Pairing: Satoru Gojo x gn! reader, Suguru Geto x gn! reader, Shoko Ieiri x gn! reader

Genre: pure fluff hcs

Summary: just some hcs of what your summer would be like while dating one of the core three

CW: established relationship, s2! Shoko, Geto and Gojo, they’re still students at Jujutsu Tech in this, mentions of drinking/smoking

so I think it’s plain to see that JJK2 is rotting my brain rn. shoko’s design is absolute PEAK and I am in love w all three of them. this is meant to take place around 2006 while they’re still students at the academy, but you could probably take it either way. anyway, would love some JJK requests of these three if anyone else has brain rot 😭 also I am now completely caught up on the manga and idk what to do w my life

————

Satoru Gojo:

lots and lots of sweets

definitely takes you to the arcade so you can watch him set the high score on games

“babe are you watching? babe pls”

he is CLINGY too

always following you around and practically glued to your side

whenever one is seen without the other, Geto and Shoko always ask where your “carry on” is

he is the EXPERT at sneaking around too

knows every single place you can make out during the day without getting caught

and makes a point of using ALL of them

takes refuge in your room whenever he’s done stuff to piss someone off (usually Yaga)

probably sleeps more in your room than he does in his own

like to the point your bed always smells like him and there’s always candy wrappers on his nightstand

gives you lots of random gifts too

from pretty flowers he found to expensive jewelry and clothes

just loves to spoil you

takes you to almost every summer event

fireworks? he’s taking you to the best spot in the city

expect lots of beach days too

this man will drag you out every day and make you watch him show off in the water

"babe babe watch this"

also ice cream dates!!

being stuck between two flavors so Gojo gets one and you get the other and the two of you share

really it’s just an excuse for him to have more sugar

you will be sick to death of him by the end of the summer

Suguru Geto:

expect lots of third wheeling from Gojo

like lots

like you cannot get rid of this man no matter how hard you try

sneaking around a lot to avoid Gojo

lots of sleepovers in each others dorms (and hiding from Yaga)

takes you around the city and shows you all of his favorite places too

expect lots and lots of random dates too

like going to the aquarium and then having sushi???

but also plans really cute activities for the two of you

takes you to places with really good views to watch the sunset

and plans for you to spend a night in the city just to get away

doesn’t like the beach but will definitely go if you want to (although he spends the whole day laying in the sand unless you beg him to come in the water)

looks damn fine in a bathing suit too

movie nights w the core three!!

definitely more of a reader and will compare the book to the movie

and you, Gojo and Shoko will be telling him to shut up

after everyone falls asleep on the couch, definitely starts being more affectionate to you

also brunch dates!!

this man is a sucker for brunch

tries to get one last get away with you at the end of the summer too

Shoko Ieiri:

expect lots of teasing from Gojo and Geto

but dw because there will be absolutely NO third wheeling

knows every place in the city she can get alcohol + smokes

takes you to a bunch of cool lowkey places that you’ve never heard of before either

she’s not a big fan of public events or big crowds, but you can probably convince her to go to a couple

lots of lazy mornings and afternoons together

also gets away with way more than the other two because she’s way less annoying

so less sneaking around too

cannot cook to save her life so more often than not you guys go out for food or order take out

staying up way too late + sleeping in together

makes you watch all of her favorite movies and watches you the whole time to see how you react

not nearly as horny as the other two but definitely gets some affection in too

you guys go bathing suit shopping and she insists on seeing every single one on you

gets you all flustered with her comments too

not one for the beach but Gojo probably drags everyone out at some point

she’ll help you apply her sunscreen but will not swim unless you drag her out there

Gojo probably throws her in at some point and she almost kills that man

she is the cocktail queen!!

like she will make you the tastiest, coolest, prettiest cocktail you’ve ever seen in your life

Gojo and Geto definitely treat her like their personal bartender

also takes lot of pics of the two of you together + has them strung up above her bed

family amidst sorcery — drabble, fluff, angst in the end if you squint because jjk manga :')

gojo satoru x fem!reader

not proof read

w/c : 500-ish?

Nobody says anything, but it is an established fact that Megumi has turned into Satoru's child courtesy of you. It was something that Satoru had never planned. He couldn’t imagine himself as a good parental figure for anyone.

If you asked anyone who had known Gojo Satoru since high school, they would all pray for the child who was unfortunate to fall under Satoru’s surveillance.

Honestly, Satoru swore that he would never deal with children because they are annoying and have been permanently scarred since the Rika Amanai Incident, but ever since you crash-landed in his life...You are adopting kids left and right. Megumi? Yuuji? Nobara? All your children.

Nobody was safe from your sight. Even the second years had become your children. You had the tendency to treat everyone like children and tend to them. In short, you were complete of Satoru.

Yuuji and Nobara wanted steak? Done. Taking students on a vacation after rough missions? You coaxed Satoru into agreeing. He had to admit that he had grown fond of this little sorcerer family you and him had built. It was unironically, his place of solace and happiness.

Everyone had their humorous moments with you two as their guardians, especially Megumi who terms Satoru as his benefactor has his slip-ups and he ends up referring to him as 'dad.'

"You think of me as a father figure, Megumi?" Satoru's tone brightened up like a flashlight and he dramatically placed a hand on his chest, appearing touched by Megumi's words. Which he was, actually.

It reassured him that he wasn't as bad of a guardian as he had originally thought.

"What? You? As my father figure? You are much more of a bother figure." Megumi did a double take and quickly got defensive, yet one could see his cheekbones and earlobes pink up in embarrassment. You and Satoru chuckled at the sight of him grumbling.

"I am glad my ears are sharp otherwise I wouldn't have caught that." Satoru smiled and ruffled Megumi's hair. He had the tendency to do that. If you are shorter than Gojo Satoru, he would ultimately pat and or ruffle your hair which happens a lot since in most cases, you are shorter.

"You are hearing things, old man." Megumi sighed and was about to leave before you called him. "Hey! 'gumi! Don't go without eating."

He turned around and returned to indulge in the meal you had cooked for him as you and Satoru hung around the kitchen counters. The food was like a warm hug for him. A soft smile threatened to creep onto his face but he suppressed it.

After finishing, he got up and looked at you before saying, "Thank you. I appreciate it." There was a brief smile on his face which soon faded away as he made his way towards the door.

"Did you see that? Megumi can smile!" Satoru marvelled.

"Of course, he can, dummy!" You retorted.

He quietly chuckled before exiting to go and regroup with Yuuji and Nobara.

