stands three feet to her right and three steps back. he is watching her make something truly heinous for lunch. “....”

"i can feel you judging me back there."

there's a smile quirking at the corners of her lips, and sometimes sakura wonders if kimimaro is aware of the way he projects sometimes. though, considering the way others deal with him, she supposes she's maybe just grown to know him a little better than most. nothing like days turned to weeks turned to months of travelling to get a few people acquainted.

(sakura knows his sleeping habits, for christ's sake.)

he's grown a lot over the years, too, and while satsumaimo instantly pops into her head as a reason, sakura knows very well that you have to be willing to grow in order to succeed. she's grateful he found that motivation, no matter how painful the process has been. sakura wouldn't have assumed there'd be anything she could learn from a man like him, but the depths of perspective he gives without even trying have opened her eyes to the world in a way she never imagined.

it almost feels silly, getting so introspective while his thoughts are undoubtedly insulting every ingredient she tosses into the bowl, but kimimaro has a way of making her just want to think. to consider and understand and put pieces together even when there's no need for it. even for something as simple as him watching her prepare a meal most definitely not meant for them.

after a moment, she turns her chin over her shoulder to look at him, barely containing the bark of laughter she gives at his empty (but somehow also utterly disgusted) expression. "take a breath, honey, this is for my summons. i figured i'd leave dinner to you, and — surprise! — satsu wants soup."

if life is what you make it, let's make it a real life / @ribucage.

Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship - Accepting

 @ribucage​ asked:  👬🏾

1. Kabuto was telling the truth when he said he didn’t know how to treat Kimimaro’s illness. Even if he doesn’t like someone, he takes his role as a doctor with utmost seriousness, particularly where it’s a patient in Orochimaru’s favor (otherwise, we all know he would have rid the Sound of Sasuke rather quickly). (Also, Kimi’s 33% space alien or something so like. Not even Kabu knows what to do with that.)

2. That being said - Kabuto has an unfortunate habit of automatically disliking other people who have Orochimaru’s attention in any capacity. As a result, he didn’t particularly like Kimimaro, and the two of them didn’t get along as well as they could have, had they met under different circumstances. A shared devotion to the Sannin didn’t actually help them bond.

3. That being said - Kimimaro is one of the few people to hear Kabuto sing. He only does so for loved ones and for chronically or terminally ill patients. Pairing Mystical Palm Technique with a gentle lullaby in order to soothe sickness or wounds is something he’s picked up from his mother.

4.  Post-war is a different story. Kabuto feels guilty for the way he treated the children Orochimaru took in, especially now that he works at an orphanage, and he tries to make amends by sending any information he finds that could affect Kimimaro’s ability to heal from his illness. He also extends a genuine apology when they cross paths, though Kabuto isn’t expecting forgiveness.

#ribucage #went with the ''what if kimi survived'' thing you'd posted before uwu #also i'm sorry that kabuto is All Over The Place with his actions #it's the fractured psyche #your love is like bad medicine ( kabuto yakushi ) #and i think i deserve some praise ( answered asks )

@ribucage liked for a fluffy / shippy starter from fuu !

          The snow was layered heavily on the ground, Fuu’s short strature finding it difficult to drag herself through the thick, sleek whiteness. It came to her shins, making her movements rather strained. Flying was also out of the question, it was snowing and she’d end up flying into a tree or something along the lines. This was why she didn’t see the abnormally risen part of the ground, but instead tripped and fell directly on her face. After recollecting herself she had turned to see what she had tripped over, only to discover a body hidden under the snow, piqing the girls interest— and concern.

          And so Fuu had dragged the ( thankfully ) alive and unconscious stranger towards a nearby cave and sealed the entrance off with her cocoon-like jutsu, using it to seal the coldness from getting in and the fire she was yet to build to keep the heat in. 

          Having built the fire, the jinchuuriki had tended to the figure she had saved from the snow. She had dusted him off, making sure no more snow lingered on their already damp clothing before wrapping them up in her blanket she carried in her red bag, going as far as sliding socks over their feet and gloves over their hands— even as far as sliding a warm hat over their head. A few hours had likely passed as Fuu had tended to the stranger, now she hovered over the small fire she had made and worked on heating up some soup she had purchased from the last village she visited. While it heated up, the young woman crawled over to the sleeping beauty, reaching out to gently shake them by their chest. “Hey, mister?”

