Negativity

Thor x Short!Reader

Word count: 1504

Summary: This is a Drabble I think. :) It’s more about the reader being cool and what the media might act like towards a female avenger, and there’s Thor, being a cute, supportive pal. This really serves no purpose and probably doesn’t make a whole lotta sense, but enjoy lol.

Warnings: Mentions of death but only for descriptive purposes, kissing?

In the recent past, you had dealt with an overwhelming amount of negativity - from the media to your family - you were drowning in it. It was depressing you and you were reaching your limit of patience with everyone causing it. You repeated to yourself all the time: you don’t know what they're going through.

Unfortunately for you, though, you were a defiant little fucker. Your brain started quipping back: It’s only okay to think that if their actions don’t hurt others.

You could agree with that. Negative comments about the Avengers and you specifically were seeping through the cracks of your hard earned and contented self-esteem.

The media was bashing you for being young, attractive and too small to do any real damage and were trying to dig into your past to find whatever bad things you had done - especially after what you had said to a reporter when they interrupted you mid battle.

“Y/n! Y/n! What can you tell us about-”

It took you a half second to realize that the call of your name wasn’t from a distressed bystander needing help. It took you another half second to realize it was from a reporter.

“Whatever you’re about to ask me can wait. Get out of the way before you and everyone else gets hurt.” You barely turned to glare at him, but your voice was a snarl, curling from your throat and leaving your lips before you could stop them.

The reporter had been shocked and backed away, tripping over some of his equipment.

A lot of backlash had come from that. You hadn’t minded at first; the way you had said it may not have been the way to go, but your words were not far off base. You had told him to get to safety, maybe not as objectively as you would have liked, but you were in the middle of a fight - you weren’t concerned with the way it was said. The video of it scared even you, and made you realize why your enemies and your friends avoided you in battle despite your size. While the rest of the Avengers always looked perfect, or perfectly rugged when fighting, you wore murder without grace. It was dark and heavy, weighing upon your features and turning your hair into a windstorm, it was above all natural - movements unconscious and swift, a nearly unstoppable force.

Thankfully for you, a lot of people were on your side - fans and friends and family.

The biggest voice of support was from your friend Thor. He had seen what had happened between you and the reporter and heard what the media was trying to do to you.

“They know not who you are, Y/n. You deserve none of their ignorance,” He had an arm laid around your shoulders as you both sat on the couch and watched the news.

You looked up at him and gave him a small smile. “Thanks,”

Before you could fully settle back into your position, Tony was walking into the room, asking you what time your interview with Thor was.

You let out a long sigh. “It’s at two.”

The interview was thankfully not too far from the Tower, so you decided to drive. You had recently bought your classic dream car, because fuck it - people would find a way to bad mouth you anyway. Thor absolutely adored the car and had taken to running a hand along the top before he climbed in. He also liked to crack a joke when he got in about how far you had to push your seat up to reach the pedals comfortably.

On your way there, you turned the radio to a classic rock station and you and Thor jammed happily to it. The jam session lifted your spirits immensely, so when you were walking in together there was a giggle in your throat and a smile on your lips, your eyes shining with delight.

After you both cracked jokes through makeup, you were rushed to the stage where you took a seat on the love-seat, Thor sitting heavily next to you, your legs brushing each others.

“Thor Odinson! Y/n L/n! Welcome to the show!”

You and Thor smiled politely while you said, “Thank you so much for having us,”

The interviewer waved his hand, “No no, thank you for being here today.”

“So, I’m sorry to bring this up, but it’s the hot topic and people want to know. What was going through your mind when that reporter approached you during the battle?”

Thor tensed and looked at you cautiously. You had dropped the polite smile to take on a serious look.

“That was an unfortunate incident, and I would like to apologize for how I reacted, first and foremost. My thought process in that moment was scattered from the heat of the battle.. When I heard the call of my name, I genuinely thought it was someone calling for help at first. When I saw it was the reporter, Stephan Jackson I believe, I was upset - as you could imagine - that he was putting himself so close to danger. My job is to keep people safe, I didn’t want him or anyone else near the battle.” Your speech was honest, and the host nodded along wordlessly.

“See, I think the problem since that video came out is that a lot of people didn’t think it through that way. They see that small image and not the whole picture.”

“I agree,” Thor nodded.

“Y/n is very kind. She likes to help people, which is why she chose to join the Avengers when it was offered to her. She does not deserve all of the hate she receives.”

A look of panic flit across your face. You knew that with his response the conversation would turn to the other things people were talking about regarding you. That was something you definitely didn’t want.

“That’s true. We haven’t really seen her do anything too wrong.” He replied.

You wanted to sink into your chair, but you remained upright. You looked at Thor pleadingly, silently begging for a change of subject.

The man continued. “Since you two are dating, how do you feel about the media calling Y/n.. promiscuous?”

“We’re not-” you started, but saw from the corner of your eye sparks emitting from Thor’s fingertips.

The host looked around wildly as some security started inching forward. You gently placed a hand on Thor’s bicep.

“Do not call her that.” His voice was low and menacing.

