#and /also/ also worshipping/adoring/loving/caring about a person /also/ doesn't entitle you to a romantic relationship with them either

[the-way-astray]

hi, hello, yes, if you ever use the word "deserve" with regards to romantic relationships between fictional characters (and real people, honestly) then i kindly invite you to go fuck yourself

[yanderes-galore]

Could you do a concept for Jack Horner from puss in boots?

I have mixed feelings about this character but honestly he's voiced by one of my favorite comedians so there's that :)

Many people write him softer than this but... this felt in character for me so I hope the darker take is nice also?

Yandere! Jack Horner Concept

Pairing: Romantic/Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Swearing, Jack Horner is an asshole by nature, Abuse of power, Manipulation, Threats, Murder, Jealousy, Implied forced touching, Sadism, Jack likes to hurt darling (mostly) emotionally, I purposefully made him horrific (as you can tell I again have a love/hate relationship with a character), Kidnapping mention.

Jack Horner is a vile man.

He doesn't even deny the fact he's a monster or try to hide it.

He's an irredeemable megalomanic crime lord that wants nothing but power.

He doesn't care about the good things in life and is always striving for more.

You'd have a really tough time if he wants to pursue you for whatever reason.

Jack is selfish and greedy... he wouldn't consider how his darling feels in the slightest.

All he cares for is himself.

Jack Horner is Intimidating, Possessive, Manipulative, Forceful, Entitled, Selfish, Easily jealous, Sadistic and Controlling.

In his eyes... he comes first.

He is characterized as a horrible man so I will write him as such.

Jack does not seem like a yandere who would be affectionate towards his darling.

Not without something in return.

Jack will take and take from his darling and rarely gives.

He's not entirely egotistical, more just greedy and easily jealous.

You don't really have to worship him but he does want your attention on him and him alone.

There's no point in hoping he gets better.

When his obsession peaks he's only slightly better towards you.

Affection would still be sparse... but rewarded.

Jack would have trouble being attentive to the needs of another person.

Even though he's obsessed with you he isn't entirely sure how to act on it in a healthy way.

He's a monster so he acts as such.

If you're harmed by him or if your family is harmed by him, he doesn't care.

Jack takes what he wants.

Jack has a lot of power due to both his business and the amount of magical artifacts he has.

He likes power and definitely abuses it.

You're most likely scared of him due to his infamous reputation and power.

Which works for him as fear makes you more compliant to his advances.

After all, when Jack Horner sets his sights on you...

The looming fear of your demise kicks in when he tries to make an effort to be... closer.

What? Are you seriously going to refuse?

Jack has no remorse for violence and murder... which is the cause for your growing fear.

Jack is easily jealous and possessive of his darling.

Jack seems like he'd be childish at times.

When he makes his intentions clear with his darling he expects you to be with him all the time.

The moment he sees you with another person, friendly or romantic, Jack's killing them.

None of that manipulate them away kind of thing.

Murder. Straight up kills them. In view or not he just wants them gone.

Then he's going to be pissy that you were with that person.

Jack probably ends up being mad or aggressive with his darling and gets a bit handsy with them.

In all the ways but you mostly just get bruises from his grip.

He feels like he can use you to his advantage when he's obsessed with you.

You've charmed him but he still is horrible with being gentle.

Jack feels like he can demand you for affection and attention..

When he calls you to him he expects you to adore him.

The moment you hesitate on affection?

He'll nudge you in the right direction or threaten you.

As said before, he's a monster who would utilize the fear you have for him to make you compliant with his wants and needs.

Jack has no sympathy or empathy.

If you fear him he doesn't care.

He may even be a bit sadistic with your fear.

Jack uses his size to his advantage to intimidate you and likes an obedient darling.

If you fight against him he doesn't mind correcting you.

You'd think he'd kill you... but he actually doesn't.

He prefers to find a way to humiliate or cause you pain.

Jack can't ever be corrected.

There's no fixing a man like him.

Jack would kidnap you.

He would definitely break all you love to get you to rely on him.

That way you have nowhere to go if you try to leave him!

It's hard to describe how he feels for you.

It's an extremely sadistic and greedy relationship this can shift between romantic and platonic.

He's never usually soft towards you for long so it's such a twisted dynamic.

However, to sweeten the concept a little bit, Jack has moments of weakness.

Moments where he clings to you for one reason or another and doesn't try to scare you.

They're in private and usually short, but get longer the further he is into his obsession.

Most of the time the obsession is harmful to you... but near the peak Jack is easier on you but not by much.

Enough to make you think he can change before he swaps again and finds a way to manipulate you again.

Jack is a monster and nothing is going to change that...

Introducing a darling to him makes him a possessive and jealous monster... but a monster all the same.
