"You're a cruel person Master Diluc."

"I'm nowhere near as cruel as you."

The chatter of the tavern obscured most of the conversation you had with the redhead but you did your best to stay close to him. Tonight was like every other night - a full bar with various people, some were drunk others not quite there yet. You knew what today was but the annoying man refused to take your gifts, he even had the nerve to be annoyed. Feeling helpless, you decided to help him run the tavern in any way you could. Be it serving drinks, cleaning the counter or just chatting with the customers in order to ensure that Diluc gets a moment of quiet was the best you could manage. Diluc grumbled about everything you were doing and would constantly hover over you, his gaze never once leaving your body as he would rudely steal whatever you were holding and cleaning.

Petty is what he was.

"Diluc." you said with a firmer tone than before. "It is your birthday, is there nothing else you would rather be doing?"

He came to a screeching halt and Diluc thanked his lucky stars for being behind the bar because that way, you were not able to see just how much his arms were shaking. He just wasn't sure why they were shaking. Anxiousness? Annoyance? Anger?

Anger was a feeling that the man had become far too familiar with ever since he met you. It was never directed at you though, oh goodness no. It was always at either himself or the people who would surround you, the people who would take up so much of your time and would never leave you be.

As much as he didn't want to admit it the fact of the matter was that Diluc was a beyond jealous person.

All he wanted to was to spend a quiet evening with you, in his home, with a good meal perhaps. The two of you could talk and play games all night long, that really was the perfect way to celebrate his birthday. Heck, Diluc would have even allowed you to pinch his cheeks and pull his ears if it meant that you could stay with him. All he needed to do was ask you and you would surely say yes. You were a sweet person, like a little piece of soft candy personified into a human being.

It was such a shame that Diluc would lose himself completely whenever he was around you.

If he would ever even dare to open his mouth around you, it felt like a nasty little cat took away his tongue and he was ultimately forced to resort to pathetic grunts and weak replies such as yes and no.

You had far too much power over him.

That weakness of his is exactly what lead to this predicament - him and you, in the bar, surrounded by people that Diluc really was just not in the mood to even look at let alone speak. This was his own doing though, he practically forced himself to work this tiresome shift in order to avoid you for the rest of the evening and even that plan ended up backfiring on him.

You really were cruel, in your own little ways. The way in which you held his heart and possesed his soul without as much lifting a finger, it drove the tycoon mad.

Until he could somehow manage to get over his ridiculous fear he was reduced to nothing but a bitter and jealous man who would watch you from the sidelines.

Wonder if Kaeya thought Diluc hated him, because when Diluc returned to Mond he was so different than when he was younger.

The Diluc he knew wears his emotions on his sleeves, be it anger, happiness, frustration, sadness,...etc.

But this Diluc is...blank. He's serious all the time. Blank face, annoyed frown, sarcastic/tired/professional voice it's only one of those three.

His brother who couldn't lie, who could only be described as sunshine personified who he could hide, be protected, bask and work in his shadow turned into someone who's always annoyed at worst or plain tired all the time at best.

How guilty could he have felt, to be a reason in this transformation. When did he start thinking that the three years away did more damage and that incident wasn't the only reason.

Does he stay up at night thinking that if he didn't encourage Diluc to leave, some of his brother's old personality, his faith in the world could have been salvaged?

When was he able to get close to Diluc again? To realize that even after everything it's still his brother. Yes, he changed but beneath all that he's still the brother who loved him.

#kaeya brainrot #like yeah there's also Diluc's pov on this #return home to find your introvert brother turned into an extrovert and now you dont know how to talk to ppl let alone your brother to #apologize #and the best you can do is let him do what he wants in your tavern #invite him to eat at the house bc addie misses you #try to protect him from the shadows #because you're still relearning how to smile #god i love them #genshin impact #genshin #ragbros #diluc ragnvindr #kaeya alberich

THE LITTLEST ACTIONS

GN!Reader and Diluc ; Fluff x10 "Are these possible signs he's in love with me?"

These past few months your good friend Diluc has been acting a bit odd. Not in a angsty or rude way, more like signs that tend to get your heart beating in a odd fasten pattern. Hopeless romantic you decided to visit Lisa for a talk, hoping maybe she can explain the reasoning on why your friendship with Diluc seems to be moving up a couple of steps than you expected.

