Written for hungrytiger11, who was asking for some fic with B and Yugito interacting in her post about chapter 564 (totally full of spoilers of course). I aim to please! Okay, and to get rid of my stupid writer blocks.
DAMNIT I JUST NOTICED I GOT THEIR AGE DIFFERENCE WRONG. *edits edits edits* I suck at rapping, so I apologize in advance for B's horrible rap lines.



( B is sixteen when he speaks to Nii Yugito for the first time. )

Notes:
I wrote this for a request on the sentence in a story meme this October at naruto_meme : "This is no different from two months ago, and I am disappointed." The original title was "Charmer Snake", but I think this one makes more sense.
It works as a prequel for Silly Little Dreams (a Karin-centric fic I wrote for the anything goes meme at naruto_meme in May) or, I hope, as a stand-alone.

...I think it's the first time I actually skipped pages from a Naruto chapter. *points to icon*
And almost all of the fucking chapter, for crying out loud!

Seriously. This wasn't bad, it was THE FUCKING ABSOLUTE ZERO of entertainment. It wasn't even annoying, or just boring, it was INFURIATINGLY BORING, okay?
The only interesting thing in there was the last page. (Thank you Madara, you are my true hero in this story.)

Gourou Naruto, please go die in a corner and give us back our adorable hero from before Shipuuden, you pathetic waste of ink.

So I bought a DS - second-hand, cause I'm stingy - just to get my hands on Pokemon Soul Silver and Pokemon White. I've already played Soul Silver on a ROM, but I wanted to get the real thing because I need it to exchange my pokemons with other people. And well, I was becoming curious about Black and White.

(For your information, I still think that an awful lot of the 5th generation's pokemons look like ANYTHING BUT POKEMONS. Most often they're just ugly. But then, some of them are awesome, and the 4th generation already had its lot of ugly things. So.
The gameplay is different from my old pokemon games. It's not more or less difficult overall, but the difficulties lie elsewhere. The battles are tougher, but it's easier to give your pokemons the attacks you want, for instance.
And the characterization really, REALLY got better. there are more important characters, they have more in-game personalities...
As for the plot, I suppose it's quite good, but I can't help but feel annoyed by the way Nintendo brushes off the interpretation that says pokemons are exploited. At some point Cheren "answers" to Team Plasma's ideology by saying that "humans use pokemons' abilities, and pokemons trust humans". Seriously, Nintendo? Seriously? This is like the very definition of exploitation. Pffft.)

Anyway. As you can see, I'm quite obsessed with pokemon right now. ^^U
And since I'm also craving role-play. Well.

I am so totally fangirling in my corner of poketardness and toying with the idea of naruto characters in a pokemon AU. Oh the shiney. THE GLORIOUS SHINEY-NESS OF IT. Anyone up to roleplay pokemon-trainers!team 10? IN A SHINEY "LET'S  USE POKEMONS AS WEAPONS TO KILL OTHER TRAINERS" AU?
I so want to play with INO AND A TEPIG. Flower girl would so pown everyone's ass with her piggy and her pretty sunny-day-boosted flower pokemons. And Shikamaru with a gengar. COME ON. This would bring so many troublesome shenanigans. ♥♥♥

REGAAAARDE MOUSSAILLON, REGARDE! J'ai créé un compte rien que pour jouer Brann ! On ne sera plus embêtées par MSN, et on n'aura pas besoin d'attendre que tu puisses te connecter ~ ♥
BY THE WAY, pwassonne AND rebecca_kalista, YOU ARE LIKE, TOTALLY WELCOME TO COME BY AND POKE HIM WHENEVER YOU WANT. WITH ANY CHARACTER YOU WANT. EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT SURE YOU WANT TO KEEP PLAYING THEM LATER ON. 

That, and roleplay character development discussions on MSN.

...'tain, mes persos sont tous des putains d'emooooooo
(Shit, all my characters are fucking emoooooos)
sakoni :
et les miens des abrutis
tu tiens vraiment à échanger?
(and mines are retards
do you really want to trade?)


...
sakoni 's the best role-play partner ever, I swear ~ ♥
(And no, all her characters aren't retarded. She's just ridiculously good at forcing them to do hilarious, dumb, crack-tastic stuff.)

Since I'm rambling about role-play- I'm trying to re-design the clothes of some of my characters, because they're supposed to be Naruto-ish, and their clothes don't really look the part and, well.
I found the lines for this one, but colors keep giving me a headache. STUPID COLORS. WHY WON'T YOU LOOK GOOD AND NARUTO-ISH  DAMNIT. (Also, the right arm is hideously fucked up, but I gotta stop now or I won't go to bed try to sleep before at least 5 AM.)
So erm. If anybody has suggestions on this, I'd be very glad to read them.
( Failed!drawing under the cut. )

MEGA EDIT OF ZE DEAD:
So apparently posting my random thoughts from 4 AM is a Very Bad Idea. (Pffft, thank you captain obvious.) So. Editing like whoa, in the hopes this crap will make more sense afterwards.

( Geez, this is why I shouldn't post anything in the middle of the night - I can barely make any sense out of it afterwards. )
 
Back to the questions.
Am I the only one who has a tendency to dislike girly female characters? Or "female" attributes in characters?
Are there some "girly/female traits" you feel are placated often on female characters in series? Does it bother you at all?
Do you have some "types" of female character you can relate to? Some types you cannot relate to? Some you just can't stand whatsoever? Which ones are the more common? Does it depend on the type of series (manga VS western stuff, shounen VS shoujo, etc)?

Warnings:
I suck at arguing (except in the "yelling at each other's head" sense), so I guess I kinda suck at meta. Therefore, this one will be a series of lists of personal opinions and criticism.
Also, it contains mentions of - and arguments sort of in favor of - incest and selective human breeding in Naruto.
This is for hungrytiger11 , who asked for Naruto meta for Christmas, and doesn't care how late I am ~ ♥

(  So I have a few issues with the concepts of hiden jutsu and kekkei genkai, and instead of just ranting against it in my weekly Naruto rants, I've tried to organize my thoughts into something more or less meta-like.  )

The title is a line from Like Suicide, by Seether.
