I’m on my phone so I can’t read the rules so hopefully this is fine. Do you do reactions for the Pet AU? I kinda wanna know what would be their reaction if they actually got adopted. If you don’t then feel free to ignore this. Love ur blog

Admin Mawile: (๑ゝω╹๑) Your request is fine!! And thank you so much!!! 

Shuu:

-There’s endless relief at being saved from veritable death row, but the longer he thinks about what kind of person would want a pet with his history of laziness and faults, the more nervous he becomes. 

Reiji:

-Of course he did! He’s done everything to be the best pet possible, of course someone finally found him worth buying. Inside, he’s so relieved he could cry. He won’t be put down, he won’t die for being useless

Ayato:

-A sort of happy-shock, ecstatic that all his work and training and good breeding could finally pay off, but still wondering what kind of person was willing to look past his age and other flaws. 

Kanato:

-Literally crying with joy, thinking of all the ways he can please them and avoid further pain. He can be good, he can be so good, and whoever’s adopting him will have to be happy enough to not want to hurt him anymore. 

Laito:

-Happy, but worried about the all new traumas he knows could be coming. Humans are cruel, and while having an owner saves him from certain death, but owners can do things even more painful if he’s not good enough. 

Subaru:

-He’s somewhere between amazed and terrified. Subaru can’t believe anyone would want him, but considering his status as unsafe to adopt, whoever has must be one of the illegal, feared fighting rings or some kind of hard labor. 

Ruki:

-If his brothers aren’t safe, he’d do anything to escape or be thrown out again. Even if it’s a good home, he couldn’t live happily while the others are alone on the streets. He’d rather die with them than live knowing that he left them.  

Kou:

Scared half to death. Humans have never done anything but hurt him. Being taken into one of their homes just means whoever has him is going to have all the power and resources they need to hurt him even more. 

Yuuma:

-He’s in a state of disbelief, unable to understand what would make an owner want him. Unless they’re just going to work him to death or use him in fights, make use of his strength for the rest of the short life he’d have. 

Azusa:

-He’s happy, so happy to be wanted and have a home, but owners are still so scary. If they don’t like him, he could be forgotten about, locked up or thrown away and never wanted again. 

Carla:

-What if they weren’t told about his illness? If he, a precious First Blood, turns out to be such a disappointment to an owner, and was still stuck with them, the slow death he’s succumbing to would be nothing in comparison. 

Shin:

-Being saved from death row is wonderful, but after the incident with his eye, he’s more than wary of any new owners. He has to be good, good enough that they can’t justify hurting him any more. 

the pet au makes me sad ! ( ; o ;) especially Subaru cause he’s my boyyy, so how would Subaru feel if he was rescued, like by someone who is against the mistreatment of pets and wants to keep him safe, someone who treats him gently

Admin Mawile:(๑✧∀✧๑)The aus are meant to hurt ya’ll~ In a fun way lol

-If the person is against treating him like a pet, even if they’re kind, he won’t take to it very well. He’s so set in the idea of his only worth being as someone’s pet that being treated otherwise would seem like he’s just being thrown away, of no use to anyone if his one purpose gets taken away from him. 

An owner who is still that, just kinder than the usual sort would go over much better, although that still isn’t saying much. Subaru has been marked as useless for more of his life than not, he’s going to be stuck in the same concepts of worth and value no matter how kindly he’s treated. He’d be terrified, sure that this new, seemingly gentle owner is just faking, hiding something awful and cruel until they think he’s off guard. Nothing is going to change his thinking immediately, only that sort of kindness for years could begin to erase what a lifetime of training has made him believe. 

I have a question for all the Sakamaki brothers: What is the most annoying thing someone can do? Thank you for your time!

Admin Mawile: (/ ‘з’)/

Shuu:

-Waking him up, being too noisy, not letting him sleep, the list goes on. Shuu doesn’t care what you do as much as some of his brothers might, but if you disturb his sleep in any way, it’s an almost guaranteed route to his ire. Siding with Reiji is the only other thing that comes close.

Reiji:

-His list of annoyances is a mile long and so perfectionistic it’s almost unbelievable. From not showing him enough respect, to making tea incorrectly, there are a thousand things that can anger him. Of all of them, though, intentionally causing him trouble and extra work is probably the worst.

