Gaara bb,

I hope you’re doing okay.

[jacpin2002]

I adore this picture

[earstwo]

Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you. Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong.

[jacpin2002]

Damn...this is great

Super long Sasori post

I’m going to begin this by saying everyone is entitled to their view on Sasori and how to characterize him within the parameters set up by canon or whatever AU/Bent Timeline a person has inserted him into but I do believe there are certain things about him that remain the same no matter what situation you put him in– otherwise he’s just no longer Sasori (IMO.) So much of his character is about hyper analyzing his words and actions, and what others have said about him through a microscope because the fact of the matter is for such an interesting character he really had such little time. I was originally not going to bring shipping into this but as I was writing Sasosaku kinda slipped in there, mostly because it felt like it provided a good contrast to what we get of Sasori in canon and how it can translate into fanon. (All of these opinions are based on the Manga and the Akatsuki formation because OP cannot be assed with novels and filler for the most part…Making an exception for Komushi.) 1. He’s highly manipulative. He’s a puppet master and he has a spy ring. He gathers information so he can use it against people, he manipulates the corpses of what used to be people–or things that LOOK, very often like people. That says a lot about who he is as a person. And when you first see his real face, when he reveals himself to Chiyo this is the face you get; 

I don’t get the impression that he’s actually happy to see her given the events that follow, its largely about trying to put his grandmother off center and BOTHER her. Sasori is perfectly capable of acting to get to a desired result–which makes a lot of sense to me because while Bunraku is largely about the Narrator’s words there is also the performance element to it via the puppets. 2. He’s all about control. Control of himself, of others, of events. It’s really an offshoot of manipulation but I don’t think Sasori blinks without putting thought into the action. ( I mean technically, lmao given his unique anatomy in canon that might be 100% accurate.) 3. He’s not only an artist. The guy is the very definition of being a mad scientist. He sits at a place where Art and Science meet and become something more. It’s not one or the other when it comes to Sasori, there is something almost Frankenstein like in the way that he creates his human puppets, the 3rd and himself. Think about the knowledge that had to go into that from basic human anatomy to the chakra system as a whole. I mean we never get a play by play on HOW he did it but we know he’s the only one who ever did and then repeated a similar, much more complicated process on himself. Then there is his poison, we know he’s primarily relied on the infamous one because it was sooo effective (until it wasn’t, thanks Sakura.) But we have to assume given how he is Sasori makes ART out of deadly concoctions and methods of murder. To him synthesizing that poison was probably no different than an artist trying to get that perfect shade of red. The word thing about Sasori ( and I guess it’s just ONE of the many weird things) Is that for an Artist he is very…clinical. When we think about people in the arts we often imagine passionate people like Deidara–bombastic and flamboyant free spirits.  4. Logical and likely to the extreme. He’s not a sore loser. When he loses and it’s fair he accepts it. He’s not bitter about the end of his fight with Sakura and Chiyo, he’s not pissy with Konan–he respects it because to Sasori the weak die and the strong survive, losers don’t have a right to complain when they shoulda got gud to begin with. I don’t doubt that in Sasori’s logical mind he came to the conclusion that his parents died because they were weak. Ergo unlike Chiyo he’s just completely unaffected by seeing Kakashi, the world just followed its natural order in the death of his parents. He’s got a reptile brain and he just sort of views people as animals because it’s probably simpler–except for himself. He thinks he’s above that, to himself he is a god. The thing with Komushi…I perceive it as largely an accident but in Sasori’s “perfectly” logical mind he was just like well: it’s sort of Komushi’s own fault and never let a tragedy go to waste because again, hyper logical. Not only that but he was BEGGED to do something for Komushi and there really was nothing to be done for him at that point other than make something useful out of his death. The problem with being TOO logical is that it is just as detrimental as being too emotional. If we all just went around doing what was logical we’d be no different than animals or machines. Logic dictates we do whatever it takes to survive and come out on top even at the expense of others but because we are balanced by emotion most people don’t live like that. On the flipside because he’s logical he can be convinced by compelling arguments without ego getting in the way. In this same vein he finds it very difficult to feel sorry about things he’s done in the past but when able to recognize it was wrong he can accept it and simply resolve not to do it in the future–he doesn’t have the capacity to agonize over feelings of guilt. 