Needless to say, Megumi is too prideful to admit that he enjoys this found family, you three had created amidst the chaos of the jujutsu world where death was around the corner each day.

It was nice. Too nice. It was only a matter of time till this short-lived moment would be shattered.

©definitelysel

do not edit , plagiarise , copy or claim as your own or I will bite your toes off.

a/n : idk i have just mentally adopted megumi and probably every 1st and 2nd year. They are all so squish squish.

Sasaki and Hirano, Compare/Contrast Brainrot

Okay like I saw a post about Sasaki and Hirano’s friendship and I just. Started thinking about it and now I can’t stop. Especially after reading Hirano to Kagiura.

I feel like they’re messed up (repressed is probably what I actually mean) in the same way but in opposite directions and that’s why they like…get along, but in the strangest manifestation of that phrasing? They care about each other almost from a periphery, from the vantage point of someone who understands, but, since they’re also still figuring it out, they don’t know quite how to interact with or guide the other?

And it’s killing me because--idk if it was just me--I kept going feral over every single time I was reading the manga and Hirano would go “oh yeah I do [insert fuckign batshit intimacy] with my roommate, this is a normal senpai/kouhai thing to do” and Sasaki literally always reacts with:

“.” (Huh. I don’t think that’s normal but who am I to judge these things. Let’s ask the local social barometer.)

“Hey Hanzawa, this [reiterates what Hirano said word-for-word] isn’t normal is it?” (Translation: “this would be inappropriate to do with Mya-chan even though I’m clawing at the walls just thinking about it”)

And Hanzawa, bless his heart, who is only a fraction more normal about social interaction than everyone else is just like:

“.” [W H A T]

“Sasaki, what. Of course you shouldn’t be doing that. W H Y ARE YOU ASKING ME THIS”

AND THIS HAPPENS MANY TIMES IN THE SPAN OF TWENTY CHAPTERS. I CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH THE HILARITY BUT ALSO CONCERN IT INSPIRES TO WATCH.

More detailed analysis under the cut, I just can’t stop laughing at the way the manga compares them:

Sasaki fascinates me because, as I take stock again, it feels like he’s got this dread when it comes to change (e.g. Ogasawara and his gf dating--thus changing his relationship with both of them, asking Miyano out--risking losing him, confessing that he’s dating a boy to his sister--risking her enduring and fervent disapproval). So much of his younger teenage angst was related to being reluctant to start or do things, and while it’s easy to assume laziness, I don’t think that’s the case? He says in the manga: “There’s nothing I can do, so how am I supposed to know what I want to do then…?” I get a sense that this trapped feeling contributes to his dissatisfaction and stasis more than a refusal to do anything at all. I don’t think he lacks capacity; he’s proven to be exceptionally clever and even studious when he feels motivated.

Considering the lack of interest his parents had in his life (let alone his hobbies/skills) and his sister’s overbearing scrutiny, I feel like it makes sense he’s struggled so much with his self-actualization. I feel like he perceives it as being caught between hot and cold extremes constantly; like no matter what he does, he’ll either receive indifference or loud chastising. So why bother at all? It would explain why he likes Miyano’s temperament so much, considering the latter quite literally is defined by his normalcy and even keel. When Sasaki wants to move forward in their relationship, Miyano seriously considers both their feelings, and thoroughly weighs the realities of what it would mean to be together before replying. While Sasaki wants to be closer to him, I think so much of his willingness to wait was the fact that Miyano wasn’t evading him. Miyano was being honest and thorough about meeting him halfway, without insulting his feelings or flat out ignoring him.

(Side note: I fully agree that Sasaki’s sister is a positive influence in his life, in that she actually gave a damn when he was downspiraling and miserable, and pointed out that all kids need limits and guidance. But she is loud and forceful about her acknowledgement, and I feel like this is very grating to Sasaki. For better or worse, it’s clear he has a hard time with such a direct and intense approach about what he should think and feel, and about what he needs. Sasaki shows indications of a kind of mindset where he thinks he needs to shoulder all the tough and heavy things alone, so it makes sense to me that he would be uncomfortable with his sister proclaiming how he is lost or bereft of attention/discipline.)

I think there’s also the fact that Miyano witnessed Sasaki at his most vulnerable--and instead of lashing out--offered him help and sympathy, real warmth and patience. Sasaki has always meant a lot to me as a character, maybe because he resonates in such a poignant way. He’s somebody who has lived under such emotional extremes, and as a result deeply values a sense of normalcy. Where one could argue Miyano is unassuming and ordinary, I think that’s part of why Sasaki likes being with him. With Miyano, he doesn't have to guess at the distance between them; Miyano is earnest and careful about those differences, and is very direct about addressing them with reciprocity.

Now then, Hirano. I know very little about Hirano’s home life other than his being an only child. But to be honest, that does tell us a bit--paired with his subtle social anxieties. I will never forget Sasaki saying to Miyano ‘that’s because Hirano plays favorites with his kouhais’ about the gap between his behavior towards his younger classmates versus everyone else. While Sasaki’s petulance is uproarious, there is something to that. (I also love how this exposes Sasaki, lowkey, because he’s basically saying that he’d only do that with his favorite people, aka Miyano. But otherwise he could never be bothered to care about a rando, and that’s hilarious.)

I think Hirano--because he doesn’t really have a sense of how he’s supposed to relate to other people--tends to follow the same strict guidelines you might see in a rule book (DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE COUGH COUGH). Supposing he was taught--or simply feels responsibility towards younger kids as a result of reflective parental neglect--it would explain why he feels this rigid need to treat kouhais like little siblings. At first glance, and honestly when you consider his general aloofness, it doesn’t make much sense that he has a mothering sensibility otherwise.

Now then, because I realized this while writing and I have to inflict this on everyone else in rapid succession, this would explain his initial staunch discomfort with Kagiura’s affection. In the context of Hirano’s lifestyle/mindset:

Hirano → relationships with people? Don’t understand that, refer to following flowchart:

→ younger = responsibility, must protecc

→ same age = keep them in line

→ older = respect (but only if I feel like it HAIR DYE NOISES INTENSIFY)

Mind you, I don’t think this is limited to his platonic/friendship relations. I think this permeates into so many other aspects of his life, since sociality is inevitably a focal point for all human life. If he feels an uncharacteristic leniency and profound affection for Kagiura, then it must be because he's a kouhai he wants to protect, nothing more. He has no other reason or definition by which to ascribe to those feelings. Hirano doubly insisting he can’t be attracted to men is because he’s been so inundated in the widespread social signals, the social rule that has been long standing--and remains a pretty powerful message even now--that it’s unlikely (and that’s a gentle term) he’s attracted to another man.

