The Funny Thing Is I, Personally, Am Definitely Not That Old. The Same, However, Cannot Be Said About

Acceptance, cookies, bro love. What else one can wish for? Especially since at least one of them I can make come true without relaying on fate at all!

2021 looks bright!!!

It is truly sad that the whatever-we-are-with-Scar-with-benefits isn't an option 😞 I frankly do not much care abt the fine people who had bagged us as a hero of their story, but Scar's lil club is a bit much even so. If there was a possibility of us clashing on a biweekly basis, then utilising passionate distraction technique and parting once one of us gets what they want (aside from the other kind of booty) it would be great!

he's trying his best to convince us to join his silly little crime gang (it's not working)

I was looking for a specific post going through the tags in the archive and opened this one because I really hoped Tim was to explain Pokémon to Ras Al Ghul 😁

Please imagine Tim Drake attempting to explain Pokémon Go to an increasingly exasperated Bruce who is just Not Getting It

"empowering women by sending katy perry to space for 2 minutes" shut the fuck up. samantha cristoforetti was the first female commander of the international space station and she became an astronaut because of star trek. and there is a real chance she is a kirk/spock shipper

Cue to me realizing only now that as a kid I’ve mixed up pergament (animal skins) and papyrus (plant stems) and since then have been assuming that’s that. Therefore, my issue has always been that papyrus I have tried making as a kid was a shit surface to write on and fell apart easily (duh) so why on Earth no-one ever complained about that? To be fair, as a kid I knew of papyrus because of Egypt, and I’ve never questioned why people in UK used Egyptian (for me) stuff.

I don't think about Harry Potter all that much these days but sometimes I just randomly remember that these kids were writing on parchment. Like I know they have an aesthetic but WHY are these children writing their essays on ANIMAL SKINS in this day and age. It just isn't practical. At least go with old-timey paper or something.

While I do agree, it really is conditional. You have to remember that our society at large and the separate pockets of it in particular are still not only homophobic but often simply... unaware of the gay option existing (yeah, it mostly concerns kids and really sheltered youth. still). I personally was introduced to the idea of gay ship when I had a really "groundbreaking" and "original" idea of a fic where Harry was a girl and (*gasp*) Draco fell for him. This was the turning point where I was introduced to the amount of non-gb fics with the pairing and realized that if I wanted more, those were the ones to go to. (It's also my main argument for why Drarry really, really works.)

Genderbend used for making gay ships into het ones is not the nicest thing out there, but it has its uses - and at least these fics are a good proof of there being gay chemistry that is obvious even to het-only people ;)

If you genderbend only 1 character in a gay ship to make it straight, I will be squaring up with you when we meet in hell.

Well, people on here are more likely to like a gay ship more. Plus, and this is a purely subjective opinion, but I do not like femRover's design, at all. She's just far too naked for me. The third point is less subjective, more speculative: I find it highly likely that Scar's actions just do not seem as aggressive when directed at a man. I can easily see how the same scenes with a female may be more unsettling for irl females than the opposite.

I love Scarover i just wish I saw art of female rover with scar as well. They are the same fucking person! Its Hsr all over again got damnit!

Dracula!

Kiss or kill

To be fair, he IS an Uchiha. What else is he supposed to make if not a scene? Pottery? That spot's filled, I'm afraid.

oh how Obito likes to make a scene

you just didn't have to do it, honey. you didn't have to if you didn't want to deal with him anymore. oh, you just wanted to show off in front of your man and be like "look it's me, will you find out it's me?" well fuck he will. as you wish.

Valid point, and now that it has been made it's ridiculous to even consider thinking otherwise. It's also one of the most hilarious things about Madara I've ever read and each word is better than the last. It's hard to be thoughtful when you are doubled over with laughter.

So I have an issue with common fandom interpretations of Hashirama and Madara. (Not together, but it applies to Hashimada too) Whenever I see Hashirama in the context of a relationship or the bedroom, he’s always either superderp or supertop. Whenever I see Madara, he’s either the smoothest dude ever or just ultra dominant.

Let me tell you something.

Madara is the man who turned Hashirama into a meme because he’s so incapable of articulating himself that when he saw his old friend and enemy he just decided to scream “HASHIRAMAAA” at him. This is the guy who can’t pee if someone looks at him while he’s doing it. This dude somehow managed to fail to convince his own clan, who he was presumably the leader and most powerful member of, to leave Konoha and ended up getting booted out.

By his own clan.

He failed charisma checks to get Hokage even when his friend and the only Hokage to exist at that point wanted him to be Hokage, and he failed so badly not one Uchiha joined him when he stormed out.

He self destructed partly because he can’t figure out that children are kind of important to have, because he saw them as brats running around his ankles. We see him with no personal bonds other than his siblings (primarily the one brother he had during his time with Hashirama) and Hashirama, and while he does manipulate quite well, it’s with violence and controlling circumstances. When he gets to ramble he sounds like a crazy old man.

He literally could not convince his own best friend to see things his way and he was one of the ones who founded the village in the first place.

Meanwhile, Hashirama became Hokage, founded and grew a village, forged the first peace between the nations, and had a wife and children. He convinced thousands of people, even those who were his enemies, to see things his way. He swayed Sasuke at least some small amount.

He had presence. He demanded respect and admiration from those around him, and even slapped down Tobirama. We’re also shown him manipulating and generally messing with people socially, not by heavily traumatizing them into a broken mess and picking up the pieces.

My point is, almost certainly, the smooth frick of the pair is Hashirama. He might also be derp, he might or might not be super top, but Hashirama is the dude to look out for. One does not successfully create a (temporary but also lasting) peace and village structure out of chaos and war without being wily.

Madara, on the other hand, is savage, a little feral, and insanely laser focused. And ultimately ended up being manipulated by a plant, like every other Uchiha ever. So. Madara probably uses his chopsticks by gripping them with his fist, stabbing through the plate, and lighting anything on fire that refuses to be skewered.

His mating call is probably just to scream at the person he’s interested in.

I’m just saying.

There’s no indicator that he’s a smooth operator anywhere ever.

Ever.
