11 & 13!

From Salty Asks

@jashfemwriter Thank you super for this!

11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

Yashamaru. (And Rasa, but I’m gonna focus on Yasha.)

Like I GET IT. Dude was instrumental to a fave's tortured and traumatized past by making him believe that his mother didn’t love him and yeeted himself out of this mortal realm with a set of paper bombs. Like I’m not calling the guy a saint or putting him up for best uncle awards--- but the vitriol sometimes of like-- Yashamaru being a two faced lying piece of shit human being. 

But the guy just lost his sister?? And we don’t get any information on any other relative so said sister might have been the only person who really considered Yasha family who knows! And at the same time, at 19 years old, he’s suddenly saddled with taking care of a premature infant who is also the host of Suna’s bijuu and who also doesn’tad  sleep (that’s like?? 24 hours duty for 7 years. I would BRP after two, maybe three days probably). Oh, and he’s also part of Suna’s Black Ops. As if he doesn’t have enough shit to deal with.

And I think the fandom focuses a lot on his last conversation with Gaara-- which is 100% valid. That’s okay.

Except for me-- Yashamaru is a guy who had a lot on his plate, and none of these are things he ever asked for. But tried his best for 7 years. And his best came from a place of goodness! He deals with the social stigma of taking care of a child (who doesn’t understand why people hate him) and when not ordered to do a certain thing or perform a certain test-- he decides to teach Gaara about love. About feelings. About pain. (Does Suna even teach this in general?) He puts himself in harm’s way in order to prevent Gaara from harming someone he didn’t mean to.

Again, to a lot, it might not matter because of what he said to Gaara before he killed himself. It might not matter that, through Rasa’s POV, it was clear that Yasha did try to advocate for Gaara.

But, this is my take on him.

13. Unpopular opinion about XXX character? (Sasori.)

I don’t know if it’s unpopular? 

The ability of human puppets to use the jutsus they had when the person was alive is incidental-- and not quite the reason why Sasori does it (I have other headcanons about how other people find more value in that but for another time.)

There is only one human puppet that, to my knowledge (and falliable is the knowledge I have), actually uses a jutsu they had when they were alive-- the Sandaime Kazekage.

I recall he had Uchihas in his 100+ puppets, but he never used their jutsus. Komushi in the anime didn’t. Mom and Dad puppets had weapons and not jutsus. Every other puppet was a mass of weapons and no other jutsus.

So, really, Sasori makes human puppets not for their utility in battle, absolutely not. But because of his own morbid reasons-- which may or may not (which does) stem from a desire to exert control over things he can, after having lived a life where he probably couldn’t.

🤗 Pull my muse into a hug - angelusdomina (you can choose which muse you think it suits best!)

@angelusdomina

There are few people Rasa expects to understand him on days like today. His children hold their own hurts, the older two with memories quickly fading with each passing year, and the youngest never knowing the loveliness that was his sweet mother. It is perhaps up to Rasa to keep Karura’s memory alive, but the affection she was always so adept at expressing is far from his forte, and how can he hope to measure up, when the shade of her love is no longer with them?

The anniversary of her passing creeps closer by the day, and the silence lingering about him is oppressive. It’s been two years. This should be easier. 

With the children safe at their uncle’s house, he can abide the quiet no longer… and he finds himself at the doorstep of a friend. Unannounced, uninvited, surely unwanted.

When Konan opens the door with a quizzical expression, he simply hugs her. And it’s too late to take the action back. Rasa suddenly wishes he had the excuse of being deep in his cups, anything to cover his weakness, but the relief of her presence is something unexpectedly wonderful.

“Sorry. I needed to see you.”

[akatdollie]

does your muse wish they were a different height? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sasori -

No. He finds being small is advantageous for a shinobi, who sometimes need to crawl in small spaces.

Third Kazekage -

No. He is quite satisfied with his size ;)

@jashfemwriter asked 7:

     Would your muse ever get married?

Hidan — despite focusing more on fighting and praying than anything else, he tends to have flings more than the average muse. He will get married if someone manages to stick with him long enough (without going insane). I wish them good luck, because Hidan doesn’t believe in divorce.

Jashin — least likely to be married, due to internal conflicts on the matter. However, he values monogamy so much that any relationship is pretty much marriage, regardless.

🔥 - go for it with those unpopular opinions!

@jashfemwriter

Unpopular Opinion: Uchiha Itachi does not have Microscopic Polyangitis

This has been an old fandom diagnosis for what mystery illness Itachi had. I personally don’t believe that Itachi had that. Actually, I go far into the opposite direction saying that he does not have that. For the following reasons:

Epidemiology

Honestly, it’s rare. It’s so rare-- it’s an orphan disease. It’s so rare, you only ever talk about MPA if it’s together with Wegener’s granulomatosis. Why am I fretting that it’s so rare? We learn early on in medicine--- if you hear hooves, think horses and not zebras.

