It took a while but it’s finally done.
HOKAGE
The highest authority of Konohagakure, the face of the Fire Country’s military forces and has the duty to lead, administer and protect Konoha and to ensure the maximum prosperity of the village.
KONOHA COUNCIL
The Konoha Council, made up of the village’s top officials and people the Hokage trusts. Their duty is to assist the Hokage in governing Konoha and to offer their opinion on decisions that must be made with the greatest benefit to Konoha in mind.
In addition, in case the Hokage is unable to choose his successor, the council is responsible for finding eligible candidates for the position.
Things to bring back in books:
Some excellent additions from the notes:
Izzy saying he “has love for” Ed was one of my favorite moments, just because it’s one half of two of my favorite turns of phrase in the English language. I love them because the semantic meanings are inverse the literal meanings.
To “have love for” vs to “have feelings for.”
When one says they “have love for” someone or something, they use the stronger more specific word, but semantically, it is usually used to imply a weaker, vaguer feeling. It usually means that while there is love (affection, fondness, warm memories), that feeling is either not the most prevalent among mixed feelings, or is no longer as strong as it once was. We say “I still have love for” something/someone when we mean something to the effect of “I’ve moved on but no hard feelings.”
Versus when one says they “have feelings for” someone, they use the weaker, vaguer word, but semantically, it’s usually used to imply love, and romantic love specifically. This is one of those polite saying-without-saying things. It gives the speaker some level of plausible deniability in the event their feelings are not reciprocated, in which case good manners dictate we pretend to believe that it wasn’t meant that way or at least wasn’t serious or deep enough for the rejection to hurt.
The two phrases as most commonly used have a fun mirrored inverse that enjoy, as a nerd. 😅
So for Izzy to say he “has… love. For” Ed. Well. To me, based on everything we’ve seen of those two, I interpret that as the mixed feelings scenario. It’s definitely a feeling he feels but there are a lot of others in that grab bag, and the love may not even be the strongest of them. Certainly we’ve seen fear, anger, respect, disgust, and a possessive worshipfulness as well. I do believe that he loves Ed, that’s obvious, but I’m less certain that it’s specifically a romantic/sexual sort of love, and in using the language he does, it would seem that Izzy isn’t sure, either.
Vader Time-Travel AU: Vader goes back in time and swears fealty to his mother, without explaining why.
So when the Jedi meet the Skywalkers it is 1) ordinary woman, 2) possibly the most Force-Sensitive youngling in existence and 3) - “Ma'am that is a Sith!”
And Shmi just… goes about her life, trying to cope with freedom and a child she can feel growing capabilities beyond anything she would ever be able to understand and throughout all of her very ordinary struggles there is this towering galactic nightmare following her atound that everyone seems terribly concerned with, but you know what?
Shmi’s met plenty of monsters, but this is still the monster that freed her. That makes awkward overtures of kindness to her. That speaks so slowly and stiltedly and with almost unbearable patience to her son.
She’s working on his bad habits. He listens very well to her.

Crying you’re putting the whole mug on the stove ???? On medium heat???? Ur stove is enchanted
Every single person in this post is a fucking lunatic
Maybe not 100% in character but hey close enough
I just wanted an excuse to draw more funny expressions
Rin got her snickering under control first, though Kakashi probably wouldn’t have admitted he’d found it funny at all. Not to Kei’s face, anyway. Rin just pretended she was putting the conversation aside for later. “So, we’ve got Byakko and Seiryū.” She poked Kei in the shoulder. “And Genbu. Is Suzaku…?”
Kei nodded sharply.
“All right. Well, I’ll take ‘Kirin,’ even if it does mean I might have to change the mask.” Rin tapped at the blunt porcelain beak. “I couldn’t pull off ‘Kōryū’ even if I tried.”
“Might be a little too close to your real name,” Obito said, “if the point is to hide that.”
“I’ll take my chances.” Rin huffed, because there really wasn’t much chance of somebody here working out who she was and being able to take real advantage of it. Rin was a part of their team here, and assumed all risks to do with that, but she wasn’t incurring any more risks by taking this mission as herself.
“It’s just a theme,” Kei griped again, but didn’t push back more than that.

Every once in a while, I'll go and find a picrew and see how close I can get to making Kei in it. Closest I could get was before she got her scar, so she can't be older than thirteenish.

Remember when Terry played the Joker like a fiddle cause I sure do
Joker status: [ ] Told [ ] Told like a bitch [X] Batman: The Brave And The Told
Terry is literally what bruce would’ve been if his parents didn’t die. Well either that or terry got his sense of humor from his mom.
I love Batman Beyond because it’s basically Spider-Man as Batman with a healthy dosage of cyberpunk.
The best part is this isn’t just Terry fucking with Joker, Terry realized after bats told him “Joker likes to talk” that he likes to talk too. So he decided to answer joker back with something Joker was never expecting. Joker could easily deal with the typical hero “you won’t get away with this” talk or someone being absolutely quiet. But mockery? taking the piss? Telling joker straight up “you ain’t shit?”
He can’t take a joke

There are a lot of great educators out there, but too many people just to critique without actually considering why it's like that.

so i have a mildly popular “reblog and put in in the tags” post going around and its. very clear how many people don’t know how to interact with a tumblr post
so, first of all, tumblr’s culture has changed a lot in the past couple years. there’s a genuine community effort to not start any drama, and ironically a lot of the current hostility is an effort to keep things calm. there’s also a change in how people interact with posts, so if you haven’t been here in a while please skip down to the tags/replies/reblog with text section.
for newcomers: you should be reblogging posts about as liberally as you would like something on twitter. if you only like stuff, people will think you are rude/a bot. you’ve probably heard people talk about “cultivating your dash,” and thats because this platform is 100% centered around your dashboard. trending matters less, unfollowing and blocking in order to shape your dash into it’s best form is widely accepted, the majority of the content you’ll find and interact with will be because of your dash, and the only way to put things on your dash is to reblog them. tumblr users are deeply distrustful of algorithms and have largely turned off the “see posts your friends have liked” function (i recommend you also turn of the various algorithms in settings → general settings → dashboard preferences).
so, once you’ve reblogged a post, there’s three ways to add content to it. the tags, replies, and reblogging with text. all of them have different connotations
the tags: an inside voice. originally they were meant for organizing your blog (and they’re still used for this), but they’ve also morphed into a way to share thoughts that aren’t funny/insightful enough for non-followers to be interested in. when in doubt, put your comment in the tags
replies: basically talking to your friends in class. your followers have no way of finding your replies (they don’t pop up on the dash, nobody gets notified except for the original poster) so chances are, only the person who made the post is gonna see your comment. it’s for quick one-offs that you’re okay with other people overhearing, but really is only made for one person. they’re like a public dm
reblog with text: an outside voice. you’re getting up on a stage in town square and entertaining people. make sure it’s funny or insightful— bottom line, add something new to the conversation. you should use this the least
general rules of thumb:
Finally real advice for new users. This is a solid guide for how to make the transition from Twitter to Tumblr.
In particular, artists need you to reblog. A reblog helps them get seen. A like doesn’t help them at all.
