#i like tbat other possible meaning to obito's name#also irl there was the emperor shōmu. who's name before ascension was “obito”#with that exact kanji “首”

@obitoslover oooh amazing info! <3

Pixiv Recs. Obito's name

Have I already mentioned I love the Japanese fandom for all the wonderful comic strips and doujinshi? Oh, do I love it! They inspire me so much to create mine. I haven't rec'd anything in a while because tumblr shadowbanned me for posting too many links last time xD But this one! Oh!

It's common knowledge in the fandom that the word KAKASHI means 'scarecrow', but what about OBITO? Ooooh, it has a meaning too ;) But it's such a rare, outdated word that even (some) Japanese are shocked at the revelation--judging by the comments on Pixiv to this bittersweet and touching comic:

✏ "The name he threw away" by さあり. Obito's parents discuss their soon-to-be-born son's name. I was not surprised by the meaning only bc it had been the first thing I looked up in the dictionary when I'd learned about the development of this character after 12 years of being out of the fandom :D Author's comment: "The man who spent most of his life under the aliases Tobi and Madara."

Translation: Obito's Dad: Have you decided on a name? Obito's Mom: Yes. I've searched books and thought about this a lot. Dad: We're expecting a boy, so his name must be intimidating to his enemies and very powerful. Mom: Powerful, yes. But I would like his name to be endowed with more than that… The name is very important. It is a gift given by parents to their child, the gift that stays with the child for life. If we disappear from his life someday, he will never forget our love because his name will still contain the intentions and thoughts we put into it. (Book: Character Meanings) Mom: Bringing people together and guiding them, leading the way for them… I want him to be such a leader. Dad: Leader? You mean you want him to become Hokage? Mom: He-he! He's your son after all. I wouldn't be surprised if he declares that one day! Dad: Actually, I haven't given up on the idea myself yet! Mom: My lovely child… Carry this name proudly, never forget it! And if you ever get lost on your way, reach out to it. In it is your essence. (Book -- 首 SHU/kubi; kashira, osa; obito "a person who leads" (tousotsu suru mono)). Mom: Obito. _____ In the manga Obito's name is written with a syllabic alphabet, but the word may be written with a character too.

首 'obito' - a hereditary title (kabane) in Yamato-period Japan (250–710 CE). Obito means 'leader, commander', also something like 'the man in charge' (e.g. an obito could be the head of a 'bemin' family (a small clan subservient to a more noble clan in Yamato), or the man in charge of some duty, or a professional).

The word seems to have originated from the word combination "oo hito" (lit. 'big [authoritative] person'), but it was never written with these two charactes. In fact obito is one of the readings of the character 首 SHU/kashira/kubi 'head, neck', which hints to the meaning (just like in English the word head also means 'chief').

And the author of this comic saw great irony here. 'Leader' who renounced his own name along with the feelings his parents put into it 💔 I loved it.

melting hips *cough* okay this fic feels just like this art! Thoughts, sads, downs, downs and ups -- and flowers. Planting flowers.

So beautiful!

He’s left Kakashi waiting for an answer to his question for too long. He brushes his thumb over the top of his hand.

“I’ll make sure they don’t wilt, too.”

This timelapse is a bit messy but my goal was to record some of my rendering process to show the way I paint. It's not a tutorial but it might give an idea of how I push my pixels around.

The video starts after the rough sketch is already in place and then there's a BIG gap somewhere in the middle where I figure out all the trees and tentacles. I thought the face might be the most interesting bit to focus on anyway. The video is little over three minutes but the entire process probably took closer to six hours, not counting the looooong breaks.

There isn't a lot of color in this and I painted almost all of it with a gradient map adjustment layer on top of everything, colorpick set to "current and below". I start painting above that at the very end when working on the eye. Other tricks used in this is a tilt-shift blur filter to add some depth, a final color balance adjustment and a high pass layer for final sharpness.

He so sharp <3

#yeeey! missed your gothic arts with the main goth of Naruto xD #he's lost #but he's treading on #he's resolute #boldly going into the darkness #dear dear photoshop #thanks for the art process!

As per last year's consensus, we will be doing prompt discussion posts again! Please do let us know (via ask, message, or comment on this post, however you like) if there are any of these prompts you'd particularly like us to highlight with one, we likely won't get to them all!

So, if you've been following me for a while, you might remember this unspecified naruto character that I have a feud going on with. While I was rewatching the Chunin exams arc 2022/23, I spotted this old fuck:

If you remember this time period of me posting, you might also know that I was quite pissed at him. He didn't do anything, but why is this minimum fourty year old fuck here??? That's not a shinobi, that's a distinguished gentleman. Get him out of the army. My man literally has his hitai-ate tied in a bow?? Hello??

But. It gets crazier.

you might think that this is a regular screenshot of mr.bow but NO! This is him still sitting in the exams room after the tenth question was asked. BOW MAN PASSED THE THEORETICAL CHUNIN EXAMS. That's crazy! This man probably was in the forest of death, IN THAT OUTFIT.

And if you thought that was all. Here's my new discovery-

HE'S CANON. HE EXISTS IN THE NARUTO MANGA THIS IS AN ACTUAL CHARACTER. NOT JUST SOME FUCKER MADE UP BY STUDIO PIERROT.

#LMAOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! #“distinguished gentleman” #i'm howling
