Thank you @skykashi!!! It's perfect! You are amazing! If any anime character ever needed therapy, it's him.

Naruto did as she commanded, sliding the green haori on and getting a feel for it. The material was every bit as comfortable as it looked, and the flow of it as he moved was nice. Sakura’s hands landed on his shoulders, and he let her guide him to look in the mirror. He blinked. (...) I look like a real shinobi, Naruto thought. “Ah, good,” Kakashi-sensei said, appearing from nowhere just as quietly as Sasuke had. “You’ve discovered colors that aren’t going to burn out my retinas. Excellent. Are we satisfied?”

Here's a scene from chapter 7 of @themidnightguardian 's fanfiction "How to Redeem Your Past Mistakes, Commit Mild Treason, and Accidentally Build a Family" . I took some liberties with it, I feel like Sakura and Sasuke also deserved a shopping montage, haha.

I remember now why I spent the first 25 years of my life forgoing sleep : it was the fucking *~*Zone TM*~* and the unhealthy coping mechanisms. Did you know I have a lot of very important stuff to do?

always funny to me to see Certain People write paragraphs upon paragraphs about how "sasuke is actually the sweetest funniest smartest bestest babie girl ever" and then act like naruto didnt say those exact things first, and didnt believe them so hard he was gonna kill himself because no one else agreed

he was the original unhinged pro-sasuke blog he was literally fighting for his life while a global crisis was going on

20 Headcanons of my Favorite Akatsuki Member: Deidara

Something something the clay in his body/all the clay he’s chewed up somehow serves to severely dull his sense of taste. Therefore everything he eats *needs* to have an insane level of spice and heat to it just for him to be able to taste it.

His love of explosions is an inverse to his childhood fear of thunderstorms. At first he was afraid of monsters and his mom told him that if you make yourself scarier than the monster, the monster can’t hurt you. Cue Deidara practicing making the most horrible faces imaginable to freak out the creature under the bed. Later on Dei is scared of thunder and lightning, so mom tells him “be more fierce than the storm”. Thus is born experimenting with explosives.

He’s actually a fairly shy person. If he’s loud and obnoxious around you, it’s only because you make him feel comfortable enough to be so.

Deidara does not feel sexual attraction to someone unless he’s developed a very strong emotional connection to that person.  And even after that, sex to him isn’t all that important. He enjoys physical contact like hand-holding or kisses on the shoulder or neck more.

Dei is very intelligent. Scarily so. He thinks out five thousand moves ahead of everybody else all the time. But the problem is that he lets anger and impulsiveness take over so much of his brain that his logical side doesn’t get a chance to speak up as much as it needs to.

Deidara cherishes good conversation above all else in his friendships and relationships. Talking and debating over different topics gets him going in a way nothing else does. This is one of the primary reasons he fell so hard for Sasori; he’d never met anybody who could engage with his mind the way the puppet could.

Over time, Deidara came to feel very close to every single member of the Akatsuki, thinking of them as a second family. He even came to value Itachi, and enjoy being in his company, although it would take a miracle to pull this fact out of Dei willingly.

Dei is a big lover of stuffies/plushies. He feels a special kinship to those that are considered “ugly” or have something wrong with them (like a missing eye or a tear in the side).

Everyone assumes that to have flawless skin and perfect hair like Dei, that he must have an insane 29+ step skincare and body routine. But no. He’s just blessed with spectacularly good genes. He could skip washing his face and hair for a week and still look like he’s just stepped off of the cover of a beauty magazine.

When he was younger, he was highly sensitive about his looks. He was often bullied by outsiders for having arguably “feminine” features. He always felt his long hair was the majority of the problem and would beg his parents to cut it, but in their clan, cutting the hair was a taboo thing. Later in life after he lost his parents, he decided to keep his long hair as a tribute to them.

