For the parental au: how would the first meeting between reader and the boys be? What would the boys’ reaction be?

Admin Mawile: (੭ˊ꒳ˋ)੭✧

Shuu:

-As expected, he doesn’t seem to care too much. Karl has pulled similar things in the past, and it’s going to take a lot more than some human “caretaker” to make him react. He rolls over and goes back to sleep, pointedly ignoring you no matter what you’re supposed to be there for.

Reiji:

-He’s personally affronted by the idea that his father thinks he need someone to keep an eye on him, and is as rude as can be while still being passably polite. It’s obvious that he’s not happy to have you there, and even if he covers it up with measured words, you can tell that he’s bordering on angry.

Ayato:

-After some choice words about his father, he starts pestering you much like he does to Yui in canon. He’s not happy at all with the idea that Karlheinz thinks they need someone to keep an eye on them, and would much rather scare you out of trying before it can become an issue.

Kanato:

-Like Reiji, his polite tone only barely hides the fact that he’s on the verge of threatening you. He makes some rather creepy comments, then starts whispering to Teddy, and you can tell very clearly that the idea of a human caretaker is not one that’s going to go over well with him.

Laito:

-What do you expect? There are going to be some sexual comments/advances and when those don’t work, he switches to laughing about how poorly your time with them is going to go. He seems to find it hilarious that his brothers are probably going to make sure you won’t leave the mansion alive.

Subaru:

-He slams his fist into a wall hard enough to make the roof shake as soon as he figures out what you’re there for, then very clearly threatens you with violence if you don’t stay away from him. He’s about as unfriendly as it gets, and vanished into the mansion not long after trying to scare you off.

Ruki:

-You can tell that he’s bristling at the idea of Karlheinz wanting someone to take care of them, but he doesn’t want to go against his adoptive father, either. He winds up being decently polite, but it’s not hard to tell that he’s seething a bit under the surface, displeased with your presence.

Kou:

-He acts perfectly friendly at first, but it’s all part of his “give and take” plan. Assuming that he’ll be able to use you later if he’s nice to you now, he smiles and plays along. Karlheinz had to have a reason for sending you, even if it’s not something stupid like them needing a caretaker.

Yuuma:

-He makes it very clear from the beginning that none of them need someone to take care of them (he says while yanking Azusa away from you), and remains standoffish for a long time to come. He’s not used to trusting adults, and even a human like you is little exception when it comes to his history.

Azusa:

-Do you… want… to cut… him? That’s pretty much the first thing out of his mouth, and if that doesn’t put you off a bit, not much will. Azusa is friendly, yes, but in the same way that a pushy dog is, and he’s all too happy to accept you as the new member of the family. Hopefully one who hurts him.

(Assuming… something, for the Tsukinami situation, because my brain is fried right now and I’m not coming up with anything.)

Carla:

-You’re going to get glared at. Viciously. Carla’s pride does not take well to any implication that he needs help, and he’s going to make it very clear that you are not wanted in the household. He detests the idea of a caretaker, and seems vaguely insulted that you’re even there.

Shin:

-He takes personal offence to someone thinking that he needs to be taken care of, and yells at you on the very first meeting, shortly before doing something violent and laughing about it. He’s pretty much the definition of a problem child (but do not call him that if you value your limbs).

What would it be like if the child Sakamaki brothers were watching a scary movie with mom and they get scared so they go to her for comfort?

Admin Mawile: (*´・ｖ・)

Shuu:

-He’s never dealt with a scary movie before, and it’s probably going to get to him bad. He’s generally a pretty brave kid, but when something does scare him, it ends in him refusing to be alone in the dark for weeks. He sort of tries to act tough, but it’s pretty obvious that he’s seeking out comfort.

Reiji:

-It takes visible effort for him to admit that he’s afraid, and you’ll probably be able to tell that he’s shaken up long before he tells you. Distracting him with a book or just talking to him goes a long way, and it’s best to make sure that he doesn’t feel childish or like a nuisance for needing your attention.

