22 • she/they • Brazilian-American • still mostly into Naruto • Asks are always open, but I may be slow to reply, sorry! • @Name_Changed_For_Legal_Reasons on ao3
Welcome to my silly blog! I write fics on ao3 (mostly about Kakashi and Tobirama) and also like to rant about naruto au ideas, headcanons, and OCs on here! Sometimes I also post (usually stupid) art!
#birds fic talk <- Headcanons, fic ideas, all that stuff. Mostly Naruto but there's some Starwars and other fandoms buried in there
#birds rambles <- general chitter from me, might occasionally include fic related stuff anyways
#birds fanart <- fan art (it's literally all Naruto)
#birds ocs <- art and ocs by me that aren't actually fandom related
#birds gift box <- things people have made for me!! Some commissions, some of free will, all adored and cherished by me
#bird propaganda <- people being nice to me / me talking about myself / dropping Official Bird Lore (tm)
Specific fic and AU tags;
#chasing shadows <- stuff for my fic, 'Chasing Shadows', the one where kid Kakashi learns he's related to Tobirama a week after his father's death and projects to cope
#one step three steps <- stuff for my fic, 'One Step Forward, Three Steps Back', my really self-indulgent fic where an early Konoha Hatake brat time travels to modern Konoha and fucks stuff up with the power of decades old rumors, breaking and entering, and being a public safety hazard
#magical girl izuna <- for my magical girl Izuna AU, ft. tobiizu vibes, toxic yuri Kaguya and Amaterasu, and like 4 "seasons" of plot twists and lore
#Twins Itama and Tobirama <- My tag for Itama things and the secret Senju weed empire AU
#Tora Haruno AU <- Tobirama reincarnates as Sakura's big brother
#Uchiha Houhua <- Shang Qinghua reincarnates as Uchiha Izumi, the system breathing down his neck with expectations of him to die during the Uchiha massacre— Something he's going to try his very best to avoid
#Wolves of the Woods <- Hatake clan things, including lots of headcanons, timelines + traditions, and also ocs to fill the gaps in the warring states era. All canon compliant, with Kakashi having never been taught anything by Sakumo, who was similarly taught very little since the clan died when he was small
You can find a collection of literally every single one of my aus carefully sorted and put into order [HERE]

I recently changed my Hatake oc's name from ICHIGO to KURUMI!
SakuTen AU where Tenten joins ROOT during the 3 year gap, and Sakura has to beat it off with a broom to stop it from stealing bodies from the hospital morgue
Just saw this addition and. I did not even consider the possible shenanigans to be had when Sai joins the plot. Sakura immediately clocks him as a ROOT agent but assumes that he’s just a Really Weird one because he doesn’t seem like he’s having fun at all. Meanwhile her favorite little freak Tenten (who is CLEARLY the ideal example of a ROOT agent) is constantly being give prime enrichment. She starts leaving anonymous dead bodies outside of Sai’s apartment with sticky notes saying “DO NOT TAKE” and is even more confused when he doesn’t steal them
Years later Ino comes to Sakura for romance advice since she’s been in a happy relationship(??) with a ROOT agent for ages now and Sakura has to break the news that Sai’s the worst saddest little ROOT agent to ever exist. She once asked him if he wanted to dissect a corpse with her and Tenten and he said NO. Can you believe that Ino.
Similar fic idea to One Step Three Steps, but instead of some random Hatake brat being zapped into modern Konoha from the very early days of the village, it was actually the at the time Hatake Clan Head.
I'm gonna go with the Hatake family tree I tossed into Chasing Shadows for fun, meaning a) the clan head is named Haruka, and b) she's Sakumo's mother (thus Kakashi's grandmother) and Tobirama's aunt
She died very shortly after Tobirama (like a week tops) and the rest of her clan was wiped out pretty soon after her.
(Sakumo was raised by the only other survivor of the clan, an old grandma with poor memory who hadn't been in any state to fight, and who later passed away when Sakumo was still pretty young— so he learned very little about their clan and their traditions, and then passed on even less to Kakashi before he died)
I have literally nothing else for her other than the above, so I guess we'll figure out her character together as we go along
With that said, this is gonna be a long one, so buckle in for
✨️ The Hatake clan head time travels from early to modern Konoha ✨️
Immediately, there's just so much potential pretty much anywhere you drop her into the timeline.
