My friends
My name is Fadi from Gaza 🙏. Our lives completely changed after our home was destroyed. My wife, our four children, and I are now displaced, moving from place to place trying to survive under extremely difficult conditions. My wife and daughter were seriously injured, and we urgently need medical care, food, and safe shelter. 💔😭
We are now living in a small tent, fearing the rain and the freezing cold. We don’t have enough food or money to provide for our basic needs. Without your support, I won’t be able to buy tarps to protect us from the rain, provide enough food for my children, or even save a small amount to rent a small apartment anywhere in Gaza.
Please do not ignore my plea. Every bit of support, no matter how small, will make a huge difference in our lives. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing by me and supporting us in these difficult times. 🙏💛

I hate to be annoying, but wtf are these people talking about:
First one first, Temari never got Madara's praise, lmao. Like, point me to the manga panel or anime scene where he acknowledged and praised her. That never happened. It's just a hc they made. She landed one singular hit on him in the anime, caused no damage at all, he got up, dusted himself, and didn't even bother acknowledging her existence or looking in her direction. Her fans think that's him praising her. At this point, the Temari girlies might just be a tiny bit more delulu than the Sakura girlies, when the Skra fans also insist that Madara praised her too, by acknowledging her Ying seal and saying that it reminded him of Tsunade or smth? At least he had a fleeting thought when Sakura recklessly and stupidly might I add, attacked him. He didn't spare Temari the same courtesy.
The second one. Oh, boy. All right, I'm okay, with the Shikamaru hate. I'm not really fond of that dude either. He's whatever. Shit-talk him all you want. Ship Temari with all the other girls. I support you on that. What surprises me are the notions this person has that Temari is a feminist, and in their words 'very obviously pro-woman.' Said like Kishimoto gave her a whole arc standing up for oppressed women and their rights in Suna, and how that led to her becoming a feminist icon in the ninja world. Things that, as we know, aren't true. Temari was never explicitly shown or portrayed to be a 'feminist icon' in any way. She's seen only once, saying that men are weak when she had that talk with Shikamaru in the hospital. As we know, saying that men are weak in one scene doesn't mean she's a feminist. Especially when she never repeats those words, has any actions to support that she believes those words, and her brothers definitely aren't weak, so she definitely doesn't fully believe what she said there. Now, I also have no problems if you want to write her like that in your fanfics (even if her fanon feminist version usually includes her being abusive to Kankuro). But stating it like that, as if it was a fact, is not it. You might end up misleading some people who haven't watched Naruto and are considering watching it, into actually believing there's an actual feminist character in the show. Imagine you've never watched Naruto. All the things you've heard bout it are in regards to how mysoginistic the writing is. Then you come across this post about a character named Temari, who's a feminist according to her fans. So, hope returns to you, that perhaps! There's actually a good female character in this show! So, you go watch it, just to be sucker punched by the fact that Temari is just another love interest. A love interest to the openly mysoginistic guy, might I add. Guys, in Kishimoto's canon, the Temari that Kishimoto wrote in his story doesn't even pass the Bechdel test, I'm sure. Unless you wanna count the few scenes she has screaming at Gaara's two fangirls (Matsuri and her friend) in the anime during the war arc, as canon.
I really have no idea what gave so many people the impression that she's a feminist icon. Why are you looking for feminist icons in Naruto. Go watch a better show, like Full Metal Alchemist, One Piece, Chainsaw Man, or even Soul Eater. I'm pretty sure all of those have way better female characters that maybe could be considered 'feminist icons'. Looking for one in Naruto is like looking for water in the desert. Tsunade is the best written, and she barely passes as a half-full well. Temari was always just destined to be a love interest. We're just told she's in an important position but never shown any of her achievements (like what part did she play in the peace and alliance between villages?) Literally a big example of a 'tell don't show' type of character. I just.... don't know what else to say, really. So, I'll just leave this here and go.

🍖 How to Build a Culture Without Just Inventing Spices and Necklaces
(a worldbuilding roast. with love.)
So. You’re building a fantasy world, and you’ve just invented: → Three types of ceremonial jewelry → A spice that tastes like cinnamon if it were bitter and cursed → A holiday where everyone wears gold and screams at dawn
Cute. But that’s not culture. That’s aesthetics.
