sasuke uchiha deserves to be loved out loud (´•̥﹏•̥`) ♡

✧.・゜✿・。.☆ﾟ.･｡ﾟ༓☾☼✩.･｡ﾟ☁︎*.☽✩˚｡⋆✲ﾟ｡⋆*

why is it that when sasuke is angry people call him heartless, but when itachi is silent they call him tragic. why is it that sasuke screams for help with blood on his hands and everyone looks away, but when itachi bleeds quietly, people build him altars. i’m not saying one deserves less love, i’m saying sasuke deserved more. more kindness, more grace, more forgiveness. he was a child. a boy who loved his big brother so hard he shaped his whole world around him. and when that world shattered, no one helped him pick up the pieces. so he held the shards in his hands and bled alone.

you don’t understand how devastating it is that sasuke’s entire childhood was a prologue to his pain. he was a prodigy, yes. but also soft. also kind. also eager. he looked up to itachi like he hung the stars in the sky. and when the stars fell, they crushed him. people say sasuke was obsessed with revenge, but it wasn’t about killing. it was about understanding. about making the pain make sense. about proving to himself that love hadn’t been a lie. he didn’t want to destroy itachi. he wanted him to see him. to hurt the way sasuke hurt.

and then he did. and it broke him again. and still—he kept moving. he never got to fall apart. he had to rewire his entire heart and carry on. and he kept losing people. kept losing himself. kept searching for a version of the world that didn’t hurt so much. he tried the path of light and the path of darkness and found peace in the middle of the ruins. it was messy. it was violent. it was lonely. but it was his choice. that’s why sasuke is so important to me—he chose to come back. not because someone redeemed him. but because he did.

it makes me so emotional that people still talk about naruto as the one who saved him when sasuke had been crawling toward the light on his own for so long. he just needed someone to say “i see you.” naruto didn’t save him. naruto waited for him. and sasuke came back. scarred, burned, bleeding—but alive. more alive than he had been in years. when he smiled after the final battle… i felt that in my bones. that little sliver of peace he never thought he’d get. he smiled like he forgot how and just remembered again. like the world was finally quiet inside his head.

boruto sasuke is probably the most heartbreaking version of him. like... the way he tries to be a father when no one taught him how. the way he mentors boruto with patience and grace despite having grown up without any of it. the way he watches over the village from the shadows—not to atone, but because he cares. he still thinks the only way he can protect people is by staying away from them. he doesn’t want to hurt anyone again. and it’s so painful because all i want is for him to be held. to be told “you’ve done enough.” but he never stops. he loves in silence. in exile. in scars.

and the way he treats sarada… oh my god. you can tell he wants to give her the world but he’s terrified he’ll taint it. like he doesn’t think he deserves to stand in the light anymore so he just watches from the edges. she reaches for him and he flinches because he doesn’t know how to be wanted without being feared. but he tries. he tries. he shows up when it counts. even when he’s bleeding. even when he’s broken. he shows up. that’s love. and it’s the kind of love that costs him everything. but he gives it anyway. because he’s sasuke.

he is not emotionless. he is not selfish. he is a boy whose heart was shattered so many times he forgot what it sounded like when it beat softly. but it still does. it always did. he never stopped feeling. he just got better at hiding it. but if you look close, you see it—in the way he protects, the way he hesitates, the way he listens. he’s all bruised silence and trembling hope. he is grief with a heartbeat. and he still keeps walking forward. still believes he can do better. he’s the kind of character who lets himself be hated if it means someone else gets to live in peace. and if that’s not heroic, idk what is.

sasuke uchiha is the most painfully beautiful character i’ve ever known. he is everything people misunderstood about teenage anger and survivor’s guilt and broken love. he is a mirror of the worst the world can do to a child and the best that child can still become. he’s proof that pain doesn’t make you a monster. it makes you real. and i will never stop loving him for that. ( ´•̥̥̥ ω •̥̥̥` ) ♡

(♡°▽°♡): just a lil reminder: sasuke is my broken boy, but we have to talk about how he’s not the best husband or father. his trauma impacts every relationship he has, and that’s why he struggles to connect with sakura and their daughter in the way they deserve. i love sakura so much, but honestly, sasusaku makes me really uncomfortable. sakura deserves someone who sees her as the amazing, strong person she is, not as second best. also, sakura is a huge victim of comphet—she’s been pushed into a straight relationship with sasuke when it’s clear they don’t have the chemistry that should be there. comphet forces women to conform to a heteronormative narrative, even if it’s not what they want, and sakura deserves someone who truly understands her. (*≧▽≦)

