PLEASE SOMEONE REQUEST JIRAIYA I LOVE HIM, SOMEONE PLEASE HEED MY HEART.
So. Anyway. I’ve got feelings.
Jiraiya: Look. I know he’s got faults. I’m not condoning the fact he’s a pervert. I’m just saying I love him. When he’s not being the worst type of pervert for laughs (which by the way fuck every creator who uses sexual harassment as a joke, it’s not funny and it shouldn’t be used to laughs. You’re sick and I hate you.) I admittedly ignore a lot of that character trait of his because there really is more to his character than just that. Jiraiya had a lot of hope for the future generation, he’s got some very endearing love for his friends and passion for the world even though he feels at times it’s condemned. Also just to further talk about the pervert stuff, I don’t mind someone who’s very sexually inclined or even enjoys women or men but the extent they play it up to is gross and I really wish they reeled back on it and let some of his other characteristics be at the forefront.
Kisame: Have you seen this blog? I love this man. I love sharks, I love big men and you present me with a large shark man? I’m sold. But other than that I do really love his character arc and his development, even though he’s got a very sad and dark past there’s a certain caring quality to him when he’s with Itachi and he’s got a dark humour I’m very into. I really like the depth of his character even though it’s lightly touched on.
Tobirama: So only recently have I started to like Tobirama. I hated him for a very long time because I really loved the Uchiha and I kind of just brushed by his character like ‘wow, dudes a dick, wanted them all dead, why can’t he be like his brother and not be an absolute dickwad?’ and I still have a little bit of that but I’ve come to understand his character more and appreciate that he’s a contrast to Hashirama and understand that you can’t just have lovey doubey characters because that’s not the way the world is. I’ve become more accepting that he’s a man shaped by childhood war and terrors and that he’s not a bad guy but a cautious one who wants to take a road that makes strategical sense and I’m surprised that I now enjoy writing him. and as a heads up I was requested to make a part two to my angsty Tobirama fic so look forward to that cause I do.
