Hey, what's the best way to write a platonic yandere? (Speaking as someone who just started writing on AO3?)
AO3 Account Name: Cooder80025
Well it depends on the relationship of the victim has with the yandere. To me for platonic stuff there is 3 standout types: there is familial(brother,sister,aunt,uncle,biological or not), friendship/non-familial, and parental(mom,dad, biological or not). You have to figure out why the yandere is obsessed with their victim and go from there. This will vary depending on the characters/fandom you are writing for but I'll give you a few plain examples.
Familial: The victim is the yandere's last living relative(sibling or niece/nephew) After the rest of their family died the yandere began to find it unbearable to be away from their victim. The world is unsafe and only they can protect their victim.
Friendship/Non-Familial: The victim is the yandere's first person to ever show them kindness. They just want to return the favor and always keep them save with them forever.
Parental: The victim is the yandere's baby and they don't want them to ever outgrow their need for their parent. The need to keep them close has only grown as the years go by if they don't do something quick their baby might leave them.
Then you have to decide how dark you want to go. Do you want your Yandere to disable their victim so they can never run away. Or add poison to their meals to make them sick so they will always rely on them. Maybe brainwash their victim until they forget about the outside world and only think of them. Or maybe infantilize them and treat them like a child so they will never grow up and leave them.
It really all depends on you and your vision for your fic so I don't really know how helpful any of this will be but if you have anymore questions feel free to ask! <3
I'm curious, in The New Day's AU, what traumas do the parents/older siblings project onto their surprise adopted kids?
Oof this answers probably going to be long and all over the place so bare with me please.
Shigaraki: Shiggy has abandonment(All his family dying then later Afo leaving him) and trust issues(Finding out that the heroes he loves so much are the reason his father abused him and later failing to be saved by those same heroes.). He fears his last real piece of family being taken away from him so much that he'd do anything to keep Izuku safely contained at his side even if it means hurting his little brother. The heroes would do much worse to him in his mind.
Dabi: To me Dabi has a severe inferiority complex and so so much rage from being beaten abandoned ignored and replaced by Endeavor. That even though he loves Shouto there's a mean little part of him that likes seeing his father's masterpiece so weak and utterly dependent on him. He's never going to let Shouto grow to be stronger than him and despite being kinder than his father Dabi is still just as manipulative and possessive. He's never going to let any of his family become more powerful than him or be away from him ever again.
Hawks: Hawks went through so much neglect and abuse from not only his bio parents but also the commission. He's lacked any sort of familial bond for so long that even though he is using the same tactics used to train him on Tokoyami he feels its not wrong because its still better than what he went through. Finally being able to freely partake in his avian biology and using those same instincts against Tokoyami is cathartic for him. He's indulging in all the things he was never allowed to do/have even if its against Fumikage's will.
Twice: Jin grew up a poor kid with neglectful parents he honestly thought he was doing Ochaco a favor by taking her in. He assumed she was in the same boat and thought he could provide her a better life. He's not trying to be malicious he just can't stop projecting his and Himiko's experiences onto her. He thinks her wanting to go back is self-destructive/self-harming behavior and will stop at nothing to end it.
Toga: Poor bby has so many issues from her parents she couldn't help but project that onto Ochaco. She can't see parents doing their best despite their poor finances all Toga sees are people trying to exploit/use their daughter. Himiko just wants to give Ochaco everything she ever missed out on and more even if that's not what Ochaco wants. She wants her to be cherished and loved even if her idea of love is a bit...skewed.
Spinner: Poor Spinner faced so much discrimination in his life he thought Asui would genuinely happier with him. He thought she would be happy to live with someone who has experienced the same type of discrimination.
