Hello, how are you? I hope your doing fine today? A question for your KoM OCs
If your OCs are a yandere what type of yandere will they be? How will they treat MC?
Hello again :]
I'm guessing the question is inspired by the one that Pipi answered recently haha
I had to think about this one a bit since, to be honest, Ilian is somewhat already on the edge of being a yandere, I would say.
Although I wouldn't categorize Ilian as a yandere, and he's definitely nowhere near as lovesick as someone like Jestyn, I do think he has the potential to develop possessive— even obsessive— tendencies if he becomes deeply attached to someone. For example MC.
As I mentioned in my post about Ilian and Astra's dynamic, Ilian has never really been in any kind of relationship. He has never had a partner, and whenever he developed feelings for someone— whether platonic or romantic— they tended to fade the moment he realized those feelings probably weren't as mutual as he had hoped.
I imagine this happened a few times before the punishment, back when he was still a theatre performer during theatre's thriving days. He never really had genuine friends, so any amount of affection or positive attention would have meant a lot to him. He wasn't obsessive about it, but he became attached in the way lonely, connection-starved people often do when someone finally shows them kindness.
Over time, though, he kept coming to the same conclusion: he was never anyone's first choice. The people he cared about never seemed to value him as much as he valued them. After enough disappointments, he gradually developed an avoidant attachment style. It was easier that way. If you never let yourself get too close, you can't be abandoned or let down.
Ironically, that mindset only made everything worse. By pushing people away before they could hurt him, he only reinforced his loneliness and distrust. Those experiences became the foundation of the trust issues that would later grow even stronger after the punishment.
Because of that— and many other issues— it is incredibly difficult to get through Ilian's walls. Even earning his friendship is an accomplishment. It's one thing when he finally stops seeing you as merely another asset. It's something else entirely when he begins to genuinely care about you.
And if you somehow become his love interest?
That's where the yandere-adjacent behavior starts to appear.
Because Ilian has never experienced a healthy, stable, or fulfilling relationship, his jealousy runs fairly deep (that why his jealousy meter on the relationship chart I made is fairly high).
Once he becomes emotionally attached enough, his avoidant tendencies can almost flip into the opposite extreme. I wouldn't necessarily call him controlling, but he can become quite possessive.
If he notices you spending more time with other people, especially other puppets, or, even worse, if you begin avoiding or distancing yourself from him, all of his old insecurities start resurfacing.
If your relationship weren't particularly deep, his response would probably be to shut you out completely. He'd convince himself you were never worth trusting in the first place, push you back into the category of "people I don't care about," and perhaps even resent you more than he would if you were a complete stranger.
If we're talking about MC, though, it's even worse. Ilian already despises humans, so feeling betrayed by the one human he actually allowed himself to trust would hit him especially hard.
But...
If you truly managed to steal his heart, things would play out differently.
Instead of immediately turning his back on you, he would try to figure out what changed. He'd confront you, ask questions, and try to understand why you're acting differently. Long before that conversation happened, however, he'd probably already be watching you from afar, trying to piece together what you've been doing while you weren't spending time with him.
That kind of behavior would only surface if he genuinely felt you were drifting away.
Otherwise, he'd actually be... relatively chill.
As long as you consistently spent time with him and showed that you were loyal, he wouldn't have much reason to worry.
That being said, he still wouldn't be thrilled about you growing especially close to other puppets. Part of that comes from simple jealousy, but another part comes from the fact that he genuinely resents the Kingdom and most of its residents. If you've grown close enough to him, he'd naturally expect you to understand— and perhaps even share— those feelings.
So seeing you happily spend time with the very people he despises would make him question both your loyalty and the sincerity of your feelings toward him.
The more attached Ilian becomes, the more possessive he becomes.
After spending so long completely alone, finally finding someone he feels he can truly trust is something he refuses to lose.
Now, if we're talking about Yandere Ilian...
Take everything I just described and double it.
