#please read though

YEARS of being self destructively painfully IN LOVE with mike just for.......... that....?????

"I dont like girls. the guy i had a crush on was my tammy."

Season two. trusting him when he couldn't trust ANYBODY else

season three. rain fight.

season four. THE HUG. THE PAINTING. THE FUCKING PAINTING?? THE MONOLOGUE??? I'LL NEED YOU MIKE AND I ALWAYS WILL. WHEN YOURE DIFFERENT YOU FEEL LIKE A MISTAKE.

season 5. How did you know with vickie how did you know she wanted to date

??? HELLO??? A "CRUSH"????? Robin was not childhood friends, fighting monsters, sharing secrets, and painstakingly IN LOVE with tammy for over at least 3-4 years. Her tape was by herself. Will's tape was almost all him and mike

I just like. i dont understand. why would they do this they had a perfect set up in vol 1 to do so much and they just. didnt. I really like how they settled the stoncy love triangle, i REALLY do, and they did decent with rovickie and really good with lumax and just. threw byler out the window?

Noah said most of his scenes were with finn?? finn saying the van scene will pay off? did they just,,,, lie? are they gonna cram it in the finale? i just don't see it

By now I think the least they can do is break off mileven. If i was a mileve i'd be as mad as i am now, like, arent they the main couple? they had almost no screen time and kali sorta kinda hates his guts 😭😭

I just really dont see how they're gonna tie this up satisfyingly. like at all. idk duffers could you please put more thought in your queer rep

All i have to say though is that the actors did phenomenal. I loved robin's expressions in the coming out scene, she sees herself in him and she's so damn proud. Holly's actor? Literally so good. Same with max. Even the 12 kids, Kali, that one soldier hopper beat up that i cant remember, and oh my god dustin did so good. So good.

Joining the Naruto Tumblr community as a multi shipper (of SNS & SS) has been a very eye opening experience for me. As someone who ships SNS more than I do SS I originally thought entering the SNS side of Tumblr would be the better choice. I was so wrong. Most (not all, there are some really sweet respectful members) of NaruSasu community are for lack of a better word, mean. Mean and seemingly bitter. It doesn’t help that most of them either hate Sakura or hate canon Sakura, claiming that they love her but they don’t really love her. Of course myself and many other Sakura fans around the web know she isn’t perfect. None of the characters are. Could she had been written better? Of course she could’ve! All of the female characters were victims of Kishimoto’s inability to write women. But for you to belittle her, make her seem less than she is, accuse her of being abusive to her daughter when she stayed by her bedside for so long that she fell asleep or when she couldn’t stand to see tears in her eyes,

to say she’s no longer a powerful kunoichi because she dared to put on an apron. Even Kushina wore a damn apron come on people. She’s just a housewife now? Do you truly believe the number one med nin in the world sits on her ass knitting all day? Hell no. When people say things like this please do not let them fool you into thinking they love Sakura. They don’t love her. They just love what they think she could’ve been in their image.

Making her and Sasuke’s bond seem small and insignificant is also a common trend. Even if you aren’t a fan of their romantic relationship, they do have a bond. Sasuke cares for he knows she cares for him, (take the latest episode of Sasuke Shinden for example, when Sasuke was told that he had people who loved and protected him the faces of Naruto and Sakura appeared in his mind.)

And Sakura has been in love with Sasuke since her selfish crush fell away and she realized she needed him to be happy. Why does it seem like whichever way I turn in the SNS fandom no one seems to be able to acknowledge this. Let me tell you, I cry tears of joy when I find a NaruSasu shipper who acknowledges Sasuke and Sakura’s bond it’s so refreshing.

Maybe Sasuke didn’t treat her well, but you know who else he treated like shit? Naruto and everybody else in the series. This post focuses on SNS shippers because that’s the fandom I was in, that’s the ship I love more than air because their bond is so strong and they love each other so much. But it’s not just the SNS fandom. NaruSaku, SasuKarin, SasuHina (I won’t even start on them) and even some NaruHina shippers are guilty of this as well. This isn’t to say SS Tumblr is pure and holy but Jesus Christ the hate doesn’t even compare.

You don’t have to like canon. You don’t even have to respect it. But don’t slander others for enjoying it. Did I like the canon ending? No, I really didn’t. It was messy, there were tons of plot holes, and I wish it would’ve been open ended or at least better explained. Do I like NaruHina? Not really, The Last was messy and rushed but Naruto has a family and I’m quite happy about that.

