My 2000s/2010s kid medias wisdom:

Azula deserved a redemption arc and Ty Lee is the girl who got shafted by not being Zuko's love interest

The Soul Society is a military state and Ichigo was a good person for never joining it and Orihime was the best Bleach character

Sasuke was right and Kishimito made him an extremist as ableist victim blaming propaganda and Sakura and Hinata are equally good

Ben 10,including the sequels,is better than Danny Phantom

Flynn Ryder was a creep and a dickhead who didn't deserve Rapunzel

Hiccup was trans but so was Astrid,only transfem instead

Teen Titans is a beyond good show but the influence it's had on DC's comics is bad and Young Justice Animated should've never existed

The Hunger Games and Chronicles of Narnia derserve better than to be grouped in with Harry Potter because Thg is an anti-bigotry story rather than liberal bs and you can actually pull 'Death of the Author' with the problematic elements of Tcon because C.S Lewis is actually dead

Adventure Time is an almost perfect show and so're it's comics and sequel miniseries' and you can't pull 'It's bad because it got too serious in later seasons!!!' as a fact because that was the point,that it was trying to be different from most kids cartoons and it not being your thing dosen't mean it's not good writing

Winx Club,W.i.t.c.h,Totally Spies,The Powerpuff Girls,Kim Possible and MLP are feminist even if they have their flaws and they're brought in a girly packaging because they're meant to be heroes for little girls

Johnny Test is fine and y'all are weird fow visceral your reaction to it was

Percy Jackson and the Olympians dropped the ball by having Percy end up with Annabeth because they're 'destined to' since the point of Percy's story is that he never gets to choose what they actually want and they should've either ended up with Rachel or stayed single to work on character development and healing,Luke never actually cared about other demigods and was only using them as ammo against the gods because if he actually cared he wouldn't have abused them,Toa should've instead been a third Percy series of them destroying Olympus' corruption because they've had enough of the gods and replacing it with an actual good societal system and Percy is a super cool autistic Team Parent who'd be femme and kidcore if Rick bothered to develop their interests

Star Vs The Forces of Evil should've made trans Marco and autistic Star canon,endgamed them with Tom and Janna instead of eachother,made Jackie an mc and done none of that 'no magic' shit

Gravity Falls,We Bare Bears and Undertale/Deltarune's icon status are well-deserved

Craig of the Creek only gets ignored because it's a black show that's good

And She Ra and the Princesses of Power is called cringe nonstop because it's fanbase is largely wlw and trans women who're loud and proud with their queerness and the creator at the time of it's airing identified as a nonbinary lesbian and people hate female queerness while hyping up male kinds that play into stereotypes(Stiles and Derek from Teen Wolf,Magnus and Alec from The Mortal Instruments,the Shiro/Keith discourse,the Boyfriends Webtoon,Marauder's Era even being a thing,etc.Note that i am not calling Stevenson female but rather saying he knows what lesbophobic experiences are)

on the sand cousins au, thoughts on sakura being in line for kazekage (it was hereditary, right? I can't imagine they'd elect gaara.)

also sand siblings with an intense ass grudge against sasuke lol

ur meeting ur gfs fam and u tried to kill her cousins, they've tried to kill you, and ur gf could've been kazekage, if she wasn't born in konoha.

You know I don't know. Was the kazekage position hereditary? Wouldn't surprise me if it was.

I don't think Sakura would be in line for it, though. In my head, it was always Mebuki and Karura, the sand siblings' mother, who were related. How closely related is up to you guys.

But lmao them having a grudge against Sasuke. Maybe that's how they ended up on the retrieval arch (seriously they had to he close for them to come to the rescue like that. Sand and Leaf are canonically three days journey from one another) The sand siblings were coming to visit and oh hell no. This dude made their cousin cry. Where's he at? Don't worry Sakura we'll go help Naruto drag him back to the village. Years later Temari sends a message to Kankuro and Gaara to hurry their asses up to visit Konoha. Not only do they got Shikadai to visit but Sakura came home with Uchiha and they have a baby. Gaara and Kankuro both curse because now there's no way of getting rid of Uchiha. Sakura why? Bad enough Temari procreated with that lazy ass Nara. They could have found you a nice guy in the Sand village.

Sakura is also pissed off when the Akatsuki took Gaara and poisoned Kankuro. You poisoned her cousin and then KIDNAPPED HER FAVORITE ONE?! Oh, someone was definitely gonna die. Her taking out a missing sand nin was just a bonus to her cousins' village.

Sakura didn't leave Gaara's side for three days after he got back to the village. She claimed it was to make everything was okay medically since he came back to life an all but really she was kinda scared to leave her family member alone.

Now fair warning I do actually like Matsuri and do ship her with Gaara. I think it's cute. I know some of you get weird about it. So stop here if you don't want to see GaarMatsu. You get weird about it I will use the block button.

At some point during Sasuke and Sakura's journey they make a stop in Sand where almost the whole time they're there Sakura is teaming up with Kankuro to match make Gaara and Matsuri.

Gaara will never admit it but Sasuke kinda helped in this area. Both Gaara and Sasuke are more reserved in their emotions. During one drunken night Gaara asks Sasuke how he was able to let go and show his love to Sakura. Gaara doesnt say it but he wants to be able to do that too with Matsuri. To he able to show her he loves her. Sasuke admits he is still learning but it's a process he's working on together with Sakura.

The next day during one of Kankaruo and Sakura's schemes that involve poor oblivious Matsuri Gaara listens to Sasuke's advice and takes the first step in showing his love to Matsuri.

Sakura is ecstatic, Sasuke is happy Sakura is happy.

Some people say that Adrienette breakup is the only way we can get Ladrien.

