genshin boys as romance drama tropes

diluc: hot ceo of a company and you're his secretary who's getting bossed around all the time and you hate his guts but oh nooooo you get drunk and sleep with him!

kaeya: the rebellious shady sibling of the hot ceo and he's actually just very misunderstood. he pulls you out of work to have make out sessions in the storage room.

razor: misunderstood feral delinquent who pets puppies whenever he comes across one and he actually has a really cute smile but y'all just haven't seen it. he comes to save you when some disgusting pervert tried hitting on you.

bennett: that one trope where the clumsy girl trips and falls on some guy and accidentally kisses him on the lips—except in this case, bennett is the clumsy one and you're the unfortunate(?) victim whose first kiss got stolen.

venti: that friend in college who always crashes at your apartment and treats it like his own home. then he actually moves in to live with you. a very typical roommates to lovers drama. with a lot of beer. and drunken confessions.

chongyun: you swear he hates you. he glares at you every time you see him, and he always turns away like nothing happened. sike! he actually likes you a damn lot, and he gets embarrassed when you catch him staring. he just has a resting bitch face, unfortunately.

xingqiu: the popular guy notices wallflower trope! he gets tired of acting like a perfect guy in front of everyone else, and his safe haven is the library. you're a sweet, shy bookworm and you bond by talking about books! he loves seeing you chatting excitedly about things you like. (he would def kiss you in public with a book covering your faces.)

zhongli: another hot ceo but this time you're poor and homeless so he offers you a job as a house caretaker in exchange for a room in his big ass mansion. but then you start to fall for him and- what? he has a fiancee abroad?? how come you didn't know that??? (rags to riches at its finest.)

childe: ENEMIES TO LOVERS FOR SURE. this mofo seems like he doesn't study at all but he tops the exams every single time. meanwhile, you're a very hardworking college student who studies 24/7 and you get second EVERY DAMN TIME. it's unfair. very unfair. he was out there partying on friday while you freaked over finals, how is he getting higher marks than you. it ends up as a one-sided rivalry and he wonders why you glare at him every time he waves hi at you. then one day at the library, he sees you struggling on a particular topic, and he offers to tutor you at his house. you think he's planning something bad but then you get to his house and- oh? he has younger siblings? and they're both cute??? and they're so fun to play with and they want to see you more????? and you get to see the nice brotherly side of him??? you start visiting his house regularly, BUT YOU SWEAR YOU VISIT FOR THE KIDS, NOT HIM, NO MA'AM- THAT LUNCH HE COOKED FOR YOU MIGHT BE THE TASTIEST THING YOU'VE EVER EATEN BUT YOU WON'T BE SWAYED- yeah ok you're making out on his couch now

xiao: the quiet kid in class everyone is scared of but all the girls are attracted to the 'mysterious' aspect to him. you don't really get the appeal until he offers to walk you home on a rainy day when you forget your umbrella, and buys you coffee when he notices you seem too sleepy in class, and then he brings you some medicine when you're sick and shares you his notes from the lectures you missed- ok FINE he's a lot nicer than he looks, but he's just a good friend, that doesn't mean you'll fall for him- ok shit he literally has the prettiest smile on earth AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT YOUR PERSONAL MISSION TO BRING A SMILE TO HIS FACE EVERYDAY-

albedo: that one smart guy in class you'd expect to have detailed notes but he refuses to lend them to anyone so no one really knows for sure. the reason? he actually has a crush on you and doodles your portrait in class on the same page with his notes whenever he feels bored and he doesn't want anyone to see them. one day, he conveniently drops his notebook in the hallway and you pick it up for him, but oh? what's this? is that a drawing of your... sleeping face?! you are beyond mortified and he freezes in place when he sees you with the notebook. no, you're not mortified ‘cause you're creeped out by the thought of him drawing you——you're only mortified because he stared at you while you unknowingly drooled on your desk. (you'd tell him you make a pretty damn horrible model and he should look for prettier people to draw, but he'd argue you're the prettiest person he knows.)

scaramouche: the cliche where everyone thinks he's a completely nice guy and you accidentally see him in his real nasty personality so he blackmails you into keeping his secret. but oh? what's this? you start liking him for who he really is?

