#at least this is how the scenario goes in my delusions
Note
I am happy you liked my JJL brainrot, ‘cause there’s more to come. This time with Mitsuba and Jobin (Local Milf and Dilf 🥵). I feel like these two would share their darling, and have a soft spot for a shy s/o namely because they could spoil their s/o to the moon and beyond (Pun very much intended 😉) and seeing they're easily persuaded comparing to a headstrong darling.
At some point their affection kinda goes into the overbearing territory (Like Mother, Like son I suppose 😭). If their darling tries to leave, debt trap time that or they’ll use their connections to make sure their darling stays with them.
Jobin has his family business running, so money won't be an issue at all (He gives me sugar daddy vibes). Won't hesitate to buy anything his darling’s eye lands on. After all, he likes to see a smile on her face by any means. I can see him buying beetle like accessories to his darling. It makes him go 🥵 at the sight.
While Mitsuba has her modeling career money, too. I feel she would take her darling to shopping spree, and would fawn over the fact that she and her sweet darling are both matching in clothing.
Bonus point; If their darling is good with children, especially Tsuguri. It will just further their delusions beliefs on how you’d be an excellent addition to the family. I wouldn’t put it above Kaato to start assisting her son and daughter in law to gain their darling. After all, she literary got rid of the one bully who had harmed Jobin when he was younger. What makes you think she won't do anything for a future family member of hers? Platonic! Yandere! Higashikata family? You bet.
I have this scenario buried in my head for some reason, a blurb if you will.
~~~
Morioh, S city, Japan. At one point, it used to be your hometown. That is until your mother got a lucrative business offer in USA. A famed investor was willing to to sponsor your family’s bakery, that had been opened for generations. Which forced you and your family to leave Morioh for a long time.
When you’re younger, you remembered throwing major tantrums wishing not to leave. Though the reason why you did so was murky. However seeing your hometown again, made your eyes shed tears and a shy of a smile was painted on your face as nostalgia flooded your mind.
You were finally here. As the only child in your family, it was your duty to carry on where your mother has left. To continue managing your family’s bakery. Moonlight Delight.
Over the years from your mother’s shrewd mindset/experience and your baking skills, it went from a local bakery into having multiple branches across the globe. Though, for some unknown reason your heart wanted to manage the Morioh department and that what you essentially did.
The first few weeks, business was booming. Customers were coming in hordes to try some of your family secret recipes and specialties. To say the least, seeing your customers leaving with a smile is making you satisfied. After all, life is too short and desserts are everlasting. That was the motto of your shop, at least.
One day, however, a lady you could immediately recognize has visited you. It was Mitsuba Higashikata. You have heard of her from your mother and different modeling sources—since you may or may not have an interest in fashion magazines.
She was a beauty; With her slim build, short brown hair, and a confident smile on her fair visage. Her sleeveless pink shirt, alongside her checkered skirt which highlighted her build, and her heels did her wonders as well.
“Good afternoon, Ma’am. Welcome to Moonlight Delight? How may I serve you?” You greeted; Your voice was as upbeat and friendly, trying your best not to fumble in front of one of your favorite models.
(1/?)
Dw; There’s more to come from this blurb. Bettle boy would come in the next part and things will get interesting, since both he and s/o has shared history. Which may open old wounds.
You could tag me as JLL anon🫧, if wish. I am the same anon that gave you the Toru and Pucci Hc’s.
Sheesh I’m like fresh out of words here, once again fantastic work here JJL anon. I always knew Mitsuba and Jobin could be a great platonic Yandere pair. I’m feeling every last bit of this post.

i refuse to send these thoughts separately:
who would cas main in league, he wouldnt play isnt an answer the mans gender is at least 25% calling people slurs on mic
okay but what if what if um 🥺👉👈 someone wanted to write a thing but they were super anxious about getting cas’s voice right in part because by the nature of how you share your creative concepts the only solid vibe they get is Doesnt Talk A Lot, When He Does Its 90% Weird Rude Mean Shit, hence the cesare big top burger comparison
and fuckin um i forget if ive ever asked, i mostly process cas’s fuckedupedness through a lens of npd, but am more familar with bpd because my own brain garbage is a bit of both and having had many loved ones with bpd, does cas ever fully freak the fuck out in an insecure attachment way trying to make gortash Go Away or trying to leave himself(but coming back generally), might characterize that Oh No Hes Going To Die leaves forever cant handle loss unless he “choses” it meltdown in a similar menthol eelnessTM vein
i especially love thinking about cas being extremely insecure because reality will never live up to his delusions of self importance perfection and grandeur because fun fact :^) a side affect of those thought patterns is constant disappointment in a reality of self that can never meet those expectations :^^^)
casim “i AM perfect or ill DIE” carnavorn
honestly "Doesnt Talk A Lot, When He Does Its 90% Weird Rude Mean Shit" is pretty on point here😭😭 I used to say like everyone desires him and then he opens his mouth and theyre like "hmmm yeah idk if this one's worth it chief". Like he has no filter at all but it isn't like he doesn't do it on purpose it's more like he goes out of his way to make sure everyone leaves in a worse mood than before, if that makes sense? Gortash would join in though honestly.... type of situation where Gortash tries to introduce them to some noble family on a party and Cas just drops that some poor girl looks like a fat cow (see this is funnier considering that he stands next to Gortash but ain't nobody gonna say that back) 🙏
aside from that though like.... in private? I suppose this may be more of a tone thing and I'm a VERY mid writer so I couldn't even tell you how I'd show this of the top of my head but I suppose he's more... clearly affectionately teasing? because yeah he obviously stays teasing and calls him a fat bastard in private still and such but it's very obvious if you look at them for a second that it's like a far cry from how he treats everyone else (smth smth his gaze very clearly softens and he allows himself to giggle and you can tell that they have been knowing each other for a long time)
okay sorry im YAPPING but ! ....If you want to write something I'd be over the fucking moon either way honestly like??😭 tbh I think you sound like you get him a lot already but also let me just say additionally... I see Cas as a character that's pretty flexible anyways because he erm... he has mood swings but also doesn't really have smth I'd consider a set speech pattern or something that he needs to sound in character?
anyways concerning the npd/bpd thing I never quite drew a line for him or anything to put him more into one camp but. I mean yeah based on the dying of old age scenario... LMFAOO but also yeah he does. Cas is the type of person that will literally leave the city for months or lock himself in and try to "become a new person" (he literally has moment where he's like "maybe I should just become who Bhaal wants me to be. maybe it would be easier") if there's some dispute with Gortash. It usually ends with Gortash forcing him to meet him again and Cas being something along the lines of "oh my fucking god can I just stop loving you already" but yeagh u know the fact that Gortash is kinda the only person he ever liked or even saw as a friend just makes it worse tbh
and the insecurities/delusions thing? yeah exactly what you said. a lot of his insecurities are insane too tbh like "I can never be what everyone desires" but then he loses it if he's NOT what someone desires, Gortash saying smth along the lines of "I like women too" would be enough to make him walk off a ledge because he can't be that part (smth smth I can be most perfect man on the planes but I'll never be a woman. funnier when u know he could use incubus illusion magic but he refused to his whole life). But anyways yeah as I said once Cas is like... a DEEPLY insecure person at his core even if he'd never admit or think that it shows
anyways after this analysis... Cas plays adc and shits on every support he plays with💯 He mains aphelios because he wants to look at a man but also because he thinks he's better than anyone else for playing a complex champ... hope u see my vison

What do you think it would take to legitimately break guda? Not in the way where they will recover within a few hours/minutes like in lost will, but legitimately mentally*break*. The kind where they go ape shit, cutoff their emotions cause it's too much, or become an emotional wreck. Breaking in a way where they are no longer able to function semi-normally as they have been if not become a full on beast of humanity.
i think thats an easy question.
Hmm but ngl canon-wise outright Beast Guda would never happen (or they would die first before it comes to that/or juvenile beast at best??? seal designation is also their next sentence if part 3 happens in the current world where chaldea is persecuted)
... bc they really dont have the ability to give up/cant afford to give up given how bloodstained their hands are at this point, except it did in some way happen in a jp event but thats an event and not canon.
So if it fanon then this is the delusion/scenario in my head:
Killing Mash off in the story.
As in Dr. Roman-dead. No Throne of Heroes allowing them to meet again. No plot armor. Remove all traces of Galahad's elements from Mash to prevent her being fully imprinted into the throne. Turn her simply into the homunculus Marisbury created for his project. Back to the girl who was a successful experiment, unfeeling, cold and innocent. Just an unremarkable thing. Then pull a final curtain call on her.
or just outright kill her without fanfare. +No Throne of Heroes allowing them to meet again. no fou to save her. no grand exit, no final goodbye speech. just a cold and ruthless death.
(Guda already loves a lot, to their friends, to their found family, to the people they meet, says hello and goodbye, saving them as long as theyre able to, as long as they can still think and breathe, theyre a tool to the counter force, two qualifications of becoming a beast fulfilled with "beings oppressed/persecuted by humanity" about to be true if chaldea manages to bring back the real world from CHALDEAS- ah then again theyre already persecuted by the humanity of olympus... )
(theres also where they absorbed all the grief, burdens, feelings, regrets, resentment and curses deep in the trash heap of their subconscious from facing enemies left and right, to the present, the future, and alternate worlds, if left to rot and spread it could also manifest beast guda?)
Mash is one of the people who has been there from the "start"
guda reached out to mash in her last moments in the explosion, held her hand and stayed by her side. to make sure she doesnt die alone and suffering. one offer of a hand was enough to grant a person peace in their last moments. that act of kindness was enough to change a timeline.
guda's kouhai, shield, friend, lover, companion, exclusive servant, a special bond grown by fighting side by side for what feels like almost a decade or more, mash is the servant and the one closest to guda in grand order.
mash is the one who keeps guda from going off the rails, mash is the one person who has bonded with almost the same people as them, so they share the burden and pain. they share the memories of those they loved, those they cherished. mash is literally also one of the few people left to remember dr. roman too
lb6 answers this especially. norwich chapter the most + intense mashguda reunion narrated by a jealous oberon (read: at least to me, where i had my obeguda vision 'on' asdfghjmnbvc) in the trip to the rain clan's ruins haha
so tldr; mashguda went through a lot that their bond is unbreakable, and would kill guda in more ways than one if something were to happen to mash
so dont fuck with mash (this also goes the same for guda even though theyre a little chill about getting betrayed or get practically killed bc they expect it, mash is very protective of her senpai)

Here Goes Nothing
Hi there, Anybody. If anybody even uses Tumblr anymore
I'm going to use this account to blog about my thoughts and broadcast my shitshow of an emotional state. Maybe someone out there will be able to relate; or maybe someone will be entertained; maybe someone will find my words repulsive. Most likely scenario is that I will be typing away into a void. But that's ok, as long as one person is reading this, it's making difference. Even if that one person is me!
