Kakashi: Yeah once he cried for an hour because his brother was late to tuck his dinosaur plushie into bed with him
Kakashi: And once I came to the Uchiha compound and he attacked me with his toy shuriken
Kakashi: And he’d fight me for Itachi’s attention at the dinner table
Naruto and Sakura: omg omg omg what else
Kakashi: And one time-
Sasuke: I WAS FOUR

Would they be at the smoke sesh? Naruto edition
Shikamaru: starts it, obviously. Definitely the asshole who spends fifteen minutes grinding and brushing and rolling a joint. Smokes the entire time and passes out as soon as people leave.
Choji: brings a bong. And the snacks.
Ino: is there but only because of fomo. Hits the bong and smokes the joint exactly once. Gets hella giggly with Sakura.
Naruto: is at the sesh, passes the joint with Shikamaru for a bit and munches with Choji after. Is ultimately there for a good time.
Sakura: shows up once in a while, usually late, with homemade (and very strong) eddies for her and ino (and absolutely no one else, will tell people to fuck off if they ask). Gets hella loud and giggly.
Sasuke: lowkey very straight laced. Rarely indulges and if he does not very much. Prefers edibles because he’s worried about smoke damaging his lungs and not being able to fight because of late onset asthma. Tried to get higher than Naruto once to prove that he can handle more but definitely got super paranoid and bad and never did it again.
Sai: makes fun of people for willingly subjecting their nervous systems to this. Rarely comes if ever, and when he does it’s to observe this part of the human bonding experience under impairment.
Hinata: usually doesn’t come, brings homemade cookies or brownies if she does (not the funny kind just normal sweets). These are fully devoured by Naruto and Choji.
Kiba: brings an extra joint to pass around in the circle, gets loud and obnoxious with Naruto and competes with him for snacks even though he doesn’t have the munchies.
Shino: the actual supplier of the joint Kiba brings. A regular part of the circle, very very quiet to the point people think he’s not good but he just gets too high to really want to move his mouth.
Neji: rarely comes as he doesn’t approve, only ever joins if Hinata wants to go or if Lee/Tenten/Naruto bother him into coming. Doesn’t indulge, but spends most of the night observing his friends and laughing (affectionately).
Lee: takes one hit exactly, somehow gets extremely high, and is yelling and rolling around and paranoid and woozy. It’s usually not very bad but he thus very rarely joins in the actual circle.
Tenten: definitely a fixture in the circle. Brings her own weed about half the time so that she’s not bumming off everyone else but has someone else roll it. Outsmokes Naruto and Shino but not Choji, Shikamaru, or Kiba. Knows when she’s done and hangs out with Neji and Lee or Ino and Sakura after depending on who’s there. Ultimately has a good time and goes home.

^^ Bc I need people to see how I envision this (I know I didn’t say true to my own initial wording but whatever)
In a Team 7 Meeting:
Sasuke: Kakashi, where do babies come from?
Naruto: Damn Sasuke it’s so obvious even I know this.
Kakashi: Naruto how- do you think babies are made
Naruto: See Sasuke, when a man and a women love each other very much they go to the bedroom…
Naruto: And perform a summoning jutsu for the ninja stork!

Based on my last post, a List of Things Kishimoto Did Right in Naruto
After Sasuke left Orochimaru, having him find another team of powerful losers to hang out with
Making the Sannin super Great and Powerful and Legendary but also like an awful gambling addict, a porn writer, and a creepy mad scientist who later becomes a Boruto era milf
Ino-Shika-Cho and showing their dads do the same types of combos together
Making Kakashi a cool, capable jonin who’s also a pathetic loser who can’t keep his children in check and reads erotica in public
Itachi loving sweets and Sasuke hating them
Every goddamn thing about Killer Bee
Flashback to the Sage and the baby little tailed beasts
The Naruto-Kurama friendship and Kurama calling him a brat (endearing)
Kisame shark boy character design (and also the super unique character designs for all the different Akatsuki members)
Nagato-Yahiko-Konan froggy costumes and Naruto’s froggy wallet
Reverse harem jutsu on Kaguya
Kakashi sweet talking Yamato to get him to take over his responsibilities
That’s all for now feel free to add others
Edit to add: Kakashi’s ninja dogs (pakkun is so cutie)

Kishimoto made a lot of mistakes with the Naruto narrative but he went off when he made Jiraiya the author of Kakashi’s favorite erotica series.

