♱  DIABOLIK LOVERS: Haunted Dark Bridal ー Sakamaki Kanato | Maniac 5½  ♱

⌜ Scene: School Art Rooms ⌟

Yui: Good, it’s unlocked!

ー Yui closes the door behind her. ー

Now, where did I leave it?

( I sat over here for class, and I could have sworn I… )

A-ha!

ー Yui walks over to pick up her things. ー

( I have to make a point to not forget these calligraphy brushes again! Especially when Reiji-san was kind enough to let me borrow his. )

Ryuuto: I was beginning to wonder who left that there.

Yui: W-Wha…!

ー Ryuuto appears beside Yui. ー

Oh! Uhm… Ryuuto-san, wasn’t it?

Ryuuto: That is me, yes. It is a good thing you came when you did, I was just thinking how helpful an extra pair of hands would be.

You see, I happen to be on cleaning duty for the art rooms, tonight. However, I need to move a few canvases, here, around first.

Won’t you do me a favour, hm?

Yui: Oh…

( I told Kanato-kun I’d only be five minutes... If I’m any longer than that, I’m going to have some explaining to do… )

( Besides… )

ー Yui flashbacks to just the other day. ー

Kanato: Well, shall we head on home?

Yui: Ah… Sorry. I can’t go back with you today.

Kanato: … …? Are you cheating on me?

Yui: Ch-Cheating? What makes you think that!?

ー Yui is brought back to the present. ー

( I’m sure he’ll take it the wrong way. )

…I’m sorry, Ryuuto-san. I have someone waiting on me.

Ryuuto: I assure you it is only a few canvases; You’ll be out of here in no time.

Yui: Well…

Ryuuto: …You’re making it seem like it is detrimental that you return to said someone as soon as possible; Is Kanato truly that strict?

I told you it was the wrong idea to pick him.

Yui: It’s not exactly that he’s strict, but he can get… pretty unpredictable when he gets the wrong idea. I’d rather not upset him…

So, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be on my way.

ー Ryuuto blocks her from exiting. ー

Ryuuto: Now, now…

This may surprise you, but I know Kanato decently well. I am certain he will understand if you tell him I was the one who kept you?

━─┉┈◈ Selection ◈┈┉─━

　　❈  I doubt that… (♥) Yui: ( If you think that way… … ) I don’t think you know him as well as you think, then. Ryuuto: …No? Yui: I’ve… I’ve been in this situation before, so I’d rather not have history repeat itself and get back to him right away. Ryuuto: …You’re frightened of him. Fufu. Yui: …Wh-Why does that have to be the case? Ryuuto: There is no shame in owning up to that much, Yui.

　　❈  Then you understand me? Yui: If you know him as well as you say, Ryuuto-san… Then, you understand where I am coming from, right? ( I just want to keep him happy, and save myself a tantrum… ) Ryuuto: I certainly do. However, I think you’re overestimating his temper. Yui: E-Eh? If anything, you’re underestimating it!

━━─┉┈┈◈◉◈┈┈┉─━━

Ryuuto: …Come now, it is not like I am asking for your blood, or the like.

I am certain we could have been almost done and dusted by now, should you have cooperated in the first place.

Yui: Even if that’s the case…

ー He backs her against the desk. ー

( H-He’s closing in suddenly! )

Ryuuto-san, please let me past…!

Ryuuto: You’re awfully jumpy. Do relax…

Yui: H-How can I? You’re too… close!

( Besides! Who knows what Ryuuto-san is up to? He’s a Vampire, after all! )

( Can I run for it? I’ve definitely got to! )

Please, move…!

Kanato: …You couldn’t even collect your things without wasting my time. I thought you said you said you would only be five minutes.

You shouldn’t be talking to this nobody, Yui-san.

Yui: K-Kanato-kun…!

Ryuuto: We were just talking about you.

Kanato: …You were?

ー Ryuuto backs off. ー

Ryuuto: Light conversation, nothing more…

Kanato: What did you say? Yui-san?

Yui: N-Nothing, really… Just about how Ryuuto-san said he was close to you, is all.

Promise it wasn’t anything bad!

Kanato: …Well, you’re mistaken in thinking that. Please don’t spout nonsense like that about me in the future, Ryuuto.

I won’t forgive you for it, you know…

Ryuuto: Nonsense, you say? I would like to think we get on decently, should the occasion call for it. You don’t agree?

Kanato: … …

Ryuuto: At any rate, I suppose I ought to let you get home.

Yui: Y-Yes! Shall we get going, Kanato-kun?

Kanato: Yes.

Yui: ( Thank God! )

ー Yui runs to Kanato’s side. ー

( Being next to Kanato-kun like this again… It’s a strange relief! )

Ryuuto: Your prey was well-behaved, for the record.

Kanato: …I beg your pardon?

Ryuuto: Even if I were hoping to, my fangs could not get anywhere close to biting her; You should be thrilled to know she is not so easy.

Yui: …!!

Kanato: …I know that, you do not need to remind me.

Yui: ( Ryuuto-san saying that is one thing… )

( But, Kanato-kun…? He actually has faith in me, after all, by the sounds of it! )

Kanato: We’re going, Yui-san.

Yui: U-Uh, yes!

Double trouble 😍

[yuikomorii]

Who in DL do you think needs better routes?

// ✨Everyone✨

This is merely my opinion but while DL got some really enjoyable moments, no route was above average. I suppose this is my way of thinking because I've been through so many otome games that my standards have become waaaay too high. I don't just mean it because of the love interests, since I can think of over 10 games with LIs meaner than the Diaboys were in HDB/MB, but I feel like no route has anything that good to it and they're frequently flawed and poorly balanced.

The development feels way too many times really forced or it barely lasts. I mean, there are some characters who truly seem to have evolved throughout the route but in the last chapters or good endings, their development proves to be completely useless or even worse: it gets erased, which is really sad.

Another thing I’m not particularly fond of is how they turned Yui, in the later games, more into an emotional support rather than the heroine of the story because there are several routes where she’s written to be of no great use and it makes no sense since she’s supposed to be the MC?? I do understand that the love interests need to get the spotlight but the heroine has to be just as active as them. ://

I dislike how some routes attempt to redeem Karlheinz. We already know the reasons behind his actions, and he feels no remorse for those he has harmed, so he does not deserve to be portrayed positively.

DL is already messed up as it is but toxic forgiveness is often portrayed as a sign of kindness, although it’s actually creepy and when it comes to the Diaboys, that’s heavy on Ayato. I understand forgiving someone for yourself because YOU don’t want to hold any sort of grudge or hate in your heart (like Laito did in DF) but forgiving someone after they treated you extremely badly AND still caring for them or being written to befriend them afterwards, is way over the top and if you know such people irl, please check on them because they’re not okay.

