The Four Darling Temperaments
Summary: I wanted to write on the different types of self-inserts reaction to dealing with a yandere. I did in MBTI form since that’s always fun. Though, I guess this is more like the 4 Temperament.
Internal feelings: Resistant vs Compliant
Are you motivated to try escaping the situation?
External temperament: Bold vs Calm
How do you react to your yandere?
Are you outspoken or quiet about your problems with the yandere’s behavior?
A scrapper, always fighting your Yandere. Goes out your way to annoy them and to fight your way out of their clutches. In fandoms where combat is common (be it fantasy, sci-fi, superhero, action thriller, etc), this darling would be one of the combatants. However, your yandere is typically stronger than you are.
Calm-Resistant: Strategist
This one fights but in a different way. You try to use your intellect to get you out of situations and try to be one step ahead of your yandere. Because you’re calm, you can manipulate your yandere into a false sense of security. This is the most likely of darlings to successfully escape, or escape the longest. Hopefully, your Yandere finds your antics amusing.
Bold-Compliant: Seductive
Manipulative, but only to mitigate the awfulness of the situation. You have given up escaping but you can still use your yandere to your advantage. Examples of manipulating the Yandere: negotiating more freedoms, protect your loved ones, killing your enemies, be used to achieve your dreams. You work best with delusional yanderes.
Calm-Compliant: Submissive
Whether you’re willing, have Stockholm syndrome, or lost hope, you give in. There’s no trick going on with you. You have accepted your place as a darling. Nearly all yanderes see you as the ideal darling, because you do everything a yandere tells you to do. The other types can become submissive (and eventually, they do).
