#oh and ayato!!

[merminns]

Alright I realize I might be late to the scene and all that but I honestly think ken kaneki is not appreciated enough as a character.

Like really, the complexity of his character keeps increasing the more you get into the story and the so innocent boy we had at the very beginning is getting more and more out of sight yet you can see hints of him with every action he takes.

He was overall portrayed so beautifully and it gives me so many mixed feelings but I just love it all

[cor-lapis]

"so you know how my actions ended up being done by some random guy? weirdly the only effect of me retconning the timeline was that his grandson was never born, and-"

[yuikomorii]

I just noticed how Ayato’s smiles starts fading cover by cover and that’s so saddddd D:

// I believe that from the first to last game, Ayato is the character who had to face the most difficulties in the same timeline, therefore it makes sense why he’s not as cheerful and carefree as he used to be. ;w;

[berry-hwa]

I had to put my heart and soul into this BECAUSE THEYRE MY CHILDREN😭😭😭😭😭😭they were so important to little me and i wanted to do them justice (if i stare at this for one more damn second im gonna lose my mind noticing every imperfection i want to fix but i wouldnt be able to post this for another who knows how long if i got hung up on all the details)

SO here's the promised summer [My Last First Kiss] art from yours truly! :3

[pcktknife]

genshin fans really don't play abt they misogyny or they lack of reading comprehension

[paw-padss]

he hates this. spending countless hours of every day behind his desk, leaving you to fend for yourself elsewhere. he does more than just miss you; he yearns for you, longs for you. his heart aches deeply every second he’s away from you. he sighs. every word of his documents, every bite of his meals, every sway of the wind—it all reminds him of you. but all his emotions of sadness fade the moment he sees you again; they seem like a distant fragment of his consciousness as he embraces you, listening to the honey of your voice, taking in your presence. he doesn’t know how he stands it, being away from you for so long.

My fave sprite that i never got to using 😩

[c6jpg]

Just bc I've seen the word everywhere and could rlly figure it out- expy? Could you explain that?

yeah it's short for "exported character" and it's when a character is deliberately and specifically based on a character from another series, hence "exported"

in the context of hoyoverse, they are very much known for exporting their honkai impact 3rd characters into other games, even going as far as having the same VAs in chinese/japanese. so some well known expies from genshin/hsr:

Raiden Mei -> Raiden Shogun, Acheron

Murata Himeko -> Mavuika (Pyro Archon) Himeko (HSR)

Yae Sakura -> Yae Miko

Kiana -> Unknown God

Wendy -> Venti

Otto -> Luocha

Bronya -> Bronya (HSR), Silver Wolf, 99.99% going to be the cryo archon

Seele -> Seele (HSR)

in the case of HSR, they're even more on the nose with it in that Welt is not an expy and actually the same character, so he has very specific reactions towards the HSR expies lol

˚⊹₊ ⋆ MISC. BOYFRIEND HEADCANONS ...ꜜ

genshin boys as significant others, what are their little quirks that make loving them all the more worth it?

ੈ♡˳ ayato, diluc, gorou, heizou, itto, thoma, venti, xiao, & zhongli x reader (romantic, separate !) yes they're in alphabetical order cause i'm me

ੈ♡˳ category :: fluff :)

ੈ♡˳ warnings :: n/a, please tell me if i missed any !

ੈ♡˳ a/n :: ouuuu emilia's writing again OUUUU

. . . boyfriend! ayato, who always delivers gifts for you when he's on trips abroad. it's a secret he'll never tell his peers, but he hates going on business trips. not because he dislikes the notion of traveling, or that he isn't willing to fulfil his duties as yashiro commissioner, but he doesn't like how it takes him away from you. thus, even when you're an entire ocean away, he sends you little souvenir and delicacies from wherever he visits to let you know that you're remembered. an embroidered fan from liyue, world class pies from mondstadt, delicious sweets from sumeru... nothing is too lavish for his love, who never leaves his mind no matter where in the world he may be.

. . . boyfriend! diluc, who leaves you little notes at the winery for you to find. sometimes, his duties call earlier than he'd want them to (much to his dismay, if he decides he hasn't spent enough tine with you yet). on those days when he'll have to leave at dawn without being able to give you so much as a goodbye, he takes time to scribble down a message for you before he takes off. messages of love, little reminders, a brief on where he's going and why-- anything he can to show you that he still cares no matter where on teyvat he goes.

