Can I ask for Hc's of A yandere Guren x reader?

Guren as a yandere

── ୨୧：guren ichinose x reader

୨୧﹑synopsis :: a retainer of the Ichinoses, you want to go out, and he is starkly against letting you do so. It's not safe for you, haven't you realised that yet?

୨୧﹑genre :: in the get traumatised category ♡

୨୧﹑content :: yandere (obviously) guren is basically a huge asshole, like he's lowkey rude 💀, implied infantilising, impled murder (blink and you'll miss it), his solution to many things is either to stroke their ego or degrade them, there's a very obvious power imbalance that Guren does in fact abuse

୨୧﹑words :: 1312

so it just so happened I was writing something related to Guren that gave me the idea for this and I was unceremoniously dragged back to tumblr to write this. also sorry I said I was gonna post a while ago but things happened (╥╯^╰╥) I feel better today though so now I bring you this. Pretty sure I've never actually written for Guren before now so he may be a bit iffy

the Lieutenant Colonel is one the most helpful he can be towards you, who is supposed to be a member of a retainer house to his family, the one who is supposed to be born to serve him. You manage to fit in well enough in the Demon Army, he makes sure of that, even if your job has never really tended to revolve around combat unless necessary.

it is his orders never to leave the city walls unless he asks you to, and never to venture too far away if you do. By his own words, equipment management for the Moon Demon Company is important, though it has never exactly been the most fun of jobs. If it is what he asks of you, you have little say in the matter. It never helps that your complaints to him are met with high praise to your attentiveness to detail and skill in this particular line of work. Anything that will make you stay right where you are.

each and every time, there's an excuse. Something that pushes and pulls you on a rollercoaster of feeling either somewhat content in pleasing a member of the Ichinose family or feeling as if you are a disappointment to him for underestimating how thought out Guren's decision to put you in charge of this work. Something to make sure you sit down and shut up. Something. Your work is necessary, he doesn't have time to fill your position, the members of your assigned 'squad' are all inexperienced in field work, each time they go out somebody ends up dead after getting separated from your group and next time that could be you.

that or it's a 'next time' that never comes.

though Guren admires that you have a desire to be helpful (his own words), he convinces you that your vital help is needed elsewhere, and to stop hassling him because you've devalued your own field of expertise. It's irritating. It comes off as something like getting told that the big kids don't want to play with you before Guren banishes you back to your room.

sometimes there are days Guren is tolerable, and those are the days in which he asks for your help in other things, and when his praise is least grating. He appreciates your work instead of trying to push you back down into your place, even when he's figured out that the surefire way to shut you up is to remind you you're merely a retainer. You are to do what he says exactly as he says it and you are not to fuss because this is your born purpose. He has so kindly offered to release you from this responsibility if you wish it so, but knowing the ridicule you'll likely face is enough to make you shut your big mouth and shake your head.

but he can only be patient for so long, and so your constant 'defiance' ends up landing in you in the equivalent of adult detention as he asks (more like orders) you to do you work where he can see you to make sure you don't intentionally make yourself look incompetent to get out of it. You've never pulled such a thing before, so it confuses you, but you begrudgingly accept. You always find yourself with little say in these matters, holing up in some corner of his office to go over the inventory records and reports broken or missing equipment that would need to be replaced.

it's an awkward silence, even with the record player spinning a vinyl record he found from God knows where, broken only by the occasional flip of paper or the moment you forced yourself to clear your throat, a sigh, a pen scribbling away at paper. It was something quite close to torture actually.

but it certainly shut you up again.

you decide to keep your comments to yourself, avoid Guren altogether in fact and hurriedly make up some excuse why you were busy every time he was in to check up on how things were. Truth be told you hate this work, never wanted it and still don't want it, but after being told it was one of your few options after training it was your own lifeline to be able to bargain with Guren for a spot.

to be honest he finds that really annoying about you.

though doing his best to keep you out of danger you insist on endangering yourself senselessly, and so if Guren would like to keep you locked up in your safe little cage where you stay under only his command he must continue to make life on the battlefield quite unappealing.

there is only one way to achieve such a thing. Guren must endanger you only once to never again fret over the possibility of you being harmed. Something to bring you down again so you start to appreciate how much effort he puts into protecting you.

he's quite insistent on talking to you on this particular day. Guren was willing to wait just to talk to you specifically, even when he had recently been content with talking to anyone for verbal reports. This was personal business apparently and he asked that you drop everything and come talk to him.

"You can go." is the first thing out of his mouth, and your eyes light up wondering if maybe— just maybe he was saying what you thought. "We're short some people, it's not like it's heavy combat." he quickly waves off the gravity of it with a motion of his hand.

he lied about that part, where he said it wasn't heavy combat.

stronger Vampires can easily overpower Demons of higher calibres, let alone ones with no particular importance, merely Rakshasa as was carried by many underlings of Guren's. It didn't stand a chance, it's hard to even remember how you got from leisurely wandering around with little care in the world to crawling along the floor in a pool of blood you weren't sure whether or not to be thankful wasn't yours. It all went horrible wrong somewhere, somewhere between venturing into an abandoned building and where you sit now letting blood soak into your clothes as you freeze up from the fear and realisation finally sinking in. You got ambushed at some point, your clothes being stained by the red smears on the floor that used to be your friends, and as the last remaining you know you won't survive that. Vampires are quite cruel like that, they like to play with their food sometimes.

you scrunch yourself into a tight ball at the thought and just lay there on the floor, replaying the events in your mind as you wonder what you were thinking exactly. How could you hope to be useful when you were still the little kid Guren had been treating you like? You should've just stayed where he told you to.

a heavy thud against your side causes you to flinch, but the weight dissipates so quickly all you can see are scattered ashes and the faint glow of Guren's violet eyes. "Do you understand it now?" he asks the question quite coldly, "It's too dangerous out here."

