Welcome to wonderland!

Hiya! You can call me Strawberry, welcome to my blog!

I'm a minor, aroace, and I go by he/him or they/them. I made this blog to write various yandere headcanons for the fandoms I'm in, but I might post some original content or a short fanfic here once in a while.

I can write for LaDS (Rafayel and Caleb mostly, but I can try to write for the others too), BG3, Obey Me, and Cult of the Lamb.

Please keep two things in mind when requesting: First of all, I am very much a beginner. This is purely for fun, and I cannot guarantee that everything will make complete and utter sense for the characters, especially if I'm missing information about them. Secondly, I usually take a while to respond to requests! I have school unfortunately, and school is in fact killing this artist, so my inspiration and motivation usually comes in waves and are rather inconsistent.

With that in mind, I'd still love for people to drop a request or two! I genuinely find writing fun when I can get around to it, so ideas are always appreciated!

Damn, it's really been a while since I wrote anything here, huh? Suuuuper sorry to all the people in my inbox who's requests weren't finished (and probably never will be) before school drained my body of motivation to do anything creative- I might update my fandom list since I've long moved on from some of the stuff on there right nooooowww... Still no guarantee that I'll actually write anything, but at least if I try and get a request or two for media I'm CURRENTLY interested in, I'll have a higher chance of doing anything. Besides, I really need to work on my creative hobbies, and art just isn't working right now. It's 1:34 am for me while I write this though, so who knows.

[datesinredink]

Yeah, I'd agree that Raph is definitely the most hinged of the brothers! Of course, he's still unhealthily obsessed, but I think his responsibility to protect people (mainly his family) keeps him.... a BIT more grounded. Not the highest bar for him to pass, though.

On the topic of harming their darlings though, I actually don't think ANY of them particularly care for physically hurting them, and that all four prefer psychological methods instead. Of course, a willing darling would be punished far, far less, varying by how WILLING they are. Though, of the are generally obedient, there's a chance that when they do break a rule, the consequences would end up worse to make sure it really doesn't happen again. A willing darling will get more "privileges" (aka basic human rights) back quicker though, in exchange for their chances to escape before Stockholm sets in (or drugs I guess).

While I have the motivation to write, though, I'll talk a little more about WHY I think they'd be hesitant to actually harm darling!

Raph is a no brainer, and Mikey has so much empathy and love for darling that it keeps him from anything too serious (most of the time, anyway) since it makes him feel bad, but I don't think Leo is gleeful when it comes to hurting darling either.

He'd rather stick to psychological torment, because it makes him feel less bad about it. He might be fine dislocating a shoulder or breaking a few fingers when they break a rule he deems important, but he WILL feel guilty about it later. I think he has moments of clarity at least once or twice a month, and any physical harm he causes you will certainly make him feel like the scum of the earth when those days find him.

Donnie has the easiest time with it, out of the four of them, but I can't say he'd be entirely guilt-free either. He makes rules and follows through with his threats, but more severe punishments will also leave him feeling bad by the end of it. He'll get colder with time as he gets used to it, but the beginning would be pretty rough for him. He'll probably try his best to offer some amount of comfort, despite how awkward it is.

Ranking the yandere rottmnt boys by how likely they are to kidnap their darling

Just a little crumb to keep myself from losing my mind while staring at google docs this late at night. Sorry if this is super bad, it's way later at night than I'm used to staying up and election night stressed me the hell out.

Donnie.

I have absolutely no doubts that he's going to at least try very very hard to kidnap you. And honestly, I doubt it would be too hard. He's a highly trained, mystic wielding, tech inventing, mutant ninja turtle. And on top of that, he's very fond of planning absolutely everything. And to finish it all off, I think it would be once in a blue moon that he actually treats his darling as an equal. He already thinks he's better than almost everyone, and when he gets obsessed, he has to make himself feel better about it somehow, so he decides to cope by thinking you need him instead of it being the other way around. As a result, he treats you a bit like a very glorified songbird, and songbirds.. well, aren't they usually put in cages anyway? You won't even care after a week or two of adjustment! (He will get upset if you aren't content with being kidnapped by then, by the way.)

2. Raph

The only reason Raph is behind Donnie on this list is because I think he would take longer to justify it to himself. He thinks you're fragile, that you need to be protected from the harsh world! I mean, he barely trusts his youngest brother, who is also a highly trained ninja, to do a simple mission on his own. How do you think he'll treat you after the obsession sets in properly? Not really as an equal, I'll tell you that. He's much nicer to you than Donnie would be, but he still doesn't respect you enough to let you handle yourself, even if that's not how he sees his behavior. At the same time though... isn't he supposed to be a hero? Do heroes kidnap their darlings? Or would this make him the dragon... In the end though, he'll decide that he's fine with being the dragon so long as he knows that the rest of the world won't be able to run their metaphorical (or maybe literal, depending on how unpopular you are in the area) pitchforks right through your heart.

3. Mikey

Mikey wouldn't just.. outright kidnap his darling, I think. I think it would start with a fun sleepover at the lair! Then he insists you stay just one more day! You're having so much fun, after all! Don't you wanna hang out with your best friend for a while longer? You agree, of course- him and his brothers have been nothing but nice to you ever since you met them, and their company is always a delight, so it's worth a shot, isn't it? Then suddenly, the weekend is over, and school's ready to chew you up again, so you do leave. Then it's finally the weekend again! You've heard of a fun game from your school friends, so you plan on trying it when you get home this afternoon- it's friday, after all- when you get a text from Mikey in the group chat with his brothers. He wants you to come over again- and, of course, you say "sure". Not like you can't just play the game on sunday, or when you go home saturday. The sleepover flies by, but you're a bit weary by the time you're pretty sure you're supposed to go home- but here's Mikey, and he's so sure that you promised you'd stay at the lair until sunday again! So, you give in. There's always next weekend, right...? I think you get the pattern, but eventually, he'll be keeping you at the lair 24/7, and you'll be rubbing at your weary eyes wondering how you got into this mess. Sometimes you can even see his brothers shoot you worried looks.