"Pft-" Lisa brought up a hand to her face, trying to conceal her laughter. "Wha- What are you laughing for!? I came here for you to help me, not to laugh at me!" You said, a bit embarrassed. Was there something you weren't seeing that others could clearly note?

"Why don't you repeat everything again, and maybe you'll finally notice." Lisa calmed down, taking a sip from her teacup as she looked at you. You mumbled something under your breath before taking a breath, preparing to explain once more.

𓂃 # IS THERE SOMETHING ON MY FACE?

Both you and Diluc decided to head out to eat for lunch together. You both sat outside Good Hunter, enjoying the meals peacefully. The silence was peaceful, though you couldn't help but look toward Diluc, who was staring at you with this look in his eyes. You tried to ignore it, though each time you took a bite out of your food you couldn't help but feel a bit flustered.

"Uh- Uhm, Diluc?" You asked, placing your fork down. You saw him flinched a bit, before he burst into a series of coughs. You didn't see him stopping any time soon and quickly rushed over to his side to help.

Sara stared from behind her counter, witnessing the whole scene unfold.

"BAHAHHAHAHA-" Lisa almost spat her tea out from laughing. "Hey! I didn't know what to do alright!" You covered your face with your hands, flustered. Lisa quickly took a napkin and cleaned herself, before clearing her throat. "I'll certainly have to visit Sara to hear more about what happened-" You glared at Lisa, quickly shutting her up. "Any who- Continue with the next one." Lisa said, waving her hand for you to continue.

𓂃 # YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOMED.

You walked over to Diluc's manor, trying to return something he had left at your place. You were meant to tell him yesterday that you were gonna stop by to drop off his coat, though he had rushed off to continue his duties before you could tell him.

The view of the manor came within view, and the smell of grapes filled your nose. A sense of nostalgia always filled you when you came over to visit. Though this time you couldn't help but wonder if Diluc was home.

'It would be nice to see him today...' You thought as you were now in front of the door. Before you could knock on the door, it quickly swung open.

"[Name?]" Diluc stared at you, his eyes widened a bit in surprise. "What brings you here?"

"Oh! Diluc! You scared me for a bit haha.." You put a hand over your heart, recovering from the shock you had felt. "Ah.. Sorry," Diluc looked over to what you had in your hands. "Oh, my coat. Have you came here to return it?" He asked. You nodded, handing him his coat.

"I was gonna tell you I still had your coat though you ran off before I can finish," You smiled softly. "Sorry about that. Something urgent came up-" Diluc scratched his cheek, returning your smile.

"Hm? Is that [name]?" A familiar voice came behind Diluc. Adelinde came into view, a smile present on her voice. "[Name]! It has been a while since I've seen you! How are you doing?" She cheerfully said. "I've been well Adelinde! Sorry that I haven't been able to visit lately. My work has been a mess these days." You chuckled, returning Adelinde's smile.

"It certainly is starting to get dark! Why don't you join Master Diluc for dinner?" She asked, continuing to have an innocent smile on her face. Diluc's eyes widened a bit once more, looking toward Adelinde.

You looked toward Diluc, seeing a hint of red in his ears, though it might just be his hair. "I would love to but I'm sure Diluc is busy-" "I wouldn't mind." Diluc interrupted your sentence before you could finish, clearing his throat. You began to heat up a bit.

"Well then! I'll start preparing the table!" Adelinde clapped her hands together before taking her leave.

You smiled, watching her take her leave. "You know- You're always welcomed here [name]." Diluc said, avoiding eye contact. You stepped through the doors, your face heating up.

"Hm~? I'm quite suspicious on how you had the Master Diluc's coat at your place." Lisa smirked, a mischievous look on her face. You had an annoyed expression on your face as you sipped your tea. "Are you gonna share or-?" Lisa poked at you, waiting for an answer. "Fine fine! Last one!"

𓂃 # THANK THE RAIN.

You ran through the rain, finding shelter under a small part under a roof. You groaned, realizing you had forgotten your umbrella at home. "Looks like I'll have to run through the rain or wait it out." You said, silently praying a better option pops up, and thank the gods who answered your prayer quickly.

"Forgotten your umbrella again?" A familiar voice popped up beside you. You quickly turned, seeing a familiar red blotch of hair. "Ahahaha, you know me." You chuckled, looking at Diluc. Some rustling sounds were made until Diluc started to place his coat on you.