Ayato:

-He hates admitting that he’s scared, and will play tough for as long as possible. When he finally does crack, it’ll probably be through something along the lines of sliding into your bed in the middle of the night and hiding there, stuffed rabbit in his arms even as he still tries to deny that he’s afraid.

Kanato:

-He doesn’t hesitate in the slightest to burst into tears and/or crawl into your lap. He probably is genuinely scared, but at the same time, it’s not like he’s going to miss a chance to get your attention and comfort. He’ll cry for longer than necessary, mostly in an attempt to get you to fuss over him.

Laito:

-He’s more likely to whine about it than anything, but he’ll only go straight to you for comfort if he’s really scared. At that point, you’ll basically have him glued to your waist, sniffling and having a small crying fit over how scary the movie was. There’s no way he’ll sleep by himself that night.

Subaru:

-He doesn’t like admitting that he’s afraid, but he will sit there with an absolutely petrified look on his face. You’ll have to turn off the movie pretty quickly and distract him, otherwise he’ll suffer in silence because he doesn’t want to bother you. And he considers needing comfort to be a bother.

Child Au: mom taking care of Shuu, Reiji, and Ruki when they’re sick?

Admin Mawile: ∪*ゝω･)ﾉ”

Shuu:

-He gets rather whiny when he’s sick, and complains massively about not being able to go out and play. Eventually, he’ll wear himself out complaining, and fall asleep for long to enough to get some actual rest. He’s never had anyone but servants to take care of him when he’s sick, so someone who actually cares is quite the pleasant shock.

Reiji:

-Out of a fear that he’s going to annoy you, he tries to act like he’s fine until he gets so sick that he can barely stay upright. It makes him feel like a nuisance when you have to take care of him, and as nice as it is to have your attention all on him, he can’t help but worry that you’re going to get sick of it. If he gets really sick, he’ll be visibly soaking in whatever attention you give.

Ruki:

-The last time he can remember being taken care of while sick is back when his parents were around, and that alone is more painful than the illness. The sicker he gets, the more he lets on how badly he misses them, and it’s a good idea to pay a lot of attention to him to help ease the pain. He’s well behaved, though, and is willing to rest properly while he’s ill.

What do you think Karlheinz and Richter’s childhood was like? Have a frabjous day!

Admin Mawile: (o゜◇゜)ノ

-In Karlheinz’s case, I would assume that his childhood was a disturbing mixture of spoiled and abusive. On one hand, as the eldest son and heir, he would have been given privileges and authority far beyond his younger brother. I can see him being a bit of a spoiled kid who was doted on and fawned over by relatives who loved him only for his position. On the other hand, I would doubt that he ever received anything resembling genuine love or care. People loved him for what he was, not who, and Karlheinz suffered emotionally from a lack of care or proper guidance. Between being treated like a little prince and being horribly neglected by the people who should have loved him, he grew up with a very twisted view of the world.

-Meanwhile, Richter’s situation would have been a lot like Reiji’s. He would have been trained from birth to be a subordinate to Karlheinz, neglected by his family in favor of his brother, and more or less denied anything resembling attention or praise. The way I see it, he would have been like a shadow in his own home, always overlooked so that Karlheinz could shine. Like Reiji, he would have been unaware of how his older brother suffered too, and slowly developed a warped, bitter mindset in which he believes that he’s doomed to be second best. Richter would have been a painfully lonely child, and probably would have never known what it was like to be wanted. He would have suffered more physical abuse than Karlheinz, too.

May I have some sub au Azusa headcanons or a scenario?

Admin Mawile: (๑꒪▿꒪)*

-He’s more than open about his more submissive tendencies from the very start, and will absolutely pester you about hurting him pretty much as soon as he meets you. He doesn’t really understand how to be polite about these things, and pushes you into hurting him whether you like it or not.

