#I do hc kaeya to be taller than diluc but the way it happened diluc is bending down a bit to receive the hug

[mmmairon]

I fear my hands may always be stained red

[dootdootwriting]

hii can you do where like the genshin impact boys lovers are like taller than them?

featuring: albedo, alhaitham, ayato, baizhu, cyno, diluc, gorou, itto, kazuha, kaeya, kaveh, tighnari, venti, xiao, zhongli, (separate) tw: light foul language (scattered throughout), mention of violence/fighting (childe), mention of chronic pain/illness (baizhu), haitham is autistic because yeah. type: fluff, sfw, hcs reader: tall, gn, no pronouns, no use of y/n a/n: i was GOING to do literally all of them but i gave up after tighnari sorry i just did NOT have it in me. if you want hcs of this same scenario with different characters, do feel free to request that!

also not using canon heights for this bc they don't . make sense to me so you get mY HEADCANONS. (close to canon at least i promise)

ALBEDO

not hard to be taller than him tbh, he's like 5'4

i can't see him particularly caring about height in an s/o, rather just personality. if he likes you, he likes you and that's really it, you could look like just about anything

you could be three feet tall and he wouldn't care as long as you were understanding about the unholy hours of the night he has to stay up to in order to do his work

he won't deny the fact that dating someone tall has its advantages, though.

for one example, he finds it particularly difficult when an ingredient he's trying to get to is too far up for him to reach

and yes, he could just summon his geo flower and have it elevator his ass up the tree or whatever, but it's so much more convenient AND so much more comfortable to just have you pick him up so he can get higher

also, it's insanely hot

probably would be into it

DILUC

he's probably just a bit taller than average, i'd place him at about 6' or so

so it's not rare that he meets someone taller than him, it just doesn't happen every day

has no qualms about your height other than he finds it slightly annoying to look up at you when you're having a conversation

it's hard to be intimidating when the person you're talking to is looking down at you with an adoring smile, as you can understand.

other than that, if need be, he has the winery mansion adjusted to suit you

just some basic things like carving a bit out of a doorframe if you're prone to bumping your head on things. nothing too drastic

KAEYA

thinks it's hot

he's kind of a slut for people taller than him, i think. or just a slut in general maybe. either way, thinks it's hot

he's probably just a bit shorter than diluc, maybe at 5'11. diluc won't let him hear the end of it and it pisses him off

looks are the first thing he sees in a person. it isn't nearly the end-all be-all of choosing a partner for him (he really looks for someone with more mental acuity and wit), but it does play the part

being tall helps you with this

is the type to DEFINITELY be able to reach the top shelf and pretend he can't anyway so he can grin at you while you get things for him

asshole

VENTI

did someone say short-ass twink?

he's like 5'3 sorry i don't make the rules. short.

so yeah, again, not hard to be taller than him.

he's so playful about it too

"oh nooooo~ they put the apples all the way on the top shelf so i can't reach them~ whatever shall i do!"

bitch, you can fly. be fr

it doesn't matter. if there's something you can do (even if he can also do it) for him because of his height, he'll bat his eyelashes and flash you a grin so you can't help but show off and do it for him

also makes sharing the bed a hell of a lot more difficult. venti already flails around all over the place, and having someone taller sleeping next to him...? forget about it. you're both waking up on the floor.

BAIZHU

tall

probably like 6'1, and lanky too

there is no cabinet he can't reach, and besides he has changsheng to slither up in the rare situation that he actually can't reach something

however, the tables are turned on him completely when he's having a flare-up. a lot of the time, if he tries to exert himself reaching for something (or just getting out of bed at all), he'll dissolve into a fit of coughing and have to sit down

this is when having a tall partner really comes in handy, and you're more than happy to get him whatever he needs to help him calm it down

extremely grateful for your help, and lucky that he has you. anytime you get him something, especially when he's not feeling well, he'll thank you and give you a kiss

XIAO

joining the "it's not hard to be taller than him" club at a whopping (not really) FIVE FOOT TWO

bro is SHORT short

this doesn't bother him as much as you think it might. in xiao's own words, "height has little effect on one's ability to fight," and therefore he can protect you and fight for you even despite how small he is

will pretend not to be thankful if you help him with reaching things, but instead sends you a short glance that only you can decipher as being grateful

going out with him is a little bit like walking with a small but on edge dog

ZHONGLI

taller than REX LAPIS?? REX FUCKING LAPIS??? THE LORD OF GEO???

i think in his human form he's about 6'3, but he gets to like 6'8 with his draconic features out. no, i'm not counting his horns, i think he actually grows when he relaxes and stops hiding his features

is impressed that you're taller than him, and, honestly, a little worried about your back

with this tall of a couple, he definitely has to adjust his living situation. for sure has his ceilings raised and doorways sanded so the both of you can fit

walking around liyue harbor with him is a SIGHT. two giant sized folks casually going out for a stroll along the waterfront, enjoying their date as if they aren't big enough for a seagull to accidentally fly into their faces

also likes having you do things for him. he's tall, he can do them himself, but he's lying if he says he doesn't like watching you reach to screw in a lightbulb or the like.

AYATO

he's probably around 5'11, so he's tall but it's not unusual for someone to be taller than him per se

he's kind of a cheeky lil bastard? he puts everything on ridiculously high shelves on purpose so that he can watch you get them for him

"oh, sorry to trouble you my dear, but it seems the brown sugar is just a few inches out of my reach. could i trouble you to grab it for me?"

"there are like eighteen other different shelves you could have put it on."

