im thinking about saikis messed up relationship with romance on this fine night🫶
imagine him developing a crush on someone FIRST but since he can hear their thoughts and knows they dont already like him back, he thinks that that means they never will
because since he hears things so to the point all the time, he doesnt understand the natural progression of relationships and he thinks itd be weird and manipulative if he tried to get someone to like him while he can literally read their mind (which makes sense because there WOULD be a very thin line to tread..)
so he just avoids them and tries to get over it even though there mightve been a good chance that they couldve started liking him soon or even did but hadnt realized it yet themself.......

looking @ old fic i started when i was 14/15 is so funny bc im realizing once again why i never mark fics as abandoned even if its been literal years since i've touched them. specifically i was checking docs for stuff i started and either did or didn't post to ffn.
and its like. nothing is bad??? like i can see where my outside-the-box ideal of fic writing comes from. not just fics but writing in general, i'm p sure. even if it's a total cliche plot setup, there are details on each that rly make it stand out like oh yeahhhhhh i did have this great idea once upon a time.
funny too bc was it executed well in prose??? no absolutely not i wrote like shit when i was 15. would i revive an idea one day and revise it to be less cliche or cringy while still keeping the stand-out elements??? yea maybe. i might. everything i'm currently working on that i started from 2021 up to now still holds my supreme interest, but like i'm not gonna say never.
esp since i write fic first and foremost for my own need and specifically what i like to read, it makes it impossible to consider an idea i've thought extensively about "not worth writing anymore". anyway not making this too long i jus found everything interesting to consider

in reference to hermitshipping/trafficshipping on this blog btw, i've historically never used those tags (other than a few instances where i felt it might be especially needed) on my art just bcuz
1) a lot of times for my art its very vague. like scar and grian are just talking here seemingly but if i myself had shipping intentions when i drew this, should i tag it as trafficshipping?? that's the kind of vagueness that made me decide to just not in general. because
2) i post a LOT of trafficshipping content, so i don't see a need to tag it. if you're someone who doesn't like that content, just block me 👍

Just discovered what is probably going to be one of my favorite polyamourus ships ever. Leo Valdez, Will Solace and Nico Di Angelo (Maybe with Jason Grace)
All because of this beautiful fic I stumbled across (it's a collection too!! There's 3!!)
@buoyantsaturn Thank you for that piece of art <3

is the other dad orochimaru?
it’s actually not orochimaru! i do see the appeal to that ship. i think it presents a very interesting dynamic when you look at all of the times kakashi has to face orochimaru in canon, and it becomes even more fraught if you ship kakashi/yamato.
BUT i actually prefer sakumo/jiraiya!
i understand why so many people don’t really like jiraiya (and, therefore, don’t really consider him a viable option in pretty much any ship). he’s burdened with the early-2000s anime trope of being an obnoxious pervert, but i think he has the potential to be such an interesting character when you tone that down to a tolerable level and let his other qualities shine through. i have a ton of headcanons about jiraiya. i won’t bore yall by sharing them all lol but i’ll give you some quick highlights about how i see sakumo/jiraiya working within canon! it’s largely headcanon-based since we have so little info on sakumo and jiraiya’s timeline is also spotty
(tw below the cut for mention of suicide and gambling addiction, also shippuden spoilers)
their relationship isn’t traditional. sakumo’s life is similar to kakashi’s in that he spends more time on missions than he does in the village, and jiraiya spends even less time there (largely because of a long-standing animosity between him and hiruzen).
it was actually tsunade who accidentally brought the two of them together. sakumo is a couple years younger than the sannin, but he happened to develop a strong friendship with tsunade. when they’re both in the village at the same time, they go out and have drinks together/get lunch/etc. jiraiya happened to join them on one of those occasions.
whenever jiraiya drifts back to konoha, he finds his way to the hatake compound (which is mostly empty except for sakumo). their relationship isn’t exactly casual even if it starts out that way. there are feelings. sakumo doesn’t sleep with anyone else, though he doesn’t tell jiraiya that. jiraiya does; he has a high libido, he doesn’t see sakumo often (sometimes they can go 6+ months without seeing one another), and they never decided to be exclusive or anything. but it’s different with sakumo.
jiraiya doesn’t actually know that kakashi is his kid. he missed the entire pregnancy, and when he finds out that sakumo has a kid, it’s right at the beginning of the war. he’s distracted with other things (the emotional fallout of dan’s death, his heightening feud with hiruzen, his responsibilities to the people of konohagakure, etc). he doesn’t put the pieces together. sakumo doesn’t tell him because… he loves jiraiya and doesn’t want to ask jiraiya to take on another responsibility. he also doesn’t want to confront the possibility that jiraiya might refuse to be a father to kakashi.
tsunade is the only one who figures it out in those early years. after she hears about sakumo’s suicide, she tries to find jiraiya to tell him, but he’s fucked off to god knows where. she financially supports kakashi (similarly to how kakashi financially supports naruto pre-canon), but she’s not exactly qualified to offer emotional support/a place for him to live given her gambling addiction.
jiraiya never realizes, though his and kakashi’s paths do cross semi-frequently. through minato, through naruto, through their shared devotion to protecting konoha.
sakumo tells kakashi when they have their fireside tête-à-tête during the pein arc, not realizing that it’s too late for kakashi to have a relationship with jiraiya.
