#yandere ratchet and clank

[yanderes-galore]

I recently replayed Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart and you already have a concept for Ratchet. So, i thought it would be nice if you wrote one for Rivet as well. Just some general thoughts on how she would act around a resistance member like herself.

Watched some cutscenes and did some personality research on her, hope I have something good :)

Yandere! Rivet Concept

(FT. Rebel! Darling)

Pairing: Romantic/Platonic

Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Stalking, Overprotective behavior, Fear of loss, Trust issues, Clingy behavior, Manipulation, Delusional behavior, Kidnapping, Dubious companionship/relationship.

Rivet would naturally be friendly towards another resistance member.

In fact, her obsession is most likely going to be part of the Resistance, so this may not change her behavior much.

While Rivet has trust issues, rebels against Nefarious are those she feels a certain kinship for.

After all, you're both fighting for the same cause...

Freedom.

Many rebels know of Rivet.

She's the only Lombax in this universe and always sacrifices her comfort in order to help those in need.

She never seems to back down despite her many defeats.

She's a good person even if she's hesitant when it comes to making friends.

When she trusts someone, she's loyal until they hurt her.

Although she's quite used to working alone.

When she first meets you, she's hesitant.

Due to her trust issues her obsession would have to prove themselves to gain her trust.

When you do and prove to her you are a rebel...

Rivet is quite the protective Lombax.

She's naturally caring, albeit awkward, and offers you and services she can spare.

She's quite the inventor, after all.

She makes you gear, weapons, anything you need to aid you

In return, you become companions and often help one another out.

She slowly but surely grows close to you, keeping you out of danger as much as she can...

She's not used to any of this... companionship doesn't happen often with her.

Rivet doesn't have many friends, let alone family.

This is due to the fact her home is under a tyrant's rule and the fact her entire race is locked away in another dimension.

So those she does consider close are under her protection.

She can get quite overprotective, unfortunately.

Around her obsession, Rivet may not know she's being suffocating.

It's all small things like her lingering around you or calling you on the radio system.

Honestly, with how smart Rivet is, I would not doubt her putting a tracker on you to make sure you stay out of dangerous sectors.

She's another who would justify her behavior as just being "worried".

Invasive? Sure... but better than dead!

Rivet in the end would just want her obsession safe.

If her obsession confronted her about being clingy or not trusting you, she may not understand and get defensive.

She's just... really close to you...!

She doesn't want you getting hurt.

In terms of her overall type, definitely a clingy protective yandere.

Maybe even with some oblivious behavior due to how socially awkward she is.

She gets overly excited when with her obsession, just happy to see you're okay.

She may even be a bit manipulative if she feels she could lose you.

Overall I'd imagine she's tame.

She wouldn't kidnap you necessarily.

But she may isolate you if she feels you'll be safer that way.

Murder? Not her thing.

If she snapped and you were in danger, maybe, but that's a spur of the moment thing.

For that to happen she'd need to be under a ton of stress and a life or death situation.

Rivet can also struggle with cheering people up.

So imagine you're having a breakdown, perhaps due to feeling isolated, only for Rivet to awkwardly attempt to make you feel better.

In reality she'd probably make something worse, especially if she's locking you in her base of operations.

Rivet is definitely someone who means well with her obsession, but is completely oblivious to the harm she causes you...

Sure, she may want to protect you and keep you away from harm...

But are trackers, stalking, and isolation the way to do it?

Rivet may feel guilty when convinced that what she's doing isn't right.

She doesn't mean to make you upset.

Although... Rivet may also seem delusional at times to try and justify her actions.

While it may seem like what she's doing is wrong... Isn't it justified due to the situation with Nefarious?

While she may struggle to admit it... Rivet is scared to lose you.

One way or another, you feel like the family she's never had.

She tries to reason with you and plead with you to understand when she isolates you in her base.

She holds you close, fur against your skin and cold metal arm lightly brushing against your arm.

She feels sorry... but everything she does is for you.

Just... Just trust her, please...

She knows it's a lot to ask, but she never wants to let go.

She wants things to continue as they were...

She doesn't want you to hate her.

You helped each other out, you supported her as a rebel, you mean so much to her because she's so lonely.

Such thoughts make her worried.

If she loses you... What is she supposed to do?

The best course of action would be to prevent any harm from happening... To be your hero and defend you...

Yet in the end she's simply locking you away, isolating you, just because she doesn't trust you to fend for yourself... and is scared she'll lose the only family she has.

So Klunk was just planning to... play house with Ratchet? Just wanted to keep him in one place and interact with him as he tried to convince him that Klunk was his best friend?

Klunks processors were overheated from having too much Lombax hair stuck in his vacuum ports (I think Clank had a throw away line about Ratchet shedding a lot that was intended as potential foreshadowing but I don't remember, as I'm typing this I'm shoveling duck poop) and he runs off before Neffy can completely repair and clean him out, so Klunk would have spent the comic malfunctioning, swapping constantly between these moods of

1.) "Oh yes, I was the little toaster on your back this whole time. I was the Clank! We were the best of evil friends doing bad things and skateboarding together!" Klunk

2.) Normal Villainous "I hate you." Klunk

And

3.) "...you're trying to leave me aren't you...

>:(" Klunk.

So basically his behavior was very unpredictable and horror coded and Ratchet has found himself in the plot of Stephen King's 'Misery' with Klunk taking the role of the scary lady while Klunk is trying to use the mind control device to make Ratchet into the one from his delusional malfunctioning mind, and depending on if I was going the direction of straight horror (the device is functioning but rather slowly, as Ratchet tries to hold out for his friends to rescue him before he loses himself to the device) or the comedy route (the device ISN'T working but Ratchet has to pretend it is because his life is in legitimate danger as long as crazy Yandere Klunk has him) or some combination of the two............ I lost my train of thought.

Now that I think of it, I have no idea why I was writing a psychological horror/comedy Ratchet and Clank fanfic comic. I don't tend to write horror. 🤔 I wish I could remember what was going through my mind at the time.

[yanderes-galore]

Hi, I'm glad you opened the requests, could I request an angst with a yandere Emperor Nefarious x AFAB human reader? Pls

Sure! I wasn't exactly sure what you wanted plot-wise, so I did a concept to get some ideas down if that was fine :(? I feel angst is just going to happen naturally, lol. I could've done this gender-neutral, but I tried to comply with the request.

Yandere! Emperor Nefarious with Human! Darling

Pairing: "Romantic"

Possible Trigger Warnings: Female Darling, Obsession, Manipulation, Possessive behavior, Kidnapping, Isolation, Dehumanization, Human pet, Forced "relationship".

Humans are not a common sight in this universe.

However, in a world where literal Dimensional Paradoxes are happening... Anything can happen, right?

Maybe there's a dimension or universe where humans exist.

Or, maybe, you could make this a Self-Aware yandere thing where you're transported to the game's universe.

Either way, your species is more exotic than a Lombax in this universe.

Let alone a human female.

It's implied humans existed at one point, but there isn't much on that.

So not many people here are going to know what you are.

Even less so if you land yourself in Emperor Nefarious' dimension.

This universe is already primarily occupied by robotic life.

So you're even more out of place.

I suspect it wouldn't be long before a drone captured you and put you into custody.

The security is tight in this place and your exotic appearance isn't exactly helping you.

I unfortunately think that a human darling has one fate.

Pet.

Which alone would cause angst.

When you're taken in you're immediately caged in a cell for Nefarious to look at.

A human ending up here would make sense due to all the rifts.

So now Nefarious not only has to deal with two Lombaxes and his counterpart... but you.

He's never seen something like you.

Even in museums or archives, He hasn't seen much of your species.

Humans... a primitive life form compared to anyone in his universe.

