My first attempt at tumblr. Mainly Sasuke & TMNT centric

[keepyourpantsongohan]

This panel is from the official translation I can’t believe Sasuke canonically says “me, the baby” and I want everyone in the Naruto universe to call him this from now on

^me, protecting Sasuke's virtue on tumblr. The sheer length I'd go for this boy...

I recently listened to the Animal I have Become by Three Days Grace, which was released in 2006, and I felt the lyrics match Jugo's POV:

"I can't escape this hell. So many times I've tried, but I'm still caged inside. Somebody get me through this nightmare! I can't control myself. So what if you can see the darkest side of me? No one would ever change this animal I have become… Help me believe it's not the real me! Somebody help me tame this animal!

I can't escape myself. So many times I've lied, but there's still rage inside. Somebody help me through this nightmare! I can't control myself. Somebody wake me from this nightmare! I can't escape this hell…

No one will ever change this animal I have become… Help me believe it's not the real me… Somebody help me tame this animal… Help me believe it's not the real me… Somebody help me tame this animal…"

I'm thinking about the angst he must have felt from time to time, and the relief Sasuke's arrival meant for him.

{Introduction}

The purpose of this blog is to force myself to contribute. I am fed up with lurking in the shadows of fandoms. The world is amazing, fandoms are amazing, art is amazing, and I want more part in it than just saving pictures into folders.

I want to give back to something that saved my life many times over the course of the last two decades in whatever small ways I can.

Picture description: black pearl in a white shell. A metaphor for opening up and putting the inner value on display. Reminds me of Sasuke's black eyes, too.

Ishtar, also known as Inanna is the ancient Mesopotamian goddess of love, war and fertility, further associated with sesuality, divine law and political power. Kaguya is portrayed as a god-like figure, the original source of chakra, the Lady of the Moon. Aspects of her also bear resemblance to Izanami-no-Mikoto, the Shintō goddess of the dead. Similarities: Ishtar Kaguya a crescent moon headdress/horns rabbit ears ruby-inlaid eyes a single red sharingan

The combination of red eyes and white skin makes me think of albinos.

Do you think Sui can turn into ice if you leave him out in the cold for too long?

We've seen Suigetsu not only in freezing weather, but also transforming into his watery form in the snow.

He doesn't seem to be any colder than the others, so unfortunately, no, he doesn't freeze, even though that would be so funny if it did... 😭

Reading the context, he "slid" in this form around the surroundings to count how many guards there were, or if you want to go further, this panel (below) shows that Suigetsu can feel what is happening around him through the rain, so maybe he merged with the snow and felt how many guards were stepping on it...? Hcs, hcs...

Anyway, an extra of Sasuke being rude to Karin and Suigetsu making fun of her... I love this scene so much. 😭😭

[suika-suigetsu]

Since Karin can smell chakra: what are you HCs for the characters' chakra smelling/feeling like.

Aaah, I've been waiting for this question... Expect a long answer from me, as always... 👉👈

First, I must say that the smell Karin senses goes far beyond the "smell of roses" or "smell of sweat", as you said. She can sense whether a person is good or bad, and whether or not they are lying, exactly as some people believe animals do when they smell us. But, as we know, she has proven to have a much greater sensitivity than animals or any power in any Village.

Still, we want to know the real smell too, lol. So I'll try to give a description of both - the physical smell and the smell of their "nature".

Sasuke Uchiha

Chakra Smell: Aside from the time when Sasuke was going through a bad phase, his smell is as pure as his personality. If we take into account what Karin herself says, Sasuke's smell is "dark and cold". This may seem like a bad thing, but I think it's the feeling of being in a cabin on a snowy night. The cold is comforting, and unlike the heat of a sunny day that burns your eyes, you feel an almost hypnotic desire to watch the snow falling, and sometimes, an deadly impulse to stand under it, even though it will hurt you at some point.

