the wanderer and his little brother apart is a sight nome of the seven nations have ever witnessed. wherever one is, the other is trailing behind either with excitement, worry, concern or grumpiness trailing their figures. the wanderer loves his little brother more then anything and everything in this shithole and that has never changed, nor will it ever change.
upon the creation of kunikuzishi, raiden ei (or ‘mother’) had encountered an ‘issue’ that might be solved if he had something instinctual to protect. kunikuzushi was a gentle soul, and while he loved his mother more then life as he knew it, if he was so weak that he could not hold the gnosis then what was all this for?
and so, the creation of the second kunikuzushi was in production.
“(y/n)” she had named you. you loved your name, you loved your mother who gave you your name and most of all, you loved your big brother kunikuzushi. he was your everything, and for awhile raiden ei’s plan had seemed to have succeeded.
kunikuzushi was getting stronger, he was overcoming his sensitivity and his ability to cry at every given scenario. she thought she had finally done it.
until she realised, it was all a massive lie.
she had caught you coddling your teary eyes big brother near the shine, cradling his head against your little chest and combing his hair in hopes his tears would cease. you could sense your mothers presence and you knew if she found out that he was still as vulnerable as the day of your creation, it would have major concequences.
the gods weren’t in your favour, to put it lightly.
wandering the ever so lonely woods of inazuma, you and your brother faced two more instances in which would eventually trigger his switch.
the first? a simple blacksmith that had taken you both in. he was another good soul, cheerful beyond belief and a truly comforting person to be around.
he taught your brother the craft of weaponry. he taught your brother it is okay to be vulnerable at times and for awhile, you truly believed that you had found someone who cared about you enough to love you and your brother for who you truly were.
that dream died alongside his once genuine love for you both, riddled with fear of the both of you.
kunikuzushi’s tears echoed through your ears that night, it was so loud you couldn’t even hear the rain that was ever so loudly crashing against the two of you. his body was small and shrunken, and you didn’t know how you could help. your little mind may be synthetic, but it does not mean that you comprehend things as an adult would.
you only hoped holding your big brother against you and hiding your own tears would comfort him enough to stop crying.
you couldn’t stand his tears, they broke your little heart.
the last was a young boy, only a few years younger then your current mortal state.
raiden ei claimed that to keep kunikuzushi’s guard, she would have your body ever so slightly age, until you would stop abruptly by the time your form would hit 14. this would match up with kunikuzushi as his body would go from the form of an 18-22 year old physique.
this boy was once more, a very loving being. he was full of love and wonder about the world, seeing everything as an opportunity and a blessing.
your little head couldn’t comprehend his views until it was far too late for blessings or miracles.
there, lying lifeless and devoid of emotion, going everything against you knew of the boy he lay.
CLICK
you attempted to grasp your big brothers hand, but you did not see a boy who once more needed comfort, all you could see was pure loathing.
you didn’t see your big brother in that moment. you saw a stranger in the skin of kunikuzushi. his tears were not in need of wiping, in fact no tears were to be wiped at all.
you lost your brother that day, and it would be a long while before you would see him once more.
in a sense, you lost yourself that day as well, you no longer felt that out in your stomach that lingered endlessly. only a cold numbness filled the gaping hole in which a heart should lay wishing your chest.
by the time you had reached the fatui, the both of you were completely different people.
scaramouche was cold and sharped tongued, and as for yourself? you were reserved and shrunken. you had both completed the aging process that ei had implemented for the two of you, and it was as clear as day.
you had gotten ever so slightly taller, your hair a little longer and your frown weighed heavy on your lips.
your big brother was still as short as ever, but his face was no longer chubby and round. he was sharp and cold, a glare that never disappeared unless i’m the presence of one person.
you.
you hated the fatui. you hated how they treated you and your brother. unlike the humans, they didn’t even bother to pretend to care for either of your well-being’s. you were scared of most, not daring to make any form of contact with any of them. there was only one harbinger that ever spoke to you of his own volition.
tartaglia.
an annoying redhead who treated you as if you were his own kin. that alone had scaramouche seething in his seat. who was this filthy mortal and how DARE he treat HIS little brother as his own? this had the balladeer absolutely livid and so for the sake of your dear brother, you did your very best to escape the mortals clutches.
as his time in the fatui progressed, you soon found yourself truly taking on the roll as his little brother. you seemed to be the one who was there for him, never much the other way around.