I want to fight Kishimoto for a number of reasons, but he really did his best work with Sasuke. I feel like his story is the most interesting to follow in the series, and he kind of acts like an audience surrogate. Because he, like Naruto, has been systematically and routinely let down and exploited by the village. But Sasuke expresses actual, explicit anger for this. While Naruto never really reaches that point

Which make sense, in a way, because Naruto had always wanted acceptance and recognition. His way at "getting back" at the village is by making them see him and acknowledge him for the person he is and not the "monster" inside him. But Sasuke already had that acknowledgement, he already had the love(and pity) of the Village. His anger at the village isn't from being ignored or living in poverty, it's that the village directly facilitated the death of his clan.

And honestly, not to make this a matter of race, but I feel like people of color can empathize a lot easier with Sasuke's story than they can Naruto's. Because Naruto shows frustration but never anger at his situation. He remembers the Third Hokage as a kind, wise leader of the clan. While we see him as an adult who failed this child in literally every way.

Sasuke, on the other hand, is so heartbroken and so angry and so vocal about it. He's what we feel Naruto should be feeling. The village is deeply flawed, something they both saw, but their idea of fixing it is what separates them.

Idk, I love Sasuke so much, I was always on his side.

First of all I'm so sorry It took so long for my reply :( I wanted to respond to it thoroughly, but then life also got in the way ;;

I love your analysis about sasuke's characterisation and his anger and how it juxtaposes Naruto's own behavior and his response to the treatment he'd received. You are right; Naruto had felt anger and hatred towards the village when he was a child, but it was through learning to bond with people that he realized he wanted people's acknowledgment. For many set of reasons, Naruto's response puts me off as a reader and a person because, while I understand he's a child and that it's normal he seeks validation and acceptance through wanting to prove himself, I don't like it as much. Because it pushes this idea that you have to conform to society in order to be "accepted".

And Sasuke, as you very well phrased, actually expresses his anger against the oppression he and his people faced. In my opinion, i would even argue that Sasuke was more rational about his response than many would have (I know I wouldn't have had the same grace he did). Even after the racist remarks from the second Hokage later on in the manga, he showed more maturity than in the way he viewed the justice he wanted to get -not for himself, but for his clan and to right this world.

And yes! I agree so much with the race statement. I've noticed this a lot online. Most white people get this immediate reaction of recoil when Sasuke had intended to "destroy Konoha", when that is actually the most logical reaction -not only as a human, but also narratively! I say most because it's generally speaking, and the global north is known for their privilege in comparison to people living in third world countries. It's honestly a shame that many people refuse to understand the masterful writing behind Sasuke's character, despite some minimal shortcomings that can be discussed when people are actually in agreement of his well-written character. He represents a lot of oppressed people of color who are failed and demonized by systemically by fascist empires and who experience racism; and also as a character his absolute refusal of *backing down* on what is his right to bring justice to his people resonates with many minorities.

Naruto represents his counterpart, so he "thematically" has to be more "positive" in a simplified sense of the word for the reader. I partly don't agree with that aspect of Naruto's character development, but it makes sense with his background. What I get from it is that Kishimoto walked himself into a corner with that, and shounen jump and his editors are homophobes who had a fair involvement in making Naruto's general ending what it was. I don't know if I'm phrasing my thoughts well, but I hope it made sense?

Gosh, yes!! Thank you for this great ask. Sasuke really means the world to me too :') and i believe people who are on his side will always be on the right side of history haha

(leans into the mic) my ideal team 7 dynamic is one where Uchiha Sasuke, former terrorist who has tried to kill his teammates multiple times and was such an edgelord he likely practiced his one-liners in front of a mirror ends up, somehow, being the voice of reason on his team.

The absolute flavor of punk boy x weirdgirl ships........The inherently nonconformist nature of punk culture showing through the boy being down horrendous for the girl BECAUSE she's a misfit like him and not inspite of it................The lack of relathionship sabotage and sexist gender roling that's 'normal' in most m/f ships....................The pick me tears that flow in fandom every time they're even hinted at.................t4t autistic4autistic-coded and opposite yet complimentary aesthetics serve......................

Jason Todd 🤝 Sasuke Uchiha: I am traumatized and angry at the state of injustice in the world so obviously the solution is a hostile takeover of my home town. If I can Control Everything the bad things won’t happen anymore. This is a normal thought to have and attempt to execute

I will never get over how Sasuke kept being shown with cherry blossoms – literally "Sakura" in japanese