He originally looks at you with both curiosity and disgust.

What are you doing here?

Far from home, are you?

Now you're stuck in a neon city, no other humans around and surrounded by robots.

Not only that...

But now you're in a cage before a robotic Emperor who keeps looking at you like you're some guinea pig.

Emperor Nefarious just seems demeaning in general.

But with someone he views as a lesser life form?

Even more so.

He isn't quite sure what to do with you at first.

Originally he just keeps you hostage for research since he doesn't want you roaming.

Over time, obviously diverging from canon, maybe there's some slight interest.

Nefarious is a fan of winning and adoration.

He'd probably treat his human like some sort of dog to perform tricks for him.

Knowing how self obsessed he is, he'd make you worship him.

He'd give you more freedom if you prove useful.

Which mostly means, how fast can he break you to worship him.

He feels like making you obey him is such a feat.

He wants to broadcast it when it happens, showing his citizens he made an ancient species bow to him.

A "relationship" with him isn't what you think.

He just uses you as a way to boost his ego and treat you like a pet.

Although... Nefarious may also use you to research you.

Even more so due to the fact you're female, since robots aren't very... dimorphic.

Nefarious would be possessive as he feels you belong to him.

You aren't equal with him, you'll never be equal to him, but you're his.

The angst part would come in as obviously you want to go home.

You don't belong here and are fed foreign food you aren't even sure you can process.

Nefarious may be possessive and feels he owns you, but he also parades you around.

Due to the fact you're considered "exotic", he broadcasts you alongside himself.

He shows you off to others like he's showing off a puppy.

He gloats about the fact only he can have such a creature as you.

All while you're held up to the camera by your under arms.

Nefarious is controlling.

He'd leash you if he wanted, or sit you in his lap during his messages.

You're kept in a large cage, left there for his amusement.

I doubt he knows anything about affection, let alone love.

So all you really get is odd pets and being held.

Don't expect being kissed or anything, he probably doesn't even know what that means.

He always refers to you as 'pet', 'doll', 'human', 'girl', etc....

Even if he knows your name he rarely uses it.

You're meant for his entertainment... he loves the idea of breaking you.

You'd look so cute groveling at his feet.

He wants you to worship him, to declare him your master.

You won't be coming home until Ratchet and Rivet fix the dimensions.

Until then, you get to be a pet to a robotic Emperor.

You'll get to be his cute pet human... and there's no place for you to run.

Even if you escaped somehow, he has drones everywhere.

It's best you obey him, little human...

You're all his now... his pet, his human, his exotic girl.

Yandere Ratchet, Doctor Nefarious & Victor Von Ion (Platonic Scenario - "New Quartu Must Fall")

Warnings: Manipulative! Reader, Terrorism, Use of Firearms, Violence, Blood, Implied Death, Workplace Abuse (against the Blarg), Psychological Manipulation, Toxic Mindsets.

This is based on the 2016 film.

A.N. – This one is going in my vault at the end of the world.

When the hangar door opened, the skies turned a shade darker than the most violent storm. Droves of hulking objects poured from the aircraft like a murder of crows, slowly expanding the distance between one another and broadening their reach until they were a stygian net that descended upon Aleero City at a frightening velocity.

The sheen of polished metal reflected what meagre light bounced off the extravagant towers, and a cyclops-like red eye that was centred on the face of every invader observed where it intended to land.

Shrieks of terror erupted in the streets as hordes of citizens scrambled for taxis and morphed into roaming bands of fear and panic. As some challenged their stamina by endeavouring to cross the main bridge in a singular sprint, their haggard screams were silenced by the massive bodies of warbots.

Cracks formed in the ground where the robotic soldiers landed, and a blitzkrieg of energy bolts gushed into the crowds.

Explosions dotted the sides of multiple buildings, the rush of flames licking the air and broken glass as it was ejected from windows colliding with the public horror in a cacophony of disarray.

Multiple units in the first line of warbots dropped as the city garrison -- a team of robots gaunter than their hostile counterparts -- dashed from the safety of their fort with laser pistols firing.

The invasion was like an infestation of cockroaches sweeping across the wood foundation of an old house, and the gunfire that flaunted each colour of the rainbow converted it into an attack on the senses.

The rampant odour of smoke and sweat blended with heat so passionate it would curdle milk and draw the water right out of you. A gust of exhaust from the armoured machines was like sticking your face in a working oven, but the unmistakable scents of copper and iron that emitted from their scalding metal were not merely a product of their churning engines.

The stink of the assault poisoned the air, just like the blood dripping from their rims tainted the ground.

Then, as if a tremor were splitting the surface of the planet, a voice far too grave and stentorian to belong to any mortal man reverberated through the plaza. A metallic ring followed its last notes before the warbots ahead of you began sliding back and forth like a snake slithering in the grass.

The robot who had shoved and slashed his way to the front of the pack stood taller than any other, and attached to his forearms were a set of pellucid blades designed to cut through every material in the universe as if it were a spider's web.

"Stand back, citizen. The galaxy's greatest defenders are on the job." Qwark showed you the palm of his hand as he stepped forward and brandished dual pistols.

You vaguely blinked in his direction, mouth closed and shoulders relaxed.

Before the captain could land his first shot, a loud hiss echoed in the plaza and blasted a cloud of steam into the air. One of the garrison robots was knocked backwards onto the ground, and a lanky weapon that resembled a large spear tumbled from its hands.

A stout projectile rocketed towards the centre of the warbot army. The trail of smoke following it dissipated when the commander raised his left arm, slicing the missile down the middle. It exploded narrowly a second after the laser pierced its surface, but the robot was free of any dents and never so much as flinched.

If there had been room for doubts, it was scarcely available now. You examined Victor a moment longer -- your eyes meeting -- before venturing to the outskirts of the fight.

"Don't worry about us, citizen! Get to safety while we rewire these bots," called Qwark from the stairs to the citadel.

Your steps were deliberate and unconcerned, and you spared no glance at the rangers to confirm their success in battle.

The few warbots who lingered on the edges of the platforms marched past as if oblivious to your existence, some generating beeps or drones in a specific order that brought a smile to your face.

Path deviating to the heart of Aleero City, you beheld the myriad levels of traffic that clogged the airborne roads. Just as you had sat on a steel bench and looked towards the sky, a shower of fire and jagged bits of metal rained down upon the city.

A sonorous groan, like that of a whale's song, marked the descent of the warbot's spaceship. Its engines brimming with an inferno, the vessel combusted into multiple chunks that were incinerated by the loss of the reactor.

Gales of smoke and ash wafted to the skyline like an eternal storm.

The culprit behind this destruction glided overhead in a much smaller, homemade aircraft, a fact which drew you from your seat. Fists balling and eyes tailing their landing on the opposite side of the platform, you took a step closer to the edge.

Ratchet burst from the vessel with rapid yet tentative strides.

His ears were flattened to his head, and he outstretched his arms, palms upturned and wrists exposed as if attempting to tame a wild animal. "I know why you left!" The Lombax heaved a desperate pant, one infused with frustration and a hint of indignation. "But I can do better!"

Your feet neared the end of the platform. A quick glimpse below revealed the cloudy underbelly of Aleero City, a mass of fog that shrouded its seemingly bottomless depths.

"What are you -- no," demanded Ratchet. A robot the size of an infant ambled out of his aircraft with a look of perplexity, but it was replaced with surprise and uncertainty when he saw your position.

The distant hum of an engine that steadily grew louder prompted you to dangle your heels over the edge in a rocking motion. The Lombax clenched his teeth and narrowed his eyes, running at you with the urgency of someone fearful of losing their lifeline.

When he was halfway across the platform, you extended your arms on either side of yourself and fell rearwards out of sight.

