You know, I've been thinking. The stars in our world often look quite dim, especially in areas where there is light pollution. Suddenly, I'm imagining that in the Imposter!AU, the Creator looks at the stars at night, captivated by their brilliance. Perhaps Scaramouche or Mona (Whichever you prefer, you may also just write another character you think fits this scenario :D) find them. The Creator looks at them, then back at the stars.
"They're very lovely, you know? The stars never shine this brightly back home. It's a lovely sight..."
They smile. "I'm happy that I'm able to see them, even if it's in another world. I appreciate you letting me look at them before I die."
Perhaps the character takes pause... And sits next to them.
It's a lovely night.
in the stars

Tumblr media
the stars never lie.
mona clutches her catalyst to her chest, wide eyes turned to the sky. she whispers to them, hoping they’ll change, shift into something she’ll understand, anything.
they don’t.
her head lowers, inspecting the book. thrilling tales, the spine reads, the cover a simplified dragon with a sword through it. she tries to read into it, to try and pick apart the motives behind the weapon, but all it returns is a simple needlepoint.
a compass. one she’d followed ever since she caved into the pull on her catalyst, one she’d followed out of the city at dusk and into the plains, hiking up starsnatch cliff at its behest. her twin tails had lost some of their curl on the journey, her hat flopping sadly. it was late, later than she’d normally be awake, and she stumbled once on a rock before quickly catching herself, checking to make sure you hadn’t moved.
you, sat at the peak of the cliff. you, surrounded by cecelias, face turned to the stars. you, who turned at her short cry.
“are you alright?”
she couldn’t bring her hands to shift her catalyst into its attack position. her hands, free from their usual gloves, dug into the cover of the book, shaking both with the chill of night and with… she couldn’t tell, couldn’t pin whether it was fear or nervousness, or something else that blurred the line between panic and excitement.
“just fine, thank you.”
her voice was harsher than it should have been. she could tell you were being genuine, the way the water in the air shaped around you like it wanted to cling made that clear enough, the stars shining down on you as if you were the only being on the planet.
the stars never lie. so why were they saying you meant no harm?
you turned back to the stars, your hands shifting back to weave into the grass between the cecelias.
"they’re very lovely tonight. the stars, i mean. they never shine this brightly back home….” against her better judgement, mona glanced up. the sky was particularly clear, constellations shining down unhindered. “it’s a beautiful sight.”
orders from the knights echoed in mona’s head, orders extended from a god she’d never met. she knew the knights wholeheartedly meant what they said, truly believing the words they were told, but you…
hesitantly, she brought her hand in a circle in front of her, scrying for your constellation. you didn’t have one, unsurprisingly, and she relaxed slightly in the knowledge that you didn’t have a vision.. still, there was something strange about the empty space where yours would have been. swapping the sigils and rotating the outer edge, mona decided to read your future.
all the air was sucked from her lungs, the images depicted in the water making her mouth dry. the water warped and bubbled a dark color, as if it itself hated to show what it did.
you were on your knees, tight steel chains wrapped around you and latched onto hooks in whatever you were sitting on. in front of you stood the favored, the creator’s most prized, their weapon drawn. their form was taught with anger, nearly seething. it was strange, so uncharacteristic that it froze the astrologist in place for a moment.
no matter how fiery the disposition, vessels of yours were calmer after being wished upon, heart stiller for being by your side. they, the most prominent on your team of them all, should be at most handling such a severe situation with a tick in their jaw and quiet fury in their eyes, not…
she watched with sick horror as the favored attacks once, your chest caving once, twice with hitched attempts at breathing before you slumped over, blood trickling from your neck. the favored stepped back, weapon dismissed, and mona closed the illusion before it played any further. she hadn’t meant to look all the way to your death, only a few-
…only a few hours.
her hands shake where they’re still clasped in front of her, the remains of her scrying circle swirling in her palms. you didn’t even have a day.
she let the water fall, sending it towards the cecelias around you, willing them to stand brighter as she approached. she couldn’t bring herself to summon her catalyst, not now that she knew what your fate held.
the grass was damp beneath her, seeping slightly into her nightclothes. you didn’t say anything, simply passing her a flower that you had been twirling in your palms. she willed it to heal, restored the color to its petals and the strength to its stem, then passed it back. she had no use for it, not when you…
you chuckled as you took it, staring down at it for a moment before turning skyward once more. mona followed your eyes up, spotting a well known constellation directly above you. nearly perfectly straight up, glowing like a beacon, was the constellation of the favored, six stars making themselves prominent against the dotted sea of night.
“beautiful, isn’t it?”
she swallowed, eyes flicking down to you. you were still watching the stars, probably tracing the shape of the constellation above you. unknowing of what it spelled for your fate, unknowing of the warning written above you.
mona settled into the grass a little more, taking her hat off her head so it wouldn’t fall when she looked up again.
“indeed, it is.”

Idk if I’m trippin but I feel like u wrote this already but I can’t find it anywhere😭
With the new even can I request reader with kaeya and Reader with a Princess role It’s been in my head since I did the quest🥹🥹
OH I konw whati think you're talking about idk if i wrote it but there's this other thing i read where like. kaeya plays knights w some kids and his s/o plays the princess role but i didnt write that one :D
Tumblr media
Kaeya was ready to play his role as the Master Thief, but he wasn't expecting you to be the subject he was stealing from. He'd barely glanced over the lines he was supposed to read, wanting to just wing it a little bit and forgetting that there was someone else in the scene he was meant to interact with within all of the excitement that Klee was giving.
He enters the scene, ready to threaten his victim when he sees that it's you, dressed up in elaborate-looking silks and jewelry that his heart stops. He remembers vaguely that he was supposed to meet some kind-hearted noble on one of his expeditions and that Klee mentioned something about how she loved his relationship and wanted to work it into the play somehow.
Now, here he is, watching you act out crying about how you care so much about the people and that you want to join him in his endeavors. He knows that it's all a part of the script but the way you hang off of his arm and look up at him so sweetly makes him forget everything and just want to carry you away and spoil you with attention.
He loves playing the role of the bad guy, walking circles around you as you try to convince him that you're honest and genuine, and that you really do want to help out everyone. The false fear in your eyes and pleads for him to believe you make him smile genuinely, "finally" believing you as you're allowed to follow him out.
You're trying your best to sound as regal as you can, making sure you don't stumble over your words but he can see the way your eyes glitter at the sight of his costume. He didn't have the chance to show off his costume to you yet, so having your eyes on him makes him happy, really playing up the side of the mean rogue bullying the royal to his own amusement.
Now that the scene is over he runs his hands through the soft silk and gently replaces the crown on your head as it's become a little more askew from acting. He even brushes your hair out for you, pressing a soft kiss on your cheek as he praises your acting skills.
You're in the middle of saying something when suddenly he's picking you up. It seems almost as though he's testing your weight when he suddenly adjusts so you can rest your head on his shoulder, smiling down at you and pressing another soft kiss to your lips.
He thinks you're the most important thing in the world, and seeing you all dressed up like royalty only makes him want to pledge his allegiance to you even more. He didn't think it'd be at all possible to fall in love with you even more, but somehow he managed to in this moment, holding you tightly as he whispers praises against your lips.

Mistaken Identity is (Also) a Crime [Double Trouble SAGAU]
-> 《Itto, Klee, Childe》
The conundrum of being twins, except you and your doppelgänger aren't actually twins but everyone treats you as such. This leads to some comedic misunderstandings- and an attempted murder but we don't talk about that .
《Warning: yandere content, blood and Childe lovers beware》
MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
ITTO 《TAURUS IRACUNDUS》
The one and oni ranks first in constantly mistaking you and your doppelgänger's identities. It doesn't matter how many time people -ahem, Shinobu- corrected him and pointed out the slight differences between the two of you, if you didn't wear a name tag saying 'The Creator's Twin' the man will tackle and cuddle you until someone manages to pull him off -ahem, Shinobu pt 2-.
... actually, the man would tackle and cuddle you even if you weren't the Creator. You listened to him and genuinely enjoyed his presence, this oni's will find you and bask in your warm presence no matter what! -he backed off when Shinobu held her sandal threateningly though-.
You were walking towards your twin's mansion in Inazuma when your vision began to tilt sideways, a sudden heavy weight crashes into your side as you register Shinobu and the Arataki gang's horrified looks in front of you while you were tackled to the ground.
"CREATOR!!!"
Thank the heavens the mansion was in a secluded area, or else Itto would be immediately arrested by the Tenryou Commission for assaulting the Creator.
Wincing at the sudden tackle, you laid defeated on the ground as the one and oni excitedly blabbered on about his recent beetle fights. Itto's arms were wrapped around your waist in a tight yet gentle grip, your close proximity landed you front row seats to the oni's... impressive assets.
You would be lying if you said you weren't charmed by the oni's personality during his story quest. However, being stuck with a 6 ft man crushing down on your weight was not charming whatsoever.
"- and then, oh you're gonna like this, I pulled out the ultimate weapon, Hurricane Sakura, and won against Shouchi, HIM!! Now look at this sweet stash of dango I won-"
Shinobu, as observant as ever, quickly realised your identity and hurriedly bowed as she moved to pull Itto off you, "Itto, that is not the creator- get off and apologise quickly!"
Itto pouts, and you held back from swooning as the huge oni simply tightens his arms around you, "But Shinobuuu, if I let go they'll disappear again!"
He turned towards you, puppy eyes switched on as he gave you a roguish grin, "You enjoy my presence right? The Arataki gang and I are your aboslute favourites right, I mean obviously because you got me and Mushi and Shinobu and-"
... I am weak for this man. You let out a tired sigh, which Itto took as confirmation as he whooped and swung you around like a limp doll in his excitement.
"ITTO STOP SPINNING THEM, THEY'RE TURNING BLUE-"
Tumblr media
KLEE 《TRIFOLIUM》
Klee, like the rest of the child acolytes, did not interact much with the Creator, her moreso due to her... hobbies. Most of her knowledge regarding the Creator comes from her mom's musings -"fufufu~ that lovely darling wouldn't mind joining me on a particular tree-ip would they?-; big brother Albedo's instructions -"Klee I know you mean no harm, but a bomb with the Creator's face on it is a no."-; and the Mondstadt citizens' prayers.
