"Bitter-sweet" by @maireyart & @cool-thymus

Sharing obkk daydreams is our beloved hobby, and, for once, we decided it would be fun to draw page by page together and see where the story goes. It started with a very bitter Obito...

Bonus:

The next day, Obito was self-assigned to his personal S-rank mission to find the man of his dreams who treats him to dango (S-rank for Sukea). P.S. Tenzo is the one who is bitter now.

Thank you for reading! <3

Another one! 🍂 Are there popular obkk fanons that you do NOT resonate with?

Sure, keep 'em comin! 😂

Ah, well...yes? But context matters. When it comes to an AU, I'm pretty open to most interpretations because I'm a proponent of upbringing and circumstance changing characters. I think my own obkk dynamics change a lot fic to fic, and I've touched on some of what I'll mention because of that. But when it comes to canon-compliant or fanworks very close to canon, there are some I'm less likely to vibe with that I think are pretty popular.

Obito obsessing over Kakashi. I don't mean fixating, or the visits to the memorial stone, but when he's hardcore obsessed, hyper-focused, nothing-else-in-the-world-matters.

Kakashi's devotion to Obito being stronger than his devotion to the village.

Codependence. I'm more okay with this one because they do have some standard signs of codependence, mainly from Kakashi's side, but some of those symptoms aren't specific to Obito and are more generalized, like minimizing his wants and needs for the sake of others. In canon, they barely interact before the mask comes off in the 4th war, and a lot of his behaviour can be attributed to other mental health issues he might have. I also just prefer their relationship to be a positive influence in their lives, even if it's not all sunshine and rainbows and still has some dysfunction.

Obito being completely deranged. I feel like it places him in a box, and also doesn't match with his behaviour in canon. He has mental health issues, and we all know he's delusional. He can be cruel, and heartless, and violent. But I never got the feeling that he'd "lost it." He knew where he was, what he was doing, and what he was fighting for. Obito makes a bad decision that leads to a lot more bad decisions. He does terrible things. But this and that don't really mean the same thing, you know? So I tend to avoid fanworks with that interpretation unless it's heavily AU.

I think those are the main ones? I don't hate any of them, and I think they have their place. It's cool that we can all look at these two sad men and interpret them in different ways! These are just some of the things I'm less likely to gravitate towards.

Hey! 👋 22 + 23 for fanfic reader ask 🤭

22: The funniest fic you've ever read.

This one is hard since I don't tend to gravitate towards lighthearted fics but out of my most recently read I would say 'Love will Find You (This Is A Threat)'. Overall it's mostly angst but there are some golden character moments that always leaves me smiling!

23: Is there a fic that feels more canon than canon?

hmmm I would say the 'You Were Here' series by mabledonut and 'komorebi' series by tomorrowsrain!

Thanks for the ask!

(If no one has asked this yet) I'd love to read your takes on Obito too  ☺️ I never get tired of him :D

I finally go to it! Thank you for this ask, I can spend hours talking about Obito.

How I feel about this character.

I’ll start from the very beginning. I got into Naruto in 2008-2009. In a few chapters of the first part of Naruto, Kakashi mentioned someone by the name of ‘Obito’, and you know, I was already intrigued by Kakashi’s speech to Sasuke that everyone he loved already died and that got me wondering if/when/how his teammates would ever appear. Then Kakashi Gaiden appeared.

I was flabbergasted with Kakashi’s way of being, I mean what a stark contrast to how we as readers met him and got to know him. But Obito, oh he conquered my heart immediately. The way he was introduced (a bit clumsy, late, his excuses) oh man, what a cute kid. I love his design, his energy, his stupid fights with Kakashi, his interaction with Rin, and his ideals. What a powerful character he was. That crucial fight with Kakashi that turned Kakashi’s world on its axis, what a beast, he truly was not afraid to fight for his ideals and to put someone in its place.

I was so invested into the theory that the mysterious Madara was in  fact Obito. Chapter 599 hit, and I swear I was so happy, shocked, excited. My fave was alive! I was such a believer that it would have been anticlimatic would it have been Danzo, Izuna, Shisui, Madara or anyone else really. 

He’s a very grey character to me, who’s sadly misunderstood by this one sentence ‘because you let Rin die.’ It doesn't do justice as to why he became who he became. He was a big hearted kid, went through a near death experience, got locked up in a cave with monsters and a madman , was in pain, and the only thing he thought of was to return to Rin and Kakashi.

He fought tooth and nail for what he believed in. But alas, Madara and the wars fucked him up.

Fun fact: back in 2008-2009 I started searching the internet for fics about Team Minato, but Minato didn’t have a name yet so it was either ‘Team Arashi’ or ‘Team Yellow Flash’ if memory serves right! There were just a few select ones on LiveJournal and fanfiction dot net.  

TLDR: He’s my fave character of all time your Honor. 

Btw, I had to look it up in the manga, but this right here is what made me fall in love with him. This. "Then lead!" For me, the Kakashi Gaiden arc was (next to the wave arc), the most telling and heartfelt arc in Naruto.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Kakashi. I’ve been shipping them since Kakashi Gaiden :/ This is the one couple I keep shipping. I can't get rid of them despite my best efforts.

Rin, sometimes. I think it could work under some circumstances but in recent years I haven’t been shipping them.

Kisame. I mean he’s even more of a beast than Obito. Need I say more? And Kisame was loyal to him. I like to believe Kisame was the one in the organisation Obito trusted out of anyone.

Kakashi and Rin in a polypairing. My OT3.

Konan, sometimes, but not in the way of ‘enemies to lovers’, but more like ‘enemies with benefits’, in a toxic, unhealthy way.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Rin. Although I can ship them romantically, I like them better as besties and partners in crime. I think she’s the one who just gets him and can bring out the very best in him with her way of just being there for him. 

My unpopular opinion about this character

It wasn’t ‘just’ Rin.

He’s the strongest. He defied death so many times with pure, sheer willpower, anger and all other things mixed in. The guy just kept going and going.

Let the man live at the end of the series.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

the whole speech with Naruto. I mean what was that? No, just no. It didn’t do it for me. I wish Kishimoto had done that differently. 

I wish there were more moments between Kakashi and Obito in general, but I got fanfiction to quench my thirst.
