was that cao yuchen? oh no no, that was just jin zixuan, a canon character from the untamed. they are twenty five years old, use he/him, and are aware that they are not actually from washington dc. too bad they can’t stray from this city for long.

how long has your character been here:

about two years, physical age is around twenty seven

what is your character’s job:

he's Rich™️ and doesn't really need to work, but he's found he dislikes being idle, so there's a chance he takes a volunteer position to occupy his time

where has your character been pulled from in their fandom:

after wen ning ripped open his chest

has any magic affected your character:

he's alive and kicking and trying not to be a jackass about it

and any other information you might find useful for us and the other members to know:

while jin zixuan was not the only son of the jin sect leader, despite his claims, he was the eldest, and the only legitimate child, which placed him as the heir to the richest sect in the jianghu. his father put him on a pedestal as the perfect heir, though he never spent much time with zixuan, simply expecting him to uphold the clan's reputation

zixuan grew up spoiled and arrogant, as most of the jin sect kissed up to him in an attempt at endearing themselves to the future sect leader. he never had malicious intentions, and actually disliked the idea of ending up like his father quite a bit, but never noticed how much like him he was becoming

he was kept from getting too large of a head by his best friend, a cultivator of lower status named luo qingyang who did manage to reign in his ego a fair bit, though her efforts were at least a little bit in vain, and he did end up looking down his nose at people more often than not

he was engaged to the daughter of his mother's best friend, jiang yanli, and was displeased by the arrangement. he didn't know much about her, but viewed her as inferior due to her lack of cultivation, and made his displeasure known

this ended up causing him trouble, when his rant about his engagement was overhead by yanli's adopted brother, wei wuxian. he made his feelings on zixuan talking down on yanli quite clear by punching him in the face, and zixuan spent the next few weeks at cloud recesses with a bruised face for his ego, and the engagement was cancelled, to his relief

during the wen indoctrination, zixuan tried to fight in the xuanwu cave in defense of his friend, and managed to escape with the majority of the cultivators being held hostage, returning to carp tower to bring jin forces to join the war, though his father tried to deny their troops, he brought his own forces to join up

during the war, he unintentionally offended jiang yanli through a misunderstanding, and began to realize that maybe there was more to her than he had initially believed, and he began to try and court her after the war was over, eventually winning her favor and becoming a less insufferable person as a result of his realizations

during the conflict with wei wuxian, he tried to remain neutral, torn between his father leaving the charge and yanli doing everything she could to stop it. in the middle of all of this, he married yanli, and the two had a son, jin ling. in an attempt at beginning to return to some semblance of peace, he invited wei wuxian to jin ling's one month ceremony, and the yiling patriarch agreed to attend

during the party, he got word from his half brother that his cousin had led an army of cultivators to ambush wei wuxian for allegedly cursing him, and he raced to qiongqi pass to try and keep the two parties from coming to blows

unfortunately, he is bad at conflict resolution, and reached out physically to a ptsd riddled man who was just ambushed on what was supposed to be a peaceful endeavor. this was his final mistake, and wei wuxian reacted, at the same time his half brother's ally was taking control of wen ning, forcing the ghost general to murder zixuan, with wei wuxian taking the fall for the crime

he's been resurrected in dc, and has been informed of who was really behind his death and why. he's attempting to bond with his son, and the half brother who murdered him. there's a lot of complicated feelings there, but he believes that guangyao was pushed into a lot of his crimes by their father's cruelty, and wants to give him a second chance

My (terrible, no good, very bad) NARUTO headcanons

These are mostly my thoughts after reading Gaiden. And I can tell you that you’re not going to like them no matter whom you ship or who your favourite character in the series is.

Naruto has been never interested in Sakura romantically. He wanted to be her friend, and he admired her hard work and the fact that she was a great student despite not being from a shinobi clan. But because he had no one to show him how to befriend the opposite sex, he took cues from the (terrible) romantic script from whatever media he had been consuming and executed them badly. (Not saying that the media dictates what we do, but it probably influences neglected children more than any other group because that’s going to be their primary way of understanding human interactions.)

Naruto hadn’t been interested in Sasuke beyond their rivalry when he was young. That’s why there’s an inconsistency between the apathy Naruto showed towards Sasuke at the very beginning and how he talked about it later. The way he tells it actually fits with how people who have known each other for a long time and are deeply in love talk about their past -- as if they have had this intense emotional connection right from the beginning even though they didn’t.

