His Second Puberty Hit Him Hard. A Completely Different Facial Structure. Not Even That, Compared To

But Sasuke is too damaged to be a good partner. Have you seen Boruto? In canon, he’s not great. He’s not the angry child he was as a teenager but it seems his character development leaned into being less angry than being a better friend or partner. He still does the bare minimum and gets rewarded for it. The canon explanation for his actions are work-related but the writers can’t write him to be more involved because it doesn’t align with his character. Yes there are my opinions but I take them from the canon and assess it on my own. If you keep up with Boruto, you know that I literally reference the plot points without actually citing and referencing them. At the end of the day, it seems you only have an issue with the one sentence that I wrote “damaged and can never recover”. I don’t know what to say, you gotta read the next sentence and more. I said it’s complicated and I never directly said he’s a bad partner, he’s just not a good one because people want more from him that he can’t give due to writing issues. Naruto and Sakura (from my understanding) want much more in a partner than what Sasuke can provide. He’s not doing it purposely to hurt them, he just wants to be alone but as a father and husband he can’t. That’s not a bad thing because it’s better for him in the end.

Regarding trauma, I don’t know what to say - I know enough not to engage too much on that topic here. I’m talking about a fictional character who has deep trauma. He’s not a real person so what you stated previously doesn’t really matter to me or apply. Me making that comment doesn’t mean it’s a reflection on how I view people with real pain. He has a fictional past and issues. The writers can absolutely retcon his entire backstory by tomorrow. What I said about his character doesn’t exactly apply to real people. He is a fictional character in a story with a beginning and end. Within that space, he’s not a great partner or friend. The canon reasonings for enough positive development on that area seems to be from his backstory. It just goes against his character I guess. It sounds like you relate a lot to Sasuke’s trauma and feel personally attacked by my comment. That’s my only comment on your personal being.

I don’t think I said anything particularly awful, if anything I reiterated the canon material with my own spin on the wording. I also didn’t say I felt attacked, I just said you were aggressive accusing me of being a bad person. We will agree to disagree there and the world keeps moving. I still do think you need to chill. You’re not gonna survive the real world if you are losing it after a comment like that about Naruto x Sasuke.

I think Boruto era Naruto x Sasuke shippers need to understand that Sasuke won’t be a better partner if he’s with Naruto. It doesnt matter if he secretly elopes with Naruto, he won’t be staying. He has commitment issues and literally can’t stay in one place for too long. I know he loves his brother still but his brother is the sole reason why he’s an incredibly damaged individual who literally will never recover from his trauma. I get that it’s super complicated but it’s one of those things that are indescribable. His brother fucked him over when he didn’t need to (the 518400 times thing) that he fundamentally changed his brain chemistry.

Additionally, I feel like he can’t handle the responsibility of his personal life. He’s the kinda guy who will leave people on read or delivered for months you know? It’s the emotional baggage and genuinely wanting solitude even though he knows it’s not the best path for him. It’s almost like a bad habit, constantly wanting to be alone even though what gets you through the day is knowing you have loved ones waiting for you at home.

Romance does not factor into his character, he’s barely involved with his family because his trauma and baggage goes beyond that.

In canon, it’s because of his job and his past actions that make him feel unwelcome in the village sure. But why should he care about people he doesn’t know? The people he knows want him back more often. He just doesn’t want to for his atonement. He does prioritize Naruto over his family but he still sees the guy like every few years for half an hour before he teleports away again. He doesn’t even hang out with him when he’s back.

What I’m trying to say is that he would 100% treat Naruto the same way he treats Sakura as a romantic partner. Which is find excuses to not hang out and immediately leave after work is done.

People write fanfics about them owning an apartment or whatever, divorcing their partners to be with eachother, etc. yes it’s fanfic lol people can do whatever they want but I would love to read a fic that explores what I’m talking about here.

He covered everyone else’s face but Sasuke’s. This guy I SWEAR.

He’s not handling his absence well smh

Finished reading my lost himawari. It’s a SNS doujin that I understand has mixed to positive reviews.

