How would you rank your husbands based on how good of a partner they would be? 🤔
Heaven yeah.

One Piece ♡
☆. Sir Crocodile :: 8/10. Great, but not perfect.
I'd say he'd be a surprisingly better than expected. I say surprising because of his personality. Let's be real, Crocy isn't exactly the most trusting. There's only one person he trusts and that's Mr. 1. However, once the courtesy of that trust is extended to you, treat it like how you would treat cracked glass because you only have one chance. What prevents him from being an eight is lies mostly in his emotional vulnerability.
Look at him, he clearly isn't the type. Even if you're married to him, he won't magically open up. It takes time, sometimes he's stubborn, resistant even. Not to mention that he is a pirate. His life is dangerous. He is a bad man. He has killed and betrayed without flinching, has carried out a (failed) coup, and is wanted either dead or alive by the WG. If you can't handle that, then I don't quite know what to tell you.
On the plus side, he's rich, he's arrogant, and he wants nothing but perfection for himself—that includes you. Clothes, shoes, jewellery, you name it. He's got the money for after all. Not to mention that he's quite protective of you for all the right reasons. He protects your honour and heavens help the poor soul who dares to harm a hair on your head.
Overall: great, but not perfect.

☆. Rob Lucci :: 7/10. Good (practically).
Absolutely do not count on emotional vulnerability. No. Rob Lucci doesn't do emotions. Hardly. That's the difficult part in this already even as he's with you, it'll just feel like either business casual intimacy or high stakes operation intimacy and those are almost the only two modes he has. He's not cruel, not to you. You're one of the people he isn't cruel to, but he simply isn't open. All the blame to the Cipher Pol conditioning. He will listen to you and will be your silent support, he won't shame you for your vulnerability because it implies your trust in him and he can appreciate that, but don't expect him the most vulnerable emotional wise.
Let's also not forget that it's likely he'll put his job over your relationship. So, please, understand that your love is secondary to his duty.
But let's now get to the good points. He's highly private, so there is no shot your relationship will get leaked without him knowing. You will have the luxury of privacy and his undivided attention (if he isn't suddenly required for duty). While he isn't exactly very materialistic (if we don't count his attire), you can expect the finest quality in things and nothing less, though usually, he'd give you something pragmatic. Rob Lucci is a man of peak performance and expects nothing less than perfection. It's why he was able to kill those five hundred men at thirteen. You are not getting some blouse made of polyester.
You don't have to worry about getting harassed and catcalled because you have Cipher Pol's strongest soldiers in history, not to mention that Rob Lucci is 2.12 metres (6'11) tall. Not many are willing to snatch the lover of a man who not only looks perpetually irritated at the stupidity of society around him, but also towers over most average humans then again, in a world of giants he's fun-sized and is a walking mountain of muscle.
If we get a little more intimate, you'll have a nice time in your room since this guy can fight for days on end. You'll be spent before he even has to draw a proper breath. Though, getting him in the mood can be difficult since be is sort of trained to not feel such things. But, once you do, understand what you've put yourself in. This is usually the closest you get to emotional intimacy.
Overall: he's good, just not vulnerable.

☆. Donquixote Doflamingo :: 5/10. Not bad, not good either.
This is lower than I expected, but hear me out. It's not that he treats you bad in any way. Look at the way he treats his family. You as his lover? You'd be treated like an absolute monarch. Nothing but the absolute FINEST for you and he will kill anyone who DARES to give you anything less.
He's quite indulgent, too. If you want his attention, you need only call his name and he's there. Sure, he'll tease here and there about you being needy, but you will get what you want because he loves you. He spoils you rotten both materialistically and affectionately. You will want for absolutely nothing. Seriously.
But here's where it starts. Doflamingo is a man who wants control over one and all. You could be as close to him as his brother once was, in his eyes, you have a designated role you are expected play without issue. Do not deviate from his script because there is nothing Doflamingo hates more than people who don't play by his rules. Why do you think he hates Law so much?
If he deems it necessary, he will manipulate and control you to ensure you fall back into your designated role, partner or not. Look at how he destroyed all of Baby 5's prospects. That is someone he sees as a little sister. He has no qualms about destroying yours if it means you'll stay loyal and cling to him.
As for emotional vulnerability? Take that with about as much salt you'd take from an unreliable narrator. He won't lie about his past. Quite the contrary. He's been doing that during all of Dressrosa and even thinks it. However, he is a man who believes he was wronged by the whole world and life entirely. You'd be wise not to believe every story where he believes and sees himself the victim *cough* betrayal.
There is one thing I can give him and that he won't harm you in any way. Even if you go a little out of line. Like I said, Doflamingo is a very patient man when it comes to those he considers part of his family. You will be punished differently but never with any amount of force that can leave you harmed in any way. He loves you too much for that. In the case you are harmed, it's likely because he lost his composure though you'd 99% not be the cause. Speaking of, he's going to be possessive. Highly so. For a man who's lost everything, he hoards what he now has like a dragon and its gold. Whoever dares even think about coveting it, will die. Your freedom is limited. Highly so.
Overall: he's not bad, but he certainly isn't good.

