I keep thinking of Cliff with a obsession who is an older student. Closer to his age than the rest of his students. They'd already be pretty isolated being much older than the others, just a perfect thing ripe for the picking
Ooh I like this! Cliff usually relies on a power imbalance, but this is another advantage. He can spend time with darling, and because they're older it doesn't seem as off. Sure, there may be some questions, but everyone, including darling, has a rationalization that makes sense.
Does Antonio hold the same level of love and support for cliff that cliff has for him? Say Antonio noticed Cliff paying at bit more attention to one of his friends, or someone in his art class, would he help? Like befriend them, invite them over etc so Cliff would have more legitimate time to get his claws in them?
What if Antonio accidentally met his dad's reluctant new lover? Either wandering into the wrong room or even Found them trying to escape. Is he turning a blindeye? Helping, subduing them? Taking the opportunity to heckle his old man for not taking better "care" of his partner??
I think it depends on the stage of the relationship. At first, he's pretty out of it. But I think once he starts to notice his dad isn't "bothering" him as much, he gets curious. And Antonio has seen partners come and go, so he knows when his dad is serious about something. He loves the freedom he gets when his dad is attached to someone, and if his dad is really that serious, then he'll never have to worry about the post break up bonding time his dad makes him do.
If he walked in on a kidnapped darling, he'd be sympathetic, but then just turn around and be like "dad they're acting up, not my problem I'm just here to pick up you headphones I left k bye..."
if darling could get pregnant would des be willing to take them to a hospital for once or is he gonna insist on a home birth with no anaesthetics 😰 esp in the "des kidnapped darling" scenario
in my mind this is olivers birth and liam is around and im trying to think "would desmond really ask a 7 year old to help with labor" hhhhh
Oh....he absolutely would consider asking a 7 year old to help. This one is always tough, because Desmond is a man who overthinks every possible danger. I mean, on the one hand, this, or the other, that.
He'd probably have like 5 different plans, from home birth to a hospital, and his first choice is some country or small hospital and fabricating some records or ids if he could.
I just want to say that I love your writing so much and I was gonna write a fanfic but then it started turning too horror scary ish so I won't post it but your oc's truly have my heart, I'm obsessed
Feel free to still post or write it if you'd like! We have all kinda of genre lovers here and if you're comfortable, I encourage it!
side note, if you'd like me to see it just send me a link or a message as the notifications are not great for side blogs/not something i check everyday!
It's a bit funny that both Desmond and Margo can't seem to tell their partner that they love them directly for different reasons. Getting them to say it just reminds me of that sleep meme: Darling: Truth or dare? Desmond/Margo: Uhhhhh....Truth. Darling: Do you love me? *dramatic violin plays* Desmond/Margo: Dare. Darling: Say "I love you" to me right now! Desmond/Margo: I don't like this game! (Joking aside, I'd think Margo would actually cave and say it, it's just gonna take a LOT time)
They would both hate that game so much that I bet if you asked to play it, they would immediately shut it down. Desmond because he doesn't do games and Margo because she's shy and nervous.
But if they do say it...
Margo is obviously very anxiously and messing with her fingers, wanting to say it and make it sound cute but she's super red and leaves immediately.
Desmond says it in the most bland voice and goes "yeah..of course I love you?" and he almost looks MAD? Its not romantic and it doesn't feel like a win
I thought about this when I was painting my nails but imagining Desmond with a high maitenance kind of partner made me giggle
It is actually very funny, because Desmond is very confused by it. So you'll stay home if he buys you things? Okay, he's the only child of a single mom lawyer who never remarried, and he never spends the money he does make so he does have quite a bit to spend. But...wanting things is not some thing he usually feels (besides you). So when darling starts making constant demands, saying they need a specific brand of shampoo, or certain make up, he's a little lost. But if it means you'll stay....
