Things the Naruto Fandom Don’t Talk About Nearly Enough Part 2: Sasori’s Puppet Body

CW: Mentions of self-harm, self-mutilation, body dysmorphia and self-hatred

I’ve already talked a little about this but I’m not ready to shut up about it.

I’m not gonna try explaining the confusing ass science/jutsu/bullshit that would make this remotely possible, but I am gonna mention the sheer amount and density of this redhead’s mental unwellness. I don’t even know where to start.

I guess I’ll start with the fact that it’s implied that Sasori was FIFTEEN when he did this. The idea that he was so young when he had skill to pull something that insane off successfully and he reached the mental breaking point to go through with it is crazy to me. Especially since this wouldn’t be something you’d do on impulse, it would be premeditated.

Building on that, we never get a moment where Sasori just snaps like most of the other antagonists we get a backstory for. Because of that, I’m led to believe that his breakdown was just him sitting in his own worsening mental state until it boiled over. So that leaves the question:

When did this process actually start?

As a (very important) side note, did somebody help Sasori? I’m sure anybody who has gone down the rabbit hole of Sasori’s anatomy has also wondered what in the hell this process would’ve looked like. It couldn’t have been Chiyo’s jutsu to bring a puppet to life. First, Sasori didn’t know that jutsu existed. Second, Sasori’s body has a biological core, he isn’t just possessing a puppet. To maintain that core, did he undergo some sort of surgery??? And if so, wouldn’t that imply that at least one person was there to perform the surgery? Or did Sasori perform the surgery himself without using anesthesia or pain killers? He just stubbornly underwent what was probably a few hours of self-inflicted torture.

Speaking of self-inflicted, the very few people I have seen delve into Sasori changing into his puppet body don’t delve into that fact that this is self-inflicted. Sasori didn’t snap and hurt others (I mean, he did, but that’s not what I’m talking about right now), he snapped hurt himself. I’ve read FMA, I know the silent hell that Alphonse went through living in a non-biological body. And whether he realized the full consequences of transforming his body into a puppet or not at the time, this still seems like a very unnatural/self-harm adjacent thing to do to yourself (at least from my perspective). Especially, again, with how this had to have been premeditated.

So, was it self harm to him? Did he hate himself? Did he hate some part of his body? The entirety of it? Was it out of a fear of death or deterioration like Orochimaru? (If so, how did that impact his relationship with Orochimaru?) Or did he not see it as harmful? Did he think he was fixing himself in some way? Or did he not consider his body a part of the equation at all and it was just a purely practical decision to turn his body into a weapon?

I don’t know which one is worse and I can see any of these aligning with his character.

Original sketch below cut;

Welcome to the Official Tumblr page for the ROTTMNT AO3 Fanfic “This Last Stretch of Paradise”!

My name is Blue, and I’m the author! Genderfluid, but they/them works as the default.

Fanfic Description:

A Kraang-Future AU in which F!Leo stops F!Mikey from finishing the portal and sending Casey Jr. back in time, leaving them all stranded in the war-ridden future to figure out their next move.

It’s a huge adventure/road trip fic that will metamorphose as time goes on! Overall though, it focuses on the three’s familial bonds and how they have to grow as people and adapt to their harsh conditions.

Do be aware that this is NOT an official/canon addition to the movie or the show and is only a work of fanfiction.

Blog Description:

- Asks are welcome [NSFW, rude, or disrespectful asks will be deleted]

- TLSOP art, music, etc will be tagged with #tlsop

- TLSOP-related reblogs will be tagged with #tlsop reblog

- Other reblogs will be tagged with #reblog

- Updated irregularly

Fanfic Pointers:

Tc3st/Pr0sh!p DNI. If I see you here, you will be blocked by this page immediately.

There is intense themes described in the fic. Nothing NSFW, of course, since I’m not that kind of writer, but there will be the following topics covered: Violence, depictions of PTSD and panic attacks, discussions of injuries (both physical and psychological), and unstable family connections. [Note: The last one does get improved on, but it takes time, as all things do. I want to show healthy and logical progression in these characters, as well as the real damages that war and the apocalypse can have on the psyche.]

This fic is very dear to my heart. I try to write it with as much accuracy as possible, meaning I do a lot of research into what I write about (locations, culture, injuries, psychology, etc). That being said, I might get things wrong. If I do, please kindly DM me about your grievance so I can attempt to remedy it for the betterment of the fic!

The chapters are not released on a consistent basis! I have a lot going on in my life right now (school, job, moving, social strain, etc), and even though this fic means a lot to me and I want to feed my audiences, I can’t guarantee I’ll always be at 100% for writing.

With the previous point said, I will let you know that there’ll most likely be a chapter released every month or so depending on how I feel (may be a little more or a little less time between chapters). I’m hoping to eventually be in a position where it’ll take less time than this, and I’ll be able to write more content in a shorter period of time, but for now; patience is key. I haven’t abandoned the fic, and if I ever do (which is highly unlikely, but stuff can come up), I’ll make an announcement on AO3 and on here. I wouldn’t leave you all in the dark about that.

Finally, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, my DM’s are always open! I won’t be responding to unnecessary hatred, but constructive criticism is okay.

Thanks for reading!
