neji and temari for the ask game (hear me out)
I’m hearing you!!! There’s a lot that makes sense, I think more that makes sense than not—they’re both (basically) eldest siblings putting up tough fronts because they have to, father/father figure issues, excel in their lanes, total smart mouths. There’s so much that they could bond over I think! So the making sense is there.
It’s the compelling thing that is a little less of a thing for me, from a writing standpoint, just totally based on my personal preferences. From Neji’s side, there’s no resistance to them getting together, Hiashi would be BEYOND fine with that, and for Temari it’s a very similar dynamic as she has with Shikamaru in that Suna council wouldn’t love it. If I were writing them I’d have to do it some other way to make it feel fresh for me. They feel like sort of a softer Shikatema, which isn’t a bad thing at all! I love Nejiten so I love a soft ship, obviously. I think with how much further Shikamaru had to go in terms of growth, though, to end up with her, that sort of thing I would need with Neji/Temari and that’s the missing piece of the puzzle for me. It’s about the GROWTH
Ultimately my vote is they make sense, but don’t totally compel me. I think they COULD compel me, though! The pieces are there.
ask me if ships make any damn sense and/or compel me!

Cutting my hot takes up cuz tumblr hates long asks I guess? Remember how Tenten’s dream was to be like Tsunade? Probabky born of a deep seated fear of being seen as ordinary, because to be seen as ordinary in Konoha is to be seen as expendable.
Neji must have seen being assigned to a team with Lee and Tenten as a death sentence; the final nail in the coffin, sealing his fate. He’s not naive, he knows what Konoha does to people it sees as expendable. He must have thought that if his clan didn’t kill him, his village would... Team Gai must have been the only disillusioned ones out of the Konoha 12 because most of the Rookie 9 are important enough that Konoha wants to keep them safe. (Clan heirs, the fucking jinchuriki, the literal last Uchiha) (except Sakura, but that’s a different rant). contrast the Rookie 9’s combat elusive team spdynamics to the close combat more risky Team Gai was probably never expected to live and I think that’s disgusting of Konoha also the Lee ask was from me too about how he would have d*ied in the field
anon.... ANON..... holy FUCK this is a hot take, I’ve never thought about it before but Team Gai really was just made of “go in and hit them really hard” type of fighters huh...... if the war had still been going on, who wants to bet they would’ve been rushed to chuunin and then tossed onto the front lines. like holy shit

