Ino Yamanaka July

Ino Yamanaka is the queen and she should be appreciated.

Ino did NOT like Sasuke nor Sai because of their looks!

I’m so sick of seeing posts like: “Ino had to settle for a Sasuke clone”, “Ino loves Sai only because he looks like Sasuke!”

There are so many things wrong with these statements, first of all, Sai has only the same hair and eye color as Sasuke, that’s it. Lee also has dark hair and eyes but can you see Ino wanting to be more than friends? No. Only another thing these three have in common is that they’re great ninjas with exceptional abilities, just like about half of the characters on the show.

If you want to understand SaiIno, you need to understand SasuIno first. Just because the main heroine likes him because of his looks doesn’t mean that her rival does the same.

This is one of the earliest encounters between Sasuke and Ino that happened soon after his family’s massacre:

The Sunflower represents FRIENDSHIP! Friendship, positivity and long life, completely unlike Sakura’s confession that was completely based on HERSELF and HER feelings towards him. Tell me is THIS love because of the looks? Don’t think so. She just wanted to be friends at first.

Also, when they were younger:

This hints that Sasuke at least thought about being friends with Ino.

Are THESE signs of look-based love: Crying solely because Sasuke is proclaimed a criminal and will probably die not because doesn’t love her? Again, unlike Sakura.  

Seriously, how can ANYONE claim that Ino loves Sasuke only because he’s handsome? 

She JUST remarked that Sai looks kind like Sasuke, that’s it, she, AGAIN, just wanted to be friends with Sai, she wasn’t even flirty like she usually is.

Also are somebodys that you ‘love only because they’re handsome’ in your biggest wish? Along with your father being alive? 

INO CAN’T LOVE SAI BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE SASUKE IF SHE DIDN’T LIKE SASUKE BECAUSE OF HIS LOOKS!

So seriously please stop saying otherwise because it’s crap

SHE FOUGHT FOR HIM

AND SHE SAVED HIM

She basically made a robot feel emotions, that’s love folks.

Btw I’m sure Sasuke would be at least a bit better if he chose to give her a chance.

Another DeiIno for Ino month ayyyy!

@augustisnotatotalshit suggested fantasy DeiIno so I just decided to go with my DnD AU. Ino’s an aasimar, Deidara is a half-elf. She’s a druid and he’s an artificer. Hetells her that he totally handled that fight and totally doesn’t need heeling. And she’s like lmao yeah right.

An innocuous meeting. A heartfelt gift. When she learned what he’d done, she could never tell Sakura that for her, it had never been Sasuke. “A memory is what is left when something happens and does not completely un-happen.”

Can’t recall if I posted this… but what the hey. Let’s do it.

Gaa/Ino “Did I go a little too far this time? Oh no. I broke Sabaku no Gaara!” Ino grows up in Suna as a spy for Konoha. Unfinished, but summary of ending/notes included.

A beautiful fic that I cry over.

The story is not finished. The author no longer has time and has, abandoned the fic. However, she has mentioned that if someone else wants to take up the story they can.  You can message her, but as long as you credit the original work, she is perfectly fine.

Itachi Uchiha, Ravenclaw prefect and then- professor at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Ino Yamanaka, the girl who is madly in love with him. It’s written in the stars and every crystal ball says its true. If only he’d stop being stubborn and accept his destiny. 100 Prompts. AU Harry Potter style.

Accept it Itachi!!! DAMN YOU!

He was like a flower; beautiful, strong, delicate and precious all at once. She wanted to see him bloom. A collection of ItaIno drabbles.

Keep in mind these are short, small drabbles.

‘You just come into my life and screw it all up’ 'It takes two to screw around.’ After falling from grace Ino falls into Naruto’s group and meets Gaara. Suddenly lines become blurred and Ino finds herself tangled in a web of lies, cheating and debauchary. GaaIno Rating subject to change.

[AU] For famous model Ino Yamanaka, perfection is fat-free meals and high heels. That was until perfection almost killed her. Forced back into the small town of her childhood away from pricey dresses and diets, she is torn between her old ways and a lazy-ass artist she didn’t know she’d left behind. ShikaIno and others.

Warning: Themes of eating disorders

Gotta include this artist. If you Love Neji/Tenten, she’s got some good pieces for them.

AU. Shikamaru expected his love confession to the new secretary to last the length of a two-step dance. He certainly didn’t expect her to be everything but a secretary, his muffins to be poisoned or his love confession to last weeks. ShikaIno

I have a lot of making up to do. Like, three days on top of my random spamming.

Konoha is settling back into everyday life after the conclusion of the Fourth Shinobi War, but Ino is finding it to be quite unlike what she anticipated. As everyone moves on, will Ino be caught in the shadows of the past?

A chance meeting had perked her interest. A desire to help brighten his quiet loner life had made her approach. What she hadn’t expected was to wake up next to Kakashi sensei after a night of binge drinking and apparently debauchery?

Ino joins the league of players Genma/Ino. Rated M for adult situations.

Standing at a tree branch outside her window, his eyes lamenting over his loss but he knew better. He knew that it wasn’t right to love her. [Itachi’s POV]

Might be a tad short, but no less beautifully done. Especially for this pairing.