He was worked up hearing that the woman he admired so much was being slandered so casually and he couldn’t stand the thought of other men taking advantage of you like that - or in any way - for that matter.

The hand on his arm calmed him down enough to control his power, but he stood suddenly, and yanked you off the couch. You nearly went flying with the force, but he caught you against himself momentarily before stalking off. His hand was gripping yours so you let yourself get dragged along.

You could hear the host in the background say, “I’m sorry about that, folks.” before the outside door shut behind you.

The ride back to the Tower was silent. You let Thor stalk off to his room for thirty minutes (you were counting) to cool down. You entered his room without knocking to find him pacing in front of the door. He didn't notice you so you stepped in his path.

“Y/n,” he stopped and looked down at you.

“Thor,” you said.

His nostrils flared, “I will not-”

You held your hand up to stop him. You looked into his eyes that held so much emotion and frustration. You wondered how Thor had been the one to break under the negativity instead of yourself and you were suddenly in need of a hug.

You wrapped your arms around his waist and secured your hands behind his back. You buried your face in his chest and felt his hand rest against the back of your head, the other wrapping around your shoulders.

“I apologize, I do not know what came over me,”

You snapped your head up to meet his eyes. “That’s utter bullshit and you know it.”

A laugh rumbled through his chest. “How come you’re always right?” he asked cheekily.

“Its just a power that women possess,” you replied, matching his grin.

“Just don’t let the negativity get to you, okay?” You said seriously.

By the time the words had left your mouth Thor’s face was close to yours, and his mouth neared your own as his eyes slowly closed.

You leaned up onto your toes to meet him and the both of you kissed softly, and it felt friendly and familiar. You slowly pulled away and gazed at his glazed over eyes for a beat.

“You’re gonna break your neck,” you laughed.

Thor straightened himself out and groaned. “Must you always ruin the moment?”

SASUSAKU IS FRAUDULENT

Sasusaku is a fraud

or how sasuke has been manipulated into SS.

I’m gonna analyze it through two POV: Kishimoto’s and canonverse’s.

-KISHIMOTO:

let’s say he was genuine about it.

1) He admitted in one of his interviews that he even wanted to write a love triangle (that’s just… wow) but ACCORDING to his own words, it wasn’t possible because a) this is a Shonen, and b) he had to prioritize. So, if you say romance was equally important here, you’re deluding yourself. He was focused on everything appealing to boys, i.e. just friendships, popularity contexts and fights. So, it’s only normal, that no romance would have deep development.

In this case, some positive and ROMANTIC-looking moments -no matter how few they are- are enough for romance in this genre. Yet SS doesn’t enjoy from such privilege: part I, team 7 is like family to him (canon), so Sakura is like a sister. He thus protects her as one. Part II -call it ‘he’s in darkness’, or ‘fake Sasuke’- but there’s nothing left of this relationship. The worse is SS went from sibling relationship, to nothing, to romance with a guy that never showed interest in such trivial things as being “attracted to girl or romance”, despite him knowing it actually existed.

2) Kishimoto had only cared about Naruto, his MC, tailoring the rest of the series around him. It’s so bad that every fodder character, every guy from the “main cast” and every evil has surrendered their soul to him. So, once he’s given Naruto his fucking acknowledgement, nothing else mattered for the author.

Sasuke who should have been seen getting over UCM, mending, finding his ways, healing or anything catering to his mental abuse and this abominating genocide has never happened. Why? Because Kishimoto never cared. It wasn’t in his plan.

How can a real Sasuke fan be satisfied with that?

The fact that romance wasn’t even relevant to Kishimoto, and that he didn’t cared about his own creation, he just took the nearest short-cut possible, since ‘Sasuke’s chapter’ was closed to him the moment Naruto beat him.

Since then, he manipulated everything to suit their –SP & Cie’s agenda -Boruto-

Basic reading comprehension.

CANON – VERSE

First, proofs that sasuke is broken and damage i.e. in a state he can be manipulated and driven to do something he doesn’t much care about in the first place.

He’s a ghost of himself

You see there? Sasuke ceased to exist at that very moment. How any decision he made after this can is something genuine? He just surrendered his soul to the world. He keeps living for other people, putting their wishes first, since he doesn’t have any drive himself.

This fragile sasuke can easily end with sakura not because it’s something he has always wanted but, he’s not himself anymore.

Here, he shows us that he’s always been inferior to Naruto and Itachi. Here, you witness a broken man who doesn’t have any more self-love or self-esteem. He’s lost. How is he that Sasuke who made choices because he felt it necessary or what he wanted?

Also, very important, is his dynamic with Itachi. Sorry Itachi fans but he accepted to side against his own family. He betrayed his family, so how Sasuke who is pro-Uchiha forgave a pro-Konoha! Itachi was the last link to the family he ever loved.

Obviously, Sasuke became someone who can be manipulated and everyone who can substitute to his family/Itachi can manipulate him just as well. So, no silly things as “Sasuke can’t be manipulated or driven to do something that doesn’t go with his normal way of being”. He hasn’t even a mind for himself anymore, lol. He deemed necessary to become another Naruto/Itachi.

