Oh wow, this blog is so interesting, I absolutely love it! You’re both doing such an awesome job! I was wondering if the guys were to get an ‘owner’ in the Pet AU, how would they act towards them? Also I noticed you mentioned within this AU that there’s a custom of defanging; have any of the guys had their fangs removed? Thanks and I hope you both have a great day :)

Admin Mawile: Σ(ノ°▽°)ノ Thank you!!!

First to answer the de-fanging bit: Subaru has likely lost his for being “dangerous”. He has quite the history of acting out, and to make him supposedly safer to own, his fangs were taken out as a young teen, about the time the outbursts started. Yuuma has his out for similar reasons. When he was in the shelter, his sheer size made him too intimidating for most people to consider adopting, so his fangs were removed to make him seem like less of a threat. Kou’s were removed by his torturers at the shelter, for little reason other than that they found the helplessness and the sight of it appealing. Finally, Shin’s were taken out after a certain incident, to make up for him having been returned once, and to ensure to potential buyers that he was no harm.

Shuu:

-Much, much less lazy. He’s still lethargic and constantly tired, but the pressure that keeping this new chance at life he’s been given instills is too great to lose. He stays quiet and out of the way, but gains a newfound desire to make himself useful, anything to keep from being sent back.

Reiji:

-With a real owner, Reiji becomes, if possible, even more desperate to please. He finally has what he’s been striving for for years, and he’d do anything not to have it taken away. He’s almost overbearing with it, constantly pushing to do something to please his new owner, overly eager to prove his worth.

Ayato:

-He’s pushy, trying to force his way into their favor in any way he can. Having and owner, being an object of value to a human is the only thing he’s lived for, and he’s desperate to get there. No matter what he has to go through to get there, he has to be important to them.

Kanato:

-Honestly, he’s terrified. Being someone’s prized possession is what he’s been raised for, but humans have done nothing but cause him pain. He can’t get over the trained fear that any contact from a human means hurt, all he can think about is what horrible things this new person could do to him.

Laito:

-Laito is surprisingly well behaved. He stays out of trouble more than most of his brothers, and with an owner, he’d be just as good. That perfect behavior comes at a heavy cost to his mental state, but what’s a little more suffering if it can save him from something worse?

Subaru:

-If anyone adopted him, chance are they’re part of an illegal fighting ring, or something equally horrible. Subaru has been deemed unsalable, so bad that no normal owner would ever want him. He’d try, though, if anyone would give him another chance, he’d try so hard to be good this time.

Ruki:

-Ruki knows how to behave. The only reason he doesn’t have an owner is his status as a a mutt and a stray. In a real home (and if he was sure his brothers were safe), he’d be an excellent pet, quiet, obedient, and willing to suppress his own fear and pain to do what’s expected of him.

Kou:

-Humans, owners have caused Kou more pain than anything. He can’t even function anymore, what more do they want to take from him? He’s too afraid to hardly be in the same room as them, hysteric with the fear that he’s going to be hurt again, like he was at the shelter.

Yuuma:

-He genuinely tries to be obedient, to stay out of the way and look harmless, but his size, strength and rough nature make it hard. Humans have never liked how intimidating he is, and if taking out his teeth wasn’t enough to prove he’s safe to own, what would be?

Azusa:

-He’s almost instinctively wary around humans, so used to them wanting him out of their sight it’s almost second nature to hide. He’s slow, but accepting (a little too accepting) of whatever pain and punishment an owner feels necessary, so pliant and obedient it’s more creepy than pleasing.

Carla:

-Carla has been literally trained from birth to be the best pet possible. He’s a near perfect example of the right combination of out of the way and eager to please, quiet and inoffensive, yet composed and obedient. If it wasn’t for his illness and the weakness it causes him, he’d be almost the ideal.

Shin:

-His rebellious days are behind him, okay? He learned his lesson the first time and he’d never be that bad again. He’s well trained and safe now, even with an eye out he’s still pretty and he’d be so good. If an owner took a chance on him again, they’d never regret it.

How did Shin lose his eye in Pet Au?

Admin Skitty:

-The tale of Shin’s lost eye is a tragic one and took place in his childhood. The very first owners of Shin’s were a couple that belonged to a prestigious and well known family. Famous among many for their prized pets and involvement in the breeding community. For only those in this aristocracy with the most money would be able to even come close to affording the price of a Pureblood. Bought as a gift for their son, Shin was left in this child’s care which was cruel and inattentive. The child was brought up surrounded by pets and submerged within the breeding community and culture, leading him to develop this ideal that pets were unworthy and that Pureblood or not their worth was nothing as they could be easily replaced for the right price.

Shin was put under heavy mental and physical distress due to the demands made by this impatient and unusually severe child while under his care. It came to a point in which in one instance, Shin lashed back at him fed-up with his mistreatment. That was his mistake. As would have been acceptable in this society Shin was beat nearly to death by the boy. Though to the sick minded child this was not enough punishment for this ‘injustice’ and demanded a trophy from the broken pet, as a reminder to know his place. The only price he deemed acceptable was that Shin rip out his own eye which had been a personal favorite of any owner who had seen him. Shin had protested and refused, but inevitably had gone through with the torturous process when the child threatened to buy Carla simply to kill him in front of Shin for his disobedience. As it was rumored that because of a rare case he was being sold cheaper on the market.

After collecting his trophy the child began to grow bored of Shin and his parents fearing that the image they upheld inside of the community would be threatened by the defective merchandise, claimed Shin as ‘Not fit for use’ and promptly had him sold to the owner who would have bought Carla as well. Young Shin reunited with his brother was no longer as free-spirited or playful, but broken and a shell of what he could have been.

Ayato’s reaction to finding his S/O bleeding!

