When ShinoHina is taking place, Kiba is their biggest supporter. He sees it happening before they even get the chance to let feelings register, since they're both so naive in that sense. Kiba is aware Hinata "likes" Naruto and Shino is stubborn as hell, but Kiba's constantly trying to keep himself from saying something when they have a moment or don't hit the bullseye. A lot of the time he's just vibrating as he watches them haha. Eventually he sits Shino down and gives him a brutally honest pep talk (because otherwise Shino won't listen) and he'll try to gently nudge Hinata into really thinking about her feelings. He really adores his dumb friends and wants them go steady already!!

When KibaHina is developong, Shino won't notice until Kiba starts making comments and remarks about Hinata more consistently. Then he actually enters Protective Big Brother Mode and somewhat guards Hinata because to him, it's Kiba, and that can't lead to anything good. Hinata is still oblivious because she's still watching Naruto, of course, and Kiba's extroverted demeaner makes her nervous, but it's not a bad nervous?? However, the more Kiba drops his inflated bravado and gets sincere, the more Shino is moved by how... sweet it is. It's a bit surprising, but Shino starts offering support and encouragement. He still gets on Kiba's case if he gets a little carried away. Shino isn't one to meddle as far as nudging Hinata, but for someone who tends to wear her emotions on her face, she really tries to keep her secrets a secret. She's not very good at it but Shino doesn't push if she doesn't open up first.

But when ShinoKiba is a thing, I don't know why I find it so funny for Hinata to be oblivious to the fact there's like... something going on there. Hinata gives me "sheltered conservative good little girl" vibes in the sense that she probably wouldn't even know being gay was a thing until she was older-older. Like, gay people don't exist, it's not even a thought to her. No one talks about it. Kiba would know what he was feeling first and Shino might pick it up sooner or later, but definitely after Kiba. I like to pretend Shino actually knows more than he ever lets on but he just might be on the same boat as Hinata?? Kiba knowing Hinata doesn't suspect a thing might try to casually run things by her and get her opinion because he doesn't have Shino's ability to keep his mouth shut on things. She would just notice Kiba was more irritated some days and Shino might be more noticeably distant after she got used to him being more around and open. Yet, she'd never guess it's cause they were sorting feelings out between themselves. I feel like some of the others might catch on faster than Hinata. And I just know it'd be Tenten being her snarky self and talking shit like she does who makes Hinata rethink the last sum amount of years and realize the secret and still budding relationship right under her nose. But then she'd get so excited and so delighted by the thought of her two best friends becoming an item! And assuming they weren't together yet, she would be so cute trying to play cupid for her boys. She trys to be coy about it but she's still too easy to read, bless her heart. Kiba finds it more amusing than anything and maybe plays off of it a bit at times. Shino, as stubborn as he is, would be forced to fully acknowledge there is in fact a thing going on between him and Kiba, but finds Hinata's enthusiasm comforting in a way. Encouraging even. Hinata would be the warm sunlight the ShinoKiba flower was missing to fully bloom, d'awwww.

#shino aburame #aburame shino #kiba inuzuka #inuzuka kiba #hyuuga hinata #hinata hyuuga #team 8 #dai-hachi-han #they're just such an oddball group ya know?#i do like hinata but she definitely is a hit or miss in what she can pick up on and what she cant #and as a cancer sun i feel kiba is characterized so appropriately in the anime #he's not stupid he's just (probably) an aries rising lol #but he has a good 6th sense that guy #i will die on the hill of team 8 all sharing Cancer in their 'Big 3s'#hinata is a cancer rising and shino is a cancer moon to kiba's cancer sun and i will gladly fight anyone about it #im pretty sure no one is gonna fight me about it but it still stands XD

While attending something important Thena gets suddenly and very boldly proposed from a man with high position. And Gil is there, watching, slightly amused and curious!

Would be funny if you would write it!

"Sankta Olga," her people bowed to her as they greeted the regent after their recent triumph in battle.

Thena overlooked the masses, looming over Olga's shoulder as her most trusted war advisor. Not that Olga had needed 'inspiration' for her ideas--equal parts ingenious and cruel. Thena had no qualms with what the human queen wished to inflict upon her enemies, no matter Ajak's claims of inhumanity and needless violence.

Let the humans know they were true beings of power, Thena thought. No matter their mortality, humans were fierce when it came to their loved ones. Whether protecting them or avenging them, it seemed.

"I owe this greatly to you."