The endings are getting so poorly written and I don’t get why. HDB and MB had some unexpected and genuinely interesting endings, but they became less impactful later on, and I swear, some Diaboys have the same endings as others, just slightly modified.

I'm not trying to sound ungrateful because I still love DL; after all, I'm part of this fandom; it's just that I wish the writers would put a little more effort into the routes. I understand how difficult it is to write for 13 different characters, but there are more writers, each with their own ideas, and it is also their job so expecting the Diaboys to get good routes is actually understandable.

[koumeowkami]

artists i associate to the diabolik lovers characters

(+ explanations/headcanons!)

this is gonna be a long post since i absolutely LOVE talking about music. you may take this as a music recommendations post lol. also check my DL playlists out if you want to! 💗

SHU — WITHIN TEMPTATION

let's start with some nice symphonic metal! it's pretty obvious since shu likes classical music. he's relatively calm (maybe too much) but there's a storm inside of him: his double side fits this band a lot imo. moreover, within temptation are powerful but also ethereal, so even though they're "heavy" i think he would give a chance to them :D he would occasionally cover their songs on violin if he feels like it.

REIJI — APOCALYPTICA

staying on the symphonic metal side, we have apocalyptica. this band is so peculiar since it's only formed by three cellos and drums, but i can assure you they're metal lmao. they're neat, polished, elegant and mature: all of these are basic reiji traits! (shu likes them too but he listens to them secretly lol)

AYATO — PARAMORE / HALESTORM

here he comes. my lil punk boi. i think about too many artists when it comes to ayato, cause honestly just every pop punk artist does it for me, but early paramore music gives me HUGE teen emo vibes (both angsty and romantic) that represent ayato so well!! i already stated it in my rocker!ayato headcanons post, but he would blast the RIOT! album at every hour of the day.

regarding halestorm, they represent his "darker" side. they're heavier and more aggressively free-spirited. now tell me if he wouldn't sing Love Bites (So Do I) to yui "jokingly" lol.

KANATO — THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE

how could i NOT associate kanato with the band that basically gave birth to the creepy cute genre, the birthday massacre? their particular goth/industrial sound blending with the vocalist chibi's cute, almost ethereal voice gives so many kanato vibes!! not to mention that the official color of the band is purple lmao. he'd find their album covers very aesthetic, i'm sure of it :D and i also think his fav album would be Violet, the creepiest of them all.

LAITO — LADY GAGA / THE PRETTY RECKLESS

basically laito's two personalities lmao. lady gaga doesn't need any introductions: her provocative and sexy persona shocked everyone and basically all of her songs could potentially be in laito's sex playlist.

the pretty reckless are also indeed sexy, but sexy-depressed??? sexy-angsty?? some of their songs are about embracing one's "dark" side, some others are about dealing with depression (especially in their latest works). i like how they both use the "sexy" façade while actually having more to offer. considering how much laito is broken inside, their music fits so well.

SUBARU — BRING ME THE HORIZON

i'll keep saying this: emo music isn't enough for this guy. this dude listens to metalcore and whatever is heavier than emo pop punk. i actually had issues with picking a band for him cause most of them are casual listens to me but!!! in the end i chose bring me the horizon. angsty emo. pure rage. that's simply subaru for you! sometimes he would sing to their songs in his room but never admit it lol.

RUKI — HIM

honestly, this guy would love gothic rock. i just know it. HIM is the perfect band for him! their dark, elegant, kinda sad sound reminds me of him a lot. and the lyrics too!! they're really poetic, mostly about love and death with a few mentions to eden (pun intended?); the vocalist ville valo often takes inspiration for his lyrics from the books he reads! ruki would definitely dedicate Vampire Heart to yui btw.

KOU — AVRIL LAVIGNE / ICON FOR HIRE

LISTEN. i've been headcanoning this ever since my first DL post ever but kou would be a huge avril lavigne fan. it would mostly represent his frivolous idol persona, but also some of what he hides underneath.

his realest and deepest side is represented by icon for hire. they're heavier, aggressive and talk a lot about sensitive topics. kou has one of the worst pasts among the DL characters and has dealt with pretty much everything going from depression, to abuse, to drug addiction, to suicidal tendencies. i think he'd find some sort of comfort in their songs.

YUMA — P.O.D.

i always pictured yuma as a hip-hop kinda guy, so i think he would like nu metal. being part of the angry and bothered trio with ayato and subaru, he's relatively the calmest one but that means nothing since we're in DL lol. p.o.d.'s passive-aggressive style reminds me of him so much and i swear i ALWAYS think about him when i listen to Youth of the Nation, it's like it talks about him and his brothers specifically.

AZUSA — EVANESCENCE

there are two types of emo: the angry emo and the sad emo. azusa obviously belongs to the second one. i can't really associate him to one genre in particular, it just depends on the ~vibes~, but i chose evanescence for him cause their lowkey eerie, slow style fits azusa a lot. fear of abandonment and selflessness are some of the themes they've covered and Lithium is the song that makes me think about azusa the most.

CARLA — NIGHTWISH

carla has that gothic royal-ish attitude that reminds of the first nightwish era (with tarja turunen as vocalist). i mostly tend to associate the deep, elegant lyrical vocals with carla's deep voice lol. it's just a matter of ~vibes~ again :D

SHIN — FROM FIRST TO LAST

this little shit would only listen to post-hardcore. nothing reminds me of shin more than a cringy "i'm angy >:(" music genre. i actually do enjoy some post-hardcore and from first to last is the exception. i think shin would fit especially in the Dead Trees era, aka FFTL's villain arc™: very silly, angsty and full of villanous vibes but more mature than their previous works.

KINO — AMARANTHE

gamer boi coming through with electronic metal!! amaranthe's futuristic mix of edm and metal + their in-your-face attitude is a perfect match with kino. PvP is THE kino song. the music, the lyrics, the game concept just suit him so well!! slay.

DARK FATE — Mystic 「Dark 05」 [CG]

[ Dark 04 ]

(Disclaimer: This chapter contains explicit content, not suitable for all readers.)

[ Location: Living Room— Eden Castle ]

Ayato: ——Hahaha!

Laito: ... I thought you'd be able to handle your alcohol better, Mys...

Ayato: This guy...! Hahaha!

Mystic: What'd ya talkin' 'bout? I'm perfe'tly aight!

Mystic jerks his arm up. Wine spills over the edge of his cup. It splashes his shirt.