of course that’s not to say he wasn’t there, it was just normally him who needed you more then you needing him. you were the one with him against your chest, not the other way around, and honestly you never cared too much. he’s you brother, why shouldn’t you be there for him?
you didn’t realise just how sad that fact had made your big brother until it had genuinely switched.
scaramouche, as you now seemed to have to adresse him as, not once even entertained the idea of you becoming a full blown fatui member. you simply sat in his office and kept him company throughout his everyday chores and when he went in missions? you rested in his quarters until he came back.
the fatui knew of your immortality and the fact you were not human, and henceforth never bothered to check in on you, not that you cared much.
the doctor struck fear in you that you couldn’t quite comprehend and columbina was almost too cheery to be trusted. the knave seemed interested in you, however you soon came to understand she ran an orphanage and decided she was only looking for a potential member of the hearth. the rest of them never much interacted with you and you therefore have no good or bad opinion on them, all you knew is that you could only trust yourself and your big brother in this hellhole.
you had lost count on how many days it had been since you escaped the clutches of the fatui, but you couldn’t care less. you were with your big brother and he had you, and that’s all you needed in life.
scaramouche thought different.
he wanted to laugh in the faces of the mortals and god who wronged his brother and himself, to mortify the deities and to have the humans begging at his feet. he wanted absolute power, and he had finally obtained the key item to acquire this dream of his.
had anyone asked you if you feared your brother kunikuzushi, you would have laughed in their face. if someone asked you if you feared your brother scaramouche, even just slightly, you could not give an answer.
you were yet to meet this ‘damned blonde runt’ that your brother so very much despised, however you could only hope in a time like this, she might just be able to save your big brother. he claims she is nothing but a pathetic little worm that he could easily discard by the time he reaches divinity, however you had heard of the deeds she had performed for the other nations of teyvat, and you had a feeling she was going to do the same thing for sumeru.
your feelings were correct.
your big brother was falling, and there wasn’t anything you could do about it. he told you to not interfere by the time lumine came, to stay hidden in order to protect you from exposure. to protect himself from people who would use his little brother to exploit him.
too bad you love him a bit too much to allow him to fall like this. he had just quite literally lost his heart right after gaining it, and the pure horror within his vocal cords as he begged the archon of dendro to spare his heart was heavy on your little ears. you couldn’t take it any longer.
“KUNIKUZUSHI NO” you pleaded, you begged the girls to help your brother, however they just watched as he fell lifelessly. so, as you’ve always done and will continue to do, you ran to him.
he only mumbled a ‘get away from me’ and a ‘what if they see you?’ before he finally fell into unconsciousness, and that was the last straw.
all you felt in your body was a frozen and bitter hatred. you felt disappointed. wasn’t this supposed to be the ever caring saviour of teyvat? the girl who makes friends with the snap of her fingers and fights to protect ALL??
all you saw was a fake, a fraud.
ice shot out from the bottom of your heels, icing the entirety of the floors around the workshop. you were screaming.
the room was slowly icing itself around you as you held your unconscious brother in your arms. the panic was visible in the travellers companions voice, freaking out that they’re trapped in the room and that the ice is closing in, however you could only feel your imaginary heart beating harshly within your chest, pounding on your synthetic rib cage and begging to be released from the clutches of ice growing within it.
the only thing you heard before your body collapsed was a gentle tune, a tune of true harmony.
you awoke to the soft breathing of your brother next to you, seemingly in a blissful rest. instinctively, you raised your body and clutched him tightly, startling him awake. you took in your surroundings before letting him go, him reluctantly sitting up and grasping your shoulder, slouching on you.
in came the little nahida, with a tray of tea and some traditional sumerian snacks on the side.
“you’re finally awake you two! i’ve been waiting for the both of you for ages!” her little singalong voice chimed, puffy cheeks graced with a warm smile. you and kunikuzushi share a glace at eachother, almost in a “what the fuck are we doing here?” kinda look. the young archon took note of your confusion and decided to explain.