"Eh? Don't you need this?" You questioned, trying to process his actions. "I'll be alright." Diluc looked away from you. You smiled softly, a warm feeling embracing your heart. "I should get going now then, thank you a lot Diluc." Before you left, you grabbed Diluc's arm softly, turning him towards you. Your lips came into contact to his cheek quickly, leaving a warm feeling.

You ran off toward the direction of your home, leaving a flustered Diluc behind.

He reached out before bringing his hand to the spot where you had left a quick kiss, a soft smile present on his face.

"Ohohoho~ I didn't take you as the confident one," Lisa giggled as you focused on your cup of tea. "How adorable you two are. I'm quite surprised how you manage to get Master Diluc melt within your presence, hehe." Lisa continued to mess with you, your face heating up after each comment.

A knock on the door saved you from Lisa's antics. A creaking noise was then heard as the door slowly opened. There stood a knight, with an envelope in his hand. "I have an important message for... [Name]?"

"That would be me," You smiled. The knight walked over and handed you the envelope quickly, before bowing and taking his leave.

"Oooo, what does it say?" Lisa stood up and walked over to you, looking over your shoulder.

Your name was written elegantly on the envelope. You took your time opening it, a sheet of paper slipping out. "Meet me at Starsnatch Cliff when the sun begins to set. I'll be patiently waiting for your arrival. -Diluc." The familiar hand writing had already hinted on who it was in the beginning.

"Looks like you should start running there~" Lisa giggled, pointing toward the window.

"Ack! Thank you for the help Lisa! I'll return it later!" You quickly gathered your stuff, rushing out the door.

"Ah, young romance,"

was wondering if you could do Diluc, Kaeya, Venti, and Aether (if you do him) w/ a male s/o that people call mother nature cause he is basically mother nature lolz (hcs)

ex. tending to plants, having a strong dendro vision, nature-themed clothes, flowers and leaves in hair, etc.

basically just one big scary motherly male reader lolz

srry if this doesn't make sense :3

-Tea Anon | If possible plssss

welcome Tea Anon :D this was such a cute ask （；´Д｀）*sobs*

(✿)genshin men with a nature reader(✿)

ft: Aether, Diluc, Kaeya, Venti x male! reader (separately)

cn: established relationships, dendro! reader, masc described reader(i don't think pronouns were used tho) , reader is on the softer side :D, kaeya n venti being drunk, and shorter hc on venti cause i don't know how to write him as well t-t, sweet fluff

a/n: omg my first ask for this fandom IM SO EXCITED AHHHH I also included a mini blurb after each headcanon :D

summary: little headcanons with the genshin men and their nature oriented boyfriend :D

word count: 1.1k

Aether

being with Aether is such a dream for any botanist alike; with him going to different nations on the daily its just the perfect opportunity for you to collect different plants for different regions

oh, do some plants not survive in the same environment as the other? no worries! Aether has already built different biomes and greenhouses in his teapot for you :D

regardless of being the renowned traveler, its not uncommon for him to return back to you with some sort of injury

it really helps that your vision allows you to create medicinal herbs and plants alike

it's quite a sight for people when they see the fearless traveler being scolded by his boyfriend

matching flower crowns!!! Aether allows you to play with his hair and weave in little flowers and leaves ( 0/)w(\0✿)

After a long day of doing commissions, Aether can finally take a break. That's what he thought 3 hours ago, before he accepted another job. Well, more like Paimon accepting the job for him... "Oh come on Traveler, we need the mora!" At least it was an easy task; All he had to do was collect a bouquet of different flowers.

Aether went around the entire of Mondstadt picking as many regional flowers as he could. Before long, he completely wiped the entire area clean. Unfortunatly, he still needed a few more to complete the bouquet. Just as he started to dig his wallet to buy flowers from Flora, a ring of said flowers started to appear around him.

"I heard from around that a certain Traveler was in need of some Windwheel Asters. To be honest, I was quite disappointed that you didn't come to me first."

Looking behind him, Aether turns to face you. Oh, he recognizes you. The infamous dendro user, Mother Nature, as most call you. He's seen you around before, but has never had the time to talk to you. Just as he starts to thank you for the help, you pick up one of the Asters, placing it delicately in his hair.