Mystic: Ah...

Kanato: Fufufu... so much for a mighty prince.

Mystic: Like y’all got anythin' to say, ya fuckin' child. This's why yo papa don’t like you.

Kanato: ... ...!

「Monologue」

Just a few hours ago, Laito rushed into my room with an unlabeled bottle. It was only a matter of minutes before it was emptied between me and the triplets. It was mostly me that hogged the bottle, anyway... I wasn't sure what it was, but it had certainly been fermenting for quite some time...

Mystic: ( Gods, I needed this... I thought I was gonna go insane. )

Mystic sprawls over the sofa as he plops an arm over his eyes.

Ayato: Hah. You sick now?

Mystic: Fuckin' sick of hearin' ya talk. That's what I am.

Ayato: You...! Tsk, I bring you something good to share and this is how you're treating me.

Laito: It was me that brought it to him—

Ayato: It was still my idea!

Kanato: Sigh... I'd call him embarrassing, but it is becoming down right pitiful.

Mystic: ... ... ...

Ayato: ...? Did the bastard fall asleep?

Laito: Looks like it?

Ayato: Oi, Kanato. Nudge him up a bit.

Kanato: Why should I?

Laito: Last time he left me with a bruised nose for a week! Do you know how embarrassing it was to have to walk around school like that?!

Ayato: I still think it was hilarious.

Kanato: So, I ask again, why should I wake him up?

—Footsteps—

Ayato: ... Hm? Ah, it's just you.

Ruki: What are you three doing here?

Mystic: ... ...!

Mystic flinches. It goes unnoticed.

Ruki: Mystic? What is the matter with him?

Kanato: He's drunk.

Laito: He grabbed the bottle and wouldn't let go!

Ruki: ... Unbelievable.

... ...

Ayato: What's the matter with ya?

Ruki: ... ... Nothing.

Ruki leaves. Mystic slides his arm off his face and opens his eyes.

Laito: Ah. He's alive.

Ayato: Barely, it seems.

Mystic: ... Sigh...

Mystic stands. He downs the remaining wine and puts down his glass. He begins walking away. His stance doesn't appear like that of a drunk individual.

Ayato: Oi, where’re ya headed now?

Mystic: ... For my chaser (1).

Ayato: Ehh?

Laito: Fufufu... Oh, my.

Kanato: Sigh…

Ayato: What? I don't get what y'all are talking about at all.

—Fade—

[ Location: Hallway ]

Ruki continues down his path. Footsteps approach.

Ruki: ... ...?

Mystic: ... ...

Ruki: Oh? Are you finally raising the flag? Or perhaps you need help to get to your room?

Well... you seem to be perfectly well for someone reeking of liquor.

Mystic: ... ... Don't like it...?

Ruki: I cannot say I do.

Mystic: ... ...

Mystic glances down as he lifts his hand. He rests it on the crook of his neck. He meets Ruki's gaze once more.

—Drip...—

Ruki: ... ...! What are you...?!

Mystic digs his nails into his skin. Deep crimson drips along his collarbone. Ruki stares in disbelief.

Mystic: ... This...?

Ruki: ... ...

Mystic: ... Does it smell better?

After all... you like it, don't you? The smell of my blood?

It’s the only reason you ever paid me any mind, right?

Ruki: ... You——

—Rustle—

Mystic: You remember, yeah? How it melts on your tongue… and burns down your throat…

Mystic follows this path down Ruki’s neck and chest with his hand as he speaks.

Ruki: ... ...

Mystic: Bringin’ out the most despicable part of you…

You’re nothin’ but a bat, after all. Taking advantage of wounded prey...

Ruki: Stop talking.

Mystic: Oh...? You’re gonna tell me I’m wrong?

That’s not what happened? That you didn’t drag me off with other intentions?

Ya think I’m fuckin’ stupid? I know perfectly well what the effects of my blood are… that you bunch have not the slightest self-control…

Mystic leans closer to Ruki. He slides his arms over Ruki’s shoulders and locks his hands around his neck. The Vampire tenses up, but doesn’t move away.

Ruki: ... ...

Mystic: Truth is…

——You’re no better than any other Vampire.

Succumbing to your instincts at the sight of something you crave…

Ruki: ... ...

You’re wrong.

Mystic: ... ...?

( What? )

Ruki: You just don’t get it at all——

Ruki cradles Mystic’s waist in one arm. He swiftly digs his fangs over the bleeding scratch marks.

Mystic: Wha—!? Ah!

Ruki: Nn... mm...

Mystic: Ugh... ahh...

( He’s... biting down with all of his teeth. )

Ruki: Mm—ah...

Huff...

Mystic: Sigh...

Ruki: ... ... Come here.

—Rustle—

Mystic: ... ...!?

—Fade—

[ Location: Guestroom ]

Ruki tugs at Mystic's arm. The Founder trips on the edge of the mattress. The Vampire doesn’t waste a moment as he climbs over him.

Mystic: ... ...!

Ruki: Mn... mm!

... Huff.

Mystic: Ah?!

—Rustle—

Ruki pushes Mystic down. He tugs the edge of his jacket and yanks it over his head. The garments bind his limbs together.

Mystic: ... ...?!

( My arms... )

Wa—wait, Ruki... I can't mo——

Ruki: Nn——!!

Mystic: Agh...!!

Ruki: Nn... sigh. The wine… I can taste it…

Mystic: Huff, huff...

... Mng...!?

Mystic hitches up. Ruki traces the path from Mystic’s stomach to the edge of his trousers.

—Rustle—

Ruki: Hah... just as back then—

Your body is sincerer than your mouth.

Mystic: ... ...!

( I don't know what to do——

My head is spinning. And my body is doing as it pleases.

Even so... )

In a haze, Mystic’s head drops forward. His body is kept upright by Ruki’s arms. The Vampire gently rests his head on the other’s back. He breathes in slowly. The hair on the back of Mystic’s neck stands on end.

「Monologue」

Garments are discarded. I feel Ruki’s hands wander across my skin. They caress every place they please, bringing comfort and anxiety all at once. The coldness of his touch lingers with an odd warmth. Every nerve of mine desires him with an ache I wasn’t aware was there. His words, as much as they are meant to subdue me, ripple every heartbeat. This man will shatter every part of my being. Engrave himself into it. ——So, let him. Crawl under my skin. Scratch at the itch that has been taunting me since the first moment I laid eyes upon you.

[ Location: Guestroom ]

Mystic nearly tears the sheets with his fingers. His body sways to the rhythm of Ruki’s vicious thrusts.

Ruki: Huff... huff...

