“Darling, as smart as you are, I must admit that this particular decision was not one of your finest,” Zhongli says softly at your bedside, kneeling down next to you. Technically it’s his bedside since you are resting at his house, but he insists what is his is yours as well. You cough weakly, smiling at your lover.

“I know, ‘Li. It was pretty stupid of me to try and help transport goods through a storm, huh?” You chuckle self-depreciatively and his brow furrows. 

“No. Not stupid, but rather quite kind and brave.” He hums, carding his large hands through your hair gently. “I’m impressed with your determination to help others…but not at the expense of yourself. I will always admire that trait.” He admits, pressing small kisses to the hand wrapped around his.

“I swear I didn’t expect to get sick! Honest!” You exclaim and he nods rather indulgently.

“Yes, yes. I know, but please, take an umbrella or some sort of cover with you next time. You were soaked to the bone.” He points out and you sigh, relaxing further into his impossibly soft cushions. “Or…perhaps ask me to come with you? I’d love to spend more time with you, even if it’s struggling through harsh weather.” You blink at his subtle poking, turning to smile fondly at him.

“You were working with Hu Tao, I didn’t want to bother you.” You say and he clicks his tongue in disapproval.

“I was only doing paperwork then and Hu Tao would have surely understood. I could simply ask her for another favor, my dear.”

“Mr. ‘Li, don’t think I don’t know about how many favors you owe Hu Tao.”

“...Ah, It appears I am unable to hide anything from you at all. Well, what’s one more? If it’s for you, then I wouldn’t mind a thousand favors to that child.” He smiles warmly, tapping your nose with a light finger. You giggle, and Zhongli sighs quietly in contentment.

If he could freeze this moment forever he would. Engrave it permanently in stone so that forever exists for both of you. Eternity is a long time, but he doesn’t mind spending it with you.

You shiver suddenly, even buried under all the blankets Zhongli has you wrapped up in. You pray to Morax (somewhat ironically, knowing that your lover is the god himself and can probably hear it) that he hasn’t noticed. Unfortunately, he only sends you a slightly amused look and you groan.

“It seems you cannot hide anything from me either.” He chuckles, and you pout exaggeratedly. He hums lowly, standing up and dusting off his slightly rumpled clothing. “If you do not mind, I’d like it if I could join you in bed. Do you object?” He asks, giving you a loving peck on the cheek.

“Of course not. How could I?” You laugh and he huffs lightly against your skin. The bed beside you dips down and you feel his warm limbs wrap snugly around your middle.

“Perhaps you won’t shiver now that I am here?” Zhongli asks hopefully, burying his nose in your neck. You turn around with some difficulty so that you are facing him.

“Maybe, but I don’t mind either way. I still get cuddles.” You say matter of factly and Zhongli chuckles, the low timbre of his voice making shivers crawl up your spine. 

“Hmm? Cuddles you say?” He asks playfully, before gently placing a hand over your eyes. “One moment my dear. I don’t want the light to hurt your eyes.” You feel him…shift, his form growing bigger and his hand growing larger, When he retracts his palm, you see that he’s changed.

Golden marks run up and down his skin like shining waterfalls and a pair of magnificently crafted horns sit atop his head, growing from somewhere behind his hairline. You caress them and he leans into your touch, enjoying the feeling of your hands on the smooth structure.

“I’ve seen you like this before, but I don’t think I’ll ever get over how beautiful you look.” You confess and his cheeks redden slightly. He coughs lightly, before pressing his lips carefully to the crown of your head.

“My dear, I am flattered. Thank you.” Zhongli murmurs and you can feel him smiling against your skin. You blink when you feel something wrap around your ankle. It’s fluffy tip and scaly texture clues you in that it’s just your draconic lover’s tail, curling sweetly around your leg.

He nudges you closer to his body, and you melt into his embrace, feeling him nibble lightly on your shoulder and neck. His teeth graze lightly against your cheeks and you stifle a small laugh at the ticklish feeling.

“Hey..! Ah, come on, ‘Li, you know we’re never going to sleep if you keep doing that.” You smile, and he hums in acknowledgment.

“I know, dearest. Forgive me though, as you’ve been in bed for most of the day and I feel a lack of your daily affection.” He replies, before planting sweet little kisses on your face. Zhongli inhales deeply, his instincts swelling up with pride.

You are completely covered in his scent and his mark. His possessiveness is somewhat immature, as no one will be able to detect his claims other than some of the adepti (and they know quite well that you're his) but it makes his chest rumble with happiness. 

Zhongli is over 6000 years old, but he thinks that being immature is alright in moderation. Plus his darling human doesn’t deserve a cold and totally serious potential husband.

(When he says potential, he means he’s already got a ring and a mile-long proposal speech memorized to whip out of his pocket at any given moment.)

You snuggle into his chest and he rests his chin on top of your head, tangling his legs around yours. You smile slightly to yourself at the faint vibrations rumbling through his body and he curls his body around yours protectively.

“My darling?”

“Yes, ‘Li?”

“Please do tell me the next time you go out in unfavorable weather. I’d like to prevent another illness. Only Morax knows how hard you push yourself sometimes...”

“...Wait, ‘Li aren’t you…?”

“Shh, my sweet. Let us go to bed now.”

“No, wait, Zhongli wake up! Did you just address yourself--”

An: I love the old dragon grandpa he’s so cute

[your-local-hoemie]

Hi! Can i request childe and zhongli (seperate) coming home to his beloved overworked and slumped over her desk?

Omg I get to write geo papi :D watch me work my brain juices for ya!

Warnings: fluffffff, a tiny bit of angst in childes if you squint again because I can’t help myself, Concerned boys, not proof-read, established relationships, gn! Reader (I know you said “her” in the request but I wanna keep it gn for everyone’s enjoyment if that’s ok aaaaaa.)

Characters: Childe, Zhongli

No I didn’t get carried away hahaha….hah

···

Childe~

He doesn’t understand at first lmfao

Mans constantly working so like? Isn’t this normal??

Honestly you might be helping him stop for a bit too

Gets very concerned :(

Might think you’ve died for a split second

Once he realised you’re fine he’ll make sure you’re moved to a comfier place like the bed or couch

Try to protest. I dare you.

He’ll probably arrange for one of his subordinates to complete any work you had left just to make sure you can rest

I also dare anyone to protest against a harbinger for finishing your work :)

You had been assigned a bunch of documents from Yanfei to go over after being transferred to her for extra work experience in Liyue before officially graduating.

At first your couldn’t be more optimistic about the workload telling yourself that it’s all worth it in the long run after years of studying law!

That lasted maybe a good four days before the lack of sleep and neglect to eat and drink properly started kicking in.

Raising your head you looked up from the paperwork checking the time. 4:30am. Groaning you raked your fingers through your hair, dragging them down your face trying to keep yourself grounded.

But much to your dismay no matter how hard you tried to keep your eyes open and your head free of fatigue, your body decided to finally take charge and before you can even protest, your head lowered to the table as your heavy eyes finally closed and took the rest they needed.

Meanwhile your beloved boyfriend, childe. Eleventh of the fatui harbingers, had finally got home after endless hours of his own work as a “toy maker”. He never told you about his true occupation, always worried it would put you in harms way or make you scared of him.

Opening the door to your house, making his way up to your bedroom he didn’t actually expect to see you awake being so early in the morning so when he saw the bed untouched and you nowhere in sight he’d be lying if he didn’t feel a twinge of dread run down his spine.

“Babe? Where are you?”

Picking up his pace he’d hurry around the house opening each door, his bow appearing in his hand from anxiety.

Reaching the finally room of your home he swung the door open only to find you slumped over your desk surrounded by paperwork.

Almost running over to your side he dropped to his knee’s placing his hand on your back almost like you’d break under his touch he softly shook you taking comfort in feeling your soft, deep breaths under his touch.

“Hmm? Childe?”

Raising your head groggily you look at your boyfriend for a moment trying to piece together the situation while rubbing your still heavy, sleepy eyes.

“Archons Y/N, you almost gave me a heart attack! Why aren’t you asleep In bed!?”

Giggling sleepily you tried your best to explain the situation all while still feeling the heavy pull of sleep in your body not noticing the soft, if not concerned smile appearing across his face.

Letting out a sigh he gathered you in his arms lifting you up with ease, he carried you to the bedroom placing you down on the bed before pulling you tightly into his arms kissing your forehead.

“No more work for you love”

You were pretty confused to later find out you somehow still managed to finish all the paperwork before passing out even though you swore there was still a pile to go through~

Zhongli~

Oh he already knew.

You thought you were slick? You fool.

From the moment he laid eyes on the workload given to you all the way to your first yawn

He knew

He’d try to make it easier on you, knowing your stubbornness

Brings you fruit and tea every so often

Don’t be surprised if you get a nice back massage too~

Once he thinks it’s gone on for far too long he will take action and there won’t be a damn thing you can do

He’s a ex god. Come on.

If he thinks you should rest then you’re gonna rest

To bed with you

Lots of cuddles and head pats! Maybe even humming if he thinks it’ll help you relax

He won’t do your work for you, he doesn’t have the heart to risk ruining your hard work but he will help you if you seem like you’re struggling!

Much to no one’s surprise, Hu Tao had ever so kindly managed to gather a ever increasing collection of complaints from the citizens of Liyue from her persistent shenanigans that you’d be hard pushed not to find at least a little disturbing, leaving you to deal with the mountain on papers to sort through.

The moment zhongli caught wind of what had been keeping you so occupied from your routine walk through the harbour he was irritated to say the least.

After having a word with Hu Tao that was borderline passive aggressive he immediately stopped by the market picking up the best fruit he could find (much to Childe’s dismay) along with your favourite snacks.

Meanwhile you had enclosed yourself in your office, pondering your life choices while using all the strength you had to stay focused.