She knows about the body double situation, but she has no means of identifying who's who when she's not very familiar with the doppelgänger to begin with!
While you tend to stick to the wilderness more often than not due to the fear of interacting with your doppelgänger's acolytes and worshippers, the City of Freedom held a special place in your heart since the very beginning.
The vast landscape with it's windy highlands and blue skies, the merry themes these lands carry which you can strangely still hear as you travel across the nation- you'd certainly garnered strange looks when you started humming the Dawn Winery theme while being held hostage by the Ragvindr heir-.
But maybe it's due to old habits instead- killing Timmie's pigeons certainly became a part of your new routine as well as jumping off the statue of Barbatos.
There were days, however, where your routine could divert off its natural course with a simple, misplaced-
"BOMB!!"
You managed to grab Timmie and run just as a sphere resembling the Harpastum bounced onto the bridge out of nowhere, the bells attached to it jingling merrily despite its forebodding appearance.
BOOM!!
Timmie's wail of anguish was commonplace to you as the innocent Harpastum bomb took out the flock of pigeons, the tiny girl panickedly running towards the two of you wasn't.
"Oh no, Klee is sorry for hurting Timmie's friends!" Klee hurriedly apologised, "Jean will be mad when she finds out- oh? You're the Creator!"
Her attention snapped towards you, completely forgetting the boy who was running away to tell on you both to his mother.
"Klee didn't recognise you from afar, but now that she does Klee has a gift for you!"
Is it a bomb? You wanted to ask as you held your hand out with a curious look.
Klee dropped a tiny baron bunny into your hands, it looked adorable with its red hat and cloak.
"Mom and I made it together, it'll make everything go boom with pretty pink fireworks!" Klee chirped.
It is a bomb.
Now cautiously handling the very volatile item, you gave Klee a bright smile, "I'll hand this to the Creator once we meet. Now, let's go find Timmie and... apologise for his friends."
Klee curiously tilted her head, "But, you're the Creator?"
"No, I'm their body double." You patiently explained.
Klee's expression brightened, "Oh! The Creator's sibling, it's nice to meet you!"
... if anyone hurts Klee, I'll kill everyone in the room and then myself, you swore.
Months later, after your doppelgänger stumbled upon Klee decimating a ruin guard with her bomb, they swore the exact same thing before teaching the girl how to strengthened her explosions.
Tumblr media
CHILDE 《MONOCEROS CAELI》
The battle-sexual harbinger was blessed to be the Creator's acolyte, something he's lorded over his co-workers whenever the opportunity comes up no matter the consequences. His pride as your acolyte even blinds him sometimes, as the abyss within him becomes a soothed beast in your presence.
He can and will do anything for you. A dead body or two won't matter, it's all for the Creator so you should be thankful.
Despite the uneasy paranoia seeded deep within you since you landed in Tevyat, things never escalated past the point of no return due to your sibling's interventions- you turn a blind eye to the switched meals; the missing staff; the paranoia swimming in your doppelgänger's eyes each visit. If the Traveler and Paimon noticed your uneasiness whenever you came, they said nothing.-
-As long as you were here, nothing else matters.-
You were fine with being threatened; you were fine with the cold stares as the acolytes degraded you into something lesser than human; you were fine with the rumours, those dripping with barbed venom, about being an imposter spared by the beloved Creator.
As long as you can live, you're fine.
But your doppelgänger can't protect you forever, and a day came when one of their more... unstable followers decided to 'test' you for the Creator's sake.
All because he mistaken you for your doppelgänger.
"What's the matter, scared?" Childe grinned tauntingly as he twirled his bloodied hydro blades.
The man prowled across the makeshift arena, towards your broken body as you wheezed in pain.
You felt the copper taste coating your tongue, the agony overwhelmed your body and dulled your panic with a numbing sensation as your killer slowly approached you.
"The Creator's a much better fighter than you, weakling." You let out a choked scream as he dug his shoe into your bleeding stomach. Everything was too painful why did this happen pleasejustgoaway-
"Why did they need to make you? You're worthless, a waste of space for their excellence." Childe murmured, dead eyes shinning with something that scared you tremendously- anger.
He raised his hydro blade, "They'll probably hate me for breaking you despite my promise. But you don't belong here."
You shut your eyes tight to prevent yourself from witnessing your own death. The blood loss was draining you of your energy, you might probably even die before Childe killed you. Maybe this is just a nightmare, and I'll wake up at home after this.
You found yourself slipping into unconciousness as a final thought entered your mind.
Maybe I should died earlier if this is the quickest way home.
✾~✾~✾
You woke up to your bed in the Creator's mansion, still numb with pain but alive. Your doppelgänger sat by your bed, their dark eyebags and tight frown was like looking into a mirror whenever your bad days got to you, "... you should take a vacation."
You felt the temperature drop at your doppelgänger's words before you croaked out, "Excuse me?"
"A vacation. Something, anything that'll keep you away from here." Your doppelgänger's dark eyes should be a copy of yours, but it was utterly unrecognisable, "I have been lax in my acolytes' discipline, if this can occur in my own home."
You nodded, wincing at the pain momentarily shocked your senses. Suddenly, your recalled your encounter with Childe as tiredness suddenly seeped into your very bones, "... he's right, I don't belong here."
The next thing you knew was the stinging sensation on your face and your doppelgänger's raised hand.
"Don't say that." They seethed, chest heaving as though they ran a marathon while arms entrapped you into a suffocating hug, "You- no, this shouldn't had happened. But never doubt your existence for one second."
"You are the Creator, not some stupid body double or whatever excuse you came up. You belong to Tevyat, and I was supposed to keep the balance." You felt your air cut short as your doppelgänger's arms caged you further, their face buried into your neck.
You never saw the insanity swimming in their expression as they utter their next words, "As your doppelgänger, I'll take care of everything so you don't have to worry and just rest."
Tumblr media
You: ...
Doppelgänger: ...
You: stop enabling the children
Doppelgänger: *hands 5-star weapons and artifacts to Itto & Klee* no <3

TBH I'm a bit taken aback by how much people don't care about standard banner characters sometimes... People who have played the game since its beginning already have them and their constellations, but for new players I feel like they are actually a lot harder to get, since you can't actually wish for them. There's literally nothing you can do to aim towards them. It's just pure luck, you can't tilt that luck. And the Chronicled Wish banner is FINALLY going to change that.
But I'm a bit frustrated because I desperately desperately want to get Jean, and have wanted her since day 1 of me playing, which was a year and a half ago. Sine day 1, I've wished on characters I sometimes don't genuinely want just hoping to lose the 50/50 to Jean. So when I heard the rumors about this new banner, I was so excited! It was leaked as a Mondstadt banner and I thought it was finally my chance! But then the leaks and rumors said the banner was going to be Albedo, Klee and Eula, so no Jean in the picture. :( It wasn't certain yet since it was just rumors at that point, but I heard it repeatedly, it was always "Albedo, Klee, Eula". I resigned myself to the fact that there was again not going to be a way to wish for Jean and decided to pull for Cloud Retainer instead. I already got her before that (and genuinely wanted her!!), but I figured I might as well try and go for a constellation for a character I really like, in the hopes that I would either get it or lose the 50/50 and have a chance to get Jean. I knew I was taking a risk by using my pulls now, if the new banner turned out to actually be interesting to get Jean, but everyone was saying "Albedo, Klee, Eula" and the next rumored characters for the Event Wish banners didn't interest me as much as Cloud Retainer so I didn't want to miss my chance to try and lose my 50/50 on a character I'd actually like to get in case I win it.
And then the new banner system was officially announced and I heard about it first in videos with people summarizing the livestream and explaining how it would work. And it was. again. "you can wish for Albedo, Klee or Eula and get a Fate Point if you don't get what you want." So I thought oh ok, I still can't wish for Jean, but I'll have more chance to get her if I lose than before. But then. I read the official thing. And it's not that at all. :) You CAN wish for the standard banner characters. :) Jean is even the one given as an exemple of a characters that you can try to wish for (isn't this ironic?). :) The people who talk about it just disregard these characters so much that they don't consider even the possibility of anyone wishing for them :) and they give biased information based on that assumption :) Their logic is that old players are already fed up with these characters and everybody is all about the "you will get the standard banner characters eventually" and I mean yes, you're right, but have you considered maybe I don't want to have to wait 2 years for it??
I knew it was rumors and leaks and you can't consider anything certain as long as it's not official, and I was kind of asking for trouble basing my decisions on that, and these people are still trying to be useful with their information, but I'm a bit disappointed by how biased it turned out to be... And I used 50 pulls on Cloud Retainer that I now wish I had kept for the banner that could finally give me the ONE character I've been wanting since the very beginning...

Self-Indulgent Headcanons for Cuphead from The Cuphead Show because I can:
This cup can fit so much neurodivergency inside of him- AuDHD comorbid. What can I say? This little dude has both ASD and ADHD combined type- if a telepath tried to read his brain, it would literally be some sort of bitcoin string combined and layered on top of each other combined with a bunch of windows errors and glitching CRT effects. Cuphead has the personality of Yoimiya, Klee and Hu Tao all combined- a pure chaos catalyst, and he himself is the harbinger.
He’s such a goofy little guy- so fun-loving and carefree and genuinely sweet- ah, but did I mention undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders can basically ruin someone’s life?
He secretly harbors a lot of pent up depression and shame, thinking that he has personality flaws instead of a debiliating developmental disability that makes life astronomically and instrumentally, laughably hard. Like, my guy, it’s not your fault that you have a terrible memory or lack foresight or insist on sticking to your plans and are terrible at changing them or will do literally anything to get what you want because “oh god what if it’s not there tomorrow what if this opportunity leaves.”
Cuphead is an energetic, enthusiastic go-getter who never lets an opportunity escape his sights- however, he tends to disregard small details in pursuit of his hyperfixations and goals, and always tends to act on impulsive and reckless tendencies. His dopamine starvation and overwhelming need to feel pleasure and reward through haphazardly set goals in any way, shape and form masks itself as a reckless type of greed- why do you think he gets so excited at the prospect of the Devil offering him 10 bucks to the point where he’s willing to risk his soul? When’s the last time you’re ever going to see 10 bucks? Especially during the 1930s, the time of the literal Great Depression. Can you really blame him for following such an impulse, even if he didn’t have financial prudity in mind when acting on it?