And if your worldbuilding is all outfits, dances, and spice blends with vaguely mystical names, your story’s probably going to feel like a cosplay convention held inside a Pinterest board.
Here’s how to fix that—aka: how to build a real, functioning culture that shapes your story, not just its vibes.
─────── ✦ ───────
- 🔗 Culture Is Built on Power, Not Just Style
Ask yourself: → Who’s in charge, and why? → Who has land? Who doesn’t? → What’s considered taboo, sacred, or punishable by death?
Culture is shaped by who gets to make the rules and who gets crushed by them. That’s where things like religion, family structure, class divisions, gender roles, and social expectations actually come from.
Start there. Not at the embroidery.
─────── ✦ ───────
2.🪓 Culture Comes From Conflict
Did this society evolve peacefully? Was it colonized? Did it colonize? Was it rebuilt after a war? Is it still in one?
→ What was destroyed and mythologized? → What do the survivors still whisper about? → What do children get taught in school that’s… suspiciously sanitized?
No culture is neutral. Every tradition has a history, and that history should taste like blood, loss, or propaganda.
─────── ✦ ───────
3.🧠 Belief Systems > Customs Lists
Sure, rituals and holidays are cool. But what do people believe about: → Death? → Love? → Time? → The natural world? → Justice?
Example: A society that believes time is cyclical vs. one that sees time as linear will approach everything—from prison sentences to grief—completely differently.
You don’t need to invent 80 gods. You need to know what those gods mean to the people who pray to them.
─────── ✦ ───────
4.🫀 Culture Controls Behavior (Quietly)
Culture shows up in: → What people apologize for → What insults cut deepest → What people are embarrassed about → What’s praised publicly vs. what’s hidden privately
For instance: → A culture obsessed with stoicism won’t say “I love you.” They’ll say “Have you eaten?” → A culture built on legacy might prioritize ancestor veneration, archival writing, name inheritance.
This stuff? Way more immersive than giving everyone matching earrings.
─────── ✦ ───────
5. 🏠 Culture = Daily Life, Not Just Festivals
Sure, your MC might attend a funeral where people paint their faces blue. But what about: → Breakfast routines? → How people greet each other on the street? → Who cooks, and who eats first? → What’s considered “clean” or “proper”? → How is parenting handled? Divorce?
Culture is what happens between plot points. It should shape your character’s assumptions, language, fears, and habits—whether or not a festival is going on.
─────── ✦ ───────
6. 💬 Let Your Characters Disagree With Their Own Culture
A culture isn’t a monolith.
Even in deeply traditional societies, people: → Rebel → Question → Break rules → Misinterpret laws → Mock sacred things → Act hypocritically → Weaponize or resist what’s expected
Let your characters wrestle with the culture around them. That’s where realism (and tension) lives.
─────── ✦ ───────
7.🧼 Beware the “Pretty = Good” Trap
Worldbuilding gets boring fast when: → The protagonist’s homeland is beautiful and pure → The enemy’s culture is dark and “barbaric” → Every detail just reinforces who the reader should like
You can—and should—challenge the aesthetic hierarchy. → Let ugly things be beloved. → Let beautiful things be corrupt. → Let your MC romanticize their culture and then get disillusioned by it later.
─────── ✦ ───────
📍 TL;DR (but like, spicy): → Culture is not food and jewelry. → Culture is power, fear, memory, contradiction. → Stop inventing spices until you know who starved last winter. → Let your world feel lived in, not curated.
The best cultural worldbuilding doesn’t look like a list. It feels like a system. A pressure. A presence your characters can’t escape—even if they try.
Now go. Build something real. (You can add spices later.)

How to use Em Dash (—) and Semi Colon ( ; )
Since the ai accusations are still being thrown around, here's how i personally like to use these GASP ai telltales. 🦄✨
- Em Dashes (—)
To emphasize a shift / action / thought.
They're accusing us—actually accusing us—of using AI.
To add drama.
They dismissed our skills as AI—didn't even think twice, the dimwits—and believed they were onto something.
To insert a sudden thought. Surely they wouldn't do that to us—would they?
To interrupt someone's speech. "Hey, please don't say that. I honed my craft through years of blood and tears—" "Shut up, prompter."
To interrupt someone's thoughts / insert a sudden event.
We're going to get those kudos. We're going to get those reblogs—
A chronically online Steve commented, “it sounds like ai, idk.”
