Ino and Sakura
Tumblr media
It's often said that Sakura cut off her ties with Ino for more reasons than just Sasuke. For some fans, she even did it because Ino was pushing her down purposefully in order to be always on top.
In that sense, and while this post has been written in another response, the other one will soon become a monster too huge to control, so I'll leave this here for better access and to better expand their relationship for those who are interested.
A warning you should know: Many images are shown while others are linked (pay attention to the underlined-bold words, they'll guide you to the image analyzed).
Despite the claims introduced before, on the panels we were shown their previous relationship during their childhood at no point did Ino seem to downgrade Sakura -either physically or mentally-, on the contrary, she's constantly shown trying to lift her spirits, like when she complements her looks:
Tumblr media
Let the world see that pretty face!! Strike a pose!
At no point did Ino downgrade Sakura or put herself above; telling Sakura to show confidence doesn’t automatically put her in a higher position in their friendship.
To explain myself further: providing help when someone needs it isn’t the same as putting oneself in a morally or physically superior position. Their relationship is of equals regardless of Ino supplying emotional support. The fact that Sakura inwardly elevates Ino's relevance in their dynamic isn’t Ino’s responsibility as everything Sakura thinks of Ino is never expressed (translated, Ino isn't aware of her position inside their friendship, as she's never told her relevance). Furthermore, Ino never states that she considers herself attractive or prettier than Sakura herself, every time they speak on the matter Ino tells Sakura to be more confident as she has a "pretty face".
Tumblr media
Him! Hah! He just struts around, acting like he’s so cool.
At no moment does Ino seem upset at Sakura for liking the same boy, in fact, she chooses to lie about how she feels for Sasuke in order not to start a conflict. This is, of course, not specified in canon, but since Ino doesn't display her feelings for Sasuke and, quite the contrary, she criticizes him, it's safe to assume she lied about her feelings.
And even if Ino is upset about Sakura liking the same boy as her, something that is neither expressed nor shown, she doesn’t act around it.
Furthermore, Sakura engages in conversations with Ino about Sasuke (Hey, Ino! Sasuke seems to like girls with long hair, so I’m going to grow mine…) and it doesn’t seem as if Ino dismisses the subject out of jealousy.
Everyone says you’re after Sasuke too, Ino…
I'm aware that some fans, specifically S//S and Saku-Ino fans, claim that Sakura assumed Ino liked Sasuke and Ino, in retaliation, started to like him back to make Sakura jealous (?), however, unlike those fans who think Ino's whole character revolves around Sakura (she is, indeed, a supporting character of her, but she outgrew her role to the point where she's barely seen with Sakura after the Chünin Exams) I do believe that Ino truly liked Sasuke and that she was indeed surprised by Sakura having equal feelings for him.
[I will here say that, personally, those who diminish Ino's feelings for Sasuke to use that "lesser" type of love (there's nothing like a "lesser" type of love, there're different ways to love someone. Caring for someone romantically doesn't reflect equally on each individual), as a justification why Sakura "deserved" Sasuke are carrying a sexist view inside their reading of the manga: Cartoon or not, Ino is still a representation of a woman yet, for them, she isn't as valuable as Sakura because she loved Sasuke in a different manner she did.
They're measuring Ino, Karin, and even Sakura's value by the way they display their respective feelings for a man.
In the same manner, Karin, who shows more sexual desire for Sasuke (I will not deny her romantical feelings, but she is clearly more driven by her sexual interest in him), is not less of a woman or less deserving of being with him because of the nature of her feelings.
There's no such thing as a "suffering-meter" that determines which character suffered the most out of love and, therefore, who deserves a happy ending with the object of their affection. That not only links love's nature primarily to suffering but also measures a person's romantic value in terms of how much pain they can endure (either for their significant other or provoked by their significant other).]
Again, Ino doesn’t act around her feelings for Sasuke (in the next flashback Ino -despite knowing Sasuke likes girls with long hair, keeps her own hair short) nor around her friend's attraction.
It was Sakura the one who decided to break their friendship because someone (unspecified) told her Ino liked Sasuke in the same way she did.
This is how we learn about their breakup:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 53
If it's true... that makes us rivals!
Keep in mind that, until then, we only knew Ino was Sakura’s rival, it's Shikamaru the one that introduces the idea of Sakura and Ino being best friends once, and we have these panels to understand a little bit more about their prior relationship.
