ooooh #2 for the wip game????
2. worldbuilding can be romantic if u have anxiety trust
you don’t need to know anything about naruto to know i’m obsessed with two dead guys from there who barely affect the narrative. like. how did tobirama by himself get credited for establishing every system used post-warring clans era by the fledgling shinobi villages, while also helping his political disaster of a brother run their village?? who was kagami to him for mr stick up his ass to specifically compliment him for not going batshit crazy like the rest of his clan who max the trauma eyes out??? how much of that mess can i unpack in my typical short fic writer ways????
given that the few members of that clan we know have killed their entire clan and dragged the whole world into war to live in delusion…that’s not a high bar to clear i do not think kagami’s normal in the slightest !!!
umm anyways this started as a kagatobi bicker over the latter’s poor selfcare habits fic which i’ve alr written and am shamelessly happy to write again BUT i got sidetracked by what specifically tobirama’s holing himself up in the hokage tower working on so now it’s exploring how the shinobi academy was established, step by step.
BUT IT KEEPS GETTING LONGER i wanted a oneshot smt nice n easy i am glaring at the lads going “reconvince?” “reconvience.” and just getting their voices right is. explodes. terribly hard. why must they speak old timey why must that grate on my ooc-radar what am i to dooo i have like 3 versions of this fic and nailing the tone has been eluding me so bad.
that it blends like three separate headcanons doesn’t help but wtv !!! my life is a circus act and my clown ass is an ever faithful juggler. here’s a little bit from it !