Valentine’s Day Alphabet- A Headcanon Meme! @ribucage​ asked for A-G for Chouji. Here we go! Part will be placed under a read-more

A is for Affection! How does your muse show [romantic] affection? 

Chouji shows affection through physical affection and gift-giving.  Hugs, kisses, cuddling, hand-holding are all physical ways that Chouji displays affection.  In private, they are always touching a lover in some way.  However: Chouji is absolutely shy about PDA. They will become as red as a beet if you even try to hold their hand. They are just so.. Nervous about it? It is not at all related to them being ashamed of their partner or anything like that, they are just incredible self-conscious.  They get very worked up over the idea of someone watching them give affection to their partner- Which really has probably never happened, but they worry about it anyway.  What if someone is watching? What if I look funny when I hold a hand? What if I’m just weird-looking? What if what if what if-

They will hold your hand or give you a quick kiss or hug if it’s something very important to you or if you’re able to soothe them and assure them that no one is watching/judging them.  But they will be red as heck in the face the entire time.  I think the fear of being seen displaying affection is deep-rooted in when they were bullied as a kid for being slow, overweight, or “dumb.” There’s this fear that they look dumb when they do something out of the ordinary. 

B is for bouquet! Does your muse like flowers?

As a friend of Ino Yamanaka, Chouji is legally required to like flowers. Ok kidding, but yes they enjoy flowers! They love herb gardening so, naturally, they love flowering herbs. If you’re going to give them flowers, be sure to give them something like chamomile, rosemary, or yarrow blooms! They’ll use them for cooking or tea brewing later!

C is for chocolate! Does your muse like chocolate? Which one is their favorite?

Chouji does like chocolate! But it’s not a favorite or not something they’d just eat by itself.  If they were to eat a chocolate bar by itself, they prefer white chocolate best to other varieties because it is much smoother, creamier, and sweet to them!

D is for date! What is your muse’s ideal date?

A private picnic with foods he’s prepared for his date!! He wants a secluded place away from prying eyes so he doesn’t have to worry about being seen if he chooses to be affectionate.  Ideally it’d be a lunch or brunch date, because his IBS symptoms tend to flare up more at night than during early in the day (so this decreases his likelihood of running off with stomach cramps). Also, breakfast and lunch often feature a lot of bright and colorful fruits and sweets- and he loves sweets.  You could totally have a sweet yogurt parfait with whipped cream for breakfast and it’d be acceptable.  At dinner? Absolutely not. 

There’s a little brook that runs through Akimichi territory that Chouji considers “his place.” It’s surrounded by tall trees and mossy stones line the bank.  The grass is really soft and lush.  There’s lots of large, smooth stones in the brook that can be stepped on so he can observe the minnows and trout. There’s a nice log that hangs over a portion of the brook he likes to sit on.  This is where he’d want to take his date.  :’)

E is for Embrace! Does your muse like hugs? What are their hugs like? 

CHOUJI LOVES HUGS, romantic or otherwise.  The hugs Chouji gives are totally body-engulfing because he is all-around large (he’s 6′2″ and 242lbs).  You are totally engulfed. Akimichi have slightly higher body temperatures due to all the calorie conversion their bodies are doing at a near-constant, so Chouji’s hugs are very warm.  Their form is plush, so it’s a soft hug, too.  It’s like being engulfed by a giant, warm marshmallow. 

F is for flirt! Is your muse good at flirting? How do they flirt?  

HA BET. Chouji does not think they are very good at flirting, and they very rarely flirt.  Not because they do not want to, but because they are afraid to do so.  They are terrified of rejection or ridicule.  So they just.. Don’t.  And when someone flirts with them they’re like, “uhh UHHH UHHH” because they don’t expect it. 

When Chouji does flirt, it could be taken as just a platonic interaction, because they just “flirt”  through compliments like “oh I really admire you for x and x” or “wow you’re really great at x and x.”   

G is for gift! Is your muse good at gift-giving or do they struggle to get it right? 

Chouji is a great gift-giver!! Gift-giving (to others) is part of their love language. They love to give gifts. And as an attentive partner or friend, they typically get their gifts right. And if they are uncertain, they will absolutely go to their partner like, “I really want to get you something but I don’t know what. Please help me.”

