#i think im biased but i think it would be easy to be with kokomi

How do you feel about a/b/o forced marriage/arranged marriage with female characters? If you like the idea, which of the Genshin characters would you like to go with that route? I felt like Eula(if she had any privileges of her family), Ayaka and Ninguang would be interested. It’s really interesting

ABO is ok at best by itself. But top that with forced marriage and it becomes a gourmet meal 🤤

- headcanons w/ eula, ayaka, ningguang and Kokomi (in that order)

Mild dead dove content below the cut!!

Eula, before defecting from her family, would absolutely abuse her privilege and power as a Lawrence member to 'steer' you into her path. She would be ruthless in eradicating her contenders with any means possible. She would be persistent in pursuing you. She is educated, trained, resourceful and practical, seeking to use any means available to her to forcefully garner your interest.

Unlike the rest of your potential interests, she has no more reputation left to spare, so anything goes. Even underhanded murder isn't off the table. If she has to play the villain, saving you from those disgusting alphas, she would cultivate all that negativity and turn it into productivity. You don't need to understand her motive, because no one does but herself, and she's already gotten used to that. But you're not getting away from her, and she makes that abundantly clear when she corners you at a fancy ball, silent and imposing, but ready to waltz with your hands in hers- whether you like it or not.

-----

Ayaka would be so much more covert in pursuing your interest. It would start of far more innocent at first- extra make-up, inviting you for little dates, catering to your tastes whenever you visit the Kamisato estate. Even going so far as to rigorously studying your usual schedule and planning ahead for deviances when you begin to show signs of interest in someone that isn't her.

That's when it gets more intense. Her hands become so much colder and rigid holding yours. Her gentle disposition stays unwavering, and yet her gaze doesn't feel present. She's a tad bit more pushy when it comes to inviting you over to her home for tea and dango. Sweet little Ayaka is a gentle summer breeze, a generous breath of fresh air, but when winter comes-if you aren't prepared- the icy storms can entrap you in a deadly ballad.

-----

Ningguang is purposeful and upfront when she confronts you. At first, you can be in it for mora. Your life starts humble, but suddenly you're filthy rich and a hundred feet off the air, reigning over the city of Liyue. You get to enjoy all the fine food and wine imported from whichever region you ask for. Your clothes are silky smooth, jewelry sparkling, and you haven't seen the same dress twice. Ningguang is generous with her mora, but she is certainly not generous with her expectations from you. You can't leave the jade chamber. The only woman you can look at is her- not even her secretaries- and if you so much as glance up by mistake, you're punished and locked in solitary confinement until you 'understand who you belong to'. Your heats cannot be suppressed- she will take care of it for you in its entirety.

If- when you are expecting, she becomes even more controlling. Your diet and exercise become closely monitored by specialists (whom you cannot spare a glance at). You don't even get to choose your clothes anymore. You are an object of her affection. A mate, for her to love and cherish, but not to share. After all, the Tianquan likes to keep her private and work life separate.

-----

An honourable mention that I think would absolutely take advantage of her position to snag a little submissive and breedable cutie off the streets for themselves:

Kokomi: a stressed out (and admittedly pent up) tactician enthusiast turned war general and divine priestess of Watatsumi actually gets pressured into finding a mate (real; not click bait). She kind of just picks and chooses some random bloke minding their own business from the side and it happens to be you. You can't really say no, not in front of everyone, not in front of the divine priestess, so like, you're just forced to go along, back into the shrine with her.

You grow on her a bit, and eventually she kind of just uses you as a crash pillow after a long day of being a leader and doing leader things. It's not terrible- still technically forced, but she's open for suggestions on how to be a better, more communicative mate. A little awkward and too formal to be a spouse, but she eventually loosens up enough for comfortable conversations over dinner. Most of it is about your day, and the rest is just her being a nerd about war strategies, and stuff. Perhaps it's best you let her grow on you, too.

Hey, can i ask you something Aph? So idk if you saw my last ask but i just started playing Genshin impact again and just finished the first two chapters of the Fontaine Archon questline. As you know, Arlechinno was confirmed to be in the next banner. Now i didnt watch the livestream out of fear of spoiling myself since i havent met Arle in the Archon quest yet and was afraid to get spoiled of her true nature or something. So can you tell me what her kit is? Is she worth wishing for? She looks cool but other than that i dont have much reason to get her because im already comfortable with the characters i have.

(Also my first impressions of the Fontaine Archon quest was pretty good. I like the plot we were given for the first two chapters, although from what i heard, the rest of it will be much more. Hope i can find the time to play it since im very interested to see what’s actually going on with Furina, something about her.. makes me wonder on who reallly is she)

hi dear!!! i can definitely tell you what i know <3 i'm biased, so of course i think she is worth wishing for, but it ultimately depends on you and what you want/need. if you find youself liking her character and you are in need of a fun pyro dps, i would say pull for her. i DEFINITELY need a pyro dps so my pulling for her was never a question.

arle is a polearm user and seems to be a pyro dps that scales (partially? or somewhat at least; i know that one of her skills does seem to scale off of hp) off of her health & attack, which--i think--makes her pretty easy to build. i think i'm going to put thr crimson witch of flames artifact set on her personally.

she has a unique mechanic called bond of life, which seems to be exclusive to her at the moment. from what i understand, this mechanic makes is so that she has something of an additional red hp bar (which is attained by using her charged attack or elemental skill i think)--when she has this bar, however, she cannot heal her original green hp bar at all while she's on-field (i believe a healer like kokomi can bypass this mechanic bc kokomi heals off-field characters with her burst). once this bar reaches a certain point, all of arle's damage becomes pyro damage that overrides all other damage types. and i believe her elemental burst resets the bond of life.

DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS THOUGH there was a reel on instagram that explained it really well but i CANNOT find it so i'm trying to restate what i recall about it. i don't think my memory 100% accurate but i know that, at the very least, it isn't COMPLETELY wrong hehe