Mystic: Ah... haah! I—

I can’t——huff!

Ruki cups Mystic’s chin in his hand momentarily. He lifts his head slightly. Two digits break through Mystic’s lips and denture, twisting with his tongue.

Mystic: Mmf—!?

Ruki: Nn——!!

Mystic is consumed by a wave of immense pleasure. He trembles with anticipation and from the terrible thoughts he wasn’t sure he could contain.

Mystic: Mm... ugh—

Ruki: That’s it... good boy.

—Badump—

Mystic: ... ...!

Startled by the Vampire’s words, Mystic’s jaw tightens. Ruki’s finger bleeds and its taste pricks Mystic’s tongue.

Ruki: Kgh...

Mystic: ( Oh... shit. )

Ruki: Fuck...

Mystic: Ah! No! Ugh! I'm... sorry!

——Ah!! Haah!

( Ah...

My head is... spinning. )

Ruki rests his body weight upon Mystic. He melts into the mattress. Mystic buries his head between his arms. His fingers flex aggressively each time Ruki pushes deep into him.

Mystic: Huff...

Ru—

The Vampire plants a kiss on Mystic's shoulder. He jolts. He subtly reaches up and manages to catch the tips of Ruki's hair. Almost immediately after, however, he lets go.

Mystic: Ru... ki——

Ruki: Huff...

There is a short pause from Ruki. He rests his forehead against Mystic's back. He listens to Mystic's quiet sobs and broken breathes. The heat blinds him momentarily.

Ruki: ... ... Damn it...

「Monologue」

The endless night is lost through the liquor in my veins and the aching pleasure brought upon me by the Vampire. Ruki's sweet nothings were but intelligible echoes at the back of my mind. His embrace would stop the air from reaching my lungs. Just as a serpent would coil around the ideal prey. Refusing to ever let it go. Not until it squeezed every drop of life within the grip of its scales.

hello can you do this but with the sakamaki brothers please and thank you so much if you do 💙https://www.tumblr.com/fangsforiris/754832768603750400/mukami-jealousy-hcs?source=share

Sakamaki Brothers Jealousy HC’s

— — — — — — — — —

Shū:

• He wouldn’t be as outward with his jealousy, if anything it’d be subdued.

• But if he is jealous, you wouldn’t know it.

• If there’s one thing he’s good at, it’s feigning ignorance and placing a wall.

• Canonically in the HDB and MB Anthropology Manga, Shū gets jealous by stupid things, and is in a sense, comical with it.

• He wouldn’t get fussy like Kanato or Ayato.

• More so annoyed that he’s finding himself attached to someone at this level again.

• All of the boys have a certain level of possessiveness, so it’s not shocking if Shū displays his in lethargic and apathetic fashion.

• He values those close to him, so he wouldn’t want to give away what’s his so quickly. That’s where a lot of the motivation towards being jealous can come from.

Reiji:

• Definitely stern and set with it.

• He takes his jealousy seriously, and wouldn’t want to find himself jealous over anything ‘stupid’ or ‘over the top.’

• Reiji will 100% pull his S/O aside and confront them head on about what bothers him.

• Although, at times he can choose to let it linger, waiting for his S/O to figure out what’s bothering him themselves.

• Almost like a game if anything, all at his S/O’s expense.

• He has no problem with punishing his S/O and blaming them for any unwanted advances or attention being made at them.

• His jealousy is more so triggered by Shū and anything to do with him.

• It sends him into a bit of a frenzy, since it’s all linked to his underlying inferiority complex. Which results in his own diminution of his own talents, which can come off as borderline masochistic.

Ayato:

• You’d know right off the bat if this man was jealous.

• He makes no attempt at concealing his true feelings when it comes to his S/O.

• If he’s upset, don’t be shocked when he does take certain things into his own hands.

• That being, if his S/O is being flirted with in front of him, he has no problem with exhibiting violence to show he possesses someone.

• Ayato is all about possession, and is easily one of the most possessive characters.

• So if he thinks his placement is being threatened, he will react in earnest.

• His jealousy can border the lines of unhealthy and obsessive.

• He’d try his best to resist the urge of marking his prey to showcase his property, but at the end of the day, what good would it do if not even his prey can see the faults?

Kanato:

• Easily one of the most explosive individuals to come into contact with.

• You’re threatening his place in his S/O’s life? It’s like alarms and warning bells going off in his mind.

• Due to his extreme mental instability and heavily implied bipolar disorder, he will switch up instantly if Kanato feels attacked or under heavy scrutiny.

• He has no problem with playing pouty and creating a fuss to appeal towards the ‘lolita’ and ‘cutesy’ side he likes to portray to the outside world.

• But in private? He’s a blamer or victim blamer 100%

• He will pin it all on his S/O, even if the circumstances were unavoidable towards his S/O. Kanato does not care.

• He will get physical. As seen within his routes, he does have temperament issues.

• So even if he does subdue himself from having any physical reactions, his S/O is in no way getting out of the heavy verbal abuse coming their way.

Laito:

• Laito is known to put up a wall, almost like Shū, in terms of concealing his true feelings.

• If he’s jealous, it’ll be in the subtext that one would have to take out to fully understand him.

• Laito is someone who, when jealous, wouldn’t want to admit it.

• With his horrible track record with others, he has a slight fear towards true love and the feelings that come with it.

• So for him being jealous, it would subconsciously tear him apart more than his S/O, if anything. That is, if he was to pursue punishment.

• He’d be sure to make his usual perverse remarks, doing anything to not seek out of the ordinary.

• As seen within his routes, he can switch whenever, keeping the Player and Yui on their toes. Expect that for his S/O.

• He’d keep more of an eye on his S/O, lest he becomes left in the past of his own ghosts and worries. It’ll all come in a full circle with Laito, with whatever he does, he knows to expect it to come back at him. Almost like karma.

Subaru:

• Subaru is quite aggressive. Just as an individual and how he can come off at times with his reactions and over the top emotional moments.

• So he wouldn’t take to it kindly with being placed in a position where he’s to be the jealous one.

• There’s two ways it can go. Either he’s flustered and embarrassed about feeling this type of way for his S/O, or he’s viscerally upset at the notion.

• As an individual, it depends on the situation and if he were to get physical with the person/object that is creating this feeling of jealousy within him.

• He’d subconsciously resent himself for feeling these emotions.

• As if someone like him didn’t have the right to even love, much less feel the need to have ownership over someone who didn’t feel the same way back.

• If he’s questioned about it by his S/O, he’d either respond with anger directed towards them for allowing it, or simply shut off and ignore their complaints/queries.