"are there? i hadn't noticed! oh, well :)"

also likes to show you off. pulls up to the function (important dignitary meeting) with his tall ass partner

GOROU

little guy! he's probably around 5'4-5'5 so if you're even like average height you're probably a little taller than him

embarrassed about it, almost as much as he is about the whole tail cuddling thing

that isn't to say he doesn't love how gorgeous and tall you are (he does for sure!), he just is a little self-conscious about his own height

he WILL hide behind you if he sees yae miko approach. benefit #1 of having a tall partner: meat shield

also bonus for you: he is a dog, so when he wants you to grab something for him, he'll look up at you with the most adorable puppy eyes you've ever seen

ITTO

good lord you must be insanely tall . i think he's probably around 6'3

the first time he meets you he's blown away. bewildered. incredibly flustered. possibly already in love.

he's used to being the tallest guy around, used to being the big guy in charge. so when he finds you, and has to look up at someone else for a change, he's stupefied (in a good way)

there are no shelves he can ask you to get things from that he can't already reach. instead, he likes to watch you just pick people up

he'll gather some arataki gang members and ask them to stand in a line and have you go back to back with each one just to measure how tall you are compared to other people

he WILL give bear hugs. if you're more lanky, they may break a few bones... so, beware of that

KAZUHA

another almost short-stack, probably around 5'6

he hasn't ever really thought about his height, he isn't insecure about it or anything.

to him, your height is just another thing that he loves about you! he doesn't care much for physical appearance, it's what's inside that counts to him

and once he gets to know you, he finds everything about you stunning!

probably writes poems about how you look standing strong in the wind or something. really he'll write poems about you no matter what.

since you're taller than him, he enjoys being the little spoon. let him recite lines to you while you hold him!

ALHAITHAM

tall ass guy. prolly around 6'1

is surprised that you're taller than him, but other than that doesn't really care all that much

while he does care for physical traits such as height, he mostly values intelligence and wit, so as long as you can keep up with him in a conversation, you're good enough to date

he has parameters, you understand. you have to fit to a certain standard in a series of specific categories, including age, wit, compatibility....

he might be a little autistic.

my point is, height doesn't really factor in there

still enjoys being the big spoon, even if there's more of you or if you don't quite slot together ideally in that position

it doesn't matter if you're 8 feet tall, this guy Will hold you

CYNO

putting him in around 5'5

despite his small stature, he's a force to be reckoned with. everyone around him knows it, even if he sometimes wishes they didn't care as much

has absolutely no trouble asking you to get things for him if he can't reach them. unbothered king.

this comes less from a place of him not caring about being short and more of a place of him knowing his limitations and understanding when he needs help!

doesn't really care about being shorter than you. well... unless you tease him about being short, then he gets a little miffed. he doesn't mind being the shorter one as long as he isn't just called short

doesn't mind being the little spoon if you suggest it

KAVEH

i wanna say he's about average height, 5'8-5'9 ish!

he's comfortable with his height. he doesn't really think about it very often

that being said, i do think he would be very into someone who's taller than him. i just get those vibes

PLEASE please lean in a doorway and look at him or something. he thinks it's so attractive

probably will ask you to reach up and get things for him just so he can like... poke you in the side??? for no reason?? while you do it

likes to show you off but is also shy about it. will hold your hand when you walk around in public but also really doesn't want anyone to notice. there are two wolves inside of him.

TIGHNARI

I AM A 5'6 TIGHNARI TRUTHER. idk. he gives 5'6 vibes and i don't know why!!!

honestly couldn't give two shits about his height. As long as he can get to the samples he's trying to study, he doesn't care!

Thinks every part of you is stunning, so to him your height is a part of that!

Looks come second to personality to him. This isn't to say he doesn't find you attractive, just that the second he actually starts to like someone all of a sudden oh, they're really pretty actually.

lowkey wants to do like, a family gene chart of you? He wants to learn everything about you, down to where all your different traits come from!

To be honest, I just wanted to ramble some more and let my brainworms take over. This is sorta late but Happy Valentine’s everyone! I was gonna post this earlier but this honestly took me a long time to write so I moved it to today. 

Once again, this is 90% crack 10% content. Seriously, as much as I love writing this non-serious fics. Why do you people like this?

Diluc

What? Diluc has a roommate? Did you blackmail him in living with you? Is that even possible? Did you throw yourself in front of his car because you needed someone to pay for your student loans and the easiest way was to file a lawsuit? In this economy no one would blame you. Diluc seems like such the self-isolated character that would murder his roommate in cold blood but in reality, he act’s detached from the world because he forgot how to socialize and he’s desperately trying to cover it up without choking. That or he’s trying to learn how to astral project. If he could drink away the pain he would but instead he buys 20 packs of grape Kool-Aid and injects it into his veins. 

Does not and will not ever have a normal sleeping schedule. You’ll wake up to him working, come back home to him working, and will sleep to him still working. His daily dose of Vitamin D is from the brightness of his screen rather than the sun and he’s filter feeding at this point. It’s concerning. He’s going to crumble and he’s bringing the world down with him. Through the power of tax evasion. But as soon as he needs to walk out into society, he pulls movie magic and looks like perfection. It’s both physically and mentally disgusting. 

He’s actually is a really nice roommate to have just so long as you give him space. Great cook and knows to clean up after himself. Though he does have crash and burn days where’s he’s completely out of commission. You could set the entire apartment on fire and he would sleep through it. The entire two weeks are dedicated to zombie eye marathons and then he’ll suddenly collapse and sleep for 46 hours straight. When he wakes up from his hibernation he’s the most groggy and nonsensical person. His life blood is coffee because you keep hiding the 5 hour energy away from him because, you know, life is enjoyable and those cancer bottles will actually kill him.  

