#i never considered a triangle with venti and albedo

[merakiui]

I can has cute anon name too?! Hmm I'll go with Rain!

Seriously, please don't worry about rambling!! I'm here following you and talking to you for a reason, so please say however much you want!!

Gosh you are just so sweet... thank you for considering me as a friend imma go cry now🥺

I have read the yan!Venti discussion and YES I AGREE!! I always did get a bit similar vibes between him and yan!Albedo tbh, at least in the way of heavy emotional manipulation and the use of alcohol/whatever concoctions Albedo creates. I wonder if Albedo would ever help Venti by supplying questionable drugs liquids without Darling's knowledge, like a "I found this new drink, let's try it" but only gives it to Darling type thing... what do you think👀

Rain it is! Nice to officially meet you! :D I’m glad you aren’t bothered by my ramblings. Now it’s time to rant about Venti!

Venti is the picture of innocence when he gives you the strange liquid, which sloshes in a clear glass vial and is colored an off-putting, murky black. It looks and smells horrid, practically like decay and death. You’re not sure where he acquired such a thing, but he’s so excited to have you try it, shoving the glass in your face and begging you to give it a taste.

This charade has become awfully consistent, with him having you try a new drink almost every single day. Whenever you try to decline, he’ll get pouty and whine about how difficult it was to acquire this. At least try it! You won’t know if you like it until you attempt a sip. You end up giving into his pressure because it’s hard to say no to someone so cute and upbeat, especially when it seems like he means well.

Albedo only supplies Venti with these concoctions because he expects to get data out of it. This is an experiment in his eyes and you’re a walking piece of data. So rather than testing the potions on himself, he’s more than willing to let Venti try it out on his darling. Maybe Venti even asks Albedo to find a way to create a love potion or something along those lines. He just wants you to be more comfortable around him. More readily compliant, if you will.

Sometimes the potions don’t have any side effects and sometimes they do. Whenever that happens, Venti’s always there to assist you. At some point, you’ll realize that he never actually tastes any of the potions. You’re not sure how that would affect an Archon such as himself, but it makes you even more suspicious because you’re nowhere near as resilient as he is. And it’s dangerous to drink so many weird substances without knowing their true uses.

In the end, Albedo receives his research results and Venti receives new potions to test out on you! One day Albedo will create one that’s truly perfect and then it’ll be something Venti considers using more often when you’re being a little too difficult/emotional!

Perhaps a plot twist(?): Albedo ends up falling for you after analyzing your body’s reactions to his potions for so long—to the point where he memorized certain stimuli and internal/external reactions. And it’s these new feelings of his that motivate him to improve upon the recipes for his concoctions. He’ll figure out that love potion one of these days... Meanwhile, Venti continues to fool you into tasting shady things.

So when he hands you strange potions, you willingly accept them. There’s just no way you’ll be able to get out of it without tasting it. That’s what it seems like to you. And since you’re such a good test subject, what’s the worst that can happen?
