#I think naruto had one too

[glassygate]

At this point, "fandom goes through the 'Batman adopts the MC' phase" is pretty much a norm for all teenage (super)hero series.

#Batman #Danny phantom #Miraculous ladybug #Harry potter #Tmnt #That one is canon though #Danny phantom again #Not sure if it ever really ended though #I think naruto had one too #And atla #Superhero #Rwby #Fanfiction #Trying to remember all those fanfic trends from over the years...

#dude is trauma embodiment #minato i love you but what were you thinking putting him in anbu #i bet dude even had trauma from minato and kushinas death too because it's the one day he wasn't guarding kushina when the ninetails attack #dude needs all the therapy and support #kakashi hatake #kakashi #naruto

naruto crack au where kakashi manages to successfully drill the "never abandon your comrades" thing into team seven's heads

so when sasuke deserts naruto and sakura immediately desert with him. like he gets to the village gates and they're just waiting for him bags packed like "what took u so long we doing this or what"

he tries to get them to go back bc of course he does. "no you losers this is about me i'm going to kill my brother. also i'll have to kill my best friend for the super sharingan and you two are like the only people i talk to". but they do not listen. teamwork sasuke we will defeat your brother (OUR brother #communism) with the power of teamwork. just like kakashi-sensei said

suddenly orochimaru has to deal with three horrible little goblins with an even more codependent relationship than his old team

#naruto #team seven #orochimaru's favorite is sakura bc she's smart and respectful and gives kabuto headaches #kabuto's favorite is naruto bc he thinks he's funny #nobody's favorite is sasuke. he's fine with that tho #also sakura can still summon slugs she made a bet with tsunade ahead of time for the right to make the contract #kakashi keeps trying to get his team back but keeps approaching them one on one #which always ends in whoever he's talking to going ''i can't abandon my teammates sensei wtf'' #obito is watching all of this from the bushes and laughing his ass off #the sound five live bc. nobody bothered to tell tsunade team seven had left until it was way too late #orochimaru keeps her updated tho #every time kakashi tries to sneak in and steal his kids back oro sends him back with pictures of how they're doing #''little sakura-chan is making excellent progress with chakra scalpels! you must be so proud! oh wait'' #she hopes he dies #oro tells naruto who his parents are to spite jiraiya #unfortunately he does this when they're all still annoying little thirteen-year-old shitheads #so sakura and sasuke are both furious and don't talk to either of them for a day #they don't even know what they're mad about they're just Mad #meanwhile sakura's parents are happy to hear she's doing well and hope she writes soon #they don't. they don't really get the treason thing #team hebi/taka still forms ofc #it's an absolute disaster #sakura's a little sad when they finally ditch orochimaru bc she'd actually really enjoyed learning from him #like yeah he was an absolutely horrible human being but. she learned a lot! #he comes back later ofc #there's sorta an awkward moment when naruto finds out gaara got abducted and demands to go after him #sasuke: ok have fun #sakura: we're going too #sasuke: fuck #orochimaru: tell sasori i said hiiiii~ <3

[wyrdle]

role swap au (Tsunade and Orochimaru only at least??)

Despite appearances, Orochimaru is Hokage here, but he’s not suuuuper keen about it hence the lack of the hat and only a minor sash to indicate his position. More info on the au here I guess, not really fleshed out or anything lol.

Bonus:

#naruto #orochimaru #tsunade #jiraiya #hokage orochimaru #nukenin tsunade #thoooo #i think this tsunade is more redeemable than how canon went about orochimaru's redemption lol #probs naruto is the one to get through to her #through their shared uzumaki heritage #idk #im not thinking too much about it #besides oro and naruto interactions that are cute #and tsunade being terrifying #also that unlike tsunade in canon #oro as hokage is more sympathetic and emotional in regards to her #because canon him has always had more of a soft spot for her i guess #role swap au #sannin au

