[mokutone]

i don't want to imply that last panel is resolution, or that, at this point, kankuro even knows How to be a good brother, they all have a ways to go

#my art #naruto #gaara #kankuro #might gai #rock lee #gaara stresses me out in a similar way to sasuke so i dont dwell on him much. and kankuro is my favorite sand sibling anyway #but i am absolutely obsessed with how jealous and hurt and overwhelmed gaara was when gai stepped in to stop the fight #and then hugged lee and was so proud of him and so kind #and gaara was like aaaa what the fuck is happening whats he doing why is he doing this ahhhh what the fuck!!!! #and like that does hurt to look at. im gonna also say that him being voiced by middle aged man liam who i think... #i think he was trying to sound like a chain smoking twelve year old? anyway. it didnt help the vibes #anyway. nobody ever hugged gaara and thats fucked up #touch starved nervous hearted orphans (naruto and gaara) look at might gai and go 'please be my teacher please please' and theyre RIGHT #and i think abt that constantly too. gai is. genuinely so good and so kind and has such a big and warm heart... #genuinely dislike baki on principal so much just bc i dont think he likely even said 'good job' or anything to him #and like i can have fun with characters that do plenty of evil shit but. when a character is mistreating kids...that gets me fucked up #sidenote. i hate the post thats like 'older siblings should unionize' but like it was made for temari. give her a break #give her some distance #kankuro is my favorite but you know if gaara scared him he was like Temari Handle This Ill Clean Or Whatever and then did a halfassed job #thats why theres still shuriken in the walls. anyway #i was thrilled to see she spent a lot of time away from sunagakure in shippuden bc lord fucking knows she needed it #and kankuro needed to learn to be there for gaara too and mend the fear of his younger brother
