Prince or "Your Highness." | twenty-two | she/her | choleric-melancholic

Welcome to my court, also known as my writing blog where I get all of my morbid rambling out of my system. My requests are currently open, but please be wary of my rules. I am a hobbyist writer that writes exclusively for yandere interpretations & dark subjects.

If you're lost, talk to a knight to find your way. ♡

꒰ Etiquette for court. ꒱

Summer and it’s hot, migraine inducing weather is slowly creeping towards us and alongside come the activities one does during. Taking a trip down to the beach, stopping by an ice cream shop to cool with a sweet treat and of course vacations~ I hope you get to enjoy one Your Highness even if it’s in the comfort of your palace, we all deserve to have some rest in these turbulent times.

My humble petition to you is, what is Your Highness’s thoughts on Bruno’s gang and how they would spend their hypothetical vacation (the boss of course wouldn’t give them vacation days) would they enjoy each others company lounging around by the Amalfi Coast or are would they, if given the chance, step back and rest alone. One can also imagine how they’d be in their darling was around as well, don’t you think?

As always with the most love,

Samantha ♥️

Summer. My natural enemy. I miss the dead of winter, and early spring.... It's so nice to see everything blooming again, though. It's hydrangea season.

Lately I've been into a bit of lemon sorbetto with an oolong blend on the side. Try it. Tell me if you like it.

Bruno will always take the opportunity to go fishing. Does anyone else ever take him up on his little bonding time with Papa? No, his sons don't enjoy fishing, and Leone... I fail to see why I need to elaborate on him. Guido used to go with him, but as Bruno became less and less playful the longer he's been working under Polpo, he's stopped.

He'll find a way to coax his darling into coming with him. He'd be fortunate to find a woman with the same hobby, it would take less... encouragement, let's call it, to get her to go with him. To be alone on a boat with him. In the ocean. Hope you can swim! Bruno tries very hard to be enticing about spending some quality time alone with him, but, really, why would anyone in their right mind follow a bear into cave?

Leone doesn't do anything in particular. He's never been one for special holidays or sightseeing. What's there to see? The only thing he'd enjoy doing for a week straight is shoving his face into his darling. Or cockwarming. That'd be nice. Why don't you ever humor your old man? Oh, is he being demanding? He'll be demanding, then.

Pannacotta only plans trips when he's utterly obsessed with some poor soul that doesn't know they've got the next week of their life scheduled out for them already. If you don't enjoy making an itinerary, at least you'll have the peace of mind that Pannacotta has the next several years planned out for you. Um. He meant days. Look, gelato. He'll buy you some. And log the calories and the particular flavor his darling chooses. (He's having strawberry, so you don't feel lonely.)

Panna's always a bit too happy to schedule those small details, and take record of what does and does not work. He saves up money with the intention of budgeting for that special treat for his darling. Surprisingly, he's rather flexible about the trip itself. It depends on what his darling likes to do. He's fine with the beach, some tourism, a different country that his darling does not speak the language of, or even just several small day-trips.

Narancia is someone that should never, ever, ever, ever be put in charge of a trip. Firstly, he doesn't budget and expects everything to be fine, and secondly, he can't make up his mind on what to do. Yes, what he would like to do. His bitch is cool and flexible like that, the two of them can do whatever and have fun! (Why is your darling crying, Nana?)

He usually likes to do a whole lot of nothing, or several things in a day. His idea of fun varies depending on his energy. He could potentially be into playing videogames all day, and only going outside to run to a convenience store for snacks. Or, he could make his darling's life a living hell, and end up in a totally different country in the middle of the night.

Guido likes to think of himself as easy-going and open-minded. It really depends on what his person is into. If he were all by his sad little lonesome, he'd probably just spend it at the beach, giving passing ladies those puppydog eyes for attention. But his life's been turned around! If his person is really into something in particular, he'd love to treat them to a little outing. It's a huge fantasy of his to be the source of someone dear to him's happiness. Sure, he might not know a whole lot about certain niche things, but if he can make it work then he'll make it work.

To the anon that presumably sent me their card information in the rest of this ask, please do not send anyone any type of money-related information via tumblr ask box. I sincerely worry. Next time you have trouble sending someone something, please send an ask about the situation rather than your card information. I'm sure they will appreciate the sentiment all the same, even if there's extra steps to giving them what you would like to. I could've just responded to this ask directly/publicly, and then everyone would've had your card information, whether that be credit or gift card.

Regarding my ko-fi, I do not feel as if I post frequently enough to warrant little gifts here and there, so keep your money. I honestly should have taken it down ages ago. Perhaps if I ever get back into the habit of posting my writing, I'll start accepting tips again, or even commissions.

