Hiii! I hope you’re doing well!! I’m just wondering if i could request some yandere Forget Me Not headcannons? If not, some general romantic hcs would be fine!

That said, don’t overwork yourself and feel free to decline this if you feel like it!

;R1999 FORGET ME NOT - Yandere Headcanons

Compilation of headcanons about Forget Me Not as a Yandere.

I am doing well, ty for asking! and ty for the yandere request, I love writing this type of stuff <3

warning for yandere content and everything it entails. as well as self-harm and suicide themes

Forget Me Not as a Yandere would be pretty standard, I think─at least from the beginning.

I want to say that his lack of experience and proper, healthy examples when it comes to relationships and interpersonal skills is the basis of his Yandere profile: he's hindered by even more twisted impulses and intrusive thoughts, and thus would cling even HARDER to his self-imposed restraints because the stakes are higher now. The consequences would be even more severe should he lose control.

From an outsider's point of view, perhaps he appears to be meaner than usual, there's more bite behind his words as opposed to his elegant way of serving backhanded compliments. While those who spend more time with him would notice that he's unbelievably tense and high-strung. Essentially, it's the same fight between indulgence and restraint that I've been portraying in previous FMN posts, only ramped up to 200%.

The thing about Forget Me Not as a Yandere is that he would be extremely malleable and reactive to his darling. He's so very easy to influence, for better and for worse─the attention he pays to every single detail about you, your habits, your gestures and every little "tell", borders on predatory. It's very ironic, the way he can't understand his own feelings nor thoughts but he actually can read you crystal clear, that he may know you better than you know yourself. The dynamic of your relationship would be determined in your first interactions with him, and it AAAAAALL depends on you. But it's not as binary as who gets to be the "dominant" party and who gets to be the "submissive" party!

When I say Forget Me Not is malleable, I mean it.

In the context of entering a relationship with him, yes, there is the chance that, if you show any signs of "submission" (a more timid and meek personality) Forget Me Not will take advantage of it to the fullest��either through force, coercion or manipulation. We all know he's not below playing dirty and acting to get what he wants, after all. And there is also the chance that, if you show the opposite (a more stubborn and combative personality, to go against him whenever possible) that he will meet you with as much vitriol as you show him, or that he will become even more obsessed with making you submit to him, to blur both love and hatred together as mentioned before. You know, all these classics traits in Yandere content!

But the secret third option is that, if you play your cards right, he will be at your absolute mercy as well.

You can play the exact same mind games he plays and have him eating out of the palm of your hand. After all, he's just looking for ANY excuse and justification to unravel and let loose─you taking the reigns is just as good as him taking the lead. At the end of the day, as long as he gets your undivided attention, the dynamic doesn't matter. We're talking about a guy who pretends to be a poised gentleman and a functional member of society. A cowardly snake who doesn't want to face the consequences of his actions and would absolutely prefer to double down on his awful behaviour and then die at the end than think of apologizing to a single person.

This guy? As a Yandere? Yeah, he will adapt to you, but he will also allow you to manipulate him if you have the courage to reach out and tug at his leash, to take advantage of his obsession. I would even go as far to say that THIS outcome would be the best one for him, as it means that he doesn't have to take responsibility for his own life: that burden is now on you, you own him now. Good luck!

For this post, I'll talk about this secret third option since it's the most interesting in my opinion!

I'm not sure how to format my headcanons and thoughts properly, so I'll do something new and rate the general Yandere traits I think are relevant for him! Obsessiveness is one I specifically left out because it's the most basic requirement for Yandere characters, it feels unnecessary to discuss it. That shit must be cranked up to the highest setting or else there's no Yandere in the first place!

Possessive: ✦✦✦✧✧✧

In this context, he perceives his life to belong to you and only you─the nuance of the situation and whether it gets worse or a better for him are up to you, there's literally endless possibilities─and so it makes sense for him to be possessive, but not in the traditional sense that we're used to, so to say?

