Naruto Nostalgia

would also explain why kakashi looked high during their first c-rank
...and made such...questionable decisions

 

so i'm rewatching the sasuke retrieval arc, which i LOVED when i was a middle schooler--i watched so many angsty amvs about the squad fightin through the pain

on the rewatch i think kiba's fight is my favorite? like, lil dog boy has a piss-based strategy. incredible. incredible!! sakon gets peed on TWICE. can't come back from that.

 

Consider: AU with Maito Gai as the academy's taijutsu sensei. The genin coming out would be so scary

How am I supposed to help when you've inflicted this on me and one shot me in the process

 

who are those people

 

The McElroy Brothers
Temari is Justin, Kankuro is Travis, Griffin is Gaara

 

There are some real characterization decisions made in this and I'm not sure I disagree with any of them

 

It might just be age order. Temari is the oldest, Kankuro is the middlest, and Gaara is the sweet baby brother.

 

To this day I still sit down and think about Waves Arc and sigh wistfully

 

Hey Y'all, are you bored and looking for some shitty ninja content to cry over? Well I've found just the comic for you! It's a look at kakashi and the lovely time he had growing up from the ages 5-6, aka when he got royally screwed over by a fucked wartime system! It's really good. Like, really really good. The best worst part is that it's unfinished on a cliffhanger and I'm dying. Last updated in July I believe.

CW for so many things, big ones are lots and lots of suicide ideation and child neglect/abuse. I literally found myself mentally screaming "he's only five! Please, he's only five!" Like every few pages:

Cover art alone will kick you straight in your pain center:

 

Went to my first con, got a print of The Best Ninja:

 

God, I came across a quiz on Tumblr called "how your past self died", and I got tuberculosis. In the little description area all it said was "like itachi :)" and I honestly haven't been startled into laughter like that in ages

 

Starting to jokeship Gaara/Lee because with gaara's nonexistent eyebrows and Lee's overabundance of eyebrows they make one normal set of brows

But in reality I just like the idea of them. Is it at all canon? Hell no. Do I love it? Completely

 

So someone made a Naruto Founders tarot zine and I am loving the art so much!!!!!