After all, He is So Good At Being A Normal Young Man. He’s in the discipline committee. He gets excellent grades. He’s a kind and helpful senpai. He keeps his classmates in line. Of Course He Likes Women, What Do You Mean Gay.

He’s basically that meme like: “'Men can be attracted to other men' actually statistical error. Average men only feel attraction for women. Sasamiya is an outlier and should not be counted."

Both Hirano and Sasaki hate change/unpredictability, but I really love how complex their differences are in regards to how they experience that and feel that. Sasaki hates change, but he’s not necessarily emotionally repressed? He’s able to express what he feels for Miyano because he feels it so strongly, and it comes naturally when he does. In fact, it’s so natural that he becomes impulsive--and that’s why he gets so anxious about moving too far or too fast by accident. He has the overthink override, where if the attraction is too strong he simply Can’t Shut Up About How Much He Loves Miyano or stop hugging/kissing him.

Hirano hates change in the sense that he’s so ensconced in this idea that This Is Normal Human Behavior, that he completely loses sight of how he actually feels about anything--because he rejects/suppresses anything he can’t coherently define in a scripted, linear way. And being asked to tread that unstable, unsteady ground is tantamount to throwing a cat in water with no warning. This is why it’s so sad but also HYSTERICALLY FUNNY to see him like “wym I have feelings for Kagiura. It's perfectly normal to start yelling with all the wounded rage of a scorned housewife over my kouhai not letting me wake him up for morning practice. That is what it means to be a senpai.” Because he has no blueprint for how he’s supposed to express a love that goes deeper than friendship (with a man no less), he defaults to these overly simplistic structures that can’t support the complexity/maturity of such adult human feeling and exchanges. They worked for him just fine before, so why won’t they work for him now?

Relegating Kagiura to the role of kouhai makes it easier for Hirano to conceptualize why he cares so much for him, but it also limits the scope of his view. He’s using it as an umbrella term in a sense: of course he doesn’t find every little thing about Kagiura infuriating/boring/troublesome. Being the older person means being responsible and chill about everything. But that’s the thing. He’s not indulging Kagiura the same way he indulges Miyano, despite him qualifying them the same way. With Miyano it’s super clear Hirano really does just see him as a baby duckling, someone to treat gently and usher around. His behavior around Kagiura is so astronomically different in comparison, it’s nearly comical to try to compare them:

It’s Kagiura’s birthday. Hirano, who probably hardly remembers people’s birthdays, deadass went around asking every person he was close to (like, 5 ppl) for advice. He agonized over it for days on end. He gets Kagiura tickets to a basketball game and an alarm clock, and spends the entire day with him. He asks Hanzawa if he can use party poppers to celebrate Kagiura on the day of, and to get around the rules when he’s told no he has everyone go hog wild with them at the Christmas party in a loophole maneuver to celebrate. Reminder to myself and everyone reading, this is BEFORE he even hears a word about Kagiura’s feelings.

THIS IS BEFORE EITHER OF THEM ARE IN ANY KIND OF INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP. HIRANO, WHO IS MR. “i only study or drag people to baby jail, what do you want,” SPENT ENTIRE DAYS PAINSTAKINGLY PLANNING ALL OF THIS. FOR KAGIURA’S BDAY. AFTER ONE OFFHAND COMMENT FROM KAGIURA OF LIKE mannnn having an xmas bday sucks ass, they just try to lump it tg with holiday presents booooo :///

That Hirano conceptualizes Kagiura as a kouhai has been established. But another angle that’s equally crucial is this equation:

Hirano → adore person? Devote Every Minute To Being Nice^TM

→ hate person? angry cat hissing sounds/smack with paper roll

→ mild dislike? Lowkey grousing/sarcasm/dismissal

→ neutral? (this is most people btw) refer to earlier chart for appropriate social etiquette

This is pretty much where Hirano gives himself away. Because even in his most inflexible rules for himself, we’ve never seen him convey so much feeling for anyone around him so helplessly. It can be argued that he might have in the past, but honestly, I doubt it. The feeling is so confusing and new to him that it leads me to believe so much of his difficulty accepting what he feels is related to its unfamiliarity. He can’t trust it as real precisely because he can’t control or neatly define it. (This made doubly disconcerting by the fact that he doesn’t have a typical social structure to work from either. If his parents, for instance, are anything like Hanzawa’s, it’s possible his conception of love between a couple is about devotion to remain together to fulfill a sense of status/purpose to create a new life. He would have zero concept of love that comes from the very depths of a person’s emotional being, a call and response that is as instinctive as it is fulfilling.)

Sasaki feels an intense desire to be close to Miyano, and thus acts accordingly because he trusts his feelings. On the other hand, he has trouble measuring the distance between himself and others. (e.g. he thinks he will lose his friends if they date, his sister acts like a parent but is also a kid and that makes it hard for him to know how to interact, he struggles to convey himself properly to Miyano when he brings up escalating to dating). Hirano, on the other hand, doesn’t realize the intensity of his affection and heartfelt proximity to Kagiura because he’s so busy tying himself up in knots over what he’s supposed to feel and think that he doesn’t trust his feelings. Rather, he is only given away by how obscenely his actions expose him. Comparatively, he has less trouble measuring the distance between himself and others when it comes to anyone but Kagiura.

(Perhaps obviously, Kagiura has Sasaki’s whole ‘if I don’t hug/kiss/bark at him I’ll die’ emotional expression and Miyano has the cautious measuring of distance between people and difficulty accepting gay like Hirano.)

God they’re both so quintessentially queer it hurts me. One can’t shut up about his love, and the other literally cannot open his mouth and express his feelings or he’ll die.

NARRATIVE FOILS EVERYONE

(Also unsure if it’s me but wow. They are so. Autism. And that also kills me akhfjldghjgdsfhkdfjhg)

✦ morning memories - nagi seishiro

cw: gn!reader, fluff, established relationship, 0.8k wc

"—mmmh..."

nagi seishiro woke up to the noise of you making breakfast.

today was a sunday. a very sunny sunday, with the rays of light leaking through the curtains and shining on nagi's face. the harsh hues of the sun earned a disapproved grunt from nagi as he rolled over, expecting to wrap his arms around your figure. but you were not there. he lazily opened his eyes and reached over to the alarm clock.

