[tomaytow]

this blog may be inactive but at this day (04-11) last year (2022), i fell in love with the pretty man (the anemo archon barbatos) with his pretty voice (the bard venti)

[tomaytow]

i am so sorry for the inactivity but i have been falling out of interest with venti lately hshdhbdjd

i have a lot of venti stuff saved in my gdocs and venti brainrots that i shared with a friend. it saddens me that i cannot post it here because i don’t feel like doing it …

[tomaytow]

he is so beautiful

[tomaytow]

christmas date with venti and you’re both wandering in this one area (a field, a park?) and it’s filled with christmas lights. 🎄🌟

modern au. possibly a continuation of this post. a little suggestive.

you may or may not have taken a lot of photos of him beaming at the colorful and glowing decorations. you’re already planning on printing them as soon as you get home to put it on your wall, and also posting it on your social media for some flexing.

(one of your fav picture by far is when he grabbed you by the hand and pulled you to this one, blue green lantern that seriously reminded you of him)

and while you’re busy admiring his pictures in your camera, you miss venti’s fond gaze. unbeknownst to you, he’s simply basking into the moment and capturing this wonderful memory for him to reminisce later on.

if you do catch him in the act, though, you tease him for this (even though you’re a little embarrassed as well. whenever venti’s attention is on you, you always feel flustered.)

“you’re staring.”

venti’s gaze turns even fonder. “yes.” he looks like he wants to say something more, but refrains on it.

before you know it, he approaches you slowly. venti lifts your chin up using his thumb and index finger, and closes his eyes.

you feel those amazing sparks once more—as if you were back in that same spot when you realized that you had fallen in love with him—when he finally locks his lips with yours.

+ i don’t know how to become sentimental anymore but time passed—estimating 10 mins—and you both still haven’t let go of each other.

children cheer and sing in the distance, filling the chilly air with more christmas spirit. the night goes on and yet instead of you two making your way to the highlight of this event – you two are occupied being intimate with one another.

there are muffled moans from venti. he tightens his hold on your waist, and you wrap your arms around his neck to bring him closer.

he parts away from you—just a little—and you can still feel his breath mingling with yours.

his eyes are hazy, clouded with so much love and passion (and maybe even something else) and his cheeks are coated a scarlet red – like the color of his scarf that he’s wearing. he murmurs, “we better go, love.”

you blink slowly, “why…?”

he chuckles and leans in to give you another peck on the lips—it only lasts for five seconds. “we have to watch the lights show, remember? the one you so desperately wanted to see.”

your eyes widen. oh. right. the lights show. yes. you’ve paid tickets for it – they were incredibly expensive—you’ve waited for it despite the hassle and frustrations—and yet… “i…i don’t wanna.” you avert your gaze as you admit, “…m… wanna continue kissing you more. wanna kiss you here.”

venti gawks at you for a brief moment, before he breaks into a fit of giggles. it still sounds beautiful. “oh, windblume, you really just can’t get enough of me…”

you hide your face in his chest. you can feel it vibrate when he giggles again. well, it’s true. what’s he saying is true. you can’t deny it. you just really can’t get enough of him.

“alright… once we get home, or maybe after the lights show, you can kiss me more…” venti suggests, and cards his fingers through your hair gently. tenderly. “or maybe even better… ehe, if you want, maybe we can go to the farthest side of the venue and as they showcase the lights…”

he dips his head down so you can hear his whisper properly. “you can kiss me. or i can kiss you.”

+ + bonus: blushing at the thought when it’s venti who guides you all the way to the venue and you can’t stop thinking abt what you guys are going to do once the event starts…

after you’re both seated, your hands are still intertwined and you don’t know what expression venti is making. it causes your heart to beat erratically in your chest and despite the ac on full blast, you feel hot.

when the lights turn off, and the lights show begin, you grip venti’s hand. he allows you to grip it.

he inches a little closer.

“windblume,” your stomach drops and you feel all your hairs stand up when his lips touch your ear. “kiss me.”

when you two get too far though, it’s venti who’s the responsible one this time and boops your nose. he reminds you to watch the lights show. even though there’s a part of him that didn’t want you to, since he’s in the same situation – he wants more. but the lights show is important to you, too.

(ah, you silly windblume.)

but… you don’t regret making out with him though, not when he’s blushing the whole time during your ride home.

GOD I LOVE YOU VENTI GENSHIN IMPACT

[tomaytow]

i think i deserve a kiss from the anemo archon. yea. just me

[tomaytow]

so he feeds us the grapes??? archons he feeds us the grapes???? i’m so sorry for being late when it comes to the serenitea pots LOL

hhh imagine taking a bite of the grapes and you say, “oh yes, they do taste good.”

venti grins happily from your comment and takes one for himself, “they do!”

you assume that there’s nothing more left to do, so when you’re about to leave for other matters, a hand clasps around your wrist. you blink when you see venti still having that bright grin of his and a piece of grape close to your mouth. venti takes a step closer, “say aaah, love~”

you blush from the proximity, “but i already ate—“

yeahhh no. venti is having none of it and he’ll continue feeding you the grapes until you’re full. he loves you that much.