I am genuinely so beyond happy to have obtained a physical copy of Purple Haze Feedback, I have had the intention of annotating it ever since I first read it (very legally, mind you) but have never really enjoyed annotating digitally. It feels less intimate.

While I do still fully intend on getting around to finishing that psychology study on Pannacotta that I started... quite some time ago.... at some point after this reread, would it be interesting to post about my thoughts as I read in the meantime?

I believe I made a promise some many moons ago that I would post more random thoughts to take the 'stress' off of solely doing big posts, but I never quite got around to doing that, have I? I've fallen out of the habit of posting entirely, which is... not very ideal. I've considered making this a no longer solely jojos only account to remedy this, as I've been very fixated on a certain someone from a certain something, but I think my personal integrity is getting in the way of that. I like this account solely being for jojo, I still love jojo just as much as I did when I started this account. There's always the possibility of making a second account, but that would be more to manage. I do not know. Many thoughts going on up here. Too many. I'm digressing. I'm attempting the whole 'sharing my feelings' thing.

im so so sorry i didnt want to be a bother and make another ask but i left out the main thing i wanted..

so like, Wes headcanons, but maybe id like it if u went in with the not sfw parts about his innocence preference? sorry again for bothering

I'll play toys with you, anon. Don't fret. I quite enjoy writing Wes, actually. My writing style has changed over the years, and, naturally, my interpretations have grown alongside it. I'm happy something so old is still enjoyable. Even if your taste in men is slightly questionable. Going for the brutes, are you?

This peon's original request was for some general thoughts on Wes, but I'm just going to treat these two asks like they're one, and answer it here. Also, just a small word for this peon in particular, don't call my works "content" of a certain character. Sure, by definition, that is what it is, but I find the term to be so abrasive. Love a little. I do appreciate the praise and the excitement for finding works of your favorites, that is what I started this blog for, but avoid using that specific term with me in that way. Light slap on the wrist. That is all.

Anyway, Wes... This time, I'll be writing for a fem. darling.

Weather is an odd fellow. I like saying it like that. Odd fellow. Aged vernacular for fucking weirdo with an oncoming restraining order. Weather and Wes are two entirely different people to me, although, of course, it's more of a dissociative fugue brought on by amnesia rather than truly being a different individual.

I like to write Weather as weird and invasive, not having any personal space or sense of common decency when it comes to boundaries. Wes has a rather pushy, handsy personality that bleeds through his amnesia, albeit innocently, somewhat. Weather is rather curious about things, and tends to overstep, in his curiosity. Wes is curious, too. Real curious. Just dying to know what kind of underwear his darling's got on under her clothes, so he'll lift a skirt teasingly, undo a belt buckle in a mean, but playful way.

I really do stand by my initial characterization of Wes having a thing for good girls with library cards. Even when he was younger, and a much better guy, he'd always been into sweet types. It's endearing to see such a precious thing wandering about. He finds them fun to play with. A good girl that goes to bed early is likely easy to fluster, and that's amusing, if not just flat out hot. Is it a crime to love to tease and prod?

But, aside from visual appeal, he's just like any other (self-proclaimed) bad man that finds himself occupied with a naturally submissive and agreeable woman. Oh, sorry, girl. He'd find himself in prison one way or another with that kinda talk. Wes is going to take advantage of her, fully. Not really self-proclaimed anymore. Her inexperience, her eagerness to please and do good, it's all cute, and makes his life easier. Why would he want some bitch kicking and screaming at him when he could have a sweet little lady that understands he doesn't want her to be at certain places and..... well, to be honest, Wes has complicated feelings on... a lot of things, regarding his darling.

Perhaps it's him clinging to his own youth. Maybe it's the bitterness he's grown over the years, the resentment for himself and his life that makes him cling to pretty little things without a bad thought in their head. Perhaps it's that resentment itself that makes him so firmly attached, unwilling to let go for even a second. His vindication to 'settle the score' is matched only by his innermost desire for love.

But, that's not something he consciously makes the effort to think about much. He really doesn't have the time for it. Not when he's got a cherry to pop, right?

I tend to see Wes on the dominant side. Weather could experiment, lightly tolerate his darling touching and prodding at his muscles, but Wes would rather focus entirely on his girl. It feels good to be admired, but, honestly, he just wants to eat her out and shove himself into her. It is waaaaay more gratifying to see his precious little lady tense up and try to hide that pretty face of hers, although, now that he's thinking about it, could his dick even fully fit in her mouth? Maybe tomorrow. Or if he wakes up in the middle of the night, and just can't help himself, regardless of how alert his poor, sweet girl is.

Leone's never really been one for party hats and confetti.

It wouldn't fit a man his age, anyway. Even when he was younger, he always had formal birthday parties. He's been rolling his eyes at the effort his little group has been going through lately, they're not even trying to hide the streamers and mixed purple balloons. Pretty sure he saw a banner that said 'dirty thirty' earlier. Wonder who the hell thought that one was funny. It's probably Narancia.

