i have this thought: if we were all living in the naruto series and saw the akatsuki in real life, it would be so terrifying—they’re actually really scary, and you can’t tell me otherwise. all of them are incredibly strong, and none of us would stand a chance (meh)—but if i had to pick one who would really scare the crap out of me, it would be sasori. like, any member’s jutsu is terrifying, and i’d be horrified to face any of them, but no one’s psychopathic tendencies match sasori’s (well, hidan is also a psychopathic bastard, and deidara is too addicted to his so-called art).

but imagine if sasori got you. this guy wouldn’t just kill you outright; no, he’d turn you into one of his grotesque human puppets—he would dismantle you, piece by piece. he’d strip away your flesh and blood and would definitely replace your organs with some mechanical shits. urgh, the pain would be unimaginable—the torment would fucking stretch on until nothing was left but an empty, hollow shell.

The way that Sakura is inspired after cherry blossoms with both her name and appearance, and the cherry blossoms symbolise the transience and impermanence of life due to their short life spans. Sasori fights against a girl who represents the fleeting nature of life which completely contrasts his obsession with immortality and skurhliexbkjgfswgblpeq

LOVE that Sakura clowns on Sasori's fuckass stupid beliefs not only with her skill set but also with her entire existence. He was untouchable until he wasn't, he was smart until he wasn't, he was apathetic until he wasn't in the span of like, an hour. The best part being that the thing that ultimatively makes her so strong (her humanity and affection and care towards Chiyo) is the one thing he can't have and would absolutely lose if he were to turn her into one of his liveless bum bitch puppets.

She really is the ultimate troll. We love her.

*Itachi in Sasori’s lab, getting his weekly blood transfusion and breathing treatment*

Sasori, checking the IV bag: Mm, this is almost empty. Now remember, when you leave here you’re to go straight to bed and rest. No strenuous activity for the next twenty-four hours. Understood?

Itachi, temporarily removing the oxygen mask from over his mouth and nose: I understand. Thank you, Sasori-san.

Sasori: Mm. *sits down across from him* You know, it’s simply fascinating to me how long you’ve managed to keep yourself alive. With your immune system being as weak as it is and you catching every little thing that comes your way. Ah, but, I suppose that’s the trademark characteristic of diseases: unpredictability.

Itachi: *nods*

Sasori: Itachi, have you given any thought at all to my proposition? I really do believe you would benefit greatly from the puppet transformation. Your core self would be there, your thoughts and personality, but your body would be better, stronger, indestructible. No more blood transfusions, no breathing treatments, no having to take dozens of pills each day just to be able to function. No more pain.

Itachi: *sighs before leaning over and switching off the breathing machine, and removing the mask*

Itachi: I appreciate your thoughtfulness in trying to help me, Sasori-san. But no matter the consequences, I’d prefer to stay in my human body. But there is one thing I’d like to ask of you. Of all of you.

Sasori: What is it?

Itachi: When … when my time comes, please, be there for Kisame. I think my death will be hard on him, and I don’t want him rushing after me, you know? He’ll fare better with people around him, so he doesn’t feel quite so alone. 

Sasori: *smiles and gently pats Itachi’s shoulder* Of course; put your mind at ease about that. 

Sasori: *gets up and disconnects the now-empty chair IV bag, removing the needle from Itachi’s arm*

Sasori: Alright, you can go now. Remember what I said about resting.

Itachi: *pauses, hugs Sasori, and then walks out*

*Sasori spends some time cleaning and sterilizing the area, before Deidara walks in*

Deidara: Oi, Danna, you done with Uchiha yet? I thought we could —

Sasori: *turns around, puts both arms around Deidara, and holds him close*

Deidara, startled: D-Danna! What —

Sasori: *puts his head on Deidara’s chest* Let me listen to your heart for a few moments, please. I need to.

Deidara: *gently runs his fingers through Sasori’s hair* Go ahead, Danna.

*the two stand quietly for a few minutes*

Sasori, softly: He’s so young. He’s so very young, Dei.  He’s your age. I can’t imagine, I literally can’t imagine, if you … if you were to …

Deidara: It’s okay, Sasori. I know, it’s sad, hm. But it’s his choice. I don’t like him but I respect his choices. 