This rumor is, in fact, truthful as they do become rivals -so why would Ino allow this break-up if she truly didn't like Sasuke? It makes absolutely no sense, meaning that this theory of Ino faking her attraction to Sasuke is completely false, as she canonically is infatuated with him. Furthermore, when confronted, she chooses not to lie about her romantic interest in him to Sakura. The expression of Ino when hearing Sakura’s words is “uh-oh!”, which means she was keeping her feelings secret from her friend.
In chapter 54, we have a sneak peek at Sakura’s development as a ninja: After Naruto and Sasuke fight Orochimaru (and pass out), and Lee sacrifices his well-being in order to save her from the Oto team, Sakura cuts her hair as to free herself from Kin’s hold. Up to this point, we know this part is significant because of what Sakura thinks before doing it, but by Ino’s reaction, there’s something far deeper going on (Hey, Ino! Sasuke seems to like girls with long hair, so I’m going to grow mine…).
Her attack against Zaku isn't successful and, after barely hurting him, she has no more energy to continue (so she bites him). And here's when we have Ino’s flashback:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Chapter 54 - The flashback continues but all have been addressed previously.
The rivalry was started solely by Sakura. There’s no denying that Ino took up on that rivalry and started to act consequentially, but she wasn’t the one initiating it.
Tumblr media
"I noticed your hair is lot longer, Ino" "What is it to you, Sakura?!!"
Let's acknowledge something, in this specific panel, it was Sakura who started their interaction (in a hostile manner, also) because she wanted to tell Ino about her position in Team 7.
She assumed Ino grew her hair long because of Sasuke -it isn't clear when was their fallout, but it must have been years prior to their graduation, so either they didn't see each other as much (or at all) since they went their separate ways, or Ino grew her hair long shortly after the beginning of the show, so there were at least a few years after their breakup when she still has her hair short.
It's safe to assume Ino did, in fact, keep her hair long for Sasuke's sake, yet it's not confirmed she did so to appeal to him, as she keeps growing it after his departure and it's shown how most people of her clan have their hair in a ponytail style, including her father.
So Ino, you'll never beat me now.
Despite some translations stating that Sakura said “I won’t lose to you anymore” (we were shown at no point in the manga how Sakura exactly lost against Ino), the official translation states otherwise -Sakura never exactly “lost” against Ino, nor Ino against Sakura.
Sakura's statement is based on Sasuke being on the same team as her, therefore, for this fact alone, Ino will never "win". Their whole rivalry is based on Sasuke. Now that Sakura is assigned to the same team as him, she has a better chance of winning his romantic reciprocation, therefore, Sakura's prospects are better than her rival's, which makes her the sole winner.
Yet, regardless of their mutual hostility, Ino still jumps to save her former friend, which means that she still has a deep connection with Sakura. Her face when remembering their childhood was a deeply troubled one, perhaps even mournful. In addition, by this point, Sasuke is unconscious: He isn’t able to see Ino’s heroic act, something Ino is aware of yet acts as if that is the sole reason why she jumped in.
After the fight, we have these panels:
Tumblr media
To put some context: Naruto asks Sakura who “these guys are” when seeing Shikamaru, Chöji, Lee, and Ino; and after Sakura “thanks them”, Ino thinks that she’s selling herself short. Ino is shown constantly either telling Sakura or thinking of her as someone pretty and capable yet still self-conscious, even tho Sakura would have likely died had Ino and Team 10 not intervened, as Sasuke awoke after their tactic failed. Ino and Team 10 were saved by Team Gai and Sasuke, not Sakura.
During their fight in the preliminary rounds (CH 71), Sakura is particularly cruel:
Tumblr media
First of all, she claims control and power of decision-making over a boy who has rejected her advances twice and who's not even present at the moment (he could, and honestly would, easily deny them both of the romantical reciprocation they sought). She starts their fight by trying to downgrade both Ino’s self-esteem (physically) and status in their “rivalry” (which she claims is now non-existent, as Sakura is the "winner" by being in the same team as Sasuke) -Ino’s words are a response to Sakura’s attitude.
[Kakashi saying that Sakura isn’t mean doesn’t make it automatically true -first, Kakashi doesn’t know Sakura that well as to claim she wouldn’t bully a person just because (she often displayed such an attitude towards Naruto during their first interactions, particularly when she told Sasuke that Naruto was annoying because he was parentless, Kakashi saw and knew none of that). Second, what he knows about Ino and Sakura’s relationship is what he read on a piece of paper -he knows nothing about how they actually interacted, nothing about their “power imbalance”, and, furthermore, he does nothing about Sakura’s insecurities -he hoped that Sakura would come around when the Chünin Exams came, but the whole reason she did so was because of Sasuke’s support.]