Bruno's group always celebrates birthdays and major holidays, Leone isn't special. If anything, they probably started it out of pity. Guido's plans to keep him from killing himself on a random Tuesday and whatnot. He can't remember actually being asked when his birthday even was, they just threw confetti in his face one year. Got him when he was walking through Bruno's living room doorway.

He was actually touched that they didn't use a party popper. Was a bitch to clean up, though. Not that he helped. Leone was the birthday boy, after all. His special day.

Leone wouldn't expect his darling to know when his birthday is, what his sign is, anything like that. He's pretty sure he's scared the poor thing off by acting insane over the last few months, so his hopes aren't exactly up. His bad for jumping a table to strangle someone because he got a little jealous. He's... normal, usually. Promise. It's touching— sweet, even— for them to take part in Bruno's little game of dollhouse with him. Actually makes it bearable to be alive. Maybe he won't drink tonight. Ehhh....

The whole day, Leone's in a good mood, but his gaze only softens when he's looking at his obsession. It makes a few other team members wildly uncomfortable to see that lovesick stare he does, blatantly looking at the 'love of his life.' The best present he could've asked for was them showing up, paying attention to him. He doesn't even ask for a present. Although, he's greedy, and definitely wants one. A kiss too. Sugar for your old man? Sorry. He's sorry. He was kidding. Come back.

Updated Rules & Regulations. (as of the 11th day of February)

This blog strictly writes for yandere interpretations of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure characters, from Phantom Blood to Steel Ball Run. This includes all main and side characters, including characters from Purple Haze Feedback, Crazy Diamond’s Demonic Heartbreak, and Golden Heart, Golden Ring.  

This blog follows the “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” tagging system. I try to tag as much as I can, although I often make mistakes and forget to tag things properly. This is your official warning that my blog depicts physical & emotional abuse, sexual scenarios, multiple forms of self-harm, rape/sexual assault, drug & substance abuse, and more subjects in that category. My blog is intended for a mature audience only. 

Alongside my yandere interpretations, I also enjoy writing about odd and niche fetishes that I’ve deemed suitable for their psychology. I have a tendency to write about misogyny and complexes regarding age, although I will not claim that to be niche in the slightest. If you are unsure about a subject, merely ask, and I will likely find something to talk about with it. That being said, I absolutely will not write for DDLG/any other variant of that. I am willing (and ready to) write about large age gaps and age-related topics, but not the kind that sexualizes children. I also do not want to write about incest, although I believe some characters have some sort of familial complex and will talk about that extensively if prompted. 

This is not a comfort blog. I have absolutely zero intentions of comforting requesters. While I sometimes write about comforting things, I do not wish to take requests that are blatant bait for emotional support from a stranger on the internet. Please find another blog for that. 

Additionally, I really do not enjoy taking requests that involve a specific darling. While I do enjoy talking about how my interpretations handle different people and situations, I feel as if my requesters have forgotten that I mainly want to talk about the characters, and not them. From now on, I am no longer taking requests regarding darling behavior, and would like to focus solely on the characters themselves. I will still be posting thoughts on how certain characters deal with certain behaviors/people, but I am no longer taking requests that ask me something involving a darling. To avoid me auto-deleting your request, please take your wording into careful consideration. You should say a request like “Do you think Jonathan would enjoy dominating?” rather than “How do you think Jonathan would like a submissive darling?” to get your question answered. 

As for requests that I am still open to taking: 

Headcannons for my interpretations.

Descriptions of my interpretation of a character, or small group of characters. (1-3ish.) Besides from general characterization and how that translates into a yandere interpretation, this includes what I think a character dresses like, smells like, if they have any fetishes, etc. The overly specific details, for my freaks who happen to be into those. 

AUs of my interpretations.

Should any of that not make sense, feel free to send in any questions you may have.

It's true that I've fallen out of the habit of posting regularly. I think I've just lacked motivation to post lately, which is a shame. It's sweet that my absence has an effect on my peons. That being said, what a darling request. Send another.

Lovely, lovely Leone is an awful man with awful personality traits. I tend to write him as one of those older men who went through their sexual awakening in the 90s bdsm scene. He has a lot of experience doing all sorts of things, but not in keeping relationships. Poor thing.

He used to be rather experimental, and by that I mean he used sex as a way to forget about the troubles of his life, sex and alcohol. No cigarettes, though. Those will give you wrinkles. While I think he had no preference regarding bottoming or topping while in said experimental self-harm era of his early twenties, Leone is now generally submissive in nature, and really only wants to be dominant in his actual long-term relationships 10% of the time. Relationship. Singular. It's you or death, sweetheart.