Sasori: I know. *lifts his head and puts his hands on Deidara’s face, pulling him into a kiss*  It’s a beautiful night. Let’s go for a walk. We can talk about the future.

Deidara, blushing: The future like, us getting married?

Sasori: *takes Deidara’s hand* Perhaps. OR we can discuss me turning you into a puppet before our next anniversary … it’d be a great gift for both you and me!

Deidara:

Watercolour Gaara!

Gaara in modern clothing, and the page of me designing his outfit! + A similar page of me designing a modern outfit for Kankuro as well! Maybe if I find something that fits Temari I'll make one for her too! :D

Transcript of what I wrote on the sketch pages :-

Gaara:

-Gaara outfit design for art

-Sand themed pattern? Or maybe plants

-The pattern (or something like this)

-The design on his shirt

-Represents Shukaku practically consuming Gaara's (moon) thoughts and the way he lived until Naruto (star) came along and gave him a better life

(About Naruto) -Would be the sun but, well, the sun's a star isn't it?

Kankuro:

-Found pants that fit Kankuro super well so I decided to design an outfit for him too

-I don't know why but I think he'd like the symmetry :]

-Graphic

-Fingerless gloves

-Purple accents and silver jewelry

-Super detailed pants I found on Pinterest I can't be bothered to draw right now

-The accents are red on Pinterest but I made it purple for Kankuro :)

-The graphic

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.

*Deidara packing his travel bag when Sasori comes in*

Deidara, over his shoulder: Be ready in a few minutes, Danna, hm.

Sasori: No need for that, Deidara. Our mission has been cancelled.

Deidara: *turns around* Cancelled?

Sasori: Mm. Or rather, cancelled for us. I convinced Pein to send Itachi and Kisame in our places.

Deidara: But … why?

Sasori: *sits at edge of Deidara’s bed, and pats spot next to him for Deidara to sit as well*

Sasori: It’s just, well, two things. One, I’m worried for you, and two, I feel bad.

Deidara: Worried? Why would you be worried?

Sasori: We’ve been traveling almost non-stop for months, now. You’re not getting enough sleep, and … you’ve lost quite a bit of weight. And I feel bad because I know the pace we keep is quite hectic, and I know that’s my fault. I’m a puppet and I don’t have the same physical needs or limitations that you have, and a lot of the time, I tend to forget how tired you must feel.

Sasori: So I think, maybe, it’s time you had a bit of a rest.

Deidara: Danna -

Sasori: And with Christmas coming so soon, well … I thought maybe this could be a gift for you. *takes hold of Deidara’s hands* Just me and you able to stay here and relax for the week. No traveling, you able to sleep in a bed instead of on the ground. We can go to the market and pick out some food I can make for you, so that you can eat well, and —

Deidara: *puts both arms around Sasori and hugs him tightly*

Deidara, shakily: T-that sounds like the best Christmas present in the whole world, Sasori. Thank you!

Sasori: *gently stroking Deidara’s hair* You are the most precious person in this world to me; I’m sorry I’ve been so neglectful of properly taking care of you. But hopefully this week will —

Deidara: *pulls Sasori into a deep kiss*

Deidara, murmuring: There are many ways I’d like you to take care of me, Sasori, hm ~

Sasori: Oh? I’m more than happy to help you out, then, brat ~

*the next week*

Kakuzu, examining Deidara: Well there’s no doubt about it, kid … you have a severely sprained back. If it’s to properly heal you’ll need to stay off of your feet for at least a month’s time.

Pein: I just don’t understand it. I let you and Sasori have this time off because he said you needed rest. I come back and you’ve somehow damaged yourself to the extent that you’ll be out of commission even longer?? Just what in the world did you both DO all week?

Sasori: W-well, we, er, we were just —

Deidara, blushing hard: N-nothing! Just bad luck I guess! Oh, by the way, Kakuzu? M-my bed frame kinda … broke. A-and my mattress needs replacing. Can I get an advance on my pay to buy new ones?

Kakuzu and Pein:
