"You're just deceiving yourself."

@historias-multorum

Shizune balled her hands into tight fits. The words of her master's own grandfather, not only stung but deeply penatrated to her heart. The one thing she was trying so hard to avoid. Years and years of running and hiding from it; the truth...

She wanted to believe, to have hope!

Maybe one day she'll be worthy of the legendary Sannin!

Someday she will be able to be strong!

She tried so so hard! Was it really all for nothing?

"So...What?" She seethed.

"SO WHAT HUH?! SO WHAT IF IT'S ALL FOR NOTHING?!" Her eyes started to burn a bit as she was holding back tears. "THIS IS MY LIFE! MY DECISION TO MAKE! IF I WANT TO LIE TO MYSELF THEN I'M GOING DO THAT!" She shouted at the first hokage. "AND YOU-! YOU JUST-! BUTT OUT!"

He took a step back, careful. Not because he was afraid, but because he respected her pain.

"Shizune, that bonsai is gone. It's been gone for at least ten years. You've been watering something that can't return. But that doesn't mean your effort was meaningless. Just because it can't grow doesn't mean you can't grow. And it doesn't mean you can't become everything you want to be."

Reina stares in his general direction for a few moments. A perplexed look spreading across her face. "I don't think I know who you are." she states, with her blue eyes staring at him intently. She knows most of the voices from Konoha but, she's not sure if she knows the person behind this one. Odd.

Her hand stills just as she is about to raise the sake bottle to her lips.

Bloodshot honey eyes turn toward the voice.

Dan.

She shakes her head.

Blinks.

Her vision finally clears.

No.

Not him.

Never him again.

Shizune.

His niece.

His—

She looks away again.

Hurting.

Bitter.

She raises the bottle to her lips.

Drains it.

Sets it back on the table.

The sound of porcelain meeting wood is soft.

And yet...

Deafening in the silence that has settled around them.

What was Shizune to her?

She does not know.

The world thought Shizune to be her apprentice.

Dan had hoped Tsunade would become a mother figure to his niece.

Tsunade knew better though, didn’t she?

Shizune was a constant reminder of all the ways Tsunade had failed.

A grown woman. Dependent on a child. For survival. For company. For—

“Go back to bed, Shizune,” she whispers, bitterly.

"Mr. Edgeworth... I need to know, are the stories true? Did you really win your first case at age 20? Everybody calls me a prodigy, but I only won my first at age 22.... I wonder how you were able to succeed at such a young age."

🌈 ― Aesthetically pleasing blog.

I always thought @tenebriism had a really nice aesthetic - their banners are beautiful, as is their header - of course, the aesthetics is only one of many great things about their blog.

⭐️ ― Convincing portrayal of a canon character.

@historias-multorum always does an amazing job but particular shout-out to their Hinata - just as adorable and endearing as in the show.

💻 ― Excellent writing.

Admittedly, haven't had a chance to write with them but someone whose writing always catches my eye would be @cursedfortune - I just think they're a really engaging and great writer.

🌼 ― Creative headcanons.

@fairymint - always a joy to read their headcanons and to see what Felix is up to.

🎙️ ― Great to talk to.

@hymns-across-the-stars - We've played Roblox a bit together, they're a fun mun and genuinely chill. Like them a lot.

📚 ― Nice threads to read.

@lastflowerpetal - of course it's even nicer to be writing with them but I love how they write Aerith and seeing her interact with and meet other characters.

@phntasmgoria - just an all around sweetheart and someone I genuinely need to hang out with more. Can't say enough good things about them.

@grimmjxw-jaegerjaquez - I see them on the dash pretty often and have even talked to them a bit - it's fun getting to learn a bit more about Bleach through their muses. They seem genuinely nice.

🏆 ― 10/10 blog, would recommend.

i am super super biased and find my favorite ships to be the ones i've actually written, and the one i've written the most is sakura/sasuke with my friend mari. <3 but i'd say if i ignored the connections i've made through rp, my favorite ships for sasuke are tied between sakura/sasuke, naruto/sasuke, and sakura/naruto/sasuke.
