Diluc x Reader Blog

Diluc simp, somtimes Kaeya simp. I'm still practicing so please be gentle :'D

[cinnamol]

Hi! Welcome to a Diluc Blog!

Hi hi :D I'm a diluc simp and have spent an amount of time looking at his character and trying to write him. I'm very excited to talk about him, so if you have any requests or any ideas you want to talk about, please ask!

[lunar-muse]

Hai! So this is actually my first time ever sending uhm…requests? whatever this is called on tumblr. #notsoexperienced. But I really really enjoy reading your hc’s of Kaeya and the way you interpret him cause its just chefs kiss.

I was wondering if i could request hc’s with Kaeya in a relationship with someone who has ADHD? I’ve been thinking about it for months and can’t really fully comprehend how it’d be like so i thought maybe i could get some insight from someone who knows his character very well!

Love your work!! 🥹❤️

Hellooo and thanks for your ask!

I tried to answer the best I could using the common traits associated with ADHD but since it exists on a spectrum I can’t guarantee that I’ve perfectly depicted it here, but I still hope this is close and you like it!

Kaeya x Reader with ADHD

I think there will be many moments where Kaeya will be amused with you, particularly the way you can swing between inattention and hyper-focus by your interests. Once you both spend enough time together, he can tell when you’re beginning to drift away mid-conversation. He understands that, it’s not like he can stand the droning pleasantries of dignitaries or the constant spill of common complaints either. But that doesn’t mean he won’t tease you with a discrete nudge.

If you’re a knight, paperwork is a shared hurdle. If not then whatever it is you’re procrastinating on or have been glumly staring at for the last four hours, he’ll try to support. By that I mean support, you’re not getting Kaeya to do your work for you unless it’s serious. He jokes about slacking but he himself doesn’t do it unless he knows he can get away with it, so if it’s something important he will police you into getting it done… and sometimes he might be mean about it </3. If it’s something that can wait he’ll happily distract you with pleasant conversation over wine or a drink of your choice. Or maybe he’ll take you on a walk, share some gossip and whatnot.

If you’re fidgety, he’ll get you things to fiddle with. I’m unsure if fidget toys exist in the Genshin universe, but he’ll get you whatever’s close if it helps with the discomfort of stillness. Even if yours is manageable he still likes the feeling of providing you with things that makes life a bit easier.

He loves your yapping. Genuinely. He’s so used to the performance of official business or conversations with heavy intent that he’s grown to appreciate the more honest talks; and you spilling all your brain soup is very endearing, especially when he’s too tired to chat but hates the silence of his apartment.

But he can’t always pay attention. Kaeya is a Captain at the end of the day and he has his own troubles— personal and professional. So you might catch him nodding along and all but he might be somewhere else entirely in his mind. He’ll smile apologetically when you catch him, he might even share some of his troubles; albeit only the ones he deems are shareable.

Sometimes Kaeya needs silence. He doesn’t need to ask for it aloud, you can tell by his dead eye and the firm frown of his lips. Not for you, but for the Archons for throwing all the troubles on their list in one day. He has a funny way of talking without saying a word, but if you still don’t catch it he’ll tell you. Not unkindly, but without waxing the poetics he usually does.

He catches you when you interrupt him, but in a more fondly exasperated kind of way. He’ll raise his brows but he’ll hear you out, calmly repeating his point after. He has exceptional patience, it’s why he’s never failed a mission after the one. If you interrupt someone else and they take offense, he’ll placate them for you but he does remind you to be careful.

He loves your spontaneity. Kaeya is an adventurous soul and he’ll happily go along with any sudden plans of yours, even if he knows he should probably think them through. But he’s a man of whimsy himself— after all, didn’t he end up in Dawn Winery on multiple “short walks”? Besides, he gets bored with the monotony of work often so you tugging him along is the highlight of many days.

That being said… if your idea is outright dangerous he will pull you back before you run off, suggesting something that — if not as adventurous — is stimulating. If your ideas aren’t dragging him across Mondstadt but instead diving into more quiet interests, he will indulge you. He’s just happy to be there with you when he can.

Speaking of indulgence, he asks you many questions about your special interests, even if it’s not something he’ll get into himself. Somehow he’ll find a way to correlate it to wine, mark my words. But really, he likes learning so he’ll file it out as random knowledge that may be useful someday.

He’ll also nudge you back in line when your words begin to stray. When you had something definite to say but get sidelined in another conversation altogether. It takes him a while to catch it, but when he does, he reminds you about your first point so you can finish what you wanted to say.