[mistdaze]

doesn’t it hurt not to know who you are?

“It did at first.” Asanoha answered quickly. 

Obviously she didn’t need to think too much about the general answer to Kimimaro’s question. It did surprise her a bit, however. It wasn’t often that he asked such thought provoking questions. When they had first met, their conversations had usually been non-existent. It took quite some time to even get him to answer any of her questions about himself, originally. He wasn’t much of a talker, and even now he still didn’t say much. That was fine. The short moments in his company were entertaining enough. Especially when they got a chance to see his kekkei genkai in action. Admittedly, Asanoha had a bit of an abnormal obsession with watching it.

“Not only did it hurt. It was scary.” she admitted after a moment of silence, looking to her hand as she formed what seemed to be an abstract shape of ice within her palm. “I didn’t know who or what I was. But I knew enough to realize that there were many out there who wanted people like me dead. And there still are.”

As she spoke, the ice began to take shape into what looked like the very bones Kimimaro would use in battle. “An entire culture lost to time and bloodshed. It’s a shame, really.” she muttered wistfully as she turned her creation over in her hand a few times, studying it’s shape carefully before holding out for Kimimaro to look at.

“Did I get it right? It’s probably not nearly as strong as your bones.”

#wait a minute #just imagine for a second #Asanoha taking inspiration from Kimimaro's bones and making similar shapes from ice as a weapon #ribucage #verse: reflections in ice

1-5!

1 What’s your first impression of the roleplay community on Tumblr? And what’s your impression of it now?

Oh wow that goes back. I was intimidated by everyone and second-guessed (also third, and fourth-guessed) every interaction I had. I didn’t know any of the unspoken rules, what was normal or too much.

Now I’m much more relaxed about it. People are just people after all. We’re all a bit scared and sad. Whether it’s a character from something that already exists or an oc, they reached out and told you that they still had a story to be told. And now we’re all sharing those stories with each other. It’s beautiful! That’s why I try to read everything even though I’ve yet to reach my goal of writing more.

2 Tell us about the first fandom you roleplayed in. Are you still a part of it or have you moved on to others?

God first ever?? Pokemon oekaki boards. Most of the sites don’t exist any more. I’m still a fan of pokemon for sure, and I’m willing to rp with pokemon blogs or have verses related to it.

3 Who was your first muse?

In the above situation it was a fake eevee evolution called ‘eclipseon’. It’s a little embarrassing but I’m proud of my past self for trying.

4 How many roleplay blogs do you have?

Just this one and Hashirama right now. I’ve had a lot more in the past, and wouldn’t be against having new ones, but I’m in a phase where I have to be REALLY into a character to make a blog for them.

(  Mun’s Asks: RP Edition )

What are your thoughts on duplicates?

Duplicates are dope. Everyone brings something different and unique to the table with their interpretations. 

The only time I start to get iffy with duplicates is if I’m already following a handful because after a certain point I start to get confused on who’s who lmfaooo that’s my own fault, I can only keep track of so many people. I try to not let if affect me too much. There has yet to be a time where I’ve been like ENOUGHHHH because like, 10 Sakuras were following me or something. 

What’s your impression on blogs who are selective/private?

Considering I’m selective and private myself, I can’t say I have much of an opinion outside of support. Everyone had different levels of comfort. Everyone has had different experiences on this platform that might warrant them being selective and private. 

Personally, I’m selective because I want to look through and see if a person’s writing and portrayal are going to mesh well with mine. My muse is strongest when I know there’s a possibility of good interaction. Not just rping for the sake of having as many people to rp with as possible. I’m selective because I want to see if they’re a seemingly nice person OOC. 

Being private just makes sense to me, I can’t wrap my head around RPing with someone I don’t follow, as me following someone signifies I’m interested in their content and would like to RP. I’m private because I respect other people’s decisions to not follow if they don’t want to interact, which means I will unfollow and keep my dash clean and full of people who I KNOW are fully interested in interacting. 

What do you expect from others when they want to roleplay?

