1. When I started shipping them I have loved Team Hawk since basically the instant they appeared. THEIR DYNAMICS ARE JUST <3333 So I gradually started shipping every possible pairing in the entire diagram of four, and then I was like WHAT THE HELL, I JUST SHIP THEM ALL AT ONCE, but then Sasuke was a douche, so he got kicked out.
2. What I think their challenge is How to move on and function without Sasuke, who was once the glue that held them together. ;_______;
3. What makes me happy about them This post. I can't put it any better than I did in that post.
4. What makes me sad about them They, like, they all have these issues, and Sasuke used to be their rock, their hope, their focal point, but now, he's just completely lost himself (and I genuinely think this is supposed to be the result of a psychotic breakdown, like, they shouldn't be killing him, they should be fucking committing this fucked-up kid and getting him some goddamn help with his life BUT NINJALAND HAS NO THERAPISTS), and they're just. They have to find some sort of new equilibrium. They - Karin, Juugo, Suigetsu - all they know is how to live for someone else, and not for themselves. I don't mean themselves like "everyone for their own interests," I mean just knowing how to choose your own destiny, and like. augh, I'm going to get myself all emotional again TT______TT
5. What moment I wish had never happened A great deal. Sasuke leaving Juugo and Suigetsu behind. Sasuke stabbing Karin. I think not having them around him right after the fight with Itachi - that was a mistake on Sasuke's part (but one he was ultimately doomed to make). Madara = not a good influence in the crucial first day after this giant event that screwed up his life even more.
....agh I just realized that FOR A SHIP THAT DOESN'T TECHNICALLY HAVE SASUKE IN IT, THIS COMMENT IS REALLY ABOUT SASUKE.
But, like. That's the point. They're just. defined. by this relationship.
sugh this team seriously /SOBS FOREVER
6. Who I'd be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other Suigetsu: CHOUJIRO 8D teef-shipping Juugo: forest animals C: Karin: I want her to be integrated into Konoha! I think she might go well with Sai, if I didn't ship Sai/Sakura so hard. Or maybe Kiba? OOOOH. /imagines Karin/Kiba
7. My happily ever after for them They all survive, Sasuke gets serious psychological help, Karin joins Konoha and becomes THE SEXY LADY WHO WORKS WITH THE INTERROGATION SQUAD 8D and Juugo and Suigetsu spend a long time in Konoha and then ride off into the buddy-sunset together. And then they come back. And Juugo lives in the Nara's forest and keeps an eye on Hidan's general area, while Suigetsu takes up residence in the water tower and trolls Konoha's residents forever. The end.
Karin/Suigetsu/Juugo OT3 8D (this used to be an ot4 SOB)