Because one of the important aspects of Forget Me Not as a character is the self-loathing. To me, this is one of the few core aspects that must remain in every AU or iteration for him to feel in-character. He's defined by revenge, self-loathing and a delusional mind. And it's this self-loathing that leads Forget Me Not into a very, very insecure mindset─because he's fully aware that YOU could aim for a better lifestyle, a better partner, someone who wants what's best for you instead of wanting to drag you down, deeper and deeper into the mess that is his life. Of course, this is something he won't allow now that you've so gracefully let him latch onto your side like a parasite, but it's a possibility that will continue to haunt him forever.

And so, he's possessive of your ownership and control over him, what he perceives to be the bond that ties you to him or viceversa. It's not quite "You're mine, and no one else's", it's more of a "I'm yours, and no one else's".

No matter what you do to him, he will remain by your side. The idea of you favouring someone else, or choosing to be with someone else and keep him by the sidelines, well, it will ruin him, of course! But Forget Me Not has been waiting for the other shoe to drop his whole life, and so NOTHING you can do can convince him to leave or do anything to "get back at you" in a direct way─aside from manipulating the world to leave you behind instead, perhaps. I like to think he'd still be a pretty pathetic, soggy and miserable guy. Desperate to prove to you that he's going to stay no MATTER what you do or say to him.

It's fine if you hate him, it's fine if you love him. But at the end of the day, you should at appreciate his loyalty and treasure him. Forget Me Not wants YOU to be the possessive one, to want him despite how awful he is, all while accepting the fact that you will never truly be his, because he doesn't deserve you.

Not to say that you keep the guy on a literal leash 24/7, of course! But to if you were to flirt with someone else in front of him, chances are Forget Me Not won't move a single finger. He would stay there, glaring daggers at the perpetrator, and then whine and guilt trip you into paying attention to him. But if someone were to flirt with him instead, he would be pretty ruthless in his rejection, proud and loudly declaring who he belongs to.

Perhaps it would be better to describe him as clingy instead? I think as indulgent as Forget Me Not can be when it comes to his vices, being by your side would be his utmost priority in this context. He won't follow you around like a lost puppy like other characters might do, but he would instead pull a few strings here and there behind the scenes to ensure you always happen to be within his line of sight.

Actually, now that I'm thinking, Forget Me Not as a Yandere would have EXTREME separation issues. This guy would ABSOLUTELY be the type to watch you sleep, because he just can't fathom the idea of being, what, 8 hours away from you? All of this being tied to his anxieties and codependency. I don't see him being very vocal about his love for you, or if he is then the sort of shit he spouts could easily be misinterpreted as thinly veiled threats, or just self-affirmations for himself.

Delusional: ✦✦✦✦✦✦

I'm giving him full points in this section because aside from the aforementioned anxieties, paranoia and self-loathing that gets him to be so, so very miserable, Forget Me Not is pretty much Delusional with a capital D.

Regardless of the path that led you to him and this situation, Forget Me Not would cling onto the fact that you currently own his heart, his mind and his entire life─this OBVIOUSLY means, in his book at least, that you care or love him just enough to take on such a burden. It's pretty much everything I discussed up until now mixed into one big cocktail of delusion and desperation. There's no takebacksies now!

Regardless of your treatment of him, Forget Me Not wholeheartedly believes that you love him to some degree, and that is more than enough for him to fuel his delusions, to overthink every action and every gesture as an act of love. He can still read you like an open book, he knows whenever you're nervous, whenever you're scared, whenever you get angry at him─how else can one explain such reactions, if love isn't at the center of it all? If you didn't love him, you would treat him with indifference, you would discard him like a broken toy!

Of course, if you WERE to treat him with indifference or attempt to discard him and get him out of your life, he would just find more and more ways to come back, to twist your words and their meaning to something that fits his narrative, to worm his way into your life the same way you've done, worming into his own heart. There's no point in trying to make sense of his logic, there is none, it's just the nonsensical, lovestruck fantasy he's built for himself.

Whether you kick him in the mouth or hold him close to you, the only truth Forget Me Not will stand for is your love for him.

But I think it would be fun if this is something he only made known to you? To the outside world, he makes them believe what they want to believe, make whatever assumption about your relationship with him─the muddier the truth becomes for the rest, the easier it is for him to trap and isolate you. Forget Me Not has a talent for acting, to play every unassuming role required for whatever schemes he's got under his sleeve, he might be a pathetic, desperate excuse of a man, kneeling and clinging onto you, but he still retains his cunning mind when it matters. And when you're not around to cloud his vision, he's dangerous.

