I know you have all been waiting for it! My very last Cosplay of the year, that I've actually managed to keep a secret for the past couple of weeks! Drum roll please! ... ... It's so stupid ... ... ... Princess Poppy from the Trolls Movie! I am such a child! The minute I saw this movie I just knew I had to be a Troll! I whipped up this bad boy in about 10 hours over 2 days! The petals on the bottom were a nightmare I'm telling ya! But I'm so happy with the end result! Even if I'm not painted Pink (because I can't body paint to save myself) I think the hair kinda gives it away! 📷 Gingee Cosplay & Photography - she was the only one who knew!

OCs are from Trapeze (Tora), Rule 3 (Ichigo), But I Don't Want to be a Sensei (Yanagi), Rediscovering (Jissai), and Akatsuki Senpai (Nozomi)
Might contain very minor spoilers depending on how you look at it
Jissai: Let go of me, you… runt!
Yanagi: Runt? I'm taller than you! If you're going to insult me at least give me the decency of actually trying to insult me.
Jissai: Why you…
Yanagi: Oh sure, attack an Uchiha who happens to be a powerful jounin. You only got your promotion based on being a survivor! You can't even fight correctly. Does Iwa hand out jounin ranks to everyone or are you just special?
Jissai: Take that back!
Yanagi: Why? Is the little lost Ink Brat getting mad~?
Tora: Enough! The both of you!
Yanagi: Oh, can it, Circus Freak.
Jissai: Seriously, I swear Sukki-sama wrote you just to be comic relief. There's nothing good about you.
Yanagi: We've been over this, defect, my story is serious than you sad attempt at crack. Even if my story is officially crack now it will always be loads better than yours!
Jissai: Funny, but at least Sukki-sama went up to 69 chapters on my story. You only got to 19 before she left you in the dust!
Yanagi: Yeah well those 19 chapters were all over seven pages long. Some of you chapters didn't even hit three! And my story actually has legitimate plot.
Ichigo: *sigh* Why does Sukki-sama torture us like this?
Tora: Because she enjoys it?
Yanagi: Better watch out, Tora-chan, Sukki18 still has your new story in her hands. She can easily torture you for talking bad about her.
Tora: Why do you care? I thought you'd like seeing that.
Yanagi: Pfft, I've seen the Script already. Trust me, I'll be satisfied with what Sukki18 has planned.
Jissai: You're not supposed to see the Scripts! That's against the OC Law!
Yanagi: And so is threatening to demolish my universe like you did last time.
Ichigo: Lay off it, both of you. Sukki-sama called us here for a reason, not to squabble like little kids.
Yanagi: Ha! You better enjoy the 'squabble' while you can, it's about to get worse!
Tora: …What did you do now?
Yanagi: Nothing, other than talk to Sukki18 about the reason why we're in here again. Unlike some idiots who just wonder about shit, I ask.
Jissai: Yeah right, you just take and shoot your mouth off at the people who say something about it. You're nothing more than a bratty law breaker!
Yanagi: Excuse me, but who's still the loyal kunoichi and who's the nuke-nin trash?
Jissai: Say that around Takami next time you see her, I dare you.
Tora: STOP. MENTIONING. SPOILERS!
Ichigo: You might as well give up, Tora… Yanagi will just reveal something big just to annoy you if you keep it up.
Tora: Or I could convince Sukki-sama to make Yanagi's life living hell for the next few chapters.
Yanagi: Why should she listen to you? You're the one she tortures the most.
Tora: But I'm also her oldest OC that's still alive, I have Sukki-sama's ear.
Yanagi: What is with you three and this 'Sukki-sama' thing?! She's the fucking reason why all our lives are shit and you treat her like your beloved queen!
Tora: Our stories wouldn't have been told without her there to present them to the public.
Yanagi: …I take it back. You don't treat her like a queen, you sound like your part of a cult.
Jissai: We are not!
Yanagi: Oh really? Then why do you call her Sukki-sama and willing to risk her anger if she annoys you?
