What do you think of the will of fire and konoha? Do you support them?

Ah, I think a lot about that. It's challenging to dive in without getting completely lost in it, though, and without me having to go and take a million screenshots. Most scenes include some sort of example why the current system or why WoF have failed a certain character, and that is important because those are the messages within the story that support the overall theme. Specifically how a character reacts to a situation. 

And in the end, it's the Shinobi system that needs changing one way or another. 

Creating a village that prioritizes unity, loyalty, and protection is great. I definitely support what Konoha was supposed to be, and it had been necessary. But it failed because there are bigger issues.

I've read a lot of pro- and anti-WoF posts, and I think most of them are right in some ways, but I don't think you can judge the operation of an ideology that's part of a system without questioning... the broader system. And that's exactly what it distracts you from; the WoF never addresses the root cause of any conflicts. 

The ideology itself isn't to blame. The WoF doesn't inherently promote anything harmful, but it's too simplistic. Hashirama's ways to achieve peace were ambitious but perhaps too naive, whereas Tobirama operated from his own biased sense of realism. I don't like how authority applied the WoF, that includes Hiruzen and Danzo, of course, who manipulated and abused it in a way only to serve their own interests and encourage people to sacrifice themselves for it or do that sacrificial part for them. Prioritizing a single village or nation without questioning the system that applies to all Shinobi is bound to fail. 

Hence, Naruto wanted all Shinobi to work together, or why Sasuke believed there had to be a single enemy that would force all Shinobi to work together. 

And why Itachi made it a point that certain things like a clan or village should be questioned. Or why it was so significant to question what personal bonds meant as opposed to the collective belief that made Shinobi with the same headband comrades automatically.

There are many issues, so do I support it? Maybe? But only if applied responsibly, and we haven't seen a good example yet. So maybe it's not even possible, but that also makes it interesting. 

Or—hear me out—you can introduce aliens, and none of that matters anymore because now Sasuke is right and Naruto gets his wish without any creativity while both are miserable regardless—tadaa~

Got bored in the shower and came up with a character idea that I don’t know if I should conclude is good or bad.

The other day I concluded that Brazen could be a cool name for a flamescale skywing, and I guess I wanted to expand that idea. Could a flamescale be created from only partially absorbing its twin’s fire? Could an animus gene be passed onto a flamescale, or would that be overpowered? Could a flamescale hide from the rest of the sky kingdom unnoticed? If an animus flamescale existed, could they make it so their scales could only be harmful at will? How would they phrase that spell, if so?

Anyways, this string of thought occurred because I thought of this character I had as a kid, named Juniper, who was a flamescale, but at the time I didn’t know/remember Peril’s twin survived, and didn’t die in the egg. But I wondered about who Juniper’s father would be, since I’d only thought of her mother.

I was imagining the scene of them meeting again, since I was writing out a story with Juniper, and the last chapter I’d wrote was her seeing her mother again, but right after a Pyrite-like “mask” was used on her. I thought about Juniper understandably freaking out and not being sure who she was for a split second, but then her mother grasping her face and trying to calm her down, which'd be the only time she really felt any talons touch her. She’d be confused, not understanding how the talons holding her cheeks weren’t burning at all. Then maybe the backstory of her mother and father would be told. Maybe her father was a flamescale, but had been using animus magic to conceal that part of himself, due to fearing rejection and execution (he’d have to hide the fact he’s animus too, but that’s a lot easier to pull off since it’s non-visual). Her father, who well call Brazen, fell in love with Juniper’s mother, and revealed himself as a flamescale after being in a relationship for 1-2 years, but surprisingly, she was not scared, and accepted him. They knew that if they’d have dragonets, that there’d be a risk of another flamescale, but both accepted the possibility, staying far from the Sky Palace, and hiding amongst the caves in the mountains. Knowing this, Brazen enchanted his mate to be able to touch flame, no amount of burn shall harm her.

Idk, just a thought, heh.

Almost finished book 11 pre good so far

[hugsloves]

I find Sky creepy and feel sad about his situation.

Sky feel more childish than dragonest in wof, even if he an adult. Adult acting as kids creeps me out.

I spend some time thinking about Sky and why he like this... So here few things

Wren and Sky dynamic is toxic.

Sky feels dumb down so Wren could shine. Sky depends on Wren making desitions too much and can't be his own person.

Also Wren accidentally messed Sky mentaly up and now he stuck in kids mind set from which he won't grow up (it's a bit too late for him).. The ability to grow up was stold from him..

but you can't really blame Wren because she was a young kid that for sure had no idea what she doing rising another kid.

Sky doesn't feels like a sibling to Wren, but a pet.. a dog.