He could do it any kind of way, and is well aware that you do not have to bottom to submit, but Leone gravitates towards submitting in the traditional sense. He wants to be penetrated and told he's pretty. He loves attention and wants his partner to focus on him. He gives every submissive individual in the world a bad name with how selfish he is. He knows better than to hog all the love and affection and attention, but he still does it. You should really punish him. Not in the fun way.

Leone's really quite whiny, and vocal. He never shuts up until his darling makes him shut up. God, gag him. Wait, let him redo his lipstick first, he wants the visual to be just perfect. Push him to the edge and take photos of him in his whoredom. Make him cry. Tell him he's just your cocksleeve. (Even if it's a strap-on.)

All that being said... Leone is moody, and sometimes gets the urge for something else. I see him as the type of switch that changes depending on his mood rather than the relationship. Awful news for when he falls for someone that prefers to be in a fixed dynamic. He doesn't really make any effort to announce that he's in the mood to change things up, he simply comes onto his darling in a different way than normal.

It's not unusual for Leone to come up behind his darling normally, but when he's in this mood, he's a lot more handsy... well, he's usually handsy as well, but he won't stop at hearing the 'suggestion' that he should go bother someone else. He does his usual spiel about how gorgeous his darling is, grabs a handful, and shoves his face into their neck before they can move out of the way. Not that moving would be an issue. Leone's a sizable man, of sizable nature. Not going to squirm out of his fingers anytime soon. All he wants is one nice, deep inhale and he'll be happy. Come on. You're no fun.

Leone loves to dirty talk when he's got aaaall the power. He genuinely just cannot help himself when it comes to whispering filthy, saccharine words directly into his darling's ear. Leone's voice is low, and gruff, it almost sounds like he's growling at times. Suppose his darling just brings out the predator in him.

Call him an ambush predator this time around. (Will he give up calling himself that? We already know he'd go for someone younger than him.) He enjoys pouncing on his darling more than actual penetration. Well... don't count that out just yet, but sometimes it truly is more fun to pin down his darling when they've been evading him all day. Trap 'em against the kitchen counter, or in the dead end hallway of his apartment. What are you gonna do? Gonna try and slip past him? You're so cute sometimes. Really makes his head hurt.

When it comes to actual penetration, Leone is cruel and unusual. He enjoys drawing things out, and when his darling complains, he'll give them too much of what they want. Careful what you ask for.

I was wondering how differently Ghiaccio would be if he was a woman. Would fem Ghiaccio be like a femcel, where she still has a lot of insecurities and chronically online (so pretty much regular Ghiaccio). Instead of looking down on women, she looks down on men and sees them as emotionally fragile scumbags who secretly depend on female validation (even though that’s how she acts around darling).

How would fem Ghiaccio act around her darling? I’m writing this with a fem darling in mind, but masc darling is interesting too.

Good ask, peon. I have a lot of thoughts on her. Some would say I'm fond.

Ghiaccio is one of those characters that, no matter his gender, he is very attached to his masculinity. Removing his masculinity makes him less Ghiaccio, and my goal is to keep all of his Ghiaccioness wrapped up nicely with a bow. He would scoff hearing that. When it comes to fem Ghiaccio, she's still very attached to masculinity, and would be defined in modern terms as a very gender-non conforming woman.

Of course, to Ghiaccio though, labels like that mean you're a queer. I have news for her.

I more or less think that they popped out the same way, although fem Ghiaccio has a bit of a complex about her gender on top of regular Ghiaccio's thousand other complexes. It's not that she's upset about being a woman, it's that her relationship with womanhood is more complex than Ghiaccio's relationship with his manhood. She loves being a woman. Why the hell would she want to be a degenerate (REDACTED: NOT NICE WORD). She just.. does not align herself with traditional ideas for what a woman 'should be' at all, but very easily identifies with what's typically expected of a man. It's not that complex, really. Go talk to the average butch lesbian about their relationship with womanhood & gender and come back to me.

It probably didn't help that her online history is the exact same as regular Ghiaccio's. "Boy" videogames. 4chan forums. Porn. Of course she's going to turn out sexist, making everything significantly more complex than it needs to be. I wouldn't really put her in the strictly misandrist category, though. Of course she is, you probably know the word I redacted out before, but she's sexist towards women, too. It's just that she doesn't hate women. Stay with me now. I know this one's a little difficult.

Ghiaccio doesn't necessarily look down on women, it's just that... he's the type of person to hurt someone before they can hurt him. He's playing on the defensive constantly, by being aggressive. Nice, real secure. He values women's opinions a lot more than men's. It stings more when a woman doesn't approve of him, or is upset with him. And, bluntly, he's sexist in the self-hating man way. That typical insecure mid-to-late-twenties guy that's mean because he doesn't want to get hurt. If he's mean first, then that sets the tone for the rest of the relationship, and it helps him avoid the rejection of a woman. In his point of view, anyway. Reality tends to differ.

