I agree with you about Sasuke not needing a romantic relationship to be happy (BECAUSE HE DOESNT DAMNIT) but if you HAD to, who would you “pair him up” with? Love your blog (just found it) just wondering.
“Having” to pair him with anyone directly works against the concept of admitting Sasuke doesn’t need a romantic partner.
Everyone has ship preferences despite that, but here’s the thing, I’m not going to pretend to be a saint and say the ships I like are the perfect and most healthiest ships for Sasuke. I ship him primarily with Itachi-- because as awful as the relationship is, it’s at least a mutual obsession. With SNS the obsession is one sided and on Naruto’s side, that’s why I can’t stand it. Only Naruto benefits from it.
SasuKarin, SasuJuugo, and Sasusui are also some of my favorites, as well as Sasuke x Taka. Those are marginally healthier.
