Wow! I would have never considered ObiOro as a ship before I saw your art. Do tell, how did you come to ship it? What about the ship appeals to you?
Oh boy where do i even start.
1) i recall someone once said âshipping characters who have literally no interactions in canon is fun bc you get to come up with all the dynamicsâ and well i finally Fully Understood how true this was
2)Â it all basically started from âno one dies/things go differentlyâ au, bc we just wanted to see how charasters would interact w each other & things could turn out
In this one oro doesnât become nukenin and stays in konoha, YET. of course that does NOT mean that he suddenly is a good guyJiraiya happens to be in the village when the Team Minato Accident tm happens, so instead or lamenting he investigates with the help of oro who has a net arount the whole country
and eventually they- wow, they find madaraâs hideout
obitoâs case is very unusual for medic nins to take care of, so orochimaru is entrusted to take the boy out to his labs, since he is the most proficient one with everything that concerns Senju genom and cells
obitoâs been an orphan, and not quite âusefulâ for his clan, they âburiedâ him what seemed like almost a light heart, so he decides to stay in the labs for uncertain time until he finds a place to liveMOREOVER jiraiya is very fond of him! since he believes him to be the child of the prophecy, because the boy has both uchiha and senju blood in him, akin to the sage of six paths haha and he hangs around oro a lot too!mostly to keep the shady bastard in check, but there are⊠other reasons as well
funny how all of the story was developed AFTER the ship was born, bc it all started from a Really weird dream which i woke after like âwow they totally should bang"Â
i discussed it w a friend as a joke at first, but then we just fell into it head over heels
like, we hc obito as a huge polyamorous wreck who had a crush on Both of his friends and SUFFERS A LOT
orochimaru looks after the youth from time to time, and Of course he has his reasons, since his hashirama cells studies were banned for ethical reasons, and obito is now the only source of scientific research
Ah, plus sharingan as well
but the youth mistakes all this for the good heart and an actual will to care about him
this might seem pretty valid since kakashi used to be very cold and distanced as well! yet obito adored him with all the heart
so the TWO STORIES FALL SHORT from each other here, except the two concepts of relationships are almost diametrically opposide
Orochimaru is a war veteran, respected by the authorities for his talent and devotion, he is almost 30 years older than obito and at some point even serves as some kind of mentor to him
They talk and share their experiences a lot, though their views at the world are practically opposite but it makes the exchange even more interesting
i must state the feelings between them are Purely one-sided, orochimaru really doesnât strike me as a person capable of sincere affection towards anyone, obviouslybut he uses the boy to his own benefit, not actually minding the poor substitute of a relationship between themYet obito is too naive to see through this, and he clings onto this bond (orochimaru doesnât even consider them being an an *actual* relationship, bc he simply believes that he never even *needed* one)
3) After all, even given all this subplot to this, this is not a matter of âcanonâ but pure taste like âwow i have these two favourite characters what can i do to themâ
4) Weâve been brewing content non stop for a year now so there is an awful lot of AUs as well as unposted strips, comics, fanfiction and many other things, BUT! there are some glimpses of slightly abusive patterns so i never upload it into the open sources in order not to hurt anyone accidentally!
But if youâre interested you may hit me up anytime, ill bury you in tons of self-indulgent content
