Sans titre

Commission I did for @18ndrift awhile ago 🥰

Deidara was (most likely) born in Iwagakure and grew up there. He's a highlander, so he's naturally predisposed to have larger lungs and their volume, which is why he's so well-adapted to flying at high altitudes: he's used to living in low-oxygen environments

meanwhile, Sasori is a lowlander from the desert, however, because of the minor body modifications he did to himself, he has no lungs, so the low amounts of oxygen in the air during Deidara airlines flights do not bother him

however, you know who else is Deidara's lowlander partner? that's right, Obito. Obito who actually still has lungs and needs them for his life of being a menace to society

so literally, what was probably happening is Deidara takes them up into the sky because they've got mission deadlines to catch up on and begins to explain in detail his battle plans to Tobi. 30 minutes have passed and he hadn't stopped talking at all. then, he finally asks: okay, that's about it, hm. did you get everything, Tobi?

and meanwhile altitude sickness got Obito like this:

AU where Gojo and Shoko save Geto after his battle with Yuta

I love when fics/hcs imply Sasori as Akatsuki’s cranky doctor due to his intricate knowledge of toxins, anatomy, etc.

if you think about it, Deidara was just rock Naruto without an Iruka to stop him from going off the rails 🤔💥

it’s probably an animation error, but sometimes edo tensei sasori is drawn taller than deidara and my headcanon to explain this is that sasori gets revived in his 35yo human body
