraphs. But because im lazy i decided to be brief.

Next day, the author answered that the comment lift their mood for the whole day.

That warmed my heart.

Duuuuuuuude! Write comments! Suport the writers of the fics you like! No need to be something super elaborate. Just give your thoughts. Freak out. Ramble. Ask something. Make theories. Compliment. Make a joke about how you wished to give kudos every chapter but ao3 sucks(not true bby) and won't let you.

Truly. Just. Comment. It can make someone's day. And that is part of the apeal of writing fics. Interacting with people.

Just give love to fanfic writers yall. They deserve this and so much more.

#fanfiction writer #fanfic #ao3 #ramble #it was a naruto fanfic #a narusasusaku fic #also had another thing #i commented on my fav fic that hasnt been updated for a while #i didnt pressured the author to write #because you dont fucking do that >:( #but #just freaked out and talked about how much i loved their writing and the fic #two days later they updated the fic #and then told me i inspired them to finish the chapter #and that's what you're supposed to do! #interact with the author #the fic! #no need to pressure them into writing! #sometimes just words of love and support is enough! #be nice to your writers! #or im gonna smash some sense into yall

Remember when I said I’d start posting soon but then disappeared for like several months (again lol)? WELL as I said a while ago I quit my job because the workplace was crumbling, and it got increasingly toxic to a point where I just couldn’t work anymore. I took a risk and decided to go back to school. I feel like I’ve been put through the ringer tho lately as I’ve hit a huge string of bad circumstances that have kept me from drawing as often as I want to 🥲 such as this morning where my Wacom tablet finally ate sht, so I can’t do digital drawing until I get it repaired. I’ll still try to share sketches and other things and get back into the groove of posting again hehe. Unfortunately I don’t have a lot to share rn and a lot of these are just sketches, some from 2020-2022 that I never posted.

Best friend, husband, advisor - page 21-26 (read from right to left, like the manga)

What if instead of Iruka, Kakashi chose Shikamaru to help Naruto study for becoming the next Hokage? What if Shikamaru took it seriously and discovered Naruto had ADHD? What if along the way Shikamaru became Naruto’s best friend? This is a Naruto x Shikamaru comic, following Shikamaru's POV.

NaruFox AU Conclusion Arc pt 4: Team 7 talk!

Prev / Next

Sasuke finally tells Naruto and Sakura about Shisui and about Itachi leaving to work with the Akatsuki. Once he started he couldn't stop so he tells them a little about his parents, (the three of them) also talk a little about their time in the academy, Sasuke tries to explain why he thought he should go with Kabuto during the mission and even how he felt losing to Neji.

[mostly-just-sasuke-blog]

This random but can you tell me about Sasuke character traits, personality, behaviors, and habits.

Sasuke is driven, passionate and intense. He puts his whole soul into whatever he does. He's a character who challenges the main character both physically and morally. He is very perceptive. Sasuke sees the potential of people faster than anyone else. He was the first to see something special in Naruto and like him, not for his abilities, but because of who he was, long before Iruka did. And then later, he is the first to recognize him for his abilities. He was the only member of team 7 who wasn't shocked at how strong Sakura had gotten. Why? It shows how he saw her potential even when others didn't. He saw potential in the members of his team: in Karin, though on the outside she'd appear to others as an Orochimaru loyalist. In Suigetsu, even though he might look like a killing monster. In Juugo, even though he looked like even more of a killing monster. Sasuke saw the potential in them and chose them, even though nobody else would. People often think Sasuke is arrogant, but in truth, while he is fiercely proud of and loyal to his family and where he comes from even though it gets him a lot of trouble and pain, when it comes to himself he displays a surprising humility, often downplaying his own achievements and refusing to take credit for things he doesn't think he deserves. Sasuke represents his clan proudly, but so does every character. I see no difference in the pride Sasuke takes in his clan to anyone else. Lee boasts about his strength he worked hard for. Shino is proud of his clan. Kiba brags about his clan. Naruto boasts about how strong he is. Neji takes pride in his clan. It's normal, but only Sasuke gets attacked for it.

However, unlike the others, Sasuke is burdened by the way society demeans his family for how they died. And in sticking to his identity as an Uchiha, he is bearing their shame as well. Neji is part of a clan that collectively bears the weight of their clan's name, good and bad. But Sasuke must bear all the anger, and hate, and resentment, and expectations, and shame on himself. The burden of his family's name defines him and takes away his freedom. And he also knows whatever he does will define his family. And since Sasuke loves (in the present tense) his family deeply and bears the weight of living while they died, Sasuke takes his position and power over his family's honor and reputation very seriously. He's wouldn't allow himself to consider suicide for example because of the way it would effect how people view his clan. Evey choice he makes, even his food choices are defined by his commitment to his family. And later his new family.