kazuha: the ugly duckling + childhood friend trope. since you were neighbors as children, you were practically obligated to be his playmate, which you weren't very excited about. kazuha wasn't a “loser,” per se, but on the quieter side, and that obviously meant he didn't get along well with the other kids and had no friends to speak of. he was soft-spoken, but not necessarily shy; he only preferred to idle by himself rather than mingle. (you think he likes you plenty, though. enough to open up to you, at least.) he liked to read and write poetry, reciting the lines he came up with and anticipated for your compliments. he liked going outdoors, not to go to the local playground, but to admire the nature, and occasionally invited you to go for picnics. he always had a pair of headphones resting on his neck, ready for use whenever he wanted to block out noise (it was strange how he kept them away whenever he was with you though). alas, he never changed his ways even as you both grew up — he kept his hair long, bangs covering his face, and large glasses hid away his eyes. he was smart in class, speaking in eloquent words, yet he remained unpopular. one summer day, however, when he complained about the hot weather, you offered to tie up his hair and lend him your hairpins. “remove your glasses, too,” you advised, combing through his soft locks. the moment you pulled back his hair to pin it in place and revealed his face, the room became eerily silent. your classmates kept staring at him, begged him to leave the glasses off longer, and seemed particularly eager to talk to him, much more than usual when they normally ignored him. you couldn't understand all the fuss because, hey, you've been seeing that face everyday for a decade already? kazuha didn't care about receiving the shower of attention either. “you're not throwing away all the love letters you get, are you...?” you observed the collection of envelopes in his bag, impressed at the large amount. kazuha shrugged, “not to that point, no. i try to read all of them but i don't reply.” “that's a waste... you could get a lover easily...” you commented, sifting through the pieces of paper and recognizing the names penned on them. “that would be meaningless,” he shook his head. “i already like someone, anyway.” he didn't understand how you could think that when it's always been you, you, you.

GENSHIN CHARACTERS who...

DILUC who rises up in dawn, certainly far earlier than you. brushing lips against the skin of your temple, letting his mouth linger for a few seconds as he closes his eyes and cherishes the moment, praying to the anemo archon to keep you safe no matter what. carefully supporting your body that leaned on his side with his right arm.

DILUC who would willingly shed his life and die for mondstat without a sign of hesitation but lives for you. DILUC who would pause amidst a pillar while scrutinizing a lone abyss mage, unconsciously scouring the field for a possible exit if things possibly go wrong.

KAEYA who can't keep his hands to himself, be it in a meeting for all the favonious captains or even more public activities. he instead diverges his growing boredom to yourself, gladly letting his hands roam around, sometimes in innocent touches on the skin such as fiddling on the hem of your clothing or not so innocent places...

KAEYA who can't help but let his eyes wander over to you as he most probably disregards another of his fellow captains. KAEYA who stares at you with a smile full of mysterious and a glint just as enigmatic as him shining in his eyes and panics for a split second, swiftly twitching his mouth up in a smirk when you turn your head to his direction.

TARTAGLIA who spoils you rotten with his never-ending wealth that he most definitely doesn't spend on himself alone, he's got to spend it otherwise unless it'll go to waste, right? TARTAGLIA who's eyes grow from cold to instantly warm, his eyes soften while his posture relaxes as he blends into the shadows and silently watches as you interact with his siblings.

TARTAGLIA who's shoulders slouches down in guilt but is brimming with warmth and appreciation when he finds you passed out in the couch, the lousy blanket barely covering your body, exposing it to the cold. he sighs and shakes his head but hoists you up in his arms, brings you close before trudging over to the bedroom with the promise if making it up to you swirling in his mind.

ZHONGLI who unknowingly peers at your lips when in a random conversation with you, his eyes constantly switches over from your eyes and to your mouth over and over again so it's hard to not notice. he apologizes softly, frankly embarrassed at being caught and shyly avoids your eyes.

ZHONGLI would sit on a comfortable chair with your head on his chest as he speaks as though he's experienced the many notable events from past decades and millennia. he wouldn't even notice that you already drifted off with his relaxing voice that is until he looks down after he's finished.

VENTI who strums his lyre and hums a song along with the melody upon the dark starry sky. quietly gazing at you with fond eyes when the song reaches the part where he mentions something about 'forever and love', then laughing softly when he spots you already fast asleep.

