I walked into the GCPD and went to the front desk to be greeted by Officer Cash. “Hey (Y/N)…he’s in the holding cell.” Cash said as he nodded his head to the large rogue filled cell. “Thanks Cash.” I said before walking over to the cell. Harvey and Oswald were near the door to the cell. “Hey Harv.” I said quetly making Harvey look at me and nod in acknowledgement. “How’s he doing?” I asked causing him to shrug and move aside to show who I was here to see. Sitting on the floor rocking back and forth as he looked around with terrified eyes was Scarecro, or the man behind the mask, the man I came to love, Jonathan Crane. I sighed as I watched him for a few minutes until Cash came over. “Sorry to make you wait.” he said. I could only shrug. “It’s alright. I know you’re busy after everything that’s happened.” I sighed as I played with my sleeve. “Can I ask you something?” Cash said while reaching for his keys. “Sure…what do you want to know?” I asked, my gaze shifting to him with curiosity in my eyes. “What do you see in him (Y/N)? You could do a lot better…you spend more time here than out there…why do you stay with him?” Cash asked as he found the right key then looked at me, but it wasn’t just him, I could feel the eyes of everyone in the cell on me (aside from Jonathan of course). “I see everything he is and everything he could be…good and bad. You said I can do better and while that may be true I don’t want better. As for why I stay…I’d rather be here…Cash I want to see him better, I really do. I don’t know if this will help that but I want to be here because he really has no one else when it comes down to it.” I said as I looked back at Jonathan as Cash nodded. I could tell he really didn’t understand but he didn’t ask anymore questions as he opened the door and let me into the cell for me. “Do you really mean all that?” Stagg asked making me look over at him as Cash closed the door behind me. Stagg’s voice was a bit shaky so I knew he was nervous. “I mean every word of it.” I said before I walking over and kneeling down in front of Jonathan. “Hey Jonny.” I said as I gently took his hand in mine and brought them away from his face then his eyes shifted to me and calmed slightly. “(Y/N)?” he asked quietly, his voice shaking slightly. “Yeah it’s me.” I said kissing his cheek. “You’re still here…you came back.” he said holding my hand tightly making me smile a little. “Of course Jonny. I always come back.”
In my tenure as a Helluva Boss fan, I've noticed something that cannot be easily overlooked--
Stolas is probably the most divisive character in the Helluva Boss fandom.
Unlike certain other characters in certain other spaces, though, some of the ammo against Stolas is just downright unfair. Genuinely, it seems as though there's a lot of ammo against Stolas by his antis.
Saying that he was "abusive" to Blitzo in their relationship together; even though the entire thing was an even-handed conflict, with Blitzo having his own fair share of insensitivity towards Stolas.
Calling Stolas a "bad father towards Octavia"; it's true that he's not a perfect parent, but compared to a lot of the other parents in the Hellaverse, his own dad included, Stolas is practically a saint.
On a related note, the accusations of Stolas being "favored by the narrative", "never facing the consequences of his actions or taking responsibility for them"...
They make zero sense to me.
From what I've seen, he's been called out by both Blitzo and Octavia for his thoughtlessness and lack of overall consideration.
"You spring this feelings bullshit on me, are you fucking kidding?! Can I get a fucking minute to think after everything you put me through, you pompous, rich ASSHOLE?! Treat me like one of your little butler imps? You can't just dismiss me like that! I mean, you royal fucks think you can do this EVERY time. Like you can just play with our feelings because we're smaller and not as IMPORTANT! Well I'm not letting you, bitch. LET'S GO."
"You lied to me! You said you would never leave me. You promised! ...It was your choice, you chose him. ...I do understand. I understand we were never enough for you! You never loved mother and you don't love me, you love him. ...So does that mean you just stayed miserable because of me? Was I some fucking obligation? Is that why you didn't even hesitate when you got a chance to leave? ...I can't. You lied to me once, you'll do it again. Have a great fucking life with him, dad."
The latter moment is particularly impactful because it explicitly shows Stolas getting punished by having Octavia break away from him for the time being. The narrative never calls her out on this either, so that should count for something, right?
As for the whole "accountability" thing, Stolas shows that he is capable of feeling guilt for the harm he causes as soon as it becomes clear to him.
For example, when he sang All 2 U...