GaaLee Fanfics for Gaza // Fanfiction Bids for Falastin
In an effort to help Palestinian families who are trying to raise funds to evacuate from Gaza due to the occupations continued genocide, I have decided to offer up GaaLee fanfiction for anyone who donates. My goal with this campaign is to focus on a small group of GFMs at a time in order to better focus the financial impact on these families and their campaigns.
There are two ways to donate in order to maximize donations, and both require proof of donation. The minimum for GaaLee Fanfics for Gaza is $5, while Fanfiction Bids for Falastin starts at $20. Of course I encourage anyone capable of donating more to do so, as the Rafah invasion is a near threat, and even without the occupation invading, they are still bombing Gaza, including the so-called 'safe zone' of Rafah.
Below follows the families this campaign will focus on for now, and how these two campaigns will work.
Donate to:
Amal is 24 years old with two beautiful daughters. Her goal is $25,000 and (at the time of posting) she has raised $16,482.
The Wishah family is a family of 8, which includes their surviving cat. Their goal is €71,500 and (at the time of posting) they have raised €12,253.
Nourhan is raising funds to help her family of 9 evacuate. Her goal is €70,000, but (at the time of posting) she has only raised €25.
The Rozan family is a beautiful family of six, including children and teens, trying to evacuate. The family's goal is €38,000 and (at the time of posting) they have raised €5,915.
Rawan is a 15 year old girl doing everything she can to raise the funds for her family of 6, which includes her younger brothers. Rawan's goal is $30,000 CAD, and (at the time of posting) she has raised $6,159 CAD.
Omar just turned 20, as today (4/26) is his birthday. He is a friend of Rawan's and is raising funds to evacuate himself and his family. His goal is €20,000, and (at the time of posting) he has raised €11,022.
Mona is a mother of three trying to evacuate herself, her children, her husband, and her sick mother. Her goal is $50,000, but (at the time of posting) she has only raised $609.
Wafa is a single mother from Gaza trying to raise funds to evacuate herself and her daughter. Her campaign is in Danish krone with an exchange rate of kr6.97 for every US $1. Her goal is kr100,000 (=$14,345.56), and (at the time of posting) she has only raised kr5,562 (=$797.90).
Somaya needs help to evacuate herself and her two children. Her goal is $40,000, and (at the time of posting) she has received $2,085.
For more information on how each of these campaigns will work, please check below the cut. If you are not familiar with my writing, you can check it out here.
GaaLee Fics for Gaza
This is a fairly straight-forward donation campaign. Donate at least the minimum amount to any of the above families (or multiple of the above families), and I will write you a GaaLee fanfic. Below are more details:
Minimum donation is $5USD. Any donation to a campaign run in a different currency must still meet the minimum in USD. Send proof of donation to me via DMs. The screenshot must clearly show your name and the amount as a finalized payment.
No NSFW.
Only GaaLee fics, Gaara-centric fics, or Lee-centric fics. Side pairings are fine, assuming it's a side-pairing I typically write (ShikaTema, NejiTen, KakaGai) and not a NOTP in order to ensure the speed and quality of the fic.
AUs and canon-verse are fine. No Bortuo.
Fics will be 2,000 words minimum, but depending on the prompt may go up to 5,000.
Donating more than $5 will not change the word count, unless it is a generous donation (ie. $50 or more) and/or you donate to all 9 families above. However, bear in mind this will prolong the writing process.
Donations to multiple families counts as separate fics, or you can combine these donations into a longer fic. Again, bear in mind longer fics will take more time.
You may request a fic idea of your own, or if you do not have one you may request a fic from my 'ideas doc' which I will pick at random.
You cannot make a $20 donation for a GaaLee Fic for Gaza and use that same donation towards a bid on a fic update. Those must be separate.
There is currently no cap to how many fics I will write, but that is subject to change in the event this blows up (which I don't expect).
Fanfiction Bids for Falastin
Unlike the above, this campaign hopes to encourage larger donations through bidding on a fanfic update.
As I am a notoriously slow writer, who will disappear for a year and then return with a 30k word chapter update, and because @shukakumoodboard indicated hope that a donation could lead to a certain fic being updated, I thought perhaps other people might also consider donating for an update as opposed to something new. The minimum/starting bid is higher because the WIPs available for bidding are all a lot more complex than a 2k word one-shot, and will take more time. The bidding format also allows me to only worry about ONE large update, as opposed to a handful of updates.
And because this is about helping Palestinian families, you must actually donate to the families for your bid to count towards a potential update. While I would love to promise multiple 30k word updates, I do not have that capacity right now and so only one person can make the final choice on what will be updated.
Below is a more thorough breakdown of this particular donation campaign and the fics available for bidding:
Starting donation is $20. Like the GaaLee Fics for Gaza campaign, proof of donation is required. Donation does not guarantee you will be able to pick a fic for updating.
You cannot combine donating a donation from GaaLee Fics for Gaza fic with this campaign.
There is no min/max word count, as this will be for ongoing fics. Depending on the fic the update could be anywhere from 5k words to 50k.
There will be no prompts. Again, this is for a fic update. All WIPs are already plotted and changes will not be made to the plot.
You can bid as many times as you want, but separate bids will not be counted as one large bid. I will update a separate post as donations come in, so anyone donating can see what the most recent highest bid is.
Donations for this campaign will start immediately, and the end date will be May 20th.
At the end of this campaign, the donor with the highest single donation will be able to chose a fic update from ONE of the following fics:
Absolution
The Art of Love
The Ballad of the Dragon and the Phoenix*
Blood on the Branches*
It Eats Your Heart*
Thirteen Strokes
*Note: These fics are not as far along and the next chapter updates are not likely to be extremely long. Estimated at under 10K.
As a general note to everyone donating, please keep in mind that while I am running this campaign and will do my best to deliver fics quickly, I am also working, disabled, and most importantly still helping families who reach out to me on IG with their campaigns. I have a spreadsheet of nearly 100 families, with more people waiting on me to answer their messages. I will set aside a day a week to work on any fics for this campaign, but please understand these fics will not come out immediately.
Thank you in advance to everyone who donates, whether you donate for a fic or not. Truly, you have no idea how important every single donation is to every single family is. The messages I have received filled with gratitude and kindness would break your heart and make you cry. It was so impossible to pick only nine families to ask you to help when I have so many more reaching out to me; when there are so many more who I haven't spoken to whose campaigns I've seen on my various social media feeds. No one family is more important than another. Every family is filled with love, with stories, with memories, with hopes and dreams; every family matters so much; every single family deserves to live free, long, happy lives; and every family has experienced so much pain and loss there is no way to do that justice with words, but they deserve the chance to grieve, to breathe, and to heal.
Please help these families reach their goals, and if you cannot donate the minimum required for fic, please even $1 will make a difference. Every single thing we do creates a ripple effect. One dollar becomes two, becomes three, becomes four... until one day a family is safe.
So please, regardless of the fic I am offering, do what you can--whether that's sharing GFMs or donating. Every little bit helps.
XO

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends
any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don’t have to choose what it is if they can’t make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you’re just gonna make food happen at their house.
friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.
someone’s relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.
buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.
pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that’s what they want.
people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.
legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.