He’ll make space for you in his life and discourages any thoughts of you being “too much” for him. He frequently reminds you how much more interesting you are than the common rabble. He means it. He’d pick half a day’s talk with you over countless tavern visits any day… or better yet, half a day’s talk with you at the tavern! He’s a simple fellow, he thinks, all he needs is his lover and his wine and the world could go to ashes for all he cares. Wait, no, please don’t report him for saying that—

A/N: I hope you like this Anon, and I’m glad you like my interpretation of him! I’m curious to know what you enjoy about it specifically, but more importantly thank you for the ask!

𝖉𝖎𝖑𝖚𝖈 - 𝖓𝖘𝖋𝖙 𝖆𝖑𝖕𝖍𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖙 𝖕𝖙. 𝖔𝖓𝖊

I use these to get a little writing practice when I'm running on empty. Added them to queue because I can't leave you guys in a smut drought whilst I'm off.

This… this is part one. For one character. I'm not saying anything else…

Contains letters A through to F. Enjoy at your own risk, outlined below.

TW: sexual content, having a man care about you, masturbation, Diluc x afab/amab reader (mentions of such although amab is a little more inconsistent), Diluc presumed to be top & in control.

Dividers by @saradika-graphics.

Aftercare

Likes to snuggle with you right after. Skin-to-skin, eye contact

I think he gets shy right after sex, because he sees it as something vulnerable. It’s a chance to get to show you all the things he struggles to say, like “I love you”. If you break the ice and whisper to him “you did so well” or (again) “I love you”, he shudders and buries his face in the crook between your neck and shoulder to hide his red face

He doesn’t talk after sex. He’s high off the oxytocin and kind of sleepy, but he likes to cuddle up with you. He also can’t hide the soft look on his face when he gazes at you. You could be grumbling, or knocked out, or chatting to him, and he’ll stare at you with this awfully fond look on his face that makes your heart (and maybe something else…) clench.

Very acts-of-service! Wipes you down with a warm, wet towel (thoughtful king), runs you a bath and will even make snacks. Will also massage you down if you’ve cramped up, or are just generally feeling achy

He insists on changing the sheets himself every single time. He will not let you do it, period

Is also weirdly permissive after sex (not that he isn't permissive AT ALL, but he's so much more agreeable when he's all loved up >.<) Ask him to do anything he wouldn't usually do, and the answer is a nod. He will find himself going to a trip on Fontaine with you, bags all packed, thinking “when the fuck did I agree to this…?” That's right, when he was being all dopey after sex!

Absolutely freaks out if there are any visible hickeys on either of you that clothes can't cover, so he chooses to be proactive about it and keep a cold compress on him. At all times. He's kind of a hardass about it too…

Body part (favourite body part)

On you:

Your stomach. He likes how soft the skin is, and he likes putting his head there when he wants to take a nap. It feels comfortable and safe (plus he loves to cum on your lower stomach, right between your hips)

Your thighs. The way they wrap around him when you’re into it drives him crazy, and makes him want to fuck you harder. Wear something short to bed, or one of his shirts and knee-high socks - he’ll start wondering if he’s going insane

Your face. He likes to watch as you cum, and he does check-ins to see your expression to gauge if you’re enjoying what he’s doing to you. Watching you orgasm is his undoing every single time. In the list of cute expressions you make in the back of his mind, your O-face is one of the top ones

On himself:

He likes his arm muscles. He knows he’s put a lot of work into his physique, swinging that big claymore/club around, and it reminds him of what he can provide for you. He wants to work hard to keep you safe

In a similar vein, he secretly likes his abs and back muscles

I think deep down he has a bit of an inferiority complex, so make sure to encourage him lots. One of the few men who could actually benefit from having his ego fed

Cum

Thick and white. It sometimes comes out in globs because when he’s with a long-term partner he won’t masturbate as often

It tastes bitter, slightly salty, but it’s not unpleasant

He tastes quite musky as well in a way that’s unique to him

He cums a lot because he refrains from jacking it as much as possible. If you let him cum inside, you’re going to be dripping for a few days

Likes to cum on your lower stomach, if not inside you. It’s like marking out his spot, in a way that drives him crazy. He likes the intimacy of wiping it off you too

Dirty secret

He doesn’t like the way alcohol feels in his mouth, but he thinks you could change that

When he’s alone, or really pussy/cock-drunk, he thinks about pouring Dawn Winery’s finest all over you, and drinking it out of the soft divots on your body

The biggest turn-on for him is thinking about if your natural taste, or the warmth of your skin, has any impact on the taste of the wine - hell, this might be the only way he drinks it

Has jerked off to the thought with Severe Guilt. Can’t look you in the eye for a good three days after. If you’re wondering why he’s being cold to you out of the blue… congrats, you have your answer

Experience

Not a lot!