- Semi Colons ( ; )
To join two closely related independent sentences / connect ideas.
Not only ChatGPT is capable of correct punctuation; who do you think it learned from in the first place?
Ultimate pro tip: use them whenever the fudge you want. You don't owe anyone your creative process. 🌈

5 Tiny Writing Tips That Aren’t Talked About Enough (but work for me)
These are some lowkey underrated tips I’ve seen floating around writing communities — the kind that don’t get flashy attention but seriously changed how I write.
1. Put “he/she/they” at the start of the sentence less often.
Try switching up your sentence rhythm. Instead of
“She walked to the window,”
try
“The window creaked open under her touch.”
Keeps it fresh and stops the paragraph from sounding like a checklist.
2. Don’t describe everything — describe what matters.
Instead of listing every detail in a room, pick 2–3 objects that say something.
“A half-drunk mug of tea and a knife on the table”
sets a way stronger tone than
“There was a wooden table, two chairs, and a shelf.”
3. Use beats instead of dialogue tags sometimes.
Instead of:
"I'm fine," she said.
Try:
"I'm fine." She wiped her hands on her skirt.
It helps shows emotion, and movement.
4. Write your first draft like no one will ever read it.
No pressure. No perfection. Just vibes. The point of draft one is to exist. Let it be messy and weird — future you will thank you for at least something to edit.
5. When stuck, ask: “What’s the most fun thing that could happen next?”
Not logical. Not realistic. FUN. It doesn’t have to stay — but chasing excitement can blast through writer’s block and give you ideas you actually want to write.
What’s a tip that unexpectedly helped with your writing? Let me know!! 🍒

bright-hope-spot-19Reblogged isana-kagetsunardo-headcanonsFollowSunagakure Worldbuilding HeadcanonMy last post on Kirigakure made me think of some Sunagakure Headcanons. Here they are! This is very long, but I hope you enjoy!People and CultureThe wind realm’s population is rather decentralized, so there are a lot of subcultures, accents and customs that have developed over time. The people of Sunagakure are very intelligent and hard workers and don’t take shit from anyone. They value their independence but also recognize the use of unionizing to achieve their goals. They use rather few words to communicate amongst each other in public, but in private they can be very poetic. Also, they secretly don’t mind the stereotype of tumbleweeds rolling around everywhere in the village, because they can relate. To outsiders, they seem secretive and mysterious, but they are in reality very friendly and hospitable. Once you make a friend in Suna, you’ve made a friend for life. Gift giving, especially in the form of food or other self-made goods is always appreciated. Suna citizens are hopeless romantics, and most soap operas and sappy romance books are produced there. They love to make music and sing together. Most instruments originate from the wind realm and its citizens proudly call themselves the creators of all music in the shinobi world. The wind realm is the country with the richest culture in the shinobi world.PoliticsRecently, Suna has been plagued by an economic crisis, as the wind realm daimyo has preferably hired Konoha shinobi to get missions done. This has raised the distrust in the wind realm government and made the people more loyal to the kazekage than the daimyo. The shinobi have started to prioritize the mission over the lives of the shinobi fulfilling it, however they make sure to give their teammates a quick and painless death if they get into that situation.
Clothing and CosmeticsMost Suna Shinobi wear long sleeves and cover their head, to protect their skin from sun damage. It’s also very common to cover your face in layers of fabric, as the Suna sandstorms can be ruthless. Light brown, grey, white and black are the most popular colors, as they allow you to blend in with your surroundings and not get detected by enemy shinobi. All people, including kuniochis, keep their hair rather short, cover it or tie them together in some kind of way. There are a lot of unique hairstyles to deal with the strong winds, as can be seen by Temari, who wears four ponytails because the winds would otherwise just destroy her hairstyle if she wore just two. For festive occasions though, Suna clothes are vibrant and colorful, with very intricate details. The most preferred fabric choices are silk and cotton.