VENTI who loves to mess with you with sending bursts of wind, gentle to yourself but fierce to bring an object clutched into your arms high up into the air, letting it spin around violently for a few seconds before letting the wind lead it back to your annoyed self.

XIAO watches from the balcony of the inn, glancing down and observing you from above all while you happily clutch a bag of snacks, waving at the patrons before climbing up the stairs, no doubt wanting to share with him once more. how foolish, he thinks but if so then he's stupid one.

XIAO who doubts that you'll call out his name, more or less mutter it. so why does he await your voice? XIAO who hates to see you hurt, sharply scolding you for being so 'clumsy and stupid' as he leans down and inspects you for any more fatal injuries.

ALBEDO who's attention diverts to you when he picks up a trace of your voice calling out to him. ALBEDO who most likely reminds himself that a creature such as him wasn't born with the same set of feelings, organs, and emotions such as innate beings such as humans so why does he feel the strange fluttering in his chest?

ALBEDO who knows just how to charm you and is aware that you convey the same attraction and love he holds towards you. ALBEDO who suddenly pauses when in the middle of an activity, only to think about memorable moments he knows of you, his lips forming to a graceful and tender smile.

SCARAMOUCHE who criticizes you for bare minimum and is unable to hold back from bursting out a string of insults that pops in his mind in an attempt to deny that him, scaramouche, the balladeer is totally not in love! the anger in him only increases further when he sees your shocked face, not to you but to him. he screams internally, you idiot.. you hurt them! wait I don't care about their feelings--damn it, damn you for making me feel this way you witch!!..

SCARAMOUCHE who reluctantly sits beside you without as much as even uttering a word. just a silent, meaningful action, the two of you sit in a comfortable silence. basking the others presence while scaramouche holds a conflicting storm of unkept and chaotic feelings inside of him.

KAZUHA who greets you with a coy smile, pressing a kiss to the back of your palm while beidou holds back a bark of "how smooth, lover boy!". KAZUHA who's the type to brood and swiftly intervene in a conversation when he catches a crew member getting a little too close, can you blame him? a jewel such as you is something he wants to keep.

KAZUHA who just accepts his fate with open arms when you slide yourself to his side. KAZUHA who holds you close as you both watch the sun rise as the water gently rocks the ship back and forth along with you.

THOMA who never forgets to say "I love you" when going somewhere, even if he's forced by ayato to come in at komore teahouse while you wave him goodbye from the outside, sipping on your tea as he gets dragged in by the head of the yashiro commission.

THOMA who voices his want to finally be free from being cooped up in the komore teahouse for 'so long' and begs you to "please buy something for him because he misses the taste of inazuman street food". brightening up and peppering you in kisses when you agree.

Potatdaha

⌗ domestic moments with genshin boys and your children

ft. diluc, kaeya, childe, zhongli, xiao, venti, albedo, scaramouche, aether, kazuha, la signora

𝐃𝐈𝐋𝐔𝐂 ⋮ that time when diluc entered the kitchen where he found you cooking as per usual. The only difference is your son standing beside you, adorning a hat of a chef and an pink apron that matched yours. Courtesy of you, of course! Ever since you and him got married, you'd practically taken over the kitchen and food. Not that you're complaining though, the utensils that the kitchen had would make any housewife/mothers leave their husband in an instance. Diluc released an airy chuckle, he removed the coat and draped it on a chair before rolling up his sleeves with the intent to help you.

"What're you doing? Baking..? Hm... Do you need any assistance?" Diluc nods, stepping closer before being stopped by his son

"No. Stop, you've already had enough time with mommy." Your son's features morphed into a scowl, he pulls you away from his father. The latter only smiling in amusement

𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐘𝐀 ⋮ he remembers a particular day off that he chose to spend with his family, kaeya never forgets to babble and brag about it when he's drunk. Diluc being his prime target to this. That day was spent with both of your daughter sitting on the couch with blankets across your bodies waiting for kaeya to come home, however he came home later than expected. Your daughter was tired of waiting for her father so she opted to occupy the space in your lap, eventually drifting off into a deep slumber, you also falling asleep shortly. Kaeya stands in the doorway with a small genuine smile, it was nice to have someone waiting for him. He chuckles strutting into the living room and slipping on the other side ot your daughter, you being fast asleep on the right, your daughter snoring away in the middle and him on the right.