Since… well, the Incident after he just turned eighteen, he always regarded relationships with other people as a frivolity he couldn’t entertain. He doesn’t like getting too close, plus he always secretly felt that it was more of a Kaeya thing to be good at flirting, charm and seduction. He’d always left those skills to him, without trying to improve them himself

Especially after he inherited Dawn Winery and became a vigilante, his brain has been tuned to the Fatui, the Abyss Order and business, with no room for distractions

I don’t think he’s entirely clueless. Being a single wine tycoon (and a hot bartender on occasion) he’s very much an eligible bachelor. He’s had friends set him up on blind dates that didn’t turn out well, and more than his fair share of hammered patrons trying to make a pass at him, which he firmly refuses. Maybe he’s had sex once or twice in a relationship that’s lasted a few months - I don’t see him as a hook-up kinda guy. He likes having a nice, semi-long period of courting where he gets to know the person, and from that point anything physical can be introduced gradually with plenty of discussion prior

I don’t think any experience he does have, has actually worked out for him long-term. He’s in his head far too much to sustain one, which frustrates a lot of potential partners… but he might be willing to let you in

Favourite position

Diluc is such a missionary man. Look him in his eyes and tell me there is anything going on in that dumb brain of his except soft vanilla missionary sex with lots of kissing. I dare you.

What can I say, he’s an eye contact guy. He loves watching you sob for him

Cowgirl is a close second. Likes the way it allows you to take charge, whilst also giving him a great view of you pleasuring yourself. The position allows him a lot of access, too - he can kiss you (spot a theme?), run a warm, calloused thumb over your nipple as you arch for him… so many ideas

He likes sleepy spooning sex! The only thing that irks him a little is how he can’t watch your face contort for him. Same with positions with you on your front - he’ll do them rarely, but he much prefers the top two

[D.] MELTING

5/24/2026 ; what he really wants is to press his face on your neck. 𖥻 ׁ ׅ character/s : diluc x gn! reader 𖥻 ׁ ׅ genre ; fluff, ◞ ◞ MASTERLIST

Soft light, the smell of grape juice, a voice retelling their day, the dip of the couch when you lean back, the warmth from the fireplace— that's what Diluc Ragnvindr's senses caught.

The flames from the fireplace in the Dawn Winery illuminated on your face as you talked, a glass of grape juice that he prepared especially for you was in your hand.

His eyes stared at you while your lips moved and occasionally let out a small smile when your eyes would lock in a gaze with his, both of your bodies close enough that your knees almost touched.

Diluc wanted it to but he didn't dare.

Because he is careful with affection,

That is simply his nature, to restrain affection because he didn't want to make you feel overwhelmed.

Even when he doesn't.

It wasn't that he doesn't yearn for your affection— the problem is that he doesn't know if he was allowed to even be this close to you.

Even when your arms wrapped around him and your lips pressed against him, his hands hovers for a moment before settling on your waist.

His touch never linger for too long;

His hand on the small of your back— not totally pressed but just enough for you to feel its there, His fingers grazing against yours deliberately but never truly holding your hand— just enough for you to know he's still there beside you as you both walked,

And you simply thought that maybe Diluc is simply not clingy, which is funny because what he really wants is to press his face on your neck and nuzzle against it absentmindedly when the night feels a bit colder than usual and he wants slow sleepy kisses in the morning with you tucked in his chest.

That is not the definition of not clingy.

So when he found out that you welcomed his affection, that you also yearned for his affection while whispering sleepily one night, "I want you to hold me more,"—

Diluc melts.

And suddenly his touches lingers more, kisses become more frequent— slower and needier yet reverent all at once, arms slithered around your waist while pulling you closer whenever possible.

Because all he wanted was you, and all he needed to hear was that you also want his affection as much as he wants yours.

[cinnamol]

Diluc presses a red and black glove to your mouth, and leaves it in your hands. “I’ll be busy today, so I’ll leave this with you.”

When asked where one of his gloves went, by an employee, he says that he must have left it somewhere, and leaves it at that.

Genshin guy’s favourite cuddle positions

Warnings: sfw overall but some might be slightly suggestive. Ex Wriothesley

This is my interpretation but feel free to disagree. I like hearing other ideas

Love when you sit on their lap

Alhaitham loves when you sit in his lap while he reads a book. He likes this position because it keeps both your hands free and he’s able to do his own thing while still holding you. He especially loves when you fall asleep with your head in his neck. He might land a small kiss on your temple before going back to reading

Childe/Ajax loves this position because he can see your face while he teases you. He might flirt, might kiss, might even feed you like this. He just adores how flustered you look when he does.