• Subaru tries to be complicit, but with his internal inferiority complex and hatred towards himself, it acts as a conduit for his conflicting feelings.

Headcanons

Would the diaboys and Yui take your last name?

Shu

-----

Yes. While he has shown some care and loyalty to his brothers, the family name Sakamaki itself he has no loyalty to or care for, especially since he hates his dad. He also doesn't strike me as someone who cares about enforcing traditions.

Reiji

------

No. In most routes Reiji is the only Sakamaki brother that doesn't hate his father, and therefore has actual loyalty to his family name. He's also a very traditional man. He would not take your last name.

Ayato

-------

Also no. He hates Karlheinz and isn't traditional, but he's extremely possessive, so he wants you to take his last name. He wouldn't want to choose a new surname either because it's not possessive if you both changed your last names. He wants you to take his.

Laito

------

It's somewhat likely but I think he's more likely to want hyphenation or just choosing a new surname for the both of you.

Kanato

--------

Pretty much exact same as Ayato. You are his possession and you will take his last name to show that.

Subaru

---------

Subaru's possessive and hates his father so he has no real loyalty to his surname. He doesn't strike me as the traditional type but I think the idea of you taking his last name would appeal to him. You might be able to convince him to hyphenate or take your last name but I think ultimately his preference would be for you to take the surname Sakamaki after marriage.

Ruki

------

You will take his last name, he will not take yours. Not only is he traditional, he's also possessive and he's your master, so you must take his last name. And unlike the Sakamaki brothers, the Mukami brothers all have love and loyalty for their surname because it's what makes them brothers and family.

Kou

-----

I think he's one of the more open-minded diaboys regarding this, but I feel like he'd want you take his last name because of the love, loyalty, and family associated with it. He'd probably be open to hyphenate, but I don't think he'd want to take yours. He won't take your last name because he wants to stay with Mukami.

Yuma

------

For some reason I headcanon him as really open-minded with this but at the same time canonically he's super possessive and he has that love and loyalty with his surname. I still stand by that open-minded headcanon and I think he might outright suggest hyphenation.

Azusa

-------

Azusa would do anything to please his s/o but I think he's so attached to his last name that this is really the one thing he's unwilling to change. He'd be apologetic but he'd suggest hyphenation. He gets very attached to things with meaning so I can't see him being fully willing to give that up.

Carla

-------

You're taking his last name. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Shin

------

Same with Carla. He will absolutely not be changing his last name to yours. He might consider hyphenation but at the end of the day he'd demand you take his.

Kino

-----

Kino is very proud of his whole prince and son of Karlheinz status, so I doubt he'd be willing to take your last name. I have the feeling he wouldn't be willing to hyphenate either.

Yui

----

Yes. In fact, she'd be surprised and unsure about hyphenation or you taking hers. She's very traditional in that regard.

♱  DIABOLIK LOVERS: Haunted Dark Bridal ー Sakamaki Kanato | Ecstasy 5½  ♱

⌜ Scene: Kanato's Bedroom ⌟

Yui: Yaawn…

( Pwah, Kanato-kun’s fast asleep against me… )

Looks like I spent the night in his room again…

( Hehe, he’s snoozing away, all curled up with Teddy. )

( Even after waking up here so many times, it still makes me nervous in the best way… to be sharing a bed so closely, like this. )

( It feels so intimate, even on the nights that nothing like that happens. )

Hmm…

( I’ll try and rest my eyes just a little more, while I can. )

Wha…!

… …

Kyaa!!

( Over there!! Are those… )

Kanato: …I hope you have a good excuse for waking me up.

If it wasn’t because of Teddy falling to the floor, what could possibly make you so distressed at an hour like this, Yui-san?

Yui: K-Kanato-kun…

Kanato: Now you have taken to whispering, after just screaming your head off? Maybe sewing your mouth shut isn’t such a bad idea, after all…

Yui: I-I’m sorry, but, j-just over there…

Kanato: On that wall over there?

Yui: Can you see it too? A-Are those…

Eyes in the dark!?

Kanato: …Are you stupid?

Yui: E-Eh? You’re not alarmed…?

ー Kanato flicks his lamp on. ー

Kanato: It’s nothing more than a painting, obviously.

Yui: Wha…

( Turns out Kanto-kun’s right, it is a painting, after all… )

( Has that been there this whole time? )

I… I’m sorry, I guess I never noticed it before…

( Uu… But it’s so creepy, seeing such bright, green eyes following me… )

Kanato: …Hey, did you feel like you were being watched just now?

Yui: A little…

Kanato: Fufu, then it isn’t only me.

Do you know why that might be? Take another look at the woman in that painting, please. You can surely figure it out?

Yui: That… woman?

( Could it be unsettling because… )

━─┉┈◈ Selection ◈┈┉─━

　　❈  You know that woman? Yui: If you knew this woman… Wouldn’t that be why? It feels like she is watching you, even though she isn’t here with you? Kanato: In some ways, she is. Yui: Eh? Kanato: …Nothing. That isn’t the reason I was thinking; Should I spell it out for you?

　　❈  That woman is dead…? (♥) Yui: ( Considering it looks like an old painting… ) Could she have passed away? So, it feels… uncanny, seeing her like this? Kanato: Exactly… It is unsettling to feel watched from someone beyond the grave. Yui: ( Why does he have to stare at me when he says that…? ) Kanato: …Although, that isn’t the only reason.

━━─┉┈┈◈◉◈┈┈┉─━━

Kanato: You see, Yui-san? That woman is none other than my Mother.

Yui: Really?

( I guess Kanato-kun does look similar to her, in some ways… )

Kanato: Although she has since departed physically from this world, it is very much like she is still here… In more ways than one, fufufu.

Yui: Ah, Kanato-kun… I’m sorry for your loss.

Kanato: …Do you know how she died?

Yui: I wouldn’t know…

Kanato: Matricide.

Yui: E-Eh…!? You mean, sh-she…

Kanato: She was murdered by her own sons, yes.

Yui: ( S-Surely Kanato-kun had no part in that…? )

Kanato: Fufu, are you frightened to know that? 

Yui: I-It’s…

( I don’t want to linger on this topic any longer! )

W-Well… it’s a beautiful painting to remember her by, at least.

Kanato: Changing the subject…

You have an annoying habit of that. Although, this one time, I’ll forgive you for it.

It is a lovely painting… It captures her well, especially her eyes. It is ironic, though, that its painter is quite the black sheep amongst her sons.

Yui: When you say “her sons”… One of you painted this?

Kanato: Sakamaki Ryuuto did.

