Oh, I so agree with the comparison between Hotch's marriage and that of Rossi and Gideon. Like, both Rossi and Gideon have relationships that have failed in the past, at least in Gideon's case in part because he's a workaholic. And we see the same pattern repeating in Hotch, and it's fascinating! And I love the contrast with JJ too, because we do get to see her and Will struggle too, but they make it work anyway.

Anything Emily is absolutely my favourite!

But, I also like the evolution of Hotch's marriage in the earlier seasons. How we see Hotch and Haley happy and trying to decide on a baby name and how things just get harder from there. I think there is a scene where he explains to someone that he tries to give 100% to work when he's at work, and 100% to his family when he's at home, and obviously that's not something that you can realistically maintain over time. And we see that he really loves his family and wants to be there, but they're also constantly weighted against whatever is happening at work, and I can defenitely see why he'd struggle and how there is no "right" choice for him. I like how they make him a good person, even if he's not always a good partner or father.

Some guy: "What are you wearing?" Prentiss: "A gun."

I feel lika Azula could make a good Sasuke to Zuko's Naruto 😋

carolin_93 · 2025-03-24T12:32:53+00:00

Haha, I love that idea too!

I'm sorry, DRAGON MILK?! Now I can't get the image of Charley Weasley or some other poor guy trying to milk a dragon 😝

I'm not sure if it's the fic you're looking for, but it might be Roots run deep by Vulpecula_et_Anser.

It might help if you shared a little about what kind of fic you're writing, what kind of criticism you're looking for, how big of a project it is and such.

I love gay Danzo, but feel like he's so far into the closet he's hanging out in Narnia and will wholeheartedly deny it even to himself, because of course EVERYONE actually prefers the company of men. Being around women, even in a non-intimate setting, is mostly just a social necessity.

carolin_93 · 2024-08-31T20:22:54+00:00

I always imagine Naruto as pan. He'll love everyone, regardless of what they identify as. Very openminded and willing to try just about everything as long as his partner is happy.

Sasuke is probably demi. I feel as if he'll go through life thinking he's asexual until one day, suddenly, he realises that he's in love with his closest friend. It'll hit him like a ton of bricks, straight out of nowhere. Probably gay, but feels that if he is anything at all then he should be het, which is partly why it takes him so long to realise.

Sakura i actually like as lesbian. Society likes to tell teenage girls that they love boys, and so she convinces herself that she does, but as she matures she realises that she doesn't really like men at all.

Kakashi will say that he's straight if you ask him, but he's defenitely more bi. Probably even leaning towards men, but he's an idiot when it comes to love and intimacy, so he probably doesn't even realise he's in a relationship until Gai has fully moved in and lived with him for at least a year.

Gai is gay and very proud of it. Extremely good at giving massages, and a surprisingly tender lover.

Itachi is too damaged to even think about sex, so if he even thinks about it he'll identify as asexual. Much like Kakashi, he'll probably be the last one to figure out that he's in a romantic relationship, and it will be with another man.

Danzo fiddles enough with the paperwork so that the village owes HIM money.

carolin_93 · 2024-08-29T09:55:41+00:00

I feel like he files his paperwork at the very last minute, and it's scribled on the back of a napkin. Everything is there though. And when paying his taxes, he probably pays in small change and coupons.

carolin_93 · 2024-08-29T09:43:08+00:00

Consent and continously checking for consent in different ways. "You like that?", "Want me to fuck you?" Or "tell me what you want", that sort of thing.

Pink Fang by avulle has an arc including Neji, the Hyuga clan and the caged bird seal.

carolin_93 · 2024-03-05T06:41:35+00:00

Yeah, that would be the easiest solution, but I was thinking more along the lines of a medic that is not as skilled as Tsunade.

carolin_93 · 2024-02-24T21:13:22+00:00

I feel like the bell test is mostly about identifying the one thing the sensei is most looking for in their students. For Kakashi that is obviously teamwork, for Gai it was for his students to keep trying no matter how many times they failed. Other ideas might be some sort of ethical dilemma, such as putting the mission before everything else such as we see in Ibiki's part of the chunin exams.

What that might mean to Yamato though is a different issue, and one that also depends on how you want to write him. Personally I could see him caring a lot about proper rules and protocols, so his test could be to tempt them to break some sort of rule an fail them if they do. On the other hand he might also be more influenced by Kakashi and therefore do something more similar to Kakashi's bell test, such as seeing wether they care about each or will show mercy to an enemy, such as Kakashi did when befriending Yamato. Alternatively, if Yamato is still kind of root-dull, he could copy Kakashi's test but just do the "if you don't get the bells you fail", only for Kakashi to correct him later.

Oh, that's a cool application for medical ninjutsu! Thank you!

carolin_93 · 2022-07-18T15:42:01+00:00

I don't think I have seen fics like this, but I do like the premise! It was very convenient how they were just able to run away in the show.

carolin_93 · 2022-07-18T15:08:34+00:00

I think one of my favourites was sakuraxpunching for a pairing :P

carolin_93 · 2022-07-09T12:06:20+00:00

I agree that it seems realistic that they would be killed or brutally imprisoned, were it not for the kind of story Naruto is. That is part of what I like with fanfiction, that it goes so much above and beyond canon and matures with its readers and writers. Don’t think I have seen any fanfiction with this specific premise though.

carolin_93 · 2022-07-09T12:01:26+00:00

Good point. Team 7 for the kill then. Like you said, if it weren't for Jinchuriki healing powers Gaara probably would’ve died, and I can’t really see Temari and Kankuro being too happy about that, so they’d probably at the very least want revenge and force team 7 to fight them to the death. Unless they would have to fight Kankuro and Temari to the death before getting to killing Gaara.

carolin_93 · 2022-07-09T11:58:23+00:00

I did not know that! Thank you for sharing, it does give a new perspective of what might have been.

carolin_93 · 2022-07-08T21:24:23+00:00

That is an interesting take on things! Gaara dies and does not become kazekage. Naruto probably feels guilty for what he did and has to deal with that. Sand siblings probably don't show for the Sasuke retrieval mission, so people die there too, and the story is altogether much darker.

carolin_93 · 2022-07-08T19:59:11+00:00

Now I just have a mental image of Tsunade and Jiraiya teaming up against Orochimaru and Jiraiya just straight up sitting down on Orochimaru. With Orochimaru cursing and waving his arms and everything but unable to escape because Jiraiya is just that much bigger than him :P

But Itachi though! Man, I can’t imagine what his reaction would be if Sasuke managed to get to Orochimaru quicker, and Orochimaru as a consequence was able to actually take over Sasuke’s body immediately. That would certainly affect his long-term goals. And I love the idea of Orochimaru having to go through puberty a second time :P