Ratchet barely had a chance to release an anguished yell before a taxi soared from underneath the platform. It splintered the flow of traffic and ascended to the skyline, flying until it shrank into a speck. Before Clank could question his partner, the Lombax was clambering back into his vessel.

The robot followed him with a hurried, "Oh, my." Clank lowered his head and shook it as his CPU struggled to compute the Lombax's actions, registering them as fatuous and supportive of needless danger. "Ratchet, if I may, I fail to see how this detour will aid us in our mission."

The aircraft veered as the recruit jerked the steering wheel in a dour attempt to make it turn faster. "You don't understand, Clank!" He turned to the robot in an instant, outpouring a surplus of ire and waving his hands in a frantic quest for the desired words. "If they don't listen to me this time, I may never see them again!"

A fervid knock on the windshield impeded his chase from the beginning.

Mobs of citizens, all cheering and pleading for Ratchet's acknowledgement, swarmed the aircraft and prevented it from lifting off the ground unless the Lombax was willing to be dubbed a terrorist via destruction of the citizenry.

The strained face of Captain Qwark peered inside, and his eye twitched at the sight of the duo. Desperate to remain in the limelight, he pulled them to the lens of various cameras and raised them onto his palms.

* * *

The stairs to the command bridge meandered and winded like a labyrinthine maze. Adjacent walls formed a cordon around the rungs that blocked the two-tone light of the Deplanetizer's core from entering deeper than a few harmonious strips of yellow and blue.

Victor had started to ascend the staircase, but after determining what a physically demanding ordeal reaching the top would be, the warbot offered a piggyback ride. Bursts of anger strengthened each step, his feet clapping the metal floor and producing a clang that echoed in the lower levels of the Deplanetizer.

You noted the generous length of the stairs and their isolation from the prying eyes of Blarg who preferred the elevators.

A lanky silhouette ambled past the top in the direction of the bridge, whirling to the sound of Victor's rusty joints breaching the corridor.

Nefarious quickened his pace to a brisk walk. Hands clasped together and eyes wide with excitement, he maneuvered around Victor to face you. "I trust my message was well-received?"

You hopped down, looking askance at the scientist as he cocked an eye at Victor for your original position. "Timely." The lieutenant met his gaze, slowly turned his head away, and shook his shoulders to detach a fresh layer of dust that had fallen from the ceiling.

The broad door to Drek's office opened, and a rhythmic vibration reverberated through the corridor. Standing on his red scooter, which levitated from anti-gravity boosters, the chairman drifted towards his bodyguard. "Victor. Battle report?"

Hanging his head, Victor kept his gaze on the floor. "I'm sorry, sir. The invasion didn't go as planned."

Drek threw his hands into the air in an apparent surplus of amusement. "Well, isn't that the understatement of the eon?" He had raised a finger and taken a breath to launch into a tirade when a sudden hesitancy fell over him, twiddling his black tie and glancing in your direction. "We will continue this discussion in my office."

As Nefarious looked at you and began to suggest a visit to his laboratory, the chairman, as if sensing his eagerness, added, "You too, Doctor!" A disappointed and mildly surprised grunt escaped the scientist before he joined Victor in observing the sheets of metal that formed the ground.

Before following his boss, the lieutenant eyed a Blarg who was exiting the lounge.

The Blarg wilted as he stared into the bright eyes of the warbot commander, his tongue dry and his throat parched.

Victor tightened his jaw and leaned closer with a baleful intensity that said he would crush a man's skull like an egg and walk away with pride. "Guard them."

Nodding his head in vigorous submission, the Blarg exposed his spiny teeth.

The lieutenant narrowed his eyes to slits and released a dissatisfied groan. A massive hand enveloped the top of the Blarg's head, and the expectation of immediate death pulled a whimper from the small humanoid before he was turned towards you.

"Guard," repeated Victor, pushing him forward and watching his movement like an emotionally distant teacher.

While the warbot marched through the door to Drek's office with pointed and purposeful steps, Nefarious idled in the corridor for another moment. "For your sake, I hope you understand the importance of this assignment."

A menacing smile that promised hours of agony spread across Nefarious's countenance, the scientist pressing his fingers together and drawing them towards his chin as if praying for the opportunity to correct a potential failure.

Once the door closed, dread and uncertainty crashed upon the Blarg like vicious waves dragging swimmers out to sea. The humanoid toiled in mental collapse until he looked to his side to find you peeking at his cellphone.

"Could I borrow that?"

Sentiment lingered in your words, a tepid kind that had to be contemplated and generated like a performance rather than drawn from any innate affection or concern for your life. After inspecting the message for glaring flaws multiple times, you sent it and handed the phone back to its owner.

The Blarg received the device as if unsure whether it was his or not anymore. When you strolled towards the lounge with a chipper 'thanks', the soldier was overcome by a burning desire to look down at the screen.

You never bothered to tell him not to snoop, but as bombastic laughter from Drek's office reverberated through the corridor, he erased the conversation history and scurried to follow. "Please don't wander too far!"

Everything about the request -- the desperate politeness, his reluctance to speak at a higher volume that might startle or annoy -- was designed to appease you. "I need this job," mumbled the Blarg, his voice dropping to an anxious whisper that suggested he feared for more than a loss of employment.

Lips pursed and fingers quivering, Elaris slowly opened the door to the war room. The muffled yells that had been reverberating through the walls of the Galactic Ranger headquarters for the past hour swelled to furious roars.

The technician had begun to stick her head through the crack when an airborne chair collided with the door, slamming a dent into its metal surface and bouncing to the floor.

"Drek could space my friend at any second!" Ratchet jabbed a finger towards Qwark and bared his teeth. Drawing his ears against the sides of his head and bending his knees as if to pounce, the Lombax imitated an angry cat -- hackles raised and fur bristling.

The captain, his hands on his hips, shook his head and stood tall. "The fate of the galaxy is more than one person."

A glimmer of shock prompted Ratchet's fury to waver for an instant. His finger drooped, and his eyes widened in total rejection of the concept. The wrath shaking his limbs was renewed, this time a steadfast and deathly passionate determination. "That one person is worth the galaxy to me."

Qwark opened his mouth but soon closed it tightly. He seemed to acknowledge Ratchet for the first time as if the Lombax had only entered the conversation just then. Eyes narrowing with umbrage and lasting spite, the captain loomed above Ratchet. "Your rescue mission can wait! I'm in charge of saving the galaxy—"

Elaris glared downwards and muttered, "We are."

"—and I'm not about to risk my entire career for your pal." He pronounced the final two words like a disgusted child teasing their classmate, which evoked a growl of frustration from Ratchet.

"How can you call yourself a hero and be afraid of a few lasers?" The Lombax balled his fists and whirled around to face the door. "If you don't have the guts to walk through the line of fire, I will."

As he stormed out of the room in a flurry of obscene grumbles, the technician hurried to step back.

Extending an arm after him, Qwark pointed to the doorway. "Recruit, if you leave this base, consider yourself a rogue agent!" His threat was overpowered by the rumble of a distant engine whirring to life.

Clank watched as Ratchet stood beside the front of his spaceship, taking an inventory of his weapon locker. The Lombax summoned and despawned a series of pistols and a giant wrench before he beckoned the small robot to accompany him.

"Come on, Clank. If the Rangers won't help us, we're boarding that ship ourselves."

* * *

After Qwark arrived, you could no longer enjoy the silence and solitude of the lounge. If the captain had not ordered a team of Blarg to pamper him with sweets and massages, he was peering from across the room like a man trapped in a liminal space.

Your daily treks through areas of the Deplanetizer that would earn him a pistol aimed at his head and casual chats with intergalactic terrorists who seemed far too interested in hearing your opinion on sensitive matters disagreed with his idea of a prisoner.