Ichigo: Like you do anything of the sort, you're just disrespectful by calling her by her name.
Jissai: I was willing to risk her wrath if it meant killing you and your universe…
Yanagi: Empty threats like always, defect.
Tora: Both of you shut up! Yanagi- why is Sukki-sama bringing us here today?
Yanagi: …You told me to shut up, I'm shutting up. Sorry, can't talk.
Ichigo: Oh for the love of-! Yanagi stop being a moody brat and tell us so we can all go home.
Yanagi: *glares* Fine. Nozomi's story is being published today and Sukki18 wants us to make her feel welcome.
Ichigo: Really? That's great! I love it when the new OCs come in, they're so nervous around us older OCs; it's hard to believe that we were once in their shoes.
Jissai: Except for Ms. Grouchy Pants over here…
Yanagi: Seriously, you need to work on your insults Ink for Brains. I'm actually starting to pity you.
Tora: *sigh*
Enter Nozomi
Ichigo: Hi! Welcome to the Fourth Room of Sukki-sama's OCs. You're Nozomi right?
Nozomi: …
Jissai: Um… What story were your from again?
Nozomi: …
Tora: It's alright, we're all friends here… mostly. Just make yourself at home.
Yanagi: But not too much at home, imoto. Keep your sticky paws to yourself.
Nozomi: …I'm not your sister, Yagi-chan.
Yanagi: Watch what you say, brat!
Jissai: Sister? Your universes aren't connected, Yanagi's only blood family is Obito!
Tora: They're the new generation. Sukki-sama considers each generation of OCs to be a family. Technically you, Ichigo, and I are all sisters. Just like Yanagi and Nozomi are sisters.
Ichigo: And Takami when she's finally let out.
Jissai: Why am I the last to know everything?!
Yanagi: Because you've been retired for over a year, idiot.
Ichigo: Oh man… I pity you, Nozomi-chan… with sister's like Yanagi and Takami, you're going to have a hard time.
Yanagi: *glares* Hey, I'll have you know I'm not the worst out there.
Nozomi: Why? Because they're not nice? So?
Jissai: 'Not nice'!? Don't you know what Takami does?
Tora: I swear Jissai, if you say one more word about Takami…
Nozomi: What about her?
Yanagi: Yeah, Circus Freak, what about Takami? You make her sound like she's all big and bad.
Tora: *glares*
Ichigo: So… Nozomi-chan, what does your story entail? What's it about?
Nozomi: Loyalty and morality.
Yanagi: Tsk, why don't you stop reading whatever bullshit Sukki18 gave you and tell them what it's really about, Nozomi-chan.
Nozomi: I refuse to do what you command. You don't like Shisui-senpai and therefore I won't listen to you.
Tora: Oh dear…
Yanagi: Exactly.
Ichigo: Wait… I don't understand, what's going on?
Yanagi: This little nutcase is the definition of a fanatic and her sole purpose is to live for Shisui.
Ichigo: What's so bad about that? Shisui is a goofy idiot, it's not like Nozomi-chan can really be that bad. She might be a little like Kasumi in Rule 3 but that's it.
Tora: There's a paradox in Nozomi's universe that's different from the rest of us canon AUs.
Ichigo: …Do I even want to ask?
Yanagi: Shisui is in the Akatsuki.
Ichigo: WHAT?! But… how?
Tora: We can't discuss it in front of Nozomi, you know that! She'll create a butterfly effect if she knows her story before Fate allows her to.
Yanagi: Ugh, no talk of Fate. I get it enough from Takami.
Tora: Would you stop talking about Takami?! I'm going to ask Sukki-sama to put a ban on that topic if you keep this up!
Jissai: Okay, seriously guys, who is this Shisui?! You keep talking about him and I have no clue who he is!
Nozomi: Shisui-senpai is the strongest Akatsuki member. Nothing can beat him.
Yanagi: Quiet, half-pint.