You wish you could take a picture of his face, as it was a red as the flowers themselves.

Diluc Ragnvindr

guys lets all take a moment and think about all the possibilities diluc and a dendro reader would have

(im gonna write a whole different series for this later lol)

we have mr. diluc, owner of the dawn winery, who needs grapes, with a dendro user, who's strength rivals that of the dendro archon herself

yea, it's great of business lol

diluc knows a bit about cultivating and caring for plants too, so if you ever gift him any plants or flowers they'll always be in top condition

also, if you give him any cut flowers i imagine he would dry them and use them as bookmarks (◕﹏◕✿)

there were times that diluc was to scared to come near you, just because he thinks he might burn the leaves in your hair or the plants you create

he probably got people to build you a little greenhouse outside of the dawn winery to keep all your plants

Just like the wind, word travels fast around Mondstadt. It isn't everyday that the townsfolk get to gossip about the uncrowned king of Mondstadt's love life.

Many rumors sprout about how the two of you met. Some say it might be because of your elemental abilities. Other stories consist of you having a similar social status as Diluc, being known throughout the city.

Whatever the case may be, it's safe to say that meeting you was one of the best moments in Diluc's life. He finds peace and solace in you, something that was taken away from him at a young age. While Diluc is used being the protector of Mondstadt, he can't help but feel his heart beat a little bit faster when you tend to him.

Kaeya Alberich

man all the nicknames he has for you AHHH

"My Rose" "My dear Calla Lily" "My Prince"

i feel like he would be a natural romantic, always bringing you flowers + gifts on dates

before he dated you, there was never a plant inside his home. he doesn't think he has a "green thumb". but if you give him plants/bring them over, he'll try his best to take care of them

whenever he's out on expeditions, he tries his best to always bring you along (unless the mission is to dangerous) since he knows you've always preferred the outdoor

he's quite the romantic, so he definitely knows a bit about flower language

so please please give him calla lilies (◕﹏◕✿) he falls a little deeper in love with you every time you give him some

(calla lily in flower language can mean beautiful AHHHH)

sometimes diluc will rely on you to make sure kaeya gets home safe after a round or two at angel share

It's late at night when you get a messenger bird, altering you of your boyfriends most recent drinking session. You enter Angel Share, to see the scene in front of you.

There at the bar is Rosaria, who's taking another swig of whatever's in her cup, Diluc, who's cleaning the bar, and Kaeya, who's slouched onto the counter. It takes one look from the Diluc to understand that it's time to drag Kaeya out of the bar.

The wind was strong this night, with the Calvary captain on your shoulder. "You really need to go easy on those drinks, Kaeya." Said man starts to giggle next to you, before turning to face you.

"...thank you, for caring for me, my prince"

Venti

is Venti a whole god and can handle himself? yes

does he still need monitoring with his alcohol intake?

yes

while he may be so shamelessly flirty, he really is so in love with you

besides the usual "windblume", he would also call you "dandelion"

his favorite spot to hang out with you would be the tree in windrise

he likes sitting on one of the branches while you tend to the tree and create foliage as you go

(has asked you to help in the making of grapes for wine lol)

Many have been thanking the anemo archon for the calm and cooling breeze that has been passing by all week. Some believe that something good must have happened to him, or that he's decided to bless the land of freedom for the fun of it.

Venti can't help but laugh while hearing all the prayers and thanks from the people of Mondstadt. Looking down at your lap, you're met with the most love-struck gaze and lopsided grin you've ever scene.

"What's gotten you in a good mood?" You ask while combing through his hair, removing the leaves and flowers that were previously braided in them. All you get back is a small "ehe", before Venti goes back to humming a small tune.