I love how people say that team 7 is so found family and how Kakashi is their dad like-
First of all Sakura has parents like she doesn’t need to find a family they’re her friends, teammates, and teacher. Sasuke is traumatized by family he doesn’t want another brother look what the last one did. Saying Naruto considers his two crushes to be family is weird.
And not to mention the traumatized mess that is Kakashi Hatake who is terrified of letting people in and probably subsists off of Gai’s protein shakes? He can’t be on time to anything and collects erotica which he then reads in public please do not make him anyone’s father. (That being said it’s cute when fics or fanart refer to team 7 as his kids and he’s their stupid little dad)

Yes Kakashi ignored Sakura and was a bad sensei to her but my silly little take on it is that he simply didn’t know what to do with someone who came from a normal family and was taught manners and was otherwise a well adjusted member of society.
Like he gets Naruto and Sasuke’s angst and darker impulses and anger to an extent and why they want to be shinobi and he sees this girl who comes into training with a smile bc her mom’s making her favorite for dinner and she and her dad made up after an argument and he just like. Short circuits

Rip tsunade you would’ve loved snapchat, online poker, and greys anatomy
Rip orochimaru you would’ve loved being part of CIA conspiracies and burlesque
Rip jiraiya you would’ve loved tinder premium and booktok

Yes I understand that Naruto takes place in a world controlled by military states, some of the best characters are those who are tools of the state and are endlessly manipulated, the Hidden Leaf is not really the “good side,” lots of relationships are forced, women aren’t written well if at all, ur fav is problematic etc. etc.
Yes I still like to see pics of Itachi and Sasuke playing board games, Neji lives aus where he and Kakashi have to run after Gai and Lee to convince them to eat instead of doing more push-ups, Kakashi walking into his house to see that Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke have set up camp there, etc. etc.
These two things are not mutually exclusive.

You think you can hurt me? I just watched the Kakashi vs. Obito fight where they seamlessly transition between their fight as adults and them sparring as kids, the weight of what they could have been hanging in the air the whole time all set to sad orchestral music. Shut up.

Adding on to my earlier post, how good the original yugioh cast would be at driving a car:
Yugi: 2/10. I’m sorry. The boy is 5 foot max. He needs a cushion to see over the windshield and slightly struggles to reach the break. He’s so so so good at the theoretical stuff and he always knows who has right of way and what all the signs mean. But he makes everyone nervous when he pulls that seat all the way up and is white knuckled with his tight grip on the wheel, stressed until he parks again.
Joey: 5.5/10. Solid driver, grew up with a beat old Camry with a tough steering wheel and can drive pretty much anything. Will go with you to the mechanic so you don’t get scammed. Absolutely drives at least 10 over the speed limit and is only urged on by his driving playlist full of super fast songs. King of the California stop.
Tristan: 8/10. Good driver. Passed his test on the first try, always comes to a complete stop. Needs the seat out almost all the way. Pleasant radio music and windows open, can have a conversation with you when he drives. But will get stressed in heavy traffic and mostly likely will snap at you. You probably have to ask him for permission to eat in his car.
Tea: 7/10. Also a solid driver, always stays within the speed limit and doesn’t get stressed too easily. The only exception is rich assholes in fancy cars who weave in and out of lanes really quick; she WILL race them in her 8 year old Honda thats due for maintenance soon while cussing them out the whole time, not caring who’s in the car with her. Can drive well but ideally is playing passenger to Tristan. She and Joey trade off the front seat and Yugi’s forever in the back.
Seto: -2/10. The rich asshole in a blue eyes white Tesla, weaving in and out of lanes and laughing as the plebs try to keep up. Mokuba is nauseous but egging him on. He treats all speed limits and most stoplights and yield and stop signs as vague suggestions at the very best and parks in fire lanes because the fine is pocket change to him. No food in his car. Only Mokuba is allowed to sit in the passenger seat and others are lucky if he lets them sit in the back. Every time he drives somewhere he expects valet parking because finding a spot is too mundane for him (again, he will just otherwise leave the car wherever even if it’s a fire lane). No one has better job security that his chauffeur because Mokuba pays to make sure Seto only drives rarely.
Mokuba: can’t drive yet, never wants to learn because he has a chauffeur, plus his only role model for driving who’s not a professional driver is Seto, so he’s kind of scared of it.
Bonus! Atem: 3/10. Better (and taller) than Yugi because he has a calmer and more authoritative presence that makes people feel like he knows what he’s doing, but only knows the rules of the road because Yugi drilled them into him. He’s a pharaoh, both the modern technology and being his own charioteer are fundamentally incompatible with his being and he always feels like something is wrong when he drives.