Sakura internally acknowledges Ino’s relevance in her life (1 and 2) yet none of that is actually told to Ino -who’s left in the dark. The last impression she possesses of Sakura is about her not being good enough to maintain a friendship outside their respective crushes on the same boy. Sakura, even without them being friends, still seeks Ino’s acknowledgment -the only one who is then made to do something for their relationship is Ino.
Tumblr media
Personal opinion: Sakura hasn’t surpassed Ino. Much less at this point in the manga.
It’s Sakura the one who makes their rivalry just about Sasuke (here), while Ino states that she will not allow her to “show her up” (thus, for her, it seems to be more than just their shared crush on a boy, even during Asuma's last speech he tells her not to allow Sakura to win in "ninjutsu and love"), Sakura solely focuses on being on the same team as Sasuke as a signal of superiority; something she did absolutely nothing to gain as it was mere luck:
The teams are to be balanced and that’s why they put the dead last (Naruto) with the Rookie of the Year (Sasuke), there’s no canonical mention of Sakura’s part in the matter. The belief that she was put there because she was the “brightest” is a fanon belief (x). Furthermore, according to the Report Cards in the First Fanbook, Ino was behind Sasuke; making her the second-best overall and the best kunoichi amongst them (x).
Furthermore, Kakashi specifically visits Naruto's house alongside the Hokage who introduces him to the team he'll be leading, and at no moment do they even mention Sakura.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile Ino, canonically speaking, would never be put on the same team as Sasuke, as she's the Yamanaka heir -her destiny was always to be with Chöji and Shikamaru.
Here
I’m not your little tag-along anymore Ino
Sakura says this in order to gain an emotional reaction -Ino is shocked by the words because she's never shown to consider Sakura to be what her former friend claims she used to be. Sakura is then painting the memories of their relationship in a negative light, downgrading it. What for Ino was a real friendship, to Sakura was a relationship of power.
[This is not a negative thing per se, Sakura needed a support system that Ino provided as she was too shy to socialize with anyone. What she's saying now is that she doesn't need Ino in order to interact with others. For Sakura is a positive thing, as she probably hated being "Ino's tag along", however, that doesn't change the negative impact that it has on Ino who never saw Sakura as a burden.]
Sakura's views of their dynamic diminish its relevance in her life and put Ino in the wrong (almost making her the abusive side of the relationship). Ino never reached for Sakura in order to make her her “tag-along”, Sakura was the one who put herself in that position.
I'm not blatantly denying Sakura's views on their former friendship, but from what we can see in canon, those views are either a lie she tells Ino to emotionally drag her during their match (stated before by Kakashi, she wants Ino to take her seriously), or a twisted version of the events transpired.
Much like with Sasuke, the fact that Sakura puts the weight of her well-being on another person’s shoulders means that she’s not responsible for the outcome or what her actions might entail: That’s why she makes Ino responsible for their fallout -hadn’t Ino liked the same boy, she wouldn’t have ended their relationship.
Sakura calling Ino a witch.
At the end of their fight, is Ino who -again, reaches out to Sakura and waits for her to wake, and, again: She gives her support.
We have a new interaction between them in CH 93 -where we see both of them visiting Sasuke in the hospital and bringing him a flower, there, we get to see them talking outside a ninja setting and inside Ino's flower shop.
1) It's established Sakura doesn't visit the flower shop until then.
2) They still bicker over Sasuke, the basis of their relationship hasn't changed after the Chünin Exams, but they seem to get along better.
3) Sakura learned the flowers' meaning in order to compete with Ino.
They even sit together in CH 99 to see the one-on-one fights of the last round of the exams, and while both Ino and Sakura are equally concerned about Sasuke, it's Ino the one who tells Sakura to cheer Naruto on during his match. How is Ino this "bad person who diminished Sakura" when she shows nothing but concern for her crush (Sasuke), her former friend (Sakura), and her rival's teammate (Naruto)? Furthermore, in CH 105, Ino realizes Sakura's change in mood when she admits (internally) to being somewhat jealous of Naruto.
After Shikamaru's match, once Sasuke appears, Ino compliments Sakura's team, praising both Sasuke and Naruto; Sakura's reaction isn't shown as the main focus is Lee -who hears Ino speaking-, but it amazes me how many people try to paint Ino's character as "shallow" and a "bully" when she has done nothing but encourage and praise those around her even when they're not close enough to hear her.
