I'm So Agreee With Thiiis 💕💕

Yes!! This is awesome. But the name...why it must "hanami?" To mainstream I guess. Maybr narusaku fanfom could be got special name. Btw i love ur art

So you see, a while ago I started a doodle of Hanami in her dad’s Hokage cloak (Naruto’s cloak is a deep red with black flames, high collar, and no sleeves). It was to go along with the proposal that Hanami wanted to become Hokage and continue Naruto’s legacy of peace.

I’m not sure if Hanami will become a sage, so I didn’t quite want to draw her in a sage cloak. Then I started to think, knowing Hanami, sage or not, she would come up with her own cloak of sorts.

So here’s just an idea of mine (which is overlapping @pumyteh‘s recent drawing of adult Hanami, hurr). It’s basically a cloak that has 2 flaps. One on the front, one on the back (and the option to zip up or leave open the front while the back is all just one cloth) Completely free of sleeves of any kind. Instead of flames (since I think the flames represent sageness), it’s sakura petals.

Again, in case you aren’t aware, Hanami is named after the Japanese tradition of observing the sakura trees before all the sakura petals fall off. I’m sure you can see the connection between her name and her mom’s.

What do you guys think about the designs? I’d love to see more Hokage Hanami/adult Hanami designs from everyone. Hanami and Shinachiku ended up as such great characters because the whole fandom got together and mashed stuff causing great stuff to be born. If we all come up with our ideas of them as older characters, the better off they’ll be~

I have a question that I thought you might know the answer to (or be interested in speculating about): can the lines on the classic 3DMG gear fire backwards? Or more generally, what's the range of movement when aiming those things? If it's relatively limited, that would mean the anti-personnel gear does have an advantage in flexibility, which might make me hate it slightly less. ;)

I’m so sorry for my late ass response to this! One of the reasons I decided to rewatch the anime is so I could answer this question thoroughly lol. Now then,

DISCLAIMER: This is my personal opinion. In no way am I stating what I say here is canon or completely accurate. if you disagree with my opinion, that’s perfectly fine! Everyone has a different interpretation of the series and its characters! However, if you are going to send me messages trying to argue points of view with me or send me hate messages because my opinion differs from your own; please do us both a favor and don’t even bother with it.

Though it is shown that the wires in the classic gear setup can withstand being moved and retracted from just about any direction without snapping after being anchored, I do not believe they can actually be fired backwards.

Every source I have looked up for this only shows one firing point on the anchor docks mounted at the hips, and it’s solely forward facing.

The direction in which they can fire the wires is limited solely to where they can aim their hips in a forward facing direction. They can choose how high or low to shoot them, but the direction at which they fire remains the same no matter what. However, even with this limited point of fire, their mobility overall is actually quite versatile. Like I said above, even though the wires can only be fired in one direction, they can move and be retracted from any direction. So once the wearer has the anchor secure, they can move as they please so long as only one wire is deployed. If both are deployed, this could happen:

The anti-personnel gear definitely has a more free range of initial directional choice, but due to being fired from the hands, it leaves the user open to attacks and the overall range of movement is compromised. They can only swing from their wrists, aim, shoot, and land on their feet.

They aren’t having to distribute their body weight or hyper-balance to preform, and they aren’t having to do wild flips and stunts to kill titans with that gear because it was made as a weapon to annihilate humans. So basically, it’s much easier to use. So while the classic gear is much more difficult to implement properly in battle and has limited directional options upon firing, it definitely offers a much broader spectrum of mobility overall. However, the AP3DMG allows for quicker attacks and freedom of direction with less strain on the body overall. So both have their benefits and their flaws, I suppose.

But neither allow for backwards firing from what I can tell.

Honestly, what I’m hoping is they managed to combine the two so they could have four points of directional fire. The better directional choice granted by the anti-personnel gear, and the free range of movement offered by the classic gear.

Javi: So what does your dream girl look like, Gabe?

Gabe: Hey Clem.

Clem: Yeah?

Gabe: Come here for a second.

Baahahahaha

When making Attack on Titan OC’s:

Pay attention to hair length.

PaY AtTention to HaIR lenGTH.

Pay attention to hair length.

pAY aTTention to Hair LenGTH.