“we rescued the both of you from the doctors clutches and have been nursing you back to health! after (y/n) had gained his cryo vision, another vision slowly descended and rested on the chest of the balladeer. the anemo vision seemed to swirl a warm breeze around the both of you as the ice spread as the room started to freeze in on itself. thankfully, i was able to get everyone out uninjured, however we had unfortunately encountered the 2nd fatui harbinger, also known as the doctor. he claimed the fatui had ownership over the both of you and wanted both you and the gnosis, however i bargained that as long as he shut down all his twins, as well as giving us the both of you, he could have both of the gnosis’ i possessed!”
nahida seemed almost too cheery, however you refused to comment on it. all you did was squeeze your bothers free hand as he held you protectively, his guard instinctively high in the presence of a god. smiling softly to yourself for the first time in forever, you rested on the shoulder of your big brother.
you were finally in safe hands.
sumeru’s most notable duo, the young wanderer and (y/n) explore around the lands together, hand in hand. one in his early 20s and the other in his teenage years. though they never seem to age, sumeru does not question it. the elder with a sharp tongue and the younger apologising profusely for his big brothers harsh words. the elder studying in the akedemiya under the request of the lesser lord, and the younger encouraging him to do his best.
the elder keeping his guard up so the younger can finally enjoy his everlasting youth, after giving it up for so many years for the sake of himself. hand in hand, kunikuzushi knew you two would finally be able to rest.
just the two of you, until the end of time. <3

lyney x assistant!reader hcs
note; can be read as gn reader, but "my lady" is used so be warned! no angst this time.. for now. this MIGHT end up foreshadowing a future post ;)
reblogs appreciated!!
Tumblr media
★ lyney has a MAJOR crush on you, his assistant, and everyone knows it. like, he won’t try to hide it or anything.
“why should i try to hide my love? i’m not embarrassed, my lady.”
★ he gives me major chat noir vibes tbh. THE WAY HE SO OBVIOUSLY FLIRTS WITH YOU UGHSHD he’s NOT shy when it comes to you.
★ you try not to let his antics get in the way of your performance, but the chemistry you two have is the reason anyone goes to your shows these days. especially since charlotte hypes up the romance in her articles.
★ furina even attends your shows LMAO the relationship you and lyney have makes everything interesting and cute. everyone gets giddy tehe
★ takes a flower out from his sleeve at the start of the show if you're his assistant for the night and gifts it to you. he claims it is for good luck, but lynette rolls her eyes since she knows he's just using it as an excuse.
★ during the performance, he finds ways to be cheeky with you. he’ll wink at you and gently grab your hand and hold your waist as he walks you towards the prop. he smirks as he does so too, making you flustered.
“everyone in the audience! please tell my dear assistant there's NO need to be so nervous. we’ve known each other for a long time, i won’t bite! just trust me~”
★ when the show is over and it's time to bow, he will grab your hand and kiss it before the curtains have the chance to close.
★ the audience cheers loudly and chant “ENCORE!” because of how charming the magician is with you.
★ charlotte WILL end up writing about the whole thing in the steambird for the 10000th time. “DATING OR JUST AN ACT?”
★ YOU don’t even know if it's all an act to get more engagement, or if he really does like you. after all, he has never outright confessed behind the scenes. better to be safe than sorry…

diluc once jokingly challenged jean to an older sibling-off after adelaide commented on how jean was so responsible for her baby sister, so jean was like 'bet' and they roped a reluctant kaeya and barbara into increasingly ridiculous shenanigans.
it went from 'who can read the best story' (winner unclear, barbara kept trying to eat kaeya's eyepatch) to 'best chef' (jean won, diluc got impatient and used his pyro vision to cook... and burnt everything) to 'who can glide down barbatos' statue safely while carrying your little sibling in your arms' (crepus may or may not have fainted that day.)
flash forward to post ragbros reconciliation, and word somehow gets to klee about the sibling-off (it was venti. he thought things were a little too peaceful in mondstadt) so she cajoles jean and kaeya AND albedo into a rematch, same rules apply.
traveller sneaks in with their twin, and kaeya, as both a younger and older sibling (side-eyes bennett and klee) gets the dubious honour of being both a judge and a contender.