When he left home as a young teen, he spent a lot of years traveling and living off the land. He’s gotten to know about different types of animals and plants, and taught himself to fish and trap. Because of this nomadic lifestyle, he often feels uneasy or restless when settling in one place for more than a week.

Deidara figured out that “Tobi” was an Uchiha very early on in their partnership. He observed Tobi’s habits and even saw his unmasked face (and his sharingan eye) a few times, when Tobi had assumed Deidara to be asleep. But Dei was smart and realized that outing him or confronting him over it would likely end in Deidara’s own death. Therefore he continued to treat Tobi as if he was just a simpleton and never let on how much he actually knew. But Deidara’s constant training of his eye to be able to counteract gengetsu was as much for Tobi as it was for Itachi.

When he was a child, Deidara was embarrassed by the hands on his mouth, feeling like they made him a freak. Therefore he would never go out in public without gloves on, even in the hottest weather.

Dei has a voracious appetite and an insanely high metabolism, so he can eat and eat and remain as skinny as a rake. The first time Sasori ever took him on a date, he was mildly alarmed at how much food Deidara was able to put away, and went to Kakuzu later to ask if that was “normal human consumptive activity”.

Deidara isn’t one to dwell on feelings of loss or sadness but after Sasori’s death, he was consumed by depression for at least a year afterwards. Although Sasori’s puppet body was taken away, Deidara went back later and made Sasori a clay headstone at the spot where he died. He often goes to visit it, sitting and talking to the stone whenever he has free time. He also managed to find Sasori’s Akatsuki cloak and he uses this as a second blanket most nights.

Other than his own explosives, Deidara is extremely clumsy with weapons. He just doesn’t feel comfortable wielding anything other than his bombs.

He adores eating any and all types of fish, and although he isn’t the best cook he enjoys experimenting with different ways to prepare pescatarian dishes. He prefers fish he catches himself rather than buying from a market or peddler, and whenever the group has down time, he’ll often ask Kisame to go fishing with him. His biggest accomplishment was once wading into a stream where a salmon was trying to swim up a waterfall, grasping it and getting it to land with his bare hands.

Deidara is a complete lightweight when it comes to alcohol. One tiny drink is enough to put him on his ass. Also “drunk” Deidara is even MORE talkative than normal Deidara, so the others don’t include him when they drink very often.

In modern times, Deidara spends all of his free time in his room, listening to loud music (mostly Ska and classic rock) and sketching. He often goes through periods of extreme art block and he gets through them by binging reality tv shows. He’s especially fond of 90 Day Fiancé and has a little notebook where he keeps track of all the relationships throughout the different seasons of the show.

One of the most difficult things he has to adjust to in his relationship with Sasori is that Sasori is very quiet and doesn’t often openly express himself or his feelings. He’s not the most physically demonstrative person either, and although Deidara craves more attention from him, he knows that pushing for it would result in Sasori just shutting further into himself. One thing Dei noticed was that Sasori seemed to like touching his hair. So sometimes Deidara will go to him with a hairbrush and ask him if he minds brushing it out for him. Sasori will act like he’s being bothered, but he actually enjoys it quite a bit. Deidara will sit still and quiet for him and it’s in these close moments that Sasori is able to open up and speak freely to him about whatever he’s thinking or feeling.

Naruto...A Lesson in Attachment

This is Naruto Uzumaki.

And so is this.

So, how did he go from doing this:

Desecrating and vandalizing the village

To doing this:

Leading it.

We'll explore that, but first want to start where it all began.

Attachment!

These are Naruto's parents: Minato Namikaze, his dad. All around great shinobi, a prodigy, super talented, became Hokage at a really young age. And Kushina Uzumaki, his mom, quite an impressive kunoichi (female shinobi) in her own right.

So, yes, from the start Naruto had an extra leg-up with two loving parents who loved him and cared for him.

At least for a couple of hours.

Yes, he lost both of his parents as a newborn. So, what happened to that child? Well, it's below, but first a lesson about attachment and why it's important.