5. He hates being lied to and he’s impatient. Sasori will lie to everyone around him and even to himself if he can manage it but if he finds out He’s the one being lied to? Intense hate. See points 1&2. 6. He’s blunt and often rude when acting as his natural self. I don’t find the need to explain this one much. 7. Sasori is largely self-focused. He thinks he has a perfect handle on himself and understands exactly why he is the way he is–but it couldn’t be further from the truth. He really doesn’t understand his own feelings much less those of others and what he does understand he often doesn’t care about. This can be changed if a person is able to get through to him. This is the guy who thought that by removing his concious from a human body and sticking it into what’s basically a decorative vase all his problems would MAGICALLY vanish. Because as smart as he is, he was also desperate to escape his own feelings not realizing that when you pour the water in one glass into another glass the contents remain the same. No matter how hard he tries he cannot escape the problem plaguing him; himself. 8. Sasori does not value life, not his own and certainly not others. Unless you are like that ONE person who is able to get through to him. He has what I would call a “Very narrow heart.”  which simply does not have a lot of space for people. To him it’s probably Sasori and “That Person” VS the world. 9. He likes things that last, sculptures and paintings, classical music and literature, things that have been around for ages and withstood the trials of time. 10. He does not do well on his own. He thinks he does but he really doesn’t, when he is by himself he is destructive. When he feels alone he is at his most dangerous. Sasori is very much a person who NEEDS someone to essentially be his emotional center otherwise we get him turning himself into a puppet in what amounted to a one longass theatrical suicide. 11. Sasori was probably always a little…different even as a kid but environment and events certainly played a role. His parents died at an early age and he was essentially lied to and given false hope. (hence the impatience and hatred of lies.) Throw into that an intellect seldom seen in a time of war where child soldiers are the norm. He killed his first person at 8, he earned himself a title denoting that he was so good at killing he soaked the sands in blood. Imagine what that’s like at 8, getting a pat on the head everytime you kill someone? Of course you would become conditioned to believe that killing is right and good when you’re being congratulated and rewarded for being proficient at it. Its assumption on my part but I do believe Sasori lays somewhere on the Antisocial Personality Disorder spectrum. 12. He’s vain AF. Look at him. He made sure to replicate himself in his prime to perfect detail in the places that were most visible, his face and his hands. He could have made himself look like anything but in the end he still chose that form. 13. When he wants something he makes a plan and gets it done. Doesn’t matter how long or what he has to do to get to point A to point B he’s going to do it. 14. He has three main expressions; blank, smug and insane. 15: His power levels are insane, he is a master of multiple trades. The guy ganked a Kage at 15, toppled a nation, made himself a new body with mysterious methods. It’s time for the Sasosaku bit: Part of the reason why I think the two of them fit so well together is that they are opposites and yet complimentary. Sakura is an antidote and Sasori is the poison, but sometimes a medicine can become a poison and a poison can be used as medicine. Sakura is a close range combatant and Sasori is long but they have this odd intersection of skill sets and interest. They both deal in the human body and the manipulation of it, Sakura’s focus is to maintain it as it is and improve its condition if needed and Sasori’s is to both destroy and create it anew all at once. If they weren’t trying to kill one another in canon they would have had tons to talk about. Ultimately Sakura gets gut stabbed not because he was aiming for her but because she got LITERALLY in the way of a family feud. He was going for Chiyo and you can assume that’s because he thought his grandma was the bigger threat or because he was still bitter about the past on some subconscious level and was gunning for her–i mean he goes in for Chiyo a second time after he disconnects from the arm Sakura was death gripping. But Sakura’s selfless action is something that viscerally shocks him: 

