Turning Red as anime đźâ¤ď¸đ
Requested by @bittersweetiepieÂ
A friend DM'ed me asking about Yandere Sun and Moon from FNAF: Security Breach, and I'm actually going to go ahead and post my headcanons about them:
(I don't know if they're given pronouns, in-game, so I'm using "they/them".)
Sun would be all about lovebombing and Moon would be all about control.
When their darling is cooperating, Moon would actually be very soft and soothing; they're designed to take care of napping children, so Moon would be great if their darling has nightmares or is trying to get to sleep but having trouble.
If you lay down when they tell you to, Moon will just quietly tiptoe (and soar) around, bringing you extra soft blankets and, if you can't go right to sleep yet, maybe some warm milk with honey.
While you drift off, Moon would stroke your back and sing lullabies. (They're creepy sounding, because Moon sounds creepy in general, but they're trying.)
I think the fact that, in the game, Sun still says their lines if you go back to the security desk while Moon is stalking you is a mistake, but I'll take it to be canon that Sun can still talk while Moon is in control and vice versa (since Sun's line about keeping the light on sounded like Moon talking). While Moon is putting you to sleep, Sun will sometimes come through, excitedly whispering about how much fun you'll have, in the morning. Moon shushes them(self?).
It's just breaking the rules by, say, getting up early or staying up late that makes Moon turn menacing. Naughty children must be caught!
Sun is never threatening, but they are desperate; they want their darling to be happy and having fun, and if that isn't happening, then it must be because you want to do arts and crafts or play on the fun slide or swim in the ballpit or do something you're not doing. How about some yummy soda? That will make you want to play!
Either of them can lift an adult human (of any size) easily (because it's FNAF and all these animatronics/puppets are unreasonably strong). If you stray, either of them will just carry you back to where they want you. Sun will act like it's a misunderstanding and you went the wrong way (and bring you back to the designated play area as many times as they have to, with no indication that their patience is exhaustible); Moon will pick you up and call you "naughty" over and over and pile blankets on top of you until you can't get up again.
Sun loves to play games.
Moon loves to cuddle.
They don't have a concept of adult human behavior; they're designed for children, so if they feel strongly for anyone, they express love in the way they would towards a child. That is to say, telling them how old you are won't make a difference. At most, Sun will just indulgently say "Wow! You're a big kid, huh? You've had a lot of birthdays!"
They also weren't given an understanding of romantic relationships, so the best they can express their yandere feelings is by calling you their "best, best, best, best friend", and their "extra-good friend," and things like that.
If anyone (animatronic or human) tries to find you, they'll just put you to sleep and hide you away, lying that they haven't seen you. Maybe they stow you in the castle, or maybe in the ballpit. "It's super hard to find things in the ballpit...but I know how!"
(WARNING: THIS ONE'S DARK, OKAY?) They are the type of yandere who actually might kill you by accident and then not notice. Moon just treats you like you're sleeping and keeps away the icky bugs, and then the daycare gets complaints for the smell.
(F/H) =favorite hobby.
I have the weirdest crush on this freaking duck and I donât know why, so Iâm taking out my confusion on this matter by making him yandere. Sorry that this is so long, boring and slow but Iâm a sucker for slow burns and just dislike instant love. This went from just from headcannons to a freaking long ass story. I think Iâll make more on how the reader reacts when they find out just how mentally fucked Scrooge became.
Who knows, maybe Iâll write one for good olâ Flinty. I have a feeling heâd just drop kick any rival he spots without much qualms about it. Meanwhile, Scrooge has a full on psychological derailment.
TW: manipulation, dependent behavior, stalking, and more.
______________
â˘To be honest, the likelyhood of Scrooge turning into a yandere might be higher than you think. Heâs capable of self defense and can fight. He literally hunts treasure for a living. He also has a trillion dollar stockpile sitting around begging to be used for cover ups. His determination is pretty crazy, and heâs seen a lot on his adventures, things that would kind of instill a paranoia over time or an unhealthy me mentality. He can easily hide behind a professional front. Oh, and if he so wanted, he could travel and bury any evidence under a volcano. :)
â˘Since this is a yandere AU or, Iâm gonna go with the idea that this is a what if the show had a TV-14 rating as well, so much darker themes can link and be explored.
