Tag: the ‘water loves demyx’ tag

venacoeurva:

A simple chibi commission in papery style of merman Demyx for @goodmorningawfulbye! This style is always fun to work with, albeit time-consuming. It weighs out equally, though.

-Don’t reupload/edit/use without proper credit and the client’s permission, please.-

If you’re interested, my commissions can be found here. Cartoony busts, optional shading (lined pieces) and additional character fees are half off at the moment!

To this day I still wonder where this “Demyx is a precious cinnamon roll” characterization came from.
I like Demyx, I really do. He is not my favorite, but he is somewhere in the upper middle, so it’s not I want to make him look bad.
Because the reason I liked him was because he wasn’t a precious cinnamon roll.
At first I thought, maybe it’s because people only played KH2, but not Days? But then, even in KH2 we can see his dark and morbid side, like he drops the act of that lazy, goofy and frightened guy after he realized that it simply doesn’t work with Sora and coldy adresses him as a traitor before the fight, just to show that he actually CAN fight, even though he claimed that he couldn’t before.
And in Days, how he says that he is happy that the Castle Oblivion Orga member died because they were annoying and all, how he ditches Roxas on every mission and stuff.
He is lazy, rude and to a degree morbid and cocky despite his chill seeming outwards appearance. (And I think that he gets along with Xigbar also fits into this, because in that regard they are kinda similar) There is literally no point in the games were I thought “Aw, he is a precious cinnamon roll”, so… where does this come from? I like this rude and cocky Demyx, I don’t want him to be super nice and all but I have the feeling most of the fandom sees him that way and I am confused why it is like that.

Demyx Time, my guy

That’s certainly part of it.

But it also perpetuates him being stupid/naive, which we all know isn’t entirely true (he’s good at recon, he just doesn’t write very thorough reports)

Also consider how many people both in universe and out truly think he’s not even dangerous. Stupid, lazy, annoying as all get-out, cowardly… but never actually a threat or force to be reckoned with (and then they spend like… hours on his boss fight but that’s too much salt and I digress).

So few people in the Org like each other; it’s an absolute clusterf*ck of personalities and motivations, and the Org reacts negatively to Demyx pretty frequently (Roxas is at least semi-often kinda shitty and mean behind Demyx’s back in Days, though Axel is quick to shut him down, and it’s not like Demyx is mean to Roxas).

I think insofar as the lazy nice guy act is an act, it’s not as though that’s not who he is, it’s just that it’s his most-oftenly-used side of his personality. The darker side, I think, is more likely to be the “front,” almost gritting his teeth and doing the thing he has to do, even though multiple times he’s said he has no desire to do that specific job. And, in addition, Sora (and Donald) definitely pushed him toward fighting at that point. 

(endcap: But I’m a big fan of Demyx basically no matter what, so I’m aware of my biases hehe.)

Why I *want* to think Demyx’s name is in the Undertale credits: it’s in reference to his pacifistic nature and a commentary on how choosing not to fight can help keep darkness and destruction at bay
Why Demyx’s name is in the Undertale credits, probably: someone on kickstarter thought it’d be funny and put “Demyx” as their backer name

Demyx/Reader: “Your hands are so much larger than mine.”

You reached out to grab the knitting needles before Demyx dropped the stitch he had hanging between them.

“Now hang on,” you breathed, “I don’t want you to drop that.”

He relaxed his hands, bringing the needles together, slackening the yarn.

“What am I supposed to do?” He asked, “because this clearly isn’t working.”

You rested your hands on his reassuringly, laughing to yourself at the difference in size between your hands and his. “Wow. Your hands are so much larger than mine,” you giggled. “Okay, so the thing here is that you want to drape the yarn over the crossed needles, then hook it on the one in your left hand…”