It's a thing I'm doing now, journaling and meditating. And I find that I have a lot of conversations in my head that would be great to have with other people. But even if I don't, I much prefer typing to writing.
I'm a very private person. But for some reason, I feel the need to share what I'm going through and how I'm dealing with it. That's probably why I chose this desert of a platform - a part of me is worried about oversharing and making myself vulnerable. If you stick around, you'll be able to piece together that I'm quite paranoid and not trusting. And not in a way that is ever helpful. You'll see
If I had to describe the inside of my head, I would say it's Stranger Things Vecna's feasting ground. I won't go into specifics, at least, not yet. But, don't worry, I've got a pretty solid battle plan in place.
What's my battle plan, you ask? Therapy? Medication? Talking to other humans? Finding a hobby? Hm. Sort of. Yes. But, I'm also trying something quite unconventional...
I'm going to try to communicate with the Archangels in my dreams.
You're right, I have lost it! But not for the reason you think. Well, at least not for the reason I think you think, but I don't know what you're thinking.
Anyways, tune in for my next rambling session on how I plan to do this and how you too can foster your own delusions.
Ok, I'm trying to be funny bc that's how I cope. But in all seriousness, if you're going through a hard time, or maybe you want to feel more connected to the Spiritual world, or maybe you just want company - maybe I can help. And, if you want, maybe you can help me too.

Hello!! I love your combaticons art so much!! And I love hearing your headcanons! So I was wondering if you had any about Onslaught/Blast-Off such as how they got together and the other Combaticons reactions if you don't mind sharing your thoughts?
firstly, thank you for the compliments, Anon! (*⁰▿⁰*) secondly, absolutely do i have headcanons about how my top favorite robot ship could get together and what the rest of the team’s opinions might be about it!!!
some caveats before I share tho: i view the multiple versions of Onslaught and Blast Off across continuities (the continuities that i’ve personally familiar w/ that the Combaticons appear in, anyway) as different enough characters that how i picture them interacting in one series doesn’t always map to their interactions in another series, or to my personal fan continuity.
and since there tends to be no specific canon details to explain how the Combaticons originally met and became a team (were they built together? were they not? did the five of them meet before the war happened or while it was already underway? were they friends or strangers?), there’s breathing room for many possible backstories to run w/. my ideas vary accordingly. o9
G1: one of my headcanons is that they develop an interest in each other over a period of working together, but G1 Onslaught is probably the one who makes the first move. because G1 Blast Off is… he’s a condescending snob. the sort where he’s too proud to not make a potential sailor prove they’re willing to work for the gift of Blast Off’s attention, even if Blast Off secretly reciprocates the feelings being expressed. Onslaught makes a few passes hinting he might be up to a long-term romantic hook-up and Blast Off goes, “hmm… i’m intrigued but i’m hardly going to just give in instantly. impress me. convince me.” meanwhile, Onslaught is a career strategist who has no problem with plotting a plan to do just that. Onslaught’s has plenty of confidence, he’s used to dealing with Blast Off’s less-than-communicative attitude, and he likes coming out on top. the story of two jerks, falling in love!
an opposing alternative G1 idea to this is that their relationship started off as more of a steady pre-war alliance that evolved. they kept operating under a shared delusion that everything between them was 100% casual, no feelings, none, nobody here is going to admit to weakness or anything! right up until one of them nearly dies in a battle and the other is forced to confront the fact they both have. caught feelings.
i’m also partial to another separate true-to-G1-nonsense-logic scenario. in a series of wacky mishaps Blast Off and Onslaught are fake-married on some alien planet for fooling-bureaucracy purposes and don’t remember to have the marriage annulled once the mission is over… which turns into the excuse they use to start dating. hey, Blast Off is calm, reliable, and the teammate that causes Onslaught the least amount of headaches on a good day, why not?
of course, one can also go the opposite direction where G1 On/Off is an ongoing mutual power struggle between the biggest egomaniac on the team (Ons) and the second-biggest egomaniac on the team (Blast Off)! in this headcanon, Blast Off’s only obedient as long as Onslaught demonstrates he’s a good leader and Onslaught’s keen to exercise his authority in showing him that he is.
listen, why would i pick one idea for G1 where i could have dozens of AUs to play in?
the other G1 Combaticons would probably be like: Swindle = doesn’t care unless he can figure out how to make money from it or On/Off squabbling affects him Vortex = free entertainment! free material to needle at! Brawl = if they have a wedding, he wants to cause trouble at it for kicks
Aligned/FOC: I’m drawing from the old FOC games for this. one of the headcanon ideas I came up w/ was an AU where Aligned On/Off were already married before the war and they co-founded the Combaticons as a group of soldiers-for-hire. Blast Off was a disgraced noble and Onslaught was a veteran soldier. they don’t bring it up at work or overtly show it. so it takes a century for the other Combaticons to realize they’re not having a side fling, they’re legally hitched.
picturing Vortex being surprised Onslaught actually bothered to go through the legal channels for something that wasn’t a military matter and surprised Blast Off dropped his stuck-up act long enough to say yes. Onslaught is a little offended Vortex didn’t believe he could be assed to sign some dumb civilian paperwork for commitment. Blast Off is a little offended by Vortex’s comment about him acting superior. Swindle uses this as an opportunity to have a go at Vortex for not noticing, because hey, usually failing to notice the obvious is Brawl’s gig! (Swindle has no room to talk: he only realized it a few decades ahead of Vortex or Brawl.) Brawl and Vortex react to this as expected. a normal day in the workplace.
alternatively: an IDW1-influenced scenario where Aligned Blast Off is wordlessly protective towards and pining after Aligned Onslaught and hasn’t confessed yet and they have a wartime romance has crossed my mind before…
alternatively: poly FOC Combaticons is fun. i do ship the team as poly. in most series.
IDW1: this is the continuity where i am limiting myself to two short answers. to stop myself from talking for pages and pages about IDW1 Onslaught and Blast Off.
the first answer is the one in which canon happens, IDW1 On/Off get together under the storm of unhappy circumstances they do in TAAO, the other Combaticons are supportive and all for it… after years of unaddressed pining and tension, look! finally some steps forward! maybe this will work out w/o anything going horribly wrong! … before it goes horribly wrong and the truth of what went down between Blast Off and Screamer is revealed. the other Combaticons switch to being angry and upset. nobody here would be having a good time, at all.
the second answer is the headcanon one where canon doesn’t happen and the Combaticons avoid the TAAO plot, leaving Onslaught and Blast Off free to sort out their shit on their own terms. and, if somebody can break the news to Onslaught about his second-in-command having a lovesick crush on him, maybe dating can happen. eventually.
TFA: Swindle is the only Combaticon that appears in TFA and none of the others do (and he’s not actually a Combaticon in TFA) but in an AU where they did… i like to picture a story w/ Decepticons Vortex and Blast Off repeatedly running into Autobots Onslaught, Swindle and Brawl, and a cross-faction affair being one of the factors that results in Onslaught and the others defecting to join the Deceptions. (not the only factor, because that would be absurd. Onslaught is ambitious.)
Swindle turns into more of a rogue agent that’s only loosely affiliated w/ them so he can do his part in the TFA plot while idk, Onslaught, Vortex, Brawl, and Blast Off are committing military mercenary crimes in deep space somewhere else.

The TV likes to scream.
Sometimes I like to think it's gone. Or that it's manageable. Or that I've stopped.
But other times, random times, I'll think it.
I'll understand it. But I won't ever realize it fully. Making sense of something I understand is something I dream of achieving.
There's no specific place for it. Other than me, that is.
It likes to chase. It hides away sometimes, becomes manageable, my brain jokes that it's like a job, a routine job that I've been entrusted with.
It scares me sometimes. How stupid it sounds. How insane it sounds.
I understand it's not normal. But. I won't ever realize what it is fully. Making sense and a diagnosis of something I understand is not normal is something I dreamt of achieving.
I've given up, sort of.
Sometimes when I think I've got a lead, I chase it. Try to figure out what chases me.
Could be delusions, could be maladaptive daydreaming, could be anything. I suspect insanity is at play.
I explained it once. To my sister, and our siblings. They weren't paying attention. They asked me to join them on the trampoline. I tried to explain it wouldn't let me.
They weren't paying attention.
I've only mentioned it once before a few days ago, maybe hinted at it a few other times, but the time I truly talked about it was before I had reached eleven.
I think I was seven, but memory lies to me, much like it.
I have a guess where it found me.
I was seven, maybe six. Watching TV in our den.
I felt something was off. It was there.
If it didn't come from the TV, I think it's connected to it.
Or at least, what was in it.
The TV likes to scream.
I can't help but listen.
I should stop. I did once, but it's too late now, it just goes for old memories of stories I've read, shows I've watched.
It embarrasses me, I have to walk through a threshold of a room for a second to reset my embarrassment, it helps but won't fix it. Part of what my brain likes to joke about being a routine. I also go under and out of the covers to restart the scenario, or my feelings on it at least.
Sometimes it scared me when I was younger. Now I just feel shame.
The TV is loud, but I'm used to it.

Base Yandere Snatcher Headcanons: Marriage Contract (A Hat In Time)
[Hello My Sexy Readers, I am here with the FIRST A Hat in time Headcanons I am doing!!! I AM SO EXCITED And yasssssssssssssss for my beloved snatcher!!! (rolls around squealing) okay this is for prep for his scenario that was request so please enjoy!]
-Base Yandere Headcanons With Snatcher-  
.He has been in love before and it only hurt him.
.He had always been a bit odd but he was never as extreme until he died and became what he was always meant to be.
.He had gone insane from this so it was bound to happen him falling in love with someone to the point of obsession.
.And that person was you.
.Snatcher is a ghost and has been hurt by love so he does not need it.
.He thinks it is better to be fear than loved.
.He has been fine with that.
.But that does not mean he does not care.
.He gets mail for his minions.
.Cause he cares about them and wants them to know someone cares.
.That goes for you as well.
.He cares for you deeply even though he will not know it at first.
.Snatcher does not fall in love at first sight.
.In fact he is very much unaware why he is feeling like this.
.It is not how he felt for his past love.
.No it is different.
.He knows one thing he wants to keep you.
.So you know he is not going to let you leave.
.Snatcher will so take your soul of course and he did not know he was going to keep it.
.At first you were just entertaining and fun to mess with
.He is a lot like the thing of if he pulls on your hair he likes you.
.He just does not know it.
.It only gets worse when he does realize his feelings
.He is very much a tsundere yandere type meaning ....
.He is not going to tell you he likes you, no you are just a weak thing why would he like you?
.That is what he tells you at least.
.At first He is a bit of a odd one.
.In the sense he is unsure of his feelings for you and if he is good for you or if he is like his ex.
.He has moments in which he is worried he is hurting you.
.But he quickly squishes that side that he Is NOTHING Like HER
.He actually LOVES You and Would NEVER hurt YOU.
.He may not put you in chains but your soul is still captive to him.