Ghiaccio never has any value in men's opinions, no matter his gender. You don't get value from men. You get it from women. See? See what I mean? They're just degenerates who do nothing productive in society. Women are... soft. And pretty. And smell nice. And. It doesn't matter stop fucking asking him about it.

I think it's important to keep this aspect of Ghiaccio when swapping his gender. Ghiaccio doesn't care for male validation in the slightest. He cares about female validation. Whenever a man is mean to him, he's mean right back, and forgets about it in an hour. That jerk-off doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. When a woman is mean to him, he's ten and not good enough again. He's mean to her, of course he is, but it stays in his heart for longer than it should.

Fem Ghiaccio is the exact same way, she's extremely terrified of getting rejected by a pretty girl, so she's mean right off the bat. The meaner she is, the more attracted to someone she is. Ever heard that one before? When you weren't five? She says she hates ditzy bimbos that constantly have their tits out, but she can't get off unless she's looking at a pretty girl. She says she hates girly, sweet types, but her heart melts at the idea of one being nice to her. Oh what she'd give to let some dumb bitch use her computer for some lame girl game.

She's the type to collect figurines of busty, girly women and tell herself it's fine because she's not some (REDACTED: NOT NICE WORD) male that's doing it. She lusts after them in the exact same way. I have no further notes on this one.

One small note before I pivot back to actually talking about yandere behavior.... Her physique is more or less the same. I'd put her at the same height as male Ghiaccio, which takes her out of the semi short leaning man category (I have long since forgotten how tall I made him originally) and into the tall woman one. She has broad shoulders, no distinct waist, and hair on her forearms. She compulsively works out.

But, anyway. I've digressed long enough.

Some of my interpretations have a bit of a type that they're attracted to, and Ghiaccio is one of them. It's very obvious that she loves girls that love pink and actually like their femininity. It drives her up the wall to see a girl wearing a skirt in winter. God, she wants to spoil a girl like that. I think Ghiaccio likes two main archetypes of feminine women: Girly, sweet types that have a library card and say "thank you" for everything & spoiled bitches that will demand for Ghiaccio to pay for their "maintenances." She also likes more mature types sometimes. It depends on her mood for what porn category she'll watch that day.

When it comes to finding a darling, she's likely to go for someone that's the perfect example of one of those archetypes, or has qualities of multiple. After all, humans are complex and sometimes have traits that don't match their others. It's normal for a sweet, girly type to also be a bit princessy sometimes. You'd know that if you talked to real women...

I think Ghiaccio can actually be rather shy when she has a crush, just like her male counterpart. It's just cuter, because her face actually goes red whenever she looks at something (Thing?) she likes for too long. She acts curt, and like her darling is such a huge problem or in her way, but she loves to be bothered. Pick her pick her pick her.

She's even worse than male Ghiaccio on that front, because she's more avoidant and her hands actually tremble at the sight of something she really likes. She's just.. cold. (Turn off White Album, maybe?) And who even fucking cares anyway, why are you looking at her so intensely? You got a fucking problem with the way she stands? Fuck off. Fuck!

She's very embarrassed over the way she acts in front of her darling, she wants to be... cool. Attractive. But, it's Ghiaccio. She fumbles often and gets aggressive because she's flustered. She'll go to town on her punching bag over it later to cope.

Ghiaccio would kill to do something cute with her darling. Take her out to get gelato together (That she won't eat, but insists on feeding her darling), go on a cute typical date... She just has a really hard time admitting that that's something she also wants to do, so she acts like she's doing her darling such a huge favor.

And, you know, she probably is doing her darling a favor, seeing as this is the first outside time her darling has had in two months. Sure, Ghiaccio is holding onto her wrist like she has the intention to snap it, but they're outside together. Isn't that what her darling wanted?

I think I have repeatedly stated that I want to post more, especially that I want to post small, meaningless tidbits of my thoughts every once in a while. I psych myself out often. I tell myself 'this is silly,' and purge it out of reality. That, or I find myself getting shy, and purge it out of embarrassment. But, here is something silly, for once. I hope that in the future I will just post without reason.

I have some random thoughts on new year's resolutions...

Bruno wants to spend more time with his family. He feels so awful that he has to leave his darling at home all day, and that they only have quality time in the evening.

Guido wants to quit smoking, it’s his third year saying that. 

Pannacotta thinks new year’s resolutions are childish and lessen your chances of actually doing whatever goal you have. (He wants to tell his darling how he feels bluntly, in an eloquent manner.) 