-A large part of interacting with him is getting him to understand that things can’t always be his way, and that he can’t force people who don’t want to to hurt him. You’ll be teaching him a lot of manners, and how to engage in a relationship like he wants in a healthy, mutually beneficial way.

-For all he thinks that pain equates positive attention, he’s never actually had anyone hurt him in a loving way before. Being treated like something precious while you make him hurt is a whole new experience, and one that he falls for hard and fast. Regular pain is nothing like when you do it.

-From there, you have the most loyal, needy sub possible. He’ll practically cling to your clothes and follow you everywhere you go, delighted just to spend time with the person who does such nice things for him. He gets attached to you worryingly fast, and not just for the way that you can hurt him.

Sub AU Question!! Oh my gosh I’m so excited!! What would be their favorite way to be used or broken? For example, does one of them like pet play or getting hit? This is also for all the boys

Admin Mawile: This is not what I meant by short questions really, but it’s a good one, so I put more effort into this than I probably should have…This is really just the beginning of what I could go into, though, because I have lots of ideas and didn’t want to get too carried away here.

Shuu:

-He’s more of the sort to lay back and let you do whatever you want to him… without giving away many signs that he’s into it. It’s easier for him if he can pretend like he’s just humoring you, and drawing some true reactions out of him goes a long way to getting that defensive shell to break. Feeling like he’s at someone’s mercy, that no matter how powerful he is, he’s still choosing to hand it all over to a human does a number on him, so things that make him truly feel like he’s lost all control of himself are the best way to go.

Reiji:

-In his case, he pretty much enjoys what he gives. Corporal punishment is an easy one, but considering his history of being beaten over small mistakes, it’s kind of a psychological minefield. He likes having high expectations put on him, and legitimately pleasing his dom by being good enough is almost worryingly satisfying. He has a very high pain tolerance, and can take just about anything physical you can do to him, so humiliation and psychological methods are highly effective. Feeling absolutely debauched really gets to him.

Ayato:

-He’s definitely quite the brat, and a large part of what works on him is putting him in his place. Having rules and reasonable commands with loving intent behind them does a lot. You have to be careful with pain, as anything that gets too close to what his mother did is dangerous territory. He likes to be denied and put in his place, pushed to the limits of what he can take, and left squirming and needy for you and you alone. Putting some cracks in his ego is tough, but highly effective at getting him to calm down a bit.

Kanato:

-A huge part of submission for him is feeling cared for. It means the world to him to be treated like something small and precious. Strict rules and discipline go a long ways in giving him the structure he’s always needed, but you have to be careful to make sure he always feels loved and wanted through it all. Once he’s at your mercy, it would be easy to something to destroy him even further, and your best bet for making the situation work is to treat him like a little doll who’s helpless before you; yours to love and do as you please with.

Laito:

-As you’d probably expect, he’s highly, highly sexual. He tends to take things way too far way too fast, and something like denial is going to make him more whiny than anything. Basically anything you can do to him arouses him, but the real challenge is navigating the severe trauma lurking below the surface. He’s sensitive to pain (though that’s not to say that he doesn’t like it), and you’ll have to set clear boundaries and rules for him, as well as showing him through your actions that you don’t intend to use him and leave.

Subaru:

-The idea that anyone wants him enough to put in so much care is downright staggering, and it’s hard to convince him that you mean it. He also has a ridiculously high pain tolerance, but anything cruel or derogatory is just going to bring up bad things. What’s best is to torture him with pleasure; make him feel so good and loved and overwhelmed that it strips down every mental wall he has. Love and reassurance are necessary, and it’s not a bad idea to restrain him so he doesn’t have to feel like he could hurt you.

Ruki:

-His ego makes it very hard to get through to any of this, but he’s fond of more traditional BDSM. Bondage, corporal punishments, and and a total exchange of control are good for putting him in his place, but you do have to be careful not to venture too close to any of his traumas. When it comes to his scars especially, treat him very gently, and make sure that you make the whole experience into something safe. Crushing his ego won’t get you anywhere, but easing him into giving up control will earn you a whole new side of him.