Listen, I am a Ladrien bitch, but I don't actually think we NEED Ladrien to get together. I think that ship has sailed. (Literally)

Look, is playing with the different sides fun? Yes. Would it have been fun to see each side have its time to shine? Absolutely. My issue with breakups and get back togethers at this point is the way they've set Adrinette up throughout s5. Well, since s1 really, but s5 especially.

We have been waiting literal, actual YEARS for these two to do something. The requited love in s5 was years in the making. If they wanted to play with the Ladrien romantic potential, they should have done it within that time. Doing it now is just like ehh, okay? At this point, it would be doing it just to say they did it, and I am a Ladrien stan. Am I annoyed with the lost potential of that side? 100% yes. But I just don't see it being viable romantically after s5 without some kind of reveal happening. Believe me, I want Ladrien hugs and kisses more than anyone, but Adrinette fought way too damn hard in s5 just to be together. Doing away with them is just kind of like okay? Then what was the point?

And miss me with the argument that shows do it all the time because for me, if a couple breaks up and gets back together all the time, that's not healthy. That does not demonstrate to me that the couple has healthy coping mechanisms, and if they get together again, what guarantee do I have that it will stick? I don't root for those couples. A majority of my favorite fictional couples are couples who get together and work to stay together. Leslie/Ben from Parks and Rec (and yes, I know they technically broke up for a short time but it was a very specific and believable circumstance. I'm talking about the several seasons they were together without breaking up after that), Jake/Amy from Brooklyn 99, Sakura/Syaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura. All of those couples have gotten together and had plenty of story after getting together where they grew in meaningful ways, and their relationship wasn't boring or a detriment to that. It made their romance more satisfying to see them go through things together (or even separately) and stay together. That's real love.

There are plenty of meaningful ways they can grow as characters while being in a relationship. We saw that throughout s5 with how hard they worked to figure their relationship out and make it work, and that's why I'm rooting for them. They worked for that shit, and I think they deserve it. They deserve to just be happy and in love. They can still continue to grow separately as characters and within the bonds of their relationship. Them being together doesn't automatically mean their development has stopped and won't continue. They don't need to breakup to continue to be interesting. To me, continuing the will-they-wont-they with more breakups and get back togethers would be boring. We've had plenty of wondering if/when/how they will get together. They are together now. I am personally now more interested in how they continue to grow together. How the other sides are different now that they are together. How the dynamics will shift and progress them further leading to an eventual reveal. That's what interests me about future seasons.

Idk, I find it really, really weird that we were begging for something to happen with the love square for years. We begged for them to get together, and now that they are finally together people are begging for them to break up. And for why? A lot of people never even tried to enjoy it. It's weird to me, nonny, and I think it's just a testament of the toxicity of parts of this fandom. I love, love, love Ladrien. I don't think they need an episode to be together romantically at this point. They should have done it a long time ago. I personally want to see them interact with a new dynamic at this point. We can still get Ladrien, it just won't be like what it was, and that's fine. It's fine for all of the sides to adopt new dynamics now that one side is dating. I would actually hope that would happen.

Cause let's be real, Ladybug still having mad heart eyes for her bf but having to pretend he's just another normal citizen who she definitely isn't going to makeout with later? Adrien still sweating bc m'lady pls I'm begging let me go so I can transform and help you?

At this point, some people should just stick to fanfic. 🤷‍♀️

#cat replies #s5 discourse #oh look cat is being a loud mouth again what else is new?#listen yall are the ones that send me asks i just answer 🤷‍♀️

note: late celebration but this is for the special boy in the fic

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

My King

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

Thoma was (name)'s closest friend, ever since Thoma arrived to Inazuma, their gloomy days have been over. His smile lightening up every day they meet up, and when he can't come to their house? They're always allowed to enter the Kamisato Estate, the Kamisato Siblings don't seem to mind, they've even grown fond of (name) too.

Subtle hints of interest have always been dropped between the two, yet they cannot pick each other's hints up, especially Thoma.

The Kamisato Siblings had to do something, the anticipation was killing them. So they did.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

"Oh, (Name)!" Ayaka called.

"Ayaka? What are you doing here?" (name) asked, picking up the tomato they just paid for.

"I just came to tell you that there's gonna be a hotpot game tonight! At Komore Teahouse, of course." Ayaka mentioned.

"Oh, alright. See you there then!" (name) smiled.

Ayaka smiled back, a bit awkwardly. "Yeah, see you!"

Ayaka waved as she exited the busy market, bowing and smiling slightly to those who noticed her.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

The door slides open.

"Oh, hey Aya- Thoma?" (name) looks at Thoma, confused.

"Oh, hey (name). Something wrong?" Thoma smiles at them, eyes having a hint of confusion.

"I thought the Ayaka and Ayato would also join." (name) explains.

"Oh.. Wait, Milady and My Lord aren't here yet?" Thoma looked more confused.

"They weren't with you?"

"Nope"

"Oh"

"..Yeah...."

The two looked at each other awkwardly. Despite the years they have spent with each other, it felt pretty awkward.

"Should we wait for them?" (name) asked, breaking the short-lived silence.

"I'd think we should. It would be pretty rude to start without them." Thoma walked over and sat beside them.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

A few minutes passed and there still was no sign of the Kamisato Siblings.

"I wonder where they are.." (name) said, looking down.

"They could be busy.. We can try starting without them?"

"It's just the two of us, wouldn't it be easy to guess who's ingredients are whos?"

"I guess so."

(name) looked up and noticed some mochi and other ingredients with a note on top of it. They took the platter of ingredients and placed it closer to them.

"That looks like Milady's handwriting." Thoma read the note out loud, which mentioned that she and Ayato are busy, and they should just go ahead.

The note had a small and wonky doodle of Ayaka winking.

The two of them looked at each other before putting the ingredients in the hotpot and put their ingredients in too.

