i wanna know what you want to say about sukuna!! !!
Use this ask as an excuse to blabber away plz ;p
Hbhbhbhbhbhbh thank you omg I can certainly try? Honestly he just kinda T-poses in my brain and rotates around like he's in a microwave so while I'm constantly thinking of him I feel like I can't articulate any thoughts or ideas lololol
I suppose I can write out some general thoughts on how I think he would act as a lover? This would be for both True Form Heian Era Sukuna as well as my thoughts on Modern Day Sukuna because I really don't think he would change much in either setting?
I think I'll start right of the bat with a (possible?) unpopular opinion that I hope more people actually share than I've been lead to believe - I don't think Sukuna in any form would be interested in concubines or act like a fuck boy. I've seen so many fics with Heian Era Sukuna specifically where this seems to be a common situation and I honestly...don't get it. Sukuna is shown to be extremely anti social, the closest thing he has to a friend/family is Uraume (who I'll be expanding on a little more in a moment) so where are people getting this idea that he'd take multiple lovers to bed?
I suppose it would have to do with the time period itself - it was common for lords and rulers to take multiple lovers not just in Japan but all around the world throughout history but....nothing about Sukuna says he would follow such a practice? He already goes against the status quo constantly - I can't help but feel like someone insinuating he needs to fuck a bunch of women, women who he sees more appetizing as actual food than a form of sexual relief, would be incredibly insulting to his pride. You think he needs a whole group of women whining over how amazing he is in bed to prove his power and ability? Like some weak, pathetic mortal man who needs his ego stroked constantly?
Not to mention all the drama that comes with having concubines - woman scrambling over each other for even a fraction of his attention and the power that would come with being his favorite, eugh. He can barely stand the voices of the villagers who bring him the offerings he's owed for sparing their pathetic lives, why would he want to listen to that all day?
No, no, I believe if Sukuna is taking a lover, that's it for him. You are his one and only that he wants to see in such ways. You know how to calm him, how to entertain him, your presence - just like Uraume's - is soothing to him after a long day of dealing with petty annoyances from mortals.
Speaking of Uraume, nothing short of Gege himself telling me otherwise can convince me that Uraume is not Sukuna's adopted kid. (Which honestly, for all the uncle Sukuna fics out there with Yuji and Choso, why is Uraume never included? He actually adopts them in canon!) Sukuna plays it off at first as them just being convenient and helpful when it comes to his food prep, but the fact that Uraume not only feels relaxed enough in Sukuna's presence to joke around but even touch Sukuna without fear of punishment? That says a lot about how much Sukuna enjoys their presence and opinion. As Sukuna's S/O you would need to work to earn Uraume's approval. They would never speak up directly about disliking you, but if you treat them poorly and Sukuna asks about it? You're gone, just like that.
On the reverse side - if Uraume does like you? You're golden and set when it comes to Sukuna. The only other person who's opinion he gives a damn about approves of you? Everyone should just start calling you his Queen now, you're practically married.
This of course, comes with special perks - the most special of all is being able to hold and coddle and kiss the famed and terrifying King of Curses. It makes quiet a sight for visitors to walk into his shrine with offerings and terrified requests for his mercy and/or help only to be met with him sitting on his throne of skulls and bones with you on his lap, caressing his jaw and whispering sweet nothings in his ear while looks on impassively. If these guests are lucky, they won't notice the dusting of pink spread over the bridge of his nose and across each cheek, or on the very tips of his ears, blending in with his pink hair. Sukuna may not react to your love outwardly, but there are still signs that he enjoys it. If anyone besides Uraume were to point it out however, that would mean instant death.
Sukuna is also a fantastic listener, I feel. Even if you aren't one to talk much, compared to him you'll still be the yapper in the relationship because he simply just enjoys being in your presence and doesn't have much to say. He's also exceptionally observant (you have to be in his position and with his love of fighting and maiming) and he will use this to remember your favorite things and give you the most thoughtful gifts you've ever received in your life.
All he asks in response is for your loyalty. He devotes himself to you as his one and only, he expects the same in return.
