How the 4ggravate polycule was formed

(I found this oldddd ass draft but I think it’s still funny)

[ace-and-the-rpg-horrors]

i am so normal about the swingset scene, but i'll not lie, the actual kiss part makes me giggle so much because i cannot for the life of me seriously accept and imagine that Monty would have realistically been that smooth

i feel like it's more likely that he would've fallen off the swing, slammed right into Edwin, and sent them both to the floor

im pretty sure I got this pic from either tristan or morgan

Are you trying to make me cry about Monty, Josh Colley?

(spoilers for cyno's second story quest ahead!)

okay this is kind of a red-string insane connect the dots theory, but bear with me here. i was going through collei's voicelines today, and in her "about kaveh" line, she says, "The General Mahamatra once brought him to our place for a meal. From the moment the fruit arrived on the table, he ranted non-stop about his difficult and stubborn roommate for the entire meal. We didn't get a single word in the whole time. We just nodded along and tried to stifle our laughter. It took a lot of effort."

i've heard that line before, but i was thinking about it through a kavetham lense, so it only now occurred to me- why did cyno bring kaveh to tighnari's for a meal?

i've marked both tighnari's house and haikaveh's in red, plus the yellow line to demonstrate the route between their houses. i've done that walk manually at walking speed for fic purposes, and it's about fifteen and a half hours in-game- 6 am to 9:30 pm.

so, with this information, this raises the question: why on earth would cyno bring kaveh to tighnari's house, when it's a goodly distance away, when presumably he has a house of his own?

admittedly, he's not home much since he's off doing general mahamatra-ey stuff, but it's established in his second story quest that he doesn't live with cyrus anymore, so he lives somewhere when he's not busy, and it'd be logical to assume that he has an akademiya-regulated house yknow, nearby the akademiya, but if that was the case he'd just bring kaveh there?

and if he didn't have a house at all to bring guests to, they'd probably go to kaveh's place, or if they really needed to avoid alhaitham, they could go to lambad's or another local resturant?

which brings me to my conclusion- cyno does have a house- he just lives with tighnari.

scrunkly of the season goes to ... character nobody but me gives a shit about ^3^~

unlikely friendships part 3 (i guess making it into a series bc i keep doing it)

part 1 - part 2

[sleepyorchidmonster]

Ok, now we need an event with Collei and the House of Hearth kids.

Maybe the Sumeru cast comes to Fontaine, where the main event is a magic show with Lyney, Lynette and Freminet, and Collei is invited to be a part of it (imagine Kulein-Anbar, Pers, Lynnette's Bogglecat Box and Lyney's Grin-Malkin cat on a stage).

The main problem is Dottorre lurking in the shadows, but he is having enough trouble because Arlecchino is ALSO lurking nearby and doesn't appreciatte her coworker's presence near her kids.

Cyno has a stand-up comedy bit during intervals.

[idyllic-affections]

i know we all collectively agree that wanderer, collei, and diluc are THE dottore haters, but... y'know, diluc would be such an outsider. he wouldn't get it. he'd be so much more mild in his hatred than collei and wanderer because he would not fucking get it. he wouldn't understand.

he suffered secondhand. collei and wanderer, however, suffered firsthand. and trauma isn't an olympic competition, but there is an objective difference between "this person brutally tortured me and abused me psychologically and physically" and "this person killed my parent indirectly which caused my life to spiral downwards somewhat"

idk there is just A Difference there. diluc wouldn't get it.

Hear me out.

In terms of age, Cyno is the oldest, Sethos is probably around the same age as Cyno so he's the middle child, and Tighnari is the youngest.