They enjoyed it despite Ayaka and Ayato not being there, laughing or almost spitting out a gross ingredient which Ayato most likely provided them.

⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘

(name) hummed in thought at who's ingredient they could have eaten.

"It's Sakura Mochi... Which means it could be Ayaka's." They said, happily chewing the sweet treat, despite it being mixed in with every other weird ingredient.

Thoma looked in awe at how their cheeks looked stuffed with the mochi. He reached his hand out and softly pinched their cheeks.

"What- was that for?" (name) asked, swallowing the treat and looking at Thoma.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help it! You just looked so cute eating the mochi so I had to." He chuckled, before noticing (name)'s slightly flushed cheeks.

"You.. think I'm cute?" (name) asked, a bit flustered by his remark.

Thoma raised his eyes before realizing, blushing slightly. "I mean yeah.." He turns away from embarrassment "I think you're cute.."

Snap

A Kamera flashes, taking a picture of the scene.

"Turns out we were right on time." Ayato chuckled, holding the picture of Thoma and (name) flushed.

"M-My Lord!?!? H-hey! That's not fair!" Thoma stood up, reaching for the picture of them.

He evaded his attempts to grasp the picture, laughing light-heartedly.

"I'm sorry (name)!" Ayaka exclaimed, going and apologizing to them, and trying to explain why they did it.

Thoma gave up on his attempts, with his master dodging too fast for him to follow.

The four eventually settled down, talking to each other happily.

"Aha! So I win! Guess I'm the hotpot king." Thoma said, proud of himself.

"Guess I could call you.. 'My King'." (name) said flirtatiously.

"Guess I am your King."

time always gets really weird in long running mangas, and it gets hard to notice how little time has actually passed in the story. you get so caught up in the time it takes you irl to read it, or you follow if for years when it was serialized, that you kind of just start projecting longer time frames than is actually happening. and the mangakas do that too which doesnt help! once you get ahold of the passage of time again, character relationships can start to feel weird, like not unbelievably weird, but weird enough to make you doubt them a bit. a lot of naruto fans view the original team 7 as being very close in part 1 but when you step back and look at it, between team 7 forming and sasuke leaving the village is like 6 months, and 3 of those months barely count because they weren't even working together. sasuke spends more than a year with taka in the manga and youre telling me the bonds he has with naruto and sakura are more meaningful to him than them? at least in bleach, ichigo knew chad and orihime before the events of the manga, but ichigo and rukia only knew each other for a couple months before she was taken back to the soul society, and even though they barely know her, orihime, chad and uryu all want to go with him to save her? uryu literally starts hanging out with them after ichigo meets rukia. the entirety of part 1 from ichigo becoming a shinigami to defeating aizen takes place over 6 months. oda has this problem where he hates having time pass without drawing it, so the first part of one piece takes place over 3-6 months, if i'm being generous. and it's been 2 months max since the straw hats entered the new world which is bonkers! i love their friendships and the way they've all bonded, but at the same time i'm like how do you have so much faith and trust in people you've spent more time away from in the past 3 years than with? luffy barely knew sabo for a year when he thought he died? i know a lot of these stories are action/adventure and the characters are often in danger together so i get why that might force them to bond more quickly, but i'm left wondering how much more natural some of these relationships would feel if they'd been allowed to have implied development outside of the story. and i do get why they often don't because that wastes panel space, but i still want it. it's super interesting when you compare these stories to shows that have mostly self-contained episodes with season arcs because the passage of time and the relationships feel so much more natural. my favourite example is leverage because all of the characters do things together outside of the what we actually see in the episodes, like they'll reference jobs that we don't see them do, or conversations that happen offscreen. and obviously i know why there is such a stark difference between them for stylistic, genre and contextual reasons, overall structure of the narrative, industry standards and restrictions, editorial oversight, like i get it, i understand. but it would be nice, you know? i always love thinking about the empty spaces an author leaves in their own story

#wings.txt #op blogging #naruto blogging #i'm not tagging bleach fuck that #naruto and sasuke in particular is a weird one #bcus on the one hand #both of them are so fucked up that i could believe that they'd genuinely consider each other best friends #because neither of them really understands friendship in part 1 #but there should have been more there between all of team 7 to make it more impactful #anyway part 1 i can excuse but by part 2 i'm just like #you are both so delusional about this relationship. god bless #i've been writing a bit again so i've just been thinking about storytelling a lot #anyway i say all this as someone who didn't tell my s/o i loved them until we'd been dating for almost a year #so maybe it's just that the idea of becoming close friends with someone in like a week in incomprehensible to me #anyway just lots of thoughts

Taria's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Kanon Hojo

"Wow, and I thought that weird spider-woman from Shinagawa was bad. This woman looks even more insane than her, if that's possible. Are all Chuohku scientists like this? If so, then it's a wonder we aren't all tied onto operating tables and having our insides cut open so they can be used or sold for parts!"

Reika Aichi

"I know I don't really have room to talk since I basically do the same thing as this woman, but I really despise her. Kira says she's worried that I could end up becoming like her someday. Yeah, fat chance! Yes, I steal money from people, but the difference is, I don't kill them! I don't look for rich and influential men to marry and then off them! It's women like her that are the reason I don't trust the police. If they were any good at their jobs, then this woman would be locked up by now! ...Of course, you could say the same thing about me..."

Sakura Kito

"This might come as a surprise to you, but I don't have anything against crime organizations. I mean, I'm a thief and part of one myself, you know. I don't even have anything against the Mafia or the Yakuza. Provided they stay out of my way and don't bother me or mine, we'll have nothing to worry about. This woman, unfortunately, broke both of those rules. Not only has she been sending her cronies here in Ōta, but according to Kira, they've also been bothering some of the businesses here."

"That wouldn't have bothered me so much if they had left my family out of it, but when Kira informed me that they were harassing Chinami, I was pissed! Even more so because it happened while I wasn't there! I'm definitely getting this wench and her group back for that!"