Some amount of reciprocity. Like, don’t make me do all the work and vice versa. I don’t want anyone to think I’m not pulling my weight. I try to contribute. Sometimes I miss things and that’s my bad. I think there should be give and take when it comes to asks, threads, plotting etc. Like, I’ll notice if it seems like I try to send lots of asks your way, yet I barely get any sent back or I pitch plot ideas and don’t get much of a conversation out of it, for example. We’re not perfect so obviously I’m not super anal if people miss things or forget them but more if it’s a constant pattern of behaviour. 

OH, and please read my pages. Like, PLEASE. Especially since I’m an OC. It’s super obvious when someone has no idea about her. Like, I don’t expect you to memorize her entire bio, but please have some general gist or just go back and check things! That’s what it’s there for! Same goes for my rules. Nothing peeves me more when I see someone trying to rp right out the gate and I haven’t even followed them. Which sucks, because maybe your blog seemed cool and I kinda wanted to follow but then you jumped the gun which tells me you didn’t bother to look at my rules and if you didn’t bother with that one little thing what else won’t you bother with? That’s not a rabbit hole I wanna go down. 

What are your thoughts on people who goes all out on the aesthetic for their blogs? Do you think they’re have the right to express their creativity however they want? 

Look, I think aesthetic is good, great even. I value creativity and how people want to show off their blogs. I love certain aesthetics and to be on brand. What I don’t like is when people start to compromise accessibility for aesthetic. I’m talking 3x small font, random bolded and unicode text in rps, extensive use of non standard paragraph organization, tiny container themes, themes where links blend into the background and it takes me 10 mins of searching just to find someone’s pages. THAT’s when I start to have problems. 

I think you can still cater to your aesthetic and make things look pretty and nice without making them infuriating to read. You can have a cool theme with pretty art and neat editing that isn’t the size of a pin head and is hard to navigate. You can have pages that are easy to read but still have an eye catching font.

I think this is less of an issue now than it used to be but I also didn’t like the culture of superiority that was sometimes associated with people who had heavily custom coded themes and cool photoshop edits. You’re not “better” because you have access to or the ability to edit a agirlinggrey theme and make a gif header. It’s great that you can, but lets not look down on people who chose not to (or simply can’t) and have simpler themes or posts.

I definitely think people have a “right” to make their blogs look however the hell they want, you could make it florescent orange with neon green glowing text but that doesn’t exactly exempt them from people complaining about it or potentially not following because it’s just too much to deal with. Like, there’s definitely been times where I opened a blog, couldn’t find their pages for the life of me, so just closed the tab and didn’t follow them lol. In conclusion, be aesthetic, but like...be chill about it.

SEND ME ‘⚰️‘ TO FIND MY MUSE VISITING A GRAVE. - Not Accepting

@ribucage​ asked: ⚰️ / kabuto!

It was supposed to be a simple mission in Iwagakure. Truly, Kabuto wasn’t sure why Kimimaro even needed to accompany him - the medic was skilled enough to fight his own battles, to perform his own reconnaissance. But, if Orochimaru ordered them to team up, then neither of them were in a position to deny them, so he simply assented.

(Even if, admittedly, one of Kabuto’s greatest traumas occurred in this very village - he was certain he could take care of himself.)

And it is indeed going well. The information the duo was sent to acquire is stored securely in a scroll, one that he himself holds. They cut through hidden paths, avoiding detection, not a single other Shinobi or Kunoichi in sight, though he of course scans the ground, the cliffs, the trees -

And Kabuto nearly falls when he realizes just where in Iwa they have been running through, as his eyes fall on a wooden cross, marking the spot where a well-respected ninja had herself fallen. 

“Kimimaro ... Wait.” Kabuto’s breath hitches in his throat; had he not called the other Shinobi’s name, it could have easily appeared that he had forgotten Kimimaro was even there. Kabuto walks forward, staring at the name on the grave, a lump in his throat, his eyes blinking rapidly to try and dispel tears.

At some point, he begins to take off his glasses, though he seems unaware that he’s even moving.

“This grave ... It belongs to my ... ”

{ ‘who ... are ... you ...’ }

“Mother ... ”

@firestcrm sent 2, 9 & 13 for multi-muse munday !