mondstadt is cursed blessed with the sight of multitudes of people launching themselves off the barbatos statue. there's the chief alchemist serenely carrying mondstadt's resident red chaos child in his arms, the deaconess of the church hiding her face in the arms of the acting grandmaster, the honorary knight and the former ruler of the abyss order whooping in delight, and unholy screaming from the cavalry captain, the adventurer guild's son and the esteemed master of the dawn winery as they almost plummet to the ground

I have a lot of really small headcanons about the concept of “elemental resonance” I keep incorporating into my genshin fics whenever I write them bc I love using the concept that the characters can pick up on other people who wield elemental power’s energy, and the fact elements can react or resonate with each other as a really small way to give insight into how a character feels about things or people around them
I enjoy imagining and using that as almost like another kind of “body language” or mode of communication. I like using it to give characters more defined presences and personalities especially with how they’re viewed through an external POV
Things of this nature I’ve kind of thought about/written before include:
Wanderer will describe the unusually strong elemental power radiating off of Archon characters he’s around as “unpleasant” and tell the reader he doesn’t like being around gods because they all radiate this oppressive and uncomfortable energy that makes him feel very defensive…but he noticeably doesn’t seem to mind Nahida’s elemental energy despite being very aware of it and describes it in a much more pleasant way because He Likes Her
In contrast a lot of people find Wanderer’s Anemo “jarringly sharp like storm gales” or just really odd/confusing and potential sinister(????) but then Nahida just describes it as like, gentle and very nice even if it’s a bit wild sometimes :) (this would confuse everyone if she told them this)
Lynette and Freminet can tell when Lyney gets upset/anxious, especially over them, because his Vision that gives him elemental power came from his ambition to protect his loved ones, and they would describe him being worried as like, a flickering and more fast paced sort of Pyro energy radiating from him that feels very directed towards them specifically
Venti tends to passively reach out and “resonate” with a lot of elements around him, especially with people he likes or shares his element with, as sort of a way of going hello! I see you! Jean and Xiao describe his Anemo energy as very like, reassuring/comforting/makes them feel more centered (he usually does this when they seem stressed out), while a lot of the Mondstadt characters don’t recognize it’s coming from him and just feel more relaxed/comfortable/“at home” (or nostalgic for Mondstadt if they aren’t there at the moment)
Kaeya describes a lot of the pyro characters he’s friends with (Klee, Amber, etc) as very warm and nostalgic—he doesn’t say it directly but the implication is it reminds him of Diluc when they were younger. In present day he describes Diluc’s energy as “subdued heat” towards everyone else but “smolderingly cold for a fire” when Diluc’s attention is on him because their relationship is in great condition ❤️
Characters tend to find being able to resonate with the energy of people they’re close with very comforting (it’s like a hug or leaning on someone for support basically). They usually note it’s especially reassuring if it’s done with someone of the same element. They usually do this pretty deliberately but u can also have characters sort of reaching out to their loved ones more quietly if they don’t like being very emotionally open (lol)
^^ so Tighnari usually reaches out with his Dendro passively for Collei to “lean on” if he can tell she isn’t doing well and wants to like, very intuitively reassure her. Kaveh and Al Haitham both pretend they never do this but they are regularly both “checking in on each other” whenever they’re in proximity as sort of a like “are you there? Oh hi you’re here. Okay nice”
I could go on about this for a while with like every character but I find it so fun. I really love subtle characterization or adding more personalized descriptions to characters beyond just like purely physical appearance jducjfjd

“Two unruly teens give father heart attack after being spotted on a roof” that one old Mondstadt article I really wish mihoyo will give us one day.
I’m pretty sure both siblings ended up with something sprained/broken after a failed attempt to climb the vines (probably Kaeya). Crepus fainted the first time he found out where his kids have been hiding from him. Then he remembered he did the same at their age. So he gave up and instead made them promise the wouldn’t try to climb the walls wasted (which they did in the exact same evening)
Elzer broke his leg trying to get a hold on Diluc. Honestly the only one who could get them once they got there was Adelinde.
Kaeya started calling Diluc an owl since that time he caught his brother stargazing in their spot and Diluc absolutely adored the idea.
Also a long time ago they used to wear matching colors. Diluc in blue and Kaeya in red.
How much longer do I have to wait until they become happy siblings again. Pls have pity on me

The things Kaeya does to appease Diluc—
A headcanon that Kaeya always goes to Angel's Share because it's the closest thing he's got to home. He practically grew up accompanying Crepus to the tavern where they'd learn about all sorts of drinks; the old but sturdy tables and chairs were like a playground for young Diluc and Kaeya, their names still scratched on the wood of the bar top.
Now, he also visits to see Diluc. Kaeya always pays per drink, never leaving anything on his tab no matter how drunk he gets. He'd even leave a hefty tip once in a while. Perhaps subconsciously. . . it's Kaeya's way of bribing Diluc to– (to what? to stay? to accept him once again as a brother?) Kaeya's a little afraid to rack up a debt.
