Could I please request the Pet Au boys’ reaction to their owner celebrating Christmas with them(or at least attempting to do so)? Thanks very much^-^

Admin Mawile: ヾ(´・ω・`)

Shuu: He’ll do whatever you order him to, and doesn’t care too much whether or not you choose to celebrate human holidays with him. 

Reiji: He has no complaints with whatever his owner chooses for him to do, and is highly cooperative with whatever you want. 

Ayato: In an attempt to please you, he tries to force himself to get excited about the holiday, hoping that will make you happy with him. 

Kanato: He’s completely passive, and will happily do whatever he’s told. If you want to celebrate Christmas with him, that’s what he wants too. 

Laito: He knows better than to resist you in any way, and cheerfully goes along with whatever kind of celebration you want to have. 

Subaru: He’s a bit nervous about somehow ruining something, but is ridiculously happy that you want to include him in the holiday. 

Ruki: He’s perfectly obedient and will do whatever you say. Celebrating with you is a ridiculously easy thing for you to request. 

Kou: He’s sort of afraid of what a “celebration” will entail, but worries more about what would happen to him if he denied you. 

Yuuma: He doesn’t see any problem with celebrating  human holiday with you. It’s much better than getting punished for disobedience. 

Azusa: He’s perfectly content to do whatever you ask, and happily goes along with whatever sort of Christmas celebration you want. 

Carla: He’ll do whatever you order, and something that requires as little action as spending Christmas with you will be a simple task. 

Shin: He’s a bit unhappy about being forced to participate in a human holiday, but does what you say out of fear of punishment if he doesn’t. 

What would the boys (Human AU) react to Yui/reader teasing them for being masochistic?

Admin Mawile: (●ゝ∀・)ノ

Shuu:

-He pretends to not care, but if you pay attention, you can see that he’s getting rather flustered. Acknowledging to himself that he likes what you do to him is one thing, but having it pointed out is worse in so many ways. 

Reiji:

-He’s so embarrassed that his blush practically glows. If you point it out too much, he’ll get angry and defensive, so go easy on the poor guy before you actually crush what little ego he has left. 

Ayato:

-It’s a huge hit to his pride to have you actually pointing out how much he likes being pushed around, and he gets angry out of sheer desperation to make you stop. His ego absolutely can’t take being teased. 

Kanato:

-If you tease him about it too much, he’s likely to cry. On one hand, you’re paying attention to him, which is always good, but he doesn’t like being made fun of at all, especially over something so embarrassing. 

Laito:

-He laughs and goes along with it, and depending on if your relationship is close, might tease you back for being a sadist. Inside, he doesn’t like being teased very much, but it’s better than some things you could do. 

Subaru:

-He turns so red you might actually have to worry about him passing out, and stutters out an absolutely pathetic defense. He can’t take embarrassment of any kind, and practically shuts down from the teasing. 

Ruki:

-It very nearly crushes his pride to have you pointing out something like that even if it is true. He’ll try to end the conversation quickly, too ashamed to handle you continuing to make fun of him. 

Kou:

-He tries to laugh off the teasing, but it’s obvious how red his face and ears have gone. He starts tripping over his words quickly, visibly embarrassed by the kind of teasing that’s impossible to deny or dismiss. 

Yuuma:

-He ducks his head and refuse to look at you, face heating up as you point out what’s possibly the most embarrassing thing he’s ever had to admit. He gets angry quickly out of a sheer desire to make you stop. 

Azusa:

-He happily agrees with you, completely missing the point of the teasing. It doesn’t embarrass him a bit that he’s masochistic, and if anything, he’s hopeful that you’ll do something to prove that he is. 

Carla:

-He goes quiet almost immediately, trying to keep his cool even as you tear his pride to shreds. He’s so embarrassed the tips of his ears are actually going red, hands faintly shaking from the shame. 

Shin:

-He gets viciously angry with you for teasing him, snapping at you to shut up already and quit making fun of him. He can’t stand the hits to his pride and would do almost anything just to make you stop. 