This guy…he gets me…
“they’re queerbait this, they’re not canon that” they’re whatever i want them to be on ao3 actually

I'm sorry I've been so inactive recently. I've honestly been wanting to 🔑myself. I have no money and no job. I was fired by my last job due to poor decisions from management and the new job I was supposed to work for has been stringing me along constantly pushing back my start date. I have no money for rent and honestly if I completely stop posting it cause I ended it ngl. I hope things get better soon if not💀Bye you guys, love you! <3
One of my favorite parts of Welcome To Demon School Iruma Kun is that everyone gets a chance to shine not just the major character and it's not just one half of an episode or two episodes in the spotlight and then shoved back to the background. *Cough* Assassination Classroom *cough*. And you root for them and want to see them develop and become better because they feel real. Also in Assassination Classroom the whole school apart from the main class freaking sucked and we barely got to know any of them. Just that they hated the Class E and thought that they (the other classes) were the best and Class E was trash and scum. And not to mention the principal got that cop out backstory that made him actually WORSE IN HINDSIGHT BECAUSE ESSENTIALLY HE WAS SAYING THAT BECAUSE OF HIS FAVORITE STUDENTS TOOK THEIR OWN LIFE THAT THERE SHOULD BE ONE CLASS FULL OF STUDENTS WHO SHOULD JUST LAY DOWN AND DIE BECAUSE THEY'RE THE STAND INS FOR THE BULLIES THAT DROVE HIS FAVORITE STUDENT TO THE POINT OF NO RETURN. Like dude I get it it's sad that it happened but you're a monster. Also it was weird that he had his students' phone numbers and would personally call them.
Ikr I love how each character gets attention and no one is fogotten. Honestly assassination classroom was super bad at that. I can't even remember any details/personalities of the other students aside from karma, nigisa, kayano and Kuro-sensei.
If that's the case, can I request a one shot of an Platonic Yandere Muzan with Tanjiro and Nezuko?
Yes! I actually have a bunch of ideas for Demon Slayer Platonic Yandere Fics. (___)= what type of yandere, the Yandere character will enforce.
Blind AU: Where Yandere!Sanemi succeeds in blinding Genya and takes him out of the corps to forcibly care for him.(Both Sibling and Parental)
Tokitou Twins Live AU: Where Yandere!Yuichiro survives and becomes a Hashira. No one knows of his little brother Muichiro, who he keeps locked away in his estate chained to the ground for his own safety. (Sibling)
"Rebirth" AU: Yandere!Kokushibo kidnaps Tanjiro after seeing his resemblance to his dead brother Yorichii. He believes him to be his reincarnation and takes him away to become demons together. (Sibling)
Descendants AU: Yandere!Kokushibo kidnaps Muichiro after discovering their relation. He sees bits of Yorichii in the boy and wants to turn him into a demon. (Parental)
Yandere!Douma and Inosuke. Inosuke is the last piece of Kotaha he has left, she was the only human Douma ever regretted killing. He wants to keep him after discovering he has survived all those years ago. (Parental! Though he sees Inosuke more as an interesting pet at first.)
Yandere!Gyutaro and Tanjiro. Gyutaro manages to kill Tengen and Nezuko while Zenitzu and Inosuke are killed by Daki. Gyutaro taking a liking to Tanjiro for his "cowardly behavior" takes him to Muzan to be made into a demon. Muzan believes Tanjiro to be a descendent of Yorichii and makes him a demon to tarnish his legacy. Muzan allows him to keep his new little brother as long as he gets to watch his fall. (Sibling)
I also have some that aren't quite as fleshed out but have potential
Yandere!Sabito and Giyuu. (Some sort of brotherly bond)
Yandere!Gyutaro and Daki. (Sibling bond)
Yandere!Tengen and Zenitzu. (Parental)
Yandere!Rui and Tanjiro + Nezuko. (Sibling bond)
Which character (or yandere) you had it difficulty to writing in your stories?
Hmm the hardest character to write? I think is Twice. I struggle a lot writing the contradicting dialogue that comes with his character.
And the hardest yandere to write for me is Overhaul. I've been trying to write a couple fics with him as the main yandere but it's difficult to write his character for me.
girlypop there have been several times you have convinced me to keep updating my fanfic even though i get like zero sh!t on a daily basis. you go girl you kept this bean motivated. ily(platonic).