Then, after Sasuke's Retrieval Arc, Ino even goes as far as to look for Sakura once Shimamaru's team returns (x), and she even prioritizes Chöji before Sasuke (who they don't know actually left, x). How is Ino such a shallow, careless monster (who doesn't truly care for Sakura) if she goes out of her way to find her and inform her of their friends' return? Wouldn't have she taken the opportunity to visit Sasuke by herself? Wouldn't she have chosen to visit her crush first rather than Chöji if she was that obsessed with him and against Sakura?
In a way, and this is not to diminish some of the writing problems the author has, Ino is a nice representation of how Kishimoto is actually capable of writing a girl with a simple crush on a boy, who still prioritizes friends and comrades above the man she likes. Sakura's behavior, therefore, can't be attributed to Kishimoto not "knowing how to write women", but to him giving Sakura specific characteristics that just happen to be disliked by the fandom. In retaliation, her stans decide to blame such personality traits on his "incapability" to write female characters before giving them the actual relevance they have over Sakura's character.

Wait...what?!
Tumblr media
I'm sorry...this is hilarious, because canon paints the opposite picture!

(As an aside, Hiruzen knew who Orochimaru was referring to; my boy's just that beautiful!)
If I posted more on Karin, Sakura, and even Naruto, who endlessly uses the terms "pin-up pretty boy" and Kakkoii (cool and handsome) to refer to Sasuke, we'd be here all day; however, I've made two posts on this, so you can check them out here and here. I made one debunking the whole "inosaku have basis in canon, and that Ino was competing with Sasuke to get Sakura's affections (whatever the fuck that means) thing here, as well.
In the end, all I'm gonna say is this:

I'm curious why are you still stanning Sakura
Hi anon 👋
I'm not anymore, personally I liked her but her fans are so so toxic 😥 So that's why I am stop stanning her.
Her fandom ships her with anyone whom she disrespect/ignore for example ino. They were good friends but sakura ruined their relationship over a boy and she wanted to sai actually insulted her(ino)
Tumblr media
just how they ship her with ino or say they're bestfriend? They're more like "keep your friends close but your enemies closer" they have rivalry going between them , even asuma knows that
Tumblr media
They assume Naruto's crush for her is actually love and Naruto loves her, while actually what Naruto thinks about is only sasuke 🤷
And also Naruto and her doesn't talk that much and she's with Naruto cus Naruto's the one who can reach to sasuke so basically she's with him only for the sake of reaching to her sasuke kun.
The worst part is them shipping sasusaku and think sasuke loves her.....also don't forget about their stupid head canons....
They also hate sns , cuz Naruto comes between their favourite and sasuke
So they call sns brothers.... kishimato by doing Naruto and sasuke as ashura and indra's chakra inheritance gives the excuse to them and they use it and call sns, which i bet deep down in their heart they know Naruto and sasuke are lovers but they don't want to accept it!
And for me, I didn't have any problems with them shipping any of the ships in the above, i just enjoyed stanning sakura but recently their h homophobia things and calling sns brothers literally made me hate her.....💔 I was the fan who accept she's wrong and I never hype her that much....but tbh I like sns more than her so better stanning my boys till her. Also thanks for asking 💓

"NO Don't headcanon characters who were intended as male as actually being trans woman eggs based off irl transfem experiences and treat them as canonically female because of it,that's lazy and offensive and not actually caring about women!!!"And then y'all don't care about characters who were intended as girls in canon unless it's to prop up male characters or use them as token 'mean lesbians' and bash canon tgirls

Studio Pierrot is biased and openly favours hinata.
SP’s director’s and many animator’s favourite waifu is hinata and they aren’t ashamed to flatter her.
One of many examples: Studio Pierrot changes hinata to make her more stereotypically attractive and feminine.
They also are simultaneously making Sakura uglier and exclude other girls like Ino,Tenten and Karin from most fillers,but this topic itself is worth a whole different post.
I can already hear hinata fans barking:
🤡:Studio Pierrot changes everyone, it is a part of their animation style!
No,it is not because they change ONLY hinata to the better.

Sakura, your friendly neighborhood shipping plot-device!