.On his confident side with his insanity it makes him a little delusional
.You have to like him, I mean who would not love him?
.He is funny, charming, handsome, strong, a king and so so so much more!
.In his delusions he will think you are already in love with him.
.If you show him even the slightest bit of affection he will know you want to marry him.
.You show disgust with him? Your clarly playing hard to get, making him work for you.
.You are the quiet type cause you just want to leave? You must be the shy type he just has to keep trying.
.You show him nothing. Well maybe he should be more forward if your oblivious.  
.Bottom line is he is way to confident and thinks there is no way you could not be into him unless your unaware of his feelings.
.Snatcher cares for you and knows what is best for you. That is what his delusions believe at least.
.And what is better for you than being with someone like him?
.No with Just being with HIM and ONLY HIM
.The KING Of the subcon forest.
.A powerful, handsome, charming ghost like him?
.No. No one was better than him not a soul.  
.When he finally officially confesses you know he is going to make a show about it.
.This danger noodle is the go big or go bigger type of guy to tell you he loves you.
.He will be the type to slaughter all his rivals.
.He is not going to take his jealousy out on you.
.No the rival is as good as dead.
.Same to anyone who tries to "help" "save" you from him.
.Clearly they are trying to steal you from him.
.He has to admit they have good taste but you are spoken for
.You are in HIS Forest which means You Belong to HIM AND HIM ALONE.
.Anyways he would take pleasure in killing them. Laughing like a mad man why he does it. Mocking them.
.He may even make you watch.
.No one touches you, your his sweetheart. and HIS ALONE.
.And how he ends telling you he loves you?
.Well gives you a contract of course!
.But this one is special. It is ...
.A MARRIAGE CONTRACT!!!!!
.He is far you will be able to have freedoms.
.You be able to talk to anyone in the forest as long as you do not plot to leave him or be with someone else.
.You will be the co ruler of subcon forest.
.The Draw backs?
.Well you can never leave him.
.And their is no death until you part.
.He will make sure your a ghost like him at the end of your human life.
.You will forever be by his side. No ifs ands or butts.
.Now if you accept his love?
.Well then everything is just peachy and nothing will change you two will live happily ever after and he will shower you with love.
.If you deny his love?
.He will Not kill you.
.But you know DAMN Sure he is not going to be pecking happy
.So he will give you one last chance to sign before he forces you too.
.ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, SWEETHEART, I KNOW YOUR PLAYING HARD TO GET BUT I AM NO LONGER PATIENT! SIGN OR I WILL MAKE YOU AND YOU WON'T LIKE THAT!"
.If you do not sign he legit possess your body and forces you to sign.
.After that he is very angry you forced him to do that.
.So for the next hmmmm decade you will never be out of his sight.
.Always in arms distance.
.You will not be allowed to talk to anyone for that time as well. Only him.
.You will learn to appericate him.
.Thinking of running?
.Fat chance he will let that happen.
.Your just making it worse for yourself and the longer he will punish you.
.Better get on his good side and he might lessen it for good behavior.
.He once he does confess is very touchy feely with you.
.Always showering you with affection.
.He does not even try to hide it.
.Still will make casual threats of murdering your family to keep you in line.
.It is for the best for you.
.You got to know he is not like her. He is so much better and he is keeping you safe and sound.
.Just listen to him you did sign after all.
.In the end you can find yourself falling sleep on his lap while he reads (Your favorite book) for you.
."I love you sweetheart, I promise to be your best husband you ever could have. I will never hurt you like she did me. All you have to do is love me, and everything will be fine. I mean it does not matter I already have your soul! And their is No Death until we part! We Are Married for eternity Sweetcheeks! Happy Anniversary!"
-BONUS-
Snatcher would also stalk you around the forest while you do your chores and keep you away from Vanessa can't let you get hurt.
.Very overprotective
[YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS this was so fun to do, and honestly I could go on forever. But I got other things I need to publish and dont want to make this any longer as it would just be dragging on at that point. Stay sexy all of my friends!]

Genshin Impact - Protecting his s/o from another man (Childe)
notes : here’s part 2 to this headcanon, this time with the one and only tartaglia! i honestly love this man to bits so if anything happens to him i wilL RIOT
personally i don’t like this one as much as my diluc one but i hope it’s okay🥺
Genshin Masterlist
Diluc version is here! Albedo version is here!
warnings : forceful touch (no nsfw)
format : bulleted, scenario
pairings : childe x f!reader
word count : 643
everything under the cut-
Childe:
ohhh boy here we go
we know childe loves every possible opportunity to get into a fight and prove his strength to those around him
and although he’s not a big fan of other men hitting on you all the time
he’s more than happy to, ahem, ‘deal with them’
he’s just a massive show-off
this time was no different from others
you’d decided to go out for a little meal together
and naturally the waiter just haD to be eyeing you up the entire time
barely even acknowledging childe’s presence, only when taking his order did the waiter even look at him
now childe is extremely observant, so he definitely noticed this
but for now he chose to push it side, just wanting to enjoy his time together with you
and for now you didn’t seem to notice yourself
during the whole time you guys were chatting away and laughing together, he could feel eyes burning into the back of his head
have a guess at who that is
when your food was brought over, it was the same ordeal
only addressing you, eyeing you up right in front of him, the list goes on
after this second encounter you noticed yourself, looking over at childe in a slightly disturbed manner – clearly it was beginning to bother you
childe took that as his cue to do something about it
as the waiter was about to return to organise the bill payment, you left the restaurant to wait outside while childe spoke to him
surprise surprise when an entirely new waiter greets childe at the table
turns out our little creep-show had snuck outside to follow you
he tried to start up conversation with you, who clearly wasn’t going along with it
when he noticed you were ignoring him, his hand grabbed your arm to make you face him
too bad for you this guy was a pyro user, who ‘accidentally’ burned your arm in the process
obviously that hurt like a bitch, so you shouted out in pain
next thing you know, childe appears behind the man, holding a water blade to his throat
he pressed it slightly against his throat, just enough to draw blood as a warning
remember this was in the bustling streets of liyue, so quite a few people had taken notice
“now now, where’d that tough guy act go from a moment ago hmmm?”
the man tried looking over to you for some help
but by this point, you were at childe’s side, preparing your own elemental power in your hand
childe spoke again “women aren’t weak and easy you know, especially not mine, so i suggest you walk away and don’t look back”
flames exploded from the ground, engulfing the man
of course before this could harm you, childe pulled you away out of range of the attack
when the flames subsided, the man held a victorious smirk on his face, seeing you alone a distance away, thinking childe was long gone
as he made his way over to you
childe emerge from the shadows, using his electro delusion to stun the man, knocking him unconscious with a small spark
the man was left at the door of the restaurant, not that you guys could care less about what happened to him
you approached childe with a small smile on your face, only growing when he lulled you into his arms for a warm hug and kiss on the forehead
“hey now, even though you could definitely kick his ass, i couldn’t just sit around and do nothing could i?”
“too bad it wasn’t more fun, at least give me a challenge if you’re gonna try and steal my girl”
he wrapped an arm around your waist, guiding you back towards your house, with you wondering how you’d managed to win over someone like him

I feel like I’ve found my kin, I fell in love with Kakashi when I was like 8 LOL. Can I request some general yandere Zoro headcanons btw? I loved/still love him too 😶
Yes you may ahhh!!!! I love Zoro so much. I love writing for fandoms like this bc shounen anime are... Well, shounen, they're aimed at dudes, so they tend to not have as large of a female audience so there's not a lot of content out there. I love Luffy and there's like zero girl-targeted content for him. I swear I've spent so much time looking for wholesome, decent LuNa (my otp im sorry i just hhhh) doujins that aren't super male-oriented, and there's like... 2. For a 900+ episode anime. 2.
I also love the concept of a yandere in a situation where they CAN'T kidnap you, they're limited by their circumstances, so they have to kind of adjust or go insane. It's an interesting dynamic because it eliminates the norm for yanderes.
I think I mentioned this but I'm not 100% caught up with one piece (I mean, who is?), so I'm just keeping it simplistic and going with kinda basic Zoro and nothing with specific character developments or any spoilers other than his backstory
Yandere Roronoa Zoro (One Piece)
Tws: all the usuals -- yandere, noncon, kidnapping
He meets you while he's lost. I'm sorry I just. Zoro gets lost in the middle of some place they're docked, and you're just such a sweetheart, you see this guy clearly not knowing where he's going, and offer to help him. He's kind of taken aback by your softness and sweetness.
He's not easily made aware of his own feelings. He's a rough and tough sort of guy, and he has dedicated himself to swordsmanship so much that he's neglected to focus on himself and his interpersonal relationships, and he's not really self aware at all of his own feelings, very out of touch with his emotions.
Obviously, even if he tries to shove it down, Kuina weighs heavily on his mind in relation to you. He's another man that has known loss and it's dealt its damage on his psyche. He can't lose another person who's dear to him again.
This results in him becoming insanely protective, one of the most protective yans out there. He's easily one led into paranoia delusions regarding your safety. However, he's an honest and reasonable guy and can be level-headed when confronted. If someone (not yourself, as he thinks you're naive, but maybe another girl like Nami or Robin) tells him he's being overprotective and exaggerating about your safety, he may actually have a moment of self-realization and admit to it. He's capable of being reasonable enough to see it once it's pointed out to him. However... this doesn't stop him. He tries, really, he genuinely tells himself that he needs to stop. But his instincts just kind of take over. It's an impulse, to stop you from doing even the most slightly dangerous things.
Once you join the Straw Hat Crew, he just kinda... clings. It's a silent presence, but he's always there, constantly seems to show up wherever you are. Unfortunately, you can't really... get away from him per se. You're kinda limited to one ship, at least as long as you're out on the sea. Your only option for respite is going to your room or bathing, otherwise, he's gonna follow you, even if he's not saying anything and (very badly) trying to feign indifference, pretending you just happen to be going the same way all the time. He doesn't really know what to say, he's not good with these things, and often he's acting without really thinking too much about it. He won't usually strike up a conversation, he just... is there. Watches. May awkwardly ask a question or make a passing comment.
One scenario I imagine is you jokingly picking up one of his swords and wielding it around giggling and he just flips out, takes it from you and yells at you not to do that, are you an idiot? Do you want to trip and fall and have that impale you? Do you realize how easy it would be for you to slice your arm open by accident? It's startling to both you and anyone watching -- even for someone who gets yell-y as easily as him, it seems like an overreaction. He'll apologize but insist it's a safety thing, really.
And he really tries to hide his more... aggressive nature, because he thinks it will drive you away -- he's a blunt, tough guy with a short-fused temper, and he thinks that's definitely not something women like very much. He tries not to yell at you, not get mad so easy, keep his calm better around you, and might even be nicer to others so that you don't think he's mean. And for the most part, he can manage that. Except when it comes to a very specific, very problematic blonde crew member. His little conflicts with Sanji get worse, to even a point that he's snapping at him so frequently that even Sanji himself is a bit bewildered and caught off guard by it. The others notice they fight a lot more often... and Zoro always seems to instigate it, picking quarrels over the littlest things. In reality, he's afraid of the other's... sleazy nature. He can't have you falling for that bastard. He even starts to get jittery when you're in the presence of Franky, Usopp, hell even Luffy of all people. It's noticeable, and everyone kinda worries for him.
