slowly by son lux for the gardens verse thing

math-is-magic:

(This is for an ask meme from ages ago: what gardens verse would you write if you had to pick a line from the given song to title it?)

Okay, I have even less of an idea with what to do here than with the other, as far as verses go, but like. There are at least two lines in here that just Grabbed me so I thought to at least point them out, even if I don’t know what gardens verses they would go with.

The chorus, “slowly lie to me” is like. A Shikako mood all the time. That’s literally her life. Just. Slowly building up lies about how she knows what she knows, and lying about knowing things until she can.

“if I split in two you will be to blame“ is like. A genuine worry I have for Shikako. She’s gotten better, but we know if she shadow splits, she leaves, basically, pieces of her soul in both of her selves. What happens if one of her halves gets destroyed? Does she only have what was in her current half left of herself? 

And that’s not even the metaphorical meaning, of Shikako being pulled in so many directions, especially between Shikamaru and her team. Maybe a verse where the native Shikako died because she had an accident trying to split herself into two? Let Shikamaru have the scared, childish shadow he loved growing up, and give her team the warrior she becomes. And instead all she did was shred her spirit, and she died. Something like that.

i feel like sasuke tends to respond well to people very different from him, and more specifically different from itachi (and therefore the self he tries very hard to be)

there’s a reason stupid loud (courageous, bold, caring) naruto is the one who gets through to him more often than not. when he’s left to actually pick who to be around, the team he picks for himself are all ridiculous, wild messes in one way or another. i think it’s too speculative to get into WHY exactly he prefers these people, but i think it’s very visible that it’s good for him

which is why i think, as much as i love kakashi, he wasn’t really the best teacher for him

and this is reason #43564 why we should’ve had anko train sasuke thanks for ur time