â˘After pretty much a century of adventure, most of which includes violence and fighting through perils, human or not so, Scrooge is desensitized to quite a bit of violence and the dark and greedy side of the world. Heâs seen the best of people and also the worst. This plays majorly in anyone who becomes a yandere; how exposed they are to peopleâs bad side or their own dark tendencies.
â˘Scrooge himself is not perfect and has demonstrated some traits of greediness, paranoia, and general distrustful behavior which is perfectly reasonable considering his work and the things he exposes himself too during it.
â˘Even though he loves adventure, there are a lot of bad things that happen on them that he seems to bottle up or keep to himself. Bottling up things causes a negative buildup in anyone, especially Scrooge because he expects that loving his lifeâs work will repair the same damage it sometimes does to him.
â˘Most likely, Scrooge developed an affinity with you through your similar drive for adventure. Maybe you worked for him in some way and he saw you defend someone or maybe you outsmarted one of his adversaries on an adventure he decided to bring you on. Regardless, youâve caught his attention and this is only the beginning.
â˘A rival love interestâs biggest mistake is mistaking his age for a weakness. One minute heâs complaining about someone being on his lawn, the other theyâre buried under it.
â˘Scrooge would probably connect most if heâs seen that you used to be in his shoes before, or at least a similar situation. Maybe youâre struggling financially but working your ass off to stabilize your income. As someone with the humble origins of a shoeshiner, Scrooge understands perfectly. Despite his incredible stockpile of wealth, he knows whatâs itâs like to be at rock bottom.
â˘At first, youâre probably obviously very suprised with Scroogeâs involvement in your life. Heâs from an entirely different world than yours after all, the top of the pyramid. Depending on your origins, you might react quite differently. Currently, you managed to find yourself stuck in a job you hated, working for someone you despised. It was a miserable, repetitive job that brought to your life a void of boredom.
â˘You craved adrenaline, even if it would get you killed, you finally figured that at least youâd go out with a spark. Putting on a smiling face, you accept a position at McDuck industries thinking that it was going to be another office job. By your luck, (or, later on, unfortunate luck), you managed to score a position that required you to be near Scrooge quite often.
â˘This gave both of you time to acquaint with eachother and the opportunity for him to see the potential in you as an adventurer instead of just an employee. Scrooge rarely lets people in beyond family, and is quite reserved so he himself questions what he sees in you at first, distrusting you even.
â˘When you are taken on your first adventure, you nearly boil over with eagerness. Thereâs a worry at first of the treachery involved but eventually, as you venture on more and more explorations, that fear dulls and you think the adrenaline as far more important than the possible loss of your life.
â˘Craving adrenaline is the main reason at first as to why you to want to stay around Scrooge. Despite his repeated attempts to brush or push you away, you find yourself excited every time you get to explore and finally get to see a world that you thought youâd never visit.
â˘Still, Scrooge remains cold and you canât figure out why beyond the reason that heâs just a pessimistic old capitalist. As much as you want the adrenaline, you kinda canât help but eventually enjoy his presence as well despite his temper and general grumpiness. Having been alone for over two decades without friends does that to someone. You needed warmth again.
â˘Maybe you grew attached to all the times you felt you were winning when you snubbed an artifact. Also, after collecting and sneaking a few gold coins into your own pocket, you were finally getting out of debt and on track to actually start your own business involving (F/H). You had the dream that you could travel where you wanted and finally find peace from your own mind and problems.
â˘Scrooge, despite his own warnings to himself not to persue, canât help but offer you a job working for him. You made adventuring a million times better and were a great addition to the team, providing your own perspective or plan for the times he and his family would journey out. Oh, and heâd finally get the opportunity to be around you more. It was refreshing to see how optimistic you managed to remain despite your current financial predicament. (Which he contemplated solving.)
â˘Soon, however, Scrooge began to see that you were not as happy go lucky as you pretended to be, at least not when you werenât on another treasure hunt. Something appeared to be gnawing at you. Deep down inside, it appeared to plague you and Scrooge began to worry for your well being and as a too curious for his own good duck, he needed to know what was going on. Especially when he had caught you quickly wiping away tears while you began to head home. What could possibly be causing you this pain?
