The urge to write that akatsuki missing-nin obkkrn fic but I don't know how to redeem them (happy ending or nothing!!) without it sounding dumb because both Rin and Kakashi are alive here so Obito doesn't even have a tangible reason to become missing in the first place...
Obito still being a missing-nin would actually be perfectly doable even if you remove his canon circumstances and motivations that brought him down that road in the first place.
I don't personally consider it necessary for a missing-nin to have been some kind of criminal to be declared as one, some of them were disillusioned with their village and choose to leave, while others left due to the political climate.
Of course, missing-nin then are forced by the system to be criminals or at least to operate outside the law if they want to survive harsher conditions and the lack of support, so.
I personally would have a few reasons for Obito to be a missing-nin without Madara's or Zetsu's manipulation/interference:
- he doesn't need to go back to Konoha post Kannabi at all, figures out the mission itself was sabotaged (something I deeply believe in) to happen the way it did, and decides to do something about it out of the public eye. Eventually he either tells his former teammates he's alive, or they figure it out themselves.
- he intervenes in time to prevent Rin's suicide, is brought back to Konoha, and is then a first row spectator to the abysmal treatment Kakashi gets (due to the eye swap), how Rin's choice is seen as the height of loyalty instead of completely fucked up, how neither of them is allowed the proper time to heal and rest before they're sent on missions again. So he either proceeds to build his 'Tobi' persona to fix the problem from the inside, and eventually allies with Akatsuki, while 'Obito' remains a loyal shinobi, or he straight-up leaves. Maybe he tells Kakashi and Rin, hoping one of them might decide to come with him, and maybe it happens, but he doesn't stay in Konoha.
I don't even think they need to be Konoha shinobi to get their happy ending.
Just look at the whole Itachi situation.
@joozina i mean,,, do i really make it worse, or do i just give them character development?
Make it worse
I want to crush Endou into tiny little pieces just because it will crush every one of his teammates too :D
Hey on an unrelated note who would read a story about Endou and Tenma both getting kidnapped as kids, featuring protective big brother Endou, adorable but slightly feral tiny Tenma, and torture? Asking for a friend
Protective siblings and all but Tenma , feral as he is, is just always staring into the soul of someone that just dared to look at his brother funny
Its literally this meme
Actually the dynamic goes both ways! Endou is all sunshine and daisies until somebody looks at Tenma wrong, and Tenma is all puppy eyes and smiles until somebody tries to separate him from Endou!
Sniff this is beautiful
I have so many ideas now (hypothetically, of course).
Endou, reuniting with his friends after not seeing them for years but he's distracted bc he's looking for tiny Tenma: oh hey guys
Everybody else losing their absolute freaking minds: Endou?? Endou-san!! CAPTAIN?!
Endou, spotting a suspicious mop of brown hair through a window (tiny Tenma is too short to be spotted through the window): oh bye guys
*Later, having reunited with Tenma and his team*
Kidou: who's the kid
Endou: my adoptive little brother who got kidnapped too
Aki: my missing cousin
Tsunami: one of the kids I taught soccer in Okinawa
Gouenji: I think I shot a soccer ball at him once
Kidou: ...yeah okay I can see why he got kidnapped
*Years later, GO season 1*
Shinsuke: That's Endou Mamoru!! Captain of the Inazuma Japan and Raimon ten years ago!!
Kirino: Didn't he get kidnapped for like two years
Kurama: I don't know if I trust him as our coach
Tenma: I promise Mamoru is gonna be a great coach!
Kirino: Wait how do you know him
Tenma: Oh I met him when I got kidnapped too
Kirino: Wait what
Tenma: Yeah I was like three tho so I don't really remember it (haha I'm definitely not traumatized)
What if it's a newly formed, AR-style fifth sector that kidnaps them?
Like. 5th goes around kidnapping a bunch of people- all of them are somewhat good at soccer, but Endou is the only pro- and a couple more as 'leverage' to make the others comply.
The reason is to 'create' the right training regime for those who will eventually be called 'Seeds', and to discover other ways to use the energy of Hissatsu.