People need to understand that when I discuss Naruto pairings I rarely actually care about the pairing in question. I’m not a hardcore shipper. I will accept the headcannons and writing and art for whatever unless it’s genuinely wrong (I’m talking orochimaru/sasuke type shit do not talk to me about that he’s a creepy kidnapper). But I see your naruto/sasuke, naruto/gaara, lee/gaara, neji/tenten, kakashi/guy or obito or hell even iruka and I accept it. Why? Bc all I really care about is how you sell it. If I like your writing/art style I’m already halfway there and the only other criteria I have is how hard the author commits to the bit.
Have they gotten into the psyche of these characters? Does the basis for this ship in this AU make sense? Do I agree with the author’s vision on who plays the prank and who goes and apologizes for them the next day? Who offhandedly says they like strawberry desserts and who buys out the local store’s entire strawberry dessert section? Who’s waking up to go stargazing and who’s about to kill them for waking them up at 3 AM? That there’s all I really care about baby I’m in this fandom for the good analysis and stuff but otherwise I’m just looking at ships for vibes

Team 5Ds car driving skill (idk pretend they’re on a road trip or smth so I can talk about non duel runners)
Yusei: 4/10. Surprisingly bad considering how good a duel runner driver he is. The problem is he gets in a vehicle of any sort and immediately wants to go as fast as possible in it, which, in a car, is Terrifying for his passengers. A stickler for safety and seatbelts. He can go the speed limit, he just has to be very conscious of it as he drives. Also his fingers just itch to take it apart and put it back together and Jack and Crow have to physically take him away from his car when he’s alone in the garage.
Jack: 3/10. Awful road rage, the literal worst. Would get out of the car in standstill traffic to scream at others if not held back by Carly and the boys. Like Yusei, immediately gets in and wants to speed but is usually better about not doing it. Hates people eating or drinking in the car bc it’s his baby and he doesn’t want spills. Wants to drive but is the passenger princess if they won’t let him.
Crow: 6/10. Hear me out he’s probably used to driving kids around on his runner and knows how to drive at speeds people other than turbo duelists are comfortable with. Once he hits a back road or open space with few to no other drivers though it’s speeding time. Probably more lax about eating and drinking too. Has spare jackets and a case of waters in the trunk.
Akiza: 5/10. When she’s by herself, a wonderful driver, follows the rules and weaves through traffic beautifully and safety. Checks her mirrors before starting every time and has a special driving playlist, plus always has gum in the glovebox. When with others, gets so in her head about them judging her driving that she doesn’t pay attention to street signs, stoplights, or other cars. It’s agreed that she’ll drive places so she doesn’t need a ride but won’t give rides unless it’s an emergency.
Carly: 9/10. A seasoned driver we see her doing it a lot and she’s used to having other people in the car and driving one as her main form of transport. Is the one that teaches them about insurance and registration. Also had to teach them to drive and demands reparations.
Leo: cannot drive yet but that doesn’t stop him from sitting in the driver’s seat, full of hope, when they have to go somewhere. Has to be picked up by the scruff of his neck like a cat by Jack and tossed to the back with threats of putting him in the trunk.
Luna: cannot drive yet, doesn’t want to, but still relegated to the back seat so she’s mentally counting down the years until Leo to get his license so she can be his passenger princess.
Bonus! Bruno: 9/10. Can drive really well and picked it up really quickly but just never wants to do it. Goes up to a car and immediately gets in the back unless someone wants him to drive. The 5Ds equivalent of the kid who played Nintendo DS games in the backseat of their parents’ cars in the 2000s/early 2010s

Itachi Uchiha, my favorite tragic character. Couldn’t be drawing naruto characters in a frenzy of inspiration without including him. I’m thinking this is him in his Anbu gear as he preps for the inevitable massacre, the grim reaper looming over his shoulder. Don’t normally use a lot of color but I like the idea of Itachi in black and white while the reaper, a character normally in black and white, is in (albeit muted) color. Also had to include that red for the Sharingan.
There’s a wonderful passage in Terry Pratchet’s “Reaper Man” reflecting on the reaper being the one who carries out the task of collecting the souls of the dead, rather than the one calling for the actual death and making it happen. In a sense, I see Itachi as a sort of reaper character, self describing as a tool for Konoha rather than someone actually calling the shots and making the decisions. While he obviously has a hand in killing both here, in the Anbu, and as part of the Akatsuki, it’s interesting to ponder his self-imposed lack of agency as a shinobi, viewing himself as a means for others to realize their goals. Thoughts?

Ino and Shikamaru is a friendship I wish we’d seen more of on screen. Ino-Shika-Cho feels post Shippuden. Also Asuma feels.

Seeing a post over and over again about whether Seto Kaiba is homophobic or sexist and some people are making arguments as to why not.
The real reason he’s not sexist or homophobic is that he doesn’t care about anyone beyond their intelligence, capability with tech/what they can contribute to KaibaCorp, and their dueling skill. And if you manage to get him to care about you as a person then your attributes probably don’t really matter. (But he probably won’t care about you because you’re not Mokuba or Atem).

Last drawing of my artistic fervor today :) Naruto playing a little prank on Sasuke. Set kinda post Shippuden? I forgot the arm thing so um I’m gonna call it an AU where they keep both arms are stupid little high schoolers (bc they’re that age anyways). I love the boys. I will most likely never draw them again bc I hate drawing their hair it is hard. Their bond is deep yes but I love thinking about the shallow stupid parts >:D
