I just have a question about the Sakamakis! From everything they went through as children, you’d think they’d be a little more empathetic/sympathetic to other people who remind them of how they were. I know it’s bad but as they are in the anime, they seem to be like their parents. My sister pointed out that if you merge all the triplets together, you almost get Cordelia perfectly. What’s your thoughts on it? With this, the boys seem really hypocritical to me :/

Admin Mawile: (*´･д･)ﾉ

-Well, it’s pretty common for people to turn out like their parents. Abusive and horrible or not, that kind of treatment is all the boys have ever known. It doesn’t surprise me that they can’t figure out any better way of acting; they’ve only been exposed to cruelty and abuse their whole lives, so how would they understand how to be any different? Also, vampire society seems to have a problem with being “nice”, and it seems unlikely that they would have been taught in any way how to be anything but mean. They might be sympathetic to people who have suffered like they have, but they definitely don’t know how to show it in any way.

So what if there was a bride sacrificed with the boys in the Human au? Do you think the boys would develop feelings? How would Yui treat her? I love the Human au so much tbh it’s so interesting!

Admin Mawile: (＾◇＾）ノ

-If there was a bride sacrificed with the boys, she would probably become “one of the group” in some ways. Caught in the same situation as them, it would be easy to relate to her and make friends, the shared misery bringing them together. Considering that the boys are masochists at heart, though, they’re more likely to fall for the vampire than someone just as trapped as them.

Yui would probably treat the girl just the same as the boys. She’d still be a human offered up for food and entertainment, and considering that Yui is already about as kind to humans as a vampire can be, so there probably wouldn’t be much difference in how the girl is treated.

TALK XENO AU TO ME. ALL OF IT. I NEED IT OR I WILL DIEEEE

Admin Mawile: o(*ﾟ∇ﾟ)ﾉ I really love talking about xeno, so you’re in luck!

-Vampire society is entirely unlike that of humans. Weakness and personal connections are practically banned, and it’s considered strange and dangerous to allow anyone, even a partner or close friend, to see a vampire at anything less than full strength. Vampires are vicious, territorial, aggressive creatures, and the only way they can keep each other from picking off the weak among them (and the only way to hold together some semblance of a society), is to impose strict rules on what is and is not appropriate. Affection and love are generally seen as human concepts, things to be dabbled in for fun, but never to commit one’s full self to for fear of exposing too much weakness.

-Thus, over time, many instincts and involuntary reactions have become things of shame. The bonding instinct, which evolved to form real relationships in a world of vicious monsters, became a sign of the inherent weakness no vampire can truly get rid of, something to be quashed down and hidden away. Any kind of weakness, any kind of vulnerability is banned from the public light, and even something as soft as allowing a partner to see one’s weak side is considered shameful and wrong. Only humans do things like that, and aren’t vampires superior to humans in every way?

Actually, how tall were all the boys when they were 12-13 years old?

Admin Mawile: (●ゝ∀･)ﾉ These are really just approximations, but I tried to take their canon heights into consideration, as well as who might have had a late growth spurt.

Shuu: 5′4

Reiji: 5′6

Ayato: 5′3

Kanato: 5′1

Laito: 5′3

Subaru: 5′4

Ruki: 5′3

Kou: 5′2

Yuuma: 5′8

Azusa: 5′3

Carla: 5′9

Shin: 5′4

For the Human AU,I was wondering with the situation the boys are in,would they be more willing to help each other out and actually act more human towards one another now when they actually are human?Their pasts are still messed up but in the vampire society they lived in it didn’t really matter because of the lack of morals and human emotions,now though when they grew up as humans,would they treat each other more like family(the Sakamakis especially) and genuinely care and support their family?

Admin Mawile: (,, ･∀･)ﾉ゛

-Yes, the boys are much more helpful towards each other. There’s nowhere near as much internal strife as the vampire world breeds, and human empathy also has a huge impact on how they feel towards each other.

The Sakamaki still have a rather messed up dynamic. They’ve still been pitted against each other as heirs, albeit to a much lesser extent, and they all still have familial issues keeping them apart. They’re much closer than they are in canon, though, and much more willing to help each other and at least try to forge decent familial connections. The triplets are especially close, with Shuu and Reiji still having a tense relationship, and Subaru being something of an outsider to the others.

The Mukami are as close as can be, considering each other real brothers, and doing everything possible to help each other out and make sure all of their family is okay. They’re probably the closest, and have a much more healthy relationship than the other families. They’ve all been through some horrible things together, and it would be stupid for them not to be close after everything that’s happened.

The Tsukinami are also highly close, but the fall of their family and the strain of Carla’s illness has made things a bit tense between them. As much as Shin cares for his brother, he can’t help but resent Carla for falling ill in such a trying time, and definitely holds a bit of a grudge. They’re still highly willing to help each other, though, and Carla especially does his best to look out for his little brother in times of trouble.

in the Human AU would the boys ever team up and try to escape? also if they did (or if they just attempted it on their own) which ones would be most likely to succeed?