“University sucks our money out of our bodies faster than our will to live.” 

Beidou [Happy Birthday Queen 💕]

Despite her appearance, she’s actually really strong and it scares the piss out of you when you’re doing something or scrolling through your phone mindlessly and you suddenly get your spine re-arranged when she slaps you on the back to ask what you’re doing. Likewise, when she hoists you up and throws you over her shoulder so you come with her on her 3am convivence store raids for alcohol. It’s either you change now or else we’re walking out of the apartment in your t-shirt and no pants self. She can and will carry you under her arm that way. It’s both incredibly attractive and horrifying at the same time. 

She’s really friendly and a great talker if you’re alright with her “I must hold you in my arms, fresh prince of bel air style”. It doesn’t matter if you’re taller than her, she’s doing it. She does however, get in a bit of trouble from her rowdiness and you often get noise complaints but Beidou just passes them off to Ningguang and everything is fixed. She has ovaries of steel when neighbors rather confront her personally and she’s ready to 1v1 in the parking lot. You’re trying to desperately hold onto her shirt to stop her from pile driving your neighbors for the third time this week but she’s too strong.  

She’s constant party until we die attitude and suffers the hangover in the morning. It’s actually really funny to catch her in her hangover moods because whatever filter Beidou had, which is none, is gone. She really takes “cursing like a sailor” or the next level and the amount of creativity she comes up with is actually impressive. She can be a bit messy but she’s really likeable and always down to go anywhere with you as long as you’ll do the same. It’s a very ride together, we die together situation. You’re my best friend, you’re dying with me. I’ll see you in hell. 

“Imma T pose over my dad and then crash the car into the parking garage.” 

Kaeya

Kaeya on the surface seems like such a chill roommate. And he is for the most part. But he’s such an ass. Your things are his things, no questions asked. If you just bought a really nice sweater or you had leftover food, that’s his now. He’s innocent until proven guilty even if he’s literally holding your lunch. The pure amount of bullshit he can spit out to convince you that no, he did not pull the fire alarm because he wanted an excuse for not going to work, puts him on Shakespeare level. He’s also very pretty, way too pretty, sir can you share some of your genes? 

But aside from that, he’s actually super dependable. You forgot something at home? Sure, he has nothing better to do so he can bring them for you. We’re missing eggs? No problem, he’s just by the store. You’re 95% sure that he just wants to be cheeky and make you thank him for 20 minutes before he actually hands you what you asked for. It’s better for you if you never tell him anything you’re afraid of because Kaeya has no social cues, or more like he throws them out the window, and he’s probably a psychopath. 

He’s incredibly private of his room and things despite his attitude towards yours. You’re convinced he either has a secret lab or that’s where he’s storing the bodies. I was the good guy but due to unfortunate circumstances, I need to stab a bitch. But he’s a really good serious talker for those 3am, because everything happens at 3am, talks about life and the meaning of the universe. It absolutely wrecks your sleep schedule but some of the things you talk about are the most crackhead things like what’s the lowest amount of money someone would have to pay you to walk outside without clothes? It’s a legitimate question. 

“Never before have I been so offended with something I 100% agree with.”

Jean

Okay, what world did you save in a past life to live with his absolutely wonderful woman? Mother Teresa take a load off, take a seat. You have nothing to worry about. She’ll bring home little treats back home and it’s the most wholesome thing ever?? Is this what love and affection feels like? We’ve been starved for so long. She says it’s not a big deal and anyone would do it BUT THE MOMENT SOMEONE BUYS FOOD FOR YOU. IT’S A MAGICAL MOMENT. They are forever stuck in your will until proven otherwise. An absolute ray of sunshine that must be protected. 

She does get super busy so you don’t often see each other or get to hang out as much. She’s a bit of a workaholic but a lot more easier to talk her into taking a break. She’s also a pretty decent cook but she prefers baking and jesus christ, girl can you calm down? Be still my beating heart, I’ve been smitten. Has mother hen vibes that you’re not sure if she’s your roommate or if she adopted you into her family. It’s time to start a petition for the Jean protection squad. Given the opportunity, I would aggressively hold your hand. 

She’s always open to whatever you want to do. Any recommendations or things that you like she will try out at least once despite her busy schedule. She’s lowkey lonely because work consumes her so any time you want to hang out or do something together, she jumps on it like she’s feral. She get’s a bit shy to ask if she can join in on your plans because she doesn’t want to bother you or intrude no matter how many times you tell her that’s okay, she still get’s a bit iffy about it. Please save this girl before she trips. In your arms. Platonically. Just kidding haha. Unless?

“I can’t wait to see you happy and not hating everyone again haha.”

Childe

First impressions of Childe were great, until he opened his mouth and you realized how much of a two brain cell child(e) he was. He has two braincells because they constantly have to 1v1 in his brain. He’s lived with a lot of siblings so he has no social awareness or concept of privacy that you’re lucky if you come home and he’s half-dressed. It doesn’t matter if you’re 2 weeks older than him, he’s going to call you 82 years old and why your bones aren’t being fossilized at this point. He’s such a little shit, this fucker licks the yogurt lid peel.  

He get’s really restless when he’s stuck under house arrest, because apparently 1v1ing in the parking lot of a Wendy’s is illegal for some reason, so he makes dying whale noises until he get’s to go outside again. But he’s actually a really wholesome guy, probably because of his younger siblings, that he’ll sometimes get you something because you seemed down and it’s such whiplash? Who is this man and where did he come from? You’re starting to have a change of heart before he tells you that he got banned from the library for accidently punching the school’s computer. How you “accidently” punch something you have no idea but Childe always comes home with some sort of injury. Maybe he’s just incredibly clumsy. For your sanity, you’re going to go with that. 