4. Leo

Leo would only kidnap his darling as a last resort, and I think it's because of two reasons. One, he's the brother who sees you closest to being an equal (Donnie and Raph constantly go against your personal autonomy and Mikey puts you on an extremely restricting pedestal), though to be fair, that's not a high bar to pass- and two he much prefers to have some sort of interesting conflict to be present because he finds it entertaining. His life is a weird, morally incorrect soap opera at this point, and he's the number one viewer. Kidnapping would only really happen with him if he thought you were either seriously leaving him (moving or getting into a serious relationship with someone else) or if the circumstances around him got too stressful and he needed something to cling to for any semblance of support outside his brothers (who, at that point, would probably also be super stressed). Think post movie, when the city is still recovering. Man, he was probably freaking out thinking that you might've died to the kraang.

[datesinredink]

you asked for requests and I deliver, yan rise turtles with a villain reader?

ANON IM SO SORRY I DISAPPEARED FOR 4 MONTHS I SWEAR I DIDN’T DELETE MY REQUESTS!!!!

I added a little description for some of the stuff the various darlings have/do, so I hope that's fun to read/think about!

I mainly used this as a reference for villain types, to make my life easier. They might not be completely accurate to what I ended up going with, but it was a decent reference.

I feel like i did really bad on this and i will almost certainly regret posting it in the morning but man im way too tired to care rn so here we go. I accidentally wrote a bunch more for leo than i planned but i don’t have the energy to put too much more into the others so it’s just gonna be super unbalanced in content ig.

Donnie

I think Donnie would fall for a villain equal to himself- or at least similar. 

Love for science (not even just tech, though you get huge bonus points if it’s your specialty), logic over feelings, sarcasm, and of course, genius plans are all things that would leave the poor guy smitten.

He’s desperate for literally any chance to talk to you- he’s asking you to tell him what your favorite tv show is, what snacks you like, your favorite games, or toys, or hobbies- if it’s a question that he can ask, he’s going to ask. All of your answers, of course, are being furiously scribbled into a notepad that he keeps in his battle shell, to be either incorporated into his life or for when he starts planning out the rest of your life in captivity.

A lot of your encounters will be instigated by him. Whether or not you actually care about fighting him and his brothers is irrelevant to how often you’ll see him. After a point, he’ll even break into your house at 3:00 am to talk to you, which you will, of course, reject, and he will be promptly forced off your property/out of your home where he will wait on (or as close as he can get to) your doorstep until morning. 

You’ll notice over time that his inventions graduate from generally neutralizing whatever threat you pose this time, to capturing you alive. You aren’t sure what it means, but you’ve got a gut feeling that it’s nothing good. I hope you have a few allies willing to at least try to get you out.

If (more like when) he finally manages to kidnap you, I think you’d have better success than a normal darling with negotiation. You’ve already beaten him and been correct and logical before, so if you can play your cards right, he’ll be more lenient. Not like he’ll stop being super strict, but you’ll be better off than if you weren’t a villain beforehand.

Mess it up though, and he turns up the intensity by 100. If you felt restricted before, I hope you enjoy having absolutely no freedom outside of the schedule and rules. You’re fully restrained to either a metal table or a bed (depending on the time of day) whenever he’s not taking you outside or around the lair for “enrichment”.

Leo

Leo would probably favor a mastermind type villain. Someone who really knows what they're doing, who can manipulate people and set long, grand plans into motion and do it well.

He gets him and his brothers caught in your traps more times than you care to count, but almost always finds a way out at the last minute. After talking way too much for your taste, of course. He hypes you and your plans (which, he couldn't possibly know about, you haven't told a single person, and while he's had a couple close guesses, he hasn't figured them all out yet) up so much that you wish he'd just stick to the spite you're more familiar, and honestly, more comfortable with, from his brothers.

As you sit in front of your screen, contemplating what to do with the blue buffoon currently chained to the coldest wall of your (admittedly, very nice) cellar, you find yourself absentmindedly clicking through the various tabs on the screen in front of you. Emails read, files updated, meetings scheduled…

Leaning back in your chair, you drag your vision across your desk, then the walls (now decorated in an assortment of items that he brought you, calling them “souvenirs” from his other adventures) and finally to the door right across the room from where you sit. It remains the same, no matter how long you hold your mini staring contest with it. It leads to the cellar. It leads right to him.

You turn back around, deciding that maybe a bit of privacy from the strangely ominous door might help you think better. Since you've felt eyes on you recently, you've been extra careful to make sure to hide everything. You make sure to only work when you don't have the awful sense that a visitor isn't trying to eavesdrop on your work. You've got an inkling that your little friend in the cellar who you’ve been so rudely putting off talking to is the same shadow that follows your every move.