No matter what others might think, Forget Me Not would find a way to profit─it doesn't matter if your best friend has an inkling about the true nature of your relationship, he will capitalize on it to ensure they remain far, far away from helping you escape. If your coworkers or classmates or what have you believe you two are an odd couple? Then that's what you two are! It's not like they know any better!

Forget Me Not knows more than anyone that there is no fighting the perception of others. There is a group of humans who simply decided he was the Devil himself, based entirely on his heritage rather than his actions. So he plays his part and lets their own biases do their thing, easy.

In that same vein, if you've indulged or pampered him a lot, then he would be more ready to believe anything you say. Sure, Forget Me Not knows that you may lie to him, you might've done that already many times before, but how can he say no when you've been so sweet to him lately?

Manipulative: ✦✦✦✦✦✦

You know what. Self-explanatory, I don't even have to ramble about this because I've talked about how manipulative Forget Me Not is in pretty much all of his posts. He rarely chooses direct confrontations,

I'm inclined to believe that he would only do so in extreme situations, and even so, he would only dirty his hands and confront whatever obstacles in his path─but confronting you? He's too much of a coward, he would never dream of confronting you without ensuring that you will deliver the answer and reaction he seeks, out of fear of hearing the truth from your own lips. I insist, he's not afraid of digging himself into his own grave with his schemes and manipulations if it means maintaining this whole status quo.

So, instead let me talk about how you can manipulate him instead, to level the field a little!

Physical touch in any way is the easiest way to force Forget Me Not to listen. From pulling on his hair to caressing his cheek─I don't think he will ever get used to having you touch him. Again, he thrives with whatever you throw at him, so it's up to you to choose.

I think lying to him and getting away with it is very difficult. In fact, if you think you've successfully lied to him, it's probably because he decided to let you believe he's none the wiser. so instead you would have to appeal to his emotional side. It's as easy as bringing up the whole ownership/possessive aspect, any reminder that he's all yours is enough to get Forget Me Not to comply after some minimum reluctance and pushback from him. It doesn't matter if you're guilt tripping him or threatening him, he thinks it's so romantic that you would go out of your way to reassure him of his position.

Sadism ✦✦✧✧✧✧ / Masochism ✦✦✦✦✧✧

Lately, I've been seeing Yandere content being slowly portrayed as a watered down version of what it used to be, like, to call a character who is just possessive a Yandere and that's it.

But I'm a fan of dark content, and to theorize about everything that comes with these themes─this includes physical harm, something that people are more sensitive towards, which is fair and I understand if this isn't everyone's cup of tea!

So far, most of the violence towards the reader has been emotional and psychological, with physical violence being directed instead to third parties. Here, there will be discussions of potential physical violence towards the reader and Forget Me Not.

That's why this section is at the bottom, so that you can opt out of it!

Something I forgot to bring up directly is the themes of idealization and religious parallels when it comes to the way Forget Me Not interprets his relationship with you.

Despite all these things, he still considers you way above him, a holy figure deserving of everything he can offer─so I don't think he would be physically abusive nor be threatening in this way either. He finds zero pleasure in the idea of physically harming you, and would very much prefer to chip away at your mental stability and vulnerability by hurting himself. Hell, he would prefer to have YOU hurt him instead, to have physical proof of your influence on his body. It aligns perfectly with his self-loathing. If you could scrape off all of his scales with your nails and replace when with the scars you leave him, he would be so, so very grateful.

Or to have you pluck his scales off one by one as punishment, he would absolutely love that. I think that, in those days in which he cannot tolerate nor deal with himself, when he cannot drown his sorrows in alcohol, he would become an active nuisance for the very small and off chance that you lash out at him. It's very cathartic to him.

This post focuses on a very specific outcome of the whole Yandere situation with Forget Me Not, but even so, I believe that every other version in every other situation would still have Forget Me Not being more of a masochist than a sadist. At least when talking about his darling. Given the type of person that he is and all, he would still prefer more mental games.