Sakura stans holler about Incels reducing her down to a mere pussy, but they're the other side of this dreadful coin. Fitting the moniker like a neat glove. Funny thing is, the version of Sakura they happen to like is a far-cry from canon; in fact, it showcases no semblance of her canon characterization and is custom-tailored to fit in with their horrifically blatant self-inserting shipping preferences:
1) The Sakura that gets penetrated by Kakashi has the idea of a "mature and womanly Sakura" behind it; someone who's wise beyond her years, enough to see the man in Kakashi and the boy in Sasuke (it's very popular with the lonely soccer moms with scant sex-lives, so they're hoping to get their groove on with this "revolutionary" self-inserting method that's more rotten than the prostate of a retired Shinobi from the first Great Shinobi War, which Sakura was assigned to examine); her journey is the journey of romance maturity, from girlhood to womanhood, basically, with some comical doctor plot on the side; and Kakashi's cawk is the metaphor for that ripening. Five claps for this deeeeeeep ship!
2) If they climb one step down from the mature-est totem pole, Uchiha Itachi is their numero uno dick bit, who's, in their hearts and minds, and in spite of his disease, the holder of the greatest Uchiha cawk the Shadow Villages have ever seen. It just shrunk away with the disease; so this Sakura just waltzes over there and fixes that limp wee-spilling thing in a jiffy, and it's dick-nirvana, afterwards. The whole plot is basically dicking following the fixing. Another very cheap doctor-doctor plot. That's what your parents warned you about.
3) One step lower is the man's man Uchiha Madara. Now, he's a wee bit aggressive for their sensible tastes (he just shoved a rod up there without her consent, and on the battlefield, too; by God, the nerve!). So what they do is that, either she plays doctor-doctor with Izuna and Madara just pulls his very manly tented up jorts down for her and rizzes up a storm in her cunt; or she heals the whole clan like a discount final fantasy healer, and he drops his jorts, brother, and his mission to get even with the Senju. Basically, just the whole warring plot is dropped because ... well, pussy. You see, how canon Sakura is totally not reduced to just a pussy in these pairings? Me neither. (Sometimes, the Obito ship is not-so-tacity snuck in there, and Obito just drops Rin on the head and she tumbles down and breaks her crown and Sakura has a free slot now, ya know? I mean, where else would she go? If a space is free, the girl's gotta take it!)
4) At the bottom of the Uchiha barrel is Sasuke, of course, because you can't dare to exercise your sexual autonomy if you're a man. That's a woman's prerogative. You can't guard your life against her assault, as well, because that's just woman and lesbian battery, even if she's not a lesbian, because she could have been a lesbian, you know? Are you all misogynistic lesbian-phobes? How dare you! You must be anti-black and racist, too (these are real accusations, by the way, just to be clear).
So it's Sasuke that's got to chase after her now, because feminism (?) bitch! Realize his "justice-seeking" mistakes (involving his very butchered clan and the very fascist state that sanctioned his torture and murder, as well) and see the light shine out from her rear-side because that's what dreams and Will of Fire are made of!
5) Fear not, because Sakura needn't be limited to a single man. No, if the writer can't decide whomst she wanks harder to, all the Sharingan-sporting men are in, competing with her pussy in abhorrently sexist narratives that reduce men down to their pricks, because why the fuck now? (This is what the damned Incels keep prattling on about in their "pop-evo science" manifestos, and Sakura Fandom's entire writing repository just exists to legitimize them, alpha men competing to get the best pussy; how feminist, much progressive!) Reverse-sexism is the coolest shit in modern neo-liberal feminism! In these heart-felt, cunt-juice-soaked, and highly innovative eroticas, she's a neo-liberal of the pop-feminist variety and the nifty semen-collecting pot for the all the hot Uchiha men (no one's never ever written anything like this before, amirite? The uncharted territory of gang-bangs!). They gotta be hot, folks! There, her doctor-doctor skills are stretched to oblivion and beyond, and if any Uchiha so much has a ball-scratch, she's there, fam, herbal wizardry in her hands, because she's got the best chakra control ever! (Just say that she's fondling their balls, man, but they gotta complicate this shit and make it sound so very deeeep, as if the plum-molestations are a factor of philosophical musings on the dire military system; what fucking crack are you lot on?!) Then they just dick her by turns and the massacre never happens, and that's all she wrote. Kishimoto, you randy dog you, where's the Uchiha-ball-fondling plot-device? It'd have saved the world a lot of trouble. Uchiha Curse of Hatred cured, too!