Ayato:

-Ayato is pretty short-tempered, and takes offence at all kinds of seemingly harmless behavior, but the worst thing to him would have to be making fun of him or openly disrespecting him. He’s the best, got it? Any words or actions that imply anything else won’t be tolerated. 

Kanato:

-Really, what doesn’t annoy him? If you so much as breathe wrong, Kanato will find some way to be angry about it. Anything and everything can set him off, with no more warning than what kind of mood he’s in. Any harm to Teddy makes him the angriest, but that’s more of a death sentence than an annoyance. 

Laito:

-Laito is a lot less unaffected than he usually lets on, but even so, he doesn’t tend to get annoyed at minor slights. It’s more fun to laugh them off… then surprise the offender with a little torture later. About the only thing that makes him visibly angry is any kind of contest to his constructed world view.

Subaru:

-His annoyance is frequent and violent, most often brought on by something as simple as minor distress. Subaru’s main reaction to anything he doesn’t like or want to deal with is rage, so it’s absurdly easy to annoy him. Don’t push too far, though, or you’ll be stuck with one violent vampire. 

Hi, could you possibly do some Reiji boyfriend headcanons? Thank you ^_^

Admin Mawile: ♡⃛ヾ(๑❛ ▿ ◠๑ )

-He likes to micromanage your life down to the tiniest choices. Not only so that you might come a little closer to meeting his ridiculously high (and always rising) standards, but to grasp every little bit of control over you he can. He’ll always rebuke you for giving him so much extra work, but Reiji seems to genuinely enjoy making your choices for you. 

-You’ll be getting countless lessons on what he deems proper behavior. Reiji won’t stand for a partner who makes him look bad, and no matter how long it takes (and how much you suffer) you will be whipped into shape. Sometimes literally, And you’d better be grateful for it; his time is precious, and yet he chooses to spend it improving you. 

-And yet, Reiji manages to be strangely, remarkably affectionate. You may not always notice it (or realize that what he’s doing is his form of affection), but he takes every subtle, carefully concealed opportunity for closeness with you. Of course, he’d never be blatant about enjoying your love so much, but should he ever become mentally compromised enough to let his cautiousness slip, you’ll see first hand just how much he cares. 

Hello~ I saw you mention a “bonding instinct” in one of your Xeno AU posts and I was wondering if I could find out more about it, like what are the other ways to trigger it, is it something that happens often among vampires and how could it be broken? Thanks :)

Admin Mawile: (*゚∀゚*)

-Vampire society is a cruel place. Finding another who doesn’t intend to do some kind of harm is a sadly rare occasion, especially in the olden days, when vampires were likely to prey upon each other. So, in order to keep the rare person who had intentions of kindness around, an instinct developed. The bonding instinct (also known as attachment instinct) is a powerful, involuntary sense of connection and, well, attachment to a person that treats the vampire well. It’s intended to make them more appealing, someone worth staying near, so that the rare kind soul doesn’t want to leave. 

-The bonding instinct is a very old, very much involuntary instinct; meaning that if it’s going to kick in, the vampire doesn’t have a lot of say in it. It can be stressful to be suddenly and forcibly attached to someone, especially considering the common views of “weakness” being shameful and unacceptable. It’s surprisingly easily triggered, though, even more so among vampires who have experienced little kindness in their lives. All it really takes is genuine affection, the kind of care so uncommon in their world, and from the time it kicks in, it only gets stronger with every bit of positive reinforcement, every further action that proves it to be warranted. 

-Among vampires, it’s fairly rare. Vampires really aren’t nice to each other (the whole reason why the instinct began), and their modern society places undue importance on composure and the avoidance of perceived “weakness”. Showing most instincts, no matter how involuntary they are, is considered shameful, something to tamp down and deny for fear of opening one up to ridicule. Breaking the attachment instinct would be a difficult and painful process, composed mostly of proving once and for all that whoever it was directed to is more of a threat than a provider. Not to mention the stress and mental pain it would cause. Bonding instincts run deep, especially the long-time ones, and breaking one would take a truly awful experience. 

Good luck with NaNoWriMo admin Mawile! I was wondering what do you think the Tsukinamis would look for in an s/o (personality-wise)? Thank you :)

Admin Mawile: ヾ(0∀0*★)゚*・.。 THANK YOU ANON!!! I’m hoping I can make it!

