Fellas, is it gay if you look out upon your nearest and dearest, forgotten accomplice's home whose name is sickeningly familiar and this song plays in your head?
Do you think Gortash stood on his balcony, not knowing why but drawn to stare at the abandoned building Durge called camp?
Anyways, the song triggers even if you haven't romanced anyone in your camp, and while of course it is totally up for interpretation, I'm interpreting it as durgetash. I mean, beyond the obvious urge to spill and potentially drink blood:
"I feel your breath upon my neck. A soft caress as cold as death […] Your blood like wine, I wanted in Oh darling, get me drunk and make me feel
Their memory is unclear, but the feeling isn't:
"I feel your heartbeat in my soul. Our futures bound, our bodies know."
What can't be remembered is still held within their body, and another version of that line changes to "our endings bound", which is only true of a few people- Durge can complete the game alone, but their ending is always shaped by their decisions surrounding Enver, the brain, and Bhaal.
Their endings are intertwined, they are each other's only equal, but Gortash's can only end one way (fight me, Larian)
"My only one, There's more to do, if we can only live. The clock won't stop and this is what we get".
Durge being hopeful to live, at least to finish what needs to be done- but some of their old guilt reflected in the prayer of forgiveness could be seen reflected here as well.
"It's not my fault I'm not to blame These ain't my sins I broke my chains"
Whether sins here refer to their sin of admiring the chosen of Bhaal or the sins of murder forced by their father's hand, they very much did and might have continued to break chains since being tadpoled. Paired with 'get me drunk and make me feel', it almost reads more like it isn't their fault they fell for him, he tempted them and gave them all they needed to feel, to be a person for the first time.
Full lyrics below. There's so much more you could pull from it (And yes, I know this will also trigger if you play as Tav, but it has such a unique flavor for Durge)
---------------
I feel your breath upon my neck A soft caress as cold as death (cold as death) I didn't know you well back then I blame it all on luck and vain (luck and vain) Your blood like wine, I wanted in Oh darling, get me drunk and make me feel
It's not my fault I'm not to blame These ain't my sins I broke my chains There's more to do And I still want to live (live)
I feel your breath upon my neck A soft caress as cold as death (cold as death) I feel your heartbeat in my soul Our futures bound, our bodies know (bodies know) Your blood like wine, I wanted in Oh darling get me drunk, invite me in
It's not my fault I'm not to blame Thesе ain't my sins I broke my chains There's morе to do If I can only live (live)
I can't go yet Don't let me die I'll never stop Until I'm done But just tonight Maybe I'll rest in peace
I feel your breath upon my neck A soft caress as cold as death (cold as death) I hear your heartbeat in my soul Our endings bound, our bodies know
I can't go yet Don't let me die I want to live My only one There's more to do, if we can only live The clock won't stop and this is what we get

Very sorry that’s happening to u :(
Sosososo sorry for the long wait, i’ve had like no motivation to finish this and it kinda seems half assed towards the end
And ty to milk who helped with this cuz brain is dead
AKITO SHINONOME
Tumblr media
-ohboy he’s pissed to say the least
-will throw back pretty much anything they've said about you back at them
-mf almost broke the fucking table
********
You all sat at the dining table, silently munching on the food your mother had prepared. The sounds of utensils hitting against the plates echoed across the room.
Panic washed over you, you knew one of your family members would eventually make a comment about you.
Not today, please. You thought to yourself.
You tried to ease the intensity of your shaking hands, and avoided looking up. Akito, who sat beside you, caught onto how you’ve been acting. Ever since the two of you arrived at your family’s home, you were awfully quiet. He brushed it off since he thought it was just you nervous about him meeting your family, but still kept close attention to how you were.
“So, do tell how you managed to date someone so out of your league” your brother teased.
“Yeah, you’re so unorganized, and you look so pathetic when next to someone who clearly has their things set straight.” Your mother added on.
You dropped the utensil that was in your hand and just sat there, trembling helplessly knowing you couldn’t talk back to them, as you knew that would only result in them throwing more insults at you.
“Excuse you?” A voice announced, and you knew exactly who it was. You could tell just from his tone that he was furious.
“What? You don’t agree?” Your mother said with a cocky grin on her face.