Ichigo: Shisui is one of the few goofy Uchihas. He's this happy fun-loving guy who always has a prank up his sleeve. He's also best friends with Itachi.
Jissai: Wait… Genius Itachi? Stick in the Mud Itachi? The Stoic Jerk Who I Don't Prank for Legitimate Fear of My Life Itachi?
Tora: The very one. But in canon reality Shisui is, well was depending on which universe, a jounin from Konoha and the most powerful Uchiha in his clan. He… canonically died before the Massacre, many people think Itachi did it.
Nozomi: What Massacre? And who is Itachi? No one can beat Shisui-senpai, he's the strongest man there ever was!
Ichigo: …I can see where that 'loyalty' theme is going to be taking place in your story…
Yanagi: Well you see, imoto-
Tora: YANAGI! Don't. You. Dare.
Yanagi: *snort* Honestly, Circus Freak, you just leave yourself open. It's too much of a temptation to poke at you.
Jissai: Told you she does it just to mess with you.
Tora: *glares* Anyway, Ichigo-chan, I'm sure Sukki-sama will tell you if you ask about the paradox involving Shisui. Sukki-sama is pretty open about the reason to the readers, I think the reason is even revealed in the first chapter.
Nozomi: *glares* Stop talking over me like I'm a brat. You're only a few years younger than me!
Ichigo: Actually she's three years older considering her out-verse age. Tora-san is the oldest of us all.
Yanagi: Yeah, but as soon as the revamp of Acrobats hits she'll convert back to her 14 year old self.
Jissai: …I though Tora was 15 in her first story.
Yanagi: Changes, Inky, Sukki18 has made major changes.
Tora: Yanagi! What did I just say about the butterfly effects?!
Yanagi: To reveal everything just to annoy you.
Ichigo: Why are you so immature?! I've never met anyone as immature as you, not even Naruto!
Yanagi: Oi! You didn't know him as a twelve year old brat, don't you dare compare me to Dumbass. And besides, I'm called the Stupidly Brave Kunoichi of Konoha for a reason, Strawbatty.
Ichigo: DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!
Yanagi: Who's the immature one now?
Nozomi: You're all idiots and immature. All goody-goody two shoes; all powerless buffoons who will never know true strength.
Ichigo, Jissai, Yanagi, & Tora: *glares*
Yanagi: I'm starting to hate this brat…
Jissai: For once, I agree with you.
Tora: She's an immature kid, she'll grow out of it.
Ichigo: Normally I'd agree with you, Tora-san, but right now I'm siding with Yanagi…
Nozomi: Doesn't matter, I have no need for friends. Such relationships are a weakness. I am only a tool to serve Shisui-senpai.
Yanagi: Damn, she's worse than Haku!
Ichigo: I take that back, now I'm pitying her and ready to strangle this version of Shisui for making her think that.
Yanagi: I'll get the rope…
Tora: Oh! We can make him a pinata!
*silent stares*
Tora: What?
Yanagi: Since when is prim and proper Circus Freak ever offering to humiliate someone?!
Tora: *deadpan* It's Shisui.
Ichigo: …She does have a point.
Yanagi: Yeah, okay I'll give her that one.
Nozomi: How dare you threaten Shisui-senpai! He's better than all of you and would never fall to something so foolish as- Mmmf!
Jissai: Sorry, I couldn't take her rants. It's about as bad as Hidan when you ask him about Jashin.
Ichigo: Some welcome party this is…
Yanagi: Well if this is what the welcome parties are going to look like, might as well start planning for when we welcome Takami. I don't want to deal with her shit without some plan.
Tora: Yanagi! Stop!
Yanagi: *cackle* You leave yourself open too easily, Circus Freak.
OCs are from Trapeze (Tora), Rule 3 (Ichigo), But I Don't Want to be a Sensei (Yanagi), and Rediscovering (Jissai)
*casual explosion*
Yanagi: Damn it! I told you not to use so much flour!!
Jissai: Oh be quiet, Uchiha, it wasn't that bad!