Before the recession, Suna also had a booming beauty industry, with the best moisturizers, sunblock and body wash originating from there. There is an ongoing feud between the wind realm and the water realm about who has the better skincare products. Wind realm citizens are known to always smell good and take great care of themselves. They use bidets and shower frequently. The women are rumored to be the most beautiful in the shinobi world, however many of them have to deal with orientalism and exoticism from foreigners.NatureFloraA fact that a lot of foreigners get wrong is that Sunagakure is covered completely in desert wasteland. Quite a bit of vegetation is savannah and what we call mediterranean. Still a rather hot country, it is characterized by agonizingly hot summers and barely existing winters. The actual deserts of the wind realm are sprinkled with oases, around which many settlements have formed. The terrain around those oases is very fertile and most of the country’s produce is grown there. Sandstorms are not a rarity here and during these storms there are self-imposed curfews as Suna citizens know that once you get buried in a sandstorm, there is no way anyone will find you buried under all that sand. Only a few nomadic families actually travel and live outside of the oases.
Fauna The deserts that surround Suna are filled to the brim with the most dangerous, savage animals known to the shinobi realm. The snakes especially must not be underestimated, as their venom can kill a grown shinobi within minutes. Many marionette wielders therefore use it against their enemies. The rivers of the wind realm are full of crocodiles and freshwater fish. The fennec fox is seen as a symbol of good luck and suna nin believe their mission will be a success when they see one. Aside from other cats of prey like lions, cheetahs and leopards. Other mammals include hyenas, hyraxes, macaques, gazelles, oryxes, camels, hedgehogs and sheep. When it comes to rodents, you can find desert rats, porcupines, armadillos, meerkats and gundis. Suna also has the largest spider population in the shinobi world, and you often must check your toilet and shower for any venomous spiders hanging out there. At night you can see bats flying through the sky. The wind realm sea is a home to many kinds of saltwater fish and sometimes you can visit the dolphins, that are particularly friendly to children. Mosquito stings are nasty here, and many diseases, for example those that we call malaria and dengue fever are endemic here. Wind realm citizens have a natural immunity against them and sleep them off in a day, but there are vaccinations available for foreigners.FoodStew and other slow cooked gravy dishes
The absolute staple of any Suna nin are stews. They’re elaborate and take the whole day to cook. Every family has its own recipes (and thinks theirs is the best) it’s useful to just cut up veggies and meat, and then slow cook it until it’s done. Stews made in Suna include gumbo, adobo, maafe, and many curries.
Spices
Wind realm citizens have the greatest spice tolerance in the shinobi world. The greatest variety of spices is produced there, from cumin, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, pepper, chilli, cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg, bay leaves, tumeric and a myriad of other herbs and spices. Suna food is very spicy for two reasons: many spices they use have a disinfecting effect, and the accelerated production of sweat helps cool down the body. Most spices are sold dried to increase shelf life. Many outsiders travel to Suna to acquire spices directly from the source, thinking they’ll get them for cheap, however, the vendors charge foreigners at a hefty margin. Sunagakure is the greatest exporter of all things spices.
Legumes
Legumes play a very important role in the local eating pyramid. They serve as a satiating source of carbohydrates and protein. Beans and lentils can be turned into tofu, stew, mashed or baked, peanuts are often used as a base for stew and sauces in the form of peanut butter. Roasted and salted peanuts are a popular snack in Sunagakure. The biggest buyer of Suna’s exported legumes is Iwagakure.Cassava
This starchy root is soaked and then cooked for a long time to make mash, in stews, or fried. Cassava flour also serves as a gluten free flour alternative and many Suna nin use it to thicken sauces and stews. There’s also tapioca starch which is exported into other countries.
Olives
In the moderate climate regions, many olive trees are grown, which are then used to make olive oil, the preferred fat source of Suna’s people.
Dairy
It can often be purchased from nomad families, who sell it in the form of milk, yoghurt, kefir, butter and cheese. The preferred dairy variant is goat’s dairy; however, sheep and cow’s dairy are also available. There’s a possibility that the concept of fermenting milk to make yoghurt and kefir was once brought in by Kiri immigrants, however most wind realm citizens are too proud to give this possibility any thought or think it’s just a myth.
Meat
Just like dairy, meat can be purchased from several families that travel though the wind realm, or on bazars. It is dried often to increase shelf life.