How long has it been since you started? When was the last time you ate? Questions hardly noticeable floated around the back of your mind as you intently ignored the pangs in your stomach and the worsening migraine growing across your head.

Letting out a frustrated sigh you finish reading a particularly rude letter sent in only to turn the page over by chance just to see that the paragraphs contained on the other side.

Finally snapping under the stress you lay your head down in defeat on the desk, tears threatening to run from your eyes and soak the papers under your head as you feel your body take over and force you to close them at last.

It wasn’t too long before you woke up in a mild state of panic before noticing a plate of beautifully arranged fruit, a warm cup of tea sitting beside you and a blanket draped over your aching back.

“Ah, you have finally awoken. Forgive me dear but I couldn’t bring myself to wake you from your much needed slumber so I took the liberty to prepare you some food”

God I love writing his funky little words

“Zhongli? H-how long have you been there?? What time is it!?”

“Hush now. No need to get worked up over such trivial things, you still have plenty of time to continue your work but I must remind you that rest and recuperation is an essential part to such dealings”

With that you find him dragging a chair next to you. letting out a deep chuckle he turned you towards him gentle pushing your head down to his lap as his fingers stroked through strands of hair. (If you’re bald then just ignore this part💀)

“Rest for now my dear, I shall assist you in this mess when you have recovered”

Not daring to protest against his authoritative tone, you close your eyes feeling your body melt at his touch.

Maybe a little rest wouldn’t hurt after all~

Bruh writing in zhongli’s fancy words is so fun I feel so sophisticated *sticks pinkie out and sips tea*

┗━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━┛

Kaeya:

i think we all agree that he's an ass man. he'll stare at your ass with no shame whatsoever, even if he's caught. "that's a whole buffet right there, babe," he says, as he slaps your ass and giggles. speaking of, he always has to keep a hand on your ass if he's drinking in a bar - it just gently rests in the back pocket of your jeans. might actually cum a bucket if you reverse cow-girl him, and the said position gives him a bit of contemplation, whether he wants to rip your panties apart or leave them, hmm, it's the third one this week, but you won't mind, right? Kaeya is surely big on lingerie, and if you combine it with his obsession with ass - especially one that defines your cheeks - you might want to take a day off.. oh! also, he'll purposely drop ANYTHING to make you bend down.

the cavalry captain observes you as you hastily serve drinks in Angel's Share - you've promised Diluc to help during the Christmas party that the tavern runs every year. his sapphire eyes follow your figure right and left, as he finishes yet another shot of the holiday special - glaring at the drunkards that blatantly stare at your adorable, Santas-adorned skirt, which seemed way too short for this type of celebration. feeling his patience running out, he stands up from his seat and approaches you, wrapping his hands around your waist and bringing you closer. "oh my, who do we have here?" kaeya giggles, pushing one, lonely strand of hair behind your ear, "why must you tease me so much, snowflake? and during christmas, out of all holidays?" he pouts, the hand sliding from your waist to grab a handful of your plush ass roughly. feeling his breath closer and closer and his fingers slipping past your panties, a certain redhead attempts to de-escalate the situation, nudging his brother with an elbow and nodding his head - red eyes focused on the bathroom, "don't make too much noise."

Ayato:

this man is a LEG MAN and I do not accept anything else. His brain starts acting up as soon as you wear heels, show your legs or thighs in any way, just seeing how that thigh highs hug you so, so perfectly, he feels his cock twitch in his pants. Expect many secret leg touches under kotatsu or tables, to have you, his pretty wife all dolled up next to him during the important meetings, being the obedient little one and trying not to moan, as his hand plays a dangerous game near your core. Nothing works to make him pay attention to other parts of your body, say - you're wearing booty shorts? Oh, but would you look at how your legs seem way longer and more delicious? He's absolutely going to devour and worship your legs, even if you're wearing an innocent Santa costume with long, red dress. He's obsessed about buying you cute tights, thigh highs, especially on occasions like holidays - candy cane themed, raindeers, snowflakes - everything he lays his eyes on is going to your shared closet.

"Go ahead, love - try them on for me. Good, now sit on my lap," Ayato's eyes wander to your legs, eyeing them in their entirety, up from the thighs, all the way down to your ankles before you come closer, slowly riding up your crimson skirt, "We need to try them out, right?" His hand caresses your knee softly, the delicate material of the white tights decorated with gingerbread men feels too good against his palm, almost too good, but you can't miss his wide pupils and how his lower lip disappears between his teeth. not long after, you find yourself sprawled on the bed, your cunt clenching around his dick; ayato pounds into you while your legs are pressed to his chest and shoulders, kneading your breasts delicately.

Itto:

the one and oni could never fully decide - that's why he settled down with breasts and tummy. no matter what, if you wear a revealing t-shirt or dress, there is no way to prevent his eyes from shamelessly staring at your chest for at least solid 5 minutes. Itto never pressures you to wear something for him (that'd be a bit hypocritical lol), but if you decide to tease him - if your chest is on the bigger side and the oni notices the way your breasts are pressed together, it takes him (pinching hand emoji) this close to ripping the clothing off and start marking your tits with love bites. BUT! if you're on the smaller side - he absolutely doesn't mind! he actuallly encourages you to go braless! totally not because whenever he catches a glimpse of your hardened nipples, he's immediately about to start sucking on them, regardless if he's in public or not.. his fixation on your nipples might one day get him in trouble.

as you adjust the tinsel above the crackling fireplace, you feel large hands envelop your stomach - someone familiar approaches you from behind, "that's a nice sweater you have, lil bug," itto's massive palms rub your tummy gently, only to swiftly go under the warm, green knitwear with a snowman and graze your bare skin with his claws, "but there's somethin' about it," he bends down and latches his lips on your neck, sucking bruises and soothing them with his tongue. his hands make his way up to your bra, cutting the material in half with his sharp, inky nail, "it's in the goddamn way."

Xiao:

the yaksha has taken a strong liking to your hands, preferably bare, hungry for skin-to-skin contact after so many years of facing loneliness. though, each time his golden eyes follow your hand movements, even innocent ones - sinful thoughts begin to flood his mind - how your pretty hands stroke his cock each time you get intimate, the way your hands get lost in his hair when your tongues dance together. xiao's breath hitches in his throat as he watches your palm slide down his chest to get under his tight shirt, only to slide back up and tease his hard pe-- he shakes his head and sighs in defeat, clutching the jade spear. either way, there's no doubt xiao will become putty in your grasp as soon as you brush your thumb over his lower lip.

liyue has finally welcomed winter - the snow has fallen, along with the temperature. the frost clings tightly to the window, but xiao - he finds himself getting hotter and hotter with every minute that passes. he swallows harshly, observing you naked before him, lying on the bed with your legs spread - you tease him by gliding your hand over your breasts. xiao grips the sheets tightly as soon as you pinch one of your nipples and moan his name; his eyes immediately fall onto your wet pussy, malachite brows furrowing at the sight of your glistening folds. he watches as your hands roam around your body sensually touching yourself, the fairy lights reflecting various colors in your eyes... he's patient, but seeing you play lazily with your clit, smearing your juices all over your slit and finally, finally inserting them inside you seems like he cannot wait any longer.

Diluc:

he's truly addicted to your neck and will not deny it. i don't just mean only intimate sessions, no - he's so crazy about it, that to him neck kisses are the equivalent of cheek kisses. when you greet him, you don't turn your cheek to him, you tilt your head to the side only to feel his warm lips on your neck and vermilion hair tickling your shoulder. if diluc doesn't make new love bites, he absolutely presses gentle, wet kisses onto the already-existing ones, letting out quiet whimpers from time to time. he waits (im)patiently for them to heal, only to feel his mouth water at the sight of your now clean neck, staring at it for a bit too long and replaying the previous sessions of marking you in his mind. diluc goes overboard sometimes - and the only way to physically stop him from locking his lips on your neck is to wear turtlenecks.

the glass squeaks slightly as you carefully polish it with a cloth - it's currently rush hour at Angel's Share - the Christmas special sold out almost immediately, and the tavern is filled with loud laughs, chatter, and occasional yelling. you see Kaeya leaving his seat with a prominent blush and a slight scowl on his face, walking towards the new staff member. you shrug it off, picking up his empty shot glass to begin cleaning it, but the sudden hug from behind and the weight on your shoulder stop you. "it's cold today, isn't it?" diluc smirks and nuzzles into your neck - or rather the material that covers it - one of his hands travel to tug it down, to give him the access to the forbidden fruit he's been dying to bite since you arrived. his lips pepper small kisses on your hickeys, almost apologetically; you feel him push himself on you more, locking you between him and the counter. diluc's tongue traces the bruises he's made a few days prior, leaving a wet track of saliva and trying badly not to let out the moan he's been holding. "diluc," you say his name silently, earning only a hum from him, "your brother is about to have sex on that table."

Alhaitham:

he was the only one to genuinely and quite nonchalantly admit that your lips are his favorite, and then went back to casually reading his book. it makes sense now - all the subtle glances at your lips whenever you are near him, always kissing away the tiny bits of food stuck on them, noticing your new lip glosses or lipsticks. alhaitham is a private person - therefore, he only gives a few kisses in public, but at home - he loves making out with you as much as possible; he can't wait to feel your lips after spending a whole day at the akademiya. he can't wait to brush his thumb over your lips, to gently work his mouth over yours, to cradle your face and lick your lower lip and silently ask for permission to deepen the kiss. it doesn't matter if you're just doing the laundry or cooking - he WILL lick off that strawberry lip gloss you've bought. the scribe generally doesn't care much about where your lips are on his body - be it his neck, cheeks, or lips - his only weakness is seeing your pretty mouth near his cock.

it's hard to say what alhaitham likes more - your mouth sucking his cock, or straight up having it messily played with by your lips. he adores the way his stiff length disappears in your mouth, but also, he's trying his best not to cum while watching you kiss his cock. in fact, you don't have to suck him off to make him cum - the sheer view of you making out with his dick while whimpering against it might be just enough. he can't wait to return the favor - to smear your essence all over his lips and dive in for a kiss later. hopefully kaveh doesn't mind all that noises while decorating the chrismas tree.

