That much sweetness should be illegal — I think I just developed type 2 diabetes, and he's leading the charge Here the link on @thisisfanon!

like the guys sitting around a safe house waiting for dawn to break to exfil and they're just talking about what they miss about home the most. they all say generic stuff, miss their beds, pets, family, whatever so when it's simon's turn they all assume it's food because he's talking about a specific little burger joint that, in their opinion, sounds like a hovel, but no one's ever thought simon has sane taste but then when kyle asks him what does he like off the menu the most his eyebrows furrow and he looks almost repulsed.

because he is.

"the food's bloody terrible. couldn't make me eat there even if it was the last place on earth."

The critically acclaimed West End production of “Macbeth,” starring David Tennant and Cush Jumbo, is getting a cinema release across the U.K., U.S., Australia and other select international territories.

 In an exclusive first clip of the filmed version — which was shot during the play’s run at the Donmar Warehouse last year — Tennant and Jumbo passionately perform Act 1, Scene 7, where they conspire to kill Duncan, the King of Scotland, so Macbeth can take the throne. Watch the clip above.

“Macbeth” will screen in cinemas beginning Feb. 5, 2025 from Trafalgar Releasing in partnership with Donmar Warehouse. Tickets will go on sale starting Oct. 16 at MacbethDonmarCinema.com.

Its so beautiful and works everytime.

It makes me think thats something they used to do as kids. Hold eachother hands and spin eachother around until they get dizzy and fall onto the grass laughing breathlessly together🥹

Bc like, instead of Naru being at the orphanage and then put in an apartment to fend for herself, she's hidden away, placed in a room in the Hokage tower that is only accessed from the Hokage's office, where she lives on her own

To start she has a nanny, sealed into secrecy a la root (but not root), but then when she's four the Sandaime removes her (bc she wanted to leave, and, well, this is the Sandaime we're talking about) and Naru is lonelier, since the Sandaime visits her only rarely (he is busy - he forgets), and so she has to make do with books and her imagination (and the voice she sometimes hears in her head, that grows stronger, that RAGES at being caged)

(Be thankful that food can always be found in her kitchen, some sealing bullshit I wager)

And then when she's old enough to join the academy, she remains, bc the Sandaime fears that people would see her face (she looks too much like her parents) and the fragile peace Konoha has been able to forge, where they can remember the Yondaime fondly but forget, for a while, how it ended, would END

And while he loves her (he doesn't, but he fools himself), he loves the village more, so she stays locked up

But he can't have her weak, so he supplements her books with new books on ninja arts and, once in a while when he remembers too, he coaches her himself

He debates on getting a new person involved, someone who could teach her more regularly, keep better tabs on her progress, but never goes for it, always too fearful

The time comes that her age group graduates, and she remains locked up, it would be too strange for everyone if she's set free now, he thinks. Better to keep her close

And then the chunin exam happens. The invasion happens. And the Sandaime dies - but Naru remains locked and, now, no one knows

(Jiraiya knew that she'd been locked up at first. He just assumed she was released, as they'd planned, to enter the academy. And, well, he tries his hardest never to think of her anyway. It hurts too much)

And either we could have a Kakashi situation who actually goes for the Hokage seat so that he can find out what happened to his sensei's child

OR newly minted chunin Shikamaru, who is roped into being Tsunade's assistant/secretary after the Sasuke retrieval left him more injured than in canon, so that he has to rehab a bunch to get back into the field, finds whatever mechanism is used to access Naru's rooms

Fascinated by what the akatsuki would be up to if they fully thought the nine tails was actually dead bc of Minato. Or do they know and are just like oh the jailer is hidden.

And holy shit???

Without Naruto how the hell is Tsunade coming back?

Her ass didn’t do it for Jiraiya that’s for sure.

So maybe kakashi rly does have to do this. Or maybe she comes back bc Jiraiya is like “I can’t fucking find her” in the aftermath of the hokages death and she can’t force herself to leave him to that grief alone

So Kakashi is tearing shit up looking.

Shika finds the mechanism in the office.

NARUTO HEARING ALL THE MISSION REPORTS THROUGH THE WALLS AND KNOWING EVERYTHING

the other walls are sealed for privacy. The area used to get to her? Not so much. That’s sealed so no sound gets out.

Maybe she has favorites based on their reports. She doesn’t have friends but she has that at least.

Ragatha: *hands him retirement flowers*

Gangle: Gives him a hand drawn card with the cast being friends

Zooble: Telling him to take care of himself

Jax: Slaps him on the back, but leaves a note with a silly doodle of him on his back

Pomni: Walks him out the exit door and gives him a hug

Kinger: ??? I'm not sure what's going on, but thanks 😊 ???

Cast: *Tries not to sob*
