Sounds a lot easier to write about, since generally Hunter Nin don't have the time to interrogate their targets unless they were specifically assigned a retrieval mission instead of their usual search & destroy (as in, kill the target and annihilate the corpse) fare.
It's cool lol I don't need to exactly understand Ankos shota-fetish to enjoy the ride
Oh, yeah, I'm well aware of the ways pervasive fanon can distort canon characters and concepts. I could probably go all day... probably shouldn't, though. In the meantime I'll buckle in for what promises to be an interesting ride exploring Anko's character and relationship with Daisuke and... whoever else they end up close to.
The interesting thing is that the main reason depends on the fandom- though in the case of Naruto it's probably just people not actually reading the source material before fanfics and assuming the fanfics are correct.
Yeah it's had me strike as weird as well. Especially since anko has trust issues due to orochimaru's betrayal
Hidan is it you
It's either that or one person comes up with an interesting AU idea, and then someone reads the fanfic and misses the fact that it's an AU, writes a fanfic with some of the ideas and it kind of permeates from there.
Oh god, I could go all day. That's not even getting into- no, no, gotta stop there. Wrong thread.
No that's Jashin. Hidan's god
Nah, I just needed a sec to calm down- it's all good. Thanks for the offer, though
Anko considering the potential tea sets and how they'd symbolically represent her relationship with Daisuke was... really interesting, and I liked it a lot. It added a lot of passive depth to her character, and let us deeper into her thought process alongside her consideration of recent events.
You know I'm reminded of a post that I've saved a while back, can't remember where I got it from, but I'm pretty sure it's accurate, or at least not derailing here.
In the vein of that, Team 9 as a whole felt pretty... tertiary to the reveal scene in particular. Like they weren't supposed to be there, except for Gai to accidentally set up Sarutobi completely destroying Hisako's heart in the next scene.
snerks Uh, to be honest it seems more like you had a very clear picture of where you wanted to be at the end of this arc, but kind of ended up speedrunning it to get there instead of fleshing everything out.
That's as good a reason to hate writing Team 9 as any I suppose, but I was being honest when I said it felt like you were speedrunning the arc. Reading back through, it's as if you had two goals in mind: "Get Daisuke's RPG-ness revealed" and "get the harem idea out in the open and a source of conflict with Hisako", and didn't quite care how you got there as long as it was by the end of the quest.
I agree with this, you did write the characters themselves well.
Anyone who has ever read a ton of fanfiction in their youth can sympatize with Fanmade content twisting their perspective on characters.
Thank you. *Takes cookie. Eats it.* Hhhhmmmmm digital triple chocolate deliciousness. I can taste the 1s and 0s. Also no problem with the information. I've been meaning to share that for a while, but I just couldn't find a good reason to share it until now.Have a cookie, you've got a good memory!