Also, look at this dude. Just LOOK at him. You can’t tell me he doesn’t give off the vibes of a transmasculine asexual who doesn’t understand gender beyond Being A Dude™.
Cuphead is aware sometimes that he can be ‘too much’ for Mugman, and this thought sends him into rumination spirals of sorts whenever he thinks about it. He genuinely loves his brother and doesn’t want him to get hurt, so he just bites his tongue and continues using his behavior as a coping mechanism to mask his guilt and anxiety (basically he secretly thinks everyone hates him- which isn’t too wrong but still, my guy, you’re that scrunkly and ilysm <3).
Genuinely, he’s so kindhearted and such a good, well-meaning kid despite his flaws, but lacking certain things and traits due to a disability and having them labeled as HIS fault takes such a toll on him without him even realizing that the guilt is present and eating him alive from the inside out in the first place. Of course, they DO bleed into his personality, but they can’t EVER be confused with a dopamine deficiency and developmental disorder occuring in the brain.
Cuphead’s safe food is hot dogs. I know y’all are going to attack me in the comments like ‘oh not all favorite foods have to be safe foods’ but have you seen the King Dice episode? That one where Cuphead basically YEETED his speech filter to oblivion because HYPERFIXATION? Broski gushed about hot dogs three times- he LOVES hot dogs and pancakes, especially with COPIOUS amounts of maple syrup. Texture good, taste good, what can he say? They’re just that GOOD.
In addition to that, his favorite foods can be anything spicy and/or deep-fried, basically some of the snacks that can be found at the snack stalls throughout the Inkwell Isles.
Also?? This cup chronically loses things due to a crippling lack of object permanence and spatial awareness. Papers? Puts it down, now they’re gone after 0.0000000001 seconds. Elder Kettle’s tire? Oh, where did it go, did it roll out the fence again even though I NEVER touched it? The out-of-sight, out-of-mind principle always applies with him and the way his mind operates, which is why he sometimes panics when Mugman or Elder Kettle moves his belongings from their original place or puts them down somewhere else because “NO NO NO DON’T DO THAT I’M NOT GONNA FIND IT LATER BECAUSE MY BRAIN WON’T LET ME RETAIN INFORMATION IN MY SHORT-TERM FOR LONGER THAN FIFTEEN SECONDS MAX NO- Guys I know this looks messy but IT’S ALL LIKE THIS FOR A REASON I SWEAR.”
Special interest? Fireworks and fire. Basically anything that’s shiny and sparkly and emanates warmth. Cuphead LOVES operating with fireworks and explosives- something about those bright flashes of light, ribbons of colors streaking across the sky and the low-frequency sounds vibrating through him alongside the boom echoing in his ears making him feel truly alive, with his heart beating so happily in his ears and him feeling it within his chest as he’s not even aware of the big smile across his face. Something about the sensation of working with fire, feeling the crackling within every pore of his being as something ignites making him SO DAMN HAPPY as that adrenaline and dopamine rush hit him. GOD he loves it so much.
In a way, this little cup reminds me strongly of Yoimiya from Genshin- an energetic, enthusiastic kid with an entrepreneurial spirit and a domineering, foolhardy personality due to a constant dopamine deficiency- the ultimate AuDHDers. Also, they’re incredibly talented pyrotechnicians and have an affinity for things associated with fire, elements of daytime and the sun. And the fact that Cuphead is a mischievous prankster like Hu Tao? Icing on the cake.
In the show and game both, Cuphead has black pie-cut pupils due to the characters being animated in a cartoonish style, but my personal headcanon is that Cuphead has brown eyes that are less saturated to the point where they appear a dark shade of charcoal grey, and Mugman has light blue eyes. They both speak in a 1930’s New York Accent, whilst Ms. Chalice has warm brown eyes and speaks in a Brooklyn accent.

I agree with the whole Paimon thing!! I think its cute that Paimon is child like, to me it makes her seem like a little sister to the traveller!! Not to mention Paimon is really the only friend to the traveller, she asks for things like food which the traveller can easily obtain and she gets excited about it!!
Paimon literally waited HOURS in Sumeru for traveller to come back and CRIED because she thought we left her!! Thats the saddest thing IV seen in Genshin 😭
The same people who say Paimon is annoying are the same people that say the Harbingers are good people because they are following there Archons orders..um besties??? THE TSARITSA IS LITERALLY THE MAIM VILLAIN??? AS OF NOW??? NONE of the Harbingers get passes for the things they did especially fucking Dottore who we learned did horrible things to Collie and gave her massive PTSD from it!! But people still defend him 🙄
YES I LOVE THE LITTLE SISTER THING it's so cute! Especially between her and the traveler, the found family crumbs are so sweet </3
I CRIED the voice acting was too good oml I was in tears the whole time :') And the inazuma cutscene after Raiden's first fight, she looked so scared! Honestly I adore the way they characterized Paimon, as someone with two younger sisters, it's cool to see accurate representation of childlike behavior. Same goes to Klee and NPC children.
YES HOLY CRAP I love the fatui because it showcases a lot of gray morals and tough situations, but the fandom takes it way too far. Characters like Childe and Signora did bad things to follow orders or because they were tricked, and don't like doing a lot of the things they do. Scaramouche has so much trauma that everything adds up and is reasonable for his situation. But characters like Dottore who are genuinely horrible people because it's fun? They defend that? Because they find him attractive?! I hate the fandom fr
YES YES YES COLLEI'S STORY ALWAYS PISSED ME OFF I despite Dottore with a passion, he quite seriously makes me angry hrgfgg
tbh I just don't have a tolerance for characters that harm children intentionally, or that are creepy to them. hisoka, adam, dottore, my holy trinity of "i hope they and their stans burn in hell"

Everything Feels New in Mortal Form (SAGAU)
cw: ...sfw masochism? crack....... dumb ditzy reader. im sleep deprived okay (._. )
Creator!Reader descending to Teyvat in human form, excited to experience everything there is about mortal life because what better way to be a divine ruler than to know what your own people go through?
Creator!Reader who never had a physical form before because in their heavenly realm, they existed more as a spiritual, magical whisp or something. So everything is new and exciting.
Creator!Reader who wobbles their first few steps when they landed in Windrise, unsure of how to use your legs and muscles. Venti had to catch you as you tripped and you laughed — you quickly learn how much you love the sound of laughter.
You shiver with every gust of wind, your body having never built a resistance to the cold. When Diluc notices and humbly offers you his coat, his gloved hands brushing your shoulders as he places it on, you notice how warm the pyro user is.
You clasp his hands in yours, looking up at him saying "So this is what warmth feels like! It's so comforting!" as you place his hand on your cheek. Poor Diluc, his face turns the same color as his hair. He quietly thanks whatever gifted him a pyro vision.
Clinging onto Diluc and Amber as you relish in the newfound experience of warmth. Klee also becomes your cuddle buddy, just hugging Klee as she sits on your lap, talking about dodoco! What convenient walking furnaces!
Alternatively, you also learn to enjoy the cold in hot summer days by glomping Kaeya. He chuckles and holds back on a teasing comment. You hope they'll start to treat you more as a friend eventually — after all, that was your purpose of descending.
Creator reader who genuinely loves the feeling of feeling! You want to experience everything and oh, when you discovered pain—
It was an accident, really. Zhongli was just so tall so when he stood next to your sitting form, arranging tea for you, his elbow knocked on your forehead.
He's panicking and profusely apologizing as you clutch your comically bruising head. He's offering to get you some ice, or perhaps ointment when you look up at him with sparkling eyes.
"Do that again!"
Archons, poor Zhongli, he thought of it as some heavenly punishment. Was this a test? Retribution for his unforgivable sin? Must he be forced to hurt you, his most revered being, as the price for his-
"How unique! Is this what pain feels like? It hurts very much!"
Zhongli's stuttering as he realizes how you genuinely want to experience pain. He's holding onto you before you try and lunge yourself off a staircase.
"Your holiness, please don't do this to my old heart-"
Creator Reader — now a masochist!creator!reader — discovers how pain can be caused by a number of things and now everyone's overly cautious of what you do.
Kokomi and Barbara panicking because you cut your fingers while cooking and they're trying to heal you but you're messing with the cut, talking about how much it hurts.
"Y-your holiness! If it hurts, please let us heal you already!!"
Following Xiao when he goes off to Dragonspine. You notice how he scoops a pile of freshly settled snow, chomping into it.
Your eyes glimmer with an idea, taking your hand to scoop a big pile of snow and biting into it—
"Ah! It's so cold in my stomach-"
Zhongli promptly scolds you and Xiao, he's frantic as he explains stomach aches and unhealthy diets. Xiao nods attentively while you try your best to understand, but all you can think of is how ice would taste even better mixed with syrup!
"Your holiness, are you listening?"
"Yes grandpa!"
Dear archons, please help the geo archon.
masterlist || continuation (elemental reactions)
note: if any of you have a brainrot with this concept, please don't hesitate to share because I love this dumb ditzy creator version but im too tired to think right now hahah

Trick or Treat!
Characters: Klee (platonic) & Albedo x GN Reader
Summary: You met Klee and Albedo by chance while they were out trick-or-treating!
Warnings: Mutual pining, fluff omg why is Albedo such a cutie wtf😫
Word count: 515
A/n: Haven’t written for my boy in a while, so here’s an idea I came up with! (Inspiration taken from this photo by @dekoi.art on Instagram, also attached at the bottom!!)
Tumblr media
The sight of kids running around through the streets was quite nerve-racking, the fear of Klee getting lost somewhere in the crowd lingering in the back of yours and Albedo’s minds.
“Klee, please don’t run off without telling us where you’re going.” The ever so calm alchemist lectured the girl, who was visibly over-excited to be able to get her little hands on so much sugar. Their small interaction made you smile, turning your head to follow the tiny zombie as she ran off to the next door to collect candy.
