If I Had Four Dromedaries (Chris Marker, 1966)

babe wake up its out of touch blackbeard thursday

I've been seeing comments and tags like this since forever and I really don't understand where people are getting this idea from!.

This is the same Kakashi who has been cliff climbing with one hand tied behind his back since he was 4 years old

The same Kakashi who was doing push ups with One Finger with 2 people sitting on his back while he was recovering from chakra Depletion and other injuries

The same Kakashi who was training in his hospital bed instead of resting with the IV still connected to him

The same Kakashi who was wielding the Executioner Blade with one hand an entire day with ease, fighting the 7 swordsmen of The mist like a friggin' boss

That same giant blade that requires insane strength to be able to hold

Zabuza himself was holding that blade with 2 hands

There's a reason Might Guy chose Kakashi specifically to be his eternal rival, because he's the only one who can actually keep up with him.

It's like people has stopped watching/reading Naruto since forever and now all they know about it is from the fanfictions they read, like the canon never even happened!!.

Part 2

I think Tumblr should simply gamify reporting spambots for its users and give a day of free crabs to whoever (correctly) reports the most

Nimona and the Myth of the Perfect Victim

Nimona is great at showcasing why “If you didn’t act so threatening people would stop being bigoted” doesn’t work. That idea has been rampant in social movements for so long, the concept that if oppressed people were just more passive with their wording, and never got angry or defensive, people wouldn’t have reason to oppress them.

When the village attacks her, Nimona doesn’t initially fight back, but tries to explain to them, showing them her “acceptable” form as a young girl.

But they don’t care that Nimona looks acceptable, they still know her for a shapeshifter and attack anyway. Then, when Nimona fights back with fangs and claws, Gloreth becomes convinced she is indeed a monster. Never mind the context of the provocation, Nimona looked scary, so is now a monster.

Far in the future, Nimona now doesn’t worry about looking respectable. Ballister tells them they should look like a girl, because it would be easier for to be accepted.

To many people, this would be valid reasoning - if Nimona assumes a non-threatening form, no one will be scared. But Nimona knows this isn’t true. If people catch sight of the shapeshifting even for a moment, it won’t matter that Nimona takes the form of a sweet, innocent girl. They will attack anyway.

And staying as a girl forever, never letting them see, is something she doesn’t see as an option. Other people might see it that way, that it is better to forever rigidly conceal their identity so they never once face any hatred, but as Nimona says, while it’s not true death, it sure isn’t living.

Earlier, Ballister was caught destroying the prison with Nimona, adding fuel to the idea of him as a villain, which he blames her for. But he was labeled as one anyway. Had Nimona not gotten him to wreak havoc, he would have remained in prison and never seen as innocent.

While Ballister initially believes that Nimona is ridiculous to dramatically break standards of acceptability, he realizes that some people won’t accept Nimona even if she is “the perfect victim.”

We see this in real life, where even someone who is the epitome of moral decency will still eventually be targeted. Illusions to the contrary are disproven.

Of course the city screams and runs when Nimona transforms into a giant creature, but they screamed and ran when he turned into non-threatening creatures as well. So Nimona is driven to view it as not mattering which she does. Of course, in the end she chooses to help them anyway, and calm herself from her giant form, because Ballister shows her recognition while she is in it.

Ballister sees her in her most terrifying form and recognizes she is lashing out from fear and anger at the treatment she received. He doesn’t demand she stop and be more respectable, he sees them as they truly are and shows them understanding, and that is what calms Nimona down.

There is no perfect victim. Everyone is messy and flawed and will lash out. If there were a perfect victim, it wouldn’t matter anyway. A perfect victim is one who never dares raise an arm against attack, even out of desperate self defense. Nimona would be a perfect victim if she had laid down and succumbed to the pitchforks. Ballister would be a perfect victim if he sat in prison to rot.

A “perfect victim” will always die before being being recognized as such, because the only true acceptable way for a marginalized person to exist is to be dead.

How old is kakashi through out the series when he was young to boruto sorry

Thank you for the ask

• According to my research and calculations Sakumo died when Kakashi was 4 (I explained this here)

• According to the Manga Kakashi graduated from the academy at 5 and became Chunin at 6.

• Again according to my calculations here he became Jounin at 9 which is based on Naruto Shippuden episode 483 which is a filler BUT!! we have another filler episode in Boruto states that Kakashi was 12 when he became Jounin so like @pax-thuban said before it's the battle of fillers lol, I myself would choose Naruto fillers over Boruto fillers any given day but if you chose to go with the Boruto filler for this part, that would be okay too I guess.

• According to Kakashi Anbu arc, Itachi joined Anbu at 11 and was slightly younger than Kakashi when he joined Anbu so Kakashi was 12/13 years old when he joined Anbu.

• He was 14 years old when Naruto was born and Minato died the day of the Kyuubi attack.

• He spent 10 years in Anbu before Hiruzen makes him a Jounin Sensei so he was around 22/23 when he left Anbu and became Jounin Sensei and started failing kids lol.

• He started teaching team 7 at 26 according to the 1st databook and he was 27 when og Naruto ended according to the 2nd databook.

• He was 29 at the beginning of Shippuden according to the 3rd databook and 31 at the end of the war according to the 4th databook.

• He became Hokage at 32 according to Kakashi Hiden.

• He was 33 in Naruto the movie which was 2 years after the war.

• He was 46 at the beginning of Boruto since Naruto stated that 15 years has passed since the end of the war in Boruto the movie.

• And according to the recent Boruto episodes a year has passed so right now he is 47.
