I don’t really feel lonely, just empty. I don’t long for connection, but for meaning.

Your opinion on the widespread idea among anime-watchers that SAO had potential but was really bad and continues to get worse with every season?? Like I know you love SAO and its characters but I was wondering why you love it so much, since I fall into the category of “I really like this show but it’s impossible for me to ignore what’s wrong with it.”

Genuinely I thought the exact same thing, but that's just because it comes from an era of people hating on the series just to hate on it. SAO was regarded as a trash anime for so long and that had such a big influence on the anime community in general that people went "Oh, yeah, SAO, I've never seen it but I've heard it's terrible, so clearly it must be terrible".

I was really into the series when it first released and there was all that hype surrounding it, so really I've always had a soft spot for it. After all that negative crap surrounding it started to go around I unfortunately was one of those to jump on board and say oh yeah SAO is total garbage. But!! Then, in 2019, a friend told me how good season 3 was, so I decided I'd give it a try and attempt to watch it without any previous bias.

And hoooooly shit.

Season 3 completely knocked it out of the ballpark. I sat there and binged those episodes like a madman until I reached the end and was sobbing for a solid twenty minutes. I think that I'd forgotten just how good of a series it was, but season 3 took it to a whole new level, and Alicization was clearly meant to be the most important arc of the entire series. It was so good that I actually went and bought some of the light novels so I could read the source material. The previous seasons already felt sort of heavy, but s3 really took it home, and just. Everything about it. The storytelling, the character development, the overall concept of AI technology--I loved every bit of it.

Of course there are flaws to SAO, but that applies to ANY piece of media ever. There's always going to be something you dislike about it. But that's the fun part: you get to criticize those flaws and still enjoy the series with all your heart, because isn't that the point of engaging with a piece of media? To this day I still disagree heavily with Kawahara's choice to involve multiple sexual assault/rape scenes and I will continue to complain about it but in the end those scenes are such a small, tiny little part of the entire whole of SAO, and I love it to death.

At this point I'm of the opinion that season 1 (Aincrad) has been way overdone, really my heart lies with Alicization and the latter half of season 2 (looks at Klein getting to shine in the Calibur arc and Yuuki's entire arc that still makes me cry).

Anyway what I'm trying to say is!! Don't pay attention to what other people think about it. You gotta go in and form your own opinions and if you end up adoring the series like I do, don't be afraid to express that? Sure there's a whole lot of people that dislike SAO but there's also a ton that love it and when they see me praising it and making stupid memes and drawing for it that brings them a lot of joy. Don't let bias cloud your judgement. You get the final say in whether or not you enjoy the series, not the fandom.

How would Sasuke and Gaara react to a really nurturing s/o, who just peacefully cares about everyone especially her friends.

Gaara 

- after Gaara begins to understand the importance of friendship after he talks to naruto and its clear that narutos teachings of friendship shape alot of his character 

- that being said naruto is a bit much, even for him despite considering him an extremely dear friend. so when he meets you, who shares a similar resolve and importance for friensdhip while being the defintion of serene. garaa starts to believe in love at first sight. 

- its a slow process when it comes down to how you start dating, but you are always leading gaara through the darkness and he falls for you deeply 

- he knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with you really early into the relationship, but wants to let things build and blossom naturally. you are sincerely his whole world though. he loves the fact that he continues to learn from you 

- gaara is the type to take burden on silently, but with you its different. you shoulder the weight of his burdens before you two are together. your ability to say so much with your actions gives him this sense of true peace. your ability to show empathy to him and the people you love makes him admire you fiercely

- he can’t verbalize how much he loves you but its so much. he loves you so much. he loves you like the stars love the moon. he loves you like the ocean loves the tide. you are the person he is closest to in the whole world. you can feel it when he touches you softly, or hugs you for just a second too long. 

- he’s just so thankful to be around someone who works so tirelessly to understand and care for every single person around them. its a breath of fresh air for him to be around such a light and sweet person. 

__

Sasuke 

- Sasuke has seen some shit man. Say what you will about him and how he is, but it is extremely diffucult for him to be trusting of other people. he literally had no ties to anyone for so long and he was truly isolated in every sense of the word. it took him a long while to even realize that he had a place to call home.

- what draws Sasuke into loving you is your forgiveness. he finds so much comfort in your ability to make him feel forgiven for all the suffering he’s caused. for all the anger he’s harbored. you can forgive sasuke and it’s all he can find himself wanting to feel. 

- he’s a really broken person and while he knows the past is the past and that he is working to redeem himself it never feels like he’s going to get there. you are a reminder, when he sees you taking care of the people around you. when you smile at him genuinely. when you give tirelessly. you remind sasuke what he’s fighting to recover. 

- the way you interact and care for your friends. he wants thats, and he wants you to care for him similarly.  so you give him a reminder when he slips that theres light at the end of the tunnel. 

- he cries when you hug him sometimes. you two don’t talk about it but it makes him feel vunerable to be in your presence. he may come off as aloof but rest assured he cares for you deeply. you are a home for him

- someday he will be the man you deserve and he will return to you everything you’ve given him. this is what he promises to you silently.