“Never a dull moment with her, hmm?” You say as you turn back to look at the alchemist, himself dressed as a mummy. He pulled it off quite well, you tell yourself, although this was mostly Jean’s doing. She had been the one to force him into leaving his alchemy lab alone for this one special night, as well as help him and the little Klee get dressed up to go out trick-or-treating. You meeting the two of them in the alleyways of Mondstadt had just been a stroke of luck.
“I trust she would be safe, even without us, but…” He pauses, one arm across his chest, the other hand under his chin. “I just can’t help but worry when she wanders off like that alone.”
His concern for the little girl was quite charming, it made you sometimes wonder how the two were not actually blood related. He cared for her as a mother bear would care for her cub. You couldn’t help but inwardly squeal whenever you caught the two in a moment of solitude, the last time being when you walked into the Knights of Favonius library to find Albedo reading a children’s book to Klee as her big, enthusiastic orbs scanned the colorful drawings imprinted on the paper. His infatuation for the girl made you wonder how he would act if the child he read to was his own. And if that child was yours as well.
The thought of you having a kid with Albedo was enough to snap you out of your thoughts and notice Albedo calling your name with a raised eyebrow and tugging on your costume’s sleeve, trying to get your attention.
“[Y/N]? Klee has gone further down the street. W-Will you still be coming along with us?” He said, trying not to sound desperate, now looking downwards with a pretty shade of pink dusted across his cheeks. You look down the cobblestone path to see Klee merrily skipping from door to door, collecting handfuls of candy along the way.
“Yes, I’ll follow the both of you. Let’s go help her get some candy.” You offer him a genuine smile before drifting past him, leaving him behind for a moment. His teal orbs remain fixed on you, as he imagines himself walking along your side, his hand in yours and Klee just ahead of you both.
He wonders for a moment what it would be like if Klee was skipping down the street with his and your own child. The thought alone makes him blush deeper.
Tumblr media
GAWD HE’S SO FUCKING CUTE HELP I’M BEYOND SAVING GUYS😫😫😫

Crystalflies and Calla Lilies
kaeya x reader
word count: 801
warnings: not proof read
although Kaeya has never been keen on celebrating his birthday, you just couldn't help yourself
a/n; I would have written and posted this yesterday had I not been so busy. it's a bit rushed as you may be able to tell but I still wanted to post something for kaeya because he deserves it. happy belated birthday to my beautiful wife!
Tumblr media
When you came knocking on Kaeya's door at exactly 12.00 am he was worried to say the least. He was expecting some kind of threat or danger to succeed the sound of your voice at such an hour. So when he opened the door, weapon at the ready, to you beaming with a radiant smile akin to the sunlight at noonday, that worry immediately dissipated, leaving only confusion behind. And he sunk further into this confusion when you dragged him from out of his quarters and out of the walls of Mondstadt.
He quickly gave up on questioning what exactly you were doing, simply going with the flow, a soft chuckle escaping his lips each time he caught the determined glint in your eye. You refused to answer his questions or respond to any teasing or gentle taunts, just telling him to keep following you. So he did. He followed you past Springvale and even past the Winery until the two of you reached a more secluded but still atmospheric and scenic part of Mondstadt.
All of a sudden, you let go of his hand and started running forwards in front of the two of you. You stopped abruptly before throwing your hands in the air and whisper-yelling ‘surprise!’.  This made Kaeya really pause to take a look around. You stopped by a river bank decorated by all kinds of flowers, mainly snapdragons and, your lover’s favourite, calla lilies. The night sky was illuminated by the numerous crystalflies dancing in the air while the moon light waltzed with them on the surface of the water. With you in the middle, the scene was absolutely breathtaking.
“What’s all this?” Kaeya breathed out, not even bothering to mask the genuine surprise in his voice.
“A little birthday gift for you since I know you didn’t want any grand gestures! Happy birthday”, you spoke, trying to contain your excitement.
You knew that your partner was never particularly fond of celebrating his own birthday, he never really enjoyed anything that meant drawing attention to or dwelling on himself for too long. For this reason, he has always avoided birthday celebrations and even tries to elude telling people his birthday much like when he told Klee he was born on the 31st of February. He knew he shouldn’t have been as surprised as he was that the person he loves the most wanted to celebrate the day he came into existence in a way he would be comfortable with but he just couldn't help it.
“Thank you sweetheart,” he murmured while swiftly catching a crystalfly in his fist before unfurling his fingers to reveal only the crystal core.  “Truly, thank you.”
He neatly tucked it within your hair so that it rested on top of your ear and gave your temple a gentle kiss as he pulled away. And it was then that with both eyes revealed to you, you saw Kaeya bare and as he was – uncertain but still grateful – and the stars in his eyes glimmered with adoration for you.
“I didn’t really do much”, you smiled, enjoying the view of your boyfriend under the moonlight, the luminous crystalflies fluttering around seemingly highlighting him.
“You know,” Kaeya began as he lowered himself to the ground and started picking the calla lilies one by one. “It’s been so long since I celebrated my birthday that I actually forgot about it until now.”
A wistful smile made its way across his lips and you didn’t miss the melancholy glint in his eyes as he looked at the flowers in his hands.
“Well, I’m glad to be the first to celebrate with you after all this time”, you spoke softly as you sat down besides him, picking a flower out of his hand to place gently behind his ear.
Your tenderness rendered Kaeya speechless, leaving him struggling to choose words that could accurately express his feelings in that moment. He felt as though his heart wasn’t supposed to carry so much love for anyone in his lifetime so all of that love was overflowing in that moment, cutting off the connection between his brain and mouth. Though that didn’t matter, he didn’t need to say anything because you started speaking first.
“You’ve given me an idea, actually”, you sprung up on your two feet. “Crystal cores would be good for styling your hair, no?”
And as Kaeya watched you clumsily leap and stagger around in attempts to catch crystalflies as opposed to his sleek movements from earlier, he wondered if you were even aware of what he was really thanking you for earlier. Not only had you made him start to enjoy the thought of seeing another birthday, you also made him realise that he truly wasn’t alone anymore. Because of you, he never would be again.

How Genshin Characters View the Traveler (aka crushes galore)
I know this isn't a Genshin blog but I need to get this off my chest and organize my thoughts because I believe in Aether harem supremacy ✌
Disclaimer: this is meant for fun, so don’t get your knickers in a twist
Albedo
Albedo blatantly admits that the traveler fascinates them. He'll usually ask to hear of their numerous journeys and take notes on them. He quite enjoys their company, but Albedo is pretty clueless about his own feelings, especially those of the romantic sort. He wonders why he catches himself staring at them so much.
Amber
Amber is easily one of the traveler’s biggest supporters. She almost gets a bit too excited whenever they’re around, but she’ll also outright deny that she has a crush on them if anyone were to poke fun at her. If time allows it, she’ll often ask them to go gliding around Mondstadt with her.
Ayaka
Ever since she first heard of the traveler, their accomplishments genuinely impressed Ayaka. However, once she first met them in person, she was taken aback by how attractive they were. Furthermore, once they helped her out, she gets more insight of how truly wonderful they are and her affections (hence the dance performance).
Barbara
Barbara truly believes they are an actual gift sent by Barbatos himself. Not only are they kind and helpful, but they treat her with respect as a person, not some glorified object. She tends to get flustered easily and turns shy whenever the traveler compliments her.
Beidou
Beidou likes to laugh, and she thinks the traveler is funny. She often swaps stories about fights and adventures with them, so there’s definitely a bond between them! She especially appreciates their fighting spirit and would be honored to have them join their crew or at least be a drinking buddy (despite what the traveler says).
Bennett
The traveler is essentially an idol in Bennett's eyes. He admires them so much, but it never gets to the creepy level of obsession. He jumps at the opportunity to travel with them every time. Bennett isn't really good with distinguishing feelings, but knowing that they treat him as an equal makes his stomach flutter.
Childe
Hey girlie 😏 Childe gets off to the idea of someone successfully kicking his ass or potentially being able to kill him, so he is an absolute simp for the traveler. He genuinely loves it when they show disinterest at his flirting, and he swoons whenever they're sarcastic with him. He's not pathetic, he's just a sadomasochist.
Chongyun
Frankly, Chongyun’s just happy to have another friend besides Xingqiu. He also really likes the way they don’t push him out of his comfort zone, but instead try to gently coax him out. He’s often very cold to the touch and constantly chilly, but he feels oddly warm whenever the traveler is beside him.
Diluc
Appreciates the fact that the traveler isn't full of shit (unlike some people). He's impressed by their competence and their fighting abilities, so he doesn't hesitate in complimenting them. He usually says things without really thinking through them, so sometimes Diluc says something sappy or embarrassing without meaning to.
Diona
Diona thinks the traveler may or may not be cute. She won't admit it, though. She won't admit that she cares about their wellbeing either. The traveler is just another person who's going to come and go, so there's no point in getting invested in them. It's a relatively simple crush, nothing more.
Eula
Eula is more or less impressed with the traveler. She views them as a truly reliable person that is able to get the job done. Although she may seem skeptical at times, one of her greatest fantasies is to find more rebellious people like them and break free of Mondstadt and her lineage.
Fischl
Perhaps the traveler is a dashing monarch from another world! It genuinely excites her that they follow along with her roleplaying, even when some of her messages get lost in translation. She appreciates their friendly gestures and the fact they don’t treat her like an outsider.
Ganyu
A lot of people have a difficult have a hard time understanding Ganyu’s feelings, so it came as quite as a surprise that she and the traveler clicked almost instantly. The traveler treats her as another person, not as some ancient being; this type of behavior is what made her become flustered around them in the first place ☺️
Hu Tao
Thinks they’re super cute! She’s one who’s playful and flirty; however, her ways are a bit odd. She usually tries to tell what kind of casket she’d lick out for the traveler, what she’d dress them in, etc. Sometimes, she’ll bake “special cookies” in the shapes of bones just for them.
Jean
Much like Barbara, Jean sees the traveler as a blessing. However, unlike Barbara, Jean doesn't swoon over their looks or mannerisms; frankly, she's just glad that someone rational is willing to help and not make too much of a commotion (like some certain members of the Knights of Favonius).