Narancia wants to somehow become loaded this year, which is an improvement from last year's resolution, where he wanted a 'totally hot babe' to call his own.

Leone jokingly says he wants to stop drinking. It’s his seventh year saying that. No one ever laughs.

If this is who I believe it is, you did not, no. They've since been banished to the swamp. Try again anytime you'd like, peon.

A side note: My requests are still open for the time being, I am just sloooowly combing through them at my leisure. I have a handful I'd like to put a lot of thought into, but chronic pain and life gets in my way. Not that I need an excuse or anything, this is my blog, I only answer what I want at my own pace. I am merely whining. I quite like to whine. Because God has cursed me. My organs, rather. How quaint. (My whining is not limited to my organs. I had to go without a sweet treat the other day. I'm still recovering.)

I will be mass deleting asks that I have no intention of entertaining in my inbox this upcoming week, so for anyone else who would like to try again after their initial failure to request something from me properly, I suggest attempting again once I've announced that all of the asks in my inbox that I do plan on answering have already been answered and posted.

In conclusion: Send in a new thought at any time, wait patiently for me to announce that I've cleared out my inbox if you've already sent something in and desperately want my opinion on it still.

Leone and Narancia are sort of like step-father and step-son to me. Vaguely. There's this supposed authority, but there's clearly a lack of respect. Some would say, "Shouldn't you say he's like a babysitter, since Leone doesn't have a romantic relationship with Narancia's father figure?" but I disagree. The lack of respect is key in their relationship. And Leone isn't getting paid for this. The only way to properly describe their relationship is by comparing it to a step-son calling their step-father by their first name, or "My mom's boyfriend."

Despite this, they get along fairly well. In the moments where Narancia forgets that Leone used to be a cop. Really, only those moments. It's kind of sweet to watch Narancia crawl all over Leone like a jungle gym, and Leone tolerating it. It's nice. Until they get into a massive argument because someone's tone was slightly off. They're both a little rejection sensitive, you know...

I’m sincerely obsessed with your characterization of Risotto. It speaks to me (and maybe my daddy issues.) He’s unfortunately exactly my type. Imagine someone was trying to make his darlings life difficult, a pushy suitor or a rude boss, even a family member they didn’t quite get along with. Would he murder without a second thought or try to intimidate the person? I’m eager to know your thoughts. Thank you in advance

I like to think of Mr. Nero as something of a guardian angel. Except, he isn't Michael. He's not such a bleeding heart that every poor person getting sexually harassed will be saved by him. Only you.

It's unfortunate, but he's not a vigilante.

Although it does vary given the circumstance, Risotto has no issues killing off some man following his darling down a dark alleyway. That's what he's there for. His darling won't even know they were being followed. Or, are being followed. He's still there. Other guy isn't.

Would he kill off a rude boss simply for being rude? Not really. He'd have to murder the majority of Italy if that were the case. A man his age is not quick to anger, and, really, he has no interest in smiting your enemies. He protects you. Keeps you safe. He locks your door when you forget. He shuts your blinds. He puts leftovers made by Prosciutto in the back of your fridge when you don't have any energy to cook. Nobody believes Formaggio when he says he didn't take it... (Who would? Slimy bastard tries to take it out of the pot before it's even done cooking.)

Risotto will always punish physical harm, but he chooses to just comfort emotional harm as much as he can later. He's not going to kill someone for being rude, or even mean. Although... he would kill an abuser, so I suppose it's sort of a grey area for him. It depends. It gets more complicated if it's not simple physical harm. It agitates him to see his darling mistreated, but it's not the time for him to be agitated. It's time for him to watch. Plan. Figure out what to do.

Risotto may physically be standing next to his darling, but it's not like they have any idea. The man can turn invisible for however long he wants. He's patient, like an ambush predator. What kind of predator do I think Risotto would be, specifically? I tend to think of him as very timid, but sizable animals because of his nature. Maybe just himself. I digress.

Risotto does not want to be involved in his darling's life, at least overly so. Of course, he does want to be involved, a copious amount, but he does not need you to remember his face. He's happy when his darling is happy. When they do a cute little dance because they 'forgot' they had food leftover. When they come home to a warm apartment in the middle of a snowstorm, because the thermostat has been adjusted while they've been away. When his darling thanks God, or the universe, or anything really, he gets the same feeling as if they're thanking him. Even if it's just a sigh of relief.

So, if people were to remember his face and associate it with you, that is a problem. A huge problem. You'd find out, sooner or later, and then he'd either have to stop or scoop you up. Of course, it would be much easier if he could use his presence to deter other predators from his darling's life. His size alone is a natural deterrent, but it's not so simple. You're not in the wild.