“The hell is wrong with you?” Akito argued. His fist hit the table. You winced from the sudden bang that rattled the table, the plates and silverware clanging from the force serving as another ringing in your ear.
“I’d like to know if you’re better than them; if you’ve actually gone farther than they have in your life. Do you actually think you can achieve something from doing shit like this?
To your own damn child?”
Your mother stood in shock, still trying to register what he said while her grin faded.
“And you have the nerve to call them pathetic. So how ‘bout this, shut your mouth.” The boy added.
You felt a gentle tap on your shoulder,
“C’mon, let’s get out of here.”
*********
You both left the gathering, and just walked together back to his home. Hand in hand, and with silence.
“Why didn’t you say something back to them?” He questioned, fury hinted in his words.
You didn’t respond. You simply just continued walking while staring at the ground.
Akito comes to a sudden halt. Which had caused you to pause as well.
“Answer me, please.” He added, while turning towards you.
At this point, he was desperate for a response. He didn’t understand why you didn’t defend yourself.
You couldn’t bring yourself to lock eyes with him. The swirling feeling of shame and embarrassment washed over you as you recalled the events that happened not too long ago. The stinging in your eyes warned you about the tears that had welled up, threatening to spill.
“I’m just scared, Akito” you muttered out, voice cracking.
“Why?”
“My family always liked ruining people’s view of me, throwing around things I've never said or done. I didn’t want you to fall for that.”
He couldn’t really figure out a way to respond. But nonetheless, he took some time for himself to recollect his thoughts.
“Look, you don’t seem like the kind of person to do any harm to other people. Even if you parents told me some bs like that, I wouldn't believe it.”
You smiled from the reassurance. Overwhelmed with your current emotions, you couldn’t help but cry, while embracing Akito in a hug.
TOYA AOYAGI
Tumblr media
-anger builds up as they progress w/ the comments
-literally just gets up and leaves with you
-doesnt feel like wasting his time on something so stupid since most of the time its projecting
-not leaving ur side for the rest of the night
*******
“So you’re dating someone who actually has decent grades? Maybe you’re using him for your own benefits. How selfish!”
“No, Mom. It’s not like that at all!
Why won’t you listen to me?!”
This only caused your mother to fume at your sudden 'attitude', raising her voice as she continued to accuse you of other matters at hand. The constant yelling filled the dining room, ruining the atmosphere of a peaceful dinner you'd hoped to have.
Toya had been silently watching this argument go on for the past few minutes. Frustration with your mothers accusations slowly crept up on him. He figured the only way out of this was to just.. leave. He didn’t appreciate how cruel your mother was to you.
He rose from his chair, and held your hand with a gentle, yet firm grip. When you looked up towards him, he announced,
“I appreciate the gesture of inviting us over, but I think I've heard enough.
*******
The setting sun illuminates toya's darkened room as you lay there within his arms; in a comfortable silence. It was peaceful and calm, much different from the situation that had happened before. You felt oddly drained from spending all your energy arguing with your mom so you drift in and out of sleep, clinging onto consciousness.
Toya had recognized your current state, and had thought it’d be best for you to stray into slumber. He wants you to forget the worries of your mother, and once you regain your energy, he will continue to remind you that he knows you're not what your mother accuses you about.
With a gentle smile he begins to hum a small tune that drifts throughout his room while stroking your hair in a loving manner.
Eventually, the boy heard your soft breathing, realizing you had finally fallen asleep.
“Sleep well, my love”
RUI KAMISHIRO
Tumblr media
-favorite
-kinda like akito but much calmer abt it
-if u walk out he’ll excuse himself but also call them out before he leaves
-will also roast the living hell out of them tbh
-just walks u to his home holding ur hand like the world is ending
*****
The evening with your family had been going well. Everyone got along with Rui, cracking jokes once in a while, and occasional chit-chat about interests they shared.
“Can you throw this out, y/n?” Your mother asked, her tone hinting it was more of a demand rather than a favor.
“Not right now ma, could I do it when I finish my food?”
“It’s a simple task! Why can’t you do it now?! You good-for-nothing-“
A voice interrupted her;
“If it’s so simple, then do it yourself,” The boy retorted.
