Itachi Uchiha RP Blog

This is an Itachi RP and Ask blog. It is a side blog. I follow from @halfelfvetling​. this blog is only semi-active due to life circumstances.

About the Mun

I am a 30 year old veterinarian with a particular fondness for anime. I’ve had this blog for several years, but I've been on hiatus for a while. Burnout is a bitch. I’ve been doing text based RP for most of my life in some form or another. Any pronouns are fine, though I primarily use she/her in day to day life. My ask box is open, but I am slow to answer things or reply to threads because real life comes first. I promise I am a pretty approachable person, you just need to be patient with me when it comes to asks or replies. But my inbox is always open. Feel free to chat about anything, not just naruto.

About the Muse

Itachi Uchiha is the primary muse for this blog, though I may occasionally post drabbles from other character’s POV. My Itachi is a personal interpretation of the character and often diverges from cannon. I RP a variety of AUs, many of which are non-massacre AUs. If you have a particular AU you’d like to RP in, just let me know. 

I RP Itachi at a variety of ages, depending on the plot, but most often the Itachi I am RPing is in his mid twenties. 

Some personal headcannons for my Itachi: 

Fugaku is not a good father. This can range anywhere from being neglectful to being downright abusive. If you’d prefer I don’t reference this in RP, let me know. 

Itachi is bi. 

Itachi is afraid of thunderstorms and blood.

I will add more as they come to me.

Rules

I am an adult and for that reason I prefer not to interact with minors. This blog may contain NSFW. If I find a minor interacting with ANY NSFW posts on my blog, I will block you. End of story. Do not PM me if you are a minor, you will be blocked. end of story. 

Shipping- I have a decent number of established Itachi ships. The biggest ones you’ll see on this blog are ItachixShisui, ItachixTenzo, ItachixTemari, ItachixSakura. I am open to other Itachi ships, but I dont ship characters with a large age gap (I tend to stick to a max of about 5 years, with the caveat that characters meet as adults), I do not ship ItachixKakashi or ItachixKisame and ABSOLUTELY NO ItachixSasuke EVER on this blog

As far as RPing, I tend towards multiparagraph threads. Short replies are fine, but I like to write and don’t really have much interest in nonsense threads. I prefer to have a plot to follow that I can develop with my RP partner. I RP a lot of angst, but if you want to RP some fluffy stuff, lemme know. 

I am ok RPing smut/romance with established adult RP partners. Please do not send in random smut starters without talking to me first. Occasionally I will post NSFW drabble prompts. Any adult blog is welcome to send these in on or off anon for me to write. 

For new RP partners: a lot of our initial RPs will probably be centered on missions as I get used to your RP style and get comfortable RPing with you. But the more we RP together, the more we can branch out into other threads and plotlines. 

Please talk to me before jumping into any particularly dark or potentially triggering plotlines. I’m open to most topics, but clear and open communication is an important aspect of RP and no one wants to wake up to a very disturbing prompt in their askbox without warning. 

I have watched all of shippuden but I haven’t touched Boruto so I know basically nothing about that. 

Don’t power play/godmod (by which I mean do not tell me what my character does or says. You control your character, I control mine.)

I will not hesitate to block people who blatantly break my rules, make me uncomfortable, or are biggoted in any way.

Not me seeing that whump post you reblogged and imagining Danzō with Itachi and Shisui as prisoners and Shisui as the blind one while Itachi as the tortured one

Shisui's ears have become much more sensitive since Danzo took his eyes. He's learned to live in darkness, to navigate by sound alone. Had Shisui been the only one to fall into Danzo's clutches, the darkness alone might have broken him. But he wasn't alone. Every day he could hear Itachi in the cell next to his, and so for Itachi's sake, he tried to stay strong.

Waking up from the fight with Danzo had left Shisui confused. He'd opened his eyes, and...nothing. The sensation was there, Shisui blinked a few times, but no, there was no light, nothing more than the strange feeling of being trapped in complete and utter darkness.

"Shisui? Shisui?" Itachi's panicked voice was the first sound that Shisui heard through the darkness. He sat up, reaching out, fumbling to crawl towards the sound until he met with a cold, rough stone wall.

"'tachi? I'm here. Where are you, Itachi?"