He's smart, dangerously so. Had you been more ignorant, it might have been easier to ignore the steadily increasing accuracy to the guesses your “friend” has been making when he gets bored of your scowling. Not to mention how much more comfortable he seems around you now. Honestly, at this point, you’re more worried for his mental health if he really does want to be friends with you. Surely, someone like that wouldn’t have a very reliable support system? Ah, but maybe he just doesn’t trust them enough. Understandable, since you’ve never been one to trust so easily either. Still, you’d never stoop so low as to seek friendship from your enemies. You suspect that he may even be catching “feelings”- annoying, but not a total disadvantage. If the fluster on his cheeks when you catch him off guard is real anyway. Hell, maybe you can use this to make a deal. You turn back towards the door. You suppose it’s about time you stopped putting off your conversation.

At least you have a plan, now.

Mikey

Mikey would probably do best with a corrupted villain, someone who wasn’t always this way, but they either have to now in order to survive or were changed over time. A villain like this leaves him more room to be delusional, to keep his mind set on fixing them, on bringing them back to the light.

Of course, it’s entirely dependent on who you are whether or not he’s actually right- but personally, I think it’s a funner story if he’s wrong and actually just delusional about the “good” inside them.

He’s always putting himself in the worst situations in your fights (which he insisted he do without his brothers) only to scrape out a win at the very last minute.

You’ve questioned him before- the whispers in the concrete walls and floors of the city refused to quiet until you did- why does he always come alone? Why keep throwing his fights (because it’s always obvious that he does) and the absolute freak just kept going on and on about how you’re just “hurting” (you assume he means mentally, and not your boiling blood). The orange-clad brat seems so sure that just one session with whoever this “doctor feelings” guy is would have you picking orphans up off the street or whatever he (and his much more tolerable brothers) seem to think is “good”.

But whatever. As soon as you can get your head to stop throbbing with paranoia (was that shadow in the corner of your eye friend or foe, you wonder), maybe you can convince your few allies that this particular turtle might be better among you rather than letting him tear down your plans while he stares you down with the kind of pity in his eyes that the average person may feel for a wounded animal. You have the sinking feeling that he’s always seen you as such, but as long as he thinks he has your best interests in mind, maybe you can keep him working under you for a while. Until he gets desperate, anyway.

Raph

A bit similarly to Mikey, it weighs easier on Raph’s conscious to fall for someone more like an anti-villain. Someone doing bad things for a justifiable or even good reason. He’s not necessarily convinced that he can fix them, no, but it does let him justify their actions (mostly to himself).

Raph seems like he genuinely wants to help people- he’s even gone off on his own to be more efficient in one of the episodes (something something red angel of something something). An anti-villain with similar goals to him would be much easier for him to fall for than, say, Leo’s mastermind villain. 

Poor guy is desperately trying to juggle keeping any nearby innocent's and his brothers safe while also making sure that you aren't hurt too badly either. It's an uphill battle, and he's losing. But hey, maybe he's fine with just a few people, I dunno, losing an arm in the crossfire. Not like it's his fault that they got a little too close to you. It's not like he knew that shoving them would put them directly in your line of fire.

He unintentionally throws his fights with you. It’s not that he’s trying to- he’s actually trying very hard to do well- but instead of trying to knock you out so that the police can take care of you, he’s hesitating while he prepares a punch while his worry-riddled mind races to try and think of some way to safely restrain you without causing you too much pain. Villain or not, he still wants to protect you- he values people, and wants them to be ok! Even you! Especially you.

Hi! I know this might not gain a lot of traction, but I started a little blog to post about my ocs every once in a while! This is the first post, so I'd really appreciate if you gave it a read!

They should really check that alley...

A neat little story featuring three of my OCs.

Fyuchen had run from the cops many times in his life. When flattery didn’t work out, running like he was in a marathon worked out well most of the time.

However, this time, that was not the case.

He’d barely managed to knock a tranquilizer dart off its course, sending it flying away into some passerby’s neck- guess he put a little too much power behind that blast of magic- while looking for somewhere to hide. How the hell was he supposed to know this guy had security? He thought this client was just some random guy he could steal from, but nooo, the world just had to screw him over! Oh, hey, an alleyway. Must be his lucky day.

The half-fairy ducks into the dark alleyway, chest heaving. God, his lungs are burning- when was the last time he had to run that fast? He lets his head fall against the grey wall while he catches his breath. Wiping sweat off his face, Fyuchen tries to gather his jumbled thoughts, dropping one of the ping pong paddles he “borrowed” that got him into this situation. Ugh, now it has dirt on it… he looks out of the alley, and as it turns out, the police just kept running past him. He scoffs. Don’t they know to check dark, convenient alleyways? He looks back into the alleyway-  “Huh?” And spots a red-haired fairy with moth wings. “Oh, Inju! Fancy meeting you here!”

He looks up at the tall woman. From the looks of it, she just got out of a fight- not that there’s much damage done to her, but the machete she’s got in her hand is drenched in blood. She seems calm enough though, with her green headphones playing a song. Does her phone say ‘Mama’s broken heart’? He decides to brush it off. “How’s the machete you stole from me working out?”

…And she isn’t saying anything. Did she just turn up her volume?! Nuh-uh, no way. Fyuchen picks up the ping-pong paddle from the floor and frantically waves them in front of her face. She can’t ignore him! She went and shattered a window into his life, and now she has to deal with the consequences!  “Injuuuuu…. Injuuuu! Hello? Fyuchen to murder hobo…” he hears the red-haired fairy scoff before she practically throws off her headphones and glares at him.

“What do you need, pest?” she hisses. Yikes, what’s with the attitude? Fyuchen briefly considers punching her in the face, but decides that it probably wouldn’t be a good idea. 