Dainsleif:

oh my god. someone stop him before he passes out between your thighs. if dainsleif was about to die, that's the only acceptable place. but in a more serious tone, he ridiculously loves your thighs to the point that he cannot stop touching them when you're alone with him. though, he does like to keep his hand on your thigh if you're in public, perhaps in a tavern. he doesn't overstep but does like to tease you and rub his hand back and forth, slipping his hand toward your center occasionally, chuckling to himself after you seal his hand between the soft flesh of your legs. he could spend an eternity worshipping your thighs, in a way - he's very similar to diluc; ready to mark your thighs with his love bites, kiss them, lick them, bite the sweet skin lightly. dain religiously gives you oral on almost every occasion, hoping to feel your thighs squeeze his head tightly as you cum on his tongue.

if there's anything else that dain's mind goes blank almost immediately for - it's the thigh fucking. he feels his head spin as he fucks your thighs, using your cum as lube; you clench around nothing seeing his cock head peek and disappear as he thrusts into you. dainsleif tries to keep his composure, but his face betrays him: the furrowed brows, full-blown out pupils, his teeth gritting, hissing at the pleasure, desperately trying to enjoy the supple skin longer. little does he know, he's about to paint your thighs white.

Zhongli:

although it didn't seem as strange before, the geo archon has bought you many rings. his face always lights up and he extends his arm to gently caress the new rings with his thumb, before bringing your hand to his lips and pressing a soft kiss on top of it, and then each finger. after countless innocent suggestions to stop wearing gloves, having his hand on top of yours and having him absentmindedly playing with your fingers - you've guessed right, zhongli does indeed like your fingers the most. he smiles sweetly as he compliments your new nail polish - but behind that smile, deep down, his brain imagines those pretty fingers trying to grip his fat dick and not being able to connect with each other due to his size. he can't wait to suck them and see your pussy flutter as you fuck yourself with his spit on your fingers.

he wouldn't have ever guessed that this is what truly makes gets him going; yet, Zhongli found himself playing with you like a toy. he has you sat on his lap with your back pressed to his chest; your entrance is soaked already, tiny beads of sweat on your naked body begin to appear. his immense geo-infused hand with gold veins envelops yours, and he can't help but adore the purity of your own. he slides both of your hands together past your breasts, stopping at your tummy to turn your head slightly and kiss you with his split tongue; he swallows your moan as he guides the hands again onto your slit, rubbing it affectionately. you intertwine your other hand with Zhongli's unoccupied one and gasp, feeling his hand circle your clit with your own fingers, shortly before letting go and entering your hot cunt with his.

Bonus blurb~!

Thoma:

this poor thing sees your pussy and is instantly gone. everything about it makes him stop in his tracks when dirty thoughts appear - thinking how prettily your panties outline your pussy, being able to see your pussy lips hidden in your underwear when you bend down because ayato just dropped something by complete accident... thoma can't take his eyes off you as he enters you, watching your hole take him entirely, his mind racing and hoping to hear the squelching sounds from your soaking cunt. he has a habit of gently slapping your pussy with his hard cock, grinding between your pussy lips - but he asked nicely, so please let him! thoma also worships your pussy and hopes you don't mind him making out with your clit and your tight hole, desperately trying to swallow your juices so nothing goes to waste. he tries to get some friction and grinds against the mattress, his face flushed as he laps at your pussy, holding your thighs harshly and moaning against your opening like a bitch in heat, silently urging you to pull his hair and bring his face even closer.

Xiao being tipsy in front of Aether

.

.

.

To my lovely traveller, 

The breeze combing through your hair today feels a little different, don't you think? A little sweet with a hint of grapes, right?

You must be wondering, you’re in Wangshu Inn, why would you feel my breeze? 

Hehe, that’s because I have left a gift for you. 

A few days ago, I paid a visit to this very same inn to try out their drinks, and guess who did I meet? 

If you’re guessing your beloved Vigilant Yaksha, you’re correct! Though he declined my offer for a few cups of drinks and company, I left him a gift and I told him this, 

“No takesies-backsies!” 

And I immediately left with the wind before he could process what’s happening. 

If you could smell it right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if you could pick a hint of sweetness in today’s wind. That’s because I left him a bottle of wine, haha! 

I know Xiao would only keep it instead of trying it, so I may have told a little lie that it may help with his karmic debt. I know, I know… it’s not good to lie about this. 

Still, wine and any kind of alcohol have been therapeutic to me. Almost like… a salvation. 

Nah, that was too strong of a word. 

So, if anything goes wrong with Xiao– in which the worst scenario is being tipsy, you can take care of him! 

How did I know you’d be here today? Well, a certain pretty bird told me– or rather, a pretty lady working in the inn told me about your upcoming visit. 

I do apologise for giving you this task which is partially my fault, but hey– at least you and Xiao can spend more time together, ehe! 

From your favourite bard, 

Venti. 

“Oh Venti…” Aether folds the letter neatly, letting out a sigh of resignation. 

Though, Paimon doesn’t notice the upward curve on Aether’s lips. 

“Hmm… Paimon doesn’t get why that tone-deaf bard is doing this,” Paimon says as Paimon floats in the air, munching on some cookies. “But we should check up on Xiao to see if he’s okay.” 

“Paimon, why don’t you let me handle this one?” Aether asks. 

“But Paimon wants to help!” Paimon stomps her feet in the air. “Hmph! You always leave Paimon alone when it comes to stuff like this! Paimon is not nosy, Paimon is just concerned!” 

“I know, Paimon…” Aether lets out a sigh once again. 

It’s just that you always say the wrong things at the wrong time… 

Aether could never forget that moment when Paimon, out of concern, asked about Navia’s parents whereabouts… even when Navia had told them both that they passed away years ago! 

Or how Paimon was so rude to Furina that Aether almost wanted to knock Paimon’s head. 

Paimon totally though you were just a bit of a diva at first. 

Oh, sounds like you’re really struggling to cope…  Ah, there it is. You don’t know how to cook! 

Oh… Right, Paimon totally forgot both your parents are dead. 

Even with that faint recollection, Aether’s ears feel red from remembering these moments. It wasn’t the first time for Paimon to say such insensitive words, and Aether is sure it wouldn’t be the last. 

“Paimon, why don’t you go and order some food?” 

“But–” 

Aether quickly brings up a small bag of mora from his inventory, shutting Paimon up instantly. The moment Paimon could hear the clinking sound of coins in the pouch, her eyes were shimmering like the stars tonight. 

“Thank you Aether!” Paimon gives Aether a hug that almost choked his neck, then grabs the bag of mora and finds herself a seat in Wangshu Inn to order what Paimon wants for today’s dinner. 

As soon as Paimon is out of his sight, the golden-haired traveller walks up to the lady named Verr Goldet, who is wearing a traditional, dark red, Liyue overcoat with gold accents and a chunky orange bracelet on each of her arms. 

“Welcome, traveller.” She smiles at him, just like how she would to any customers. “What’ll you have? We have dishes from both Mondstadt and Liyue, and our Almond Tofu is particularly popular.” 

“Then, I’d like a dish of almond tofu, please.” 

A few minutes later, the dessert is right in his hands. It has a silky-smooth texture with a long-lasting aroma of almond. Perfect for the adepti. 

He then quickly walks up to the inn’s topmost floor, where customers could see the whole view of Liyue: Rocky mountains that stands tall and proud alongside the stone forests, the open plains and lively rivers make up Liyue's bountiful landscape, all of which shows its unique beauty through each of the four seasons. 

As Aether could only hear the soft breeze, he called out a name, softly. 

“Xiao?” 

“You called my name, traveller. What do you need assistance with?” Aether quickly turns around to find the Vigilant Yaksha appearing in front of him, with hints of wispy black smoke. The first thing Aether instantly notices is the tint of blush around Xiao’s ears and cheeks. 

 “If… you don’t need anything, then I shall take my leave right now once and for all. I don’t have time for your mortal ideals, humans do waste my time–” 

“Wait! I called you because…” Aether takes a deep breath before he continues, stretching out his hands to show him the dish. After all, he didn’t want Xiao to disappear on him again, which the yaksha would always disappear with a wispy black green smoke behind. 

Truly a signature move. 

“I want to give you almond tofu and… I’d like you to stay for a bit.” 

 “Huh? Almond tofu?” That made the Vigilant Yaksha’s ears perk up, raising an eyebrow. He looks up and down, both to Aether and the delectable dish in his hands. “So, you just want me to stay in your presence…?”

Aether’s eyes shine bright like a puppy, twinking with pity. 

“Oh, fine. But only this once.” 

Settling himself onto a stool, the Vigilant Yaksha slowly chews onto his plate of almond tofu, savouring its silky sweetness. Meanwhile, the traveller sat right next to him, smugly stares at Xiao’s tipsy state as he continues to chew onto the tofu. Aether’s eyes follows the gentle movement of Xiao’s hands as he brought the porcelain spoon to his mouth, savouring each bite of his meal. 

“Why are you staring at me like this?” Xiao asks, noticing Aether’s burning stare on his left cheek. “You’re staring at me weirdly while I’m eating, I dislike it… I demand you to stop.” 

A soft smile grace Aether’s lips, reflecting the joy he found in simply being in his presence. He admires the way Xiao savoured the almond tofu, the way his eyes would gradually light up with delight at every delicious morsel.

