A/N: this post is going to be long, probably. Idk, I’m just really in the mood for some aot
Warnings: yandere, unhealthy relationships, kidnapping, violence, manipulation, sabotaging a relationship, I’m an Armin stan so I apologize in advance
He has zero self control, seriously. Eren can’t help but want to lock his darling away any time he sees them interacting with anyone who isn’t him. The only exceptions to this are Mikasa, Armin, and Historia. Anyone else, he sees as a threat, and a serious one at that. Eren takes these threats seriously and he’s just paranoid 90% of the time. However, despite being extremely paranoid, Eren trusts his darling wholeheartedly. He doesn’t think they’d ever betray him, so his paranoia is mostly due to his deteriorating faith in humanity.
Despite trusting his darling, there’s only so much Eren can take. Because while he’s determined to keep his darling safe, along with the rest of his comrades, they will always come first. Eren is dangerous as a yandere because he’s willing to drop everything for his darling, including the safety of others. He doesn’t do this on purpose, it’s purely instinctual for him. Their safety is like a code written into his brain, and Eren wouldn’t ignore it even if he could. He knows that it’s probably selfish, but as long as his darling doesn’t scold him for it, he’ll just keep doing it.
He’ll break, eventually, all yandere’s do. Eren has lost too much, and things are just getting worse, so kindness is something he can’t really spare at this point. It’s highly likely that he’ll snap and kidnap his darling. This happens after something quite serious occurs. Like, his darling being severely injured or they decide to betray him in any way. Eren wouldn’t be able to deal with his darling turning their back on him, and after they do it’s pretty much game over for them. They’ll wake up chained in his basement and he’s the only person they’re ever going to see again.
She’s so incredibly protective of her darling, it’s actually quite concerning for the people around her. Mikasa doesn’t care, though, because once she latches onto someone, she’s definitely not going to be letting them go. Because of her trauma, Mikasa is terrified of losing her darling, this is the main reason why she’s always so quick to be at their side. Mikasa can’t risk losing them, so she opts to just never leave them alone. Mikasa is labeled as a stalker because of this, and many of her comrades are aware of her hobbies, but don’t say a thing because they’re not trying to die.
Mikasa, however, can be extremely soft at times, as well. She enjoys doing simple, sweet things with her darling. Things that normal couples would do. Like going on walks together or cooking together. These are the things Mikasa absolutely lives for. Her life is always rotating around her darling, so if they consensually do domestic things like this with her, she’ll be comfortable and content with life. Of course, these things don’t always last, due to the world they live in, but Mikasa never forgets the sweet moments she spends with her darling.
She’s soft, but extremely violent at the same time. Being unkind or physical with her darling is a death sentence, seriously. Mikasa is extremely serious when it comes to the safety of her darling, and them being mistreated is something Mikasa cannot handle properly. She isn’t normal by any means, but she doesn’t pay much mind to it considering everyone is a little twisted. On another note, Mikasa won’t tolerate her darling being with someone else. She won’t kill the person, due to not wanting to upset her darling, but she will sabotage their relationship to hell.
He isn’t delusional, not by any means... but he puts on a show. Armin knows that his feelings aren’t quite normal or healthy, but that doesn’t exactly matter to him. Armin has come to terms that he isn’t a good person, he’s decent, that’s all. So, he doesn’t have many boundaries when it comes to how he deals with his feelings towards his darling. They’re his world, plain and simple. Things were so innocent in the beginning. He wanted to see the ocean with them, but then things quickly spiraled into something much more demented. Armin knows this, and is, to an extent, okay with it.
Armin is, to an extent, manipulative. He had to be, in certain situations. He knows that it’s not clean, not good, but he has to keep his darling by his side, otherwise, he’ll die. It’s something he genuinely believes, too. He believes that without his darling, he’d be nothing but a rotting corpse. They give him meaning, a real meaning, and he loves them so obsessively for it. However, Armin isn’t specifically jealous in any way. He’s just... petty. He knows that it’s not likely that he’d be his darlings first pick, so that’s where the manipulation comes in. He makes everyone else look like demons.
Despite everything, though, I can see Armin having a slightly normal relationship with his darling. He’s sweet, and he knows how his darling deserves to be treated, so it’s not exact hard to stay with him. If his darling was already with someone before him, he deals with it. Not violently, but with enough force to make him a threat. He’s just so... tired of being the second choice. However, it’s not hard to gain Armin’s forgiveness, not really, anyway. Just... pledge loyalty to him and walk with him by the ocean. He needs to know that he’s not second best to anyone.
I STG LOOK AT HIM, HE’S THE EPITOME OF PERFECTION 🤚
