Can ask you something? There's one thing really bothering me about sasusaku...i can really forgive sasuke for trying to kill sakura but i really dont get why he had to Put her in the damn genjutsu to torture her
(contd.) I mean i get that he wanted her away from the fight but why couldnt it be a less cruel genjutsu srsly?!
Sasuke deliberately strove to be loathed. He tried so hard to cut all his bonds, but this damned girl won’t let him. They’re family. All he wants is to become an emotionless vessel to channel world peace. He can’t afford to have around the most humane character of the manga. She must forget about him once and for all. That’s why Sasuke was so drastic.
As much as you think it hurt Sakura, please pay attention to how much it hurt him.
If you reread 696, the guy tried to shoulder alone the hatred of the world. All of it. Does he look happy? No. He looks bloody depressed.
Here comes this kind girl, saying she still loves him no matter what. Wow. Did you wonder how painful it must have been for him too?
“You really are so damned annoying”. That face is everything. My favorite fandom quote on that panel is by arriku , for this drawing.
Why Sasuke? Because you can feel her getting under your skin? Because she actually gets to you and makes you falter in your resolve, even if for only a second - every time?
The renewed confession catches him off guard. Look at the way he “freezes” and turns. After all he’s done, she still loves him with all her heart.
The eyes are heavy and intense. I can barely stand the ache, I don’t know how he does.
With his word choice he proves he hasn’t forgotten 181.
His expression reminds me of Sakura’s pained fake smile of 635. He’s holding back his true emotions, as usual.
It must have felt comforting to be still loved. At the same time, it bothers him. “Having too many bonds causes one to lose focus, weakening their strongest wish, their greatest desire" - Sasuke in 307.
Quoting baasama's sfx post,
wowowow at the intesity of this child and his feelings
damn right boy, freeze right there and hang on tightly to those words, they’re going to save your life
We don’t know if 693’s tsukuyomi truly was cruel. Sakura looked rather peaceful while she was sleeping, for all we know the dream may have been happy. It wasn’t torture, like Itachi’s extended genjutsu on Kakashi.
Also, can we please STOP STOP STOP with the “Sasuke tried to kill Sakura” bs? I’m so tired of this. When the female attacks the male, it’s okay, it’s empowering, but when the male attacks the female, a cataclysm explodes?? Sasuke didn’t try to kill Sakura. He didn’t want to kill her, it was self defense. Please, let go of this argument. Let go of the abuse argument too, while you’re at it.
