Please Be Nice To Me, I'm In My Twenties. Do You Know What That Does To A Person

I think I need a special column “in every uncertain situation draw [semi-]naked Kakashi” 🙈

I’m not sure how that will help my art block in the long run, but I just suddenly sat down and produced that in a single day 😳

Also I don’t claim anatomical accuracy - at this point I don’t care anymore, as long as I feel comfortable 🙈

Wanna see him with fewer clothes on? 🤭 it’s here.

rb this with ur opinion on this shade of pink:

I'm looking back at random things I was taught as a kid by various adults and media and. did nobody bother to factcheck anything? was that just not an option or

no shade but wanting to fuck anime characters is weird even if youre good looking

no offense but i don’t give a fuck!!!!! kakashi can hit it raw!!!!

Can't get over Kakashi's deep sadness and heartbreak when he found Naruto after his fight with Sasuke He had to mourn yet another team 😢💔

Tumblr telling me I can give gifts to blogs I love as if I'm not right in the middle of reporting and blocking their bot ass like ajshatfav

kakashi hands.

I've been seeing comments and tags like this since forever and I really don't understand where people are getting this idea from!.

This is the same Kakashi who has been cliff climbing with one hand tied behind his back since he was 4 years old

The same Kakashi who was doing push ups with One Finger with 2 people sitting on his back while he was recovering from chakra Depletion and other injuries

The same Kakashi who was training in his hospital bed instead of resting with the IV still connected to him

The same Kakashi who was wielding the Executioner Blade with one hand an entire day with ease, fighting the 7 swordsmen of The mist like a friggin' boss

That same giant blade that requires insane strength to be able to hold

Zabuza himself was holding that blade with 2 hands

There's a reason Might Guy chose Kakashi specifically to be his eternal rival, because he's the only one who can actually keep up with him.

It's like people has stopped watching/reading Naruto since forever and now all they know about it is from the fanfictions they read, like the canon never even happened!!.

Part 2

appreciation post to kakashi as sukea

One of the things that’s really struck me while rereading the Lord of the Rings–knowing much more about Tolkien than I did the last time I read it–is how individual a story it is.

We tend to think of it as a genre story now, I think–because it’s so good, and so unprecedented, that Tolkien accidentally inspired a whole new fantasy culture, which is kind of hilarious. Wanting to “write like Tolkien,” I think, is generally seen as “writing an Epic Fantasy Universe with invented races and geography and history and languages, world-saving quests and dragons and kings.” But… But…

Here’s the thing. I don’t think those elements are at all what make The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings so good. Because I’m realizing, as I did not realize when I was a kid, that Tolkien didn’t use those elements because they’re somehow inherently better than other things. He used them purely because they were what he liked and what he knew.

The Shire exists because he was an Englishman who partially grew up in, and loved, the British countryside, and Hobbits are born out of his very English, very traditionalist values. Tom Bombadil was one of his kids’ toys that he had already invented stories about and then incorporated into Middle-Earth. He wrote about elves and dwarves because he knew elves and dwarves from the old literature/mythology that he’d made his career. The Rohirrim are an expression of the ancient cultures he studied. There are a half-dozen invented languages in Middle-Earth because he was a linguist. The themes of war and loss and corruption were important to him, and were things he knew intimately, because of the point in history during which he lived; and all the morality of the stories, the grace and humility and hope-in-despair, was an expression of his Catholic faith. 

J. R. R. Tolkien created an incredible, beautiful, unparalleled world not specifically by writing about elves and dwarves and linguistics, but by embracing all of his strengths and loves and all the things he best understood, and writing about them with all of his skill and talent. The fact that those things happened to be elves and dwarves and linguistics is what makes Middle-Earth Middle-Earth; but it is not what makes Middle-Earth good.

What makes it good is that every element that went into it was an element J. R. R. Tolkien knew and loved and understood. He brought it out of his scholarship and hobbies and life experience and ideals, and he wrote the story no one else could have written… And did it so well that other people have been trying to write it ever since.

So… I think, if we really want to write like Tolkien (as I do), we shouldn’t specifically be trying to write like linguists, or historical experts, or veterans, or or or… We should try to write like people who’ve gathered all their favorite and most important things together, and are playing with the stuff those things are made of just for the joy of it. We need to write like ourselves.
