“Sasuke has his head up his butt. Sakura also has her head up Sasuke’s butt. I mean, just looking at those tiny shorts you wouldn’t say that two heads would fit up there, but obviously they somehow manage. And that’s not even talking about Ino, and the other fangirls, and the teachers at the Academy, and the Council….” He paused and blinked a few times. A horrifying realisation dawned on him. “Wow, now that I think about it, it totally makes sense that he’s grumpy. Living with a whole village inside your butt must be painful.”

Porrim says, “Fight Club is a pathetic attempt at deconstructing the patriarchal dictum that might makes right. It contradicts itself in methodology and rhetoric, it employs a nearly incoherent pastiche of violent tropes and ultimately offers the very audience it’s trying to talk to a perfect reason not to listen. The story lays out this appealingly self-indulgent ideology where you can shed all responsibility for the disaster you’ve made of yourself. Fight Club has become one more bullshit stone-age power fantasy for sad boys who want to blame their mothers for not enjoying the men they grew up to become, who want to think that if the world ended tomorrow it would make them all free instead of dead. The zombie apocalypse crowd. The fucking meninists.” And she spits on the ground. It slaps wetly against the cement.

She says, “Fight Club is about how kindness is what builds a better world out of the one we’ve got. And it’s about how men would rather buy into the most self-destructive bullshit ideology rather than having to face up to the fact that being a good person is hard.”

She says, “But you know what? I want in on that.”

She says, “Why should men get all the fun?”

"How come people don't ask amber wizards to permanently turn them into dragons? Their battle magic has a chance of accidentally making into a dragon permanently so there should surely be some ritual to do that on purpose."

"Notwithstanding the reasonable chance of horrible megadeath, who are you going to trust with the power of Being A Dragon? Who's going to foot the bill for feeding, housing, training, clothing, providing entertainment, etc. for your new force of transformed dragons, especially since as dragons any of them could easily leave for another continent whenever they feel like it? Are they even going to be fully grown dragons or will they need to grow for a few decades before being battle-ready? And if an elder dragon finds out about your artificial dragon industry and is ticked off about it, you and everyone else within a few miles are toast.

All told this is a brilliant plan and if I was an Amber Lord Magister I'd move to begin reckless experimentation immediately."

"Hello, Lionus Gobrecht. My name is Farseer Ashetara of Craftworld Kinshara, and I come to you because we have no other options. All the old methods of communication are severed, all trust has been eroded between our peoples, but I have a dire portent, and an offer."

"I'm listening." Leo said weakly.

"She can't hear you, it's a recording." Araleth said.

"Yes, my apologies, this is not a two-way conversation." the Farseer said.

TT: I'm not sure I know what you're talking about.
TT: All the aggression expressed above seemed fairly overt to me.
tt: Really?
tt: You just handed me the rhyming baton with "orange" stamped on the end in flowery lavender shit.
tt: It doesn't get more passive aggressive than that.

Summarized from the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2E Tome of Salvation

Verena's temple entry is surprisingly sparse, but her holy site rules. Ildebrand's Field marks the site where a zealous Sigmarite Witch Hunter held his final court. Ildebrand was infamous for his massive, theatrical show-trials, where he would arrive and start a huge spectacle, ending in burning people pretty much at random on the accusations of the locals. His trials were mockeries of justice, arbitrary affairs devoted to theater rather than finding the truth. One day, he showed up at town of Silburwurt in Reikland, and set up his court. The first person brought before him was the usual helpless old woman who lived alone at the edge of town, and he began his usual bellowing of accusations as she became incoherent with fear. Then he pronounced his verdict: She was just an old woman who lived alone, not a heretic. In every case he faced that day, he could not do as he normally did, and instead handed down just and true verdicts, much to his own surprise. Suddenly, he found himself investigating why people had brought their neighbors to him, discovering many had property their neighbors wished to confiscate. In one case, he discovered an accuser was a secret cultist of Khaine who viewed 'getting a guy murdered by an insane Witch Hunter' as a great way to assassinate someone, and captured the real heretic for trial and execution. At the end, he passed judgement on himself as a murderer for the many innocents he'd burned, and hung himself. A temple of Verena has been built around the tree, while Sigmarites grumble that this was obviously the work of the Ruinous Powers.