"Quite the gilded cage you have here," mustered Qwark shortly before Novalis's destruction. "You know, when I was a captive of the Blarg, they poked me with sticks and tried to feed me to their Broodmother."

As your eyes narrowed in averse disbelief, he flicked his wrist as if nullifying the memory. "Maybe that was the Tyhrranoids. Bah, all those mongrels blur together nowadays."

It was during these periods of unwarranted storytime that the escape shuttles became a frequent visitor to your thoughts. Once an unremarkable quality of the Deplanetizer that was often passed without notice like a portrait on the wall of your home of many years, the hangar now earned a slot in your daily strolls.

Nefarious had stolen an entire day to explain the logistics of travelling from one end of the star system to the other, although the level of detail and willingness of his answers gradually lessened as your questions grew more specific.

When you collapsed on the floor of his laboratory, lips split and purple blotches dotting various parts of your arms, he released a scream louder than any you had ever heard before.

It nearly pulled you to your feet, but the Blarg assigned by Victor did it for you. He grasped your shoulder and torso, legs shuddering while you drooped over his pointed head.

"I ... I don't know what happened! We were walking near the bridge and—" all faith in his ability to see tomorrow was shattered as the scientist yanked him away.

"Let go of them!" shrieked Nefarious, taking the Blarg's place as your support and leading you to his operating table.

The chair stank of cleaning supplies and pungent chemicals. A horizontal wave of light flashed in your eyes, and the sound of rapid typing on a computer keyboard filled the room.

"That's impossible. My sensors—" a look of cold realisation crossed his face. It twisted with rage as he clenched his teeth, and when he turned away from the computer, the Blarg was robbed of the ability to speak.

Bafflement fading into condemnation at having found a suitable victim, his voice rose to a degrading shriek. "You were supposed to be guarding them!"

Before the sentry could force an excuse from his quivering lips, Nefarious was marching across the room and a green outline had begun to envelop his raised hand.

The Blarg imagined every invention the doctor had flaunted, each one designed to exacerbate pain and cause suffering in all manner of creatively demented ways.

A whoosh from the entrance interrupted the grotesque display of ingenuity, and an uneasy Qwark ambled inside. He tapped his index fingers together like a child desperate to avoid sharing the truth. "Nefarious, have you seen—"

The introduction of the former ranger elicited a whirlwind of ire and blame as the vagaries of a rivalry that had long simmered like a scalding teapot were inflamed with a new motive.

"Qwark," growled the scientist, his voice oozing malice as if it were venom trickling down a snake's fangs. "This was your dirty work, wasn't it?!" He pointed a spindly finger at your bruises.

Qwark stuttered in his attempt to plead innocent, and this weakness drew an agitated cry from Nefarious. After a shaky chuckle and a flutter of his eyes in your direction that prompted the scientist to ball his fists, the words tumbled from the captain's mouth like stones resisting the flow of the current. "I would never manhandle a civilian."

Eyes crinkling in mild bewilderment, Nefarious started to protest, "They're not a—" before his rage seemed to fizzle. He bumped his forehead with his wrist and turned to you in a moment of distraught awareness. "This is why you kept asking all those questions! You were trying to run away from someone!"

You said nothing, but the doctor slowly looked back at Qwark.

A blue and green weapon with yellow highlights materialised in his hands. It sported a cylindrical nozzle, which began to spin and produce vibrant bolts of green plasma.

As a whirr steadily increased in pitch and volume to vibrate your ears in an irritating sensation, Qwark offered a wave goodbye and sprinted out of the laboratory.

Nefarious pursued with a feral howl that savoured each word. "I'm going to annihilate you!"

The Blarg, who had moved to stand beside you, twiddled his fingers. "Uh, should we warn Chairman Drek?"

You hopped to the floor and patted him on his head, walking to the door with only a slight limp. "You're relieved of service."

The Blarg -- after a startled grunt -- shook his head and scrambled after you with hurried and clumsy steps. He latched onto the edge of the door, peeking at your descent into the corridor as if fearing the return of Nefarious or the arrival of Victor. "I really don't think I am!"

When you neared the entrance to the hangar, the Blarg flailed his arms and dashed after you. "Wait, please don't go that far!"

On the command bridge, Drek held a tablet that displayed a poster for New Quartu. A family of Blarg raised their hands to wave at the camera, their happiness a testament to the patchwork planet floating in the background. "What do you think, Victor? Should the fjords go beside the monument or behind it?"

Victor examined the screen as if he were a toddler reading a dictionary. The warbot had gathered the semblance of an answer when a strangled cry at the door provided a welcome distraction.

Arms outstretched in front of himself, Qwark scurried behind Victor and curved his back forward to appear smaller. The lieutenant spun around, and he shoved Qwark with a stern, "Go away."

Swift and agitated footsteps entered the bridge a moment later, gradually slowing as they reached the trio. Nefarious struggled to be still between the many pants and snorts rattling his upper body.

The RYNO was droning like a broken sound system, strips of plasma lashing the floor and leaving black streaks of charred metal. He lurched from side to side and attempted to aim around Victor. "Show your wretched face, Qwark. So I can blast it off you!"

Drek gaped at the ruined pieces of flooring and waved a hand at the invention. "Doctor, put that away!"

The scientist looked at him with an incredulous "eh" as if the fact that the chairman was present had escaped him, but his expression quickly sank into that of a sulky child.

"That brute deserves what's coming to him! He beat my lab assistant!" Nefarious pushed the weapon towards Qwark.

A startled "huh" burst from Victor, and he glanced around the room as if hoping to see you in perfect health. The massive thuds that followed each step as he sprinted into the corridor shook the floor. Spotting the entrance to Nefarious's laboratory, he stomped inside to find scarce traces of blood.

The doorframe, a structure that comprised some of the most resilient metals in the galaxy, was crushed beneath the force of his hand.

Having lost his shield, Qwark crouched behind Drek. The chairman peeked over his shoulder with frantic annoyance and looked at the charging weapon -- which now pointed at him -- with a hint of fear.

Eyes wild and teeth clenched, Drek propped himself on the handlebars of his scooter. "I won't have that contraption tearing up my ship! Now, get rid of it!"

The doctor slightly lowered the RYNO. His eyes widened, and the scowl that had wrinkled his face reduced to a frown. As his gaze proceeded to drop until it found one of the cockpits, he despawned the weapon.

Engine humming to a stop beside Nefarious, Drek rested a hand on his shoulder. "Now, Neffie—" the scientist retreated from his touch with a displeased grunt "—let's not vaporize our friend before I have a chance to hear his side of the story."

Nefarious waved his arms in a childish expression of dissent. "I wasn't going to vaporize him!" Teeth bared in a wide smile that reeked of deathly threats and eyes broadening with vicious anticipation, his face contorted into the picture of unsound malevolence. "I was going to make him beg for an end as quick as vaporization."

The chairman raised his fists and shook his shoulders with exaggerated joy, imitating a cheerleader after their team scored. "Oh, how scary!" He flashed Qwark a look of poise that one might expect from a politician addressing a horde of reporters, but his internal apprehension revealed itself when he outstretched an arm to deter the scientist from lunging at the captain. "I trust you have a rebuttal?"

The door to the bridge opened in a rapid, forceful motion that echoed the fervid hostility of its user. An elephantine silhouette occupied a third of the doorway and stood before the sparking core of the Deplanetizer, its aquamarine and lemon whips of electricity illuminating his rusty body.

"No more talk," commanded a gravelly voice thick with animosity.

Hefty, metallic footsteps -- each one accompanied by a whirr of his hinges -- stormed into the room and gained speed like a charging bull.

Victor slammed his fist into the palm of his other hand, generating a brassy sound that resembled a compactor smashing a car. He brought the serrated piece of metal that comprised his jaw towards his yellow eyes to accentuate his massive underbite.

