How exactly does SR change his batteries? Like is there a grace period before UCR takes over? Or does he just stand in front of a mirror and when he takes them out SR is just in the mirror void coaxing UCR to do the right thing for their family and put in the new ones, also sometimes promising him a dead squirrel or 2 next time he's out. (I love the mental image that in their nightstand is just a stack of fresh batteries in one drawer and roadkill in another that Lesley has the key to in order to stop UCR from gorging himself on "treats") sorry this got a little headcanony at the end I just really love your au.
This is basically how he does it 👇 step by step
He does it every so often 🔋🔋When hes running extremely low on energy he has to switch them out for newer ones

Do you ship Neji with anyone?
Hehe. I answered this once but I'll definitely talk more on it. I love Shikamaru/Neji, and considering I published fic for them as recently as of 2021 those feelings are still going strong. Generally I prefer my ships to have a little more, er, content, but they captured my imagination so what can I say ...
If my followers will forgive me for getting indulgent for a spell, there's something very charming about how, in the Sasuke Retrieval Arc, Neji is keeping up with Shikamaru.
When they're trapped by Jirobo, Neji seems a little surprised by Shikamaru's false surrender, but keeps quiet. Now he's not a loudmouth like Kiba and Naruto, but he's also not shy about speaking his mind. However, between his own observational skills, a likely respect for the command structure, and Choji's words, he doesn't interfere. He's then right in step with Shikamaru and Choji when the plan starts.
Neji then explains that he observed everything Shikamaru did (that the prison recovered from Kiba's attacks at different rates) and why Shikamaru spoke to the enemy and so on. We expect Choji to work well with Shikamaru 'cause they're besties, but Neji was essentially a stranger to them and he's right there with them because he can get why Shikamaru does what Shikamaru does.
When they break free, Neji briefly assumes command to stop Kiba and Naruto from attacking while Shikamaru is busy thinking of another solution. Shikamaru names Neji his second-in-command -- and I know it didn't come up earlier because it wasn't relevant to the story, but in a more Watsonian perspective, it seems like Shikamaru should have done this at mission start. Neji is the shinobi with the most experience there. So did Shikamaru just assume they wouldn't have to split up or he wouldn't die (optimistic) or would he prefer to evaluate someone's leadership potential before trusting the lives of his buddies to them? I'm more inclined to believe the latter.
From all this we gather that they're both intelligent, observant people who quickly gain a mutual respect of each other when asked to work together. I happen to be a big fan of relationships between people who are both strong-willed and opinionated leader types. Yes, they can clash, but so long as they're respectful of each other there's so much potential for an interesting dynamic to explore.
They're also both lowkey people with compatible lowkey hobbies (cloud gazing & bird watching, napping & meditating) who I think could just relax together, though Neji's got a more active personality to keep some of that spark and spice. Neji needs some relaxation in his life ... Shikamaru can be very tender and emotionally intelligent if he feels like it, and Neji could use that too. What does Shikamaru need? Someone who is unafraid to challenge him, haha.
In fact, figuring out what Shikamaru wants (answer: a hardass with a nice smile) is easy because we see it in canon, but what about Neji? That, my friends, is a separate post I will make because I get very sidetracked from just gushing about my little rarepair.
Thank you for the question! ♥ In the end, I stand by my opinion that so long as Neji is getting some love all's fair! I've read or at least seen art of every Neji ship that exists I'm pretty sure … I just want good things for him. ✌️ Also, if you want to talk more specific shippy stuff, feel free to hit me up on my Naruto sideblog @hallwaydodge!

hi okay i cant stomach watching the finale so i still havent seen it BUT i have an idea for s3: misty puts a wig on and pretends like shes nat. having full conversations with her(self) like a one man theater show
oh you’re not gonna believe this and i have no way to prove it but i literally spent all today thinking about how she should straighten her hair, dye it black, put on some emo eyeliner, change her wardrobe, smoke a cigarette, comically fail to smoke a cigarette, and start talking to herself in the mirror with a deep voice LIKEE me and you…twin flames fr…❤️
also we need to get back to jackie at the centre of shauna’s grief, jackie as the first haunting, jackie as the first deadalive girl we meet, dead before pit girl cuz that’s whose necklace she’s wearing. and if they can’t or don’t want to get ella for a ghost cameo then i’ll settle for shauna 🤝 misty: transforming their lives into an altar for the best friend they accidentally killed. shauna living the life jackie probs would’ve had, or what she thinks jackie would’ve had, what she’s punishing herself over and over each day. misty the closer, the fixer, undoing nat’s death by letting nat live by becoming nat except she can’t (on a literal level, and on a failgirl level bc it just ends up being shitty drag) HOWEVER i also love the idea of her refusing to grieve, literally turning away from nat’s ghost, bottling it all up, and eventually combusting by killing walter - who has been taking care of her without being asked to, essentially giving her a taste of her own medicine - bc she’s suffocating under the weight of it and bc she’s doomed to crush every single thing she holds in her hands etc. love wins <3 girls who chew on their bestie’s ears <3 girls who snort their bestie’s ashes <3