Kou:

-Due to his particular trauma, you have to be exceptionally careful. Any wrong move could send him spiraling, and ruin all trust between you. Humiliation and pleasure work better than direct pain, but you still have to check in regularly that he’s alright with what you do. A safeword system is essential, and even though he’ll bristle at being coddled in a such a way, it’ll go a long ways towards building up real trust between you. He likes being treated like a little pet and being put in his place in gentle, easy ways that don’t pressure him.

Yuuma:

-A big part of giving up control for him is the physical. Being restrained and forced to stay still and accept what you do to him does a lot to make him feel truly helpless. For all his strength, and for all he longs to protect the people close to him, accepting a submissive position is a tricky, tricky thing. You’ll have the best luck through psychological methods like the aforementioned restraints, and plain old humiliation also works well. You can’t overpower him, but you can get in his head and make him feel like he’s helpless.

Azusa:

-He’s dangerously open to anything and everything you want to do to him, and the real challenge is getting it through his head that you’re not just going to use him. Being loving in everything you do is essential, as is making sure that you have good rules on what kind of behavior is appropriate. He likes pain of all kinds, and the more you hurt and humiliate him, the more into it he becomes. You could honestly do whatever you want to him, and as long as he feels loved and wanted, he’ll be more than happy to take whatever you give out.

Carla:

-For all his ego, submission is a tricky, tricky thing. Humiliation gets to him more than anything, and feeling like he’s truly beneath a human is an experience he won’t soon forget. You have to be sort of careful because of his Endzeit, but it’s unwise to treat him like he’s made of glass. Making him feel like he doesn’t have to be the tough, powerful king is the best way to get to his softer side, and with enough time, patience, and work, it’s possible to break him down to the point where he looks forward to not having to think.

Shin:

-A lot of what gets to him is being forced to slow down and accept that someone else is making the choices for him. He has a massively high pain tolerance, and humiliation can easily backfire, and what really gets to him is the slow, steady process of being broken down and eased into wanting to be yours and yours alone. He’s rather starved of attention, and giving him what he needs while also pressing him to submit and give up control is the way to make real progress. (And to be honest, he’s the one to like pet play.)

Hii, i loved your child AU, can you show me how would the s/m/t bros behave or spend their time when child!Yui is with them? (Please ignore any spelling/grammar mistakes, im not fluent in English)

Admin Mawile: (ノ*゜▽゜*)

Shuu:

-He’s as friendly as can be, trying to get Yui to play with him. For the most part, he acts like a happy, normal kid, and unless you tell Yui yourself, she’ll probably never guess that he’s something other than human.

Reiji:

-Aside from few rather rude comments about entertaining a human being beneath him, he treats Yui rather decently. He’s a bit bossy, but Yui is a rather compliant child, and doesn’t have any problems with following his lead.

Ayato:

-He instantly starts trying to show off, and if it earns him any praise from Yui, his efforts will more than double. He’s not used to have playmates other than his brothers, and he’s beyond excited to meet someone new.

Kanato:

-He’s a bit of a shy child, and clings to Teddy while eyeing Yui like she’s a threat for quite a while. Eventually, he’ll open up a bit, but it takes some encouragement for him to really accept a stranger as a friend.

Laito:

-He’s nothing but sweet and friendly to her, and while you can’t be sure how much of it is genuine, it’s pretty easy to tell that he’s enjoying him. He’s a social child at heart, and a friend as sweet as Yui is a very good thing for him.

Subaru:

-Honestly, he’s probably going to hide as soon as he sees her. He’s not used to interacting with other children in the slightest, and it takes him a long time for him to get used to the idea of having anything close to a friend.

Ruki:

-While a bit hesitant about trusting new people, he’s certainly not unfriendly, and opens up to Yui soon enough. He’s more likely to try to take the lead than to play like most children, and can get frustrated rather quickly.