#naruto #naruto shippuden #mygif #edit #send post #edit: I was gonna post this one last but like I remembered Hashirama's birthday and so I will be posting that gifset on his birthday #Obviously one or two words were changed here to make it fit #shout-out tumblr user sasukelandia for making the post that gave me this idea in the first place #I was gonna remove the ''god-fearing tax-paying'' part but like. it's integral to the quote. #I generally don't want to change up the quotes TOO much I have like. a weird thing against it. a weird personal thing. #so assume ''god'' here is the concept of the village itself and ''tax-paying'' is being a ninja lol #You could imagine that it's Nagato saying this but tbh when I was making this I was going for a general vibe #many rogue ninja could not make it into this gifset and I apologize to them #Btw y'all ever think about how cold it is for the Akatsuki to wear headbands with their old village symbol crossed out #Other rogue nin either don't wear the headband anymore or simply keep it without changing it much #Whoever had the crossing out the headband as a uniform to send a message idea was a genius. I am going to pretend that Konan was the one who #came up with it. I also think she came up with the robes as well. #There are some good things in Naruto. #Hidden villages rogue ninja dehumanization is insane the fact that leaving your village is a death sentence.......... #They had a bounty on 12 year old baby-faced Sasuke's head for leaving to a place in which he was almost certain to be killed........... #fucking hell. anyways. #sincerely hope this colouring is better than for the Hashirama one lmao #6th gif gave me so much grief with the file size #Those tsukuyomi filler episodes with cop Sasuke were AWFUL but at least they gave me a good visual for the 3rd gif so. #everything has its uses! #naruto // black sails #queuekage

[everyneji]

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!

#not everyneji #ask #long post #neji hyuga #shikaneji #.i had to rewrite this whole damn thing bc u backspace once tumblr deletes ur whole damn post #.ok so wanna talk abt what i'm writing its a rly long post series neji lives shikaneji au #.its playing on the conceit of this naruto sd episode but played straight (neji fake dating naruto to test his worthiness for hinata) #.but that's just the inciting incident for the first part of the story #.it's really about young adulthood and grief and trauma and martyrdom #.and thinking you're too smart for feelings to surprise you #.its where i dump all my neji feelings when i get overwhelmed #.if i reference writing a fic on here it's most certainly that one

[opens-up-4-nobody]

hi your art is super adorable! 🥺🤲 idk if you take requests but iruka taking care of baby sasuke is sth i would've loved to see in the series and your fanarts made me think of that love your art lots! 💖

AU where itachi observes iruka being emotionally intelligent and shoves sasuke into his arms

#i just love the idea of itachi watching iruka treat kids like kids and him being like: i am begging u to save my brother from my fate #i mean if we go with canon ages here. we have like 12yo itachi observing 15yo iruka taking care of 5yo naruto #and that makes me so sad. bc by 5yo itachi had already been dragged out onto the aftermath of a battle field by his bastard father :-( #hhhh and if sasuke get healthy exposure to how to deal with emotions and has a closer relationship with iruka before his parents die. #which iruka can relate to. his parents having been violently obliterated. then he could deal with the death of his clan in a less crazy way #and he could be a kid for a lil bit #hhhi just love the idea of iruka gaining sasukes trust post massicure by being like: hey sasuke can u help me and naruto do X thing? #hey sasuke im feeling sad. can i have a hug? u dont think weak right? so it cant be weak to cry #and just demonstrating how to deal with emotions hhhhh i love him so much #god this is too much text tho #hhhhh ive got all the itachi feels rn. he makes me so sad 🥲 #this is another one that's been rotating in my head 😵‍💫 #uchiha itachi #uzumaki naruto #umino iruka #hatake kakashi #uchiha sasuke #naruto

summons⁉️

#i also considered crocodiles and hippos but decided to stick with animals you can find in japan #(tried to draw a dragon too but for something thats supposed to be a sketch it was gonna b too much) #anyways i think it'd be funny if hashirama had a summon that was *supposed* to be a non-threatening forest creature #like a squirrel or a rabbit #but he ends up with one of those creepy hares that looks like its seen god #tobirama senju #doodletag #naruto blog for nauruto things

[team7-headquarter]

You know how Naruto has an actual legendary beast who killed his parents inside of him that is constantly messing with him around and Sasuke has the voice of his older brother who killed the whole Uchiha clan on his mind constantly pushing him around.