He sings this ballad in the midst of his furor over the fights he had with Blitzo lately. Despite everything, Stolas partially blames himself for the entire ordeal. These two lines are particularly telling:
"But maybe it's all on me
For missing every sign and every glance and every turn"
As well, look at where his mental well-being was in Sinsmas, when he was off his meds--
"WHAT A FUCKING IDIOT I AM! THIS WAS SO STUPID! I CANNOT BELIEVE I COULD BE THIS FUCKING STUPID!! I RUINED EVERYTHING! MOVE, YOU SHITTY DESK!! And I did it for what? These stupid, foolish fantasies?!"
As well as after Octavia blew up at him.
"It was all my choice. I caused all of this."
You hate Stolas for what he did and what it caused? He's not ignorant of all that, and that guilt is fueling his depression.
Thankfully, he now has Blitzo to fall back on... although it might not be enough, despite what Stolas wished for in the past.
Another misplaced criticism of Stolas is that apparently, we can't feel sorry for him because he's "privileged".
Do people not know that "money" and "status" don't equate to "happiness"???
Simply put, Stolas' life sucked. And it still does.
Some important points:
Stolas is canonically gay, yet he was arranged to be married to a woman who's a Class-A bitch. An abusive one at that.
Stolas grew up surrounded by people who weren't much better. Octavia was probably the only positive connection he had made in life. It's why we still feel bad for Stolas, even though Octavia's anger with him was justified.
Mastermind and Sinsmas shows Stolas hitting rock bottom and losing everything, part of it thanks to the manipulations of Andrealphus, his incredibly conceited ex-brother-in-law.
And even though Stolas is finally starting to build a genuinely positive relationship with Blitzo, like he wanted before, as I said, it won't be enough to get Stolas out of his slump.
...
Stolas is one of my favorite characters in the show.
He's an incredibly sad character who's easy to feel sorry for, and for all his flaws, he just wants to do some good for the people he cherishes.
It hurts to see people hate him and downplay the more sympathetic and positive sides of his character in the name of calling him out.
Dear Stolas fans,
What do you enjoy about Stolas? How do you take to the complexities of his character?
Gotta love how Stolitz is like... childhood friends to strangers to transactional fuckbuddies of the kinky kind to exes to *almost fucking die for each other* to roommates to "omg omg are we about to kiss rn 😳"
"Pretty sure we're soulmates or something but we took the wrong directions on that trip, and now we're hitting all the major landmarks in the wrong order, and also I'm pretty sure we just drove off a cliff, but we're also pulling each other out of this wreckage and crawling to our destination if we have to."
This bit of prose hit my brain so hard it created a fever dream of a road-trip metaphor so here you go!
I was going to fully line and clean this, but the further I got the more I felt the sketchiness suited the vibe I was going for, so enjoy the mess!
You made it to the end so now I ramble!
I am not a comic artist. And the thing about comics is, if you aren't accustomed to the process of laying out panels in an effective way, it is extremely tough to tackle.
So for anyone wondering 'why didn't you just make it a proper comic, it'd be less space!' I hear you and you're right, but my illustrator brain simply did not have the energy 😅
But overall, I loved making this! It's always so fun to have little projects to chip away at and this made me eager to sit down everyday and work on it.
my favorite Stolas:
my favorite Blitz:
my favorite thumbnail:
(and my favorite overall panel is the first one) Thanks for enjoying!
Hi, are you planning to continue your work "Follow the Crimson Footprints"?
First of all, I am very flattered that you enjoy the story and I am happy you like it.
The short answer to your question is a simple, I don't know. The long answer is this: I have fallen out of the Naruto fandom while exploring others (currently, I am trying out Helluva Boss and enjoying it) as well as doing a full-time job at a hospital which leaves me little time to write. I actually do have an outline and the direction I want to go with the story alongside several notes, but I really have no time to just sit and write anymore, unlike when I was in college.
If inspiration and time let me, I just might continue it as I still have my outline available. But honestly, fanfiction is a hobby, and unfortunately, real life and bills come first sometimes. That doesn't mean I won't try when I have time. It just depends on what the future has. I'm sorry there isn't a more concrete answer for you.
Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:
1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.
2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.
3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.
4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.
5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.
6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.
7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.
8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.
9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.
10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.
These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.