Ichigo: I rather think it was, I can see why the Akatsuki won't let you near the stove anymore.
Yanagi: See, even the Strawberry Princess agrees with me! And she never does!
Jissai & Ichigo: *glares*
Tora: *sigh* We're not here to kill each other, you know. Some of our readers want help, and we're here to give it.
Jissai: Oh be quiet. You're more annoying than the Uchiha.
Yanagi: Do you seriously only know how to say 'oh be quiet?'
Jissai: I take back my earlier statement. You're more annoying.
Yanagi: Well whoop-de-doo. Like I care what you think of me.
Jissai: Shut up.
Tora: BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!
*silence*
Tora: Good. Now, welcome to Sukki18's Studio, reader-dono. Many of you know at least one of us from our respective stories, but today Sukki-sama is letting us come together to help you with your own characters. We'll be discussing four things today: personality, flaws, backstories, and appearance. To start-
Yanagi: Ugh... you sound like my old Academy sensei.
Tora: *glare* Why did Sukki-sama create you again?
Yanagi: Because she seems to have a habit of creating snappy sarcastic characters. It's you and Strawberry Princess that are the strange exceptions.
Ichigo: Not true. Tora, Emika form Not Your Lady, Yuri from Cats & Dogs, and Takami from Mask of Lies and I are all reserved.
Yanagi: And then there's me, Jissai, Nozomi from Akatsuki Senpai, Mari from My Not-so-little Merman, Shigeko from Penny for Your Thoughts, Kanari from Do You have Power Over Me, Etsuko from As Luck Would Have It, Noriko from When Live Gives You Lemons, the Yet-to-be-Named OC from To the Fullest, thousands of OCs that will never make it to fanfiction.net, and even minor OCs in your own universes who aren't reserved in the slightest. Shall I mention what a motormouth little Taka is, Ichigo-chan?
Ichigo: *glares*
Jissai: You just like arguing, don't you?
Tora: Stop getting off topic.
Yanagi: Who made you the damn leader? You're the youngest of all of us!
Ichigo: You're not that much older, you're only two years older than Tora-san.
Yanagi: And you're two years older than me, what's your point?
Tora: Shut. Up. We're here to help readers, not bicker among ourselves.
Jissai: Poor Tora-chan~! Yanagi-baka is going to drive you into an early grave.
Yanagi: OI! Say that to my face, ya damn Inkling Brat!
Jissai: ...Did you seriously just make a pun...?
Yanagi: Yes. Now shut the hell up before I start collecting blackmail on you.
Ichigo: Sukki-sama said you're not allowed to blackmail your OC peers.
Yanagi: And what's she going to do to stop me?
Tora: Tie you to Shisui. Personally, I'd pay to see that.
Jissai: (Who's Shisui?) Can we get a move on? I don't want to be around the Uchiha more than I have to.
Tora: I thought you'd never ask. So who wants to go first?
Ichigo: I vote Yanagi, maybe she'll leave if she's done first.
Yanagi: Just for that I'm staying, Little Miss Goody-goody Two Shoes.
Ichigo: Whatever, I don't care. Just go.
Yanagi: Alright, now what am I talking about again?
Tora: *facepalm* Personality! You're going to tell the readers about how to make a believable OC personality. That is, if there is anyone left reading!
Yanagi: Geez, aren't you snappy, on your period or something?
Tora: I never thought I'd meet anyone with less tact than Kushina...
Yanagi: Ha! If you think I'm bad you should meet Obito-nii!
Tora: That's not something to be proud of... Rah! Stop changing the subject and get on with it!