Yui: ( I’m only now learning, that Ryuuto-san is so closely related to Kanato-kun!? )

Kanato: He was the only one of her sons that had no part in her death.

In fact, I believe he attempted to save her…

Yui: ...!!

W-Well… She was your guys’ mother…

Kanato: …Yes. She was.

⌜ Monologue ⌟

When I mentioned Ryuuto-san’s maternal bond, Kanato-kun looked incredibly irritated; Can he truly not fathom such a feeling, Of putting everything on the line for family? If not for his own Mother… Would he do that for anyone, at all? Would Kanato-kun do that for me…?

[krispycreamcake]

If you killed someone in the Sakamaki household (part 2)

Laito Sakamaki

🃏- Ok so Laito might be the most complicated to explain so far, so bare with me I beg

🃏- He'd find it amusing that you managed to actually bring yourself to kill someone, especially a vampire

🃏- He'd use this person's death to teach you a thing or two about "discipline"

🃏- And to further dig into that, he'd basically use it as a way to show dominance over you

🃏- An example of this could be him slicing your neck enough to draw blood but not deep enough to kill you, while simultaneously feeding off of you

🃏- Seeing as he's the closest with Ayato, compared to the rest of his brothers, I don't think it'd bother him that much to be honest

🃏- He'd definitely be taken aback but like I said, find it somewhat entertaining

🃏- And remember that thing I said about him disciplining you?

🃏- He'd make sure you remember your place as prey

🃏- But internally, he'd wonder why you didn't kill him, which in turn would bring up a lot of unwanted questions

🃏- He'd question whether or not you actually might have feelings for him because of this seeing as that's the only possible outcome

🃏- On the opposite side of things, he might think that you murdered one of his brothers just to torment and spite him

🃏- And I say this because it's canon that he does crave death

🃏- So he might think that you're secretly torturing him, playing mind games

🃏- And if we go back a bit to him questioning if you really do have feelings for him

🃏- He'll think your pathetic or slow witted seeing as how he thinks he's "broken" and no longer can be his authentic self

🃏- He'll also consider the possibility that he might also be next and question your motives

🃏- He'd slowly come to dislike you because of this and other factors as well

🃏-For one, he'd wonder why this was bugging him so much and he'd try to force your motives out of you and your true intentions

🃏- This will have a domino effect which will then cascade into him reevaluating himself and thinking about how you both may be similar in a sense

🃏- Give me like a quick second to explain

🃏- By him feeling the need to "reveal" yourself and why you did what you did, he's then hit with the realization that he too hides behind a facade to trick others

🃏- In any case if he finds out you killing his brother is as simple as you being driven past insanity like he originally thought, he'll find himself a bit pathetic for delving into something so trivial as deep as he did

🃏- If it was maybe Ayato that you killed by chance, he'd be a bit devastated honestly

🃏- Him and Ayato are definitely close despite their hatred towards one another

🃏- Would probably lock himself in his room but knowing Laito, he'd pretend to be okay even if he wasn't

🃏- He'd feel as if Ayato was still yet to help him from back then and now he'll never have the opportunity to prove himself as the big brother he once knew

🃏- If you killed Yui, he probably wouldn't care as much

🃏- Like I said many times before, this is highly dependent on their current relationship with her

🃏- Like Ayato, he'd feel the need to punish you for taking away something that was his

🃏- If his and Yui's relationship was well developed, he'd go into a depressive slump and kill you out of blind rage

Kanato Sakamaki

🧸- Wouldn't care honestly

🧸- I know that's a strong start but let me explain

🧸- Kanato doesn't really hold any strong ties within his family seeing as he often isolates himself

🧸- Like everyone else, he'd question how in the world you managed to pull off such a feat

🧸- In a similar sense to Laito, he'll use this as an opportunity to remind you of your place and reinforce the whole predator and prey dynamic

🧸- He might even think you did it out of love

🧸- If that was the case, he'd be literally overjoyed and encourage you to kill the others like he did to Yui in one of his route endings

🧸- I can't honestly say he'd act any particular way if you killed a specific brother

🧸- Might ask you how you killed them and even ask you to see the body

🧸- Would be shocked if you were still somewhat sane after that

🧸- And I say that because he's one to be perceptive of others, but just doesn't voice it until he needs it as leverage

🧸- So if he noticed you were still mentally intact, he'd be glad because he loves you

🧸- I'm joking, that's not the reason

🧸- He'd be glad because this meant he gets to try breaking you, seeing as you can withstand killing in cold blood

🧸- He's also curious as to what exactly your limits are and try different things to cross your mental line

🧸- Would subtly give you hints on how to kill the rest of his brothers

🧸- Might also get an erection

🧸- Who honestly knows

🧸- Okay but in all seriousness, wouldn't care that much and would rather dive into YOUR mind and figure out what made your gears grind

🧸- Super sorry his was so short, he's just a nonchalant dreadhead 😞

Subaru Sakamaki

🥀- Surprised honestly

🥀- As much as he hates his brothers, he does still see them as his brothers no matter how annoying they are

🥀- Which in turn makes that more annoying

🥀- He'd definitely be the one to give the eulogy and tear up a bit, just a bit

🥀- If you killed out of self defense instead of just plain murder, he'd 100% understand and wouldn't even be mad

🥀- He'd ask you the whole runaround with why and how you did it

🥀- "Heh, you're a lot stronger than you let on"

🥀- He'd think a bit more highly of you and say you have more sense than a lot of the women who came here as sacrifices

🥀- Like Laito, wouldn't be able to wrap his head around why you didn't kill him

🥀- You'll probably have to explain why though if you ever want him to open up to you

🥀- Would get frustrated with you because you didn't choose to kill him despite him being a "monster"

🥀- Due to his relationship with Christa, he has a beyond fucked up interpretation of death

🥀- Would get a little jealous if he thinks you killed them out of love

🥀- He'd never show it though (he would)

🥀- Speaking of never showing things, if he was even a tiny bit sad that his brother died he'd try his best to hide it

🥀- Might criticize his brothers for not caring enough

🥀- And I say that only because the only other brothers left are siblings

🥀- So he'd kinda question how shallow they really were if they weren't even the slightest bit affected

🥀- Since we know Subaru's favourite brother is Shu, he'd honestly be sad if he was the one who died

🥀- He'd probably think about him from time to time and be the one brother who references to back when he was alive the most

🥀- The others would pick up on this but never say anything

🥀- Except for Reiji

🥀- If it was Yui, he'd be so upset

🥀- Since we all know how Subaru is

🥀- He'd never show it in case of being embarrassed by his brothers

🥀- Would be mad at you but to keep up his facade, he'd need to avoid you so it looks like he isn't affected

🥀- If he already had a bond with Yui, yes you guessed it

🥀- Death, death, death, you die. I cannot emphasize this more, you WILL die

From author: Firstly, sorry this one was kinda late, we didn't have wifi😓 Secondly, I loved this request and I know I kinda went character analysis-y with this so I apologize for that😭 Anyways hope you guys are doing good!