HOWEVER, in term of dynamics and mental ages- Tighnari is definitely the oldest, Cyno is the middle child, and Sethos is the youngest (I don't why he just gives youngest sibling vibes.) Cyno trying to be a cool older brother to Sethos awww😭 They make me feel so soft😔💞

Collei is the youngest in any scenario if we're adding her as well :)

OH YEAH I THOUGHT ABT IT

BUT HEAR ME OUT ☝️☝️ cyno and sethos have same age, but Sethos was born in may while Cyno in June

So Sethos is technically the oldest BUT Cyno considers him like a little bro and Sethos just go along with him and enjoy it

Tighnari : aren't u older than him of 1 month-

Sethos : shhh. Doesn't matter, he is happy 😊

[blubujollyrancher]

personal opinion but i dont particularly like the way genshin handled elezear??? like i know in the point of view of the actual characters its a good thing but i think its sort of a disservice to collei's character in particular, not to mention the "magical disability cure" trope is just Not Great in general. i was thinking about this and i thought about how collei would actually deal with this in private and imagine the thing that was at fault for everything bad that had ever happened to you just. disappearing without a trace, out of nowhere, after you spent your whole life fighting its battle. i just imagine it would feel. empty?? an empty victory??? like elezear was the reason she was handed over to the seer, it was why everything bad that had happened to her was allowed to happen and now its just gone??? and i think it really cements to collei how powerless she was against it, that for all she did to try to fight and manage it someone else swoops in and it just disappears in a night.

i think the only satisfying way they could have gone about it was perhaps giving those who suffered from it post elezear complications such as chronic pain and difficulty with their hands, ect stuff that they also dealt with when they still had the disease, or even where they still have all the effects from elezear like the scales and stuff but it just no longer spreads?? and maybe overtime it goes away and they get back most of their mobility but it still takes years.

idk i just think its an unsatisfying way to deal with it

[lovesickeros]

ive been thinking about what characters would know sign language, bc despite never being mentioned i can't imagine teyvat wouldn't have an equivalent version.

alhaitham (partially deaf/goes nonverbal) obviously and by extension kaveh (kinda hard to chew out your roommate when they cant understand you), but also collei (goes nonverbal when triggered) would have been taught by tighnari (who knows it bc its useful for communicating silently w other rangers)

How they play with your hair PT 1

Can be read as platonic or romantic

Yae Miko’s part mentions bows and things that could be considered fem.

Albedo:

He is very used to helping Klee with her hair and an expert at braiding. He loves practicing different types on the both of you- from complex to simple- styles from Mondstadt to Natlan. Don’t worry about your hair being too short or the braids too small either, Albedo has very dexterous fingers and a very keen eye for detail due to his experiments.

Probably the one to invent hair detangler for Klee so it doesn’t hurt to brush after she’s been running around outside all day. He probably has notes on your hair type and how to take care of it specifically.

Collei:

She loves to make flower crowns. She was taught by a kid who was bedridden and was treated by Tighnari. It worked as a distraction for the kid and an opportunity for Collei to reclaim a piece of childhood she didn’t really get to experience. Tighnari might have been the one to subtly suggest it to the kid but he’ll never admit to it.

She’s so gentle with your hair at first that you can barely tell if she’s running her fingers through your hair or if there’s a slight breeze. Overtime she’d get more confident in her touches but still mindful enough to avoid hurting you.

Yae Miko:

She treats playing with your hair like a child does to a doll. Obviously, she has a bit more sense to not permanently damage your hair and her playfulness isn’t destructive… to you. She will put as many bows, hair ties, and clips into your hair as possible. It would look good if she focused on one thing but that isn’t her style. After she’s had a good laugh and shown you how absolutely ridiculous you look (in an affectionate way), she’ll happily take it all out and makes your hair softer somehow.

Will definitely tease you by whispering into your ears. Whether it’s something suggestive or just talking about people who visited the shrine, she knows the proximity alone can mess with you. 

Xingqiu:

There’s only one correct answer for Xingqiu, your head in his lap with one hand holding a book and the other running through your hair. Preferably outside and as far away from his family or civilization as possible. He’ll also read out loud if you’re interested. Honestly, he probably brought a book that he thought you’d be interested in just in case this happened. He doesn’t mind if you fall asleep either. He will stay there until you wake up on your own or until there’s danger. 

He likes brushing or even washing your hair for you. It’s a sweet little thing he can do for you and it gives you a moment with each other in the morning before having to face the world.
