name's ayon, recently turned 19, and i love cats :3

I'm an unapologetic multisaku shipper (honestly haven't yet found a sakura ship i don't really ship lmao except for incestuous ships for obvious reasons) and my current circle of hell is founders x sakura, as evidenced my the multitude of art/fic prompt things of this ship u_u

I mainly like to draw, but you might be cursed with my dumb writing once in a while so stay on your toes (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞

This is a pro-sakura space, where I unabashedly barf my love for sakura haruno all day every day 24/7 so if you're not a fan of my queen, begone thot

I'm not sure if I'll be accepting any requests as of yet but if the ask box is open ya'll can go ham on it hahaha

If you like what I do and want to support me, consider buying me a ko-fi ♡(ŐωŐ人)

take care and see you soon!

Edit: I've had an awakening and I sort of ship sasusaku now 😳 sort of but not really? Like if they went about it in a healthier way I'd totally be all for it 😳

Dear Anti SasuSaku Posts ...

I hate started drama and shit, but I've noticed a few seriously annoying things.

I am not a fan of the canon Naruto ending. The ships are at best nice, and at worst abusive and confusing. If I turn my head a bit and walk about a million steps away, I can see them in a better light. I don't appreciate hate for other ships, but I understand where it comes from, and I also understand it can blind people sometimes.

As much as I do not relish in the fact that SasuSaku is canon, I also notice that a lot of posts that go against it, tend to unnecessarily bash on Sakura.

Believe me, I was once the exact same. All I could see was how annoying or useless Sakura was, and I still see those words used to describe her in posts. But the fact was that I was bias with Sasuke, and I didn't try my best to understand Sakura's character. All I did was see how much of a fangirl she was, and how she watched Naruto and Sasuke fight from behind. That is not the point of her character.

Sakura grew up in a relatively happy home, with two parents, lots of friends, and love. Unlike Naruto or Sasuke, which were both orphans and experienced unimaginable loneliness and pain, Sakura did NOT.

She's a normal kid. She's only 12, remember? These kids are only 12. She doesn't know any better! All kids complain about their parents, and wish they could live alone instead. She doesn't understand how much pain it caused Naruto or Sasuke to live without their families. She doesn't know how lonely it is, or how devastating it is. Sakura is literally just a 12 year old kid. And she admits this later on in the series. She admits how selfish and blind she was, and even sees Naruto in a much different light - she learned from her mistakes.

Many people also point of that Sakura called Naruto annoying various times, and didn't treat him with respect. This was obviously because everyone treated Naruto this way before. The entire village bullied him. Kids, adults, etc. Sakura didn't know any better. She just wanted Sasuke's approval back then, and said whatever came to mind to make Sasuke feel superior to Naruto. That failed horribly, and she soon came to realize how much pain she caused Naruto. Sasuke called her annoying, and it hurt, so she knew Naruto must've been hurt by her comments as well. She connected the dots and apologized eventually. It's about character development.

Speaking of character development, Sakura never got enough of it. Yes, she grew physically stronger, and yes, she learned to appreciate Naruto and apologize for the pain she caused him - but one single fact never changed.

Her infatuation with Sasuke.

To me, this was very clearly not love. I believed that with time, Sakura would open her eyes and realize she could find someone worthy of her love. Someone that wouldn't repeatedly call her annoying, or belittle her. But no. That character development never came. This is the primary reason so many anti-sasusaku shippers hate Sakura. Because she is so needy for Sasuke's love, it antagonizes her. Everyone begins to see her as the needy and sad character that never let Sasuke be free, and eventually forced him into having her child.

Sakura obviously did not force Sasuke to impregnate her, that makes no sense.

Kishimoto never gave my girl the proper development she deserved, and like many other female Naruto characters, shoved her beside the man she was infatuated with for her entire life. I won't even start on Boruto, because nothing in that series makes any sense. They completely did a 180 with Sasuke's character, and made all of the relationships appear lovely and not forced at all. It still saddens me, but I've come to accept it, because holding unnecessary hate or dislike for a series that once brought me so much joy is unhealthy.

I do love and feel for Sarada, though.

Even she doubted the credibility of the relationship between her parents, because obviously she misses her father who is never around to support her.

Anyway. The point is anti-SasuSaku fans need to stop attacking Sakura's character! anti-ship posts need to stop being made too, but I obviously can't stop people from sharing their opinions, so just don't bash on a character unnecessarily. It's alright to hate a ship, but it's not okay to place the majority of that hate on one character, when it takes two to make a ship.

Sakura is a good character. She did her best with what Kishimoto gave her, and I appreciate that. She helped defeat Kaguya, killed Akatsuki members like a boss, trained under Tsunade, healed and saved numerous people including Naruto, and basically became a single mother. Maybe her relationship with Sasuke doesn't make much sense, but that's the way things are now. At least in Boruto. If it infuriates you that much, don't watch the series. Don't hate on people who do watch it. And don't hate a single character for the mistakes of an entire writing team, and Kishimoto.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk, and I hope I haven't enraged people unnecessarily.

Much love from your neighborhood Naruto fan, and happy new years!

We need to spread more pro-Sakura positivity to turn them Haters into logical thinkers or make them cringe like live snails over salt.