(Endou awakens his Keishin- one of the first in history- and that's how him and Tenma escape)

i think we should bring this back (with some amendments ofc) if we ever needed an "internet etiquette" for the younger generations, now is the moment to remind them. purity culture kills fandom
as well as the three laws of fandom:
Don't Like, Don't Read (DL;DR), Your Kink is not My Kink And That's OK (YKINMKATO) and Ship and Let Ship
📣 Purity culture kills fandom! 📣
NO ONE LIVING hasn't been squicked out by something. There's over 7 billion of us, my delights and disgusts aren't universal. So I move on. Don't like the ship? Move on. Don't like____? Move on.
I am not an exception. Neither are you. I don't like it I move on and shut my gob about it because everyone everywhere is squicked out by something and they need to put the thing down and just…motor.

GenAI v. not GenAI round up.
So you can avoid them stealing things from you, the artist/writer, etc.
Pro GenAI websites/Programs:
X/Twitter (Remember, Grok gives people cancer)
Threads
Pro Writing Aid
Grammarly
Duolingo
Google Docs
Microsoft Word/all Microsoft products Takes from and will feed their machine.
Youtube (taking advantage of people who are hearing impaired. ==;;)
Adobe Products. All of them. If you HAVE to use them (Some businesses require it), save offline because there is a film of at least some privacy protections there, so if you have to sue, you can say it violates US privacy law. Remember, contracts do not circumvent US law.
Corel won't feed the machines, but still uses AI stolen from other artists. Which sucks since Corel Draw is the second best overall for vector programs. (Plus I love Painter, but I bought the offline version to avoid AI). (Canadian company)
Canva Takes and feeds their machine.
Deviant Art Not only supports AI, but put a tool in and said they are going to steal your work if you like it or not for their machine.
Sketchup went Pro-GenAI. The thing is that you can do the same thing in Blender these days with precise measurements.
Autodesk has stated they are Pro-Gen AI here. It is not clear if they will use your models to feed their machine. But be on guard. They make Maya and 3Dmax. You can replace it with Blender.
Neutral ground:
Tumblr (there is a way to opt out [Link] and they don't have an active AI machine.) https://www.tumblr.com/dookins/743519550598987776/heres-how-to-disable-third-parties-like-ai
Etsy allows GenAI, but still has some (minor) restrictions. I'd still be cautious. (Also be cautious of drop shippers). Complaints about too much AI and AI images+patterns made by Ai still exist on the website. They lean slightly more pro-AI, but still won't let it run completely amok, say like Facebook. They won't feed your work into a machine, but also don't ban it through robots.txt.
Bluesky They don't use an AI algorithm except for in the "Discover" section of their website, but while they are anti-GenAI strongly, they don't seem to block the Gen AI bots from entry, so you'd still have to use Nightshade or Glaze (links below). There is no opt-out because they don't need an opt out. (Leaning towards strong position on AI, but I wish they would block GenAI bots).
Searxng- If you super want to screw over Google, in general, and have some tech savvy, you can set up your own search engine through searxng. It's easier on Windows and Linux than it is on a Mac. (Mac you need Docker), but if you're determined on privacy, Searxng adds a layer of privacy. Some of it sometimes uses bits of AI, but most of it doesn't and you can fuss with the settings so it doesn't spit out AI results. At sheer minimum Google will stop spitting out weird videos on Youtube at you because in your private browsing, you searched for the origin of ball bearings while not logged in for a book and Google likes to break privacy laws.
Strong positions against AI:
Scrivener (Creator vowed against AI) Writing program. There is an active forum, and versions for Mac, Linux and PC. It is paid, but at ~60 USD, it's cheaper than most programs. There is usually a holiday sale around Christmas. It has a learning curve, but with an active forum with the programmer of it there to ask obscure questions it's not a dead zone. They often take suggestions and implement them over time. (Especially if you rank the importance, applications, etc) US company.