6) Well, what if I don't fancy the Uchiha men, huh?! There, there, the Senju bros are here to drill new love-tunnels into her...err, carnal flesh and sinful spirit and devilish nates or something. Hashirama just flings Mito out, because fuck you! military alliances for the stability of a fragile village, and his Mokuton gardening machine can't seem to rest, forever busy planting wills into her village boiler! And Tobirama's suiton? It just flows out of her...just everywhere, ya know? Have you seen the man's fur? They'd take it anywhere. And, yes, the village is solidified, fascism strengthened, because Sakura played doctor-doctor again and, through her wizardry, invented a medicine that cured that Uchiha cancer or something of the sort. They're proud of her, and they dick her proudly, too; and that earns her a place on the monument, very proudly again. And she's the wah-men Hokage in their place! Women can be fascists, too, you guys! (And sometimes, when the night is thundering, Minato, too, flies and thunder gods his way into her hole, because quick-draw MacSenju!)
7) If the number is too small because we need sexual liberation, she's just run through by the whole Anbu Army. (No, there's literally a fan-fiction out there that does this; it's called Come into my bed Faceless Stranger by Pleasedial123; Faceless Stranger ought to have a comma before it, but it isn't as if these slavering cretins can write; and may god help you.) With Sakura, you can play doctor-doctor and make comfort-women hip again! You can try it, too. Fun for the whole family!
8) Not into the alpha bad boys that only stomp on the little girlies' hearts and leave them with anxiety, woe, and a possible un-aborted burden? Then "beat it, bitch, believe it!" Uzumaki Naruto is your ticket. (Maybe Lee, too, but man's a bowl-cut-wearing road-kill; come on!) Sakura shows Naruto what real-real girls are, and Sasuke was just a bad man, anyway. Girls, you gotta save your vag...hearts for the right kind of guys! The normies, because the chad-sukes are the reasons why you can't stop reading the "10 signs he's into you!" buzzfeed articles. Do you want to spiral down again, huh, huh?! Make the right choice, or be a single mom! That Sarada mouth won't feed itself!
9) What if she was a closeted lesbian and the Sasuke-chase was fake news? A search for a metaphorical coochie beard? Just by existing, Sasuke punched the lesbian out of her, blasted her off again (like that pokemon flight), and stung her with a straight disease that traveled from her cunt and infected her brain. My goodness, I'm onto something. It was Inosaku all along, wasn't it? Checks notes on some threadbare lesbian fan-fic set in the pre-warring era, with time-traveling thrown into the mix! Yes, yes, yes, I can see it now! Can you? It's right there, off that panel, about five inches off all panels. Hater!
10) If living and breathing men don't do it for you (or it's mostly that you don't do it for them), and your discount-sex-toy bills are reaching up to the sky, middle-aged doll-faced-and-bodied, literally, men are your thing, of course. Sasori is like your under-the-bed plastic ken your mum never knew about; just lay him out on the bed and stick it in, provided that it's clean, of course; but cleaning equipment doesn't come cheap and man (or wo-man) is a horny creature of means. Why doesn't it self-clean? That's how the sasosaku cult is born: a doll-man that self-grooms; all you gotta do is write him and he'd shag your tunnel with his plastic pole, like jutsu magic! It exists at room temperature, so suspension of disbelief is a must here. And she can play doctor-doctor here, too, and turn Sasori into a reeeaaal boy, uh, middle-aged man, but you get the idea; but now, he'd probably require the aid of ninja-viagra just to take the piss, so choices choices. Life is so hard for a shipper!
Throw in some highly flimsy philosophical tirades from back when you were five and maintained a diary on Fox News or CNN's riveting reporting on Iraq War; and you're pretty much set. They're into that sort of penis, the one penis that they've got a very abusive relationship with. Ya know, one they hide under the trash in their bathrooms' dustbin? Between this and all of the above, we basically have what amounts to one giant sweaty neck-beard, only its female version. You can always smell the stink of neck-beard off this lot in spades.
Yes, I'm done with the jokes, but this is a problem with this fandom. Pick out any Sakura from any of these "versions" and it's wildly different from all the others. The monogamy one has varied gradations across which doctor-doctor circus-show she's putting on for that particular story. And the polyamory ones, in which all the Uchiha men just empty out their bank-accounts into her fittable parts in the name of warring states' liberation (yes, you heard that right; these are real plots, written by real people, and typed by real hands), have their own "doctoring" clichés; and none of them, not one, is anything like the canon version.