“Well~ I was on my merry way into this dark spooky alley when I found you here! What brings you here dear friend of mine?” He makes his most annoying grin while clasping his hands behind his back.

“Eh.. needed space. Not much else.” Inju heaves a sigh before continuing.

 “Unfortunately, you’re here now, which means I have to find a new spot.” Petty much? He knows that their friendship isn’t exactly, well, the friendliest, but he’d like to at least pretend that he wasn’t a total Inju-repellent or whatever. He feels his eyebrows furrow, but at least his grin remains intact.

“Oh, cry about it, why dontcha? Not like the cops are after me.”

He quickly remembers that actually, they sort of are, but pushes away the thought. “What have I done for you to be so cruel to me?” Really, Fyuchen could make a list larger than the piles of stuff at home with just the stuff he’d done in the past 2 months, let alone the past 2 years, but it’s more entertaining to hear whatever examples Inju pulls out. Honestly, sometimes he forgets, so it’s great to hear from someone who doesn’t.

“Last time we talked, you tried to cut me up and bake me into a cake!” Ah, right. If he remembers, he was just feeling a little silly! Your honor, all he wanted was to be friends with her forever! What better way to keep her around than to have little pieces of her in his bloodstream! Not like he was trying to kill her- she always had her way of exaggerating- but he did try to cut some flesh off her arm. “I’m so sorry if I’m not feeling friendly enough for you, but I think I’ve got a pretty good reason!” Debatable, in Fyuchen’s humble opinion, but oh well.

“Wait, wait, you’re really still upset about that? C’mon, it was a whole two days ago! We live in the capital of Wyrbis, everyone knows this city is weird-” especially considering the fact that he’s able to be registered as a citizen here while living in a cave. “-You’ve probably been tackled by a giant worm by now or something…” he trailed off. It was a hypothetical, but guessing by the blood on her machete…

“…Actually, yeah.” Bingo. “How did you find out about the worm? That happened two hours ago.” Fyuchen shrugged.

“I saw the thing running around earlier.” More like he saw it wrecking his house. He knows it’s a cave, but that cave had extremely precious valuables in it! Those things matter more than his own life! Literally, the price on some of those are higher than the bounties his parents would put out when he ran away from home as a teenager. And that was when they still cared enough to put them up! “It had a pretty nasty gash on it though, and considering the dry blood on your machete… I took a wild guess.” 

After a very awkward moment of silence between the two, there was a loud crash, and upon looking up in the direction it came from, Fyuchen could see a worm the size of a skyscraper. And not just a worm, the worm. Is it just him or did it get bigger? If he’s not insane, which, to be fair, is unlikely, earlier when it wrecked his house, it was really only 20 feet taller than it- now he’s pretty sure the thing could crush his cave like an ant. A roar resounds, presumably from the worm. He can’t help but wonder how a worm of all things roared, but then again, he once ate flavored sewing needles, so there have been weirder things. 

Sirens ring out- wait, are they heading towards him? Did the cops find his location after all? He glares towards the alley’s exit. He knew he should’ve fried that tracker in his neck when he had the chance… Yeah, time to derail that train of thought. Fyuchen begins to wonder what the ethics of cloning the worm would be. How much would they sell for? C’mon, a worm that grows in size and roars? That would be one hell of a sale.

A water elemental fairy slides into the alley much like a cartoon character would. Poor guy seems like they’re hyperventilating- from the running or from anxiety, he doesn’t know- but either way, they’re intruding on his little meetup with Inju.

“Oh no, oh no, no no no…” the elemental stammers. Normally, he’d try to rope them into one of his sales, but right now he’s annoyed. No trinkets for this loser!

“Hey, go find your own alley! Me and my dear friend here are having a lovely chat.” Considering their panic, he thinks that’ll be enough to drive them off.

“Ugh, shut up Fyuchen…” Well, that’s mean. “For real though, could you not panic here? I’ve got enough of a headache dealing with this guy.” Oh. Still mean, but at least she’s supporting him for once. Another example of her agreeing with him to store away for later.

“Uh… Sorry? I guess?” The elemental mutters. “But since you’re already here, do you mind helping me out?” What. “My pet worm escaped again. He’s right by my neighborhood, I just need a little help getting over there quickly…” Oh, so that’s their worm, huh? He’ll be drilling them for financial reimbursement later for all the stuff the damn thing wrecked, but for now, maybe his pipe dream of cloning the worm is closer to possibility than he thought. Still, he wasn’t in any mood to be particularly helpful at the moment.

“Haha! Nope! You’re on your own with this one. By the way, you said the giant worm was your pet, right?” Fyuchen spoke.

 “Ye-”

“-Of course I’m right! Anyway, do you mind if I scrape off some of its skin? I wanna clone it.” He decides to be blunt. Sure, he might not get a deal out of them, but it seems like it’ll be fun to see what they think.

“WHAT.” A fair reaction, if he’s being completely honest. He hears the worm roar again, and he can only assume the loud crash after that is the sound of the weird insta-gro worm destroying yet another office. Hell yeah! Viva la revolution! The look on the elemental’s face says that they may, or may not disagree with that sentiment though.

“Oh this is bad, this is bad!” Ah, so they definitely don’t agree. “Bennie!!” Is that the worm’s name? “I know you like destruction, but you can’t wreck the city! There aren’t any other apartments that I can afford that also allow pets!!!” Lovely. So this is a recurring pattern with ‘Bennie’. Amazing. Wonderful, even. Also, the only reason that this person seems to care is because they can’t afford anywhere else to live- seems like a good bargaining chip for later.

