people call kakashi emotionally incompetent but honestly i think he’s the opposite. he always seems to have the right words to say to people close to him when they’re hurting. like he didn’t walk away from iruka during the famous park bench scene, instead he turned back around and straight up told iruka that he’d provide a listening ear if he wanted to talk. he comforted naruto during the land of waves arc after zabuza and haku were laid to rest next to each other. he was the one to go find naruto after his talk with nagato and konan to make sure that he was okay and to bring him back to konoha. kakashi doesn’t turn away from emotionally intense situations and honestly i think he’s quite good at maneuvering them! it’s very interesting to me that in fanon he’s always shown as someone who avoids social interactions and fumbles when it comes to others’ emotions when time and time again it’s shown in canon that he supports his comrades emotionally with little discomfort.

rb this with ur opinion on this shade of pink:
Seeing "realistic" fanart of anime characters
Okay, this is 100% me procrastinating, but I took the liberty of translating those ‘excerpts’ of Icha Icha Tactics we got when everyone was trying to figure out the code and Kakashi got so embarrassed at having to read it out. I don’t know if anyone cares about this except me, but if you ever wondered, well, I’m your girl. disclaimer: i am an idiot so i’m sorry if these are inaccurate. also this might not be sfw idk i’ma assume not. This is from episode 154 of Shippuden/chapter 407.
so, from right to left, since it’s Japanese, but i guess read in order of numbers if you wanna get a narrative going for yourself.
page 31. ‘Do you really love me?’ (kinda sad when you have to ask this after sex.)
page 8. ‘It’s the same as bartering’ (I learnt a 4 kanji combination i’ll probably never use again for this… I also am not sure what this means really but since it’s the page after discovering that something is really big it doesn’t seem good.)
page 106. ‘The leaves are in the way’
page 7. ‘It’s surprisingly big’ (lol… also page 7. just smut from the outset huh, no slow burn or nothing) (from the sentence ending I’m assuming female speaker probably)
page 207. ‘That’s impossible’ or maybe ‘I can’t do that’ (also probs female)
page 15. ‘The chair’s creaking’ (ギシギシ specifically means the sounds of sex/bed creaking and a woman moaning, so… chair sex is happening here i guess. page 15 too. wow.)
As a bonus, I’ll see what I can do with the little bit more we got of page 31 when Kakashi was holding it and started to freak out when he realised he’d have to read his book aloud, but the sentences get cut off so it might not make as much sense.
Okay, so reading vertically, from right to left:
‘Do you really love me?’
‘So, I have proof of that -’ or maybe ‘So, I’ll prove it [to you]’ (I think the word cut off at the end is 証拠, meaning evidence, and there isn’t a verb shown so I’m just guessing)
‘It’s gotten dark, so..’ (Again, cut off)
‘Come on, (let’s) quickly (go) to my place…’ (filling in the verb)
‘Just this once…’ (I think..)
‘I’ll do anything’ (male speaker)
‘Your hormones…’ (Wtf?! Your hormones what)
‘Nobody will come in for an hour’
(It’s all cut out, only word i can make out is ‘your’ for the last line)
Okay, so… I don’t feel as accomplished as I thought I would, but I hope I entertain someone with this lol. Maybe I should do a Kakashi smut drabble based on each line or something lmao.
i have a normal and reasonable amount of emotions when thinking about characters
It’s okay, forget the bell. You wouldn’t have gotten it anyway, even if hell froze over.
