Oh maybe February has some sketches of Team Gai smooches...

lmk if there's a pairing you want me to check out! I'm aiming for a balance of platonic and romantic because I think Valentine's Day should include platonic love too!

#rock lee #neji #hyuga neji #tenten #team gai #dango crew #366 days of team gai #i would read student-sensei or large age gaps as platonic btw #like gai kissing his young students' foreheads goodnight :)#i also have a sketch of my OC kissing Lee's forehead and my boi deserves more!!#ne way #naruto #naruto pairings

After rewatching the Gaara arc in Shippuden I am once again obsessed with this pairing and reminded why I love it so much. Ugh, my poor heart and all its disappointments with this show.

@sasosakumonth I know it’s not part of any of the themes, but I mean it *is* that time again *wink wink*

I'm sorry, I know it's an old show, but could I get a Naruto matchup? I'm straight female with black hair and green eyes and I'm pretty thicc. I have depression and anxiety, I'm an introvert and REALLY quiet but when I talk I'm usually very sarcastic. In public I act cold and seemingly emotionless, so I come off as mean, but with my family I act basically like Chandler. I like drawing and reading, mostly old books like crime and punishment but I really like Harry Potter and Stephen King. Thanks.

I’ve never done a matchup but this should be fun!

I Pair You With…

Shikamaru!

And Here’s Why…

Being more of the quiet type in public but a firecracker when it’s just the two of you, he can really appreciate that

That means he doesn’t have to try all that much in public to make your relationship known, we all know how lazy the guy is

We also know his relationship with outspoken women though too

You being studious in terms of enjoying books is a real plus to him

He may be too lazy to read every now and then, but even he acknowledges the fact that there’s important information/knowledge that comes with books

Even if they’re fantasy/horror, books typically have a moral hidden underneath the text

That being said, some of his favorite dates are when you two go out and hind a nice place to just relax

He can cloud gaze (and maybe fall asleep) as you can enjoy your book

Or find a nice flower field in which he can still cloud gaze (lol) as you practice your art with the colors and movement of the flowers

Shikamaru enjoys your conversations at home

After all he was a prankster in his younger years and always getting into trouble

So your sense of humor makes him smile

He’s also glad that after some time, you’ve gotten to become friends with Choji, so your conversations are full of good food and good laughs

But even he understands sometimes it’s better to be alone

So if your depression ever starts acting up and you just need a break, he’ll still be there, but likely in another room and as quiet as can be

He doesn’t want to overwhelm you and he may joke later that he was glad to have a break from taking care of you, but remember he had a dark time too after his sensei/friend died

As for your physical body?

He’s “too lazy” to notice

But bring best friends with Choji he knows exactly how to treat you and make you feel comfortable about yourself

A Tidbit on SaiIno and Why Ino is the Winner of that “Competition”

(Disclaimer: This is purely an argumentative “essay” about why SaiIno is a good couple. Any other couple mentioned is simply utilised for comparison purpose, I have no hatred against any of them because canon is canon and I acknowledge what has been made)

Ino and Sai are perfect for each other. It’s so sad that they’re quite underrated, but the moments where they’re together are always perfect, thanks to Studio Pierrot (gotta give credits where it’s due). I’m irritated by people who insult Ino for marrying “knockoff Sasuke”, like, bruh, Ino got the BETTER end of the deal and it’s C - A - N - O - N. In Boruto manga, Ino clearly said that she couldn’t imagine having a marriage like Sakura where the husband rarely came home. It implies that Sai is a devoted husband who always comes home to Ino, this is impressive considering that Sai is the director of ANBU who’s sure to be quite busy as well, but he doesn’t make excuses not to come home unlike Sasuke. Boruto novel also stated that Sai’s only weakness is Ino, that shows how much he loves and respects her. Even when they have arguments, they make up pretty quickly and Sai even tried to reconcile with Ino by hugging her, how romantic is that? TT_TT Ino blushed so much after that, it’s so funny to see XD Sai has come a long way since his days as the emotionless killing machine of Root, and Ino still adoringly acts like a teenager-in-love upon being given affection by her husband although they have been married for years. Their relationship clearly makes them better person for each other.