And it only gets worse when Chiyo starts feeding her life force into Sakura–a second selfless act on the part of someone he hates and feels wronged by. Sakura values life and Sasori doesn’t because he doesn’t understand it. He was raised his whole life to think that people like them–Shinobi had no value other than to kill or to be killed. He’s visibly shocked when she starts yelling after socking him in the face about Human lives and family bonds. Like no one had ever mentioned that to him before and forget about risking your life to save someone else’s, that goes against his logical lizard brain. At that point he’s already beaten, he’s already impressed with her. It’s right after her punching him that Sasori gives what amounts to an odd marriage proposal IMO. It was completely pointless of him to even bring it up but you can tell by the “Glint” in his eye that he meant it. Sasori: Want to become like me? You’ll get what I mean. An undecaying body, Unfettered by a mortal lifespan, capable of being rebuilt over and over again. ( if you were immortal would you offer immortality to someone you had no interest in? Not me. I wouldn’t want to have them around for virtually “forever” in any shape or form. And Sasori is not talking about making Sakura into just some controllable puppet, he’s talking about being JUST like him, sentient thought and movement.) Sasori: I can make as many people as I want out of puppets….-Looks dead at Sakura- If I want them…but my collection isn’t just about quantity. Quality is important too. That whole conversation is like A CREEPY FLIRTATION from him because we know what he considers “True beauty” to be. Eternal. And then it comes to a head where he gives her a “sentimental reward” in the information she wanted. Now I’m not saying Sakura was interested or anything but it seems like he was in some shape or form. In my opinion when you put someone like Sakura–who is brilliant and logical but also heavily swayed by her emotions with someone like Sasori, brilliant, logical and emotionally repressed. A person who values life with someone who neither values their own life or others what you get is agitation. Agitation is not a bad thing, it breaks stagnation–which is what, imo drives Sasori to his death. It is the lack of change, he’s made it so he cannot feel physically and he has tried his hardest and for the most part succeeded in numbing his inner feelings. Part of me is convinced that what ultimately kills him is complacency. He gets so used to being at the top that when he is confronted with someone who neutralizes his life’s work and destroys his collection and keeps confronting and beating him with all the qualities he deems useless and pointless it just drives home the point that everything he has ever done or thought was in vain and on some level wrong. There is no point in winning against them because everything is already destroyed. There is no going back to what he was before, therefore death is preferable. Through Sakura, in Au’s or alt timelines, or w/e she is able to reach him through their similarities but change him due to the fundamental differences in their nature.  As to what Sakura gets from Sasori; Someone who clearly respects her skills and understands her interests because his own align–and therefore would be supportive and present. The two of them actually have things in common and therefore shit to talk about.  In that same vein Sasori seems like the type of person who if he were to fall in love it is to the point of obsession, for someone who was repressed and held themselves apart from others I see him in a lot of ways as almost touch, and certainly affection starved. It becomes addictive to him. (Which is probably why when I write him he’s handsy.)  We know how Sakura likes to take care of people–we see it with Naruto, Sasuke and Sai. In some of these cases it is often to the detriment of her own well being and Sasori, the selfish person that he is, can reign that in and pull it back so that it isn’t so all consuming. (mostly because the only person she should be worried about is herself and him.) In the end, If Sasori is the logic and Sakura is the emotion, what you end up with is something more balanced. In the same way that if you were to mix a Poison with an Antidote you would end up with a neutralization. These are just my personal opinions and thoughts on the matter. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also I headcanon that Sasori is basically Sakura-sexual so -cough- there. I guess that’s a topic for another time… Look at all these conceited Sasori faces:

The Paths We Take: Chapter 16- Spider Web- Up Now :)

Pairing: Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger, Blaise Zabini/Ginny Weasley

Synopsis: When a simple bet during a year end field trip to a muggle museum goes terribly wrong, four students find themselves unwillingly thrown through time by an ancient amulet. Can they work together long enough to survive the multiple time periods, or will they fall victim to the horrors of the past and remain there…forever?

Preview:

“Why are you not in Chambersburg, Tala?” Caleb asked when he noticed that Draco and his friends seemed apprehensive to meet his beloved. “We were headin up that way after I found these four in the middle of a battlefield.”

Tala’s lips fell to a frown as she faced her sweetheart and lowered her head before looking up to Anoki in sorrow.

“A-after the fires a few weeks ago and the Confederates passing through…” Anoki began to explain, “our people no longer felt safe…We have decided to move into the South Mountain until the war settles down.”

“You are movin half the town?”

“We do not have a choice” Tala cut in. “Many were planning to leave on their own, which would have been dangerous…We could not leave them. I am the Chief’s daughter, and since my father’s passing…I was chosen to lead, Caleb…These are my people and I cannot leave them to fend for themselves.”