Silent Tragedy

"Yeah, I don't care one whit about this team! If, on the off chance, we get to face them, I'm gonna enjoy tearing them a new one! Especially that Ms. Yakuza over there! I don't know if you ordered your men to Ōta, or what, but I really don't care! They belong to your organization, which makes you responsible! And I promise, I'll show you what happens when you mess with my family, bitch!"

Believe it or not I'm very very hesitant and anxious when talking about the ships I have for my au. Both oc x canon and canon x canon, for a multitude of reasons, but! I think it would be beneficial to everyone if y'all knew what are the ships I plan to have here. I'm not going over every single one, just the ones that comes to mind. No oc x oc here only because those are the ones I'm most comfortable talking about, since it's all my canon and my characters. Putting it below cause it's gonna get kinda long.

Cheren x Lear. The fanart got to me lol. I think they're cute.

Bianca x Roxie. My personal rare pair.

Hau x Gladion. It's not immediate,in fact it pretty much takes them years to even recognize they have romantic feelings for each other( like near adulthood years). Though even before that, I think the platonic love between them is just so sweet.

Kukui x Burnett x Guzma. I think Guzma deserves all the love,okay.

Kenji x Silver. The first oc x canon on this list!

I used to plan on shipping Kiran and Barry together, but recently I'm thinking aroace Barry is the Barry I want for my au. Not sure if he's romance averse, or if he's okay with being in a relationship that focuses on it. So, again, they're in a weird limbo, but honestly I might just have them be friends. I'm only adding it to the list cause I needed to get it off my chest hgvhvgvgvcg.

Cynthia x Diantha! Battle moms! Actually, no, I think battle wine aunts are probably a better term for them.

Maybe Cyrus x Saturn? Like honestly there's so much baggage here, and I don't want to make every single reconciliation of ones past turn into a romantic subplot. I do think Saturn has/had the hots for Cyrus tho.

Sycamore x Lysandre. They make me sad :)

Lillie x Amsonia. I already talked about them here. Amsonia and Gladion are wlw mlm hostility.

Short term Alexis x Leon. Long term Leon x Raihan x Piers( unless I change my mind abt Piers but for now he's in the throuple)

Jin x Kohaku x Wally cause I said so. Old people love ( they're 30)

Miguel ( Eva's dad) x Emmet. Old man yaoi

Naomi x Marnie <3. They've always been on my mind but I wanted to focus on the non romantic relationship drama that they had ( cause it's a lot), and like some other ships,they only really start to notice these feelings until way after swsh.

Unless I say otherwise, I don't mind y'all interpreting how I write Hop and Bede as romantic. Truthfully, I actually enjoy the ship, but realistically I can only see it happening way after swsh, when they're both matured and chilled out and are actually friends. So I guess they are ambiguous in my au? Idk. Still gonna focus on their friendship in my writing tho.

Sakura x Adaman and Zero x Volo! Sakura and Adaman actually had kids :3

I don't actually have a canon ship for SV right now. Trust me, I see the potential with some characters ( Ramona and Arven, Ramona and Nemona, Arven and Giacomo, etc), but because of that, and the fact I'm indecisive as hell, there isn't a canon ship for Legendverse! SV. I will still talk about them cause I have brainrot, but nothing is really canon just yet.

Obligatory Steven x Wallace, Red x Blue , Archie x Maxie, you know it, you get it.

And yeah! That's the ships at the top of my head. There's probably loads more that I just haven't thought about or seen haha. Just wanted to be on equal footing with you guys ( and try and gain a little more confidence in speaking about it).

My problems with clear card

never really see anyone talk about how bad clear card actually is so here i am. everything i say about Kaito, Akiho, and syaosaku is not meant to be an attack on people who like them but instead criticism on how clamp has written all of them.

all right this is going to be long so buckle up (very big spoiler warning for all of Cardcaptor Sakura and Clear Card)

Problem 1: Clear Card's story

The story seems to be all over the place, like Clamp couldn't decide what they wanted to go with. it may seem simple at first but there's: Stuff with Nadeshiko and Lillie, Kaito and Akiho's weird magic group, Sakura getting new cards, Syaoran taking the old cards, Touya getting new powers, Yukito's magic contract, and the fact that most of it gets introduced and then dropped without getting explained.

Problem 2: The Kaito and Akiho problem

Kaito and Akiho get focused on so much that it seems like they don't even want it to be Sakura's show anymore. Everyone LOVESSSSS Akiho but, she never really does anything does she? she's only really nice and yet Clamp wants you to love her, and it works, she embodies the fakeness Clear Card has with its characters (we'll talk about that more in a bit.) and Kaito is just Yukito if he was a villain (and cishet) who Clamp wants you to like, and they try to make him baby girl so hard that they forgot that he's an asshole to Sakura the whole time.

Problem 3: The Syaosaku problem

Don't get me wrong, I love syaosaku but its gotten to the point that Sakura and Syaoran don't get to be their own characters. Sakura (despite being the main character) gets screwed over on about the same level as Cardcaptors and Syaoran doesn't even get to be mean or do anything that isn't going "i love Sakura!!!".

Problem 4: The fake niceness

outwardly mean characters like Syaoran and Nakuru are now forced to be nice to everyone, Like Nakuru for example now, can't mock Yukito or start any sort of conflict. (even though it was a main part of her character.)

Problem 5: The lack of gay rep

This is one of my biggest problems. CCS and Clamp as a whole has always been known for having great LGBTQ+ rep and yet, Clear Card has nothing. the other day i counted every gay thing in Clear Card i could find, you want to guess the number i got? 5. and two of them were pushing it. Its clear that Clamp doesn't care anymore (or they just dont care enough to show it). As a gay man, CCS's gay rep means a lot to me, so to see it so shamelessly removed like were on the same level as the pedophilia and incest hurts. This is the only time ive ever seen anyone talk about it (please read it!!!)

