#alhaitham i think is also a jewelry guy

[tetsuskei]

selfship question for you all, but what kind of nonsexual clothing is your s/o’s fave to see you in? what gets them really bricked up?

Genshin men as cat dads because I’m sick right now and bored

Diluc: best cat dad. He is a walking heating pad so the cats follow him around waiting to swoop onto any unoccupied thigh or foot permanently binding him to the chair. He also is the kind to pick up a mischievous kitty and pepper them with kisses because they’re too cute to be mad at. Any kitty no matter how thin they were before their care will become a plump beast in days of staying at the winery. Not only will Adelinde be spoiling him but Diluc is weak to their cute little meows and pleading eyes even if its their second dinner.

Thoma is just the perfect animal dad. He’s such a ray of sunshine that even the most terrified and scared kitty ends up warming up to him and cuddling beside his thigh.

Itto the kind of cat dad who probably takes in a orphaned kitten thus turning them into a overly clingy and playful cat. You bet that cat isa hefty one too and is well fed. Such a well loved and plump kitty

Lyney would be a literal cat dad. He probably has a better understanding of cats than anyone else to the point where it is like a genuine child to him he’s taking care of. He probably attracts tons of cats.

Pantalone would spoil his kitty rotten. Likely a purebred white cat to lay on his lap for him to pet like a cartoon villain. But cats aren’t always serious and often are foils to their owners. So i think it would be funny if his kitty was more needy and playful than one might expect. It pats at his jewelry or loose hair. It meows rudely when it wants food. Still he keeps the little guy. If anything their defiance of normal cat behavior is amusing and entertaining to a man who hardly leaves his office. Besides, nothing is better than sitting at his desk with a purring kitty laying on his paperwork giving him a much needed break to gently stroke their fur.

Neuvillete in my humble opinion, has a weakness for small and big eyed critters. Especially ones with pure hearts or simple minds. From the adorable and sweet melusines to the mischievous but sweet cats. Its rare he gets to stop and pet a cat but if he does see one on his way to work he will pet it at least once. My personal idea is that his dangling clothes and fabrics would attract a playful and persistent little kitty who would follow him everywhere until they had to be kicked out of the courtroom. But he can’t bare to kick them out so he simply puts them in a room and brings them home later. He knows cats can handle themselves, but he can’t resist the adoring eyes of such a small creature that meows at him for something.

i hope you have been feeling better since you sent this ask, anon!!! thinking about all of the genshin men and the cat dads has me smiling silly... if i may add some more thoughts;

alhaitham tries to take absolutely perfect care of his cat; nutritional meals and scheduled playtimes and such. unfortunately, kaveh is a Spoiler and so the kitty that lives with them becomes an entitled little creature meowing at all hours and desperate and needy for snuggles and love whenever either of the two are around. alhaitham ends up accepting this because how can you say no to that little face!!!

venti attracts cats he is certain because he is allergic; mostly he can manage to hide from them, but there's this one incredibly persistent little orange who seems to have imprinted upon him who can find him no matter where he is . . . and diluc of the angel's share takes great pleasure in allowing it into the tavern to rub along venti's legs and purr and sit beside his dandelion wine on the table.

wriothesley cannot keep an animal because of the conditions of the fortress, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love them. he's more of a dog person than a cat person, but he has a soft spot for older streetwise alley cats with missing eyes and a limp and gives . . . rather a lot of money to animal charities within the court of fontaine.

zhongli has a lil teapot set i commissioned someone to make before and al haitham uses a special bookmark that i gave him <3

awwwwwww omg braiding your man's hair is such a hsldjfksd experience fr fr does baizhu and you use hair oil or the like? does baizhu play with your hair too?

let's see... what else.... hold on let me cheat a bit *googles selfship questions*

zhongli can also brew coffee now because i like my coffees in the morning/afternoon and teas at night! he still doesn't like drinking them tho and if i make coffee fro myself at night he will scold me because he knows i'll be zooming about until like. 3-4am. oops.

al haitham almost always wakes up first in the morning (morning workout king probably) and falls asleep last at night (he's reading and i'm just curling up beside him).

now, baivi - who wakes up first? what does baizhu do when he first wake up? if he wakes you up, how does he do it? and when you both wake up, who usually cooks breakfast? ;)

[justsomeoneintoomanyfandoms]

hey:) i havev a matchup request for genshin and honkai star rail!

id rather not share my name, since its optional

pronouns: he/they

sexuality: bi (id like the matchup to be for men though!)

zodiac & mbti: pisces and intj/intp (i get half half on j and p a lot)

appearance: im 5'3, pale skin, have chin length dark brown hair (that i tie up often bc its annoying), and dark brown eyes. i wear circular glasses and i dress either really casually (hoodie, sweatpants, comfort, comfort, comfort) or i try to look as.. scary? as possible (all black, tight halter top, arm warmers, loose pants) and theres really no in between... i wear a lot of jewelry (rings, ear piercings, bracelets/necklaces if i feel like it) and normally have my nails painted red and black.