That's why Kaeya is the picture image of the perfect costumer. Always pays, leaves a tip, and doesn't make a mess of their table.
Maybe then, Diluc would hate him a little less.

These are just hc
I know some of these are unlikely to be true but I chose to live in a delulu state, pls don’t disrupt it.

The twins and Freiment were never supposed to join Fauti, Arcchelinno was put in charge bc they thought she wouldn’t get attached, but she did the kid’s pulled at her heart and she couldn’t bring herself to get rid of them.
Many say Freiment is the forgotten sibling but:
1.) Lyney and Lynette are twins they obviously will be closer.
2.) Freiment prefers being on his own
With that out of the way, Freiment is the baby of the family, Lyney and Lynette are very protective of him.
Arcchelinno had a habit of pinching the kid’s cheeks, Lyney picked up on this and does it to his siblings.
(Columbia is their mom, trust)
Columbia would often sing to the kids, when their stressed or overwhelmed she still does.
Their job to get Furina’s gnosis became real personal after she took the twins to court
This goes with the 1st
As Freiment said “Father hates when children cry,” Arcchelinno is called father bc stereotypicaly it’s always a mothers love for her kids in her case she could be using them hence the name father. Bc again they never thought she would be on to get attached. But she did and the name stuck bc kids don’t understand that part at their age. She can’t stand when kids cry, she can’t stand when her kids cry but for very different reasons.

to me wriothesley is legally blind AND colorblind. he can see but his vision is very low, which is why he feels for the cup in the trailer etc. he’s p much canonically colorblind tho and i think that can and should co-exist with the hcs of him being visually impaired/blind because people can absolutely be both

life in fontaine was quite different to what you had expected, however you surmised that it was due to the fact that you spent most of your days around… interesting… characters.
on one hand, you had some clingy little magician hanging off your arm and treating you as if he was your big brother wherever you went, which only reminded you of a certain redhead back in the day.
on another hand, you had a classy lady who wore a gorgous gold dress and was possibly one of the most glammed up people you’ve ever seen, who insists on dragging you around with her, taking you to all sorts of little shops and cafés. when questioned why she does this, she only smiles, saying how you seemed lonely and needed a friendly face that wasn’t bursting you eardrums with enthusiasm constantly.
having an absent female role throughout your childhood, you slowly began to cling to navia. from the moment you requested the both of you go on a little snack date, she was your official big sister!
with all these eccentric people in your life with seemingly no limit on their social battery, you find yourself overly exhausted almost every evening.
this all changed when a humble and shy diver boy swam into your story.
after about a month of living within the walls of fontaine, you soon come to realise you never formally introduced yourself to lyney’s younger brother, who was absent the first time you ever met the twins.
from what you could recall, freminet was a reserved yet somewhat stoic character. from what lynette had separately told you, he was easily flustered and a bit difficult to talk to. for awhile, you just accepted the fact you might not ever even meet the boy as you had never ACTUALLY seen him out and about.
until the day you decided you’d explore the waters.
like many people in fontaine, you too were curious and mesmerised about the beauty of the sea. the shimmering blue waves blended into the prismatic pinks of the seabed. an assortment of colours could be seen from the top of the ocean and you just had to know what lay beneath the surface.
so, like every normal people would do, you grabbed some overglamified water-gear (NOT diving gear), and hopped straight into the ocean. you were a fairly strong swimmer so you had no issues going under, you weren’t planning on diving deep into water ravines and ocean monuments after all.
looking at all the ocean had to offer you, your eyes glimmered in an almsot spellbound way. the ocean was hypnotic, an almsot angelic tune could be deciphered as you swam further.
going down a little, you see something almost glowing? just beneath the sand. as you go to pick it up, you then realise it wasn’t an object, but a flower. you then recalled what lyney had told you about certain flowers of fontaine.
a little giddy, you go to pick one for yourself before someone else appears in your vision. a boy wearing a diving helmet moves directly upwards from where you were, also in shock in the fact that somebody else was present.
the flower was sitting off the edge of a ravine, and so a body coming flying from the depths of it was quite a sight to behold.
the two of you stare at eachother, before you begin your ascend to the surface, needing to get some air.
you notice the figure swimming up next to you, and decide it’s worth it to learn who this mysterious diver truly is. divers aren’t uncommon in fontaine for obvious reasons, so when you make it on land you didn’t expect the one to take off the helmet to be the youngest brother of the magicians.