He’s actually so uncultured that it’s crippling. You can’t blame him too much considering his upbringing and it’s great that he’s so interested in learning new things but...child no...It makes you want to take your spine out of your ass and rip it like a Beyblade. Watching him take chopsticks and stab his food like it’s marshmallows makes you want to fall into a blackhole and let the chair consume you. 

“I, too, fantasize about beating the living shit out of people.”

---

Is this another tag yourself game cause I resonate with Diluc. I’m crying in insomnia. As much as I enjoy writing these fics I absolutely hate tagging them. I remember I used to have a tag anon but that was back when I wrote for bnha. 

Valentine’s Day was fun tho. I had a drinking game with friends as we played league then ended it off with a movie night. 

[tea-twords]

Group number 5 for Windtrace headcanons!

In this group: Jean, Kaedehara Kazuha, Kaeya, Kamisato Ayaka, and Kamisato Ayato

Jean

Ohhh fuck

Y'all know I'm gonna go all out again right

Ok so as soon as windtrace is back in season, Kaeya goes to her and askes her to play, because it's been so long

She's working of course, and says as much as she wants to, she cant

That whole thing ended in Lisa dragging her ass out of there and sharing the workload with Amber while Jean takes a much deserved break

Kaeya also gets Diluc to join them as stated earlier

And they play and they're happy🥲

But yes time for actual headcanons

She's a better Hunter than a Rebel, but plays both parts really well

As a Hunter, she constantly remains vigilant, in order to spot any kind of movement among objects

So she's pretty good at spotting people

Also she's fast, so catching a fleeing Rebel wouldn't be much of a problem either

I also feel like she has a decently good instinct as to where people might be hiding

It's not as trained as Gorou's or Yun Jin's but still pretty accurate

Kaeya gets pissy whenever she gets him this way lmao

She would tease as a last resort, if the Rebel is too hard to find

But only if she's sure it will work

She would absolutely tease Diluc to try and find him, cause he's a damn good Rebel as stated earlier

And it would probably work lmfao

But she probably wouldn't tease someone like Rosaria, because Rosaria wouldn't get very flustered and will cruelly return the favor after the match is over

Kaeya had to die for this to be learned

But she might not even have to tease to make someone start giggling

If it's someone she's known since childhood (basically Kaeya Diluc and Barbara), she'd bring up these funny little incidents that happened when they were younger

Most likely at someone's expense

Usually Diluc's

And if THAT dosen't work, oh boy

It would go like:

"Come on guys, don't make me use the last resort"

"..."

"I'm warning you, I don't want to do this..."

"..."

"You know what? Fine."

And then tells the worst fucking Dad joke to ever exist

It gets Kaeya and Barbara so fucking badly lmfao

Diluc just silently sighs because he's dead inside

Oh boy it's getting long again hehe

As a Rebel, she's also good

Not as good a Rebel as Diluc, but still good!

She's a very smart woman, so she's obviously choose places that would either be obscure or be hard to reach

It all depends on the Hunter

Say, if it's Bennett or Sucrose, she'd choose the higher up place

This dosen't apply to Diona. Diona knows to look at the high places and Jean found out the hard way

But if it's someone whose taller, such as Diluc or Eula, she would go to the obscure places

She won't try too hard if Klee's the Hunter though, she wants this to be fun for her and it won't be if it's too hard

She's so nice🥲

I feel like teasing most definitely affects her lmao

She can tease other people, but probably can't take it herself lmao

Kaeya and Diluc know this well

And I feel like Kaeya specifically remembers all of her worst spots after all of the years, but at first she didn't remember his

Because that would be so fucking funny

I mean it also wouldn't take much to get Kaeya a laughing mess again, man's still really damn ticklish

Her favorite people to play with are Diluc, Kaeya, Barbara, Klee, Amber, Lisa, Venti, and the Travelers!

Also Thoma after they meet (or reunite who knows👀)

Also Noelle is an honorary mention! Both Jean and Noelle are pretty overworked to it's good they take a break together!

Akajakdj went crazy on that lmao

Ok next person!

Kaedehara Kazuha

Ah yes let's do this

Like Beidou, he's heard of it while traveling with her, but never actually played

But when the Sakoku decree is gone, he's pretty much forced to play by a very excited Thoma

As mentioned in Gorou's hcs, his first few games were with Himself, Thoma, Gorou, and Lumine

And as also mentioned, did not understand it very well at first

He didn't even use a disguise his first time around���

But Kazuha's a pretty smart guy, so it didn't take him very long to get the hang of it

He's damn good at it now

Kazuha's prolly a better Rebel than a Hunter if we're being real

Anemo people usually make good rebels

Doesn't mean he isn't a decent hunter however

As a Hunter, he mainly relies on his sense of hearing to find people

If he's unsure, he'll stand silently for a few seconds and listen for anything, whether it be breathing or clothes rustling

He's also learned not to dash straight at someone, and approach them more calmly, looking like he's still searching

He's probably gotten Itto more than a few times with that lmfao

75% chance he'll wreck the Rebel he find (if they're friends)

I feel like he would tease, but only under 3 conditions

1: He's pretty much beat, teases as a last resort

2: He's friends with the person he's trying to find

3: (optional) He knows they'll react

He's confident in teasing Aether or Ayaka, because they're pretty much bound to squeak or smth lmao

He'd probably be more hesitant with Beidou or Lumine, because he knows they've got a smug look on they're face and knows they can get him back awfully for it