ROSE: It’s not just any supposed-utopia we’re supposed to be living out in canonical-Candy.
ROSE: It’s a white person’s utopia.
ROSE: A hyper-atomized future in which our community fundamentally doesn’t matter to us, in which we tie ourselves up in our immediate romantic relationships and our own tiny lives without bothering to spend any time with the friends and family we created a universe with.
ROSE: A future in which Renaissance-born individualist liberalism pastes over the community-oriented cultures that some or all of us might theoretically have a connection to.
ROSE: And, for that matter, one in which our interpretation as people of color relies on us being either too fundamentally selfish to intervene in a case of obvious cross-species oppression, or too unbelievably fucking stupid to see the ways it parallels intra-human racism.
ROSE: That’s what frustrates me about this, June.
ROSE: That for all that canon is an ostensibly race-neutral narrative, it fucking can’t be.
ROSE: Am I really expected to believe that Roxy, as any kind of person of color, would place their friendship with Jane over the racially-fraught policy of regulating the reproduction of an entire marginalized people?

How hard was it for Kakashi to understand that there were times when the rules had to be broken, and many great shinobi broke the rules? Seriously, they were more like guidelines anyway!

i have been DYING for someone to use that in a shitty ninjas fic ever since that movie came out. and now. NOW ITS COME TRUE

“You keep using that word.” Naruto sneered, the expression alien on his face and his voice dripping with disgust. “And yeah, sure, you’re right, maybe he made some bad choices, and yeah, he betrayed the Village, but, you, Sakura-chan, you’re worse!” Reeling more than if he’d slapped her, Sakura’s control over the snakes wavered, and the technique dispelled. Naruto stayed where he was though, the corrosive kyuubi chakra having receded a few seconds after Sakura caught him even though his eyes still gleamed with barely-restrained fury. “You betrayed your team for your ambition and decided that breaking every bone in your teammate’s body was the right way to ensure he’d stay in the Village! Yeah, Sasuke might be seen as a traitor, but you, you’re a monster, Sakura!”

Monster.

Monstermonstermonstermonstermonstermonstermonster-!

Sakura took a small step back. Then another. Her eyes were burning, her hands shaking, her heart hammering in her chest, but her voice, when she spoke, was steady with a calm she did not feel.

“Ah.” She murmured, letting her arm drop, the sleeve falling past her fingers, covering their tremor. “So that’s how it is.” And then, she reached for that place inside her that assured her she was never really alone, felt the traces of familiar chakra and the blood in the seal, and pulled.

She was gone between one blink and the next, just a second too soon to see the dawning horror on Naruto’s face as he realised what he’d said.

This fic is killing my feels

Sorry for the long section, it's hard to just grab bits when the whole thing is just. Oof. Basic plot, Sakura becomes badass after wave mission through pure willpower, basically becoming a right terrifying person, and that's coming from me only being around halfway done with the fic. It is long but worth it

You are basically the second shittiest hemo-caste you can possibly be, and as such you get through every shitty day by being as much of a sarcastic douche to people as you can get away with, forming detailed political theories, hoarding every penny you can make and using your own tendency to think of yourself as a tragic martyr to your advantage. You can’t feel like a martyr properly when you’re lyin’ around at home, after all. You have to be at work, doin’ important things even though you’re starvin’ and tired and never at the right temperature, or else you can’t do it right.

Finally, Touya finished his recital, winking at the whooping girls and ignoring the boos from the part of the crowd who had come to witness his downfall.

And then it was Itachi’s turn.

“You can do it, Stalker-san!” Sakura whispered encouragingly. Though she didn’t sound very sure. And so, Itachi was left to walk up the stage on his lonesome, feeling rather like he was walking toward his execution instead.

“Psst, boy.” He suddenly turned around and found Yuna and her cat peering at him from behind a corner. “Over here.”

Itachi walked over.

“What’s your performance going to be?” rasped the old woman.

“…flips…”

It's better if you read up to the context instead of me outright telling you, but this is but a crumb of the masterpiece that is this naruto fic. It's only barely an au, starts with Sakura forfeiting her team during the chunin first test, and a different set of events from there

“Look at this.” Kakashi rested a hand on the monument, and his shoulders slumped slightly. “The numerous names carved on this stone. These’re ninja who are recognized as heroes of the village.”

Naruto got up again, his entire body radiating determination. “Hey! I’ve decided to get my name carved on that stone too, dattebayo!” Sakura felt the blood drain from her cheeks as the possibility of it entered her mind. “Hero! Hero! That’s what I’ll become!”

And it was so easy to imagine it. Naruto, who was always so eager to prove himself... she tried to shake the thought out of her head before tears started to gather in her eyes.

HHHHHH

Edit: link. Au where Sakura is a secret senju and rin lives. Not actually all that different at this point (chapter 5)