. . . boyfriend! gorou, who likes laying on your lap after a long day of training. at first, you teased him for it, saying his dog genes were getting the best of him, but after a while you noticed he genuinely seemed comfortable with you that way. more often than not he'd fall asleep, even. kokomi explains it as him seeing you as his comfort person, that he'd be at ease when he was with you despite how tired he'd be from duties as general. you found this phenomenon quite adorable.

. . . boyfriend! heizou, who claims he can think more clearly and work much better when you're by his side. a childish claim from he who claims to be the best detective in the world, but he couldn't care any less. he always manages to make up an excuse for you to come along on his cases. when investigating, sometimes he asks for stupid things under the guise of asking for your help. holding his hand so he can lead the both of you closer to the answer? undoubtedly logic in his eyes! grabbing you by the waist to keep you near him so you won't get lost? don't see the problem with that! kissing his forehead so his genius brain can work better? ...alright, maybe that will take him a bit too out of commission to focus on the case.

. . . boyfriend! itto, who has the ataraki gang help him to set up your dates. knowing him, he won't allow anything involving you to be simple and sweet, no no, he's all about extravagance! only the best for the love of his life, he says! last minute planning and execution with the arataki gang has become a recurring factor when it's his turn to decide on dates and the nature of them. admittedly, they don't quite always go well... maybe a little fire here from burning food they cooked, or a horrible attempt of a live musical performance going south because of the members sheer lack of skill... but it's the thought and effort that counts! and they certainly have a lot of that ♡

. . . boyfriend! thoma, who always makes you handmade and homemade gifts. whether it's a little origami craft he learned how to make, a pastry he got the recipe of recently, or a flower crown with blossoms he picked himself while out to do errands-- he's willing to give anything he can to you. they aren't just random little trinkets either, not for him at least. each one he makes with the intention of giving it to you first and foremost. love and care are carefully put into the craft, and you always get first look when he tries something new. after all, you deserve nothing but the best in his eyes!

. . . boyfriend! venti, who embarrasses you by singing songs he wrote for you in public. as a bard, he considers it his duty to entertain the people of his city, but does he really need to make it obvious who his songs are for specifically? he sings with such a smile on his face that you know he knows what he's doing, annoying bastard. his excuse? well, he wants to proclaim to the whole world his love for you! songs dedicated to you will reach across the seas of teyvat and be sung till the end of time, he promises. for as long as his music lives and his lyrics never die from peoples memory, memoirs of his love for you will live for ages to come.

. . . boyfriend! xiao, who never fails to make time for you. work as a yaksha is terribly busy-- even when there aren't any demons around liyue to eradicate, he spends a great amount of his days patrolling and protecting the nation however he can. but still, he makes sure that his work doesn't keep him away from you for too long. he isn't quite used to this relationship thing, and frankly might not know his way around making you feel loved, but he tries. even the simple moments of rest he has with you he appreciates, he can only hope you feel the same.

. . . boyfriend! zhongli, who takes you out to gorgeous places in liyue. barely anyone would have discovered otherwise. he has governed this land for a great many centuries, and in turn have seen the rise and fall of many beautiful places due to change in geographical landscapes. but still, he's bound to have a few with beauty preserved throughout the years, and he's more than happy to take you to all of them. on top of tourist worthy spots, he sometimes brings a bit of food, wine,  and flowers to present to you on these dates, as well as a great many stories if where you're visiting to keep you both entertained.

Cordelia-sama ur children don't realise how good of a Mommy you are 😉

[tatatatatara]

The other Aogiri Tree executives, probably

[wri0thesley]

corruption kink men who make you come and then make fun of you for being so so sensitive afterwards, even pressing your thighs together makes you sigh and shiver, aren’t you just the cutest most precious little thing? how can they resist touching you more when you whine so sweetly and squirm so adorably?

[sexysilverstrider]

YOURE ACTUALLY HANDSOME???? AND BLONDE???

[yuikomorii]

It's so cute how Ayato's face goes from boyish to mature. Like in some CGs his face looks so cute but in others he looks so handsome and mature. One of my favorites is the one in Vandead Carnival where him and Yui are looking at the different sweets. That's definitely my favorite CG of him it's just so GSHAHXGDHAHA

// Ikr! I like how his design exudes duality, although that makes him kinda hard to accurately draw, lol.