A brief look of alarm crossed Nefarious's face, and he had begun to leap to safety when a cruel notion drew his gaze to Qwark. He crossed his arms behind his back and took a casual step to the side of the captain, allowing Victor free reach.

Qwark was the target of the warbot's wrath, and the former ranger observed his approach with a mixture of uncertainty and aversion.

Tone evolving from a stern declaration into an acrid roar, Victor pointed a finger at him and hunched forward to meet his eye level. "I'm gonna spin your head like a corkscrew!" His eyes glowed with hateful intent, a rage that stalled only as Drek zoomed in front of him and placed both hands on his armoured torso.

"Woah!" exclaimed the chairman, less like a friend soothing his comrade and more like an owner attempting to placate his aggressive dog. "Victor, buddy! What's got you so hot under the circuitry?"

The lieutenant stood upright and clenched his fists at his side.

Looking up at Qwark with unadulterated contempt, Nefarious tattoed the floor with his foot and pulled his arms towards his chest. "Someone laid their squalid hands on my lab assistant!"

Qwark, as if this exonerated him, rested his knuckles on his hips and offered a look of smug contentment. "Ah, see? 'Someone' is the culprit, and I'm not someone." The nightmarishly awful logic of his argument elicited such a powerful rage in Nefarious that his next words spilled forth without the capacity to be stopped.

"You witless, feeble-minded imbecile!" shrieked the scientist, rancour and antipathy gushing from his violent hand gestures and frantic pacing like a dam bursting. Some of it was a fledgling ire, but much of it was a multi-year horde of wrath that teetered on the edge of its threshold.

After an unimpressed eye roll that carried his gaze from the tall ceiling to the adjacent cockpit, Qwark looked at his former teammate with vexed boredom. "I don't know what half those words mean—" he leaned forward and rocked his head from side to side "—but I didn't touch your precious assistant."

Whether it was the ill-timed mention of you or his refusal to accept the guilt that the scientist had bestowed upon him with malicious passion, Nefarious met the captain with the face of someone who dreamt their enemy's death. "One day, Qwark. One day, you'll wish you weren't such a heavy sleeper."

Qwark channelled the bewildered innocence of a confused child as the threat glided over his understanding like a jet.

Nefarious shook his head with a malcontent grumble and began marching to the door.

Victor crinkled his eyes and slightly opened his mouth, a deep and slow chuckle reverberating from within his circuits.

Drek peered at his bodyguard with the astute humour of the only straight face in a herd of guffaws. "Oh, really, Victor? Could we be a bit more discreet?" As Nefarious passed him, Drek attempted to pat him on the back. "There's no need for such extremes. I'm sure someone will come around."

The scientist knocked his arm away and spun with frenzied eyes and bared teeth. "No! I won't build another robot until one of you confesses!"

At this, the chairman's lackadaisical decorum vanished. Usurping it was a look of sharp dissatisfaction, but the contempt that was oozing from Nefarious like a pestilent cloud was undeterred.

Crossing his arms, Qwark shifted his weight and watched his former teammate through suspicious eyes. "How do we know you're not trying to take the heat off yourself?"

Nefarious, who had been muttering and stamping his way to the exit, came to an abrupt stop.

The Blarg standing beside the captain turned a lighter shade of orange and scurried away with a panicked whimper.

Drek closed his eyes in silent acknowledgement of the impending disaster, a gradual sigh blowing past his lips.

A flash of purple light was Qwark's sole warning to move before an explosion scorched his original position.

"How dare you accuse me of such impurity?!" The scream echoed in the bridge as if it had travelled through every corner of the galaxy to pierce the captain's ears.

A barrage of purple plasma bathed the room in a violet hue and chased the fleeing shape of Qwark, assailing the walls and each splash of metal that the former ranger encountered with scalding heat.

The attacks were condensed into spherical masses of raw energy that were roughly the size of a basketball but hit with the force of a miniature supernova.

As Qwark endeavoured to shield his gargantuan physique behind a scrawny Blarg, Nefarious squeezed the handles of his weapon. Its barrel, which had a honeycomb pattern and metal flaps that unfolded like a blooming flower, discharged a ball of plasma so potent that Drek was forced to look away lest he risked blindness.

Victor kneeled behind the chairman and slung an arm in front of his face to block the light, but the warbot's steely gaze, immune to the brilliant glow, watched with ardent anticipation.

The smoky odour of barbecue pervaded the bridge.

Limbs convulsing and tongue protruding from his mouth, the Blarg collapsed into the rear cockpit with a harsh thud. His skin, no longer like saffron, was crusty and dark as the midnight zone of the ocean. Incomprehensible groans slipped from his paralyzed lips, and his wide eyes stared ahead with unmeasurable distance.

Shell-shocked and quivering, the other Blarg in the cockpit observed their comrade with the crippling terror that they would be next.

Nefarious scanned the area for any sign of Qwark and had started to huff when he spotted the captain slinking towards the door. A shout of alarm escaped Qwark, a sound that intensified when the scientist began launching another volley of plasma in his direction.

The balmy cackle that had ventured to ascend Nefarious's throat was interrupted by a yell from Drek.

"Victor, put a stop to this!" The chairman had examined the multitude of cracks and scars threatening the integrity of the Deplanetizer, sending the lieutenant to Nefarious with an agitated point of his finger.

The rapid approach of heavy footsteps spurred the scientist to whirl around, and a startled cry burst from him when his weapon was seized. Victor held it above his head and applied just enough pressure to show that he could crush it like a twig.

Nefarious looked between the warbot and his invention as if it were his child, unable to conceal the hint of intimidation eroding his rage.

After dipping his head and glowering at the lieutenant through the roof of his gaze, the scientist blinked when Victor narrowed his eyes. The two continued to observe each other as if speaking without words before Nefarious spun on his heels and marched out of the bridge.

The warbot loosened his shoulders and allowed the weapon to despawn.

Qwark kept his head slightly turned to the ceiling, and once the sound of the doctor's footsteps vanished, he approached the chairman. "Forgive me, Drek. I knew Nefarious was mad, but I haven't seen him this loony since the atomisation incident."

Drek pressed his fingers together and offered a frazzled nod of his head. "Oh, it's quite all right. We'll just get a few cleanup crews here—" he motioned to a black stain on the windshield "—and there." His face shrivelled in horrid disgust at the sight of the charred, twitching Blarg lying supine in the nearest cockpit.

It seemed to steal his words from him until he took a cautious breath and rested a hand on his tie.

"But in the future, would you kindly—" the chairman whipped around and intensified his voice to a guttural yell "—refrain from assaulting anyone else on my ship?!" Drek clenched his teeth as his shoulders rose and fell with the wild pants heaving his chest, hands squeezing the leather grips on his scooter like stress balls.

The accusation drew a gasp of outrage from the captain.

Eyes narrowing and mouth deepening into a straight line, Qwark took an indignant step forward and pointed to the floor as a testament to his honesty. "I never laid a finger on that civilian!" His persistence in asserting his integrity tested Drek's volatile patience, and the Blarg slammed his palms against the handlebars of his scooter.

"Someone did!" A twinge of incredulous humour entered his voice as if the situation was so fantastical to him that he struggled to believe it was happening. "And until we find out who, New Quartu is deadlocked!"

As Qwark looked at him like he had torn his skin off to reveal cybernetic innards, the chairman attempted to reclaim his composure.

"Excuse me," he conceded with a vapid smile that portrayed no sincerity. "The fact of the matter is, I can't have my entire project shutting down every time the two of you are in a room together."