Sweets
The best chocolate comes from here. The wind realm has a few islands where cocoa beans are produced, and Suna chocolate is known globally for its rich, earthy, fruity taste. Suna Nin are also the only people that regularly take coffee with them during missions. Most foreigners don’t like the bitter taste, but Sunagakure’s shinobis have realized that the caffeine within coffee beans is useful during missions where you must stay aware for long times. The most common sweetener is cane sugar and used to make coffee candy. Wind realm citizens don’t discriminate, and even children are allowed to have them. Another sweet food, especially popular amongst children are dates. On special occasions, Baklava are offered to the guests or given as a gift. Most foreigners find them way too sweet, but just can’t say no because they recognize the effort and craftsmanship that went into making them. The most popular fruit in Suna are: pomgranate, various kinds of citrus fruits, apples, grapes and green almonds. Ripened almonds are used to make marzipan, which is another one of Suna's culinary prides. Those who try persipan, a localized version from Kirigakure, think that it is a lesser version of their beloved treat.bright-hope-spot-19Ooooh, it's so cool and interesting to see world building headcanons for the culture of Suna! It's true that we never see much of it in the anime/manga, so these headcanons are amazing to expand on the world. Loved all of it, especially the part about Suna cuisine and food.

bright-hope-spot-19Rebloggedcloset-keysFollowALTwww.gofundme.comThe most recent ceasefire has not meant an end to genocide. We must contextualize this truth within the larger historical reality: Palestine has been enduring genocidal aggression from Israel since 1948. There are periods of greater intensity, but no periods of actual relief from this state. This is the reality of all settler-colonial projects, including Zionism. We must combat this genocide not as an outlier, but as deeply embedded in global structures of colonialism.closet-keysThese are not unprecedented times. This moment of constant atrocity continues steadily from each previous year. There is no way to rewind the clock. This does not mean further atrocity is inevitable. It is not fate.Genocide is not a force of "human nature" that we must live with. It is something humans are doing, and allowing to happen, and fighting against, and being martyred within, and surviving, all at once.We all have a role to play in how things progress from here. Time moves forward, and we must take accountability for how our collective decisions shape the future we must all endure.closet-keysMy friend Fadel is enduring the roughest consequences of all of our collective decisions. He is a young man, living in Gaza. He survived the bombing of his family home, but lives with chronic pain from untreated injuries. His family has been living in a tent since then, tattered and repeatedly flooded in winter storms. They have been sick for weeks now, unable to recover under these conditions.@fadel-dani runs a fundraiser to afford food, supplies, and medicine (gazavetters list #197). Hopefully he will raise enough to get to a better resourced hospital outside of Gaza where surgeons can remove the shrapnel from his body that causes him constant pain.These are the events of his life. We cannot go back in time and prevent these traumas from happening to him. His life can only move forward from this moment. We all have a role to play in what happens to him from here. Please help change the course of his life.fadel-daniI am one of the victims of this Nazi-like occupation. Our house was bombed while we were inside, resulting in me being injured by shrapnel that remains embedded in my body to this day. This is due to the destruction of all our hospitals by the Israeli occupation. Currently, the entry of medicines and medical equipment necessary for surgeries for the injured is being prevented. Therefore, I urgently need your help in donating so that I can raise the funds for my treatment, travel expenses, and surgery as soon as possible. Please donate.closet-keysPlease, if you can donate anything, share some funds with him. If you can't, reblog this and help get more eyes on Fadel's story. Comment encouraging others.

