Curate, connect, and discover
oh hello my time has come !! here have some random thoughts on the mondstadt crew (im not a writer in the slightest so these are probably ooc but shhhhh. canon is fake)
amber and kaeya are both bi & will occasionally exchange notes on who they think is cute -- like, sitting outside while they're eating at good hunter and people-watching, pointing out the more attractive citizens in the plaza. amber's equally attracted to all genders, but kaeya leans towards men/masc ppl, so they often bond over cute guys (and kaeya occasionally gently/affectionately bullying amber for her taste in men lmao). one time she got stood up on a date and kaeya saw her walking home while he was on patrol & tried to cheer her up. at one point he said something to the effect of "girl you are literally crying over a guy who is cis. pick your head up queen, your bunny ears are falling." (do i think he said those exact words? no. would it be funny if he did? yes) and she snort-laughed through the sniffles. as she should, bad bitches have goofy laughs
on that note i headcanon kaeya as a trans man !! the titty window came about post-top-surgery bc nobody pays that much money just to keep their chest in a shirt lmao (kaeya doesn’t, at least). i think he's one of those people who's known his identity from a young age, like, even before he was adopted. since jean is so busy, i like to imagine he's one of the people who helps organize & pull the strings for mondstadt's yearly pride celebrations - which is quite possibly the most extravagant in teyvat, given it's the city of freedom & the whole community has very accepting/chill energy.
lisa is a trans woman and kaeya is a trans man and if someone ever says something rude or misgenders one of them, the other will be a sneaky little shit and stir up trouble for the offending party. transmasc & transfemme solidarity, we love to see it ! lisa is another person kaeya will chill with outside good hunter, comparing notes on who's attractive as they people watch (i hc lisa as pan with no preference, but she'll joke abt only dating women). they'll also talk about whose genders they want to steal lol. they're the type of friends who flirt with eachother platonically & have probably hooked up too ngl. just besties being besties yknow
i like to think of diluc as a demiboy (he/they), & think he wouldn't really put a label on his sexuality. for the longest time he ignored the part of him questioning those things bc he doesn't have time for that!! he runs the whole wine industry, he's too busy for an identity crisis dammit!! he acknowledged his gay thoughts(tm) at one point, said "that's a problem for another day," and shoved them in a box in the corner & promptly forgot about them for several years. mans literally procrastinated on figuring out his gender & sexuality
also about diluc: since in-game, characters can be damaged by their own fire once it's lit something else (see: me burning to death in the swath of destruction that follows xiangling's ult in open grass), diluc has lots of heavy burn scars on his hands & arms. he'd never judge someone else for their scars, but he's insecure about his, which is why he always wears gloves & long sleeves. speaking of, he's bad at taking his own advice. "what are you doing up so late? it's bad for your health to be awake at this hour; go to bed," he says, forcibly tucking you in, before promptly going back out to attend to his darknight duties for another 2 hours. mr ragnvindr please get some sleep
I’m off to bed. But, I would love to hear about your guys’ genshin headcanons for whatever characters. They can be any kind from sexuality headcanons to misc relationship ones it doesn’t even have to be romantic. I just wanna know!!
I would like to hold all genshin characters softly in my hands and i wanna know how you see them too
I’ll start!! One of my headcanons for Beidou is that she takes many a lover, and tends not to settle down anywhere considering she’s constantly sailing about. She has many connections to various men and women across the world because she enjoys the comfort of sharing a bed
Also! I see Zhongli as a paternal figure to a lot of people. including me. And it’s rare for him to take a lover, but when he does he loves in a very ride or die kind of way. Zhongli is in it for the long run when it comes to love