i rly hope this was written well a lot was written during 12-3 am lol

Idk why this whole diluc vs kaeya argument is even happening like it's so dumb because there is objectively a correct opinion to have in this debate. I literally like diluc, he's genuinely one of my favorite characters in the game, and honestly that's part of why it's so fucking annoying to me when people downplay the fight or act like he was justified in attacking his visionless younger brother with pretty clear killing intent because he very much was not justified and it's not treated that way by the game itself either AND. If you approach kaeya's character in good faith the whole situation is really heart wrenching and so is his reaction to the whole crepus delusion thing but obviously none of these people ever do that because they're dumb as fuck and only take whatever is said about kaeya at face value or read him as more malevolent and ~shady~ than he actually is even though that's literally not how he's written & then when it comes to diluc they will entirely make shit up about his character that is nowhere to be seen in his actual characterization to make him nicer and more meek than he actually is . I need to stop bitching about this recreationally because I'm getting so mad I'm getting dizzy but you get the gist. It's just all around very clear when people will afford a character the benefit of the doubt when they react like an insane person to strong emotions vs when they will interpret someone's reaction to grief in the most cruel possible way literally entirely because they either consciously or subconsciously consider kaeya's grief at the loss of their father "less real" on account of him being adopted even though one fact that genshin keeps hammering into our brains at literally every chance they get is that family bonds don't depend on blood ties alone.

#it makes me crazy because diluc literally cares about his brother and keeps looking out for him in some kind of ass backwards way #and kaeya clearly misses him. they literally both regret the whole ordeal except kaeya doesn't even actually have anything to feel guilty o #🗨️#whereas diluc does he's just fucking dumb as rocks. i keep remembering like #the first summer event. where he was like wow i didn't think you would remember how we collected shells as children #after kaeya mentioned that as a fond childhood memory #he doesn't realize how much kaeya misses him and how much their brotherhood and childhood together was real to him.#because he's a dumb cunt.#i want to beat him with sticks #also that's such typical older sibling behavior being like #wow i didn't think you would remember that since you were such a baby infant newborn fetus #<- is like a year older than kaeya and they were both like around 10 years old most likely

Happy Birthday to you...

Sagau!Diluc x Reader

what if reader and an acolyte shared a birthday?

10000% self indulgent. I've had the thought of sharing a birthday with an acolyte for a hot minute now due to the fact that Diluc and I share a birthday. And now that our birthday has finally come around I decided to write about it! Happy birthday Diluc and to anyone else out there that shares our birthday!!!!!

Warnings: Cult behaviors, fluffy, Diluc isn't exactly fond of reader but doesn't hate them either

The festival left a bitter taste in his mouth. It had ever since he was a kid. Sugary snacks and the creator's favorite cakes out on display did nothing to him, in fact it merely made him scrunch his nose in distaste.

It was the same thought every year, nobody cared to celebrate his birthday because of you. Because the all-creator was born this day. It should be an honor to be blessed with creation, to be so closely intertwined and favored by the creator to share a birthday with them. He was chosen is what everybody would tell him.

Except this day was never his special day. Not like he needed it anymore, birthdays stopped having meaning when he was quite young, however he still had bitter memories of it from when he was young.

His eyes caught onto kids blowing dandelions, making birthday wishes to the All-Creator. His maroon eyes held distaste, briskly walking back into his house. He was seen around the festival, he bought a little cake for himself, and now he could say he did the bare minimum. He could go home now without Kaeya and whoever else on his back about worshipping the creator.

Before he even realized it, he sat at his desk in Dawn Winery. With a quill in his dominant hand, he hesitated for a moment before beginning to write a letter to the traveler - your first vessel - as it had become customary.

The letter had derailed quickly, filling up the entire page in slightly messy handwriting. Honestly, the whole thing was unbecoming of him. Being so affected by this and then writing his feelings out in a letter. It all felt so... wrong. With a grim glare, he held the letter he had wrote, and it erupted into flames.

Midnight struck and in your cozy home, you smiled as your device showed the date April 30th. A message popped up at the top of your screen, and you immediately knew what it was.

You eagerly went to see the letter sent by Diluc but was shocked to see how long it was.

With furrowed brows and eagerness in your stomach, you started reading:

Dear Traveler,

Today is not only my birthday, but yours as well. I have no doubt it is a joyous day considering all you have done for Teyvat. However... today is also the day the All-Creator blessed the Earth. The day their human vessel took form for the first time. It's a common legend, perhaps you've heard of it?

Well, either way, festivals are held on this day. Grand and full of splendor and things the All-Creator adores. I've always been seen as blessed to share this day with them but... it doesn't feel like I'm sharing. Ever since I was a child they overshadowed my birthday, and then so much happened as a kid. It made me ponder, if there was truly a merciful god, why would they allow such things to happen? If there were such thing as a god, why would they not grace us with their presence? Why not celebrate their birthday with us? Why not allow me to have this day as well?

