Facing the Struggle as Queer Transgender Refugees: We Need Your Help 🌈

Hi there,

I’m AshleymilesPhil, a transgender queer refugee, and I’m reaching out with an urgent plea. Life in the refugee camp is unimaginably harsh for our LGBTIQ community. Daily persecution is constantly hanging over our necks, and we’re battling diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, HIV/AIDS, and cholera. Combined with extreme shortages of food, clean water, medicine, and safe shelter, every single day is a fight for survival.

Your support can make a life-saving difference. Any donation, no matter how small, can help provide essentials like food, clean water, and medical care for our community. If you’re in a position to give, please consider contributing to our GoFundMe:

➡️ https://gofund.me/4d80b32c

If donating isn’t possible, you can still make a huge impact by reblogging or sharing one of my pinned posts. Spreading the word helps amplify our voices, which have been silenced for far too long.

Thank you for your compassion, kindness, and for standing with us in this fight for survival. Your support, whether through donations or sharing our story, means the world to us.

With gratitude,

AshleymilesPhil

I am Imtithal from northern Gaza. I live in very difficult conditions because of the war and I struggle to provide basic necessities. I was displaced with my children 17 times in search of a safe place. There is no safe place. We suffer from a shortage of water, food, medicine and milk. Because of the famine war that we have been going through for 10 months, I need your support so that we can survive. Even if the support is simple, it helps my family a lot. Please donate and participate.

Roronoa Zoro NSFW Alphabet (One Piece)

Pairing: Roronoa Zoro (One Piece) x Reader

Rating: Fluffy Smut

Word Count: 3.3k

Author's Note: Thanks for all the love on my Sanji alphabet, next up is our boy Zoro on the smutty side, and then maybe I'll do the SFW alphabets for them both next 💕 Keep your One Piece requests coming in, and let me know if you'd like to see any other headcanons for these two or the rest of the strawhats 🥰

A = Aftercare (what they're like after sex)

Zoro may tend towards stoic silence after sex, but his feelings are very warmly portrayed by the way he smiles down at you like you're the only thing that ever mattered to him. He'll insist on keeping his strong arms wrapped around you as you catch your breath, his fingertips digging slightly into your skin if you try and pull away before the swordsman's had his fill of you. Even if you're not romantically involved and he's pretending this is just for fun, you'll quickly realise Zoro can't stand to go your separate ways as your private time draws to a close, always looking for more ways to spend time with you - he'll insist on running a bath for you both, or tell you he should just sleep in your cabin in case you get cold. Eventually he'll give up the ruse and just unashamedly cling to you until the day is done.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Roronoa Zoro is rarely not working out, so there's very little on his body he doesn't feel pretty proud of. But when he walks around the ship with his unbuttoned shirt hanging open, he gets an extra boost of confidence from the way your eyes rake over his chest. He notices the way you bite down on your lip when he works out without a shirt on, and makes sure you know that you can lay your head, or your hands, on his chest any time the feeling takes you. He's all yours.

There's nothing about you that Zoro doesn't covet, but if he had to narrow you down to one piece of perfection he'd have to say your hips. He'll find any opportunity to wrap an arm around them and pull you onto his lap, enjoying feeling you squirm against him as he covers your neck in kisses. And when he's pounding into you with his hands clasping onto the soft flesh of your hips, it's almost impossible for him not to lose all sense of control, instinct taking over as he takes everything he needs from you, and gives you everything he has.

C= Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Zoro would love coming inside or on you. He might not be as outwardly romantic as Sanji, but Zoro truly sees sex as a sacred act between two people, a way to share yourselves entirely, and be completely together. So there being nothing between you as he lets himself go would be a very meaningful act to Zoro, just another way he gives his whole self, and his whole heart, to you.

D = Dirty Secret (pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Zoro definitely thinks of his dick as his fourth sword. Like with all his swordsmanship he wants to be the greatest of all time, grateful for every opportunity you give him to practice making you feel good, and vowing to be the only man you'll ever need. He'll also definitely bring the rest of his swords into play with him if you'll let him, using a blade to slice the buttons off your shirt if it's taking too long to take it off, or rubbing the handle of a sword over your aching hole until you're begging him to put it inside you.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they're doing?)

