am I allowed to hate bed bugs?

I work at a hotel and those things just...manifest themselves into rooms I swear.

You're allowed to hate whatever you want, although the bugs themselves are just doing what they need to do to survive and propagate their species. There's no more malice in that than there is in a bird eating seeds. You can hate the inconvenience a pest bug causes without hating the bugs themselves. But that's just my philosophy, and no one has to subscribe to it.

(one) of Cursed Cloud Strife's most traumatic universes is the one wher ehe and Reno are married. ^_^

Absolutely

Is there a universe where Cloud married Barret?

There are infinite universes, so I'm sure there is.

What are Calamity Zack's thoughts of Cloud x Zack + possible others? Is he just like whatever floats your boat?

Calamity Zack rolls with anything that's healthy for Cloud and everyone else he loves. (And ugh, fine Aerith, things that are also healthy for Genesis.)

Strifesodos family - Genesis is better now and mourning and guilty as hell. Ends up finally throwing himself at/on Cloud in hopes of judgement/absolution...something. Tifa and Barret have just left of their honeymoon post Advent Children and Cloud needs help. He has Marlene, Denzel, Moogle Girl, and three now infant former(ish) Sephiroth clones to wrangle. Yuffie was supposed to help but she's more aiding and abetting. Genesis finds absolution might come in wiping sticky hands, and taking children to and from school, and changing dirty diapers.

Live your dreams and write it! I'm sure people would love to see this AU in a fic.

Have you seen One & Two (2015)? You also seem on a timothee chalamet brainrot...and no one seems to have seen that one

I've been looking for it for weeks since Prime Video tricked me into thinking it was there sjsjsksksdk but when I try to play it all it says is "film not available at the moment" 🫠

I watched the trailer and read about it tho, it looks intriguing, hope I can find it soon lol

I love "character/s goes back into past to fix stuff" but having it be really odd moments where their future memories take hold. Recently Naruto has been one of my obsessions (obviously) so either naruto and sasuke getting memories back right as twelve year old naruto is knocked forward into that "kiss" last day of the academy or at the bridge where sasuke's just declared again to be cutting all ties only suddenly he and naruto are having a conversation about... something and "black zetsu" and alien moons and kakashi and sakura are so very very confused

Ah, the time travel prompt? It is sometimes fine I think 😅 Tokyo Revengers has it also but I can tolerate it because it’s so good >.< but otherwise I’m not really a fan. Ooooooooh but!!!~ I’d read the hell out of that tbh. Imagine SNS accidentally kiss again as adults but then during the kiss they time travel back to their 12y/o selves in the classroom and then have an entirely different reaction. Naruto also knows Sakura is going to beat the shit out of him because of it and blocks the blow not tolerating it after everything. BUT THEN WHAT?! They have all their memories still but have to go through life starting over.... Perhaps kissing is a way to travel back and forth :3!! Anyone??????? Or do these fics exist already? xD

My theory on sarada existing is sakura deciding a baby will "fix" their (non-existent) relationship and Karin goes along with the idea as she has some of sasuke's sperm samples due to Orochimaru getting them way back when Sasuke first joined him or something. Sasuke only finds out after the fact is horrified by the further stealing of his family's genetics but doesn't want to raise hell so just...leaves so sakura just invites herself to the right to the uchiha mon on her clothes and in her schoolgirl way figures she's having sasuke's baby so obviously she's his wife now.

I love reading these theories xD

Of course I have my own caused by the desire to rationalize this very tragic ending, but I talked about it many times before already. I... uh, I don't think they have Sasuke's... sperm considering... you know, his age or rather, I don't want to think about it. *shakes head* As shown through drugged-up Kabuto's thoughts though, they were collecting DNA, including Sasuke's so he has to know that already. 'Gaiden' showed a lot about cloning as well as Mitsuki who was created by having selected cells fused with an embryo(?). Orochimaru was specific about wanting to create certain things which he himself lacked- like the ability to reach Sage mode on his own... (which Mitsuki can, not surprisingly xD) So... that's all they need to create a designer baby 👀 DNA/cells (blood, skin, bone, hair etc) and an embryo. And thank you so much!!! 🥳🧡💕

Homage Naruto taking a picture just like his original ninja record picture. With the paint and what-not.. (also his only reason (he can easily understand why sasuke can never be a leaf ninja again) nowadays for wanting sasuke to be a ninja of leaf is entirely to make him take a picture like that as well.)

Ohhh a redraw of that picture but an older version! *-* I'm not sure if you meant it as art-suggestion, but I'll keep the inspiration in mind for sure! I think it'll be hard to have Sasuke agree to do something like that xD But for Naruto... maybe, privately. lol like this?:

As a silly multishipper, I do like to imagine various ships for my favorite characters. For Naruto sometimes I can see him with Gaara or Shikamaru or even Neji (and occasionally kakashi (time travel where adult naruto wasn't gonna make a move on child sasuke) but Sasuke stumps me...maybe Sasuke/Chouji (largely dependent on how it was written or presented) but that's about it. I always come back to naruto x sasuke as they are perfect for each other bit it's fun to muse upon.