â˘He had to find out and to his own realization, he had to know now. After all the times you saved and helped him, he wanted to make sure you were at least doing alright in return. He ordered Launchpad to tail you home and Launchpad, oh so very loyal, doesnât question it much.
â˘Most yanderes might suffer from the constant delusion that their victims love them back or that theyâre in the right but thatâs not the case with Scrooge. There are times where he does try to justify himself, but this is mainly due to a fit of rage or to play innocent to you. Most of the time, he knows his actions are wrong and the burning temptation is causing a war. Very early on, he suppresses his curiosity and the growing feelings he has about you. Especially when they begin to boil into something far darker. Although heâs done this to nearly everyone, being cold to you and pushing you away seemed to be his way of trying to ensure your well being instead of his. He was finding it hard not to think about you sometimes.
â˘Soon enough though, he begins to grow inquisitive about your personal life as you open up to him and define yourself as a person instead of another blur. You were always quite genuine to just sit around and talk to him and despite denying it to himself, Scrooge was lonely, especially after the Spear of Selene. Sometimes youâd joke to him, sometimes youâd think philosophically. Sometimes it was just a mutual, comfortable silence.
â˘Scrooge might make excuses aloud to you, but doesnât lie to himself. All the times heâs made you work later or given you an extra dose of paperwork was because he wanted to keep you around and in his line of sight. 12 hours without you was turning into a painful reminder of how isolated he was, even with Beakley around. You were a warmth, a cool, calm warmth.
⢠âIâll eventually need to know her address later on in case sheâs attacked by one of my adversaries anyways.â Nope, Scrooge wasnât fooling himself with that sentiment. He knew he was invading your privacy, but he also knew that he was too nosy to care enough.
â˘The main problem is that although Scrooge knows a lot of what heâs doing isnât right, he begins to care less and less. (Though this process takes quite a while.) Youâre a valuable and positive part of his life, you had stayed when everyone else had abandoned him for his admittedly awful mistakes. He canât lose another person he treasures. Especially not you. Youâre becoming the shiniest yet. Losing you might mean losing himself in some sense.
â˘Scrooge tries to shake off the guilt but only finds that maybe itâs better to punish himself by feeling it. Heâs currently following along your path to wherever your destination currently is.
â˘Of course, his iconic shiny limousine would be a sore thumb sticking out to both you, the media, and Duckberg in general so he makes sure to either trail far behind or to have another mode of transportation available. Regardless, Scrooge never hires another person to watch you in place.
â˘Scrooge doesnât even install cameras. Heâd rather experience your life from his own two eyes and not as reported from another bird or screen. He rather liked tracking you himself. It gave him a place to go and at least heâd be able to bask in your duality himself. Sometimes you cried, he found to his own breaking heart. Sometimes youâd smile, (mostly only in his presence, to his delight.)
â˘Most of all, though, you seem caught in the present of life. Distracted, even. It seems though, that sometimes youâre so distracted that you donât even notice something is off. Or maybe you yourself are too unable to break the cycle of adrenaline adventure to see it. Maybe you yourself were actively creating excuses, at least at first as to why you sometimes ran into Scrooge McDuck everywhere.
â˘If thereâs something else Scrooge is a master at other than money, itâs with keeping up the detached and reserved persona of a wealthy individual. After all, who would suspect him of such crimes like these? Heâs just a selfish, greedy businessman that only cares about his wealth, right? Heâd never bother with other birds unless he was shaking hands at a conference table.
â˘Wrong. As you and him grow to become more like mentor and student, Scrooge begins to insert himself everywhere he possible can in your life, especially after seeing the shitfest that was your social group, what little of it there was. Apparently, youâd finally made a few friends over the years working for him and there was only one out of all of them that Scrooge approved of.
â˘Two of them, both identical Peacock twins appeared to be fascinated with your link to him and nothing more. It made some sense. After all, who could say they were a close worker to the richest duck in the world? The other one, a tall and lanky chicken, was getting far too handsy with you, and the final, a feline male was nothing but gossip and drama.
â˘To add to insult, you were a pretty big pushover outside of work which meant that they would drag you to places you didnât even want to go and pressure you to have drinks you didnât want to taste. They were in love with the mask you put up, not the complex and amazing face behind it. The one that you were beginning to let Scrooge see.
