I Think Outside Of Characters That Are Wasted Potential In Naruto, I Think A Concept That Was Definitely

I think outside of characters that are wasted potential in Naruto, I think a concept that was definitely wasted is the Chunin Exams. It would’ve been a really good way of wrapping up certain plot lines in Naruto pt. 1 especially if they did it in early Shippuden. They also would’ve been able to explore whatever type of training the main cast did over the time skip. I always wondered why they never did them more it just seems like the easiest way to show character development.

(Also I know they did another one but to me that was a filler arc honestly)

do you feel constantly exhausted, stressed, burnt out, anxious, even paranoid without knowing exactly why? do you feel like you're constantly running away from something or someone you can't quite name?

if you do, I invite you to ask a very simple question: are your thoughts your own? have you been living with your thoughts, or have you been thinking like somebody else?

what I mean is, nowadays, it's totally common to be completely overwhelmed with what's been called "content" or "information" but which are just, put simply, other people's thoughts. podcasts, documentaries, vlogs, blogs, social media, no matter the medium in question, all these sources share are other people's thoughts; what you're consuming when you doomscroll all day is other people's thoughts.

and to be completely swamped in other people's thoughts is catastrophic for our inner world, our essence, our energy and our core. it's like being constantly invaded and colonized, or living next to a hostile and loud neighbor. you need peace and quiet in order to listen to yourself, to sprout your own thoughts and to understand who you truly are. you cannot do this if you're obsessively engaging with the current environment of "content" flood.

I'm not saying all your negative feelings come from that, but if you identify with what I talked about above, then there is a very real chance that your stress is coming from mind colonization, and you're the only one who can stop it. you're the only one who can select and weed out what kind of thoughts enter your mind, if any at all. beware of what you're letting in 🌷

Marcus HCs (Swarm) NSFW

A/N: so i noticed a lot of what people were saying about Marcus honestly didn't make sense to me. like a lot of them I can definitely agree with but idk I thought i'd put my two cents

okay, so i can't decide if marcus gets hookups often or if he's a once-a-year-get-down type of incel but regardless he's good at what he does.

he always wants more than a one-night stand

he's a total sex god. like the only thing he doesn't do is let you peg him but he's a switch and an experimentalist so he'll let you dom

he's not insecure in his size or height for this reason he knows he can make you cum with his mouth, hands and toys. he's sex-positive and educated in the world of sex toys.

he is amazing at aftercare. he'll clean you up and cuddle you. he'll only fall asleep after you and make sure you're okay. the next morning makes you breakfast and if it is your first time meeting he'll make conversation to get to know you and even drive you home or to work

hes an ass man 100% (this pains me to say because I don't have an ass but its so true)

he loves all body types and all types of men and women but has a strong preference for poc people. thinks they're absolutely beautiful

he loves walking around naked and goes to nude beaches but this specifically isn't sexual he just likes being naked and feeling free that way

he loves philosophy but in a good way and reads a whole lot of philosophical books and practices existentialism

he loves spirituality and manifesting

he's usually very clean, doesn't even get into bed with outside clothes

this man is romantic and corny as fuck oh yeah candles and rose pedals oh yeah and the dim lighting and classical music

he loved school as a kid and participated in all the sports and school events

loves his mom and buys her flowers on all holidays

loves baking more than cooking but hopes he can meet someone that will cook for him so he can bake for them

loves parties and going to the club just wishes he could dance better.

lana del rey and taylor swift are his guilty pleasures as a cis man

other than that loves rock music like kiss and the rolling stones

loves going all out on Halloween

loves being part of girl talk with his girl-friends and also calls them his girl-friends to other people

he loves nature