personality: im pretty reserved at first, but once i get close to someone im very physically affectionate and jokingly flirtatious. im not very good at comforting people, but i am a good listener, and i always try to be as compassionate as possible. when im presented with a problem, i solve it from the most objective perspective i can. i sometimes overwork myself either as a way of incidental self harm or because i get really determined to accomplish/finish something, and it leads to me not eating/drinking water/sleeping enough, but i make up for it by taking a few days to indulge. oh and i am a very sarcastic little shit.

likes: cats. i love cats. i also like nature a lot. i like anime/comics/webtoons, i love music, and i like learning about practically anything. have a niche interest? rant to me about it. ill take notes and try to remember it as much as possible because understanding more about this endless universe is something ill never turn down. as a result i like museums/zoos/art exhibitions a lot because i can read about new things

dislikes: loud things (excluding the fact that i blast music almost constantly), places with too many people, having to repeat myself...

hobbies: i love drawing my favorite people/places/characters, and painting. i enjoy photography a little. i play violin, piano, drums, and a little bit of guitar, and i like doing it even though i have little time for it. i like playing video games too (clearly, look at the fandom im requesting lol)

no extra info. hope this was enough:)

Hi Anon! Thank you for your request! You put a really good amount of info. I hope you like your matchup!

In Genshin Impact, I match you with...

Another over worker. Alhaitham knows he needs to take breaks and knows you need to take breaks as well. He struggles to remember to take regular breaks and feels he'd be hypocritical if he tells you to take regular breaks.

Also probably blasting music through his headphones constantly. No one has dared to ask him what he's listening to. It's a list of songs you've mentioned to him that you like.

Also enjoys listening to you play music as well. Alhaitham hasn't learnt how to play an instrument and isn't super interested in paying music himself but he thinks you're ability to play is incredible.

He enjoys talking to you about his projects. It helps him get his thoughts out when he gets stuck.

Listens very well. You'll never have to repeat yourself with this guy around.

Museum dates! Alhaitham likes looking at all the artefacts and exhibits. He's not a huge fan of art galleries but he'll tag along if you ask him to accompany you.

In Honkai Star Rail, I match you with...

Dan Heng is another attentive listener! He also enjoys talking about the things he's passionate about and loves that you listen to him with the same degree of attention.

Even more museum dates. Unlike Alhaitham though, Dan Heng would also enjoy accompanying you to art galleries and zoos. Anything that provides him with the ability to learn more is a good thing in his book.

Enjoys listening to music, especially when you're the one playing it. I see Dan Heng as someone who would be good at playing instruments like the violin.

Very good at reminding you to take breaks. Even if it's just a few minutes to walk the length of the Star Rail with him, he knows it's good for you.

If you're busily working on something and don't want to have a break and lose your concentration he'll let you keep working. But keep in mind that as soon as you finish what you're doing, he's forcing you to have a break and a snack.

GAH

Ok so I think I can judge with less of a bias than Alhaitham vs Lisa because I dearly love both of them. And while Venti is probably the better character design in general (recognizable silhouette, not crazy amount of detailing, etc.), I voted for Alhaitham because there's so much about his design that I love, mostly with the added context of his character.

Ramble incoming!

The fact that he's the most visibly muscular playable character so far contrasted with him being a scribe is so funny. It also gave us the glorious "feeble scholar" line.

Weird ass coat makes a leaf shape near his head, visually connecting him to Dendro. From the back (esp when you're moving) it also vaguely looks like wings and his constellation is a bird. (And iirc Al-Haitham means "the eagle" but I couldn't find a source for it)

HEADPHONES!! This guy has headphones to block out noise, he's just like me fr. It even has a cord! And it connects to under his belt/sash, leading to...

The "belt pouch" mentioned in his Character Story! It's such a neat little character thing.

His hair... leaf shapes.... <3 He's just a silly lil sprout guy.

So many repeating diamond shapes, echoing his Skill's Mirrors. Also a lot of eye shapes. Both point to his IRL namesake Ibn Al-Haytham, "the father of modern optics".

Vaguely related to the above: look at his eye... he wears make up.... Ok it's only related bcs it's yet another point towards his 'optics' motif but still

Glove covers only his pinky and ring finger, sort of like artist gloves. Likely to prevent smudging while writing.

The stupid amount of shit on him... the golds and jewelry and all... It shows that the Grand Scribe position pays well long before the information is given to you. The overdetailing that makes fanartists (me) cry actually serves a purpose for once.

In conclusion: Alhaitham!!! (explodes)

Genshin character design tournament- Alhaitham vs Venti

Please judge based on visual appearance alone, not your attachment to the characters.

Context:

Alhaitham is a rational, egocentric scribe of high ranking. He is from a region based Egypt and his element is Dendro (nature).

Venti is a free-spirited and wine-loving bard, as well as the God of Freedom and the Anemo (wind) element. He is from a region based on Germany.