2. Which muse(s) do you wish had more interactions?

I want to use my Gaara more so people can see how different he is to canon and fanon. I explained this to Lio ( @icecurse & @ribucage ) but his development in my portrayals case is stretched out way longer than canon. I should do his forms first but oof. So Gaara, Temari, Tsunade, and Fuu!

9. Which of your muses do you most identify with? Why?

Jesus, uh... Absolutely none of them. None on this blog anyway, I identify more with Sakura. But she’s not on this blog. But I gave it some thought but none came to mind. Maybe Temari? Because I’m an older sister and have been told I’m quite intimidating, so. Maybe her? Lol.

13. In how many fandoms are you currently active?

On tumblr, only two. Naruto and Overwatch!

1, 6, 16, 21!

1. What was your first impression of the roleplay community on Tumblr? And what’s your impression of it now?

To start off, I knew tumblr existed, but I knew absolutely nothing about it or how posting worked. Being that I’ve always mostly created ocs, and the first blog I made was an oc blog, it of course took awhile to get my foot in the door and get some roleplay partners. For the most part, any of the roleplay communities I’ve been in are usually pretty warm and friendly. I just try to tell myself that most are busy and anxious too. What I noticed on my first blog (my ffxiv one) that seems to be similar is that there was a shift to more like aesthetic type posting. Which isn’t bad! I just really miss like seeing back and forth interactions on my dash more often, though. Or the thing everyone used to call “crack” rp. My current impression is, I don’t mind the current state of things now. It was just something I had to get used to.

6. What are your thoughts on the current roleplay trends on here right now?

The trends??? Icons. It was not something that I cared about doing at first. But I see the appeal in them. They are fun to use sometimes. I still don’t do the super fancy formatting or anything either because I just can’t be bothered to stress about it. I do wonder sometimes if I should give it a try, but then I know I would just not get anything done. Honestly, there is not much that comes to mind about this. Most trends tend to pass right over my head anyways. I am always late to the party.

16. What do you expect from others when they want to roleplay?

The funny thing is, I don’t think I really expect a lot, honestly! Basic stuff like a rules page and maybe even a little information about your character(s). I am super chill about most things. I tend to prefer having a little ooc interaction because I do like to get to know who I’m roleplaying with and sometimes, I just have questions about rps and such. I like making friends!! I say this, knowing that I am shy af initially... aNYWAYS. It’s mostly cause maybe sometimes I may not have the energy or braincells for rp. And I don’t ever want the person behind the character to feel like they don’t matter, if that makes sense??? I care and I have a lot of love to give.

21. What is it you prefer: angst, fluff, or smut? Why?

I actually... do not have an exact preference! I mean, if I think about my rp history, I did tend to lean into angsty territory with any character I’ve roleplayed. But that is not always the case! Like one oc of mine that I can think of off the top of my head that didn’t have an angsty background story is my Pokemon Sword/Shield oc. Fluff is always good, too! Like both platonically and romantically. Cuddles, comfort, hand holding??? All of that. As for smut... WELL.. I’m not against doing that. But I don’t do it too often recently only because I am not confident in my abilities. LIKE, I have no idea what happened, cause I didn’t care back then and I was great at it. SHRUGS. Maybe one day. TLDR: the sweet spot between angst and fluff is my thing.

MANHANDLING SYMBOL STARTERS - Accepting

@ribucage​ asked: ♧ - slap my muse’s hand away from something they shouldn’t touch / for kabuto!

Kabuto is momentarily startled when Kimmimaro slaps his hand away from the scroll his patient holds, but none of this shows on his face. Instead, the medic smiles, though the warmth it implies does not quite reach his eyes.

“My, my. Whatever’s the matter? You do realize I am Lord Orochimaru’s closest confidante, yes? Whatever it is they’ve given you, I am certain they won’t be opposed to me seeing it. Why, they might even ask me if I’m familiar with it, and then where would we be?”

Kabuto reaches out again, his expression taking on a wolfish leer, as if he’s about to make some cruel comment on Kimmimaro’s failing health -

When Kabuto withdraws, and he lets out a laugh, as if he’s just told a funny joke.

“Oh, I’m only kidding. If you wish to keep their gift a secret, then I won’t press you for it. While I don’t doubt that they would tell me if I asked, or that they might inform me of this of their own volition in due time - if you wish for me not to touch it, then I won’t. I’m not heartless, you know.”
