YellowBlue’s homepage!

hes not picking every little thing apart because hes angry at the fact he got to see jabber the same way he gets to. no. its because he just cares about good form on the team!

he doesn’t hate the fact that fu broke his arm. he doesn’t hate the fact that fu got to hear jabbers screams after he broke his arm. he doesn’t attempt to break every waking bone in jabbers body because of it.

After Zanka’s got his entire world rocked he’s like “So… Aphrodisiac??”

Anyways. Zanka is absolutely a biter.

In the beginning it starts out as purely a defensive mechanism, Zanka biting and snapping at anything that came too close. Of course, Jabber tested to see everything about he could. What triggered it, how hair pin was it, how strong his will to bite was when intoxicated.

Only this starts to train Zanka out of defensive biting. He grows to expect what Jabber's about to do, so he decides it's time to beat him to the punchline.

It's small things, here and there when Jabber puts himself too close to Zanka's mouth. Teeth itching to sinking into skin and muscle to teach Jabber a lesson.

Things get heated, intense, adrenaline is pumping harder than usual. The fight is close between them, and Zanka rolls Jabber to his back, on top of him. Close quarters isn't conducive to Lovely, but he can't fucking lose this.

Instinct propels his turning mind over, lips curling back on his teeth and mouth lunging, open, snarling, for Jabber's throat.

The sounds of their souls brushing against one another.

The sound of Mankira brushing against Lovely becoming a sort of greeting and farewell.

The sound becoming the beginning of foreplay.

with jabber he gets all snappy and overwhelmingly clingy. wont leave him alone and when zanka asks for space or something jabber immediately accuses him of wanting to be with whoever he was jealous of

Mutually toxic and oh so codependent. jabber wanting to keep zanka around because he likes the feeling of being loved so deeply by someone,even if he cant return those feelings back. zanka wanting to keep jabber around because hes desperate for the feeling of someone truly and honestly understanding him like jabber does. they both know what it takes to keep each other around. so they say what they know will grab the others attention

“They wont love this part of you. not like i do.”

“No one else will ever care for you like this. No one.”

“What will they think when they see what youve done to me? how badly you hurt me? you think they’ll accept you seeing what you did?”

“people like you dont get to be happy. they dont get second chances. youre better off staying with me. im the closest thing youll ever get to a happy end.”

“Youre a monster. an awful one at that. you hurt people,and you enjoy that they hurt because of you. who’d accept that? but its okay. i like that youre a monster. stay with me and we can be monsters together.”

Jabber subtly training Zanka to do stuff by rewarding him with attention and praise (which is still disguised via ragebaiting bc it's Jabber), but also by being super responsive and openly pleased

Zanka marking his territory by leaving bruises and bite marks everywhere (especially in highly visible places)

Zanka getting aggro about other people approaching Jabber, and manhandling him like a herding dog to keep him out of trouble and move him to where they're supposed to be going

Zanka chewing on Jabber like a dog with a toy, obviously

(His love of sticks also belongs somewhere in here lol)

Zanka (begrudgingly) fetching Jabber anything he mentions wanting or even asks about

Jabber giving Zanka a bracelet or some other kind of jewelry as a claim of sorts (like a collar), which Zanka smugly wears everywhere as proof to himself that he's Jabber's (that he's worth Jabber’s regard, and that Jabber trusts him to hold onto it)

Zanka refusing to let go of Jabber and tracking him down if he shows any indication of not wanting him any more

Zanka being unfailingly dedicated to proving that he's perfect for Jabber and never leaving, even when Jabber gets freaked out by his loyalty and tries to push him away

Jabber slowly letting go of the insincere aspects of his off putting and high energy mania, which he uses to drive people away and stay untouchable, because with Zanka by his side once he hits the Nijiku Growth Spurt he has enough scary dog privilege that he doesn't have to put it on any more to be safe

(Which is not to say he isn't a genuine maniac at times, or that all of his high energy antics are fake. They're probably even mostly real. But it's not all he is at all times, and not having to put it on when he doesn't feel like it is weirdly nice)

Zanka sleeping on the floor when Jabber is feeling particularly touch averse, or guarding the door when Jabber's in the middle of something fiddly that requires concentration

Zanka shredding other people verbally and picking fights and breaking shit whenever Jabber is away for too long

Jabber noticing all of this and wondering with amusement/giddiness if this is why people get dogs

Zanka fucking Jabber like an animal, because Jabber is exactly the kind of motherfucker who will taunt and poke a dog until it snaps and mauls him and enjoy every minute of it

The Cleaners: Did not immediately inform Rudo that Gris was alive The Hellguard: Did not immediately inform Rudo that Enjin was alive (malicious version) Jabber Wonger: Informs Rudo that Zanka is alive immediately upon being asked

And the other part is that it's extremely funny to me to envision that people have been searching for a way to fix Zanka's personal problems for years. But somehow the only thing that's really, truly made a difference and gotten him to find the long term will to live is getting him a Raider companion and letting them fight each other like feral animals. Nothing else works. Literally just this. And it keeps Jabber busy enough that he does less crime!