bright-hope-spot-19Rebloggedthereignofshadows-suFollowThere’s a noticeable gap between manga Sasuke and his anime portrayal, where his cold rival characteristics get flanderized, making him emotionless most of the time. The manga, however, allows him to show fear and vulnerability in ways the anime often skips. Early in the Land of Waves arc, Sasuke is shown as calm even in danger, handling the two Mist ninjas with ease while Naruto freezes up, even remarking that Sasuke didn’t break a sweat despite never having been in a real battle. When he later encounters Zabuza, that composure completely collapses. For the first time, Sasuke is shown genuinely scared, freezing in place, sweating and shaking, unable to move.Kishimoto might have used this scene to show how menacing jōnins are compared to genins, but using Sasuke to convey that fear is especially striking in hindsight. He had already experienced what it feels like to be completely powerless, with his life entirely at someone else’s mercy. Faced with Zabuza’s killing intent, the fear becomes so overwhelming that he feels he would rather die than stay trapped in it; this mirrors the helpless state he felt the night he watched his entire family die, with no way to stop it. The intense bloodthirst around him seems to pull him right back to that day, and these small details show just how deeply that trauma always affects him, humanizing his character in a way the anime version often misses.#sasuke uchiha#sasuke#naruto manga#uchiha sasuke#character analysis#character portrayal729

bright-hope-spot-19You know? I've had these two gifs saved for the longest time because they honestly intrigue me:The first gif is from Kankuro's fight vs. Shino in the forest, during the Leaf invasion. If you click on it to look at it carefully, you'll notice the white puppet wraps he keeps them in are floating in the air all around him. What's more, the scene also has the same wavy wind animation that they usually give to Temari in the anime while using her fan. Now, think that in this particular scene, it was only Kankuro, Shino, and the puppet. No one else was there with them, so Kankuro must've been the one creating that wind. Same with the fight against Sakon/Ukon during the Sasuke rescue arc. Once again, we can see the puppet wraps floating around him like a ring. Like, it can't just be a coincidence. That magic wind suddenly starts blowing specifically in Kankuro's direction the moment he unwraps his puppets. In the fight vs. The devil twins, it was just Kankuro, the twins, a half-dead Kiba, and a half-dead Akamaru. So, once again, Kankuro had to be the one making that wind. Watching these, it is my hc that Kankuro can definitely use wind jutsu. He just decides to use it for dramatic effect for a 'cool entrance' to battle. Like, the curtains opening dramatically to the theater stage before the play begins. He could definitely learn to use tessen jutsu. I've said it a few times, but if Temari taught him, he could learn almost everything she does in a short time. Like, a few months. At the bare minimum, he knows how to create wind with his hands the way that Baki does (or used to do. Dude didn't die. He just was written out of the story after Gaara's rescue). Or maybe go with the hc that he can control wind but with two smaller hand fans. There's many options, but what matters most is that Kankuro can create wind. You can rip this hc from my cold, dead hands. #naruto#kankuro#sabaku no kankuro#kankurou#temari#sabaku no temari#sand sibs#character hc#character headcanons#wind jutsu#shino aburame#kiba inuzuka#sakon and ukon#chunin exams#sasuke rescue arc#personal rant#personal opinion#kinda#character analysis… See all8
bright-hope-spot-19Rebloggedbright-hope-spot-19FollowNo joke, I was scrolling through the blog of someone who claimed they liked Sasuke and had reblogged various posts in his defense. While looking at them, tho, I was hit with a massive amount of whiplash when I saw they had one pro-Sasuke post and literally, right beneath that one, the one below it was a post saying that they wished Sakura had gotten to punch him at least once in the face, real hard. It's sooooo. Idk how to describe it. Thinking someone is pro-Sasuke just to be hit in the face with the fact that 'no, actually. They're also a Sakura fan who think she should've punched him and kicked his ass because the traumatized genocide and grooming survivor was mean to and raised his voice at her a few times.' You can't be pro Sasuke and pro Sakura at the same time. Being pro Sasuke inherently means that you want him to be freed from the shackles of a village that dehumanized him and still does. Being a Sasuke defender means that you want him free and away from all the people who viewed him as an object to be used and flaunted, including Sakura. Naruto, notwithstanding, as you could argue, he actually understood Sask better than anyone else. While being a Sakura fan implies that you think she had the potential to be a girlboss, but was done dirty, and a good surefire way to make her better is to let her punch and inflict even more pain on Sasuke. These two things cancel each other out. It's the same reason you can't claim to love Sasuke while shipping SS. I'll literally never understand this fixation Sakura fans have with writing scenarios of her falling in love with every other character (which is fine!) It's just that they mainly do so under the premise and guise that 'they all would treat her better than Sasuke', mainly Ino and Lee. Presenting and treating it as if Sasuke was some abusive bf and she was his victim. Instead of him being a