i am doubtful that you've found her Compelling enough to really have strong onions about but i'd love to hear your thoughts on Sakura for the ask game anyway!
hiii synnie!!! don't get me wrong here i find sakura incredibly compelling i just also find her incredibly intimidating. i don't really understand her but i do have probably misguided opinions about her!!!!
first impression: mildly indignant on her behalf for all of the atrocities she has to suffer through by nature of being a heroine in naruto
impression now: i love her very badly but i have a hard time wrapping my head around her. she's fascinating on like, so many levels, but the narrative has a very hard time exploring literally anything it brings up about her. it wants her to be normal but she is literally so weird. she should be allowed to kill people. she wants to be self-sufficient but unfortunately that will never happen because the narrative just fucking hates her. so badly. she has a second personality that just gets dropped after the first half of the series. she's just so. there's so much going on there.
favorite thing about that character: i do not actually mind that sakura is a medic. it does fit her. is it annoying in the grand scheme of "all women are medics?" yes. but sakura specifically hitting that balance between violence and healing is very interesting to me.
least favorite thing: the hororrrrs let her out!!!!! every time a "perv on sakura" gag comes up i have to punch a wall it's literally not her fault but good lord!!!! set her free!!!!!!!
favorite line/scene: i really like when she decides to poison everyone and then go kill sasuke on her own it's absolutely deranged behavior. i actually just love everything about that section she's so completely unhinged the entire time and it's like played as romance on her part?? which like yeah i guess. but hear me out that wasn't very normal behavior of her.
favorite interaction that character has with another: i love her dynamic with naruto they bite each other... i like that she's allowed to be feral and kick him around like he is a chew toy. especially when sasuke's gone and the two of them descend into almost perfectly parallel despair alkdsaglfd they're so funny to me... when kakashi like. says his name. and then both of them fall to the ground in tears. that was the good stuff.
character that I wish that character would interact with more: god i WISH sakura/kakashi parallels were like. intentional or elaborated on. they're the people who are left behind. like not only would it be so nice to see sakura get some actual training from that guy i'd also love to see them just INTERACT!!!! least existent inner team seven duo dynamic i would kill to see more canon interactions between them.
character from another fandom that reminds me of that character: kam flower that bloomed nowhere. it's the morals that seem kind of normal until you examine them and realize that they are deranged. and the desperate scramble to be the Normal Sane Girl.
headcanon about that character: her parents die during the orochimaru/suna invasion and she never tells anyone because she just can't find the right way to do it. that'd be awakaaaard plus the rest of them already don't have parents what are they gonna do??? throw her a party?? she also doesn't really see herself as an orphan or believe that she needs sympathy or aid because she's an adult when they die (12. but allowed to kill people!!!)
song that reminds of that character: that's why i gave up on music by yorushika
unpopular opinion about that character: that she's a person?? that she's just a human and not like, evil??? that she's an interesting character underneath the terrible writing? sakura opinions are WILD i went into her tag once and it scarred me for life people will just be saying shit about her... the narrative hates her so so badly for the sin of being a women and she can't even get it to lay off in fanon. tragic. and there's another flavor of depiction that "fixes" her that i ALSO hate because like,,, making her a girlboss/fujoshi/braincell haver is also not great. in terms of hashtag feminism. that is not a interesting character that is a cardboard cut out..... sighs.
favorite image:
really like early sakura she was always making excellent faces and showing her teeth.

i will defend that fictional teenage girl with my life. i literally don’t even care what she did. you would’ve done it too if you were her she’s probably handling things better than you would in her shoes

some fandom disagreements are like "I see your point but I think this other aspect of the narrative is more significant," and some are like "I don't think you can read."

theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents
common examples of normalize loving parents posting:
- support women who shave their legs and wear makeup every day
- let's hear it for masculine men
- reminder that two people of the same gender can have a close platonic relationship!! not everything is gay!!
- skinny shaming is hurtful too guys
- does anyone else think [ironic kink du jour] is strange and freaky and gross?