Risotto does not have many indulgences. Sure, sometimes he'll have a drink from the cabinet. Sure, sometimes he'll allow himself to sit in the living room and watch the 'kids.' (They're all in their mid twenties by now) Sure, he.. has a secret hobby of watching a stranger's every move. It's quite possible that this is the first time Risotto has indulged in a few decades. Not since his early twenties, at least. It's somewhat nostalgic. Being in love. He feels alive when he sees his darling merely being themself.

So, he's not going to ruin it until something forces his hand. Threats are... well, for men much younger. Maybe you'll understand when you're his age.

I hope you’ve been doing well.

Your writing is like the divine source of life. I could kiss your hands (if you allow me, of course) and write odes to your brilliant mind. More people should appreciate your writing and I hope you will always find inspiration to create what you wish.

I really love how you’ve written Risotto. He's so gentle and it makes me think that he's truly a good man and deserves the best. I've been craving more writing of him.

I keep thinking of a darling who is like a scaredy-cat at first, afraid of everything and everyone when Risotto whisks them away, even afraid of their own shadow. But over time, they realize he doesn’t want to hurt them. If anything, he spoils them rotten. That fear slowly fades and the shy little kitten grows into a bold, spoiled cat who’s decided his place is actually theirs.

At first it’s just harmless jokes, like, oh, I’d die to have that thing. And then, bam, they got the thing and Risotto gives them these puppy dog eyes in hopes it would satisfy them.

Could his darling shift the power dynamic after some time? Maybe they make it clear that he only gets their affection when he gives them what they want (especially when they're asking in that sweet voice he can't resist).

Anyway, I just wanted to say once more how much I love indulging in your ideas.

Sincerely yours,

No touching. Praise is always demanded welcome, however. It's so sweet when peons encourage me.

I have always thought that Risotto would treat his darling as if he knows they are frightened, regardless of their disposition, because, well.... you cannot really hide it from him. Men his age know how to spot fear.

Hitmen his age do, rather.

Risotto views his darling's behavior in the same way you would view a new pet coming home. Let me clarify. When you bring a kitten or an older cat home, there's this adjustment period, and all of the behavior shown in that period should be disregarded in the future. Fear is an excellent excuse for biting, hissing, scratching, even running. For a time.

That time will pass, eventually, though. Time will always pass. Risotto is a patient man, despite his career.

It really is a miracle he got to such an age.

Risotto's type of darling usually goes one of two ways. Kitten who is small and trembling and helpless, or big fat cat that demands dinner by pushing glasses off of tables. He does very well with the both of them, he's quite the handler. It takes a certain type of man to be able to handle a spoiled brat, keeping one happy without letting them go rotten is quite the task.

Something you should know about human psychology is that one person can meet both of those niches at different times, different stages of their life, whatever. He is not someone who nitpicks, but it does please him when his shy little doe huffs at him for the first time. Displeasure is a sign of safety, sometimes. Some people need to feel safe before they start acting bratty. It's progress. Wonderful.

He's not very fond of fawning. But, prey animals are prone to this. It's not that he's upset, it's just that... he wishes things were different. That is all. Did you know that rabbits in particular fawn for survival? Oftentimes when they're overwhelmed, they start giving a bit too much affection to their handler, owner, person, whatever you would like to call the human being that takes care of them. I just realized I forgot the word caretaker. That's probably telling. If you put a rabbit in a high spot, such as a countertop or table, and they didn't like it, they would kiss your hands or your face and smush their nose into you. Why? Because they're frightened and fawning makes you pay attention to them. Some humans are similar, and... Risotto has seen many, many people just before they die. He knows it is an option that's likely to happen.

Risotto is extremely aware of his appearance, but it's not like he can just.. stop looking a certain way. Nothing will change his size. Nothing can change his face, or how he's learned to carry himself. Have you ever heard that saying, you cannot teach an old dog new tricks? Years and years of stalking his prey and stifling his emotions about it have made him... contained. Calm. Rational. He doesn't need to fall into a persona to do his job, he is capable on his own. Unlike the other currently known capo, Risotto is nothing but his role. And... rather timid, when he's off the clock, actually.

I do not believe Risotto actually knows how to go about approaching his darling. He maintains distance for a very long time because of this. Forgive him. Taking his darling home was... not ideal, but it must have been life or death. There is no reality where Risotto puts his darling in an apartment with six to eight (depending on the time) other strangers, especially when he knows they are the anxious type, without there being some real danger in his darling's life. Proximity to his line of work does not guarantee safety. Quite the opposite.

There are natural behaviors that Risotto cannot fault. Especially in such a situation. Do you blame a kitten for hissing and swatting when you know why they're hissing and swatting? Do you blame a rabbit for kissing your hands when they need help? Do you blame a dog for getting aggressive or hiding when they don't understand what's going on? No. It is merely their nature. As is his darling's nature.

