I’m just going to keep adding the pages to the orig. post it seems more sensible?
Also since tunglr has a vendetta against links, the original comic can be found by going through the #hanahaki tag from this post on my blog, apologies.
what she means: deidara is the only akatsuki member without a clear backstory. it's unclear why he became so obsessed with "art", what pushed him to leave his village, the exact nature of his relationship with kurotsuchi, etc. the story offers no explanation for his behavior. does he have a tragic past like everyone else in the damn show? is he just seriously mentally ill? what's his fucking deal, kishimoto? i need to know. the people need to know.
Kushina: No- OF COURSE YOU CAN'T GO AFTER SASUKE. HE DID IT WITH HIS OWN HAND. HE'LL HAVE TO BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES ON HIS OWN.
Naruto: Ugh, mom! You don't understand. Dad, help me!
Minato:(opens mouth to say something)(gets an warning stare from Kushina) I'm sure you can do without him, son. Go play with your friends or something. (Puts head back into News Paper)
He’s Filipino (this is largely in part to my Filipino friend stanning iruka and saying he thought iruka was Filipino which like. Yeah I like That! Make iruka what u want but he sure as heck isn’t white)
The scar on his nose is from someone trying to take out his eyes when he was younger
With this line of thought, I think he has an ocular kekkei genkai that he doesn’t know much about bc his parents died when he was young
I also think that he’s a refugee of uzushiogakure and konoha doesn’t know shit about their kekkei genkais and iruka doesn’t tell anyone he has it bc fuck h*ruzen so he’s really just going with the flow when it comes to it
He met kushina a couple times bc she talked to his parents sometimes about life in uzushio
He’s best friends with anko
He and asuma get together and talk about how shitty h*ruzen was (don’t even get me started on that scene at the cenotaph)
He’s a seals master! J*raiya Who???? We don’t need him!!!
He tells Naruto what he remembers about uzushio and teaches him the dialect
He meets Karin and tells her about uzushio as well. He’s really quiet about his childhood and his past and is very anti war bc he sees what it does to ppl (they’re child soldiers who he taught as children!!!) and lived through it but with Naruto and Karin he tells them a lot about it bc they have a right to know their history
Mito liked iruka. Kids got spunk, can speak her language, and reminds her of her husband. Because of this, tsunade meets iruka and immediately is like “oh my brother now” and acts like an older sister with him
Any of you feeling awkward, remember how i walked down the stairs the other day heading to biology in the most tired mood ever, and because of that, i took a wrong step, i losy ballance and i rolled down AN ENTIRE FUCKING FLIGHT OF STAIRS. Worst part? About 50 kids saw that.
After that, of course that the word got out that someone rolled down the stairs, and some boy in my class thought i fell from the fridging second floor to the ground floor. Like, boy, even if i did, i would still go to biology 'cuz i had a test that day and i didn't spend so many hours there for nothing.