Problem 6: Clamp's hatred of Touya and Yukito

even thought they've been in CCS since the start they barely get to do anything anymore or even show up. yes i know that im biased but its clear that they don't want to let them do stuff, when they get something to do Clamp gets rid of it and never talks about it again. It probably doesn't help that they showed up so much in the sakura card arc.

alright that's the end of this. I'll reblog this with more stuff if i think of any other problems i had. thanks for reading my bad little rant

#cardcaptor sakura #cardcaptor sakura clear card #clamp #i dont want to tag every character so im not going to #sorry about the grammar issues

Why are all these fate butterflies lost and is it Sakura’s fault? There are so many of them what is their deal??

see, it is very simple. Once, Zhuang Zhou dreamed he was a butterfly, a butterfly flitting and fluttering about, happy with himself and doing as he pleased. He didn't know that he was Zhuang Zhou. Suddenly he woke up and there he was, solid and unmistakable Zhuang Zhou. But he didn't know if he was Zhuang Zhou who had dreamt he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhuang Zhou. Between Zhuang Zhou and the butterfly there must be some distinction! This is called the Transformation of Things.

in fate if someone's a butterfly it means they dream of being human. there's something about them which sets them apart from humanity and makes them ephemeral but that something is in itself somewhat ephemeral because the distinction between human and butterfly is but a dream. they're often weaklings but also hard to get rid of which goes for weird bugs in fate in general (though most of the bugs are butterflies anyway) because it's easy to kill a bug but another identical looking one will immediately take its place and the cycle of violence continues eternally because they lack the power to end these patterns. butterflies are also often symbolic of the spirits of the dead and there exist multiple species of corpse eating butterfly so a butterfly character is someone on this interstice of alive/dead/awake/dreaming/human/inhuman pressing their face against the metaphorical window of the human experience like sickos.png with also generally an angle of completely changing themselves to maintain this fleeting dream since caterpillars are so different from butterflies.

they're lost because shi huang di insisted they didn't have to stop to ask for directions and now they've been driving in the wrong direction for millennia and humanity has become unrecognizable to itself but still the butterfly continues to dream inside its chrysalis waiting for the day it will emerge a human. hope this helps

Today I got into discourse about how "Kamen Rider Jeanne's plot is Fine Actually and it's Okay that while we're all talking about demons going berserk inside the Igarashi siblings, Lovekov still isn't capable of a goddamn thing and thus really removes the tension from Sakura's story" I wanted to ask, as someone who is also watching Revice and IS a woman, are you as sick as I am of girls getting handed these "Oh they think I'm weak and pathetic! I have to prove myself!" plots? Like, combining all this with Jeanne not getting any kind of upgrade or extra form makes it extra shitty to me. But people keep defending it to me from the in universe perspective of "Of COURSE Lovekov can't do anything and isn't a part of any kind of new form. She's Sakura's Weakness" Without taking two seconds to think why SAKURA was the one given this plot.

well i can see your frustration with that, i didnt like how sakura's initial plot was about her weakness either, but i'm generally happy with where she is in the story since her debut arc as a rider concluded. she has consistently been given her own independent story with aguilera and tamaki, consistently been shown to be a competent fighter, and has been advancing her own story on her own terms with choosing to associate with weekend. sakura's story isnt dependent on anyone else and they have been very upfront with making it so the story path she takes is one she chooses. yes sure her demon is silly and yes sure she wasnt involved in the gifu making demons go crazy thing that vice and kagerou were, but the same plot repeated three times over would have been pushing it and theres no need for her to mirror every plot point her brothers get in order for her to be equal. sakura doesnt struggle with her inner demon the way ikki and daiji did so theres no reason to just suddenly make that up for her.

as to the the tension in sakura's story, it comes from her being association with weekend, and her ongoing feud with aguilera, which makes sense cuz again the same source of tension for every character just wouldnt work. sakura has her own things going on independently of the other riders.

as for her not getting new toys, i'd have you ask yourself why that's so important to you in terms of legitimizing a character. a million toys dont automatically equal a good character, and i think its weird to see so many people complaining about a lack of them for sakura when for the last several years the overwhelming consensus has been that the torrent of toys has ruined the pacing and integrity of kamen rider as a narrative. she has a belt and she has weapons, thats honestly all she needs since again they've been keeping her at a consistent power level on par with revice and live despite them getting new ugly forms every 3 weeks.

so i get being distrustful and on guard about a female rider, and i absolutely dont want to invalidate your opinion and feelings on the matter, but i do have to fundamentally disagree with you on this, my apologies. if you think sakura is being mistreated by the narrative thats of course entirely your conclusion to make and i dont want you to feel belittled for it, agree or disagree.

Hey i really love your blog!!! I just plucked the courage to actually send u an ask fhdjhd but GOSH i love your video edits and your gifs and your meta article posts, you're so articulate and you can explain/describe moments in a way that makes me go "oh wow, i cant believe i haven't seen it that way before!!" Haha ANYWAYS i'm just here to say that i completely agree with what all u said, Free creators might do a lil fanservice here and there for the 25 ships that exists within the fandom's circle, but rinharu's storyline is clearly the most romantic one! And i'd argue it's the one closest to being canon esp after part 1, i mean the fact that they put such an explosive emotional outburst right at the end of the second to the last movie means a lot. It's like reinforcing the fact that this series has always been about them, and everything that has happened only happened either because they met or they grew appart and miss eachother. I kinda feel like maybe.. juust maayyybe there's a chance KA wants to make the ship canon, since it's the last movie and they want to end it on a highnote maybe (bcs honestly i think the only reason they've been holding back is purely bcs of the merch sales, since they don't have a problem showing a wholesome lesbian love story in kobayashi maid dragon) butt i could be wrong, maybe i'm just overly optimistic and delusional, they could somehow ruin it and give an ending that panders to all the ships again 😅🥲, but at least there's a clear-cut guarantee that part 2 would dedicate a large portion of it fixing rin and haru's fight!!! Oohh how can i wait another 6 months now!!😭😭 (sorry for the long ask btw!! 🙏🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️)