But sometimes he gets a little daring and tries anyway

Which pretty much leads to his unfortunate demise

Not that he minds

Yoimiya is an odd case, because she does get flustered, but in a less embarrassed/more excited way, and while being really ticklish herself, can easily get back at Kazuha for it

Abdjbwbd I went on for a while didn't I

Ok Rebel Kazuha

He's def got a lot of advantages

He's a strategic person, so he'd choose the spots that are high up/hard to reach and well hidden

Like at the winery for example, he'll hop on up there with his skill and turn into a lantern on a random part of the roof

And then meanwhile Gorou down there mouthing "THATS NOT FAIR🤨" and Kazuha just shrugs and hides

And that's when Hunter Ayato rounds the corner

But yeah his skill and naturally better speed give him many advantages

Teasing would affect him 100% definitely

Like he can be super quiet, but when someone starts teasing him he's almost fucked

He could manage to stay quiet if he tries hard enough, but I assure you he will be so fucking red cause of it

Beidou and Itto tease him especially a lot lmaooo

This is an edit but he'd also pretty much die in that one Hunter's favor thing that keep a rebel in a box

Like the anticipation alone will completely fucking murder him lmaoo😭

His favorite people to play with are the Travelers, Gorou, Thoma, Itto, Ayaka, Ayato, Yoimiya, Yun Jin (let me explain), and Beidou!

And he sometimes really wishes he could play with Tomo, but let's not get angsty right now

I put Yun Jin because I know she has a voice line about him and how he comes to her performances often, and like-

Come on they're friends

I also feel like when arriving in Mondstadt, he'd take a liking towards Bennett, Fischl, and Razor

Omg him and Fischl could probably understand eachother lmaooo

Also Venti! Somethings different about him, but he can't quite place what it is...

OH AND I feel like he would play with Qiqi sometimes too!

He'd let her win sometimes too, since Qiqi isn't too good at windtrace for obvious reasons

Ajdbwhd that's so sweet

I'm love Kazuha

Kaeya

Y'all know I'm going fucking crazy on him too right

HE MISSED THE OLD DAYS

ALOT

AND LIKE ALREADY SAID HE GETS JEAN AND DILUC TO PLAY WITH HIM AGAIN BECAUSE OF THAT

AND ITS GREAT AND HES HAPPY

He might be the youngest (my personal hc) out of the three of them but he's still prob the most little shit out of them

I feel like he would be equally good at both positions, maybe a better Hunter

And as a Hunter, he's fckn fun lemme tell you

He'd be intimidating but in a fun way and teasy as shit

And he's fast too so he can catch your ass

He mainly relies on his eyes for any movement among the land

Or just

Eye

Not eyes

The eye he has shown is a good eye

He's definitely the kind of person to use that favor that kills Kazuha, the box one

He high key finds it so funny to do

The anticipationnnn😭

Friendly reminder that he cannot for the world take any of the things he dishes out but we'll get there when we get there

His teased are a little different that the usual "I'm gonna getcha!" For anyone besides Klee, he likes using more in-depth words to fuck with the rebels even more

Example would be

"I hope you know, whenever I find you, I'm going to tickle the hell out of you. Im sure you've realized that already by now, though, but just keep it mind"

Istg it fucking kills Noelle and Bennett

And Albedo too not surprisingly

Hell he even gets Eula to hold her breath

He's so good at fucking with people's heads man

Diluc and Jean know this way too fucking well

But then they remind themselves that Kaeya gets really flustered too and won't be able to handle anything he's saying right now if it were done to him

But honestly I think his favorite thing to do when he catches someone is wrap them in a behind hug and claw at their tum

He does this most however with Travelers (especially Aether), Amber, Bennett, and Albedo

Bruhhh I'm actually loving these thoughts rn

Him and Albedo😭

Ok ok sorry

Rebel Hcs now

He's got alot of experience from when he was younger, so it comes naturally to be skilled at this

Chooses places that depend on the Hunter

He won't hide in places that are easily spotted if it's Diluc, and he won't hide in Trees if it's Diona. He can be a little more relaxed about where he goes if it's Sucrose or Barbara, but keeps a steady head if it's Jean or Rosaria

He'll often move around the map during the game

Either to escape, fuck with the hunter, or just because he's bored or his current spot

Loves using the bait skill

He's pulled that shit on Diluc so many times and still finds it hilarious

Even though it only means he's even more fucked if Diluc finds him

Now when we talk about teasing

Kaeya is the prime example of "cant take what you dish out" and I think I've made that very clear

Like he's still an evil teaser but holy shit he cannot handle it at all

Like I said Diluc and Jean know this well

And Rosaria

And Lumine

And Albedo

And Lisa and (just discovered) Amber

Ok a fair few amount of people know about this particular weakness of his

But really he'd start fckn blushing and hiding his face and everything (even if he's in a disguise and no one can see him)

...he's cute...

Holy shit though when the Box trick he loves using so much gets used on him

Death

He's gone

Anticipation once again

He kinda loves it tho

An edit after the bartender event: He's a fucking anticipation simp

Even if he's not about to get wrecked just anticipation in general

That's one of the reasons he loves windtrace so much

This one story I made up but accept is with Hunter Rosaria and rebels Kaeya and Amber

Despite her talent, Amber's been caught first and favor just dropped

Rosaria gets the favor, and knowing her, it's the box

So now Kaeya's in the box and Rosaria's pretty much won

And like, kind of like Itto, she's just taking her time walking to it to see where Kaeya is and he's just

Fucking screaming inside

And then she gets there, and she's just standing in front of him while he sits in there

And she can end it all right now, but just chooses to let him wait

"...Well, seems you've won"

"Seems so."

"You gonna make the final capture?"

"...Nah, we've got time. I'm sure you can wait."