However, it’s funny how Satoi and Rejet (and even fans) sometimes indirectly “slander” him about that. I remember some interviews where they’re like: “I’d rather say that his face is more on the cute side. He might be the cutest of them all”, “Ayato is the one who visually changed the least since he was a child”, and when Satoi was asked about her favorite Ayato cg, she chose the HDB wedding one because: “Ayato and Yui look mature there”. xD

I also really like that VC cg! I literally love everything about his VC route, it was so sweet, especially the ending! 🥺🩷

But to sum it up, Ayato 99% of the time:

THAT 1% 👀:

[gagad]

Omg when Kino kissed Yui and she slapped him, then he said it was his first time he got slapped by a girl, I was like, Boy??, how can someone crazy nervous bitch like you to stop without doing anything?

Late Nights Under the Stars

Fem!Reader

Summary: Two-night owls flirt under the stars before heading to bed to get some sleep.

Words: 711

AN: I haven’t posted a fic since July 2021. uhhhh crochet took over me a bit. But I swear I’ve been writing in the background. I’ve been trying to write a fic for this man since he was announced as a real character and not just an npc.

"How long have you been sitting out here?"

Y/N turned her head around looking behind herself to see Ayato standing behind her. He was already dressed for bed. It felt like a first. Usually, Y/N was asking Ayato how long he had been sitting at his desk.

"I couldn't sleep. I just felt too warm and cramped up in the room. I've just been staring at the sky trying to map out the stars. I think the only thing I've been able to map is where the moon is."

Ayato smiled, shaking his head. He sat next to Y/N on the stairs of the Kamisato Estate. "Has it helped to clear your mind?"

"A little bit. I think it reminded me how small we are in the grand scheme of everything. With all the stars in the sky you know there are probably planets circling those stars." Y/N was focused on the sky once again. "I mean just think about it. We can't be alone in the universe since there's Lumine. I just wonder how many worlds there are out there."

"So in other words, it has not helped you clear your mind." 

"Yeah." Y/N laid her head against Ayato’s shoulder.

Ayato put an arm around her, pulling her close. "It's good I came out here. I think you would have started an existential crisis in Thoma."

"Just Thoma? Not Ayaka?"

"Yes. Ayaka would have dragged you back inside already the moment you started rambling."

Y/N laughed. "Oh, would she now?"

"She's forced me to rest more times than the stars you've been counting. You can only protest her so much." Ayato spoke from experience yet proud of her behavior.

"So what would she do if she found us out here?"

"Maybe say I'm being a bad influence on you."

"I don't think you are being a bad influence. I've always been a night owl. I'd still be doing this even without you here. I think whoever I ended up with would have to deal with me being like this."

Ayato laughed. "You make it sound like it's a burden."

"I didn't mean to make it sound like a burden. I'm just tired. I can't word right at the moment."

"Let's get you to bed then. As much as I love all sides of you. I don't think the world is ready for such poetry of 'Can't word right'. You might be considered a genius and then how would I be able to see you then?" Ayato stood up and held a hand out.

Y/N took his hand helping her get off the seat of the stairs. "I'd run away every night, crawl next to you in bed and tell you how much of a nuisance it is to have the world consider you a genius."

Ayato didn't let go of her hand as they walked to the front door of the estate. "And what if you were sent off to another country?"

"I would make them think I'm so lovesick that they would ship me back home. And when I set foot back in Inazuma I would tell them they fell for my trap. Cause I do my best thinking with you."

"Sounds convincing to me." Ayato opened up the door to the estate letting Y/N walk in before himself. He closed the door behind him making sure it was locked before continuing on to their shared room.

"Perfect. Even though I don't think anyone would mistake me for a genius it's good to have a plan in place."

"Not sure. You're already planning ahead for theatricals. Exactly what a genius would do."

Y/N laughed. "Of course, you would know that. Must you forget, my only talents have been anything but traditional book smarts? I was made for the arts."

"Still requires some sort of brains. Even then it's easy to tell you were made for the arts when you look like someone brought a wood carving to life."

"And you say I need sleep. I think you're trying to romance me all over again."

"And if I am?"

"Then I feel bad for whoever overhears you flirt because I'm not stopping you." Y/N had planted a kiss on his cheek before heading towards their bedroom.

“I would hope not.”