“hello, my name is freminet”. he speaks, almost robotically. still a bit startled, you go to speak.
“nice to meet you freminet, my name is (y/n), it’s a pleasure to meet you”.
silence.
“so, um.. do you like the ocean?” the boy asks, a small blush coating his pale cheeks.
“that was the first time i’ve ever touched the waters of fontaine”. you reply rather formally, going back into rich boy mode.
“oh! cool..” he plays with his fingers.
more silence.
you two suck at talking.
from that moment forward (after the very awkward first meeting), freminet was attached to your hip. he followed you around everywhere, and his company didn’t seem to bother you whatsoever. you were one of the first people, who wasn’t one of his siblings, to tolerate his inability to hold a decent conversation, and freminet cherished that part of you,
on the other hand, you liked how freminet didn’t make you feel as though you needed to talk with him constantly to keep the newly formed friendship in tow. the two of you could sit on a bench for hours, barley conversate, however the atmosphere never differed from comfortable.
in a way, you were each others peace.
“hello again (y/n)! are you here to once more whisk my little brother away on a little date?” lyney asks, winking as he spoke. it wasn’t rare you came to collect the boy if you had something to do, and vise versa if freminet wanted some company while he worked.
you only rolled your eyes at the blonde, flicking his forehead (to which he winced slightly) before making yourself at home. by this point your migration to fontaine was close to hitting the 4 month mark, and in that time the trio of the hearth became almost family to you.
that also means waltzing into each others homes unannounced.
i’m not joking by the way, once you came home to lynette stuffing her face with a cake you bought earlier that day with lyney knocked out on your lounge. and you know what you did? ate the rest of the cake with lynette (you twos secret till this day) and markered all over lyneys face before taking a nap yourselves.
anyways, you made yourself at home before asking lynette where freminet was. she smiled to herself knowingly before directing you to the boys bedroom.
as you entered, a truly charming scene before you unfolded itself.
freminet was fast asleep on his bed, pers sitting on his nightstand. freminet had a book cuddled into his chest, his little snores filled the room.
smiling to yourself, you go to collect the book from his grasp, worried the edges might hurt him in his sleep, before something truly taken out of a romance novel happened.
instead, freminet grabbed your sleeve and yanked you down towards him. you always knew he was a clingy sleeper, having shared a DOUBLE BED with him beforehand, however freminet had a SINGLE BED.
in schock, you look at his peaceful face that was still dead asleep, before giggling to yourself.
you successfully take the book from his grasp and put it on the floor. then you look up to the ceiling. the artwork of sea creatures and hanging bubbles from his roof was truly a mesmerising sight, his entire bedroom being themed off the ocean. everything about him drawer you in more and more.
you failed to realise that the ‘more and more’ was now directly next to you, clinging onto your chest. for the 100th time this day, you heart skipped a beat as the diver cuddled himself next to you.
‘fuck it’ you say to yourself, grabbing him gently by the waist and adjusting him so he was on your chest sideways, with you flat on your back with one arm around him.
‘you know, i think i could get used to this’. you think to yourself once more.
you didn’t know at the time, but the tune you assumed to be in your head was actually outside freminet bedroom window, being strung gently by a lyre. the figure of the person could not be seen to those passing by, but if you looked close enough..
you’d notice a jade green bard smiling to himself, an instrument of pure melodies resting upon his fingertips.

Now that everyone is also in awe of that twitter thread about Childe being Smart I want to rebutt half of it.
Personally, I think he's perfectly average/a bit smarter than average, or rather good at some things and bad at others.
He's a quick thinker, proven by his character stories (people are indeed not assigned into vanguard just for dumb strength) and by how he used Traveler to check whether the forged sigil worked and sow some discord in the process (obviously his own plan and a good one at that. and he came up with it in a matter of minutes). Being able to lie through omission is no easy feat either.
He's quite poetic and it's usually a sign of intelligent person. (modern AU untraumatized Childe would 100% be a literature major, don't @ me. he'd also like Manowar)
However, he is also young, had no proper mentor and no formal education. Also brash and too self-confident at times. You *need* to be comfortable with doubting youself to be smart, it's thinking 101.