Perhaps my ramblings sound like that of a madman, and perhaps they are. I doubt you could understand my plight as the hero of Teyvat. I'm sure everyone celebrates your existence no matter the circumstances.

Perhaps if my father were still around he would celebrate with me. Perhaps if I had done things differently.

It's all in the past now. This day is no longer my joyous day, but even still, I hope you have a good day. May all your wishes come true. If you wish to celebrate with me, I'll be at Dawn WInery as usual. I can get you some sparkling grape juice and we can have a meal we'd both enjoy for our birthday. If you so wish though it's fine if you don't show up. I've sent along a special ticket for Dawn Winery. Just give it to anyone at the Winery and they'll give you the food and gift I've prepared. Even if you don't want it, I merely ask you make use of it. Give it away or hold onto it if you so wish.

May your birthday be one to remember until our next.

Sincerely, Diluc.

For a moment, you merely stared at the screen, your jaw slack from shock. What the hell was his man going on about?

Lore-wise, had Kaeya managed to get him drunk on his birthday? Was that Hoyoverse's explanation for the bullshit he was spewing. But even then, none of this had been explained before hand. Who was this All-Creator? Why was Diluc acting so odd in the letter?

What was happening?

You mulled the thoughts over in your head as you pulled up the character screen, staring at Diluc. Whether he was important to your or not was irrelevant at the moment, he was your birthday buddy and he had just sent you a very odd letter. Did Hoyoverse put in the effort to have exclusive letters for if you and another character shared a birthday? Surely not. They can barely give you some scraps of food for their birthdays, much less exclusive gifts and letters.

Then you remembered the gift Diluc had mentioned. You checked your backpack for it and, sure enough, there was a special ticket.

"Dawn Winery VIP Ticket." You muttered, "A gift from Diluc on his and yours birthday. Turn it in at Dawn Winery and maybe you'll get something special. Diluc mentioned a meal and a gift in his letter."

You hummed, your brows furrowed, staring intently at the screen. As though if you scrunched up your nose and stared suspiciously at the ticket for long enough it'd give you the answers you were looking for.

After a minute of this, you roughly sighed and shrugged, exiting out of the backpack and going to your party set up. It was Diluc's birthday, so you might as well go to Dawn Winery with him.

A chuckle bubbled up in the back of your throat at the thought of Hoyoverse actually implementing a birthday activity with one of the characters. Now that was wishful thinking. But still, you could pretend. Plus, at the very least, maybe the ticket could get you some cool item or recipe.

So, with Diluc as the leader of your party, you made your way to Dawn Winery.

He felt your presence within him, urging him to run run run to the winery. Jumping down cliffs with agility and speed he never knew a mortal such as him could posses until your hand graced him.

It's the same thing each and every acolyte experiences. But he was surprised to see you so eagerly posses his body and use him to sprint as fast as possible to the winery. Were you really that excited to see what he had prepared? He didn't think you'd even care. You had never cared all of his other birthdays, where he had to celebrate alone. Where you overshadowed any and all birthday wishes he could have ever received.

So why now were you so interested in his little gift? Was it selfishness? Curiosity? Surely such a noble and supreme god such as yourself couldn't care for such trivial mortal matters. That's why all of he others whom had sent letters with offers to spend their precious time with you never got anything. You'd never shown up, too busy with godly duties or whatever their excuse was to save face. It had become standard practice by now to offer it up and for you to not show up.

So why now? Why his birthday were you rushing to turn in the ticket, with him as well?

Self-centeredness perhaps? The fact that it was your birthday and perhaps that's why you're rushing to celebrate his birthday. Nothing else mattered unless it's centered around you. At least that's the conclusion he came to. It's the only one that made sense to him.

You made it to the Winery with a pep in your step. It was then that you realized that there wasn't a specific person you were told to hand it to.

You roughly sighed, realizing that it was indeed another null note that meant nothing.

"Curse you Hoyoverse." You frowned, comically shaking your fist.

You shrugged and headed in anyways. Might as well pay a visit it Elzer and the ugly ass model the poor man got cursed with, and also a teeny tiny part of you was just a tad hopeful.

You cringed back when you saw his model, remembering how the manga had depicted him and now... he just had an ugly npc model.

You clicked on the speak option and the screen went black.

