I like thinking that Skully is somewhere on the aro/ace spectrum. Like yeah he'll kiss Yuu because he loves them but also he'll kiss a jack-o-lantern if it turns out very cute from carving. It's like hugs or hand-holding. Just another form of affection and contact.
He loves Yuu the way he loves Halloween and spooky things: a whole lot, probably to some unhealthy degree because it gives great comfort, but not necessarily because there's something titillating about it.
Like he said in the Ace scene, he would date Yuu if they asked but he's happy with them as friends. If they want to date him, then sure! They can date! If that escalates, then that's ok too! He likes being their most important person first and foremost and if that role just so happens to involve adding "lover" later on in addition to "best friend" then he'll gladly comply!
But he's just as happy staying as (very, unhealthily codependent) friends forever. Romance is not a bridge he intends to cross or even actively thinks about. As long as Yuu doesn't send him away, all is well with the world!
. . .that's how the uncritical head knowledge goes though. On some deeper level, he'd still like to monopolize them. And Yuu getting a partner would probably mean losing some time with them, so there probably isn't anyone he's actually willing to let them date. He wouldn't be jealous of Yuu and their partner getting frisky with each other as much as he is about Yuu just having to split their attention between him and someone else at all.
The idea of marriage would appeal to him because that's the closest he's ever gonna get to saying, Yuu is mine, they chose me, and I can have them all I want now.
Trying to finish Cards but possible Marrow route be poking my brain.
When you AU and make yandere a character, I wonder at what point it's just an OC. Anyway warnings for captivity and blood and a lack of self-regard and other unhealthy things that happens when an obsessive childhood best friend kidnaps the other.
MINORS DNI. No nsfw I just don't want minors on this blog.
A true crime and horror fan just waking up one day somewhere unfamiliar and cool their best friend is here he can help them esca- what do you mean you're the one who brought me here. What. Well. Many kidnappers are family, friends or associates of the kidnapped so that makes some kind of sense- no no no focus-
The bunker's actually pretty nice, aside from the isolated-from-wider society thing. They're not sure what to think of the bedroom having similar wallpaper and furniture as their room even if he's hung out at their place as much as they have, growing up. That's a little concerning, my man. Maybe as concerning as the fact that he's apparently been collecting some of their things and oh yeah. . .they do remember seeing that weird shrine of a cabinet somewhere in his giant mansion of a house before waking up here. He saw that they saw and said he wanted to talk to them about it and they were about to, over some drinks, and oh, isn't that the oldest trick in the book dangit they can't believe they fell for that.
He won't talk here though. He sidesteps all their questions and just acts like nothing's wrong. He's so unserious about the whole thing that the situation doesn't seem that serious. It's like some elaborate escape room. But there's a fucking chain on their leg and he says he has the key and he won't just- give it to them.
They wait for him to get bored of this very un-funny prank but they should have known better because this is the guy who's never gotten bored of Halloween. As the weeks pass and resentment builds, they start to hate him a little but this is the guy who, once again, is enamored by something as abstract as a holiday and so he still smiles at them even if they try to attack him or insult him because reciprocity's never been a requirement for what he loves.
He's infuriatingly normal outside of the kidnapping-them thing. Still friendly, still nice, still concerned about them. Their glorified cage has water and electricity, a backup generator for electricity. There's enough food to last decades but he regularly stops by to give them groceries and hang out. He doesn't mind bringing books, games, shows and podcasts burned onto cds, whatever they want as long as it can't be used to contact people or help them escape. Not that he even really stops them when they try either- they try to craft lockpicks or makeshift keys with aluminum or can lids or superglue or book spines. It seems to amuse him when they try. He just scolds them and tells them to be careful as he brings them bandages and ointment for their cuts. He's even worried about the chain, changing the limb the cuff's are attached to regularly. (He is apparently acutely aware of their health. When they pretend to be knocked out by the drink he always gives them before he changes the placement of it, he leaned so close they could feel the smile of it, and called them silly, because that wasn't their sleeping heart rate, they'd punched him and asked him why knew that. He just laughed.)
He doesn't really do anything terrible they expect from a kidnapper. Aside from the isolation thing. And being a creep. No demands. No torture. He doesn't get mad even if they do. He smiles even after they punched him, and when they broke his glasses, and tried to threaten him by tangling the chain around his neck. When they ignore him, he just watches them like they're some trinket on his shelf he's admiring or an animal in a zoo.
He's not particularly concerned about anything besides their health. Besides the whole backups-for-necessities thing, when they argue that they'll be stuck here if he spontaneously dies, he just says that he has emails and messages regularly queued each week to confess what he's done to the police and their families if he doesn't delete them. If they get out or anyone somehow finds out he's behind their disappearance after months have passed, he doesn't really seem to care about being jailed, or that they won't visit him in prison. He genuinely, sincerely, seems to be content just keeping them there until he dies. Or they escape, but they've had no luck on that end.
They find out just how right they are when on their birthday, besides getting them a cake of their favorite flavor, he tells them he's brought them the key to their chain and the door. A dupe of it anyway. Only, when they ask where it is, he says it's the thing he'd swallowed before he started cutting the cake.
They stare and he just smiles, offering them the blade handle-first.
They want their freedom more than anything right? They keep asking for it. If they want it so badly, they can cut it out of him. They should hurry. Food can stay in the stomach for as long as four hours before moving to the small intestine, and stomach acid can be corrosive-
He won't cough it up, even when they pin him down and try to stick their fingers in his throat. Won't vomit. Can't. Took an antiemetic, he says, grinning like a maniac.