Kazuha
Has feelings for the traveler and makes no effort to hide them. Often times Kazuha will write them poems or haikus; sometimes he'll add dried flowers or a pretty leaf. He truly has a way with words, and it never fails to stir something inside the traveler's chest. He's very gentle and mild-mannered, so he never forces anything too heavy on them.
Kaeya
Kaeya is a humongous flirt and everyone knows it. However, he seems even more so once the traveler is in the picture, and he has the tendency of showing off in some sort of way. He knows he's attractive and uses his looks to advantage whenever he can, though he makes sure to keep it somewhat subtle.
Keqing
Keqing isn’t the type to deal with people’s shit and isn’t fond of fools. Fortunately, the traveler doesn’t fall into either of those categories, so she gets along with them quite well. She can find similarities in their personalities (like working constantly), so she appreciates the fact that she can openly discuss these sort of problems with them.
Klee
Genuinely sees them as an older sibling! Klee often goes to them for advice or to spend the day together; often times, she'll send letters or drawings whenever they're apart (and yes, the drawings usually consist of her and the traveler blowing something up).
Lisa
Another flirt, no problems asked. Lisa makes euphemisms quite a bit, and it truly brings her joy when her comments make the traveler blush. Despite being scolded by Jean to tone it down a bit, she genuinely can't help it. The traveler is her personal cutie, and it's only natural for her to treat them as such, isn't it?
Mona
She could easily tell right away that the traveler was someone special upon first glance. Mona sometimes dreams about them - especially about how they helped her out and landed her a place to stay in Mondstadt. She’s grateful for everything that the traveler has done, yet she’ll deny any feelings for them with a bright blush on her face.
Ningguang
The traveler is seen more as a pet. Ningguang is straight up the sugar mama type, and she openly flaunts it. Granted, she respects the traveler highly, but something about their being Liyue’s hero sounds very, very charming. Whether or not she makes a romantic move is entirely up to her, but it’s not out of the question.
Noelle
Needless to say, Noelle gets flustered fairly easily, so whenever the traveler shows affection and support towards her abilities, she somewhat short-circuits. She'll usually try to play off the fluttering in her heart and simply convince herself that the traveler is only being nice, but she can't deny the fact that she has feelings for them.
Qiqi
Another one that looks up to the traveler as an older sibling. She often refers to her notebook to remind herself as to why she likes them so much; they’re patient with her and genuinely try to help her remember things, plus they’ll bring her candies from Mondstadt sometimes.
Razor
Razor has no idea what romantic feelings are or how he should identify them. All he knows is that he gets excited whenever he sees the traveler, and his metaphorical tail wags furiously. He's keen on protecting them and bringing them food, plus he likes to lie next to them when they relax by the fire.
Rosaria
Like Diluc, Rosaria likes how the traveler isn’t full of shit and can actually put up a decent fight. However, she isn’t the type to compliment them, but rather points out how they can further hone their skills. If anything, she acts more like the traveler’s drunk aunt.
Sayu
She’s mostly indifferent towards the traveler, but - like with most people - she envies their height. Sayu appreciates that they don’t make fun of her size, plus they somehow always manage to find her when she’s hiding for her nap, so she’s fairly interested in what kind of person they are.
Sucrose
Like with most people, Sucrose is quite shy around the traveler, but for some reason she feels more comfortable around them than anyone else. She respects them much like she respects Albedo. She also thinks the traveler has a very nice smile.
Thoma
Thoma is another flirt, but he’s much more reserved in his ways. He’ll often make encouraging comments or flatter the traveler with a bright smile. His flirting either makes the traveler blush or it goes right over their head. There is no in between.
Venti
Venti has a slight... obsession for them. Not in a creepy way, but more in a clingy sense. He practically hangs from them whenever he's messing around, and he unashamedly writes them songs. Venti is also a big fan of hugs! When he's drunk, though, that's when things take a darker, more seductive turn...
Xiangling
Xiangling’s poor little heart goes doki doki whenever she gets to cook for the traveler, have them cook with her, or eat a meal that they prepared. The way to her heart is definitely through her stomach! It’s a fairly small crush since cooking is her true love in life, but if the traveler pops up at Wanmin Restaurant and specifically asks for her again… Oh boy.
Xiao
Secretly has feelings for the traveler, but he refuses to admit it. Xiao thinks feelings like these are a waste of time and only bring pain; since he's been through much and the ultimate emo, he's even more emotionally constipated than the normal person. Although he doesn't outright say it, he'll often show his affection through actions.
Xingqiu
Two words: library dates. Whether if it's meant to be romantic or not, Xingqiu has an affinity for those who show genuine intelligence and is willing to discuss stories with him. Xingqiu could literally sit there all day and listen to the traveler tell him about the different worlds he's been to. It's quite refreshing!
Xinyan
Like Venti, Xinyan will write songs for the traveler, but she's more timid about showing them since rock music has yet a long way to go in Liyue, much less in Teyvat. She'll casually invite them for a jam session and ask for their opinion on how her songs sound. All in all, she thinks the traveler is pretty rad 👀
Yanfei
Yanfei is very skilled and knowledgeable in a wide range of topics, but when it comes to the art of seduction… not so much. She isn’t entirely sure if she has affections towards the traveler or not, but she enjoys being in their company nonetheless. However… she may or may not have tried to teach them Liyue law while over tea 😅
Yoimiya
Thinks the traveler is a lot of fun! She was already interested by the mere fact that they were an outsider, but once they showed their worth and came to her aid, it really sealed the deal. Viewing fireworks with them was an incredibly crucial moment, and she’ll keep that memory stored in her heart for all time.
Zhongli
Zhongli is very protective of them and wants to spoil them, but at the same time, he's also very, very broke. It's not sugar daddy status, obviously, but he enjoys treating them out to a dinner or a night on the town. The traveler thinks he's doing it just to be nice, but Paimon calls bullshit.

Tumblr media
summary: the production of genshin impact is amazing! now let’s see what the actors are really like separate from their characters
style & genre: bulleted; modern!au, general fic
warnings: mentions of drinking
notes: another idea that’s popped into my head! this is pretty random but i’ll be updating more parts if you guys like it☺️ 
Tumblr media
Aether and Lumine aren’t actually related in real life, they just look so much alike that they thought they were long lost siblings. Even off set they act like brother and sister because it feels natural after spending so much time together
Their phone contacts for each other are “my twin” and their greetings are always “i found you!”
Paimon uses a green suit to hide the lower half of her body but when she was getting used to “flying” around, she would forget that she didn’t actually fly and would step on other cast members’ toes: most of which were Aether’s
Bennett is the luckiest guy on set and actually pulled two five stars in a ten pull and hit 30 pulls to get another five star, however, he is really clumsy and trips over air every three seconds even if he watches where he walks
Diluc and Kaeya don’t hate each other but have a mutual rivalry over certain beverages. At one point they stopped talking to each other for a whole day because Diluc said the alcohol Kaeya brought him tasted cheap
Speaking of Diluc: he, Aether, and Albedo use the same brand of hair oil, only to realize when they sat next to each other and commented how familiar their “cologne” was
The drinking buddies (Kaeya, Beidou, Rosaria, Venti, Lisa, and Scaramouche) hang out on their days off sometimes
Klee really likes to be around Kaeya or Albedo because she thinks they’re good-looking. She gets excited when she’s in the same scene with either one of them so her personality is really genuine on screen
Albedo keeps chapstick in his pocket and uses it periodically between scenes. He zones out quite a lot because he gets bored easily. Yells at people to hydrate but in like a calming voice
Qiqi is already a pretty quiet kid but she likes to act and her role was perfect for her. You might see her sitting in the director’s chair when the cameras are rolling because they want her to see what she’s a part of. aw
Mona likes her hat and keeps it on most times but it always wacks people in the face when she turns. She doesn’t mind when it hits Scaramouche because he has his own hat. They have impromptu hat battles sometimes to which the costume designers get nervous about
Fischl can’t speak German for the life of her and she really likes Jojo’s and laughs in references with Razor. You might think she’s still in character off camera but no, that’s just her
Zhongli is possibly the richest person on the set but everyone else pays for all of his expenses just because. He does pay for everyone’s coffee especially when they have an early morning shoot
Scaramouche, Keqing, and Xiao have a group chat where they poke fun at other cast members showing up late and then proceeding to roast them behind their backs
They also like to change their lines in the middle of a shoot like Keqing ranting about the archons but instead she replaces them with other cast member’s names; Scaramouche replacing “when did i give you permission to issue your own orders” with “i’m hot aren’t i;” and Xiao repeatedly saying “can i eat something other than almond tofu please” or “i feel bad for this guy, he needs a hug” while looking straight into the camera
Xiao is actually a shy guy who is very kind to everyone around him so the cast was surprised when he started saying character lines because they never heard that tone in his voice before. He was mildly flustered afterwards from the compliments
Out of all the cast members, Aether forgets his lines the most even though he doesn’t say that much. When he forgets he autopilots to “windblade!”
The younger cast have a group chat to keep each other accountable for their early shooting times. But they all forget and end up late to the reading table
Signora actually did punch Venti in the stomach too hard on accident and they had to take a break as she apologized profusely to which Venti kept reassuring her that it was fine; got his gnosis back after the scene was over as symbolism for “i’m sorry i punched you in the gut really hard”
Barbara sings like an angel and the theme song for the series is written and sung by her
Childe stared at his prop bow for a good five minutes when he first got it and told the director that he didn’t prepare in using a bow but for “dual-wielding.” (plot twist: they never actually told him he was using a bow as a weapon but they knew he was a fast learner). All of the shots of him using it are genuine confusion as to how the thing works
One time with his last shot, he threw the bow on accident and hit Bennett
During the cast interviews, Venti likes to do them all with Zhongli or Xiao because they actually let him talk as much as he wants without overpowering his already loud voice
When he does it with Paimon, they tend to blow out the surrounding people’s eardrums so they were never paired again haha
Other interview pairings are Ningguang and Beidou and people like watching them together because of how soothing they sound and just the overall way they talk to each other
The opposite with Kaeya, Childe, and Lisa interviews. They keep flirting with the interviewers and viewers
“Hey girlies, watch the next episode” wInK
“Seize the day. Watch us again tomorrow night 8:30pm PST” wOnK
“What a cutie, would you like to see us again?” im blushing
Honestly, anyone could listen to Zhongli talk all day so he has longer interviews because even the people asking the questions want to keep him for longer
The whole cast is like one big family and whether they’re protagonists or not, they all have a close bond behind the scenes

Tumblr media
The King of Thieves
Kaeya left Angel’s Share for the night. Dark cheeks tinted a dusty deep red from a night of indulgence. Diluc was there, tending the bar coincidentally.