What else? Sasuke is smart, strategic, focused, decisive, skilled, straight-forward, honest and authentic. He's a fighter to his core. Sasuke is the type of fighter who would rather get into an all out brawl than use genjutsu. He can do both of course. But he prefers a straight forward brawl.

He's disciplined, loyal, hard working and determined. He's competent, reliable, independent and decisive, and versatile. He's a natural leader, who can also follow the lead of others, and he can also work alone. He never takes advantage of women using his looks. He never even thinks about his looks, because it's that unimportant to him. He is protective and vigilant. He values self determination and respects free will. In part this is because others are always trying to take his own right to self determination away and others are always trying to use him for their own purposes. He's stoic, which doesn't mean not showing emotions, but bearing ones pain. More than people realize he carries a lot of pain, and grief, and guilt and anger. He'll be suffering so much inside and others will never know. And if you do know, he's already past his breaking point.

He's caring and empathetic. Without him, team 7 doesn't come together or make it past the first test. Without him, Naruto doesn't become Naruto. And Sakura might not have made it as a ninja. Sasuke is the heart of the team and the one who united team 7 together. Sasuke taught Naruto the meaning of self sacrifice. And Sakura the power of self reflection and thinking for herself. Sasuke truly is the most pure character. And a lot of people (in story and out) are jealous of him and hate him because of his choices. In the fandom this hate has been amplified by some really bad fanfictions and worse interpretations of the series that twist the facts to paint Sasuke in a bad light. In story this hate is spread by characters and society that fears and resents him or his clan and project these onto Sasuke. These people miss the point. Sasuke and Naruto are two sides of the same coin. But Naruto got help and support at the key moments he really needed it. Sasuke didn't. And that led them down different paths, but at their heart Sasuke and Naruto are the same.

Sasuke is victimized but he refuses to just be a victim. He is always doing. He is always proactive. He is always seeking freedom from the burden he carries. Others project onto him, but he stays true to his own self. Which is why He's the one who ends the cycle of hatred by forgiving and choosing to bear the weight of his loss.

Sasuke is courageous and kind.

NARUTO Shinobi days: Coming home to a surprise guest (?) Part 5

Laundry Day

Chores still needs to be done, even if you are his "one and only".

.

.

<The peak domestic life is when you are doing house chores together. Sasuke will want things done early and follows a chore schedule, and Naruto will be trudging along but still follows. I think Sasuke tends to do the laundry early to get it over with and makes Naruto carry most of the stuff to him. Naruto will definitely be at the mercy of this chore schedule 🤣

Sasuke will love wearing some of Naruto's clothes. As for Naruto, he'll let Sasuke take them all.>

naruto crack au where kakashi manages to successfully drill the "never abandon your comrades" thing into team seven's heads

so when sasuke deserts naruto and sakura immediately desert with him. like he gets to the village gates and they're just waiting for him bags packed like "what took u so long we doing this or what"

he tries to get them to go back bc of course he does. "no you losers this is about me i'm going to kill my brother. also i'll have to kill my best friend for the super sharingan and you two are like the only people i talk to". but they do not listen. teamwork sasuke we will defeat your brother (OUR brother #communism) with the power of teamwork. just like kakashi-sensei said

suddenly orochimaru has to deal with three horrible little goblins with an even more codependent relationship than his old team

#naruto #team seven #orochimaru's favorite is sakura bc she's smart and respectful and gives kabuto headaches #kabuto's favorite is naruto bc he thinks he's funny #nobody's favorite is sasuke. he's fine with that tho #also sakura can still summon slugs she made a bet with tsunade ahead of time for the right to make the contract #kakashi keeps trying to get his team back but keeps approaching them one on one #which always ends in whoever he's talking to going ''i can't abandon my teammates sensei wtf'' #obito is watching all of this from the bushes and laughing his ass off #the sound five live bc. nobody bothered to tell tsunade team seven had left until it was way too late #orochimaru keeps her updated tho #every time kakashi tries to sneak in and steal his kids back oro sends him back with pictures of how they're doing #''little sakura-chan is making excellent progress with chakra scalpels! you must be so proud! oh wait'' #she hopes he dies #oro tells naruto who his parents are to spite jiraiya #unfortunately he does this when they're all still annoying little thirteen-year-old shitheads #so sakura and sasuke are both furious and don't talk to either of them for a day #they don't even know what they're mad about they're just Mad #meanwhile sakura's parents are happy to hear she's doing well and hope she writes soon #they don't. they don't really get the treason thing #team hebi/taka still forms ofc #it's an absolute disaster #sakura's a little sad when they finally ditch orochimaru bc she'd actually really enjoyed learning from him #like yeah he was an absolutely horrible human being but. she learned a lot! #he comes back later ofc #there's sorta an awkward moment when naruto finds out gaara got abducted and demands to go after him #sasuke: ok have fun #sakura: we're going too #sasuke: fuck #orochimaru: tell sasori i said hiiiii~ <3
