*beacons you to a dark corner* psssst hey, you 𫵠do you want a sneak peek for the new AU Iām working on?
Hehehe of course you do >;)
Cyborg!Anko for my Bulletproof Hearts AU!! Thereās a lot of context needed to make this make sense (and Iāll get into it once Iām done *at least* Genma and Kakashiās character sheets as well) but uhhh the AU is mainly based on the MCR Killjoys universe, but I take inspiration from Cyberpunk, Fallout, Mad Max, Trigun⦠so think retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic Japanese -American fusion :) The tokujo squad run a gas station out in the middle of the wastes which they also use as Ankoās mechanic shop, Genmaās radio station, and the base of operations for the rebellion against the fascist government of Neo-Konoha! So if that sounds interesting stay tuned because Iāve got lots where thatās coming from!!!
Reading a slow burn and thereās finally romance: impossible whopper, ācause it should be impossible to look this good!
It ends in angst: when is it my turn to be happy
Donāt mind me, just crying over Matt and Mello fanfic again
infra-red my beloved
(for @konoharfts Bulletproof Hearts!AU <3)
Iāve been deep into art block for ages, but this fic of Jamil dancing with Yuu brought me out of it.
I am my own target audience, but I thought some of yāall would appreciate my funky lil Jamil design.
(My Yuu-sona is the one on the left)
Aka an art study but i get the excuse to draw some of my favs <3 (thanks @baileythebean for the suggestion!)
*this piece is a study of @i-sensei97ās art on twitter so if you like this piece please check out their stuff too!!
Making this blog almost 5 years ago for the purpose of engaging with the Naruto fandom only for me to not engage with the Naruto fandom, then proceeding to go on multiple fandom side quests to then NOW come back to my Naruto brainrot (when itās so much more intense too) is making me feel like Odysseus returning to Penelope
*comes out of the woods like a criptid*
Wow, hey guys! Havenāt been around these parts in *checks calendar* NINE DAYS???
Uhhhh hehe woops! I did NOT mean to be gone that long :P
I swear I had good reason⦠youāll see soon šš (also l i f e has been happening so I havenāt been able to make art as much T~T BUT REJOICE FOR THE DROUGHT IS NEARLY OVER!!!)
Get ready for a big ol lore and art dump post whenever Iām finished writing the AU intro >>:)
In my mind he found the picture when he was in early days in ANBU in some abandoned locker and just like⦠kept it. He was a young teen with his only outlets being violence and atrocities so a well loved picture of a sexy mystery man really got him through the thick of it.
He had no idea who it was until MUCH later, but by that point heād already grown attached to it so he couldnāt just get rid of it.
Kakashi is DEVESTATED he thought he was finally free from the worst of it but no.. his Kohai had to choose betrayal š¤·āāļø
I was actually 3/4 of the way through drawing it originally with Genma instead of Tenzo, but then I thought āyāknow what would be hilarious actually?ā So yeah Iām so glad you like it! :D I always love seeing your headcanons, they always fill me with so much joy <3
*crawls out of the pit*
Niche edition, so bare with me-
Naruto doing fox things randomly (thank you @alternitavely )
T&I being the home of Konohaās rumour mill, and specifically Aoba and Anko being PROLIFIC gossipers (Ibiki pretends to hate it but he doesnāt stop them)
Not from a fic but @oh-no-its-bird turned me on to the concept of Sakumo Hatake being a sex symbol back in the day and it haunting Kakashi. It has not left my head since.
Alright thatās it, if I can think of more I might do this series semi-periodically but weāll see š¤·āāļø
Also thank you so much for liking part 1 of this series, it makes me so happy that people enjoy my brainworms <3
āTill next time byee~
New Bulletproof Hearts AU lore just dropped
Here, have Kakashi and Genmaās character intros and thumbnail designs and notes for 6 out of the main 7!!! (Iāve already posted Anko ;) )
(If this is the first Bulletproof Hearts AU post youāre seeing, for context this is my Danger Days inspired AU featuring the tokujo squad and also Kakashi :) )
And now for the official intro:
In the fallout following the Resource Wars , and shortly after we lost Kiri to the waves, the Senju company in collaboration with the Red Fan company establish Neo-Konoha, the new capitol of the remnants of the Land of Fire. A shiny new city free from the troubles of post-war faction life, and the dizzying desert heat.
Here in the city everything runs on chakra energy. No more nuclear or fossil fuels, thatās for the old-world now. By tapping into the ādragon veinsā flowing through the earth chakra can be cultivated and converted into the fuel that powers all of Neo-Konohaās beloved bright lights, hover-cars, gadgets, and gizmos. Itās even opened up the doorway to cybernetics and body-modification. With chakra being an energy source that resonates with life itās never been easier to merge man and tech. Now, many new companies wanting to make their mark on chakra-tech industries have sprouted up, and Chakra City (Neo-Konoha) is very kind to those wanting to contribute to the expansion of the city, and the growth of the economy.