*
For starters, not suspecting Zhongli to be Rex Lapis was... an accomplishment in and by itself. The city breathes of this story. There are at least three books on the topic, it's told in every tea house, the traveler learns it through a single conversation with a trader in port. A golden-eyed person with excellent taste is always Rex Lapis or at least should be suspected to be him.
Childe somehow missed it, while being able to analyze intricacies of Qixing politics. This is bizarre and means that either he's extremely narrowinded (he doesn't show signs of that, quite the opposite), or that he was simply repeating someone else's ideas. His subordinates obviously bring him news and reports. So… how do we know his ability for political analysis is his and not someone else's?
He does look like the type who would repeat another person's good idea as his own (I'm imagining that's exactly how Zhongli tricked him into that whole sigil of permission thing).
Having said that, being able to listen to information brought by your subordinates is a rare and precious trait, I wish some of my bosses were more like that, haha.
(alternative option: that is in fact his own skill and one of the few skills where he did get actual mentorship. Pulcinella drilled attention to politics into his brain because otherwise things always got too messy when Childe got involved
it would also mean that nothing can drill attention to cultural stuff into Childe's brain because fuck it we ball)
*
Being able to copy sigils well enough? First, it's the job for the r&d team (can we have some appreciation for the Fatui r&d team, please)? Second, I'm not sure anyone truly copied those. Maybe Zhongli just enchanted every single one.
I they were actually succesfully copied, we have a problem of fatui being able to mass-print them and I don't want to think of the consequences. I hope Zhongli didn't let that happen.
*
Manipulating Traveler to do what he wanted in the Liyue arc? It's not like the Traveler had a lot of options or any personal loyalty to the Qixing. Did anyone really trust him to be our friend? What other choice did we have though but to follow his lead.
That's 10/10 for opportunistic thinking but it's not really a showcase of his manipulation skills (I'll keep thinking his social skills are abysmal until proven otherwise).
*
Being able to tell you just came from the blacksmith? Please, it's not him being observant, he just had you followed.
*
So, yeah... he's smart but he's also, what, 19? 20? (I hc him on the younger side because it helps me overlook his bad traits). It's amazing he got this far and he'll become smart one day but that day hasn't happened yet.
In other words he is far from dumb but the fatui do treat him as dumb muscle because what do you expect.

Hello~
Can you write some sibling headcanons for Ayato and Ayaka? Just something casual
Thank you~
~ ☆
The main times Ayaka and Ayato see each other is in their morning practice times and late at night when Ayaka is saying goodnight
It really can't be helped, with both of them so busy taking care of the Kamisato Clan, they barely have time to visit their sibling
But they care in their own ways, mostly through Thoma
Ayato generally sends Thoma with Ayaka whenever she goes out because Thoma is someone he trust full heartedly
Ayaka often uses Thoma to fix her brother's bad habits, asking him to bring a snack for her brother every once in a while
While they don't spend much time together, they certainly do care a lot for each other
A/N I'll be honest, I kinda ran out of steam toward the end

Kaveh and Navia Half-Siblings Headcanon
I'm still half way through Act 2 of the Fonatine Quests but I wanted to give this headcanon some thought, so this will include some spoilers but if it falls through then oops. I'll blame it on not having the quest done and such.
So, what we know about Kaveh's family is his mother moved to Fontaine after the death of Kaveh's father, came back to Sumeru to tell Kaveh about the job offer she accepted, and hasn't really been heard from again. We also know that Kaveh's dad died when Kaveh was still young, and while it was probably a couple years after the incident, Kaveh seemed to have become an Akademiya student soon after.
Navia's family situation is that Navia was mostly raised by her father because her mother had issues during the pregnancy and didn't make it. Furthermore, Navia has been trying to solve the case of the disappearing girls because that was the case her father lost his life in.
Both have mothers that aren't accountable and fathers that are confirmed dead (Navia's mother is also confirmed dead but I'll get into that).
From how I see it, Kaveh is still significantly older than Navia, no matter what time he enters the Akademiya, but parts of canon point to young. Since Navia was targeted by the Sinthe people to be one of the missing girls, that— to me— makes her sound like she's in her twenties. Meanwhile I can see Kaveh well into his thirties, or at the very least at the age of thirty.