Inju chimes in with the lovely comment of “Ok. So he destroys the city. Why is that bad? We finally get to taste sweet sweet death. How could you take that from us?” Yeah, how could they? Just live in a cave like a normal, sane person would! Not like Bennie’s gonna destroy it or anything like that. Perish the thought!

“....Are ya’ll ok?” Alright, has this person been alive for any more than 5 solid hours? C’mon, the idea that a fairy living in Wyrbis’ captial of all places would be mentally well is just laughable, really!

He chuckles. “Oh, you sweet summer child…. Of course we’re not ok. We’re fae. Do you think fae are famous for their mental health and wellbeing? Here’s an idea- why don’t you go kill the worm. Maybe that’ll put hair on your watery chest.”

“Kill??? Bennie??? NO!!! I could never!” the elemental shrieked. In the corner of his eye, he can see Inju wince at their volume- and maybe pitch. She speaks up, and Fyuchen considers himself lucky she did, because otherwise he probably would’ve bullied this guy til they cried. He wonders how much water elemental tears would sell for, if he could get them in a jar before they were reabsorbed into the elemental’s body.

“Well, whatever your name is, it’s either kill the worm or figure out how you’re gonna wrangle it back into whatever cage you have for it.” Oh thank god Inju was on his side. She was never too consistent with when she did and didn’t agree with him, so it was always sort of a gamble whenever he said something. He can only guess that she only agreed this time because she was being inconvenienced too.

"I’d never put Bennie in a cage! He has an underground tunnel system- Oh my god, wait. Did I forget to introduce myself?? So sorry, I’m, uh, Ufyrie.” Ufyrie? Oh no no no no no- He’s met a lot of Ufyries, and most of them aren’t on good terms with him anymore- it’s not his fault if they had shiny stuff right in front of him- they should’ve known he’d steal it! He gathers himself, and tries his hardest to not let his voice waver when he speaks.

“Ufyrie what? You’re gonna have to specify, ‘cause I know like, 5 thousand Ufyries.” Nailed it.

Ufyrie huffs. “Ufyrie Hollyrein.” Oh, thank god he’s never heard that last name before. “Now, back to my original ask, can you two PLEASE help me make my way over to Benjamin? I would really appreciate the help!” So Bennie’s a nickname? It makes sense, at least. He opens his mouth to make another snide comment, but Inju jumps in before he says anything.

“You heard our answer the first time. No.” Oops! Better redirect to just agreeing with her then.

“Must we spell it out for you?” Nailed it again.

“Oh sugar honey iced tea… why has god decided to torture me today?”

Fyuchen laughs. “Sugar honey iced tea? What are you, my great great grandpa? Just curse, it’s not that big of a deal.”

“Well, I found out earlier that for some reason I can’t swear today, so… I’m saying what I can.” Really? They don’t look cursed. Weird that they’re trying so hard not to swear then.

“What are you talking about, it’s easy…..” He opens his mouth to unveil a string of swears that would make a sailor cry, but nothing comes out. “Wait.” This cannot be happening.

“What now?” Inju glares at him. Oh, shut up Inju, no one cares about your opinion right now.

“I. I can’t swear. Why can’t I swear?” Fyuchen gapes. What in the nine hells is happening to him?? Was he cursed? It’s not unlikely, but then why isn’t anything else happening? He frantically checks his body. And if it were the case, then where’s the curse rune? No matter what, for every curse, there’s some sort of rune or sigil that appears on the victim’s body- so it’s super weird that there isn’t one on him right now!

“Told you so.” Ufyrie snarks. Fyuchen stares up at the sky, seeming dazed, while his thoughts bounce back and forth from trying to repeat every swear and slur he’s ever heard and desperately trying to piece together what the hell is happening to him. Ok, so maybe not a curse, but some sort of new disease? No, that would be unlikely even for Wyrbis…

Inju pipes up. “….Wait, I can’t either. Oh god, what are we, characters in a kid’s show?” …Alright, so it’s not just him and Ufyrie. Maybe it’s also affecting other people? He’s not at all sure, but maybe the information could help…? Actually, maybe he should just wait and see if this… thing is still censoring him tomorrow. If it goes away, he won’t worry about it. If it doesn’t, then he’ll just have to throw people into a canyon until one of them tells him how to get rid of whatever is happening to him.

“Can we PLEASE focus on Bennie? I don’t wanna move apartments again.” Well now he’s annoyed again. Maybe he SHOULD try to solve his problem, just to spite this jerk of an elemental.

“Absolutely not! We must get to the bottom of this terrifying conundrum!” Yeah! Using spite to overcome his procrastination! It’s genius!

“Ok, but like….Ben-”

“Ufyrie, no one in this miserable world cares about your dumb worm.” And Inju swoops in for the kill! Woohoo!

Ufyrie stammers, clearly frustrated, before blurting out “Well, I said a hip hop, hippie to the hippie, hippie to the hop, and you don't stop rocking out, you!” …Huh?

“What in Hylia’s name..?” Really Inju? A video game reference? Now?

“Uh… huh.” Moving on from that… “Exactly how long have you been waiting to say that?”

“So, so, so, so long.” Alrighty then. So they’ve been waiting for an hour. Guess that would be a while for them considering they were born five hours ago, according to earlier in this lovely conversation.

