Naruto talk : Takigakure
I think Takigakure’s/ the land of waterfalls real world comparison would probably be Korea or Thailand. And i know those places are like 2000+ miles apart so don’t eat me alive before i explain. What brings in the Thailand comparison for me is pretty simple; its a watery place, there aren’t streets per say in some places of taki, just rivers. There are a lot of Buddhist temples and everywhere is rice fields and flood plains and houses built on steep slopes to avoid the floods and tides. Everyone in taki knows how to sail before they’re allowed out after dark. There aren’t many beaches in taki, mind you since the rivers just tend to meet the land with no in-between.
However what drives the Korea comparison for me is literally anything else. I think Taki food is like Korean food. There are Taki’s main exports are 1) Cosmetics and 2) herbs and medicines : their climate is so wet and warm its essentially a rain forest. Anything and everything will grow in taki and grow in excess. If you want good skin or good medical care you get your ninja ass to taki.
I wont start saying about taki politics because i don’t know enough about korea or Thailand to know what im talking about.i will say they probably dont elect people so its sort of a monarchy but not ??? village leaders are born into it but they arent royalty. They are clearly a bunch of assholes in taki though judging by how no one went looking for Fu.
Lets not even discuss the horrible punishment on kakuzu being like the kind of shit you see in north korea because if i do start talking about it im going to cry because kakuzu did not deserve that.

every now and then i get a good idea for a naruto meme then forget about naruto for another couple months
you know it’s very sad that Kakuzu can’t wear that I’m a luxury…… few can afford sweater. he needs backless shirts to let his babies breathe
@ckret2 your brain is so huge
I was toxic to some, I was a blessing to others. Others I healed, others I hurt. I'm willing to admit that I wasn't always right.
i wish everyone who makes up lore and intricate storylines for poorly written / under developed / side / minor characters a very pleasant evening
“A mother and her child.”
And she’s done! This was so fun to draw I’m really happy with how this came out.
Technically she has two elemental beasts but this one here is her “favorite child”. I’ll definitely go more in depth about their abilities once I finalize their designs but for now enjoy this little drawing.

WIP | “A mother and her child.”
One day I’ll learn to stop making so many WIPs in a day... one day... maybe not.
I was having "that 'Alucard vibes' feeling" and it went in wrong direction
How to survive in the Land of the Water: mist and demons
The Hidden Mist is a place of mystery. Islanders who met bloodliners and counld not explain them, made stories about what they learned: Demons come from water and return to it, demon who appear and kill without a word.
Zabuza the Demon of the Mist, and Kisame the Monster of the Mist are not just titles, they are honorary terms: finally a demon quantifiable enough to have a name. Just follow the laws: Don’t step in puddles that lay on the road after three days of dryness. When there are hand-prints in the wet beach, don’t follow the trail. When strangers show a sharkteeth smile, only smile back with your mouth closed. Don’t pry. Go away as soon as possible.
Never, never, insult anyone - you don’t know what you are insulting. Be polite. If you stick out your tongue to the wrong person, you tongue is all what remains
Should you find an Odd child all by itself, then ignore it. Ignore it as good as you can. If you’re trapped, show it kindness. Poison it (a few crush leafs of Bluebark will do). Or wait until it’s asleep and slit its throat. Make sure no one else saw. Never tell anyone. It’s the only way to keep them from multiplying. It’s the only way to fight back.
Adhere to the laws. Ours, and theirs.
Only when there is no, no other way at all… then go to the shinobi.
To find them, ask your lords or innkeepers. Write a will. Let the shinobi find you. If you go looking for their village, you won’t find it. The few who returned alive said they only found it by accident.
Have enough money. Pay half now, the other half later. You can’t always rely on them. You don’t know if you are dealing with the purefolk, or the dirtbloods. Sometimes both are so cruel there is no difference. Never try to trick them.
If you need shinobi, go to Konoha, the scorching invaders. Yes, they burned our boats and our bridges. They killed our leaders and they have laws that keep us in poverty. But their ninjas are reliable. The only thing you need is a lot of money. Because not even the ninjas of the dryland will enter the dangerous Fog Isles.
Mind your own business, like any other citizen of the Land of the Water.
When you see something in the white mist, pretend you saw nothing.
Writing Body Language
How to Improve your writing
This is something that happens every day in your life. A shift of your eyebrow in skepticism, or the way your lip may twitch to a half smile cause you’re trying not to laugh. These behaviors are vital for writing in character, because not only do the allow you to visually see what is happening but it is also reaffirming whatever emotion your character is showing.
So why should you write it?
Much of human communication is non-verbal which means you need to also translate this non-verbal reaction in a post. It allows you to greatly enhance the emotions of another character and always another person to ‘visually’ see how they feel in a post. Most of all, this will add depth and volume to your post to make it feel more real. IT will make your character feel like a human instead of just another fictional person you look at from above.
Below you will find a list different type of emotions and what sort of body language can be exhibited to them.
Three ways to accent an action.
When writing about emotions, there are different ways to verbally write them out. Each one is unique in their own way, allowing you to show more about the emotion.
Emphasize the Emotion. But doing this, you are expressing both the emotion and the body language. We’ll use a simple example. It’s short and simple yet you can sense he is happy. John felt so happy that he was humming a tune while walking down the hall.
Complicate the Emotion. Sometimes, even when you are feeling one emotion, deep down rooted underneath the facade of it all, there is actually an underlining emotion they feel. This is something you have to truly express otherwise no one will know. John felt so happy that he was humming a tune while walking down the hall. However, it was obvious by the way his nose crinkled that he was disgusted by the actions beforehand. Instead, John covered it up by appearing pleased today.
Contradict the Emotion. This is a little different than complicate. Contradicting means that you are claiming one thing when in fact its the other. In many ways, this has a variety of uses, from inner depth of the truth to what you see in person, or someone creating a wall. It could be considered a lie, but when is anything that easy? John felt so happy that he was humming a tune while walking down the hall. In truth, once he was in the classroom, his shoulders slumped and a pout crossed his lips when no one was around, showing just how displeased he was with the situation.
Remember that you do not always have to contradict or complicate anything. Sometimes all you need to do is emphasize and that will be just fine. You don’t always have to have an underlining complicated for an emotion to make it more enhanced.
Do be afraid to use the Thesaurus to also improve an emotion. Such things as “happy” is a nice emotional word, but think of how much more powerful it is when you heard some is “overjoyed” or “content.” She how these emotions matched up with a body language can give two different styles of happiness? Mix and match to find what works best for your character at the time.
