Hi! I know this is totally out of the blue but I’d love to hear some of your headcanons for human Sasori (can be NSFW too)
I’m not really sure if you meant Sasori as a human in a world where no powers exist, Sasori as a regular person (not a shinobi) in the Naruto world, Sasori when he was a human, or Sasori if he was turned into a human. I decided to focus on the latter two, but if this isn’t what you were looking for, feel free to send another ask!
I think Sasori was actually quite sensitive as a child. He could feel emotions just as strong as others, but he just didn’t express them. Not because he or someone else was forcing him to suppress them, though. He was just naturally like that.
His flat affect and deadpan delivery, unsurprisingly, worked against him in the friendship department. He thought that suited him just fine— he had his interests (puppetry and poison making) to occupy his time— and, after years of being alone, he started to genuinely believe it.
Deep down, I think he wanted a place to belong (which he’d probably vehemently deny). Despite how dysfunctional they were, the Akatsuki eventually became that. It’s why he held such a grudge against Orochimaru for betraying them.
If he ever had to be back in a human body again, he would hate it. Not only is it a slap in the face of his art, but he’d gotten so used to being inhuman that all the inconveniences of the human body would irritate him to no end. He would never want to be human again if he could help it.
Fortunately for him, he was a human before, so it doesn't take him very long at all to figure out (read: remember) how to pilot one. He’d be acting like his usual self in no time— and immediately try to find a way to reverse it— minus the extra frustration of having to take care of human needs he thought he’d long shed.
If he was short-tempered and impatient before, it’s way worse now.
Because of how devoted he is to his art, I don’t see a world where he doesn’t turn himself into a puppet. To become a master at one’s art, they have to become it (or something like that…)
Sasori is a very practical and logical person. If, for some reason, he’d chosen to stay human, he’d quickly realize the mistake he made in doing so. Turning himself into a puppet would not just advance his art, it would also make him harder to defeat (so he could continue to perfect his technique).