Why do you spend so much time on your make up, who are you going out for? Why does it make you feel good? The poor man is just baffled because his routine is fail to sleep for 4 hours, shower in the coldest water, wash his face with the same product he's been using for 10 years, go to work for 12 hours, come home, stuff food in his face, work, sleep....
I recent got lingerie from Love Child Boudoir and oh my god....its amazing....so anyway the yanderes and which lingerie set from them they'd like you in
Margo - themed, somewhat colorful but warm
Antonio - chains and religious art seems very on brand for him
Hello again! Same anon from the Baldur's gate ask, and I'd absolutely love to hear how the girls would react to that revelation! Thank you again for answering it by the way, I enjoyed reading through all of them (I can see the similarities with Halsin and Cliff, I actually thought it'd be Astarion but that might be more fitting for Antonio a little) I hope you have a great day as well!
I'd actually think Gale would be fitting for Antonio due to "always wanting to be equal with his partner" "literal worship" "witty but charming"
Anyway...the girls...
Zara you know she doesn't like it, her partner can't be a GAMER what does that do for her image? Is jealous and petty about it at first, but likes a lot of the designs (Mizora) and will make catty comments about characters in the background and gets a tad invested
Olive hates it. She only likes cozy games and find turn based boring, and she hates how you're flirting with characters THAT DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE HER? will straight up ignore you talking about it and will not try and engage. Sorry y'all, Olive is a prissy princess.
Margo probably is a little interested, but she does get self conscious about who you decide to flirt with. Is that your type? Do you like them more? Should she act like them? She doesn't want to ruin your fun, but she does overthink everything and you might want to consider not talking about the romance aspect.
Your response to the last ask reminded me of this quote: “just because you love me doesn’t mean I feel loved by you” and it’s literally so accurate to Desmond’s situation because yes he’s head over heels for you but also he’s so emotionally constipated and difficult to figure out so there’s that
You'll be pouring your heart out and he'll have the same stone faced expression and end with "thank you. I'm glad you told me" and then he'll play your conversation non stop in his head and gush internally over how in love with you he is and how he has to protect you and he'll always cherish you-
and meanwhile darling is like....so...do you love me???
Hi! Long time fan of yours and I absolutely love reading about your oc's! I wanted to ask: Say Darling is playing a videogame that the yanderes thought was just an action RPG that they've been playing for a while now. Darling has gushed about the cool story and the fleshed out characters that they grew to love, which they think is nice; Darling's having fun and this is a good distraction away from interacting with people. One day, they grew curious enough to watch you play for a bit. 1/3
It starts off like they expected, a lot of fighting and magic, doing quests, yada yada yada. They're about to leave until you reach camp and start talking with some of the characters and suddenly they hear you gasp as one of the NPC's starts talking all sweet to you? As they watch the scene unfold, they are shocked to find out that THIS GAME HAS ROMANCE OPTIONS?! And are you squealing and giggling over what they're saying?! (cough- Baldur's gate COUGH) 2/3
How would they react/feel about this revelation? I doubt any of them is going to be happy about it but would some be petty about it? Would some try to understand why Darling likes that character so much? Would they act differently if Darling was IN a relationship with the yanderes? I personally gush over some of the romantic scenes in games, and Baldur's Gate 3 has such great character interactions that I can't help but love all of them. I hope this isn't too much to ask, thank you! 3/3"
I knew this was about Baldurs Gate immediately cause same...only doing the boys here since it'll get long but let me know if you want the girls version!
Sawyer- He plays video games but isn't quite into the culture as isn't into turn based as much so he's like "sure whatever can we play together". Very slow at learning and will cast fireball on you and kill you constantly because he doesn't understand. But has so much fun being a nuance to the NPCs, and the moment he accidentally flirts with someone he goes full panic mode and starts apologizing, refuses to romance anyone. Is a bit peeved why you romance, but won't stop you. He does try to understand why however, and gets a little huffy at each romance scene. Also slightly makes fun of your choices. Will try and shove them off the edge when you're not looking.