These stans aren't even interested in the exploration of her canon counterpart: In a world full of monstrously competent shinobi from exalted pedigrees, she's a fish out of water, a fool, a wall-flower, a naive soldier, and a hopeless dreamer. No, none of these are apparently important; what's important to them is to cut down some character that they dislikes, which is almost always Sasuke, and to pair her off with the character they personally find attractive. The haze of a plot is just there to get her from point A, liberation from a supposedly "abusive" relationship, to point B, a realization of a capitalistic dream: a place in the status quo among powerful rich men who, unlike canon, make her the center of their attention, world, purpose. She is their purpose! So if Kishimoto's Sakura is "problematic" for being obsessed with male attention, what would you call this gargantuan insecurity on display, a desire to be noticed, courted, and desired by the men that matter? If you lot weren't obsessed with male attention, a very specific male attention, you wouldn't be writing half of this, and Lee would've been your best pick. Why isn't he? He doesn't matter. Ding-ding-ding!
And in all of these Hagormo-forsaken fan-fictions, she turns into such a fucking militaristic cunt-bag that she just exists to be a Sasuke clone, steal his abilities, and teach him a lesson that your clan, fam, had to go! All the men that I want to fuck? They're philosophically on the star-wars-esque higher ground. This genocide must go on! And she's such a fucking edgelord in these, pretty much the whole made-up wrist-maiming emo-shebang her fandom accuses Sasuke of. She's very angry about...something, and it's never that deep that you almost hear yourself yell, go outside and touch grass, Sakura, you fucking loser! She's his spitting image, only with a cunt, a hefty shovel-in-the-face mug, and no purpose that goes against being a hyper-charged jingoistic bitch. She opens everyone's eyes to...pretty much nothing as they all exist to put her on a pedestal as if she just popped out of something's asshole that one-upped Kaguya in the celestial playground or something. Nothing political is even remotely touched; all the vague politics just exist to push her through this bizarro world power-fantasy in which Sasuke must pay, because...why? There's never any reason given. He just must, because romance tropes and its boot-in-our-face rejection by canon; and its flimsy connection with the desecration of women-kind world-over. How does this reasoning even begin to take off the ground? How does this "scorned woman so master-race female-warrior" apparatus function? How does this lot operate? Unless, it's not a very poor attempt at lampoon, it's a mystery. Tobirama, if he were real, ought to have dissected their brains, as it's they who suffer quite aggressively from the Uchiha Curse of Hatred as she's either hating one Uchiha to fuck the other; or she's fucking all Uchiha to contain the hatred. It's a curse, man!
And here's the thing about obsessions with fiction or all things fictional: not all obsessions are equal! There's a difference between obsessions, and that's what's so bothersome to me. There's a great difference between obsessing over a character that can be magnified in a way that it's larger than life and settles itself cleanly into life to put across a poignant argument about so and so aspects of humanity as the grand collective, not the mundane individual. Then there's a character that squarely exists in the mundane, an aspect that's so minute, repetitive, and boring that you can't magnify it in a manner that matters. That's the reason why the obsession with Sakura is so fucking stupid, shameful, and pathetic: she's just some pointless girl in a world where she doesn't matter, an ant in the battle between giants, irrespective of their ideological divides. Why would you even want to make a character like that relevant? What's the purpose of it? To bring her middle-class-esque struggles to the fore and push generational trauma wrought by decades of socio-political divides to the back, one of which created the great valley, physical and metaphorical? You're fucking kidding me, right?
And funny story that how they choose the very giants to make her relevant by crafting her in a manner that she becomes the center of their lives. And I'm supposed to believe that they don't obsess over the chud-manifesto written about alpha men that the Jorden-Peterson-ballsack sniffing Incels write, internalize, and preach like gospel? You lot inhabit the very caricature that they pen about with great passion! Aren't you proud of yourselves? Their whole problem is that Sakura chased after some "alpha", but no "alpha" threw her a bone; and their entire discourse on "Sakura deserved better!", down to the last itty-bitty detail, exists to remedy that problem where all "alpha" men battle it out to serve her pussy or something, notice her with singular focus, and validate her existence till their own disappears. God, just typing this I'm ashamed to be in the same gender as them; but hey, Kishimoto made her whole life revolve around men, didn't he? The genius of this fandom to not only not turn the tables but also stack several tables on top of this "desirability by alpha men" obsession that this neck-beard lot can't seem to let go of, all because that one boy-chad-alpha refused to touch her! Sakura Fandom, almost all of it, is brimming full with nothing but scorned-by-a-cartoon-little-boy-chad-ultra-alpha femcels; and the super knee-deep discourse they type out? Just compare it to the one the Incels engage in and reverse the sex, and you'd get what I mean.
