Kuko's new song sounds like a Shonen Anime Opening and I LOVE it!!!!

some op egghead outfits and a couple doodles from memory cause the brain rot is actually rotting my brain <3

Imagine fucking a jinchūriki & they use their tentacles, tails, extra appendages, and/or chakra tendrils on you.

i seriously need to watch haikyuu. should i put a brief pause on naruto and give it a shot? 🤔

holds this scene to my heart forever and ever

and all of the teams in naruto really are like the same outline right it’s like jesus(naruto, jiraiya, obito)/judas(sasuke, orochimaru, kakashi)/mary(sakura, tsunade, rin) whatever but basically i just need to see like a group where the mary analogue isn’t the girl like we need girl judas we need girl sasuke. sorry that biblical shorthand was the best way to deliver my message here i could explain further the archetypes but they can be understood like this i think

i dont agree with this post i think there is something morally wrong with being fandom weirdo autistic but i love how it accidentally called out me specifically bc i really do only listen to naruto music these days

time always gets really weird in long running mangas, and it gets hard to notice how little time has actually passed in the story. you get so caught up in the time it takes you irl to read it, or you follow if for years when it was serialized, that you kind of just start projecting longer time frames than is actually happening. and the mangakas do that too which doesnt help! once you get ahold of the passage of time again, character relationships can start to feel weird, like not unbelievably weird, but weird enough to make you doubt them a bit. a lot of naruto fans view the original team 7 as being very close in part 1 but when you step back and look at it, between team 7 forming and sasuke leaving the village is like 6 months, and 3 of those months barely count because they weren't even working together. sasuke spends more than a year with taka in the manga and youre telling me the bonds he has with naruto and sakura are more meaningful to him than them? at least in bleach, ichigo knew chad and orihime before the events of the manga, but ichigo and rukia only knew each other for a couple months before she was taken back to the soul society, and even though they barely know her, orihime, chad and uryu all want to go with him to save her? uryu literally starts hanging out with them after ichigo meets rukia. the entirety of part 1 from ichigo becoming a shinigami to defeating aizen takes place over 6 months. oda has this problem where he hates having time pass without drawing it, so the first part of one piece takes place over 3-6 months, if i'm being generous. and it's been 2 months max since the straw hats entered the new world which is bonkers! i love their friendships and the way they've all bonded, but at the same time i'm like how do you have so much faith and trust in people you've spent more time away from in the past 3 years than with? luffy barely knew sabo for a year when he thought he died? i know a lot of these stories are action/adventure and the characters are often in danger together so i get why that might force them to bond more quickly, but i'm left wondering how much more natural some of these relationships would feel if they'd been allowed to have implied development outside of the story. and i do get why they often don't because that wastes panel space, but i still want it. it's super interesting when you compare these stories to shows that have mostly self-contained episodes with season arcs because the passage of time and the relationships feel so much more natural. my favourite example is leverage because all of the characters do things together outside of the what we actually see in the episodes, like they'll reference jobs that we don't see them do, or conversations that happen offscreen. and obviously i know why there is such a stark difference between them for stylistic, genre and contextual reasons, overall structure of the narrative, industry standards and restrictions, editorial oversight, like i get it, i understand. but it would be nice, you know? i always love thinking about the empty spaces an author leaves in their own story

I got to say this now because I forgot completely and I'm screaming

After his fight with Sasuke, Naruto is like "well I don't get it but it hurts me to see you struggle" like oh, okay so this is about your personal feelings is what you're saying.

I mean, that makes sense to me but KI SHI MO TO what in god's name are you doing why do you think this is the peak emotional end point for the main characters of your manga????? Having your main character be like "well I care because it hurts me personally" (but also lowkey fuck your struggle Sasuke).

tumblr live wants to be the group chat feature so badly

the way @kenruu is tagging me in one piece posts trying to convince me to watch

I want to play an only up parody in the Naruto Storm engine after having seen the Mario 64 one.

i kinda wanna watch one piece but is it worth the way female characters are drawn?

no

Anyway the one Delusional Hill I'm willing to Die on is that Temari could sweep anyone in verse.
