#🔸 ZHONGLI » headcanon

[hwaddist]

the people want more so:

More Zhonglette / Neuvili headcanons.

•i think their emoji combo should be 🔸🌊

•neuvillette is taller than zhongli in human form, they are the same heigh in dragon form. on the same note, neuvi is older than zhongli as he is The Hydro Dragon. Power wise I think they’re both evenly matched

•they knew of each other’s existence but didn’t actually meet until zhongli visited Fontaine and furina made a scene. neuvillette personally went and apologized for her behalf

•neuvi makes better financial decisions and manages the mora in the household, zhongli truly doesnt care and neuvi teases him about it

•they dont live together, however, zhongli is the one that visits neuvi due to neuvillette being busy almost 24/7, but they can survive without seeing each other every day (except during mating season when neuvi gets a little bit clingy hehe)

•zhongli often asks neuvi why did he decided to become chief justice and neuvi has the same answer every time

“I just want to serve my people.”

zhongli understands, but still encourages his lover to take breaks

•zhongli is quick to pick up neuvillette’s humor in relation to the weather. how it’s sunny when he’s in a certainly good mood, how it rains when he’s sad/upset. he is quick to make sure his love is adored and taken care of during particularly bad storms.

•they’re not big into pda, barely able to stand next to the other. behind close doors, however, they share kisses and hold hands while neuvillette works and zhongli reads

•the melusines took time to warm up to zhongli, as some of them thought he wasn’t good enough for their papa.

NSFW (nothing explicit but still lol)

•if im being so real right now i dont see them as a very sexually active couple, however there is like one or twice a year during mating season but they’ll just fuck it out and thats it

If it's not too much, can i request maybe some of your fav genshin men (and maybe some ladies too if that's not too much trouble but I totally understand if it isn't your thing!!) handling dating a reader who's been abused in previous relationships? I recently came out of one and your writing on ao3 has been a huge comfort (ur Xiao x readers especially both are really good and heartbreaking but also comforting)

Oh friend I hope you're doing alright, feel free to shoot me a PM if ever you want someone to talk to, I might not totally understand what you've been through but I'm always happy to lend an ear! that being said, of course I can write some headcanons about the genshins!

Diluc, Rosaria, Zhongli, Childe, Xiao, Thoma, Ayaka x Reder

Past mentions of abuse, hurt/comfort, fluff, angst

Diluc

🔥 He doesn't ask, he can already see the pain hidden behind a carefully sculpted visage.

🔥 He keeps touches light, gentle, loose, sometimes you would wiggle from his hold without explaination, other times you would slowly, but surely relax, it depended on the day, and that was fine.

🔥 Naturally, his first response when you do tell him about your previous relationship is to ask if you wanted the problem taken care of, just how taken care of? well, that was up to you.

🔥 but it sure did explain why you always hesitated ever so slightly before leaning into any touch, and that was that really had the fury burning in Diluc's veins.

🔥 if you tell him that no, you'd rather just not think about your ex ever again, he respects that.

🔥 That doesn't mean the darknight hero does though. Needless to say, irrelevant of your answer, your ex always seems to run into horrible trouble whenever they step foot into Mondstadt.

🔥 After which, he goes home, and hunkers down beside you, content to just exist in your presence, or to cuddle and press soft kisses into your hair, either is good.

Rosaria

🍷 As was commonplace with her, she's far more hands-off when it comes to you. That didn't mean she didn't do her own share of digging to discover exactly why you clammed up whenever someone swung an arm a little too close or raised their voice just a bit too loud.

🍷 Despite being a woman of solitude, Rosaria didn't mind your presence at all, a nice change of drinking buddy to Kaeya, who was a whole lot of bluster when he was tipsy, you managed to keep your head a bit better, and you talk alot less.

🍷 and perhaps, when no one else is watching, she finds herself prone to a nice lean, or a gentle twining of fingers, nothing too major at first.

🍷 Soon enough, there's talk that you have a rather interesting and dangerous little shadow following you through the streets, particularly after dark. It's not like you didn't know who it was, and you always happened to leave a nice glass of red wine on the windowsill until Rosaria finally decides to indulge with you.

Zhongli

🔸 He, admittedly, doesn't pick up on your hesitation right away, not because he's that dense, it's simply just because he's too traditional when it comes to courting.

🔸 ie: flowers and small tokens, friendly walks along the harbour, sharing a pot of tea, things like that, where there's little physical contact involved.

