#constantly grieving but constantly holding onto that grief bc it's all he has sometimes. constantly holding onto the people he has left too

HEHEHE THANK U

oc asks

💥 COLLISON - what emotions do they have trouble dealing with?

finley finds it hard to deal with every emotion. he IS emotionally mature, as in he does know how he feels and doesn't make others pay for the way he feels, but it's difficult for him to deal with having any kind of emotion because he gets such physical reactions to them? frustration makes him nauseous, fear makes his legs weak, happiness makes his throat tighten uncomfortably, etc etc. he's just such a physical man in his reactions—and represses so many of them—that it's hard to deal with any emotion at all without being a little weird about it.

💤 SLEEPING - do they fall asleep easily? what helps them sleep?

he's always had some trouble falling asleep, even as a kid, and especially now that he's in night city with all these noises that he's still not entirely used to. what helps him fall asleep is surprisingly to drink some chamomile tea and listen to movie soundtracks!! it keeps his mind off everything else, at least for a few hours.

🍰 CAKE SLICE - favourite cake flavour? are they specific about types of cakes?

i'm sorry to tell you this but this man does not like cake. he can make an exception for banana bread but that is IT. he doesn't like the texture and, esp with store bought cakes, HATES the icing. i don't think anyone hates icing more than he does in all the nusa.

🌋 VOLCANO - how bad is their temper? is it a slow boil, or a instant explosion?

before the heist, finley's temper is closer to a constant simmer. he's not an explosive guy and, as i said before, he represses many of his reactions to the emotions he feels, so he usually manages to calmly tell whoever's getting on his nerves to knock it off (through gritted teeth most of the time, but still).

after the heist, though, he's a lot more explosive. it doesn't take much to piss him off because he's just got so much going on and it's all a little too much, so he doesn't give as much of a thought about others' feelings before he tells them to shut the hell up or, in some cases, punches them right in the teeth. still, he tries his best to control that temper of his.

🌏 EARTH - will they give up the world for someone they love? is this decision easy for them?

in a heartbeat. finley is so full of love that it hurts me physically to think about it, he loves his friends and family so so much and would burn down the entire planet for their sake. there is literally nothing he wouldn't do for them. maybe he'd feel a little bad about it. maybe he'd feel REALLY bad about it. but, to him, they come first, and the rest of the world comes after.

📸 CAMERA - do they enjoy having their picture taken? what's their go-to pose? do they like taking photos? what do they take photos of?

does not care about having his picture taken, but it rarely happens because his go-to pose is literally a kubrick stare. he makes even the silliest picture look like jack nicholson just showed up.

he doesn't take many pictures, but the ones he does take, he prints out and keeps either in his apartment, in his car or in his vest. he takes pictures of the people he loves, but also of things that remind him of them. whenever he sees a cool car, he takes a picture because that's the kind of thing he'd have shown jackie in the past.

✏️ PENCIL - is there a particular quote / lyric that you associate with them?

"i wish i had the time to live a little more"

song lyric that makes me fall to my knees and weep uncontrollably!!! he wants nothing more than to live peacefully and yet he's thrown in a world where everything moves so fast and people leave so fast and. ogh

🔧 WRENCH - are they good at fixing relationships? or do they tend to avoid doing so?

you can try to pry a relationship out of finley's cold dead hands. even if there's nothing left to fix, even if it's toxic, even if it kills him to hold on, he never lets go, at least not willingly. relationships are incredibly important to finley and, as hard as it is to actually get close to him in any way, once you're there, he'll do anything to make you want to stay.

☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon

he can sew really well!! he had to learn pretty early to do that while living on the road, but it's now something he does to relax in his free time. he's still really bad at creating designs, but he makes ugly little plushies that he displays in his apartment or gifts to his friends (the aldecaldos have one that serves as a mascot. it's supposed to be a dog. it does not look like one.)

cute things i think the genshin characters would do

characters included: diluc, kaeya, venti, and albedo 

****minor lore spoilers for diluc!****

an: i’m thinking of making this into a series bc this was such an adorable concept to write so lmk if you’re interested 👀 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

diluc 

sorry kind of starting off with something a little sad 

i think diluc would have a habit of rubbing his vision 

ok seems kinda dumb at first but let me elaborate: 

after the death of his father, diluc was quite obviously devastated 

he basically withdrew into himself after letting all the grief, pain, and rage flood his senses

i think during this time of grieving, he would’ve developed this habit of running the pads of his fingers across his vision to calm himself down 

(v similar to katara from atla) 

since his father had always been proud of diluc’s vision, the thought of touching something that reminded him of his father has always been able to bring him some sort of relief no matter how short lived

it serves as a constant memory of his dad and i think being able to have that kind of connection - no matter how small would hold a significance to him 

stressed? you’ll see his fingers dance across his vision as the crease between his eyebrows gradually loosens 

ok here’s a bonus habit (bc the previous one was sad) 

whenever he’s bartending at angel’s share, he always flips the bottles in this cool bartending way before pouring the drinks 

like the whole shabang - flips in the air, shakes it in a way that the drink foams just right 

people are usually v surprised when they see this bc woah mans has got some sKILLS 

but also bc he’s known for being pretty serious and reserved so seeing a “trick” is kind of breaking the stoic image they have of him 

after he’s done pouring the drinks he’s also really precise about closing the bottles 