Pay attention to hair length.

pAY ATTENTION TO HAIR LENGTH.

If you want your character to have long hair,style it in a way that will keep it out of the way of the maneuver gear, titans, and more importantly, their face. 

Scalping themselves with the maneuver gear sounds more horrid than being eaten by a titan.

The Beautiful Messages of GoT Season 8

If you lived in chains, you’ll die in chains.

Missandei dying while Cersei quipped about ‘Breaker of Chains’ was frankly more disgusting than all the character assasinations that happened this season.

If you had an abusive relationship, you’re bound to return to them in the end - cause abuse or not, true love is true love.

Jaime returning to Cersei makes me physically sick.

If you were unloved and unwanted in the beginning - and you find family and home, you’ll be thrown to the wolves again, and be forever alone.

Jon “We never should have left Winterfell” Snow, Jon who wanted a child named Robb, Jon who sacrificed everything for this dumb fucks over and over, is exiled to solitude to the place where he was slaughtered.

Seriosuly “You were wrong to love her, You were wrong to leave her” just wanted to go home. He wanted a family.

You’re bound to become like your parents.

Dany being kind, and inspirational, built practically like a messiah turns into a moustache twirling, borderline abusive, cartoon character evil, in the span of literally two episodes.

If you’re grieving, it justifies murdering thousands.

Greyworm slaughtering surrendered warriors cause he was grieving Missandei is atrocious. He loved her and what happened to her was so wrong. But Cersei is dead, and GW killed innocents. They made him a war criminal.

Kissing someone while killing them is the only way it could be done; especially if the person doing the killing is a trauma survivor of being stabbed in the heart.

You really dont need any explanation for this.

You’ll always be betrayed.

Yep. That’s the sad reality. It doesnt matter if you are Ned Stark or Daenerys Targaryen or Varys or Jon Snow. You’re pretty much always fucked.

You’re doomed to repeat your mistakes.

Every character in this season.

People will always think the worst of you.

It doesnt matter that Dany literally put everything on the line for her people. It doesnt matter what she’s sacrificed. It doesnt matter what she’s done. She’ll always be the evil tyrant.

It doesn’t matter if you are a great leader, and genuinely kind and gentle who can only see the best in everyone - if you aren’t playing games with people, you’re a dumb fuck.

The show dumbed Jon Snow down significantly. Toward the end, he was nothing more than a 'Yes’ man bending over backward to accommodate every other character.

But until the end, the fool genuinely believed that people could be saved, and that mercy was the way.

He then kills his girlfriend, in the same way he was killed. Cause that makes all the sense in the world.

What an idiot.

It doesnt matter what material and emotional progresses you make. You’ll always return to your default characteristics as you can’t fight nature.

Jaime.

You can only be strong and independent if you walk away from things that matter more to you than anything else in the world.

There’s no reason for Arya who literally just wanted to come home, to go West of Westeros when Bran was just, right there to tell her what was West of Westeros.

You are bound to become like your abusers.

Sansa getting Winterfell is her right. But having her behave like mini Cersei was messed up. Sansa straight up hated Dany before she even met her.

If they’d gotten to know each other better, they might have even gotten along. And even if they had not, we’d have had a more drawn out storyline as to why she hates Dany.

Sansa who always saw the best in people, is not going to disregard the good things Dany has done. She is way too smart for that.

You can lie and twist and scheme and manipulate, and still raise to the top, while doing absolutely nothing to deserve it, trampling all over much more worthy people. And that’s okay. As you can play. And others couldn’t.

Fuck you Bran. And you Tyrion. I love you, I miss you, and this isn’t you.

You can take advantage of people, and after taking everything you can from them, it’s only rational to tell them to fuck the hell off.

This is for all those fuckers who took advantage of Dany’s army, and all those useless shits who weren’t there in either the Winterfell Battle or the Battle of King’s Landing and thought they could exile Jon Snow to a life of eternal solitude.

Now that I’ve gotten all of that out, the most ridiculous thing this season is everyone seems to be using this to claw and tear into each other. I’m not spared from this either. I fly off the handle every time someone insults one of my favorites.

But all the same, Name one character up there that was being true to everything they’d endured. Name one thing up there that isnt an embarrassment to story telling.