Admin Skitty: To be quite honest I’m not sure whether or not you were requesting for canon Ayato or any of our Au’s specifically…so I came to wonder what a great opportunity this might be to present the differences in personality he would showcase due to situational circumstances so, I hope you find this to your liking.

Canon Ayato:
– It’s no question that Ayato in canon will take as he pleases. I’d like to say that depending on the circumstances of your relationship the manor of how he would take it, is a whole other issue of itself. Chances are he’ll be cheeky or demanding of your blood since by default you ‘belong’ to ‘Ore-sama’. Now if you’re saying in the situation of you being physically injured such as stabbed and you’re dealing with a serious wound here, then Ayato is more likely to worry, but not make it as evident due to his arrogant demeanor he presents himself with. I could see Ayato taking care of his S/O (as well as punishing anyone who would inflict an injury on them) but not being irrational to his lover’s bleeding. He may ask the advice of Reiji and request medicine, but depending on how attached he’s become to you, your life is likely his main priority and there’s no way the great ‘Ore-sama’ would let you die of something as simple as a stab wound.

Pet Au Ayato:
– In this world it must be understood that the pets see themselves as lesser equals to their owners. To enter any form of relationship that is not of ‘pet and master’ is foreign to them and can be a harrowing experience or a joyful one. Pet Ayato in a case in which his s/o is bleeding, in any circumstance, is likely going to be much more stressed and anxious over the well-being of his owner. Due to his docile nature and what the pets have been brainwashed to believe, his understanding of your relationship is going to be a blurry aspect for him. And may result in him internally blaming himself for your injury no matter how small, constantly berating himself and forming these mental processes that it’s entirely his fault, and that there is no doubt he’ll be punished by you; no matter how good you may treat him. He will do as instructed, but will not help you unless requested. For the thought of disobeying an order and being punished, or even worse, disowned is one of his absolute fears. Especially by the person who treats him with the most care.

What other types of features appear in the Xeno AU? Like, are their fangs longer or something of that sort? This blog is so cool by the way! (‘u’)/

Admin Mawile: (๑✧◡✧๑)

-Actually, I’ve drawn xeno versions of all of their fangs! I’d have to hunt down the picture and redo it if I was going to post it though… But yes! Larger, more diverse fangs with more shapes than the canon “tiny little points”. The fangs is a bit optional though, because I do love the cute little fangs. As I’ve mentioned, de-fanging is a fairly common practice in Pet Au, so the vampires there could have no fangs at all.

-Slit pupils and eyes that seem to glow in the dark. Since vampires are nocturnal, I can picture them as having eyes like a cat’s that, especially in darkness, catch any light and glow like mini lasers. Eyes like this would come with more sensitive vision, too, and a much lower tolerance for bright light.

-A big part of the xeno traits are mental. There are a variety of instincts and tendencies that can shape a vampire’s behavior, often beyond their control. Most of them began as methods of survival, and even in modern times when their purpose hardly remains, the instincts themselves stubbornly stick around. Generally, they aren’t talked about, especially around humans, as the vampires themselves tend to see the instincts as shameful, useless weaknesses.

Pet au, would a pet form a romantic relationship with an owner? or an owner with a pet?

Admin Mawile: (〃´o｀)=3

-I don’t know if “romantic” is quite the right word for it, but there are definitely owners that have some kind of relationship with their pets. Since the pets themselves are considered less than human, the laws on how they can and cannot be treated are much looser. This makes any relationship with that view horribly one-sided, especially as the pets are trained to obey their owner’s every command. There’s without a doubt a business for that kind of pet, though, and as such, there are special breeders that cater to such an interest.

oooh more about pet au ayato’s personality please???

Admin Mawile: (~￣▽￣)~

-So in canon, Ayato has an obsession with being the best brought on by his mother’s abuse and pressuring. In this Au, he has a similar complex. He’s convinced that he’s superior, and uses that false arrogance as a defense mechanism; if he’s not the best, he’s nothing, so he has to be the best. Here, Ayato’s pride is twisted around his good breeding, and the knowledge that if he doesn’t prove to be worth buying, he’ll be as good as dead. He’s completely obsessed with being good at what he is, being a good enough pet to find an owner and not be killed for being useless. He still acts arrogant, but it’s a desperate farce, the last thing keeping him from snapping completely.

-At the same time though, he’s much more submissive and unstable, especially around humans. There’s never been any guarantee on his life, and the stress of knowing that any bad enough mistake could be the end of him has left Ayato jumpy and desperate to please. Humans make him nervous; they’re the ones with the power in his little world, and the ones that he’s known so far have been cruel, short tempered, and hard to please. He knows that he has to keep them happy somehow, but it’s so hard to figure out what they want of him, and no amount of believing he’s the best will do any good against their painful, confusing expectations and rules.

So, I really like Subaru. Some boyfriend headcanons for him?

Admin Mawile: Σ(ノ°▽°)ノ

–Definitely shy about romantic stuff for a while. He’s horribly easily embarrassed when you’re first in a relationship, and while he gets better the longer you’re together, he never gets over it all the way. How just kissing you can fluster him after everything he threatened/actually tried to do you before you were in an actual relationship is still a mystery, though.

-He’s super protective too. You’re tiny and fragile and if anyone so much as looks at you wrong there’s a good change they’ll be punched through a wall. Subaru’s temper is bad normally, but when your safety is involved, all sense goes out the window.

-On a similar note, he would try to tone down said temper around you, too. Since you’re probably scared of his outbursts (or you should be, in his mind), and the last thing he wants is to be the cause of your fear, he does try to control himself. Unfortunately, the success of these attempts varies, and he’s still regrettably prone to violent outbursts and fits of rage.