"I'm here. I'm sorry, Shisui, gods I'm so sorry. " Itachi's voice sounds shaky. Shisui spread his fingers against the wall, as if he might be able to feel the warmth of Itachi's touch through the stone.

"Itachi what happened? Where are we?"

There was a long moment of silence, long enough that Shisui's heart started to pound as panic welled up in his chest.

"Itachi-"

"Root. were inside the root compound."

Shisui's heart dropped to his stomach. Root. Danzo. Everything rushed back to him at once. His eyes...Itachi must have gone looking for him when he didn't show up to their meeting point by the Naka.

Itachi's voice was like an anchor for Shisui in those first few days. He talked to Shisui, describing the cells they were being held in, the various root guards who patrolled outside their cells, the treys of gruel that they were given every so often to keep them from starving to death.

The first time that Shisui woke up to silence, he went on a rampage. He unleashed katon after katon, firing aimlessly into walls, summoning every ounce of strength in his body trying to bring down the entire compound around him.

"Shisui, that is quite enough." A chill went down Shisui's spine as Danzo's calm voice cut through the cacophony he was creating. Cold fury burned in his core and he turned to the sound of the voice.

"Where is he."

Was Shisui imagining the way he could almost hear the smile as it spread across Danzo's face.

"Perhaps I'll return him to you if you behave. You're causing quite a ruckus."

"Bastard" Shisui snarled, lunging towards the voice, only to be met with the cold metal bars of his cage.

Shisui barely noticed the pinpoint of pain as the dart hit him. But he did feel as his body turned heavy. From just feet away, he could hear Danzo sigh.

"You know, Shisui, you aren't terribly useful to me. But your cousin...Sweet little Itachi...for all that I detest about your clan, he has potential. He can still be of service to Konoha." The sickly sweet tone of Danzo's voice combined with the spreading sedative was making Shisui's stomach turn.

"It's quite a pity that Itachi has such a strong will. Perhaps you can find some way yet to make yourself useful."

Shisui was about to respond when he heard it. A soft sound that only barely caught his attention. The sound of soft dragging across the stone floor. The sound of the metal door of Itachi's cage creaking open and a soft "thud"

"Think on it, Shisui." Danzo said, walking away.

Sounds took on a whole new kind of importance after that. Shisui didn't stop calling his cousin's name until a soft groan answered him. From the other side of the wall, Shisui made Itachi report all of his injuries to Shisui. Shisui tried desperately to stay awake, to keep Itachi talking to him as long possible, terrified of that ominous silence returning.

Shisui began to really focus on training himself to hear every single sound around them. He learned to distinguish the footfalls of the different Anbu guards. Lion walked with soft steps that scritch scritched along the floors. Jaguar had long strides and the Tap tap tap of the blade that was hidden in the heel of their boot. Mouse whistled slightly when they breathed and Kestrel drummed their fingers on their leg with a da-da-da. Shisui could pick out the sound of Danzo's cane from a distance each time that Danzo came to take Itachi away.

Soon enough, Shisui's hearing was good enough that he could hear the sound of Itachi's screams. Muffled through layers and layers of stone, Shisui could feel the vibrations of his cousin's pain in his very bones, echoing through his skull. His nightmares were filled with that sound. But the screams weren't the worst sound that Shisui could hear.

No, the worst sound came months...maybe years into what had become Shisui's own living hell. After yet another session where Itachi's refusal to submit himself to Danzo. Soft whimpers of pain had finally quieted into the soft, even sounds of sleep. But to every single breath Itachi took, there was a hitch, and underneath it, a rattle that gripped at Shisui's heartstrings. A rattle that got louder every day. A rattle that turned into a thick, wet cough and came with each and every breath.

boobs?

I can only assume this was in relation to the last prompt post I reblogged (the bones one)

However seeing as how there is no option for what you sent, I'll answer whichever the hell one I want.

Mandible/jawbone - what are they incapable of saying out loud

The answer is "I love you,"

Itachi expresses his love for people in a lot of ways. But words is not one of them. Saying the words I love you mean acknowledging feelings that are at the best vulnerable and at the worst, very very complicated.