Lets take her from the very first years of Konoha, where they're still lowkey building the village and Madara is still around (bc I love the drama of the time traveler respecting Madara only for the future people to be like "oooo... ok, so bad news actually— Also, you legally aren't allowed to talk good about him for military dictatorship reasons, sorry :(" )
And then we're gonna drop her into kid Kakashi era, with Sakumo still being alive
Right off the bat -> That's Sakumo's fucking mom!!!! Holy shit you guys!!! The last time she saw him he was like a literal infant she JUST recovered from birthing AND NOW HES A WHOLE MAN!!!!
Shes grabbing him by the cheeks squishing him to death, there may be baby talk involved (he's a grown man let him go oh my god??)
If she comes before his mission gone wrong, her presence prevents him from going on it (disaster averted,,, for now) He's currently in the running for most likely to become next Hokage and she's so disgustingly proud holy shit. Her baby!!! Hokage!!!
Maybe have some talk about how that'd make either 3 or 2 Hatake's in office depending on if you count Hashirama as a Hatake (Haruka does not) and how that's kind of bad, right? Only Haruka doesn't give a SHIT about that (politicians hate her and shed hate them too if she didn't enjoy making them suffer so much)
"But Haruka, as clan head aren't you a politician too by default?"
"Haha yeah!! Isn't that awful? (For all of them)"
If she comes AFTER the dreaded mission gone wrong, Haruka is all about backing up his decision (the Hatake are a clan who emphasize loyalty like no other, which is also part of why they took to Konoha's mentality so well)
Shes telling Sakumo he did the right thing and fuck literally everyone who says otherwise. Trust your momma Sakumo, she knows best
Her being there averts Sakumo's death— either bc she manages to keep him going, or bc she interrupts him mid suicide
(I can see Sakumo trying to go through with it specifically bc he thinks at least Kakashi has Haruka now once he's gone)
Also oh my god SAKUMO YOU HAD A BABY??? SHE HAS A GRANDBABY???? AWWW CMERE LITTLE GUY LET GRANDMA GIVE YOU A SMOOCH— OHHH SAKUMO LOOK AT HOW HE STABBED ME OHH WHAT A GOOD BOY, WHAT A CUTE BABY BOY!! CMERE BABY— OHH SAKUMO LOOK HES BITING ME AWWW THATS SO CUTE!! WHOS A GOOD GRANDBABY?? WHOS A GOOD GRANDBABY?? (said like she's talking to a fucking dog)
Kakashi kind of hates her.
There's like a whole big bit about the Hatake clan bloodline limit, which is sort of general wolfy stuff, enhanced senses, some extra strength, etc. And my all-time favorite take, adaptation ✨️
Their white chakra is super flexible, able to adapt and change to fit pretty much any situation —or even other bloodline limits. (Which is why Kakashi not only survived the sharingan implant but came to arguably master it)
Anyways -> other than the white chakra (which neither Sakumo or Kakashi know the details of other than it's their family chakra and its,, white. Exciting, I know), their bloodline limit seems to have borderline dissapeared with Kakashi and Sakumo, due to basically them not knowing how to feed into it / activley supressing it to conform to polite society (unaware that certain impulses aren't actually just intrusive thoughts but actual instinct trying to get them to do things necessary to feed into and reawakened their bloodline limit)
Kakashi actually shows more hints of still having it bc of his age, while Sakumo is very well practiced in accidentally supressing it to conform with general society.
So obviously, Haruka is like "hey guys!! What the actual fuck is this!!" and immediatley (borderline desperatley) trying to get them back to her perceived normal
She's actually REALLY fucked up about all this. Her own son!! Her own grandbaby!! And they don't even eat enough MEAT!!!! This is an actual nightmare, this is like basic baby stuff all the Hatake's should know and she's getting nothing but blank looks and vuagley ashamed guilty stares from Sakumo as she asks if he even takes Kakashi on hunts (he didn't even know that was a thing he should be doing.)
Don't even get her started when she learns Sakumo isn't acting as clan head on the Konoha clan council, holy shit. The Hatake might be a clan of 2 now but they were among the first clans to come to Konoha— she doesn't give a shit how many of them are left, if the number is more than 1 then there better be a fucking representative of theirs on that goddamn council
Funny bit where Kakashi tries to bite someone and Sakumo is telling him to stop bc jesus christ child can you behave for 5 seconds oh god he's so sorry— and Haruka is like, why are you telling him to stop??? This is enrichment for him :)) if there's no blood it's fine, that's the official clan policy for dealing with kids
Haruka... isn't actually a very good choice to leave as your babysitter. If nothing is on fire and no one is dead she considers herself successful.
Sakumo will learn this. In time.