⢠Scrooge watches from a distance as your laugh reverberates. The laugh appears to Scrooge as unwavered and solid, mechanical in nature like it was a reoccurring script. Gazing at your face, he could see that your smile was strained, beak scrunched. You just wanted to go home and nothing more.
â˘The chicken next to you he was sucking a cigarette and the smoke blew in your direction, replacing your laugh with coughing and the others cackled with drunk glee, their solo cups tipping as they did. You blew it off as an accidental push in the wind which, by the way, wasnât even blowing.
â˘Out of all of them, Scrooge hated the lanky chicken, whoâs name he learned was Gale, the most. You deserved far better than that. Surely you saw through his sleazy act, right? Why were you hanging around such a ratched group of birds? Just how blind were you to their usage of you?
â˘Almost without even realizing it himself, Scrooge had tailed you the entire way home. After having to torment himself with an hour of seeing you torment yourself, he figured that maybe youâd find something that made you happy other thanyour little flock of âfriends.â
â˘So he was admitting to being a stalker to himself. Did that mean heâd be able to admit it to oblivious olâ you? Well, no. At least, not for now. Not until you trust him completely. Oh well, heâll never go further than then that, right? He was watching you, but not engaging in any way. Nothing worse could come out of it..
â˘Wrong.
â˘After a while of having you working under him at McDuck Industries, Scrooge began to realize just how much financial control he had over you. Not only did you depend on him cod for paycheck, your landlord worked for someone who worked for him. In other words, the spot of land you were living on was an apartment company that belonged to him. You were living under one of his roofs. All heâd have to do was shift some circumstances and youâd either be homeless or debt free forever. Scrooge of course, plays the benevolent route and lowers it significantly for you. Why antagonize you?
â˘After having taken that action, Scrooge noticed more and more of a smile on your face as you realized that you didnât have to depend paycheck to paycheck for food on the table. He had also been aware that you had a side hobby now, involving (F/H.) sometimes you joked youâd start a business and go off parting ways with that hobby. It was source of entertainment to watch you be..Well, you. There was this genuine behavior about you that just drew him in.
â˘If Scrooge wasnât adventuring with you or at a meeting also with you, he was still with you. You just didnât know it yet. Interestingly however, youâd begun to pick up the signs that there was a presence in your life. Whereas you didnât close the blinds before, you did now. Or maybe that was from all the adventures youâd nearly died on fighting others off. Maybe it was paranoia.
â˘Eventually, Scrooge managed to break into your apartment under the guise to Launchpad that heâd been invited by you. A ludicrous lie, of course, but Launchpad is gullible to a fault when it comes to Scrooge. Heâs loyal like that, and his friendliness to you plays into Scroogeâs emotional manipulation later on.
â˘As Scrooge sneaks in while youâre still home, he makes his way behind the kitchen counter which seperated your living room. He didnât expect you to be right there in the living room, but you were, just five feet away from him and the window he snuck in. The window was to your right. He had carefully parted the curtains. Your couch was sitting approximately five feet from the window balcony, facing a corner of the wall with the T.V off.
â˘Peculiarly, you hadnât even noticed heâd entered by rigging the door. You were right there, not staring at his direction, but he should have at least appeared in your peripheral. Just what were you doing to be so disconnected to the reality around you? It was worrying.
â˘Now hidden behind the counter directly to the left of you, he observes your desensitized form. For a moment, Scrooge thought you were a corpse until he peered closer. You were still there, physically. Mentally you looked as if you were in a whole other dimension. In a rather bold move, Scrooge slowly stands up and positions himself in the archway, watching you from his spot.
â˘You were still, so very still unlike all the times youâd fidget at work or with those âfriends.â You still breathed and your hands shook slightly and there was color to your eyes but you yourself didnât even seem present whatsoever. Your eyes were glazed and far away. It was just your body sitting there in that couch. It was worrisome and yet there was a blissful smile to your face seconds later.
â˘It was you, daydreaming about something. Something you obviously enjoyed. Scrooge, to his own shame, hoped it involved him. For a few more moments, all you did was sigh like you were meditating. It was haunting how easily you had lost yourself within the confines of your tumbling mind. Somehow, you were blocking out the world beyond, maladaptively.
⢠Scrooge knew he was taking a huge risk. All youâd have to do to spot him now was swivel your head a few inches or wake up from dreamland. It would take a few inches to ruin what you thought of him.
