I Don't Ship Tsunade/Orochimaru...

... but it occurs to me that he actually stuck around Konoha and Tsunade until he was kicked out during which time Jiraiya had a (presumably)
 loving family and took a three-year walkabout in the middle of a war. God, no wonder Orochimaru's pissed at Jiraiya.

I've yet to see a fic that played with that, and the differences between Orochimaru and Sasuke in that respect.

Not to take away Tsunade's agency in any of her choices but I highly doubt Orohimaru was helpful to her mental state in her latter teens and if she's already watched one of her teammates randomly decide to go off to laze about when he was probably needed back home can't had done much to make her want to stick around. I just can't help but imagine that having someone around to feed all her nihilistic attitudes for three years straight can't have been helpful.

I have no idea where any of this is going, just that... possibilities.

Dirty Wrong Fandom Confession

So, I know the anti-casting comm is called aang_aint_white  but is it just me, or does Aang actually look rather... caucasian?

Sokka and Katara could not be more Inuit if they were called Inuit, the Fire Nation looks like Japanese people think they look like (angled eyes, pale skin) and the Earth Nation is that delightfully mixed race tan with almond eyes that everyone on the planet is going to be eventually, but Aang...

Has pale skin and round, gray/blue eyes. I mean, up until 'The Awakening' I thought that he was going to be blond or have pale brown hair.

The Avatar is actually the one character I thought would be fitting as a white kid.

Everyone else as white is still a fracking crime, though.

I reallyreallyreally need to quit fandomsecrets

'How I Met Your Mother' Cast In 'The Best of 2008'

I have no idea how Indiana Jones: The Curse of the Crystal Skull got on ANY best of list. However, NPH as Indiana? Colbie Smulders as bad ass russian chick?

FUCK YES.

I have a feeling I'm going to get lynched but.... I liked it.

Okay, Flist, I Know I Ask A Lot Of You...

 But I'm going to ask for more, because Christmas is a time for greed and commercialism.

Okay, backstory: enderxenocide  and I neatly divide Team 7 up into our OTPs. She takes the pairing of boyhood rivalry, and I take the sexy-hot student teacher pairing of FUCK YES.

Now, she has a lovely icon to illustrate that here.

I would love an icon that is the reverse of that: Kakashi and Sakura in the foreground, Sasuke and Naruto in the back.

The problem? I have no idea where to find an image to use for it. I'd take screen caps, anime opening, manga page, or fanart.

Can you help a girl out?