Zoro has waited his whole life for someone like you to come along, so it's safe to say he's never done any of this before. But he's a very quickly learner and he takes your wishes very seriously, all the hours of training his body for combat coming in surprisingly handy in the bedroom.

F = Favourite Position (this goes without saying)

Zoro likes to feel in charge when you two are together, so he's more likely to be on top so he can give you everything he has and make sure you're taken care of. He also loves having you doggy style so he can grip your hips as he rocks back and forth, almost relieved you can't see his pained expression at trying not to finish immediately when you feel this good.

If you want to be on top then Zoro will happily pull you onto his lap, helping you bounce over him as his lips explore every inch of flesh they can reach, leaving a trail of purple bruises that he hopes the rest of the crew will get a glimpse of sometime.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

As much as Zoro takes having sex with you very seriously, he's actually surprisingly goofy some of the time. If one of you makes a weird noise, or your arms get tangled awkwardly while you're moving, he'll break into the warmest smile, his affections for you only renewed by these special intimate moments you share together. Sometimes when he sees you smile when he's making you feel good he'll let out a little chuckle and make some snarky comment about how 'you look like you're having fun', but with adoration positively dripping from every word.

H = Hair (how well-groomed are they?)

Zoro likes to keep himself reasonably neat and tidy, but wouldn't care about what you choose to do with your body hair.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

With his dogged pursuit of excellence in swordsmanship, and his time spent as a roaming bounty hunter, Zoro didn't necessarily ever think he'd have a connection with anyone like the one he has with you. You're the only person he's ever wanted to be this close and vulnerable with, so he'd definitely bring that devotion to you, and that gratitude for your company, into the bedroom. When you two are facing each other you best believe he's making the most intense, adoring eye contact with you possible, and when you're turned away his hands and lips are caressing you so that you never feel like he's taking you for granted. Zoro might be a man of few words, but he'll still whisper a sweet nothing or two during the act, to let you know he loves you, that he appreciates you, that he's so much happier than he ever thought he could be now that he has you in his life.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Zoro never gave that much thought to touching himself before you came into his life, occasionally relieving some tension in the shower when he woke up tense but only taking the most basic pleasure in the act. Now with you in his life, and his head, he spends a lot more time feeling excited to the point of throbbing frustration. And when there's nothing he can do to get a hold of you, and trust me he'd try everything first, then he'll let his mind race with thoughts of you as he takes matters into his own hands. Even just thinking of you makes the act infinitely better, the devoted pirate finding even his fantasies can only revolve around you.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

As well as having a kink around his swords, which I covered above, I think Zoro would be obsessed with you biting him and leaving perfect little marks on his chest. The slight touch of pain with the endless pleasure you bring would be perfection to him, and being marked by you would be a genuine honour.

Zoro also likes to be in control, so if you would let him, he'd love to tie you up and tease you for as long as he could stand it, the thought of having complete power over your body and pleasure sending his mind racing.

It's also not even a kink he's fully aware of, half the time just a side effect of how badly he wants you, but Zoro definitely enjoys seeing you getting worked up when you're around others. Like if he has you settled on his lap in the kitchen while Sanji's cooking for you, he'll draw soft circles on your inner thigh and watch the blood flush through your cheeks as you wriggle against him. Something about the two of you having a secret connection no one else can sense just gets him going immediately, having to carry you away before dinner's even made because he can't wait any longer.

L = Location (favourite places to do it)

Zoro definitely appreciates the uninterrupted time in your shared cabin, whether you're sharing a bed or a hammock that night, it's all a place of solace to him. Elsewhere on the ship he'll sometimes just get so distracted by you that he doesn't even consider that there are other people around that could see you. If you're watching him work out, and smile at him a little too proudly, he's on top of you before you know it, muttering quiet thank yous for your company and seeing how high he can kiss up your thigh before you start to mention that the rest of the crew could walk in any minute.