6:13 am, it read.

confused as to why you were up so early on a sunday, he groggily waddled to the kitchen to look for you.

and there you were, standing over the countertop, sizzling bacon in a pan, the savoury aroma unfurling in the air.

"love,"

"morning sei, i thought you were going to sleep a little longer,"

nagi wrapped his arms around your waist and leaned his head on your shoulder, pulling you closer to him. "can we go back to sleep, it's sunday, mm?" he mumbled, not fully awake yet. you smiled and turned your head slightly to kiss him on the cheek, "not yet, sei, i have to finish making breakfast,"

"please?" he squeezes you a little, "why're you making bacon so early in the morning anyway~?"

"mm, i got hungry." you slid the bacon onto a plate and set it on the cutting board. "do you want me to make you something too?"

nagi blinked, and pondered for a bit. "can i have some lemon tea?"

you grinned, "of course, sei," you wrapped your arms around his neck and kiss his nose, tiptoed. "why don't you wait on the couch for a bit, mm?" you directed him towards your shared living space and sat him on the couch.

"be right back, 'kay?" you beamed.

nagi sighed audibly for you to hear as he reluctantly plopped down on the couch, although you can tell from the lightest hue of pink on his ears that he isn't upset.

as you rummaged through the fridge looking for ingredients, nagi began to drift back to sleep...

...

"hey, do you like anyone right now?"

nagi was caught off guard by reo's sudden question. "boo, you just made me lose my combo." he glowered and tossed his phone on the bed. reo raised an eyebrow, "you've been...acting weird recently." he walked over to nagi's manga collection and picked one from the shelves and sat down beside nagi.

"i don't like anyone," nagi retorted. "why?"

"no reason. but what if someone confesses to you?" reo seemed to enjoy whatever was happening in the book. nagi shrugged and laid his head on the bed, "little chances of that happening. besides, i don't really care for that stuff."

"really? well, i guess you'll meet your person someday."

"i said i don't care for that stuff, i'd rather just play soccer with you, reo"

"nagi,"

"sei—"

"hey, seishiro!"

nagi's eyes fluttered open at the sound of his name. you were crouching beside him, face close to his. "mmh, did i fall asleep?" he yawned. you giggled and pecked his forehead, "yep, you really are sleepy huh? lemon tea's on the counter, unless you wanna sleep some more~"

still reminiscing about his dream, your words blurred at his ears. he slowly sat up and snuggled into your shoulder, "i wanna go to bed with you," he mumbled. you can't help but redden at his words. although it's been more than 2 years into your relationship, nagi still manages to catch you off guard quite often. you smooth his hair out; his white locks were flying everywhere. "mhm, of course, love." you smiled into his neck, feeling the butterflies in your stomach.

without another thought, nagi stood up and lifted you into his arms, earning a surprised ack! from you. "w-wait, sei!" you huffed, "what about the lemon tea? you said you wanted it—" "but i want you more," nagi said, cutting you off, "and i want you now."

nagi tossed you on your shared bed and climbs behind you, wrapping his arms around you to pull you into a cuddle. he throws an additional leg over you. it was weirdly comfortable.

"y'know, i had a dream when i was napping" he murmured. you shifted yourself so you could face him, his half-lidded eyes gazing into yours. "what was the dream?" you asked, wondering how he possibly mustered up a dream in a 5-minute nap.

"i forgot"

"really, sei?"

he kissed you on your nose, "i think it was about you, though"

"it must've been a good dream then," you snickered.

nagi muttered something in response, but you were already pudding in his arms, melting away at the gentle tune of his voice.

he would never admit it to you, but nagi's glad you stepped into his world of boredom. getting himself into a relationship wasn't something he's ever thought about; someone like him doesn't see the whole ordeal as something necessary in his life. however, meeting you and every moment spent with you birthed memories that he holds close to his heart.

flames of jealousy

- endeavor (enji todoroki) x reader | wc: 3.3k

꒰ ▹ ꒱ — listening: deep — summer walker

꒰ ఇ ꒱ — synopsis: enji’s jealousy gets the best of him when he witnesses other men flirting with you.

꒰ ఇ ꒱ — cw: smut, nsfw 18+, boss/employee relationship, reader is a PA, dom! Endeavor, sub! reader, slight mention of abuse, jealousy, vaginal fingering, oral sex, slight chocking, spanking, kissing, french kissing, roughness

꒰ ! ꒱ — disclaimers :: the couple are in an established, consenting relationship (Enji + Rei are divorced); bnha franchise, anime + manga belong to horikoshi. this fic was written w/ black reader in mind. minors DNI!

Slumping in your seat, you exhaled a breath of relief.

The sense of accomplishment plagued your worn-out mind. Since filling out the role of a PA for the newly Number One hero, these past few weeks were daunting. With the League of Villains at large and the citizens of Tokyo on high alert, you were responsible for scheduling meetings/appointments for the Flame Hero. If that wasn’t good enough, on rare occasions, you’d travel alongside the hero in case of international affairs.

Unlike the previous PAs before you, you pursued this job with grace. Rumor has it that Endeavor is a hot-headed asshole, hence the main reason why the other PAs quit; they couldn’t (or weren’t emotionally secured) enough to tolerate such behavior. One of them was fired for getting the position solely to get closer to him, in a way. Consider yourself the sole lucky one of the bunch; you had yet to rub the man the wrong way. Your record was exceptional and you performed the role accordingly. Nothing could go wrong, right?

The sound of the intercom pulled you from your thoughts.

“Mrs. (Y/N), Endeavor would like to see you at his office. It’s urgent.”

Your heart sunk, straightening your position.

As much as you didn’t want to over exaggerate, you quickly got up from your seat and hurriedly rushed towards the elevator, pressing ‘Floor 1’ (Endeavor’s Office). Even with the peaceful elevator music in the background, your anxiety grew each time the numbers went up on the red-dotted screen.

‘What could he possibly need? Am I gonna get fired?’

—

*bing*

Taking a deep breath, you strengthen your composure once you’ve reached your boss’s office. The elevators opened, walking inside to take in your surroundings. Of course, this wasn’t the first time you were in his office, although it still didn’t ease the anxiety built up on the lump of your throat.

On the right, you turned to see the man himself looking out the windows, his muscled back in front of you. His attire immediately caught your eye; instead of his hero costume, he wore a red-velvet suit set with shiny black dress shoes. His hands dug into his pant pockets, causing you to flush. You couldn’t lie to yourself when you knew how handsome he looked.