"I contributed nothing," Thena argued with Olga's soft, gentle words (for a woman with a continually rising death count on her hands). What Thena meant was that Olga had fashioned the idea to attack during the Drevlian revelry herself. Thena had never - and still would never - pick up a blade against a human.

"Your support is more than you think," Olga smiled at Thena over her shoulder during the brief reprieve between subjects and nobles gathered in the palace. "For I could never have...after they..."

Thena offered Olga a slight bow - more respect than the Warrior Eternal tended to show to human leaders - before moving away. She had been by Olga's side when news of the Queen's husband arrived. She had done what she could, but she had to admit that she did not have the stomach for thinking about the death of one's husband.

"Hey."

Thena inhaled as Gilgamesh received her at his side, his hand settling at the small of her back, over her fine velvet dress but under the heavily fur lined cloak she wore as a member of court. "Hey."

Gil hadn't been there to witness the massacre. He, like Sersi, didn't really have the stomach for the violence of it. Thena had only gone alongside Olga to lend her support (and to keep her from going too far, if need be). "How is she?"

Thena looked back up to the throne, where Olga was continuing to receive grateful subjects now free of Drevlian invasion. The woman still had the glow of victory to her, but Thena could see the fatigue of grief still heavy over the woman. "I think she is nearing the end of her vengeance."

"Nearing?" Gil asked and looked at Olga just for a second. He ducked his head down and whispered, "she's not done?"

"I believe she had one more act to see through," Thena said just as quietly. She looked at Gil, knowing how he felt about Olga's actions. "If it were you, I would still be laying waste to the entire continent."

He smiled, pushing some hair away from her cheek and over her shoulder, "you don't have to worry about that."

"Hm," Thena sufficed as a response, nonetheless leaning into his touch.

"I'll get you something," he said gently, referring to either food or drink or both. She didn't need either, but he liked to think they could help her relax--feel a little more in the human spirit. He brushed his lips over her temple, "wait here, Solnyshkuh."

Thena watched him go, excusing himself as he attempted to navigate among the fragile little humans.

"Sankta Athena."

Thena frowned; both of those names were wrong. The man standing before her was a member of nobility, although she wouldn't be able to recall his rank if given a thousand years to do so. She tilted her head, "you cannot mean me."

"But I can," the nobleman bowed to her in greeting first before straightening up again. He was tall for a human, with reasonably agreeable features. "You are the Queen's most trusted War Advisor, are you not?"

"I am her only War Advisor." Because as soon as Thena had proved her worthiness of such a title, Olga had dismissed the entire panel of others.

"Then your reputation precedes you all the more."

"Do you have a point?" she asked in a painfully direct manner. This was the kind of manner that usually kept humans on her outskirts. But she supposed every once in a while, one or two - and they were always males, usually of high status - would walk right up to her, brazen as daylight.

"I would like to ask you something, oh great War Advisor," he continued to schmooze and flatter her. He had an insipid grin under his moustache.

"Is it related to battle?" Thena droned. She couldn't much refuse if it was, as much as she might come to want to.

"The greatest battle," he chuckled before lowering himself to his knee before the whole throne room to observe. But he ignored the looks and whispers, staring up at Thena. "The battle of marriage, my Lady. Indeed, I would like to ask you to become my wife."

Silence stretched over massive and echous room. The flames lining the walls in sconces and torches flickered, and no one dared take a breath.

"This is Arthur all over again."

The human blinked, "my Lady?"

"The answer is no," she offered just as directly as before, staring down at him with disdain. She glanced at Olga, who was watching with shameless curiosity. Thena sighed, "you dishonour yourself just by asking."

"This is just the battle to which I was referring."

Did he think she was being coy in her refusal? Thena looked down at him again, making her distaste for his actions even more plain to see, if at all possible. "There is no battle to be won, sir. I have no interest in your nor any proposals."

"I do relish a challenge, my Lady," he grinned still, even moving closer to her in his crouched position. "I am no stranger to the harsh ways of the world. And I believe that you could find no better a match-"

"You are glaringly wrong," Thena drawled, more and more bored with the conversation, if it could be called that. "Everything from my name to your intentions are misdirected."

The man was at least starting to feel jilted. "That's-"

"I do not know why you thought I would say yes."

He laughed, finally rising to his feet again, although it allowed him to move even closer to her. "Because I believe you are a woman of intellect. And it would be most unwise-"

"To reject a stranger's proposal?" Thena finished the truest form of that statement. His humiliation was starting to show the more she frustrated him. She took a step back, "do not speak to me of wisdom."

He reached out, nearly grasping her arm over her cloak.

"I wouldn't, buddy."

