High five for asexuality :D

Oh yeah, in reality, if there's no consent involved then it's pretty much assault of some kind >.< Which in a fictional setting is fine because then folks can fantasise and no one's actually getting hurt. But no consent in reality is just horrific >.<

And heck yes for Sith Inquisitors in The Old Republic :3 Although, my personal favourite to roleplay as was Imperial Agent, haha. But yeah, I'm also a fan of scenarios that allow you to join sides with characters whose methods you may not agree with but who you can side with and hope to change their ways.

I'm sort of split on that because a big BIG part of me will want to 'save' the character who I'm siding with and help them to execute a shared vision in a less destructive sort of way. But then on the other hand, a part of me might still want to kill them anyway x3 Usually though, I'd prefer that we find a way to move forward together. It's just if the character in question becomes too dull, I would strive to trigger their darker side once more for my own entertainment or just grow bored with them x3

I hear ya on being sex-repulsed. That's something I feel 99% of the time, haha. I can stomach it if I see it portrayed on TV or in games, but I wouldn't exactly say I enjoy scenes like that! Mostly they just make me roll my eyes >.< Sometimes it can make me feel a bit ill, other times I'm more just like, meh, whatever. Mostly I'm just thinking, okay, soooo, can we get back to the story now, please? x3

But yeah, if I'm on the outside looking in at yandere relationships, regardless of whether the yandere is male or female, I feel more like I just wanna get rid of the yandere and protect the person that they're pursuing instead, haha.

But when it comes to scenarios where I'm supposed to be the object of affection for a yandere, how I'd prefer that scenario to go would really depend a lot on how I happen to be feeling that day x3 Because some days I might wake up and I'd be totally fine with doing what you said, not struggling, just attempting to be reasonable and making things work :3 But other days, I might wake up feeling more feisty and then I'd want the struggle instead.

Cos it's like, sometimes I might feel calm and prefer something much more wholesome and sweet ^-^ I go through big phases like that where I binge otome and while I still like the bad ends with yanderes, the good ends where they're both the yandere and MC are happy together are satisfying and adorable!

But then I will also go through equally big phases where I don't want that wholesome adorableness. I just want mayhem xD So yeah, definitely depends on what I'm in the mood for at the time, haha.

And as for settling for a struggle forever, I mean, I personally wouldn't. I would do my best to win that struggle, even if it meant killing the person I was struggling with or being killed myself x3 If I'm in the mood for that sort of scenario, there is no ideal ending because more than likely, one or both of us is gonna die x3 But yeah, if I wound up killing them during the struggle, it sucks because the scenario would then be over, but also, they should have done a better job of subduing me I guess >.<

So yeah, my struggle with a male or female yandere would be equal. I'd be aiming to kill both. It's just with a female one, it would be purely out of competition and I probably wouldn't really enjoy it. It would be more like just doing a job that has to be done to get rid of her, and I'd be happy once she was gone x3 But with a male yandere, I would find the process of the struggle entertaining and enjoyable, and I'd be kind of sad if I ultimately ended up killing them because then the fun would be over. Kinda like if a protagonist has been battling a good rival over a long period of time. They'd probably be relieved to finally be free of them, but then it would also leave a bit of an empty void without that worthy nemesis there to go up against, haha.

Anyways, the monster guardian kind of dynamic that you mentioned is a cool one, and I am a fan of it :3 If I'm in the mood for it, of course. I guess it would just fall more into like 40% of the time I'd be in the mood for that. But 60% of the time I'd want something darker and bleaker because I'm such a sucker for bad endings filled with despair xD

But yeah, you raise a good point there about being able to have those sorts of relationships with different people and it being fine because of being asexual. As you say, not everyone is, so those who aren't probably just don't see things the same way >.< Going slightly off topic here, but it is frustrating because I once lost a good male friend as soon as he had a girlfriend because his girlfriend didn't like him having a close female friend :( And I was like... but I'm asexual, I'm no threat whatsoever to your relationship because I'm not interested in him the same way you are... we're platonic friends ffs >.< But I guess people who aren't asexual maybe struggle to see how platonic stuff can work. I mean, I know some people who straight up deny that asexuality is even a thing o.O To my face, they said I must be lying because “everyone has sex and everyone likes sex to a degree. Anyone who says they're asexual just probably hasn't had sex before and can't get any.” What an absolute moron that person was >.> It's people with attitudes like that that made me feel like a total freak for most of my life for being disinterested in sex! I'm just glad I know now that it's not just me and that it has a name and plenty of others out there feel the same :3

But yeah, going back to what you said, it does seem like a lot of people want/expect a yandere to do one or all of those 3 things you mentioned, haha. And they just don't have to do that >.< It's always nice to come across characters that are a bit more human and have more to them. Complicated characters are much more fun :3

And yeah, if a character does wind up killing their love interest, even if it was out of love, then they have too many screws loose at that point x3 I mean, I like it and I'm happy with it in a scenario as a bad end, or even a final end, BUT, and it's a big, big but, haha; there has to have been some sort of build up or backstory that shows how come the yandere reached that level of insanity. If they kill their love right out of the gate with no reasoning behind it or no eventual backstory sorta reveal as to why, then I'm not impressed x3 There always has to be a reason and I would appreciate seeing that gradual descent into madness to make everything make more sense and actually be satisfying. Because if you can see the events that lead the yandere to do something so drastic and so final, so utterly insane that they can't come back from it, then it makes the whole thing a tragedy and you can feel sorry for everyone involved. I mean, you still hate the character and want to curse them, kill them, wish they had done things differently, sure x3 but at least that way, the whole thing is a tragic tale of doomed love sorta thing, and I do like that stuff. As I said though, I'm not against happy endings either, haha. Just depends what I feel like at the time :3

But yeah we totally do seem to be very close in some ways but far apart in others xD I suppose that makes things more fun really, haha. It would be boring if everyone had the exact same opinions after all x3 I mean I will probably always prefer bad ends and bleak stuff, stories of tragic love gone wrong, but there will always be at least a part of me that still likes to see happy endings and wholesomeness too ^-^

Anyways, since I might not have a chance to write anything more before Christmas, I will stop here and end by just wishing you a slightly early Merry Christmas and also a happy new year :3