"Daddy, we were waiting for you!" your daughter frowned lightly, after awaking with her father seated on her left.

"How sweet! I noticed, but you looked so adorable. I didn't have the heart to wake you." Kaeya chuckled, pressing a kiss in your daughters temple and one in your cheek.

𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐄 ⋮ ever since that time where he found you and the twins happily singing a song while dancing around, he'd never forgotten about it. That moment was definitely going in his 'top ten moments where I wanted to give my family the world'. Childe stood with his hands on his hips, a awestruck grin displaying on his face. He stared at the scene playing before him. Oh my god, he swore he'd never had this feeling to bury himself in a whole and burst into a fit of squeals and giggles. His family was so precious! Here you are, chuckling and twirling the twins around. Lyrics of their favorite songs spewing out of their mouhtd and your own. The sound of another voice joining in the little trio gathered your attention, the twins giggled in excitement and pulled their father in.

"TELL ME WHY!" Childe grinned cheerily, recognizing the song and joining along.

"AINT NOTHING BUT A HEARTACHE!!" The twins wore an equally similar grin, letting themselves sing their hearts away. The house was filled with singing voices that day.

𝐙𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈 ⋮ to him, there isn't a particular moment that he hasn't cherished in his heart already. Every passing second that he spends with his son is deeply appreciated by him. However, he remembers the particular time when he found you fast asleep with your son cuddled up to your side after reading a bedtime story. It seems like his voice was enough to lull you to sleep, could you bpame yourself though? He had such a soothing voice. Zhongli glances up from the book, chuckling softy when he's met with the sleeping faces of his beloved wife and child. The moment was so endearing, zhongli couldn't help but stare at your faces with a soft expression. It continued like that for a few minutes before he contemplated on joining both of you, however there isn't much space left so he had to settle for the chair.

"I really liked your story, papa. I think mama did too! Could you tell us more? Please..!" Your son pleaded, eyes shining with anticipation, lips pulled into a pout.

"Of course, dearest." Zhongli smiled, how could he say no to such an adorable expression?

𝐗𝐈𝐀𝐎 ⋮ he admits that there's some kind of wall preventing him from truly bonding with his daughter. He feels awkward therefore it enables him to get closer with her, it pains him to admit it though. That day when she approached her with her hands hidden behind her back, it suprised him. He was a bit nervous, grip on his crossed arms tightening ever so slightly. To his surprise, she peeked up at him before letting a bouquet of qingxin flowers enter his vision, his eyes widened. You hid your smile behind your hand, giggling at the expression present on his face. It isn't a common occurrence for his stoic expression to fall!

"Uhm... Here! I heard from mom that you liked qingxin flowers.." Your daughter nervously fiddled with the petals of the white flower. Eyes shimmering with the longing of her fathers warmth, she meekly handed the bouquet to him.

"..thank you.." Xiao smiled lightly, leaning down to give her a small nervous pat on the head.

𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈 ⋮ he no doubt has absolute control over the wind. And so venti uses this to his advantage, the occurrence of venti throwing you up along with his dear son is common. He does this to cheer his son up if he's feeling particularly blue. However he sometimes does this randomly just to get a feel of how free this family feels like, he lives for it. Venti giggled watching his son's eyes grow wide, his child was softly flowing in the air, as if the wind carried him as he went. You sent him a knowing look. Venti grins mischievously when his son yelled at him in wonder.

"IM FLOATING! :D" your son yelled with an undertone of excitement, his lips were pulled into a carefree grin that matched his fathers.

"hehe! yes you are! :D" venti smiled, letting himself flow in the direction of his child.

𝐀𝐋𝐁𝐄𝐃𝐎 ⋮ remembers the time where his child doodled on his sketchbook while he was tending to an experiment. It was silly but more adorable, it gave him a sense of a domestic moment. Albedo's eyebrows raised as he stared into the eyes of his Kin before it flickered to the small drawing of himself in his sketchbook. His child looked away innocently, pretending as if they didn't do it. His lips pulled into a small smile, gesturing towards the notebook. He urged his child to continue the cute little drawing.

"I didn't do it.." Your child pouted, barely hiding the mischievous glint in their eyes.