Physical Smell: Sasuke doesn't seem to be very vain, but he certainly doesn't allow himself to get dirty to the point of smelling. As someone who is always traveling, he must smell like the grass and bushes he passes by, and he also has his own soap and shampoo (which he prefers to have a non-perfumed scent, but still give off a fresh and pleasant aroma), which he takes with him to bathe in when he stops at a Ryokan on a regular basis, or if he has no choice, in some secluded stream.

Jugo

Chakra Smell: Jugo's chakra essence must be the best of all. Besides being a good person who seeks peace when he is not under the curse mark, he never lies. There are some scenes where Jugo holds Karin in his arms or touches her in some way, and even though she is so "skittish", she never seems to mind. I always compare Jugo to a big teddy bear that you can hug, vent and cry for hours on his shoulder, and even though his expression remains the same and he will not give you an answer to your problems, just the fact that he is there already makes you feel good. He smells like "home".

Physical Smell: In Shippuden, he smelled really bad. Jugo didn't seem to have been taught how to bathe, since he probably didn't have anyone to take care of him since childhood. He didn't cut his hair and almost never changed his clothes. He smelled like sweat, blood, and of course, animals. In Boruto, Jugo smells minimally good because Suigetsu and Karin taught him to take better care of his hygiene. He cuts his hair regularly and takes a bath (at least every three days...). He still wears the same curtain he wore in Shippuden, and I'm sure he lets the birds do their business on him and doesn't care... So you better enjoy it while he smells like soap right after a bath, because when he goes to the forest, he'll smell bad again.

Suigetsu Hōzuki

Chakra Smell: The worst smell on Team Taka. Suigetsu was a cold-blooded killer practically since birth, there was no compassion or kindness in his personality, and I don't doubt that he would easily lie to deceive an enemy (or for less). His smell was like being caught in freezing rain after a bad day. However, we saw his personality change along with Team Taka. He became a reliable companion and learned that the lives of others matter. In Boruto, even though he still has his acidic personality, he is clearly not as cold-blooded as he was in his teens. He smells like... Being caught in a drizzle after a happy day. It's still annoying from one perspective, but from another, it makes your day even better and makes you want to stop and let the thin layer of water accumulate on your face and give you that cold, funny feeling.

Physical smell: I don't think Suigetsu smells like anything... His sweat shouldn't have a very strong smell and the scent of any soap or perfume shouldn't stick to his skin for long, thanks to his anatomy. Some people think that his water ability is something that can be activated manually since it's listed as a jutsu in the Databook, but based on his statements and the times he was caught off guard and liquefied, he's literally made of water 24 hours a day. Odorless and tasteless.

Karin Uzumaki

Chakra Smell: A very strong smell, just like her personality, for sure... Due to her difficult past, she ended up creating a thick shell around herself, so she was not honest about her feelings, most of the time, in addition to being unnecessarily ignorant with people, as if she wanted to protect herself in advance. Imagine that you went to a bookstore, and there is that delicious smell of new books everywhere and you could spend hours there, but there is that side separated by a chain where there is a warning for sensitive people not to approach... You feel an immense urge to go in there, wanting to take the risk to see what you might find, but at the same time, the fear of getting a lecture and being thrown out forever makes you unsure about going any further. In Boruto, the same thing. But I think you are so intrigued with all the other interesting areas that the bookstore has that you don't care about checking that forbidden area. Maybe one day, who knows.

Physical Smell: The best of all. Karin is extremely vain. Not only does she love perfumes and has a collection of different scents to match her mood of the day, but she also uses a product for each area of her body, knows what kind of cream to use for each season and doesn't let cheap shampoo touch her hair. Her skin is very soft, and even when she goes on long trips, she *needs* to stop and take a shower at least once a day. If she can't, she uses perfume to not smell so bad. This also keeps the scent of her chakra disguised from potential enemies.

Bonus: Orochimaru smells like "Danger, move away immediately and carefully or you will be bitten". But he physically smells really good and is almost as vain as Karin. Mitsuki smells like a baby because he IS SO BABY. And Log smells like cigarettes, obviously... His chakra smell shouldn't be too noticeable. I feel like he smells like sitting in a leather chair and reading a good book.