Because team 7 became that substitute, team 7 can have a huge impact on his mental, and that include Sakura with all that pushing her obsession on him until he breaks. That’s his reality now.

When Sakura confesses, he thinks back again to his family.

For Sasuke, nothing was as much important as his family. He even admitted that he had craved for love, and how he sought for a substitute in Naruto.

That’s back when his old family was more important than anything. After Naruto wins, he breaks down his final wall. What kept team 7 from replacing the Uchiha family, has been vanquished by that final fight. Now Team 7 is not only his sole “decent” connection but his only family.

Like he drank Itachi’s words, he’s bound to drink Team 7 words too.

By the way, why Sasuke felt like helping to save the world but then pull that bullshit? Another bullshit to end this too-long Shonen for Kishimoto.

That he had always loved his family, that team 7 took this place now, that he feels that what he fought for or thought is inferior to Itachi’s and now Naruto’s moral and that Naruto beat him until he had surrendered shows that he shifted his emotions from his old family to team 7.

Now he thinks he’s the worse person to ever walk on this earth when he actually acted like any other ninja. That lets it read that Itachi and now team 7 are always right and he’s wrong to think otherwise. Because he puts himself under those people he thinks are saints moral-wise, he surrendered to their wishes.

He’s like a wound left open now. Every bacterium that ever existed can contaminate him. Yahoo!!

What happened after the big fight and team 7 reunited?

-Kakashi just keeps reading his porn in a shady place.

-Naruto gave up on him.

-Sakura kept confessing until he said yes.

-He has no one but team 7. This team 7 is what is left for someone who put connections above else, and once craved for love.

-All that is important in Naruto is to be pretty, cool and have super power-ups and whatnot. Also get married. You know, ticking everything on the usual bucket-everyday-lists without actually giving it second-thoughts. What? Friendships? Forget about it! Let’s just scratch it a bit and forget about it later on.

So, Sasuke pleases them now, and there’s no one out there to put him first or at least help with his mental health or scars. I mean, now that he isn’t against the Shinobi system why cares about him? Just know something: the moment you get married, whatever pain or mental scars you have will vanish without actually caters to it. (Sarcasm again)

Miscellanies:

-The OOC of both to make SS:

Sakura went:

From this:

and this

note her promise

(Makes this face):

to this:

like this:

and that:

a) Sakura reverts back to her 12 self around Sasuke. Crying and repeating confessions. b) Her natural confidence that could have helped Sasuke is none existent. Now she acts like a doormat. Please go watch canon written by Kishi –she’s got little to no backbone when Sasuke is concerned. As long as Sasuke answered positively to her confession she’s okay with everything. c) Sakura who is a cheerful young lady tone down her personality to match Sasuke’s moody one.

Meanwhile, she never writes letters to Sasuke or even tells him to visit to see his daughter, but she wears gladly his Uchiha crest. See how SSS in gaiden is another guilt-trip session for Sasuke. He wanted a family and now it became a source of stress. Everyone, from Sasuke to Sakura, going through salad, everyone was apologizing. Sweet love!

I like Sakura (she’s evolved emotionally and physically), and I love Sasuke but together? I wanna choke a teddy-bear.

-Sorry but Sasuke has NEVER showed romantic interests or whatsoever in anyone. Instead of ending like Jiraya or Orochimaru, aka with no burdens like raising child but travelling freely, he’s got now a child? What happened? How? Sakura raped him or something? Did he ask her? Had they actually had sex? That’s insane.

-In real fucking life, when a boy doesn’t show interest for any girl, he’s gay or aromantic. Don’t even start with culture. Naruto showed interest. Jiraya did. Rock lee did. Heck, shojo and shounen ai come from japan.

-yeah SS is canon lol. So? If I could fucking take it seriously though, it’s empty, boring and with no real sparks or frictions. Nothing at stakes or anything one could write books about except their aesthetic. Just headcanons like Sakura opening Sasuke’s heart to life -when it’s Naruto-, Sasuke looking like a love interest from a shojo or SNS rip-offs…

They don’t match the canon, neither their respective in character persona.

So, only stupid people can get butt-hurt over the fact that not everyone wants to ship it or find it logical. You like it, ship it elsewhere instead of looking for trouble with antis or other shippers.

To summarize my point is:

-SS indeed happens because Sakura drives him -along team 7- to response to her feelings, not because he was “in love”. (It’s not the same old independent Sasuke). There’s nothing remotely special or admirable about it.

-Sasuke’s last relationships aren’t what could have helped him. Look at him; he’s still vagabonding. Even Naruto ‘let him down’. You think that it’s not Naruto’s job? Then their bond is cheap. You think otherwise? Then let’s admit together that Kishi mostly ruined it all.

I don’t care if you ship SS but how Kishimoto handled it and some extreme fans of his had me angry as hell.

I can’t believe I’m still receiving “kill yourself delulu fugly”, “kill yourself” and the likes because I ship a crack-ship, like wut?? Please come down your high horse, lol. You ain’t nothing special, neither is your ship.