[tomaytow]

ok so i got like a very insane idea some days ago, i was just studying and out of nowhere i'm like "hold on.. How would venti react to a scholar from the academia slaping reader right infront of him" and honestly my mind was blown, like imagine reader just wants to visit the traveler to see how he/she is doing and they end up going in the academia to get books related to machines, khaenri'ah machines specifficaly since nobody studies about them nowadays and like they get a pass from cyno and get allowed to go in, sounds great so far right? not until the reader just looks at some books searching for what she wants and a scholar comes out of nowhere starting a scene and slaping reader right there infront of venti🖐️😭, i finished my thought of this scenerio there because i'm never good at guessing how venti would react to anything honestly💔

oh hello!! you’re the one who replied to my recent post earlier JDHDJ thank the archons you sent me an ask because i can’t reply since it’ll be my main tumblr acct replying to you - this venti blog is just a side acct after all!

ANYWAY i’m answering this around 3am (edit: it’s 10pm because i fell asleep and now i’m editing at this point) so i hope i’m making enough sense but here we go

man honestly it’s so hard to know how venti will react! in my concepts or fics, there’ll be moments where i’m like huh… is this venti at all? and i’m just. so clueless. because even tho i love him sm, i feel like i don’t really know HIM that well—which is very disappointing—even tho i’ve already ate the venti crumbs hoyo had to offer me

also, i just love how a scenario strikes when you’re doing something because that’s me sometimes.

in response to your ask! here’s what i think,

venti, of course, will get very angry at that person because it’s so unnecessary. there’s no need for violence at all! like you’re just there, minding their own business, snoopin’ around the shelves for your research materials and then this person just straight up slaps you on the face??? then proceeds on making a scene??? what the???

this will be even worse if you and venti are together. it’s sweet that he joins you for your book searching in the akademiya even though we know how much he prefers noisy and fun places instead of the tedious and boring ones, but hey. he’s venti. your best boyfriend ever. everything is fun for him when he’s with you.

though, i’m sure venti won’t resort to violence. (as much as i want him to go crazy stupid, i remember that his citizens—his children—have told the traveler that barbatos is a benevolent and gentle god. he won’t harm mortals — maybe. not sure. unless it’s necessary.)

he won’t stoop so low, and if he does attack the person back, well—venti won’t be any different from the assaulter!

there are some holes to your ask, though, because first of all, what is the reason for said assaulter abruptly slapping you on the face? did windblume do something? did you do something? so i’m not sure how this will end.

but what i do know for certain is that again, venti will be very angry. at first, he’ll be stunned, and then he’ll be fuming in the inside because the audacity of this lad / lass to lay a hand on my windblume’s pretty face! and yes, he’ll be showing his real distaste and anger. it’ll be damn evident on his face.

his anger will increase tenfold if he notices that you’re mortified from the events, he’ll step closer to you and perhaps hold your hand for comfort. people are watching and people are whispering. archons, this is humiliating.

venti will probably confront the assaulter, and man, remember this: the anemo archon is downright terrifying if he isn’t smiling. there will be words exchanged in a tense, uncomfy atmosphere—venti will ask the assaulter if there’s anything wrong, and he’ll ask demand the reason for the slap. if it’s not valid, venti’s glare will send shivers down to anyone’s spine. because how can such delicate face be so ominous? if it’s valid—ugh, forget about that.

the rule is: don’t just hurt anybody, and talk it out! violence is still unacceptable to venti!

afterward, i imagine that the assaulter will be taken away by the mahamata for a questioning. then venti will take you to a secluded place and console you. it’s what you deserve!

he’ll sit you down and ask if everything’s okay. if he sees you lowkey traumatized, he’ll instantly shower you with affection and leave kisses on your red cheek. he’ll whisper that it’s all over, and that there is nothing to worry about now that the assaulter is gone.

+ also, venti will prolly have a conversation about this with the lesser lord kusanali later. but for now, his main priority is staying by your side and bring solace to your startled, anxious self.

his poor windblume, who only wants to study… venti will stay by your side for a while, surely.

[tomaytow]

WHERE ARE THE VENTI SIMPS ENTHUSIASTS PLEASE TALK TO ME (SEND ME ASKS) I’D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT HIM PLEASE

[tomaytow]

he makes me so happy y’all

i love him so much. i wanna lay my head on his shoulder and tell him all my secrets

[tomaytow]

mhm i think it’s already common in fics how venti protects reader since he’s an archon and all but like i give you this vision:

reader who’s a warrior. reader who’s exceptional when it comes to fighting. reader who’s unstoppable when they’re in the battlefield. they’re knowledgeable in weapons, has experience on the front lines. truly, a knight worth praising for.

reader who has scars in their body, and yet is proud of them—because these scars are remnants or even memories of what they have gone through.

