My other blog, @moss-veins , is on hiatus right now due to something bad happening in my life. I don't have the mental or emotional energy to give my time to replying or writing posts right now. Only mindlessly scrolling through Tumblr to try to distract myself.
I don't want to half ass anything so I'm just going to take a break and return to it whenever the time comes that I feel okay again.
SS/NH/NRSK clowns be like : They are Brothers🤡🤡🤡

he was absolutely insane for this
thematically, what’s even more interesting are the pages that come before that which are:
it clearly shows sakura pining over sasuke and it’s very clearly very romantic. there isn’t any need to present sakura’s internal dialogue or anything - we just know she is in love and misses him.
everything is mirrored in naruto’s panels and it’s fascinating how all naruto is going through is presented as even more romantic because he watches the shooting star, clutches his heart, closes his eyes, and thinks about sasuke’s name.
additionally, whatever sakura feels for sasuke is pain (tears) whereas for naruto, it’s…almost hopeful. it makes him introspective (eyes closing). yes, it’s tinged with sadness, but not to the extent of what sakura feels and sasuke is portrayed as naruto’s strength (kakashi literally says this in the chapters before or after this lmao). for sakura, her (one-sided) love for him is a weakness.
reintroductions were probably hard
I rlly like the blue bird op :]

Using this post on everything forever this bullshit comes up so much 😭
I have this dream where you touch me like I'm precious to you
Melting Snow by Imabboy: The 2010 Doujinshi that Predicted the End of Naruto
This is easily my favorite SasuNaru doujinshi, tied with Freak by the same author, honestly, all of their work is top tier!! I feel like this one isn't talked about nearly enough and it is criminally underrated!!😭
Artist : 醸ここ/ (Twitter) monstercake2/ Imabboy
Pairing: SasukexNaruto
Published : 2010.10.10 (on Naruto’s birthday!!)
I’m only going to translate a few parts, specifically the bits that impressed me the most. It’s wild how they were able to predict the story way back in 2010!! They talk about how this is a 50 pages one-shot that tries to analyze and capture Naruto’s and Sasuke’s relationship through the series.
“…As for the motivation behind publishing this book... well, actually, it’s because =3= I know many people have grown more and more disheartened as the plot develops, losing hope for a “Grand Finale” happy ending. So, this book is a way to cheer up everyone who loves these characters. (laughs)
As for the Grand Finale... whatever ending Kishimoto draws, we as readers have to accept it. But after a work has been drawn for ten years, it doesn't just belong to the creator anymore; it contains the youthful dreams of so, so many people.
So, at least until that day arrives, I hope to wait with a heart that believes in miracles—…”
“Severe winter will eventually pass the tips of the branches. Hey, but speaking of which, the war is about to start again soon. Maybe by the time this book reaches your hands, those two will have already made up and teamed up to fight the boss (laughs).
Anyway, if this brought you any joy or moved you, I would be beyond grateful.
See you next time~ (waves hand)
— 2010.10.10 (Naruto’s Birthday, wow!)”
They literally apologized for Kishimoto using his own logic!!😭 Both Kishi and Oda have mentioned that their stories belong to the fans now, and this dj called it years ago. I’ve lost the exact source for the quote, but the parallel is definitely there!!!
They ALSO predicted that the war would lead to an ultimate villain, forcing Naruto and Sasuke to team up and take them down together.
Imabboy also perfectly captured Naruto as the romantically naive type. We saw this play out exactly in the series finale when Sasuke questioned what Naruto really meant by “friend” (the same happened to Sarada in Boruto!!), and Naruto couldn't quite label the intensity of that feeling. It’s the same struggle we saw in The Last, where he famously couldn't distinguish between different kinds of love. This dj understood his emotional complexity years before it became canon!!! It is quite insane to me honestly the level of understanding the author shows!!!!
Okay, but here’s the thing!!! They even drew Naruto and Sasuke reconciling by holding hands, mirroring the exact iconic imagery from the manga’s finale.
From chapter 233 and 699.
AND get this, the doujinshi was published on Naruto’s birthday (Oct 10th), just like how the final chapters of the series take place on his 17th birthday. The level of foresight is actually terrifying!!😭
Wait, it gets even better!! The entire theme of this doujinshi was practically mirrored in Naruto Shippuden Ending 20, “By My Side” realized in 2012. The focus on them always being by each other's side, reaching through the darkness... it’s all there!!
Bonus
The reason Hidari’s colour is YELLOW.
Naruto was always Sasuke’s sun and light🤧
By the way my fave quote from the dj is:
“…THE MOUNTAIN IS CRYING.”
A sad masterpiece!!!!😭🤧
it makes me so sad to think abt itachi’s first appearance in the manga. sasuke’s desperate rush to find naruto wasn’t just abt revenge—it was pure fear. he was terrified itachi would kill the only person he had left.
it’s like he was back in that night. he wasn’t just running to fight his brother; he was trying to make sure he didn’t lose anyone else. naruto was already everything to him and he didn’t even know it.
and i literally feel like that’s gonna haunt him forever. the day he loses someone else —especially naruto— the massacre is just gonna start screaming in his head all over again.
i always wonder why it’s always pictured for naruto to act panicked/shy/freaked out when it comes to romance w sasuke because if anything he’s shown to be confident in his relationship with him. sure he acts flustered and weirded out around others sometimes when it comes to intimacy but with sasuke specifically, post vote 1 naruto is always straightforward and he never holds back. he might take time to figure out his feelings but he’s more emotionally intelligent people give him credit for and he’s always ready to tell sasuke what he feels even if it’s the most insane shit you will ever hear. even in the war arc he comes off as more cocky too
Sasuke being such a misunderstood character when they call him a psycho, but he has being canonically called gentle, kind and pure by the author.
The way Naruto was behaving about Sasuke and not being around Sasuke was legitimately crazy like thinking about him and crying about him and just losing it constantly and being in physical pain that Sasuke isn’t safe like Sasuke not being around made Naruto suicidal and the only thing keeping him going was the possibility of retrieving him but when he realizes he’s the only one who wants Sasuke back he FREAKS OUT and only clears his mind and his entire demeanor changes once he realizes he can just die with him………like bro….thats like…………completely insane….
The difference between how he was acting before and after they clashed again and he said he’ll bear the brunt of his hatred and die with Sasuke is night and day bro…he was so clear headed in comparison
That’s kind of the difference between Naruto going on a rescue mission for Gaara and going Kyuubei Mode after Hinata got flipped like a pancake by Pain. It’s like… sure he’s willing to go all out to save a friend and do almost anything it takes, but he’s literally deciding to die with someone who is technically perfectly fine and making his own decisions.(“how do you know what’s good for me??” “That’s my OPINIOOOON!!!”). Like obviously he was in a bad situation but no one else from Konoha believed Sasuke was worth saving :(
The other two were not being villainized by others and were on the “right side” so obviously if he can do something about it he’ll go save them but what does that have to do with dying with them so no one can kill them before they’re taken away from him…like with Sasuke….bro. I can’t even articulate this exactly how I want it’s just utter madness
And how he’d go insane at the slightest bit of information or mention about Sasuke…
Sasuke didn’t even know the others were planning to kill him, Naruto knew this and said if they’re gonna kill him I’m gonna kill him and then die with him instead like Sasuke had no plans of dying 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
You cannot deny this man was off his fucking rocker about Sasuke. He was so unwell
nₐᵣᵤₜₒ..
dare i say the best scenes in naruto are when the boyfriends are fighting each other like they hate each other. have you ever seen anything more romantic.