Inju chuckles. “Why though? Are you quoting some lame tv show or whatever? Those weird… man, I can’t remember… chinese human cartoons or something?” He’s pretty sure they’re korean, actually. Humans make such interesting shows. It’s pretty fun to peek into what their lives are like- or sometimes what they wish it was like.

“You’re being a hater right now dude. Also they’re Japanese. Idiot.” Ah, guess he got it wrong too.

Inju scoffs. “What a lovely tidbit of information.”

“Don’t act like you’ve never done anything weird or lame or uncool. Remember your ex? She was a freak.” Seriously, she was so clingy! It was pretty frustrating, honestly. Really though, the most frustrating thing is that the police never found her body.

“Look, just because she was a little too excited about the gory horror movies doesn’t mean she was inherently awful!” Yeah, he knows. He’ll be honest- he liked them too. He just never told Inju. Or her girlfriend, for that matter, but they were mortal enemies! …Not that he told her that, either.

“You only say that because you’re not over it yet. To be fair, it was a pretty messy breakup… I had to clean up a lot of blood.” He has to hold back a cackle when he watches Inju’s face go through seven kinds of shock- it’s almost like she’s having ten simultaneous heart attacks. 

“...I didn't kill her…Fyuchen, what did you do?!” Eugh, that voice reminds him of his mom.

“Don’t use that tone on me! I feel like a misbehaving dog!” He bounces on his toes, whining like a child.

“Maybe that’s what you are then! Did you kill my girlfriend?!” While avoiding eye contact, he notices Ufyrie backing away slowly, holding their hands in front of themself like they were running away from a rabid animal. Huh, maybe he really is like a dog. Or, is a dog, according to Inju. Either way, he needs to deal with the rather unfairly pissed off fairy in front of him.

“Well, I guess if I’m a dog, I’ll act like one!” He growls, and when he sees Inju wince, he grabs onto and bites down on her arm. 

“Fyuchen! NO! Get your rabies infested mouth away from my arm! I do NOT wanna become hydrophobic!” Despite her concerns, he stays latched on for a moment longer before she pushes him off and he stumbles slightly. Hey, at least he didn’t fall on his face. He chuckles while the moth-winged fairy glares at him with enough anger to fuel ten thousand suns.

“That’s it- I’m leaving! See ya losers! I’m done!” Inju shouts. To her credit, she did actually leave- Fyuchen shrugs. She’ll be back, he knows it. Not like six months is a lot of time- that relationship barely lasted half a year, and the sucker wanted to leave her anyway! If anything, he did his friend quite the favor for getting rid of that girl sooner rather than too late. He lets himself fall against the wall, heaving a sigh. In the corner of his eye, he sees poor Ufyrie still standing around awkwardly. Hey, maybe while Inju’s gone, he’ll entertain himself with the elemental. Not like he doesn’t know another one already, but Strawberry’s practically his kid. Not ideal to run unethical tests on children you’re emotionally attached to, so….

“Hey Ufyrie, wanna do a drug?” They think for a moment before extending their hand to do a ‘hand it over’ gesture.

Perfect.

I MESSED UP THE AUTHORS NOTE ON THAT LAST ONE HFHSJGJD IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MOST TO LEAST NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

[datesinredink]

could you possibly write headcanons you have of how the rise yanderes would like psychologically manipulate/punish their darling? i’m all for physical violence but what do they do to mess their darling up in the head?

ty very much for reading this if you do :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH RAGHHHHHH!!!!! Since this is such a fun question to answer im gonna order these from most to least awful. The ranking is just my opinion and i would LOVE to see what other people think jhwhnwiurfj i decided to chug a soda to write this and i think that was a great decision because i immediately came up with smth for donnie because of it.

I decided to search up some ACTUAL psychological torture methods that have been/are used in real life and let normal manipulation take more of a backseat so that this didn’t end up too repetitive- honestly would recommend researching it, it’s a fun topic.

Trigger warnings: Very unfun use of technology in your arm, Drugging, More drugging, Even more drugging, Withholding of food/water (+ a more mild example of doing so but it still happens), Mild descriptions of gore, Mentions of blood, general yandere stuff like kidnapping, and likely others- please ask me to tag anything else triggering, because unfortunately I am not perfect.

1- Donnie.

This might be surprising to some of you. Yes, Leo is the manipulator- he’s the face man, the people guy, but I think that in terms of sheer awfulness- Donnie is going to win here simply because of the potential with his tech.

He’s a genius with access to mystic powers who has incredible skill with both designing and creating various machines and gadgets. I think that he’d be very creative, just considering how much he thought to fit into just his bō staff.

My first thought was that he could come up with a small device (which might be able to double as a tracker) to embed under your skin that could move around. It would skitter up and down your arm like a beetle (likely your dominant arm, just to be worse) and be a nice cherry on top of anything else he could come up with.

To pair with that, he could force some type of hallucinogenic drug down your throat- after some googling, LSD would be a likely candidate. While apparently it usually only causes “pseudo-hallucinations” (where you know that they aren’t real, whereas true hallucinations would be where you think they are), true hallucinations can happen, and the pseudo-hallucinations combined with the environment alone would be enough to cause a panic attack. Not even to mention the kind of drugs that the mystic city might have. (edit: i just found out about datura??? GODDAMN THAT’S A STRONG DRUG.)

