Dude chill. I just gave my opinion on the ship after reading a dozen fics. At the end of the day they are my opinion. I think instead of aggressively accusing me of something, maybe you should relax and not take everything as an attack or micro aggression. It’s easy to call people out on black or white thinking but it also applies to you too. The reason why no one called me out is because a few dozen people agree with me. It’s that simple. You can disagree with my opinion on Sasuke’s character and we can agree to disagree.
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.
Banana fish started off good but got repetitive by the end
I always saw Ash and Eiji as best friends but I do see the romantic subtext between them
Ash is asexual. VERY ASEXUAL.
I wish Eiji was cooler, I never got into his character even until the end
I find Eiji an underwhelming character and I wish he was more confident and acted his age, since he’s older than Ash and gang
Banana fish has not aged well because there is too much shock value and it’s SO 80sss
The anime wasn’t good and a bad adaptation of a decent manga
The entire fanbase is about shipping the main two leads and I don’t find that productive and I think those fans have missed the point of the story
The fact that the story was post vietnam and ww2, I wish the racial tensions between the characters were more prevalent - imagine if Eiji and Ash didn't like each other at first because of post ww2 tensions??
I wish the characters spoke like they were from the 80s, what I mean is that people 40 years ago were not PC or mindful of language at all
I really really really want a 90s/2000s coming of age show like Boy Meets World or Malcolm in the Middle but canonically gay. Like I’m talking 90s cameras, graphics, sound equipment for the full effect. I’m talking full-on sexuality crisis for the main character in the same episode style as all the others, where there is a clear setup and story line and it becomes more of a background thing later on and just becomes so normal for the story and the characters that it’s like it was always there, but can be brought back into the forefront for other episode arcs. And then of course you can put in a romance arc… ;)
Been rewatching Malcolm in the Middle and something I realized now as an adult was both Francis’ & Malcolm’s mommy issues.
Their issues manifest differently. Francis just complains about Lois and openly spites her.
Malcolm does the same but unfortunately goes down the path where his character seems to be attracted to girls and women much older than him.
I had a feeling in the back of my head that Malcolm’s mommy issues would manifest that way, in a reverse stereotypical daddy issues situation I see in a lot of media as well. However, it’s still really disappointing.
In all fairness, it doesn’t help that the audience grows up with Malcolm and that his actor looks younger than his character’s age.
They deserved to have a fistfight
light yagami is so fucking stupid in like a month they narrowed it down from like it could be anyone in the world.. to it could be anyone in japan to it could be anyone in the kanto region to it could be any student in the kanto region to its honestly probably one of the family members of these two policemen and my god this mans son is so fucking weird whats wrong with him like honestly i think L should have just taken the risk and hit light with a car one day and been like huh funny the kira murders stopped right this policemans son got hit by a car i asked my chauffeur to drive into him funny how that works out
Final fantasy 16 thoughts and mild spoilers
Can’t believe there was never a moment in the game where Clive called his brother Josh. Would have been hilarious.
Also where did the Clive who was just as dotting as his mother go?
When Joshua came back, I thought Clive would do the whole big brother thing he did when he was 15 but then realize he can’t scold his adult brother anymore.
All I want is grown man Clive telling Joshua the silly times they had when they were kids. Fond memories of him and Joshua playing or something. Why don’t they share stories of their youth? The last time Clive saw his baby brother was when he was 10. No comments about his appearance or anything?
Love this post but please remember same sex marriage is illegal in most East Asian countries. Maybe because I’m East Asian but only queer people would see it that way. I’m sure the animators are aware of the show’ no homo status but to the average Japanese viewer, those two women are not wlw.
Shout out to the married wlw couple sitting behind the Kurusu-Suwa family maybe gay people are real after all
I think the stage play did a decent job of adapting this two :)
Also really like the costuming too.
Update: it’s not an ESL thing it’s literally the whole “I like pancakes - so you hate waffles” mindset that mainly comes from American users. As someone living in Canada, I’ve never experienced anyone who has that sort of mindset before and I used to work in mental health services. I’m so Canadian that I thought it was a language barrier because the black and white thinking is really bizarre to me.
The issue I have with Sakura stans as another Sakura fan is that some have a tendency to think black or white. I’m unsure if it’s because of how much hate a character who really didn’t deserve it got during the Naruto heyday.
Regardless, if you have an opinion that isn’t 💯 positive all around, a subsection of fans will attack you. Like you can literally say nothing negative about the character and people will act like you do.
Maybe it’s a ESL thing. I find that if I’m having a discussion with someone and it’s clear to me that we are talking about two different things, the miscommunication is from a language barrier, people can’t read well or it’s anger issues that makes people skip words.
For example, I had a discussion about Sakura and Naruto’s dynamic with Sasuke. I said that Sakura is the more reasonable one as Naruto’s constant defending for Sasuke even though he’s technically wrong is absurd. But that’s just Naruto. He sees the good in everyone, even people who genuinely don’t deserve it at times.
Somehow someone took that and responded with I’m calling Sakura a whore, bitch and dumb and that I’m sexist. If Sakura did it she’s that but when Naruto does it it’s endearing LMAO.
Me dunking on Naruto and saying Sakura is more reasonable is apparently swapped in that person’s mind.
Honestly there is a reason why people don’t like Sakura fans because some of them took the hate that her character got and took it in the wrong direction.
A soft spot for big brother
