Verse: G.enshin Impact
Vision: Anemo
One would be hard pressed to learn much about Jianyu if asked. He will merely state that he is from Liyue – the Guili Plains at that – and then give no further elaboration if pressed aside from him becoming curious about the world as a whole thanks to the tales he would hear from the harbor. It was through these tales, along with the stories he grew up on in regards to Rex Lapis, that he would eventually take his leave of his homeland, and instead, ‘spread his wings’ elsewhere as if guided by the wind itself. The things he experienced in life were a series of little coincidences from how he awoke one day beneath a tree to see a vision sitting in the palm of his hand as a boy, all the way to when he eventually joined the Adventurer’s Guild, and then from there, joined a mercenary group to further strengthen his skills.
His history, he would say, matters very little as there is hardly anything special about it. He was a young man who held endless curiosity and hunger for freedom, nothing more, nothing less. “Heh, sorry. No thrilling tales to offer from this experienced traveler. I was just another dreamer,” is what he’d always say. Jianyu occasionally likes serving as an escort to merchants, going with them from region to region and making sure they get home safe and sound from their journey. To him, it’s just another means of being able to travel – but this time, for profit without him having to dig around in his own pocket to do so.

finally cleaned up my carrd 😩 i remade the mains/exclusives page and added more things to his profile, mostly canon info but more importantly my self-indulgent headcanon about how many languages he speaks ❤️ do not underestimate the extremes to which he goes to appear Cool and Sophisticated and my ability to force my interests upon him just because i can
i still need to write out his background but i'm (maybe foolishly lol) half-waiting on wakui to tell us more... if not then it truly is mine and arph's city 🔥🔥🔥

peeks my head in here now.... long time no see!! ive done a bit of housekeeping around my blog and cleaned out my followers a tad, and i think my dash is finally in a spot that makes me comfortable ;v;
also to add that ive updated some things in serena’s rules, so please take a look!! my mobile rules page and the rules tab on my blog are the exact same, i just figured it would be easier to link the mobile page instead :’)
just a basic tldr, i finally put in a ‘no minors’ rule after needing it for... a really long time now 😭 and! serena is now singleship (with red ofc)! so any relationship talk of any kind period will default to him and im not shipping her romantically with anyone else <3

x:: will g.raham and cooking
i'm still working but rq: will knows how to cook for himself.
we see him making food for his dogs that is better than most people prepare for themselves.
he has a ton of kitchen gadgets and at least a stack or two of cookbooks in his house, canonically (there's a few seafood-themed cookbooks for sure and then he keeps a few books and binders in his pantry which i can only assume are full of recipes). fish is most definitely the star of most of his meals, but i'm sure he knows how to prepare it in a thousand different ways by now.
he visibly has food out (we see bread, a mixed bowl of fruit, even butter in a precious little glass container that's shaped like a chicken?? weirdo) on multiple occasions.
his father worked ridiculous hours and he was left to his own devices for pretty much his entire childhood, he learned how to cook for himself. it's likely that growing up he occasionally got dragged to neighborhood bbqs, cookouts hosted by his dad's coworkers, etc. so he was exposed to a bit of variety in food there too. and specifically for my will, growing up afab in the south, you show up at an event with food and you are instantly in the kitchen and finding ways to help. even if will didn't want to, it's just etiquette. even if they just told him to sit down and peel potatoes, he was AROUND food and learning about it.
butter chicken container under the cut cuz it's really really cute.

OMG I LOVED UR CHARLES X SHORT ALIVE READER CAN U DO ONE WITH EDWIN PLEASEEEEE
THANK YOU SMM both for the compliment and the request, and ty for your patience !!
edwin / short!alive!reader
a/n: i hope edwin doesn't seem ooc in this 😭
tags: gender neutral reader, short reader, alive reader
- okay first off, some hcs for before you get together:
- you're the newest addition to the group (thus expanding the alive sector of the dead boy detectives)
- the romantic tension is immediate, and edwin, no matter how hard he tries can't deny it
- would try to stand over you, frowning, to be intimidating
- but when you smile at him, unperturbed, he can't handle how cute you are and ends up being the one getting flustered
- charles and crystal are side-eyeing each other in the background as this happens, and niko is just very happy for her friend
- as for AFTER you get together...
- edwin is secretly SO grateful to be able to rest his head on yours like he's always wanted to do, and give you forehead kisses...
he would always ask permission to kiss you
- a softly mumbled "may i?" while looking down at your perfect features - if you say yes, it'll be gentle, no matter if the kiss is chaste or passionate
- he doesn't treat you gently because of your height (he would never underestimate you like that - you're one of the strongest people he knows) but because he thinks you deserve to be delicately loved
- for your first date, edwin would explore the area for its more scenic and secluded routes, and take you there on a walk
- he treated you to a milkshake earlier, and the way you lit up and thanked him gave him butterflies
- imagine: music playing from buskers a street away. since there's no one here, you ask him to dance
- he rolls his eyes but agrees, because how could he ever say no to you?
- you're bouncing around with your fingers intertwined with his
- he notices that even with all your jumping, you barely reach the height of his ear, and he thinks it's adorable
- edwin spins you around and you're both laughing when you fall into his chest
- he wraps his arms around your neck, all too aware of how close you are even if he can't feel it. if his heart was still beating, it would be jackrabbiting in his chest
- ...he can't help but hope you're enjoying the proximity as much as he is
- edwin adores your height. he thinks it's so cute and loves the benefits of it
- if you say you want to be taller or anything he'll immediately respond with, "i think you're perfect for me the way you are."
- imagine: browsing the shelves at tragic mick's when you see a book that's practically screaming edwin's name
- one problem: it's on the top shelf
- but of course you can't ask edwin to get it for you, if you're planning on getting it for him
- so, you decide to keep trying, because you're nothing if not determined
- after a while of semi-climbing the shelves, edwin finds you
- edwin: [name], what are you doing?
- you: ...i saw a book you might want, but it's on the top shelf
- edwin reaches over you to get the book, looking especially pleased with himself when he presents it to you and you begrudgingly smile at him in thanks
