Here's the duos for Aries and his exes!
All duo credit goes to kyoumeikaitou on Neka.cc
-
Troy (11) and Gwyar (12). Were both each other’s first partners ever and they were so cute and innocent during this one. Awww. Much like most relationships of those ages though, they ended up deciding they were better as friends.
-
Smith (15) and Aries (13). Do I even need to say anything? It was terrible. Manipulation of all kinds, abuse of all kinds, drugging, and just overall a terrible relationship.
-
Troy (13) and Aries (14). Despite agreeing they should simply be friends, they ended up getting back together when they got a bit older because feelings resurfaced… Not really. Actually, what happened is that Aries was still vulnerable from Smith’s death and struggling with resurfacing feelings for Troy. Meanwhile Troy was starting to step into his ability of emotion manipulation and things spiraled. Troy ended up cheating on Aries and Aries eventually snapped. They had a huge argument and broke up.
-
Derrick (17) and Aries (15). After staying with Derrick for a while, Aries vulnerable from Troy and Smith, these two ended up together. Kind of. Aries was never actually certain of his own feelings for Derrick and Derrick didn’t really care about him. To the point where, through his parents, Derrick got a hold of Tyrgrim and Gunnr’s contact information and ended up selling Aries to them. Basically.
-
Quincy (17) and Aries (16). Aries met Quincy through a very unorthodox way but due to exactly that, they ended up kicking it off very well. They got together and Quincy was great, other than disappearing without a word and scaring Aries half to death every other month (or even more often). That being said, these two were cute and happy whenever that stuff wasn’t going on. Until Quincy disappeared and left a note saying he wasn’t coming back.
-
Aries (17) and Troy (16). Turns out Troy’s mom had moved and then kicked Troy out a while back. So, he did what anyone would’ve done. Found the person he cheated on and emotionally manipulated them into getting back with him because he’d totally die without their help. Yeah… And then things got worse after Troy learned about the dehumanization trauma. Because he started using it to his advantage too. He went from emotionally manipulative to, well, that still. But also controlling and possessive. And a cheating bastard again. Only now, if Aries ever confronted him about anything, Troy had dehumanization on his side. Literal luck is how they ended up breaking up. Aka, Troy’s mom decided to let him come back if he wanted to. Which he did, and he broke up with Aries in the process because his mom kicking him out was literally the only reason he went to Aries in the first place. No more use for Aries, basically.
-
Jakob (17) and Aries (17). Do I even… Sure, why not. Aries met Jakob a week or so after having killed Chile, when he could no longer take the guilt and tried to take his own life. Instead, he met Jakob, who stopped him from doing anything (and learned about quite a bit of trauma in the process such as Smith’s death, the arena, and Chile’s death). After a bit, they got together, and Aries sort of depended on him as his sole reason to even live anymore. That being said, Jakob quickly ended up being abusive. Savior complex of thinking he can do whatever he wants because he kept Aries from killing himself. That, and his anger issues definitely didn’t help. Manipulation of all kinds to keep Aries, abuse of all kinds, intoxicating, and so much dehumanization. They didn’t break up for a while. The way they did sucks too though. The arena (the Doctor) was tired of the injuries Aries had from Jakob and basically just got him to kill Jakob. Yeah…
-
Aries (19) and Troy (18). Are you asking yourself how or why Troy came back? Well, uh. His mom kicked him out again. Thus, Troy went back to Aries and Aries being the emotionally compromised and traumatized guy that he is, was very quick to welcome him back. Unfortunately, Troy took everything he was doing last time and just doubled down on it. More dehumanization, more manipulation, more possession, more control, more abuse in general, and still plenty of cheating. It got so bad this time that it actually did end up physically abusing a few times. Not enough for the arena to step in though. Instead, Troy ended up getting an offer to stay with his dad so he just up and left.
-
Emeria (28) and Khorne (21). Welcome to the relationships from after the complete conditioning of the arena. So much dehumanization. Like, it’s almost all dehumanization. Oh, and you remember how it was mentioned that if an audience member told/asked you anything, you had to listen? Yeah. That includes this stuff. Not with minors though, again, the arena isn’t that terrible. Anyways, Emeria had actually been interested in Khorne for a while, but hadn’t gotten the OK from her on-off significant others Moacir and Achaia. Despite the dehumanization, she didn’t do much else other than be her dominatrix self. She did try to use the same principles in it as with any other partner, and technically Khorne agreed to follow the same principles, but well- Turns out a conditioned to ‘perfection’, heavily traumatized Khorne isn’t really good at following through with that.
-
Achaia (22) and Khorne (21). Technically speaking, whenever Achaia helps the workers, it’s medical storage or something similar. So she’s seen Khorne more than just from being in the audience. Regardless, she met Khorne due to Emeria. While still being an incredibly dehumanizing partner, she wasn’t that interested in him other than romantically, and even that was only slight. She mostly just bragged about him in a similar way one might brag about something they own.
-
Moacir (25) and Khorne (21). He met Khorne through Emeria, and outside of watching him from the audience, he had never really seen Khorne. That being said, definitely the worst out of the three. Dehumanizing, drugging, intoxicating, and quite a bit of abuse because he knew he could get away with doing so— Yeah, definitely not good. And a bit of manipulation with his other partners to excuse his treatment of Khorne to them.

Truly, I had a lot of fun making all of these. Enjoy!
