Something about some of the rough-looking men of Hoyoverse… something2 hmmmm… ^_^
Manato, Lighter, Varka, Mydei
Manato using his body to shield you when needed as you are both fighting against ethereals. He’s always there to protect you and make sure he’s got your back covered. He always ends up surprising you with his insane strength that what should seem ‘almost impossible to deal with’ to you is something he is capable of managing. His body is no joke! He’s truly built that way for a reason.
He’s such a gentleman despite that though, he wants to help in any way he can possible! Need him to lift your groceries? He’s got you! Feel like someone’s acting suspicious? Don’t worry, he’s following right behind you like a bodyguard. Hasn’t he always been such a great help to you? You should totally reward him with many kisses! You’ll probably notice his tail going crazy behind him, but it’s just a clear sign that he truly loves you!
Lighter showing off a little more with what he can do if ever he’s fighting in the ring when you’re in the crowd. He’s there to give it his all to impress you and make you feel the pride of being his beloved. Like, yes, The Champion of the Sons of Calydon is your smitten boyfriend — yup! Whenever he’s done, he’s confident that you’ll be able to patch him up; he prefers the feel of your hands on his skin in general. Who is he to turn down a chance of physical contact?
He makes sure that there will always be time for you two to make more fond memories together. Even when he’s busy, he’ll always think of ways so you’ll both be able to spend time with each other that you’d never feel neglected! He does like taking you on rides and actual dates, but he finds a comfort joy in doing little things together… That stuff gives him many things to look forward to; you give him the strength to wake up and enjoy things that would be mundane tasks.
Varka making it look like lightwork with the two claymores he uses in battle. Those are the same swords he uses to protect others and you. He’ll manage to guarantee your safety, even while knowing how capable you are. And when he does get the chance to play as your knight in shining armor, he likes to get a little bit close to say a flirtatious line or two in hopes of keeping you on your toes for later before heading back to fight.
He likes to be loud about you — he doesn’t have any shame at all! He boasts about how great you are and would fight for your name in silly debates like ‘who has the best smile in Mondstadt,’ but ends up trying to fight for you having the best smile in all of Teyvat. Everyone has to know that he loves you, and maybe he’d bring a megaphone to scream about it on Celestia for all to hear.
Mydei and his duality… He’s truly a force to be reckoned with — given that he fought tirelessly as a child and trained to be as strong as he is today. He ripped off Nikador’s head in his trial with his bare hands and is the best frontline for Amphoreus, y’know? He can definitely protect you, and his immortality helps that even if he’d go down, he can rise again to keep protecting you (for the most part). His combat capabilities aren’t something to be questioned.
Even when he’s not fighting out there, he still wants to do or make things for you. He’d call you over to eat something he cooked or baked without you asking for it — all made with love! If you want to relax by the baths, he’d offer to make you his pomegranate juice so you could enjoy your experience more. Shows a lot of his love through actions — always making sure you to take care of you whenever you’re worn out and are as comfortable as you’ll ever be!
was gonna write for Wriothesley and Gallagher but i don’t know them as well compared to the others. booooo…
anyways, saw a tiktok with all of them after not going on the app for so long, saved it, then hopped off with the intention of not going on it for the next few months like a cycle. few tiktoks a year. enjoy~!