“Traveller… you’re being very, very quiet tonight.” Xiao puts his spoon down on the finished plate. “You really want me to stay, huh?” 

All Aether could do was to prop his chin up with the heel of his hand, smiling at him in return. In that moment, Xiao could feel the traveller’s eyes lingering on his face, tracing every line, etching each detail into his memory: The flustered, furious blush, the prickling heat fanning across his chest and creeping up his neck, along with his clenched fists under the table.

“Fine, so be it.” Xiao quickly turns his head to avoid the traveller’s gaze, hiding his own expression. “I shall stay by your side, just… just this once.”

Ba-bump! Ba-bump! Ba-bump! 

“...What is this feeling?” Xiao mutters the question to himself. “Why am I… feeling like this?”

Heart, I demand you to stop feeling like this! NOW!

Letting his guard down, Aether gently holds Xiao’s chin with his fingers, turning his head to face each other, his touch tender and affectionate. 

“Oh Xiao~~” 

That only made Xiao’s face as red as a Jueyun Chili, stumbling on his sentence. “T– Traveller… Y– You c– You dare to consort me to your pleasure?! How absurd!” 

Xiao removes himself from the golden-haired hero’s hands, standing up abruptly before he tries to walk away. 

“Xiao, you know I wouldn’t do something like this.” He could feel that the traveller's words were firm from behind. “You’re blushing, by the way.” 

“Enough!” Xiao puts his hand to his chest, clutching onto the fabric of his uniform. He could not stop his heart from fluttering like a butterfly spreading its wings when it saw a Qingxin flower. “I hate this feeling…”

“Describe it to me then, maybe I can help.” Aether’s voice is as gentle as always, and it makes Xiao’s heart pang. “Xiao, I know you’ve been holding back. You don’t have to say everything if you don’t want to, but I will listen.” 

“This feeling… uneasiness.” Xiao reluctantly replies, trying to piece his sentences in place. “Your presence isn’t scary but– it’s strange at the same time. I don’t get it, I really don’t.” 

To Xiao, he’d always ask himself this question. 

Can one who has lived in darkness dreamt of a sun? 

[moonbyunniee]

hii could i get some headcanons for childe, zhongli and kaeya with an s/o who’s love language is physical touch? (both giving & receiving)

thank you in advance !! <3 ✨

hold me close, hold you close (i'll never let go)

description ➵ genshin characters with physical touch as their love language (giving + receiving)

characters ➵ childe, zhongli, kaeya

cw ➵ fluff

a/n ➵ ooh cutecute idea my lovely <3 okay let's try and make this as non-suggestive as possible >:) enjoy!!

childe - 达达利亚 ➵

giving

childe, being the playful young man we all know him as, doesn't hesitate for a second to tease you with his touch

he'll rest his hand around your shoulders like he would his closest friend

and rub his hand in circles on your back, softly massaging you

although he's rough with his enemies, childe always goes into soft mode with you

he's very proud of you, and is a sucker for pda

this man will not miss a single opportunity to hold your hand or circle his arm around your waist, pulling you close to him

childe always giving you physical attention is partly because of his protective instincts, and partly because he craves your touch as well

"y/n, you really are adorable, huh...oh? you want cuddles? sure, why not...heheh..."

receiving

childe, as mentioned before, is a sucker for pda

especially since he hasn't seen you in a while, for example if he's been to see his family for a while or had an important ~work thing~

he'll want your touch, he'll crave your touch more than anything

childe is always on the lookout for the right time to sidle up close to you and rest his head on your shoulder

or rest your shoulder on his, it's all the same to him

give this man a head pat or a soft kiss, he'll want more and more

"y/nn...c'mere, i haven't gotten a head pat in so long..."

zhongli - 钟离 ➵

giving

the lord of geo himself is quite the gentleman

zhongli loves holding your hand especially

just imagine zhongli holding the door open for you, and offering you his hand to stand up

holding hands seems like a basic action, but zhongli has his own ways of making it feel like magic

he'll hold your hand gently but firmly, in a way that's hard to explain

zhongli will rub your hand, massaging it with his thumb as he holds it

he's so polite he'll literally apologise profusely if he needs to let go of your hand to do something

other than that, zhongli is kinda awkward around physical touch

he won't know how much is enough, and how much would make you feel uncomfortable

"y/n dear, is it alright if i just...hold your hand?"

receiving

i can't really imagine zhongli being the type to enjoy receiving physical affection as his main form of love

but he would at least enjoy taking your hand gently

and resting it on his thigh

or allowing you to rest your head on his shoulder as he runs his fingers through your hair

this man

is definitely the big spoon

or he at least prefers being the big spoon over little spoon

zhongli also loves letting you comb through his hair, as it sends literal shivers down his spine

"y-y/n...please don't stop...my hair needs a little more extra brushing..."

kaeya - 凯亚➵

giving

kaeya is physical affection

the literal epitome of pda

like childe, kaeya is really into showing you off in his own ways

the stuff he does is pretty non-pg sometimes, especially in public, i'm gonna have to leave that up to your imagination this has to be sfw ;)

he likes to tease you about everything and anything, and don't think he's gonna stop the teasing at physical affection bc he most certainly doesn't

he'll let his arms encircle your waist

letting his fingers roam around everywhere

he loves watching you squirm (in a good way) and also has the ability of stopping things right before you get uncomfortable

he's also a snuggles kinda guy, and will absolutely crave cuddle sessions where you get to rest your head on his chest, no space between the two of you

"hahah~, y/n, y/n, y/n...look who's all hot and flustered, hmm?"

receiving

the tables have turned >:)

even if your love language is physical affection, he'll literally melt if you so much as snuggle into him

he loves it when you run your fingers through his dark blue hair

and will absolutely whinge like a little child if you stop for so much as a second

he's not so cocky and wisecracking once you have the power in your hands, if you know what i mean

strange how giving kaeya a taste of his own medicine immediately makes him soft, huh ;)

he'll become pretty affectionate and kinda clingy ngl

probably bc of his past

bonus headcanon, he definitely mumbles in his sleep or when he's about to drift off

"y/n...i love you so much...just keep...hugging me...please...don't...let...go..."

[awlumii]

"can i hold your face?"

kazuha opens an eye after your sudden request, eyebrows irked upwards in mock surprise.

the two of you are sitting down a tree, your face mushed against his chest as his bandaged hand rubs random shapes on your waist out of habit. he had been quiet the whole afternoon.

this "date" was neither of you's idea: qiqi requested to be taken to the playground, but since she was so little (at least physically) two adults were requested to watch over her. and now here you are.

you had mixed feelings about this whole fake dating situation. you would have never thought that kazuha of all people would be the one to smoother you in affections whenever you made a public appearance. all his fault, really: he jokingly told qiqi that you were dating on their very first meeting and for some reason it became one of the very few things she remembered.

"why do you call them little dove?" she had asked with furrowed eyebrows "they're not a bird". kazuha grinned innocently, ignoring your hard stare: "well, because i love your big sibling a lot. and when you really love someone-" you smacked his arm before he could continue.

qiqi had hummed. "you love them?" she asked.

kazuha let his eyes meet yours, feeling a fire rise inside him at the pleading gaze you showed him. leave her out of this, your eyes said. but he smirked, sneaking a hand around your waist to tug you closer, making you fall into his arms. "yes," he answered, "i love them so much."

at first, a part of you was glad that qiqi no longer expected you to get lovey-dovey with baizhu, but you soon realised in horror that she had replaced the pharmacist with kazuha. out of everyone, it had to be kazuha.

you don't think you're one of the gods' favorites.

(when zhongli heard you mutter it under your breath, he started a monologue about the relationship between archons and mortals.)

back to the present. you headbutt kazuha's shoulder when he stays quiet: "are you gonna answer or not?". he exhales loudly in response. "why the sudden request?"

"one of the very few qualities you have is soft skin. you're squishy."

"and what are the others?"

"you're good with qiqi. and a decent kisser."

he tilts his head to the side, lips turning in a smirk: "decent?" he repeats, amused, "if a decent kisser can make you sing like i do, then perhaps your skin is much more sensitive than i thought. i'll keep that in mind."

it's your turn to huff, heat already rising to your face. kazuha notices it immediately. he tightens his hold on your waist, tugging you closer.

"aw," he taunts in your ear, "is the little bunny getting teased by evil, mean kazuha?" he fakes sympathy, caressing your cheek gently, almost as if you could break - ironically enough, it seems like breaking you is his goal.

he doesn't stop there, not even when you squirm in discomfort: his hold gets even tighter. "oh, such a poor little thing you are, all trapped in my arms. who would you run to if you could, hmm? who would save you?"

you stay quiet, reluctant to start a fight you'll most likely lose when qiqi is a few meters away from you. just stay calm, you tell yourself.

kazuha doesn't like it. or maybe he does: you have no idea. he pecks your forehead lightly and tucks your head under his chin. the only thing you hear is your heartbeat ringing in your ears.

"did 'zuha went too far?" comes a whisper from above you, accompanied by a kiss on your head, "is the crux's sweet softie going to cry?"

ah. so that was the reason of today's taunts. you wonder if one of the reason he's obsessed with making you snap is your general attitude with pretty much everyone.

you're kind, you are warmth embodied. always willing to lend a hand yet careful of who to trust. your friends always bask in your comfortable embrace whenever they have the chance, qiqi deems you as the only one who can hug and squish her without her getting uncomfortable. you're not too naïve, but you are sickeningly sweet. you tried to be sweet with him too, only to be met with violence. and when you realised he's not as innocent as others think things got even worse.

you're not going to cry today. you're not a bunny - even if you were, he doesn't deserve you fluffiness. where the hell did he get that nickname from, by the way? little one was terrible enough (simply because he saw you as weaker and more fragile than him, and didn't call you such out of adoration). what else is he going to use? fucking kitten?

