Suddenly, I'm So Painfully Bored

[redbrunja]

 I'm in the last leg of my epic unpacking, room reorganizing, cleaning thing (all that's left to do is organize my papers and folders for the last quarter, deciding what should be recycled and what should be kept) and I am so. very. bored.

All is quiet on my flist.

Talk to me, please? About anything. Seriously, bring on the epic threads about fluffy kittens or fictional character's undergarments.

Actually, fictional character's underpants sounds like it could be a good meme.

Well it's not fluffy kittens, but as my cats get older they're getting more affectionate. They were always big old mush balls, but the smaller one used to be more skittish. He's hilarious now: always begging to be picked up, and when he does he wants to crawl right up over my shoulders. I could wear him as a living stole if I wanted. It's pretty cute.

I recently watched pretty much every episode of a show called Burn Notice. Have you seen it? I'm kind of loving it so far. I think Fiona would be a chick you'd like.

As for underwear, I find it odd that whenever a kunoichi's bra is mentioned in fanfic, it's usually something sexy or a t-shirt kind of bra, even on missions. Don't you think they'd be wearing sports bras? Especially the girls with bigger chests. I don't see any way Hinata could be running around on a mission in something that doesn't have that kind of support.

I'm a 34J and I might as well wear nothing if I wear a sports bra. A good, supportive underwire is what I wear while working out... see, after a point on the big breastage scale, sports bras either suffocate you or fit as more of an undershirt. And honestly, even the ones that suffocate you don't actually do the same support as an underwire. I remember they used to work pretty well, but once I got past a D/DD they became totally useless.

Burn Notice is kind of okay though. I watch it with my brothers and it's interesting enough.

See, I'm 34C, and an underwire does not cut it when I run. Even when I was an A, I really needed a sports bra or I'd be hurting. I could get away with it for maybe fifteen minutes, but when I was playing soccer six days a week? I practically lived in one. So maybe Tsunade wouldn't wear one, but I don't think any of the other women in Naruto are too much bigger than me.

[systemaurora.livejournal.com]

well, an underwire doesn't really "cut it" for me either, but it works a heck of a lot better than sports bras! I still bounce like crazy, but tbh I've yet to find any bra that keeps you from bouncing like crazy when you're past a DD/F. It's just varying degrees of bouncy, lol. It's also possible they make underwire bras differently for a C vs. a DDD+, since my G/H/I/J bras look and wear a lot different than the underwire bras I wore as a younger teenager.

[strange_quark]

Aha, yeah, I can only imagine your predicament. I think they do structure bras differently for the larger cup sizes; my friend is a triple F and we were comparing one day.

And, actually (to completely contradict my point... lol), I know smaller chested (A-higher B) women who do prefer to work out in regular bras because they think sports bras are constricting. It's just that in my experience, when you get women who don't just work out but are extremely athletic, playing sports and such, you get to a point where you really can't. I'm quite comfortable in a sports bra, but for a while I wore them nearly every day. Everyone on all of my teams did.

Then again, for DDD+ women, I don't know how that would be. I bow to your expertise there.

I forgot that I actually do have a "sports bra" that works moderately well... it still suffocates me, but it's built specifically for 34I-J (which is easierthan saying 34DDDDDDD, btw O_O), has underwires, and looks more like a really really modest regular bra than a sports bra. So idk if that actually even counts as a sports bra. XD But yeah, when I was 12-14 and a C-DD I remember I wore sports bras every single day no matter what I was doing, and they were relatively supportive. Granted, I wore them because I wasn't allowed to wear anything else (eccentric single mom on limited funds and time and views of modern fashion sense, or something), so by the time my step-mom handed me down her C bras they didn't cover my nipples, so... yeah.

I actually have no idea what I was trying to say with that. Think I'm going to go play Tomb Raider while I wait for meds and coherency to kick in, I think, lol.

Awwwww, that sound so adorable.

And yeah, I've caught a couple episodes of Burn Notice here and there - it seems like a pretty cool show and I like how Fiona is even more hardcore than Michael is, sometimes.

As for underwear, I find it odd that whenever a kunoichi's bra is mentioned in fanfic, it's usually something sexy or a t-shirt kind of bra, even on missions.

You know, the only time I remember hearing about a kunoichi's bra, it's usually during sexy-fun-times in Konoha, where the sexy makes sense, or it's a the one-arm bra that Sakura is shown wearing.

But, agree. I bet Hinata has a whole drawer full of practical sports bras and not one bit of sexy lingerie.

[strange_quark]

I think Fiona is hilarious in that Michael's always having to hold her back. He's always making her use less C4 than she wants and she always pouts about it. (Not to mention that she can make it herself...)

I've run across one, maybe two fanfics that involved sex on a mission, and Sakura was wearing a regular bra. I'd rather have seen them have to deal with a sports bra, but then again I like seeing a little awkward in the sexy. It makes it more real.

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

Honestly, most of the sports bras I have had clasps in the back, so for me it wouldn't have been that awkward.

How about chest bindings? I've written a character wearing those, mostly because the unwrapping process is rather sexy. :)

Edit: And chest bindings do have that hint of kinky bondage fetishism to them too.

(Regular!Sakura wears something cottony and practical with a little lace to make it girlier, Akatsuki!Sakura wears naughty underthings as it's part of the Evil Organization contract, and Sasori goes commando, because a puppet doesn't need underpants!)

[strange_quark]

For kink factor, I can suspend my disbelief enough to buy wrappings. For practicality, damn, those would be a bitch to put on and take off all the time!

Akatsuki!Sakura wears naughty underthings as it's part of the Evil Organization contract

LOL. The Akatsuki put that in their contract? Awesome. Pain only put it in to require Konan to be wearing something naughty all the time.

[goldengrimoire.livejournal.com]

Yes, it must be true!

Although Akatsuki!Sakura would wear them anyways, because she's pervy like that. :D

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

I've seen chest bindings a decent amount in fic. While they're hot, I think they would also be pretty inconvenient.

After 'The Window' I cannot imagine Sakura in anything other than french-cut cotton panties of multiple hues, with various cutesy images on them - various fruits, sweet little comments, kisses, kanji for words like 'medic' and 'hospital' and 'bitable, etc.

Heh, Hinata's lack of a suitable bra is actually the major plot point of one of my main fic's offshoot one-shots that I'm planning to write like I don't have enough to work on as it is--she's starting to be in a serious amount of discomfort because all her clothing (including her specially made, super-supportive bra) was trashed when Kabuto "rescued" her and bandage bindings aren't cutting it anymore.

Kabuto: You know, if the size is such a problem for you, I'd be more than happy to do something about it...

Hinata: O.O;;;

[strange_quark]

Hahaha oh God. Among the lesser used of Kabuto's skills: breast augmentation. He better not, s'all I'm saying. Hinata's got fabulous knockers.

[amaiko.livejournal.com]

He's a true Renaissance man. *snickers*

He did mostly say it just to see how Hinata would react as Kabuto is quite fond of those fabulous knockers too. :D Though I can't say he wouldn't jump on the chance to perform legitimate surgery on Hinata if it came to that...