OMG thank you so so much!! For watching my vids too! ❤️❤️❤️ It really means a lot to me! Ahhhh wow, thats the longest ask I've ever recieved! 😍 I'm trying to explain myself so hard lol I'm glad its appreciated, bc sometimes I'm like "I don't fucking know how to say this" xD

Well, you know me, I only care for one ship, which is the only one with confirmed info that they're both actually gay and have mutual feelings for each other. There are some other ships in free! I'm fine with (those do not include Rin or Haru in them xD), but I just mostly don't care, bc after reading all the stuff, you can see that in some of those to one the other one is actually like his second option, which I just do not like. Others I just don't even see, bc again to me who witnessed great close male friendships and having two sisters who I'm very close to, I just do not see anything romantic in that.

It's not just Free! tbh, it's like any sports anime these days. They see two guys walking together, it's a ship. And like no one cares if they're just bros. Like I'd get i they did some fanservice fanservice, but like I never saw anyone in Free! crossing the line the way rinharu do. I can without thinking much name you 10 rh moments that no matter how hard you think can't be explain as being bros, but can't name one when it comes to others. I just find some ppl shipping everyone with everyone weird sometimes. It's like western fans see like some eastern actors or singers slap each other ass lovingly and they're like "oh they're fucking" I'm like "yeah, ofc all 500 of them, you're absolutely right". And Free! doesn't do anything even like that, I just do not get sometimes like what moment even brought on some ships. I'm genuinely confused. Albert and Haru? You fucking fell from a sakura tree or smth? I'm...

I'm especially confused when it comes to guys, whose character type is who I call "I only want this one and if I can't have it, then I'm ok" xD. It just always surprised me, when they try to pair up them with someone else, it's like a complete ooc.

I'm also not into this whole "well, if there are gays in this anime, than everyone there is gay". I'm like... huh. It's like with KNB and MDZS I had same feeling. It's like you have already couples there who are canon/borderline canon, why do you need another 10 who don't even interact or just don't even go there? I'm always so confused in those situations. Or like wangxian is married and some are like "no, I actually don't like it, let me write a fic when they're with other ppl". Lan Zhan... being in love or having sex with someone else? Yeah, that's not Lan Zhan, dude, you're writing about someone else. Might as well change the name at this point.

But last time I went to twitter someone had a thread about how if they make s4 of Free! they should mainly explore there Momo's angst (and no, it wasn't a joke), so I'm already like, I'm just.. nothing will surprise me no more. But I'm forever gonna be confused.

Yeah, I eel you about "going there". I mean seeing part of it, it just kinda cemented my confusion, bc I do not get how it can be considered platonic. We were just discussing since yesterday with @freeseafirefly how I now even more perplexed and do not understand how they will resolve it without going into relationship territory. It's just our point here is that like... no one forced them to go there (I mean its not like this whole fandom has some wild expectations or anything already), we were waiting or our usual friendship and swimming and maybe tiny conflict about struggles of pro-careers and some usual rh implications (maybe all the rh gay in dramas as always). Not some pure fanfiction coming to life here haha.

Like why I'm laughing is bc I twice used in my "fics" bringing up him leaving Haru as a force to push the confession, bc there's no way if he adresses this it won't lead to this. And now we not only have this (bc Haru just basically layed it out there), but an actual scene of him playing on their feelings for each other and a literal image of Rin leaving and "taking Haru's heart with him" to the point when he's for the first time in his life openly crying on the ground. And it's not like this scene can be interpreted as anything else, the whole fandom talks same, bc the whole fight was just about them, what Haru said was just about them, there's a literal boom of his heart getting out of his chest, before he falls and now he's heartless.

So our question is like... why go there?

It's like some say that they might still resolve it with "they're special to each other" and swimming, but still like we already knew that, there was no reason to go that far is what I'm saying. And to think that it was planned since forever giving the clues is like... ???

The whole spoon theme also throw me on the loop because like, lets be honest, it's wedding themed. And that part of the interview about part 2 there also made me go...?????? Because I mean, huh?

This is just all in all very interesting turn of events to say the least. I do not see the point of all of this if its not what I think it is, esp after seeing tweets like "even I see a rh wedding and I'm mh T_T". It's just all very unsubtle, that's why we're confused.

Like who knows, maybe we'll really by some magic turn of events get lucky and they really decided that since its the ending, it's okay to go for it. But I also don't wanna to hype myself much, I'm already really happy with it, just bc again, this scene already proves all of my points.

And yeah, I'm sure they'll pander to everyone, bc it's the end and etc and we have to handle everything on the good note and there's a whole line of ppl who's obsessed with us, esp with Haru xD, but like bromance pandering and romance pandering are different things, you know *wiggles eyebrows* and u know who always gets the second one.

SEND ME A SHIP AND I’LL TELL YOU…

Who’s the cuddler?

Hrmmmm this is a tough one. I think Sakura, if only because she 1) wouldn't have as many mental blocks about physical contact and 2) probably doesn't get overstimulated as much as Itachi

Who makes the bed?

Itachi. While Itachi might get up earlier, Sakura tends to be in a rush in the morning and she will leave the bed a mess. So Itachi will make it when he gets home. Sakura doesn't really understand why since it's usually only a few hours before they go to bed anyway and they're just gonna mess up the sheets again.

Who wakes up first?