After gesturing to the spacious interior of the Deplanetizer, he tilted his fingertips towards Qwark. "You understand, don't you?" Qwark had opened his mouth to respond, but Drek continued. "And Neffie -- well, whenever he has one of his little fits, it takes forever to get him out of it."

Despite speaking with the fatigue of a tired parent, the chairman conveyed nothing but annoyance at the inconvenience. His referral to a malignant rampage that nearly cost the lives of everyone on the bridge as a tantrum unsettled Qwark, and Qwark waved a hand in front of himself in a show of defiance.

"I am not apologizing to that ... that fiend!"

Drek pointed his palms at the captain in mock fear of his action, eyes widening and lips curling into an expression of confidence in his forethought. "Who said anything about apologies?" His arms draped over the handlebars like someone rewatching a movie in a crowd of newcomers. "If you show your face again, he'll probably shoot you."

When the chairman began riding in the direction of the Star Cracker water cooler, periodic hums emitted from his scooter. "And, Captain?" Blue and yellow light poured onto Drek as the door opened with a hiss, the lackadaisical tone of his voice reverberating through the bridge. "I doubt he'd miss a second time."

The bridge was plunged into merlot-red hues, and a descending hum reverberated through the Deplanetizer for several seconds. "Sir," piped a Blarg standing in one of the rear cockpits, "we have a bogey rapidly approaching the Deplanetizer."

Drek reversed out of the doorway and spun around to peer into the endless abyss of outer space. "Engage all defence mechanisms!"

Doors slammed shut throughout the space station, sending herds of Blarg running to various controls and erupting in frenzied murmurs of button combinations.

Alarms whooped in every room and flashed rotating strings of light onto the sweaty and pallid faces of Blarg.

As Qwark stared through the windshield with a dreadful idea of the pilot, he turned his head at Drek's shout.

"I suggest you return to your quarters, Captain." The chairman called for Victor and glided to the front of the bridge.

Before Qwark could ignore his warning, an enraged scream echoed from Nefarious's laboratory. Glass shattered in torrents as the scientist dragged his arms across tables of vials and threw beakers against the wall, and a boom spawned a cloud of smoke around the locked door.

The sound of sizzling -- like meat cooking on a grill -- popped in the corridor.

The door, starting from the centre and expanding outwards, dissolved into puddles of molten metal. Nefarious stepped through, dripping with chemicals that would burn the average person from the inside out. Parts of his lavender suit were steaming.

In the hangar, the Blarg tugged your arm to prevent you from reaching the escape shuttle. "If you leave, they'll kill me!" Tears began to leak from his eyes, and you turned away with a perturbed grunt. "Please! I don't want to die!"

Your inability to grip the edge of the shuttle pushed your tolerance to its end. "If you have so much to live for—" the Blarg squealed when you whipped around, clutched his shoulders and tossed him into the spacecraft "—then get in!"

As you slammed a fist into the hangar door control, it revealed a small spaceship flying in your direction.

A Blarg looked up from his computer screen and cried at Drek, "Sir, the hangar door is opening!"

The chairman turned to face him with a strained smile that implied he was one catastrophe away from an emotional meltdown. "Let's shut it, then!" He returned his attention to the star system outside his window and bellowed, "Zed!"

The small, legless robot floated to the main control panel in front of Drek, raising a finger in acknowledgment of the order and pressing the respective button with his other hand. "On it, sir!"

You had begun to climb into the escape shuttle when a metallic creak marked the hangar door's reverse of your progress and its descent back towards the ground. The spacecraft grew larger by the second until you recognized the blue paint, and it was aiming to land on top of the shuttle.

Grabbing the Blarg, you dove behind a pile of crates in the corner of the room.

A screech of metal scraping metal reverberated through the hangar as the spacecraft zoomed between the door and the floor just before the crack closed. Flurries of sparks rained down the walls, and the engine quieted near the entrance.

Peeking out from the crates and holding your hand against the whimpering Blarg's mouth, you crinkled your eyes at the Lombax and small robot jumping from the pilot seat.

Fingers slowing to an occasional push of a button, a Blarg positioned at one of the North cockpits watched the radar screen as if hoping it would change or report a malfunction. When another spin of the sensors yielded identical results, he lifted his head towards Drek.

"Chairman, we have three more bogeys approaching fast. All flying Ranger colours."

My Favorite Video Games

Well, turns out I’m remembering a fair amount of things I like this week. It seems that I’d forgotten a game that I’d really loved but had forgotten, so now I’m making another list for myself. Of course this could also be recs since if they’re my favorite then I’d certainly recommend them to others. This will almost certainly be added on to as I find new games that I like or remember ones I’d forgotten to put on here. Also, if you think I’d like a game based off the ones you see I like here, feel free to let me know. I’d love to check them out. :) One more thing. If I put ones at the top it doesn’t mean I like them more than the others, they’re just the ones I thought of first. So, here we are.

Gunvolt The Last Guardian Fire Emblem: Awakening The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess SOMA Fossil Fighters Paraworld Okamiden The Last of Us Pokemon (normal games, Conquest, & Mystery Dungeon) Horizon: Zero Dawn Detroit: Become Human Ratchet and Clank (before the reboot) Starfox Adventures Transistor Spyro: A New Beginning Off Subnautica Alien: Isolation Titanfall 2 Halo series Battlefield 1 Evolve Zoo Tycoon 2 INSIDE Castle Crashers DOOM Yandere Simulator Firewatch SUPERHOT Undertale Rainbow Six: Siege Until Dawn Dishonored Don’t Starve The Sims The Wolf Among Us Shelter 1 & 2 Niche Dead Space series The Witch’s House Ib To The Moon Mad Father Corpse Party Ever Oasis Cardinal Cross Ascension Equilinox

Angels with Scaly Wings

(PS There are a fair number of these that I haven’t actually played myself, be it because I don’t have the console or don’t have the money. So those ones I’ve watch lets plays of. There are a few that I’ve at least played the demos of though or I had a friend that let me briefly play it. There are also a few games that I didn’t put on here because I have not finished watching their lets plays so I am unsure if I’d put them up here yet or not. Also, please note that for anything, including games, the thing i value the most is story. Most of these games have stories that I like so they made it on this list. There are a few that are an exception to that for one reason or another.)

Top 10 Reasons Not to Support the Developer of Yandere Simulator (Yandere Dev/EvaXephon/Alex Mahan)

Yandere Simulator: A game with a good idea but with a very corrupt developer. Yandere Dev/Alex has become a epicenter of controversy ever since people discovered all of his dark secrets, causing him to lose supporters left and right and this list is dedicated to alerting people about his twisted personality and why people should NOT Support him.

And also because my previous list on this subject got taken down on thetoptens.com by a snob-nosed, dick-sucking, twat, I'm going to remake it with even more evidence again that little shit-licker’s master!

1. Yandere Simulator is a Revenge Act Against High School Girls Who Rejected Him

This is not only the biggest reason as to why Yandere Dev sucks but it also coexists with several other things on this list. Back in Alex's high school days he was constantly trying to get with several high school girls but ultimately got rejected - for obvious reasons. And so when Alex made Yandere Simulator - a game about slaughtering girls as a whole, he can feel like he's getting revenge on them by killing them in brutal, painful and horrendous ways. Disgusting! And because the male Senpai in the game is a self-insert of Alex and he made him so "perfect and flawless" and has a lot of busty, mindless girls swooning over him, Alex gets of recreate what he thinks his life in school "should've been". Alex if you are reading this: leave the internet for good!