victim of genocide who wants to be left the heck alone. As well as fantasizing and making up scenarios of Sakura kicking his ass. Guys, even if Sakura ever managed to gain enough courage and resolve to challenge him to a fair fight (which she'd lose tremendously. Her fans are ridiculously delulu thinking she could win or stand a chance against Sasuke). That still wouldn't make her a good character. Please, if you're just a Sakura fan who used to not like Sasuke until recently, and you just kinda support his hatred and revenge against the elders/village, but think he was mean, mysoginstic, or abusive to Sakura, stop posting content where it seems like you're defending him or you like or understand his character, cause you clearly don't. Pd: Also, I wanted to add to this. It's something that some Sasuke fans have pointed out before me, but that's how overprotective Sakura fans are of her getting hurt? Especially by Sasuke. Like, they hate it specifically when she's hurt by him, and it's the main reason many of her fans don't like Sasuke and think she would've been better off with anyone else. These characters are shinobi. They were signed into a life of violence and pain. Sakura should be able to handle it whenever Sasuke is mean to her or tries to retaliate in self-defense. That kind of reaction is to be expected for a shinobi. Sakura, as a student of a Sannin, is expected to be able to walk it off with little complaints. How do her fans expect her to be able to fight Sasuke and punch him in the face if they can't even stand seeing her being put in a genjutsu by him without losing their minds and accusing him of being a mysoginist? It does not make sense. I've said it once in the past and will say it again if it bears repeating: if Sakura is really so delicate that she can't deal with a single attack or mean word from Sasuke without her (and her fans) breaking mentally, then shinobi was never a good occupation for her. Just saying. bright-hope-spot-19This is an example of exactly what I mean:Tags left below a manga panel of the moment right after the Tsukuyomi launched, and Sasuke told both Sakura and Kakashi that they were useless and there's nothing they could do.No, actually. We agree that the ending was shit, but in that situation, he was justified in being rude. They were in a life/death situation, fighting a weird, freaky, uber powerful moon goddess, and after having met the sague of 6 paths and having it revealed that they were the incarnations of Indra/Ashura, Sasuke knew that they were the only two people who could seal Kaguya. And he was right. There was very little Sakura could do at that point. Her fans like to bring up the final scene where Sakura punched Kaguya in the head, allowing Sasuke and Naruto to seal her again as the biggest contributor to their victory. Like they could've never won that without her. I would say that yeah, if Sakura hadn't punched Kaguya at that moment, that would've definitely prolonged the fight, but not by much either. It would've prolonged it by only a few extra minutes, lol. Sasuke and Naruto could've still caught Kaguya and sealed her without Sakura's contribution, eventually. After all, Sakura only landed one punch. The other two had already spent various episodes fighting her before that. Yet, Sakura has to be the one taking more than half of the credit. This is what I mean when I refer to people who pose as Sasuke stans and have posts where they show support for him, but somehow that support ends the moment he even raises his voice at Sakura. And they think that just for that, for acting a little violent in a deadly situation, in the middle of a global war, Sakura should get to abuse him. I've seen that panel in the manga, and tbh, Sasuke wasn't even that violent or mean. He was just stating facts. He also wasn't singling her out specifically, as his words were also directed at Kakashi sensei, yet both Naruto and Kakashi (as well as her fans) only get offended for Sakura's sake cause she's such a delicate flower that can't handle people being a tiny bit mean to her. She mops and gets sad if she's told that the situation at hand is way too big for her. Really funny indeed. #naruto#sasuke uchiha#uchiha sasuke#pro sasuke uchiha#anti sakura#anti sakura haruno#anti sakura fandom#anti sasusaku#anti ss#uzumaki naruto#kakashi hatake#naruto uzumaki#kaguya otsutsuki3224

bright-hope-spot-19RebloggedcomradefleurFollowall kishimoto did in that damn story is punish the characters who challenged and stood up to the abuse of the ninja system, rendered them silent and docile in their realignment back into the fold, and lionized or redeemed the characters with the most insidious and rancid actions (especially if they did them on behalf of the state.) even a character like danzo who was finally actually put down in an act of justice was never publicly shamed or exposed for the horror he committed. and the elders were allowed to just chill the whole time. the entire narrative lacks so much accountability to victims of the system and its so jarring. no amount of love and light, kumbaya, talk no jutsu rhetoric could've reformed all of that decades deep systematic harm. no shade to that man but he coulda gave me the pen...#naruto shippuden#naruto#anti konoha#anti danzo#anti shinobi system#pro sasuke uchiha#uchiha sasuke#sasuke uchiha#sasuke did nothing wrong836

