you know what

naruto post vote 2 not realizing that he's in love with sasuke and sasuke getting it first and then just rolling with it without explaining anything to naruto just waiting for him to have an epiphany all on his own

that's the shit

shame I can't fuck around without finding out

I think a lot of people lose sight of the fact that at the beginning of Naruto Sakura is a 12-year-old (just like her teammates).

Her behavior towards boys and Sasuke in particular is very much on point for what actually happens to kids at that age (judging by my middle school years at least). It's okay for kids to be stupidly obvious and persistent when in love.

If she were an adult, her infatuation with Sasuke would have probably been short-lived. After all, reasonable adults stop pursuing relationships after being rejected.

But Sakura is a teenager experiencing her first love. She hasn't had the chance to learn from failed relationships and her standards are pretty low. So when Sasuke keeps ignoring and rejecting her it's easy for her to romanticize the situation anyway.

Even at the end of the series she's still only 17. And who on earth expects rational and level-headed choices from a 17-year-old?

As much as I wish Kishimoto would have given Sakura an arc of realising that she deserved more than what Sasuke had to offer her, there's a ton of real life examples of people proceeding to marry a person who's not all that interested but has a "why not" attitude. So I can't judge her for believing that Sasuke is going to make her happy.

blocking and reporting porn bots as a part of my daily routine has become something that I calmly accept the same way I accept the necessity of brushing my teeth

tbh it's kinda wild

if there's a trope that instantly kills suspense of disbelief for me, it's the tragic rain of sadness i.e. when it begins to rain the moment something sad and personal happens to the character

My friend: How can people be so wrong? Me: What about? My friend: Everything. All the time. My friend: ... My friend: Characters, mostly.