Just then, to Scroogeâs horror, you had slowly picked yourself off the couch. Your body shuttered as your head snapped up. He knew he was taking a huge risk with this and began to think that maybe it was a terrible idea after all. (Who was he kidding, it was terrible in the first place, he knew what he was doing.)
â˘He quickly fell back to his crouched position behind the counter, silently and expertly as you turned around and made your way closer and closer. There was a tense moment in which Scrooge contemplated just knocking you down completely and rendering you unconscious. All it would take was a few seconds. Maybe youâd forget or maybe heâd give you the dreamland you seemed so desperate to reach. It would certainly give him peace of mind to know where you are 24/7..All heâd have to do is knock you out and take you to the manor. Youâd be secure and have everything you need thereâŚ
â˘Your presence was setting him alight, in the good way and bad way. He loved being near you. But hated the idea of you getting any closer right now, because you getting any closer would ruin your trust in him entirely. A few more steps is all there was between the idol you saw Scrooge as and the monster he was growing to be. You were like a fire. The heat scorched his feathers. Then, when you were away, his thoughts.
â˘Your steps were louder than theyâd ever been. Then, to Scroogeâs unbelievable luck, you turned towards the hallway away from the kitchen. Scrooge knew not to push his luck trying to follow or stay, so despite his clawing urge to figure you out, he hesitantly snuck out with unanswered questions on your concerning mental state.
â˘It had been a months since that incident and Scrooge was moving onto bigger and bolder actions. Sometimes heâd swipe you away from any conversations you had with your friends by calling you in for a task. Sometimes heâd eat up all your time by keeping you in late, and taking you to places far away that required days of travel.
â˘Sometimes heâd drive bad influences away by financially ruining their life forever.
You noticed Galeâs downfall quickly, but you didnât have any idea it was Scrooge who was responsible. Gale lived actually, three complexes from you and oh so suddenly, rent had begun to skyrocket in the particular room he had to himself. This led to him being presented with an eviction notice. You didnât even have the chance to say goodbye. (Not that you wanted to, though.) deep down you were glad he was gone and Scrooge knew it. Gale had to move far off to find an affordable spot. It was a mercy considering how often Scrooge had dreamed of just throwing him into the ocean tied up for the sharks to find. He was a toxic influence.
â˘Maybe if someone pushed his button just right, Scrooge would end up killing them, and who would care? There were seven billion fellow people on the planet. Scrooge could just get rid of any threat he wanted and no one would notice or ever suspect it was him. After all, heâs just a grumpy old man with a cane.
â˘It turns out, Scrooge had picked up on your plans to possibly quit your job. He had never felt his heart sink like it did now. He was fighting off his initial shock as you stood in his office, masking it with a detached face. You hadnât even confirmed the statement. All youâd said was that maybe youâd found a company within your favorite hobby.
â˘It was just a small implication. But, Implications could become statements, which could turn into actions, and Scrooge couldnât let the thought even be a presence in your mind.
â˘You had stayed with him throughout the years of his loneliest moments, had confessed secrets, had confided in him. You were like his pupil, learning from him and you were like his partner, fighting alongside him. Maybe you were something different altogether.
â˘...Was it a friend that convinced you? It had to be. Scrooge knew how much you enjoyed galavanting around the world with him. Thereâs no way youâd just fly off without him.-
âI promise Iâll still occasionally go with you, Scrooge. (A first name basis. This was devolving from anything normal.) I found my passion. We can still adventure together, but I found a path that also makes me happy and doesnât ya know, get me killed.â You chuckle as if it were nothing. A light joke.
â˘So you were leaving. You were going to go. Why? You had a great paycheck, (an expensive one that took a lot of money,) you had the opportunity to travel the world. You had the best job youâd ever get. Who else was going to be as good as him? He wonât let you destroy your future by applying for a Mediocre position at some dumptruck company.
â˘As it turns out, the bird responsible for swaying you was none other than one of the peacocks, her name was Shelby. She and you laughed, and for the first time, your laugh was genuine. Genuine with her and not with Scrooge. You both shared each otherâs stories, and she in return had encouraged your little dangerous fantasy of being independent.