Itachi most days. But if Sakura is on call or has a patient she's worried about she'll be up first. Or if Itachi has a day off, Sakura really encourages him to stay in bed and rest.

Who has the weird taste in music?

Itachi. Sakura mostly listens to the popular music of the time (she'll put on a playlist in the OR but usually ends up tuning it out as she works)

Who is more protective?

Hrm...I'd say this is the 50/50 here. Yeah Itachi sees the worst of the world through the Anbu, but Sakura sees the shinobi who aren't so lucky. She sees every day exactly how bad it looks when things go wrong.

Who sings in the shower?

Both of them.

Who cries during movies?

Hrm I'd say probably neither of them unless they've been sharing a bottle of wine

Who spends the most while out shopping?

100% Itachi. It honestly baffles Sakura how that boy manages to spend so much.

Who kisses more roughly?

I'd say that most of the time it's Sakura. Itachi is a little more restrained just because of his upbringing. But there are occasions when Itachi gets rough when hes especially wound and finally lets lose.

Who is more dominant?

Another 50/50. But probably Sakura a little bit more. Itachi is 100% switch, so he doesn't mind being dom or sub but Sakura leans much more heavily into dom.

My rating of the ship from 1-10.

10/10 adorable ship and OTP

I'm making a small crossover fanfic, hope you like it.

What an odd, yet dangerous adventure (Resident Evil crossover Naruto)

I'm sorry if I have an incorrect grammar and spellings.

This event after they fight Toneri, but before Naruto married Hinata.

It was a sunny day that it was a perfect time for the two shinobi to go outside for a training, as they're in the middle of the training, Naruto stop practice as Sakura stop too "Let's have a lunch and rest for a moment." He said as he lie down along with Sakura lie down on a grass "Aah~ finally some rest." She take out her lunch box and eat "Hehe, I'm actually not that hungry dattebayo." Naruto giggle as he heard his stomach growl, "Seriously? I suggest you to eat now unless you want me throw all your ramen from your bag." Sakura threathening making him gulp and sit down and hurriedly eat his ramen as Sakura give him her vegetable "Here, eat the vegetable so you'll be strong and healthy." Sakura give him as he felt grateful "Thank you Sakura chan." He eat the vegetable with ramen happily as they realize that it's been a hour they've wait for Kakashi since he promise to spend time with them.

~timeskip~

"Man, I wonder when Kakashi sensei be here, it's already late." Naruto seat under the tree beside Sakura "Hmph, probably he's late because of full paperwork." It's been two hour they've been waiting for him, so Sakura ask him, "Naruto, I was wondering how's your date with Hinata?" She smirk when Naruto face become pink as he grin and explain "Well it's nothing much, we just eat in Ichiraku ramen, and we're just walkimg around the park and talk. Hmm.... how about you Sakura chan, have you receive any letter from Sasuke?" It's Naruto turn to ask as she simply said "Hasn't receive any letter this week." It's a nice conversation for them When all of a sudden both Naruto and Sakura felt a presence, so both of them stand up and take their kunai, "Oi! Whoever you are show up already, you've been get caught!" Sakura said in serious tone as finally turns out it was a man bringing a machine, "Oh, so you've finally caught me eh? I was just about to look for a person to help me test my machine, but it seems like you two will be a good sample hehehe." The mysterious man finally turns on the machine and making a big hole as it was about suck Sakura when Naruto hold her tightly "Naruto! You mist let go of me or you'll get suck into the hole with me." Sakura told him, yet she can tell that he'd denied it. "No! I won't let you go Sakura chan." Naruto can't hold it any longer as he finally get suck into the portal with Sakura as it shut and the machine becoming disfunction and broken. "Damn it! Why is it becoming broken? I better go back before anyone notice it." The man was about to run away when a shuriken manage to stab his knees. "Aaagh! Who the hell did this?!" The man scream in pain as Kakashi reveal himself and hold him tightly "Return my students now!" "Wh- what? I- I can't! the machine is broken. I can't bring them back for now, but I can fix them so please spare me." The man beg him as Kakashi still give him a glare, but sigh and slowly get off from on top of him, "Tch, fine but I'll held captive you and bring you to my office and explain yourself." Kakashi finally let him go as the man stand up, but fall on the ground once he saw Kakashi chop his neck.

~timeskip~

In the middle of bumpy road, there's a police car driving through the forest, in there, two Spain polices infront of the seat, and Leon sit behind them, his blue eyes was focus on the front view once he notice that there's a bodies laying on the ground and the police car stop.

"I'll go check on them." Leon command, got out from the car and walk to them, he saw a boy in blond, short, hair. Wearing a black clothes and long, orange, pants. The girl has a short, pink, hair. It looks like she wear a ninja's clothes? Yet, both of them wear the same headband with a weird symbol. Leon tried to wake up the girl and the boy "Hey, wake up you both." He heard a groan from the girl as she sit and look at her surrounding only to be lock eyes with Leon "Ugh, excuse me? Who are you? And where am I?" She hold her head in pain as she remember the hole that the mysterious man suck them them into it. "Damn that bastard, I don't know where he took us, but this is a whole different world. And the guy, he doesn't look like an enemy." She look at the two police standing behind him and when she look at the boy, she relieve that she doesn't have to be alone with these strangers. "Ma'am, you're in the forest now, are you and your friend live in Spain?" He ask, judge by the look, Leon can tell she's confuse when he ask if she live in Spain. They're more of a Japanese people. There's something odd about these two, but for some other time he'll wait his answer. "Umm... no me and him aren't live in Spain. We're Japanese people. Well, umm... we're here because of vacation, we're about to go hiking when I got slip by the mud only to get rolled down here." She lied since it'll be more complicated and soumd crazy of she tell the truth. "Sigh* alright, you may come with us if you want to. But, are you and your friend have any injured?" Leon asked, before She could answer, a groan escape from the blond as he wake up and look at both of them confusely. He look at the girl who seem to signal him not to tell them about what happend and act confuse, "Hey Sakura chan, what happend?" The boy understand the girl's signal as the girl faintly let out a relieve sigh. "So Sakura is your name, how about you?" Leon ask the boy, "Oh, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, and this is my friend Sakura Haruno." Naruto introduce as Leon nod and stand up. "My name is Leon." Leon introduce too as Sakura stand up from the ground along with Naruto. "Leon right? We wouldn't mind to come with you, and we're alright, it's probably just a scratch." Sakura answer him as he give her a nod and told them to get inside the car as Leon sit on the left side and Sakura sit on the middle while Naruto sit beside her on the right side. The police start the engine and comtinue to drive on the bumpy road, only for a few minute they'll arrive at their destination.

