Sunk and Gone

Yandere! Gangster x Mafia Boss! Reader

Fluff, needy yandere, age difference, slightly suggestive content

He was just some dumb kid who played with fire.

Before he knew it, he was getting his ass kicked by the real deal, the big time guys.

He dropped your name out of pure desperation. He had no clue who you were really. He just wanted to save his own skin.

He never expected you to actually show up.

In your white tailored suit, you were like some mafioso guardian angel.

You tilted his chin up to face you and he couldn't bear to meet your eyes. You were goddamn terrifying.

"This little punk says he's one of mine?"

You lazily blew your cigar smoke into his face. It was black cherry, high class stuff. He can still remember the taste of it on his tongue, the way it made his whole body tingle.

He thought he was done for. You were probably gonna set your own guys on him for dropping names he had no business knowing.

He never expected you to save him.

His beat down gurus were cussing up a storm, saying he practically maimed one of their guys, he wouldn't even be able to walk for a week.

What bullshit. The most he did was give the guy a shiner before he was getting his own ass kicked.

You smiled at him then, like you knew exactly how much crap they were spewing.

You nodded and your guys threw a fat stack of cash on the table. All 100s. God, there must have been at least 5k just sitting there.

You hauled him to his feet and that's when he realised you were stronger than you looked too.

"Why?"

He barely even managed to ask that.

You were trying to light a new cigar and get back in your fancy car, but your lighter was just throwing up sparks.

He found himself reaching into his pocket and pulling out his shitty gas station lighter. He struck a flame and held it out to you.

You leaned in and caught his eyes for the second time that night. The flame was dancing in your eyes and you looked just like the devil.

He was sunk right then and there and he knew it.

He showed up outside your office everyday, waiting with his lighter clasped in his sweaty palm.

Everyday without fail, you would give him a chance to light one of your smokes for you.

"Don't you got someplace better to be kid?"

"No ma'am."

And he kept doing it, rain or shine or snow. On bad days, he'd bring his umbrella and unfurl it for you before you even stepped out of the car.

"You shouldn't keep hanging around kid. It ain't safe."

"I know ma'am."

He stayed, despite the dirty looks from the gangsters, despite the way they bumped into him hard enough to bruise. He stayed, stubborn as a goddamn mule, until you gave up on getting rid of him.

"I got a job for you kid."

"Anything you ask ma'am."

Oh he was a sucker for you. You had him hook, line and sinker without even trying.

And he worked hard. Running errands and then pushing drugs and then beating down the folks you set him loose on. There weren't any limits anymore, no line he wouldn't cross for you.

After a while, you let him in your guard rotation. And he was in bliss. He watched you constantly.

Hell, he couldn't take his eyes off you even if he wanted to. The capo himself said he was impressed with his diligence.

"Come here kid. You ever had oysters before?'

"No ma'am."

You were in one of your favourite restaurants, finishing up your meal and just drunk enough to have given yourself a pretty flush across your cheeks.

You made him lean toward you and gripped his chin before tilting the oyster into his mouth. It was salty and soft and his mind was going awful dirty awful fast.

After that he would order oysters whenever he could. He could almost feel your fingers on his skin when he ate them.

And soon he was part of your interrogation crew. His shirt sleeves rolled up and his forearms splattered with blood. He was putting on muscle now too and his punch hurt worse than a hammer to the face.

One unlucky son of a bitch made the mistake of insulting you right in front of him. God help him, when the anger cleared, the man's face was nothing more than pulp.

And you were watching him. One arm crossed under your breasts with the other balanced on it, a cigarette held up to your lips.

"You're a real good guard dog, you know that kid?"

"Thank you ma'am."

The next time you summoned him, you were in your office. Your heels were off and your legs were crossed, your stockings showing off the curves of your feet.

"Grab that pen for me."

It was on the floor under a side table and he had to get down on his knees to get it. When he moved to stand, you interrupted him.

"Don't get up. But bring it here."

"Yes ma'am."

He was grinning like a dog in heat. He put the pen in between his teeth and crawled on his hands and knees to you.

He sat at your feet like a goddamn puppy, his boner so fucking hard he thought it would rip through his trousers.

You cupped his chin in your palm and looked down at him. From down here, your legs looked a mile long and he wanted to lick every inch.

"You're such a loyal little thing, you know that?"

"Ysss mmm."

It was muffled because he still had that fucking pen in his mouth. And he was damn thankful for it too. Without something to bite onto, he was sure he'd actually be panting.

You took it carefully out of his mouth. A string of saliva followed it and you twitched your thumb across his lips to break the connection.

"Good boy."

You turned away from him, shaking the pen off a little and getting back to the books you were balancing.

He whimpered.

He actually fucking whimpered.

You smirked a little at that and shooed him away with one perfectly manicured hand. He dragged his feet walking out of there, his boner killing all higher thinking. Just hoping and praying you would call him back.