Mmmm bad ending where Sakumo goes through with the suicide. Could be very fun and fucked up n dramatic.
Kakashi doesn't find his father's body first bc Haruka does— or maybe he does but Haruka walks in right behind him and forces him to close his eyes before he can actually see the body.
Fun scene where Haruka is physically wrestling Kakashi away from his father's body, a hand over his eyes as he screams and claws at her, demanding that she let go and let him see his dad.
Can't she smell the blood!? Tou-san is hurt, he needs help! What are you doing!!? Let him go!! Tou-san, Tou-san, where are you? Why aren't you answering?!
He bites her hand in his struggles, so deep that it later scars (just another reminder of the day, oh boy !!)
Haruka getting hit by the fucking brick of reality, straight in the face. She got to meet her son, the only survivor of their clan from her era, just in time for him to die <3
The fic then takes a HARD turn from the silly fluffy fun times of Haruka goofing around telling people to suck her dick if they have a problem with her (which a lot of people definitely do)
-> Right into shinobi politics, political schemes and sabotaged missions and buried clan history galore territory. Haruka isn't ab to take this lying down and everyone's about to get their first look at a grieving Hatake mother in her prime who just lost her baby to the shinobi rumor mill
Before she was kind of keeping to herself just having fun in the clan compound, not reeeally getting involved with any politics or village shit, bc like, she's playing with her family!! This is like her vacation till the time travel is solved and she goes back home!!
But she's not doing that anymore.
Sakumo is gone and Haruka is more than willing to take the seat he chose to leave empty at the clan council. She's about to become EVERYONES problem.
In the bg, Kakashi VIOLENTLY swings between fucking hating Haruka ("You should have stopped him! You should have been there! You should have helped!") to being like, physically unable to be unatached from her (she's waking up in the middle of the night to find him suddenly burrowed into her blankets, holding on to her like he's scared she'll dissapear when he wakes up)
Small soft scene where he's sleeping on top of her and quietly whispers that he's sorry for biting her.
Haruka possibly tries to have Kakashi temporarily drop his training but it's a very hard battle to fight. Both bc Kakashi wants to fight and bc Konoha wants him to fight
Uhh first big scary Haruka politics scene when she puts her foot down and says something along the lines of, "are you telling me here and now that my word as Hatake clan head is not enough to stop Konoha from taking away my child?" And Sarutobi kind of has to back down bc that does NOT fly well with the other clans
Obito and Rin swing by and try to pry at why Kakashi can't fight and she just fucking stares at them and goes, "He's 6."
She goes home and puts her head in her fucking hands. She was promised Konoha was to keep the kids SAFE, that's the entire fucking reason the Hatake agreed to join!!! This is not safe Tobirama, you bitch!!!!! If they send out Kakashi to die, shes going to find your fucking ghost and grind your face into Kakashi's grave!!!!
Anyways, time for my favorite part: politics
Haruka is coming from the early days of Konoha, where the only reason the Hatake even joined the village was, "because my cute little nephew (Tobirama) asked us real nice"
In her mind, she and her clan are still allowed to back the fuck up out of the village whenever she so chooses. She likes it in Konoha, yeah, but they're still free reign nomads and while she'd like to stay and have her clan flourish (which they didn't exactly do and she can literally SEE the way the village destroyed them from the inside out) she and her clan retain the right to leave whenever they want. And if they do leave, other than losing the new friends, it won't exactly be hard on them to get back to the nomad life.
All of that is to say that Sarutobi isn't her Hokage and while she'll be nice and respectful bc she recognizes the position (and her position) when push comes to shove, there's literally nothing they can hold on her to make her bend or break.
Also the last time she saw Sarutobi he was one of her nephews little brat tag-alongs, and she's so fucking bad at treating people their age, doubly so if she knew them as a kid.
It's,,, kind of demeaning actually, she should stop. (She will not.)
Anyways: play into her not just being Tobirama's aunt but also Hashirama's (her sister was their mother) which becomes fun bc Kakashi is her fucking grandkid!! Meaning he's also their fucking cousin!! Politics!! Implications!!!
