Despite All Efforts, Sasuke Is Still The One Who Got Away In Naruto’s Mind But He Made Peace With That

Hannibal (TV Show) is Overrated

What’s sad was that I did like it for the first season but then I started to get annoyed with weird plot holes, character motivations, occasionally off putting music, bad acting and horrible dialogue. I binged it in three days with no spoilers. I watched it right after watching SOTL which in hindsight was a bad move because it created an expectation that was not matched at all. Something tells me that I won’t like the books either because the red dragon plot was boring as hell. 

The characters were okay but I thought Will was a better character than the character the show was named after. I know it’s different actors so different interpretations of the character Hannibal but he seemed really lack luster and a little repetitive with all that cooking nonsense and talking in riddles and metaphors. Don’t even get me started on Bedelia’s way of communication through breathy whispers of constant riddles that always sound like questions than statements. 

...

The one slightly hilarious thing about Bedelia was that she broke confidentiality to casually make a gay joke that only her and the viewers are in on. It was the only human thing she had ever done in the entirely of her character arc. 

I miss brocon Clive

He’s just not as dotting as I thought he would be in his adult years

Clive head pats

Clive head pats 🤍

I remember when I first saw this scene. My thought process was: dang he took his clothes off to only realize that he didn’t like what he saw and then told him to put his clothes back on :/

What ACTUALLY happened in that scene with Cid and Clive....

I wonder how much hate I’d get if I said that despite, all of the sns content I post or repost, I don’t actually ship them.

I noticed the change in Naruto’s behaviour towards Sasuke during Shippuden and rather than more earnestly be upset about it, I coped and made jokes on here about how Naruto’s feelings towards Sasuke derailed the character the potential Shippuden had.

MY BIGGEST ROMAN EMPIRE/QI DYNASTY THOUGH has to be Naruto x Sakura or NaruSaku. ALSO JUST SAKURA’s marriage.

I’ve never made a single post about it but I genuinely really warmed up to the ship early Shippuden because I thought Sakura developed a crush on Naruto and they had a better dynamic there.

I also really grown to adore Sakura so I love her as a character. I CANNOT stand how much Sasuke disrespects her in Shippuden thou. Holy shit I was so mad when he fake-killed her at the end of the war arc OMG. She’s already disrespected by the authour and fans, I just want her to have good things happen to her fully, not some half assed manner like her ending. I understand that the authour genuinely believes that his writing of female characters is acceptable, which is why he continues to write them that way and call it a happy ending but still.

She’s done so dirty everywhere, I just want her to have one genuine win with no strings attached.

I know she married the love of her life but she didn’t get what she wanted. She’s still seen by most people and in-universe characters as a lonely wife and “single” mother raising her child all by herself while her husband doesn’t contact her. She’s in a marriage where I don’t think she expected Sasuke to have some dumb ass plot barrier stopping him from coming back to the leaf when they initially got together. Of course, she loves him enough to deal with his absence but canon wise, she’s not happy about it but has to keep a brave face when questioned about it by Sasuke. Cuz that’s her character, she’s not going to complain about it, it’s out of his control (ugh). There are times where she’s clearly settled with her circumstances but LIKE AS A GENUINE FAN OF HER CHARACTER, I dont want that for her. It’s not a happy ending if she’s still lonely and never gets to see her man. For Christ sake, it was clear in the anime that she’s not even used to his touch because she hadn’t felt his touch in a decade by then. It’s so sad and I wanted better but the authour refuses because he believes it’s in character and makes sense for their relationship to still have barriers.

Like she will always accommodate for him but he just “can’t put in the same effort” and she might as well just deal with it with a smile on her face.

Like she’s so successful but she chose to marry a bum. Sure it might be true love but double standards much?

I understand that Sasuke is written a little bit like Jiraiya where he’s never at one place for too long and Sakura likes more serious personalities in her men (and I guess men who go against the grain?) but she prefers that kind of guy but also someone who is there for her. They’re just not compatible and it’s like upsetting to watch. Sakura can only enjoy half of her marriage because she only got half of what she wanted.

How does this connect back to Naruto x Sakura thou? Again I thought the feelings were mutual during Shippuden and was sad when they weren’t but for Naruto, he seems to at least like his wife.

Please be mindful that if her marriage isn’t written the way it is, I would not be complaining like this.

This is an old throwback to that one frame during their first final valley fight. The one the animators kept redrawing for some reason.

Anyway looking at Naruto’s expression, I can tell that all those years/episodes of putting his life/goals at the time on hold and most importantly the potential world building, plot, konoha 12 and almost everything part 1/classic Naruto set up hostage JUST so Naruto can chase his man was worth ALL the pain and hardships - that him and the viewers both endured over 15 years.

Despite some “opinions” that perhaps obsessing and chasing a guy who publicly was too proud to admit he was Naruto’s friend, may not had been worth the countless tears and blood shed, Naruto doesn’t give a fuck and clearly feels so giddy and euphoric - because at the end of the day, he mostly got what he wanted and that’s Sasuke with him.

Naruto’s new official art?!?!?

WOAH

I know I’m like a decade late to this but Sarada still does not look like either her parents. She still looks like a splitting image of Karin with black hair.

It’s just a bad design choice. Sure it’s humbling that the Sasuke Uchiha didn’t just have a daughter, but a daughter who’s a goody two-shoes tomboy nerd. Not tomboyish like Sakura but in a way where if teenage Sasuke met Sarada, he would think she’s lame/uninteresting.

I don’t know why but I always pegged Sasuke as someone who preferred having a son over a daughter. He’s just not a girl dad you know?

Kinda like how Itachi wanted a younger brother than sister. Women and female beings just aren’t important to Sasuke. Sasuke isn’t going to entertain playing dolls or decorating a room with pink and glitter. He’s a tough parent who is just too masculine for girly daughter father things. That’s probably why he’s just not included in her life outside of battle. Another reason why he struggled to connect with her outside of not being in her life.

I thought when they found his motive video, it would reveal that he lied about his talent too.

Confession: I find it wasn’t Angie or Ibuki with the biggest wastes of talents, but rather Kokichi. While music and art are subjective, leadership skills are NOT, yet Kokichi is explicitly standoffish and can barely get anyone to cooperate with him. I love Kokichi as a character but I wish they incorporated his talent into his personality more.
