Video captions: And stop trying to show your ex what they missed out on! Stop trying to teach your family a lesson for not believing in you! Stop trying to shit on your haters! Do it for you! Do it because you deserve it! Do it for YOU! Water your dreams with love! Don’t put no hate and resentment, and try to — “oh Imma fucking show them, Imma show” — FUCK THEM! Fuck them, do it for you! They don’t matter! They NEVER mattered.

I got into SVSSS thinking either SQQ or Binghe was going to be my favorite…then this bastard showed up

Scrolled past this agakn and just can't get over how much I love it. We need to make things beautiful again and this is such a wonderful example. The beadwork on the wires of a utitarian object, contrasted with the grey concrete.

Nothing’s funnier to me than seeing my own posts when looking at “your tags” section.

Like. Yes, Tumblr, I am aware this is a hashtag Naruto post. I drew that.

oh dear. pour one out for @staff today folks

(for those of you who have been living under a rock since late 2019, automattic owns tumblr)

Ah so that’s why there wasn’t anything for April Fools

I really do quite like Minato. He is one of the craziest characters in the show except no one in cannon including Kishimoto realizes it. they all think he's sooo normal. this guy killed 5000 people in one day and then went home and made dinner for his beautiful wife and never thought about it again.

Would Minato politically assassinate and then ACTUALLY assassinate Danzou? Eventually, yeah probably, because Danzou would take it 'a step too far' for Minato to be comfortable with, probably with some plot involving his wife and/or child and/or Kakashi. Would Minato have any moral qualms about working with Orochimaru? Absolutely not. Not a single damn one.

Like the thing about Minato is. He is not A Normal Good Guy. He is the most successfully groomed child genius in the show. He is the ideal Hiruzen chased when he let ROOT be a thing in the first place. He's the most effective agent of the state in the show and that makes him, to many people, a god. He successfully indocrinates Kakashi and Kushina, two of the biggest security risks of the generation, into undying loyalty to konoha, and doesn't even realize he's doing that, he just loves them. he's just so naturally charasmatic. He's just never had a second thought about his country ever. Everyone trusts him and likes him and believes him when he says he's doing what's best. he thinks he's a good person. if you told him he wasn't allowed to do something he would actually LAUGH at you. He made himself into a living nightmare for entire countries in one night. He singlhandedly ended the war in doing so. He legitimantly thinks himself an advocate of peace and ignores the blood staining the bottom of his heavenly white coat. He blinks at you with his big ol baby blues in confusion as you demand justice for anything, and calmly explains it away. he's a genius. He DOES get mad at injustice, because he's a good person, obviously. He talks softly and carries a big stick. He loves his wife and his son so so so much and he wants nothing but the best for them, but he's selfish. He doesn't love them more then the village. He doesn't love them more then himself. He'd kill you for suggesting such a horrible thing about him, and so would Kushina. The absolute double think. I think Minato should read 1984.

Shang Qinghua POVs

Oops I forgot to post this !!! I was making some more misc early konoha ocs to fill the roster, pls take lady Shiranui and all her glory

I was gonna draw some other early konoha old ladies (specifically Haruka and the at the time Orochimaru, our Orochimaru's parent) for some early Konoha old lady gang content, but got distracted

So like, I'll just post lady Shiranui on her own instead!

The Shiranui are a long time Uchiha ally and were invited to Konoha through them. They're another noble shinobi clan, though at very small one. Still, their power isn't to be underestimated, as it's mostly in the form of political capital.

They've been in the Fire capital for generations now, and have many connections to the various noble houses

There are a few different shinobi clans who called the capital their home, but of them, the Shiranui are the most powerful— having had the trust and ear of several Daimyo.

They are often called the Daimyo's dogs by other clans for it, but really, aren't all shinobi clans? At least their ownership of the title grants them several privlages.

When they originally joined Konoha, it was with the express understanding that they'd act as the Daimyo's eyes and ears as the village was built.

Eventually of course, given the one or two generations that it took to get to modern Konoha, the Shiranui's loyalty was much more aligned towards their village— and their power in the capital was diminished by them moving bases. Not to mention, the shinobi wars certainly cut down their clan size

Lady Shiranui herself is a woman who delights in making others uncomfortable, and will readily use her comfort with her own body to do so. She's trained several high class geisha, and worked as one herself for a time in her youth.

She's actually Genma's great-grandmother, and had a very big influence on early Konoha fashion. She's the one behind the inexplicably horny ANBU outfits and apparently ANBU standard full body wax (which is hilarious to me and also canon in my book)

Anyways, final thoughts (from my fic notes):

maidens if you are going to flee dramatically from my castle in the middle of the night once i reveal my true nature to you please leave your candelabra on the little ledge by the portcullis we are running out of them

starting to think these maidens are stumbling in soaked through from the rain just to steal my beautiful gowns and homewear are any of you actually lost

At the checkout in Home Goods loading the belt with nothing but candelabras in all shapes & sizes while the cashier watches sympathetically and asks if it’s the maidens again

Dumping a box of candelabras I stole from that loser up on the enchanted castle. Passing by the makeover isle and picking another wig for my next run up there. You'd think he'd notice it's just one maiden repeatedly coming in soaked but I guess we all look the same if you only ever touch grass to re replenish your stolen home decor

Enemies to Even More Pathological Enemies
