And no Rin wouldn't have forgiven Obito. And no she shouldn't have. And no she deserved to be and should've been allowed to be angry

@narutotravesties Ow ?? Owie ???
Out of all the characters' dynamics I will literally always return to the Sannin because how could you not... the deadlock. The fallout of decades of love.
There's nowhere they can go from where they are. No way to fix it. Because it's been too long and there's been so much time to grow bitter. They've hurt each other in too many ways to be able to see eye to eye in ways that no one else could. Because they knew each other so well, knew everything about one another or thought they did. And in the end that knowledge is only used to twist the knife.
The love and hate and exhaustion in their relationship is just so palpable.

Sorry for the lack of activity. In my defense I've played like 15 hours of Apex this week

Not to yell even more about Anakin Skywalker but. He's such a childish character, and to that end I think he sees things in very black and white terms. Things are either good or bad or right or wrong and it makes it so much harder for him (not to mention making him immensely easier to manipulate).
He makes mistakes and then doesn't confide in people because he thinks they'll no longer care for him, as though love is that easier quantified or so transactional because people will either trust him or they won't or they'll love him or they won't. He can't conceptualize of people continuing to care for him if they know too much about him. And in turn that makes him far more easily affected by Palpatine because Palpatine echoes back those same fears to make sure he doesn't stray too far.
His upbringing contributes a lot to it because he could either be useful or not. Be strong or not. Handle what he needs to or not. It's a viewpoint built for survival which much like his other habits turns around to bite him long term.
I think that's a lot of what makes Anakin so devastating. Because in so many ways shit just kind of happens around him and he drowns trying to catch up. His entire selfhood is built around trying to claw onto any bit of control he can get and in the end? He intentionally gives it up.

Hmmmm thinking about how the portrayal of scientists as unfeeling people who don't care about anything but scientific advancement, even at the cost of humanity, contributes to the demonization of science. Which in turn leads to people being afraid of scientific advancements and a misunderstanding of the many many people who use science to work towards amazing things that will help people. Which in turn leads to people being distrusting of these advancements and works in service of capitalism, traditionalism, eco-fascism, etc. But surely it means absolutely nothing

My favorite thing about Naruto is how everyone has at least one extremely minor character that they will never let go. One little guy they're just obsessed with and who they can tell you the entire life history of

Being a Star War poster is so hard because every time I have a thought I think maybe I should put on Tumblr I'm like Fuck. Someone in the 80s already said this and I'm just being derivative

ABSOLUTELY I DO NOT MIND thank you for adding!!
I completely agree!
Danaël's priority first and foremost is Protect the World, and that means he's willing to do whatever it takes to do that. He doesn't take joy in it, but it really does show his past as a knight (and, dare I say, Ikaël's influence on him. I think about their dynamic a lot).
Rereading the series I was truly surprised by that argument with Kel-Cha! For whatever reason I hadn't remembered it (despite vol 8 being one of my favorites), and that moment honestly got me. It was for sure a moment of Danaël losing it a little and deciding the only option was to go nuclear. Understandably, yes, but also buddy there were Better Ways To Do That.
(It's a whole other convo that Aube and Crépuscule fucking SUCKED for that whole thing. Showing up and going "heehee it was just a joke we weren't ACTUALLY gonna destroy the world!" If I were Gryf I wouldn't be done with a punch lmao)
I think it's definitely something that comes from his being a leader. He has a bit of an martyr complex of going "ok so I am going to handle Everything myself. Hands off." I honestly think he's a bit of a control freak LMAO
I have to wonder if Danaël hadn't been leader if he would've adopted the same mentality of ends justifying the means, but that's a bit difficult to say given that I can't imagine a world where he's not a leader-type. We see what happens when he has to accept orders, and while I think he gets better about that as he gets older I don't think it's something that ever goes away (aka: vol 5 and his little temper tantrum).
I think it's an uncomfortable truth that Danaël as a Dasyatis member isn't entirely separate or anything. He's just some of Danaël's worst traits turned up to 100.
Hello! I don't know if someone already asked, but if not, please tell us you thoughts about Danaël?
Thank you for asking! On a real note I super appreciate all the LL asks that people have been sending, I LOVE to yell about this series.
In a lot of ways, he's really the straight man of the series, but I honestly think that's sort of what makes him so great. He's the one who the rest of the group revolves around, not just because he's their leader, but he's also just their focal point. He's the one who brought them together; he's the one they follow. I think in a lot of ways he's the one they aspire to and model themselves after, and I do firmly believe he's the best of them.
He's also truly the definition of haunting the narrative. His absence is more acute than his presence in a lot of ways, and I think narratively it's a lot more important. I'm genuinely obsessed with the way the series shifts after his death–– it's a tangible absence, and no matter how much they try to cover the gap he leaves, there's just no way for them to.
Of course, the series post-Anathos becomes a lot darker, but I also think it's just more... bleak. They've really and truly lost their core, and they don't ever regain the sense of family their group had before. They scattered during their recovering period following vol 10, and they never fully reconverge much as they might want to.
I don't think it would be impossible, had they had the time. They're focused on trying to rebuild what they had, when I think what would have been best would be to create something new. And, I think, being that he was the glue, they never really learned to fill those gaps (and actually communicate. I think he was the one who made them talk to each other, holy shit (affectionately, they're dumbasses)).
I absolutely adore him. I won't get into his Dynameïs version here but I think about that a lot too... really depends on how you want to interpret Kalandre's hold over their group (are they still themselves? Are they entirely other people? Is it full control or just influence? I'm obsessed.)