The city is split into three main branches. The tall buildings and neon lights of the inner-city, the seedy bars and backroom deals of the under-city, and the plastic smiles and white picket fences of the residential district. Everything inside the city walls is labeled as Neo-Konoha, and everything outside in the wide open desert plains is labeled as the Outer-Ring, where many live in the little non-radiated pockets of barely habitable land. Made barely habitable thanks to the over mining of chakra, causing the land to be drained of its vitality. Life in the O.R is rough, itās a lawless wasteland filled with criminals, thugs, and the kindest and realest people youāll ever meet. Itās the home of all of those who donāt belong inside the city walls. Those who were cast out, or those who chose to leave, and those who had no choice but to be born.
After the tragic death of chairman Minato Namikaze the Golden Era of Neo-Konoha has been replaced my Sarutobi Hiruzenās age of radio silence, aided by president of ROOT Danzo Shimra whoās company specializes in keeping the people āin lineā. A powerful regime threatened only by a newly established pack of desert rats out in the Outer-Ring consisting of two of Minatoās former bodyguards, the previous head of the intelligence division, a woman whoās more machine than human, a sickly smuggler, and more recently a once-double agent turned pink hearted. These anarchists call themselves Wildfire.
Operating out of an abandoned gas station from back in the old era of gas powered vehicles Wildfireās unofficial leader Genma Shiranui runs a 24h radio station - titled S.E.N.B.O.N radio - where you can tune in to all of the greatest punk-rock hits AND get all the information you need regarding the movement of Neo-Konohaās exterminators, soldiers, and SCARECROWs out in the O.R. How to best avoid them, and how to best blast āem to one of the four respectable levels of dead without sending yourself sky high with āem. Unintentionally Shiranui becomes somewhat of a guardian angel for the people struggling against the chains of oppression out in the wastes. What was once a station created to provide some musical escape with just a sprinkling of survival tricks turned into the stage in which the revolution is set.
In that same gas station thatās home to such an iconic station are all of the other main members of Wildfire. Weāve got Anko Mitarashi, who has a mechanic shop where she can do just about anything given the proper materials. Anything from mods to prosthetics, vehicle repair and customization, making whole new gadgets, and making cyber-cycles from scratch. Meanwhile, when heās not out on an assignment RaidÅ Namiashiās running the āconvenience storeā thatās really just a front for the whole fence thing theyāre running. Ibiki Morino is used as the groupās āintimidation and muscleā but when heās not scaring Konoha dogs shitless heās slaving over his pride and joy, a car thatās more modifications than car. Hayate GekkÅ manages their connections to the smuggling routes and also makes it his life mission to act like the stationās cat. Agent YÅ«gao Uzuki, former SCARECROW assigned to take down the rebels, turned double agent, turned Wildfire loyalist tries to take charge of planning as much as she can. After witnessing the state of the leadership in the revolt rocking konoha sheās flabbergasted they accomplished as much as they did.
On the side of Neo-Konoha Kakashi Hatake, Mad Dog, agent #07, and Hiruzenās top SCARECROW, is assigned to take Wildfire down. The group consisting of his old comrades and friends, before they turned traitor. With his soldier prowess and the use of the advanced AI program āB2ā, created by Obito uchiha, Kakashi is the only individual able to stand against Wildfire, the question is, does his loyalty to Neo-Konoha and his trust in āObitoā outweigh the ache he feels. The niggling feeling that thereās something very wrong, something heās missing.
This is not a tale about heroes. This is not a tale about glory. This is a tale about people. People living, and people dying, and people clawing their way through life, and people snapping at the hand that tightens the leash. There is no victor, there is no clean cut, just what is left when the fire burns through. The embers that sparked the Wildfire are doomed to fizzle out and die in the infancy of the flame. But as long as you stick around to witness the trees burn, they cannot claim it hadnāt happened at all. When a tree falls in a forest, tune in to the sound. Because remember, they canāt control you if you donāt give in to the silence.
Orrrrr
The tokujo gang fight against the oppressive fascist regime of Neo-Konoha while spreading chaos through the wastes and making Kakashiās life way harder :)
So yeah, I hope that makes sense T~T itās so late at night when Iām writing this I fear I may be too crypticā¦. BUT PLEASE TELL ME YOU GET THE VISION!!
If anyone is interested in more lore feel free to ask anything <<33 Iām going to try and post some mini comics and blurbs for this AU often-ish (for art practice and also I want to push my brainworms onto yāall) so stay tuned?
Alright I think thatās enough yapping (for now ;) ) if anyone read all of that I shall give you one (1) soft little forehead kith :) šš
Okay byeeee~~~
