Blending In
Jiraiya-centric, no pairing
PG 13
For 15minuteficlets challenge, because I haven't done one in a while. Returning to the Sannin team. Possibly how the job of being a ninja drives you crazy, eventually.

LOL x33

I like Jiraiya man :DD I can't imagine Orochimaru there and listening to some perverted person talk to him like that xDDD

Awesome drabble!! ♥

[gelfling8604]

Orochimaru is hell to write; absolute hell. He doesn't make any sense! No sense at all does he make!

Jiraiya's fun; he's so easy going it's SWEET.

*tackle/glomps/keeps*

Yey for undercover missions!! ^^ Reminds me of all those police movies, when the cop goes undercover to get some info from the bad guys and there are these cool devices carefully hidden in their ears and someone telling orders on the other side :D

Let's face it- Orochimaru at 14 couldn't handle dirty old men for the life of him. He barely could Sarutobi as it was, but at 50 he actually turned into one sans the pervy jokes, but that's because he just CAN'T tell a joke no matter his age

[gelfling8604]

...Yeah.

Orochimaru, as a character to write young or old, is a pain in the ass! He's all not-pervy when he's young, then he goes all pedophilic/sadist when he's old, so it's just...WTF mate, the whole time. He's hard! So hard! And I want to write him! Argggh I say!

Undercover missions rock.

And I want to draw him all the time!! ^^ And I used to but not anymore; I mess too much with Neji and Sasuke to notice I've neglected him over the time. Orochimaru's surprisingly easy to draw :D

[gelfling8604]

NejiSasu: One of the few ways Neji will EVER get laid, not that he can't, because the universe will implode. EXPLODE! Like whoa! For reals--after much discussion and analysis, it's been agreed on by a number of people, so it's true!

Neji can't have sex.
Orochimaru can't have the right type of sex--ever. Never ever comfortable sex with this guy, it's just...crawly.

Drawing is yum. It's good to have you back.

I love your stories about Jiraiya. He's such a neat, kinda canon-ignored character (though not as badly as many others) and you write him so well - he has that playful, permanantly teenage mentality, but when he's by himself and he has time to think over all the crap that's gone on in his life, he's actually a pretty serious guy. And even though you don't like writing Orochimaru, I think the way you do write him is pretty close to how he was when he was younger. I mean, given what we've seen of his younger self and extrapolating on that...

[gelfling8604]

I have so much fun with Jiraiya--he's sarcastic, he's perverted, he's easy-going, and while he's sort of a genius his character doesn't exert any kind of pressure at all--he doesn't have to be too much of something or not enough of another, he can be pretty much whatever, so there's no real worry about screwing up a little and making him grossly OCC.

And I really want to write Orochimaru good, because he would be creepy and cool and a little disgusting (but not too disgusting, because then that's fandom and author talking too much), but he's such a pain to get accurate--it's sort of a hit or miss thing, where sometimes it's right and sometimes it's grossly wrong.

I love the encouragement. I hug it to my breast tightly.

Psst, the icon you're using- something certified ninja- is mine, please credit? ♥!

[gelfling8604]

Ee! Sorry! I had no idea--will credit! Sorry!

[pic_unperfect]

No problem! I saw where you had credited other people so I knew you didn't mean to steal it or anything, so don't worry, lol. I don't bite people's heads off. =)

I'm really late about this, but I just wanted to say how I love the way you characterized the ambiguity of the bar room (or whatever room they're in) and the old drunk men.

[gelfling8604]

I think I had more fun with describing the setting than everything else, because after a while I began to forget what the plot/point/THINGY had been and just had fun with with the setting which is why it gets a little...WOOZY after a while.
