Hi I'm Zippy, this is my Naruto sideblog.

My pronouns are she/her, I'm a real live grownup from Canada, and I am currently living my best nostalgic ninja life. I can’t draw, but I write fic. My Fics

My Ao3 is here if'n you like and my Naruto works are linked directly below:

Sound Off - ShikaTemaTayu canon divergence fic (WIP)

Other’s fanfic is tagged under #zippy recs Drabble Requests Are Open!

I am still taking requests from my Soft Prompts Bingo Card  (still open as of 03/24/22)

Ships and Such

My little dinghy on the shipping lanes is my rare OT3, Shikamaru/Temari/Tayuya (#shikatematayu). Other faves include ShikaTema and KakaGai because canon, ShikaHina and ShinoTen because @spellcasterlight writes the cutest stuff, Tsunade/Sakumo because @depressedhatakekakashi is an enabler, and Kabuto and Tayuya being trollish sibling goals because @kakashiswilloffire is one of the best blog-follow and subsequent friendify decisions I've ever made.

Send me an ask with some characters and a prompt or idea and I’ll do my best! 

I will at least try to write any combo of characters - romantic or platonic - because I can't make up my mind and multiship like the hot mess I am.

I accept OT3′s, rare-pairs and OC’s but please explain a bit of what kind of chemistry you see for the characters and/or tell me about your OC’s to help me out a little. I am the most familiar with the pre-Shippuden cast but will TRY anyone. Not confident with reader x character but will attempt if asked nicely. 

Specialties: Fluff, domesticity, friendship and found family, pregnancy/babies and kidfic, hurt/comfort, comedic cuteness, dialogue, punching you in the heart with feels in the midst of smut/comedy/something lighthearted.

Hard Passes: Non-con, unrelenting angst/tragedy (I need a happy end), incest, exploitative power dynamics (by this I mean teacher/current student is a hard no, but teacher/age-appropriate former student is on the table depending on the context, like AU’s where canon relationship dynamics and/or ages are altered). 

All drabbles come with a Gremlin Clause; by requesting from me you agree not to hold it against me if my brain gremlins decide to hoard your suggestion forever in their idea labyrinth instead of letting me write it. If this happens I may l just shotgun you with some headcanons in point form or try to make it up to you with a different fic. Also I write pretty slow because I have a full time job and a toddler and a smiiidge of ADHD so pls be patient.

As always I reserve the right to say no to a request for personal reasons.

Thanks for checking out my blog and have a great day!

Thinking about THIS piece of art that @shinobimagpie commissioned from animetrashmuffin

And drawn to the idea that Gai doesn’t realize at all who just walked into that poll and decides to go about his day because he can see people gathering around the poor bastard to check up on him

Only for Kakashi to show up at the bookstore the next day with a giant bruise across his face that even his mask can’t hide

And at first Gai doesn’t understand, but then he hears barking outside and follows Kakashi out to see the EXACT dog that he spotted outside the gym sitting beside his dumb owner

And it all clicks into place

Gai spends the next ten minutes stuck between uncontrollable laughter and utter confusion

The Gimli Glider is one of those stories where every aspect sounds more fake than the last and yet it all actually happened.

-A passenger plane was underloaded with fuel because Canada had just converted to the metric system and everyone supposed to double check their numbers got it wrong. -When the plane ran out of fuel they were too far away to make it to an in-service airport and had to head towards the Gimli military base.  Which was shuttered. -They were coming in to fast due to a lack of flaps control and had to perform a series of slips (as shown in the video above) to slow down, basically drifting a giant passenger plane. -As they come down they realized that just because Gimli’s been decommissioned doesn’t mean it’s abandoned because a bunch of people are having drag races on the runway they’re about to need. -Despite everything they managed to land safely and no one was killed or even hurt which is why it’s one of the best air disasters to meme on.

The Wikipedia page on this is fantastic and my favorite line from it is “Flying with all engines out was never expected to occur, so it had never been covered in training.”

this story is beyond incredible!!! but also the actual dialogue from that episode in the video has one of my favorite pieces of dialogue in a documentary ever

“two children have decided to pedal the length of the runway”

“they don’t hear the plane coming for them”

“without engines, it’s silent. and the one thing the 767 doesn’t have”

“is a horn”

In Castle, You Are Kobold With Knife: A Theoretically Possible TTRPG

https://lackoftrumpets.itch.io/incastlekoboldknife This month I have spent some time working on a few projects for game jams and this is the first one to be finished! In Castle, You Are Kobold With Knife, is a game about a dragon being taken away from their kobolds. As one of the kobolds, you must overcome difficult odds in order to press further into the dungeon. If you fail a skill check, your kobold perishes. Don't worry though, you come right back as a new kobold! This game includes a table full of 100 kobold names and 100 titles that can imbue these small lizards with special power! No matter what it takes, you and your band of kobolds will free the dragon! I had a lot of fun working on this small and experimental game for the DUNGEONUARY game jam. The point of this game jam was to make a small dungeon over the course of the month and I thought it would be fun to try and make a little and silly system around taking over the stronghold. I hope you enjoy playing this game as much as I enjoyed making it.

Oh no I love them