he makes sure that the caps are on tightly and that nothing is leaking (which ig is another reason why he does flips with them so he can make sure that the bottles are tightly closed) 

yes he’s rich but he also wants to make sure the drinks don’t go bad bc 1) kind of a loss if they do and 2) his customers deserve the best 

sweet man pls protect him <3 

kaeya

when he’s sitting down at his desk, he brings his legs up so he can sit on his chair criss- cross applesauce 

since he’s in his office and the only other person who’s in there with him is jean, he feels like he can drop the suave, charming cavalry captain facade he puts on when he’s in public and just dial it down slightly to who he really is in that moment 

jean doesn’t say a word the entire time even tho she quite obviously notices 

don’t get me wrong, he’s still the smooth talking kaeya but just,,, more relaxed and comfortable?? if that makes sense 

so since he’s a lot more comfortable in his office, he usually folds his legs into his chair bc damn they hurt from walking around all day

this is kinda dumb but i also think he has a lot of ink stains on his hands from writing so whenever he sees a fresh one he just likes to stamp it onto a piece of paper 

usually that piece of paper ends up being an unimportant report that goes to jean 

dw he also has a bunch of pretty small towels in his bottom drawer that he uses to wipe his hands on bc the public can’t see the pretty cavalry captain w ink stains!! the world would end!! 

oH kind of a side note but i also think he would keep a small folded up picture of something klee drew him in his pocket 

he thinks it’s very sweet and he periodically takes it out just to look at it soft for this man 

last one for kaeya but since he wears boots that have the little lip on the bottom (not really a heel but enough to make some noise) he makes sure to always try his best to walk quietly around the streets of mondstadt at night 

if anyone catches him doing it he’ll wave it off and say something like “oh me? i’m just practicing my stealth - it comes in handy when you have to sneak up on enemies you know?” but in reality that’s just bs 

he really just doesn’t wanna risk waking people up <3 

venti

this adorable man is obviously notorious for drinking 

he loves alcohol!! i mean he’s the anemo archon of the city of wine and freedom so is anyone really surprised 💀

anyways venti always jokes abt not having any mora (he really doesn’t he’s not wrong) but he always makes sure to pay his tab at angel’s share 

the only reason diluc lets him drink sm is because at the end of the day, venti always comes through w the mora 

he really is a talented bard so everything he makes in singing and composing music for other people to listen to always goes straight to angel’s share (debatable if that’s for the best or not but i’ll leave that one to you) 

so yeah <3 basically venti pays back his tabs even tho he’s an archon since he doesn’t want people to experience a loss bc of him 

it’s the archon nature coming out but also the venti nature bc he’s a sweet boy 

anyways getting onto the actual habit 🕺

he has a tendency to skip/hop regardless of wherever he’s going 

he uses his anemo elemental skill a lot while doing this just he can feel a light breeze whenever he skips around 

i also think he carries around extra bard strings in his hat bc he thinks it’s a cool party trick to take them out and be like tada i have extra strings no need to worry!!! 

people are usually not that amused but he does it anyway 

also yeah uh those strings sometimes fall out when he’s skipping 💀 

he’ll be hopping and suddenly bOOM they fall out, he loses them, a kitten by the name of prince takes them, and he has to ask for help to find his strings (i believe this is exactly how venti lost his strings to prince during the windblume festival and no i will not take any criticism and if venti says something different he is lying 🔪)

also has a habit of putting his hair into a bun sometimes!!! 

he loves his pigtails but he finds that he gets bored of them occasionally and his hair needs a break from its wavy tresses so he just plops it into a bun instead 

so so cute 10/10 hairstyle he can do my hair 

anyways love this man thanks for coming home <3 

albedo

i had a feeling i would kind of have a hard time w albedo since he is a little hard to read so i hope this is ok LMFAO 

he has paint stains. everywhere. no you cannot change my mind. 

they are subtle tho i will give him that 

you can’t notice that anything is amiss until you really pay attention and then you’ll start to see the pretty pastels and greens of the sunset he was painting up on dragonspine softly smeared across his clothes 

very rarely you’ll see a cute swipe of paint across his cheek or neck and it’s honestly adorable 

he was probably pushing his hair out of his face while he was painting and some excess paint on his finger landed on his cheek :,) 

he doesn’t really care tbh he thinks it’s just a part of him and it really isn’t that noticeable so he just leaves it 

also!!! since he is a big alchemist and he’s constantly working on labs and experiments i think he would accidentally misplace a lot of his written work 

he seems very organized but w someone as intellectual as him w his brain running miles a minute, i’m sure he has definitely forgotten where he’s put stuff away 

so!! in order to help him remember, he has little notes across his lab detailing where everything is 

if he was working on something and he immediately has to put it on hold bc something came up (klee came in demanding attention or sucrose needs help) then he’ll quickly jot down a note and stick it to his desk so he’ll remember when he comes back just in case he forgets 

sucrose as a result has noticed A LOT of notes across the lab and it’s simultaneously funny and endearing 

“started experiment with sweet flowers to try and turn them into a youth elixir: papers --> on the desk right next to klee’s photo” 

final point: he lets klee braid his hair sometimes if she wants to 

she doesn’t really know how given how young she is so she ends up messing up but albedo always walks her patiently through the steps again 

always makes time for klee no matter what bc he really does care a lot abt her :,) 

i love him sm pls
