For a community built around a shonen manga about FIGHTING NINJA WITH MAGIC POWERS, I don’t see nearly enough Fight Threads or character USING said magic powers.

Like, let your character punch people. Let some one rip an arm off and beat someone else with it. Set someone on fire in the middle of a war and slip in blood trying to dodge an attack. Let someone beat the absolute shit out of your character in a training sequence and have your character be grateful for it because an actual enemy would have just killed them. 

We RP as fucking assassins and murderers and thieves; let your characters be those things. It’s literally what they do for a living, even if the Naruto series sort of gives us the ‘pretty side’ of it after the Wave Mission. Your favorite character does fucked up shit as part of their job.

More so, slice-of-life threads and shipping and friendship are great!! But like, I barely see peeps using ninjutsu in threads, despite that being as main draw of the setting the characters are from. Or genjutsu!!! Let your character breath fire and summon wacky creatures and make someone believe they’re eternally lost in a field of daisies using chakra magic. 

Use the cool shit canon gave you and make even cooler shit in your threads using it! The Naruto series is dark in a lot of ways, and while its fine to explore the lighter stuff, you appreciate the good more when you also know there’s bad stuff to contrast it imo.

#copycaat #deadass its a series about child soldiers and trauma and secrets and murder #the ships are rad af and it has silly moments #but dont shy away from looking at the pdarker parts #there are war orphans and people being crushed by boulders and children being forced to kill other children #ignoring that makes the sweet parts less sweet imo #tw death #tw violence #tw blood #ask | important missive.