"off to your own world again, it seems," kazuha muses, bandaged fingers sneaking under your shirt to touch your bare skin: you jump at the contact. he moves his head and decides to nudge your nose with his in an almost affectionate gesture,

"you can't run away physically so you-" 

"run away mentally, yes. i don't like listening to you when you're like that."

"i thought you didn't like me in general."

"your behaviour changes every single day."

"and your favorite is when i just hug you and stay quiet, isn't it? you act tough but you're just a cuddlebug."

you sigh: "you're fucking weird, dude."

usually he chuckles whenever you curse, but today he bites your nose to shut you up. when you yelp a "gah!" in surprise he licks the red spot, making you squirm even more. so much, that you somehow free yourself from his grasp and fall on the grass. he wastes no time and starts a insufferable assault on your sides, pinning your arms on the ground with a hand.

qiqi hears your laughter and turns her head to you two, hands still patting the sandcastle she made for you (only you, she decided during the construction, because the leaf guy steals qiqi's place during cuddles.)

something weird tugs qiqi's frozen heart. you're laughing. leaf guy is smiling the way that doctor baizhu describes as fondly. and yet something in qiqi tells her to step in and tell kazuha to leave you alone. at the same time, she wishes for you two to keep being together and be the parents she never had. she decides whatever she's thinking is wrong, but still runs to you two to save him from his mischievous' hands.

oh, if only she knew how right she actually is.

- hide and seek back with meanzuha brainrot. PARTICULARLY with a soft reader who really just wants to get along with him.

AAAAAAAAAAA 💗💕💗💕💗💕💗💕💗💕

[haovcrse-a]

🏹, 🕸️, 💋, 🩸, 🥀 for any of your selfships 💕💕💕

oooh ok so i spun a wheel, and we've got kazuscarahao (aka. soldier, poet, king) & zhade !!

🏹 : what is oc’s relationship with the other canon characters?

soldier, poet, king — hmmm now zhaoyi for this dynamic is also a wanderer and doesn't stick around in one place for long. however, he does have good friendships with most from liyue! being from liyue, and also someone with a slight unknown background, it's important to keep strong connections in the case he needs a helping hand. most notably, he's on good terms with the adepti xiao; well, as good as you can get with him; zhongli, beidou, ningguang, and ganyu! his reputation with the other locals isn't too shabby either.

zhade — as an honorary member of the stellaron hunters, zhao's relationship with the gang is quite familial. him and silver wolf are like those judgmental siblings at the extended family dinner lmao. kafka and zhaoyi are blade's worst nightmare due to how they bug him, not to mention the nick names...

K: bladie~

B: ...

Z: oh c'mon, darling, say smth to us, won't you?

B: ... s-shut up.

have not looked much into firefly's character tbh besides what ive read in the story, but the calm duo !! also the deadly duo when in battle like seriously. if you thought blade and zhao were unstoppable, wait until you see firefly and zhao's team work (canon wise. idk about in-game wise)

🕸️ : any song that reminds you of your ship?

S.P.K. — obv soldier, poet, king ( the oh hellos ) but !! a different one would be maybe blood // water ( grandson ) for the sole reason that this is my "angry at the world; holding on for each other" vibes ship.

zhade — omg... pretty please ( dutch melrose, benny mayne ) is so them coded it's unbelievable... the lyrics... also maybe changgwi ( aha ye eun ) or achilles come down ( gang of youths ) !! the lore for this ship isn't fully developed, but it's like. deep-ish.

💋: what motifs/symbols do you associate with your ship?

S.P.K. — burnt sugar // bruised knuckles // the north star // broken compasses // tree roots // paper boats // old books // hands tangled in someone’s hair // convenience stores at night // instant ramen packs // undone ties & wrinkled button ups

zhade — talked about here !

🩸 : what does your oc think of canon character?

did a little thought process of first impressions for both vs now instead of a whole timeline since the spk timeline is a little… hard to map out TwT

S.P.K. — “a stowaway? hmm… if beidou’s alright with him… then i suppose i should be too. as long as he doesn’t get too close.” // “what a bitch.” // “ah… he sent a letter again today. such a poetic sap… i miss him.” // “he hasn’t contacted me in a while… should i… no, going to sumeru would only make him annoyed… but im worried.”

zhade — talked about here !

🥀: favorite thing about your ship?

S.P.K. — genuinely my most chaotic ship in terms of plot and feelings. i love being able to mess up things regarding their stories and to make things hurt. they get their ending, but is it happy? sad? i love messy stuff like that and this is really just my chance to explore it! not to mention when the three of them are together, the dynamics are just too good heh.

zhade — a more comforting ship if i’m being honest. two people who dance around each other, too afraid but not realizing they’re afraid of what could happen. i love thinking about in-game stuff too when it comes to these guys !!

[zhongrin]

Hello hello! Hope you’re recovering from the hackathon *pat pat*, I brought snacks for you! (What snacks do you like actually? Any Indo ones you particularly like? Street foods count! I rlly miss batagor, kue rangi and and… ah shoot I’m hungry now *sobs*)

I’ve been to your teahouse (blog) several times, yet for some reason I just realised smth. It’s how Zhongli greets the other customers when they first come in, the ‘My wife will be with you shortly.’ I just realised the *my* is italicized and I went hmm… someone’s possessive… I wonder how that someone would react if I were to steal you away for a bit? … I’m joking of course!

How goes your progress with the Guzheng? I like to think your partners convince you to perform at the Tea House one day. Zhongli and Wriothesley can attest to having something nice to accompany their tea, Al-Haitham would switch off his headphones to listen to you play and Neuvillette… has another dragon joined the teahouse? 👀

*is patted* thankiew... i went out to touch grass today (am still outside actually hahah) and i'm pleased to say that while i still am stressing over some things, it has really helped with the change of pace and de-stressing a bit...

snacks... ohhh i love sweet things!! i'm a sweet tooth so anything sweet with 'basic' taste (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry), i'll usually like... but if we're talking about indo-specific snacks then... molen!! lemper!!! keripik tempe (bro i love love love love fried tempe so much they're so good i can have them as lunch and dinner every day all day you can eat them with soto or pecek or pecel or rujak without/with kacang hrrrrrgghhhhhh)!!! kue Iekker (leker? idk what's the right spelling lmao)!!! hitam manis!!! 🤤

hahaha yeah!! i think most people wouldn't really catch it but that header almost always changes after an ebg or an event... the italicized version has been there since that april fool neuvillette blog revamp prank. and i'm pretty sure zhongli just goes "welcome. what would you like to order?" after that albedo ebg for a while... which implied meirin wasn't allowed to handle customers for a while *wink*

(ignore the noise in the background that's totally the teahouse's electricity generator making weird sounds, definitely not dragon growls yeah um yeah)

hakdjskdj mayhaps one day!!! i'm definitely not good enough to play a whole music by myself but one day i will! it's my target ٩( ᐛ )و

guzheng progress wise, i was finally given a score that would require two hands to play!!!!! and. i am. Struggling™️ HAHAHAH but this is good!! because it means i'm one small step closer to be able to train myself playing lovers' oath hehe ᰔᩚ i'm also learning the tremolo; i think i somewhat have the motion down (i.e. i'm using my wrist instead of my fingers as the main force for the motion) but i'm still struggling to build the strength to do it continuously and consistently. i'm struggling HARD to do it for 30 seconds. the goal is 1 whole minute so uh yeah hajdhsdj

...... and yes i don't talk about him much here, but the iudex is indeed around 👉🏻👈🏻 don't freak out if you see him at times haha

[throwaway-yandere]

kdshfwe ok so i went back and reread both vision qualifications and sunshowers to jog my memory of how visions being taken away works (oh the irony) and from the way you portrayed, the longer and more unstable you are the more memory loss takes place. i swear i could remember a scene where y/n had their vision in their pocket most of the time, but i literally cant find it anywhere i cant tell if im blind or just remembering wrong or whatever (1/?)

Spoilers: Ask is referring to this fic

I don't think Alhaitham would steal away (Y/n)'s vision– it ruins whatever he's trying to do. He wants them to be near him as much as possible, which means that if they receive a geo vision (it was bound to happen), they'll be busy with engineering, which is pretty much the path to thread away from him. Dendro vision, on the other hand, would give them more opportunities to collaborate. The reader is plenty competent to work in the Haravatat. They've been invited loads of times by the sages but they declined.

It's a good thing Zhongli values contracts above all else, hmm?

(Y/n) doesn't genuinely recall Alhaitham's face most of the time, not just because they're not carrying their "damn grass vision" but because they're REALLY spiteful. Which is, well, funny for me lmao. That's why Alhaitham keeps bothering them and forcing them to remember him. 

They're actively trying to avoid him. If they got the idea that having their vision taken away would help them forget who Alhaitham is then they'd probably consider having it gone forever, only as a threat. They're petty in their own right– I've been writing a more crackfic-like part 2 to VisiQual and it glosses over why (Y/n) forgets faces easily. It uses Crying Anon's elf!reader idea and it's been really fun!… until fricking mafia au!Cyno kicked my door down–

I honestly can't tell if I deleted the pocket thing or if we both hallucinated it. I sometimes edit fics but they're mostly just for grammar errors. I did have a scrapped idea about Alhaitham scolding the reader to stop leaving their vision anywhere unattended and the reader snapped– but I hated how emotional it turned out. The reader felt too similar to Kaveh so I added the "If Kaveh's incredibly verbose dislike for Alhaitham is considered normal, then you are a man of few words" line in the final draft. I ended up loving how VisionQual's ending felt like a jumpscare so yeah (it's obvious by now, but I love plot twists lmao)

"If Alhaitham ever decided to take (Y/n)'s vision away how quic–" faster than you could say "Akademiya" my friend LMAO. They'll probably ramble about Kaveh and think he owns Alhaitham's house. He is GONE 🦀

So finally: "If, hypothetically, haitham takes away y/n’s vision, why, and how would both of them react?"