BLEACH ♡
☆. Sado "Chad" Yasutora :: 10/10. Perfect.
Caring all the way. Chad's character is defined by his past and, most importantly, his grandfather who made him what he is today. He is the sweetest man ever and really works for any type of person (so long as you're not an ass). If you're high-maintenance (like me for example), don't worry, he can adjust fine. You want hugs or cuddles or kisses every minute? You've got it. Chad is here to make you happy. If you're happy, he's happy. It's simple for him.
He's also the type of man to be honest with you from day one, so there are definitely those days where you have the most meaningful conversations ever and are left more in love with him each time because of how much trust you put in him (and vice versa).
I'd say he's a rather private guy, but also is keen on pda. For most of his childhood up to his mid teens, he had been very lonely. His parents died when he was very young before he was brought back to México by his grandfather where he wasn't able to really connect well with kids. He's had it rough. Now that you're here, he's not going to hide you because he's been too alone for the most important portion of his life. If you're like me and you don't like pda, well you will now.
He'd be a bit indulgent so expect some spoiling purely because he loves you very much and wants to see you smile. Like I said; if you're happy, he's happy. Think of it as a "happy wife, happy life" situation.
Overall: need I say more?
─────────
☆. Yhwach :: 8/10. Great (with limits).
Now… this is unique. Yhwach is quite an interesting subject because when we consider him, he doesn't seem like the type. However, he's better than expected because of said character. As we know, Yhwach is caring in his own way. Yes, he is quite arrogant and is considered the father of all Quincies, but he isn't entirely heartless. The Quincy-Shinigami wars prove that. However, like Doflamingo, it's conditional. So, why such a high rating?
Well, it's because you'd be held in different, higher regard. As the spouse of the Father of all Quincies, you are the most respected after him. He will not have you be treated any less than what you are and neither will he treat you any less. You need only remember that he is the ultimate authority always.
For his vulnerability, I'd say it's a 50/50 case. He views himself responsible for each Quincy that exists. The ultimate pillar for the weaker of his race. He won't be so easy to open up. On the other hand, His Majesty won't be dishonest with you about how he feels. He will absolutely tell you if the weight of the war has been weighing on him or if the responsibility of being the Quincy King tires him. Ultimately, it depends on how willing he is at the moment, but he isn't hiding things from you completely.
For his less admirable traits, I'd say it's his need for authority (js like Doflamingo). As we all know, he cares for the Quincies like how one does for a beloved pet. He will protect them, but he won't die for them. Auswählen is a stark reminder of this conditional love. Despite being his lover, you are expected to die for him and destroy the things you love to prove your loyalty to him. Of course, he won't target you specifically with his Auswählen, but that's about as far as it goes.
He cares for you, though and he will go out of his way to ensure your comfort and peace over his own. You will want nothing. He will ensure it. He will especially make sure you don't experience the feeling of isolation he has endured his entire life. I don't believe he's the type to force you into anything you don't want to as he sees himself responsible, so you'll likely be left behind for your own safety as he goes out to protect you. In the case you do fight, he honours that wish and fights alongside you or keeps an eye on you from afar.
Overall: almost perfect.
─────────
☆. Zaraki Kenpachi :: 6/10. Marry at own risk.
For as much as I love this guy, he's, truthfully, atrocious. Boundaries? Don't know her. To Zaraki Kenpachi, boundaries is a really bad joke invented by weaklings who want to escape fights. He doesn't run from fights. If he wants something, he will take it. That includes you. Of course, by heaven's grace, he's civil enough to court you properly, but once you're his it's a wrap. That isn't anything to laugh at in the long run.
If you ever bring up the fact that you want to break up, no you don't. He won't accept that, simple. You can ignore him all you want, but he'll be there. Waiting. Your sentinel no matter where you are or how far you run go. He is your husband after all and on your wedding day, both you can him vowed "until death do us part".
Vulnerability with this guy is just blunt honesty. He doesn't do mushy softy. He does "you look fat. I like it" and you're gonna have to get used to it. His version of pda is just loudly calling you without killing you on sight and following you around like a very lost, very giant, and very annoying puppy with a smaller, pink puppy attached to him. You should also know that he does not care for the neighbours or his men, you're getting pounded and he might do it harder just to make you louder.
Don't worry about being catcalled or anything since basically everyone will know you're married to ZARAKI KENPACHI and everyone very much prefers to keep their heads attached to their shoulders.
However given his taste for blood and a good fight, he can be very negligent sometimes to the point where you might have to drag him back by the hair. It can become the point of some arguments, but he listens because he wants to see you happy even if that means putting off a fight for the day. He'll mumble and grumble a bit, but he likes you smiling over you being angry or sad.
Overall: okay-ish, but a risk.

