Why do apologies not mean shit to me anymore? I’m not a fucking dish that you can just add some seasoning to and everything will be better! No!

there are only a handful of movies that i think would be better if they could say fuck. top of that list is the hobbit / lord of the rings.
could you imagine the dwarves entering bilbos hobbit hole and him being like, “yeah who the fuck are you?!?” or like gandalf being like, “pippin i think you should fucking kill yourself i can’t take your bullshit any longer.” or like legolas calling someone a bitch…most likely gimli.

does like anyone else sort parts of hgsn into tiers of canonness? Maybe it’s just my warrior cat origins where all the information was directly contradicting so you had to decide how to sort everything yourself but like, I just go into media expecting stuff to be retconned.
Like I tier it:
>Ch3 = anything after chapter 3 with preference to the most recent chapter being the most correct. Maki says in ch23 that after the unuki was made, the illness and famine died down, but according to Kouhei in 25, it only really stopped after the Indoh sin. In this case, I would take Kouhei’s explanation as the more correct explanation unless a subsequent chapter contradicts him.
Len’s Twitter extras = Generally supplemental and trustworthy but occasionally taking them at face value can create conflict with the manga. One comic strip says that ‘Hikaru’ has to manually beat his heart, but during his stint in the hospital, he was completely unconscious. Certainly the hospital staff would notice his heart wasn’t beating, right? Therefore, we will discard this comic as not canon nor representative of how ‘hikaru’ actually works.
Chs1-3 = A separate tier because just about everything in them has been retconned and they’re riddled with beginning weirdness. The example I’ll point to for a clear retcon is ‘Hikaru’ blushing at Yoshiki at the end of ch1 when we know he doesn’t experience romantic or sexual attraction. This fits with the genre change after chapter 3, and so, it can be assumed that it was retconned and is no longer considered for the plot going forward.
Light novel = the light novel wasn’t written by Mokumokulen, but any extra information is just that. Extra. There’s no real contradictions. Yet. If anything in the light novel or extra chapter is contradicted by the manga going further, the light novel will be entirely tossed aside.
Misc hgsn art = Anything lacking text or explanation (such as the decapitation pieces) as well as the pilot. While sometimes these act as foreshadowing, most of the time they’re just cool images. Dont think we’ll see ‘Hikaru’ with a bottle of ketchup anytime soon for example.

The Naruto ask! 4, 6 and 19
Putting a cut here so y’all don’t have to scroll because it is rather long!
4. are the romantic undertones between naruto and sasuke intentional or accidental?
I want to say fully accidental because Kishimoto just cannot write romance but I can’t help but think that some scenes are just… too romantic to not be intentional. The moon/sun theme, naruto saying he would die with Sasuke if it came to that, the cover art of them having necklaces with each others faces, etc.
There are just too many instances where they fit together a little too well, I mean even dude bros call them gay, which is a feat in of itself.
So, while I can’t say for certain if it was either, I can say that if there was intention to it, it makes the canon couples look incredibly bad imo.
6. what makes the Naruto ending bad?
I’m rewatching rn and am currently in the beginning of the war arc, so I’m refinding out that there are just… so many things Kishimoto ruined with the way he ended the series.
My biggest gripe of course is Sasuke. He is one of my favorite characters and has been since the beginning. After freshly rewatching the scene where he nearly kills Sakura and knowing how his arc finishes is frustrating. Sasuke deserved justice, he deserved revolution and his clan’s name cleared.
If we’re following canon where Sasuke lives, then I think a full dismantling of the system – changing the way the entire village worked would’ve been a good start. Destroying the leaf was not the way to go about it and he was intent on it because he was (validly) emotional. It’s a huge disservice to Sasuke and readers to not see revolution happen because it pushes this idea that the oppressed have to conform to their oppressor, it’s super nationalistic but that’s more about the entirety of Naruto instead of just the ending.
Personally for me? Sasuke and Naruto dying at the end of their last fight would’ve been a more appropriate ending than Sasuke assimilating to the oppressive village that committed genocide against his clan for “peace”. I’m incredibly upset that Kishimoto wrote Naruto not actually doing anything for Sasuke and the remembrance of his people (lets also not forget the Hyuga), it feels disingenuous to Naruto’s character that he “went back on his word”.
It was set up so well for Sasuke and Naruto to die in the end and to make them continue living just backtracked on both of their writing.
19. pettiest fandom opinion you've blocked someone for?
Almost always for disliking my faves. I just recently blocked someone for disliking Might Gai and some others for shipping characters I don’t like together😭