~timeskip~

As the car stop after crossing the bridge, one of the police officer said "The village is just up ahead." I'll go and have a look around, Sakura, Naruto, wait in the car with them." Leon tell them. "We'll stay and watch the car... don't want get any parking ticket." One of them says. "Right, parking ticket." Leon scoffs. "Good luck, you'll need it, sir." The other says. As Leon was about to get out, Sakura hold his jacket "Wait, maybe we can help you sir, seems like you might need one. We're good at fighting combat too." Leon look at them and explain "It's the best if you civilain didn't come with me, I'll look around for a moment." Leon finally go as Sakura and Naruto wait inside the car.

~small timeskip~

"Aah great, how long we'll be here dattebayo?" Naruto thought as he boredly look at the window along with Sakura just sit and look at the view too "Psst, Sakura chan, I was wondering what did you just explain to that guy when I was still pass out?" Naruto whisper to her as Sakura look at him and tell him "Nothing much, just lie to him that we're about to go hiking when I got slip because of mud and we both got rolled down here badly." She whisper to him as he nod. Sakura look at the view again only to have her eyes widen and a small gasp escape her lip when she notice that there's a truck going to attack them. "Guys! Watch out-" her word got cut off when the truck manage to crash them and Naruto and Sakura manage to get out from the car before it falls down, but such a shame that those two police officer didn't catch as they're still inside the car as it falls down. Sakura look down only to find the car upside down, and it move in the moving river as she cover her mouth "I failed, I can't save them." She thought negatively as she felt a hand on her shoulder "Don't feel pity Sakura chan, we must find Leon. I can felt that there's something off with this place." Naruto said as she nod, "You're not hurt right?" Sakura ask, Naruto shake his head witha grin, making a small chuckel from sakura. When they turn around, they find Leon running toward them "Are you two alright?" He ask, they nod firmly as Sakura ask "Leon, what just happening here?" "I don't know, but keep your guard up, seems like the polices didn't make it." Leon said as they nod again. And they went straight to the village.

While walking up ahead they notice a trap up on a tree as they slide between and heard a villager shout in Spanish, Leon is about to shoot him whether he like it or not when Sakura stop him "Don't waste your weapon, I'll handle this one." She smirk as she run to the villager, the villager was about to stab her with pitchfork when Sakura avoid it and took the pitchfork and kick him in the stomach to lose his balance. The villager manage to lose the balance as she tugged the pitchfork and throw him to the tree pretty hard that the villager's head pop off. Some villager coming to them as Naruto step up "Now it's my turn dattebayo." Naruto grin as he run to the villager and fight them all causing some of the villager's head to pop off and some get killed. Leon was secretly amaze at these two, turns out about what Sakura said is true. "Wow, I didn't know that you'll be telling the truth about you both can fight in combat." Leon amuse, making Sakura chuckel and Naruto smile "But, what happend with this place? Some head got pop out when I kick them really hard." Naruto confuse, looking at every corpse turning into dust. "I don't know neither, this is the first time I see this but we'll find out sooner or later." Leon said.

While they're walking a path to the village, Naruto heard something "Hey, did you guys heard the howl sound dattebayo?" "Yeah, but where?" Sakura ask as they finally spot a dog got caught in a trap as Sakura hurriedly went to the dog, and help the dog get out from the trap and patch the wound. The dog is very happy that the dog lick her as a thank you and run away. "Cute." She thought, she chuckel until she notice that Leon and Naruto were behind her all the time watching the scene. Her face flush in embaressment as she fake cough and said "W-well, let's keep going." She walk ahead follow by Leon who have a faint smirk and Naruto follow them with a giggle. They notice some small wire trap as they walk carefully and look around for the safe path. As they finally get to the safe path, they heard a man yelling in Spanish, making Leon force shoot him. They walk to a small shed, and look around if they could find anything useful until Leon and Naruto heard Sakura yelp in shock seeing a women been pinned with pitchfork on her head. It was really brutal to see this as Sakura gulp looking at it and look back, Naruto clench his hand, looking irritate, and Leon is a bit shock to see and in a second come back his normal expression "Come on let's go there's notching much in here."

They still have a long walk away from the entrance, as they walk upon the bridge, more villagers come to them as the three kill them. Sakura punch and kick every one of them, Naruto mostly kick them and throw them, while Leon either shoot or stab them.

As they coming across the gate, before they enter, Sakura ask Leon, "Leon, Why do you want to be here when we could've run away?" Naruto realize that actually we could've just get out of here but why Leon want to come here. "Sigh* actually I have a mission, I have to save the president's daughter and get out of here." Leon explain, he better tell the truth rather than let them question him every one hour. Beside, they can help him. "O-oh, then we'll be glad to help you." Sakura said, "Yep, we'll help you no matter what dattebayo." Naruto said, Leon glad about that as he look at them before they get in "I hope you're ready what you're facing now." They nod as they're ready to help him.

If you want part 2, tell me and I'll make it.