Made this rewrite of the end of chapter 608 bc me and my friends wanted to see gai being the one to stand up for kakashi instead of naruto and just rip obito up. We know gai would’ve been seeing red at hearing him degrade his rival. (Plus it parallels baby gai trying to beat up those chunin for mocking his dad.) Reads Left to right bc i forgot to make it right to left whoopsies.
Will of Fire is a propaganda specific to Konohagakure, and not a long standing shinobi code of conduct. Whether one is a derivative of the other cannot be proven.
What exactly is propaganda? information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view.
Will of Fire being “To put Konoha, the large family unit, above oneself”. No matter the tragedy or problematic instructions. This is the nindo that drives Konoha nin to put the mission ( basically Konoha’s orders / benefit / stability ) above lives of themselves or fellow friends and family.
Where did Will of Fire really start? Wiki says “It would eventually become the life philosophy which Hashirama founded and the Senju clan lived by, which has since been passed on to many ninja from Konohagakure as a part of their spiritual heritage.”
Hashirama started this, him slaying Madara and having the audacity to frame it as something he had to endure, when the man was the most privileged person in his time and long after it ( Mokuton, god of shinobi. Shodai hokage, he was the winner in his generation, was he not? )
It’s misleading for him to frame it as a tragedy he had to go through when it was basically a necessity to protect the village from the onslaught of Madara’s attacks.
Despising / Killing friends & family for the sake of the village’s cause is not shinobi propaganda. Every clan in the era of Warring States would disagree with this. Killing enemies without question is definitely shinobi, but the Will of Fire as we know it transcends beyond that, and goes into a dark territory where the sacrifice of allies is correct, okay, and systematic, as long as it fed into Konoha’s stability, economy, whatever have you.
The Will of Fire is specifically used to push various agendas in Konoha, and it spread even to a personal level like Sakumo’s case, which then affected Kakashi - and resulted in his negligence regarding Obito, Rin.
Another example is Minato. He consciously chose the bigger picture over his team of children. As a result he failed them not once, but twice, resulting in the death of Nohara Rin, alleged death of Uchiha Obito, and Hatake Kakashi’s possession of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Namikaze Minato was rewarded for his efforts in the war, and became the Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure. It’s a little messed up and frightening if you stare too long at the pile of bodies Minato stepped on towards his position of power.
Jiraiya threatening to kill Tsunade, his teammate and someone he has a crush or interest in, if she ever betrayed the village. This is really vague. Would merely leaving the village also count as a betrayal, or must she do some actual damage to a Konoha citizen for it count as a betrayal? Let’s hope Jiraiya meant the latter.
The tight hold that the Will of Fire has on Konoha nin is inbred, snowballing over long years.
is Sakumo’s teammates despising him for saving their lives a generic shinobi propaganda? How did young people learn this age old shinobi propaganda? Is Kakashi’s rule following attitude and initial abandonment of his non-jounin teammates a generic shinobi rule/propaganda? Or was that a direct result of how Konoha nin treated his father & the consequences of that? Are there many governments outside of Konoha who order genocide over suspicions & shinobi just following it through without question?
Will of Fire is a propaganda specific to Konohagakure.
I really like this analysis and I'm so glad you wrote it OP. Especially since you can see how drastic the Will of Fire can be when put into a different context. On one hand, it shows that you need to protect everyone in the village because that unity and care for each other is strength... where on the other hand it has the ugly backlash of, if nobody conforms to the betterment of the village they are deemed as anomalies and must be dealt with accordingly.
I think, when Tobirama died and Hiruzen became Hokage so young while dealing with the fallout of the 2nd Shinobi War, he and his teammates took this context to the extreme and it morphed into true propaganda. And with the sudden transition of authority, the village was likely starting to flounder which helped fueled the need for this binding unification. All I'm saying is that Naruto is fascinating to analyze despite how ridiculous the world is sometimes- but that doesn't mean I still don't enjoy the show.