Admin Mawile: (ヾ(´・ω・｀)

-Even if they teamed up, it would be pretty much impossible for the boys to escape. As we’re shown when Yui tries to leave in canon, vampires have all kinds of ways of keeping their prey where they want it. If they weren’t hunted down directly, a familiar could find them in no time. Some of the less aware boys might try to escape at some point (Ayato, Shin, Kou), but as soon as their attempts were quickly thwarted, most of them wouldn’t dare to try again. None of them are very likely to succeed, even if they did team up to try it.

In the Human AU, which of the boys are most likely to end up falling in love with the vampire reader/Yui? Would any of them definitely never fall in love with someone who put them in the position they’re in?

Admin Mawile: (*´∀`*)

-Well, in this Au, the boys fulfill Yui’s former role… including being Do-M. They’re all masochistic to some degree, and would definitely be able to fall in love with the vampire keeping them captive. Of course, there are varying degrees of difficulty to breaking through bad attitudes and childhood trauma to get to the sort of person that would fall in love. They all still have extreme issues, and, like their canon counterparts, have to work through a lot of problems before they can really form the proper kinds of emotional connections needed to love someone.

What disease does Carla have in the Human AU, since he can’t have Endzeit (for obvious reasons)? And if he and Shin are only distant relatives to the Sakamakis, why does Karlheinz have the power to just give them away to vampires? Is he their legal guardian or something? Or did he just kidnap them?

Admin Mawile: (⌒▽⌒)ゞ Thank you for the questions!

-Carla is chronically ill with an unidentified illness that gives him a wide variety of awful symptoms (Pretty much the same as what I headcanon the Endzeit doing to him). He’s not fatally ill, though, and is instead just pretty miserable. He has to live with Shin because he tends to be too exhausted to properly take care of himself.

-The Tsukinami boys are from formerly wealthy family that (secretly thanks to Karlheinz’s influence) experienced massive stock troubles and lost every bit of wealth they had. Their father fled the country to avoid his financial troubles, and their mother died soon after of stress and grief induced illness. Carla and Shin live together because Carla’s illness makes it hard for him to live on his own, and both of them dream of restoring their family to its former glory. Karlheinz and his family are the only relatives they have.

-And has for how Karl handed them over to the vampires, he claimed to be giving them over, but most likely either offered them a chance at rebuilding their family or threatened/tricked them into it. For all the vampires know, Karlheinz was just throwing in a little more in evening out his debts, but he actually had to resort to some pretty tricky business to make it work.

Human Au! Cool! So how about backstory or personality? (You can choose which one（⌒▽⌒)) Is Yui sadistic or she’s the same sweet Yui. What about the brothers (S,M, and T) they still the same of their different personality wise. Sorry if I’m asking too many questions and keep up with the good work!! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ Sends hugs and kisses

Admin Mawile: ヽ(　･∀･)ﾉ

-Backstory wise, once again, everything is Karlheinz’s fault. In this Au, he’s a successful businessman who made deals with vampires to attain his goals, and now that he’s become successful, he has to pay the vampires back. In order to get rid of his debt, he offers his seven biological sons, four adopted sons, and two distant relatives to the vampire king. The vampire king agrees, and hands the boys over to his child, who lives alone in the mansion in the human world, for their entertainment and feeding. The boys are sent to live there, and soon find out that they’re intended to be the prey of a deadly vampire.

-Yui is the sadistic one in this Au! Shes still sweet, by vampire standards at least, but she has a sadistic side that comes out around mere prey. She’ll treat them a lot better than they treated her in canon, yes, but as Yui’s role is also meant to be the readers’, requests that are sent in can change exactly how nice you are to them. Yui/reader definitely has the advantage now, and you could easily get away with doing things that the canon boys would have killed you for.

-The boys are much softer than they are as vampires, and their backstories have been toned down slightly to fit in with human culture better. They’re still horribly messed up, but with little power in the situation (and some secret Do-M sides), it’s not like they have much of a chance at fighting back. They’re a lot weaker than they are in canon, physically and mentally, and in no way do they stand a chance against the vampire that they’ve been forced to live with. They’re also stuck in the submissive roles in this situation, and like Yui in canon, all have some kind of Do-M side.

What do you think all the boys’ true ages are?

Admin Mawile: ≡(*′▽`)っHonestly, my best guess would be that their aging process is somewhere along the lines of one physical year for every 10-20 actual years, making them somewhere between 100-400, depending on exactly what that number is. However while the Sakamakis would be naturally that old, the Mukamis are probably considerably less than that, and the Tsukinamis are probably much older. I’m really not sure how old the boys are implied to be, and this is just speculative guessing.