He turned to look at you before he closed the door. You had your face resting in one hand and you were tapping the pen against your lips with the other. Your eyes were entirely focused on your books.

And he felt it all over again. He was sunk - hook, line and sinker.

He was your loyal dog. Now and always.

What genre is Chainsaw Man? Or, more accurately, what type of story is this?

I watched the anime first, and I became so invested that I immediately read the manga. At that point, I understood Chainsaw Man as an Action-Comedy with Horror aesthetics. I had the big twist with Makima spoiled before I started, yet I still imagined it as a story that was going to see Denji learn and grow as a person and ultimately end up better than he started.

But I think it was around the time that we saw The Chainsaw Devil in his full glory that I reconsidered. The plot at the point hit me like a ton of bricks, and I said "Wait… I think this is legitimately a Horror Story."

Chainsaw Man is in some combination an action-horror-comedy. But what order do those elements go in? What kind of story is this?

My first impression was informed by its place in Shonen Jump. In the back of my mind, I was thinking "this is a dark and twisted story with thematic depth, but it's still a Shonen Battle Manga. This is still going to be a Hero's Journey." But the further on I read, the more I had to face the possibility that this is a Horror Story, with a bleak and tragic ending that sees the characters' lives destroyed, their worst qualities enabled, with the moments of hope only serving to build them up to make it more interesting when they are crushed. It's the kind of story that would disturb me, but it would also stick with me.

You'd think it'd be easy to tell what kind of story this is, but it's harder than you'd think, because it's still ongoing. The ending is going to inform how we read it.

On the comic side of things, there's always the possibility that we end on a less decisive note. Rather than triumph or tragedy, maybe Denji ends up right back where he started, having learned little. I'm thinking of when Asa had this big revelation about how she acted aloof because she was jealous of her classmates' camaraderie and only wanted their acceptance and dedicated herself to becoming a better, more open and friendly person… Only to immediately undercut the revelation with Bucky's death. Bam! Right back to square one, back to isolation and jealousy and cynicism. And it's darkly hilarious.

These different tones and elements of CSM attract different audiences, and I think that fans end up rooting for one ending over another; their emotional investment in the story is investment in it turning out to be one kind of story, rather than another. And it's easy to love these characters. It's easy to want them to be OK.

I think that's what's so polarizing about Chainsaw Man 167. I don't think it's the sexual content. Maybe there are people complaining about it in a puritanical way, but I haven't seen them. No, what I've seen is people wanting these characters to develop into healthier, more mature, fuller people. I've seen people wanting this scene of sexual abuse to be more than just a dumb throwaway joke for shock value. They want the issue to be examined with nuance. I've seen people empathizing with the characters on a level that shows that the tragedy is maybe too-effective, to where it makes the story too personally painful to continue reading. In short, I think this chapter has made some people realize that this might not be the type of story they want it to be.

And perhaps the worst possibility of all: that it turns out to kind of be none of those things. There's always the chance that it turns out to be a lot of different evocative ideas and vibes that ultimately didn't cohere. I know people have a lot of faith in Fujimoto, but we've all seen it happen too many times before, with other beloved but messy works.

Chainsaw Man still has a hold on me, and I'm not going to stop reading. But I won't flippantly dismiss the concerns of those who were distressed by the recent chapter, either. There are reasons, and they matter, because they'll ultimately define the work that fans have already invested a huge amount of time, thought, and emotional energy into.

Maybe she became a vampire in a way similar to what happened to Santa in the international assassin's arc? Like how when she ate a piece of the Darkness devil's flesh she became more demonic even tho she was still a human. Maybe Ashuta got fed a piece of the vampire devil's flesh and that turned her into one?

Anyways, pretty cool stuff! If you do post about what she does in part1 eventually I'd be up for reading it (you're talking to the person who made a huge post detailing what my own csm ocs did in story so yeah, that stuff is definitely my vibe)

That's a great idea!! i might just incorporate that!! >:3 and AUGHHH THANK U SO MUCH!! here's a tidbit of how she's first introduced to Special Division 4 :3 Hope to turn this into a manga page eventually

"So you're the one that's been leaving devils around like this... Rather big meal for such a small person. Then again... I don't think you're just a human, are you?" "...No." But I was hungry. Look, I'm not hurting anyone. What the hell does it matter? Kill me if you want." "Poor thing. You look so scared... We're not going to kill you. I think I have an offer for you instead. My name is Makima."

part 1 spoilers/elaboration under the cutaway

Be well aware that if Ashuta would've said no to Makima's offer to join the Division, Makima would've shot up her ass on the spot

From the get-go, Makima can sense Ashuta's loneliness and impressionability with her Control Devil powers. She knows that the way to Ashuta's loyalty is through gentleness, not even needing to use her control devil powers as long as she talks softly and treats Ashuta gently.