[yuikomorii]

// I’m making this post, as a result of seeing way too much hate and misinfo regarding every character. Nobody stops anyone from voicing their opinion but the need to degrade a character, while providing BAD reasons or stating incorrect/out-of-context facts about them only for the sake of internet validation, is such a loser move.

We’re all in this fandom to have fun and even if you have something negative to say about a character you don’t like, keep it to yourself or in private with your friends.

Ayato:

“I don’t like Ayato, he’s overrated”, omg you’re just sooo different! Definitely not like other girls/guys!

Everyone is allowed to dislike whatever they want but if Ayato is your least/one of your least favorite DL characters, then your opinion ISN’T valid. This is a franchise full of abusive characters and he’s literally the most heroic love interest. Why would you hate the hero…?

“He’s dumb and annoying”, says the person who spends their time insulting FICTIONAL characters. 1) Japanese fans like dumb characters, since they come off as endearing; 2) Ayato outdid everyone throughout the routes.

He did more good than all of his brothers and saying that X, Y or Z deserves the main role more, is fake fan behavior because at this point you’re just setting up your favs.

Kanato:

No, you’re not cool for calling him ugly. It’s okay if you’re not into that type of characters but his design is not bad at all.

“He had no development”, he does in CL. It’s not major but it can still be visible.

The whole Teddy thing might be annoying to some of you, but his fans get why he acts that way. Let’s not forget that he is a victim of neglect.

Yes, he was sexually exploited too. Don’t forget this x2.

Laito:

“I hate Laito so much, he was so cruel in HDB 😢”; stop living in the past and move on already.

His development shouldn’t be overlooked only because your opinion about him was formed on something that came out more than 10 years ago.

He’s still the most fascinating DL character and I get that he might make some of you feel uncomfortable but don’t project your triggers on a character that’s merely made after a trope.

Shu:

No, it’s not Shu’s fault for the way Reiji acted. Envy is never a good reason to hurt someone.

“Shu roasts the heroine the most!”, I get that it’s rude but his insults are actually funny?? A bunch of people will like him for being brutally honest or a jerk because it’s literally a game for players with masochistic fantasies. They WANT to be roasted by good-looking men. That’s the point.

“Shu is lazy and stupid, he’s the only one who failed his school year”, genuine question: If you were an immortal creature that doesn’t need food or sleep to survive, would you still care about grades? Besides, he’s really smart.

“Shu doesn’t care about Yuma, he just feels guilty”, in LE he sacrificed himself for him and reincarnated merely because he wished to meet Yuma again and get on well with him in another life—

Reiji:

“He hurt Shu and Yuma”, well yeah but he was shown plenty of times regretting it and trying to fix things. Stop reminding this to Reiji stans because that conflict is already closed.

“He is so mean in other routes”, obviously?? If you don’t teach him how to love, he won’t suddenly act nice towards anyone.

Without him Yui would fail her tests and the Sakamaki household would be in chaos.

Subaru:

“W-What do you mean baby Tsundere is not soft innocent virgin boy? 🥺”; he has never been like that, that’s how YOU perceived him. Stop acting so shocked every time Subaru does something bad because he’s still a vampire after all??

Also, why are so many people reducing his character to Kou and/or Yui—? He’s much more than that and has his own interests, struggles, likes, dislikes, and so on.

“He’s irrelevant”; Diabolik Lovers has 13 love interests, they can’t make everyone extremely important to the general plot. Just enjoy a character as it is, it’s not that hard.

Ruki:

The cat jokes were funny when the Meow Meow Vampire art came out but MOVE ON. I hate that scene and Ruki was in the wrong but come on now, that’s not even the worst thing he has done and MB happened in 2013.

I understand not liking Ruki as a person, because he’s mostly not a good one, but this doesn’t mean he’s not a good character.

“Ruki deserved what happened to him in the past because he was cruel towards everyone”; while I agree that Karma hit him, I wouldn’t say any child really deserves to go through that. He was just a spoiled brat, who most likely wasn’t taught by his parents about modesty or kindness.

Kou:

“He was so cruel in MB 😣”, and HE HAD DEVELOPMENT! He’s not the same anymore, nobody is.

“He overreacts”, sometimes he’s not in the wrong and has all rights to be angry.

Kou isn’t afraid of going against Ruki, even if he’s the brother he admires the most, as long as he knows that what Ruki is doing isn’t good.

Yuma:

“He beat Yui up in the MB bad ending!😡😡”, it’s a bad ending for a reason, lol.

Pretty reminder that Yuma always tries to help others with Kou and Azusa, and was even willing to save the ghouls in LE.

“Yuma doesn’t care about Shu”, did we play the same game or…?

Azusa:

“Azusa is so horrible, he threw Teddy in the fire!”; and he only did it to save Yui, it was not intentional.

While not all his actions are good, keep in mind that he never means any harm and is overall such a sweet guy.

“He is too clingy”; I know that might not be everyone’s cup of tea but is it really worth hating a character just for wanting affection?

The Tsukinamis and Kino:

“They were too easy to defeat in DF!”; Dark Fate wasn’t entirely about them to begin with. Most routes focused on the boys’ internal struggles with their trauma and how to move past it.

“Kino is sometimes mean for the sake of being mean”; it’s almost as if he’s the ✨villain✨

It’s dumb questioning the morals of characters supposed to have an antagonistic role.

“Kino hurt Ayato in LE”; out of all characters who have wronged Ayato, at least Kino felt bad and wanted to apologize.

Yui:

“She’s dumb and ugly”; Japanese fans literally love her for being an idiot because it wouldn’t be fun to see the heroine being the best at everything or not making mistakes at all. Plus, her design is definitely not ugly.

Stop creating your own version of Yui in your head and ending up disappointed when she doesn’t act the way you expect her to. No, Yui is not OOC for liking being bitten, having a low learning ability or saying things she shouldn’t in the wrong moments. Nobody is perfect and everyone has their own kinks and flaws.

“She’s too innocent”; she’s not?? If you really want to see her thirsty, go play Ayato’s routes, especially the heaven scenarios.

“She’s weak”, she’s the opposite. Yui is one of the most mentally strong DL characters.

