Sorry For Disappearing, I Read Edna O'brien's The Country Girls And Remembered Why I Hate Men And Cried

it’s funny how it was meaningful to Satoru to remember the day they realized that Shoko and Utahime were dating

do you ship nanami x gojo. i think they have a lot of appeal

I honestly never thought much about them until I saw this drawing by the lovely and talented IPostMySimpingStuffAnonymously made me see the light. That particularly drawing actually lives rent-free in my head, tbh.

I feel like they'd be silly like KuroFai from Tsubasa. Kento is like Kurogane but not visibly angry all the time, while Gojo teases/gets on Kento's nerves like Fai.

Like, I don't think I'm the only one who can imagine NanaGo being ridiculous like this? I hope?

Imagine this but NanaGo. What a time to be alive. I only posted the funny panels because to me, NanaGo at its best is a ship rooted in humor. I'll stop rambling now lol.

It’s me again, your biggest spammer atp lmao.

One of the reasons I love your stories so much is because you write relationships, romantic or otherwise, so beautifully. I loved your depiction of Aoba and Anko’s friendship in On a Distant Star - their bond transcends the usual human connection. That’s very rare to find, especially in a male-female friendship in writing.

It’s glorious to read about the messiness and complexity of interpersonal relationships in all their twisty beauty - especially when done by an author who knows the ins and outs of humanity. You can make a reader love even the most random background character who’s appeared for, what, a page? Their idiosyncrasies, their flaws, and their passions all shine through in your writing.

Not to mention that I LOVE your rarepairs. As for Raidō and Kurenai??? Hoooo boi I never thought I’d ship it more than her and Asuma 😂 (seeing the three of them and how they interacted in Storms, being so beautifully in character, was a treat. I wanna ramble more because there is SO MUCH). I didn’t even know sai/tenten existed until I discovered one of your fics and that sent me down a rabbit hole asw ahshshshs.

I’m so sorry for the long-winded essay I just wrote you 😂 I’m running on three hours of sleep and am jet-lagged as fuck. Not to mention I had to sit at my laptop for the better part of a day and hammer out two assignments due on the same day. So I apologise for any lack of clarity herein.

Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day! ☺️

Ah, it's not spam! I have Tumblr because I know readers sometimes feel more comfortable connecting here rather than leaving a kudos or comment.

I think I'm kind of a boring writer. My best stories don't have a lot in terms of plot, and mostly I just write what I want to read because I like so many rare pairs. I think we all want to feel a deep connection, platonic or romantic, and for some characters, like Aoba and Anko, I think them being very close friends makes more sense than a traditional romantic entanglement.

I think you're giving me too much credit lol I have just read a lot of books and seen messy people in action. I feel like I abuse the man versus self trope all the time, but that's what I'm really interested in, is how we lie to ourselves and betray ourselves to our own detriment. And the background characters are easier because there's more room to play around with them, and potential readers aren't invested in them the same was as they are with popular characters. Writing Kakashi puts my stomach in knots, but characters like Asuma and Raidou are easy peasy, because I know enough to make guesses and can be creative.

LOL Raidou and Kurenai only started because I thought it was lame for Kakashi and Asuma to be her two options. Raidou was just cute enough and you could see the leap between him to Asuma. LOL I'm never getting away from Storms. It's a mess in a lot of ways and there are things I would change, but from some of the comments I also feel like the people who needed to read it found it, so it stays. I just think that Lovesickness will be better, and a fuller picture of what could've happened.

I will maintain, until my dying day, that Sai and Tenten aren't a huge leap at all lol.

I don't mind the essays! And I definitely know what it means to be jetlagged and a student. I most certainly do not miss either. Thank you so much for reading and leaving such a sweet comment, take care!

(And find time away from you computer, learn from my mistakes and save your eyes and posture lol).

A new dispatch from heterosexual hell: Lovesickness (Naruto, Older Jounin, E.)

hi, idk if you dig this ship (geto and utahime) but if you do, I'm hoping that you might draw them, romantically maybe haha. I hope that's not asking for too much, There's so little fanworks about them 😞

Just for you! I like how Antioedipus writes them so I went for something more agressive hehe

A quick Shizune meme bc a woman who breathes out poison fogs and parallels fucking Kabuto cannot be anything other than unhinged

Original under the cut

This is so pretty and perfect I want to throw up

Raidou/Kurenai commission ✨

they're so me

Kamo Noritoshi looks like the lovechild of Getohime. I can't explain it properly, but it has been on my mind for quite a while.

The ages don't line up but Kamo certainly has the potential for crazy that both Geto and Utahime have.

If I recall correctly, he's very concerned about being a good son and loves his mom. I could see a GetoHime kid carrying that similar burden, even though Geto and Utahime aren't members of some weird clan. I feel like if GetoHime babysat him as young adults people would give them the side eye I'd sometimes get when I was a teenager with my younger cousins.

I included the gifs for evidence but alas, they aren't perfect and the only one we have of Kid Kamo is him CRYING. But yeah, GetoHime would for sure get some weird looks from busy bodies making snap judgements.