"Hello there your grace!" Text popped up where it usually would, under the name of Elzer, "Is there something you'd like to give me perhaps...?" He trailed off as though he already knew why you had came here, and your inventory popped up.

For a minute, you sat there in stunned silence. Staring at the black screen, your backpack, and then the words. Your grace. He'd said.

For a moment, fear struck your heart. Then realization hit you, "Oh!" You laughed it off, "Right, Elzer calls Diluc his grace." You shook your head at how you'd freaked out. The black screen was probably another glitch.

Still, it was a bit odd that he was referring to Diluc in particular. What if you had been a different character? What if you didn't even have Diluc?

"Hoyoverse? Putting effort into their game? Aha-" You chuckled, shaking your head and clicking on the only lit up item in your inventory. The ticket from Diluc's letter.

"Ah! The ticket from the master!" Elzer said, "Thank you for this, I'm sure the master will be delighted. Please, come this way, your grace."

Something was off... was Elzer... speaking directly to you? He was mentioning Diluc so that meant he wasn't talking to him... why was he calling you your grace?

Your head spun, the loading screen popped up and your body went slack. The only thing you could hear was the Dawn Winery music and then slowly... the smell of alcohol.

#the first thing reader does when they get to teyvat is put diluc's hair in a high ponytail #sagau #genshin self aware #genshin cult au #genshin impact sagau #self aware genshin #genshin sagau #diluc #diluc x reader #happy birthday diluc!!!!!!!!!!!!#surprisingly i did not lose the 50/50 to him #i lost it to keking....#well either way im still waiting for jean to come home #i have klee AND albedo miss ma'am pls come home the kids miss you :(#lowkey tempted to make a part two to this though... just a tad...#okay i want to make a part two just so i can include diluc singing happy birthday to the reader woopsies

Venti’s Attachment Issues

(This is gonna be a long one; get yourself comfortable.)

Since Stanley is used as a direct parallel to Venti in his story quest, every time we chat with Stanley, we can maybe get an insight to Venti’s feelings.

Stanley, constantly, misses the real Stanley. He’s always drinking, and he might be doing better since Venti put the real Stanley to rest, but the grief stays.

He wishes the real Stanley was still here.

Pretending to be someone else is exhausting and damaging to your ‘true self’—there’s no doubt in my mind about that.

Stanley’s wish likely reflects Venti’s wish, considering how deeply affected Venti is still by the loss of his friend at the end of his story quest (he can’t even speak it out loud; he just stays at the top of the statue lost in memories and grief.)

Now let’s take into consideration that Venti is a god and an Archon currently, and only a (likely) naive wisp when he met the Nameless Bard.

He lives much longer than a human.

His responsibility will always be their safety.

(Arguably) He is forced into slumber for… healing? (Or is this a sign of depression?)

He doesn’t believe in ruling over his people, so he is one of the weakest Archons (his reasoning).

He will never be on the same level as one of his people, no matter how “ingrained” in society he is. (In other words, if he revealed his true nature, there’s always going to be a sense of “This is Mondstadt’s god” with every mortal he reveals it to.)

Venti, or Barbatos, was the Archon to bring The Seven together to meet.

Zhongli doesn’t visit Mondstadt (that I know of).

Barbatos is the only known Archon to regularly travel.

Five of the Seven original Archons are dead.

The ‘new’ Archons know of each other, but it’s mostly from a ruling basis (they likely do not have those regular meetings anymore)

From this, we can conclude that Barbatos cannot have a personal relationship like he once did with another mortal, and when he tried to find something like that with The Seven, they, too, suffered a sort of “mortal fate,” the supposed immortals all died one by one.

And Zhongli and Venti might hold a deep understanding towards each other, have some sort of close relationship, but we definitely don’t see a personal one—at least in person—anymore. I don’t think the current Seven even meet up.

Now let’s consider the Traveler’s presence.

The Traveler is suspected to be hundreds, if not thousands, of years old.

The Traveler is not from this world.

The Traveler has abilities that even Venti is amazed by (ability to remove corruption by just the presence of one of them?? This should really be expanded on considering they’ve killed gods for this.)

Venti isn’t unfriendly, but he compliments the Traveler endlessly (really, every character does this to some extent, but it still has to be in character to some level); says we’re the “gentlest soul” in the most recent event.