Desmond - This man has not touched a game....ever, but he's happy to see you're happy and actually a little glad you're so engrossed in some that keeps you indoors and away from people. I actually thing that Desmond wouldn't care? He knows it's fictional, it'll hopefully get you in the mood, and he likes how if he asks you some thing about the game, you'll gush to him for hours. He still has you. But depending on your romance choice he might get curious why you chose that
Mizu - This fucker has already completely a playthough, bought you a custom cosplay of Shadowhearts camp clothes, and constantly wants to roleplay with you. But also gets insanely upset if you so much as mention your romance option and will make fun of all the characters you like. Makes you stop your own playthough so you two can play co-op and he can "watch you".
Cliff - Has no interest in playing, but is familiar with DND back when it was popular when he was a child. Still not super interested, but he likes hearing you be passionate about something. If you mention your romance option he'll perk up a bit, get cheeky, and start to mimic the things you like if it aligns with him. Obviously expects you to romance Halsin though because he likes to imagine there are similarities....
Antonio - I'm torn, cause I do think he'll like the game but I also think he's a bit jealous of your time and will only let you play it with him "so I can share your hobby and see you get excited is all!" Will try and argue that you shouldn't have that character cause it's not good for your party comp, or try and disrupt your romance scenes. He wants to appear like a good sport, but very obviously isn't
Ezra- He hates it. He doesn't understand video games, but he likes seeing you happy. You should be hanging out with him though, and he knows there is co op but he's terrible at it and clearly isn't having fun. He seethes and mopes the entire time you play, and almost cries if you talk about your romance option. Why aren't any of them sweet or kind or like him?? Do you not like him??
what if Desmond's darling thought that what they had was a situationship or like barely friends with benefits because he's so attached to work
AH so awkward
Poor Desmond being absolutely stone faced as you anxiously explain what you though your situation was. you date waiting awkwardly waiting to the side. You can't tell all the thoughts going through Desmonds head, thoughts about harming your date or arresting them, how could be so stupid to trust a stranger, is Desmond not loving enough to you (lol). But you think he's taking it well based on his expressions. He'll snap out of it and give you a slight sad smile, saying of course he understands. He does! You're lonely and he made you feel insecure in your relationship. He completely understands what you need.
So he's gonna steal you away and lock you up so you'll know how much he cares and he'll try working from home a bit more so he can admire you.
what if Antonio's darling shouted at him that he was "just like his father!" in an argument?
Antonio and Cliff are so opposite yet similar, and he doesn't hate his dad, but he is peak spoiled kid with a yandere dad and clashing interests so it created tension. I think it would greatly depend on what it's about.
Everyday normal stuff? He's update and hurt, and probably gives you a silent treatment for a bit. Don't worry, he's still watching you from a far
If it's about his yandere tendencies...well...his dad MAY be right about some things
Margo: I would say deadpan, but it's not intentionally. She's a little soft spoken and awkward, so it comes across deadpan but it's actually here hoping you will fill the silence and laugh.
Sawyer: He loves dumb puns and jokes such as "Liquor? I hardly know her!". He laughs so hard he cries. But also likes meme humor.
Ezra: He HATES sitcom humor, because what kind of man would make fun of his wife/why are they all so mean to each other?? He likes family fun humor, things everyone can participate in. But also I imagine he likes British panel shows too.
Olive: Loves loud and quick humor, like scrolling tik tok and laughing at viral sounds. She shares about 20 posts a day.
Mizu: He actually likes a lot of different kinds of humor, from satirical, memes, to commentary humor videos of youtube. He just doesn't really laugh so much so it's hard to tell, but he enjoys hearing it.
Zara: She doesn't really do humor, but likes quick and fast witty humor if she's watching something.
Cliff: Actually deadpan or dry, some what sarcastic. He's the kind of guy who won't look up from his newspaper as he roasts you. He also likes smart or fanciful humor, like I bet he loves O Brother, Where Art Thou?