“You had better be in bed and not moving around!" Itachi and Sasuke? (Not a ship, just sibling fluff)

There's no real heat behind Itachi's words, other than a psuedostern tone as he hears the quiet, intermittent shuffling of little feet sneaking down the hallway past his room. He knows that his mom left a trey of cookies out to cool on the counter. She'd told Itachi they were for the nurses who had been looking after Kushina. She'd also told Itachi that she'd baked a few extra, in case he or Sasuke wanted one, but Itachi hadn't told Sasuke that part. Instead, Itachi had told Sasuke that the cookies were part of a mission that their mom was on and that only really sneaky shinobi could have any.

A soft giggle sounded from outside Itachi's room and he heard the pitter patter of little feet running back down the hallway. Itachi smiled. He loved games like this. Sasuke would keep trying to sneak past and Itachi would "catch him," until it got a little later and then he would let Sasuke sneak past and steal a cookie. His brother would take it to share at school tomorrow since he didn't actually like sweet much, but he'd get the satisfaction of feeling proud of himself in a way that their father never managed to evoke.

The smile on Sasuke's face the next day would get Itachi through another day in the Anbu. Yep, this was by far his favorite game.

Speaking of very old fan fic projects that just keep going, I finally put up chapter four of Do No Harm. For those who haven't read it, it's a post Sasuke/Itachi death battle amnesia fic that was started by @illwork4anime and I've been slowly picking away at continuing. Originally meant to be a 2-3 part story, it's now up to 20k words. Please check it out!

[aphel1on]

nothinggg better than torturing an emotionally repressed character until every single trauma they've ever refused to process starts spilling uncontrollably out of the cracks. like a matryoshka doll situation of repressed trauma and baby you better believe i'm going in there with a hammer

[starbuck]

me analyzing my favorite characters:

[tmkckbk420]

itachi looks way too adult in the anime, like i thought he was literally like 30 or something when i watched the anime and then i was absolutely shocked when i learned he was actually 13 when the massacre happened, FUCKING THIRTEEN. and then i read the manga, where he actually looks like the kid he indeed was, which is something that constantly reminds you of how fucked up it is to have a 13yo murder his entire clan

here as well, 17

[enavstars]

I wanted to do this in digital but I don't have the time right now.

For context I hc Rin and Obito as 2 years older than Kakashi, so Kakashi was 12 during Kannabi and Rin and Obito 14.

I don't usually draw Rin that much but I absolutely love her and plan to do more with her. It's funny because when I first watched the show I didn’t like her. It wasn't until I began to read fanfics and saw all the headcanons and interpretations of her character here on tumblr that I started to like her. So thank you all for that <3<3

So here are some (bits of how I see her/of my my headcanons about her) on her relationship with Kakashi.

Rin used to idealize Kakashi, so ended up crushing on him. And Kakashi really did carry himself with a lot of self-confidence and strenght, always giving that prodigy vibes. So Rin being a kid didn't realize how young Kakashi actually is.

This changes after the Kannabi bridge mission. Kakashi, whose body is still adapting to his Sharingan, is unable to keep the confident facade due to the inmense pain he's in (I can expand on this in another post if you'd like), so he looks extremely vulnerable and small.

After seeing Kakashi in this state, Rin can't ignore anymore that Kakashi is a kid even younger than herself and inmediately drops her crush.

So now Rin sees Kakashi as more like a little brother, and she decides to look after him. (This comes from what little caracterization we have in canon of her. In the scene where Obito dies, while Kakashi is crying and shaking, Rin inmediately stops crying when Obito asks her to do the transplant, showing her incredible mental strength).

And she takes care of Kakashi not just because she understands how important he was to Obito, but also as a way to cope, in the same selfless (but unhealthy) way she's always known. She needs this, needs to take care of someone vulnerable to help herself. After all, she was really messed up by Konoha and the war, she is still a child soldier who got her obsession with being useful to the village drilled into her head. So she distracts herself from her own grief by helping Kakashi with his, thinking it's what Obito would have wanted, even if it's slowly destroying her.

Because here's the thing, Rin underestimates how important she truly was to Obito and prioritizes Kakashi over her, in the same way Kakashi prioritizes Rin. Neither realizes that both of them were the most important people to Obito.

So in summary, Rin seals her own pain and refuses to cry or show weakness in front of Kakashi (supporting him like she supported Obito) but at the same time she spends most of her time with him with the excuse that she’s helping him with the pain from the Sharingan.

They sometimes sleep in the same hospital bed, hugging and exhausted, and then there can be heard soft sobs and sniffles. But it's impossible to know which one of them is making those noises.