So what’s the societal view on vampires in the pet au? Like how do humans as a group tend to treat vampires, especially vampires that aren’t theirs, and are there protests for vampire rights, and how do vampires as a whole tend to feel about humans, and how do non-vampire-owning humans see vampire-owning humans? ~Jasper

Admin Mawile: ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ Very good questions!

-The general societal view on vampires is pretty similar to how we see exotic pets. They’re fancy, high maintenance, and have the potential to be dangerous, but a lot of people are insistent that they can be safe owning them. They’re expensive to own, as they function similarly to humans, and generally can be seen as something like owning a combination of an expensive breed of purebred cat and a rather large snake; fancy and high quality, but difficult to care for and potentially dangerous. 

-Humans generally treat vampires the same as they would animals. They’re known to be trained into safe behavior, and the humans that are comfortable with owning them treat ones that aren’t theirs the same as they would someone else’s large dog; impressive and amazing to see from a distance probably wise to ask before getting too close in case it’s not one of the well trained ones. Humans who don’t like how human vampires look are more likely to keep their distance and just avoid the situation altogether. 

-There are probably some people who are in favor of vampire rights, although they’d likely be seen as rather extreme, like a certain animal rights group today. Vampires are generally accepted as too dangerous to be kept in any other way, and most people easily excuse the worst aspects of their treatment with “they’re tough enough to take it” or “it’s the only way to keep them tame”.

-Vampires see humans as something to be feared and respected. Through selective breeding, only the weakest, most compliant ones still exist, and those that are kept in the breeding pool fully believe that it’s their place to be underneath humans. They’re well aware that disobedience will get them killed, and know very well that they have to obey and play nice or risk being put down. Many of them are outright afraid of humans, since they know all too well the kinds of things that happen when one gets mad. Many are even happy to be with an owner that actually takes care of them. 

-Humans that don’t own vampires are split between those that just don’t have one, and those that are actively made uncomfortable by the practice. Those that just don’t have one see those that do as we see people with dogs or cats; a normal part of society that they just don’t choose to take part in. Those that don’t like the practice at all are more likely to view it as how we see exotic pets like tigers and monkeys; unsafe and probably a bad idea to mess with. 

Human Au Designs: Part 2

 Admin Mawile: Aaaaand the flu came back. So sorry to ya’ll that this took so long to get posted, but I’ve been feeling pretty gross for the past week OAO I’m a very tired Admin… 

My human Au designs for the Mukami and Tsukinami are below!

Part 1 Link

image

(No idea why this one scanned crooked… )

Mukami Ruki:

-Very, very responsible, with a cool, collected personality and a desire to have control at all times. More or less the surrogate mom of his brothers. 

-His parents were wealthy business people who’s fortune was lost in a bad investment. His parents gave up custody of him after they decided they could no longer provide for him properly in their home. 

-The orphanage was still an absolute nightmare, just more neglectful instead of outright torturous. Ruki wasn’t branded, but he had in stamped in his papers that he’s a troublemaker, which made it very hard for him to find a home. 

-He’s very insistent on taking care of his family, and can’t stand to be away from his brothers. They’re his real family now, and he’s impossibly attached. 

-His hair is mostly the same as in canon, if a bit shorter and spikier. He’s very careful with his appearance, and tries to look neat at all times. 

-Clothing wise, he wears semi-formal, proper things that fit him well and flatter his appearance. He’s very conscious of how he looks, and makes an effort to be presentable and well dressed whenever others can see him. 

image

Mukami Kou:

-His personality is still two faced, but much less dramatic a change than in canon. He’s sort of a dark person, but hides it under a cutesy exterior. 

-As a child abandoned by his family, he spent most of his life in the orphanage, and can’t remember his parents. He was neglected and treated very strictly there, but nowhere near to the extent of what happened in canon. 

-He’s still an idol, but much less famous than his canon counterpart. He was recruited for his cute face and good voice, and adores what fame he has. 