The only reason I can see Alhaitham taking (Y/n)'s dendro vision away is to make them temporarily compliant. He hates it. It's like cheating on a test. He'd secretly prefer hearing (Y/n) scream out should he kidnap them, even if it's inefficient. Alhaitham would return the vision in no time. He traded a part of him for you to earn that dendro vision, and he's not letting you lose it.

As I mentioned above, taking (Y/n)'s vision is counterproductive, but once he permanently snatched (Y/n)'s vision away he'd be the most affected. Alhaitham admires his darling's wit and spiteful nature, yanking that aspect out will surely topple the Jenga tower, you know? Not my best analogy but I think it sums it up rather well. Without that drive, the reader wouldn't have made an outstanding presentation just to prove a point. He thinks they're incredible the way they are. I think Alhaitham's the type who wouldn't care much if you hate him, as long as you won't be with anyone else, he's "content" with that. Take away (Y/n)'s dendro vision and make his "building rapport" activities meaningless. 

How would (Y/n) react and behave? They'd easily turn into a mad scholar. They don't know why they're so passionate about reading engineering textbooks despite forgetting everything they've learned the next morning. They'd wake up every day crying, feeling like something is missing. It's a cruel cycle. Taking their vision away long enough helps no one.

Sidenote: I never thought I'd see Sunshowers mentioned in an ask ( ☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)!! The fox reader in Sunshowers is numb as heck after Ei took their vision. While, yes, they remember Ei cause she's always there, they don't recall anything else… I wanted to imply that the reader had a relationship with Miko but it's an Ei fic dyifakaoodsf. Kitsune no yomeiri means Fox Wedding. Both Yae and the reader are foxes. That phenomenon happens when it rains. The reader has hydro visio–

[averaillisa]

For the character ask, Zhongli?

zhongli!! <3 okie here we go!

Favorite thing about them

!!!! where do I start!! He's just so cute and handsome and sweet and funny I just like everything abt him ashflefjl 🥺

But to point out a specific thing I like his eyes a lot!!! They're so pretty oof!!!

I also like that he's the God of Wealth and Commerce but always broke, but also he's always broke directly because he was the God of Wealth and Commerce and therefore not used to human spending. 10/10 character writing and humor. I love him sm

Least favorite thing about them

He doesn't have a costume yet :(

Favorite line

Honestly he has a lot of great lines haha hmmm lemme think

"A heart of stone is a heart nonetheless" is a beautiful line and probably my fav, but "...you make it sound like I'm some sort of bourgeois parasite, who's only utility is providing quaint pieces of trivia on demand :(" is also a pretty good one tbh

brOTP

brotp means favorite platonic/non-romantic pairing right? 🤔 Cuz in that case I love Zhongli and Hu Tao as father-daughter/grandpa-granddaughter, it's just so cute and warm :')

OTP

I actually don't really ship Zhongli romantically with anyone tbh, hmm the closest I guess would be Guili?

nOTP

Hmm well I personally have an aversion to ZhongTao for obvious reasons ><

random headcanon

He was a consultant of the Parlor since Old Hu, and was there for Hu Tao as she grew up. Probably not true but I've seen content of this around and think it's super cute :))

unpopular opinion

Err nothing really comes to mind 🤔

Considering how many ppl ship it, I guess me personally not seeing much chemistry between Zhongli and Childe would count?? Idk!

Song I associate with them

I'm pretty sure I saw this association made by someone else before, not sure who, but 'Shelter' by Porter Robinson gives off Guili vibes 🥺

Favorite picture of them

this one!!!!!!

I also love this official chibi, look at how smol and curious :')

Thank u for the ask!!

zl blows childe under the table while he's gaming on a call with itto & thoma, he also has a belly button piercing with childe's initials on it plus a high ponytail

Top Childe x Bottom Zhongli

writer's note: explicit +18 content, please view at your own risk. thank you, have fun !

“Bro what the fuck.” Itto sighed as the pathetic loss flashed onto the screen. Childe fixed his headset with a chuckle, “Alright alright, calm down. It’s Thoma’s first time, cut him some slack.” Thoma was awfully silent, Childe switched to the voice channel to check if he was still there. “Ah, no. Sorry. I don’t know, honestly. It looks pretty easy when Ayato plays it.” 

Itto yawned, “Don’t worry, we’ll whip you into shape in no time. One more before I sleep?” Everyone approved and the screen began loading for the new round.  “Itto, remember when we taught Ayato?” The oni let out the loudest cackle, “Man, how can I forget? He sucked so bad.” 

Thoma burst out laughing, Childe’s eyes were fixated on the screen, red and puffy when he suddenly felt a hand run up his leg. “Fuck.” he flinched, “Dead already?” Itto asked. Childe looked down to find Zhongli under the table, on his knees with nothing but his boxers and a high ponytail, his hand kept trailing upward, “Answer him.” Zhongli whispered so the mic wouldn’t pick up his voice. 

Childe directed his eyes at the screen again, “Oh…No I’m fine. Just didn’t see it coming.” Itto hummed. 

“So you’re saying the flashbang is more important?”

“Exactly bro, because even if you miss you still need the cover to change positions, get what I’m saying?”

“Aah, I see. But how about…”

Childe quickly switched to the chat to mute himself. 

“What do you think you’re doing?” he asked, unable to look down. “Hmm, take a guess Ajax.” Zhongli began undoing his pants, Childe could feel him looking up, examining his body. “Babe I really can’t right now.” his voice softened. His pants were already lowered down to his ankles. 

Zhongli ran his hands along his legs soothingly, “You don’t have to do anything.” “Go Thoma, I’ll cover.” Childe spoke into the mic and muted himself immediately right after. “Aren’t you tired?”

“I am…But I miss you.” He rubbed his cheek over Childe’s thighs “I miss making you feel good.” The ginger exhaled, Zhongli’s seductive voice sending a shiver down his spine. He retracted to a safe area momentarily and looked down, examining his boyfriend. 

“Your hair looks so pretty. Is it for me?” He ran his fingers through the silky, golden-brown ponytail. Itto was yelling in the background, asking Childe why he was standing still. 

“Yeah but…it’s too long. Can we cut it tomorrow? It’s my day off.” Zhongli rested his head on the ginger’s lap.

“Of course, princess. And a bath?”

“I’ll wash you and you’ll wash me.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

Zhongli’s eyes sparkled as the ginger picked up the mouse again. Childe knew this sparkle, this smile, especially this voice all too well. They were inevitably spending some time apart because of Zhongli’s workload at his new job. Childe could handle it quite well, when he came home Zhongli was usually back, knocked out on the couch.

He carried him to the bed and cuddled him all night every night, kissed him all over until the morning so that he wouldn’t have any nightmares. And by the time he eventually fell asleep and woke up, Zhongli was out of the house, but then again, Childe wasn’t suffering all that much. 

On the contrary, he knew how needy Zhongli was. Even when Childe left for business trips for a few days, he’d always find him drooling upon his return. Now the way he was talking, slithering over Childe and looking up at him with a whoreish look, he was realizing that it was going to be a long night. 

His shorts and underwear were already lowered to the floor, Zhongli took a long lick from his semi-erect cock all the way up to his chest. Childe hissed, he could see the brunette’s back arch from the corner of his eye. Zhongli raised himself by holding onto Childe’s knees and swirled his tongue around his nipples. 

Thanks to Itto never shutting up, neither of them were realizing that he was on mute, but Childe was missing kills left and right, everytime he tried to aim Zhongli noticed his hand and bit down on the sensitive spots, stroking him up and down as Childe let out soft moans. His other hand was stuffed in his own boxers, rocking into Childe’s leg as he also played with himself. 

“Are you watching the game just to sabotage me?”

“Not really…but your fingers. You should put them to good use.”

“You think so?”

“Mhmm.”

“Stop touching yourself then.”

“But I want to.” Zhongli whined, though it was convincing, Childe could tell that he just wanted to be difficult, he knew obeying always paid off but apparently he felt like being a brat today, and so Childe decided to play along. “If you wait like a good boy I’ll do it for you.”  

“Can’t promise anything.” Zhongli moved higher and whispered in his ear, leaving kisses down his neck and shoulders. Childe wrapped the ponytail around his fist, swiftly knocking him to the ground, “You’re such a fucking tease. Stay down until I’m done.” 

Zhongli was staggered, though he quickly recovered back on his knees. “Hmm, can’t focus on your game?” He wrapped his lips around Childe’s tip, slowly swallowing the rest as the ginger sank on the chair with a deep groan. He pushed Zhongli’s head all the way down, gagging him but seeing no sign of resistance.  

He clutched tight on Childe’s pale thighs, twisting his tongue around the shaft. Using the distraction as an advantage, his hand dove back in his underwear, low moans vibrating on his open lips. Childe pushed him away by the throat and spoke into the microphone, “Thanks guys, I gotta go but let’s play again tomorrow.” 

“Hey hey hey wait you-” Itto’s voice cut off halfway and Childe let him go and threw away the headset. Zhongli was a little disoriented, looking up with hazy and sleepy eyes. Childe grabbed his arms and harshly pulled him onto his lap. 

“What’s your problem?” he asked firmly, holding his chin. Zhongli was unfazed, he settled down, pushing back on his boyfriend’s erection with a grin, “It’s been a week.”

“Yes but you come back tired. I don’t wanna wake you up just to fuck.” 

“So don’t.”