He kicks himself for it as soon as he does it, but he finds himself insulting you nonetheless. It's a terrible habit. He gets so awkward and flustered that it's second nature for him to say something snarky or even rude when you talk to him, and he immediately is just mentally screaming at himself for doing so. This will get a bit better with time, though, if you two talk more often.
Now, even if you can fight, you're never gonna really get the opportunity. In battle, he's clinging to you and protecting you at every moment, even if it costs the others some unnecessary wounds. It's highly uncharacteristic of him, and they notice. He won't leave your side, insisting that you're a weak fighter and that he has to take care of you. You just don't get it, you overestimate yourself, you underestimate your enemies, you're a girl. What, Nami and Robin? Well, they've been at this much longer than you, and they had rough upbringings. You're different. You're soft... fragile. You just can't see it. You're lucky he's here to protect your dumbass.
Due to your setup, well, he can't really kidnap you per se. He undoubtedly would if you two were somewhere else, in another life or another setting, but that's not really an option, and even as a yandere, he would never go so far as to kill or abandon his crew. So, he's stuck with just... slowly, slowly mentally deteriorating.
Now, he's not capable of kidnapping, he's not smart enough to really manipulate you into anything (although he WILL tell you that some of the other guys are out to use you), so, he's left to be the guard dog he inevitably becomes to you. If you avoid him, he'll just follow you. If you don't talk to him, that's ok. If you confront him, he'll just insist he has no idea what you're talking about, and you'll start to feel like maybe you're just paranoid. The others... don't really know what to do, to be honest. I can see Nami/Robin potentially confronting him, but in the end, they can't force him to change his behaviors, and they can't afford to lose him. This results in, gradually, everyone slowly kind of accepting your dynamic onboard. They feel bad for you, really, but... in the end, Zoro's just more valuable to the crew. Sorry. They're not gonna get rid of him, but they don't want to get rid of you either.
If you leave? It may just be one of the very very few things that could ever cause him to leave the Strawhats. It would tear him up, really, it goes against his dreams, his pride, his loyalty, but in the end... his loyalty is first and foremost to you. He'll follow you if you leave. It's a bad move on your part, because this gets rid of the only thing standing between you and kidnapping. Which, at that point, surely will happen. Like his other behaviors, he'll feel bad, he'll try and stop himself, tell himself it's wrong, but you'll end up bound in some dark basement nonetheless. He's one to take a very simple approach. Find you alone, sling you up and over his shoulder and carry you off before anyone can come.
Rejection doesn't faze him. No matter what, he'll remain by your side. Even if you never love him in return. It's just his nature, he's a guardian through and through.
In the end, he'll be right there by your side, scaring off any competitors, clinging to you like glue, ever in your presence like a shadow, forever. Whether you want him to or not. He's just an inescapable force, an unmovable object, and you're wasting your time trying to change your fate.
Now, he's very flustered with anything sexual. Highly embarrassed, lots of shame, and doesn't talk much about it. It just kind of happens. He doesn't talk much during, mostly grunts and the occasional fuck when you clamp down, occasionally asking you if you're ok, if it hurts, if it feels good. It's one of the only very soft sides of him. In the end, he really, truly loves you, and doesn't want to hurt you, he wants you to feel good and just love him. It's a very different side to him, one no one else has ever really seen, it's the most vulnerable he himself has ever been with another person.
He feels shame for it, but initially he'll definitely be one to steal your things, sit outside of your room at night, listening to you through the wall, try and get glimpses of you bathing or dressing. He really, really feels guilty, and he's one that will, once you're comfortably restrained and never going anywhere, just sit down and list out every nasty little thing he's ever done regarding you, just to get it off his chest. He understands if you react badly, and he'll apologize, which is a bit ironic considering how much worse kidnapping you is.
He'll apologize for that, too. He's actually one to do so a lot. He's normally a proud guy, but with this? He knows it's wrong, he knows it's fucked up. He knows he can't stop. And he'll be sorry to the moon and back. Just never sorry enough to stop.
He's actually a pretty vanilla guy. Hand-holding missionary type. And, despite being so embarrassed over it all, oddly romantic about it. It's one of the only things he's ever soft and gentle about, it's almost unbelievable to you that he's capable of being so gentle and slow with anything. But he'll kiss your forehead, really take his time with it all, make you cum on his fingers before ever actually fucking you. Hold your hand, look into your eyes. It would be honestly incredibly sweet if it weren't... you know, taking place in some dark sealed off room after dragging you there against your will.
If he's particularly mad, he can get rougher, but he'll apologize after. It's a lot of harsh grabbing, biting, it leaves bruises that he'll rub over softly, whispering an apology, even if a little part of him likes the way it looks on you.

Hi! First of all I want to thank everyone for the support you have given me so far🥰. I really, really appreciate it! Here is my next post. Hopefully you like it.
Tw: Yandere themes, unhealthy mindset, unhealthy relationship, possessiveness, obsessiveness, delusions, paranoia, manipulation, bipolar behavior, violence, guilt-tripping, manipulation, sabotage, blackmailing, threatening, bribing, mentions of kidnapping, mentions of killing
Yandere Trancy Manor Hc’s
Alois Trancy
Tumblr media
👅This one’s really a handful to take in. He’s pretty bipolar and that effects his Yandere behavior as well. Depending on his mood he can have less worse traits or worse ones. Let’s start with the “better” traits which are delusional, clingy, lovestruck, obsessive and desperate. In his mind the both of you were made for each other so it’s only natural that he wants to know everything about you. Extremely clingy, wherever his s/o is he’ll be there as well and he wants, no, he NEEDS your attention and love even more than Claude’s! This boy cherishes you so much. Extremely touchstarved.
👅The worse traits from him are possessive, manipulative, cruel and some tendencies to the sadistic type. He lost his little brother and won’t lose his darling too, no matter what he has to do! Manipulative as fuck, he fooled everyone with his acts when his “father” died and will use his horrific past on the s/o as well. The thing is, I think he would be more than hesitant to hurt his darling. He doesn’t care about hurting other people, but with the s/o he’s more careful. But when he’s angered enough he might loose it and hurt the s/o and insult them without really realizing what he does until he snaps out of it and as soon as he realized what he’s done he’s heartbroken. Also a very cruel type, but mostly only with the people who are in his relationships’s way with the s/o.
👅Possessive and clingy is a frightening mix. Do everyone the favor and don’t look at anybody else except him. He already punishes his servants when they take your attention away from him, but if it’s another person they’re dead. If someone even takes his darling’s attention away from him for one second he’ll throw a tantrum right then and there. After this he’ll act like the brat he is, even towards you, but one simple hug or a gentle kiss on the cheek from you and he’ll melt and goes back to treating you like a queen/king.
👅Alois is ready to kill everyone who comes in his way. Most of the time he orders Claude to do it, but if someone made you cry, harmed you or confessed to you is when the boy shows his true cruelty. First of all he’ll order Claude to take that person to a secure place where only he has access to. Then he’ll tell them in detail what is going to happen to them with a crazed look in his eyes, which is already enough to make someone never go near the s/o again. After that the torture starts and I can guarantee that everyone begs him to just kill them after merely 30 minutes, but days or even weeks might pass before that guy kills the person. Even hell will seem harmless compared to this.
👅Alois will kidnap his darling really quickly given his paranoia. But he makes sure that everything is towards their liking, there’s nothing he doesn’t know about them. If they try to escape him he’ll chain them up to the bed, but will still spoil them.
👅Uff...This is hard to say. If we go by his worse traits and by how he treats the s/o sometimes and the people around his darling he’s one of the really dangerous ones. But if we go with the better traits and how he treats you most of the time he’s in a dark dark green zone. He spoils you to the rotten and if he accidentally hurts you this boy starts crying, going on his knees and begging you for forgiveness. For the next few days he’ll smoother you in even more affection, hugs and kisses than he already does. I think it’s up to you to judge if he’s a better or worse one.
Claude Faustus
Tumblr media
🕷He’s a demon so naturally possessive over the s/o, never letting them leave his side for more than a few seconds. Also the aware type, just like Sebastian he might not know human feelings that well, but he is sure that they aren’t supposed to be so passionate. He’s a manipulative one, using lies to slowly trap his darling in his web without them noticing.
🕷Also a clingy one, I already mentioned it in Sebastian’s Hc, it’s rare for demons to find true love and he never knew what joy he could feel from simply being near his darling. Also an obsessive one he loves everything about you what makes him a touchy one as well.
🕷Possessive and clingy ones are always easily jealous, same goes for Claude. He just found his mate, do you seriously expect to just watch when they’re having fun with someone else?! Na-ah, not happening. His reaction would be similar to Sebastian he would most likely let some part of his demon form appear for a few seconds to scare the other person away.
🕷If someone even dares to touch his s/o’s skin he makes sure to make their death as agonizing as possible. He won’t let anyone take his darling away from him and is willing to crush everyone who tries it. But just like Sebastian he is careful with his killing because the last thing he wants to happen is that this little brat called Alois finds out about you.
🕷Claude will kidnap his darling very quickly given his possessiveness. He doesn’t even think about asking them to work as a maid because Alois is already really cruel to the demon servants so thinking about what harm he might cause a human servant...Yeah, no chance that he’ll let his s/o anywhere near that brat. He’ll search for a nice and cozy cottage somewhere isolated and makes sure that his darling can’t escape from there.
🕷Compared to his master he’s a better Yandere. He just wishes to spoil the s/o and he’ll bring you everyday a new gift. Books, sweets, dresses/suits, whatever you wish for. This guy helps you with everything and will insist on dressing you. He wants you to rely on him and if you act up he’ll be more strict with you, but overall such a gentleman.
Hannah Annafellows
Tumblr media
🟣She’s a demon so she’s a possessive one. She’s also obsessed with her darling, loving their hair, scent, skin, laughter, everything about them is addicting to her. She’s a manipulative one and will ensure that everyone the s/o is close to will somehow end up leaving them. And who’s during such times your shoulder to cry on? Hannah! She makes sure that her s/o relies on her and only trusts her.
🟣Hannah is also the lovestruck and overprotective Yandere. She always makes sure that her darling is being watched by her or the triplets so nothing bad happens to them. No words can describe how much she adores and loves her darling. And just for you she’s a really soft one. But don’t get too comfy with her because if you anger her enough she’ll punish you.
🟣Hannah has different from the other demons here just a bit more patience with people, mostly because she knows that they’ll leave the s/o very soon for some “unknown” reasons and that her darling will then run crying to her, needing her hugs and comforts. With these thoughts in her mind, you in her arms and clinging onto her for dear life, she can hold out for some time.