-He still believes in give and take, and has a hard time accepting that anyone can be nice to him if they don’t want something in return. He has major trust issues due to abandonment, and only truly trusts his brothers. 

-Longer, fluffier hair than in canon, that he styles to be as fashionable and cute as possible. He no longer wears a ponytail (since he doesn’t have the magic eye), but takes great care to always look his best for his fans. 

-His clothing style is cutesy and mostly pink and black. He has an image to maintain, and is very picky about what brands he wears. 

image

Mukami Yuuma:

-He’s a loud, aggressive, straightforward person who hates pretense and complicated things. A bit dim, he tends to solve problems with strength instead of reason, and is determined to take care of his family. 

-His parents were in an accident when he was young (shortly after moving away from a certain friend), and he wound up in the orphanage after that. 

-He doesn’t remember Shuu because of the trauma he suffered when losing his family, and has blocked out a lot of his childhood for the same reason. 

-Was part of a street gang during his orphanage years, at least until Ruki made him quit. He’s very good at getting close to people and making friends, and his honest, blunt personality wins people over well. 

-He has longer hair than in canon, and wears it in a similar messy ponytail. He rarely brushed it, preferring to just tie it up and keep it out of his way.

-Fashion wise, his style is casual and simple, things that won’t get in his way while gardening or give him any trouble to pick out. He wears mostly plain things, and goes through a lot of clothes thanks to rips and tears. 

image

Mukami Azusa:

-With a highly gentle and quiet personality, people expect him to be a doormat. He’s actually highly aggressive and pushy, and almost always gets his way. 

-He was abandoned by his family when he was a baby, and had spent his entire life in the orphanage before Karlheinz adopted them. He’s never known family before his brothers, and had been bullied and neglected terribly. 

-He’s still a total masochist, although what he can do is a bit limited because he’s just a human. He loves being hurt and sees pain as love and acceptance, and still has an ongoing self harm hobby. 

-More shy than he is as a vampire, Azusa tends to stay out of the way unless he wants something. He’s horribly afraid of being demanding and getting thrown away because of it. 

-His hair is shorter than in canon, and he wears it in a cropped fluffy cut that takes very little effort to maintain. He tends to forget to take care of himself. 

-As far as clothing goes, he likes soft, comfortable things that he can stay warm in. He’s very skinny and gets cold easily, and wears a lot of sweaters and soft shirts because of this. He likes dark colors, especially red and blue. 

image

Tsukinami Carla:

-He’s a stern, cold person much like in canon, but his softer side isn’t hidden anywhere near as deeply as it if for his First Blood self. 

-Gentle and soft hearted by nature, he’s had to train himself to be cold for the sake of taking over the family business. He was abused by his father throughout his youth, and forces himself to be cold and tough. 

-He’s chronically ill with an unidentified condition, and suffers from all kinds of symptoms that make even basic functioning nearly impossible. 

-Originally from a highly wealthy family, after his mother passed away from illness, his father made poor choices and lost everything, later abandoning the family. Shin is the only one left that he can rely on, especially while he’s ill. 

-His hair is longer than in canon, and he usually wears it in a long, loose ponytail that goes almost to his waist. He hasn’t cut it since he was a child. 

-His fashion is very formal and proper, and her wears mostly neutral colors that compliment his looks. He’s very vain, and makes a massive effort to present himself well, even when his sickness has him nearly bedridden. 

image

Tsukinami Shin:

-He’s highly aggressive and gets himself into trouble constantly, mostly for acting out and starting fights. Carla is honestly ashamed of him for it. 

-Instead of losing his eye, he just got a nasty scar over it when he was younger. The scar came from a fight he picked with the wrong person, from which Carla had to negotiate to rescue him from. 

-Horribly stubborn, he does exactly what he wants regardless of what anyone thinks. He’s a troublesome boy, and can never stay off of someone’s bad side.

-He looks up to Carla above all, and has a highly close, respectful relationship with him. He lacks the hatred that his canon self feels for his brother, and cares so much for Carla than he’s given up almost everything to take care of him. 