And then Sakura has like,,,, her repressed feelings that are actually strong enough to break the Yamanaka clan jutsu and be considered a second spirit on its own.

Everyone there was dealing with loads of traumas and Sakura's was just the experience of being a bullied pre-teen girl with no nepotism on her side.

#YOU DON'T KNOW HER LIKE I DO #Sometimes I think about how Ino is the only one who has met Inner and no one would ever get the craziness of it #She's a true bestie rival because she just continued with her life like nothing had happened #LIKE SKDJLDKD INO COULD PULL THAT CARD ANYTIME AGAINST ANYONE #Also convinced Inner calmed down after Tsunade taught Sakura had to deal with her frustration in the form of chakra induced fists #Didn't dissappear completely but now Sakura is too busy and constantly focused or distracted #naruto #sakura haruno #naruto uzumaki #Sasuke uchiha #team 7

[hydrasaura]

when i said that mha ripped off naruto (which i said only to piss off mha stans anyway) I didn't mean to sound like i was praising naruto. it was actually more like a sigh of disappointment, a reaction to seeing that all the problems that naruto had as a show transpired trough mha too and i was tired because watching naruto was enough for me but then i realized that my problem actually is that i can no longer stand watching shonen anime and i chose not to tire myself by cringing at the repetitive tropes and cliches anymore

#demon slayer falls under the same category sadly #actually it was more a combination of these 2 that made me realize that i had enough of this genre #me judging other shonen having as reference only naruto #but look! i watched both mha and demon slayer and my personal point was proven that i would get bored by them #(with the exception of some rare moments that were really good in mha but the bad and cringe moments made me forget abt them) #like i remember crying bcs this dude who trained deku died but then i remembered that a few episodes earlier he ''punished'' #one of his female students by tying her up a ledge and tickling her with a feather :| #LIKE WHY DID YOU NEED TO PUT THAT IN THE STORY? HORIKOSHI OR WHATEVER THE MANGAKA'S NAME IS #WHY YOU FELT THE NEED TO ADD THAT IN??? #and then you tried to make me feel sorry for the guy too? #that was such a jiraya death moment like they were playing it a sad but all i could think abt was ''rip bozo'' #not saying that other anime don't have cringe moments. even moments that i had to skip because of how gruesome they were #but they sorta make sense in the big picture of the story? but other characters experience it too not just a category of people? idk #also it's funny how pissed mha stans get for having their show insulted like #when i tell ppl that my fave anime/manga are evangelion; black lagoon #and berserk they look at me like i deserve to be put in an electric chair #like they are right but at the same time i find it funny and i rly don't care #but these guys always go bananas if you insult their fav show as if you broke the geneva convention #i'd say that it's because the majority of the fans are children but i know for a fact that they are not 😭

captain “we can’t afford compassion” yamato strikes again 

#😭😭😭 #okay #first of all #'it doesn't matter whether the things you do for him are great or small' - probably top ten naruto lines for me #second of all #yamato's original mission with team kakashi may have gone off the rails pretty quickly #but the way he handles each individual kid is so effective #this conversation with sakura? perfect #making the executive decision to tell naruto 'the one who injured sakura was you'/the whole 'forget the fox; use your own strength' speech? #masterful #quietly anticipating sai's every move because he used to BE sai in another life? showstopping #THIRD of all - #yamato almost never does these kinds of 'i'm gonna talk about Feelings' conversations #and in this case when he does - #well not to put too fine a point on it but #i think if sakura had had this conversation with gai she might have gotten surprisingly similar advice #naruto #a true equal #team kakashi #*

[krys-loves-otome]

Hello Krys~ Sending hugs!! 💕💕 I remember reading one of your old posts about how Ryou Bakura was your muse. I absolutely love the cutie (and wish they gave him a bigger role in the original plot), so I was wondering: Would you ever write a fic centered around Ryou? 👀✨

*returns the hugs* Thank you, Alby!