🟣She won’t kill unless given a good reason to. If someone for example takes a liking towards her darling and ignores Hannah’s warning that person is dead. Same goes for people who made you cry and hurt you, even if it’s just a small scratch, that person will be dead within the same day.
🟣She won’t kidnap her s/o unless something bad happens. Most likely scenarios are if she confesses to them and they reject her, they find out about her behavior towards others around them, you distance yourself from her or you’re getting seriously harmed. But as soon as she does her s/o has no chance to escape her with not only her, but the triplets watching over her as well.
🟣I believe that Hannah can be a better Yandere, but only if you behave well. She has some kind of reward system which means the better you behave the more she’s willing to let you out and grand you your wishes. If you don’t behave or try to escape she’ll punish you, but I believe that her punishments are more mentally than physically. That doesn’t really make it better since she’s a demon. She’ll probably let you imagine your worst nightmares and then you’ll run like a frightened bunny to her and beg and cry for her help which she’ll gladly give you, making you see her as your hero and savior which is exactly what she wants. But overall a soft and caring woman.
Timber, Thompson & Canterbury
Tumblr media
🤫Since they’re really discreet they prove a little challenge, but I really like them and want to give it a try. All demons are possessive, no exception with these guys. Since they’re so quiet I think they are stalkers as well. At least one of them is ALWAYS observing you from the distance.
🤫Obsessed with their darling in every sense possible. They’re the types to steal things from the s/o and since they are 3 of them they steal a looot of things from their darling. Books, toothbrushes, clothes, underwear... Also the lovestruck types, always imagining how wonderful it would be to have their darling near them. When they are near the s/o then they are incredibly touchy with them.
🤫They know who you meet during the day since they’re always watching! The one who watched you that day will report everything to his brothers and they’ll decide together if that person should be killed or not. Nearly 97% of the time they go with the first option since they can’t stand the thought of someone else being near their darling.
🤫As mentioned above, they hate the thought of someone else near the s/o. It’s already bad enough to have one demon wanting to kill you, but 3?! That’s the worst situation someone could ever ask for. They’re the quiet but deadly types, but I can imagine that the triplets will toy with the victim at first, making fun of them before cornering that person and killing them.
🤫The brothers make sure to kidnap you very soon because at one point just watching didn’t satisfy them anymore. They’ll most likely have a fight about who gets to kidnap you before deciding that they’ll all go together. Isn’t just the thought of having 3 lovesick demons hunting you down wonderful? You’re never going to see anything except the small house in which they keep you again. Escaping isn’t an option too because one of them is always with the darling. Now they only need to find out how to share the s/o.
🤫They’re in the middle, meaning they’re not the worst and not the best. They always argue about who gets to take you on a short walk outside, who gets to help you dress up, who gets to help you with a bath, honestly it’s more frustrating. Punishments are only given when you try to escape or resist their affection towards you and consist of locking you in a dark room with only one meal per day. Probably doesn’t sound that bad, but when you’re about to sleep they silently hide somewhere in the dark and use their demonic powers to give you terrible nightmares and at some point you’re going to be too scared to sleep. That’s when they let you out again and the next few weeks or even months, depending on how far they went, you won’t be able to sleep without at least one of them with you in the bed, cuddling you satisfied and happily in his arms. But most of the time they’re your loyal servants, you won’t have to lift a finger just let them do anything. ( The triplets turned out longer than wanted, but as mentioned above I really like them and just the fact that they’re 3 makes the whole situation even more interesting. From the whole Trancy household they’re definitely my favorites.)

Motherland Fort Salem 2x08
THINGS I LIKED:
The tension between Abigail & Scylla (and Scylla & Tally, too) and the way things... soften, at the end. The genuine “thanks” from Abigail, the genuine “you’re welcome” from Scylla, who for ONCE is not being all snarky about it... growth! we love to see it! 
Raelle’s breakdown about what her mom did. I’m still kind of confused that they chose to kill Willa, because that’s the kind of confrontation I was expecting, but at least she said all the things I wanted her to say. 
Abigail taking off her army medallion... YES. Petra going against Alder... ALSO YES. 
Best unit hug methinks. Tally kissed both of their heads! My girls!
Most homoerotic scene award goes to Tally/Alder. Incredible work everyone, I really thought i was about to experience Tally’s Forbidden Fantasy: Getting Called To The General’s Office Late At Night.
Tally exiting the House of Lesbian Drama was so funny, she really left Abigail, Raelle and Scylla to sort things out and make out up on their own. Setting healthy boundaries I see, good for her. 
That Nicte & Tally switcheroo twist! It got me folks! I loved it!
THINGS I LIKED LESS:
There was a lot of good stuff on the Raelle/Scylla side of things, some delicious tension on both parts, so many yearning looks. I loved how hesitant they both were, how tentative. I loved Scylla’s firmness when it came to caring for Raelle, and Raelle softly vouching for her. but... I have to confess, the kiss was too soon for me. Don’t get me wrong, I get what they were going for - Raelle is freshly traumatized, lost her mom, reunited with Scylla, and all that is bound to make her want to act on her impulses and kiss the girl before they’re separated again for who knows how long. I’m not like, mad about it, but that sure was not my ideal scenario for them. 
Honestly the army makes no sense, and it’s getting a bit irritating. You’re telling me they sent 3 cadets, one Spree agent (HOW did they fucking convince the army to let Scylla come??) and like, 3 experienced soldiers, to capture and/or eliminate such a dangerous target? Knowing the kind of works the Spree use??? My suspension of disbelief was at max capacity. 
Which, incidentally, made it harder for me to care about the girls and their delusions because the whole time I was yelling at my screen “YOU WERE TOLD ABOUT THIS! WHY DID YOU TAKE ZERO PRECAUTIONS??” and I don’t want to victim blame my girls, okay. That’s not who I am. 
The slap was. Not it.

snezhnaya does not believe in broken hearts > childe
Tumblr media
→ pov: there is no pov i’m in love with another fictional man. I’m a little rusty writing wise because of school, but someone said childe enemies to lovers and who i am i to say no to that 🥴 so, here’s his boss battle with a ✨twist✨
→ ib: this comic on twt, pls go support it i love it and cry whenever someone mentions it. also, like the comic, childe’s delusion form won’t have a mask just so it’s easier to write his expressions!
→ *there are a good amount of lines that are taken directly from his battle in the game, so beware of detailed spoilers!
Tumblr media
You can trust him. But, don’t get too involved. The battle he pursues is dangerous; it’s not something a normal person can withstand.
Whether you realised it or not, every moment you had spent with him began to carve out a hole in your chest, bittersweetly wearing away every layer of protection you had unconsciously built up. It wasn’t a well-done job by any means; the edges it left were particularly jagged, but the softness Childe still managed to pull from them left you stunned every time it chose to peek its head out.
“Don’t be so on edge, we’re friends, aren’t we?”
It suddenly became a daily routine to expect him at some point, whether it entailed him coming upon you doing a commission in the middle of the mountains, or you crossing paths in Liyue while some type of street food balanced precariously in his grip.
Yet, what you failed to notice was that most times, he would take care to place another of the same delicacy into your hand, as if expecting to see you. Childe would meet you in the middle of the mountains not by chance, but rather by a sense of curious boredom, wherein your company was the only suitable way to pass the time.
Subsequently, the only question remaining in a scenario such as this, was what the other meant to each of them — were you truly able to push your obligations aside, or were you only getting close enough to have enough leverage to strike?
On any occasion a disarming laugh left his mouth, or he lent you his support without question, you failed to remember that you were pitched as enemies in the first place. You inevitably no longer felt the same wariness towards the harbinger over time, but it only made you that much more guilty to know just how easily you had begun to trust him.
Yet no matter the hopeful sentiments your sputtering heart provided you, you knew one thing to be true that would always remain so: you would never be on the same side.
“You’ve already fulfilled your task as guide, so why do you still linger here? Haven’t you already seen enough trouble for today?”
You had entered the Golden House apprehensively, perhaps hoping even over the Exuvia’s safety that you wouldn’t meet him there. But coming upon it and hearing the one voice you had been dreading, you begrudgingly came to terms with the fact that you would have to face reality eventually.
“Huh?” Paimon is startled by the sudden disembodied voice. “Who’s there?!”
Childe reveals himself by coming up the stairs you had just now ascended, his saunter maddeningly casual. “If you were Fatui, I imagine that you would be entitled to a generous reward from the Tsaritsa yourself.”
The way he tilts his head with such fake amiability grates across you like nails on a chalkboard. “But now you’re nothing but dross -- and you’re in my way.”
“It looks like I was just in time, then.”
Childe laughs. “Although I’m deeply grateful to you for helping me so effortlessly find this secret location… don’t you think that trying to stop me now would only be a wasted effort?”
“Stopping the mora mints, hiding away the Exuvia,” He laughs again, and your hand instinctively makes a small stretch for your weapon. “And sending you. The Qixing are really pulling out all the stops this time.”
“So you were planning to take the gnosis all along?” You ask flatly, your words swallowed by your own hesitation just after you’d barely gotten out the last word. Even though this mishap wasn’t very detectable, shame burns the back of your throat at the honesty of the reflex.
“As one of the Eleven Fatui Harbingers, it’s my duty to see the will of the Tsaritsa fulfilled. And she will get which she desires.”
You shake your head, fully grounding your hand and preparing to draw your sword. “Not if I don’t allow you to get near the Exuvia.”
“I’m not looking for your blessing, ___.” Childe narrows his eyes and takes note of this action, the implications of it drawing up a wanton sense of disappointment he had long been expecting. This varies little from your own dismay, unbeknownst to him. “There’s nothing you could do to stop me anyways.”
“The time for discussion and diplomacy has already long passed. I mean, if it were up to me, I would have skipped that stage to begin with… but, I’m willing to do as the Tsaritsa deems fit.”
“Either way,” An eyebrow arches as an equally intrigued smile pulls at the corner of his lips. “It seems we’re now coming upon my favourite part --  a simple pleasure, and one that I am oh-so delighted to be sharing with you.”
it’s as if a pin drops, and he grins. “The battle.”
You now stand at a fork. Two paths stare at you with expectant eyes, both equally enticing; but the drawbacks of the indulgent solution unfortunately long outweigh those of their obvious counterpart. It’s a decision that must be made on behalf of Liyue, not the hurt of a single heart.
Paimon scoffs, drawing you from your thoughts. “So you’re the type that goes looking for trouble, huh?”
Childe’s laughter rings out, and he throws his head back as if he had heard something particularly funny. “I guess you could say that!”
“When Signora offended the deities outside of the cathedral in Mondstadt, she swiftly left the scene once her mission was accomplished. Instead of confronting you directly, she chose to rely on the snow and ice to make an escape.”
