#shsjsjsj sorry for how vague collector’s is i am. still getting use to them

[lanternlightss]

Venti or collector hcs gimme

Any kind welcome but perhaps silly ones I could doodle 👀

them them them

(digs through hc folder) okay okay, so

(this got a little long 😭😭)

venti:

his wings? absolutely massive. it takes more than a few people to get all the stuff out of it. vennessa, dvalin, and andrius like to sit down and groom his wings (all in human form, don’t wanna pull a feather out via claws!) they’re one of the few people he trusts to do it.

venti practices puns on zhongli. he picked them up from a few past friends (ragnvindr and bard, sometimes vennessa.)

whenever he gets excited, venti likes to run up to people, give them a hug from behind, and spin them both in the air. he did this a lot with vennessa, and usually smacked his wings into something in the process XD.

wispti LOVES to be (gently) tossed around. you can catch the bard swinging venti around his fingers like a butterfly knife at any given moment.

when lost in thought, venti will braid anything that’s in front of him. he has accidentally somehow braided his lyre strings once.

adding on to that last one: venti loves to crochet/sew. he’s a little embarrassed by how many braided projects he has. the thousand winds like to use them as scarfs.

when he’s very, very relaxed and comfortable, venti will make sounds he used to do as wispti. this includes chirping, trilling, chiming, purring—anything!

venti has a silly nickname for all his children. he’s accidentally called jean, “little dandy lion,” to her face once. they have both silently agreed to never bring it up. (jean secretly wishes he would do it again.)

venti will steal your clothes. if you are friends, and he is comfortable with you, Your Clothes Are Being Yoinked. this has happened with many people, but the pipeline so far has been nb -> vennessa -> jean. (they’re who he does it most too. it’s not his fault they have good styles!)

slightly angsty, venti has the original nb cloak, and pulls it out and around himself whenever he feels down. if he pretends enough, the hands holding his face are the bard’s.

collector:

pat their head. they Will bonk into like a cat would.

oh they absolutely do the flappy sleeves. sometimes they like to pretend they’re an “airplane” or a “bird” or a “really big dinosaur that could swallow you in one bite!”

he has matching plushies with almost… all the main cast? his favorites are king, luz, raine, and amity. (though all of them are his favorites, those are the ones he carries around the most.)

luz gives them a good witch azura book. she has read all of them to him. they do re-enactments of scenes sometimes, with everyone.

thinking….. about collector trying to get along with hunter. every time they are trying so hard not to ask “how did it feel to grow out the ground like a plant?”

collector has called hunter a sprout before. he didn’t get it.

collector either does not like shadow puppets, or likes them a lot. however, he loves puppet shows. sometimes he makes his own “scenes” with the plushies of his friends.

they made a little diy green slime. no one says anything when he twists and mangles it into nothing before fixing it. it’s therapeutic for them.

they made hats for all his friends. you know the little hat they wear in canon? he made personalized ones for the main cast. they all have little “things” at the dangling bit of the top part (think jester hat). like, hunter’s has a red bird!

luz has taught them what an “oc” is. he is unstoppable. (all of the ones he makes are based on his friends.)

loves loves loves to talk about space!!!! they will literally spend weeks talking to you about it, please ask them about stars, or galaxies, or the beginning of time.

loves nicknames. “little star,” is one of their favorites so far.

a very, very good narrator! during their book clubs with luz, they will make an entire theatre to act out parts. they try to make it as interesting as possible without breaking anything.

will mash together the most godawful abomination of foods. pancakes + glittery glue + pepperoni + cake frosting is one of their go-to’s.

every time he interacts with someone physically, like a hug, they are so so careful with it that it feels like nothing at all. they kind of know their strength, but he did also. maybe. punched a rock thirty feet below ground.

absolutely fascinated with the smallest things. once spent an entire day staring at a lava lamp.