Yanagi: Alright, alright... geez... Anyway, ya nosy little brats, the topic at the moment is personality. Now what's so great about personality? Damn everything. Personality is the foundation of an OC, if you don't have a good complex personality you have a flat character and no one likes reading those. Take me for example, I'm a perfect round character: I am brash, rude, sarcastic as hell, and have a temper; but I also care secretly for people close to me, I'm loyal to a fault and, like every damn Uchiha, I'll cling to what I love til I die. You can't have only positive traits in your OC, that smells strongly of a damn Mary-sue. My advice: find a long list of both positive and negative traits, then bold or highlight the ones that apply to your OC. That'll also help keep your character constant. But always remember that no one can be defined by one word. If you look in the mirror you won't say that you're only 'kind' or 'cynical', you're a complex creature with many different traits, some that might even contradict each other, and your OC should be the same.
Tora: ...Wow... That's the shortest, least helpful tip I've ever heard.
Yanagi: I'll rip your damn scars off and slap you with them if you say another word, Circus Freak.
Jissai: You know what I'd love to see? You and Hidan in the same room.
Ichigo: How about we just lock the both of them up forever together? In a janitor's closet preferably.
Tora: Alright, all of you be quiet. Next is Jissai to talk about Character flaws.
Yanagi: Why is she here again? It's not like she's part of the 'Big Three' anymore.
Jissai: *glares* And you're not part of it yet either, your story has, what, 39 reviews?
Yanagi: It's 40 now, thank you. And that's for eleven chapters. You only got 239 reviews for 69 chapters.
Ichigo: Are we seriously going to start a Review War?
Tora: Both of you shut up, Ichigo and I are way ahead of both of you.
Yanagi: I'm pretty sure neither of you had 40 reviews so early as I did~!
Ichigo: Stop picking fights, you're as bad as Sasuke.
Yanagi: Don't mention Duckass around me when it's my day off. I want nothing to do with the brats.
Tora: I still can't believe you're Team 7's sensei in your universe... what was Sukki-sama thinking?
Yanagi: That she was in the mood to torture everyone's favorite genin team.
Jissai: I'd believe that, Sukki-sama is an evil authoress. Just look what she does with Tora, or Ichigo for that matter.
Ichigo: Or the Akatsuki in your universe.
Tora: Just say you're speech, Jissai...
Jissai: Okay okay... So flaws. I'm not talking about character flaws, like what Yanagi-baka mentioned earlier.
Yanagi: Watch it, brat.
Jissai: Don't interrupt, and I'm not a brat. I'm only a year younger than you.
Yanagi: And you have the maturity of a five year old. Trust me, I have a prankster for a brother so I know exactly how mature you can be!
Tora: Quiet before I duct tape your mouth shut and lock you in a janitor's closet with Shisui!
Yanagi: *glares*
Jissai: Anyway, as I was saying. There is a major difference between flaws and character flaws. Character flaws are just negative traits that an OC has, flaws are things that make the OC human. You can't have some overpowered chick with no imperfections that makes even the most powerful canon character look like a wimp, that is a classic trait of a Mary-sue. You need flaws, they can either be very silly to add humor or serious and a major issue in the story; and no, having a sad backstory or some ugly scar does not count. All four of us OCs have flaws. Yanagi is scared of squirrels, can hardly used Suiton ninjutsu, and seems to have mental issues.
Yanagi: Hey!
Jissai: Tora has trust issues as well as abandonment issues and is easily embarrassed. Ichigo never went to college, she has resentment for Sasuke, and is scared to confess to Itachi. I am the weakest in my clan, I have a death wish, and can take nothing serious. See? Those are some very good flaws for a person to have, and that's not even all the flaws we have... especially Yanagi-baka. Flaws are meant to be there so the OC can have some character development, without development everything just falls apart and the story turns into one big repetitive loop of the OC repeating the same mistakes without learning anything.
Tora: Thank you, Jissai. Especially for telling everyone about our problems.
Jissai: I'm detecting major amounts of sarcasm from you.
Yanagi: Does that count as blackmail? Can I tell Sukki18?
Ichigo: What? Are you a tattletale now?
Yanagi: I'd think you'd be on my side... you just hate me don't ya?
Ichigo: ...Let's just say I want to kill you more than I ever wanted to strangle Sasuke.
Tora: Alright, can we just get this done? I want to get back to my universe where everything is sane.