LibreOffice Open source and free Spreadsheet and Word processor program that can replace Microsoft Word. Some people might have seen older versions where it was called Neo Office (now extinct) and Open Office. LibreOffice is still populated, plus the forums are super helpful if you get stuck. The UX is pretty intuitive if you've used Microsoft Word. Scrivener, BTW, supports exporting to odt (the native file) as well as .doc, and this can open both. The slight thing is that sometimes it doesn't export to .doc smoothly. And I DO wish more magazines, and agent (big clue here) supported .odt files since it is free. Part of the reason .odt isn't as supported is because Microsoft and Adobe have a deal with the devil with each other, so Adobe's Book formatting program InDesign doesn't support ODT. (BTW, if you have a good open source replacement for InDesign that supports ODT, let me know.)
Dabble (as suggested by SF stories, see reblog) is a writing program. Similar to Scrivener. Has vowed against AI and to resist it. 108 dollars a year for Basic. It is almost twice the price of Scrivener who lets you update for fairly cheap. 29 dollars a month, v. 59 dollars for the whole program (Scrivener) for the same features of Premium. You choose.
yWriter is a free Writing program and like Scrivener, and has vowed against AI Last I looked it had some UX issues, but some people swear by it. The learning curve is higher than Scrivener which is saying something.
Ellipsus is an online writing program and vowed against AI. The main feature I like (which Scrivener doesn't have) is the ability to change spellcheck based on region/language. It is a requested feature of Scrivener, but lower priority. So if you have a Brit, you can get the spelling for the character. They are a British-based company.
Cara.app (The creator of the website sued GenAI there is no chance they'll convert) is an artist website. Cara is trying to institute an auto Glaze/Nightshade into the website if given enough funds. People see it as a soft replacement for deviant art. (which went fully AI) If you believe in human art, please donate if you can. Zhang Jingna, the Creator,is Chinese-Singporean. She lives in Singapore.
Clip Studio Paint added AI, but saw the light and decided to protect artists instead because of protest and removed it. There are tutorials and a good forum if you get super stuck. Based in Japan, so the UI and UX is really clean.
Davinci Resolve Pro is a film editing software that's super good. There is a free version and a paid version. The forums are responsive. The programmers aren't always present. There is a healthy group of tutorials. US company. Clean UX. It does take a little bit of time to remember the shortcuts.
Tahoma2D is anti-AI and open source animation program. Takes a little getting used to, but is good for animations and doesn't crash as often as Animate. Programmers are in the forums and some bugs are fixed within hours. The forums are super responsive and helpful.
Krita open source and free, no AI. I'd rank it secondary to Clip Studio Paint (which is paid) I haven't tried the forums, but it's pretty intuitive and can stand for a lower level replacement for Painter, and do a lot of the basics of Photoshop. It's usually ranked higher than the equally open source Gimp.
Writer P AKA Writer+ (app for when you're on the go) is a simple word processor app for your phone that doesn't use AI. The original programmer stopped updating, so Writer+ person took over and isn't out to make a profit since it's free in the spirit of the original app. It has subfolders you can use. Since it was programmed before GenAI it doesn't have AI. Intuitive, easy to use. Fairly easy to upload the files through three dots->share. The files can save to your card or phone with some settings fussing. Simple word processor.
Inkscape is a free vector program and no AI. It is harder to use than illustrator and has less features. But if you're doing smaller vectors for one-offs with less complexity, it'll do you after some learning curve. Best of the lot. I hate Affinity Designer which is the same thing, only paid. (Neither Affinity program was worth the money paid)
Affinity (Designer, etc) swore to be AI-free and does Vector and Photos. The UX is messy, I dislike the program and regret paying for it. Inkscape and Krita are better UX and do the same thing. The forums aren't as friendly since there has been an onslaught of people seeing it's supposed to be a replacement for Photoshop and Illustrator, but the programmers aren't present. The people on the forums are often on edge about this assertion. And the capabilities of the program don't outshine basically Krita or Inkscape capabilities (both free). What is usually intuitive is not. UK company. If you're going to pay for a program, go for Clip Studio Paint which rivals Corel Painter.
Blender is a 3D art program and does not use GenAI. It can do 2D animation, but Tahoma is easier to use in this regard. It's open source and free. Plus there are plenty of tutorials. The forums can be touch and go sometimes, but there are plenty of sub Blender communities that might be responsive. It can also do animation.