#reverse 1999 #reverse 1999 x reader #reverse 1999 forget me not #forget me not #yandere #this feels a little like yandere x yandere #but thats partially bc FMN is a fucking freak #phew i think i got the whole dark content for FMN stuff out of my system now

title: the second time word count: ~1700 ships/characters: vex/percy, keyleth summary: His night with Vex’ahlia had awakened something in him that he wanted to explore. ao3 link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/60153133

Things had calmed down quite a lot since they entered Scanlan’s…chateau. His stronghold. Whatever he was choosing to call it. It was clear from how Grog and Keyleth were staring at Pike that something significant had happened to her in Dis, though Percy wasn’t sure when would be an appropriate time to ask about it. He supposed she would tell him and Vex’ahlia if they needed to know - Vex had never explained all the details of how she procured Fenthras, after all.

It wasn’t exactly like they were keeping secrets. Some things…they just didn’t want to talk about. Some things were difficult to talk about.

As Percy enjoyed some of the endless supply of red wine that Scanlan provided, he hoped it wasn’t obvious that he kept glancing towards Vex.

Some things were very difficult to talk about.

Especially after trying and failing, and then having a very awkward conversation that did not go the way he’d wanted, and then…well. She’d said they didn’t need to be apart. He understood that, generally. But he wasn’t sure exactly how to…initiate. Being together. Again. And maybe another time after that.

His experience with sex was as limited as a person’s experience could be, but his night with Vex’ahlia had awakened something in him that he wanted to explore. He wanted to explore it with her and only her. But he didn’t want to come across as desperate or needy - she clearly didn’t mind his inexperience, but he had a feeling that it’d get old quickly.

Percy was adjusting his glasses and pretending not to stare at her again - she was laughing at something Scanlan said, and she always looked so beautiful when she laughed - when he was reminded that he was in a very public area.

“Hey!”

He jumped slightly, and in his embarrassment tried to pretend he didn’t by combing his fingers through his hair and smiling at the redhead who appeared next to him. “Hello, Keyleth.”

She smiled at him, glancing towards where Vex was standing and then back to him. “You might want to slow down on the wine, Percy. Your cheeks are all red.”

Whether the redness was from the wine or his embarrassment, Percy wasn’t sure, but he knew they would only get redder if he stayed where he was. “Ah. Well. I suppose I should stop, then.”

Keyleth stared at him, almost knowingly, but Percy had no intention of talking to her about what was going on between him and Vex. Her brother knowing about them was already anxiety-inducing enough, especially considering how little Vax thought of Percy. Keyleth thought the world of both of them, but she’d be so happy for them that she’d tell Pike and Scanlan and it was just too much, too soon.

Especially since they were just…casual. Or whatever they were. Percy wasn’t sure how to define it, since Vex didn’t seem comfortable giving them a label. And he was going to respect that as long as his heart could take it. Because he did want to be with her as completely as possible, but if he pushed too hard and made her pull away, the loss would be agonizing.

Percy adjusted his glasses again and left the main room, heading towards what Scanlan said could be his bedroom for the duration of their stay. It was nice, surprisingly clean. Bigger than their usual accommodations outside of Whitestone.

He sat on the edge of his bed for well over twenty minutes as he tried to decide what to do. He needed to talk to Vex, obviously. He couldn’t just waltz up to her and ask if she’d like to go for another roll in the hay, even if that was exactly what was on his mind.

Percy grumbled and held his hands against his face, squeezing his glasses into the root of his nose. It was going to leave an annoying red line, but he was so annoyed with himself he couldn’t help it. Why couldn’t he just walk up to her and say exactly what he was thinking? If Scanlan could manage to bed strangers with hardly any effort, surely Percival could invite a friend that he’s already had sex with to repeat the activity.

His face heated up as he thought about it again. Maybe he would just go take a bath in one of the hot springs and see how he felt after that. He needed to wash up, anyway, especially if he wanted to impress Vex’ahlia.

He stripped off most of his clothes and considered the possibility that he could invite Vex to the hot springs with him. It would be putting himself out there without being too obvious about his intentions. Though she’d obviously understand what he meant, because she could always tell what he was thinking.

Swimsuit, extra pair of shorts, and towel grabbed, Percy poked his head out of his room to see if anyone was in the hallway. Vex’s assigned room was just across from his, so he quickly stepped forward and knocked.

