Imagine Dadku introducing his young daughters to Halloween for the first time. They’d each get a pumpkin to carve so there’s 7 little jack-o-lanterns and one giant Aku jack-o-lantern in the middle. Ashi, of course, wants to dress up as a ladybug or a butterfly, though costumes would be pretty interchangeable considering they’re all little shapeshifters. 

And when it comes time for trick-or-treating, the girls don’t really know what to do at first so they just hold out their bags and stare silently at the person handing out candy for an uncomfortably long moment. Then, in unison, they all say “trick-or-treat” in a creepy monotone voice. But they’d get the hang of it soon enough and start having fun once they realize it’s supposed to be fun.

Then Dadku would take them to a “haunted” house or maze and when a dummy clown pops out, their first reaction is to attack it because child warrior training. And finally haunted wagon ride complete with Aku being his excessively dramatic self and making the wagon fly. He’d make sure to instill in them a proper love for Halloween.

{Looool, I love the contrast of Aku being this ruthless demon ruler but also a super sappy dad. Like, he’ll probably drop whatever he’s doing to pay attention to his daughters. “You are luck! My little future empress would like to go out for ice cream, so your torture session ends early today!”}

Under the right circumstances I think Aku could have been an awesome dorky villain dad. Still ruthless tho. Probably more ruthless if he thinks his daughters are in danger.

me at 14: lmfaoooo all those “dont trust strangers on the internet” psa’s are sooooooo laaaaaame. like! i love talking to so many friends around the world about anime!!! i love rping!!!!!!!!!

me at 20: theres a deep and insidious culture within rp communities where the majority of folks who joined them as young teens were preyed on and abused by much older adults and i wish i had more guidance on how to avoid these situations as a child.

can i just

PSA for teens:

  • the people in your rp group are most likely older than you are. make sure that it is an established thing that you know their ages, or at least whether or not theyre 18+, AND that you’re a minor.
  • you do not have to give away any personal information that you don’t want to. the people you rp with might start to give out their names, where they live, and other personal details as you all get to know each other. if you’re pressured to giving out any personal info, you might want to reconsider your trust in them.
  • if it’s something impersonal like omegle where you’ll probably never talk to the other person again, be wary. you don’t know if that other person is 16 or 30. at some point probably ask out of character about their age, or just straight up say you’re a minor and see if they’re cool with it.
  • you do not have to rp sex scenes. especially with older people, and no matter what your IRL experience. i was pressured into smut rp when i was 15, with a person who was at least 21. i’d never even had my first kiss before at that point. don’t do it.
  • it’s okay to say no to scene ideas. no matter what they are, if you don’t want to do them then you don’t have to.
  • make sure that the people you rp with censor or tag explicit content. if they don’t, or if they make fun of you when you ask, that’s probably a big red flag.

PSA for adults:

  • censor your shit. everything from gore/violence to smut– if it would put the rating of a movie up to at least a PG-13, tag it. 
  • if you don’t want to rp with kids, find a group that’s 18+. there’s a bunch out there.
  • if you DO rp with kids, remember that they are just teenagers. 17 year olds now were born in the year 2000. 16 year olds are still in high school. they don’t have the life experiences you do, and you need to take that into account.
  • do not make fun of people who don’t want to do a scene. don’t pressure people, and take care with how you prompt someone who’s a minor. 
  • don’t rp sex scenes with minors. like. yall
  • if you see another adult pressuring a minor into doing smth, or if they’re just interacting with a minor in any weird way, privately message them and remind them. i was doing a smut scene with someone my age, and another rp partner seven years older than me was lurking in our private chatroom to watch it. nobody else said anything. don’t let that shit be normal.

i can’t think of more tips but tldr: communicate!!!!! keep each other safe!!!! god

PSA for EVERYONE

It’s not all about adults preying on kids. Adults can pressure other adults into doing things they don’t want to do. I was over 18 when I started RPing and was pushed into ships and playing smut that I didn’t want to play but was too nervous to say ‘No’ because I didn’t want to upset anyone. Likewise, kids can pressure other kids into doing things they don’t want to do, too. Just like in Real Life.

Rule of thumb: if ANYONE is pressuring you to do something you don’t feel comfortable with, hit the X button and never talk to them again. If I’d only had the balls to do that when I first starting RPing, I would have saved myself a lot of trouble.

Also, if you’re under 18, DO NOT PRETEND YOU ARE 18+ IN ORDER TO PLAY SMUT WITH AN ADULT. This hasn’t happened to me personally but it does happen. Please respect people and stay in your lanes. If an RPer’s rules state they don’t play with kids, RESPECT THEIR RULES.

does Aku have a type?

He’s weak for tall, powerful and beautiful, especially when long hair and big hips are factored in. Infinite bonus points if she’s immortal and over 1000. But that doesn’t mean he’d never get with someone who doesn’t match those descriptions. It’s just what he’s most attracted to. 

When it comes to sex, he’s the type who will always find something he likes about his partner even if she isn’t his “type”. With small thin partners, he’d get a kick out of seeing her stomach bulge out when he’s in her. Extra thick partners, he’d have fun squeezing and groping her or slapping her butt. He’s also the type who would seek out his partners’ physical insecurities and focus on/exploit them. 

BOLD ANY FEARS WHICH APPLY TO YOUR MUSE.
ITALICIZE WHAT MAKES THEM UNCOMFORTABLE.
STRIKETHROUGH WHAT THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT AFRAID OF.

Do you play with self-inserts?

As a general rule I don’t rp with fic-kin, self-insert ocs or people who identify as their characters. However, I am aware that some RPers self-insert heavily on canon characters just as they would an oc. It all just depends on how much blurring of the ic/ooc divide there is. If I feel like you, the player, are taking IC things too personally, I will disengage. 

That said, there are some self-insert ocs that I don’t mind RPing with because I trust that their players can distinguish between reality and fiction and they can understand that they are not actually their characters. Basically, I have to be certain that you aren’t going to let what happens in an RP affect your real life feelings. Aku is a villain. He can be a jerk. I don’t want anyone getting upset because I was playing him in character. 

Shipping is where I draw a hard line. I will absolutely not rp a ship with anyone who thinks they are their character or whom I suspect might take things way too seriously. If I’m playing a character and you’re not (because you think you are your character), that’s both unhealthy and it’s dangerous.