When you're docked on an island, Zoro likes trying to find tranquil places he can bring you to. He'll ask you to join him on a hike up through a forest, Nami telling him it would bring him to a secluded clearing where you two could share a moment's peace. He'd hold your hand the whole way up, and when you get to the top he'll say something uncharacteristically sweet and kiss you on the cheek as you take in the view. He does this just to make another memory that the two of you can share as you continue your lives together, his way of showing that you two are building a story and he appreciates every chapter with you. It doesn't hurt that half the time when he's being this romantic you'll push him to the ground and show him just how much you appreciate him too.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

Once a stoic man with a lot of self control, Zoro is reduced to Sanji levels of desperation when it comes to you. Although he is at least a bit more subtle about it around the others.

He's so impressed by everything you do, and so in love with every acknowledgement you give him, it just makes his body crave you. Crave showing you why you made a good choice in taking a chance on him, why he's worthy of your affections, why you should let him stick by yourself forevermore.

N = No (something they wouldn't do, turn offs)

There aren't too many things Zoro wouldn't try for you, but given his intense devotion, he's not going to want to share you with anyone else.

He's not too keen on giving up complete control either, preferring to be the one tying the blindfold, rather than the one wearing it.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Zoro would take your pleasure very seriously, so when it comes to going down on you, he'll be on his knees before you even get the chance to ask. He's a little uncertain the first time, feeling the pressure to be the best for you and praying you'll let him keep practicing after that night. Luckily he's a quick learner, and when he finds the right techniques to get you moaning out his name loud enough that the chef might hear it, well he can believe he's going to keep that up for hours. He loves to grip your hips and thighs to keep you exactly where he wants you, and to stop you moving away from him before he's satisfied you've taken as much as you can.

When it comes to receiving head, Zoro is equally as over-the-moon as when giving. He relishes the sight of you sinking to your knees and slipping him between your lips, the gleam in your eyes as you gaze up at him almost sending him over the edge immediately. He'll definitely still be trying to play a leading role in it, brushing your hair out of your face if it's longer, or praising you as you take in a little more of his length. He'll rarely finish in your mouth though, preferring to flip you over and spill himself deep inside you if you'll let him.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Zoro loves getting the chance to really take his time to worship you when you find yourselves alone in your cabin at night, but sometimes he really just needs you now and he's not going to be able to be patient with his desires. Times like that he's going to get rough, pushing you against a wall so your legs can hook around his waist, or gripping your hips hard as he rocks into them, his whole mind overwhelmed and fixated with endless thoughts of you, and only you.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Zoro loves being able to squeeze in a quickie when he's desperate to feel you, and connect with you, and have you to himself. Honestly with how many of the things you do turn him immediately, he's going to be sprinting around the ship with you in his arms as often as you'll let him.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Zoro would definitely be game to try new things with you, knowing deep in his heart that the two of you have forever to find everything you both enjoy. He'd never take a risk with your safety, but he's more than happy to pick a risky spot for a quickie, the rest of crew's shame hardly mattering to him at all when he is all-consumed by his aching need for you.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

A master of self-control and completely in tune with his impressive body, Zoro can go all day. He'll have no problem holding off until he's sure you can't take any more, and then he'll have the nerve to make you tell him just how badly you want to feel him finish inside you, even as you're fighting to form a single coherent thought. If the two of you opt for a quick session instead, just know Zoro is ready to go again at the drop of hat (especially if you're bending over to pick it up.)

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

If toys exist in the One Piece universe, I don't think Zoro would have any. He's not opposed to them, he just enjoys the simplicity of absolutely nothing coming between the two of you when he finally gets you alone.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

If you want to tease Zoro, he's going to have a very smug poker face that he can keep up for a long time, so don't expect it to be easy to make the man beg. But when he does finally break, it's so satisfying to hear him quietly whisper and whimper about how desperately he needs you, how you're his one and only, how he's never felt anything like this before.