“I would take that as far more than its face value. When she faces a worthy opponent, she will prioritise her mission, weigh the outcomes, and consider the consequences of her actions…” He explains, trailing off with an inexplicable smile. “But as for me, the greatest pleasure of being a harbinger lies in the opportunities I have to cross blades with such opponents.”
“That doesn’t mean we’ll let what happened in Mondstadt ever happen again.”
“Oh? So you do intend to fight me? Good.” Childe’s excitement baffles you and pumps adrenaline into your veins simultaneously. “I won’t kill you, ___, I’ll just play along. To feel the thrill of battle!”
“Besides,” He puts his hands out in an aimless gesture. “You could never defeat me, not even in your wildest dreams. But hey, try to relish in the fight anyways, because if you ask me… without that, what else is there?”
“I could never defeat you?!” His words get the better of you and you laugh in disbelief. “You’re completely delusional.”
He returns the laugh delightedly, igniting a fire of mixed emotions in your chest. “Fighting talk, I love it! Now, let’s see you live up to it.”
You draw your sword at the drop of his last word, taking a step back in preparation for what was to come. Childe, meanwhile, stands watching you with a brewing sensation of glee.
“This chance isn’t easy to come by, so show me all you’ve got.” Arrows infused with water begin to fly in your direction, though you avoid them in haste. “So very few ever get the chance to square off with a Fatui Harbinger, so come now, amuse me. And don’t you dare disappoint.”
You find yourself gritting your teeth at the arrogant words, taken aback at his challenging tone. “You say your colleague has found me praiseworthy, but tell me to only amuse you? That’s a disappointing downgrade.”
A lapse in the time Childe has to shoot gives you enough time to approach him, throwing out a strike of your sword that he catches with his own weapon moulded by water.
“It’s by no means an insult, ___, I’m merely proposing a challenge.” He looks at the way your blades grit against each other and grins. “And it seems you’ve accepted it.” You jump back with the force of his attack to propel yourself. A barrage of geo-aligned magic is summoned beneath your opponent with a stomp to the marble floor.
However, he sidesteps it in a similar fashion, and through a quick exchange of harsh blows, both of you stand back to scope things out. Still, the one aspect that continues to overshadow the rest of your thoughts is the way that Childe’s personality has changed under the scrutiny of battle.
The playful tone he normally sports is long gone, now replaced with a deeper and more realistic one; perhaps even slightly more menacing. It’s as if he’s been flipped into a completely different person.
He laughs maniacally as he uses his hydro vision to drive waves of water out towards you, fully intent on at least knocking you off your feet. The burst of elemental energy ends when Childe leaps back onto the ground. This gives you the leverage you need to go in with another geo attack, this time catching him off guard and launching him to the side.
Childe coughs at the force of the action, his lips curving up into a smile. “Good! No wonder signora was so wary of you.”
His body is encased in an impenetrable bubble of water in an instant, a flash of deep light lashing out from the centre before revealing Childe once again. His swords of water have since been infused by electro energy, and his clothes are darker -- the most noticeable difference, however, is the Fatui mask that had previously been slung over his hair now laid properly over his face.
“Well, that just means I can go all out! Brace yourself, this is about to get tough…” He takes a few preliminary steps. “Show me what you can do against the might of a Harbinger!”
The strikes do indeed get faster. Childe toughens up against seemingly every one of your attacks, dodging most if not all of with even more ease than before. you grit your teeth as you rush to keep up with the frequent blows thrown at you. But, in a panic and reflexive drawback, you retract your sword and desperately block with your arm instead.
Silence entraps the incredibly large room as your sword clatters noisily to the floor. Both the cloth running up the expanse of your arm and wrist piece are slashed considerably, all to reveal a shallow but long gash.
The sensation of electro wastes little time in taking effect, burning up your arm and inducing an inevitable cry of pain as both of you take a step back. Malleable emotion hangs in the heavy atmosphere, waiting to be addressed or otherwise plucked down from their higher place.
Though, his reaction in that split second shows that he might not be just as lost as you’d thought.
Childe has little courage to speak up on any of these topics, but in whatever way he chooses to ignore the berating voice in his head, he can’t push away the sensation of regret swimming in his chest. Watching your face briefly contort in pain you try so hard to hide, yet standing close and being unable to do anything about it -- it’s more real than any understating word his brain could ever feed him.
“What are you doing just standing there?” You suddenly taunt, your voice slightly hoarse as you turn to hide the blood that seeps into your clothing. “I thought you said that you were going to go all out.”
Childe knows that you're right. He had said that, but what would it mean for him to continue? Brawling with you brought the same drunkening high of adrenaline he’s been chasing since he escaped from the abyss all those years ago-- although hurting you wasn’t any sort of intention he’d ever had.
“...I’m only offering a moment to buffer, but I must say -- you’re not bad. Your swordsmanship is quite impressive.” Childe desperately swallows back anything extra that pops into his head and twirls his electrified staff. Personal desires are the last thing he can afford to pay attention to. “But, that’s about as far as you’ll get.”
You sloppily intercept a rough attack that threatens to send you flying backwards, gritting your teeth as you push back with the force of your Anemo power. It goes well for all but the way your arm begins to falter under the stress. Your head naturally follows your body’s trajectory, yet in your panic, the stroke your toed boot makes across the floor leaves a trail of blistering geo behind.
The elements present react immediately, resulting in a blinding explosion. You’re thrown off too quickly and land unsteadily, pain shooting up your arm as you exhale shakily -- you’d never had the misfortune of experiencing a hydro and electro vision working together before now.
“___, are you okay?” Paimon asks frantically, your tiny hands trying their best to locate the heart of the wound on your injured arm. “That cut looks deep, do you really think it’s a good idea to keep pushing yourself?”
You shake your head in dismissal as your eyes move with the clearing dust. “It’s fine, but my sword--?”
Once the haze disperses, you spot your sword almost instantly -- however, you also find Childe’s staff sticking haphazardly into the marble floor right next to it, its owner nowhere to be found.
A laugh sounds from behind you. “I really didn’t think you had that card hidden up your sleeve!”
Your heart drops into your stomach when you whip around to see Childe standing beside Rex Lapis’ corpse, his grin wide like he’d already won the match between you.
“You were just playing us to get close to the Exuvia!”
“Oh, quiet down. Don’t be so quick to judge. You’ve seen this world, you of all people should know...” Childe steadily gathers a ball of electro energy in his palm, the lightning fusing around his gloved hand before materialising. “That this should have been expected!”
The sound is deafening as Childe forces his hand into the Exuvia, opposing elements colliding and responding in turn. “I’ll be taking Morax’s gnosis now!”
Shockwaves come out like tides as the entire room shakes under the pressure of the single action. You’re quick to shield your injured arm from the battering wind, while Paimon latches onto the ornament covering your elbow.
Yet, much to everyone’s surprise, the hand that emerges and unfolds under the glaring light is very much empty.
Childe is taken aback by the particles of light that float from his gloved hand, laughing in frustration as well as bewilderment. “I see. Well, this is most unexpected.”
He turns to look at you through his mask, taking in the equally as surprised expression that moulds your features. But the detail that begins to surface ignites a different, and entirely real type of irritation in him, is the way that your eyes begin to change.
“Morax’s gnosis is far from another old antique,” Ningguang had prefaced this when you had visited her in the Jade Chamber, her words stable and forward. “It is a sign of Liyue’s reigning power, and also a symbol for the people to look towards; as not only a god, but also the keeper of peace. This is not something that would be hidden carelessly.”
“Many people throughout my years as a Qixing have tried to outsmart the layers close to the gnosis, however, none have succeeded. Its protector is someone of utmost secrecy whose identity I must not reveal, not even to you.”
She had sighed, placing a warm yet distant smile on her face. “But, I believe this method will continue to deter unwanted hands, along with you in their capable stead.”
Your eyes widen as you take an instinctual step back. You’d found it nearly impossible when tasked with feeding the Harbinger outdated details, though your heart feels heavy in realising that it had gone to show how much Childe truly did learn to trust you.
But, it had worked, hadn’t it? Because of this, the exuvia was somewhere far away -- in capable hands, as Ningguang had phrased it. Yet you feel little want to celebrate this small victory, immediately reminded of the situation it’s caused as Childe’s vision flares up around him, warping his figure in your eyes.
“You… You beat me to it, didn’t you?” Childe doesn’t miss your sense of victory being quickly replaced by fear, but in a fit of irritation, he takes no time in disregarding it.
He leaps haphazardly into the centre of the room, forcing you to careen out of the way as his electro vision fries the air around you. It becomes stuffy and unbearably hot in the enclosed space entirely too quickly. But, throughout the sudden drastic change in their atmosphere, you can’t help but notice the second transformation that Childe has gone through; yet rather this time, it’s much more drastic.
Once the air dissipates, Childe leaps back to the floor once again, his heavy military boots marking his step indefinitely. The attire he wears is fittingly close to armour -- presenting a deep blue and purple suit that fits like a second skin.
“Not a bad trick,” His spear of water that had since been lodged in the marble floor flies into his hand, twirling to rest on his shoulder as his voice stabilises. “But, this is going to cost you!”
The same weapon is pushed into the ground with overflowing destructive power. It quickly runs veins out like web beneath your feet, electro charge roughly and abruptly breaking the floor to reveal another space below.
You're dragged down indiscriminately amongst the falling debris, roughly colliding with the sharp edges before hitting the ground once again. Your arm, still slightly bleeding and swollen, screams at the harsh impact. Though having landed on your stomach meant that other parts of your body had absorbed most of the shock, natural reflexes had forced you to receive some of the heavier damage in your arm regardless.
There wasn’t a lot that you could do about this, however, other than pick yourself up again and hope that Childe was still too high up to see your pain clearly. Thankfully, lo and behold, a purple light just then begins to descend almost hauntingly through the smoke. It blinks out briefly before revealing Childe again as every messy part of the room is blown away by an incredible elemental power.
You hold up your uninjured arm to combat against the strong wind, wincing as your body is forced back.
“You got to the gnosis ahead of me, didn’t you?” Childe’s staff finally rests in his hand, however, the aura he gives off alone is enough to make you antsy. “Did you simply move faster? Or… did you leak the information regarding the Golden House to me on purpose?”
“...You’ve outsmarted me, ___. But that doesn’t mean the information won’t be in my hands by the time we’re done.” Another electric current fills the room as he moves to make an attack. “So, fight hard knowing there's something of such value on the line.”
Your eyes flicker around the room for your sword as you say, “How do you know that I have any of the information you need? That’s betting a lot on nothing.”
He laughs, the familiar sound chilling.
“You don’t have to be omnipotent to take a best guess. Besides, I’m confident enough in knowing that you’re smart enough to play me, so a battle between friends to determine that isn’t too much of a stretch, is it?”
You spot the sword and take a hesitant step towards it, attempting to return his words as a distraction. “It’s strange to call me a friend and threaten to put a knife in my chest in the same sentence. I thought you said that you weren’t going to kill me?”
Childe pauses, debating his next words carefully. “...Conditions are ever-changing.”
