Like say what u want but also remember it was 2010. The "ur gay" was a joke that would ostricized you in that time period.

If there's even a whiff of genuine same sex pairing in the show, that shit is cancelled. Reminder that Steven Universe's gay wedding episode came out in like 2018 and the show got cancelled bc of that. 2018.

After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.

“I like your shoelaces.”

Oh. Oh no.

I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president…and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”

The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”

Yeah. Me neither. Not until today.

And then I went to the USAmerican Midwest

Rains frequently, but the worst is like standing under a bathroom shower. Genuinely inhospitable rainstorms are uncommon.

Along the coast, it's pretty easy in most areas to walk to at least one store, or else there's usually a bus or shuttle available. There are sidewalks and bike lanes everywhere.

It's a temperate boreal rainforest, so while there are many freshwater lakes and rivers, they're usually pretty cold. The biggest danger is typically getting caught in a strong current, and the most dangerous animals in swimming distance are on land.

Earthquakes happen almost every day, but the vast majority go unnoticed. Buildings are designed to withstand bigger seismic activity, so unless it's a 5 or higher it just kind of feels like having low blood sugar for a second. There are no tornados

Rural Illinois, USA:

One minute it's sunny, then ten minutes later that distant smudge on the horizon has swallowed the entire sky in black clouds and the water is coming down like waterfall and you literally CANNOT SEE. Then there's a crash like cymbals and you need to get indoors because the thunder and lightening are on TOP of you

No sidewalks until you are in the smack dab center of town, which is a three hour walk or twenty minute drive from wherever you are.

There aren't many natural bodies of water other than small ponds and creeks, and because the environment is so much warmer, those are filled with snapping turtles that can grow bigger than a nine year old child and water snakes that are incredibly venomous. These are paired with leeches and mosquitos for that sweet umami flavor.

Tobirama washing Izuna's hair? When Madara already does it so well? (I think Izuna would be projecting and doesn't want to risk anyone ruining his precious hair (*bald nightmare intensifies*)

But the reverse...

Izuna may look mischievous, but it's just because he is so sure that his intense hair washing method he perfected on Madara-almost-unable-to-feel-pain's head will trouble his favourite Senju rival, but since Tobirama also has curls, it's actually rather effective, and he finds the pressure nice.

I have to make it clear, but the Uchiha bro, in my head, are very much attached to each other's hip, something that I don't really visualise with the Senju bro. I probably was a shock to Tobirama to see Izuna wailing, arms wrapped around Madara's middle when he decided to move with Hashirama, not because the two of them are together, but because he won't be able to sleep next to his Nii-san anymore.

I think Tobirama would see Izuna as childish and a brat just for how he clings to Madara. He respects him as an opponent, but his personality... ugh, he can't deal with it.

1) Figured this out.

“The family name ‘Murasame’ was given to me by my master. The given name ‘Tatsumasa’ is a combination of ‘dragon’ (tatsu), the [zodiac] year when I was born, and one character from my master’s name,” says Murasame."