But also, f*ck Danzo and the rest of Konoha's council.
ok i’ve had this vague idea brewing of a gravity falls and omega mart mix type au, where basically obito moves away from home to this new town that’s super unpopulated and pretty old, because he j wants to live a quieter life bc the uchiha are a riot to live with.
the town is weird, plain and simple. like it starts off fine, a little quirky, but then immediately tumbles into
kakashi owns/is a cashier at the only store in town, a dinky little thing. he’s obito’s guide throughout the town and it’s dangers, but he’s uhhh def got his own things going on (“shit wtf is that?? hey kakashi where’d you go”)
rin comes in later. it’s revealed that she’s been working as a govt agent or whatever, trying to stop the spread of the town’s “weirdness” (its smth tangible—like source from omega mart. if u drink it or whatever, weird stuff starts happening)
which tangent to source or whatever i’m calling it here, but if crops r given it they can have some wild mutations and sometimes said mutations make their way into kakahsi’s shop. there’s no way to tell what’s mutated and what’s not until somebody inspects an orange to buy, sets it down, and dies three days later.
anyway! rin is also trying to find out what happened to sakumo, because he disappeared without a trace when kakashi was like 11 and they’ve been looking for him ever since. rin suspects that it’s got something to do with the higher-ups (danzō, hiruzen) but as it stands she doesn’t have any evidence
and that’s ab as far as i got LMAO i’m mostly into it for the weirdcore stuff
@kirpyee I like this idea, it makes me want to write something! But I'd curb it more into a Silent Hill/Alan Wake, or even a Control style for a slight horror flair. Especially with it being a small town where it's pretty obvious kakashi has something going on and obito just barges into this weirdness thinking it's a normal town.
Summary: Naruto informs Kakashi that he has invited his friends over for a sleepover at their ranch that night. Knowing he can’t do everything himself to get ready to host a bunch of kids, Kakashi calls in some help.
Warning wasn’t something that Naruto had given Kakashi a lot of that afternoon when he came running into the house after a long day of school and announced that he had invited his classmates over for a camping sleepover, tonight.
Any less warning and Kakashi might not have been able to secure any help for the night, leaving him to take care of all of the food prep, wood gathering, and other chores that needed to be done while Naruto took the trunk into town to get enough marshmallows to feed an army.
That was an understatement of course. It was more likely that they could feed all of Konoha with the number of Marshmallows he had bought. At least he had also thought ahead and gotten eggs and bacon for tomorrow’s breakfast, which Kakashi had no doubt he would be cooking.
Panicking over the amount of work that was being handed to him, and wanting someone there to help him out, Kakashi decided to call the best person to help him out for the night.
Gai had unfortunately informed him that he had to head into the city the next morning for a supply run, meaning Kakashi had to call his other best friend. An unpleasant call to make since he knew that Tenzo had planned to go to the lake tomorrow for a relaxing day by himself.
Thankfully with enough pleading and a promise to go to the lake next week with Tenzo, he finally secured some help for the night.
Which was how he ended up here. Setting up a bonfire for the kids while Tenzo and Naruto put out chairs for everyone.
“Did you buy enough non-marshmallow snacks?” He called over to Naruto, wanting to make sure that no one was left hungry tonight.
“I even made sure to pick up extra bags of everything for Choji,” Naruto beamed. “And I asked Choji to bring some snacks from the bakery, Sakura to grab some stuff from the general store, and Kiba’s even bringing some dog food because I told him it was the only way you’d let him pet Pakkun.”
This must be one of those ‘proud dad’ moments that Gai was always talking about.
Tenzo, on the other hand, didn’t seem as happy about Naruto’s underhandedness, judging by the unimpressed look on his face. “Some days I wonder how you two get along, and then moments like this happen,” crossing his arms over his chest he turned to glare at Kakashi. “Quit teaching him bad habits, Senpai.”
They both knew that was never going to happen of course. Kakashi loved teaching Naruto all of his worst habits. It ensured that there would always be someone in the village to mess with other people, even long after Kakashi was gone.
“I also asked Sasuke to bring some cat food,” Naruto added. “Once Kakashi Nii-san told me you were coming over to help. He said he could bring a bag of cat food that Itachi made himself. Something that your cats would love.”
Tenzo’s hands dropped to his side, a small smile pulling at the corner of his lips.
“I see,” his voice softened. “Still, you shouldn’t lie to Kiba to get free food for the dogs.”
“He’s right you know,” Kakashi added, smiling when Tenzo gave him a skeptical look. “But really it’s Kiba’s fault for believing you. Everyone knows Pakkun won’t let anyone pet him but me.”
Ok, him and Gai, and sometimes Tenzo depending on how nice the pug was feeling.
“Senpai, what did I just say about teaching him bad habits!?”