With this gap in them being born, I don't think it would be to far of a stretch to assume that if Kaveh and Navia had the same mother, then neither of them would know. Kaveh lost contact and Navia didn't get to meet her.
I don't have much proof, but then again this is a headcanon and not a theory, so all of the previous evidence is more framework.
Narratively, I see Kaveh encouraging his dad to enter the Interdarshan Championship around the age range of 7-10, and joined as an Akademiya student around 15-17. During Kaveh's time at the Akadmiya, his mother moved to Fontaine where she was sight seeing and trying to heal, and got caught up as a target for the Sinthe dealer people. She managed to escape being a victim because she wasn't from Fontaine— like how Paimon saved Navia by drinking the Primordial Sea Water for her— and went looking for help by the Sinthe's greatest enemy, the Spina di Rosula.
There, she met Callas and the two started working as partners. Kaveh's mother also gave herself a fake alias, Clementine, to have an easier way of helping the investigation as well as hopefully keeping them from looking into her past, finding her son, and kidnapping him all the way from Sumeru in order to get revenge on her. After all, while the Sinthe cartel seems to be a Fontaine centric organization, the characters in the quest don't know what they're capable of, so I wouldn't put it past her to fear that they'd go looking for Kaveh. It also explains why Kaveh's mother left for Fontaine, came back to tell Kaveh about a "job opportunity," and disappear back to Fontaine again.
With Kaveh fully removed from the equation and her trying not to think about her previous, now dead, husband, she starts falling for Callas— who reciprocates her feelings. They fall in love over the course of their joint investigation, but all the stresses are wearing her down. The guilt over getting a new husband after not completely mourning the first one, the horrible possibility that Kaveh could still be involved in this somehow, and the many other girls that have been victims of a crime she— by no fault of her own— survived puts heavy stress on her body, and by the time she's pregnant with Navia she's in no shape to actually carry to term.
But just like Callas hiding his illness from Navia, her mother hid her condition from Callas, gave birth to Navia, and died.
From there, everything plays out the same. Kaveh graduates the Akademiya with no sense of a home, builds the Palace of Alcazarzaray, falls into debt, and ends up living with Alhaitham. Navia grows up under the care of her father and as they clash head Callas investigates the Missing Girls case, gets to far in than he expected to be, and ends up having to die in a duel with Clorinde while also threatening then cartel with information to completely protect Navia should she chose to live a normal life. Neither has any idea of their half sibling and it will possibly remain that way forever.

In which Diluc falls asleep instantly when you do anything with his hair
This man can miss 3 days of sleep and still be able to perfectly pretend he’s fully functional. So when he gets past Adelinde limit of dealing with the bs his self care is, she calls the big guns.
So at least once a month Kaeya receives the most interesting and quite amusing letter with a request from the Dawn Winery butler (who’s on it as well).
Diluc will put some resistance but he’d be too tired to even fight his brother as he climbs on the chair he’s been glued to for god knows how many hours. He’d even forget his animosity and refer to him as brother or by his nickname. When Kaeya starts to softly brush his hair while only chuckling at the empty threats, the red hair already get drowsy. When a heavy coat falls on his shoulders, he’s half asleep and by the time the cavalry captain starts brushing his hair his breath slows and evens out.
They’ve been doing this since they were kids and even thought Diluc is the one deep asleep it does some good to Kaeya too. It one of those rare times where they both forget the past that pushed the apart and back to that of when they were just kids, brothers that would do everything together wether it was fighting, laughing or braiding hair (although Diluc sucks at it). So it’s no surprise Kaeya also feel quite refreshed after leaving the winery hours later. After he’s done with the hair he’d just hang around knowing that his brothers survival instinct would shot up and probably wake him up if he doesn’t stay and stand guard. Still he’s gone by the time Diluc wakes up, the fur coat replaced by a warm blanket with a similar weight to it.
Neither of them talk about it, no one gets a thank you or an call me anytime.
Adelinde an Elzer are banging their heads against the wall. Firstly because just how can two grown ass man be so adorable and yet hopeless at the same time. They don’t know the whole story but they sure as hell know that these two are siblings for life, so why do they keep doing this game of pretend? Would it kill them to just call each other brothers and admit the could use the support? Adelinde is sewing that get along shirt for siblings and she’ll surely force these two into it one day. Elzer plans to fake kidnap the two and throw them in a room (with a therapist or two) that he’d open only after the two talk things out (we wish him luck).