"Hmm... If you say so.." Albedo shrugged, clearly not believing them, this trait of theirs remind him of you.

𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐂𝐇𝐄 ⋮ he doesn't know if he should feel happy or angry when his daughter took his that and put in on her self, he's more confused than those honestly. How is he supposed to act?! His indigo eyes spared you a glance of confusion while you merely stared in amusement, also quite curious as to what his actions were gonna be. Scaramouche stared at the silhouette of his daughter, she actually looked adorable. But the hat is kinda big for her. Placing his hands on his hips, scaramouche looked down on his daughter. Gently fixing the hat atop her hair. Unknownst to the withering glare that he sent to the poor recruit that unfortunately stumbled onto the scene.

"It doesn't fit you, I can arrange a few things so you can get a smaller one that fits you." Scaramouche spoke slowly, clearing his throat rather awkwardly

":o OKAY!" your daughter happily obliged.

𝐀𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 ⋮ remembers the way whereas both you and his daughter applied several flowers in his hair. This reminded him of the days when lumine would do the same, this only fueled his desire to find his sister more. So she can finally meet the amazing family he'd created. Aether pauses, feeling a slight tug on the braid of his hair, he glances back. Only to see his daughter carefully placing a Cecilia on his strands, while you. Supplied her with more flowers, a sense of nostalgia washed over Aether, how long had it been since he'd last done this with his beloved sister? He doesn't know. Perhaps a few years had passed already. He wishes nothing but for lumine to join.

"..what are you doing..?" Aether leaned back to give his daughter more access to his hair, wearing a greatly bemused smile.

"I'm putting flowers in your hair, duh." The girl sassily responded, to which aether chuckled. Ah... She was just like lumine.

𝐊𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐇𝐀 ⋮ after the first time he played not-so-pretend-pirates with your child for the first time, it quickly settled into a regular occurrence. Much to the amusement of the crew, he seemingly genuinely enjoys playing pretend pirates with his crew. He doesn't know if it's pretend though, he is a pirate but he isn't..? Kazuha bores a carefree expression. Smiling when his child orders him around to 'turn the ship around due to enemy attacks AKA bad pirates'. He happily obliges, even going as far as standing to the actual wheel. He doesn't really turn the ship around though, just pretends to. You and beidoi watch, clearly amused by the ordeal.

"dad! quickkk! retreatt!" your child, urged.

"yes captain." Kazuha laughed. The carefree part of his sould peeking through, he looks so happy! How adorable!

𝐋𝐀 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐀 ⋮ on her free days, Signora and you practically fall into a routine whereas your daughter would assist the fair lady with her makeup. Sometimes, she'd even let the girl apply the foundation or lipstick. Of course, Signora makes it look good so that your daughter wouldn't feel too upset. In these times, she let's herself get a sense of happiness. A soft side that she didn't even know she possessed taking over her harsh one. Signora chuckles lowly, the sound was so elegant just like her whole being. Your daughter sat on her lap, carefully applying a red shade of lipstick in her mothers lips. The fair lady sends you a smirk that screamed 'I was right, I am the favorite parent'. Eliciting a roll of your eyes and a pout.

"There! Mommy, you look so pretty!" Your daughter gushed happily, fixing a loose strand of signora's hair.

"Thank you, darling." The fair lady let a genuine smile play on her lips.

when I did this without internet and now I can post this only when I get my internet back 😭

𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐍 𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐓

“It’s embarrassing now that someone’s mentioned it…”

I love the way you draw their faces, you make them seems so alive and happy. But i wonder how you draw their bodys to be right and no award with sides and lenghts? Besides, you're amazing.

Daww thank you so much!! Happy faces are my absolute faves to draw!

Uhhh, short answer is I don’t 😂😂 I’m not sure if I’m the best person to ask about this lolol--- I answered a similar ask over here about how I approach anatomy, but it’s essentially just me making it up as I go. Often times I notice a bunch of things wrong with the body proportions immediately after posting stuff!

My pro-tip is that people usually let you get away with more stuff if your gesture’s strong enough to carry the drawing. I fudge a lot of things in favour of communicating movement:

All that is to say, I also need more practice! In the meantime, here’s an ask from earlier about drawing poses from photo ref, and here’s another one talking more about gesture and interpreting ref in your own way! Hope this helps!