Many of my friends who are NaruSasu shippers have asked me why I ship SasuSaku. There is no one living in the Narutoverse who loves Sasuke more than Naruto and Sakura do, he would definitely end up with one of them. Of course I wanted SNS to be endgame. It’s my OTP after all, but I knew it wasn’t going to happen, a Shounen manga with a traditional Japanese man behind the scenes…nah. It took Japan until 2016 to have a canon gay couple at the center of a non yaoi anime (shoutout to Yuri On Ice.) So when SasuSaku became canon I was OK with that. I’d always loved Sakura and I knew for a fact she would love Sasuke unconditionally. With this new canon ship in mind I went back and reread the manga, and I saw how much Sasuke truly cared for Sakura. It wasn’t romantic of course they were 12 but it was there. I saw it, therefore gaining a new appreciation for the ship that I hadn’t had the first time around.

When I see the hardcore evidence of his feelings in the manga panels with my own two eyes it makes me wonder whenever I see a post along the lines of “Sasuke doesn’t care about Sakura. Never has, never will. He’ll be miserable for the rest of his life.” I have to stop and wonder, have these people even read the manga? Did they watch the same anime I did? How can you miss the clear feelings of concern he felt when she was in trouble, the praise he gave her whenever she did something he felt was particularly helpful, the way he didn’t fight her when she embraced him (knowing full well Sasuke has never been one for physical contact.)

I’m going to end this rant with this, (rant…heh I meant for this to be maybe a paragraph long¿) Canon is canon, if you plan to continue watching the anime / reading the manga this is something you’ll have to accept. I know it may be disappointing that your ship, whatever it may be isn’t endgame. But open your mind to other options, or feel the way you feel and don’t pull other people into it, and please let go of being bitter.

@all multi shippers: Join the twitter community, it’s much kinder to us.

no its like the greatest book ever written i expect you to read literature i’m shocked when you DONT READ

WHY DON’T YOU READ

YOU ACTUALLY BREAK MY HEART

DO YOU KNOW HOW GOOD BOOKS ARE

ITS LIKE TV

I don't really know if I'd call this a semi-hiatus, but I thought I'd make a brief announcement.

In less than a week, I start my finals for my first semester of University.  This is actually very important to me for several reasons.  I do set high standards for myself, but I'm also hoping to participate in sorority recruitment this January.  For this to happen, I absolutely need at 2.8 GPA minimum.  And some houses have higher requirements so I'm hoping it's better than that.  

Due to this, I am currently not accepting anymore starters.  If you'd like to send me one, feel free.  I'll draft it to reply to after my finals are over.  Because of this, I'll continue to reblog memes and such.  I just won't start anything for the next two weeks.  I will also be setting up my queue each night to post during the day, just to keep my blog active and such. 

My inbox is open for conversations though and random asks if they're about me.  But anything relating to my muse will have to be drafted for the time being.  Any threads I currently have open, I will continue.  I don't have too many, so I don't feel that it will be a problem.  Most of these will be replied to during study breaks or at night when I'm done studying for the day.

I hope you all understand and thanks for reading this!

Do you wish to make the most out of interpersonal relationships? There is a very simple way of doing so. Try your darnedest to understand other people and why they may think what they think.

Sometimes people may say things you don't like. This is a dilemma that is much easier to deal with when you're talking to a stranger, because obviously "I don't know this person. I will likely never see them again, so it's not worth my time to get upset."

It's much more difficult when such a thing occurs with a person who is an active part of your everyday life. Sometimes you may feel an urge to correct them or lash out. Sometimes you might just let it stew which will become resentment. These are bad things to happen, but don't feel ashamed of this if it does. After all, it happens to all of us. Many people tend to be naturally defensive.

To those of you who may be reading and recognize that you have faced this dilemma before, allow me to challenge you. Next time someone you know says something you may not like, try waiting and listening to where the conversation goes. It's a definite possibility that the very next thing they are about to say will clarify any doubts you might have initially had. If they don't, it is also a possibility that they simply worded what they wished to say in a way that they didn't necessarily mean. In that case, ask them to clarify.

If you are the one speaking, however, all I ask is that you be mindful of who your audience is. Everyone has had their own life experiences which can shape how they will respond to what you might say. In addition, understand that even if your words make sense to you as you think them up, be mindful of how they could be misinterpreted. If someone asks you to clarify, attempt to do so respectfully in a way that hopefully cannot be misinterpreted.

If someone immediately lashes out at you or questions you before you feel you've made your point, try not to get too upset. Even if someone has wronged you, do them the courtesy of asking them what their concerns with your statement are. Be patient to compensate for those who are not. As cliche as the phrase is, an eye for an eye makes the world go blind.

I'm not perfect, far from it. But I have some demons that I know I need to face up to. I would like to apologize. Not singling anyone out, but giving a general apology in it's own entirety.