Kou:

-He’s more than a little scared at first, but quickly warms up to Yui’s presence, becoming increasingly outgoing and happy as he realizes that she’ll do him no harm. Someone as gentle as Yui is probably a good match for him.

Yuuma:

-He’s beyond excited to have a new friend to play with, and might overwhelm Yui a bit by being a bit too excited. Fortunately, he gets along with other children well, and quickly learns that he has to be gentle with her.

Azusa:

-He’s basically the definition of sweet and harmless, and aside from potentially trying to get Yui to hurt him, is as lovable as can be. He can be rather slow, but Yui would never be the type to get mad at someone over that.

Carla:

-He acts stern and cold at first, but it’s mostly because he doesn’t know what to do. He’s never had another child equal to him before, and doesn’t really understand how he’s supposed to behave with a friend like Yui.

Shin:

-He can easily be too rough with Yui, and will have to be reminded that not everyone is as tough as him and his brother. He likes showing off and getting attention, and will quickly start to love having a friend to play with.

For the pet au, say that each family was kept together. How would the brothers feel if their owner used a point system with a heigrarchy to give rewards instead of punishments? Who would be jealous, who wouldn’t want to participate, who would be at the top all the time? Would they be more accepting of rewards if they had to compete for them? (Take this in whatever direction you want, sorry if I got too specific)

Admin Mawile: (｡･ω･｡) This is a very interesting idea!!!

Shuu:

-He’s too lazy (depressed) to care much for the point system, but when he starts seeing that you’re serious about rewarding them, he might try to do a little better. While far from competitive, it’s just basic survival instinct to want to receive whatever kindness you’re freely giving to them.

Reiji:

-In his mind, this is the perfect opportunity to show his new owner that he’s worth keeping. He goes above and beyond to be flawless, and strives endless to achieve everything you ask of him. Rewards only serve to enforce that this behavior is correct, and that this is the way to get in your good graces.

Ayato:

-He also tries ridiculously hard to be on top of your chart, but more for the reason of being the best among his brothers. He’s horribly competitive, and will do nearly anything to prove that he’s the well-behaved one. Unfortunately, this doesn’t always go so well, and tends to end in clumsy mistakes.

Kanato:

-If any of the rewards are direct, non-painful attention, he can be just as competitive as Ayato. He doesn’t care about being better than his brothers, specifically, but staying in your favor is the best reward he could imagine. He also gets jealous of the others very, very easily.

Laito:

-So you’re going to play that game? Unfortunately, he only sees the attempt at offering them rewards as a way of tricking them into striving for nothing, and while he cooperates on the surface, he’s not likely to believe that you’re being honest for a long time. It just doesn’t seem like something a human would do.

Subaru:

-Well, there’s no way he’d ever be the good one. He pretty much gives up on ever being on top of the chart from the beginning, and allows himself to fall behind. However, the first time he actually earns a reward, that all changes. Suddenly, he realizes that you’re serious about thinking he can be good.

Ruki:

-As much as he’d like to be the best for his owner, he’s afraid that whoever falls behind in the point system will be punished for it. Out of a desire to protect his brothers, he ensures that he’s always the lowest on your system, so that if you have to punish one of them, it will never be anyone but him.

Kou:

-As soon as he realizes that the point system is a way to avoid being hurt all over again, he’ll do anything to be on top. He’s so scared of being hurt again that it doesn’t matter what he has to do to earn the reward, so long as it means you won’t be as cruel as the people before.

Yuuma:

-He’s also more worried about his brothers than anything, and even though he would like to earn your happiness, he’s too afraid that doing so would mean someone else getting hurt. He can’t stand that Ruki always tries to take the brunt of things, and winds up doing almost the same to protect everyone.

Azusa:

-In his mind, “reward” is often synonymous with pain. He’s delighted to be good for you and do what you want, but it might be quite the shock when you realize he thinks he was doing it all so you would hurt him. He doesn’t care if you hurt him or be kind to him, as long as you’re happy with what he does.