When it comes to Zoro he either takes what he wants right there and you barely have to ask, or he's an absolute demon for teasing. When he's in that mischievous mood, he just needs to hear what he means to you and how good he feels, more than he needs pleasure or air or anything. He's got way too much will power so he won't give in easily, not until he's really sure you mean every word you moan out, and your feelings for him are at least a fraction of the unending devotion he has for you.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Zoro is more a deep grunt guy or a quiet utterance of his love, rather than sending noises echoing around the ship for everyone to hear. He values every noise he draws from you though, whatever the volume.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for this character)

Honestly the biggest wild card about Zoro's sex life is just how much of a wild card he himself is! For a stoic man, it's hard to believe how completely all consuming his need for you is, and how constant that desire. There's just so much that you do that affects him in ways he never thought possible; when you stay sitting happily on his lap after he drags you onto him, when he sees you smile at him and he's so certain you're the only person that he's really and truly seen him, or when you've been apart and he misses you, or when Sanji dares flirt with you, and when you just softly say his name. Everything you do flips the desperate switch inside him that makes him need you like a drowning man needs air, all manners and decency quickly forgotten. He'll stalk around the ship to find you, and with a single look you know exactly what's racing through his mind. Obviously the smallest shake of your head would be enough to stop him in his tracks, but otherwise Zoro is just going to take what he needs before those burning desires consume him entirely. He'll throw you over his shoulder and dash off to find a secluded spot where he can taste you again, his fingers trailing up between your thighs and dipping into you even as you're being carried, his desperation overtaking any patience he once had. Sometimes you suspect he's hiding your underwear and suggesting you wear shorts and skirts just so he can feel you more easily, his aching need for your body turning this once serious bounty hunter into your unpredictable lover boy.

X = X-ray (let's see what's going on under those clothes)

Zoro has worked hard to get his body to its current state of perfection, and it's safe to say the rest of his lives up to the swordsman's big reputation.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Before you came along, Zoro really thought he was pretty in control of himself, not some pathetic creep like the chef. Now that he has you, he sees how wrong he was. You never leave his mind, not just in a sexual way, but everything that you are washes over him in his every waking and sleeping moment until he can hardly remember how he functioned without you. All of that obsession also means he's almost always craving the feeling of your flesh and lips and it's hard for him to do anything but seek you out and hope that you're just as deeply needy of him too.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterward)

The man of a thousand naps, I'm sorry but Zoro is asleep minutes after your romantic rendezvous is over. He'll make an intentional effort to tell you it was perfect and that you're amazing, and to hold you close, but as the words are coming out you can practically see z's appearing alongside them as he fights to stay with you. Settle yourself against his chest and be ready to be clung to like a koala until Zoro finally wakes up, ready to re-enact all the fun he had in his dreams of you.

Hello, I am Ahmed. I am 22 years old. I study medical equipment engineering at Al-Azhar University in Gaza, which was recently destroyed due to the difficult and terrible war that Gaza City is going through.

I had one year left to graduate, but the war destroyed everything. I lost my education, my father lost his job and his small shop.

I hope that you will help me and stand by my side in saving me and my family, starting over, completing my education, and building my life and future after it was destroyed.

10 Non-Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing

While lethal injuries often take center stage, non-lethal injuries can create lasting effects on characters, shaping their journeys in unique ways. If you need a simple way to make your characters feel pain during a scene, here are some ideas: 

Sprained Ankle

A common injury that can severely limit mobility, forcing characters to adapt their plans and experience frustration as they navigate their environment.

Rib Contusion

A painful bruise on the ribs can make breathing difficult and create tension, especially during action scenes, where every breath becomes a reminder of vulnerability.

Concussion

This brain injury can lead to confusion, dizziness, and mood swings, affecting a character’s judgment and creating a sense of unpredictability in their actions.

Fractured Finger

A broken finger can complicate tasks that require fine motor skills, causing frustration and emphasizing a character’s dependence on their hands.

