#sincerely-flawed

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.

After your totally telepathic call for more of my ideas I am once again here in your inbox. We all know that Leone is a unique yandere as in he doesn’t make his affections known and even goes out of his way to visible hate on his darling. I ask you to share with us which others would play “hard to get” with their respective loves.

Should you not be satisfied with just this, a follow up i have is which of them would crack first should their darlings clearly show that their intentions with them are of the romantic nature? (gift giving, compliments, checking up on them often, etc)

With much love and adoration,

Samantha

Leone, Leone. My sweet Leone. Plenty of yanderes put up a facade for their darling, or are just constantly masking, but none quite play hard to get like Leone does. Usually yanderes will act nicer, take Bruno or Narciso for example. I have a sort of mental category that I have my dear old man in, and I have a few others in that category, but none quite act like... that. Pannacotta, Yukako, and Narciso are all of the same caliber (to me, at least), yet they don't put on an act for their darling. Well. That's not quite true. They do, in their own ways. Just not in the way that Leone does it. Perhaps I'll talk about this mental category at a later date. When prompted. Prompt me.

I'm tempted to include Pannacotta, as he can be standoffish and cruel when he first meets someone, but I just don't see him like Leone. He can sort of be, he'll scoff and call his darling all sorts of names out of embarrassment and even sometimes long for her to do things to him, seek him out or touch him some sort of way, but he only likes that in theory. He doesn't truly want the things he fantasizes about because there's no safe way to do it. Usually those who are playing hard to get want someone that will see through it, it's a game that will get them what they want, attention or affection or otherwise. Pannacotta would likely freak out, to put it gently, if his darling thought he was playing hard to get and pushed him. Not the type of boy- oh, so sorry, young man- to be pushed. There's also the fact that Pannacotta can possibly, genuinely, loathe his darling. Is it really playing hard to get if he wants her pretty little head on a stick? Is it truly? Is it playing hard to get if he just hates her, and yet can't get her sweet, stupid face out of his head? Perhaps it's not something to ask him about. Her Highness loves questions, however.

So who does act hard to get, and actually wants something to be done about it?

Well, let's give the old man some attention, and really look at his psychology, first. Leone longs to be chased. He huffs, and he flips his hair, and he scoffs, and he scowls, and he wants to be wanted. As all yanderes of this niche do. Leone's mood swings kind of, sort of (See: Sarcasm) ruin his life. It can be very jarring to deal with him at times. Hot-and-cold. He's the type of man that will play with Narancia early in the morning, let him hang from his arms like a he's a sort of human jungle gym, but when the afternoon rolls around he's back to scoffing and huffing and bitching about how loud he is. When it comes to his darling, one day he'll be attentive and the next he'll walk out of a room the second she comes in. She saw you. Why would you do that.

The answer is for attention. He's attention seeking. It's all for attention. He's deeply obsessed and needs a small little hit so he acts out. So, to answer your question, attention seekers who do not care about attention being positive, or prefer it to be negative. My histrionics and my borderlines, my obsessives and my possessives.

And where does that bring me to? Well, the prince of British horse racing. Diego.

His pride blinds him, at times. Well. Often. Diego seeks world domination and yet he himself craves being dominated. Average brat, really. He's the type of man that requires a handler, yet the idea frightens him, so he becomes flighty the second someone actually wants him. I often find myself thinking that Diego is the type of traumatized individual that thinks "If you love me, you'll sexualize me" and "If you love me, you don't sexualize me" at the same time. He's never happy. He gets that attention he acts out for, it frightens him, he avoids his darling yet still feels strongly for them. He doesn't get that attention, he continues to act out and will become aggressive to receive anything.

He'll insult his darling, harass them, demean them, anything that will get him a reaction. He'll flirt, and peacock, he'll give all sorts of things a good try. As long as Diego makes a mark in his darling's memory, it's all going according to plan. When Diego spouts his usual pompous nonsense, all he's really saying is "Look at me! Adore me! Love me!"

And God, is he screaming it. Diego has the audacity to out perform his darling and then dream sweet dreams of them on the same night. He's better than you, you need to accept it, okay I love you goodnight where's my forehead kiss. I'm not even covering his random mood swings and his tendency to (laundry list of complaints).

It's more bearable when Hotpants is reigning him in, but since that relationship isn't romantic in nature, he'll continue to seek out what he really wants regardless of his hindrances. Once his heart belongs to someone, his tail only wags for them. It's only good if it's you.

I think your idea is simply genius, so many people burn themselves out by wanting to pour their all into every little thing they do. Your Highness deserves to blurt out whatever they want whenever they want.

(Plus it will be wonderful to hear your voice more often even if it's just a short sentence)

With greatest love and happiness, have a beautiful birthday, Prince)

Thank you. ♡

It will take a while to get used to it, but I hope to become more comfortable just.... doing such. Look, I'll do it right now.