Carla:

-He already strives to be well-behaved, and a point system doesn’t do much to change that. For both his pride as a First Blood and simple survival when it comes to not being hurt, he’s good at being compliant and docile. A point system with actual rewards just encourages him to want to do well.

Shin:

-Even with just one other to compete against, Shin does everything to stay on top. He’s not fond of being bent to a human’s will, but the idea of being better than his brother even in this one thing means a lot to him. Unfortunately, his rebellious nature means he rarely manages to behave better than Carla.

Ohh! How much of the boys sadistic behavior is a reflection of their upbring and how much is it the way vampires are? Basically Nature vs Nurture Given what we know about their world it seems to indicate that all vampires have some brutality in them but with the brothers it seems like the harsher the environment the more violent the tendencies

Admin Mawile: (ヾ(´・ω・｀) An interesting question!

-I think that vampire society has some major issues. From what we see of it, they are pretty violent, brutal, and cruel. From my impression of it, I would also assume that their society is pretty emotionally stifling, like a “hide your feelings and be strong so you don’t get killed/betrayed” kind of thing. Their social relationships are obviously pretty messed up, and that’s likely what means that people like Karl and his wives can get away with what they do.

From this perspective, I would say that it’s a little of both. Vampires do have their violent tendencies, but the way that they’re raised and taught how to behave also impacts things. The boys could be better if they’d been raised in a nicer environment, definitely, but the social structure of vampires has a lot to do with how they behave and they way they see the world.

How would the S boys behave if their mothers were pretty much the same personality-wise but they loved their sons and were more affectionate? Like Cordelia was still a b*tch, Beatrix was still stoic and pushy and Christa was still insane, but they did love their sons and were more open about it?

Admin Mawile: I assume you’re implying that the abuse and such didn’t happen? And I’m also going to have to consider that Karl is decent here too, otherwise I’m sure he’d mess everything up.

Shuu:

-Without being forced to study constantly and not being given any chance to be a kid, Shuu would have turned out a lot more well-adjusted. Assuming that the Edgar incident didn’t happen either, he wouldn’t be as depressed or traumatized, either. I can see this version of Shuu being a lot like his child self’; happy, cheerful, and nowhere near the tired Shuu we see in canon

Reiji:

-In a situation where he hadn’t been neglected and pitted against his brother, Reiji would probably turn out to be a capable, responsible young man who is much less bitter and cruel than the Reiji we see in canon. He wouldn’t be as desperate to prove himself as superior, for one, and wouldn’t have so much hatred and anger towards Shuu, either.

Ayato:

-If his mother hadn’t pushed him to be the best from such a young age, Ayato would be a lot different. He’d be much less arrogant and competitive without a reason to feel like he has to be on top, and he’d probably actually be a rather sweet kid, if a bit hot-headed. Ayato is more misguided than malicious to begin with, and with his issues gone, he’d probably not be too bad.

Kanato:

-It’s honestly kind of hard to imagine what Kanato would have been like if he hadn’t been horribly neglected, but I suppose the answer is that he’d be much more stable. I can imagine that he’d be less violent and possessive as well, since he wouldn’t feel like he had to fight for whatever attention he could get. He’d also probably be more mature, and behave less childishly.

Laito:

-A situation where Cordelia didn’t abuse him would change Laito’s character completely. He’d have no reason to want to be seen as a “pervert”, and wouldn’t have the messed up ideas on love, either. I see this Laito as being genuinely happy and fun, much like the facade that canon!Laito tries to put on, just with a lot less darkness lurking underneath the surface.

Subaru:

-Honestly, Christa did love Subaru in canon, I think, but if her issues were toned down to the point where she no longer did him as much damage, his mental state would be worlds better off. With no reason to hate himself or see himself as dirty or corrupted, Subaru’s self esteem issues would be pretty much fixed, and a healthier relationship with his mother would do him well.
