I think Kakashi would be fine with a vegan/vegetarian s/o. I can see him enjoying the food, and most of it is healthy and he strikes me as a health nut.

More logistically, it depends, if the s/o does the majority of the cooking, then obviously he'd adapt to eating mostly vegetarian food and only eat meat if he's cooking for himself or if he eats out. If the s/o wants a more equal split, then he'll cook vegetarian meals etc on his days but I don't think he'd switch to completely cooking 100% vegetarian food for all of his time. They'd enjoy cooking together too!

The only time I see it being an issue is if a) the s/o expects him to assume all cooking responsibilities

b) adopt to their values

i'm so sorry, i think i saw this ask briefly when i was checking my phone during my trip, then promptly forgot all about it till I just saw the '1' in my inbox and was like hmm? whats that?? and THEN I REMEMBERED!

anyway! im not gonna write a fic, sorry if thats what you wanted, but that just isn't on the cards at the moment. So I don't really know what you want me to do with this beyond talking about it a little 😭 i'ma ramble and hope for the best.

Yamato definitely seems one for sensual, romantic, intimate sex more than anything else tbh, so I see honeymoon sex as the absolute epitome of that for him. Just filled with so much love and passion for his s/o. The first two ideas that came to me were:

a) sex on the beach. or, because, that's not very romantic in practice, sex at maybe a beach house or something? or after a night time walk alongside the beach (seriously nights by the beach are the most sexy times i swear). but maybe not sex on the literal beach cuz who wants sand in your orifices. not me.

b) ryokan! maybe the honeymoon is at an onsen. And just yeah you both are wearing yukatas and on futons and things get a little heated and it's very down to earth and very, very lovely. maybe a monkey steals your clothes. idk.

But yeah, I feel like the sex is slow, very slow, but lengthy and passionate. He'll be a little more... autonomous? Is that the right word? I just mean that he'll be a bit more zealous, a bit less being led along by his s-o, taking the lead? a bit? more than he does usually, but I just mean that generally, when the sex isnt super intimate or romantic, he tends to just get swept along by whatever his s/o wants. If that makes sense, lmao. I don't mean that he's necessarily a sub, he's just not the most... active guy in the world. But this is one of those instances where he really wants to show you what you mean to him, what this means to him, how happy he is to be married to you and how much he wants to give you an amazing time as opposed to having an amazing time together.

so yamato's thing is making you feel safe and protected whilst realising your own autonomy and independence at the same time? both inside and outside of the bedroom. Like he'll be there for you but you'll never have your own wants or needs compromised. That can be bad cuz it means he won't tell you about hsi wants or needs in the same way, and you might realise too late if you've been selfish. cuz, tbh, there will be times where you *should* have to compromise your wants in a marriage, but yamato'll try to avoid that for your sake to his own detriment.

some slightly more explicit hcs:

i feel like yamato is as sturdy as a literal tree and i feel like he would last for a hella long time... with the caveat that it's much harder when you're on top

he makes nice noises <3 they're deep and guttural.

FOR SURE ANON AAHHHHH

kakashi meeting his newborn son is my favourite thing to write/imagine. i've probably written that scene *SO* many times but i'm just unable to be satisfied with whatever i come up with but i am gonna do more with it. Without giving too much away for the last ignominy instalment, that's essentially a big part of the third/final chapter. kakashi being a father and meeting his son and all the love and angst and being reminded of his own father that that entails. I just didn't know whether I should write it as part of that or a separate one-shot because it feels more self-indulgent and less canon-compliant because i wanted to minimise anything approaching OC or SI with Ignominy, but I decided to go ahead cuz I think it would make the story full circle and complete it in the best way, and I already decided it'll be part of that but i might do a longer thing on it one day.

ANYWAY he absolutely loves his son right away, so much more than he ever thought he was capable, and he's so scared to be so consumed by that so instantly and so entirely, and that something so small and so vulnerable and innocent is now in his care, and that he helped *create* this tiny thing? i honestly think he'd have trouble holding the baby right away. he'd really need a gently encouraging and understanding s/o. it's just so overwhelming. He's always doubting whether he's 'good enough' for anything good, he just really sees himself as never deserving this kind fo thing... Just being a man that's taken so many lives to help bring something pure like a child into the world, and to have people he cares about depend on him? And then if it's a son there's also the father/son drama and what kind of man this baby boy will become and whether Kakashi thinks of himself as a good enough model for him whilst also comparing himself to his own father. It's easier to die to protect a random civilian lmao than have a family, have people to worry about and worrying about him in turn. There's just so much going on, so many emotions that are just gonna be so intense and conflicting.

Hello!!

Thank you so much for the question!! Lemme attempt to think this through

But man, this is a tough one. Because Kakashi is so loyal to his home and doing the right thing, but that 'not letting your loved ones die' has been beaten into him through trauma and survivor's guilt and everything else, and this situation is those two things coming into conflict very intensely.