“What’s the point if you’re not awake?” Childe lowered the fabric and spread his cheeks, teasing the entrance with his index finger. Zhongli leaned on his chest, resting his chin on Childe’s shoulder, letting out breathy moans in anticipation, “Doesn’t need to have a point. Just…have it your way. I’m all yours.”  

“You’re sick.” Childe scolded, he pushed in with no warning, curling his finger upward but Zhongli didn’t seem to mind at all, he was grinding into his hand, yearning for more. Childe pinned him by the waist to limit his movement, “I can’t hear you moan like a slut if you’re asleep, can I?” he whispered. 

Zhongli was already gasping for air, “I’m barely touching you. Are you that thirsty?” Childe asked with a mean tone, purposefully not picking up the pace. 

“Ajax…Please stop teasing me.” Zhongli whimpered.

“Do you think you get a say?”

“I…No.”

“Go sit, do it yourself.” 

Zhongli settled on the couch, spreading his legs and presenting himself as Childe sat down on the floor. He took a deep breath and licked his fingers, pushing them in one by one while the ginger looked up at his face. He loved Zhongli like this, eyes rolling back, a thin thread of saliva dripping down from the corner of his open mouth letting out curses and moans. 

Childe caressed his thighs, his fingers trailing up to Zhongli’s belly button and tugging on the navel piercing’s dangling part. It was baby blue just like Childe’s eyes, shaped like a teardrop with his initials plated in gold. “You wear it to work?” he put his hands on the couch to the sides of Zhongli’s hips and highered himself to face him. 

“I never take it off.” Zhongli brushed his nose against Childe’s, connecting their lips for a heated kiss. Childe really wanted him to suffer more but he was also getting worked up. He grabbed the brunette, kneading his hips roughly, Zhongli was struggling to kiss him back as his own fingers slipped in and out smoothly. Childe’s tongue reached back into his throat, making it even harder to breathe while their hardened cocks rubbed on each other.   

“You’ll behave?” Childe moved away and cupped his cheek.

“I’ll be so good for you, please…Ajax.”

“Cum.” he ordered and Zhongli’s hand wrapped around his cock. 

“No, hands off.”

“Wh—How? I need to—”

“Do it and I’ll give you what you want.”

Zhongli hummed, he was desperate to be touched, to be filled up. He leaned back in for a kiss, focusing on Childe’s weight, to his hands roaming around his torso and pinching his hardened nipples. Zhongli suddenly realized how hard Childe was just by watching him touch himself, he picked up the pace imagining his fingers instead, and soon after he sprayed both their stomachs white with a loud moan. 

“Good boy.” Childe brushed the hair off his face, “I think you deserve a treat.” He laid Zhongli on his back, getting on top and lubing up with his own spit. Zhongli’s legs wrapped around his waist, caging his lower body tightly. 

“Ajax…I missed you…so much.” 

“Don’t worry, I’ll fuck you a week’s worth.”

“Is that a promise?”

“It’s a threat.” Childe stood on his knees, pulling Zhongli’s ass closer to himself and plunged in far and harsh.

“That’s—Ah! Fucking deep.”   

“Well, at least nobody’s stretching you out at the office.”

“No, I just jerk off to your photos in the bathroom.”

Childe slapped him harshly across the cheek, “You pervert, that’s disgusting.” 

“Fuck…A—again.” 

It was mind-blowing how Zhongli was a completely different person when he was horny. He presented as such a distinguished gentleman, most likely very well-articulated at work as always, but Childe could easily picture him going out of a meeting and jerk-off in the bathroom. He had zero shame at those moments, just carnal desires. He would say things he normally wouldn’t in a million years, he’d beg Childe, cry and scream until he was satisfied. 

Childe swung another slap, “Can’t believe how filthy you are sometimes.” he spat out. Zhongli laughed hysterically, completely bathed in euphoria, his mind was at a blank trying to register the pleasure and the pain. He screamed in agony with every thrust, letting Childe use him up however he pleased, allowing his body to be rocked rhythmically.

Though he sometimes came off as needy and selfish, all he cared about was pleasing Childe. Making him weak always felt like winning the lottery, Zhongli wanted him to collapse just by feeling how warm and tight he was for him. Laid out, legs spread, hair scattered all over their bed, that’s how he wanted to be in Childe’s head, the subject of all his desires.

Childe pulled out and flipped him over, the marks of his fingers were burnt red on Zhongli’s pale skin, he raised his ass up, back arched as much as humanly possible. Childe grabbed a handful of his hair and pushed his head down harshly on the pillow. Zhongli’s muffled moans escaped onto the fabric as Childe ruthlessly slid back into him, he was panting loudly, squeezing and slapping the brunette’s ass, digging his nails deep enough to draw blood. 

Zhongli was sobbing, practically drowning in his tears, gasping for air as he held onto the edge of the pillow. Childe was pushing down so hard that it felt like his neck was about to snap. He kept fucking into Zhongli viciously with zero regard to the defects he was creating. Within such a short amount of time his body was so torn up, bruises, bite and hand marks all over his porcelain skin. 

Childe sat on the couch and pulled the brunette to his lap, admiring his face. Zhongli didn’t waste a second before swallowing him up and starting to ride back and forth. Compared to the tears that ran down his face from pleasure usually, this time he was actually crying, sobbing with hiccups that blended into moans and whimpers while his body squirmed. All his muscles contracted, tightening around Childe who assisted him by leading his hips.  

Childe’s breathing was now closer to its normal pace, he couldn’t take his eyes off of Zhongli’s face, his teary half-lidded eyes and rosy cheeks. He pulled his boyfriend closer for a hug, gluing their bodies together as he banged against the brunette’s prostate repeatedly. 

“Ajax…” Zhongli moaned softly in his ear. Over and over again. Mixed with his beautiful moans and sobs. Soon after Childe pushed him all the way down, releasing shakily and burying himself deep inside Zhongli. Their breaths were taken away as they sat in that position, covered in sweat, blood and cum. 

Childe soothingly ran his fingers along Zhongli’s now messed up hair, peppering kisses on his shoulders to help him calm down. Zhongli pulled away and held the ginger’s face in his palms. “Let’s go again.”

Hmm. I don't tend to write yandere aus since they're not my favorite trope/prompt, but I do have some good skills in analyses so maybe I have something. For someone like Cyno to be yandere, I can see him resembling Xiao the most. They are distant protectors that start off with good intentions that slowly grow into obsession due to paranoia. They are not as analytical and cunning as someone like Alhaitham or Zhongli when they become yandere, but there is a method to their madness. They are silent killers yet are very obedient to their love interest, but Cyno has a bit of an edge over Xiao because he can also be very stubborn in upholding a sense of justice rather than just fulfilling an obligation to protect. This means he is more likely to stray from his initial path due to delusions of self-righteousness (making him prone to gaslighting his lover when they disagree), while Xiao is more likely to be masochistic in his chronic self-loathing (knowing that some of his actions could be judged as immoral but continuing what he does anyway because that is the only good thing he can do to keep protecting his lover). They can tolerate being hated by their love interest but there is no way they are ever going to leave them alone. If they think their love interest is leading themselves to harm, they may or may not resort to forcefully imprisoning them.

I know you tend to see Xiao platonically so this might not be the best analogy, but this is the best advice I could give you hehe.

☆Starlight Anon

I don't think I am really that good at analysis when it comes to characters. How I write is usually based on feel, but I could not word it. If the vibe matches I just keep it but if it doesn't I am usually iffy of my own work which happens actually rather often but since I can't word it or like see the problem and just feel something is wrong it depends on how enthusiastic I am upon it. I either redo some parts of the story to make the character more "them" or I shove the whole post somewhere else for like a month or two and then look at it again with fresh eyes and just notice like "Ah let's change that" but still can't word it- 😵‍💫 sometimes I give up too, to be honest, and just post it rather than letting the time I spent rot in drafts even more. Cause I know the post is okay, not the best but I definitely tried.

Cyno as a yandere never really clicked in my head, like platonic yandere somewhat easy (not really- Xiao would be far easier--) Like I could understand why people portray him as a certain kind of yandere I would be like yeah that makes sense, but when I try to think about it while writing suddenly I enter loading screen.

Actually, scratch everything I just said I just write at this point. Cyno whatever happens after a few fics I am sending you off with Xiao. To the bully corner jk Love yah~~!!

*slowly goes insane* Pretty words mayu. Pretty words only. deep breaths...

[nyx-sagau-dreams]

Hi there I go by Voidless! (She/They, albeit I'm fine with whatever). Welcome to the SAGAU space, I hope you can find some happiness here. Probably monoamorous and would prefer guys for this ask (with the exception of Childe)

To put it bluntly: I’m a child at heart, and fairly observant. It's not a challenge to figure out what someone’s feeling or thinking, their motives ect.

● I tend to be forthright with my emotions

● ENFP

● I like sharing bits of knowledge and fun anecdotes!

● Can be overly enthusiastic when socializing

● I’ve also gotten insecure, and assumed others don't like/distrust me without basis, proceeding to form an image in mind that's not true to who they really are. At the same time though it's really hard for me to judge a person for their past or secrets, I like to think I've seen it all

● From the outside, I’ve been described as being like Zhongli (Serious, goes on tangents and socially awkward). Very much enjoy flirty folk though, they make me feel loved

●Likes: museums, cool rocks, having a good laugh, travelling, anemo and electro slimes, civilizations of antiquity, and shopping

Hobbies: Anything under the sun! I sincerely wish I could live forever to do everything. I love to sing and tell stories and invoke the imagination. Also write and enjoy astronomy!

● I'm not unique, but I really do fear death. I can't live just to die. I still have plenty I want to experience and not enough time. Isolation is also terrifying, just being alone with your thoughts forever. But the scariest thing has to be dandelion leaves. Yeah.. I really don’t know either.