-His hair is longer than it is in canon, and is worn in a loose uncombed style that he thinks makes him look cool and tough. 

-The style that he wears can best be described as edgy. He thinks the things he wears look cool, but few others would agree. He wears mostly dark colors, and many, many things that have wolf motifs on them. 

hi there, could i request tips on taking care of a pet au!azusa? i love both of your work a lot and thank you in advance♡♡

Admin Mawile: ( ・ω・)ノ This was really fun to write!

-Don’t let him talk you into hurting him. As much as he wants it, you can get a lot farther with him by being kind. He’ll get used to not being hurt eventually, and can learn other ways of being shown care. 

-Affection will very nearly break him. He’s completely used to only being shown “appreciation” through pain, and genuine kindness will practically make him shut down. Be patient and nice to him, and he’ll learn how to adjust. 

-He’ll eat himself sick if you let him, so monitor how much he gets to eat. He’s not used to having food, and will eat anything he’s given. 

-All of his scars can be pretty painful at times. As much as he claims to like it, learn the signs and help him when he’s hurting. He’ll be eternally grateful for the care, even if he claims to be fine with the pain. 

-He’s likely to try to hide how much pain he’s in in the hopes you’ll hurt him more. Make it very clear that you always expect the truth from him. 

-Attention and praise rule him more than anything. If you’re good to him, he’ll do anything you say without the slightest hesitation. 

-You’ll probably have to work on his confidence. He sees himself as worthless unless he’s being hurt, and will need a lot of kindness and reassurance to ever see himself in any other way. 

-It’s unlikely that he’ll express his needs and wants for fear of being a burden, and you’ll be wise to learn to ask him what he needs from you.

Hi there! I love this blog so, so much! Would I be able to request a scenario of Reiji from the pet au getting complemented by his owner? Thank you!

Admin Mawile: ( ゚▽゚)/

-”You’re really pretty amazing, you know that?”

Those words coming out of your mouth were enough to make Reiji’s brain nearly shut down for a moment. He’d never been praised by a human before, especially not so casually, as if it wasn’t nothing short of glorious.  

You were still smiling at him, one hand gently ruffling his hair, and it was all at once quite possibly the best moment of his life. 

After years and years of doing everything possible to be good, someone was finally recognizing it. You’d been kind before, but this was almost too much. 

“Thank you,” he said, as politely as possible, since you allowed him to speak. 

It meant the world to him that someone was willing to acknowledge how hard he worked to be good for them, and that one line of praise was enough to cement his loyalty to you forever. 

How would the S & M brothers react to a s/o that is essentially a living doll? Like one of Kanato’s brides but their soul is still attached to it so they can move and speak like a normal person? I hope this makes sense…

Admin Mawile: (。・∀・)ノ

Shuu: He honestly doesn’t care a bit. You are what you are, and it’s not like him fussing over it will make a bit of difference. He just ignores it. 

Reiji: He’s rather fascinated in how exactly you work, and spends quite a bit of time trying to figure out what exactly keeps you functioning. 

Ayato: He’s honestly a bit uncomfortable with the whole doll thing (it makes him feel like Kanato), and he mostly tries to forget that it’s a thing. 

Kanato: He’s nothing short of delighted with his very special doll, and if anything, like you more because of your resemblance to his toys 

Laito: He’s really only interested in one thing about the situation, and mostly bothers you with stupid, intrusive questions about how you work. 

Subaru: He’s mostly worried that if he does something to hurt you you’d never heal, and has at least a couple moments of massive anxiety from it. 

Ruki: He doesn’t particularly care about what you are. You’re obviously good enough to be his belonging, and that’s all that really matters. 

Kou: He’s fascinated with how you work and move, and spends way too much time bothering you with pointless, invasive questions and comments. 

Yuuma: It doesn’t matter a bit that you’re… that. You’re his partner, and he’ll treat you exactly the same as he would a regular human. 