TLDR: if the s/o is now a villain, he probably would. In other circumstances, I don’t think he could, not without throwing his own life away in the process.

More rambles under the cut:

Omg yes thank you so much @jazzi-fizz I had a feeling that if anyone would ask it’d be him first but ok ok ok I'm so sorry in advance if I ramble but you ask about this man it's kinda is what it is

Kakashi Hatake

favorite thing about them

Oooh one thing? This is really hard. What attracted me most to him as a character is his humility and his strength in his stoicism, his quiet will to endure if that makes sense? Man’s been through hell of a lot but he just carries on for the sake of those around him and has more mental fortitude than he’s given credit for and he's wise for his age but he can also be chill and sometimes dorky and I like his well-roundedness, I guess. He is a good person even if he comes off differently, and he can’t see how good he is, and that makes me love him 😭 I like how his low-key nature is belied by something deeper. He has like, the kind of masculine traits that are more low-key and overlooked but I find super attractive.

least favorite thing about them

He has a tendency to... passivity, I guess? I guess it’s the lackadaisical part of his personality, the part of him that’s just happy to... just die and fade away into nothing and just see himself as how useful he can be to those around him? He doesn’t live for himself too much in any meaningful way, and it’s always kinda sad to watch. Like, on one level his self-sacrificial nature can be admirable and on another it's sad.

favorite line

He has so many good ones omg. I love the lessons he instils into the kids when they're little? He says something to Sakura after the Rock Lee/Gaara fight that;s like, there are times when condolences are crueler or something like that. Like, deep, bro. I know he was quoting someone else but i also loved the line he gave where he said 'to know what is right and to ignore it is the act of a coward'. That one's probably my favourite.

BUT, I wanna mention, one that's popping into my head right now is the one at the end of the Land of Waves arc, Naruto looks away from Zabuza's body and Kakashi says something like 'when you live your life as a warrior, this is how it ends.' Idk, it had an impact on me even as a kid, it just brought a lot of gravity to the situation and Idk, the kind of respect he'd had from someone he'd been fighting to kill for the whole arc and it's just one that got me thinking about men and soldiers and war. Like, I used to be obsessed with WW1 literature and it kinda harkened back to that, I guess.

brOTP

Kakashi and Gai, obviously. I really loved their dynamic and friendship for so long before coming to tumblr tbh, where I kinda fell out of love with it (I just felt that both these characters are so much more than the other character but they just got reduced to that), but I’m appreciating it again. 

OTP

This is a cliche answer but none. I really don’t have any for him. He just doesn’t have any characters that I see him having romantic chemistry with - I don’t approach ships like most people, so I’m not super excitable or imaginative about ships to begin with, like, there are some I like and dislike, but I really don’t get invested in the idea of them unless they’re a huge part of the show itself, and that’s never been really why I enjoyed Naruto and Kakashi just doesn't have that with any characters for me. So, because i don't really have an answer, I'll tell you who I can see him being compatible with - he actually would work really well with Shizune, they'd balance and complete each other in a lot of ways, and he'd be good with Mei Terumi too, because you know, sexy man, sexy woman, power couple, both Kages, she has this understated badass feminine energy and Kakashi has this lowkey subtle badass masculine energy so I like that. His personality complements Iruka quite well too, he'd be compatible with him I think. The kind of bond he has with Obito is easier to reimagine romantically than it is with some of his other ships too.

NOTP

I really don’t like any of his ships 😂  the student ships are particularly indigestible to me, and specifically during my teens I really hated Kakash x Sakura (it’s still probably my least favourite one, but no offense to any followers of mine who ship it), but like... I love Kakashi and Gai as a brotp, but I really don’t get KakaGai in a non-platonic sense, I really don’t (I'm sorry, I feel like that’s sacrilege on this website, and tbh that;s probably what’s emboldened my... confusion? of it).

random headcanon

Everyone says Kakashi is a dog person, and he is, but he is an animal person! He really likes being in nature and around animals in general, more than people. He would never turn his nose up at a cat and he'll watch some birds out of his window when he's half-asleep in the morning. I dont see him as a huge plant person but he's also got a hell of a green thumb, he probably just has one plant that he loves, but i like to think he has an appreciation and deep understanding of nature.

unpopular opinion

Lol I am the queen of unpopular opinions and I have a lot when it comes to Kakashi. Firstly, he’s not nearly as weak or as passive as a lot of the fandom would have you believe. Idk maybe fans want to make him more relatable and project onto him but they make fanon Kakashi a lot less functional and competent than he is in canon? He’s not defined by his depression or ptsd either. I think people on here feminise him far too much too (just something I’ve noticed, particularly with shippers. To me it’s a clear case of fan projection. Which is valid, but not what I get out of a show. Also, kinda unrelated but tumblr has this thing where they make established badass male characters into ‘uwu soft boys’ and I’m kinda allergic to it lmao)

