Ned: Tem Certeza Que No Est Sendo Paranoica?

Ned: Tem certeza que não está sendo paranoica?

Cat: Cuidado nunca é o suficiente

Okay. I know the general consensus is not this, but if Catelyn had been told the truth about Jon from the get go, she would have treated him better. Relatively. Like, she wouldn't have gave him shit for being a bastard or been ice queen bitch stepmother to him, but uh. there would have been other issues. Just think about how having Catelyn aboard the hide-Jon-train would go for one second. For one second. Okay? We are talking about Catelyn fucking Stark nee Tully. And we are also talking about Catelyn fucking Stark nee Tully before the other four kids came along. Just her baby Robb and Ned and Ned's nephew. (and if you don't think that Ned saving Jon from under Robert's nose on a promise to his sister wouldn't make I-released-the- king-slayer-to-bring-back-my-daughters-Catelyn fall so hard in love with him her head is still ringing fifteen years later you are LYING to yourselves) So think mother gothel. She would have micromanaged the shit out of Jon's life and upbringing. Ned is pretty lax so as security measures go in terms of Jon, but Cat? Winterfell would get turned into FBI headquarters. Vibe checks at the door and retina scanners and Jon and Robb have a praetorian guard on their cradles. Yeah she'd be cool to Jon in public as he grows but in private she's frantically brushing his hair every night looking for whites. Holding him up to the light to check for hints of purple in his eyes. As they get older she namedrops bastard a lot but secretly actively fosters a relationship between Jon and the other kids because Catelyn-Sansa-will-be-queen-of-the-seven-kingdoms-Stark nee Tully knows about the pact of Ice and Fire and having one of the last Targs bouncing around is tickling the politician in her. That being said she institutes a book ban on Targ history and is always on Ned's ass about them playing dragons. When Arya is gets old enough she makes it a point to put her and Jon next to each other at all times. Jon getting a direwolf are goddammed holy blessing to her. When Robert's dump ass comes to visit she's having a conniption about Jon being recognized and nearly locks his ass in the crypts until he decides of his own free will to sit in the cheap seats before she blows a gasket. She hates the Wall idea because who the Fuck is going to watch this kid as well as she's been doing for the past fifteen years? WHO? If she had found out about Aemon being up there she's have blown up castle black. Jon, who has had to deal with this shit since attaining spatial awareness tries to get Benjen to let him take his night's watch vows at Winterfell's weirwood. Man wants OUT. He can't deaal with tiger mom ass no more. When he comes to visit Bran she slips and says something cryptic and weirdly affectionate and it puts his ass in a tailspin all the way to the Wall.

Like, I know people think it'd go more downhill if she knew about Jon but why? Boring. Uninspired. Booooo. Get fun with it.

Kakashi may be Hokage, but Obito has all that experience of running a criminal organization. He takes one look at a trade agreement and almost rips it up. “Seriously? You’re going to give THAT MUCH? Are you HIGH, Bakashi? You should be getting more out of THEM! You are the one with all the goods!” And that’s how Obito ends up becoming Kakashi’s advisor. And Kakashi first thinks it might get sexy, but Obito’s constantly pointing out mistakes and disadvantages. At least Shikamaru gets time off.

Art request #4. That's a whole comedy drabble, anon! :D

*Obito grew out his black hair again *His outfit is based on Tobi's *Kakashi's stupid books were the first victims of the new advisor *Shikamaru doesn't get time off because Obito is too demanding *The tea was really awful *Obito did notice the absence of the mask, but that's another story

I was just thinking…

Julia is a whole twenty-six-year-old woman… and she’s in the “Junior Anti-Sex League.” A little odd, isn’t it?

Maybe her position is “junior” in the way there are junior officers in the military; meaning that an officer doesn’t necessarily have to be young, just inexperienced, to hold that rank. This theory (if true) implies that there is either an age limit to join; or that she waited to join until much later than her peers. If the latter is true, why did she choose to join? Maybe she joined out of fear of getting caught for being “disinterested” in Party activities; or maybe she was pushed by others because she was “gifted,” and played the devoted zealot a little too well.

It could also be that so many friends and lovers in her life had disappeared, and she was left so lonely and terrified after, that she needed some community — any community, no matter if it hurt her — for emotional support.

