❆ i made the blog 💪 nothin’s there yet, bc i’m takin it easy in terms of work speed. but yeah 😎 i mostly made it to secure a username. so yeah here it is: [BLOG LINK] ❆

[retelling-of-ragnarok]

❆ MY DECISION: I’m not scrapping the blog, or Gwen’s story per say. But in terms of a DL oc, they just… Don’t work the way I had hoped for them to. So their blog will be here! But Gwen just doesn’t work for the franchise the way I had hoped. And trying to sort of cram them in was stressful.

I had fun with them, and roleplay with all of you though!!! But it’s just. STRESSFUL NSND. Anyway yeah this blog will still be here! I’ll still interact from it!! And I do have plans to make a proper DL oc, that hopefully I won’t overwork, or convolute too much. So I appreciate all of you who left nice comments, support, and just; PUT UP WITH ME during all of the content this blog has put out 😎 but unfortunately it’s just… not working for me anymore. ❆

❆ i’m ngl, the more i think about it, the more i realise that gwen doesn’t really feel love for their family at all. it feels more like an obligation to a relative, rather than any kind of sibling relationship.

but at the same time, gwen doesn’t feel as if their family has done anything bad to them. if anything they feel as if they should have been a better kid, and not have disappointed them so much.

so when asked about familial love, they don’t really know how to respond. sure they’d cry if any of their family members passed. because it still feels as if they’ve lost something… but it doesn’t feel like losing a part of the family. they barely even know their siblings, when you really think about it. and they rest don’t know them either— likely wouldn’t even recognise them.

they probably feel a bit bad too. like “these are my parents … my siblings.. but they don’t feel like family to me.” yeah anyways i need to stop regurgitating the same things. but it’s a really complicated feeling to describe. the kinda of ‘obligation’ to love someone. after all none of gwen’s emotional needs were met by them, and none of them other than cieran (when he could) bothered to make an effort to check on them. but also they feel as if they’ve put themselves in that situation. and other children have it worse. so they’re stuck in this loop of “they weren’t bad to me but they weren’t good to me either.” then they feel bad for feeling bad.

so uh yeah tldr: gwen doesn’t actually love any of their family members. everyone’s just sorta,, there ❆

Do you think the dl boys deserve happiness?

not particularly, no.

they hurt the weak and vulnerable, rape and kill for pleasure and have nowhere near as much guilt about that (if any) as they should.

people will bring up their backstories like it makes the rest of their lives completely justified. "oh but laito was m*lested!" like yeah ik baby he m*lested plenty of girls too😭 the jury didn't acquit Jeffrey Dahmer just because he had a bad childhood

i could never get behind the whole 'broken guy who needs a woman's love' because i despise the infantilism of grown ass men. they're centuries old, they can act their age. no amount of "i've had a tough life🥺" excuses you from murder. how many shallow graves are around sakamaki manor, do you think?

i also hate the idea of a very kind, loving person like yui being paired off with the biggest pieces of shit on earth because....why. would you deserve any kindness at all, when you've caused so many other people pain. you deserve a public hanging not a 'soft girl who sees you for who you really are💞💞'.

i consume dl content because i understand that it's supposed to be bloody and morally grey - but i don't see as any of the boys as heroes or even regular people. diabolik lovers isn't a love story, it's just a young girl being preyed on by thirteen far older men who thoroughly abuse her throughout the relationship. it's psychological fodder for me and i view it as that, nothing more.

【 Romeo & Juliet 】 — Juliet’s POV — @pierced-by-eros

❝ You are incapable of love, I’ve realised. Here in these final moments, as your hand pierces my chest. Heh… I guess you never really were one for mediocrity. A fitting end, for someone like me. For the one who’s chased you around all this time… Been at your side… At your beck and call.. Almost like a puppy… But even now, as you look at me with those eyes… Eyes so full of hatred, and hurt… I can’t help but feel thankful…

That’s a bit mean, isnt it? Hah… I’m sorry… You’re hurting… Shouldering so much. Humans sure are funny huh..? Holding it in until they explode… Heh, I guess I was the final straw for you then? That’s okay, I’m not mad…. In a way, you’ve done me a favour… It was quite painful, you know… Chasing after you so. Having no choice but to devote myself to you… At some point, I guess I forgot when it stopped being real… It hurt. It hurt so much… To know I’ll never be the object of your affection. To know I’d be stuck in this existence forever… In a constant state of longing, for someone without the ability to feel… I was afraid the after life would shut it’s doors on me… That I would never get to have a peaceful existence. I’m free now, thanks to you… I’ll be forever grateful… For what you’ve done… So…

Thank you for hating me, Gwen… Thank you… for providing me with something more than the words I so desperately chased after… Perhaps in the next life… No… Never mind… ❞