2. He is a Pedophile

Is there any limitation as to how low this a-hole can sink?! Anyways there is a TON of evidence that point towards his pedophilia like in his cesspool of a game in where even though it takes place at a high school you get to look up girl's skirts, take pictures and sell them and Alex is planning to make it possible to get female students in his game get kidnapped and sold off to sex slavery! Theres also a pedophile teacher who's name is literally "indecent" in Japanese who is after your crush and on top of that nearly all of the girls in the game have unnaturally large breasts, some of them have boobs bigger than their heads. And when people called Alex out on this he said that all of the students are 18 years old, but really there are other grades in high school - four to be exact - and the age gap in practically all high schools is ages 15-18 on average. He only likes girls with large breasts as he once said "Does she have big breasts? Then why should I care?". He should be more worried about what women can do with their fists and feet if they get anywhere him if he keeps this up. He's also been having disturbing affairs with underaged girls as young as 14 years old and he knows that they're too young for him despite the fact that he says "he didn't know", he asked her for nudes and Alex even tried to defend pedophilia by calling it "a sexual orientation". He also hires a lot of former hentai artists like kjach to draw extremely perverted drawing of his characters and one of them has Iyano (you ready for this) getting raped by a dog. (face palm) And of coarse we can't forget about his "lovely" fan fictions. One of them being called "I Am Your Slave" which is about a submissive, dumb, woman who is a slave and is happy to be so - Alex's type of girl, and the other is "Life of a Sex Slave" which is about a woman who grew up as a sex slave and only knows how to live as one. I swear Alex here is making the Twilight and Fifty Shades of Gray books look like masterpieces and I thought that was impossible! There’s just no hope for this guy, he is just gone.

3. He Can't Handle Criticism

As we all probably know, when someone becomes an artist and no matter how well we do we can't exactly please everybody. And what normally separates a good artist from a bad one aside from their work is their ability to accept criticism and Yandere Dev/Alex is NOT one of them. He has attacked several people including my own sister for leaving anything other than praise or most especially: sad but true facts about his poorly made game that frankly deserve all the criticism he gets. If he finds anything on the internet directed towards him that isn't mindless praising he goes down the Donald Scum route and attacks the commenter, and he will ban anyone form his streams about his hilariously bad gameplay skills that don't praise him like a god. He often makes really lame replys like "You dirty SJW!"(real mature and clever) like what he said to my sister one time. But other times he sinks lower than that, a good example is when Yandere Dev banned a mod called the "Size Mod" from his game which allowed you to change Yandere-chan's height and a lot of fans downloaded it but some emailed Yandere Dev instead of the original creator, and Alex called the mod "stupid" and Stickman - a Youtuber who downloaded it told him that was very disrespectful and he told Alex to fu*k off to which then Alex replied by saying "No, you can fu*k off, go stick your dick in a beehive" I don't think he even came up with that insult himself and besides at least Stickman has a real dick! He attacks Kiwifarms.net a lot for telling the truth and there was this artist who used to be a fan of Yandere Simulator who goes by the username of "swoomzie" on PrettyUglyLittleLiar.net who used to draw fan art for Alex's game until she heard about how he loves to steal artwork for his game (Look at "He Constantly Steals From Other Source Materials" for examples) and when she confronted Alex about this and asked him to sign a contract with her to make sure she gets credited for her artwork, he got offended, called her rude and didn't what to work with her anymore. And when people criticized Ayano for being an emotionless plank of wood - same with her Senpai, Alex admitted that he didn't want to give her a personality because he was afraid that he would be criticized for giving her a specific personality. So basically he just admitted that he can't handle criticism and he seriously thinks that giving a character no personality is better than some personality? Why do you think everyone likes Yuno from Future Diary - the most famous Yandere of all time or - who a few people like - male yandere: Damiya from Beast Player Erin? It's because they have a ton of personality, same with virtually every character in Marvel, DC, Persona, Metal Gear Solid, Prince of Persia, Ratchet and Clank, the Tales games and the superhero megaseries that I'm working on myself. And finally another great example is when the original creator of Stop Yandere Dev on Tumblr who was an autistic (no insult) woman called out Alex and pointed out a lot of dark facts about him and Alex found out about this and called her an autistic b**ch. Yeah well f**k you Alex, you ugly, pasty Linguini look-alike! Anyone who uses autism as a slur for "stupid, retarded, freak" or whatever don't deserve to live, because thats talking down to a group of people with a slight mental abnormality. Most autistic people have a sensitivity to loud noises and bright lights and may experience reoccurring daydreaming, but they often have a higher IQ than the average person, are very creative and have a few different ways of learning and I should know because I'm autistic and I'm anything but stupid! I'm one of the highest graded students in the schools I went to and I'm doing a great job at designing my own series mostly because I don't rip off everything I like and I don't throw an Alex Mahan temper tantrum whenever something doesn't go my way or when I receive something thats less than praising. If you can't handle criticism, than you should stay away from doing anything on the internet but try telling that to someone who's whole life is the internet.

4. He is a Misogynist

Speaking on how he goes against what SJWs stand for he does not know how to treat or even cares about women in the slightest. For starters a vast majority of the girls in his game are oversexualized with massive breasts and are about as dumb as the guy looking down on them (Alex Mahan) and he loves to hire former hentai artists like kjech to draw the most disgusting, pedophiliac pictures of his characters and they are disgusting and unnatural to say the least. And he goes even further with his sexism to where he will pretty much call any girl he doesn't like a b**ch. He writes rape fan fictions like "I Am Your Slave" and "Life of a Sex Slave" and they're about downright stupid, submissive girls who Alex, Trump, the GOP and every deplorable degenerate loves! Plus the man in I Am Your Slave is an insert of Yandere Dev. His deplorable fan fictions make Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey look like Hunger Games and Shakespeare and I though that was impossible! Also he once said that he hasn't interacted with a woman in real life aside of his mom in over a year, gee I wonder why. Maybe it's because he does not know how to treat them properly and that he groups them based on breast size and good looks (Just like the evil orange he likes: Donald Scum) rather than personality, interests, intelligence, skills, social skills?! And that he considers flat-chested women to be deformed and not deserving of his worthless attention? He often slut-shames any woman who talks down to him and anyone who's "not good enough for him", after all he did say one time: "Does she have big breasts? Then why should I care?", DEGENERATE! Now I like hot and beautiful women too and I do admit that I like look at hot girls on the internet and would love to marry a beautiful lady one day, but I draw the line in the sand when it comes to his porn or hentai and I stay away from it. Plus I'm a strong supporter of women's rights and if a marry someone I want her to have some pride in herself and have a good personality as a whole like how all girls should be. If I found someone with the most perfect body but is anything like the women Alex writes in disgusting fan fictions than no thank you! And need I remind you that the female human species is just as important as us men, without one or the other there is no us, so why not treat them with dignity and respect just like how men have been getting it for several centuries? But of coarse the abomination know as Yan Dev who probably couldn't care less about women's rights if it meant saving his own skin just wants to see them as male accessories rather than real people. Screw you Alex, you sexist Trump-spawn!

5. He Constantly Steals Form Other Source Materials

Despite the fact that he mostly has volunteers working on his game that he doesn't pay, he still manages to rip off content after content from other game designers, video games, anime/cartoon shows etc. He likes to pleasure himself by watching, searching on the internet or playing something instead of working on his game and as soon as he sees something he likes, he'll take it, claim ownership and not credit or even mention the original artist. And even when we expose of him for it (like I've said on "He's a Liar") he'll say "It's just a place holder" TRANSLATION: "It's mine now suckers!" He just thinks that if he makes some slight adjustments like changing the color in one or two places, that automatically makes it his, if you get inspiration from somewhere, change about 50% of it so that way: 1. it can't be a rip off and 2. you show respect to the original artist/s. Like what I do for my own franchises! Examples of what he stole: - He stole Doug Clayton's grass texture 3 times! - He's stolen a lot of lines from Undertale. - Like I've said before on "His Characters are Horribly Designed" most of the characters are stolen Unity Store assets. - There's a character named "Fureddo Jonzu" (Fred Jones from Scooby Doo) - let me cry for you. - A lot of the hairstyles are stolen MMD assets. - A lot of the environments in the game are stolen like the gymnasium, the classrooms, the town outside the school, Iyano's bedroom and a few others. - The character "Nemesis-chan" was completely copy-pasted form someone else's work. - He stole a lot of assassination mechanics from Hitman. - He's planning to steal a lot of content from Persona 5 - a game from a critically-praised series with some of the best, most creative and most well-written characters of any game series! Honestly I'm highly surprised that no one has sued his sorry ass yet, if someone did though Alex probably won't be able to live with his parents anymore, and I'm okay with that.