Resting his hands behind his head, Kakashi chuckled when Tenzo started to lecture him about the importance of friendship and trust. This wasn’t the first time he had gotten this exact lecture and there was no doubt in his mind that it wouldn’t be the last. Tenzo gave it to him at least once a week after he used his friends’ love of praise to get a free coffee or lunch out of him.
Meanwhile, Naruto continued to set everything up. Far too used to Kakashi and Tenzo’s arguments he had learned long ago to tune them out and keep doing whatever it was he was in the middle of.
It was simply better not to interrupt Tenzo, or one risked him dragging them into the lecture. Naruto was already lucky he wasn’t getting it alongside Kakashi since it had been his actions that upset the woodcarver.
“Oh!” reaching out, Kakashi placed one hand over Tenzo’s mouth to silence him and used the other to point towards the driveway. “Naruto, your friends are starting to arrive.”
Naruto immediately dropped what he was doing and turned towards the driveway, throwing his hands up into the air when he saw Itachi’s car pulling in beside Tenzo’s truck. “Sasuke!” He called out, running towards the driveway and leaving Kakashi and Tenzo to finish up with the bonfire set up.
Once everything had been set up and all of Naruto’s school friends had finally arrived, it was finally time to relax and enjoy the rest of the night. At least, enjoy as much of the night as one could while Kiba was sitting beside him trying desperately to pet the pug dog sitting on his lap.
“He’s going to bite you,” he warned, chuckling when Kiba continued to ignore him and narrowly avoided getting his hand chomped by Pakkun. “I told you.”
“He’s supposed to love me,” Kiba huffed, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring down at Pakkun. “All dogs love me.”
“Pakkun’s a picky dog,” scratching the pug behind the ears, Kakashi chuckled when he instantly relaxed into his hand. Forgetting all about the mean teenager who had been interrupting his relaxing nap just seconds ago. “You have seven other dogs to play with on this ranch. I don’t see why you’re so determined about getting Pakkun to like you.”
“All dogs should like me,” planting his hands on the chair, Kiba glared back at Pakkun from the corner of his eyes. “I’m a dog person. All dogs love me.”
Giving his head a shake Kakashi turned his attention back to the rest of the group and continued to scratch Pakkun’s ear. It was amusing to see Kiba continuously trying to win his favourite dog over, but at some point, the kid had to give up.
When feeding Pakkun treats didn’t work, it was a lost cause. He had chosen his favourite human and he simply wasn’t interested in anyone to who Kakashi wasn’t incredibly close.
“We should do something interesting,” Glancing towards Tenzo, Kakashi raised an eyebrow when he saw him staring at Naruto and all of his friends huddled around the fire roasting marshmallows. “It’s too quiet. Something interesting has to happen.”
And Tenzo accused him of being a bad influence.
“Mmm, and what ‘interesting’ thing would you like to happen?” Watching as Tenzo leaned in close, Kakashi listened to his plan carefully. A small smile pulling at his lips.
Catching the attention of the kids hadn’t been as hard as Kakashi thought it would be. With the simple mention of a ghost story, he suddenly found himself surrounded by excited, bright-eyed kids waiting patiently for him to tell them the story.
Now he just had to hope that Tenzo was ready to put his plan into action.
“The tale of old man Tobirama, hmmm. Well, I guess you’re all old enough to hear it now. But don’t come crying to me if you end up having nightmares for years about it.”
“Kakashi, stop teasing us and tell us the story already.” Naruto insisted, puffing out his cheeks and glaring at his guardian.
“I bet it’s not even that scary,” Sakura commented, acting like she wasn’t leaning in to hear better. “‘Old man Tobirama’. There probably wasn’t even anyone named ‘Tobirama’ in our village.”
Oh, boy were they in for a surprise.
“Well, in the case,” leaning forward, Kakashi planted his hands on his knees and smiled down at the group. “Let me tell you the story of old man Tobirama. The grumpy old guy who lived in the old Senju ranch and would cook up children for dinner.”
At the mention of the Senju ranch, he could see the kids already starting to shake.
“Long ago, before I was even born, the Senju ranch was full of life. With a large family, parties every weekend, and a garden that could make anyone jealous. They were known for having the best fruits and vegetables in all of Konoha, though back then the village was a lot smaller so who knows how good they were.”
He’d probably get smacked by Tsunade for saying it, but it was worth it for the giggles he got from his audience.