Road Rash

The raw, painful skin resulting from a fall can symbolize struggle and endurance, highlighting a character's resilience in the face of physical hardship.

Shoulder Dislocation

This injury can be excruciating and often leads to an inability to use one arm, forcing characters to confront their limitations while adding urgency to their situation.

Deep Laceration

A cut that requires stitches can evoke visceral imagery and tension, especially if the character has to navigate their surroundings while in pain.

Burns

Whether from fire, chemicals, or hot surfaces, burns can cause intense suffering and lingering trauma, serving as a physical reminder of a character’s past mistakes or battles.

Pulled Muscle

This can create ongoing pain and restrict movement, providing an opportunity for characters to experience frustration or the need to lean on others for support.

Tendonitis

Inflammation of a tendon can cause chronic pain and limit a character's ability to perform tasks they usually take for granted, highlighting their struggle to adapt and overcome.

༶•⛧┈ 𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭- 𝑫𝒂𝒃𝒊/𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒚𝒂 𝑻𝒐𝒅𝒐𝒓𝒐𝒌𝒊

cw‼️: yandere themes, kidnapping, toxic relationship, slight nsfw suggestion

A/N: after finding out by @baby-tini there’s no yan alphabet of dabi, i had to contribute and be the first. Reblogs are appreciated!

MASTERLIST | DABI FLUFF ALPHABET

Affection- How do they show their love and affection? How intense would it get?

With Dabi it’s safe to say very intense. He feels everything so deeply, and he is very emotionally fragile too. He will give you his undivided attention and will expect the same in return. You should always look at him, nobody else. What he feels towards you is very unhealthy, his whole world revolves around you besides his other goals, he is quite emotionally dependent on you.

Won’t always shower you with the sweetest words but his actions clearly show the affection he has towards you, physical touch is actually this man’s love language.

Extremely clingy, always needs to hold your hand or your hip or touch your hair, always by your side everywhere you go.

Blood- How messy are they willing to get when it comes to their darling?

As expected from him, he is willing to burn everything down to the ground for you without any hesitation. You’re his weakest point and if anyone harms you ever so slightly, they’ll face a painful burning death.

He will also get rid of anyone that “threatens” your relationship, a certain friend, a coworker who was close to you (even worse if it’s a male). If Dabi gets the slightest doubt in his head that you are giving special attention to someone who is not him, it’s over for that person.

Cruelty- How would they treat their darling once abducted? Would they mock them?

I see him being able to calm you down with his strangely soothing voice and comforting words, you’d be screaming and crying and hyperventilating but suddenly he has managed to calm you down pretty good, grabbing your face gently with both hands and rubbing circles on your cheeks. He’s cooing in your ear that you’re such a good girl, that everything will be alright. He’ll kiss your tears, and tell you he’s gonna take care of you forever.

Darling-Aside from abduction, would they do anything against their darling’s will?

Other than kissing you, hugging you, making out with you and leaving marks on your neck, I do not see him going further. Dabi is more than capable to take you forcefully against your will and fuck you till you’re broken, but he doesn’t have the heart to, nor does he find any sick pleasure in that.

In his eyes it’s better to have you willing instead, he wants to make you fall for him in a way that has you hating yourself over such feelings. He will tease you, kiss you, make you feel hot and bothered but never take it further, until you’re the one actually begging him to do so. You’re the one who is suddenly grinding against him so needily, you don’t even realise it until you hear his low chuckle that has your cheeks hot. He loves the fact that you hate him so much yet your body is begging for his touch.

Exposed- How much of their heart do they bare to their darling? How vulnerable are they when it comes to their darling?

You won’t see him break down that easily at first, he knows you hate him and you wouldn’t care. Though as time passes you can actually see you and him becoming more intimate when it comes to feelings, mostly him, and it feels strange knowing that a fearful villain like him has in fact a fragile heart hidden beneath his cold, intimidating persona. He becomes more vulnerable with time, but not vulnerable enough to give you advantage of controlling him. He loves you yes, but he needs his own time to actually trust you.

Fight How would they feel if their darling fought back?