and… i’m so in love of the idea that reader is devoted in protecting venti. i don’t know if it’s the kdrama soul in me taking over but the concept of reader protecting the wind god from harm and sacrificing themself as an act of love for him just gets me all mushy and is just so 🥺💕

and then when they get reincarnated, they plans on doing it again, even if they’re no warrior anymore. even if they’re a simple, broke, and extremely sleep–deprived college student who only wants to eat their noodles and hotdog sandwich for dinner but wants to protect this one homeless self–proclaimed best singer in town.

and yet this singer will not allow it. not anymore. not when you can’t even protect yourself since you don’t have a blade in your hand, and an armor to shield you from attacks. not when you barely dodged from the thief’s gun and only distracted him by spilling your noodle’s hot soup in order to plummet him down the ground.

barbatos—no, venti… it’s time for him to protect you, whether you like it or not.

[tomaytow]

getting emotional at 1 am i will forever love the warrior windblume trope so imagine fading in and out of consciousness… imagine lifting your eyelids with a little bit of energy.

you can’t see clearly but you know this familiar and tender touch—you’re pressed close to someone’s chest. an arm is supporting your frail back and a hand is on your cheek.

your body is sore and numb. you can feel some open wounds and some uncomfortable gashes from your arms and legs. but nothing is ever more painful to feel something wet dripping down your face from above.

it’s not the rain.

but from your beloved who’s been trying to quieten their cries.

“venti,” you breathe, and attempt to reach out. there’s no use. you don’t have the strength this time. “…venti, i—“

venti’s fingers pinch your cheek. it’s not enough to hurt you. he can’t speak right now, not when he’s crying his heart out. but you understand what he’s trying to convey. he’s reprimanding you for being reckless again. for being careless again.

for being so inconsiderate again.

venti worries about you a lot.

and he wants you to be careful. to take care of yourself.

he wants you to think about yourself for once.

drip. drip.

“…i-i’m sorry,” and it’s all you can say, but you mean it. you mean it. “i’m sorry, venti…”

you wish you can see what he looks like right now.

but you feel so exhausted.

so you close your eyes when the fresh scent of cecilias and rain flood your nostrils. the hand that is pinching your cheek brushes your hair, and a soft kiss lingers on your forehead as venti dips his head down—don’t do this again.

venti’s still sobbing. he clutches you tighter.

don’t do this again.

[tomaytow]

🍃🌷.

[tomaytow]

imagine a coffee shop date with venti and he pulls out his polaroid. ofc, the cheeky young man takes aesthetic photos of you—be it taking a sip of your iced/hot caffeine or other drink, taking a bite of your chosen desert, or just smiling/laughing at him in general.

and you like his shots, you really really adore his shots. you badly want one, at least one film, so you can save some for yourself (so you can paste it on your cork board for memories) but venti’s so stingy. he shows it to you, and when you attempt to steal it from him, he immediately yanks his hand away so you won’t reach it.

you scowl at his tongue out.

“what must i do for you to give me at least one film, love?”

he beams, “glad you asked.” he hands you the polaroid, and you instantly realize what he wants you to do.

at the end of the date, you have a lot of films that consisted of venti in different angles (and funnier angles). but at least, you have one film of yourself…

in short, venti wants you to collect his pictures because he’s doing it with yours. (he didn’t even need to voice this out, because you’d still do it anyway, if you have your own polaroid—and you can empathize why he’s so stingy with the films as well.

“for my eyes only,” he winks, then kisses one film that has your face on it. he keeps his eyes on you as he watches you blush tremendously.)

+ one film consists of him kissing your cheek.

+ one film consists of him surprising you with a kiss.

+ another one consists of you guys holding hands (he loved this one so much because you were the one who took the picture despite it being blurry, but it felt perfect for him)

(in every photograph he has of you, there are always hearts, happy faces, sometimes stickers or even handwritten comments)

the date is there too, of course. he wants to cherish every special day (every day with you in it is special, who is he kidding?)

11/26

i will never let go of us.

and it’s a photo taken by a stranger, with him cupping your face and you stifling your giggles because of how smitten he looked.

you bet that venti has this film in his wallet.

possibly the continuation for this post

[tomaytow]

so no one’s going to tell me that the aranara dressed up like venti too??? that they have their own hat and bow tie????

THE ARANARA LOOKS SO HAPPY

[tomaytow]

the fact that i have the same thing going on as well…

HELP??

MY VENTI IS SUDDENLY UPSET AND I DONT KNOW WHY. I didn’t use the camera in the paimon settings to change expressions. Since I was only using the kamera on the corner. AND EVEN THEN I WAS USING DIFFERENT CHARACTERS BESIDES VENTI??

As a normal person, I would assume this was a glitch But as an avid reader of sagau and self aware fanfiction, I am scared for my life. :)

This happened twice, three day gap in between. I didn’t play genshin within those three days cuz I was busy. When I got into genshin, Venti is normal, but then sometimes his face turns upset and now I’m just worried I somehow upset a fictional character-