Loves to rest his head in your lap

Bennett he loves to rest in your lap after a long day. It’s not that he doesn’t like other positions it’s just that things always go wrong in other positions. This one though feels safe. When you guys are out adventuring you guys may stop and rest at a tree where his will regain his strength by resting his head on your thighs.

Kinich likes it because it’s peaceful. Usually it’s him being the more dominant one when it comes to touch. He might have his hand around your waist when he uses his grappling hook to get you places. His hands bigger than yours so when you hold hands and he is guiding you around town you can’t help but feel protected. Most of the time when you guys sleep together you sleep with your head on his chest. This is one of the only ways he lets you baby him. He won’t ever admit it but even he likes to feel babied once in a while.

Razor isn’t too used to “cuddling”. Yes wolves like to cuddle each other but they do that by licking each other and rubbing shoulders. Obviously since he’s human he wasn’t able to do that much with his pack. Even when he did it was a completely different feeling than cuddling with another human yet alone his lover. He liked this position because it is what feels the most natural to him. In other positions he feels a little stiff. When he lay his head on your lap he can feel you watching over him and making sure he’s safe. He doesn’t need to worry about an ambush or anything else that could be dangerous for you both. He knows you will wake him up if you need him.

Loves to see you rest your head in his lap

Kazuha thinks you are pretty so he likes how he can fully see your face from this angle. Even if you turn your head away because he upset you then he can easily brush your hair out of your face and whisper in your ear. He’ll always whisper whenever you guys are like this. Might even start playing on a leaf. He loves when you talk about everything and nothing when you’re laying your head on his lap. He even lets you vent when you’re upset. If you do he’ll twirl a strand of your hair around his finger and touch you in a way that makes you know that everything will be alright.

Xinqiu just likes the idea of being near you in general. He likes to annoy you in this position. He might pull on your cheeks or give you a backhanded compliment. Nothing to make you truly angry, he just likes to tease you a bit.

Durin is still trying to learn what humans do with their lovers. Dragons definitely cuddle each other but how is he supposed to do that if you don’t have a tail? Well he spoke to Lisa and she told him that this is one of the easiest way to express comfort between lovers. He likes how it makes him feel like he can protect you. You’re letting yourself be vulnerable near him and it fills him with joy.

Xiao feels that this is all very new to him. He finds it difficult to feel vulnerable with you. Yes you do have moments but it’s a lot easier when you’re already vulnerable and he lets himself be vulnerable to your vulnerability. Unlike with the others he will fall asleep while sitting up. He’ll keep his arms crossed and close his eyes. He won’t fall asleep until you fall asleep but if you pretend to sleep he will eventually relax enough to sleep as well.

Cyno loves to tell you jokes in this position. He can see your expression and feel you wiggle if you laugh. You can’t escape him if you’re like this since if you try to sit up he can just grab your arm to make you stay. If you have a positive reaction to his jokes he’ll adore the way your eyes twinkle when he looks at you. If you have a negative reaction to his jokes he’ll keep a hand in your hair as he will make you listen to him explaining the joke. He loves how much he can analyze your body movements when you’re like this. It helps him discover what jokes you do like and what jokes are not funny to you.

Loves when you rest your head on his chest

Itto loves this position because it makes him feel super strong. He’ll wrap an arm around you making sure to pull you as close to him as possible. He loves the size ratio between your head and his muscles. If you fall asleep it’ll so boost his ego. He’ll whine if you try to leave that position to use the bathroom. He’ll basically beg for you to come back.

Loves when his face is resting in your chest

Wriothesley is completely shameless. It isn’t even something you guys can do often since he prefers when the valley of your chest is completely bear. Oh you’re not wearing something revealing? That’s okay he’ll put his head under your shirt. Once in awhile he’ll call you into his office just so he can do that for 15 minutes before sending you away like it was nothing.

Thoma is less sexual with it. He likes cuddling in general and this just happens to be his favourite. If you’re flat chested he likes to lay his head there to hear your heartbeat. If you have a decent amount of chest to you then he’ll lay on top of you with your arms around him. He’d like it if you treated him a little like a baby when he does. (NOT AGE PLAY)

Loves to bury his face in your stomach

Gorou loves to bury his face into your belly and let you pet his ears. The first few times you did it he felt super embarrassed but now every once in a while he will gather enough confidence to ask you. This position gives you the easiest access to his ears. You’re free to interpret how he reacts to you doing this. Personally I like to think he’ll let out little non sexual whimpers when you do.

Freminet is very shy when it comes to cuddling. Whenever you spoon him he’ll get embarrassed by how warm your breathing feels on his neck. If he spoons you he will feel awkward. If you rest your head on his lap he will feel super uncomfortable because his leg would fall asleep and he wouldn’t know how to tell you to move. At least when he’s lying on your stomach you can’t fully see his face and he can’t see much of yours. You make him nervous so it gives him a little bit of peace of mind.