“But-“
“You said it was a simple task, correct? I think you’re more than capable of doing it yourself.” Rui added, his signature cheeky grin sat upon his face.
This situation with your mother occurs often, and you didn’t feel like going over this for the 100th time. You got up from your chair, and without a word, you left the dining room and eventually left the house.
Rui wasn’t very pleased with your mother’s cruel way of treating you.
“If you’ll excuse me, I'll be leaving now.”
************
The both of you walked back to Rui’s place, although your mind wandered elsewhere, disregarding the boy who eyed you concerned. Your grip on his hand tightens due to your tense state, but that was quickly broken when you felt his thumb tracing small circles on your hand as an act of comfort. You glanced at him to only be met with his soft smile.

slashers with a male s/o who's scared of loving them, not because theyre big scary killers, but because they've dealt homophobia in the past and are terrified the slasher will be the same (sorry if its uncomfy, dealing w/ shit like this rn)
Aight anon, this ask is bumped to the top of the queue bc I’m here to spread the love and I will not be stopped :P
Bubba
★ If you confess your feelings to Bubba, all sweet and shy and worried, he’s gonna bundle you up into his arms and squeal in happiness. He’s loved you for so long, but he didn’t think you would feel the same. 
★ Bubba struggles with feeling worthy too, albeit for different reasons. He’s lived his life being told he’s stupid and ugly by his brothers, so he might not understand your specific circumstances but he gets it. 
★ Has only really been around his family, so the concept of being LGBT and homophobia goes over his head. He loves you, and you love him, and his family don’t give a shit so why should it matter?
★ But once you explain it all to him... yeah, Bubba’s mad. Not at you, obviously, but at the people who have made you feel like this. He’s ready to lop the head off of anyone who speaks ill of you.
★ Will absolutely reassure you whenever you’re feeling down. Bubba loves you, and he isn’t afraid to let it be known! Cuddles are his go-to cure, peppering your face with sweet kisses.
Tommy
★ He can tell something’s getting you down, so one day he corners you and forces you to explain. He thinks he’s done something wrong and it worries him.
★ You confess, and there’s a moment where Tommy’s pretty sure he’s dreaming. Or hallucinating. Because there’s now way you could love him.
★ Doesn’t understand, at first. What’s the big deal? Why would you think he would judge you? He loves you. But he knows outsiders can be cruel - look at his childhood - so he sort of understands.
★ Is sure to reassure you, and make you feel loved at all times. He can’t do anything about what people have already said, but he can make sure he’s there to soothe your pain.
Jason
★ Poor lad doesn’t get romance at all, bless him, so he really doesn’t understand what the big deal about loving a man is.
★ His Mother never cared when Jason was young and crushed on one of the other boys at camp. So why should he care now? Besides, the only “visitors” end up dead so there isn’t anyone around to be cruel any more.
★ Will absolutely listen to your concerns, and do his best to make you feel better. He can’t talk to you about it, so he does his best to show you his love through actions!
★ But if a certain victim does happen to see you two and say anything... their dead is gonna be extra brutal.
Vincent
★ He understands your concerns - he didn’t come out to Bo until he was an adult, and even now he gets nervous. So yeah, Vincent understands why you’re scared.
★ He’s a little hurt, at first, that you think he would judge you. But he doesn’t tell you that, because he knows it isn’t personal so much as it is anxiety and past experience.
★ Even so, he’s delighted when you finally confess! He’s just a bundle of nerves and love and can’t believe he’s lucky enough to have you love him too. He’s quick to reassure you, wrapping you in an enormous hug.
★ Will defend you at all costs. Even if it’s his brothers saying something rude, he’ll be down to fight them for your honour. 
Bo
★ Bo knows he’s an asshole, but he’s still offended that you think he’d judge you for being into guys. In fact, he’s so offended that at first he doesn’t realise this is a literal fucking love confession.
★ Once he realises though, oh he’s gonna melt. Few people get to see Bo vulnerable but in that moment he doesn’t care. He’ll hug you, kiss you, tell you he’s loved you for so long.
★ More aggressively defensive than Vincent. He will kick ass and will kill in your defence. No one disrespects him or his loved one.
★ Prepare to be constantly showered in love. Just... behind closed doors. Bo is a private man, but he still wants you to know you’re appreciated.