And... for his darling's nature to change, over time... well, that is a fact of life as well. A fact that makes him quite happy. They must be getting more comfortable with him. Hopefully.

I think it's silly that you think a dynamic like this can "change" to his darling having more power, when, really, his darling has quite a bit of control right off the bat. Risotto's nature is passive with his darling, although he's firm about quite a few things. He's not going to restrain a kitten that just got here a few days ago from exploring their new environment, although he will contain them in one room, as to not overwhelm them.

Risotto's darling has a lot of room to stretch out and demand expensive cat food. He'd be thrilled, really. I think all Risotto wants is for his darling to be happy. He's so preoccupied with not stressing them out that he won't even initiate the touch that he craves, just... prays that one day, his darling will crawl on him. Similar to a cat crawling onto their favorite human's lap out of the blue. He's unsure if he should pet them, though, so he just... holds his arms out, to act as support bars, if necessary.

Also... he can tell you're trying to condition him. It's cute. He really does think it's cute. He should probably punish such behavior, but he just can't bring himself to.

I hope you had a wonderful birthday! what was your favorite gift that you received?

i was wondering if i could get your opinion on how yandere josuke would react to his darling thinking he’s cheating? i keep seeing all these stories online about how men who cheat usually end up projecting onto their partners and being really suspicious of them and constantly tracking their location and asking for frequent updates. you don’t have to include this in the post but i’m personally a little paranoid in relationships because i’ve been cheated on before </3

tysm Your Highness!

Mmmm.... hard pick. Likely a doll I received, if not some new clothing I've been wearing a bit too much. Her Highness loves to doll herself up.

Men's psychology is so... odd. I'm afraid I'll never quite understand it. This is an absolutely sweeping generalization, of course, but those types of men really do love to project. Josuke, however, is absolutely horrified at the accusation. He's not a cheater! He's only got room in his heart for one girl! I've yet to think of a gender neutral term that Josuke would use for his darling. He's just that type of boy that calls his feminine darling "his girl," but I've yet to think of a term he'd use that's gender neutral or masculine. Oops. I'll think on it. Anyway...

He doesn't want your location because he thinks you're doing something, he wants it because he's..... worried you're not? Okay that sounds bad. He's worried about his darling's health! You know, getting out and doing things, socializing and all that, it's good for you! He wants to make sure all of your needs are met! That you've got friends, that they're all treating you good and... whatnot. Is that bad?

He's just emotionally invested in his favorite person ever! Josuke wants to know aaaall about whatever his darling is doing, even if it's just doomscrolling and rotting away that pretty little brain of yours. If his darling goes to a store, he's practically begging for a little haul. Even if it's a mini haul! Even if it's... one thing. Come on, he's interested, is that so bad? It's not like you need his permission to buy something and it's definitely not like he's going to shame yooou, he just wants to know! Good boyfriends are involved! Come on, just a picture? It can be blurry! Maybe just facetime him?

Really, I don't blame you for reading Josuke's behavior as controlling. If you didn't know him, you'd totally think he was a freak. He needs to know every little thing his darling buys or even looks at, what they've been thinking about, what they're up to, and, really, he's just figuring out how to get himself involved to do it together. Josuke is the type of guy that just can't live with himself if he doesn't see his darling every single day, even if he pretends he's cool and low maintenance for a boyfriend.

Yeah, totally, see him only three two times a week, he's a cool guy that doesn't need a lot of attention! Aha! Just make sure you keep texting him every once in a while so he knows you're not dea— uuuhhhh, knows you're doing all good! He has the right to worry about his partner. Not that, uh, he's too worried. Yyyyeah.

Nooo, no way, he's totally not some batshit crazy guy either that's gonna flip his lid on you or anything if he doesn't know what you're up to, ha ha ha, but, uh, you know, he kinda did notice you stopped sharing your location with him and all your friends are suddenly nonbinary in all of the stories you tell, are we all good?

You can't possibly think it's cool to not update your boyfriend on where you are and who you're with. I genuinely believe that Josuke wants his darling to have friends, have a normal life. He just, also... can't live with himself if he's not his darling's dream guy. Josuke acts like he doesn't really care who you're hanging out with, but, really, he cares a lot. Yeah, totally, he wants his darling to have friends! For sure! It's just, also, like, you don't think any of them are funnier than he is, do you?

And then you drop the cheating bomb on him. And he probably starts crying, honestly. Aaaaall that hard work to seem like a normal, non-overbearing boyfriend, down the drain. God. He's so mad at himself. He lets you go through anything you want— his phone, his room, even his laptop, all so you can have evidence that he's not cheating on you. He tries to play cool guy the next day, when you've "made up," but the damage is already done. You know he's extremely sensitive now. Man, what the hell is he gonna do about that...
