KAKASHI KAKASHI KAKASHI

Omg yes thank you so much @jazzi-fizz I had a feeling that if anyone would ask it’d be him first but ok ok ok I'm so sorry in advance if I ramble but you ask about this man it's kinda is what it is

Kakashi Hatake

favorite thing about them

Oooh one thing? This is really hard. What attracted me most to him as a character is his humility and his strength in his stoicism, his quiet will to endure if that makes sense? Man’s been through hell of a lot but he just carries on for the sake of those around him and has more mental fortitude than he’s given credit for and he's wise for his age but he can also be chill and sometimes dorky and I like his well-roundedness, I guess. He is a good person even if he comes off differently, and he can’t see how good he is, and that makes me love him 😭 I like how his low-key nature is belied by something deeper. He has like, the kind of masculine traits that are more low-key and overlooked but I find super attractive.

least favorite thing about them

He has a tendency to... passivity, I guess? I guess it’s the lackadaisical part of his personality, the part of him that’s just happy to... just die and fade away into nothing and just see himself as how useful he can be to those around him? He doesn’t live for himself too much in any meaningful way, and it’s always kinda sad to watch. Like, on one level his self-sacrificial nature can be admirable and on another it's sad.

favorite line

He has so many good ones omg. I love the lessons he instils into the kids when they're little? He says something to Sakura after the Rock Lee/Gaara fight that;s like, there are times when condolences are crueler or something like that. Like, deep, bro. I know he was quoting someone else but i also loved the line he gave where he said 'to know what is right and to ignore it is the act of a coward'. That one's probably my favourite.

BUT, I wanna mention, one that's popping into my head right now is the one at the end of the Land of Waves arc, Naruto looks away from Zabuza's body and Kakashi says something like 'when you live your life as a warrior, this is how it ends.' Idk, it had an impact on me even as a kid, it just brought a lot of gravity to the situation and Idk, the kind of respect he'd had from someone he'd been fighting to kill for the whole arc and it's just one that got me thinking about men and soldiers and war. Like, I used to be obsessed with WW1 literature and it kinda harkened back to that, I guess.

brOTP

Kakashi and Gai, obviously. I really loved their dynamic and friendship for so long before coming to tumblr tbh, where I kinda fell out of love with it (I just felt that both these characters are so much more than the other character but they just got reduced to that), but I’m appreciating it again.

OTP

This is a cliche answer but none. I really don’t have any for him. He just doesn’t have any characters that I see him having romantic chemistry with - I don’t approach ships like most people, so I’m not super excitable or imaginative about ships to begin with, like, there are some I like and dislike, but I really don’t get invested in the idea of them unless they’re a huge part of the show itself, and that’s never been really why I enjoyed Naruto and Kakashi just doesn't have that with any characters for me. So, because i don't really have an answer, I'll tell you who I can see him being compatible with - he actually would work really well with Shizune, they'd balance and complete each other in a lot of ways, and he'd be good with Mei Terumi too, because you know, sexy man, sexy woman, power couple, both Kages, she has this understated badass feminine energy and Kakashi has this lowkey subtle badass masculine energy so I like that. His personality complements Iruka quite well too, he'd be compatible with him I think. The kind of bond he has with Obito is easier to reimagine romantically than it is with some of his other ships too.

NOTP

I really don’t like any of his ships 😂 the student ships are particularly indigestible to me, and specifically during my teens I really hated Kakash x Sakura (it’s still probably my least favourite one, but no offense to any followers of mine who ship it), but like... I love Kakashi and Gai as a brotp, but I really don’t get KakaGai in a non-platonic sense, I really don’t (I'm sorry, I feel like that’s sacrilege on this website, and tbh that;s probably what’s emboldened my... confusion? of it).

random headcanon

Everyone says Kakashi is a dog person, and he is, but he is an animal person! He really likes being in nature and around animals in general, more than people. He would never turn his nose up at a cat and he'll watch some birds out of his window when he's half-asleep in the morning. I dont see him as a huge plant person but he's also got a hell of a green thumb, he probably just has one plant that he loves, but i like to think he has an appreciation and deep understanding of nature.

unpopular opinion

Lol I am the queen of unpopular opinions and I have a lot when it comes to Kakashi. Firstly, he’s not nearly as weak or as passive as a lot of the fandom would have you believe. Idk maybe fans want to make him more relatable and project onto him but they make fanon Kakashi a lot less functional and competent than he is in canon? He’s not defined by his depression or ptsd either. I think people on here feminise him far too much too (just something I’ve noticed, particularly with shippers. To me it’s a clear case of fan projection. Which is valid, but not what I get out of a show. Also, kinda unrelated but tumblr has this thing where they make established badass male characters into ‘uwu soft boys’ and I’m kinda allergic to it lmao)

Also, this is probably only unpopular on tumblr, but I'ma say it, I’ve always just had typical straight guy vibes from this man? Obviously people can see him how they want and I don’t really want to contest with anyone’s headcanons, but i’m someone that just goes by the source material, so when I see the idea of Kakashi with a woman being met with a lot of hostility and derision, it... confuses me a little.

song i associate with them

Oh, lots, but at the moment it’s a tie between What a catch, Donnie by Fall out Boy and Please, Please Let Me Get What I want by The Smiths

favorite picture of them

It's so hard to pick one oh my god. There are so many good fanarts that depict him well, this is one of my favourite ones though. They depict his vibe and Kishimoto's art style so well.

In terms of from the series, again, so much, but i'm a sucker for the first time we see Kakashi's hair wet and I'm also a sucker for Kishimoto's manga art.

Sorry I went on for so long! It's lowkey dangerous asking me about Kakashi lmao I saw this just before I went to bed and I couldn't stop myself.

Anyway, I'm still happy to do these for other characters!

Send me a character here and I'll fill this out!