I can’t understand people who hate on heroines when they’re present in all routes and are the most positive characters.

How would you rank the boys from most to least possessive? Kind of random question I know but I'm just interested in your opinion :3

it makes me really happy knowing you all love my opinions even though I feel like that's it's been long since I read a few routes and hopefully don't make any misinterpretation 😭

I didn't know what kind of interpretation you wanted so I gave my opinions in what way they were and now are possessive and why.

there are chances some people's ranking might not match with mine but I tried my best to rank the boys based on my (not so horrible) memories. it was difficult to do overall so I did family wise because many boys were ending up on a tie.

(don't forget to read the conclusion note!!)

I ranked based on them giving freedom to Yui from least to highest !!!

Sakamakis:

1. Ayato: it's wayyyy too obvious that Ayato is the most possessive out of all his brothers, and one of the reasons being Cordelia's obsession to make him no.1 which narrowed down his mentality to "yours truly" and always getting/acquiring "first class things" it can also be seen in the anime how obsessed he became to make Yui only his after being the first one to taste her blood, to the point he left hickeys on her before she went for a bath. I wouldn't say his possessiveness towards Yui was just as "a prey", more than that, his obsession to be number one due to Cordelia surpassed that reason as Yui's blood was considered special as it was the finest of its quality in the whole world, according to them.

Kanato: I haven't read his routes much, actually I tried to but just couldn't make myself sit through it, but based on what I have seen in anime and some routes, he is one of the most possessive ones after ayato (maybe?) and.... not in a good way. I don't think I need to expand on it because we all have sat through it in anime in scenes with Kanato. though there are chances he might have changed a little(?) in future games, Kanato stans are free to come and correct me because he is one of the characters whose content I have never read much.

Laito: it might be surprising to some but let me tell you, his possessiveness started on Yui as "a prey" behind that facade he puts on due to what Cordelia did to him. it's more like he is conflicted. his possessiveness is way too conflicted because of Cordelia. openly, people think that he let's Yui to be shared to others but I think it's more like, he don't wanna succumb to any feelings or have anyone special to him, to the point he don't wanna be possessive to someone in either good way or bad way. but ofc, after staying with Yui, he finally started to open up and slowly became possessive (in mid of MB maniac/ecstasy, then VC and further) I would say he is a silent possessive man, because people will think he is being carefree but he is indirectly protecting Yui (encounter with Carla and Shin in DF)

Reiji: the only reason Reiji is considered more possessive than Subaru is because of his obsession to not let Yui in contact with Shu, which is of course because he was scared. Seeing how everything eventually belonged to Shu, no matter if he wanted it or not, meanwhile he, Reiji, being neglected by everyone, even servants, he was scared to lose Yui to Shu. and thus he was such a nasty possessive man in the first game, but his character slowly developed and his possessiveness turned towards the direction of sweetness. it was good to see how he went from being scared of Shu snatching Yui away to not feeling the fear anymore and having full on trust on Yui which is a very big thing in Reiji's case.

Subaru: because of his distrust in women due to his mom, even though he was possessive with Yui, it was not in a good way but, thankfully, eventually as he became comfortable with her, he slowly became a sweet gentle boy. what I liked the most was that despite being possessive he let Yui freely roam around but magically appeared whenever someone advances at her. tsundere.

Shu: my lazy sloth, who doesn't want to have anyone close to him because of his past. he was the least possessive for obvious reasons but gradually as his relationship with Yui developed and he came out of his bubble, his possessive side could be seen. Just like the other two before, he did give freedom to Yui but easily gets jealous so his possessiveness was never in a bad way that much.

Mukamis:

(these brothers were so hard to rank because they are equal to each other when it comes to possessiveness)

Kou: ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌ he was very much possessive of Yui in MB but in a very wrong way due to obsession of Adam's apple plan but thankfully by the end of ecstasy he started becoming a little normal. he gets easily jealous, so Yui always watch out for herself. in conclusion, he is the most possessive in his brothers and thankfully it went from toxic to normal possessiveness.

Ruki: livestock. yes that's the word he used to rationalise his toxic possessiveness towards Yui for completion of his plan. it was cute to see how he went from being possessive as "master" to being possessive as a jelly boyfie. plus one of the reasons he is very possessive with Yui is because he can never get any "undisturbed" alone time with her due to his brothers which makes his actions ,when he is being possessive with her, very cute.

Yuma: my sweet Gardner boy. (Yuma Stans help me because I'm out of words (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠))

Azusa: my cinnamon roll and one of the members of "eve's no. 1 protector" club. Azusa is cutely possessive (if we ignore the knife obsession in starting). best boi, will do anything for Yui. Might not look possessive of Yui but he secretly is but more than that, to him her happiness matters the most. I read somewhere that in his route in chaos lineage it was revealed he asked Karlheinz to turn back time 3-4 times??? I'm not sure if i remember it correctly but this also directs towards how he remembers in almost most of the routes in CL, and in some, to us readers, it's indirectly hinted that he remembers but he is hiding it.... but that's a topic for another day. also feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. and we got distracted from the topic.......

Tsukinamis:

Shin: insecure possessiveness. after losing his eye and getting his pride hurt, his only aim was to surpass his brother, Carla, which he was never able to. just like how Carla wanted recognition from his father, Shin wanted recognition from his older brother. this is why he was so obsessed to get Yui in every single route, even in his own route. this is why I loved his route, because of the development. minor details matter too. his toxic possessiveness turning into normal boyfriend possessiveness yet the goal to acquire her remaining the same but not in toxic way (LE being an example when he pushed Yui away to keep her safe no matter how much he wanted her.)

Carla: he is such a beautiful composed character, that people aren't aware about the rate of his possessiveness. unless you have read any Carla route, you won't know how bad is the possessive rate in Tsukinami family. as he was raised to be a king, he hides his emotions well which is also the reason why it took him time to realise his own feelings but when he did, the possessiveness (⁠ﾉ⁠´⁠･⁠ω⁠･⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠ ⁠ﾐ⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

because of DF Shin, Carla is on second rank or else his LE route was dangerous for my heart. ifykyk

→ I didn't rank kino because I'm totally not aware with his character so I didn't wanna make any wrong interpretation.

in conclusion: all of them were toxic-ly possessive at some rate but slowly as the more time they spent with Yui and developed their character, their nature of possessiveness also started to change. I rated the possessiveness based on the freedom they allow Yui for.

any diaboy at first rank doesn't mean that they don't give freedom to Yui at all, it's just less compared to others and their jealousy level is ↑

why did this post go from possessive analysis to character analysis, I'm sorry, i just loose the track so much while writing (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)