“There have been a plethora of incidents revolving around thieves as of late. I suggest you be mindful when leaving for the night Kaeya.”
His younger brother’s light warning drifted back into the depths of his mind as he strolled the nearly vacant streets of Monstadt’s city. Of course, on his way back to headquarters; the Knight took the long way around. Cutting through a specific alleyway that lead to a patch of grassy plains above a stone stair case. Out the corner of his eye he saw a shadow zip by and over the short roof top of someone’s home. As he moved to take a precautionary step backwards the shadow figure landed behind him. Assuming Kaeya was drunk enough to one up, the figure moved in to grab Kaeya’s shoulder in efforts to flip him onto his back and steal his vision. Kaeya, in a rebuttal too quick for this thief’s skill set. Side stepped and ducked, only to elbow his assailant in the chest cavity and then reappear behind them with his sword drawn.
“Why is Diluc always right?” Kaeya sighed, a frown on his face as he stared at the person in front of him, whom he had knocked the wind right out of. He wasn’t sure who the person was, given they were covered from head fo toe in all black. When Kaeya saw that they were recovering he twirled his sword, knocking them unconscious with the hilt of his blade. When the thief dropped, Kaeya looked down at them. He moved to uncover their face and saw a young man. He saw, you? His eye went wide, you were not much older than Diluc. The young Knight couldn’t help but think it was a shame to see such wasted potential resort to something of a scoundrel at best. He threw your arm over his shoulder, picking you up with a deep exhale. Effortlessly carrying you off back to one of the empty confinement cells within the knights headquarters. The one he picked out had been out of use for quite some time, given Klee had blown it up rendering the cell unlivable (for her). — It was a perfect place for a thief, especially one that tried to steal his vision.
Kaeya sat on the edge of a small table in the corner of the room, arms crossed and a light frown on his face. He waited until you had come through and regained consciousness. In a panic, your dark eyes darted across the room. Something Kaeya found quite amusing.
“Where..am I?” You huffed out, there was a draft in the room and you visibly shivered. Kaeya stayed seated looking at you.
“In the Knights of Favonius’ HQ, a confinement cell to be more precise.” He replied nonchalantly and as you tried to move, chains rattled against your wrists and ankles.
“Let me out of here, else you’ll be sorry—“
You were cut off by Kaeya’s abrupt laugh, it made you frown and your brow crease. “What’s so fuckin’ funny?” Kaeya’s chuckle faded into a sigh, his finger tapping idly on the bicep of his crossed arms.
“Nothing, it’s just you are in no position to talk. In fact, I bet if I did away with you right here I could get away with it.” His smile may have been playful but his eye hinted at something much darker.
“You.. can’t do that, you’re an honor bound knight it would be a disgrace—“ Kaeya smiled, this time it wasn’t playful but it still held amusement.
“Relax I’m not a barbarian. Why don’t you tell me why you tried to rob me in the middle of an alleyway and most interestingly... try to take my vision.” After Kaeya stated his questions there was a stagnant silence that sat in the stale air of the confinement cell. Kaeya looked down at you, who shifted uncomfortably. “Oh? No answer? Are you sure that’s what you wish to do?” Your eyes drifted over to look up at Kaeya. Who moved from his spot on the table to walk towards you. In the dim light of the cell his features illuminated, it may have been the full moon that peeked through the barred window that made him look so appealing. The sound of his boots tapping down on the stone floors of the cell sent a slight chill down your spine. He towered over you as you sat on the floor. A light smirk threatened the corner of his lips, as he stared down at you with a quizzical eye. The air around him was cool and it seemed to get even colder as he knelt down to eye level. “I think I’ll give you until the count of say- three.” He held up three fingers before putting them down.
“What?”
“One.” He moved his hand behind your head almost as if he was cradling you. Unbeknownst to you his sword appeared in his palm. Your side profile reflected off the blade as it drew near your head. “Two.” His voice was deep and melodic and his tone evermore serious as he counted down. He wasn’t smiling anymore, seeing him this serious started giving you second thoughts about keeping your mouth shut. He was so close you could smell him, eye half lidded as he stared down at you and a crease in his brow. Against the back of your neck your hair brushed against the blade that dangerously kissed the skin of the nape of your neck. He leaned in and as he drew near, a light grin forming at his lips. Was he enjoying the reaction he was getting out of you? Or the interrogation process? Your hand pressed against his chest to try and move him back you couldn’t stand to have him that close. He paused for a split second, his eye dropping down to your hand, it was warm. “Thre-“
“Wait!” You say, your dark eyes shifting up to peer into his. Staring at him this closely, being able to smell him. It was hard not to think about the things you wanted him to do to you while sitting helpless on the cell floor. He was ridiculously attractive and equally as intimidating when he wished to be.
“Hm? Did you change your mind?” He asked, flashing a cold smile. Your cheeks flushed, he smelled like the first snow fall of winter, shamelessly it made blood rush to where you didn’t need it to. His eyes drifted down briefly before he looked at you more closely. “Or maybe you didn’t?” He purred lightly and a smile crossed his face again.
“I-I..I was just.. curious as to what it’s like to have a vision I don’t have one.” You spoke out, Kaeya didn’t sense a lie from you. Even as you continued to try and make him feel sorry for you. “I haven’t been blessed by the Archons. I’m poor and I...I can’t do much of anything let alone use a vision. Being a thief is all I’ve ever known. The only way I know to survive. I wasn’t going to hurt you.” His brow creased as you babbled that last part, you caught yourself and spoke sheepishly. “Not..that I could’ve anyway—“ Kaeya laughed again, he moved back but not very far. His sword disappeared in one swift movement and he took a minute to look at you. Your hands moved over to your lap, you didn’t think he noticed.
“What am I going to do with you hm?” He pondered aloud as he stood up, a hand resting on his hip. He stared down at you, “You assaulted me in an alleyway, tried to rob me and now..” You couldn’t help but think it wasn’t much of an assault, you were the one who got hit square in the chest and knocked unconscious after all.
“Kaeya-“
“And you know who I am? You’re quite the bold thief. Tell me if I let you go, how do I know you won’t do it again?” You shifted uncomfortably, nothing he was saying was arousing but, truthfully you fell victim to his charm the moment he began questioning you, not to mention the count down and intimidation attempt. Kaeya noticed, he was quite observant but he was doing his job- for the most part.
“I won’t.” You lied, he saw right through it. Kaeya crossed his arms again, if he felt any remorse for you before it was gone now. You avoided eye contact with him even as he stared down at you.
“Do you like being chained up in a cell, you’re excited.” He asked genuinely, his voice was soft and curious. It made you twitch uncomfortably. You shook your head and Kaeya tilted his. “Really? Your as hard as this stone floor, I wasn’t going to tease you about it but it only...fed into every words I’ve said to you thus far.” You could hear him smile, you made the mistake of looking up at him. He was gorgeous and the blush that crossed your face made his smile widen.
“I..can’t help how you’re making me feel. You’re just-“
“I’m just what?” He cut you off, moving his hand to rest on the top of your head. He gently ran his fingers through your hair with his gloved palm. Idly moving his hand down to the back of your head before gripping the ends of your hair between his fingers. “Were you going to say charming? Sexy, hot?” He asked, his grip on your hair wasn’t that tight or painful it aroused a light whimper to fall from your lips. Kaeya noticed your hand palming your growing erection — your pants were growing tighter you couldn’t help it. With his boot he kicked your hand away and stepped on the back of your hand, causing the restraints he had you in to rattle against the stone floor. “You did something bad why should you gain pleasure after committing a crime? As I see it I’m the victim here. You assaulted me in an alleyway.” His grin was wide and with his free hand he moved to unzip his pants. Immediately your mouth began to water as he slipped his hand inside to touch himself right before your very eyes.
“I-I won’t do it again..” You lied once again and he saw through it yet again. His grin only widened, he was going to enjoy this.
“I don’t believe you, therefore...” His grip tightened in your hair and he pulled your head back. “I think I’ll teach you a lesson you won’t soon forget.” The weight he had on your hand increased when he saw you try to move your other hand to slip inside your own pants, it was a warning not to try and relieve yourself. You moved your hand away with a whine as Kaeya freed himself from the tight confines of his trousers. His thick member prodded against your cheek before he let it rest on your lips. He let out a light and playful hum as he stared down at you, almost as if he was beckoning you to open your mouth.
“Kaeya I-“ As soon as you opened your mouth he pushed himself inside, the taste of his pre made you shudder and your eyes flutter. He held your hair and head firmly in place as he thrusted deeper into your mouth. He was genuinely surprised that you were able to take him all the way to the back of your throat.
“It’s not polite to speak with your mouth full.” He teased. “Go on, keep stuffing your face thief.” As you struggled to swallow his cock, you couldn’t stop your hand from reaching down to palm the hard tent in your pants. Kaeya caught wind of your actions and knocked your forearm to the side with his other boot. The deep groan you let out reverberated against his shaft, Kaeya had to bite back his own moan as he pulled your hair again which inevitably moved your head back so your lips wrapped around his tip. “If you do it again you’ll regret it.” He wasn’t smiling when he spoke, it was a threat you weren’t going to see through to the end. Kaeya chuckled lightly and moved his free hand down to cup your cheek, his thumb brushing sweetly against your cheekbone. “You’re so obedient...”
He mumbled, his touch was gentle as he moved his hands up to tangle in your hair. It was almost too gentle and had you questioning his motives. You made eye contact with him and a sly grin spread across his face like wildfire. Without warning his grip tightened to hold your head in place. He slammed hips against your face, bottoming out completely in the back of your tight throat. He groaned out quietly and under his breath, as the ridges of your throat and mouth constricted against his thick shaft. Your soft lips tickled the underside of the base of his cock. His pants sagged and his balls pressed against the stubble of your chin, which only edged him on and reflexively urged his hips to thrust against your face. He exhaled with a light chuckle that sifted through the quiet air of the confinement cell.