“...Vex?” he asked softly, knocking again.

Another few seconds passed without an answer, and Percy felt very defeated to realize that she wasn’t in her room. He didn’t want to go back out to the main room and see if she was there, because he would not want to ask her to join him in front of anyone else.

So he’d go to the hot spring by himself. Take a breather. Try to talk to Vex sometime in the evening, maybe they could have a drink together and enjoy one another’s company again. Possibly. Hopefully.

God, he really hoped she wanted to.

Percy was happy that he didn’t come across anyone from the team as he made his way outside, and one of the springs in a more remote location was completely empty when he found it. He took a deep breath, enjoying the warm steam against his skin. After their long, long day in the freezing cold, it would be nice to warm up properly.

He folded his towel and extra clothes, leaving them in a dry spot not too far from the spring. Then he went back and forth, trying to decide if he needed to keep his swimsuit on. Since they were in a place surrounded by visions of Scanlan, he felt like he didn’t have full privacy. But Scanlan swore that they were just sculptures, and he couldn’t see anything that wasn’t within his personal eye line.

With a deep breath, he decided to believe Scanlan. Hot springs were meant to be enjoyed naked, so he was going to take the plunge.

Percy sighed dreamily as he sunk into the water - hot bubbles climbing up his skin and tingling every nerve. It wasn’t as nice a feeling as being with Vex, but it was definitely in second place. If he had to rank them.

Less than ten minutes of relaxing passed before Percy heard the sound of footsteps nearby, and opened his eyes to see a blurry figure with tan skin and dark hair looking at him from around the corner.

“There you are!”

There was no mistaking that voice. “Vex!” he said, surprised. Percy sat up straighter and stared at her, wishing he hadn’t taken off his glasses. “H-how are you?” He internally scolded himself for stuttering, knowing he had no reason to be nervous. But still, nervous he was.

Vex came a little closer and he could sort of see a smirk on her face. “You haven’t been avoiding me, have you?”

“Of course not,” he answered quickly. He awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck. “I…tried to talk to you earlier, but you weren’t in your room, so…I wasn’t sure, um. I didn’t want to bother you if you were busy.”

She let out a soft chuckle and suddenly tore off her towel, revealing her entire naked self to the hot steam and Percy’s wandering eyes. “Mind if I join you?” she asked with a sultry lilt, entering the water before he answered since she knew exactly what his answer would be.

“Would you hand me my glasses?” he asked, watching each and every movement very closely. “They’re just behind you.”

Vex ignored him and waded over, her breasts fully visible above the water while she reached her hands back and undid her hair. Her body moved rhythmically as she shook out her hair and Percy found himself completely mesmerized. She was close enough to see and certainly close enough to feel.

“Gods, you are beautiful,” he said quietly, not completely sure if his lips even moved. His brain was running on overdrive and all he wanted to do was grab her and hold her and feel her and-

She laughed and leaned forward, laying one hand on his chest. “You’re not so bad yourself,” she mumbled, stepping even closer.

Vex dove her other hand into the water, feeling around for an obvious target, then laid her fingers gently at the bottom of his stomach. She kept her hand still at the sound of him hitching his breath and looked up to stare in his eyes. “Are we still…good?”

He felt like his nerves were on fire. Vex’s lips were so close to his own and her hand was- and he-!

Percy nodded and laid his hands on the sides of her face, pulling her to him for a much-needed kiss. He wanted her so badly that it ached. He pulled away from the kiss and went back several times, pausing for a moment to answer her question in pieces. “Yes-! Please-! Anytime-! I-! Yes-!”

She smiled into the kisses and grabbed him, very satisfied by the way he twitched under her ministrations.

Percy felt like he was floating on air. It wasn’t often that he was happy - he hadn’t been truly happy for a long, long time. But being with Vex made him feel more relaxed, more calm, more alive. He was sure that he’d be able to work himself up to initiating their next rendezvous now that he was a bit more confident in their status.

Her tongue slipped into his mouth and Percy sighed happily, wrapping his arms around her. When he was with her, it felt like there was nothing wrong in the world.

All he wanted or needed was Vex’ahlia.