Also, I think that Donnie would actually take decent care of you prior to any sort of escape attempt or broken rule. He’d hate for you to waste away in a dark room for the rest of your now shared life, so he would take you outside to some private space for a set amount of time everyday while you’re chained to him and probably gagged so you don’t call for help- you need time in the sun and exercise, after all. That’s why I think he’d also stop doing that if you broke a rule. You don’t want to be anywhere near him, and he supposes that he’s fine with that- but if you really don’t want anything to do with Donnie anymore, then you’ll just have to deal with losing all the luxuries that came with him being so caring.

He’ll lower the temperature in your room and take the hoodie that he so graciously gave you and waltz on out. He still brings you food and water, but now it’s less frequent and more random since now he’s prioritizing his brilliant inventions. Sorry dear, but weren’t you the one who begged him to leave you alone? Now he is. What’s the problem?

2- Leo.

Even if you haven’t done anything wrong (yet), being kept in his room would probably be a nightmare. I feel in my adhd soul that he would NOT be good at keeping it clean. It’d be living in a constant mess, and as someone who has lived in a perpetually messy house, it will definitely take a toll on your mental health. Not to mention the additional noise from whatever he and his brothers are doing. You wouldn’t be allowed outside of it either, not for a while at least, so you’d never know what day or time it is.

Other than the already constant sensory of his room, I think that Leo would mainly use threats- of which he goes through with. Not against you, though, but against your family, (what’s left of) your friends, and any other loved ones you might have. He’ll drag their unconscious body into whatever room he’s keeping you in, and wait with you for them to wake up.

While you two are waiting, he’ll lay out everything he’s planning to do to them in awful detail- and lucky you, he even left out some things as a nice surprise!

You’ll be tied to a chair and forced to watch as their guts fall to the ground from the clean slice in their now empty abdomen while Leo picks up and talks about their functions one by one. You silently wish that you never told him that you admired his skills as the team medic.

When he’s finally done rambling about the various viscera laying on the cold floor, he’ll force you to help him clean up- “so that Raph doesn’t get mad about the mess”, as he says. He’ll hold you in his arms when the two of you are done, whispering in your ear about how sorry he is that he had to do that, but you really did force his hand, and you know that, right? If only you had listened…

When the list of people you can bring yourself to care about finally has 0 names, Leo starts to instead take things away from you. He starts small, gradually taking and taking like the parasite you’ve learned he is until all you have left are the clothes you wear and him. He’ll even deprive you of food and water for periods of time, and you can no longer tell if you wish he would shut up for once or if you’re grateful for at least anything to distract you from the constant pain in your empty stomach.

Mikey and Raph landed themselves towards the bottom because I think that they’re both more lenient with punishments (Raph would be afraid of hurting you beyond repair physically OR mentally and Mikey has generally been shown to be very patient and forgiving with people he cares about), but I also think that they might be more exhausting to be stuck with GENERALLY, wearing you down slowly in day-to-day life rather than harsh punishments for breaking whatever rules might be in place for you.

3- Raph.

Raph would try to instill learned helplessness into his darling, to make them understand why he always has to be so careful!

It’ll happen the next morning after a particularly bad argument between you two, and when he’s suddenly letting you handle sharp objects again- but oh no! For some reason you feel so sluggish and dizzy today that you messed up and sliced open your arm. It’s ok- Raph’s here for you! He’ll either patch up your arm himself or take you to Leo, and after it’s taken care of he’ll scold you and say that it’s fine, maybe he’ll give you another chance next week. And he keeps his word- once again, you’re allowed to try your hand at chopping some veggies with him or Mikey- and again, you feel dizzy and accidentally cut yourself.

This will happen many more times- or not, if you give in easily enough- at least until Raph finally decides that he just can’t keep doing this. He brought you to the lair to keep you away from harm, and despite it being to teach you a lesson, he just can’t bear to watch blood drip down your pretty skin.

So instead, he further seals you away- locking you in his room and wrapping one of his hoodies around your head. He’ll keep you like this until you finally learn.

He won’t starve you, at least. He’d hate to watch you waste away after everything, so you’ll be fine physically, but it’ll be hell to not be able to see or properly hear anything. It’ll also be more difficult to breathe properly through the fabric, so I wish you luck with that.

He’s infuriatingly nice throughout the whole thing. Of course he’s angry when you argue with him- when you hurl insults and and completely unfounded whining (yeah right) at him. Sometimes he hurriedly leaves the room so he doesn’t do anything he regrets- but when he comes back- despite your wishes that he wouldn’t- he just wraps that damned hoodie around your skull and chides you for your hostility, leaving you to wonder if this could really be better than death.

You feel insane rambling to his plushies, of which you now know the individual names of, but it’s an admittedly nice bit of company to have when your only other option is Raph. Honestly, you’d rather deal with Ms Cuddles by this point, and she even managed to wring a scream out of Donnie.

At least it’s something you can actually have even an ounce of fun doing that he won’t take away for being “too dangerous”. As long as you can tolerate his absolutely smitten behavior when he finds you talking to them.

Be careful about how loudly you complain, though- it might just land you being completely swaddled in blankets and left to go insane on his bed.

4-  Mikey.

I think that if you were to try and escape from Mikey, he’d conclude that his love simply needs to spend more time with him! Maybe if he shows them how wonderful life is with him, they’ll stop trying to run away!

Unfortunately, I doubt his sleep schedule is very consistent. He keeps you up late at night to try out new spraypaints, recipes, games, anything he can find to do with you will be done. You hardly get the chance to sleep well, and the peace you get in dreams is frequently interrupted.

When he does take a break, he insists on sleeping in the same bed, and it’s much harder to fall asleep with him staring holes into you, as though he were trying to memorize every single detail.