If Sai is a “knockoff Sasuke” for them, then I want him too! Who doesn’t want to have a husband who loves and respects you so much that he refuses to fight with you, who comforts you when you’re worried, who always comes home to you, and with whom you can raise your children together? Sai is clearly that person and more, he always appreciates Ino and that’s a figure she needs as a life partner. (And come on, he’s not a knockoff Sasuke, the mangaka and animators even draw him differently now, so y’all can shut up about him being a knockoff Sasuke because he’s obviously not).

We all know Ino is very affectionate with people she loves, we can see it with how she protected Sakura, how she gave Sasuke sunflower (that symbolises friendship), and how she’s willing to go for a mission to save Shikamaru and Sai. Some people take this for granted, Sasuke ignored her, while Sakura broke their friendship off at one point for the sake of competing to get Sasuke although Ino didn’t actually wanted to end it -_- On the other hand, since their first meeting, Sai appreciated her (even if it was accidentally) which then later grew to genuine appreciation after being saved by her in Shikamaru Hiden episodes. Why would Ino choose someone who ignored her, such as Sasuke, when she got Sai who appreciates her the way she is? Sai wasn’t even willing to leave Ino alone to get lunch when she got hospitalized in Sasuke Hiden, it shows how he was THAT devoted to her. We also need to remember that now Ino is the Head of Yamanaka clan and the Head of Konoha Analysis Unit, as well as owner of her family business. She’s a very busy woman and it’s good that she’s got Sai as her husband who is as committed as her to take care of Inojin together.

Now let’s compare to Sasuke, whom some people often bring up when it comes to Ino’s romantic pursuit and “losing” from Sakura. IN MY VIEW, Sasuke isn’t a golden example as a husband I actually feel bad for Sakura for having to put up with that. Yes, he’s busy saving the world, but couldn’t he at least come home once a year to meet his wife and daughter, or even, communicate with them more regularly? To train his daughter so she could be prepared for the threats of the world? And, I still find it weird that he is set up to train Boruto, but like… what about his own daughter? He’s been a missing figure during those years, the least he could do is spend more time with Sarada :( (Sorry Sarada sweetie, you deserve better, and no, this isn’t an Anti SasuSaku jab because I love their daughter anyway-- without SasuSaku, Sarada wouldn’t exist). But well, Sasuke finally tried to make it up after YEARS, and thankfully Sakura still had the patience to forgive him, thus, solidifying SasuSaku’s relationship since their relationship works for them. This, at the same time, also implies that Sasuke might not be able to have a stable marriage with anyone else other than Sakura or Naruto (No, this is not a Sasuke diss, just saying that his shinobi obligation and personality are not easy to handle).

I don’t think Ino would put up with Sasuke’s “workaholic” tendencies, hence, that’s why Ino is better suited with Sai who actually comes home often because Ino wants a marriage which works that way. Imagine if Ino were Sasuke’s wife, they probably would have divorced now, lol. So yeah, the pairings are perfect the way they are because they suit the characters’ temperaments pretty well. SaiIno is perfect the way they are too and Ino isn’t a loser for wanting to have a marriage life that fulfils her ideals and getting together with Sai who could provide her with that than any other men. We can even say that Ino is also a winner for being able to move on and find happiness for herself in her career and family life. In real life we know that moving on to find someone who suits yourself better is a good thing, it’s the same case for Ino too.

All in all, I’m really happy for SaiIno / InoSai and I’m so glad that Masashi Kishimoto and team actually put some efforts to give Sai and Ino some moments that show their love in very obvious manner in the canon materials (yes, novels, movies, and anime episodes are canon too, so, shut up), despite them not being the MCs. SaiIno might start off as a crack pairing, but they later developed into a pairing who have significant romantic moments and they seem to be having the most physically-affectionate relationship from what has been shown (e.g. the hugging scenes in Episode 189 Shippuden and Episode 140 of Boruto). Ino got what she needed in her life with Sai, and Sai learned what he needed to have better relationships with Ino. It’s nice to see that SaiIno work together so well as a couple and I hope we can see more of them in the future.

On a side note: Let’s not talk about that pointless competition anymore because it’s very stupid to compete over getting a boy’s attention, Ino and Sakura have become friends again, and Ino doesn’t even care about it anymore because she already got her perfect husband figure in Sai who fits her life. Sakura and Sasuke’s marriage is intact and they’re still together as well, so, there’s really no competition to be fought over anymore. Nobody wins anything because relationship is not something you should compete for.