"Everyone is dead, aren't they?" your voice is shakier than you expected, quieter. It almost doesn't even register that you managed to survive. You look down at your hands, covered in blood that's beginning to dry and make your hands feel icky. Your uniform sticks to your skin uncomfortably. You feel dirty thinking about why that is.

he never answers your question, just quietly moves closer to you as your only comfort. You stiffen when his hand touches your back and swallow the urge to pull away. You know the answer to that anyway.

you never quite thought you'd be glad to return to busy work.

artfight attack on @gearbroth's sol engineer and ironstar gordon!!

i love them so much you have no idea. their designs are SO gorgeous

sometimes a family is a child who keeps pieces of every shameful memory in order to keep himself from feeling happy, the aforementioned child’s best friend who is also a dog, and the very large man with a bunch of mildly uncomfortable fun facts ordered to murder the aforementioned child

(and also a detective who’s bad at his job and is trying to keep this child alive, a semi-kleptomaniac not-so-fatal femme fatale, the local bartender who fucking hates this child, and a reporter trying to find the biggest scoop she can even though she keeps getting overshadowed by unimportant stories. but i’m not so sure they’ve reached familial status yet.)

"[Fitzjames'] public demeanor, which was always an easy mix of self-effacing humor and firm command, remained the same, but in private with only Crozier in attendance, Fitzjames spoke less, smiled less frequently, and too often looked distracted and miserable. For a melancholy man like Crozier, the signs were obvious. At times it was like staring into a looking glass, except for the fact that the melancholy countenance staring back was a proper lisping English gentleman rather than an Irish nobody."

I think it's fine to dislike Strive for being a high damage, high offence gorilla game with easier combos, that's certainly not for everyone, but I'm actually going to explode if I see another person say "the power level is too high." are you for fucking real. if you're comparing it to, like, street fighter, fine, but if you compare it to XRD and say that I need you to please think critically for one single second

like, okay, fine, XRD doesn't let every character two touch you (except when it does, but it's pretty character and RISC specific) but holy fuck have you ever actually looked at that game and all the bullshit it lets you get up to

every single character in the game gets to enforce some fucked up looping okizeme except for, like... zato when he runs out of eddie gauge? sure, some of them are better than others, like Slayer's 4-way mix off of certain knockdowns, all of which lead into another 4-way mixup. you also have whatever the fuck haehyun has going on (genuinely i still can't block that shit it's fucking insane im glad she isn't very popular because of her difficulty and slowness) or johnny yrc zweihander

like. please. strive has two-touchy kaboom you explode gameplay. XRD has five-touchy you want to uninstall gameplay. stop saying the power level is too high i beg you XRD is not any less fucked up it's not a holy grail of fighting game fundamentals it's "we gave everyone insane bullshit so it balances itself out in the end" have you ever been in a venom 50 meter red glowy ball vortex or a johnny Bacchus sigh setup or gotten knocked down once vs jacko stop it stop it stop IT STOP IT

go play some XRD though. if you can get past YRC... existing, it's pretty fun and I want more people online to play with

The jokes comparing hamilton and epic drive me crazy cause it shows such lack of understanding of what happens in the circe saga. Circe wasn't offering Odysseus to sleep with her, she wasn't even making him have sex with her in exchange for his me, like her version in the source material did. She was TESTING HIM

messily divorced (platonic) has got to be my favorite dynamic of all time

[grimweathers]

not to get super vulnerable on here or whatever but i have a tiny discord server with my irl friend group (5 of us total) and i feel really dumb when i am the only one who regularly posts in there. they all have people (partners) in their everyday irl life that they can share their fun little silly thoughts with and i don’t and i have to do it in a DISCORD SERVER and just hope someone sees it and responds and that makes me feel bad :)

[dutybcrne]

Love the idea of Kae painstakingly learning Hilichurian, at first bc he figured it was another skill under his belt then bc talking with them made him curious abt them and their origin

[saum0-0]

transmasc jonny is a very common hc in this fandom and it baffles my brain slightly every time bc she is so transfem to me,,

[shoechoe]

this image is from the ren and stimpy adult party cartoon by the way if you're curious

I may have been writing evil things but it's okay because I have a pebbles top scars concept with a spinkle of sunstone and another sunstone one where pebbles gets caught lovingly gazing at suns with a spinkle of gjinka bs

[heteromenckenist]

im aware that the majority of the time transmasc roman is a headcanon and im indifferent to it though i am curious why exactly so many people seem to think it’s a fitting headcanon or even interpretation of the character? I can puzzle minor reasons, but imo the majority of them don’t hold up well (for instance; roman tries and fails to fulfill logan’s masculine standard - which i typically see as a pretty superficial approach. or worse, kieran culkin is short) like the restrictions here are .. apparent. to me 😭 I wouldn’t be questioning this if it weren’t for the prevalence of the headcanon. especially over yk. things more grounded. in the text.

[cozymochi]

never wrong 💃

[starlit-mansion]

lmao that reminded me of my headcanon of trucy third wheeling every date apollo and klavier go on so aggressively that they a) give up on the idea that she won't and b) don't bother to schedule dates when she's busy with something because she'll start scheming and they don't want to mess up her career/school/social life