‘No, no (Y/N)! Get a grip! You know better!’ you shook your head, ridding the potential dirty thoughts threatening to fill your brain.

Walking yourself into the dark room, the elevator silently closing behind you, you made your way towards the desk, his back still facing you. Though, you couldn’t make out his reflection through the window.

You swallowed any built-up saliva before softly speaking,

“I-Is there something you needed, sir?”

Endeavor grunted, his back still turned towards you.

“Miss (L/N), I have a question for you. I do ask that you answer truthfully and honestly.”

Pressing your hands together, you nodded.

“Y-Yes sir.”

Turning his head, catching sight of you through his peripheral. Your nervous, flushed expression, coupled with your attire; a brown bodycon dress paired with a brown velvet tailor jacket, your height heightened with high knee stilettos. Gosh, you look stunning. So gorgeous. The way the outfit accentuates your curves sent this man feral. However, he kept his composure, turning around to face you entirely.

Icy blue eyes stared at your (e/c) ones, lips pressed in a straight line. His heavy footsteps broke the silence as he towered over you.

Your heart raced. Having the man up close, you felt his body heat radiating the not-too-far distance between the both of you. Your anxiety quickly picked up when you saw his lips part.

“Are you seeing anyone?”

The question threw you off. You were awaiting a question relating to business, but you never could’ve imagined your boss asking you such personal questions. Though, he did ask you to answer truthfully, so you couldn’t object.

“N-No sir. I’m currently single,” you answered.

Enji’s brows furrowed. He was conflicted on whether to believe you, or deny your answer and pressure you into telling the truth (or rather, his truth) that you were, indeed, seeing someone. But, by your unfazed expression, you were serious.

How could a woman as beautiful as you be single?

“I see,” he mumbled.

Your eyes never left him, watching his eyes close before opening up again, eyes reconnecting. He watched as your brown glossy lips pursed, your head tilted slightly in confusion.

‘If only you knew how much of an effect you have on me,’ he growled to himself.

He knew how wrong it must be for him to feel this way towards his PA. Never had he believed he’d be attracted to another woman since his fiery divorce with Rei. Given his ugly reputation of abuse towards his family, he felt he could never love again. Yet, that all changed when you walked into his agency seeking a job after you were fired from your last job.

You were aware of who you were prepared to work for, yet that didn’t deter you from the confidence you felt of fulfilling the role as Endeavor’s PA. And despite not admitting it, he admired your determination. Your work ethic was subpar compared to his previous PAs, all of whom quit because of his distant, cold demeanor. Though, you never complained; hell, you grew quite comfortable with his cold-natured self.

Another thing he didn’t admit was how attractive you are. You’ve only worked under his wing for 7 months and already the rest of the workforce grew a liking towards you, the male employees especially. Whatever outfit you wore for different days of the week for work, the male employees would stare (sometimes drool) whenever you passed through the halls, the aroma of your warm vanilla scented perfume filling the environment.

From a distance, Enji couldn’t help but feel a tinge of jealousy from the attention you were unknowingly attracting. He hated how the good-for-nothing men working under his belt sought any opportunity they could to gain your approval, some going as far as to flirt with you on the spot, sending his flames aflame through his clothes.

Yet, he told himself he couldn’t have you. You could never possibly want a damaged man like him. You deserve to be with someone, man or woman, who was good-natured and could treat you like the Queen he visioned you to be.

“I-Is that all sir?” your soft voice broke him away from deep thoughts.

He forward his hand towards his lips, covering a cough.

“Y-Yes. Thank you, Miss (L/N).”

A slight trail of sweat left your forehead, nodding slowly before turning towards the elevators, your ass turned towards him. His eyes immediately glared at the round bums shaped underneath the dress.

‘Fuck. I can’t let her get away!’

Before you made it to the elevator, a hand circled your wrist, sending you flying around and pressed up against his hardened chest. Your small hands clutched against his shirt, flushed cheeks pressed against his lower body, you felt his biceps through the material.

“S-Sir?” you squeaked, clearly taken aback by the sudden move.

Enji’s strong arms closed around your waist, his head nuzzled against your head, inhaling the comforting scent of your coconut scented shampoo/conditioner combo from your hair.

“I’m sorry,” he hushed. “But the thought of you walking out of this office, knowing that those horny bastards will stop at nothing to claim what’s mine, makes my flames grow brighter.”

A silent gasp escaped your lips. No way in the world did you hear your boss admit to feeling jealous of your co-workers?

You lifted your head, craning your neck so you were eye-level with him.

“Is that so?” you whispered, your cheeks warm.

Enji’s heart raced, squeezing so tightly it threatened to burst.

Lifting you up, he pressed his lips against yours, savoring your taste. You wrapped your legs around his waist, melting into the fruitful kiss. Your hand roamed to caress his jawline, the rough texture of his muzzle tickling your fingertips, the other trailing through his red spiked hair.

The Flame Hero walked over to his desk, wiping everything off clean to make room for you, gently sitting you on the hardwood furniture, grinding his thigh against your crotch. Your body grew heated from the intensity, moaning from the subtle grinding as the kiss deepened, tongues twirling and tugging.

His large hands cupped your ass, leaving gentle gropes against the plump balls of flesh, causing shivers through your body. You were the first to pull from the kiss, a trail of saliva connecting your lips, releasing a shuddered breath.

“E-Enji-”

The way you say his name made him feral once more, low growls vibrating his throat whilst leaning down to nip at your neck, leaving love bites on the sensitive spots. He pulled away to see the artwork he created, a sense of pride washed over him as he admired the final product: marking what’s his, and his alone.

“You’re mine now, Little Flame,” he whispered seductively, nipping at the tip of your ear.

“You hear me?”

“Y-Yes sir,” you whimpered.

He smirked. “Good girl. Now, release those sweet melodies for me.”

His large hands lingered underneath your dress, sneaking its way through your panties and grazing your pussy, his index finger swiping through your clit.

You shivered at the touch, trying to squeeze your thighs together but to no avail since the hunk of a man is in between them.

“E-Enji- so g-good,” you released a shaky breath, grinding against his finger.

He shuddered, slowly shoving two more fingers inside of you, your folds tightening around him, coated in your wet nectar.

“Your moans are like music to my ears, my dear. Perhaps I should hear them more often,” the man teased, his chuckle breathy.

You bit your lip, achingly turned on by his dirty talk and praise.