🔸 It's only after a particularly hard day at work for you, when you meet up with him and he can immediately sense the unease exhuming off you, when he opts to take you to a quieter tea-house where you finally break and explain you'd actually seen your ex that day, and why you were so afraid.

🔸 On the outside? he's as unflappable as always, offering sincere words of support and reassurance that he would keep you safe.

🔸 Inside? The fierce dragon god from the archon wars, the one who hurled spears of stone into the ocean to smite those who opposed him, rears it's vengeful head.

🔸 He asks if you would like to stay at his place that night, noticing that despite everything, you still were not quite as calm as you had tried to insist you were. Overjoyed when you actually do say yes.

🔸 A small part of him goes into 'domestic overdrive' in an attempt to placate your fears, soothing candles, a lovely, home cooked meal, anything and everything he can do to put you at ease, and he find's himself a little more thrilled than He'd like to admit when you lean in for a quick kiss.

🔸 Needless to say, He can't help but keep a closer eye on you after that, not overbearingly so but he doesn't like the idea of you having to deal with your abuser alone, and if they were to ever come into contact with the funeral consultant...well, the wrath of the rock would be them getting off lightly.

Childe

🐋 This idiot. He doesn't really realise just how bad your previous relationship had been until he half tackles you after a long, hard day of work, wanting nothing more than to sweep up his little flame and spoil you, being taken awfully aback when you flinch so hard that you drop to your knees.

🐋 Mistake number 2? interrogating you about your ex. what had he done, what did he look like? He doesn't even realise he's doing it until you burst into tears, the red, blinding fury dying instantly as you shrink back from him.

🐋 no, no absolutely not. Childe may be a battle hungry harbinger, but he knows when he's fucked up, and he's just fucked up real bad, bad enough that if his siblings knew, he'd get the cold shoulder from all of them, and a good scolding from his parents to boot.

🐋 His gears switch as quickly as they always do, he'd already fucked up by suddenly jumping you, so a hug was likely out of the question. Instead he does what he does whenever one of his little siblings would cry; he gently takes your hands, and he apologises for scaring you, he didn't mean to, he was just worried, angry that someone had hurt you this way, he spends damn near half an hour talking you back to calmness before he even attempts to hold you.

🐋 However, his apology and his admission that he was angry that someone had hurt you, reward him with a very faint squeeze when he presses his lips to the top of your head.

🐋 He would later, after you've calmed, absolutely spoil you rotten, because that's all he really knows how to do when it comes to someone he cares about, fancy dinner, cute clothes, the whole nine yards.

🐋 Maybe later, when you're asleep, something 'bad' might happen to your ex, either way, he ensures you never hear from him again.

Xiao

👹 He can tell, the moment he decides you're even somewhat worthy of his attention, he sees the way you hold yourself, the way you shrink at a raised tone, even if it's not directed at you, the way you grip at the hem of your shirt, find any excuse to slink away.

👹 He knows these signs well, because once upon a time, that was him. He's still bound by Karmic debt, but you? you didn't deserve to live this fear every day.

👹 He's...not great at approching you about it, in fact, he uses his ability to slink into dreams to discover the source of your fears, it's sneaky and underhanded, an invasion of privacy, but he has a face, he has a name.

👹 He will never tell you the kinds of horrible dreams he tormented your abuser with, he was contractually obligated to never bring harm to a human, but spook them out of Liyue? now that he could do, without so much as leaving his room at the Inn no less.

👹 However, he does keep a closer eye on you, and it doesn't go unnoticed by any of the regular staff at the inn. Verr in particular always seems to smile fondly whenever sees you now, and Smiley always seems to send up a second order of almond tofu, just in case.

👹 He's taken aback when you apologise for bothering him so much, you knew he wasn't particularly fond of people, but you felt a little safer with him around.

👹 He can only grunt, crossing his arms, it was fine, he said, he didn't mind you, you weren't too chatty and didn't try to make him leave the inn, your presence was more than acceptable. the closest thing to him ever being able to outwardly say that he enjoyed having you around that the yaksha could manage for a very long time. It was just a good thing you were rather perceptive, for a mortal.

Thoma

🍡 two words: Golden retriever. Thoma is never anything but sweet and kind to you, he doesn't ask or prod about your past, he knows bad things happened, and when you'd tried to force yourself to tell him, he took your hands in his, pressed a kiss to each knuckle and told you that you didn't need to, the fact you were even willing to say anything on the matter was all he needed to know.

