I love Izuocha because for Ochaco it’s “I know you’re going through hell and it’s a hell I know absolutely nothing about, but you don’t have to tell me. I don’t have to know what you’re going through to help you because I would go to the ends of the Earth to find you and bring you home and carve out a safe place in the world for you to rest. But part of me will never be able to shake the worry that we’re holding each other back from all our other dreams. Someone needs to help the heroes, so I want to be the person who helps you. You inspire me and I hope I can inspire you too someday.”
And for Izuku it’s like “I’ve never been anything special in anyone’s life before so when you have to constantly help me it makes me feel like a burden. I have trouble separating the fact that you’re just generally a good person from the fact that you do actually like me. One day I hope to repay all you’ve done for me, but we’ve been so busy that I haven’t gotten the chance or spent as much time with you as i want - I said once that spending time with you was a perfect way to spend it and I stand by that, because now whenever we are together I see how much you’ve grown and I wonder if you realise it about yourself too.”

Ouuu I’m sorry this is such a late response, I was drafting it out and I totally forgot to finish it!
Figuring out the timeline of Naruto is HELL, but from what I gather, Sasuke was a part of Team 7 for about a year. For plot purposes, we don’t really see how Team 7 bonds, but we know they basically meet up / train / go on missions every day. During the Wave arc, Kakashi gives the whole “abandoning your teammates makes you worse than scum” speech to a group of impressionable 12 year olds. Not only that, he’s been drilling the idea of teamwork since the very first meeting. On top of all that, it’s established at the academy that it’s essential for teams to gel if they want to survive on the field (the team becomes your second family, wink wink.)
Considering all of that, no I don’t think it’s unrealistic to believe that Sasuke begins to cherish Team 7 (something that is CANONICALLY proven, and I’ll prove it after this.) His time with his team provides structure, routine, and an escape from his relentless thoughts abt revenge (and if there’s one thing I know, kids need routine and structure, even if regrettably, that comes from being a fucking child soldier.) Team 7 becomes Sasuke’s support system. I’m not pulling this out of my ass btw - after seeing Itachi again, Sasuke himself acknowledges that because he spent so much time being with his team, he forgot abt his revenge (for clarification cos I’m too lazy to find the manga page, this is when Kisame and Itachi come after Naruto while he’s training w Jiraiya.)
During the invasion arc / Naruto’s fight against Gaara, Sasuke calls Naruto and Sakura his “precious comrades.” (Even without the words, if you read the manga, it’s clear from Sasuke’s body language that he cares about/is very protective over his team.) When Kakashi is trying to convince Sasuke to forget about his revenge, Naruto and Sakura are the people he thinks about.
Somewhere between the formation of Team 7 and Sasuke’s defection, Naruto and Sakura have become important people to Sasuke, so much so that the thought of leaving them behind almost convinces him to stay (but of course, in the end, his hatred for Itachi and need for revenge wins over.)
I’ve seen the criticisms and I’ll admit that the execution of Team 7 as a family is not as strong as it could’ve been. But I do think that if you read the manga, you can see Kishimoto’s efforts. And canonically, Sasuke cares deeply about Naruto and Sakura, and anyone who tries to argue against that is wrong 🤷🏻♀️
Another random whumpy sketch I did a long time ago and never finished until now. Just cleaned it up a teensy for posting. Not sure who/what is attacking them? Somehow this is happening at the dorms where they're super-vulnerable. I dunno. Anyone want to color this they can go ahead.
Done for a private collector. I'm glad I got to draw this! I've enjoyed all the arcs in MHA, but this was one of my faves. I included Eri clutching onto Lemillion's torn-up cape as a little nod to his also being her hero.
I included the simple color and black and white lines just because. Commissioner has given permission for anyone who wants to try and color the black and white lines. :D
Hello everyone! I have the pleasure to announce that my commissions are now open~
It’s been almost 2 years since I last opened but, sadly, it is motivated today by important needs. As I am going through a tough time, this would really help me cover some of my bills & food and focus on my final competitive exams next year without worrying about having to take a job for basic incomes.
If you need any more info about my commissions, please feel free to send a message on this platform or e-mail me on namissnarratrice@gmail.com!
Finally, here are some fandoms I know and/or already drew for in the past
Whether you do commission me, pledge for a tier on my Patreon, pay me a ko-fi or simply like and reblog this post and my work in general, any kind of support is greatly appreciated! [links in bio]
Here's another izuocha collab with the amazing @jellojolteon, who did the amazing painting while I did the line art. As always, it is such a pleasure, jello!