Ryou was indeed was one of my muses in my baby fandom days, from fic writings to RPs (Yuugi a bit too, but not nearly as much as I did Ryou back then), he's been with me for a good few years. (Even named my very first car after him because I got it on his birthday, September 2nd).

That being said, looking at my ao3 and my dreamwidth account (since that's where I put my stuff before tumblr came along), I haven't really written for Ryou since about 2014-ish? 2016 being about the last time I did anything ygo related when Arc V was airing and Dark Side of Dimensions came out, then moved onto other fandoms (Hello, my new loves Haikyuu and various mobile otomes when I got my first smartphone).

So, best I'll say is that it's unlikely, but not impossible. For a different fandom, I did a fic re-write for a fic I did in 2005 in 2010, like a draw this again challenge, but writing instead of drawing. And fictober is coming up in a few months, so that's also a possibility for a drabble. Ryou might come back for a visit, you never know!

Thanks again for the question!

Writer's Would You Ever...

hey quick question anyone know of any aus out there where Itama and Kawarma live but Tobirama and Hashirama DONT

#half considering doing something with the idea myself #but im wondering if also switching up which uchihas survived would be too much since they'd pretty much all be OCs #naruto blog for naruto things #anyways . imo. kawarma is the one who is like. im killing you and killing you and killing you and killing you #and unlike tobirama he doesnt see a need to control his emotions so hes Big Mad at the uchiha #itama w/out his brothers to protect him still ends up a cunning little bastard #but i think the most fun path to take is that even in death hashiramas dream for peace was so strong that it still happens. somehow #P S. thinking of my headcanons for madara's siblings (im going w/ the mountain naming scheme) #and im like. wouldnt it be funny if he had a sister. and she didn't even DIE he was just a fucking. misogynist about it or something dlghdg #will probably not go with that but. its funny

[beatriceportinari]

3, 7, 30? :-)

Weee let's go under the cut etc

3. What ideas come from when you were little

So many.... I'm a fairly nostalgic person (evidently) so a lot of it is influencing me lol

I'm doing less of it now but sea-related fondness had a good grip on my art from like 2015-2018 I'd say and it's still there in the back of my brain.

I love using techniques done in crafts for kids too like with crayons, paper crafts, finger painting, etc. I should do smth with salt paste one day it's so easy to make (and you can lick the salt).

All in all I might be more influenced by my childhood in terms of technique than subjects.

7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate

Sculpture!!!! I haven't done anything mostly for budget reason (I'm not getting a slab of marble) but I love it... as a texture and volume enthusiast I think I would enjoy it. Again I need to make some salt paste. Outside of visual art though I'm also very admirative of any kind of musical instrument playing... I don't think I would even really like to learn but I sure appreciate it.

30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated

You're gonna laugh but I might have to go with those damn sharingan portraits I was making fun of in the previous ask LOL. No one cared abt it and I understand why because they were so self indulgent but still... Although really I picked those bc they didn't have much success but idk if more success would have been warranted...

WAIT my Kaguya piece. The most I've ever thought about composition with which elements should replace the stuff in the original cover... unfortunately it was a lot of reference to filler episodes no one liked. I'm simply so obscure and special.

#about #can't believe my underrated art is all naruto stuff... well it's a good sign if I think my original stuff is more appreciated I guess #too bad there's more naruto coming teehee #WAIT ACTUALLY #those costume studies from when I went to see Alcina... I think you had to be there to really appreciate them so like. #gregory berrycone moment but still. #yeah I think i'm gonna go with those ones bc I wanted people to show the costumes lkuhzgfd #<- worst keysmash what happened there #anyway thank you for always indulging me with these hihi I loooove doing tumblr ama