The people who screwed them over were the writers. Back a few seasons ago, we used to love these people, we used to adore them, we used to be inspired by them.

These are not the same characters.

Fuck D&D. Fuck bad writing which asks us to be dumbed down to accept this as a rational outcome.

Stop throwing answers at us for questions that haven’t even been built up. Foreshadowing is NOT character development as a wise man once said.

Peace.

‘Clem’s hidden efforts’

I love her short height.💕💕

SUPER CUTE! 😍😍😍😍

Do you know if anyone wrote a response fic to show!Sansa publicly talking about Bran's supposed inability to have children (with no apparent concern about his feelings, even if show!bran acts like he doesn't feel anymore, it was still rude of her) just to bolster her own position? I just want Bran to get his personality back since the NK is defeated (maybe being called Bran the Broken by Tyrion triggers a response), marry Meera and have a bunch of children, just to rub it in Sansa's face.

I can’t even think about all the bs that occurred in that episode, especially in regards to Sansa being continuously propped up as this genius and brilliant snarker when her “genius” only occurs because everyone else is made into an idiot rather than raising her intelligence to a new level, her constant rudeness is made “okay” retroactively because “well Dany turned out to be mAadd” so Sansa antagonizing everyone was just fine because she was “right”… later on, and her “snark” is literally just rude comments because telling people they’re stupid in the blandest terms ever and interrupting her own uncle who literally suffered through years of imprisonment and torture for her brother is both incredibly rude and a display of her complete lack of leadership skills (don’t get me started on cowering in the crypt and letting more vulnerable smallfolk be slaughtered before she gets talked into helping out or how she constantly takes credit for other peoples’ accomplishments and gets pissy when someone rightfully identifies that she didn’t do anything and when someone does try to be nice and tell her she did something she is, uh, rude. Or how her version of ‘ruling’ is encouraging the lords to be discontented and disobedient to their sovereign and occasionally looking like she does some counting and tells armorers how to do their own job and only actually talks about issues that affect other people when it’s a convenient but weak rhetorical device to deny hospitality to her sovereign who has come to save her butt) and after all that she spitefully throws in this assumption that Bran can’t have kids which was unasked for and unproven. I’ve probably ranted about how Bran should go have 200 bastards (and legitimize all of them) in revenge for Sansa’s comment which would also create Westeros’s biggest succession crisis. Oh and then she demands that she get to be a queen which is all very well and good since the North won’t exist anymore in about two days. That’s all it’ll take for Tormund to invade from the north and Yara from the west and she has no friends or support since she’s made such a big thing out of being a jerk to literally everyone and Bran’s response would probably be “Well hey sis you wanted your independence so why should I send my troops and food to help you, the queen of your independent northern kingdom? You made it pretty clear you hated it when Daenerys sacrificed her mission and her men and supplies to save northern butts before. I just assumed you would understand that this is what your version of independence results in.” 

Sorry I just needed to get all that off my chest.

I may or may not choose to address the topic in my own post-s8 rage reaction fic but I do know of one such fic that’s in progress: 

Add Color to My Sunset Sky by my buddy @lady-reed

Sometimes I just ignore anon hate because theres a proverb I learnt in a Nigerian movie that said. ‘You cannot run naked after a mad man in the street after he has taken your clothes away from you because the public will not know who is the mad person between the two of you’

Kishi never intended on NarHin. Ever.

“でも別に二人の恋愛話に僕はあまり思い入れがなくて（笑）、その話を描くつもりはなかったんです。” - Kishimoto “But I didn’t really have any devotion about the love story of the two-Naruto and Hinata- (lol). I didn’t plan to write this story.” - Kishimoto

Also:

“So the idea of a [NH] love story wasn’t my idea at the start, however Pierrot staff suggested the movie to revolve around it (hence the final product being the way it is).” - Kishimoto

…..

HERE, LET ME FUCKING BOLD THIS FOR YOU IN CASE YOU MISSED IT.

“But I didn’t really have any devotion about the love story of the two-Naruto and Hinata- (lol). I didn’t plan to write this story.” - Kishimoto

“Pierrot staff suggested the movie to revolve around it” - Kishimoto

Kishi never intended on NarHin. It was purely SPs idea. No wonder everyone was so OOC and completely unrecognizable. Hilarious.