Yanagi: I don't know... the recent chapter that Sukki18 is writing isn't all that-
Tora: DON'T REVEAL SPOILERS!! Honestly, I know you're still a relatively new OC, but there are rules in place for a reason.
Yanagi: You make it sound like you've been doing these things forever. Hate to break it to ya, but this is the first time we've ever broken the walls between our universes.
Ichigo: Actually Jissai, Tora and I were allowed to speak to each other before, in a PM with one of Sukki-sama's internet friends. Hawk Sirius, I think. You weren't 'born' yet.
Jissai: Am I glad about that!
Tora: Honestly I miss it when Jissai was my biggest enemy.
Yanagi: I feel oddly proud with that statement...
Jissai: You would!
Ichigo: Alright, who's next?
Tora: I think I am.
Jissai: Then go. I don't want to hear Yanagi-baka anymore.
Yanagi: I'm sorely tempted to record my voice now and play it when you're asleep. I think I will.
Tora: *eye roll* First I must say that out of the four of us here, I am the one who is most like a Mary-sue. In fact you could even call me a reformed Mary-sue. And it's all because of my gloomy backstory. Every character needs a backstory, even if it's never mentioned in the story. Backstories are there to help flesh out the OC for the author, to help the author understand why their OC would do a certain thing or why they would feel a certain way about something. Backstories like mine are common in Mary-sues, so I would avoid making a sad backstory if at all possible. It's true that I started out as a Mary-sue, but since then Sukki-sama managed to work around it and give me many personal problems that stem from my horrible past. That is possibly the only way a sad backstory might be accepted in the fandom, if the OC has issues to resolve throughout the story that are a result of it. It's okay to have a totally normal and boring backstory, it might even be motivation for your OC to do something with their life. Just be careful and don't go overboard with it.
Yanagi: Backstory, backstory, backstory, blah, blah, blah.... man you're so repetitive! Couldn't you think of a synonym for 'backstory'?!
Jissai: You know, I'm starting to think that Sukki-sama only allowed to you join us to give comic relief...
Yanagi: Ha! Look who's talking! You're story is officially labeled as Crack, whereas my story actually has plot!
Ichigo: Sukki-sama definitely let her come for comic relief.
Yanagi: You shut the hell up, Little Miss 'Can't-Confess-My-Feelings-Or-I-Might-Lose-My-Job'
Ichigo: Seriously? You're really going to pick on me about that? You know, I can't wait until you start the romance in your story!
Yanagi: How do you know if I have romance? Sukki18 hasn't said anything about it, she hasn't even revealed a pairing yet!
Jissai: Good! I hope you die alone!
Tora: Let's wrap this up, I'm pretty sure you'll be trying to kill each other in another minute. Ichigo, you've got Appearance.
Ichigo: Finally, we can leave soon! So appearance is a big thing in creating an OC, it's the thing that will identify your OC to the rest of the world, both in his or her universe and to your readers. That being said, here is a very important tip that you all need to remember: Don't. Go. Overboard. Honestly, that is a saying you should apply to everything when making an OC. When creating the looks for an OC, keep it simple. Two-toned hair color and heterochromia (two colored eyes) are major signs of Mary-sue. As is strangely colored hair or eyes. Many canon characters have strange color palettes, Sakura and her pink hair or Orochimaru and his yellow snake eyes for example, but they're not as numerous as normal canon characters.
Yanagi: So does that mean Circus Freak is a Mary-sue?
Tora: I already said I was, jerk. Weren't you listening? Sukki-sama already straightened out my descent into Mary-sue hell.
Yanagi: Honestly, I zoned out as soon as you started talking...
Tora: *glares* I sincerely wish that the Shisui in your universe is as annoying as mine...
Yanagi: I wouldn't know, but he's annoying enough as is.