Carla:

-Carla is attracted to someone intelligent, above all. Someone who can keep up with him mentally, and maybe prove to be a challenge once in a while, tough enough that they won’t fall apart under pressure, independent enough not to cling to him as their only protector. He’s more attracted to a self-sufficient person that he won’t have to babysit than someone who hangs on his every word without a personality of their own. Above all, he likes someone who can challenge and interest him, actually keep him guessing instead of being predictable or boring. 

Shin:

-Shin, however, prefers someone who’s more dependent on him, who will look at him like he’s the best thing to ever happen to them and praise his every move. He loves being praised and worshiped, but (although he won’t admit it), a certain degree of dominance goes a long way for him. Someone who’s brave enough to put him in his place once in a while, without damaging his ego. He may be initially more attracted to quiet, submissive people, but in the long run, the main trait that matters is if they can handle him, every violent outburst and poorly thought out decision, every flaw and facet. 

What would happen if the Regular! Diaboys + Yui met the Pet! (+Yui) and Xeno! Diaboys (and their Yui of she has any differences) at once. What would everyone’s reaction towards each other?

Admin Mawile:╰(・∇・╰)

Yui:

-Yui is more than a little horrified of what’s become of her tormentors in this universe. They may have been cruel, but does any creature deserve to be treated so horribly? It seems that the most her other self can do to help is volunteer to pick up the pieces. 

-Pet Au!Yui can hardly believe there’s a world where vampires prey upon humans. As sickening as their treatment is, the creatures she’s known seem hardly capable of such violent measures. Couldn’t there be a world where both sides get along, without one oppressing the other?

Shuu:

-This version of himself is wrong. He couldn’t be that broken, could he? Shuu has seen and felt his share of misery, but the look of sheer torment in his own eyes jabs at something inside of him that aches. It’s wrong, it’s so wrong, and Shuu would most rather go back to sleep and pretend this never existed. 

-There are differences, yes, but to Pet Au!Shuu, he and his alternate universe counterpart are very similar. He can’t imagine acting so bold or antagonistic, but the desire to go to sleep and never wake up, to escape the unbearable life he’s stuck in is the same in both of them, to him. 

Reiji:

-The sight of himself, a pitiful, desperate wreck almost makes Reiji physically ill. All the worst parts of himself, the most shameful fears that he’s done nothing but bury and hide, are all displayed in this creature’s eyes so plainly, so openly, it’s beyond painful to even be near. 

-Pet Au!Reiji is both amazed and sickened by his other self. He’d never imagined he could look so… composed, have such perfect control over his visible self. But at the same time, this other him is doing so little with the home and safety he has, wasting the chance that this Reiji would die for. 

Ayato:

-Ayato couldn’t be more horrified. This version of himself brings back all the worst memories of a time when he was just as afraid, memories that he’d much rather never have to think of again. All Ayato wants to do is stay far away from this ruined, miserable self. 

-Pet Au!Ayato is somewhere between shocked and horribly envious. This alternate universe version of himself is loud, arrogant, rude, everything that he would have been beaten or killed for. It’s wrong, it’s horrible, but he can’t help but covet that kind of freedom. 

Kanato:

-Seeing himself acting like a broken little doll is disturbing in all the wrong ways. It’s his own face with such a miserable, pitiful look on it, and Kanato can hardly stand it. He’d shove his alternate universe self away in an instant, a little too aware of the last time he himself had such an expression. 

-Pet Au!Kanato hardly resisters that what he’s seeing is real. He’s convinced it’s just another hallucination, brought on by exhaustion and pain. He’d never dare make such an angry, disrespectful face, especially not where a human could see it and enact punishment. 

Laito:

-Laito sees things in his alternate universe self that he’s been trying to suppress for decades, and it does not sit well. Something about the vulnerable, broken look in his eyes is sickening, and he can’t stand looking at this pathetic “him” for long. 

-Pet Au!Laito can’t believe he could ever be so… carefree. His alternate self smiles and laughs and truly makes it seem like nothing’s wrong, something he himself could never quite manage, and yet, there’s a matching deep in this one’s eyes too, an exact parallel of his own. 

Subaru:

-His first reaction is rage. Seeing himself a veritable mirror of the pain and anxiety that’s always boiled deep within him is unbearable. Subaru would yell, fly into his usual violent behavior, anything not to think about the anguish is his, no, that thing’s eyes. 

