feed me more kouming content pls i wanna know more abt their dynamic and how they ivercome their struggles pweaseeee

thank yoy for this ask im Not normal about them um . Um . um . gonna just ramble. yapfest incoming

Kou and Gaming met when they were both 14 – a little bit after Gaming ran away, their first meeting was in the pharmacy as Gaming was being treated by Baizhu because he got injured while working (was younger and less experienced in combat back then), and Kou brought back some meds Baizhu asked for. They talked for a little bit, but didnt think much of it at first.

Sure, they both wanted to be friends, but they werent sure if that would work out. Gaming knew how loud and extroverted he was, and he could see Kou was more of a reserved type, barely talking at all. He was simply worried that he would scare Kou off. Kou, on the other hand, could see Gaming was liked, had a group of friends – and the half-adeptus simply didnt think someone like Gaming would want to be friends with someone like him – Kou was always anxious, scared to talk, ofter losing verbality in social situations.

But Gaming ended up at the pharmacy more and more, at first because of how reckless he was, sometimes for deliveries, but with time, he started showing up just for Kou – he didnt say it though, always conveniently "was nearby, so I figured id visit".

As they got closer and closer, they both realized that despite them being polar opposites, some parts of them were really similar.

(b4 next part starts, i hc gaming as autistic and trans ftm because i can..... plus it fits his story ngl look at rhe event!!!)

Complicated family dynamics, their struggles with being trans, them both being autistic and how that affects them, their sense of not belonging anywhere — are the things that connected them, to name a few. They understood each other better than anyone else, felt safer with each other than with anyone else — sometimes it felt like these two were speaking the same language, while the rest of the world talked in a language unfathomable to them. And as the years passed, and they got closer, it was on a Lantern Rite when they were 16, when they finally confessed to each other under the glowing lanterns in the sky – far away from everyone else, as Gaming knew how overwhelmed Kou got in such gigantic social events. It was after that, after their confession, that Kou promised him that when one day, Gaming finally gets to perform infront of everyone, being the center of the celebration, he will be cheering him on from right there, always being his biggest supporter.

And he kept that promise, watching his boyfriend of already 2 years, being the center of the celebration, blinking away the sting in his eyes, never having been so proud before.

They know each others struggles and always do the best to help – Kou always being Gamings no.1 supporter, even when Gaming felt like it was going nowhere. Gaming treating Kous scars like any other part of his body, and sometimes leaving a few kisses on them when Kou is having a really tough day.

Now, some more miscellaneous stuff. When Kou is free, he always comes with Gaming to just be with him while Gaming practices his Wushou Dance, dancing along while Man Chai jumps around him. He is his biggest supporter after all. Sitting on the sideline, Kou takes it as a great opportunity, and pulls out his favourite sketchbook. He cant be blamed, as Gaming's energetic and fluid motions make for great anatomy practice — and the sketchbook would be just that, if not for the numerous pages of random doodles of Gaming, of his face, his body, just him. Luckily, Kous reflexes allow him to hide the sketchbook the second Gaming finishes and turns to him — he would rather explode than let anyone near that sketchbook.

Kou has trouble sleeping through the night, so he often naps a few times throughout the day — in his room, on a tree, away from anyone. But when him and Gaming are together, Gaming often lets Kou nap on his lap or his shoulder. (gets paid back for it in kisses when Kou wakes up)

They both have sensory issues, but Kous are way more extreme — so when theyre out getting dim sum, Gaming always offers to pick out the parts that are inedible for him. (unless its something inedible for him too...)

Hey! I was wondering what the big purple diamond-shape sorta-Kou-eye-vibe stone in the most recent art is?? Is it an as-yet unrevealed lore thing or a stylistic thing or a previously-mentioned lore thing I missed somewhere?? Am very intrigued because it seems Important

ok i was gonna sleep but!!!!!! i wanna answer

when they created the pact, katusza created a gem pendant for each of them – katuszas looks like kous eye, and kous looks like katuszas face (since they dont really have eyes...visible ones)

for katusza, it symbolises them watching liyues cycle of life and death "through kous eyes" (because thanks to kou and the pact, katusza can actually leave snezhnaya and go to liyue), and for kou, it symbolises katusza watching over him all the time as they lend him their power and protect him if needed :3

heres the gem on kou, dont have a clearer drawing of it... kou full ref sheet coming uh. Hopefullt soon..

[going to answer the strawpage asks here too since i dont know who sends them😭]

so, kou always knew his mom was in the fatui, and to be frank — he didnt really care. he heard enough stories about how bad every single fatui member is, but he couldnt help but feel different when his mom would send her closest subordinates to pass gifts from her to him, even trying to spark up conversations (which didnt work, but that wasnt their fault)

izabela started working right under sandrone when kou was 9, so he doesnt remember the time that izabela worked for someone else — he always heard of sandrone from his mother. izabela often talked about her in her later letters (after kou turned 12, she started telling him more stuff about her life in general), so kou was used to hearing about her boss, "lady sandrone".

but he knew some things were changing, even if izabela continued to refer to her boss as only "lady sandrone" — the way she talked about her slowly changed, and kou could tell they had became closer, especially with the fact that izabela essentially became sandrones right hand (although, no one but these two actually know what izabelas job is..). izabela officially told him that they were together when he was 14, but theyve been dating basically in secret for over a year. despite being a bit nervous at first, because his mom is dating a harbinger, kou was just plain happy for his mom — at that point in life, he knew what happened to her, and he could see that she was truly happy with sandrone.

there was nervousness on izabelas and sandrones end of the stick too, of course. it would be different if izabelas kids were little, but kou was 14, and aniela was 21 — if they didnt like sandrone, they will show it.

ever since they started dating, kou and aniela treated sandrone like their mother — finally made official after izabela and sandrone got married when kou was 17 and aniela 24.

in conclusion: kou loves his mama AND his mom !! even if theyre crazy

but thankfully, that was not the case — kou and aniela both love sandrone, kou especially. their personalities just clicked, and now alongside his usual correspondence with izabela, kou has a long list of letters back and forth with sandrone, talking about every single topic under the sun, as well as some less known things about other harbingers (that sandrone tells him not to share).