Ichigo: QUIET! Now as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, you have to keep everything simple. The Narutoverse is placed in a type of Japanese culture, which means that most characters will have a variation of dark hair and eyes. There are some exceptions, as mentioned before, but not many. In modern AUs, like where I'm from, it's a little more acceptable due to international breeding and hair dyes. You can use the hair dye excuse in normal canon universe, as Jissai did for the beginning part of Rediscovering, that is an acceptable excuse. Hair length is another major issue, many writers give their OCs long flowing hair, but if they're ninja it's unpractical, unless they tie it back like Yanagi does. Clothes are another problem, but since I'm not from the canon Narutoverse like my three companions and don't know much about it, I suggest you check out NuttyNuti’s Guide to Naruto’s Fashion Part 1 and Part 2 from DeviantArt. She also has many more OC tutorials found here
Yanagi: You're tip is worse than mine. All you're doing is telling them about stuff, you're not even trying to help.
Ichigo: You wanna tell them then?!
Yanagi: Naw, I'm not being paid for that part.
Jissai: Paid?! You're being paid? Is anyone else being paid!?
Tora: No. Most likely Sukki-sama is bribing Yanagi into being here.
Ichigo: She should have bribed Yanagi to behave too...
Yanagi: Girly, if you think the authoress could make me behave, you've got a bad case of delusion! And besides, I am behaving.
Ichigo: This is you behaving? I'd hate to see you misbehaving.
Yanagi: It normally ends with the person I'm talking to in therapy for a month or more. Possibly in the hospital if they piss me off in the process.
Jissai: Okay, seriously, why did Sukki-sama create you again? I don't think I've ever met a sadistic and slightly insane OC like you before.
Yanagi: Inkling, trust me, I'm not the worst out there. I've met Nao and Naoki from Docile Insanity, and Takami from Mask of Lies. They're are by far more insane and/or sadistic than me.
Ichigo: She's right on that. Takami is more sadistic than Yanagi.
Tora: STOP SPREADING SPOILERS! Takami's story isn't even published yet, so stop talking about her!
Jissai: Man, I certainly miss out now that I'm retired. Maybe I should invade Yanagi's universe.
Yanagi: Can't. There are paradoxes that would cause the universe to fall apart.
Jissai: Exactly. You would die and I would get away scott-free.
Tora: Until Sukki-sama decided to extract revenge for killing off one of her OCs, especially the first of the 'new generations'
Yanagi: Awww, don't worry, baa-chan, I'll take good care of the place when you retire too!
Ichigo: I forget that we're all two years older than her in reality.
Tora: So technically, I'm the oldest of all of you, that's why I'm the leader Yanagi.
Yanagi: Ha! I'm still older physically and more powerful. You both are barely B-rank class kunoichi!
Tora: All of us are jounin though.
Yanagi: But neither of you are part of the elite jounin class. You're just normal jounin.
Jissai: Wait... there are classes within jounin rank? Is Konohagakure that different from Iwa?
Tora: No, Yanagi is just being persnickety.
Yanagi: You're talking to a member of the Uchiha clan who is a jounin; I'm not being persnickety, I'm being right.
Tora: *sight* Save me from the arrogance of the Uchiha clan.
Yanagi: Does that include Itachi-san~?
Tora: ...Just shut up.
Ichigo: I'm so confused... what paradoxes is Yanagi talking about anyway?
Yanagi: The fact that Itachi-san is still in Konoha, that the Uchiha clan is still alive, and that I'm Team 7's sensei instead of Kakashi-nii. And those are only the three big paradoxes. There are a thousand others.
Ichigo: So what about your universe and Tora's? They're similar.
Tora: They're not really. Once again, Yanagi is Team 7's sensei instead of Kakashi-san, and the fact that Obito-san isn't in Konoha in my universe.
Yanagi: Careful, Circus Freak, you're getting close to spoilers.
Tora: Shut up.
Ichigo: I'm glad I'm in a totally different AU and not in a canon-verse...
Jissai: Since we're done with the tips, can we leave now?
Tora: Sukki-sama hasn't let us out yet. We have to stay in this dimension until she does.
Jissai: Why?