🍡 Thoma isn't a man of violence, but he is a man of action, any particular day he sees that tense bunch in your shoulders; perhaps the guards had been a bit too rowdy again, or things were just a bit too loud, he immediately sets about brewing your favorite tea and making your favorite snacks, little things that would brighten your day.

🍡 And on the days where everything is too much? well, he always offers his hand first, as much as he'd love to engulf you in a hug, the hesitation was still there, and he'd never be able to live with himself if he scared you. So he waits until you want to cuddle, he'll absolutely put everything else on the back burner to tend to you, or, he'll bring you along with him, sometimes the fresh air and getting away from the usual haunts for a bit can help too.

🍡 Thoma isn't a vengful man by any means, but if he happens to spy your abuser in passing, he makes a note of it, he makes several notes over several encounters, before using his little web of contacts to discreetly make their life hell.

Ayaka

🍵 Much like her dear friend, Thoma, Ayaka doesn't push to know exactly what's happened, but she's a little more...over protective. Offering private rooms, any and all sorts of services to make you feel at ease.

🍵 Though, she's not upset when you timidly tell her that perhaps it's all a bit too much, you still had a life to live and you didn't want to have to rely on the younger kamisato for everything.

🍵 Ayaka isn't much known for leaving the estate herself, especially when Ayato is out, which is unfortunately most of the time. but when she does have a free day, you're the first person she comes to for companionship.

🍵 Walks in the forest, or a trip up to the shrine (it's got such a lovely view!) the very rare trip into inazuma city, although, you both find yourselves a little overwhelmed by the crowds there sometimes, the eyes on ayaka and her seemingly average companion.

🍵 So it's no real surprise when she offers her hand, something you happily take, Ayaka was a skilled fighter, but a gentle soul at heart, you knew she'd never hurt you.

🍵 she does however, marvel at your skin, apparently your skin was so very soft with minimal effort, something she was rather in awe of. Holding hands soon became pedestrian, for she so loved to brush her fingers along your cheek, cup your face in her hands with that gentle smile that told you everything would be ok...

@sir-huffman asked.🍦

✦ — SEND🍦TO LEARN ONE WAY TO COMPLETELY MELT MY MUSE

SING ...( it's the thought what it counts )

Zhongli knows from experience that singing is a flawless form of bonding. Peaceful, pure, fun and beautiful. Like the goddess he learned from.

Guizhong.

A soothing, rhythmic hum should do the trick. Zhongli ( himself ) isn't known for going any further than that either and, no matter what, he's fond of mosts, if not all shapes of music anyways.

To have it aimed at him, through whatever of its forms, does tend to hit a rather weak spot.

[solidifaith]

@theshytigergirl asked.🍦

✦ — SEND🍦TO LEARN ONE WAY TO COMPLETELY MELT MY MUSE

ASK HIM ABOUT XIAO.

It goes unnoticed the first few times ( the more formal are the questions, the easier it is for Zhongli to mask it ). But, eventually, one should be able to grasp the fondness that Zhongli can't help speaking with when it comes to Xiao.

—his eyes are warmer. his tone is softer, some assume it's because to make it up for the harshness the yaksha is known for. his concern is evident, when and if trusting another individual the task to deliver Xiao's unique medicine on his behalf.

❝ (chuckles)... Yes... The young adeptus holds a special place in my thoughts. It happens the same to the rest of Liyue population, I trust.

» And if that's not the case, well..., it should be. ❞

Although he's not open to share why —or where does this ( deep ) affection come from, one should see the spark on his eyes when offered the chance to talk about his son.

Xiao's memory deserves to be preserved and he knows he won't be able to hold it forever. He's afraid erosion will take it away. Thus, finding someone who he can share them with, really, does melt his worries away.

🔥 + mark

✦ — send me  🔥 + a word and I will write a NSFW headcanon for my muse

the mark mentioned [ here ] is, more or less, permanent, bearing a life span slightly longer than that of an ordinary lover at least. as capable of disappearing as of reappearing, easily rekindled by something as simple as it is the contact with Zhongli's bare hands ( more specifically, the exposed geo energy flowing through them ).

naturally, this means Zhongli has to be quite selective with who he will mark this way. because it will be there for a while.