Or she could have been conscripted because sexcrime levels were on the rise, and they needed young, devoted people to “fight.”

OR

The whole thing could be a cub scouts-type situation; in that most of the people in the group are actually of an adolescent age, but there are also a few adults who become “leaders” of the group after having been in it as a child.

So if this is true, Julia was once a “golden child” and worked her way up the ranks, and was eventually chosen because of her zeal and intensity to lead the new generation in love for BB. This makes sense, since Julia canonically is the person at the front of processions, waving banners; which is a job a person of more seniority and responsibility would be assigned. This raises has some implications for her deconversion process: Was she so disturbed by the Party’s brainwashing of children (after having seen and participated in it) that it woke her up? Did she decide to stay as a leader willingly, out of some hidden protective instinct, to make their lives in that hellscape a little more tolerable, perhaps by smuggling them food from the Inner Party?

Or, maybe did she not care at all for the children, and only decided to stay in the group so they wouldn’t rat her out (pun intended) like they do every other adult? Maybe she figured “If they look up to me, and I have control over them by enforcing the things they were taught, they won’t suspect me.”

Anyway… that’s all.

Likely Children’s Behavior in the Outer Party

Waving at telescreens to say hello to Big Brother because they literally think he’s in there; and otherwise talking to surveillance equipment like it’s their friend

Drawing pictures of executions they saw on TV or in person (provided the children are allowed writing utensils in school… I’m not sure about that)

Playing “Room 101” with their friends and fake-torturing their friends (or actually torture a “weird” kid who they suspect is going against BB, knowing how these kids are)

Sitting at the telescreen all day like it’s the Saturday morning cartoon channel and singing along or dancing to whatever songs it plays

Kids are likely more terrified of other kids than their parents. Because they have been given government-ordained control over their parents, they exert control over them to cope with their fear of other children and to make themselves look “good” to them.

Peer pressure to vaporize one’s own parents and feeling weird after a certain age if both parents are still alive

Getting bad grades in history class because of forgetting that the history changed since they last studied it and subsequently getting ostracized by everyone (What happens when a child commits thoughtcrime?)

Viewing Big Brother and the Thought Police more as parents than they do their actual parents

Only speaking Newspeak, all the time (would likely become a widespread reality after the Parsons children grow up to have children)

Not recognizing a word their parents used offhandedly, due to their vocabulary being so small, and turning them in on the spot

Obkk ghost marriage fic where after kannabi bridge, the Uchiha decide Kakashi can keep the eye but only if he agrees to marry Obito's ghost in a traditional ghost marriage.

(This also means he officially joins the Uchiha clan. Maybe lean into how he knows very little ab his own clan history, so there's like some minor complexes playing off of that as he ultimately takes up the Uchiha name and traditions, effectively abandoning his own -> which could also play interestingly into his negative views of his father at that age. This also means he moves out of his clan compound and into the Uchiha district— which is actually really good for his mental health)

Kakashi doesn't argue, he sees it as the ultimate atonement actually. He's incredibly dutiful but especially so at that age. He'd take it dead fuckin seriously and be the best ghost bride possible. Instead of constantly going to the memorial stone he has like a proper shrine to honor him in the house where he leaves his favorite foods n stuff

Like little 13 year old widower Kakashi w Rin as his witness rip

I'm not the biggest Rin fan bc her canon characterization feels like that usual boring "girl crush turned martyr" (naruto misogony strikes again rip) and I've yet to find any interpretations that really strike me— with one exception.

I don't remember the fic, and Rin only showed up for part of it, but I remember being rlly taken by her in it. It highlighted her being as struck by Obito's death as Kakashi, with her an official mednin working overtime in the hospital as the war ramped up. Also it gave her a smoking habit!! I can appreciate a well played addiction to cope in text. Idk I just read it and kinda went "woah she suddenly feels like a real person to me"

But like, that for Rin here. She's working triple overtime in the hospital, day and night. The war is getting worse and worse and some nights she comes home w her gloves still stained in the blood of her patients from back to back surgeries where her patients died on the table. They have her listed for eye trauma specifically after her successful transplant for Kakashi, and she's proving to be invaluable for the patients w eye based kekkei genkkai. She wants to go into specifically researching and healing for eye bloodline limits, but is struggling to convince the clans to allow her access to that information.