You whimpered, drooling all over his cock as you squeezed your eyes shut, it took everything in you not to milk and pump your shaft. Your balls were heavy and full and you ached for a release that you didn’t think you’d get. Kaeya looked down on you to subconsciously check to see if you were okay and to see the sight of his dick disappearing down your throat. He pulled back by a few centimeters and you successfully breathed in through your nose. The taste of his pre on your tongue reminded you of a fermented apple wine. None too surprising to say the least and all the more enjoyable.
Kaeya rutted into your mouth again, you choked and he chuckled. He felt your tongue swirl around his shaft against a prominent vein that curved up from the base of his cock. Your leg twitched in need as he moved, beginning a rough and steady rhythm. He noticed the bulge in your throat, it only made him move faster. Kaeya let out deep exhale and a light moan that was simply music to your ears. His head tilted back as you took him, he glanced down at you for a moment and his lips curled into a smile seeing you hard at work.
“If your mouth is this tight, I wonder how your ass must feel.” He teased you, moving one hand down to wipe away that inevitable tears that formed in your eyes. His other hand loosened in your hair but still rested in place idly. He pulled back completely, giving you a chance to breathe. As you caught your breath Kaeya looked down at you, the blush that stained your cheeks inflated his ego a bit. He arched a brow, waiting for you to keep going.
You gave into that cute, suggestive stare and moved your hand up to stroke him; something you wanted to do for yourself since he started fucking talking. You dragged your tongue along the thick length of his member before taking him into your mouth. What you didn’t choke down, you pumped with your hand. Kaeya finally let out a proper moan it was deep and breathy, he started throbbing in your mouth and palm; biting down on his lower lip in ecstasy. In the midst of milking him dry he took hold of your hair again, only to push himself right back down your throat, he needed that tight fit to finish him off. You were going to swallow it all, not that you minded; he was as inebriating as Everclear. As he filled your throat and mouth, he pulled back his warm cum dripping down your chin. He watched you reach up to wipe it away and lick the back of your hand.
His eye drifted down to your continually throbbing erection, he noticed a dark spot where your own pre had ruined your trousers. He stepped back and moved his hand away from your hair, shifting as he pulled his pants up only to zip them up. Your expression was absolutely priceless in his eyes. You opened your mouth to speak to find that your jaw was already sore from his earlier actions. Kaeya moved to sit on the edge of the table again with a light smile on his face.
“What?” He says like he didn’t just pump his seed down your throat. He made an ‘O’ with his mouth as he looked at your disheveled and needy appearance as if he had forgotten. He didn’t. He moved to toss you a key to the restraints you were in. “You’re free to go and...do something about that.” He smiled with a teasing glint in his eye, you looked at the key in front of you. Picking it up with a frown on your face as your freed yourself. “I told you I’d teach you lesson you wouldn’t forget.” He chuckled moving to cross his arms over his chest. You looked at him and he smirked.
“Asshole.” You mumbled, moving to stand up, Kaeya looked your way not feeling remorseful in the slightest.
“You do realize you tried to assault me and steal my vision. I think I let you off rather easy if you ask me. Going straight to Jean just didn’t feel right.” He quipped, and stood to walk over to the door opening it up for you to go. “I don’t want to see you here again, I’d rather the Cat’s Tail or Angel share preferably. Maybe then you’d get a proper..reward and the aftercare I so graciously give to those who listen.” He said, completely insinuating he wanted to see you again under the right circumstances. With a pout you exited the cell, there wasn’t really much you could say to that. You were indeed happy you didn’t have to spend the night in a dingy unlivable cell. Kaeya leaned against the doorway and crossed his arms. “Till we meet again King of Thieves.”
Bonus
A week went by, you were at Sara’s sitting down to a late night meal before heading off to Springvale for a few days to visit family. You poked at the fisherman’s toast you ordered, thinking about the Knight who left you thoroughly frustrated. You wanted to beat his ass in all honesty but, apart of you just wanted to—
“Well if it isn’t The King of Thieves.”

do you happen to take requests? if so, may i- hcs abt playing and simping on genshin impact with kenma, kuroo, oikawa and bokuto-? you can lessen the cast if you want^^ thank you for the time! i love your blog 💖
GENSHIN IMPACT HERE I COME
Tumblr media
genshin impact frenzy!
— kenma, kuroo, oikawa, and bokuto play genshin impact with you!
gen masterlist
taglist ( open! ) —
a/n — this game has taken literally so much of my time, it was only meant to be that i fulfill this request—also bokuto’s has minor spoilers to venti’s story quest! it’s pretty vague but it’s still there
Tumblr media
kenma kozume.
✧。 this guy can take on literally everyone with just the standard team
✧。 and he does—he sees no point in wishing for people when he’s already got a decent team given to him for free
✧。 you’ve literally fought with him so many times because he forgets that wishing is a thing and finds it strange that you are willing to spend your life savings on a single five star character
✧。 he will only wish on the standard banner, since that’s where you can get constellations for the standard team
✧。 somehow he’s collected so many constellations for kaeya and amber, it’s unreal
✧。 you’ve debated on sending a complaint to mihoyo because kenma can’t send any of his primogems to you
✧。 he’s currently AR 50 and still has the beginner’s banner untouched aside from noelle
✧。 “kenma, would it kill you to wish on a banner once? just one ten wish summon. one time.”
✧。 “but i already have my team up to level 90, why should i put in the effort to grind for anything else?”
✧。 “because the other characters look nice?”
✧。 “okay, and?”
✧。 there’s no winning against him
✧。 you ain’t ever catching him simp
✧。 you almost caught him eyeing kaeya’s new idle animation but to no avail </3
✧。 timeskip kenma streams on twitch, where even some of his viewers are completely distraught that he never wishes on the banners
✧。 on multiple occasions he’s held events where he gives you money for primogems, and just streams you wishing for the characters instead of him
✧。 he’d never admit it out loud, but his heart flutters when he sees the excited look on your face as you pull a five star character
tetsurou kuroo.
✧。 for shits and giggles he probably decided to choose lumine instead of aether
✧。 when he realized that he liked aether’s design more than hers, he just stopped using her entirely
✧。 if he hadn’t gotten all the way to AR 30 before this realization, he probably would’ve started over with a new account just to choose aether instead
✧。 he doesn’t play this game religiously, but he is far from a f2p guy
✧。 will shamelessly simp with you if he deems the character simp worthy—if not he’ll just watch you simp and then simp over his own characters
✧。 he almost lost his mind over albedo and had a heart attack when he ended up pulling a weapon instead
✧。 don’t even get me started when he laid eyes on ganyu
✧。 if you can’t get a five star character you want, he’ll purposely spend money so that he gets them before you and rub it in your face
✧。 that’s what he did for zhongli
✧。 “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU GOT ZHONGLI?”
✧。 “i mean, he’s right here. look! isn’t he so sexy? he would be a great addition to my team. you enjoy having jean though! i’ve heard she’s a great healer.”
✧。 “tetsurou, i am going to murder you.”
✧。 “no you won’t.”
✧。 “i won’t. i just won’t help you with domains anymore.”
✧。 “okay okay wait this can be discussed—”
✧。 he hates grinding and will continuously hold if off until he physically can’t defeat any of the ascension material bosses
✧。 however, he completes ascension quests the moment he can—it’s just his luck that he has to deal with the consequences when he has to deal with mobs with his severely under leveled team
✧。 both of you raced to get to AR 40 first, and you won since you were actually smart enough to level up your characters long before he did
✧。 you two like completing domains together rather than doing it online or alone
✧。 genshin is more of a leisure pastime for kuroo, but he finds himself playing it more and more with each passing day
tooru oikawa.
✧。 surprisingly? he’s much better at genshin than what you were originally expecting
✧。 it’s probably because he has enough patience to grind for all of the materials SDJKFJKSDF
✧。 but because he prioritizes volleyball a lot more, he’s only at AR 36 while you’re on your way to AR 47
✧。 he takes it upon himself to compare himself to childe, and you just have to go with it because tooru will not take no for an answer
✧。 just to spite you he goes around saying “hey girlie” every now and then
✧。 he’ll come up behind you quietly and whisper in your ear, causing you to jump at the sound of his voice
✧。 “hey girlie, hold still.”
✧。 “TOORU COULD YOU NOT—”
✧。 “c’mon, you know you you like it.”
✧。 “maybe if you dressed up into childe’s foul legacy transformation, i would be persuaded.”
✧。 “SAY NO MORE”
✧。 simps for both mona and diluc lowk
✧。 i just know he purposely chooses the suggestive and flirty choices every chance he gets
✧。 he had a field day with ying’er (that perfume lady idk)
✧。 he hates spiral abyss with every fiber of his being and refuses to do anything more after he got xiangling
✧。 he likes flaunting his five stars to random people he plays with in domains just for the fun of it
✧。 his favorites to flaunt are childe and xiao (he was originally wanting ganyu but her banner expired before he could pull her so he just wasted the rest of his pity and got xiao instead)
✧。 idk why but i get the sense that he’s eagerly waiting for an announcement that scaramouche will be a playable character
✧。 he will give you money for genshin if you ask nicely
✧。 if you ask nicely and you give him something in return
✧。 but all in all, he does genuinely enjoy the game
koutarou bokuto.
✧。 kou will either forget to play it for months or you’ll have to pry it from his hands after being locked away in his room for at least a week
✧。 his favorite five star to use would probably be klee, just because of all the explosions she sets off
✧。 definitely simps for ningguang and albedo, but will see to it that he proves himself better than any of the guys you simp for
✧。 he loves using fischl so that he can use oz
✧。 he doesn’t take the game very seriously but still manages to reach AR 40, even though he has no idea how builds work
✧。 he has no desire to learn either, he’s just enjoying himself and exploring the world
✧。 he gets carried away with exploring the world that he found both all of the anemoculus and the geoculus before AR 40
✧。 goes into emo mode when he doesn’t pull the character he wants
✧。 the story quests make him sad when he does them, especially venti’s
✧。 he regretted not having venti after he finished that story quest and just watched the story with venti and his old friend over and over again to mourn
✧。 and he checks up on stanley every time he sees him anywhere, usually in front of mondstadt at night
✧。 “i promise you that i will never leave you or let any harm come to you, y/n”
✧。 “kou, that’s sweet of you—”
✧。 “i mean it! i would rather die than put you in harm’s way”
✧。 you have to comfort him repeatedly and eventually gets over it
✧。 but now he’s saving up for venti’s rerun and has not been deterred or tempted for anyone else, mans is almost at 10k primogems for this guy
✧。 mihoyo pls give bokuto a venti rerun
✧。 it’s safe to say that venti slowly becomes bokuto’s favorite character
✧。 you should watch out before kou becomes too emotionally attached to every character

genshin impact | T | 1967 childe/lumine | established relationship [ao3]
Childe and Lumine remember their first kiss very, very differently.