A whimpering cry slipped out your lips when he fastened his pace, fingers digging in and out of your tight lil’ hole.

“S-shit! I’m gonna… I-I’m gon-” your cries grew louder, hands gripping against his suit coat.

The minute you were about to release, he pulled out his fingers, raising them to his face to see the wet, glistering mess you left behind. You cried in frustration, not liking how he teased you so lewdly and not allowing you to cum. Without breaking eye contact, his pink tongue grazed against them, licking away any trace of you.

“You taste divine, my dear,” he purred.

Your chest rose from each shaky breath you released, face flushed as you watched him. Jolts of pleasure coursed through your body, causing more wetness to arouse from your folds. Closing your thighs, you placed a hand in between them, raising the hem of your dress to the point of removing the cloth entirely, exposing your nude melanated skin, your fingers rubbing against your clit as you played with yourself.

Of course, you knew Enji was watching, but perhaps you wanted him to. You wanted to show him how much you were desperate for him, how much you wanted him to punish you for being so naughty, so lewd.

The Flame Hero paid close attention to your expression, his eyes following your not-so discrete moves. He caught on with your plan, and that only seemed to fuel his already burning flames, his bulge growing beneath the fabric of his pants. He wasted no time in fondling his zipper, tugging it down to remove his pants and boxers, releasing the monster you were excited to witness. He went on to remove his tie and shirt, now completely nude, his chest glistening with sweat.

“Tch, it’s too stuffy in here,” his face flushed from the growing heat. He climbed off the bed and walked over towards one of the windows, opening it up to let the air cool off, the windy breeze blowing the curtains.

You watched him with glassy eyes, your fingers still toying with your pussy.

The sight of your lewd expression, the squelch of your juices against your fingers was a sight to behold.

“Fuck,” he growled as he quickly rushed over to you, his large hands clamped on your waist, raising you up and pulling you up in his arms. You squirmed at the friction between your entrance and the tip of his enormous cock.

“You never fail to entice me, Little Flame,” he praised, pressing his forehead against yours. “So beautiful, so sexy, and yet so breedable.”

You whimpered, eying him with glossy eyes.

“P-Please sir,” you begged. “Fuck m-me.”

That sent him over the edge. His grip onto you grew tighter, pulling you in for a heated, sloppy kiss. Fortunately, your wetness was like a natural lubricant, allowing his cock to ease its way inside you. His hips thrusted towards you, his tip rubbing against your sensitive clit before penetrating your hole, stuffing you slightly.

“I will not hold back,” he heaved, pulling away from the kiss. “Are you sure you’re ready to take all of me, Little Flame?”

You nodded quickly. “Y-Yes, sir.”

That said, he kept his word and didn’t hold back, beginning to slowly thrust in and out of you. Tears rolled down your eyes, lips trembling the further he thrusted inside you.

“S-So big–” you cried as your walls tightened around him.

“Yes,” he groaned. “Take all of me, Little Flame.”

Staring into each other’s eyes, lost in the moment of passion, the sloppy sounds of skin meeting skin echoed the room as he quickened his pace, bodies rocking the desk with each thrust. You were lost in the clouds, eyes rolled back from the overwhelming pleasure. Your hands traveled down to his back, fingers threatening to mark his back with scratches.

“S-Shit,” you cried.

“F-Fuck baby– you’re so intoxicating,” Enji praised, his breath caught in his throat.

“P-Please give me more~” you begged.

You felt a slap against your ass.

“You don’t gotta tell this old man twice,” pride filled his voice as he bounced you deeper on his cock. You shivered at the warmth of his breath against your ear as he nipped at it.

“Yeah, take this cock, you lil cocksleeve,” he growled, plunging deeper inside you, hitting your g-spot over and over.

Your fingers dug into his skin, scratching his back in desperation for release, his deep thrusts hitting your g-spot continuously to no end. You flew your head back, your cries coming out breathy and shaky as your orgasm drew closer. As if he sensed that you were close, Enji’s hand clamps around your neck, choking you carefully so as not to hurt you, while the other holds you up higher.

His breathy groans sung harmoniously with yours, muttering praises against your ear.

“So tight.”

“So enchanting.”

“So beautiful.”

“And all mine.”

Such a whimpering, whining mess you were. You couldn’t get enough of this man, it hurts. His cock twitched inside you, signaling the closure of his climax. You, too, were also reaching your limits, your walls tightening around him, your juices glossing up his cock.

“I-I’m gonna c-cum,” you quivered.

“Yes,” he gasped, “Take all of me. Cum for me, my dear.”

Holding you tightly, chest to chest, he swallowed your cries with a kiss, his hands firmly grabbing your ass as he plunged you deeper into him. You cried out for him, legs burning from being raised to accommodate his bulky stature and size. The squelching sounds of skin against skin rung the quiet office, the aroma of sweat and sex filled around you, breaths mingled as climaxes close in.

“Prepared to be filled with my love, my darling Flame,” he seduced, lifting you up and walking towards the window, pressing you against the glass. You shivered from the contact of the cold glass against your back, but you didn’t complain. You didn’t care if anyone could see you fucking your boss from a mile away; all you knew was that tonight was the night you were about to be filled with newfound love from this complex man. A man you daydreamed of becoming his.

“Aah, Enji,” you cried. “P-Please fuck me shitless, make me cumm.”

“Cum for me, you little minx.”

His pace quickened at your request, balls slapping against your ass, his grip tightening its hold on you.

“God you’re so pretty when you lose your mind,” he hissed, his body glistening with sweat, your fingers scratching along his back for release.

And just like that, a wave of pleasure flew out of your body, your body shaking from your anticipated orgasm.

Enji would soon follow suit, his cock throbbing painfully as he rode out his climax, the warmth of his seed filling you up deliciously, some dripping down from your cunt and onto the floor. You plopped your head onto his chest, hearing the race of his heartbeat as the two of you struggled to catch a breath.

You felt his chest vibrate when he chuckled.

“Was I a bit too rough with you, my dear?”

“A little bit. Regardless, I still enjoyed it.”

You assured him with a breathy giggle.

The two of you remained by the window, holding each close in a warm embrace, your nude back still pressed against the cool window. You saw yourself snuggled in his arms for eternity. Who knows, maybe that eternity could become a reality? You smiled at the idea of starting a potential life with the Flame Hero.

“Thank you.”

His gratitude took you aback, resulting in you raising your head from his chest and stare up at him.

“Thank you? For what, sir?”

For the first time, Enji’s lips formed into a soft smile.