That bastard loves when you turn against him, he even encourages it sometimes, angering you on purpose just to see you trying to hit him. He knows he’s much stronger than you, but he still lets you hit him, maybe catching your hands to block you from movement, but he never hits you back.

To him you’re like a spicy little kitten, hissing and throwing a fit, 100% attack but 0% damage. He’ll call you little kitty too.

Game- Is this a game to them? How much would they enjoy watching their darling try to escape?

He enjoys a good game of cat and mouse. Just like any captive would do he knows you’d also try to escape many times. The thing is, you aren’t aware of the tracking device put on you, made by Skeptic at Dabi’s request.

Dabi gets a certain thrill watching you escape, thinking you’re so safe and finally able to go home, only for him to hunt you down again and bring you back to your real home. You keep him on his toes and he gets an adrenaline rush each time he plays with you like this. Deep down he has a sadistic side that loves watching you cry and kick him as he forcefully drags you back to the base.

Hell-What would be their darling’s worst experience with them?

When you anger him. Dabi is a very patient man, but if you take it too far by saying certain stuff that may touch his emotional side, that’s when you’re in for a ride.

It rarely happens when he really gets angry with you, but when it does you end up with burn marks on your body. He dangerously heats up the grip he has on you, and it burns so bad you keep crying even in the next days because the pain doesn’t go away. You learn it the hard way to be careful when you play with fire, because you’ll definitely get burnt.

Even if he didn’t use his quirk on you, the way his eyes darken has you shivering on your seat, its a sight that you’d never seen on him. Just like any other poor soul, you also learn to never get on this man’s bad side.

Ideals-What kind of future do they have in mind for/with their darling?

After having achieved his goals and turning the hero society to ashes, he plans to do his best to stay alive. If before he had made up his mind to die while taking down his dear ol’ dad too, now he will do anything to survive because your existence gave his life a whole other meaning.

In a world where villains have taken over, you’ll be by his side watching the world burn. He doesn’t see any other person next to him other than you, he is determined to keep you by your side till the day death do you both part.

Jealousy- Do they get jealous? Do they lash out or find a way to cope?

If there is a trait that would describe this man perfectly is jealousy. He is possessive, jealous, it feels like you’re walking on eggshells when interacting with other people in his presence. If he convinces himself that you looked a bit too longingly at someone else, or smiled a bit too much or were too friendly, he’ll hold it against you for the rest of the month.

If someone tries to get close to you or try and talk to you, Dabi will pop out of nowhere right beside you, wrapping a hand around your shoulder, driving people away with his threatening glare. People learn to always keep their distance from you and watch their words because they love their life enough to not get burned to death by the psycho on your side.

Kisses- How do they act around or with their darling?

Like I said, very clingy, very touchy, you need to be close to him no matter what, your hands must touch each other’s no matter what.

You wanna think of him as a devil, yet his kisses are heavenly, slow and passionate, but then they get rougher and more possessive as seconds pass by. His lips against yours and his tongue inside your mouth have you melting on the floor, it has you thinking and behaving in ways you’d never normally do. The fucker is a good kisser, it’s a good weapon he uses against you to have you gushing all over him, he loves the effect he has on you just by a few kisses.

Love letters- How would they go about courting or approaching their darling?

Dabi would learn the places you go to on daily basis, favorite cafe, your workplace/school, favorite shopping district, where you get your groceries etc. And then you’d suddenly run up to him, what a coincidence. Just more of an excuse for him to approach you and talk to you. His captivating blue eyes and husky voice easily pull you in his trap.

Flowers on your doorstep and written notes, letting you know how serious he is about you. You thought it was very romantic, but it wasn’t as romantic anymore after finding out later he is in fact a wanted villain.

Mask-Are their true colors drastically different from the way they act around everyone else?

Yes, because with you he gets to show his vulnerable side too, his deepest thoughts and feelings that he’d never show anyone.

Naughty- How would they punish their darling?

Tying you up in some dark room and not letting you out until he says so. It only happened once though.

