Summary: Aladdin!AU: Living like a thief in Agrabah’s streets, stealing to eat, and being a so-called “father figure” to Naruto, a war orphan he has practically adopted, certainly doesn’t give Iruka such a high life expectancy or comfort. But Iruka is trying to keep himself and Naruto out of unnecessary problems—and the keyword is trying. Because, when Iruka woke up this morning, surely helping a noble, sarcastic, and absolutely-not-gorgeous foreigner to escape the royal guard, involving himself in a conspiracy to overthrow the sultan when all he wanted was steal a simple jewel, and so ending up in a legendary magic cave in the middle of the desert, with a magic carpet and a drunk genius, who, of course, has magic powers and can bestow Iruka literally anything that he wants, wasn’t what he expected, at all.
But, yeah.
Gods may hate Iruka, but—in the end—it is worth the price to kiss the pretty mug of the (fake) sultan Kakashi Hatake.
And now, inexplicably, something that has basically nothing to do with dinosaurs. Although he has kinda chicken legs, which I think are cool.
Grievous has always been my favorite Star Wars character, at the very least because he has a killer design. I’m also a big fan of the Clone Wars in general (mostly just for the planets and lore, Episodes I & II are stinky) since they’re the ones I grew up with. No disrespect on any of the other movies, I just dig this asthmatic, four-arm-havin, cyborg skeleton.
And I draw him next to never so I thought I’d give him a crack for Inktober.
Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said “I want my father back, you son of a bitch”
A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying “there’s nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless.” The Princess Bride’s revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying “there’s nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there’s nothing that can save you.”
fandom as a whole is migrating away from a mutual appreciation of a story and towards an endless cycle of nitpicking and discourse and frankly that’s just Exhausting