@tsunades-left-bicep AS YOU REQUESTED. A few things that personally I would love to see as horror fics:
Konan being forced to look at the puppeted dead body of her best friend. Were his eyes empty? Was his body slowly rotting?
Hidan. I think that's somewhat self-explanatory.
Sai (and other ROOT) would be extraordinarily unsettling in action. Interacting with them would feel Wrong. It would feel like interacting with the absence of a person.
I think a very average amount about Hiruzen being faced with Orochimaru as a student. Orochimaru throwing his 'failures' back in his face. Hiruzen having to consider whether he can kill the version of his student that doesn't exist anymore.
Kirigakure. Ouchie
I think in reality Zetsu would genuinely be kinda frightening.
The Aburame. I'm not a fan of the bugs (that's a lie. I am a fan of the bugs. But we can't lie and say that's not gross as hell (affectionately))
Genjutsu is SPOOKY.
TLDR: something something Naruto gothic or whatever
Every day I wake up in awe at the sheer unexplored horror potential in Naruto

Thinking a lot about how by the time TCW comes about Anakin has already committed a grievous sin, already committed a massacre, already chosen his side in some ways. The man Ahsoka knows, the only version of him she ever gets to know, is built on an assumption of purity he has already lost.
He has already begun to fall, and this slip contributes in so many ways to his inability to pull himself back. Because the only person other than Padmé he tells his crime to is Palpatine, because he's the only person who won't judge him (and that in and of itself is a measure of his immaturity–– because he deserved to be judged).
And this contributes so much to Palpatine's control because he has this piece of the puzzle, this ability to go "Oh, but what about this?" any time Anakin tries to pull back from Palpatine's confidence. Because they both know if he ever admitted it to the Order he'd forever lose their approval, and that's what matters most. So Palpatine has this advantage, because he knows more about Anakin than anyone else and Anakin doesn't feel he can confide in anyone else.
But the thing is: for so long, Anakin wants to be better, wants to amend himself for this sin and more than once wants to confess to Obi-Wan, but every single time Palpatine is able to go "Oh but he thinks he's so much better than you, he would never understand you, he would judge you and tell the Order and they'd cast you out" but... Obi-Wan would have forgiven him anything.
I think a lot about Obi-Wan being such a Perfect Jedi (in the eyes of everyone else if nothing else) and how much that hurts Anakin. Because every time he tries to pull himself back from the ledge this epitome of what it means to be a Jedi is just there in his face reminding him of his own failure