Also, this is probably only unpopular on tumblr, but I'ma say it, I’ve always just had typical straight guy vibes from this man? Obviously people can see him how they want and I don’t really want to contest with anyone’s headcanons, but i’m someone that just goes by the source material, so when I see the idea of Kakashi with a woman being met with a lot of hostility and derision, it... confuses me a little. 

song i associate with them

Oh, lots, but at the moment it’s a tie between What a catch, Donnie by Fall out Boy and Please, Please Let Me Get What I want by The Smiths

favorite picture of them

It's so hard to pick one oh my god. There are so many good fanarts that depict him well, this is one of my favourite ones though. They depict his vibe and Kishimoto's art style so well.

In terms of from the series, again, so much, but i'm a sucker for the first time we see Kakashi's hair wet and I'm also a sucker for Kishimoto's manga art.

Sorry I went on for so long! It's lowkey dangerous asking me about Kakashi lmao I saw this just before I went to bed and I couldn't stop myself.

Anyway, I'm still happy to do these for other characters!

You know how after Kakashi and Naruto became Hokage, they were called Rokudaime and Nanadaime even by people who knew them on a first name basis. Now I know hierarchy, formality and respect are very important in Asian culture (being Asian myself) so would this same concept extend to their spouses?

Like if Kakashi got married, would his spouse have to call him Rokudaime-sama too?

Ah, so the short answer is no, you most definitely wouldn’t. I think people using formal and extremely respectful honorifics like -Sama with their spouse would be considered extremely unusual. It might even be considered rude and detached, like you hate your husband or are *so* distant or below him that you can’t call him by his name. Another thing I just thought of - at home, it’s much more common to call people in your household or family by their role in the family. Like what’s common in Japanese culture is once a married couple becomes parents, the couple stop addressing each other by their name and start calling them ‘Otou-san’/‘Okaa-san’ even when their children aren’t there. My Japanese teacher told me she and her husband started addressing each other like that even before she had their baby. My point is, it’d be weird for Kakashi’s public and professional role to also carry over into the household.

I think people you know intimately would call you as they always have. And I think the call them on a first name basis thing in Naruto’s context doesn’t necessarily mean that they were close before and now they’re not, it’s just the fantasy world doesn’t lend itself well to the typical Japanese ‘referring to people by their last name’ thing. You’ll notice anime set in the real world or in school/work or quasi-school/work settings do that a lot, but not so much in fantasy worlds like Naruto. Because a lot of the character distinguishability is coming from their names. Like, If Naruto was set in a Japanese high school, they’d likely call each other by their last names as many other anime like that do.

My point is, the fact that people who called Kakashi and Naruto by their first names and then by their titles after they became Hokage doesn’t mean that they’re necessarily becoming much more formal with someone they were formerly close with. Acknowledging their new title and hierarchy probably is important, especially in a professional setting, and that’s probably why they do it (like how in Boruto Naruto had Boruto not call him dad when he was doing hokage business, and Kakashi told Boruto to call him Lord Sixth in front of the other genin), but I definitely don’t see this applying to someone Kakashi is involved with romantically, or his family or close friends.

I love your writing

Hey!

I'm not sure if you were expecting a fic or if you were just asking the question generally (the 'if you want to add nsfw' part made me unsure) but I'm not sure I have any inspiration to write a fic like this about Yamyams? I dont even have energy for my own wips right now lmao, so I think I'll just answer the question more generally if that's okay!! Feel free to clarify if I misunderstood.

But to answer your question, I would imagine so :O Like, spending so much time just the two of you together in a high stake situation over a period of months would be the prime context for developing feelings for each other 😂 like it's almost a given, especially if there was already even slight attraction between them. I still think Yamato's the kind of guy to develop his feelings slowly over time, though, and I don't necessary seeing him being bold or forthcoming with them either, unless he's sure the girl feels the same way. I don't see him necessarily 'making a move', if that makes sense. But there could be a tense moment, something that sends his or both of their emotions into overdrive etc that would lead to a confession... I just see him with an s/o that would be the bold one, at least at first. Like the girl might be the one to be open with her feelings first? Unless she tries to coax them out of him.

And as for sex, yeah it might take a while for Yams to build to that. It's difficult for him to be the overcome by passion/ 'I need to take you now' kind of guy (not saying he's incapable of it, I just don't see him really opting for that unless his partner is *more* than forthcoming and imploring from the get go, or he's known them a really long time). He suits the kind of person that'll gently coax him out of his shell and push him out of his comfort zone while still 'seeing' him and understanding him, so they might not rush into a sexual relationship - or at least, sex is totally possible, but I don't see him initiating it.

I wrote these a while ago, the first event I did actually, but these are hard to find in my blog so i thought I'd put them in their own separate post :)