“For making me believe in love again, that I deserve a second chance at loving someone with the care they deserve. I acknowledge the damage I’ve caused my family. And though I dreamed of turning the past and redo my devious mistakes, I’m reminded that no matter what I do, the past cannot be changed”

His large, rough hand grazed your cheek, his thumb rubbing slow circles against your skin.

“However, I will not allow my past to deter me from seeking the future. While I still reel and suffer from the consequences of my actions, I will not let them hold me back from the potential future I’ve yearned for too long. Despite the challenges and risks, I wish for you to remain by my side. Stay with me, and I promise that I will become a better man to the best of my ability.”

You were confused by this sudden proposal. You couldn’t remember the last time you saw the man smile, though it warmed your heart that you were probably the driving factor behind it. You raised your hand to cup his cheek, the familiar roughness of his muzzle tickling your fingertips, your lips also turning into a soft smile.

“Getting into this job, I was aware of the challenges I’d face being constantly under your wing. Regardless, I’m not going anywhere. You are a flawed man, sure, but I admire your determination to change yourself, to better yourself not only for the sake of your family and society, but for yourself as well. That said, I’ll remain by your side ‘til time stops tickin’.”

You declared, leaning in to place a gentle kiss to his lips.

Enji chuckled, amused by your playful, yet thoughtful declaration while melting into the kiss, pulling you away from the window and pressing you close to him.

*riiiingggggg*

The two of you froze, immediately turning towards the phone ringing from his desk.

“S-Should we–” you were about to suggest getting back to work, but he rolled his eyes.

“Leave it, they can wait,” he grunts, before smirking down at you.

“Besides, the candle is still burning inside me.

Would you mind going for round 2?”

Everyone that is enjoying the anime adaption of Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill (Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi) should read the manga, both the main and spin-off and the novel. It’s a great comfort story with action and comedy.

If you have read the manga and need more, start from the end of volume 2 of the novel if I am remembering correctly. I read all of the novel that was available in English in the span of one month so I’d take this with a grain of salt. It’s probably better to start from the beginning. There’s more world building, more cool monsters, and fun characters.

Edit: here are links to the novel online. Sorry for not linking it before.

For the manga, you can google it and use any website. I usually just use manga go or manga here.

Hi how would you accomodate Obito's character to match, as you said, the fake ideal Kakashi has of him in his memory at the beginning of the series (if you want their relationship to go that way, which is 1000% more interesting than what the manga gave us) ? Like, if Kakashi has a fake idea of Obito in his head, Obito must have been at least something remotely heroic in the past, no ? Also, in this configuration do you think Adult Obito should be acknowledged as 100% Creepy in the story to contrast Kakashi's memories, and how ?

i fear that i may have opened a giant can of naruto discourse worms but since i actually have opinions on this i might as well share. its not really changing obito's character in any form its just genuinely how i read this relationship because thats the way it makes the most sense to me.

obito was genuinely just some kid who had a good heart but was a little annoying and wasnt terribly punctual or collected and was more than happy to mildly buck his responsibilities and the expectations people had of him to help people out which isnt inherently bad but also easily lends itself to endangering the mission/task at hand and as a result baby kakashi thought he was annoying and stupid and a spoiled brat who doesnt know what the real world looks like. they were literally not even anywhere close to friends until like the 5 minutes before obito epicly dies by which i mean. and this is like so so so tremendously important to understanding my view of this relationship. kakashi barely knew obito at all, and he didnt know him because up until those last 5 minutes he barely even respected him as a person and therefore had absolutely no vested interest in learning. this, combined with the fact that obito was . again. just some kid who was trying his best but wasnt like outstanding is absolutely crucial because its directly because of kakashi's growing insane survivors guilt complex that his perception of obito goes from "kid with a good heart who did the right thing when i did not" -> "paragon of justice and morality and everything that i am not".

like kakashi as a guy is somebody who very consistently takes far more responsibility for bad things that happen than is deserved - if kakashi and obito had gone to save rin earlier it literally would not have made a difference, but because kakashi knows he made the wrong decision in trying not to save her at first he blames himself for obito's death nonetheless. as rin dies by his own hand (both thereby being "his fault" + violating the deathbed promise he made to the last person he got killed) and then minato kicks the bucket not too long after, kakashi's survivors guilt complex balloons into something genuinely kind of deranged. like seriously kakashi really truly does hate himself so so so much and its a bit dire. he blames solely himself for things that are not entirely or even mostly his fault and at multiple points in the final arc literally talks about how prepared he is to die and when he's saved is caught entirely off-guard and immediately starts talking about how worthless he is (GUY WHO WANTS TO DIE SO BAD ITS CONCERNING) and asking why obito bothered moving kaguya's attack and when anybody ever tries to give him credit for the positive things he did contribute he immediately moves to give it to somebody else and minimize his own impact.

with this in mind you can kind of see what happened with obito - while kakashi is a tremendously skilled ninja on his own, it was the sharigan that ultimately became the centerpoint of his abilities - the sharigan that obito gave him. with this comes the ability to attribute all the good he's done for the village/people in it to obito while bolstering his already preconceived notion that it wasnt obito who shouldve died back then but him because if it were obito he wouldve been able to do everything that kakashi has done except he also has the added bonus of being fundamentally a better person who wouldve made the right choices who wouldve been a good leader who wouldve saved rin who wouldve saved everybody who was the one out of the two of them who truly understood sakumo's will and would have always always always succeeded where kakashi has failed time and time again but because hes dead because kakashi got him killed the best he can do is try. and he cant move on he cant ever move on because this eye of obitos is always always always there and he'll never be able to forgive himself because he's failed in every way he could have and would never deserve it. by the time the main series rolls around obito really isnt a person in kakashis mind but a very prominent focal point to project his insane deranged guilt complex onto and then feel miserable about because he has serious mental issues. like its truly not about obito as the guy he actually was because kakashi barely even knew him at all, its that because so so so many of kakashi's biggest achievements and regrets in life are tied back to obito's death its just entirely inescapable and especially so for somebody as riddled with guilt and self-hatred and responsibility as kakashi.

like people like to pretend this relationship is romantic but if im being honest. that is objectively 1)stupid but also more importantly 2) BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG ITS SO BORING ITS SO BORINGGGGGGGGG when your other option is kakashis deranged mental scape projection bag turning out to be an actual real person who shouldnt have been put on this massive pedastal, causing kakashis entire life and meaning up to this point to come crumbling down because it turns out obito's been spiraling off the path that kakashi has been obsessing over for years except in the end this too is kakashis fault because its always kakashis fault and worse yet its not even him who convinces obito to turn around because no matter how hard kakashi tries he'll never ever ever ever be good enough he'll never be able to fix his mistakes he'll never be able to be forgiven and he'll never be able to forgive himself.