Not only is it rare, if Itachi does have it, he doesn’t fit the usual kinds of people who would have MPA--- people who are older than 50. Yes, they still happen. But they’re extra rare since MPA is already a rare disease.

So, Amaya? Just because it’s rare and he doesn’t fit the profile--- doesn’t mean he can’t have it! There can be one person in the world with it and that can be Itachi!

Right you are--- which is why we go to the next bullet point.

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage: (med talk might get slightly more graphic. Proceed with caution)

The original post says that Itachi’s hemoptysis is because of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. I fault no one for this because--- highly unlikely that most people know what diffuse alveolar hemorrhage looks like.

If you do know what it looks like-- you’ll know that it’s 100% not what Itachi has.

What Itachi’s hemoptysis looks like: A few coughs and there’s blood. He breathes raggedly for about a few minutes. But he doesn’t look like he’s actively dying.

What diffuse alveolar hemorrhage looks like: The patient is coughing up blood. There’s so much blood. He’s still coughing up blood. The doctors put him on a stretcher--- his oxygen status is plummeting! 80′s, 70′s, 60′s. The doctors try to intubate but there’s so much blood in the mouth, they need to suction it out. They finally get the tube in. There’s still blood coming up the tube. They hook the patient to a mechanical ventilator--- there’s still blood coming up in the tube. The blood gushes out many times, enough for the tube to unhook from the ventilator.

This is the usual chest x ray

Two very different kinds of “hemoptysis” 

This is the alveolar hemorrhage usual chest x ray. It’s almost all white

Ocular symptoms

This one is, again, another symptom that was mentioned but was not what the post defending MPA described. Retinal hemorrhage. Retinal hemorrhage occurs at the back of the eye--- at the retina. You’ll need a special device to see the back of the eye.

Hence, bloodshot eyes from Itachi are not retinal hemorrhage. At most, they are uveitis or scleritis.

But at the same time, you don’t need to fit this into a diagnosis if the Magenkyo has already been established to not be good for the eyes.

This is what Retinal Hemorrhage looks like

There are other illnesses that fit Itachi way better than MPA does. We don’t have a legitimate person we can run tests to to exclude the other diagnosis--- so this opens the idea for having whatever Itachi’s disease may be to be chosen for is narrative significance.

Many can be considered with the list being a lot more than TB, SLE, viral perimyocarditis, pneumonia, lung cancer, paragonomiasis, sarcoidosis.... etc etc etc

Send 💚 for an Eskimo kiss - angelusdomina

Send a Heart for a Specific Kiss!

     @angelusdomina ♥

     It wasn’t a position he thought he would ever find himself in, truth be told. Someone had set up mistletoe all over the damn hide out, and now, looking very awkwardly down at Konan, he wasn’t sure what he was supposed to do. He felt the eyes of their comrades on them, like they were expecting something grand to happen. Maybe they were expecting Konan to kill him, or expecting him to pull a bah-humbug.

     Instead, Kakuzu carefully took Konan’s chin between his thumb and forefinger, and leaned in carefully to rub the tip of their noses together. A kiss from another land-- nothing too terribly intimate that would make them both uncomfortable.

     He pulled away, and let go of the breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding, and then dropped his hand away from her face. He had no intention of making her feel forced or uncomfortable. Not that she couldn’t kill him if she was uncomfortable... Regardless, he didn’t feel right putting her in that position in the first place.

     “I hope that wasn’t... invasive.”

For the madeup fic title...Candlelit Secrecy?

Ooooh, I like that title. I think I would write a modern au where the Akatsuki are all friends from college and haven’t seen each other since graduation as they got scattered due to jobs, or continuing their education at other schools in other cities. 

They plan a winter trip to get back together and they end up getting stuck in a blizzard and the power goes out. There’s candles they use at night for light. 

It’s cold without the heater, so some of them sleep on the floor by the fireplace, while others try to sleep on their own in the bedrooms. Konan is freezing but refuses to sleep on the floor next to Hidan or Deidara (they snore and drool and someone, she isn’t sure who, needs to put on a clean pair of socks lol) so she creeps into bed with Kakuzu. They had dated in their senior year but he got a job offer in another city and she wanted to stay and earn her masters degree, so they ended up breaking up though neither had wanted to. 

They end up getting back together, and warming each other up nice and toasty with a couple of candles burning on the dresser across the room. They of course know how to keep quiet so no one hears and after they talk quietly about who is going to move, and who can try to get their company to transfer them to the others city and how much they missed each other. 

(I love this ship, it’s really become a favorite of mine.) 

Or........ I might write a historical au where the Akatsuki is a political movement that is attempting to rise up against the government that they feel is oppressing the population and they meet in the middle of the night in a dark basement, lit by candles as it is illegal for them to gather in groups larger than three. 

And they discuss their plans, their goals, how to recruit new members to their ideals and how they will overthrow the government. 

( I like the first one better, but I did picture them all meeting in a smokey, dark basement whispering about how to overthrow the government)
