I’ve been lacking the motivation lately to create but no matter what I was determined to do at least 1 Halloween Yamato post so here’s

Mummy Jack-o-lantern Yamato


Happy Halloween

So I love Yamato/Tenzo and idk why but my favorite non-canon way to doodle him is with long hair.

Like there is something about it (IMO) that would’ve been such an interesting look for him to have revisited as an adult. And no, not because of “hashirama vibes” or anything.

But I just imagine it being something that would bring a certain wholesome “femininity” to him, like when he was young, while fluidly meshing with the natural “masculinity” of his adult body type and pragmatic demeanor. The idea just looks and feels so badass in my head. Like a pretty but stern vibe.

And I’ve always kind of HC’d that Yamato is fairly confident in his sexuality when he needs to be (like when playing particular rolls in possible ANBU missions) and that he would be deceptively dominant. So the addition of his long hair would paint him into something more “beautifully masculine” that I think fits his character.

also as a kakayama shipper I absolutely love the idea of Kakashi being either completely flustered by or enamored with the sight of an adult haired Tenzo, as well as feeling great nostalgia while realizing that Yams really went from being and awkward twink to sassy tree twunk which makes me laugh





Anyway it’s like 2 in the morning and my brain won’t shut off so here is some long-haired Yam art⬇️

How we were all looking at Captain Yams during this scene

I couldn’t help myself

I love this man and this meme

Did my best to draw a somewhat realistic Yamato but it’s still mostly in my personal drawing style ‍♀️

Someone made this greenscreen template on tiktok and I couldn’t help myself

Maybe it’s just me but Yamato’s dream always hit me deep. Like he just wanted to be accepted and recognized. To be something to someone(s). To be more than a nameless soldier.

Of course Kakayama is my main headcanon so naturally I believe that kakashi was very much apart of that dream off screen. Even if it wasn’t romantic.

They kinda treated the end of the tsukinomi like no one was really effected. Everything was just ok, and maybe for some it was. But Yamato had to have been reeling from the realization that his dream of being somebody surrounded by the people he loved was a lie. While the torturous nightmare of being captured, used, and left alone to die was his reality. There is no way mans don’t got some serious trama. Shit, I know I would.

Diologue_______

Yamato: it wasn’t real….none of it…it was all a dream. He was…just a dream.

_______________

Don’t mind me I’m just over here still doodling and loving the idea of long haired adult Tenzo I’ll never stop


Dialogue____________

Yamato:Back when I was young and just joined ANBU I had long hair. I cut it due to its impracticality. It’s been so long since then, I can’t even imagine what I’d look like with it now. Seems silly.

Kakashi: I don’t know Tenzo, I think it’s worth re-considering…

Kakashi’s imagination✨: how do I look Senpai?

This was just a fun tattoo doodle I did but if people want to use it as reference or straight up this design for a real tattoo, feel free!

all I ask is that you please credit/link to me herein tumblr @screwusernames27 or @color_v_art on Instagram

I’ll just be over here working on a Yamato tattoo design no one asked for

Quick line contour drawing of Yamato/Tenzo while I was doodling

I just imagine Tenzos first time at a hotspring was just him being a weird root boi and kakashi enjoying his awkward but honest fascination with something that is so normal while also loving his kind of company