Chapter 21 of Entanglement is now up! [ffn] [ao3]

“Come,” Malfoy’s voice broke through her thoughts. “I’ve checked the wards. She hasn’t rescinded Malfoy access.”

She swallowed and nodded at him, feeling unable to find her voice. When he started to move forward, he paused as he tried to pull her with him only to find her firmly planted where she stood.

“Granger.” He stepped back toward her. “Look at me.”

She’d barely noticed that he was but a spot in her periphery until his fingers on her chin forced her to look at him.

Fucking love him

[dreamsofdramione]

I’m hoping you could help me out luv! I’m pretty new to the wonderful world of Dramione, but it’s safe to say i’m already obsessed. I’m wondering if there are any fics that you could recommend? Some must reads? Thanks!!

Hi there! Thanks so much for asking me this! Honestly, I love SO many fics it would be incredibly hard for me to choose just a few and my list will probably change in ten minutes because there are just SO MANY amazing fics. I’m also going to give you author pages and a few links to some edits/my bookmarks if that’s okay! As I delve deeper into the hp fandom I find that I’m not strictly invested in only Dramione, I love quite a few HP ships too. Now, I’ve only been reading Dramione for about a year and a half so there are still quite a few fics that I am positive are wonderful that I haven’t read yet.

My dear friend @lilibug–xx just put together a FANTASTIC rec list a few days ago, so make sure to check that out!

All of my Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy Ao3 Bookmarks

@monsterleadmehome Ao3 Profile // @raven-maiden Ao3 Profile

I will give you 10 (okay, 11 because I couldn’t choose) recs of specific fics I think EVERYONE should read below

your greatest illumination by @lilibug–xx is a one shot featuring bickering, bantering sexy dramione smut

Still Life by @monsterleadmehome is DELICIOUS and very well written

All You Want by @senlinyuwrites is an epic length ABO fic that is pure fire.

Distance by @indreamsink is long and complex with hints of mystery. Featuring enemies to loves and co-workers, it sucked me right in.

The Fallout by sage is probably THE dramione fic for me personally. It’s long but beautifully written and so incredibly immersive. 

Unchained by @ladykenz347 WRECKED ME in the best way of course. It’s technically a love triangle fic so make sure you’re prepared to hurt a bit, but it is FANTASTIC.

Looking Glass by @kyonomiko is PHENOMENAL! Nearly 100k of snarky, sexy draco trapped in a portrait. I promise it’s well worth a read.

The Best of Me by @mrsren96 is SO GOOD! It’s just starting off but I’m lucky enough to alpha read it and I can promise you Kelsey has some AMAZING stuff in store. 

The Gloriana Set by ThebeMoon  is an epic length with one chapter to go. It’s written SO WELL and set at Hogwarts. Easily one of my absolute faves.

Gaining Her Favor by @disenchantedglow & @ms-merlinblack is a holiday fic that’s fluffy and adorable and I absolutely devoured it.

Every Day, a Little Death by @lovesbitca8 is smutty and wonderful. I’m such a sucker for the physically involved and oblivious to the emotional investment trope and this fic has that in spades.

AND if you happen to be into Dramione + one, here are three of my favorites

The Sugar and Spice Series by @inlovewithforever - Draco x Hermione x Theo

East of Eden by @ms-merlinblack - Draco x Hermione x Harry

Fourteen Thousand Galleons by @frumpologist - Draco x Hermione x Harry

PHEW THAT GOT SO LONG! I hope this list helps and thanks for the ask

Sasosaku Month Day 16- Unexpected Connection

“It’s the End of the F***ing World” AU: (This is a really good show on Netflix btw, you should check it out if you can)

Sasori’s parents died in a car crash when he was young (he was there). Afterwards, his grandmother hides the fact that his parents didn’t make it until the truth comes out week later. He lives with her, and she loves him, but he hates her. Growing up, he thinks he is incapable of emotion.

Sakura’s parents love her dearly, but don’t seem to understand her lately. Her ex boyfriend, Sasuke, disappeared after putting her best friend Naruto in a coma. She feels abandoned when her parents decide to send her to another school (the equivalent of Sunagakure). She lashes out, and thinks people are fake. 

Sakura sees Sasori and decides she likes him, because he’s different. Sasori thinks he is a psychopath, and wants to kill her. He pretends to fall in love with her, and looks forward to stabbing her, to confirm that he is a psychopath.