Sasuke x Chouji? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it 🤔 that’s interesting. As rare ships, I did see him a few times shipped with Shino or Neji. I can’t see Naruto or Sasuke be with anyone else but each other tbh ;-; Especially Sasuke, but for Naruto, if Sasuke wasn’t part of the story then maybe Gaara. But yeah, in the end it is always SNS ;-; I do have some ships in other stories though 😌

I had stopped being able to read the naruto manga way back near the beginning of shippuden (it was still coming out at the time) due to the store I had access to not bothering to carry the volumes anymore (man am I old 🤣) then different fandoms caught me and years go by so my mind has the sasuke naruto meeting with sasuke draping himself over naruto to threaten him and sakura being competent with healing kankuro and fighting sasori... so I was...confused when I recently fell back into the fandom why sakura would even be with sasuke...as I felt mature medic nine fighter girl would have understood that she'd had a crush and moved on.

Like, Naruto and Sasuke had so much stuff between them I get why they haven't let each other go.

So it seemed weird as hell that sakura would even still "like" sasuke... as her original feelings stemmed from childish "he's so cute and broody" which is okay in a 12 year old girl but less okay as an adult woman...

The naruhina I though, ah, he and hinata must have had many moments in all the parts I've missed, and bonded...oh...she just...endangers herself and confesses to which naruto doesn't react at all...and then their married...

As a shonen manga I figured we wouldn't get a blatant narusasu ending (even though they are the best) ...I'm even a cheery multishipper often for characters I like but...it was so sad. I'd of been happier to have it end with shion just randomly turning up to have naruto keep his baby making promise...

Anywho sorry for blathering on.

I adore your art as well, it's super pretty and I need all the naruto x sasuke content to heal my shipper soul...

Hi @roseunspindle ! Oh gosh!! You couldn’t read past the reunion scene??? I would’ve gone crazy 😭

Yeah, Sakura never matured in that department. Even in the sequel where she’s supposedly married to Sasuke, Ino derisively says she’ll forever stay a girl in love. Like the story had to spell it out for readers. There is this weird vibe between her and Sarada when it comes to Sasuke.. I don’t even know how to describe it but it’s creepy. Even when there is a kid involved somehow and they speak of marriage, Sasuke gives her no reason to love him romantically and it surprises her still that he showed no concern for her life whatsoever. Sasuke, who expresses through action in most cases, is still as indifferent as ever towards her. 

Sakura has moments where she shows some care for characters, mainly driven by her being a medic, but emotionally, it is bizarre how little she cares about Sasuke and yet, at the same time seems to only care about him... if it involves herself. She doesn’t even question why Sasuke does what he does or tries to understand how he feels. Even when she gets fed little snippets of his pain or the source of that, she doesn’t try to find an answer. In the very end she doesn’t even give a shit about his reason to travel or defend his words regarding "redemption". She felt entitled to an apology while she was the one going up to him with the intention to kill him. Even when he tries to explain why he wants to travel, she just cuts off his words because she wants to go with him regardless of his intentions or goals. I get why some people wanted a development for Sakura where she’d be able to let that crush for him go, but story-wise? That would take a lot from Kishimoto because there is also a lot of insecurity involved too.. And frankly, she's very much a red herring :')

Meh, nh... I have nothing to say. 

Well, SNS-fans often say their story is very tragic. But that’s not just how we feel, it IS a fact that Naruto and Sasuke went from receiving a semi-sweet/bitter-sweet (depends on how you look at it as we got a resolve but not a clear resolution yet) in ch 698/699 to a bitter ending in 700 where they suddenly not only didn’t have what they wanted, but certainly not what they needed either. To combat that in the sequel, they shoved all the problems of the world onto a bunch of aliens... distracting everyone from the hypocrisy of the system. Neither Naruto or Sasuke got to work on the thing they wanted and their internal desires were completely massacred for the sake of these kids. And both of them have shown that if they don’t have what they need, they will fail the thing they ultimately want. Meaning, the Shinobi world will forever stay the same while spitting on their dream for the future and the trauma they had to go through because of it. It’s not even about SNS or the story being Shonen... but the concept, which Sasuke talked about at the end that was supposed to be a vehicle for a better world is completely retconned. 

... but I’m happy that besides that, SNS is still widely and largely celebrated regardless. And that says a lot! I’m happy to hear you like my art 🥰💕 that really means a lot, thankyou so much!! (I’m trying to heal myself through them too ;-;!)
