Description
Let's remember, Blossom has a dark side. Though it's subtle, it is very, very real. Her morals are largely based on who is watching and who she is trying to impress. Her compassion only goes as far as her own victory allows; her delicacy is thrown to the wind in many cases, replaced completely with brutality. Aku, the God of Evil, would not be ignorant to this darker side. In fact, it could be this very dark side that first draws him to Blossom.

And what of Blossom's attraction to Aku? Therein lies the real danger, the real darkness. Blossom has made an effort to ignore her darker side, an effort to reassure herself that what she does is for the greater good. But remember, she walks the very thin tight rope that all heroes must walk. The weight of the world is on her shoulders. Her personal desires have to be squelched in the name of that same greater good that justifies her means. Aku...Aku could change that.

If Aku could take up the full responsibility of fulfilling her need to be loved, Blossom could give in to her darkness. There would be no further excuse to justify her semi-psychopathic tendencies.Furthermore, if Aku is fully responsible for loving her--for validating her--Blossom could potentially go all the way down into the darkness to make him happy. Blossom thrives to please those who love her; she goes out of her way to secure that love and make sure she never loses it. If someone could prove they would love her more than anyone else, there is little to nothing she wouldn't do for that person.

After seeing NanakoBlaze doodle here i decided to redo the pic from the manifesto series