6. Some of His Fans are a Basket of Deplorables

Of course I'm not saying that all of Yan Dev's fans are bad, in fact - most of them are innocent people who just find his game fun and that's that and even if they are aware of all the stuff that we say about him or even know that it's true they still show some dignity to us and just want to have some fun times with Yandere Simulator. But a minority of his fans are just disgusting deplorables that just have to say the most vile, bigotry, bullcrap in existence just because we have a negative view of Yan Dev and his games. And a lot of those particular fans are so loyal and submissive they will follow Alex all the way to hell and to which I hope they do because like I said: they're attack dogs ready to pounce at the first negative comment about Yan Dev they see. The best example on this is what one low-life commented on Oni's Tumblr page "Stop Yandere Dev" and that particular abomination said: "Should I get a penis for "Oni" on her birthday? She seems to really want one. Just a reminder- Tans "men" aren't real men. Why don't you go make someone a sandwich or some babies? That's all women are good for, other than tapping material. You should've never talked s**t about Devpai” Me to Yan Dev deplorable #36667-KKK: F**king degenerate! Two can play at that game - Say what you want to think about trans-men but they have real penises something you obviously lack, and you must feel safe in your mother's basement behind your computer as you are so ugly and gross no woman would never make you a sandwich or a demon spawn in your name and you wouldn't be able to say all that deplorable talk to Oni's face, for the fact that you are afraid of women because they are so much stronger than you and Oni herself could effortlessly bash your head in so hard it will come flying out your tight a**hole. And speaking of penises, how does Devpai's nonexistent dick taste? Keep sucking on it until you choke or get one of the many diseases Devpai is carrying as it will rid the world of one less problem we have to concern ourselves about! I really would love to leave that one comment to any Alex fanboy, I would love to.

7. His Game and Characters are Horribly Designed

Aside from the fact that Alex's game is like a hentai without the sex with brainless women that have breasts and butt-cheeks bigger than their empty heads and guys with di*ks so big that they will have to pee in the bath tub, that is if they can fit them through the bathroom door. His characters are by far the most poorly made shells-of-men and women i've ever seen! For starters most of his character's names are just really lame puns that more or less reflect what little personality they have, an example is Osoro which means "awful" in Japanese and heres a few more: - Osana Najimi (Childhood Friend) - She's not even fully implemented in the game yet. - Geiju Teuka (Artist) - Mai Waifu (Means: my female anime crush) - Midori Gurin (Green Green) - Sakyu Basu & Inkyu Basu ((Sound like "Succubus & Inkubus" )Obviously) - Mida Rana (Indecent) The game also takes place at high school but the students all wear sailor uniforms, only middle-schoolers wear them while high-schoolers normally wear neckties with blazers. Plus virtually all of his characters are stolen Unity Store Assets - which he says he's going to replace in the future but he won't, just watch! And on top of that, they all have even less personality then the Twilight characters in which their only character trait has something to do with their pun names. Also Yandere-chan (Iyano Aishi) - the character you play is described as an emotionless, dull, empty killer-in-love that "inherited" her Yandere trait from her mother which is NOT how a Yandere should be! Yanderes are solely motivated by emotion especially love and fear and will kill based off of their emotions if they see any potential rival in their crazy obsession over the man/woman they want to be with if it kills them. Alex loves Japan yet he knows nothing about them and their culture, and he knows about as much on making characters as Donald Trump knows about being a President, in other words: HE KNOWS NOTHING!!!

8. He Hates Social Justice Warriors

Social Justice Warriors or SJWs are good people and I'm one myself, their only goal is to stop all sexism, racism, homophobia, and just all forms of bigotry and prejudice in general so that everyone, no matter how they're born don't get treated as second class, as objects or even as criminals just because they're not white, straight, Christian men. The only people they don't support are actual criminals. And fun fact: people who usually hate SJWs are often racist, sexist, homophobic, hateful, Nazi-loving, KKK, fascist, deplorables like about half of Donald Trump's supporters as well as Trump himself and Alex Mahan (Yandere Dev) - who also supports Trump. Some SJWs may go a bit too far and take their ideals to the extreme to where it's white men above everyone else being reversed, but those "SJWs" are extremists and unfortunately they give the rest of the SJW's a bad name like "extreme liberals". But I know that it goes both ways, there are both extreme liberals and conservatives and they both have terrible ideals on how one or two groups of people "deserve" more respect than the others and normal SJWs are not like that, we are EQUAL RIGHTS not ethnic or gender dominance - because that wouldn't be "equal" now wouldn't it? And when you see all those stupid, unfactual anti-SJW memes and rants on the internet calling SJWs "bullies", "bigots", "racists", "criminals", "stupid", "hateful", "whiny", "cancerous" or whatever, those dumb memes and rants were made by REAL bullies, bigots, racists, and criminals that ARE stupid, hateful, whiny, and cancerous low-lifes! On top of that, Yandere Dev has been seen making friends with people on 4-Chan - one of the worst anti-SJW cesspools on the internet. And the people on 4-Chan talk like Nazis and KKK scum and Yandere Dev likes to pander to them about making Yandere Simulator the most anti-SJW game in existence and he's on a roll with that as it is already filled with, incest, misogyny, pedophilia and indecent exposure. Oh how I dream of the day when I can ban all anti-equal rights garbage from the internet, as well as Alex himself.

9. He's Notoriously Known as "EvaXephon" on Other Sites

When Yandere Dev is not working on his game for two minutes a day, he is doing terrible streams on other sites under "EvaXephon" by streaming video game playthroughs for up to 21 hours straight with horrendous gaming skills. I've seen some of his streams and he has played quite a few games that I've played myself and I'm SO much better than he is, in fact - for every time I've died in a level Alex has died like ten or even twenty times and if you suck at video games don't show it on the internet, unless it's for a comedy of errors. Anyways one such site he's been streaming on is Twitch and he often likes to leave links to his crumby streams and a lot of people hate him for it. On a side note: Yandere Simulator got banned on Twitch and while Alex says "It's those dirty SJWs" I'm sure we all know why it got banned in the first place, am I right?

10. He's a Liar

This may be one of the more "mild" cases of Yandere Dev's guiltiness but he does this often, like on a daily basis "often" and a lot of his fans believe him but you don't have to have a camera in his room to see what he's doing. Because he records himself doing other things! A perfect example is on how he always says that he works "very hard, nonstop" on his game but really he just works on it for 5 minutes a day and then spends the rest of the day streaming his crappy gaming skills for several hours straight, one time he did it for 21 hours in one day. And I know how he feels, after all I need "some time off" every time I finish one math question at school, my school was so brutal! I'm joking of course but other examples of when Alex lies is when we question him on how he doesn't pay any of his volunteers who work on his game for him but he says that he does. Yeah, and Donald Trump cares about Mexican and Muslim lives! (Not!!!) But probably the best example is when we point out how he steals something from other (real) artists or source materials and he either says that he stole nothing and it's his or he says "it's just a placeholder" but in reality he's saying "It's saying there forever whether you like it of not". - This will come back later...
