#rin's actual children: liwei

[zhongrin]

hihihi!! no advice ask this time (crazy, i know) but i did want to ask if you had any zhongrin lore scraps for the starving masses (me)(no pressure ofc hahshk)? just silly mundane stuff like shared hobbies or how u split chores!! idk i'm a sucker for domesticity and u two are peak domestic life to me

- sachie 🫶🫶

iehdhwkurjewkhdkejd ahhhh yes with pleasure ueueue thank you for enabling me to share this aahhhhhh this has been in my draft for SO LONG (almost a year tbh-)!!!

this should (i hope) count towards domestic but i wanna. i wanna talk about zhongrin's babies…. bc i have settled on the idea that we're very proud parents of two noodle babies ᰔᩚ

i've talked about them very vaguely in one of the fics for the zhongli birthday series from last year.... their names are liwei (m) and liwen (f)!

.... and then i sorta kinda got carried away..... and this happened.....

...... *cough*

anyway yeah they're my precious children and i love them very very much ᰔᩚ

[zhongrin]

Would Liwen and Liwei ship their babysitters (Coviello and me) together? 🥺💕

MOST DEFINITELY HELLO????????????

"Aunt Vi and Covi are both super nice, but they're so bad at playing house...."

"They don't even know how married couples welcome each other home.... *sigh* I worry about them."

ZHONGRIN BABIES JFJRJFJFJF RHDJEJF.

Excuse me lemme just take in all the info I can about them-

aine, listen. listen. listen.

i have. a vision.

[zhongrin]

being from dragonic lineage, do your kids age differently/slower than other kids? do they live longer? do they have any particular affinity for geo like their father?? augh i love ur kids (that sounds a little odd but i mean it in the normalest way possible, i swear-)

- sachie

hmm.... technically, their 'human' form is them shapeshifting (they still have full dragon noodle forms but i'd like to think shifting into human forms came to them naturally because they do have human blood from my side). hence, i think they would 'grow up' at a normal rate in terms of their human appearance because 1) zhongli teaches them to and 2) they do go to school and play with other kids their age, meaning they would observe their peers and notice their growth, so they'll unconsciously do the same to their appearance.

but yes, they do live longer ;w; ....... when i feel evil i imagine a future where i die of old age and them having to cope with that kind of impactful loss for the first time. bonus imagine of zhongli having to bear the burden of me passing away AND the making sure the kids deal well with grief ˙ᵕ˙ /smacks myself

as for geo element affinity, i answered it here but tldr version is: yes i believe they would be able to wield the geo element :3

[zhongrin]

Any thoughts about your childrens visions? 👀☕️

i haven't 100% settled on it yet hsdkfjslkdjf

as much as i want to give them both geo visions, if i'm going by the theory that zhongli is the geo dragon sovereign, they both should be able to command the geo element regardless of their visions anyway? so i'm more inclined to give them other visions that's not geo 🤔

for liwen, i'm thinking either pyro or cryo ー with inclination towards pyro right now. the image of fire being 'warm as a kindling if handled correctly but can set you ablaze if provoked' fits her. also the way she's ambitious, hyperfocused on her goals, and can stand on her ground… it gives either pyro or geo to me. still, i want her to become the 'successor' for nigguang in the future, so geo feels right…. we'll see. maybe she gets her non-geo vision, but she has to hide it because the public already knows she can control geo (and like zhongli, she wears a fake geo vision). this can lead to delicious delicious plotlines involving her too, methinks haha

as for liwei, i'm thinking dendro or hydro for some reason. mostly because they synergize well with pyro. in my head, though, hydro fits him better? he's very easygoing, goes with the flow, is playful, and adapts well to any kind of situations. and he does take over the teashop in the future, so he can use his vision to help with tea brewing and stuff 🫖 also the irony of how water can cause even the strongest rock to erode……….. hmmm. angsty thoughts.... /smacks self

….. anyway, i think i'll wait until hoyo confirmed what the deal is with zhongli lol. but as of now, this is what i'm thinking in my head bc i am 99% convinced he's the geo dragon sovereign >:3

“I had to give them to your mother for now. When I was a kid, I thought I lost the ring my now-husband gave me, and bawled my eyes out for a good three says. When it comes to jewelry, I think I'll let Mei decide when you're ready or not, haha!”

"Aunty Brynn, we made Uncle Dimi pretty to thank you for the presents!! Do you like it?!"

"I gave him my favorite bow too. For the gems. That should be an equivalent exchange, right?"

bonus. they loved the plushie ᰔᩚ

[zhongrin]

it’s been so cute seeing you talk about the zhongrin kids, rin!! considering holly is always travelling around, she’d probably be the stereotypical wine aunt, bestowing presents from archons-know-where and giving uh very straightforward advice jshsh meanwhile childe is always teaching them about weapons with a silly little “okay don’t tell your parents that i taught you this but—“

the kind of neighbours you should definitely ask to watch your kids when you go out for the night jshsh (actually i think childe is very good with kids especially younger ones, like he’s that older brother type that just is really good at entertaining them, meanwhile i’m like “… so you wanna see a magic trick?”)

waaaaaughhhh hollyyyyyyy ;w; thank you!!! ᰔᩚ they've been in the drafts for so long, so i'm glad i finally had the energy to share them now hehehe

....... i'm seeing the vision, holly. i'm seeing it hsldjfskljdf

wine aunt holly... i think liwen would absolutely look forward to seeing you around then. she loves presents. doesn't matter if it's books or gems or potions so long it's 'useful' or 'functional' lolll she hoards things like her dad

dear god imagine zhongli finally teaching the kids some polearm combat when he deems them "old enough"... only for them to execute the basic moves flawlessly and they go "uncle childe already taught us that" hahahahah

i totally agree that childe would be great with children!!!! maybe he'd be reminded of his little siblings whenever he comes by and see the kids.....