“If they were going to change so drastically, you should have told me earlier. Maybe then I could’ve figured out how to explain something I don’t know the answer to.”
“Don’t play dumb with me, ___.” His delusion’s deeper tone makes even the most playful of his words sound threatening. You stand your ground, though, knowing that no matter what your apprehension presents, nothing will change the fact that your weapon is only a mere step away.
“I know that you can tell me.”
You know I can? The supposedly comforting statement bounces around in your head, creating a ringing in your ears and a painful drumming against your temples. It’s not that simple, you think. There's little he wouldn’t be able to get from you if gone about the right way, however, as long as the information remained important, it would stay unattainable to even him.
You grit your teeth, feet twisting boldly into a position that’ll make it easier to leap in the direction you need. “I won’t tell you anything,” The leap is short and filled with almost too much strength, but you make up for any shortcomings by turning to block the incredibly close blow Childe had thrust out to stop you.
You push your sword against his with the force of all of your irritation, jaw clenched as your words come out in a single breath. “Because I know that I don’t have anything to say to the person that betrayed me.”
Unsurprisingly, words like those are some of the last that Childe wants to hear at that moment. No amount of guilt tripping or humiliation was typically enough to get to him, however, your simple declaration hits him in a spot that he’s long tried to bury.
Childe scoffs, pretending that he hadn’t blatantly hesitated. “You’re not fit to be here if you’re shaken by the betrayal of someone like me. Take it from me and give up while you’re ahead.”
You’re stunned by Childe’s brutal words for a brief moment, leaving him an important window to more easily knock your weapon away, out of your weakened hands. His blade meets your throat with little hesitation, the cool water stinging against your overheated skin.
Childe’s eyes wander to the way your body turns slightly to protect your injured arm, and disregarding the way his stomach twists, he shakes his head. “What’s wrong, ___? The way you are now won’t be able to defeat me.”
He looks at the way you hesitate and the already putrid feeling in his gut turns rotting. You make no more effort to fight back despite your strength, nor move the weapon lying firmly right over one of your weakest points.
“I might end up killing you if you don’t tell me where the gnosis is.” Childe tries to push you further, but is taken aback when your brows knit as if frustrated. You know very well that he’s someone with bad intentions, yet why do you continue to yearn to see the good in him? To see the carefree person you’d known before today?
You don’t respond, unmoving beneath his heavy gaze for all but the way your hands begin to slowly hover up towards the sword pressuring your neck.
Why can’t you stop?
Your shaking hands take the blade lightly in your grip, the vision-adjacent water searing your battered skin. A droplet of sweat slides down your cheek yet all you can focus on is the way Childe’s eyes instantly delve into panic.
“If you’re going to kill me, you should hurry up and save us both the suffering.”
The sudden powerful statement sounds unreal coming from such a weakened person, blood running down your fingers as you force his sword away.
“What makes you think that your death would cause me any harm?” Childe’s heart thumps wildly beneath his clothes as he lets his weapon be redirectioned, but his brows furrow. “I used you. Do you have yet to realise that?”
“You think I’m so inept that I would believe in someone so fast?” Your fingers go to nestle in the fabric of your skirt, the clothing acting as a temporary shield from the pain. “It was no secret that you weren’t someone to be trusted.”
“Then why lead me here if you’re so confident in yourself? Surely you don’t think that picking a fight with me was a sound idea?”
“You came here yourself. I was never looking to fight.” You mumble truthfully, taking your hand away from your skirt to reveal your palms stained with blood. “...I only said what I did because I don't like hurting those I care about.”
Childe stands paralysed in shock upon hearing such honest words, his mouth opening and closing as he rushes to process their meaning. What could he possibly say to that?
You hadn’t left a single mark on him despite believing that you were fighting for your life, whereas he had prioritised outside matters over listening to his internal backlash -- he had hurt you in a simple twisted warning.
“___, you--”
He’s barely able to get a sentence out before you sigh, going up to him with little hope before wrapping your arms around him.
Childe exhales unsteadily, his weapons then evaporating as his torso and arms instinctively straighten up. Moments of complete stillness go by unhindered. But, you wait patiently for any type of response from the man in your arms.
“...___.” He finally mumbles this from above your head, voice incredibly soft. “What do you think you’re doing?”
You’re at a loss as for how to respond, because truthfully -- the answer is mostly lost even to you. All you can do is drown in the silence that you’ve created, heart picking out the worst parts of the way his posture stays tense.
Childe groans abruptly, his delusion slowly beginning to break down to reveal his normal clothes. “Come on,”
As if something restricting him had suddenly been removed, he staggers and sinks to his knees, body going limp at the sudden lapse in support of his vision. Though fortunately, you follow him even while he goes down.
Your arms struggle to support the sudden weight as his chin lulls forward, colliding with your shoulder just as your knees hit the floor. He’s not entirely weak, you think, noticing the way he purposely tries to shift a lot of pressure off of you. Though you don’t know much about his delusion, it seems viable to assume that the form had just exhausted a decent amount of energy.
You feel the heat of his hands hesitantly coming upon your sides, but much to your disappointment, they quickly retract before he mumbles, “You’re a fool.”
“I know.” You whisper. “But, it’s too late. I can’t give up on you now.”
Childe scoffs, the sound muffled by your shoulder as he brings his arms up around you. He embraces you so tightly that it’s as if you’ve struck something inside him.
Those words are so unfair, they almost give me hope.

About the line between psychological otherkin and reclaiming nonhumanity in a symbolic way
I have thought about this regarding my kintype a lot, so when this discussion came about I wanted to try to find the words to describe how I feel about this.
I mean. I'm not cisgender, or monogamous, or perisex, or straight, or neurotypical. A lot of those things alienate me from various connections I could have otherwise. Not only that, I'm a Christian mythos adjacent demon and "demonic/satanic influence" is often cited by Christian religious fundamentalists to justify those things being illnesses, failures or otherwise bad.
Also. I do experience some form or maladaptive daydreaming, so it would be really easy for me to project myself into a fantasy and imagine stories about being any sort of nonhuman being, and/or fictional character, as long as they were appealing enough. Although my kintype isn't solely defined by past or present stories, I did notice patterns regarding scenarios or parame ("self insert character" within daydreams) traits that helped me figure out things about my kintype.
Which means that, in theory, me seeing myself as a demon could be seen as some sort of projection based on reclaiming archetypes used in the society I live against people like me.
So. Here are my opinions:
I don't think "can this be explained with normal human things" is a good rule of thumb. Most people don’t share their non-normative thoughts, so it's hard to separate "normal human thing" from "nonhuman only thing". Especially for those who, like me, never had a lot of close friends to talk to.
What I think is more helpful is thinking about how prevalent and "attached" (for the lack of a better word) this identity is.
So, say someone adopts the identity of a changeling, a demon, an orc, a cat, a rabbit, an alien, a Mewtwo, a crystal gem or whatever/whoever else either because of neurodivergence itself (in the case of delusions, for instance) or because of dehumanization and/or isolation.
(And while someone could forge a linktype because of this, since we're mostly talking about being otherkin here, let's say this adoption is or can be seen as unconscious and/or that this process ends or can end up on the kintype not being a choice because it's tied to permanent identities and/or experiences.)
The thing is. Does this person consider themself Other over this? If it's just for jokes, internet nicknames, aesthetics and daydreams the person considers to be separate from their real self, that's probably not an alterhuman experience.
But, if the person deeply sees themself as Other; if the person considers what does it mean to be Other in the way they are and in what ways their life is affected by it; if the person sees their identity as something they were always meant to be and can't just stop if it's inconvenient? I don't think it would be right to consider this roleplaying/wishkin.
And this basically means it's mostly based on what someone thinks about that identity themself; how much they want to explore it and/or how much they think it's tied to their sense of self. Maybe someone can have sort of the same experiences I've had but then came to the conclusion they are not just deep/just part of a mix of finding an archetype cool and projecting onto it in a neurodivergent way.
This is where the "experience over strict definitions" stuff gets relevant, right? I'm not a demon just because of taste in media or shifts, or even because other people could (and already did) call me demon as an insult, but because I need to be aware of the stuff I have to work through for being what I am in a humancentric society, because seeing myself as demonkin makes sense in a way that's deeper than what I'm able to express, and because this is not something that goes away based on trends or interests.
Of course, others can have other reasons as to why/how they are otherkin even though it could, at least in theory, be explained away. And a lot of similar experiences can also be filed under otherlink or othervague instead of otherkin, I suppose. The line can be quite fuzzy, and that's why I find selfdetermination and knowledge about alterhuman labels to be so important.

Heyy, I was wonderin' what happens with Jango ?? I know he comes for Boba on CD and then after that I believe it's implied Boba just does his own thing with where he spends his time and the clones don't really interact with him but someone must want to?
Jango just gets on my nerves so much, 'cus like how absoloutely cruel isn't it to sell practically your own children into slavery/as cannon fodder. Like the clones' lives could have at least been better on Kamino if he wanted to. All the trainers were there because he asked them to be, and before the Jedi show up he kind of has free reign and full authority over most decisions made after they're decanted or as far as their training goes. I just can't see any of the clones being able to see him coming and going or hearing about him living his life without feeling some type of way. Specifically the older clones who remember when he was on Kamino.
Or does Boba atleast do or say anything? He idolised his father but he must've heard or seen how the clones' lives were. Imagine hearing about all the ways your brothers suffered when your dad could've done something to prevent that and him having a sort of glass shatter moment where he sees his dad in a new light and not at least talking to him about it?
Or Arla? Don't know how closely her story follows canon/legends but if at least parts are similar I feel she would have some thoughts about her brothers' clone slave army that are being forced into violence against their will...
If it were me I would've punched him on site lol. Like my guy, in what scenario is clone army the answer? Also Priest? Reau? Davin? Like 95 of the other Cuy'val Dar? I know it's kind of slim pickings but come on! Imagining Jaster showing up because *waves hands* the Force works in mysterious ways and pullling a full "Have you lost your damn mind boy!!"
Theeeeeee unfortunate truth of the matter is I haven't yet figured it out. It'll probably end up moseying its way into my brain when I'm trying to focus on something else, knowing me 😅
Jango made some pretty awful choices, but the human capacity for self-delusion is unending. He managed to create justifications in his mind, to use his grief and anger and the injustices done to him as an excuse to perpetuate the same. And he told himself it was alright because Vode weren't really people, just droids that looked like him. And he managed to force himself to believe that despite the overwhelming availability of evidence, because that's what people do sometimes.
He'll probably show up in Boba's stories, and almost certainly in Arla's, but I'm unlikely to delve too deep into him in what should be their time to develop. At some point I might come back around to him.
Then again, I might not. The whole point of his appearance the one time he did was to show just how much a non-factor he is. The Vode could have used his help, once. He didn't give it, so they found themselves a different way. And now they have no use for him at all. They care about him precisely the same way he cared about them: as a nebulous entity that resulted in Boba. As a situation that is to be tolerated because both sides love Boba. But that's all he is, and if he was to disappear entirely from Vode recounting well, that's reflect that pretty well I think.