It takes a damn long time to get Mikey to knock it off, too. You have to guess that stubbornness runs in the family, if his brothers are anything to go by. Unfortunately, said brothers’ coddling of their youngest has resulted in quite the persistent guy, and you’re quickly losing the energy to refute him. You wonder how long you’ll need to sleep for the giant spider in the corner of your vision to go away.

When the box turtle finally does realize how much of a toll his shenanigans have taken on poor you, he decides that as the person responsible for you, it’s his job to make sure that you get plenty of rest- and if you refuse, Dr Delicate Touch and Dr Feelings are always here to make sure you’re convinced!

He does a sort of 180- where he once forced you to do everything, he now forces you to do nothing at all, even when your mind screams at you to get up and move. He’ll slip something he stole from the pharmacy into your food and carry your sleeping figure back to his room for your seemingly infinite nap.

In between consciousness, you’ve learned to just stay in bed, maybe draw or write something related to all the adventures you go on in dreamworld.

Fun fact, over sleeping has a couple negative side effects- it increases the risk of diabetes, obesity, headaches, back pain, depression (like you don’t have that already, being kidnapped and all), and heart disease! I wish you the best of luck.

When he finally believes your rest to be sufficient, everything will go back to normal. Except, of course, the lingering paranoia of when it’ll happen all over again will continue to haunt you.

Who knows, maybe he’ll continue drugging you just to keep you a little more complacent. Can’t have you running away all the time, right?

[datesinredink]

Hhhhhhhh please send requests.... I wanna write something but I don't know what to write....

[datesinredink]

Heyyy so maybe I'm insane but. Do NOT Take This Cat Home (which I'll shorten to Dnttch) yandere rottmnt au. Hmmm. I havent slept in 24 hours so I don't know how you would meet them but I do know that it would be very fun to think about how the weird eldritch horror/"OH NO THEY EAT PEOPLE" part would come into play.

Oh wait actually IDEA you could start off meeting one of the turtles (probably Mikey, he'd be most likely to stick around instead of eating you and convince you to take him home because he's so lost and hungry in this new place, couldn't you pleeaaase take pity on this poor turtle?) and then over time, since we know in the Dnttch universe, the cat multiplies in at least two ways (I, in fact have not seen all the endings yet), so the first turtle could gather the other three over time. One could be from a plushie in the pet shop or won at the carnival (prob Raph), the second could be from the movie theater (Leo, I think the hypnosis is weirdly fitting for him), and the final one... Wait. I'm not sure. THERES A LITTLE LIVE PETS TURTLE???? YEAH OK THATS FUNNY I'LL PUT IT IN.

Buuuuuuttttt after the four are all gathered and living in your house (despite your insistence that you couldn't possibly afford to support them. luckily, despite occasionally waking up and seeing one of them in the corner of your room drooling, they've never shown any need to eat) they've gotten a bit attached. They saw you as a possible meal, at first, then a convenient hiding place, but they seem to have found themselves getting attached. They decide that since you've helped them soo much, that they should at least return the favor before they decide to eat you(something you're frighteningly aware they've almost done- the still healing scar from the last time the red one visited your room) or leave.

Now, you feel constant eyes staring holes into your back, and your rude coworkers now either show up on the news with their bones picked almost clean or don't turn up at all. Now, sometimes they'll bring back one of their kills to share with you (after all, aren't you hungry? They've seen you eat, but surely it isn't filling enough to really sustain you- to them, that's why you seem so tired all the time). Since you always turn them down, maybe instead they'll just have you help them store the leftovers!

Raph, as they've taken to calling the biggest of them, eats more frequently than the others to sustain his growth, so there can sometimes be extras that the other three don't particularly want at the time. He even goes out of his way to help you with tearing and cutting apart the meat! It's almost sweet, if only for the weight of what exactly you're putting in Tupperware right now.

Leo gets more aggressive about your attention now, always begging you to play games or watch TV with him. Sometimes he's even fine with just reading comics in the same place, as long as he gets to hold onto you in some way. It's annoying at best in the morning when you have to go to work, but downright terrifying when his marks flare up late at night after you've just insisted for the 10th time that you're tired and don't want to deal with him. Usually, the threat of flickering blue light vaguely forming some kind of sword is enough to convince you otherwise.

Mikey tries his best to help you adjust to your new roommates! He knows how stressed out you are about work, you should tell him about it! He'll even take notes about how they can all brighten your day, so feel free to speak your mind about that horrible lady who yelled at you today. Was she your boss? A coworker? Maybe a customer who asked for the manager? He'll give you a warm hug and reassure you that everything will be ok, and that maybe you should teach him a new recipe from granny's cookbook tonight to take your mind off things! The scene you wake up to the next morning is Mikey humming to himself while the girl's flesh sizzles in the pan you let him borrow last night, Raph drooling over said slab of meat, as well as Donnie and Leo playing the most intense game of rock paper scissors (a game they're glad you taught them- how else would they make decisions) to decide who gets the first plate of food.

Donnie's always useful to have around, his fascination with human technology quickly being honed into electronic mastery. Despite his more reclusive nature, he's still gotten you out of many a pinch with malfunctioning devices, like when you sorrowfully cradled your old toaster in your arms on your way to trash it, only for him to take it from you and return it a couple days later fixed up like new. You appreciate his contributions, and though you're the beta tester for a multitude of his dangerous inventions, with the amount he does for you, it's hard to not feel like you owe him, especially when he himself openly agrees with that point. You just wish he'd give you a break from the explosions...