“For the longest time, the Senju’s lived in the village peacefully. Mingling with the other villages, trading their fruits and veggies for other goods that they could use. But then one day the Senju’s just stopped coming into town. It was like they disappeared. No one knew what had happened to them, but there were rumors. Little whispers that floated around the village about the middle child, Tobirama.”
Naruto shivered in front of him, Sakura slinked behind Ino just a little, and Kiba used Bull as a shield from Kakashi. So far, none of the other kids were showing much of a reaction except for prompting Kakashi to continue with the story.
“For years the house lay empty. No one going in or out. It slowly started to decay and rot from the inside, and the garden became overgrown. Surrounding the house with vines, vegetables, and fruits. There wasn’t an inch of the place that was accessible. After fifty years the villagers finally got together and made a decision. The house had to come down.”
“This is boring,” Sasuke interrupted him. The same unimpressed look on his face that he always had when someone other than his big brother was talking. “Nothing is even happening.”
Giving his head a shake, Kakashi reached out and flicked Sasuke in the nose.
“Hasn’t Itachi taught you anything about patience, brat?” he teased. “I’m just getting to the good part. Now shush.”
Settling back into his seat, Kakashi returned his hand to Pakkun’s head and took a deep breath. “Anyways, the villagers had made their decision. They found a group of hard workers to tear down the old building and started to gather all of the equipment that they would need. A week later the workers were ready to head onto the property and start with the demolition. They hoped that it would only take a few days, but as the hours passed by, they slowly started to disappear one by one.”
Sakura was now completely hidden behind Ino, and it looked like Ino wasn’t doing much better. Her face had lost all colour, and her eyes were wide with fear.
Naruto had slowly begun to inch away from Kakashi, using any of his friends that were readily available as a shield between himself and his guardian. Hinata was cowering behind her favourite hoodie, only her eyes visible.
The only people who didn’t look fazed by his story were Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Shino. None of which were a surprise given their personalities.
He just had to hope that Tenzo pulled through and managed to fix that.
“By the end of the day the only person left was a young woman. Desperate to find the rest of her group she searched the entire house. Looking in every bedroom, searching the yard and even the attic. But no matter how often she called out to them, or where she looked, she couldn’t find them anywhere. Finally, she was left with only one place to look. The old cellar under the kitchen.”
There were a few mummers in the crowd, and at least one ‘not the cellar’ spoken in a whisper somewhere behind Shikamaru.
“Pulling up all of her courage, she headed for her new destination. The door to the cellar creaked as she pulled it open, but when she peered down there was nothing but darkness. She called out to the others, but no one answered.”
Naruto shifted a bit closer to Sasuke, nudging his shoulder until the Uchiha finally gave in and threw an arm around him.
“Taking the first step down the stairs, she held her breath. The stories villagers had told her growing up swimming in her mind. Images of Senju Tobirama, a teenager with bright silver hair and angry red eyes, wielding a bloody ax in his hands. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get rid of those thoughts, and every step she took down into the cellar felt like it would be her last. But finally, she made it to the bottom of the stairs and reached out for the cellar lights pull cord, hoping to add some light to the room. Finding it in the pitch black, she tugged at it and…”
“She was met with the face of Senju Tobirama!” Jumping up behind the kids, Tenzo flashed the light under his chin and warped his face into the most haunting face he could manage. With wide creepy eyes, and his mouth hanging open with what Kakashi could only assume was ketchup smeared all over his chin, Tenzo sent every single one of the kids scattering. Screams filled the air, only slightly drowned out by Kakashi and Tenzo’s laughter.
If Kakashi had been smart he would have brought a camera. There was no way Itachi was going to believe him the next morning when he told him about the look of absolute terror on Sasuke’s face.
An Akatsuki Kakashi AU where he more or less decides that the world is too far gone to allow the mercy of an "infinite dream" then proceeds to make everyone suffer.
Or, a finished sketch started during a Physics lecture when trying to experiment with lighting. It's been an age since I've drawn anything, lol
Hi Ram. I like your art of Baron and Haru. We rarely get a lot of fanart of these two. Do you still accept art requests? If you do, could you please draw more fanart of flirty Baron with Haru? I think Baron being flirty to her is so funny.
Of course! Here you go
naaahhh lmao just kidding, here's the stuff
I still don't know how flirting works but I tried my best, enjoy!