Makima doesn't see anything necessarily special or powerful about Ashuta aside from her durability, and only takes her into Special Division 4 to A. add another "species" to her diverse team of fiends, hybrids, and humans and B. give Denji someone to relate to so she can crush his soul later. Ashuta isn't necessarily sisterly like Power nor like an older sibling like how Aki is, but she sits on Denji's level since they're both nonhuman and both technically immortal. This is so Makima can rip her away from Denji later (which is a whole other thing I'm excited to talk about!)

[gallus-rising]

while i'm up yapping and have had time to digest here's a few Thoughts i have so far:

boy, the author sure likes drawing people getting there arms cut off in unique ways!

author is also good at giving you just enough about side characters to hook you into liking them without actually telling you about them (which i knew from Fire Punch but it's on a way larger scale here) like. i wanna know more about the devil hunting lesbian polycule! that woman and her protégé living in the woods! those 2 dudes that worked for Makima that had identical scars! Beam and Violence and the spider lady!

Gun Devil fight was unbelievably Holy Shit. fully lived up to the hype

Aki/Angel did not live up to the hype. the fandom lead me to believe they were a whole Thing but they barely liked each other. i fear that because Denji/Aki isn't a particularly viable or attractive ship Aki/Angel fell victim to Mandatory Yaoi Syndrome

hell was really really really cool. the doors gave it big Dorohedoro vibes, which i always love

"my dream was to be hugged" waaahhhhhhh

"when you find the [REDACTED] devil you have to make friends with it" WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

THE SNOWBALL FIGHT WAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHGFDSHJGFHJSGWAUIRTHGWFEIOVHREIOSHGBIO;DHZEKO;GRHYI GOED KILL ME

why do they even keep Fox Devil around. bro hands out contracts then immediately fucks off

i read part one of Chainsaw Man

what the fuck

[Chainsaw Man manga spoilers]

What's really funny about watching chainsaw man while having already read the manga is

That I don't remember shit

Like they're all there fighting and shit and I'm like WHEN DID THAT HAPPENED OMG I THOUGHT THAT GIRL SHOWED UP LIKE 50 CHAPTERS LATER WHY IS SHE HERE

And

WHERE IS THE SHARK GUY? AND ANGEL WHEN ARE THEY GONNA SHOW UP- OH HERE THEY ARE HI, FINALLY

OH Mask guy?

*no brain head empty*

Literally I don't remember anything about him but for some reason I have a vibe that he's sweet. And maybe something going on with him and Kobeni? Were they canonically dating? Did I just thought they looked cute? Who knows? Not me. I probably have amnesia?

Like I just remember that the manga ended with Denji either eating Makima for lunch or throwing her in the toilet and then some dude showed up with a kid like "Hey that's Makima. You have to babysit her now. Yeah you've been eating her and shes evil. Look after the child"

Like I've probably been in so much denial about Aki's death that I don't even remember how he died. Like I still hope he'll somehow come back to life- cause why not? Denji did that in the 1st ep

Also Power died too? And I don't remember how? Explosion? Birthday cake? Dogs?

Also I remember there was a Chinese(?) Lesbian with a whole harem and she was dating Halloween or something and a bunch of weird girls

And I think there were Russians too? Was the bomb girl Russian? She went for a swim with denji?

Oh- also I remember Angel's tragic backstory or something

Like he was happily living in a beach and one day he woke up and everyone was dead and he thinks he probably killed them so now he's sad

Also I don't fucking remember what happens to him

Also there was a big plot twist about Makima but I don't even remember what it was?

I think she was a Demon?

The biggest plot twist was probably the fact that the manga is set in like the 70s? and I found out near the end💀

I think there were also astronauts? And denji used the shark as a horse and they were buddies

...

I remember random shit but I have no idea what the plot is

Like I'm watching the anime they're all making deals or meeting people and idk what their deal is

[communist-cat-girl]

ramblin spoilers about the new chainsaw man chapter below

its kinda heart breakin to see our autistic queen really like ... feel so useless. she got this cool alrer ego thats rly helped her be more than an anxious mess and for like less than an hour without it its like she has no purpose, no drive; and when she finds it for JUST a moment its gone (and yet another heirloom from her mother, no less). it hurts, it breaks down her character in a rly good way. reduced, destroyed, soiled, ruined, absolutely fuckin humbled. its gonna be interestin to see how this helps her grow or, pessimistically and tragically, sets her back even further than she was at the start.

kobeni's brother pog too, we know what you are.

denjis still a menace, thats my boi

i dont care for the devil hunter squad in gnrl, but tbf they kinda feel like the special divisions from part 1, expendible xcept for the standouts; famine and mini-beni

also has fami made a deal with eternity? im kinda gettin the vibe that she knew this would happen that i didnt rly get before asa had that brief flashback. whys she want chainsaw dead so bad? the eyes make us think of makima, maybe it has to do with big sis? unsure; i haventry actually read part 1 lmao, i have a VERY weird idea of whats all goin on