Yanagi: Otherwise someone might stumble into the wrong universe... Jissai
Ichigo: Why are we making this more complex than it should be? We're only here to give away some tips for writers. Not create this whole little world and everything.
Yanagi: We're not creating a world, we're simply revealing the rules of OC interaction.
Tora: That should remain a secret.
Yanagi: Meh, they're kept a secret because we're not supposed to find out about them. Since Sukki18 never bothered to keep the secret from us, why should we care? Besides, writers should already know all the rules. It's in that FFN rule book they've gotta read before publishing a new story.
Jissai: Sukki-sama is going to kill you.
Ichigo: Good!
Yanagi: You know, I know I'm a bitch. But you three actually make me feel like a victim to bashing here.
Awesome Messenger Hawk Arrives
Yanagi: Damn, we have to give more tips...
Jissai: WHAT?! Why do I have to be around you some more?!
Tora: *groan* Just tell us what it says...
Yanagi: Sukki18 says that one of her readers wants tips on how to stay focused on writing.
Ichigo: Oh that's easy!
Yanagi: Great! You tell the nosy little brats about whatever bullshit we've gotta do, I'm going in search for sugar since Jissai destroyed the cookies.
Jissai: You know, you're not earning any readers being rude to them.
Yanagi: Silence, defect.
Jissai: Defect?! I'm not a defect!
Yanagi: You can't use your damn kekke genkai worth a damn, you're a defect.
Tora: BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP! Ichigo-san, please help the readers before someone gets killed.
Ichigo: Okay. So Sukki-sama was telling me the other day some things that she does when she's having writers block. First you must understand that there are two kinds of Writer's Block: Total and Partial WB. Total Writer's Block is when you can not write one word; you can't think of anything to do, it's like you've reached a dead end. Of course there is another form of Total WB, when you have the story down and you know where you want to go, but you can't put the idea to words.
Jissai: Kinda like what is happening to Rediscovering!
Ichigo: Actually, Jissai-chan, Sukki-sama says that she's having Partial Writer's Block on Rediscovering. Partial WB is when the writer loses inspiration to write the story, they know what to do but they don't have the motivation to continue the story.
Yanagi: In other words, you bored Sukki18.
Jissai: I hope you die a lonely life in the cold.
Yanagi: You know, you should really check into anger management therapy.
Jissai: Look who's talking!!
Yanagi: I've already taken it. The therapist retired due to anger management issues.
Tora: *facepalm* Can we have one minute without you two butting heads?
Yanagi: No. Now shut up, you're interrupting the Strawberry Princess.
Ichigo: ...As I was saying. Now that you know the different kinds of Writer's Block, you should know there are several ways to deal with it. for Total WB you should just leave it alone, especially if you can't put an idea to words. Your brain is probably telling you to take a break, and you should listen to it. That's really the only thing you can do when experiencing Total Writer's Block. There are more methods to get rid of Partial Writer's Block. Listening to music that reminds you of the story, doodling your characters or scenes you want to do, making an outline over the story, act out the scene you're having trouble on, even eating or drinking something with sugar can perk you up when you're in a slump are all excellent ways to shrug off Partial WB; best of all, they even double as ways to get inspiration for your stories! Of course, the 'Take a Break' idea is a catch all for any type of Writer's Block. Don't worry how long it takes, your readers will be happy when you come back with an excellent chapter instead of a pathetic one because you forced yourself to write it!
Yanagi: You sound like one of those merchants who sale crappy gear at an exuberant price...
Ichigo: It's called a used car salesman.
Yanagi: Yeah, don't know what you're talking about. But if you want to call yourself that, go for it.
Ichigo: *glares*
Tora: Alright guys, behave.
Yanagi: Alright mom.
Tora: And that's all for today! Sukki-sama hopes that you leave a review and have a wonderful rest of the week! Ja ne!
Yanagi: Such a lame change of subject. Normally you're better at it, Circus Freak.
Tora: Just go back to your universe, Yanagi, and leave me alone now.