Spanking is his favorite punishment, he’ll have you laid down on his lap, ass up as his heated palm comes down to leave bruising marks. He’ll have you count too and if you don’t count properly he’ll start from the beginning, getting off at the way you scream and cry.

You start thinking twice before doing something stupid again.

Oppression- How many rights would they take away from their darling?

No phone allowed until he trusts you enough, every contact with your old life is cut off, friends, family, everything. No going out allowed, not on your own at least, if you behave good he’ll take you out for walks everyday or eat in some nice place. Still he won’t go with you in crowded places until he’s sure you won’t pull off anything stupid to catch people’s attention.

Patience-How patient are they with their darling?

He is very patient. Doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a certain limit which you must not cross.

Quit-If their darling dies, leaves, or successfully escapes, would they ever be able to move on?

The only way you’ll be able to escape him is if you die or he dies. No other way. If you manage to escape and go to heroes for help he would rather go wreak havoc and take you back with him rather than just sit back and do nothing. Even if you pull off some very successful escape and disappear off the face of earth, he will search the whole world until he finds you again. As long as he is alive and breathing, you shall never be free of him.

If you die, that’s another different story. It would completely shatter him from the inside, to the point he’d destroy himself. He’d blame himself from not protecting you good enough, he’d mourn by burning down everything and turning it to ashes, including himself.

Regret- Would they ever feel guilty about abducting their darling? Would they ever let their darling go?

Yes he would feel guilty. Unfortunately that guilt doesn’t overpower his love and obsession towards you. He is selfish and will keep you for himself, help you get used to your new life.

Stigma- What brought about this side of them [childhood, curiosity, etc]

[I don’t get this question I’ll let the readers fill it lmao]

Tears- How do they feel about seeing their darling scream, cry, and/or isolate themselves?

If he enjoys watching you cry at some point, he doesn’t like it when that crying and isolation goes for too long. He’ll try to give you your space, in hopes that you will calm down on your own. He gets you everything materialistic you could have wished for, pampering you in the best way possible, just to see you smile a bit.

Unique- Would they do anything different from the classic yandere?

Not sure. I honestly think Dabi as a character has some obsessive yandere traits, you can’t convince me otherwise. Because he is so consumed by his obsession towards a person, whether it is by feeling hatred or love, always thinking of them at some form, everything he does or thinks about revolves around the said person, his whole life is only about the said person. I totally see him behaving this way with a potential partner.

Vice- What weakness can their darling exploit in order to escape?

You could try to earn his trust, make him feel loved and seen, making him believe that you’ll never abandon him, you could use this as an advantage to plot your escape. But your weak heart won’t actually let you defy him and hurt him like this, it’s way too cruel.

Wit’s end- Would they ever hurt their darling?

Yes, sadly he would. When he’s lashing out at you his quirk might get out of control and accidentally hurt you in the process. Which he definitely regrets.

Xoanon-How much would they revere or worship their darling? To what length would they go to win their darling over

Dabi worships you in ways you’ll notice when he is all over your body, kissing you, doing anything just to give you pleasure, he doesn’t care for his own pleasure before yours, you’re the definition of beauty in his eyes.

He’ll compliment you and throw in flirty comments that have you trying to hide your blush.

Flowers, gifts, stolen trinkets, anything you have looked at for too long in the shopping mall he’ll get it for you. He’ll spoil you rotten, will go out of his way to get you your favorite jewellery that you’ve always dreamt of.

You’re a sight for sore eyes and he despises the fact that other people get the opportunity to look at someone as beautiful as you.

Yearn- How long do they pine after their darling before they snap?

I’d give it 5 months max. After stalking you, getting to know you better and studying you, he’d become so desperate to the point he finally kidnaps you. Dabi takes his time and makes sure everything falls into place perfectly before he executes his final plan, he is not one to rush things, hence why he is patient enough until the time has come to finally make you his.

Zenith-Would they ever break their darling?

If you’ve fallen for him and would willingly go back to him even if he let you free, means you’re already broken.
