I am SO excited to write this next chapter.
A list of chapters in a google doc. Family Matters is highlighted.

Sarada's MS and Sasuke's original MS (EMS) actually loo a lot a like, sharing a very similar pattern. I'm wondering what they'd look like potentially combined into her EMS pattern.

From Reddit... this would be an amazing plot development for Sarada.

I don't know if I've ever read something so deeply BoruSara coded before.

Other adult anime fans give me life.
It's Shear. She's 42 and living her best life with sparkly freckles and red lipstick.

This as a setup for a volume-ending chapter means we're in for a real treat in 15 days.

A bunch of Mamushi about to invade Konoha.

OH.

#Modulo
Modulo chapter 8: The village where my brother and I grew up was razed by the government. Our parents resisted until the very end, only to be crushed into the rubble of our home. As my father died, he was clutching what I thought was just an ordinary rock like it was the most precious thing in the world. But even now, I sometimes wonder if it was really nothing more than that. Modulo chapter 9. The twins use their roccoluca to awaken the energy within rocks, holding each other's hands.

In denial about Yuka's disease until I was doing a reread... fuck.

#Modulo
Maki to baby Tsuguri: Yes. You get stronger through loss. But it's a double-edged sword, do you have to be careful. I mean leaving things is important too. Yuka: Only six months to live is pretty harsh.

#Modulo is killing it.

In chapter 2, Cross is telling Maru that his job is to protect the women and children of their people by investigating Earthlings.
Cross: If that's what you think, then spend more time with the earthling sorcerers and present your evidence for consideration. That's your job right now... as a warrior. The job of a warrior isn't the fight to the death. It's to protect women and children.

I failed to get any substantial writing done yesterday, but I merged my end-of-document list of non-chronological bullet points with the notes in my head, which is how this update happened.
On Little Hokage's AO3 tags, Boruto has been added to the character list.

A fallen angel.
Boruto from chapter 26 doesn't look life Boruto at all. Where did this child learn such exquisite bitch face? His hands are steppled downward, fingers pointing towards the floor. His black cape hangs on his back like a pair of folded wings. His face? Is cold af. Someone carve this panel out of marble so we can spread flowers at his feat and crown his head in garlands of greenery.

Writing Kawaki POV is something else...
People don’t go crazy because they don’t give a fuck; they go crazy because they’re out of fucks to give. In the absence of fucks, you’ll find answers that no one else can.

Boruto and Sarada fan art from Whispers of the Sun Momo and Boruto sitting in a tree. Proof of my ADHD diagnosis should be my (non) organization of shortcuts and widgets. Every time my husband looks at my screen, he cries.

I can't help myself from drawing had Boruto chibi art...
Very bad chibi art of Kawaki choking Amado while telling him he's never going to revive his daughter or dead pet hamster or favorite lighter. Kawaki is concerned when he hears the door open. Smiling, Sumire blasts him in the face with Nue Spray, saying, "BAD KAWAKI! DROP IT!" Kawaki winces and cusses.

You have no idea how sad I was when I found this at my local Goodwill and it was a little too tight.

Ikemoto deserves a round of applause for his symbolic use of shadows.

Girls divided by love vs girls brought together by friendship
Boruto and Sarasa hug scene from chapter 4, Sumire's shadow alone Three way girl hug from chapter 27, all shadows combined.

Little blog teaser for you all: the Chapter 27 cover is essentially a redraw of Chapter 13, the one in which Boruto has his flashback of his first meeting with Koji.

tl;dr, this is me with all of you.
Eida squishes Sarada and Sumire's faces into her chest while hugging them. "Once again, it's nice to meet you... my very dear friends."

This is my favorite panel in the entire chapter.
Sarada getting squished by an Eida hug, saying: Uh... Help, Sumire?
