“ I’ll stay by your side, Ash…forever…Even if you are betrayed by the world”
These words mean everything to ash and the way he leans into Eiji’s warmth as he comforts him 🥹🥹
Eiji came to USA to photograph something very different: a formidable, impenetrable gang leader Ash Lynx. He left instead with shots of very mundane moments, not for any sensational magazine story, but to immortalize the tenderness and love he shared with his "Aashu", his Aslan.
The way i am rooting for naruhina in genin era but can see narusaku literally have similar trope as OP described but with actual moments and development, something that majority of ns shipper wouldn’t admit
I actually think this ship could've given sakura a better character arc. From a selfish, popularity obsessed girl to a woman who worked on her empathy and fell for the hard working underdog. But we got hetslop
@marmeladovna Kinda crazy the impact on kishimoto’s misogynist writing literally implied in the fandom because his heroine keep getting ridiculed, humiliated & being the butt of the jokes
@YallNeverListen@nelibugsgrillz Obviously, esp we all know the patriarchy on japan is awful so maybe his misogynistic view & tendencies comes from that. His interview implies he have soft spot for sakura’s character but the way he write her implies otherwise 😂 it’s hard to say but i get what you mean
@marocas646@PinkPetal43@YallNeverListen To make this two so devoted & fixated over sasuke. It also will be better to show sasuke’s good sides & dynamic w other chara (since kishi make him bcm one of the main focus in shippuden) soso us audience can be more empathic to him. To show the contrast more between b4 and-
@YallNeverListen@nelibugsgrillz Also besides gaiden, he just did a pretty questionable writing choice for his main fem chara (esp sakura) that lead into this misogynistic pov and fandom adapting to that. This is why she bcm ridiculed & bcm a punching bag among fandom bcs kishi treat her as such
@YallNeverListen@nelibugsgrillz doesn’t recognize sarada & doesn’t even react that much w that reunions, cheating allegations, implying sakura’s motherhood are questionable) said enough😭 like istg theres a better way to convince us sarada is their child lol
@PinkPetal43@YallNeverListen Him focusing on the uchihas & using sasuke as naruto compas what make others getting neglected. Naruto classic is more solid since it mainly focusing on naruto and his dynamic with others
@YallNeverListen@nelibugsgrillz While i do think he’s trying with sakura but it failed mainly bcs he does still have this rooted misogynist mindset. I genuinely can’t brush that aside. He keep degrading sakura trough sasuke, naruto gaiden is the cherry on top how problematic his view on sakura sasuke dynamic
The misogyny in Naruto's writing isn't Sakura or Hinata having romantic feelings. A female character can have romantic feelings and not be stone cold fighting machine. It's the fact that Sakura is by narrative the third most powerful, but the story favored Shikamaru.