Thena smiled as he made his way back, two goblets in one hand and a grin on his face. He was clearly watching the proceedings. "You could have come and dissuaded him."

Gil laughed, sloshing some of his mead onto the deep brown bear fur of his own cloak. "And miss the show? You know I love to see these idiots throw themselves at you."

The human man flushed at being insulted, not even directly. "I never-!"

Thena looked at him, reminded that he was indeed still there. "Leave."

"Wh-!" he was fuming mad, now, gripping the hilt of the sword on his hip. He glared at Gilgamesh, "and who are you to speak to me in such a way?"

Thena laughed faintly this time. "He has seen me reject more suitors than you can count, I'm sure."

That finally made the human flinch, if just a little. He looked at Gil, "is he a royal concubine, then?"

"Ooh," Gil practically giggled, "I've never been called a concubine before."

"Hm," Thena looked back at him, drawn in by the music of his laughter. She tilted her head at him, "it doesn't do you justice."

The human bristled, forced to witness the salacious behaviour of Gil moving Thena's hair away from her cheek and her leaning into his touch again. The indecency! "Oh, I see."

"Look, pal," Gil finally snorted outright. He made eye contact with the nobleman as he pulled Thena closer to him with his arm around her waist. "She said no. If you ask again, she's gonna use that sword to make a kebab outta you."

"Hm," Thena purred as Gil's chest moved, pressing the soft fur he wore against her cheek. "You make wonderful kebab."

At some point, the nobleman decided he had had enough. He would perhaps complain about it later, but it wasn't as if he would have the Queen on his side for it.

"I swear, there's always at least one idiot who thinks it's a good idea to propose to you," Gil shook his head, still shamelessly moving his hand over her back, although her heavy cloak disguised such lascivious behaviour. "After - what? - two words to you?"

"I do not believe even that much," Thena sighed, enjoying pressing her cheek to his chest far too much. "No matter."

"That's true," he chuckled, pressing a kiss to the top of her head (avoiding the golden circlet sitting on top of it). "You're all mine."

And she had been since long before this kingdom came to be, and would be long, long after.

#Thenamesh Rus AU #I think Thena and Olga would often have to endure #comments and proposals and such #Olga was genuinely quite sought after even after the whole burning an entire city to the ground business #The Queen Regent and her beautiful War Advisor #Thena tells Gil about it all #he loves gossip #almost as much as he loves watching his wife reject fools left and right #At some point he stops interfering and starts watching #waiting to see what happens #will Thena pick them up by the scruff and shake them like an animal caught in the grain silo?#will she bend their arm in a clean 360 so that not even Ajak can totally heal the damage?#or will she simply look at them like...ew #truly a fate worse than death

My ass is in need of a desperate thing to do bc I finished big o and I feel empty despite REALLY LIKING IT it’s just because my ass hardly has any motivation to write or draw all I can do is just play video games even if I’m not even touching new ones I keep replaying the same comfort games but my main options on my to watch list are:

-reasonable length of 24 episodes but it’s apparently super fucking depressing and everyone advises I don’t watch it despite it being in my reader for awhile (casshern sins)

-even more reasonable length of 12 episodes and is more toku stuff but I’ve seen no one talk about it (guyver)

-the most reasonable length of 7 episodes- but all of them are nearly a hour so how the fuck does that keep my attention span (giant robo)

-not at all reasonable length for me because it’s 50 episodes so I should wait until I’ve watched more 20 ep anime and see I can get through a 40 ep anime but I think about it anyways (Astro boy/cyborg 009, ignore how this is two)

I should probably just make a poll about this but my tumblr polls don’t get a lot of traction and Twitter I’m scared if I end up chickening out bc I’ve done this with- a lot of polls which is also reasonable I don’t wanna make one 💀 might just ask friend opinion but if anyone knows any of these feel free to drop something in the comments.

#meg text #I’m not gonna be bothered to tag all of them when this is a list thing #but am I the definition of indecisive? You bet your fucking ass #also I would’ve added tetsujin here but imma wait until after I watch giant robo #given I know it’s the same creator + Imagawa did a take of it that’s 24 eps #even though the one I saw of where he looks like a super robot and is cel animation looks sick as fuck #but I can always watch multiple iterations of a show (I did that with getter lmao)#I could also theoretically do that with casshern bc there’s a even shorter show #but I heard from my bf it’s not good rip #also for the last two it’s their 2000s versions specifically if anyone asks #if I end up being so indecisive I may like- either pick up something I drop or fucking read #but I’m not counting on the latter bc I literally hate reading seen in other post even if I need to get over it
