i fucking LOVE writing the dynamic between sasuke and kakashi like there is SO MUCH complication there!!!!!! the layers, bitch!!! the gay-on-gay violence!!!!!! they can barely say three nice words to each other, but each have each other in their 'top three most important people' lists. are they father-son???? do they hate each other?????? sasuke threatens to kill him every other week and kakashi hasn't looked at sasuke without judgement in two years but they also like to disassociate on the couch for hours together

Anyone else thinking of Team Taka family photo right now

*learning about breaking bonds in chemistry* *lowers head and whispers* sasuke……

it really makes me so sad to read the beginning of naruto and seeing sasuke’s thoughts and stuff because we don’t get that as much later in the series but in almost every fight sasuke is described to be panicking and shaking and freezing with fear he was just so little and so scared

in a similar vein sasuke is always thinking about protecting other people. he will put everyone’s safety over himself or the mission to the point that naruto gets irritated with him. and i think that’s one of the big differences for naruto and sasuke especially in the beginning sasuke is so scared of losing what he has and naruto has never experienced Loss yet in that way. he has never had something to lose in the beginning so their perspectives on these events are so different and that’s one of sasuke’s biggest frustrations with him in vote. their reactions are so fundamentally different in that way that yeah naruto loves his team and wants to protect them but doesn’t fear losing them in the same way and that makes their approaches so different. naruto understands sasuke only when he experiences loss in the same way
