#Also can I say that Villain!Shisui is kinda hot

[uchihashisui-kun]

What are the villain origin stories you can see?

Well, outside from some crack-ish idea (the one I posted about clan head Shisui killing the Elders wouldn't really happen, it was just fun to think about) so far I think I only have three AUs where Shisui is honestly a villain:

The first one is an Akatsuki AU where Itachi dies protecting him from Danzō. Obito, witnessing it all happen, approaches Shisui with promises of a better world, one where Itachi would be able to live again and be happy, and Shisui, clutching Itachi's lifeless body against his chest, thinking of all the times the village, the clan and everyone else has let them down, decides to join the Akatsuki to help Obito achieve the Tsuki no Me;

The second one is also an Akatsuki AU, where Obito watches as Shisui (who I hc being his younger brother) has to grow up alone after Obito's supposed death, and after Shisui awakens the Mangekyō and no one steps in to help him through this traumatizing experience, Obito simply decides to take him away from the village. Mikoto sees this happening while she's going with Itachi to the graveyard to pay her respects to Minato and Kushina's graves, she sees little Shisui and (masked, unrecognizable) Obito standing in front of the Memorial stone and she isn't fast enough to reach Shisui before he gets taken away with the Kamui

Years later, after so much time passed with an Obito who was manipulated and molded by Madara and Zetsu, Shisui has completely embraced the Tsuki no Me plan and while Obito uses Madara's name for himself, he uses Izuna's name as a placeholder until his identity is revealed during the Fourth War.

The massacre never happens in this AU, because the Uchiha clan joins forces with the Hokage and the Inuzuka to try and find Shisui even years after he got kidnapped, and by doing so they slowly mend their bond with the village, and during the war Shisui listens in disgust as Mikoto tells him about how much they tried to find and save him, while Shisui tells her that they never cared about him and only about his power, otherwise, clearly, a ten years old boy who just watched his best friend die and awakened the most traumatizing version of the Sharingan wouldn't have been congratulated on the 'achievement' and would have been helped and treated like the kid he was instead of a weapon to use;

The third and last AU is a Mokuton AU where Danzō approaches Shisui after he awakens the Mangekyō and promises him to help him, using his old friendship with Kagami as an excuse, saying how much he loved his friend and how much Kagami would hate him if he let his descendant alone in such a time of need. Shisui, alone and a kid and scared of how fast Fugaku is pushing to make him take the Chunin exams now that he got 'stronger' thanks to the Mangekyō, immediately trusts Danzō on his words and is coerced into joining ROOT and getting experimented on with Hashirama's cells.

Fast forward a handful of years, Shisui is completely loyal to Danzō, the only person who ever even remotely showed him any kind of affection (no matter how toxic it was), actively working from within the Uchiha clan to make things even worse, using his Mangekyō to convince Itachi to kill off the clan and trying to manipulate Sasuke into ROOT just like Danzō did with him. However, he fails, and after Sasuke kills off Danzō he takes up the position as the new ROOT leader and undermines Konoha from the inside, going as far as to try and brainwash Tsunade (but either Ao or a Hyūga catch onto it) and then trying to kill her when that doesn't work.

He purposefully orders every single ROOT operatives to not partecipate to the war and not give their aid to the Shinobi Alliance, and after the war has finished he gets banned from Konoha and branded as a traitor, and while most of ROOT comes with him (Shisui having used Kotoamatsukami on them to make sure that they'll never betray him), he still has some spies inside the village. Most of his hatred is for Sasuke because he killed Danzō, but he also has it for the village as a whole because they never understood Danzō's greatness and never understood his actions, with Homura and Koharu being the only two exception since they always were on Danzō's side. And yet, despite hating the village, Shisui wants to rule over it because that's what Danzō wanted, and his only wish is for Danzō's dream to live on.

When he was around thirteen he used a kunai to carve Danzō's name into his left hip while actively holding the Mokuton's healing factor back just to show him how much loyal he was to him. He still has the scar.

If you could draw, what would your style be? And what would you draw mainly? (eg: Sas with animals? Pairings with subtle power play?)

Oh wow, I like this ask~

For someone who can’t draw, style is maybe too much to talk about, anyway if I could draw I wouldn’t do chibi/too cutesy stuff, I wouldn’t do very realistic stuff or show a distinct ethnicity (whatever it might be, cause what I like about anime is that they’re beyond and better than these real life things). I wouldn’t draw them in a shojo-esque way (huge eyes, too slender, no shapes like shoulder/arms) or in a retro-shounen way, very muscled and sturdy. I’d pay attention to kishi’s details like the physical/behavioral/attitude differences between Sasuke and Itachi, Sasuke and N*ruto and so on.

