Dattebayo! OR Believe it!

[ambivalent-girl.livejournal.com]

I don't consider this a spoiler because I would like those who don't watch the DUB Naruto on Cartoon Network to take part in this too and I'm assuming that everyone has seen episode 18 (and if this is considered a spoiler--someone inform me so I can add an LJ-Cut to it).

It's a bit late but I was thinking about this for a period of time now and it has come to my attention (Saturday) that apparently the translation for "Dattebayo" is "Believe it". >< Sorry if this has been brought up before.

If I recall, I remember someone saying there is no real translation for "dattebayo". It's just a phrase or word that Naruto has a habit of saying (correct me if I'm wrong please ^_^).

And in the dubbed version of Naruto, it translates to "Believe it".

What do you guys think of this?

I mean, should there be a better translation?

I was actually wondering, if they kept "sensei" and "shinobi" and "kunoichi", why couldn't they keep "Dattebayo" (besides the fact that it'll raise questions as to what it means)?

Art Post: Caress (SasuNaru, PG, yaoi-ish warning)

For the record: I adore Sasuke/Naruto (or Naruto/Sasuke, either way) and Kakashi/Iruka... If you're offended by yaoi/shonen-ai, please don't click on the link.


Title: Caress
Artist: red_rahl
Rating: PG
Character/Pairing: Naruto/Sasuke
Warnings: Strongly implied familiarity/intimacy between two males. (Prelude to yaoi.)
Notes: Done in pencil, scanned, inked in photoshop. I can't seem to break from the clean lines and black and white for my Naruto drawings. Ah well.
-In this picture, they're both older. I'm really fixated on a more mature Naruto and I use Yondaime as my point of reference for drawing him. As for an older Sasuke...I have no idea how his hair should go. Ah well.
-Of the two boys, I believe that Naruto would be way more affectionate and demonstrative of that affection (to compensate for the lack of love in his childhood). And Sasuke wouldn't mind that at all. (After they've both accepted the whole in-love-with-your-best-friend-who-happens-to-be-a-guy thing, of course...)

Blind Hinata trying to get out of a Tree

[iceman-f1.livejournal.com]

Ok. I just added myself mostly for this video. First a little intro about this video (which is pretty funny). In November, I went to Youmacon where I met chappythebunny (AKA Blind Hinata to me) and had a great time there. I was later convinced to go to Ohayocon where this video was taken. They all wanted a photoshoot but outside near "trees". I got tired of taking photos with 2 cameras so I decided to start a video on my camera and take photo's using Kiba's camera. I was lucky I decided to do that since this is the end result. Watch it for a few laughs ^_^

Another PSP Wallpaper

So...I've officially moved from just making icons to making PSP wallpapers as well. ^_^ I really REALLY like how this one looks on the PSP screen, the colors are real vibrant and everything. I'm begging you, take a look at it! Even if you don't have a PSP, hehe.