also side note while i find obito's fixation on rin to be insanely annoying and notably weird and definitely in poor taste, intentionally making it creepy is doing nobody ANY favors and i would decidedly not want that in any direction. the contrasts between what kakashi remembers and what obito has turned into have to do with selflessness and maturity and the consistent choice to do the right thing into assisting in the murder of thousands of people for an incredibly childish and selfish pipe dream - imo intentionally focusing on how its frankly a bit weird for a guy pushing 30 to still be hung up on a girl he knew when he was 12 is detracting from the main point and serves no narrative purpose and what id much rather do instead is chop the romantic beat entirely because that would do wonders for his entire character in making him at the very least less annoying.

also also the way this ask is worded is a bit weird imo like its not like obito started out being a terrible person and if he was all along then itd kind of suck and also defeat like 100% of the point. like i would definitely say throwing yourself into a pack of overwhelming enemies to save a friend falls into the heroic category, and, while him giving kakashi the eyeball is absolutely horrifying and appalling and 57 different levels of messed up, from kakashi's pov<- authors note interruption: originally i was typing this up in the tags but then it became too long i have to give my opinion on the eyeball scene. i have to. we're side tangenting here but okay like because the thing about naruto the series and kishimoto and their respective politics is theyre kind of at odds with each other and a solid 50% of the things kishimoto says in naruto i think he like doesnt actually agree with or is alternatively too scared to commit to so im not really sure how exactly we're supposed to interpret obito giving kakashi his eye. and im aware to some extent that the shippers are like omg….. sooooo romantic while throwing on the veneer of omg child soldiers…. so horrible……. <- purely for the ~angst~ factor but. My Opinion. and we're back at it again with the mildly edited "discord messages from when i was watching" copy-pasting:

frankly imo if you make the focus of this scene on literally anything other than how horrifying the system is 1) you kind of suck and 2) youre tremendously dumb. because like there are so many tremendously bad implications going on here between the fact that kakashi who is clearly 13-14 max despite what his voice will have you believe is a JONIN without ANY of the necessary leadership or experience skills was sent with two other twelve year olds on their own with NO adult supervision (!!) on a mission to blow up a bridge in the middle of a war (!!!) and that when one of them got half crushed by a rock his only thought was to get one of the other children to TAKE OUT HIS EYEBALL WHILE HE WAS STILL CONSCIOUS (!!!!!!!) AND STICK IT INTO ANOTHER CHILD’S EYESOCKET (!!!!!!!!!!) WHICH STILL CURRENTLY HAS AN EYEBALL IN IT EVEN IF ITS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING MEANING SHE WILL HAVE TO GRUESOMELY SCOOP OUT THE REMAINS BEFORE SHE CAN PUT THE OTHER GUYS EYEBALL IN IT (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) AND NONE OF THE CHILDREN INVOLVED HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) this is NOT romantic this is horrifying the fact that a child had to do an EYEBALL TRANSPLANT on TWO CONSCIOUS PATIENTS in a BATTLE FIELD because konoha lost a sufficient amount of adults that they decided that in order to win the war they were okay with putting CHILDREN in horrifying situations and nobody DID anything about it !!!!!!!!!!!!! and the fact that these children are so completely desensitized to this idea that again obitos first thought is "yeah here let me give you my eyeball so you can fight" IS SERIOUSLY SO BAD LIKE HELLO.HELLO. HELLO?!??!?!?!?!?!?! THE KONOHA WAR MACHINE SITUATION IS DIRE.

^in the whole context of this i was complaining about shippers but the same sort of sentiment still applies to glorifying this in any manner. like as an outsider looking into this fictional world i can very easily go "wow! this is horrifying! this is not heroic this is tremendously messed up and a society that has allowed this to happen needs to kind of be razed to the ground."HOWEVER. this does not mean that kakashi himself does not see this as something indescribably heroic and in fact he would have an incredibly hard time seeing it otherwise given The Mental Illness and also his entire childhood and way of life from birth. like if we're being honest im always thinking about the scene where iruka and kakashi are arguing over whether or not team 7 is prepared to take the chunin exam because iruka rightly points out that theyre very young and inexperienced with the implication that given people older than them have literally actually died in these exams they really should not be doing this and kakashi responds that he was six years younger than naruto when he became a chunin as a justification and its just so insanely illuminating to his perspective on a lot of this because its been so insanely twisted by having literally grown up on the battlefield and then after that joining anbu bc from his perspective theyre twice as old as he was with the added bonus of it being peacetime so its literally fine even though for the viewers it is decidedly not.

and like in some instances he does recognize how badly the ninja system has screwed over everybody personally (see: when sasuke fights all of them after killing danzo and kakashi notes that sasuke is absolutely a product of his environment) but in other cases hes just so completely blinded by having been intrenched in war and child soldiering from birth that its very very hard to be able to take a step back and look at it objectively (and especially for somebody like kakashi who if he genuinely acknowledged this might also have to confront the fact that if child soldiers absolutely 100000% should not exist in any situation ever several of the things he blames himself most for in his past would really not be much of his fault as the adults who put him in those situations in the first place. which he would rather kill himself than do). also real quick id like to take a moment to share this parallel because it SERIOUSLY makes me deranged IM OBSESSED WITH ITTTTTTTT

^ and added commentary from cartoonrival who put anything i couldve said about this into a single line

so while as viewers we ought to think the entire eyeball scene is genuinely horrifying and, in the words of my dear friend goosewhisker, "a commentary on how [the ninja] system feeds on the corpses of the people who protect it", kakashi absolutely views this as something to be aspired to and incredibly heroic because hes messed up in the head a bit as a result of growing up under the konoha war machine and if you were to go "well actually obito sucked all along" it would literally only be undermining the point the story is trying to make imo. anyways this has gotten severely derailed but this is has been my thesis on kakashis relationship with/at obito and if youve stuck around this long.well thank you for reading

#ask #anon #lorillee.txt #hatake kakashi #2.2 thousand words.......... sorryeverybody. but you know how it is with me and kakashi #and also obito but in an incredibly negative direction #it is nice to have extensive thoughts again though #this is why i need to get into more ''insanely written but compelling despite itself'' media