So very candidly speaking, even when it isn't about the men, apparently, Sakura's character is still very much about the men. Not a man, like that loser Lee, but the men. You know, the important kind. The movers and shakers of the world. The alpha men, which the Incels swear have been stealing their women since the last two epochs, who matter in the Shinobi economy! The issue wasn't that Sakura had her life built around men; it's that men didn't have their lives built around her. Pick out any of these shite masturbatory fan-fictions and show them to me, and I can guarantee you that none escape these tropes. Not one! And the issue isn't even that these lonely women project harder on Sakura than most Incels do on Hinata (they just mount the physical manifestation of it in all its plastic glory and cry about it for a bit like normal losers); it's that they take this so fucking seriously and inject it into feminist discourse, which is...fucking crazy talk! It's wank material. Quit it with trying to exalt it into something it's not. I wish you lot fought your own demons first and then took on the cartoon boy-demons in shonen who rattle your timid pussies into jittery motions; but we just can't have the nice things, now, can we? Jesus...go back to your mum, for we are doomed!

Tag Game (look at me Ma' first participation in a tag game! 🎉 )
@wlwsakura I had to do a triple take seeing my name 😵‍💫, I am flattered at the tag pass.
Three Ships:
-Edeleth (female Byleth Eisner and Edelgard Von Hresvelg, Fire Emblem: Three Houses) they stole my heart back in when the game dropped with everything about them when shipped together. (Being vague on purpose to avoid spoilers for the Crimson Rose/Black Eagles route for any who may want to experience it blind) In specific female Byleth getting some exclusive scenes with Edelgard, and how their story shifts with the added element of a female Byleth in connection to certain story points that are kind of not as poignant in other routes or ships really makes me ship it more compared to male Byleth and Edelgard.
-Supercorp (Kara Zor El/Kara Danvers/ Supergirl and Lena Luthor from 2015's Supergirl) I have spilled my guts about them a fair amount already. The wlw ship that helped me realize I was not as straight as I thought because of how fond I was of certain same sex friends. They were so couple coded, and it really stinks (older) supercorp shippers went through what they went through by the network, show runners, comic book anti woke mob, other Supergirl TV show fans, other lgbtqi+ aligned people, and homophobes for calling Lena and Kara what they were.
-I wanted to try showing variety for my ships into bl/mlm or hetero ships, but I got to end with InoSaku (Ino Yamanak and Sakura Haruno from Naruto).
I got so much going on with this ship on some different layers.
Way back when I was introduced to Naruto via the anime, I was not at all a fan of Sakura. Looking back I might have been best described as a "Sakura Hater", but having done some growing and having been reminded of Sakura as a female character in a shonen all this time later, I now have realized how unfair I was being to this fictional character for things well out of her control (Kishimoto's bad writing, how women characters are usually treated in shonen animes, served with a side helping of internalized misogyny on my part).
The realization at all the unnecessary hate at a fictional character who couldn't fight the tropes she was writen with made me re evaluate Sakura, and I realized she isn't so bad. No worse than any other Rookie 9.
Along side that re analysize I realized how gay-rivals-to-lovers coded Sakura and Ino are, and how much of a missed opportunity they were. So now they haunt me.
First Ship Ever: hard to remember but either Sanae Ozora and Tsubasa (Captain Tsubasa) or Ranma and Akane (Ranma 1/2)

I love your art!! Don't listen to the anti's they're literal 8 year olds out here being keyboard warriors for 33yr old drawings that do not care.💀 if you have the time and if you'd enjoy it/ship it Id love to see some inosaku and Narusasu 🌶 or whatever you'd prefer🥺 to me they're the real power couples of the show😈💯 your art styles are amazing and I have really enjoyed all of your artworks!! I can tell you put your heart and soul into it and it's stunning!
Hi Non.e!! 
I read your ask a few times, but I’m not really sure what you mean with the first part, sorry! But I’m happy to hear you like my art and that you feel that I put a piece of myself in it, because I do try to do that always!! 💕 I appreciate it 🥰 Well, if I had to choose NaruSasu/SNS is of course always my #1 choice, I don’t ship InoSaku, but I can maybe make something in the near future just for fun.
I just wanted to reply to you and let you know that I’ll do a full render for you since you’ve sent this a while back and it’ll be done hopefully tomorrow- I’m sketching it now:

🧡 thank you for requesting *-*
