Admin Mawile: I don’t usually share my art here, but I doodled a little Pet Au!Reiji on my break at work today, and it came out pretty nice!

xeno au w shu, reiji, ayato, subaru and kou: headcanons on how they’d discreetly get (request?) affection from their s/o?

Admin Mawile:ヾ(･ω･*) Assuming that this is when they’re attached!!

Shuu:

-The closest he’ll get to showing you that he wants affection is to more or less use you as a human body pillow. He doesn’t ask, just forces you to stay close to him. The reality is that it’s getting harder and harder to sleep without being able to feel you nearby, and even though it would crush his ego to admit it, he’s getting to the point where he legitimately needs you close to him.

Reiji:

-A bond like that is very difficult for him to handle, considering how few chances he’s had toe express or ask for affection. When it happens with you, the only way he can handle reacting is to get pickier and pickier about your behavior, coming up with stupid excuses for him to remain by your side, all while not realizing quite how transparent he’s being. 

Ayato:

-There’s really nothing subtle about his attempts to get affection. At best, he’ll grab you and pull you into a hug, burying his face in your shoulder, but he tends towards more clumsy,, violent means when he gets frustrated. A bond is hard on him, as he normally wants all your attention, and the attachment just makes that need a thousand times worse. 

Subaru:

-Wanting attention from you ends in a flustered, frustrated Subaru who does not know what to do. He’s never really tried to get anyone’s attention before, and all these fluffy feelings are quickly getting to him. He’s likely to wind up cracking and shouting something at you about wanting to spend more time together… then getting angry when he realizes what he did. 

Kou:

-With his mental system of give and take, the main way he tries to get you to do something for him is to first do something for you. Thus, when he wants attention, he starts by drowning you in attention. It’s not hard at all to figure out what he’s trying to do, especially when you realize that he’s starting to act more and more childish about it, increasingly needy. 

Admin Mawile: A dumb, late night headcanon for Xeno Au cause I’m tired and have been thinking about this stuff all day: Subaru and Ayato both express an interest in sleeping in small, dark, enclosed spaces. They’re both pretty insecure on the inside, and Subaru especially (who also sticks to his coffin the most), has both high levels of stress/unhappiness, and low levels of self restraint. 

What I’m getting at here is that perhaps distressed or insecure vampires gravitate towards those kinds of places??? As in, it’s some kind of instinct to hide somewhere small and dark when they feel bad, and the only reason more of them don’t do it is because it’s considered “weak” or something. 

…I’m going to sleep now.

Give me Yui she is the best

How I feel about this character

Admin Mawile: Yui is a sweet, precious angel who deserves the best anyone can give her. She’s brave, adorable, kind, and just all around the heroine this series needs. Yui is a ray of sunshine in an otherwise painfully negative story, and her presence changes so many things for the better. I love her for being both the sweetest little darling to exist, and the strongest, bravest girl possible in her situation. The anime does not do her justice in the slightest, and I sincerely think that anyone who actively hates Yui should take a good, long look at exactly why they feel that way. The answer is rarely good.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Admin Mawile: I’m fine with Yui and any of the boys as a platonic relationship. I have a special fondness for her doing something to fill the need for attention that the unfortunate way they’ve been parented has left behind, and it’s just plain cute to imagine the boys making a sort of decent friendship with someone as sweet as Yui. I’m okay with most romantic pairings for her too though! Yui is just one of those characters that works out nicely with everyone. 

My unpopular opinion about this character

Admin Mawile: Honestly, I don’t think any of the boys are really ready for a romantic relationship. They all have major issues of their own, and while Yui definitely does have the potential to be a positive force in their lives, I think that they should figure themselves out a lot more before becoming tied to someone else in such a way. Yui, in my opinion, would be better as a friend than a partner, and it would probably do the boys a lot of good to have a healthy, positive, non-romantic relationship for once in their lives. 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Admin Mawile: Yui’s whole character is kind of a walking power fantasy of being able to win over a damaged pretty boy by being nice to him, so why not make full use of that? I would love to see Yui winning against everything that tries to bring her down… and only using kindness to do it. She doesn’t have to be badass or cruel or sadistic; what I think would be most powerful would be for her to win with nothing but love for those she meets. Seeing her defeat the evils in front of her with ease, and without ever having to so much as raise her voice. That would be the kind of “strong” I think Yui is best at.

For the xeno AU, is it possible if the boys S/O touches their wings in the right places they could become aroused? Or feel something more than relaxation?

Admin Mawile: ヾ( ‘ – ‘*) I had a feeling this question was coming….

-Technically, the wings are the similar to any non-sexual yet sensitive area on a human body (like lips or other soft skin). They’re not inherently arousing or sexual in any way, but it’s possible for them to be incorporated into sexual contact. The main issue with that is that the wings are tied to a whole bunch of vampire instinct to do with trust and safety, and in a way, they can/do affect the vampire’s mental state. 

It’s a not a matter of “right places”, though. They’re just plain delicate, and while touching them could be sexually pleasurable in the right situation, there’s nothing automatically sexual about them. Either way, though, the relaxing, calming, trusting effect would be the same. 

Child au Subaru pleading for his mother not to leave him/break down? Or human au Kanato pleading for his s/o to not kill him or torture him? Maybe they take Teddy away from Kanato and when he fights back or argues they “punish him”?

Admin Mawile: (✧∇✧)╯Ooooh, I like the Kanato one!! Lots of potential for pain there~~ The taking Teddy away idea is very good, and this is already a prompt that I am enjoying greatly~!

No romance, gotcha! Hm… how about lil’ darlin’ Azusa? 🔪☺🔪

How I feel about this character

Admin Mawile: BUNNY!!! Sweet lil bun who’s doing his best!!! Azusa is probably the nicest of the boys, and even though he definitely has his flaws, I’d trust him above any of the rest of them. He’s a good kid at heart, and while he’s more than a little turned around, that can probably be attributed to the brain damage… I feel for him a lot too. His backstory is downright painful, and I just wish I could give the poor little sweetie a hug. I could probably get away with that too, considering that he really only gets violent when he thinks that people want it. 

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Admin Mawile: His dynamic with Ruki is beyond precious! Ruki is one of those characters with an ego the size of the Siberian Tundra, but even he goes out of his way to try to help Azu-bun. The very idea of him being a loving big-brother who does whatever he can to make sure that the rather vulnerable Azusa is safe and well means the world to me, and it’s a relationship that I think the both of them need. Ruki really does get a lot of his self worth from his family, I think, and Azusa needs whatever attention he can get. 

My unpopular opinion about this character

Admin Mawile: I’m not coming up with much for him, so I’ll just go with the obvious here! Which is; I’d rather be a mother figure to him than have any kind of romantic involvement. That’s pretty much my feelings with all of the boys, but eh, it stands to be said. They all bring out much more motherly than romantic feelings in me honestly, and I really just want to take care of them all. Azusa especially, because he’s so fragile seeming and easy to sway. 

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

Admin Mawile: I think that Azusa really deserves to be someone’s sub. I feel like the games kind of shove him into the Do-S role, and honestly, he’d probably be happier being loved and (safely, sanely, and consensually) hurt by someone who treats him like the treasure he is. That’s not to say I don’t love pushy, demanding, “hurt me or I’ll take it as you wanting the pain” Azusa, though, I just feel like he might enjoy being on the receiving end of that spectrum a little more.