Sasuke, on the other hand, shows attentiveness right from the start. He’s actually the one who got interested first but he was unable to process the emotion due to his childhood upbringing, trauma, and his focus on revenge.

Even though Naruto and Sasuke end up in love with each other, they cannot be together, at least not as young adults. Sasuke’s too traumatized to love properly, and Naruto doesn’t understand how to care for a person who’s damaged and in pain in front of him instead of being a tragic figure he pines for at a distance. If they were to get together at that age, it would become a destructive relationship that destroyed both of them.

Not to mention that Naruto hasn’t quite fully formed his bi identity yet. Konoha seems very conservative about the expression of gender and sexuality. Jiraiya, the closest thing Naruto has to a consistent father figure, seems to fit the macho heteronormative idea of a guy to the tee. And since Naruto has terrible responses to Sai’s (unintentionally/jokingly) coming on to him but hadn’t been bothered by Haku, I can only conclude that Jiraiya had been a bad influence on that. There’s a possibility that at that age, Naruto has internalized the disapproval from his father figure and so never explores his feeling for Sasuke as deeply as he should have.

Naruto ends up with Hinata because she is safe. She is stable. She is available. She is a woman, which means Naruto knows how their relationship should go. She is patient with him and, sadly, also let him walk all over her more than she should. He does have feelings for her, which was born from friendship and familiarity, but it’s much paler than what he has for Sasuke.

Hinata has never been a stalker. F-U, Studio Pierrot.

Hinata knows about Naruto’s feelings for Sasuke. She accepts the fact that he is going to prioritize Konoha and Sasuke over her. It’s a result of her being treated as second best all her life. She might not have endured physical abuses, but the persistent putdowns mean she is aching for some kind of acceptance, and that’s pretty much the reason she is drawn to him in the first place. So, she’s willing to have this pale love than no love at all.

So, no, Naruto and Hinata’s relationship isn’t exactly healthy. It’s badly damaged and only exists because they both are damaged by the people who should have loved them. But since it’s better than what both of them have had, they stay together at least for the time being.

I really want someone to come along and show Hinata how being loved and respected properly actually looks like. I want her to not be treated as second best for a change.

Sakura and Sasuke’s marriage wasn’t actually born of romantic love but a deal Sasuke made with her. Sasuke wanted an heir to continue his bloodline, and so he asked the woman he trusts most to carry the child. Sakura’s status as his wife makes Sarada the legitimate heir and allows Sakura to be the primary caretaker of their daughter and his estate while Sasuke does pretty much fuck-all.

The proposal might have been a response to Naruto getting married. I couldn’t imagine how it would have felt like for Sasuke to watch that happen since he’s the more self-aware of the two.

I’m not saying that Sasuke took advantage of Sakura’s affection for him or her taking advantage of his need to her end. I think Sakura feels for Sasuke more like a family by the end of the War, and because of that, she feels for his loneliness and wants to help him build something for himself. Of course, she totally miscalculated how much Sasuke’s still a prick and how that decision is going to end up derailing the rest of her life.

Tsunade and Shizune suspected something was up when Sakura told them she was going to get married, but Sakura never told them anything.

Karin is the only other person who knows Sakura worked out a deal with Sasuke and supports her and Sarada where she can because she knows Sasuke makes for a shitty husband, even a mostly pretended one.

Sakura might have tried to have it all at first, but the reality of single-motherhood probably gets to her. Juggling that with working as a regular doctor at the hospital is probably too much for her health, so she chooses her daughter and becomes a stay-at-home mom. Sasuke’s inheritance is more than enough to keep the family going anyway if she spends them well.

Sakura still complains about her life choices every time Karin comes by for a drink. Except for Sarada. She regrets nothing about Sarada.

Sakura tries her best to keep Sarada from learning about the deal and tries to put up a charade of a romantic relationship in front of their daughter. Sasuke, of course, doesn’t understand this since he doesn’t subscribe to the same idea of family as Sakura or Sarada.

Naruto couldn’t have been a good father. He only knows how not to be abusive but in no way does he know how to connect to and treat children well. This is because he didn’t have consistent role models as a child, especially one who doesn’t also treat him as a shinobi. He was probably an okay dad when his children are young, but as he gets busier and they grow older, his prioritization becomes horribly off and he sees them more as shinobi just as everyone else has seen him. That’s why he asks them to tolerate his absence for the greater good instead of making rooms for them in his increasingly crazy life.