bright-hope-spot-19Reblogged sisdisscorvinamoraFollowImagine demanding an apology from a genocide survivor for not 'liking' the people who slaughtered his entire family. tbh Sasuke didn’t need a redemption arc because he wasn’t the problem the system was. He was right about the revolution, right about the village, and right about the Kage. Redemption is for people who screw up, not for the only guy who was right all along. You don't need to 'atone' for having a functioning brain in a village run by gaslighters or for trying to fix a trash system.bright-hope-spot-19Say it louder for the people in the back!!#pro sasuke uchiha#anti shinobi system#sasuke uchiha#anti konoha#anti naruto ending#anti naruto fandom#uchiha sasuke16111

bright-hope-spot-19RebloggedpolarysvelaryonFollowI think calling the Uchiha extermination a massacre and not a genocide is one of the biggest gaslightings in Naruto history. Massacre was what happened during wars, in any major battle, be it Minato, Sasori, or even the Sanin. Now, the Uchiha extermination doesn't even come close. People weren't being killed for being enemies on the battlefield; they were being murdered in the dead of night inside their own homes. Anyone with Uchiha blood was doomed, whether it was a child who hadn't even gone to the academy or an elderly man who had never set foot on a battlefield. Because it didn't matter if the individuals were part of the coup or not, whether they had an active Sharingan or not, whether they were civils or not. It was all about having Uchiha blood. Because eventually, they might have the Sharingan and might, perhaps, develop the curse of hatred and rebel against the village again. Even though as far as we know this curse doesn't affect everyone (after all there are several simple Uchihas, who hardly reached the third tomoe, who never came close to having a Mangekyou), even though the Uchihas only attempted a coup after almost 60 years of alliance and only because they were suffering more exclusion, even though many didn't even become ninjas.#uchiha clan#anti konoha#anti shinobi system#anti danzo#pro sasuke uchiha#naruto meta#sasuke#sasuke uchiha#uchiha sasuke#uchiha genocide#anti hiruzen443218

bright-hope-spot-19RebloggedshamebatsFollowMy child, who spends their entire life being transfered from home to car to school and back, and is not allowed to leave the house or talk to anyone and can only in their wildest dreams imagine a life free from constant surveillance, is very sad. Obviously they're dumb and lazy, like all kids these days. whineandcheese24kind of a tangent but i recently went to a bowling alley with my friend i'm 19 he's 18 and the woman at the door didn't want to let us in because there was a sign saying under-18s needed adult supervision. everything got cleared up and we were able to go bowl, but i'm still so mad about the fact that kids need adult supervision to go to a bowling alley and arcade. like okay maybe young kids should have supervision but what do you mean middle and high schoolers need to hold mommy's hand while they play video games. kids aren't just addicted to their phones because phones are addicting, we're addicted to our phones because there's nothing else to fucking doshamebatsI'm sure banning kids from online spaces while simultaneously not ensuring that they have access to offline spaces to socialize in (without having to rely on their parents who already don't have time for them) will help them feel better & less alienated from society. bright-hope-spot-19This constant constriction of child and teen spaces is abhorrent. They're not allowed to have fun outside anymore, as the number of public spaces for young teens to hang out in goes in decline. In addition to that, most spaces do not allow unsupervised kids without adult supervision, even if the teens in question are at an age where you can trust them to hang out alone in a teen friendly space. Add the fact that the same is happening to online spaces with lots of content suffering from censorship that would not have happened a few years ago, because nowadays, everything is considered 'too much' for kids. It's no wonder kids and teens nowadays are so sad, frustrated, and even depressed. They're constantly chained by their own parents. Especially those with strict parents who tend to go through their phones and punish them for watching pretty harmless things online. By being so ridiculously overprotective they're just harming children cause they won't be ready for the world when they grow up, cause tge adults around them, never fucking let them do anything! It's a reason there's so many guides on social media trying to teach newly turned adults how to do simple things. To all parents: teach your kids independence. Stop shielding them from the word. Give them freedom. Let them see the world. And I assure you they won't abandon you at an elderly home once you're old. They'll appreciate you for that forever. #children spaces#children rights#state of the world#lack of children and teen spaces in todays society#societies I mean. is one of the reasons humanity is going in decline. we're just ensuring that the next gen of adults can't fend for#themselves and can't hold an actual social interaction or make friends to save their lives. because they were simply not allowed to as kids#like not allowed to socialize with other kids outside of school. and school systems are gad enough in most places. that they simply not#encourage the fostering of friendships. because of how often bullying. and abuse and harassment of teachers to students. gets brushed under#the rug. so kids go to school where they suffer. and go back home depressed. and they're only allowed to go out on weekends. where there's#not many places to go. so they decide to stay inside and play games instead. but they get criticized for that too#they can simply never win.220,63930,712