Azusa: He thinks you’re pretty close to perfect no matter what you are, and there’s no talking him out of acting like you’re the best person ever. 

How would the s&m&t bois react to an s/o who is actually just submissive and loving to them and they never have a reason to punish?

Admin Mawile; (*´∇`)ノ

Shuu:

-He’s glad that he doesn’t have to bother with putting you in your place, and mostly lazes around and demands things of you. Since you’re so compliant, there’s no reason not to mess with you by forcing you to feed him and spoil him, and he thinks it’s downright cute how you always rush to please. 

Reiji:

-He’s highly pleased that you already show the first signs of being a decent partner, and especially that he won’t have to do any more to train you than get your manners up his standards. You definitely have some potential as a long term partner, and he’ll make good use of that prospective quality. 

Ayato:

-He gets a little bit bored of you not fighting back, and comes up with creative ways to punish you anyway just so he has something fun to do. He honestly prefers a partner with a little bit of fight in them, although having someone around who worships his every move isn’t bad at all. 

Kanato:

-You’re the ideal doll, and he takes full advantage of how obedient and manipulable you are. He’s demanding and cruel, doing everything possible to isolate you from the world and make sure that you have eyes only for him. He can’t possibly let someone as wonderful as you get away. 

Laito:

-He has a bit of preference for people that are fun to corrupt, and if you’re too obedient and willing, he’ll get bored. He likes breaking people and finding unique things when he gets inside their heads, and you’ll have to give him some kind of challenge, or risk losing his interest altogether. 

Subaru:

You’re too good for him. Your perfect behavior, if anything, intimidates him a little, leaving him feeling like you’re something pure that he’s just going to corrupt. He has a long mental battle deciding if he can live with himself for putting you in the danger of just being near him. 

Ruki:

-You’re basically the ideal partner for him, with little need to be trained or forced to obey. Livestock should always know their place as you do, and he’s very pleased with how obedient and easy to mold you are. Perhaps he won’t actually need to punish you too often, since you try so hard. 

Kou:

-He gets a bit bored of how you do whatever he says, but since you’re willing to accept every pattern he depends on to make the world make sense, he decides that you’re not so bad. It’s still fun to mess with someone as sweet and you, and you’re not a bad partner to be seen in public with at all. 

Yuuma:

-He gets used to you being such a doormat pretty quickly, even if it does irritate him a bit that you always do exactly what he says. He’ll complain a little that you’re too easy to push around, but is actually pretty okay with having someone he can completely control and do as he pleases with. 

Azusa:

-As long as you’re willing to hurt him, the two of you will get along fabulously. He’ll come to see you as the sweetest person on the planet, and become nearly as devoted to you as you are to him. He’s still pushy, yes, but he’d do almost anything you say in return for how kind you are to him. 

Carla:

-He’s visibly happy about having a partner who knows how to obey, and treats you much better than he would someone who resists. He’s still cold and cruel, but definitely shows some mercy to someone who he has no reason to need to punish, especially since you have done nothing but be good. 

Shin:

-He definitely makes fun of how soft you are, and uses your obedience to get away with doing horrible things to you. When you continue to love him just as much he starts to get confused, and eventually mellows out a bit thanks to the attention of someone who will always praise him for how he is. 

Can I request a fluffy scenario of child au Ayato crying to himself because he failed at something and caretaker cuddles and comforts him

Admin Mawile: (,, ・∀・)ノ゛

-Even with your attention all on him, Ayato felt like a failure. 

He didn’t deserve to be held and talked to so gently. If you were like Her, you would have known to punish him for messing up. 

Even though you were kind, he still somehow expected to be beaten or hurt or thrown away. It just wasn’t natural for him to be able to get away with messing up so badly, and yet, you were holding him like it was some kind of reward. 

Still sniffling, Ayato tried to hide his face in your chest. He didn’t want to face the situation any more than he wanted to admit he’d failed. 

But you were still so gentle, rubbing one kind hand up and down his back like there was nothing to be angry about. 

It just wasn’t fair to be treated so lovingly.