Pannacotta is the type to be embarrassed over the fact that he smokes. He quite literally thinks it's absolutely humiliating to have an addiction he entirely could've avoided. Ugh. He feels like Leone. Do you know how much money he's wasting on this? He could be spending it on— as if he'd tell you what he wants to spend his money on. (See: His darling.)

He also has this fantasy of taking a drag, blowing it into his darling’s mouth with a kiss, and watching them cough— hopefully for more than a few seconds. It's rather sadistic of him, for a young man that considers himself to be drawn towards 'caretaker' roles in relationships.

Pannacotta enjoys being snarky and ‘witty,’ so he'd say something 'suave' afterwards, but... he actually has no idea what he'd say. If he says some line, he'd feel like Guido. But worse. Because he isn't supposed to say moronic one liners after kissing someone he's... fond of. Or kissing in general. God. Ignore him. Just forget this whole thing. You didn't hear anything from him.

(it’s almost 2am when writing this i have work in the morning i NEED TO STOP)

Have an amazing day 😊

I think I've let this sit in my inbox for long enough. It's only been sitting there politely... since January.... I'm very punctual...

It really does make me very happy to hear that. The issue about writing for niches is that it's, well, a niche. For someone as attention seeky as I am (Don't act surprised.), it can be quite disappointing to not receive massive amounts of love for your passion projects, but that was something I accepted as merely being the price for writing what I wanted to write.

... So it is a bit shocking that I have gotten quite a bit of attention on more than one big work, and it always makes my day to hear praise like this. I never truly expected to hear someone say that my works ruined other fanfiction for them. I thought that, maybe, I would have a handful of people that really like my works and that will be all. It's... odd. To me, writing is just talking. It feels like I'm just getting the opportunity to talk about something that's been on my mind for a while, I finally have a proper outlet for all of my little fantasies and morbid ideas. When I receive a request, it's more or less the same thing, although it's nice to be asked.

I'm always grateful for the support that I receive, it makes me happy to see the same little peons liking my works regularly. It's cute.

But that's enough being genuine. I don't have the taste for it, I would much rather tease and play with my peons than say something like this publicly again. I need to have one of you tortured in the square to return my public image back to normal. Which one shall it be....

I hopped into your ask box as soon as I saw your word that it was back open 🙈

I’ll admit that I’ve been on a bit of a “cannibalism as a form of love” run so I want to hear your opinion about Yan!La Squadra finding out there darling literally kills to eat. Perhaps Darling was already part of their crew of assassins so the murder part isn't to out of the ordinary but the eating of the victim sure is…unless Your Highness thinks that maybe one of the existing members indulges in that same form of…hobby

With slight obsession, Samantha

Slight obsession, Samantha? You're always in my notes. I wouldn't be surprised if you feel the equivalent of a shot of heroin every time I respond to one of your comments.

They wouldn't care. Some may tease you for it, but, truly, they've seen it all. Might even get dinner for you. Lets talk about which one of them would be a cannibal, for my own amusement.

Prosciutto's already a good cook, but that's too obvious. So is Risotto, since blood counts on a technicality that I just made up a few seconds ago.

You know who isn't as obvious about it, but can't get the idea out of his head? Ghiaccio. He literally cannot stop thinking about it. It comes out of his mouth as an insult- you know, eating someone can potentially be a form of degradation. You're not even human, you're just a piece of meat, you're lesser, he killed you and now he's eating you, but the idea is so..... no, no, he's not gonna go into freak territory. He's no better than Melone if he goes there.

He mainly thinks about it during dinner. How your flesh would look if he took it off and just ripped into it, what you'd taste the best with, how pretty you'd look dead...

He eats a lot of meat, actually. Protein or whatever. He just keeps moving it around his plate, saving it for last, or chucking it when Prosciutto isn't looking and is too tired to scold him like he's twelve for it. It looks good, but it's not... healthy for him. Forget it, it's stupid. He'll just eat the damn meat and forget about it in an hour.

It's not like it'd even taste good. What is he, Hannibal? Holy fuck. He shouldn't even be thinking about this.

It's kind of cute how he fights himself on it. Really, he's so addicted to his darling that he's going to bite anyway. It's obvious that he inhales your neck because he's hungry. What, do you think he bites your chest because he has a thing for it? Yeah, but he's just trying to break your skin and get what he really wants.

For some reason I always thought that you were a brunette….

Do people.... usually try to guess what online strangers look like? Or is that just an impression thing?

My deepest apologies for not thinking about the size of your cake. Foolishness overcame me in that moment, of course your cake needs to be deserving of being eaten by you.

Hopefully Queen Victoria’s wedding cake is enough to satisfy your palate. Weighting in at a whopping 300 lbs and being around 10 ft wide I know this shall meet your standards of the cake being your height. If not… count me as terrified and intrigued

I spent the last twenty minutes looking at videos of the recreation done for the queen's 70th anniversary of this thing. 9 ft tall is good enough. I most definitely am not that tall. Good.

You sent this so soon after I changed it, are you watching me?

I've always been fond of Mr. Nero, he's in dire need of some attention. Poor thiiing.