I think it’s okay, a lot wrong with it tbh but there are two stand out chapters/sequences that I really wish were canon.

Naruto’s Hokage inauguration Genjutsu

Like a lot of people, I wasn’t very happy with the that fact Naruto missed his big day. I really like the idea that after Sasuke had heard about Naruto missing the event, he decided to put him in a genjutsu that had him experience it in his own way. It’s really thoughtful from Sasuke’s end, regardless of it coming from a sns fic. I just wish he actually did this because he cares about Naruto and knew how much being Hokage matters to him.

Conclusion to Shippuden Ep 479

This sequence was everything I wanted when I first watched the episode. I was shocked that Naruto was letting Sasuke go again without a fight. It’s like he seemed happy about Sasuke leaving the leaf again after all his efforts. I never thought Naruto would take the news gracefully. Additionally, the idea that Naruto would dissociate and stare into the distance for hours after Sasuke left is chefs kiss. He 💯 did that in canon. I also like the implication, that despite Naruto getting what he wanted on paper, he still doesn’t have sasuke by his side all the time. There is nothing more painful than knowing that phones and all exist (also teleporting) but Naruto doesn’t hear back from Sasuke unless it’s in person which in canon is every two to ten years of radio silence. It’s heart breaking and sometimes, it makes sense why some people think he somewhat moved on to Hinata because he was in some sense, killing time and found a way to cope with Sasuke’s absence by spending time with someone who makes time for you. Nothing is stopping them from seeing eachother and no one is getting chased around.

Anyways, those are my thoughts. Fics about cheating are complicated because the topic itself is such a bummer. I get long time fans being disappointed in the pairings but wow does it feel like major projection at times.

Also it’s weird but I’m conflicted on the sns ship. I still believe it’s one-sided and also Sasuke shouldn’t be in a relationship because he is the problem in all of his pairings. That being said, I like the doujin writers take that sasuke and Naruto would take turns doing each other. Like the thought that both of them thought they were topping. I slightly prefer Sasuke as the one topping but whatever, that’s not important. I’m glad there is no nsfw moments until after the story concluded and everything else was filler lol

Something tells me South Park will be like how they treat the Looney Tunes show. It will have its original run but other people want South Park to continue, even if that means having new writing staff and voice actors. Honestly, I had no idea South Park was even worth that much money. I guess it really is cheap af to make.

‘South Park’ Creators Sign Massive New $900 Million Deal With ViacomCBS

The expanding ‘South Park’ universe will include new movies for Paramount+

Trey Parker and Matt Stone will use the money to make new episodes of “South Park” for Viacom’s Comedy Central network and to create several spinoff movies for the company’s Paramount+ streaming service, the parties said Thursday. Their first project under the new deal will be a movie set in the world of “South Park” that will debut some time before the end of the year.

Stone is reluctant to use the phrase “cinematic universe,” a term worn thin by Marvel and its many imitators. But, in many ways, that is what  Parker and Stone are now creating. The coming Paramount+ movies will expand on the existing world of “South Park” and introduce new concepts and characters.

TIMMY ! GOBBLES !

Someone sent this in the GC. Haven’t seen arcane season 2 yet but this is just neat 🥹

Naruto is like the greatest love story told accidentally by a guy who with the best intentions, really needed a second opinion.

As someone who is watching Naruto for the first time as an adult, despite being an anime fan for years- I think I honestly may have underestimated how impactful the show is.

I vaguely remember having some friends in elementary school in the year 2008, secretly shipping Naruto and Sasuke but I never bothered to learn more about that because I didn’t watch the show.

Now I see the vision. Honestly I’m quite shocked parents didn’t learn how gay Naruto and Sasuke were and didn’t protest to stop their kids from watching it in the early to late 2000’s. Like you’re telling me, millions of children were watching Naruto and Sasuke declare their love towards each other (platonically I suppose) and just staring at the TV screen, taking it all in with eyes glued to the action. Inspirited by what they say, they went to a website called YouTube and made some of the first AMV ever with Linkin Park playing over the two characters fist fighting eachother in the most angsty way ever?

Damn