First there are four types of attachment:

Secure - confident, non-reactive, comes back from adversity; kids feel safe, secure, and trusting

Adult Naruto and his own family.

2. Avoidant-Dismissive - Independent, show little emotional needs, unemotional, little physical contact, manage own distress

Hear me out here, I would say Little Sasuke (sahs-kay) and his relationship with his father. Sasuke was independent and parents focused their attention primarily on his older brother. He eventually grew to become self-reliant and used other people to get his needs met, forming very few attachments along the way.

3. Disorganized/ Avoidant-Fearful - Inconsistent emotional support, crave attention from but also fear caregivers; often stemming from trauma

Anybody with this man, Orochimaru. Orochimaru thrived on creating disorganized attachments in the children he experimented on, kidnapped, worked with.

Or anybody with Danzo. Both preyed on orphans and their lack of secure attachments.

4. Anxious - Inconsistent parenting, so seeks reassurance to elicit caring response. May become really attached, dependent on others in a relationship to fulfill emotional needs, may become preoccupied with others. Place high hopes on others and get attached to potential. Sounds a little like our hero.

Inconsistent parenting

Granted, it wasn't the village leader's job to raise him, but he did step up and take responsibility for him. Just was inconsistent.

Becomes easily attached and preoccupied with others and their potential.

He literally chased Sasuke around for years (!) to force a friendship. He became obsessed not with the person Sasuke was, but the person he could be.

No matter how many times Sasuke tried to kill him or refused to come home.

Anxious attachment.

Poor attachment also can lead to behavioral struggles.

And poor academic performance

Naruto finished last in his academy class and failed three times.

So, what changed?

Healthy Relationships!

Iruka sensei, his first teacher, and ramen!

Team 7! Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi-sensei!

And friends!

Free therapy no jutsu

Drew this for the latest installment in the New Recruit series by the fantastic @butter--peanut ! Wherein Obito unwittingly acquires a decapitated serial killer-slash-therapist with surprisingly good advice. Read it here:

P.S. Obito got Hidan those glasses so it'd seem more professional and he'd feel better about it. It's not going well.

Do you ever think about how Obito (an Uchiha/a child born in the village/a sun themed good-natured boy) is (thematically) an amalgamation of all the people most important to Madara who he lost/left behind/disappointed/"betrayed" him (his best friend, his brother, his clan mates, the village)? All his closest bonds combined into one obito-shaped package. No wonder he wanted him as his comrade.

do you guys ever think about how he WAS SIX YEARS OLD

#naruto #kakashi hatake #kakashi #I DO #i think about it #hhhh sakumo please #someone should have helped him #BOTH OF THEM #baby kakashi #this is about his dad punching his own ticket in case you don't understand #cw blood #i can't believe he had to find his dad like that #i will kill kishimoto myself #someone start ninja therapy

[kakesuki]

Watching Naruto again and seeing how Orochimaru basically manipulated Sasuke and his dreams, made sure to put salt on any and every one of the wounds he could reach, kept blaming him for everything that had happened to him because yes, Sasuke was getting better and he KNEW it and that monster just needed to steal the child's body

Literally watching Anko, Anko who knew well Orochimaru, Anko who knew his mark's effect and how bad it was, ask Hiruzen to put Sasuke in quarantine because like i said, she knew how bad it was; just for him to be like 'nah, let's wait a little'

Like??? Bro literally giving an Uchiha to Oro in a golden plate--

And people still hate on Sasuke for leaving? Like Am I missing something??? Because to me, the boy seemed more like a victim of awful adults than a villain himself

#i need therapy rn #naruto #sasuke uchiha #Sasuke deserved better #Orochimaru anti #orochimaru #anti hiruzen #Boy was getting better #“We can't let him with Naruto or he might just actually stop thinking or revenge and become a normal child” OH YES BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE BA #And then Orochimaru just got forgiven?? Fucking hell no!
