JUST AS PLANNED, AW YEE
NARUTO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE TO CHANGE SASUKE AHHHHH
FUCK THIS SHIT
THERE GOES MY SHIP GAH
WELL GUESS WHAT SASUKEH IS STILL A BITTER SOURCUP SO
(V)(́◉◞౪◟◉‵)(V)
SASUNARU CHANCE!
I’m sorry I underestimated you, Kishi. You exceeded my expectations. This all seemed so half-hearted, and now it’s confirmed as to why: Sasuke doesn’t mean any of it. Having Sasuke playing along, but still not be trustworthy, and then have Naruto and Sakura even hurting… It’s definitely a more realistic scenario than just having Naruto go boom-boom-crash on him and expect him to come back home from the darkside.
I really liked Sakura’s expression there. I still don’t like her very much, and I still find her very annoying, but forced fake smiles are my weak spot.
they just remind me so much of Allen WalkerTo me, Naruto telling Sasuke to cast off his Amaterasu was like telling him to dispel his hatred. Sasuke refused, his hatred still burning fierce, and Naruto noticed that he’s still not the Sasuke he once knew. The one that’s still buried in there, somewhere.
I’m really, really glad. Now it’s time for Sasuke to be truly saved. I want that epiphany! The crow—the gift from Itachi, I want to see it used to save Sasuke!
kiTAAAAH~! so happy happy~ (ノ◕ ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧~
Also, I don’t think Kaka-shi is gons die. Team 7 won’t be complete without him—and Team 7 is gonna be complete, dammit.
I wanted to ask something to you, this question has been bugging me for a long time ( and it is a really stupid question but…)
DO you know which DGM pairing is most popular in japan and in the west? OTL
Someone said lavi/yuu ( >.< ) was the most popular one in Japan and I was wondering if it was true :S ( not that I can do anything about it but…still this saddens me a lot )

It’s KanAreKan that’s most popular. But that’s not entirely a good thing. Rambling cont.:
ehrm
Not sure it was copying, that’s the thing.
:X
I mean, I based my name url off the “The Terminator”, so.
(tehe you’re irreplaceable to me too, dianthy babu <3)
Wait.
Is yullenator actually more popular than me?
….
:T Welp. That’s pathetic of me.
Just to avoid confusion though, I’m Yullenator on Youtube, Twitter, Habbo, etc. I use Baniita everywhere else.
i swear to god if people confuse us I’m going to cry omg
I never want to be “oh, that other Yullenator”.
Tattlers and Fannibals, I am so pleased to bring this to you. I was lucky enough to sit down with Bryan Fuller himself and ask some of the questions that I was dying to know the answers to.
This article is FULL OF SPOILERS for upcoming seasons/the books/the movies so you are warned!
FREDDIE: I’ve heard that you have seven seasons outlined, is that true?
BRYAN: I have character arcs that would take us through Season 7.
FREDDIE: Hannigram, Yes or no? We’ve heard it said that Will is going to have a relationship next season, is Hannigram too risque?
BRYAN: HanniGraham is not too risqué. In fact, I would argue that HanniGraham is already in play – just not physically. Hannibal is absolutely intrigued by Will Graham and has genuine feelings for him. And Will Graham, at this stage of their relationship, trusts Hannibal more than any other person. There is a genuine intimacy to how these two men have connected.
LEGIT SCREAMING OMG

Emergency! Emergency!
Because mod is a brainded, the main theme has yet to be decided before the basic theme discussion. PROBLEM is, do we prioritize organization (having the basic 7 themes to relate) or do we prioritize having more interesting themes that may or may not be related? Please state which you’d prefer! And if you prefer the former, feel free to suggest phrases for the main theme! Also, if no good ones can be found, there will be no main theme.
This year, the main theme will be decided by suggestion and vote.
All the theme suggestions made so far that do not fit this main theme will still be candidates for alternate themes.
Examples for “overall” theme suggestions:
- “If I keep on taking this road, will it one day lead me to you?” (2012)
- “Between us, no words are needed.” (2011)
-“Kanda, your split ends are showing.”“Until I lose myself, until the last petal falls, I’ll fight by your side.”just an example please don’t write something that lame i am unable to eloquent* Serious entries only, please.I recommend suggesting an overall theme that fits Kanda and Allen’s relationship for this year thus far, but that’s optional.
Also, please avoid suggesting past themes (I’ll compile a list later) unless there were next to no stories for that theme that year.Suggestions: (please keep checking back!)
elenawindwalker: “We are opposites, yet we are the same.”
hanabimonai:
- “Sinking Moon, Rising Lotus” (alt: “Drowning Moon, Rising Lotus”)
- “I’ll carry you through this, like you did for me.”
anon: “You are my salvation.” (Note: Anon wants someone to come up with something similar, but lessWell?
title: pieces of their dreams
pairing: JoshNeku (friendship)
artist: Crystalicia / retrotale

A short TWEWY-centric comic set in Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. I started drawing it as an outlet for all my ~~feels~~ after Sora and Riku started running into our favourite Shibuya cast, without a specific ending in head… and then it got out of hand.
There aren’t really spoilers for KH:3D - but knowing the basic concept would help you understand the story better. Also, apologies for the wonky perspective and colours - but Traverse Town without all the twinkling streetlights wouldn’t be Traverse Town at all!