When they move off of him to pace and try to think, he says something that has them staring again.
He has the knife against his throat. Cheerfully offers to do the hard part himself, if they're so afraid of taking a life. They might not even have to cut him up after. They can stow his body in the closet if they're concerned about the smell, but considering the day, he might not even rot before the authorities find them-
They wrest the knife from him. Is he insane? Can't he just let them out and they can pretend nothing's happened? Can't he just give them the key like a normal person?
He's never been very normal though. An off-putting fellow, ever since he was a child. It's why they were his only friend. It's why he became their only friend too, because nobody liked him. And that was fine for a long time, until they started making other friends, and those people didn't understand or know them so well, so why should they give such louts the time of day?
He likes it better like this. He only needs them. They only need him, until they decide otherwise. But for now, they shouldn't be so afraid. They shouldn't hold a knife like that, when they seem so unsure, when their hands are shaking and they probably can't see they straight, with all the tears.
He pulls the blade from their hands and sets it down. He tells them they can try another time, but he's still ecstatic, so happy that they really prefer him being alive after all, despite their curses and threats.
He hugs them, and it's unfair that they can find any comfort in it after everything, as though they were kids again and they just woke up from a nightmare.
As he croons empty consolations against their head, they think for the first time that they really, really have to escape, for both their sakes.
This is my sideblog for dark content, particularly yandere stuff, and also just more stuff too intense or sappy for my other blogs. If seeing such content would negatively impact you, please leave. If you are a minor, also please leave. I'm more of a reader than a writer for this stuff but I do have some thoughts now and then.
I have a particular fondness for soft/sweet/sub yandere guys. Also making weirdly specific scenarios I guess.
I basically quarantine my more unhinged fic ideas here.

I'm starting something new here - a fanfic club! Where we can follow epic ongoing EXO fanfictions and discuss them together! And hopefully I can introduce you to some of the fanfics I'm reading! I'd love to get fic recs from you guys as well, but first let's see if this even goes well and people actually read it lol... I'll recap each chapter and try and spark conversation about it like a book club leader would do, and have a tinychat where we can chat with each other in real time! Whoooooo!
READ FIRST: [Ch 18. ISOLATED: The Void] Warning: mention of suicide
Recap:
OH MY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
-CKING GOD, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
As soon as I read "Jongin awakens in total darkness-" I quickly looked away and hoped that it was in the prison cell. But alas, "somewhere within the gap between realities-" I literally closed my laptop and had to fight the urge to do any damage to it.
I thought the Illusion chapter was like a bad trip but this description of the void, of this abstract dimension, made shivers run down my back. It was thrilling (although kind of stressful) to read the beginning of this chapter. When Jongin is about to drown himself and sees a halo of light that leads him to Baekhyun - that transition was awesomely seamless.
The imagery of the prison cell, the creepy technology that can read Baekhyun's energy levels, Baekhyun thinking that Jongin was an illusion, and the flashbacks to Jongin's past violence towards Baek and Luhan all added up to the right amount of downright disturbing.
And did anyone else think of this when they read "...the large, metallic visor settled over [Baekhyun's] face, blinding him..."
LOL I'm sorry author-nim
But I continue to be amazed by Scout's take on Baekhyun's power - other fics have focused on Baekhyun feeling that his power was so inferior, so it's nice to see that he's actually badass in this fic.
Also, Baekchen feels~
The flashback to Sehun's illusion! I love when seemingly insignificant/lighthearted things from the past chapters come to help the characters with their dilemmas.
So, we were supposed to feel relief once Jongin got to Baekhyun, after Jongin and Baekhyun got to Sehun and Jongdae, and then when the four of them were back in Jongin's room, but I know this author better than that...
And lo and behold, Minseok's being sketchy. As. Fuck. The body language his tone, oh my god... I'm cringing. Is anyone else feeling this? Something's about to go so wrong. I'll be more surprised if something doesn't go wrong and Minseok doesn't do anything to screw things up. That would make Scout a DOUBLE TROLL OMG.
And of course the chapter ends right when I'm boiling with anger and hoping that the cliffhanger will not be here, not yet - NOOO!"
Discussion:
Please Read: I'm opening a tinychat link for you guys to comment. Do NOT send messages to our inbox that will spoil the fic for our followers (or even the other admins!) Spoiling stories is a sin in Admin Sam's bible, okay? If you really have an intense, burning desire to ask me about the fic's plot and I am no longer in the tinychat, then I gueeesssss you can send it to my personal blog's inbox. I don't care about my followers on there OMG I'M JK
UPDATE, PLEASE READ: First of all, I apologize for the confusion and the tinychat not working and etc. etc. etc. I was hoping to do it that way so we could chat in real time and it would be quick and it just seemed like a good idea. SINCE IT WASN'T, looky here, I made a separate tumblr blog for the fic discussions! [kmexoficclub] On each recap, I'll put a link to that recaps comments so you guys can look at what people are saying all at once. I'll still post the recaps here so you guys will see them! So if you're behind on the chapters and you really don't want anything spoiled, you don't have to follow that blog and get the messages on your dash. is this all making sense or
Below are the new links!
WHAT THE FUCK do you guys think is going to go down between Minseok and Jongin?
What do you think Sehun's overdrive would look like? Or any of the other soldiers whose overdrives we haven't seen?
What do you think will happen on the eclipse?
What is that whoooole Zico thing? Just wtf is going on...
And always feel free to spazz about anything else~