Loves to be big spoon

Diluc just finds it difficult to be little spoon. He has been to your request a few times but it feels most natural when he’s holding you in his arms. Most of the time you will wake up to him holding you from behind even if you guys had an argument the night before.

Heizou loves to be big spoon just so he can make you blush. He likes whispering in your ear. If you’re playing on your phone (modern au because I don’t know the genshin version of this) he will distract you by randomly complimenting you. Sometimes it’ll be suggestive other times it’ll be sickeningly sweet. All he knows is he loves to catch you off guard.

Sethos makes a habit out of touching and holding you. He wants you to be able to listen to his heartbeat. Sometimes he will put his head on top of your head or in your hair.

Loves to be little spoon

Scaramouche/wanderer acts like he hates cuddling but in truth he really likes it. He usually won’t initiate it unless he thinks you want to. Most of the the time he will be doing something and you’ll join him by hugging him from behind. He won’t push you off but he’ll tsk or make a comment about you being super clingy.

Tighnari finds it easiest to get comfortable when he feels your arms around him. He does like when you touch his ears but I think his favourite position would be a still one. If you’re spooning him he will wrap his tail around you keeping your side and back warm

Neuvillette is a tall, big man. He might intimidate most but he doesn’t intimidate you. He loves when you are behind him and wrap all your limps around him as if you’re a backpack. I love the image of him holding a melusine and you holding him.

Kaveh finds that there is to nothing more relaxing than collapsing into your arms after a long day. He will even let out a long heavy sigh. When you hold him under the covers he will be out like a light. Usually he’s an over-thinker but there is something about the way you hold him that relaxes him.

Loves when you guys hold each other

Venti loves when you guys are holding each other. If he’s drunk he’ll be a little handsy while talking about how hot you are. If he is sober he will talk in poetic riddles that you barely understand. You’re assuming they’re good things. Likes it more if you’re underneath him when you cuddle.

Lyney loves having someone to hold tight. He’s used to being forced to put on a show for everyone. Now that he has someone who he doesn’t need to put on a show for he knows he doesn’t want to lose you. He will hold tightly.

Doesn’t have a favourite

Chongyun isn’t the biggest fan of cuddling. He likes physical affection yes but it’s very important that he’s able to stay calm at all times. He loves you he really does but he doesn’t know if he’ll be able to keep his ying energy at bay if you’re super close to him for long periods of time. Holding your hand is one thing but resting against you is another. He doesn’t want you to see the side of him that peaks out when his ying energy is out of control. If you have already seen that state of him he will still avoid it. When he gets out of control he might hug the love out of you for a few seconds. (It’s canon that he gets really energetic when he can’t control his energy) if you guys ever get married he won’t avoid sleeping in a different bed than you. He has been secretly training so that one day that will be an option for you two. He wants it to come true but right now you’ll have to deal with occasional hugs and kisses throughout the day.

Gaming just loves everything. He can’t choose one position since they all have benefits. It depends on the day you ask him but he loves all positions on this list.

Characters that aren’t on this list

Albedo, Ayato, Baizhu, Dahlia, Ifa, Kaeya, Ororon, and Zhongli. All characters that I fear mischaracterizing or am really unsure.

All other characters must have come after this post (unsure if I’ll add new characters)

Please tell me if I forgot anyone

Mondstadt: how the boys act in a relationship~

Characters: Kaeya, Diluc, Venti, Albedo, Varka.

Info: What the title says. I didn't include the younger characters because I didn't feel super comfortable writing about them, sorry. >_<

Warnings: swearing - pet names - Albedos segment is a little suggestive if you squint - not proof-read.

Notes: Gn!reader! Also this is just a warm up post to get me back in the swing of this stuff :P

Kaeya ˖᯽ ݁˖

On god, I’m convinced this man is ethereal for the soul reason of distracting you from how much of a little shit he is.

A lot of people probably think of him as a flirt. They’re wrong. Charming? Yes. Flirty? No. This is something you also come to realise when he does start flirting with you, and oh boy, he can make you weak at the knees without even really trying. Worst part is? He’s very aware and will absolutely weaponise it.

He was raised with Diluc, so it’s no real surprise that he also knows how to be an extremely good gentleman! He always makes an extra effort to woo you and make you feel like royalty; whether that be simply holding doors or pulling out chairs for you to sit, or by surprising you with beautiful gifts and poetry that he unironically enjoys, if only because he enjoys collecting little pieces of work to quote back to you.