At least one person is making a "of fucking course the boy genius is related to one of them" joke but like in an angry way (it's probably Obito)
Anyways I started this off with basically nothing for Haruka other than her name and I think she accidentally turned into a real character along the way (inevitable tbh)
Shes a DEEPLY flawed person actually, which I kind of love. She has a habit of belittling people and not treating them their age (absoloutley calls everyone even slightly younger than her 'kid')
Her views of childcare are totally skewed and she should not be trusted with any children other than Kakashi (it's ok he's literally built different, she can provide proper enrichment for him)
Edit: I DIDNT FUCKING MEAN TO POST THIS YET IM GONNA KILL MYSELF I WAS STILL QRITING IM GONNA END IT ALL TUMBLR I HATE YOU I HATE YOU
Shes so fucking full of herself and about to make it EVERYONES problem
The Cage we Build Sakumo being against child soldiers (and partly the village for allowing and celebrating them) is such a good fucking idea that I’m honestly mad I hadn’t thought it first. It would even contrast with how loyal Kakashi is to Konoha AND would honestly make Obito respect him even more than he already does. It’s perfect
Fic so good it has me drawing fanart for it literal hours after saying I no longer have the time or energy to draw things. My sleep schedule will regret this when I'm supposed to get up for work un 5 hours but my heart will never regret the pure joy the fic has given me. Worth it.

Hi bird! Will you be sharing your artfight attacks here?
I definitely will! Unfortunately tho, I've only been able to do two attacks so far, and don't know how many more I'll be able to do
I recently got a new job and they definitely lied to my goddamn face ab the hours they'd make me work (I'm currently stuck working 4am to 1pm - 4pm shifts) so that plus the hour long commute there and back + 6pm bed time (disgusting) means I haven't had the time or energy to do much but work and sleep lately. I used to be able to write and draw in corners at work, so I've lost a lot of my artsy time by changing professions,,,
Oh capitalism you disgusting thief of joy and livelyhood,,, Do you think this counts as part of the art fight curse or the ao3 curse? It's probably some horrible combination of both tbh.
But yes, when I finally (hopefully) get around to having more attacks, I'll definitely be posting some! I just have to not die first
BIIIIRD what IS your artfight username I can't FIND YOU
!!! OH HI THERE !! Thank u for ur interest, my art fight is @ The_BirdTM !
You can actually find me under most socials (instagram + discord + YouTube) as that username if u so choose ✨ (tho I haven't posted on anything but Tumblr in forever now so actually maybe don't do that bc it'll all be old oc things)
On, please share chibi Hikaku art. Don't let any Hikaku art stay server exclusive! There is already way too little Hikaku art as-is, would you agree? Anyway, I will love and collect him, I promise.
The Hikaku on a silver platter art made me chuckle warmly. He looked very cute. I reblogged it.
Well since u asked so nicely, I guess I don't have a choice but to share,, and yay thanks, I'm glad you liked the previous Hikaku art!! He's so cute to me <33
Anywho-- Tahdahh, last years Hikaku birthday art for @domoz! (And happy late birthday for this year btw!!):
WOULD THE CHAT (YOU) BE INTERESTED IN $15 TO $30 COMMISSIONS LIKE THIS????
OR THIS????
Traditional would be cheaper at $5 to $25-ish since it’s easier for me.
It COULD be mailed to you, possibly, granted that you pay for shipping????????? It might depend on how well I know you, which means it’d be mutual exclusive.
Uh!!!!
Yeah!!! This is an interest check!!!
INTEREST CHECK
I’m interested in digital
I’m interested in traditional
I’m interested in both
Interested but not able to pay rn
Not at all interested

Thank you !! You know, you seem like a very trustworthy person (with excellent taste), so can I ask you to hold my pet freak for a moment? He's very well behaved, promise, and I'll be right back so please don't worry too much!
Take good care of him, ok? No shenanigans! Thanks!
Im glad you like him !! I will forever credit my Hikaku fever to @domoz / @domoz-writes, the One True Hikaku Fan(tm), so if you feel like checking out some good Hikaku writing I highly recommend looking at their stuff!! Hand Over Hand Over Hand especially changed my brain chemistry forever when it comes to Hikaku and his characterization (Tho warning that it is uhh. Omegaverse smut. So. I mean. U get what u sign up for. (Obligatory minors don't click on that link please))
Actually super funny to me that Orochimaru pretty much just. Wins. By the end of Naruto. Like, congrats guys!! Hes officially immortal now!!
To me this means that every time I see a joke about how "it's the year 2098, and were watching soruto, son of goruto, son of horuto, son of boruto, son of naruto" Orochimaru is still just. There. Chilling.
Untill someone goes out of their way to specifically kill this guy (not out of the question tbh) he will, by default, just kind of be around for the rest of time in all Naruto media. Good for him, honestly
i want orochimaru so bad dat nonbinary lesbian could be 10067 years old wit erectile dysfunction and i'd be bouncing on it like a trampoline without springs