-
“We’ll go in the summer,” Childe had promised, and she had honestly believed that with all her heart. Remembered her adventures in the Golden Heart Archipelago with Klee and Jean and imagined all golden shores and blue skies and wide, open oceans. She was ready for that.
She was not ready for the bulky winter wear. She was not ready for the temperature that was like large hydro and cryo slimes all over her body, freezing her until there’s not much left to be frozen again.
(This is where she starts to doubt Childe’s rose-colored glasses.)
It is… quite the experience, to visit his home in Snezhnaya. There was no way she was declining the offer now that she was bound for the nation, and not with Childe giving her free pass into the country despite all the atrocities she’s done to Fatui agents across Teyvat. The least she could do was visit their little home, right? Say hello to his parents, his brothers and sisters, maybe stay for dinner, and then go to her hotel…right?
Wrong.
At this point, she is well aware of how Childe can be. Sweet and romantic when something in him softens, when that part of him that is always craving battle dissipates once his vulnerability sinks in. It’s a side of him anyone rarely sees, one she’s so proud of having the privilege to see on occasion. What slipped her mind is that the wall Childe sets up for the rest of the people in his life—other diplomats, other Fatui, other adventurers, the people he comes to just to have a fistfight with—is a wall he didn’t need to keep up with his family.
They arrive sometime past noon, after a long boat ride and a short trek up a mountain slope. The sky is an enthralling shade of blue. Quite like his eyes. It was snowing lightly—“it feels like it’s always snowing in Snezhnaya,” Childe had told her once—but it wasn’t the dreary kind of snow, rather the one that was a little exciting to watch. Childe knocked at the door and opened it with a yell, which she assumed was a greeting.
She mentally prepared herself for it, but she hadn’t expected Teucer, Anton, and Tonia to greet her with “sister!!” just as she walked through the premises.
Just how much had he told them in his letters?
(How much of her that they knew was the Lumine of Childe’s imagination, one that she would have to keep up with?)
She never peeked at the letters whenever he was busy writing them, never bothered because she felt like it would be an invasion of privacy, but now that she was here under the familiar sea-blue gaze of his entire family… she wondered if even just one look would have been alright.
Getting the approval of the younger siblings was an easy task; all she had to do was give them a few of the souvenirs she and Childe had brought over from their travels and promise to sit down and tell them of her adventures for them to give her the thumbs-up. The less impressionable ones, however, were Childe’s older sisters and brothers, who were polite and homely but a lot curter, as if trying to gauge if she were a good match with their younger brother. If the way his eldest sister had gifted Lumine her own set of Snezhnayan clothing even before dinner is any sign, perhaps she had at least passed their preliminary test.
But family time is very important in Snezhnayan culture, and dinner—well, dinner was an entirely different affair altogether.
-
“You’ve known each other for a long time, Ajax has been writing letters about you since.”
Liyue and Osial and Rex Lapis seem so far away now. “It took us a while to get along,” Lumine admits, side-eyeing Childe, “but once we found our footing with each other, it was enjoyable company.”
Childe’s eldest brother laughs. “Ajax. Enjoyable company.”
“You must be one hell of a woman to persist like that,” his other brother jokes.
“Well, that just means he made a good impression on her right away,” a sister muses.
“He got me out of a tough spot,” Lumine answers, remembering Yujing Terrace and the Rite of Descension. “I owed him one for that.”
“Isn’t that sweet!” his mother coos. “Ajax has changed, to be so sweet from the start.”
“Sweet? It was more of Sexual tension and”—Lumine yells, trying to cover him up: “Hey?! There are kids!”—"aggression from the start.”
“Oh, honey, don’t mind him,” Childe’s mother says, chuckling softly. “His siblings are used to him being straightforward like that.”
“I’m not…” Lumine murmurs, slinking back into her seat, causing the entire table to roll with laughter.
Dinner lasts for what seems like hours, and Lumine sits there shyly poking at her food as questions get pelted at her and Chllde about their relationship. The question of marriage is inescapable too, and she and Childe share a glance at each other for the briefest of moments before answering “it’ll come when it’ll come.”
But while it is easy to shrug off the adults’ more serious questions like that, it is the children’s concerns that are harder to ignore. So when Teucer asks—“How did your first kiss go?”
—Childe instantly pipes up and goes: “Oh, let me tell this one, babe. We were at Liyue Harbor together—"
It only takes Childe a few sentences before Lumine screeches, “No no no no please stop!!”, covering his mouth with her hands.
The whole family just laughs.
-
It is only until after dinner, when Lumine is sure that most of her face had already melted off of her skull, when she gets to pull Childe aside while in their (shared!) bedroom and ask: “No, seriously, Ajax. How do you remember our first kiss?”
“Was my storytelling over at dinner not enough, my принцесса? Would you rather I give you a reenactment?”
She blushes fiercely at being called a princess, but she tries her best to ignore it. “What? No, all I’m asking is—”
Childe does not pay attention and holds her in position, pushing her backward until she’s sat on the bed and he’s standing in front of her, towering (and admittedly a little… delicious, now that he’s dressed down and fresh from the shower.) “We’d come from a fight—the best thing to do with you. Or second best thing,” Childe muses, but then shakes his head back into focus. He holds Lumine’s chin with his index finger and thumb and forces her to look up. “I beat you that time.”
She narrows her eyes, staring back at him defiantly. “Only because I was handicapped.”
“Sure, my love. Luck on my part.” Childe grins. “I was trying to get you to stop sulking.”
“‘Warriors must learn to take part in losses,’” Lumine quotes him, and he nods.
He comes closer to her, carefully switching so that his palm is cupping her cheek instead, wiping an imaginary tear or bruise on her cheek. “You were so strong, but I’d tired you out more than usual. You were slumped in your seat, so I went to try and get you to rest, and you closed your eyes and leaned your head on my hand—” Childe smiles, a genuine one, small and sweet it gets Lumine’s heart racing. “I couldn’t help it, you know? I didn’t know what to tell you—how to tell you, so when you opened your eyes, I decided—fuck, I’m going to kiss her right here.”
Childe leans forward and presses a kiss on her lips.
“And I thought, ‘she’s going to hate me after this,’ but you didn’t, and instead you put your hands on your shoulders and then my hair, and you kissed me back,” he sighs. “You should really be cute more often, my sweet. You were so needy. Like this, let me show you—”
And just as Childe is about to press his lips on hers again, she places the palm of her hand against his mouth and pushes him roughly away.
“That is not what happened.”
Lumine is sure and inconvincible.
“What?”
There’s a moment of silence between the both of them that seems to extend for miles.
Childe blinks, his mind finally settling back into place. “That is what happened. What do you mean? Did you forget how our first kiss went?”
“Did you forget how our first kiss went? That was not how it went.”
Irritation clouds Childe’s visage for a brief moment. “Okay, how did it go then?”
Lumine clears her throat. Childe gets off his knees and back to his feet, settling into position. Lumine takes his hand in hers to put it into place—
And squeezes her cheeks with it twice. Childe goes lax. Lumine holds it in place, just open enough so she can talk.
“You were teasing me. We did come from a fight, and I did lose. And you thought I was being a sore loser about it, but the only true part was that I was sore. And tired.” She squeezes her cheeks with his hand another time. “‘Aww, defeat getting in your head?”’ she says, mimicking his intonation. ‘Warriors must learn to take part in losses, you know?’”
Childe tries to pull away. “I did not—”
“You did,” she insists, holding him in place. “You wouldn’t even let me catch my breath. Do you remember what I did?” He shakes his head. “I bit you,” she answered for him, gently digging her teeth into the flesh between his thumb and index finger. “You yelped and pulled your hand back. Do you remember now?”
He blinks, the memory of it slowly coming back. “Oh no.”
Lumine snickers. “Yes, oh no, Ajax.” She takes him by the wrist and pulls him closer to her, back to his knees. “‘Feisty little girlie,’” she says, in his voice, mockingly. “I growled at you. You chuckled, you bastard. And then you pulled me by the chin and kissed me.”
She presses a kiss over his lips, shaking a little from holding back laughter.
And, with her mouth still on his, she continues—“And I bit you—”
She digs her teeth on his lower lip before pulling away.
“And that excited you because of course it did, and then we—”
“Made out on the mountainside overlooking Liyue Harbor. Holy shit,” Childe finishes, face pale. When he collapses onto the bed next to her, Lumine doesn’t even try to stop the full-blown laugh coming out of her.
“I can’t believe you made it into some sweet romantic memory!” she teases him. “That’s your taste, huh?”
“I swear, that is how I remember that moment!”
“Well you remember it wrong,” Lumine notes, grinning. “Since when have we been gentle kisses, Ajax? You said it yourself—it’s all sexual tension and aggression.”
“I can be romantic sometimes.”
“Sometimes. Not that time.”
When Childe sinks further down the mattress, she presses a kiss on her forehead and looks down at him with soft eyes. “But if that’s how you want to remember it, we can always make that how it goes.”
And when he smirks, for the briefest of moments she thinks she sees his eyes light up in a way she’s always wanted to see. “Really?”
“Really, you dummy,” is all she gets to say before Childe takes her lips with his, a slow, decadent kiss of gratitude. All sweet things, but Lumine knows better to believe that’s going to last any more than a minute, his hot breath already against her neck.
And she thinks, chuckling: maybe it’s better like this. At least they’ll have a version of their first kiss that’s the tiniest bit more family-friendly.