"...sure..."

"And then besides, we both know what's going to happen when I do catch you, correct?"

"..."

HES BLUSHIN

ALOT

AND ROSARIA BEING AS EVIL AS SHE IS POINTS OUT THE FACT THAT HE LIKED THE ANTICIPATION

And then he just

Dead

Eventually got wrecked finally when the timer was almost out and Rosaria did what she had to do

And that's how Amber found out how weak Kaeya was to anticipation

I mean, she definitely knew he was ticklish, but he gets so flustered too?

This is gold

Boy these are long but I ain't stopping

His favorite people to play with are: Diluc and Jean obv, Albedo, Rosaria, Noelle, Travelers, and Bennett!

I like to think he offers to play a few rounds with Ellin, the npc training to be a knight

Honestly I just like to think most of the knights are rooting for Ellin because she deserves it

But yeah he says it's useful for training (which it kind of is tbh) but he wants her to be more comfortable around him and other knights

Since she will be with them as well one day

We're all rooting for Ellin

But I also like to think he's taken a liking towards the Kamisato siblings when they visit

They're very interesting people, he thinks

Also their blade-work is so impressive it's frighting

Especially Ayaka being the age she is (17 in my mind)

Although he shouldn't be too shocked, considering the fact that he knows Klee

But it's still really good

Ahh he's probably played with Childe toooo

Okie these were crazy long but here they are

Next goddamned sword user in this post

Kamisato Ayaka

Came to Mondstadt on Beidou's ship with herself, Ayato, Thoma, Sayu, Yoimiya, and Kazuha

Gorou Itto and Kokomi came on a different ride

Thoma was very fucking excited when they got there and basically dragged her and Ayato to play windtrace when he saw it was in season again

Like a lot of people, she was a bit confused at first (and Thoma's excited rambling didn't help

Like everyone else though, she learned where her skill sets were and where they needed improvements

Ayaka is definitely a much better Rebel than a hunter I feel

A little like Kazuha, I think she's definitely got a few advantages for being a Rebel

But we'll get there when we get there

As a Hunter, she's not terrible, but she's no Xiao

She's got pretty sharp senses, and very good speed, so on a good day she could probably catch all the rebels she's looking for with not too much struggle

She hasn't really developed a special tactic for finding everyone, she just tries her best

Her intuition has gotten pretty decent because of this

Also a little like Kazuha, she'd only start teasing if she's beat and she knows they'll react in some way

For example, She probably could tease Thoma, Gorou, Kazuha, Iffy on Yoimiya

Ayato is a maybe, she probably knows him well enough to know what flusters him but honestly...

He's a force to be reckoned with

BUT that dosent mean she hasn't gotten him before and gotten away with it

She has

And she'll only try wrecking the people she's REALLY close to, who are the travelers, Ayato, Thoma, and Yoimiya

But back to the point

She's probably not gonna tease people like Yae Miko, Itto, Iffy on Kokomi, or Kujou Sara

Ok well

Sara probably would react but Ayaka would be too scared to tease her lmfao

Kokomi is confusing, like she probably would get a little flustered herself but keep her composure enough for Ayaka to think it won't work

Also Ayaka's tried teasing Sayu before, but that child won't show herself for shit

She loves the little skills and favors she gets though, and uses them as best she can

That went on long

Ok Rebel Ayaka

She's actually quite good!

We know she's very fast, so that's an advantage

But I also feel like Ayaka would be really good at hiding herself

I have no idea why, just got that feeling

Again, she appreciates the skills she gets and honestly has a lot of fun with them sometimes

She usually goes with the one that will conceal you when you move for a few seconds, but sometimes the bait trick is so fckn funny

She's gotten Itto with that one and trying not to laugh was a difficult task

She finds the disguises a little funny too

Like she'll be hiding as a lamp on a wall or smth and see another Rebel dashing past her as a barrel

And she'll nearly lose her shit

And don't get me started on the teasing

Ayaka is usually pretty composed, but when someone starts with the threats to wreck her

Oh boy

Staying quiet is a difficult task as is, and then her face goes bright red and everything

She's learned that at the first sign, hold your breath

Like as soon as Yae Miko sighs, HOLD IT

It's not uncommon for the hunter to actually hear her holding her breath, but it works pretty well for her sometimes

Her favorite people to play with would be besties Ayato and Thoma, Bestie Yoimiya, Itto, Kazuha, Gorou, and Kokomi!

Pls and Travelers too

She loves em all

This one time, that she thinks about a lot, was when Kazuha was a hunter and her, Thoma, and Ayato were rebels

So they thought it would be funny to hide in one spot together with the same disguises and everything

The first 30 seconds were good, but once Kazuha had walked past them without noticing, it got a little harder to stay quiet

Eventually Ayaka and Thoma sold them out

THEY COULDNT STOP GIGGLING AT THE SITUATION

And Ayato was all "guys pleASE"

Remember when I said Kazuha uses his sense of hearing to find people?

