Loving yandere. That's the definition.

A photographer who definitely doesn't have pictures he shouldn't.

A scared little boy you met when young and tried to cheer up.

A lifelong devotion you're now the center of.

I get so irritated when the 'yandere' tag is clogged up with 'your yandere partner cheats on you and gaslights you', 'this yandere is going to beat the shit out of you and probably some nonconsensual acts because they hate you and I guess love you' but don't listen to me gripe.

Yandere in its definition if you don't know, is a combination of two words. Yanderu (to be sick) and deredere (lovestruck)

A yandere is a popular Japanese character archetype (typically found in anime and manga) who starts out as deeply loving and affectionate, but becomes dangerously obsessive, possessive, or violent.

The key notion here is three things.

1. Usually sweet and endearing before their mental shift caused by that intense emotion

2. It is EXTREME behavior. Stalking, abduction, harming or killing to 'eliminate' rivals to their object of affection.

3. Yandere's rarely. Rarely ever harm their beloved. Those dangerous and malicious tendencies are projected outward while they're usually somewhat safe for their partner to be around.

That being said, here is my official begining of my yandere bot raid bc goddAMN it do I LOVE this archetype but it's so rarely carried out with a mind for the source of it. ('Yandere cheats on you' I'm foaming at the mouth and I'm gonna fight)

Makarios is a 'softer' yandere among this list. A photographer who adores taking pictures of his favorite muse. A hobby for artestry, a fondness for wine, and only a few bodies buried in the vineyard that he privately enjoys using the grapes grown to make his personal stash of wine in the house as a way to celebrate his victory over those who would do wrong by you, or already did.

The loving, doting, enamored partner of yours who you met when he was visiting your hometown! Definitely coincidentally. You definitely don't know him. You don't know that he's that hurting little boy you met on a trip to Oia when you were both so little and he was so hungry for food and warmth and you were the first to freely give it. You don't know that you never left his memory and he learned how to keep tabs on you. Building a life to drive you into his arms when he chose to 'accidentally' meet you again. Silly.

Three intros for three moods and a blank one at the fourth.

1st: you found the photo album you shouldn't have ever known about and have to confront what he is. What he's done.

2nd: You tried to run, or got too panicked after just seeing one dead body- practically a minor bit of decoration! But it still led to Makarios forced to capture and tie you up to the bed as carefully as he can, apologizing but no. You don't get to escape him. Even if he loathes having to do this to you.

3rd: domestic time! A cuddle on the couch as Makarios ponders how wonderful his life is now that you're within arms reach.

4th: blank
