GILMORE GIRLS 5.09 | Emily Says Hello
Can someone who knows the Murderbot series help me (in a non-spoilery way) with a quick timeline question to make sure I haven’t picked these up in the wrong order?
Under a cut so I don’t spoil my sister who hasn’t finished Book 5 yet.
i am not usually interested in dramatically canon-divergent scenarios because the canon story is what compels me, but i've been obsessed with this moment ever since i re-heard it during my second viewing. from the perspective of someone who already finished the story once and now knows the truth - this was wild.
WHAT IF?
#naruto#naruto manga#pan watches naruto#team ro#WHAT was itachi thinking#i mean it's clear that he makes this 'change of plan' because he's taken aback/alarmed by how much kakashi knows#and my assumption is he wants to find out where kakashi got this intel#but for real WHAT was his long-term plan?#it is no secret that i am obsessed with the kakashi-itachi dynamic and like. this is just wild to me#especially given the timing - hiruzen just died so like. does itachi even have a contact in the village anymore?#is it *danzo*? seems nuts but.#if it is then this plan is insane. danzo doesn't love kakashi but he does respect him highly as a shinobi/an asset to the village#and i absolutely do not think he'd be willing to let itachi sacrifice a piece that powerful#was itachi just going to keep quiet about this if/when the Leaf asked where their most renowned jonin went? was he going to LIE about it?#or does the fact that hiruzen is dead mean that itachi *doesn't* have a contact in the village he trusts anymore#(hence him showing up immediately after hiruzen dies just to remind the Other Three that he's still out there)#except he didn't expect kakashi to sniff him out INSTANTLY and now he's taking him captive because...???#i don't know why#to torture him until he reveals his intel source and then kill him?#except itachi DOESN'T want to kill kakashi. that's established.#'why not just kill me? if he wanted to...he could.'#that's canon and it's GREAT and i love looking back at that very early line from much later on#knowing it's one of the pieces that clicks into place for kakashi when he's considering whether or not madara's story could be true#but anyway. itachi DOESN'T want to kill kakashi.#but if he takes him captive and doesn't want to kill him - then what???#there aren't any good answers for this because honestly i don't know that itachi's entire backstory had been planned yet#(like i think i read somewhere that kishimoto knew itachi was technically on the villlage's side from the beginning)#(but i'm not sure if all the details had been established)#in any case i remain FASCINATED

writing a book is basically just trying to find 80,000 different ways to say “they looked at each other”

HE WAS SO MAD
Tsunade's reaction to Kakashi walking away:
#naruto#naruto manga#meta#this is obviously a crucial kakashi scene and i take it seriously#but on a lighter note it's amusing to look back on this and see tsunade's first real attempt to give kakashi an order#she's been out of the village for a long time and has not interacted with him since he was a child#but he was an ENORMOUS pain in everyone's ass back then too#and she comes back after like. twenty years#and the first time she tries to tell him what to do he says 'no' and walks out of her office and does the exact opposite#like - that is the face of a woman who is suddenly remembering that her best employee had an authority problem at age 5#on a more serious level though -#there is something wildly compelling to me about this. about them.#'don't worry yourself' is an insane thing to say to the hokage before you shut the door in her face and abscond to do whatever tf you want#but equally insane is the fact that she LETS HIM GO.#she's flustered - taken aback at the blatant disobedience - but ultimately?#she still lets him go. she does not chase him. she does not tell the gatekeepers to stop him at the wall.#she does not interfere with his decision to disobey her OR his choice to save the children#NOT because she doesn't know how to enforce her will or punish people who make her job harder#it's because despite the decision she's been trapped into making#some part of her hears kakashi's unapologetic defiance and recognizes that he's right.#just. i'm thinking about kakashi and tsunade in part ii and how much she trusts him and how heavily she relies on him#and how deeply he respects her but also how he isn't afraid of her#tsunade knew kakashi was meant to be hokage long before kakashi did. she told jiraiya as much in the pain arc.#she's known it for years. the scene above was the first sign she got.#i think...for tsunade kakashi represents someone who succeeded where she 'failed' (quotes bc i don't think she 'failed' at anything)#because - like jiraiya - she ran away and gave up hope while kakashi stayed and endured and kept trying and trying and trying#and now look at him. grown-up and transformed into someone who doesn't apologize for disobeying orders in order to save lives#he's transcended his father's legacy. he's sakumo without the crippling shame.#i think tsunade thinks about that a lot.