I would always draw them resembling the original ones, but better lol, kinda like the artist/doujinka Tosyoen, or @kaleidoscope-1. I like slender but I mean slender like Lily’s art or Maco’s. I’d sometimes draw symbolic/abstract-ish pieces or I’d experiment, like this amazing drawing by @renamon15 (btw check all her gallery, cause as I’m here imagining what I’d draw she actually drew a lot of really beautiful art for real~). And I’d work hard to express all my fave characters’ inner/outer beauty and peculiarities, not to mention I’d draw a lot of Team Taka like @asacchi (I mean…have you seen this?).

As for the subjects, you nailed them…I’d definitely draw Sasuke and animals when I’d feel like drawing cuteness. Sasuke and his hawk, Sasuke and snakes, Sasuke and dogs (Sasuke and cats? not much cause everyone already does it), Sasuke and random birds cause I’m a bird person, and Sasuke with crows, because I think he would always think of his brother when seeing them and since he’s an animal lover and a beautiful soul, and crows are the smartest birds, they’d totally love him. Also they’re very sociable once they trust someone, in short, I’d love to draw this.

I’d draw some Itasasu, but since there are already many good artists drawing them, I’d mostly draw my favourite rare pairings, since I always complain the lack of content. Shisasu (Shisui/Sasuke), Madasasu, , Kakasasu (there is more stuff for them but still), Obisasu, Suisasu, Juusasu…but also Orosasu, Kibasasu that I recently mentioned, Shikasasu, Deisasu (I could also draw non Sasuke-centric pairings, but mostly I’d do Sasuke-centric ones, both crack/rare and canon behind the screen.

In all these pairings I’d add subtle (or not so subtle) power play. I see Sasuke as a strong fighter but a passive person in relationships, who’s attracted by strength and who doesn’t care about getting hurt if he has a goal, also someone with a low self esteem, who was made to believe he was worthless, both by Itachi and after the ending, and, this being added to the way Itachi loved and protected him makes him have a very twisted idea of love, which means his relationships would have a twisted vibe. Also, and this is something I explore in my writing and I would also do it in drawings, I’m interested in exploring the other characters’ dark side, not only that of villain-ish but also that of characters considered good, loyal and so on. Like Kakashi (who has a strong dark side) or even Shikamaru (who sought revenge and showed a sadistic attitude), and N*ruto himself, who’s obsessive and possessive over him. My imaginary drawings would also include dark Nar*sasu.

On the contrary Sasuke is often misunderstood as having a strong dark side while he is the purest, and his dark side (cause everyone has one) is not sadistic and selfish, it’s self-deprecating, self-effacing (cause he sees himself as a tool) and obsessed by his brother not in a possessive way but as the opposite, and especially post-ending his dark side is a consequence of the manipulations he suffered. And since his strong strategic reckless side has been shown in canon many times, I’d like to portray his vulnerable side instead, that canon showed more indirectly, and his passive attitude in relationships. Like, if he thinks that the other person wants/needs something and he can give it to him, he would, no matter what it is and if he can get hurt. I don’t just mean scenarios like submitting to an authority/stronger figure for a goal, but also, for example, becoming Juugo’s cage like he said, and letting the other take it out on him. Or doing the same (more or less) with Suigetsu who has a sadistic side that might hurt others if he doesn’t put himself in the way. Or like @une-amie suggested, Shiukamaru’s shadow bon/dage, and many other dark thingies, that would make a subtle power dynamic, cause no matter how strong Sasuke is, post ending he thinks he’s at fault so he’d never use it completely against Konoha and its people. 

Thinking about it, how could I not draw Itasasu, dark IS actually. Itachi’s detached possessiveness and his idea of knowing what’s best for Sasuke which is a form of possessiveness too, Sasuke’s adoration for him..it’s always inspiring.

I’d never draw very explicit smut cause certain body parts and positions imo aren’t aesthetically pleasing, but I’d draw more or less naked bodies, as long as not everything is shown, same for positions for…uh…lemons. And grapefruits lol. Like, bon/dage is hot in certain ways but when certain positions force the person in a crouched/ball-like position it becomes ridiculous to me. I’d basically go for stretched out bodies, exposed and showing vulnerability thus more power/control related. Also, I’d draw a lot of half naked, bandaged SAsuke, lots of blood and good looking wounds, lots of defiant Sasuke with some authority figure or opponents. You get it.

I’d draw stuff related to my fics, cause my fics are what I like to read so it’s only logical that if I could draw I’d illustrate them, and my headcanons, and the AUs I imagined. 

But I must say I am so lucky that actual artists drew things inspired by my fics which is really beautiful :)