Resident Evil ♡
☆. Zeno Wesker :: 9/10. Amazing.
While he is Albert's clone, he isn't exactly him. As we've seen in REQ, Zeno is very focused and not needlessly cruel as Wesker. He does what needs to be done without making too much of a mess. Let's keep one thing straight, though. He is manipulative. Absolutely. It is showed very clearly in Grace, except he is only more indulgent. You and him would initially, highly likely, be something he planned. Overtime, however, he will likely ease up and treat you more like someone to be cherished. He will keep you away from his work life without question.
Vulnerability isn't high on the list. He is Wesker's clone and unfortunately, some of his prominent personality traits dragged a long with (that includes some of his superiority complex). For you, though, he is there and you can always count on him. If you need to cry your heart out, he will let you without fuss. He prefers it even. It let's him know that he is the only one you trust to hold you, the only one you trust to shield you.
His high rating comes from how human he actually is even if it is hidden under wraps. He is clearly very wealthy and you will enjoy that wealth yourself and with the things he will gift you. That and, again, he will be your emotional pillar. Outside of his job, he does seem more lax and you will enjoy more of his human side. I like to think he has a sense of humour.
What keeps him from being perfect is his superiority complex and how he is, by all means, a terrorist and that he won't always be there. Otherwise, I do believe he's the most normal of the bunch after Chad.
Overall: his humanity makes him almost perfect.

☆. Albert Wesker :: 4/10. Not ideal.
Like Lucci, do not expect emotional vulnerability. You should hardly even expect any emotional support. It's not that he wants you sad, no. It's just that compared to Uroboros, those things are secondary. It can hurt and is one of the few main causes of your arguments. The next being that he is a bioterrorist, obviously. The third being his god complex. If I have to imagine myself in a relationship with Wesker, it's going to be weird. Think about it, you, as a normal person, are with someone who has the audacity to believe he is a god. A deity. Don't you think that's weird.
There's not much for Wesker I can say that really brings him to even a five. However, I have one thing that suggests that be may not be as a cold we know him to be. Ms. Müller (Jake's mother) is proof of that. He was with her at the peak of his S.T.A.R.S/RPD infiltration. Not to mention that Ms. Mülller was chronically ill. Not only was he with her long enough for it to have been an actual, long-lasting relationship, he was with her long enough to to have impregnated her with Jake without knowing. That fact alone suggests unprotected sex. Irresponsible sex if you want to be blunt. He had the capacity for love.
His good points come from the fact that he'd want to have you in his new world and would protect you from anything. The BSAA, S.T.A.R.S, RPD, FBI, and whatever other organisation wants to dare take you away from him. Also understand that you won't get away from him, you won't go easily. Not with Wesker. If you're with him, that means he saw something worth preserving in a world he viewed utterly lost without Uroboros. In Wesker-speak, it means he cherishes you dearly even if he doesn't show it. But his good points end there.
