Btw Araki uses the word 'Utsukushi' for beautiful men, which is the same term Orochimaru uses to describe Sasuke.

Anti SNS Sasuke Stans - Remember, Kishimoto comes from a very small village and is from a different generation altogether; so the odds of him penning anything even close to the “sexual categorizations” of the post-modern western sexual-domains are less than the second coming of Christ.
naruto going "u like him a lot, dont u? i know exactly how u feel .. i might know it more than u can even imagine" before giving his promise to sakura to bring sasuke back asgdgsfdgs. like yeah, he knows what she feels. he knows it exactly
Interviewer: so Kishimoto-sensei can you tell us the nature of naruto and sasukes bond?
Kishimoto: *pupils blown wide hands visibly shaking sweat dripping down his forehead* uh.. um well you see.. uh they're uh... sasuke and naruto are... they’re.. oh! they're deranged and insane! ☺️
"So for me, brotherhood and friendship are the same. In that sense, I am glad that I was born with a twin (Seishi Kishimoto). The prototype of Naruto and Sasuke's friendship was me and my brother."
Masashi Kishimoto interview for ENTERMIX Magazine Interview (2015)
It has been translated by a fan, so I've kept the japanese version, feel free to correct it. But I think he conveys his thought crystal clear with no ambiguity.
so was anyone gonna tell me bill wrubel who wrote cut man cometh (dannys dad voice: youre startin to look a little bit gay) (have two men run you down with soft turkish towles until the skin begins to harden) and april is the cruelest month (i wouldnt trade the last ten years working with you danny..) went on to write for will and grace and modern family
are you a private person in social media terms? like do u share your personal life somewhere? i used to be. i had myspace for the prime years and twitter, but once it migrated to fb i didnt continue and i deleted my main twitter years ago (kinda wish i didnt) but now im so lowkey. i even only made ig to follow the guys and no one else. not sure what made me such a hermit but yeah. my social media presence is 0 and i wonder if it'll be a downfall trying to apply for jobs in the tech industry
to be fair a lot of millennials and gen zers have slowly swore off sns bc of the terrible effect it has on our mental health and society writ large, so until they fix the algorithm so they stop amplifying negative emotions and mining my personal information for ad revenue, you won't find me there.

Again, this is not rocket science, you can read the manga and easily tell how much work Kishi put into it and how seamless it was, for the most part. You hardly need interviews, his work speaks for itself. But if you don't get the work, cuz evidently you don't, then read the interviews, since you rely so much on them anyway. Perhaps it will break those flawed and ignorant preconceptions you entertain without a grain of accountability. No story comes out of oblivion. For a story to be good and believable, a lot of thought and work needs to go into it. Everything is worked out properly. Just because YOU don't get it, doesn't invalidate the actual story. And you really don't get it.
SNS deniers are embarrassing af. Like I just can't take you seriously, no one who actually gets storytelling will.
somehow it came to me how amc loustat would look like to rocker lestat's fans. you know, he would be like one of those male celebs who are outed as abusive, but his fans are delusional about it and people who just know him going like "he who i know is a good person" etc etc. i mean, i could see other artists who worked with him briefly or fans who had contacts with him would defend him cos he is charming. they would say his band mates never said anything bad about him (of course, the band knew it'd be a bad PR. they got smart manager) and they'd call louis an ex who's looking to ride les' name even though louis' book was out before the band started and les never really denied louis' book. fan wars would go down on twitter like 24/7 cos lestat ofc has a lot of antis to begin with w/wo louis' account. it's 2022/2023 after all! then one day they would hear a rumour that Thee Louis would come to The Concert, and they're dreading it. TMZ prob got a backstage photo when louis kissed lestat, and it would be out after lestat went poof gone after the concert, never be seen again. god they would hate louis so much 😂😂
