#chiyaka

[canonical-transformation]

I get why Ayato/Chiori took off last patch: yes queen, peg the smirk off that man's face! (It won't work, the smirk is glued on, but at least you can get noises out of him.) But I'm really hoping 4.5 gives enough material to make Ayaka/Chiori friends-to-distant-acquaintances-to-lovers start trending, because it's so yuri. As a concept.

these two have been taking up my thoughts

back on my chiyaka bullshit

[lovelynakahara]

hello there, I saw your sort of old post on chiyaka! I see you are also a person of taste. would you like to elaborate on how you see chiyaka?

[kicks open door] ANOTHER PERSON OF TASTE ⁽⁠⁽⁠ଘ⁠(⁠ ⁠ˊ⁠ᵕ⁠ˋ⁠ ⁠)⁠ଓ⁠⁾⁠⁾ strap yourself in cause I've had nobody other than @zhongkaetxt to talk about these two with for SO long

Something important is that I think Ayaka knows more than she lets on. She knows Ayato wants to protect her from the hardships of being a leader but she also isn't a child anymore. She keeps her ear to the ground and it's not uncommon for her to know about things even before Ayato. I think that plays into how she is when her and Childe first meet. She knows about him and likely knew of his presence long before seeing him, but she refuses to be intimidated.

They aren't quite enemies to lovers, but they aren't far off! He may simply be curious about her, but Ayaka is not quick to forget what happened when Fatui last appeared in Inazuma. There's a lot of banter, especially at first. They're coy with each other, true feelings thinly veiled by fake diplomacy. They both know they're playing with fire but they just feel so drawn to each other. I actually have a wip of their first meeting that expands on this hehe

LATER ON THOUGH!! Childe helps Ayaka learn to be herself more. She doesn't have to be the Shirasagi Himegimi at all times. He'll stop and look her in the eyes and say "what do *you* want?" He gets her to do fun things spontaneously like sliding down the halls in their socks or taking off their shoes to play in the stream. Despite his work, he is so surprisingly sweet and every time he shows it she falls a little bit more in love. (Also she is moronsexual and finds his impulsive dumbass endearing.)

Childe at first is simply curious about the small girl that can best even the most seasoned samurai. She keeps her guard up at first but he's used to that and doesn't let it deter him. When they finally duel she puts him on his ass and he's like 😳😳 but that's only the beginning!! When she confronts him on the fatui's actions and he finds out how much she was willing to sacrifice for what she believed in he can't help but admire her. Then once he starts seeing the real Ayaka, the mischievous and passionate swordmaster, he knows he's done for. Every time he sees her playful or competitive side he falls a little bit more in love too.

Sorry if this is long and a little all over the place but I just love Childe tripping over himself doting on cute girls that could kick his ass and those girls thinking his dumbassery is endearing!! I hope you like and if you want more headcanons or anything I can provide <33

(If you want to know a secret: I adore any combination of childe/ayaka/kokomi/ganyu like alongside zk they're my FAVORITE)

another chiyaka! she gets to carry him this time

YOU. you ship chiyaka. tell me more about chiyaka and i'll tell you more about chiyaka

ANOTHER CHIYAKA LIKER???? i have been obsessed w them since the mystic onmyou chamber event omg .

i rarely use tumblr so its a miracle i even saw this ask but ... ask and u shall receive!

here's a (hopefully comprehensive) rant about how i view chiyaka!

I ADORE chiyaka's dynamic sm. I love the idea of two powerfully titled people just. losing their status whenever they're together. as if they're just normal people, absolutely lovestruck by one another... When they're together, ayaka isn't the shirasagi himegimi of the kamisato clan, childe isn't the eleventh harbinger tartaglia, they're just. two kids in love.

The idea that love is supposed to be a freeing place where you can just. exist. happily.

The people of Inazuma happily gossip about the young harbinger and ms Kamisato, it's a nice distraction from the previous turmoil of the vision hunt decree and the war between the shogunate and watatsumi.

The two often fall under scrutiny from the public, and the stares Childe receives on his afternoon strolls to komore teahouse don't go unnoticed. He can feel their eyes burning into the back of his head, he can hear their whispers,

but he doesn't care. Neither of them do. they're so unapologetically in love in fact, they rather the Raiden Shogun herself strike them down with the Musou no Hitotachi than renounce their relationship.

The majority of this rarepair relies on fanon, unfortunately, since i dont believe they've had a single canon interaction 😭

but its fine since im deranged, heres a list of my Chiyaka Headcanons!

- Ayaka is pan and uses she/they!

- similarly, Childe is bi & is cis but doesn't care what prns you use for him!

- chiyaka and thomato go on double dates to all the restaurants around town :3

- ayato is ALWAYS picking on ayaka for falling for a fatuus, but deep down he admires her bravery for sticking by his side.

- ayato and childe dont always get along but when they do they typically end up sparring or dining together.

- childe LOVES to cook for ayaka, like. adores it. thoma is constantly complaining about him being in the kitchen when he comes to visit

- chiyaka spar often, childe used to go easy on her, but after learning of ayaka's true strength, they've had countless matches end in a draw.

- the one time ayaka has seen childe in his foul legacy form, she wasn't scared. in fact, i think she fell for him even harder.

um anyways i could keep going but it's 4:20 so you know what that means!

[lovelynakahara]

does childe being allowed in komore teahouse in the ep vid count as chiyaka crumbs?

Like!! Look at that face!! He's waiting for his girlboss gf to meet him for dinner