Yeah they didn't win that round

Kazuha caught them all at once

But by god, even though they lost, that was fun as hell

Ok that's Ayaka

Now the bitch I've been procrastinating on

Kamisato Ayato

AHDHWJFB I DIDNT KNOW HIM BEFORE BUT I KNOW NOW

Another sword user here

Mmmmm

Ok let's do this

Ayato's gotta be a better Hunter

He just has that vibe

Not saying he's not a good Rebel as well, but he's probably a better hunter with his usually personality and tactics

Now Ayato's a sharp person

I know most of the Inazumans didn't understand how to play windtrace their first time around, but Ayato's probably not one of them

He actually got it pretty well his first time

Won all the first games lmao

As a Hunter, he's lowkey a little scary

His analytical nature does him lots favors

Got a lot of compliments from Thoma lmao

He uses whatever tricks or strategies he feels like in the moment

A crafty bitch is what he is

His senses are also very sharp, so that's always a plus

Quite the fan of the box-trap thing favor

You know what I'm talking about

Whenever he's the hunter, rebels have to fear that trick

He's so fucking teasy too

Even worse than Kaeya

Not worse than Yae Miko, but no one is worse than Yae Miko

But he can fluster pretty much anyone

He'll wreck someone too

Like he's got such huge ler energy you cannot change my mind

He likes to mess with people's heads, similar to Kaeya

The tickle threats are big

He's actually so intimidating (in a good way) as a ler its great

Ok Rebel Hcs now

He's slick as fuck lmaooo

No but he's actually naturally good at playing this part as well

Often chooses places that are "hidden in plain sight" or just really hard to think of lmao

Like he'll be a bucket in a bush and drive people insane with that

He's such a shit sometimes smh

He also really likes the bait trick

He'll use that like every time

Like, he will be somewhere in which he can see it happen, and then just smirk to himself because he's an asshole

He is quite hard to get but it's not impossible

If you got will enough to find him it will eventually happen

Not gonna lie, sometimes if he knows the hunter is someone who likes wrecking people once they've got them, he'd wreck them first

Like if he just got found by, say, Itto, then his first instinct would be to tickle Itto first before he would get got

Speaking of that stuff, teasing has a weird effect on him

This is Kamisato Ayato, and let me tell you he has no problem convincingly saying he's not ticklish

Like the way he acts about it, you just would believe him

Like even as he's being teased he'll have pretty much no reaction other than slight amusement at the attempts

But he's screaming inside lemme tell you shhh you didn't hear that from me

So teasing won't work on this guy

But

As much as he acts like he isn't ticklish

He is

Very

It's not a well known fact, like say Kazuha's sensitivity, but those closest to him know

Those being Ayaka, Thoma, Yae Miko, Itto, and possibly Yoimiya

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Yae Miko found out before Thoma did, despite their closeness

Miko's just something else

Actually I'm gonna rephrase what I said before

The only person, at all, in the entirety of teyvat, who would get this man to make some sort of noise through teasing, would be Miko

She's something else as I said

But back to Ayato

Yes teasing usually won't work, and he acts like he isn't ticklish but he totally is and it's great

I'm actually not sure if Sayu would know or not, because while they're often in close proximity because of shuumatsuban stuff, she doesn't know because she's never actually seen it for herself

And god knows she's a too scared to try it out

But she might see it happen during the events of windtrace, who knows

But his favorite people to play with would be Ayaka and Thoma ofc, Yoimiya, Kazuha, Beidou, Keqing, Chongyun, Jean (lemme explain) and Xingqiu

That's a lot of people with a lot of Liyue people but lemme explain pls

He met Keqing and she kind of reminds him of himself, taking on so much responsibility at such a young age

It just helps them both chill a little

Kind of the same thing with Jean. She may be a little older than him (my personally hc, Jean's 22 as Ayato is 20-21) but she's still young too

Helps them chill (although Jean's kicked his ass at windtrace a fair few times as well)

He and Ayaka played a few rounds with Chongyun and Xingqiu too

They got pretty close like that, as one normally would

Xingqiu and Chongyun's friendship feels oddly similar, with the way Xingqiu is always poking fun as Chongyun gets flustered as hell as always

Also he and Xingqiu both have the same vision and preferred weapon, so it's always nice to teach him a few things as well

Why do I feel like Ayato and Childe would be so fucking competitive too

There can only be one hydro dps

Abahbddh I went crazy again but is ok

[mrpenguinpants]

I am a firm believer that Childe is indeed younger than Keqing and has no form of respect for her regardless.

It’s moreso a form of me establishing that the Keqing is a short adult in her mid to early twenties who has to inevitably deal with the constant neck pain she gets from having to look up at her co-workers just to make eye contact. She curses either herself for it for never growing an inch or curses everyone around her or, well, both. Regardless, she can occassionally be found in her office stomping the floor and feeling like the battle is her against the world LMAO

As a side note, I loved the little headcanons of the boys as children you included! It was a different thing that would’ve never came to mind otherwise. While I’m totally ride or die on the “four men accidentally hire themselves a babysitter and a daily slander machine (she does it out of love)” train, I do appreciate different variations to the idea.

Oh and seeing myself on the anon list makes me feel a bit warm, it feels like I’m being acknowledged as family for crashing this wonderful blog with brainworms lmaooo— on a much serious note, I really appreciate hearing me out whenever I have an idea or two to share.

Sincerely, Keqing harem brainrot anon

(I felt like using a dash was too orthodox, and these are basically my mini love letters to you for being an overwhelming amount of seretonin, so I figured why not give it a little twist)

Minor Spoilers for Character Backgrounds

I wrote some more on this here: Genshin: Royalty AU HCs

FUCKING CATCH ME CRYING IN THE CLUB AS I HOLD THIS PRECIOUS ASK IN MY HANDS. I THOUGHT YOU DIED. I WAS SO UPSET. REMEMBER THAT ANON ASK THAT I JUST REPLIED TO WHERE ANON FELT LIKE THEY WERE COMING HOME? THAT. THAT IS HOW I FEEL RN.

Yes. I know anons have lives outside of tumblr. Am I a parent penguin now? Yes. Yes I am. I’m fucking crying, it does feel like I’m seeing my family again.