Venti says his greatest wish is to travel (aka “see the world on my behalf” 👀) and now he adjusts the wish to include the Traveler.

The Traveler might be the only one to truly know about Venti’s doppelgänger situation.

Thus, Venti tells us personal secrets. He acts like an open book (Kusanali’s* (?) intervention proves that he would have told us more about the Archipelgo situation had we asked) even though we get a different feeling in the manga with him (he’s more secretive; see Celestia panel). He “brushes off” the truth in that sense, but I can’t remember if he’s ever directly lied to us.

Our happiness is important to him (again, these lines are hard to distinguish from the people from the game using Venti to communicate this, or this is meant to be part of Venti’s personality—I mean, look at what they did with Xiao’s b-day letters… or anyone’s.)

Where am I going with this?

Venti isn’t as close to anyone as he is with the Traveler in modern day Mondstadt because he knows he can’t be as close to anyone else.

The people of Mondstadt that he loves so much seem to be the ones he keeps a distance from.

He’s watched Razor grow up (a curious statement), he’s friendly to Razor, but he’s not close like Bennett is (tbf, no one is—except Lisa???—but it seems like they act more like friendly acquaintances than friends.)

Barbara sees him as a talented bard (kinda like a coworker/colleague in the music industry.)

Rosaria thinks Venti is mysterious but likely harmless, so she doesn’t bother with him, and the god she cares nothing about (which could speak to a non-idolized look at him if he revealed it to her, but I think their relationship is best explored with others, meaning I don’t see them able to connect as well on an individual level—also, Rosaria could not care about the god because she doesn’t believe in him, so her reaction is still uncertain if she actually met him)

Jean knows who he is, but she can’t seem to figure out whether to be formal or familiar with her Archon.

We don’t know what Lisa thinks of Venti, but Venti speaks respectfully of her, so even if Lisa teased him like she does every other character, it makes him no different but also no closer to her. He’s more likely the eager “student” that she suspects there’s more to the eye of (if not the god himself), but she won’t push him to reveal it to her and maintain a respectful but distant relationship with.

Interestingly, Kaeya might be able to match wits with Venti in the way they both withhold the truth without directly lying. Yet, I don’t think either of them are 100% sure on how they feel about each other, so while it might be thrilling to talk to each other, it isn’t friendly.

Diluc is probably the closest to Venti out of the Mondstadt people (not considering Alice atm) just by favor of working the tavern on nights Venti drinks. Which is a lot and often. He treats Venti the bard informally, and this allows each other to be comfortable in teasing.

As a bartender, Diluc should be seeing Venti at his worst.

When you’re drinking alone at the bar, it isn’t necessarily a good sign (nor always bad). When you’re drinking as often and as much as Venti, it really isn’t a good sign.

But I don’t think that quite fits Venti because of the reason he drinks.

Venti likely sees himself at his “best” when he’s drinking; he’s jolly, he’s social, and he’s ready to have a good time.

When he’s sober, he’s still social, jolly, etc, but he’s quieter. Calm. He listens a LOT. (Am I the only one that watches cutscenes with Venti and thinks, “Huh, I thought Venti would say something about that” or “by now,” and he just doesn’t?? Idk maybe an iffy observation)

He thinks too much.

Venti’s quick wit, his ability to change the subject to something familiar, comfortable, and his reputation as the best bard in Mondstadt are what he relies on, and he can do all that drunk while not having to deal with his memories and all that comes with that.

So where do the attachment issues come in?

I think Venti’s lonely. And I think the proof is in Venti’s lines to the Traveler.

He can’t be close to his Mondstadt people in a real way. They all will die long before him. They will always hold a mortal concept of what Venti is to them. They will always remind Venti of what he’s already lost and will lose again one day.

But the Traveler “isn’t meant for this world.”

The Traveler is someone new, someone that can cure corruption, and someone that also wants (needs) to travel the world.

Venti’s flowery language towards us just shows how he’s grown attached to the lone traveler that continues to visit his land. That also understands loss and constantly surprises him. That helps the people he loves so very much.

So, while a lot of Venti’s lines could be attributed to fan service and are reflected in other characters, too, I think you can explain different reasons as to why the characters speak the way they do towards the Traveler. And I think this is Venti’s reason.

Aka I took fan service seriously and used it to explain Venti’s emotional issues