-Pet Au! Subaru reacts much the same. Violence, anger, anything to cover up how distressed he is at the sight of a double. Although, he understands why this one hates him so much, as pathetic, worthless as he is, no wonder even himself doesn’t want anything to do with him. 

Ruki:

-He’s repulsed, sickened. As if the brands weren’t bad enough, seeing what may as well be himself, covered in scars and with a broken look Ruki never would have thought himself capable of. He’d thought he trained himself out of such weak reactions, but a fresh wave of nausea and pain surge at the sight. 

-Pet Au!Ruki can see that even though this him isn’t anywhere near as ruined, they’re more similar than either of them want to think about. Seeing his every weakness reflected back at him like a mirror is beyond unpleasant, the look of shock and terror in his double’s eyes bringing back painful memories. 

Kou:

-The sight of this destroyed version of himself sends Kou into a near panic attack. He can feel it, all at once, upon looking at “himself”, all the memories of his torture come flooding back with a vengeance. Possibly the worst of all are the two dark holes where this self’s fangs should have been. 

-Chances are Pet Au!Kou would be hardly lucid enough to really take in his alternate universe self. He’d most likely see it as another nightmare, a vision sent to taunt him with everything he’s lost. The sickened expression on his other’s face just proves he’s here to torment. 

Yuuma:

-It’s… bizarre. No matter how Yuuma looks at it, a him that’s quiet and out of the way just doesn’t make any sense. So he tells himself it isn’t real, that there’s no way this pitiful apparition could ever be him. (Better that, than think about where all those unfamiliar scars could have come from.) 

-Pet Au!Yuuma is well and truly jealous. This alternate universe version of himself has everything he ever wanted and then some. He can’t quite bring himself to act on it (lashing out against someone stronger is a death sentence, he knows), but the anger won’t quit churning. 

Azusa:

-His first thought is how much pain this other self must have been through, and how much he wishes it could have been him instead. But, if this person is really him, than isn’t he pleased to have hurt so much? For someone who gets to have pain every day, he doesn’t seem very happy. 

-While Pet Au!Azusa loves pain just as much as his counterpart, there are some kinds that aren’t good at all. This him understands the good hurt like no one else has, but… there’s something different, his attitude too pushy, he can’t make a very good pet like that… 

Carla:

-Carla can’t tell whether he’s angry or horrified. There’s something so wrong (familiar) about the pained, broken look in his double’s eyes. He can’t be this, he can’t, there’s no way he could ever look so weak. Carla doesn’t stick around long, unable to even look his other self in the eye. 

-Pet Au!Carla has a similar, but much more subdued reaction. There’s a sense of horror, that this can’t be him, followed up by the sickening revelation that even in a world where he’s more than a pricey pet, he’s still doomed to die from the same disease, still falling victim to the same flaws. 

Shin:

-First and foremost, it’s infuriating. How can he possibly look so weak?! It’s wrong, it’s disgusting! But then, Shin sees the holes where fangs should be, the grotesque scars around his eyes, and everything crashes down. Then it’s not anger he’s feeling, but some awful mix of terror and nausea. 

-This “him” got to live as a prince, huh? If he hadn’t had it beaten out of him before, Pet Au!Shin would be fuming. But he’s been trained, he knows better than to get angry with a superior by now, so he bows his head and looks away as his vicious double hurls insults.

Can I get some Yuma headcanon? Fluffy ofc.

Admin Mawile: .+:。(ノ・ω・)ノ゙

-Nothing makes him more proud of himself than insuring that his brothers and s/o are well fed. No matter how stable Yuuma’s food supply may be now, he all too clearly remembers a time when no next meal was guaranteed. Seeing his most important people safe and taken care of with food he worked hard to provide gives Yuuma a sense of security and accomplishment that nothing else can compare to. 

-Gentleness is far from his strong suit, but Yuuma makes a few special exceptions. His brothers (even Ruki, on his bad days) need and deserve the nicest he can be, even if he’s not very good at it, even his best efforts always coming off as more awkward and unsure than gentle or comforting. 

-Yuuma and the cold do not mix. He can tolerate even the hottest summer days with relative ease, but chilly weather is another matter entirely. Vampires in general don’t do so well in the cold, but Yuuma’s intolerance goes all the way back to his human days (and has gotten much worse than it was back then). Frigid temperatures leave him frustratingly lethargic, as drained and miserable as his precious plants. 

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.
