With the open sides, actual collar, voice lines, and that time in his hangout quest where he basically tells us that he would like it if someone else took charge…

Sub Heizou.

the kind of sub that will hand you an odd remote in public without explanation, and let you figure out that he’s just handed you the remote to the vibrator inside him currently.

the kind of sub to bring you new toys to use on him, like a dog with a new ball or interesting stick

the kind of sub that uses the outfits and such he’s supposed to use to go undercover to roleplay and fuck around with you.

the kind of sub that intentionally gets you jealous by being a bit friendly with some of the people he meets each day, just so you’ll stuff him full and overstimulate him until the only thing he can use that genius little brain for is begging for mercy— which, he can barely even manage.

Sub Heizou. We love our dear detective ❤️

you guys actually think this guy, who’s always ranting about his family, who is huge on loyalty, this golden retriever ass toddler-adjacent man who would absolutely “Hey, babe! Look what I can do!” *does something really stupid* “See? I’m so cool”. You guys think he’s the one cheating on you? Nah. He’s probably out looking for a stick for you to throw for him 💀💀

Kunikuzushi, before he interacts with anyone? Mine

Rescuing Alatus before Morax can? Mine

Snatching Dorian/Subject 2? Mine

For good measure, saving the little whopperflower clone as well? Mine

Aether before he sets off on his adventure, promising I’ll find his sister if he just stays with me? Mine

(Basically, a Yandere/Manipulative reader takes the innocent or lost characters (Kunikuzushi or Alatus as examples) away, with smut.)

(This would end up being pretty… “dead dove, do not eat”, if I do decide to write it.)

i fink there are two reasons that play a big part in these incongruous characterizations: 1) most of these writers hadn't played the game and they're mostly getting their info from second sources (fanfics - tiktoc - memes, etc etc), and 2) writers prioritize the angsty plot over portraying the characters in a believable light... this narrative method of IMPOSING scenarios over characters relies on having them be as PASSIVE as possible bc if they as much as have a vestige of their canon personality, the plot will just crumble in an instant.

also can we blease think about the sort of pet names the characters would use for the reader before throwing it around haphazardly. i may not be the best person out there who could conjecture abt the character's habits when they're in love, but I'm p sure 90% of them won't call the reader 'babygirl' or 'kitten' casually...

yeah... so... sorry for the ramble!! im just glad I found ur blog!!! keep up the great work <3!!!

oh Jesus when was this asked? Never saw it. But yeah 100%, makes sense.

I loved themed and realistic nicknames. Xiao using “quingxin” is always nice. Neuvi and Zhongli are more likely to be traditional with a “darling” or “dear”. Advocate for Heizou using “love”. Wanderer/Scara, of course, with “idiot” or “dumbass”. Oh, and Kazuha has something really poetic and meaningful he uses. Aether uses something from a previous world he visited that he really liked.

why?
