Hi! You say that you are multifandom right? Do you write something based on "Naruto"? I really like your works 😭❤️

If you do could you write something with Deidara? Something like 'He's criminal from Akatsuki and you are just a simple civilian girl from the village he destroyed but you survived and for some reason he started falling for you and don't want your death'...

I KNOW IT'S A BIT MESSY COMISSION BUT I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT THIS PLOT... I think you could make it in words with sense....😭😭😭

Hellloooo there ☕

Ah, so sweet of you, buddy. I appreciate. I'm glad people like the way I express my art (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Back to your commission... Sure! I can do that, I guess. I watched Naruto long time ago but Deidara was my favourite character. It's like to see your ex again, you know?

Today's guest is an S rank member of Akatsuki from Iwagakure

Deidara

He's a criminal who destroyed your village to the ground, but he doesn't want to leave you alone.

It always begins with fire.

Not with feelings — with an explosion.

With blinding light, with the earth screaming, with air that tears at the lungs. Deidara doesn’t see faces when he destroys villages. To him, it’s a canvas, a form, a moment. Art is an instant, and an instant doesn’t ask who you are.

But you survived.

He didn’t notice you right away. At first, it was just a strange sensation, as if something among the ashes was out of place. Not hatred, not fear, not curses. You stood there, clutching a dust-stained piece of cloth, looking not at him — but at the sky, as if trying to remember it the way it was before. That struck him. Not sharply, not violently. Quietly. Like a crack in a perfectly calculated explosion.

Deidara never comes back. But that time — he did.

He tells himself it’s curiosity. That you’re an artifact, a remnant left after destruction. That it’s interesting to observe what a person looks like when everything has been taken from them except their life. He convinces himself that if he wanted to, he could erase you with a single snap of his fingers. And that is precisely why he doesn’t.

You don’t scream when you see him again. You don’t have the strength to hate. Everything has already burned away. And that disarms him more than any jutsu ever could.

He talks to you as if you’re not standing on opposite sides of a catastrophe, but simply beside each other. Abrupt, cocky, sometimes almost mocking — but without the cruelty he usually allows himself. You don’t accuse him. You ask questions. And that makes him uncomfortable — he isn’t used to explaining; he’s used to proving.

You don’t justify him. And you don’t curse him. You just keep living, however you can, among the ruins — and somehow that clings to him more tightly than tears ever would.

Deidara is a man of the moment. He lives in the second before the blast, in the beauty of destruction. And you live in the silence after. In the settling smoke. In the ground that is still warm. You are what remains when the art is over. And he doesn’t understand why he can’t look away from you.

He never says the word “love.” For him, it’s too static. Too long-lasting. Instead, he says:

“You’re weird.”

And that is his confession.

He brings you food as if it’s nothing. Leaves protective seals — not for the village, for you. He snaps when you get hurt, because “you can’t be so careless,” even though he knows perfectly well who made the world around you dangerous. His care is rough, clumsy, sometimes almost aggressive — but it’s real.

Sometimes you see guilt in his eyes. He hates that feeling. It gets in the way. It makes the explosions quieter. But he doesn’t drive it away. Because if he does, he’ll have to leave you too.

You are his contradiction. His mistake. His weakness.

He knows he has no right to be near you. That his hands are the same ones that turned your life to ash. And that’s why he keeps a slight distance, never fully allowing himself to touch you, as if he’s afraid that one wrong move — and you’ll crumble, like everything else.

But when you fall asleep, he stays nearby. Watching. Because if the world has already taken everything from you, he won’t let it take the night as well.

Deidara will never promise a future. He doesn’t know how to deal in “later.” His love is here and now: protection, the choice not to press, not to detonate, not to leave. Every day is a new refusal of his own nature — for you.

And maybe that is his truest art.

Not the explosion.

But the restraint.

It's actually sad that Deidara escaping during the war is only a filler, because it actually has some gold moments

• "Brother Deidara, are you still alive?" "No, I'm dead." 10/10

• Mifune being badass

• Kurotsuchi's 100% accurate Sasuke cosplay because "I'm only interested in Naruto" is the truest thing in the whole show

• Deidara kinda missing Sasori and realizing that art is eternal

Iwagakure really looked at this child and said "yes let's enlist him in the military and send him to the war"

Naruto Banned Books Week 2025 October 6-10, 2025

This event is open to all of the Naruto Fandom. Write something fascists would burn

October 6: Dystopian October 7: LBGTQAI October 8: Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll October 9: Political October 10: Problematic Histories

Brought to you by @tipsyraconteur and @mrssakurahatake More info below the cut

Dystopian: October 6

Dystopian books are often banned for portrayals of violent and crumpling societies. Marked by themes of rebellion, anarchy, violence, and control, dystopian books are often challenged for being age inappropriate or anti-government. What happens when society becomes the worst it can be? Do the people of Kumogakure rise up when everything has been taken away?

LBGTQIA+: October 7

Queer literature is essential for those learning to accept who they are through representation in a larger community. Challenges to queer fictions are often masked by claims of protecting the children it is there to support. 

Does Iwagakure punish love for the sake of tradition? Does Konohagakure arrange marriages to build their shinobi army? 

Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll: October 8

For centuries sex has been seen as something taboo. Drugs have been blamed for the destruction of society and corruptions of generations. Everyone from Mozart to Megan TheeStallion have been blamed for inspiring revelations. 

Censorship can happen anywhere, especially when you’re not looking. Does Sunagakure ban Icha Icha? Is there a war on drugs in Kirigakure? 

Political: October 9

From allegories to autobiographies, books that challenge authority, question the system, and demand a better world have been targets from those with the power or opposing view point.

What’s hidden is Tobirama’s journals? What happened behind the scenes as Onoki rose to power. 

Problematic History: October 10

Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. However, the things that are the hardest to face, can be easier to erase. Wars, discrimination, genocide.

What really happened in the Bloody Mist? What secrets from the first ninja war are best left untold? 

Themes are for all villages and pairings, or no pairing at all.  Any examples listed are just to spark your inspiration. Set your stories in whichever village and timeline pleases your muse

[sepublic]

Deidara kind of is the natural end result of a system that trains children into worshipping legacy while prepping them to find meaning in dying young at any moment while also valorizing destruction and violence.

I find myself wishing that Onoki and Iwagakure as a whole were introduced naturally in the Sasuke vs Deidara arc. Like imagine Sasuke knowing the rumors of Iwagakure’s dealings with the Akatsuki and going there to find whatever Akatsuki member he can lay his hands on to learn Itachi’s location.

We’re introduced to Onoki and his relationship with Deidara and how he remains fond of him and Dei still does missions for him as an Akatsuki even after the terrorist bombings. A direct link is made between the system and Deidara’s ideology without trying to make excuses for him either. Sasuke eventually confronts Deidara and he blows himself up with C0. The battle is probably away from the village but the shockwave is close enough to cause a lot of damage and deaths.

Onoki is forced to grapple with the fact that he essentially caused this; He caused Deidara to turn out like that and enabled his behavior and not only did his boy kill himself because of it but he also killed his people for it as well. Maybe Han and Roshi getting captured in the chaos of this arc also occurs, and we explore what dynamic they had with the village, how Onoki deprived his village of a means of protection for it. And that uneasy state of mind creates actual setup for Gaara to call out Onoki and change his mind with just a one-liner.

you ask every country who their least favorite country is and basically everyone says Kiri (including. Kiri nin) but Konoha and Iwa say each other. I just beleive that uncritically