Kakashi's new home is closer to the hospital that Rin's parents, and stuff w her parents is starting to get... tense. It hurts them, to see their daughter struggling like this. To see her coming home with dulled eyes and bloodied hands. To be waken by her nightmares and then not know how to comfort her.

Rin slowly starts staying over with Kakashi more and more and after a while she's just kind of fully moved in, but neither of them actually really talk about it

Let them be best friends w a kind of codependency on eachother that would be concerning if not for how it's very clearly keeping both of their heads afloat as days go on and things get worse.

Queerplatonic besties Rin and Kakashi sharing the same bed so when they wake up screaming they can help eachother go back to sleep easier. Rin likes it when Kakashi summons his ninken to sleep w them. They sleep easier w eachother bc they feel safer knowing they're there to have eachothers back, just like they would on the field

Anyways, Kakashi moves out of his clan compound and into the Uchiha's. He's neighbors with a little 6 year old Shisui and is kind of picked up by the scruff by a lot of Uchiha who have really weird complex feelings ab Obito's death (many of them feeling bad ab not having reached out before to him / seeing him die so young, and then projecting that onto Kakashi)

Kakashi and sometimes Rin kind of accidentally becoming a babysitter for Itachi both bc of proximity and bc Mikoto is friends with Kushina

On that note -> Minato does not really get the ghost marriage thing. He's civilian born, and the practice is really old and hasn't really been used since like, warring states era. So Minato is kind of weirded out and very "uhhh. Are you SURE this is what you wanna do?" But Kakashi seems set, and like, if it helps him cope???

He is however very supportive of getting Kakashi out of the fucking tomb of his father's house and into the much more populated and lively Uchiha clan compound

Minato makes Kakashi ANBU and designates him as his home guard specifically to keep him off the battlefield. He lowkey does the same to Rin (minus the ANBU part) positioning her in the hospital and making sure she's getting that good good mednin education. If pressed on why she doesn't go out as a field medic, he insists it's because she shows too much promise as a healer to risk— not now that they've lost Tsunade. If Rin can grow to be even half as good as she is, it'll be worth keeping her away from the fighting.

Neither Kakashi nor Rin feel very good about this decision (tho hypocritically, they agree w it when it comes to the other, bc ofc they do)

Rin doesn't die bc I say so and Obito does a comedy spit take when he inevitably learns he's legally married to Kakashi under the eyes of the Sage, Amaterasu and all.

Obito: So you know the whole worm question thing? When people ask if their partner would still love them if they were turned into a worm?

Kakashi: Yeah?

Obito: Do you ever think of how convenient that could be for certain people, if it happened?

Kakashi: What do you mean?

Obito: Okay, say that me and you were dating. And somewhere along the line, you cheated on me. And I found out, but you didn’t know that I found out.

Obito: And one day we’re out together and we have the worm conversation. And I assure you that I’d always love you no matter what you are.

Obito: And then a witch or something comes down and decides to test our relationship by actually turning you into a worm.

Obito: And you’re terrified because even though you’re a creature now, you still have your human brain and you’re aware of everything going on.

Obito: But at the same time, you have trust in me, because you’re sure that I’m still going to take care of you.

Obito: But then, while I’m holding you in my hand, I casually bring up that I know you cheated on me. And your tiny little heart starts to pound. So I take you with me to your secret lover’s home, and make you watch while I erase him from existence.

Obito: And then I go out into the woods to bury him. And I take you off of my shoulder and throw you into his open grave. And I explain that this is the best way I can love you; leaving you to feast on that person’s soon to be rotting body. And then I finish the job and leave you alone with the person you jeopardized our relationship to be with. Hoping that you feel it was worth it, to do that to me. 

Obito: Wouldn’t that be poetic? Wouldn’t that be a thing of beautiful, divine justice?

Obito: Anyways … want to go get some ramen with me? My treat!

Kakashi: …

Rin and Minato, standing nearby: …

Itachi, having come with the medicine that Obito forgot to take that morning: …