Occasionally, his past weighs heavy on him, and the only way he can really find comfort other than by drinking, is by pestering you. It’s obvious too. He’ll often push boundaries, albeit unintentionally; refusing to give you space, acting whiny, even sometimes getting snappy at you. Don’t take this to heart, though. He simply doesn’t know how to cope without self destruction; so just make a moment to tell him that it’s okay, give him a hug, and he’ll melt right into you—it’ll also grant you a bouquet of your favourite flowers and your favourite snack as an apology.

He secretly viewed Dainsleif as competition for a little.

“There isn’t a star in this universe, or any other that could possibly outshine you, my Love— I am truly bewitched by you, and I couldn’t be more honoured.”

Diluc ˖᯽ ݁˖

How is he younger than me. what.

A gentleman born and bred. It’s canon that he’s actually extremely charming towards people when it comes to social gatherings, despite his trademark aloof attitude; so be it no surprise when you’re treated like royalty.

Similar to Kaeya, he’ll show his affection through acts of service, along with a surprising amount of physical affection. He’s always making sure to touch you in some way; often opting for keeping his hand placed on your back, or offering his arm for you to hold onto.

Man made an entirely separate menu for The Angel’s Share that only you were allowed to order from! The menu containing all your favourite food and snacks, along with your very own signature drink that he and Elzer lost more sleep over than he’d ever be willing to admit.

You know he likes to play Batman. He knows you know—do either of you mention it? No. It’s funnier that way whenever he half-asses a flustered excuse as to why he was out all night.

Though, to be completely honest, you actually look forward to those nights, because it was the only time he’d willingly come back to bed once the sun was up, leaving the two of you snuggled together in the warmth of each others arms.

You’re also the only person who can touch his hair, and good lord is It soft. You steal his shampoo and conditioner so often that he now just buys two of each.

“For as long as the moon sets, and the sun rises, and with every breath I take, I will always make sure your tomorrows are filled with the peace and happiness you deserve.”

Venti ˖᯽ ݁˖

An absolute sweetheart with a truckload of trauma. But what else is to be expected of the Anemo Archon himself.

He’d be so sweet to you! Constantly praising you, pecking your cheek, even sometimes making a big deal about putting his cloak down on a puddle, just so you didn’t get your feet messy.

He’s definitely very whimsical when it comes to your relationship; always making sure to keep that sense of magic to your everyday life.

He’s actually cut back on his visits to Angel’s Share for you! Was he happy about it? Definitely not, but what did make him happy was seeing you less worried, which was the most important thing.

All of his gifts are handmade! And very diverse too.

He’s been alive for a long time, so it’s only natural that he’s gained some skills along the way; ranging from baking, sewing, carpentry, painting—you name it, and he most likely has a good idea on how to do it.

He’s definitely a little over protective, even if he tries to play it off cool. Whenever you venture a little too close to the edge of cliffs, or find yourself in a close call with some hilichurls; Venti would always just so conveniently be in the same area, and what kind of boyfriend would he be if he didn’t help his beloved in their time of need?

He’s honestly just scared of losing you. He knows it’s selfish, but he can’t stand the thought of losing you, not when you’ve given him a purpose; which was ironic for The God Of Freedom.

He absolutely adores it when you dance and sing for him, even if you’re atrocious at it! He’ll sing and play his lyre for hours, days if he could, just to hear you laugh and sing for as long as possible.

He also loves to lay with you in the grass, lazily pointing at random clouds and telling you stories from the past, before forcing you to take a nap.

“You are a song my voice will never grow tired of singing; a poem that never runs empty of words, and I will make sure that the wind will always guide you back into my arms, and to the home you’ll always have in my heart.”

Albedo ˖᯽ ݁˖

A walking conundrum to say the least.

He’ll stare you dead in the eyes and say the most out of pocket shit you’ll ever hear in your life, leaving your face burning brighter than a flaming flower, only to hit you with a deadpan “My apologies, I didn’t expect my words to have such an extraordinary effect on you.”

He likes to take notes on your behaviour, which often ruins the more romantic moments; like one time you were having a picnic under the stars, enjoying some much needed down time from the constant string of research you had been doing; when all of a sudden, Albedo pulled out a notebook and started writing in excruciating detail how your head tilted a little more to the side the more you liked whatever you were eating, then proceeded to explain how that was immensely important to take note of for the remaining date.

He doesn’t mean to be a little weird about it. This is his first time sharing such a unique connection with someone, and he just wants to make sure he knows and treasures everything about you!

He has the complete opposite of jealousy issues.

One time you got mad at him because someone was hitting on you in front of him, and he just enthusiastically joined in because why wouldn’t someone be attracted to you? He completely agreed with them.

Definitely would get protective if anyone got touchy, though.

