TobiDei Week is a fanweek on tumblr celebrating the Tobi x Deidara ship (Uchiha Obito and Deidara from Naruto). All languages are welcome and every year the prompt list is translated to several languages including Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese, apart from English. The tumblr blog for the event was created on 21 August 2017.[1]
Every year, the Tobidei Week event has always had an original cover fanart, commissioned by Ubeetlebum. In the first eight years, it has been created by the Spanish artist Nekokagegirl.
Traditionally, day six is reserved for NSFW themes.
Rules

- Tobidei centric works only. Side pairings or characters are okay.
- All languages are accepted.
- Please use the tag #Tobideiweek on your entries within the first 5 tags.

- No reposting. The point of the event is to show our love for the pairing by creating something new.