Handmade vowed against AI and promised to never sell itself for stock prices to prevent AI (as a replacement for Etsy.)
Discover a world of creativity and craftsmanship through Handmade, an innovative platform connecting passionate artisans with discerning buy
Proton (to replace Google Suite) as suggested by SF Stories (see reblog) Vowed against AI. They are missing a spreadsheet, but have online and offline capabilities, plus a built-in VPN.
But you need a pro website...
Look up robots.txt and AI bots: https://www.cyberciti.biz/web-developer/block-openai-bard-bing-ai-crawler-bots-using-robots-txt-file/

The thing is you think you doing it alone will do nothing, but the more AI feeds on itself, AI images, the worse they become, and the less detailed so, denying it the images, adding poison or not being able to read the human text is eventually going to lead to an AI collapse.
Analysis shows that indiscriminately training generative artificial intelligence on real and generated content, usually done by scrapi
And why not help that along?
I don't want to give cancer to poor people [Link] or make the planet burn faster [Link]. So GenAI collapse is everything I dream of. GenAI apocalypse is not.
You can add Procreate to the anti AI list. They have vowed time and time again when people ask that they will not use AI in their software.
We are not adding generative AI to our apps. Here's why.
Will also add that elllipsus has options for sharing work with Betas and getting comments in-line wjth the text, a lot like google docs does.
I know a lot of writers stick to gdocs for thaf specific feature but you dont have to!
Pillowfort (@pillowfort-social) is anti-GenAI, pro-sex workers and actually queer friendly socmed.
For those who cant use Glaze or Nightshade either because their computer wont run it or the marbling these programmes cause effects their art too much there is Artshield
Protect your art from AI.
from their site - ArtShield adds a watermark to your images so they're camouflaged to robot scrapers. This watermark is invisible to the human eye. ArtShield uses the same watermark as AI image generators, so that they can be recognized by the robots.
"if Jax is a trans woman she's still an abuser so she's bad representation so the show is transphobic" you're an idiot. you want your blorbos to be perfect ideal angels, I want my blorbos to be realistic, nuanced, flawed human beings, we are not the same. I LIKE that she's messy and fucked up and problematic, I think it's a realistic depiction of how a lot of repressed and traumatized trans women are. I think the show goes to great lengths to explore how and why she is the way she is, and to evoke sympathy for this kind of person. it doesn't excuse her actions but it does make them understandable. and I think the fact women like that deserve sympathy is an idea worth stating and worth shouting. yes she's a bully and she hurt everyone around her and that may never change. she still deserves sympathy.

Highschool AU outsider POV fic where it's clear to the audience that kkob are flirting and going on dates and sneaking around together but the narrator is like fully convinced Kakashi is bullying Obito.
Rin got into some kind of accident over summer break that left her hospitalized and the rumor mill says it was Kakashi's fault or that Kakashi attacked her, so he's got his "friend-killer" reputation even though Rin is still perfectly fine, she's just being home-schooled for the year to help minimize the risks of any complications while she finishes healing, and to free up her time for physical therapy and stuff.
So people think Kakashi is a monster and he's not defending himself because he's absolutely riddled with guilt and Obito does get into a couple fights with people about it but due to misunderstandings it seems like he's fighting people over talking about Rin and not about assuming that Kakashi hurt her, which means the optics of the whole situation boil down to "Kakashi tried to kill Obito's best friend and now he's harassing Obito"
Idk who the pov character should be. Obviously not Guy, who still considers Kakashi his Eternal Rival. Not teacher Minato. Asuma? Kurenai? Hell maybe a rotating cast of povs between all the various jounin and the very wrong conclusions they're all coming to.
Anyway it all comes to a head when Kakashi and Obito are caught like making out in a supply closet or something and somebody's like oh my god Kakashi you've sunk so low I can't believe you're sexually assaulting him were you really going to attack him right here at school you monster and Obito, who has spent months working through Kakashi's mountain of issues about intimacy to get him comfortable with kissing him, is just like "god I wish"