So typing through it, I think he might show up in Boba fics, and will probably show up in at least one of the Arla fics, but I don't think I'm going to go into what he does or where he goes afterwards. He's just that unimportant, now. It's about what he deserves.

On the Third Semester and PT Awareness
Over the year, I’ve seen various interpretations concerning the third semester and how “guilty” the Phantom Thieves are in falling prey to Maruki’s reality, and I wanted to throw out my own take and observation on the group. And this observation is based under the assumption that Akira has reached Confidant Rank 10 with every single party member, including Akechi and Sumire.
This isn’t to argue with anyone, and I’m not looking to make any sort of “I’m right; therefore, you’re wrong if you don’t agree” arguments here because at the end of the day, responses to media will always vary, and these characters are all human enough to have a multitude of interpretations. That does not make them badly written, it simply means that we as the audience may have different understandings based on our own personal experiences that impact how we view the characters.
With all that being said, I’ll get right into it. Do I think the PT were “bad friends” to Akira in the third semester? Short answer: It’s complicated, and different friends fulfill different needs. Long answer, below.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Starting with Akechi.
I’m gonna get this out of the way, but worry not, this isn’t an elaborate excuse to gush about their bond even if they’re my favorite characters. Bias aside,  Akira and Akechi have a solid bond where they’ve finally come to rely on each other, and we finally get to see that come into play in this final arc of the game.
In Rank 8, Akechi expresses admiration for Akira’s strength and admits that he’d be relying on him in a pinch.
Tumblr media
And this is exactly what he does when he seeks out Akira as soon as he’s let out of police custody. He notices things are odd and immediately goes to the person he knows he can rely on so that they can figure it out together. It’s painted as a deal, and obviously that appears strictly transactional, but that’s exactly how Akira has operated in his own relationships. He makes deals with his confidants; this is nothing new.
He even admits that he’d have snapped Akira out of the delusion, just like Akira does for all his other friends (albeit in a much less gentle way, but in his defense, he’s not exactly equipped for gently talking someone out of their happiness).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So for better or for worse, Akechi’s here with all the straightforwardness and sharp edges you could expect from someone dragged back from death’s door to deal with yet another manipulative adult trying to control his and his friend’s lives. He isn’t without his sympathetic moments, but for the most part, he’s clearly trying to be the consistent voice of reason when anyone may falter.
One of the most incredible displays of this is 2/2. By this point, all of the PT have been broken out of their trance, and they’re well aware that Maruki is going to confront Akira, especially because Akechi basically goes out of his way to point out that it’s the most likely scenario in their group chat.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though they all know this, they trust Akira to be able to handle this as their leader and to reach out if he needs anything. The problem here is that... Akira isn’t exactly known to do this. By now, they’ve all known him for a year, and they know that he handles most of his shit alone (mostly due to the Protagonist ProblemTM where the protag has to be mostly self-reliant to give the player something to do, but there are also instances of Akira deliberately hiding his pain and trauma from others to ease their minds [his headaches and responses to Shido]).
So why are they making him do it alone? Why isn’t anyone on stand-by? It’s possible they consider Morgana as enough support, so perhaps the thought never crosses their mind. Even Morgana is apprehensive about the whole thing, but doesn’t advise him to contact anyone else.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So who does give him back-up? Akechi. He doesn’t invite himself in, he doesn’t text Akira to let him know he’s just outside in case he needs him, and he doesn’t draw attention to it until Maruki calls him out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He could be here for any number of reasons, and it doesn’t even have to be just one reason. But let’s assume he’s here because he wants to make sure Akira won’t be swayed by Maruki’s words or the temptation of his life without him being present to speak for himself. In both cases, he’s emotionally backing Akira up and going out of his way to help in his own way.
This speaks volumes for his strength of resolve and how far he’s come.
I don’t need to discuss the rest of this interaction because the primary focus is that Akechi demonstrates his friendship by being there for Akira even when his year-long friends weren’t (physically).
But are they bad friends for not doing this?
Not necessarily. Not everyone has this kind of strength and awareness to understand their friends on this level. Akira and Akechi understand each other well because they’re very similar at their core. This isn’t necessarily bias because the game goes out of its way to show and tell us this (hell, Arsene’s and Loki’s silhouettes are strikingly similar!). It makes them inconsiderate perhaps, but it doesn’t mean that they’re overall bad friends.
It’s not completely their fault that they buy Akira’s stoic leader personality. He doesn’t really give them much to work with, and as much as we all want to believe that we’d do better as friends, sometimes you really do think people can handle the problems they say they can and just hope that they’ll come to you when they need you. It’s human.
So rewinding now that I’m done focusing on what Akechi offered as a friend this semester and going back to the PT being under Maruki’s influence.
Each of the thieves offers Akira an apology during their third awakening, and I’m sure many people found this highly unnecessary because as far as we know, they were completely brainwashed by Maruki’s control on the world around them. However, if this were the case, then why would they feel so deeply apologetic? I have a couple theories about this.
One. This would be the second time Akira has to push them out of their own wallowing (the first time in the Velvet Room just before fighting Yaldabaoth), and their resolves back then would appear flimsy to them now having fallen under yet another form of manipulation. Where before they were ready to submit to the hopelessness and sloth, here they’re falling under Maruki’s spell because a strong enough part of them desired things to be different regardless of how far they’d come and how much they’d grown.
Two. Because they were at least partially aware things were odd and willingly chose to ignore it because they didn’t want to confront the truth.

This is said before the third awakenings, right after the group comes to rescue Akira and Akechi and help defeat berserk!Cendrillon. While the group had a conversation about vaguely remembering events that contradict their happy reality prior to this, this confirms that at least Futaba was aware things were odd even before Akira tried to snap her out of it. Whether this is due to her navigation abilities or her awakening having been linked to her desire to never again turn her eyes away from the truth, it’s hard to say. But this is important to note that while they were tempted by Maruki, at least one person in the group was aware that things were odd and willingly chose not to question it.
Can we blame her? Of course not. But it’s still worth pointing out that this situation isn’t so clear as “the PT had absolutely zero idea that they were in an odd situation until Akira tried to wake them from it.”
So what about everyone else? What do they really have to be sorry for?
Morgana apologizes for not holding true to his resolve, and he feels as though he’s let both himself and Akira down in doing so. He also acknowledges that he’s responsible for shoving all his own problems onto Akira and vows to change this.
While he doesn’t seem to admit to any awareness that things were odd before Akira put the idea in his head, it seems like he still holds himself responsible for having had doubts in his resolve that he’d reached with Akira in their rank 10. And these doubts caused him to rely on that false happiness and turn his back on Akira, even if he didn’t mean to.

I think it’s great that he brings attention to this and wants to be more independent. Of course Akira will still be there for him, but it’s not healthy for either of them for Morgana to have put him in this position, and now they can continue growing in their friendship. And so when he promises to protect Akira from here on out, it’s a vow that rings true because he had the strength to confront his own weaknesses, admit to them, and apologize for how they hurt someone he cares deeply about. Sometimes we hurt people we love without meaning to or when we’re caught up in ourselves.
And these characters are teenagers. They’re inherently pretty selfish, which isn’t an evil or bad thing so much as it’s a stage of life that makes it difficult to look outside yourself. Makoto even admits to this in her own apology.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When we’re fans of these characters, our instinct is to say you didn’t do anything wrong; you have nothing to apologize for, but these apologies aren’t coming out of no where, and they’re allowed to reflect and regret what they’ve done even if they didn’t mean to.
And I know I already touched on Futaba’s situation here, but there’s something else in her third awakening that shows her bond with Akira and adds to her guilt. She specifically fears that she’s betrayed him and hurt him greatly, even though he reassures her she hasn’t. Why does this stand out to me? Because all throughout Royal, one of Akira’s consistent fears is the fear of betrayal.

And this shows that Futaba knows him well enough to know this is something that hurts him personally, and she’s worried she did that to him. While the hurt isn’t as severe as she fears, it’s a fair assumption for her to come to after having admitted that she willingly turned away from the truth.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m going to cut the awakenings here because I don’t have much else to add about the entirety of the PT because it could end up redundant, but these were specific examples that show that they do have things to apologize to Akira for, and it’s not a matter of them blaming themselves for being “brainwashed” so much as them apologizing for once again putting Akira in a position where he has to snap them out of their weaknesses after they’ve promised to be there for him.
The overall impression I get from their responsibility in the matter is that to an extent, all of them probably experienced something similar to what Futaba described about having felt something was off initially but ignored/denied it until Akira came to them and really made them confront it out loud. Her sense of it may have been the strongest, but I still think there has to be some degree in each of them, even if faint.
This makes them human, flawed yet sympathetic. They’re allowed to mess up in their friendships, especially since a majority of them have close to no experience with friendship as is. Akechi isn’t the better support here due to his own skills in friendship; he and Akira have a special understanding of one another because they’re extremely similar and aren’t convinced by masks and appearances. And Akechi has been severely manipulated, so he knows damn well that Akira’s gonna need back-up against another manipulative person even if he thinks he can handle it alone. Akechi’s been there and he knows how that goes.
So it’s not necessarily a matter of him being the better friend overall so much as they’re all Akira’s close friends and support him in various ways. And ideally, Akira should have that in his friend group. There are things that the PT can offer that Akechi can’t, and vice versa. But I think it’s more than fair to acknowledge when the PT slip up and have a messy handling of their relationships.
They’re all growing and learning.

hey hera, i'm this anon.
i was rlly desperate for an answer that night and was really spiraling, when i got an answer from you i still didn't fully grasp it but i didn't want to bombard you with questions. however, i really can't stop thinking about it and wanted to reach back out to you. i have a couple questions;
what happens to him when i revise that event? what does he think, etc. if i started saying i was a virgin, would he think i'm delusional? i'm really confused because like you said we can't interfere in other peoples realities but i do know that when we manifest and use eiypo, the person being manifested starts going about things in your favor and thinks it's their idea. so even if its impossible to revise that event and make it completely vanish in his reality, can i at least make him feel guilty, make him feel like he was dreaming, etc. i really just want him to be aware of it. i either want him to forget or feel extremely guilty, because this event has caused me hell.
sorry if this was a handful to read, i know you have asks on asks. thank you for taking time out your day for me 🤍!
If you revise that you’re a virgin then that scenario would have never happened. You can go to the extent of deciding how it goes. For example, your revision could be that he has never felt inclined to approach you in that manner or you could revise never having been in that place at that time when it occurred. If it never happened, then he also knows it never happened. If you say you’re a virgin (assuming he knows this about you) then he’d take it as a fact. It’s not delusion because you are quite literally changing the past (shifting to the reality where it never happened). You don’t need to worry about backups obviously since you CAN revise it, you’re good my love!
