something something about realizing your oc has to bring something to the naruto table in order to not die instantly… and the only real option ends up being: learn how a tractor works, figure out how to build a new one, and then sell it to orochimaru under the premise that this no-chakra machine means he can free up more of his civilian slaves (so they have more time to be on the dissection table without his little micro-nation collapsing).

(sure, she could sell it to the land of fire too, but like… no one’s willing to take that risk. or maybe she just didn’t ask them. maybe the only way she even managed to replicate oil was by putting orochimaru on the case in the first place. idk.)

the point is: she discovers she actually has a knack for mechanics. which is tragic, honestly, because now she has to pioneer like everything. :((

i really love the idea of her having a tractor but as i said in a previous post, i don't want to write about agriculture, so maybe she stole it ? maybe it's still her uncle's ? maybe she stole it from her uncle because he was being an arse and didn't want his children to go to the club with her so she stole the tractor as a replacement ? (i like this idea)

tractor girl naruto au is on

and for anyone wondering why no one stole/moved/destroyed her tractor : it crashed into the back wall of the store she works at, the only people that could see it are the other employees but they don't care / are not paid enough to give a shit after their shift (the boss in a dick and one day they will riot)

Dallas Dedale works in this store for maybe a week before doing anything remotely meaningful: she familiarizes herself with the place and the locals, totally convinced she’s dreaming, hungover, and that tomorrow will bring a headache like no other.

but tomorrow never comes. and all the locals and customers, her boss, the other employees — the ones she was kinda rude and snobbish to all week (she thought they weren’t real, and even if she doesn’t have a small-town-girl™ complex, she’s still kinda snobby toward anyone she sees as a peasant, which is basically everyone in the naruto world) — they just exist, like normal people, in a ninja world. (she figured that her dream was in naruto, she hasn't figured out why it was so lame)

about eight days later (she’s slow) after crashing through realities , she realizes just how screwed she is when a customer (a ninja yeah) throws a big heavy piece of metal at her while trying to hide/fight someone/idk. basically, she’s the npc in action scene where heroes make a ruckus, destroy stuff, and literally no one cares afterwards.

she passes out, wakes up the next morning in the civilian section of the hospital with something broken, and THAT’S when it hits her: she’s actually in a ninja world. probably in naruto.

she cries a lot. escapes (they let her out) from the hospital. wanders around for maybe two days, and finally comes back to the store because it’s the only thing she knows (she slept in the storage room all week). maybe on the way back, she stumbles upon her tractor/motorcycle/other big modern way of locomotion. (probably a tractor, i like that idea)

i don't remember who said something about danael being the last thing shimy ever saw but how haunting must it be

as much as i love the idea of drunk tractor wandering being the way you fall into the naruto world, i had another ridiculous idea:

a) Dallas Dedale works in some tiny shop/hardware store/specific little place (like a tailor, a mechanic, or someone selling cameras, computers, idk). one time she goes into the back room (storage room/break room/if it’s a really small shop it might just be where the one computer is), and when she comes back out, she’s in an entirely new place in the naruto world. no one is shocked, no one knows her, but the boss did say there’d be a new girl starting on monday so.

OR !! b) keeping with the drunk transition: she doesn’t even work there yet, but crashes into the store at night, totally wasted, in a tiny dress + stilettos, throwing up everywhere, and then just collapses on a giant tractor tire (she brought with her ofc). when she wakes up the next morning, it’s konoha now (the shop was in konoha all along). and once again, no one bats an eye, they just expect her to work there (so she does).

like everyone, i wanted to make a SI/OC in naruto, but i’m too much of a coward to start writing in english properly, so here are all my little thought jumps:

i wanted my oc to just pop into naruto’s universe completely drunk, on a tractor. she’d just finished her last year of high school, gone back home to the countryside, and celebrated with her two cousins because she’d gotten into a university (engineering program). they stole their parents’ alcohol and her uncle’s tractor (the tractor’s name is Rupert, the uncle’s name is Herbert). and after a long night of drinking and joyriding across fields, she wakes up the next morning — gross, hungover, and alone (as one does) — with only the tractor for company, in some weird vegetable crops (i don’t reckon there’s industrial farming in the naruto world, ig maybe the plan was to make her implement it).

at first she was supposed to be this stereotypical girl who hated her hometown, hated the family’s cows and sheep, and dreamed of becoming a big city girl™ because she hated smelling like animals and shit (+ she kind of wanted to be rich). so basically, she was a snob (which could be very funny in a story about the weakest person to ever live in naruto).

but as i was crafting her personnality up and what i wanted her to do in a story, i realized A Big Problem :

i, personally, never worked more than a couple of days at a time on a farm, i could make up everything with what i know (which is still more than a lot of people i think, but nowhere near enough), or search for it intensively on internet which would bore me quickly as during my studies i choose the specialization that would distance me the most from agriculture/agronomy.

and after thinking about it, i realized what i wanted from this story was not the rise of a tractor girl who would take over the naruto world by reinventing industrial farming (which would still be pretty funny), but more generally an oc coming in the naruto world with a big mundane object, zero aptitude for shinobi life and whose journey ends up being to establish a civilian mafia that rivals the akatsuki on the simple basis that they can't do ransom video to gain money

for her name, i still don't know if i want something that could be prononced by the character she would encounter or if i stay with ***Dallas Dedale*** which is stupid and idk which one id her name and which one is her surname

(while thinking about the prononciation of this in japanese i realised Dedale (which is french for Daedalus) sound like Deidara which could be a funny coincidence for everyone involved)

another goblin Tori (@mixelation) who should have a perfusion of spicy coffee in her veins

also idk how to draw seals, don’t ask me what this one is supposed to do in the first place (maybe Tori knew at one point, now she probably seals the first horrible thing that comes to her mind) (don’t blame her she hasn’t slept for 34 hours) (and has been poisoned twice today)

Tori from @mixelation ‘s fic Plasticity because I can’t get her out of my head

everytime I picture her she is crouched, like a little goblin :)

one piece au where everything is the same except shanks is bald and his nickname is “Bald Shanks”

little Perona (11) and Zoro (7) !!

I think I would be an excellent test subject for telepathy (whatever activity reading in the mind of others is) students

like my train of thoughts is a constant radio emission with a little jingle when it’s serious and grrrgrrrfrrrgrrrtkrrkrrkr when I’m dumb but overall it’s really clear, there’s a little voice explaining what’s going on to whoever may be listening and I think it would be pretty understandable and I’m very proud of that thank you very much