He has a fancy, custom made pocket watch with a portrait he secretly had done of you, and he always makes sure to talk to it if you’re away for a long period of time.

“I’ve never been good at expressing how I feel; but somehow, you’ve given me the encouragement to try, just so I can put into words how much you truly mean to me.”

Oh you hunk of a man that will always have a beard, no matter how much Hoyo decides you don’t.

He’d absolutely brag about you every chance he got.

Honestly, he seems like a surprisingly normal guy?

He’d always bring back gifts from the places he’s stayed at, and if you like them? Then expect another one without any explanation.

He’d definitely be super into cuddling! Makes him feel like he’s protecting you whenever he has his arms wrapped around you.

He’d always make sure to be super gentle with you, often apologising frantically if he thinks he held you a little too tight.

Has a secret fear that one day he’ll roll on-top of you in his sleep and squash you.

People probably know your name more than his, considering how much he talks about you; often mentioning how he can’t wait to see the look on your face when he tells you about whatever insane scenario he just went through, or boring his men with stories about how you met, despite being scolded by you for it on multiple occasions.

His dream is to one day live in Mondstadt with you. No official work or expeditions; just the two of you, living an extremely cheesy, yet very happy life without having to be separated for so long.

“Everywhere I go, there always seems to be a piece of you floating around. And every time I find it, I manage to fall in love a little more.”

okay i’m gonna say it: fandoms are kinda dying on tumblr, and they’re starving because nobody reblogs anymore.

like… i don’t wanna be that person but be for real?? likes are cute and all but they do nothing for creators. ZERO. NADA. a reblog is literally the oxygen mask keeping this blue hellsite alive. you say you “love” a fic, an edit, a gifset? then BABES… reblog it. boost it. let it breathe.

half the time creators are out here pouring their entire soul, spine, AND three vertebrae into something just for it to get 200 likes and 3 reblogs, two of which are their own. that’s why people stop posting. that’s why fandoms feel empty. content doesn’t magically fall from the sky — it comes from people who feel seen.

and i promise you: reblogging is free. it costs you like 0.2 seconds and suddenly you’re personally responsible for keeping a whole fandom alive. congrats!! so yeah. if you like something? reblog it. scream in the tags. yell. keyboard smash. put sparkles. do whatever. just don’t let creators feel like they’re shouting into a void.

reblogs feed creators. reblogs keep fandoms thriving. reblogs literally save lives (okay maybe not literally but u get it).

support the creators you love !!!!!! or else we’re all gonna be sitting in empty tags like clowns.

Diluc

Small and short thoughts about him in headcanons form.

• He’s more caring than he appears

Diluc would never openly admit he worries about someone, but he silently watches over their well-being — leaving warm tea, a blanket, or fixing their clothes. His affection shows in actions, not words.

• He loves silence and calm

After long days at the tavern and nightly patrols, he truly needs quiet time. He enjoys sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine or simply watching the flames to clear his mind.

• He dislikes arguments but can be sharp

He isn’t confrontational, yet if something clashes with his moral principles, his tone becomes cold and cutting. Later, he often regrets being too harsh.

• In relationships he’s quiet but dependable

He won’t say “I love you” every day, but he'll show it through what he does: protecting, listening, and putting his partner first. Diluc is someone who simply stays, especially when things get difficult.

• He never forgets small details

He notices everything: favorite drinks, habits, disliked phrases, dates, even minor fears. He adjusts himself to make the other person more comfortable.

• He’s very jealous — in a silent, deep way

He won’t start drama, but his gaze turns icy. He hates it when someone is too persistent with the person he loves. He then broods over it quietly for a long time.

• He doesn't know how to accept care

When someone takes care of him, he gets flustered, confused, sometimes frustrated with his own reaction. But deep inside, it touches him more than he shows.

• He smells of woodsmoke and wine

Even outside the winery, there’s always a hint of oak barrels, spices, and a little smoke — like warmth from a fireplace.

• He secretly loves rare soft moments

Hugs, when it’s quiet and no one else is around, are his weakness. He holds tightly, resting his chin on his partner’s shoulder as if afraid to let go.

• He always keeps his word

A promise to him is a vow. If he says something, he will follow through — even if it costs him sleep or peace of mind.

You mention Diluc’s sense of humor. Would you elaborate on that? What are jokes he would enjoy? Is there anything that could pull a genuine laugh out of him?

Hi! Apologies; The Diluc muse comes and goes on his own time. He just got back.

verbal jokes, because I don't see him as being big on pranks. He has a very dry sense of humor, see archon quest where he 'will present the anemo archon with the bill' after venti drinks himself into a stupor in his tavern. He'll also likely employ and enjoy sarcastic comments.