As for a scenario: How about recounting eachothers life stories. It'd be a moment of trust, relying on one another letting the wind take care of our burdens

Thank you so much for asking!

I have matched you with: Venti!

Venti can also be childish yet observant. He loves music, and is also afraid of death. And, as an Archon, he is far less likely to die than almost anyone else.

You said that you enjoy flirty people, and I think, in the right situations, Venti can be a HUGE flirt.

Venti is a very reassuring person, and I feel like even if he's having to keep secrets, he'd assure you that they won't come between you.

He's very physically affectionate. Venti tells a lot of stories through songs, and I'm sure he would tell you more and more jokes just to hear your laugh.

--

"... and so that's how I ended up in Mondstadt," you finished, waving your hand dramatically at the sky. You turned your head to Venti, who was laying on the ground next to you. "And the rest is history."

Venti snorted. "Not yet, but someday it will be."

"Okay fine, someday. But what about you?"

Venti laughed a quiet, solemn laugh. "My life is a bit hard to sum up, sweet songbird. Let me see." He raised his fingers off and started counting off on them. "I was born, helped in a rebellion when I was pretty young, lost a friend..." He went on for quite some time. "And then there was that whole deal with Dvalin and the traveler. That was a rough time."

You giggled. "You sound a thousand years old," you teased, fully aware as to why.

"Hmm, I can't imagine what reason that might be for."

A peaceful silence fell between the two of you. Venti laced his fingers with yours. "Should you ever feel afraid or worried, love. I'll be here."

You squeezed his hand. "And I will be here for you," you replied, free hand brushing on the glowing teal tattoo on your occupied wrist.

-end-

(I'm sorry if the scenario is really short, I'm not used to writing for Venti 😅)

[dootdootwriting]

Hullo! Came across your valentine event while scrolling the genshin tag and thought I'd drop by! Matchup events are always fun :)

I prefer guys and masculine leaning non binary folks. My pronouns are she/aer/xem, and am an Aries.

I'm not the best at social interaction, at least not conventionally (like small talk). I have social anxiety, but it's been little to none lately! When I'm comfortable, I'm pretty sociable. If I'm in a goofy mood, I can get chaotic and mischievous instead of my usual chill self. Speaking of chill, I'm known as the 'chill one' by most people. Which I'd say is true, I'm chill with pretty much everything. My interests vary widely, I can find most things interesting! I'm as curious as a cat, hehe. I love cats so much btw, and seafood. I enjoy exploring alot too. I think I'm pretty perceptive, taking my time when analysing things. Mix that with a bit of perfectionism and I take forever to do some tasks 🥲.

I was on a roll describing myself but got distracted by my cat, now my brain is blank...

Hmm, I try to be aware of others feelings as best I can. I try to be understanding aswell. My memory can be pretty bad too, occasionally forgetting something I just said. I also feel strongly on living beings being treated with at least basic decency. I could go on a big rant on how animals have their own version of thoughts and feelings, which also extends to non-human sapient creatures (like possible future ai). I really hate feeling angry, makes me feel sick and in pain physically. When I do get angry, which is rare, I'm either overwhelmed/stimulated, or upset about something like what I mentioned prior. And I'm atheist, I kinda want to punch a god, but one that deserves it. Like Ei, maybe even Zhongli... definitely Celestia, I'll fist fight them whether I could win/survive or not. I definitely would have tried punching god!scara in the mech.

Hope that wasn't too much... Have a nice day/night and thank you for this event!

hello and welcome in! you're so right btw i would love to fistfight ei or zhongli.... problem is they're both my babygirls. 😤 in any case, here's your matchup.

i match you up with kaeya!

♡ oh, good, you're like a cat! so is he. when he's with you, kaeya is even somewhat clingy - demanding of affection when you're in the middle of doing something. and when you're done, suddenly he's not in the mood anymore... well, okay. maybe for a few kisses. kaeya isn't someone who has a reliable routine outside of his work, though. he likes to go exploring with you, finding puzzles out in the wilderness of mondstadt to solve with you. and when you bend down to pet a stray animal laying around the city, he doesn't even mind... much! he'll gaze at you with a slightly bemused sort of smile. ♡ he's also the same way when it comes to negative emotions: he doesn't like them. before you, he would drown them out in alcohol or just plain sleep, or by burying himself in projects he would start but never finish. nowadays though. if he's feeling down, he'll come over to you and give you a gentle poke, choosing instead to drown his sadness in soft arms and kisses. ♡ kaeya is also good at the flip side - anything you forget he'll kindly remind you of, and if you get overwhelmed, you can always count on him for a shoulder to lean on or a gentle hand to lead you away from whatever is bothering you.

♡ kaeya isn't a huge believer in valentine's day. he doesn't dislike it necessarily - he's just never had a real reason to celebrate it. his mood toward the holiday depends entirely on yours. if you want to lay low and just hang out for the day, he'll do that. if you want to spoil him, he'll let you! and if you want to be spoiled, you can bet your ass he's buying the two of you some of the best wine the angel's share has to offer.

[white-boy-bracket]

Childe also. Has irreversible bloodlust. He loves to fight.

Here’s are some highlights from his voice lines;

You know, there are better ways to seek out our enemies than... well, standing here.

This place is pretty dead... By which I mean, there's nothing to kill.

The world looks glorious in the snow. Pure white, like the light of the moon. A perfect backdrop for bloodshed.

A warrior must always be ready to face any challenge with his blade. The outcome of the battle is irrelevant — what matters is that you learn from the experience.

Tell me, how has Mr. Zhongli been lately? Not bad, you say? Seems he's had no problem acclimating to "mortal" life. Hmph, he sure had me fooled. Such a fiasco mustn't be so easily forgiven! The only way to reconciliation is fierce combat! What do you mean I'm no match for him? Hahaha...

Varka? Just the thought of one day going head-to-head with him in combat, the fabled Knight of Boreas himself, titan of the Knights of Favonius... It makes me buzz with excitement. It's a beautiful life we live in this world.

Remember, comrade, one day I will conquer the world!

Face me in person, man to man, and I'll always have a chance of beating you. Same goes if you're a deity or a monster from the abyss. But the Harbingers? They are more enamored with their intangible methods, spending their days scheming and maneuvering. This is why we cannot get along.

Comrade, a word of advice: Don't go yelling stupid things in the heat of battle. They might sound good in your head, but if you think about it, they make no sense at all. I'm talking about things like, "I'm on fire!" That's the last thing we want. Fire leaves behind nothing but ashes. And you must survive at all costs.

Ah, how time flies. One day, you will see how I conquer the world and crush the thrones of gods beneath my heel. In the meantime... no dying, comrade! Keep yourself alive, haha.

There's plenty of delicious food to sink your teeth into in this world... and plenty of fights to sink your teeth into as well. Life is beautiful.

Happy birthday, comrade! Anyone you need knocked off their perch today? Let me know. I'll happily oblige...

Food is like weaponry. A true warrior never deliberates unduly over their choice of weapon, nor do they do so over the food they eat. Neither should you.

Ho, I feel like I've gotten stronger! Now, who shall I use as my guinea pig...

"A warrior's strength is like a dome. The bigger the dome, the more opponents he can challenge inside it." Hmm, who was it that said this again?

Bravo, comrade! Thanks to your help, I am one step closer to my goal of conquering the world. I doubt even the Tsaritsa herself ever expected I would make it this far.

Comrade. Make sure you keep training too. Otherwise, who will be left to fight me to the death when the world lies defeated at my feet?

These are all real voicelines he has

!

[madraleen]

Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises Archon Quest scattered thoughts, because sometimes i just got too excited and needed to communicate it. spoilers, obvi.

-I’m gonna miss seeing Tighnari, dammit. I want Tighnari :(

-This is ridiculous, every time Tighnari and Cyno appear together, I start wheezing. They are ACTUALLY close! Amazing!

-How good is Tighnari’s EN VA tho. So good.

-My experience through the quest can be summarized as: “OMG what’s happening?! Hey, you’re pretty. OMG NO! Hey, you’re pretty. OMG-”

-Everyone in Sumeru is so hard on poor Paimon.

-Paimon: Alhaitham, you betrayed us! Me: No, he didn’t, he’s playable, shush.

-Scaramouche though. He’s just. He’s well-crafted.

-Cyno’s lil eye under the fringe, I love seeing his lil eye.

-Aether SPEAKS EEEEK I’m crying.

-Playing as Nilou and Izak to progress the story, that’s awesome.

-Azar: Cyno... Have you been waiting for a chance like this? We all have, man. We all have.

-Nahida would love reality tv, just saying.

-Nahida cries and I cry with her.

-The people of Sumeru now dream. Take that, Sumeru trailer.

-Oh! WE remember! Ooohh. Paimon also forgot! Ooohhh, what are we.

-Nooo!!! The Doctor?! I thought we were safe now!

-Hmm, so Paimon and the Traveler are not gods.

-What did he say about the fake skies of Teyvat! Dammit!

-Alhaitham/Kaveh enemies-to-lovers 50k anyone?

-Looking forward to the fanart of Cyno hauling the Traveler and Paimon back to Tighnari.

-Dehya/Dunyarzad writes itself, obvi.

-It’s like Zhongli said, we’re the only witness to history (well, something along those lines).

-We ARE friends, Cyno, I’m glad to hear you say so too.

-I might be spending a little too much time with Cyno, because I, too, think that the Sages could do with a little more punishment.

-Scaramouche is in a coma? Damn, now I’m more excited for 3.3, to actually see how he becomes the Wanderer!

-Lmfao, an Archon that actually tells us something about our sibling, who would have thought.

-FOURTH Descender?!

-Oh. Oh, our TWIN sibling isn’t a Descender and is from Teyvat. That doesn’t complicate things at all.