He becomes significantly more possessive, far less tolerant of your relationships with other people, much more jealous, and eventually develops an unhealthy obsession with you. His mood swings worsen, his trust issues become more severe, and his anger becomes far more volatile.
At that point, you become one of the biggest catalysts for his already fragile mental state. Instead of helping stabilize him, your relationship might actually push him further into instability, making him dangerous not only to others, but potentially to himself as well.
Maintaining anything resembling a healthy relationship would become incredibly difficult; especially because his obsession with revenge never truly disappears. No matter how much he loves you, he remains determined to carry out his long-awaited revenge, and sooner or later you'd inevitably become involved in his plans.
If you refused to cooperate or tried to distance yourself from him, things could get ugly very quickly.
Ilian is manipulative, emotionally intelligent, and just delusional enough to rationalize almost anything.
Even if he genuinely loves you, he isn't above manipulating you into believing his cause is justified. At first, he'd try to reassure you, reminding you why you're doing this together and why his revenge is necessary.
If gentle persuasion failed, he'd become increasingly manipulative—bringing up everything you've supposedly been through together, appealing to your guilt, your loyalty, and your feelings for him.
And if even that failed...
His frustration would begin spiraling into a sort of paranoia.
He'd start wondering what changed. Why are you suddenly doubting him? Why are you pulling away?
If you argued that you didn't want innocent people to get hurt—especially the theatre's residents/puppets— he might convince himself that those very people had turned you against him.
"They're trying to take you away."
"They're poisoning you against me."
"They're taking something from me... again."
At that point, his anger would likely shift away from you and toward everyone else. In his mind, you wouldn't be the problem. They would.
Which, of course, only makes the entire situation even worse.
Realistically, convincing Ilian to abandon his revenge would be incredibly unlikely. It's a goal he's held onto for far too long.
And if, despite everything, you still chose to leave him...
It probably wouldn't make him give up.
If anything, it would only strengthen his hatred and reinforce his belief that the Kingdom has taken yet another thing from him— the one person who managed to make him feel something other than bitterness and anger.
At that point, he'd feel like he has absolutely nothing left to lose.
So...
Don't fall for Yandere Ilian.
Honestly, don't fall for Ilian in general. xD
Neither option is particularly likely to end well...
The yandere version is just twice as catastrophic.
I wanted to mention it later on, but it feels quite fitting for this ask; if you wanna understand the vibe Ilian would get off in a romantic relationship, just look up JD from Heathers the Musical. Especially songs like "Our Love is God" and "Meant to Be Yours."
Although I did not plan it when making Ilian, you might find a lot of paralels between him and JD's character lol.
His voice is also a sort of voiceclaim for Ilian, although Ilian's might be slightly more raspy and at times a bit lower in tone as he's an adult and not a teenager.
Bonus: I took this Yandere test for funsies and this is how Ilian's chart would look like if he were a Yandere apperantly:
I also took another one where it told me that he indeed would be the more possessive type of a Yandere, so I guess that's what he'd be, lol.
As for Eva, I honestly cannot think of her as a Yandere ^^'
I just think that she is not that type of character to become one. Although she can get jealous of those who she loves and even a bit over-protective in some situation, for example if she fears that the person she cares about is threatened, I wouldn't categorize these behaviours as extreme enough to be considered of Yandere level.
Can her behaviours be unhealthy? Yes, but not in the obssessive/possessive sense. That's not where the unhealthy behaviour would come from. If anything, it'd be her avoidant and cageyness that could bring up some issues in the relationship.
Not really a Yandere-material.
Still, I took the same tests as for Ilian just out of curiosity and here is the result of the first test:
The second test, funny enough, showed that she is an obssessive type of yandere, which I don't really think would be true? But maybe? It's very hard to consider how she'd be like just because she is far from someone who'd be acting like a Yandere in my opinion.
Anywaayy...
I hope that satisfies your curiosity :D
Again, feel free to ask me more questions! I love to see what you can come up with :]