Out of all the “adult” genshin characters, I firmly believe Childe is the youngest. He is just hovering that adult status because of his height. Can I also say how much I love that the “culturally insensitive white boy” idea came from people on twitter getting tired of Chili fanart where Childe calls Zhongli “sensei” even tho the mans Chinese? 

Speaking of short people, and because I will never shut up about this, XIAO IS 5′2. Ty for coming to my ted talk. I can literally astral project and visualize Zhongli being Keqing’s boss or co-worker that’s super respectful - but lowkey a bit slow because he keeps forgetting his wallet and Keqing is too nice to leave him without lunch - but when he’s spitting facts about the ancient art of ink blocks she’s cursing him in her mind. Why is this man so tall?? She can feel the neck muscles in her neck crying out in pain that when she finally relaxes and stares forward rather than upward, she get’s a killer cramp and ends up dying on the floor (I HATE THAT FEELING BTW). She’s out here googling ways to grow taller after puberty and chugs milk cartoons like it’s air. 

This is why I absolutely love sharing ideas with others. There is so much food to be brought to the table so I always try and encourage others to share their ideas. Plus it let’s me get my over-active brainworms out haha. 

I just love the dual personality of younger vs older genshin characters. We got to see a little bit of young Diluc in the manga (pls..I know it’s completed but crumbs. I beg of you) where he was this starry eyed and friendly knight attitude. Actual sweetheart. Your typical childhood boy next door type of vibe that was sweet and polite but was a lot smarter than he looked. He has a pet turtle (or tortoise?) and I find that so cute. I can totally see Diluc being hard working to make his father proud but also slacks hard and watches his turtle awkwardly eat a strawberry most of the time haha. He would both die for his turtle and go to war for it. Honestly, I just love the idea of child Diluc being a bit of a slacker compared to his older self, who is trying to speed run his life.  

As for Kaeya, I’m going to say this now. I fully believe in the art of shy and quiet Kaeya when he was a child. It makes sense in terms of the lore since he was basically shoved into an unknown world and all alone. Poor guy probably has a lot of insecurities and is super standoffish to happy and loud children his age. He might come off as rude but he just doesn’t know how to socially interact. As sad as this may sound, he probably mimics other children as his way of expressing emotions. Since he spent most of his time with Diluc, he probably tried to mimic Diluc’s mannerism to try and fit in but Diluc is smart and caught on. It was actually a really wholesome connection of Diluc trying to help Kaeya express himself rather than copying others. Until well, the incident that separated them. 

Complete side note since I know we’re talking about a modern au but: I know I’m stretching this super thin and this doesn’t hold up in the lore at all but I really like the idea that Kaeya is secretly the Prince of Khaenri’ah and Khaenri’ah is a code word for the Abyss. This is basically me saying I want the Abyss mages and Kaeya to actually get along but due to moving in with Diluc’s family and the world’s view on monsters. He has to talk and play with them in secret. I think it’s kinda cute haha. 

As for Childe, actual angel. Have you seen Teucer? Who is this pure innocent soul and what the FUCK happened to create this Grade A Brat? He got too many vitamin gummies and became a gorilla. I mean, both younger and older Childe would walk an old lady across the street but only older Childe would then try to 1v1 the old lady. I’m actually crippled by the idea that Childe used to be this scrawny kid that decided to bulk up due to deep insecure attitudes towards himself or protection ideas for his younger siblings. Fighting became a need to survive and he hated it at first until he met his Master and found the fun in it because it was his way of having control of a situation. Though of course, while this man has two braincells, he’s still sensible. Childe may be a clown but he’s a good big brother. 

Then there’s Zhongli. In my mind, he was basically like Kaeya. Probably came from royalty as well. He didn’t know how to express himself except his boy was actually hollow. A complete husk of a person that was just doing what he was told to absolute perfection. That was until Guizhong, who I completely headcanon as someone older than Zhongli and acts as a sister figure (fucking fight me), grew concerned for this poor child and tried her best to teach him how to have fun. That there was life outside his studies and duties. While it didn’t work out perfectly and Zhongli is still a bit slow on the uptake, he genuinely is thankful to her and her help. I can see him have a little notebook of all her advice and teachings - heck, drawings of human emotions - that he sometimes has to turn to because he’s lost. (why..do i keep making Zhongli’s part so sad). 

BUT ASIDE FROM MY BRAINWORMS. “Four men accidently hire themselves a babysister and a daily slander machine” IS SUCH A CONCEPT. I want them all to have the worst habits. Childe LICKS the yogurt peel in front of Keqing slowly because he knows it absolutely disgusts her, Zhongli eat’s his sandwiches vertically, Diluc blends coffee with 5 hours energy and doesn’t tell anyone (so everyone has the worst hangover 3 hours later because they all leech off each other), and Kaeya, for the love of god, cover your tit window. It’s too early to get arrested for public indecency.

I’m happy my anon list made you feel fuzzy 💕💕. I’m probably missing a lot of anons on that list because I have the memory of a goldfish so I just listed the ones I could remember. Since you know, you’re some of the few that came back to talk to me which I honestly really appreciate. I know you all have lives outside of this small blog so it does make me really happy seeing you all come back. I’ve mentioned it before but don’t be afraid to chat with me about anything, doesn’t even have to be genshin^^ but I absolutely love the stuff you come up with. 

I never thought of an anon list acting like a family acknowledgement (more as a literal list) but I’m fully on board with that. I went back to my older anon asks to see if I missed anyone (and I probably have since the tumblr search tag is garbage) but I hope they are all still around on this blog and wanna drop by to say hi^^ 

I’m going to go change my anon list to pengu family because holy fuck that’s cute. But with that said, 

Welcome back home keqing harem brainrot anon!
