naruto is bi in an aroace way and kakashi is aroace in a bi way. this of course you understand.

i just don't think that your approach to itachi's character is very nuanced.

i think that what i really really love about kakagai is that they are introduced in a way where their relationship is in a very stable position. it's preestablished as something that just Exists in the background of the rest of the story for the viewer to just accept as fact without a ton of context as to why it looks the way that it does, but it also isn't the sort of dynamic that leaves you with a ton of questions. it's just a sort of silly pair of characters who are clearly buddies and it's easy to just be like well they grew up going to school and training together. etc. like all the impact of kakagai is created retroactively so that when you first watch them interact you're just like haha these two guys are fun and silly. but when you rewatch them, with the additional context that is put into place long after you as the viewer have familiarized yourself with their dynamic as it is in the present, everything they do suddenly means something.

especially in a story like naruto which follows about a million tumultuous and constantly shifting relationships, there is something so beautiful to me about introducing a pair of characters who are stable in their dynamic and standing with each other but where readers are retroactively given the context that their relationship did at one point look the way that so many other relationships in the series do. but they grew and learned and with support from each other eventually reached the point where they are stable and know who they are to the point where their relationship isn't even the focus anymore. like idk. its possible to grow back together again because kakagai did it before the story even began. waaaaaaah

like i think the core thing that pisses me off soooo much abt ppl who talk about sasuke on here like omg he didn't even do anything wrong sasuke was right etc etc is that like. ok. whether or not you agree with his individual actions (OFC im a huge fan of killing danzo and orochimaru (objectively speaking) and crashing the kage summit), if you don't realize that he has little to no ideology then you are totally misunderstanding him. the tragedy of sasuke's character is not that he was doing things that are objectively terrible (although kishimoto thought he was writing actions that were), its that he doesn't have any sort of driving ideology behind him. he didn't just lose his way because he deserted konoha, but because he lost sight of anything in the world that could possibly be good. there's a reason it's so easy for orochimaru and the akatsuki and obito and itachi to lead him around by his nose! sasuke isn't a revolutionary or a freedom fighter or any of that, he's a very angry teenager who was fucked over by the entire world and doesn't know what to do about it other than commit acts of violence against the people he considers responsible. he doesn't have any idea how the government should actually be run. he doesn't have any idea what specifically exactly needs to be changed about the current structure of his society. thats fucking why he decides he wants to be dictator at the end dipshit