Instead, she asks him to leave with her. He steals his grandma’s vintage car, and they run off together. He assures himself he is no hurry to kill her (but he keeps putting it off).

Things don’t go as planned, and Sasori ends up killing an actual psychopath while protecting Sakura. Sasori realizes then that he is not an actual psychopath. More drama ensues!

Sasori isn’t quite as passive, but he is a lot like James. 

Unlike Alyssa, Sakura isn’t as rude or brash, but she is angry at the world. This part of the story is what I would change most, and there is plenty of drama I can make up for her.

There were similarities, and ever since I saw season 1, it reminded me of Sasosaku! These are some of my favorite screenshots of them!

[jacpin2002]

Fantastic as always

Sasosaku Month Day 7- A Second Chance

My first fanfiction is finally here! I have posted the first 7 chapters here!

A 15 year old Sasori turns up in the Leaf Village almost one year after Sakura defeats him (in canon). Not knowing what to do with this young, (semi) innocent Sasori, Sakura hides him from the world.

This is a project I have been working on for the past few years. I decided to actually write it after drawing a scene depicting Sasori ending up in Sakura’s timeline. I think the best AU for them is one that allows them to be their canon selves, but presents Sasori at Sakura’s emotional level.

I love playing with the concept of redemption, and if human beings are products of their environments or their biology. Can Sasori change his course, or was he always doomed to become a psychopathic puppet man?

My favorite thing about Sakura and Sasori’s dynamic is that they challenge each other. I wanted to use this story to put their best and worst qualities on display, and how they effect each other’s thought processes. This is technically labeled as a romantic story, but the main focus is Sasori’s development as a human being, as well as his friendship with Sakura. Thank you for reading!

I adore this!! I need a multichapter fic on this

[writingsbychlo]

things about Kai Parker that no-one talks about

↠ He spends twenty years in isolation, and is then blamed for being crazy.

↠ He is outcast, isolated and frankly, treated like shit his entire life for being a siphoner and then blamed for snapping.

↠ He has no idea how anything works, he missed 20 years of modern day technology development and political change.

↠ He was sent to the Prison World at age 22. I don’t care what anyone says, he was practically still a child.

↠ He was clearly abused both mentally and (judging by his fathers attitude) most likely physically abused for the way he was born, as if siphoning was his fault.

↠ He was raised with the knowledge that he was born to die for Jo, because he wasn’t as strong as her.

↠ He probably had a pet that he never got to say goodbye to.

↠ Any friends/associates he had would have aged and left him behind.

↠ He was raised in a family that hated him.

↠ He was always in his sister’s shadow for a nature he couldn’t change.

↠ I don’t care what anyone says, he clearly states that he had a ‘soft spot’ for one of his sisters, indicating he had feelings.

↠ He always had fucking feelings, and he was treated like they didn’t matter.

↠ Nobody would listen to him or help him.

↠ Nobody helps him adjust to modern life.

↠ He blatantly tried to help Bonnie, even if for selfish & confused reasons, by trying to kill Damon. He could’ve just siphoned her magic, slit her throat for the Bennett blood and left them both, he didn’t.

↠ He didn’t ever want to leave them there in the first place, because he knew how bad it was.

↠ He completed a fucking crossword and left a treasure trial. Low-key adorable.

↠ He was condemned for who he was after being born to die and refusing that fate.

↠ He was always made to feel like a burden of the family.

↠ Despite having a ‘soft spot’ for his sister, clearly showing he had emotions, he was always going to be the ‘bad child’.

↠ He was named ‘Malachai’ and acknowledged that everyone thought he was evil. Imagine being raised as ‘the evil child’ and then having to suffer for what they made you.

↠ He tried so fucking hard so apologise to everyone, and get what he wanted without hurting anyone. ALL HE WANTED WAS FORGIVENESS.

↠ Nobody made being good worth his while, so why should he be?

↠ I know he did bad stuff, I’m not saying the fact that he stabbed Jo and whatnot is okay, but you can clearly see that the person he is, isn’t who he wants to be.

If you ever have the nerve to tell me that Kai Parker is anything but a victim we cannot be friends. 

He was a child, condemned to a life sentence of pain and suffering for crimes that were not his fault.