Other than that, well timed sharp, witty comments every now and then will make him laugh. Bonus if it's in an unexpected moment or completely random. Also, funny stories or personal anecdotes, or extremely specific insults that don't contain swears just kind of gets to him.

He'll put one hand above his mouth and stifle a chuckle, but the smile still reaches his eyes, which is an adorable sight to see. You'll hear muffled laughter, and when you get closer to him, you'll hear a genuine laughter out of him: quiet, but a precious treasure all the same.

i can’t believe this is canon now

[skribblegurl]

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

cw: implied masturbation part one

diluc’s infatuation is growing with each passing day.

he tries to ignore it, but it’s hard when all he does is notice things about you. the colours you like to wear and buy, the foods and drinks you always reorder. the way you’re quick to friendliness, comfortable with conversation in a way diluc isn’t. 

his attraction for you is a perfect study of contradiction. opposites attract.

he sees it now, as he follows you around the city, holding your shopping bags because he’s too shy to hold your hand. you’re constantly accosted with trays of samples or the list of latest markdowns, shopkeepers eager for your opinion and business. 

at the blacksmith, wagner proudly presents you with photos of his daughter’s first ballet recital. at good hunter, sara tells you about a date she went on last night. even the gods could not conceive of a world where no-nonsense wagner would gush with no-nonsense diluc over a picture of a five year old’s ballet recital. 

this is the third time he's accompanied you on an afternoon shopping trip in the market district. diluc much preferred conducting his business in the morning before other businesses were open, but with you, he sees the charm of it all. 

it’d gotten him here, hadn’t he? in marjorie’s shop watching you look over pretty silks and sparkling jewels, brows drawn together as you contemplate your choices. 

he’s pretending not to notice as you inch the neckline of your dress down, letting marjorie drape a fine necklace around your throat that lands just above your…

diluc clears his throat and looks away. he definitely did not notice that.

“maybe next time,” you decide a little glumly, joking about how you still need to pay rent. marjorie nods, understanding, sending diluc a pointed look.

he nods. 

she unclasps the necklace, slipping it behind the counter instead of back onto the display as you readjust your dress.

“thank you for accompanying me once again,” you say a little breathless from the walk and conversation as he escorts you back to your apartment. “lisa and jean were right, you are quite the gentleman.”

he pushes aside the knowledge that you’d been talking about him. “it was my pleasure.” 

he follows you into your apartment, helping put away your groceries and shooing you away when you try and fail to conquer the top shelf. he notices that your faucet is dripping, so he fixes it, ignoring your protests. why wait when he’s here anyway?

“anything else that’s broken?”

“no.” 

he knows you’re lying (the knights of favonius housing isn’t that great) but he’ll be back next week anyway.

“this is hardly adequate, but i got you something.” you say as he’s about to leave, holding a small, slim box out to him. “just as a thank you, for being so welcoming. you can open it if you want. or wait until you get home. or give it away if you don’t want it! no pressure.” 

his gaze jumps from you to the box, his heart in his throat. you look just as nervous as he feels. he lifts the lid. 

“it’s a pen,” you explain before he can finish unwrapping it. “lisa helped me find one. it never runs out of ink.”

he carefully lifts it from the box. 

his stunned silence seems to fuel your nervous ramble. “you said you go through pens like crazy with all the paperwork you do. i just thought it might save you some mora on ink pots–”

“it’s perfect.” he tells you once he finds his voice, heat creeping up his neck. “it’s very thoughtful. thank you.”

your smile is twice as radiant as it was this morning, but maybe he just thinks so because it’s directed at him. “have a good afternoon, diluc.”

then you do the worst thing possible. 

you kiss him on the cheek.

___

diluc crashes into his study, furiously yanking his gloves off. he knows fire and heat, but this is different. it’s not flames licking up the blade of his claymore or crackling upon his palm. 

“fuck,” he grits his teeth, fumbling with his belt and then the button of his pants, shoving them below his hips. on the walk back, the friction drove him to distraction, and he couldn’t recall anything but how you’d felt pressed up against him, if only for a moment. 

he glares at the opposite wall, gripping the edges of his desk. this wasn’t good. he was losing control of his emotions all this because– because what? you'd kissed his cheek? you’d innocently kissed him goodnight and his body was demanding more of you. he’s never felt like this before. he’s been turned on, sure, but never at the mere idea of being with someone.

you. archons, you. the thought of you and him crashes over him like a wave, and he drowns in it.

he wants this feeling to stop. he wants it to last forever. he wants. your touch. your lips. you. would you even want him back? would you want to be touched by hands that weren't meant to cradle delicate, precious things? 

he wraps his fist around himself and thinks for a brief, angry moment that if he had half of kaeya’s charm, you’d be here with him right now.