â˘Now of course Scrooge realized how ridiculous this all sounded. He had willingly allowed you to go on perilous adventures with him, but at least then, you were with him. How could he keep an easy eye on you if you just moved off to some rando spot? Plus, he was plenty good as saving you. He was your hero.
â˘Bad influences needed to go away.
â˘Scrooge might lie to himself about how much it digs under his feathers, but to see you around other people really dug wrong. He itched every time you decided to take advice from other people, or confide in them instead of him. He was the one you could go to, not them. Your secrets didnât need to be shared with anyone else but Scrooge. All those rare and precious things that made you yourself didnât need to be snatched by thieves like Shelby or Gale or whoever else.
â˘He knew that his criminal actions would scare you. Even with your growing trust and dependence on him, he knew it was too early for you to want to stay with him if you knew what heâs been doing. If he wanted your presence, heâd keep it through lengths youâd find terrifying.
â˘Scrooge found your biggest flaw was that you always attracted the wrong crowd, and it was primarily because you were always trying to impress others when they really didnât deserve the magnificent canvas you painted yourself to be. To his even greater detriment, you were beginning to spend your time more and more with Shelby. The canvas you painted was beautiful, as always. But it wasnât for him, and he found that he was not happy with this new development.
â˘Donât you know people take advantage of kindness? It happened to him all the time and still does. It happened to you over and over and yet you kept venturing forth giving out your trust like it was nothing. The world is a sour place if youâre not careful. Cursed kilts, you were already naive about Gale. Who knows how badly future people would hurt you, even if they were well intentioned.
Scrooge could tell that, despite him insisting otherwise, you thought leaning on his shoulder was burdening him. He wanted to make sure you knew it was anything but that. As a matter of fact, he wanted you to lean on his shoulder every moment he possibly could get you to. What was just you occasionally asking for advice on impersonal things becomes entire sessions with Scrooge encouraging you to reveal every personal detail of your life.
â˘You had revealed that many times, you just wanted independence. A company of your own to possibly build so you could pursue life your own way. Scrooge knew these dangerous thoughts were one of the final roadblocks. Scrooge had to prevent them. Be it through roughening you up financially or discouraging you. Be it from murdering outside influences, too. Who was going to miss the miserable miscreants that plagued your life anyways?
â˘It is three days before the date you had decided that you would resign. Instead of being merry, you were miserable. The opportunity you had to get the job was burned by them not even calling you for an interview. After your resume, why would they reject you? You had the word of one of the finest businessmen out there to back you up. Scrooge himself promised to put in a good word for you! You were perfectly qualified for the job you were looking for. In your days of being rejected from the position you wanted, you confide in Scrooge. You donât know it but as he pats your shoulder, heâs thinking of the next way to sabotage your efforts of leaving him.
â˘Shelby ends up going missing. She was one of your closest friends and the only one who finally treated you well. Your devastation causes a major setback in any ambitious plans as you isolate yourself from anyone else but only the closest person left in your life; Scrooge.
â˘Currently, you were enveloped in a warm hug, the side of your face leaning in the crook of Scroogeâs neck as he calmed your crying form down, patting your back and promising you his presence would remain forever. You wept at Shelbyâs funeral, so did her twin sister and their parents, who, upon seeing Scrooge, had nearly fainted in shock.
â˘Despite your tumultuous relationship with Shelby, she had actually begun to redeem much of her previously antagonistic actions towards you. She was in a rough place when you had developed a connection with her. So you wept in your bossâs, or rather, your best confidantes arms. You wept.
Scrooge, however, did not.
The couch was still too soft. Just like the bed. Everything in this place had been too soft ever since youâd arrived ⌠it was all too pretty and colorful and lively. It was harder to concentrate on the wall when your pictures sat on the mantle, when your clothes lay draped across the chair, when your touch still lingered on his skin. This whole place felt like you. Too much like you.
Michael couldnât distance himself at all. Even with his eyes closed he could hear your breathing in the other room, feel the gentleness of the ghost of your touch ⌠even with his eyes closed your features were plastered across the backs of his eyelids, vivid and vibrant, memorized down to the very last detail.
You were inescapable.Â
Pushing off the couch with a grunt Michael moved with that signature quietness to his step, his towering frame passing by the bedroom door as he headed for the stairs. Maybe he couldnât feel you up there, in that room, where everything had begun. Where heâd become completely alone.
