I feel like Lohen and Wanderer are nicer than the fanbase tends to characterize them as. In the game, while battle crazy, Lohen is actually rather nice to Traveler & Paimon. (And I don't even need to get into Wanderer in game lol)
Wanderer and Lohen being soft to their partners. There's no need to be rough, they can get that energy out elsewhere. Sure, they still say weird stuff or act a little odd sometimes, but they aren't like rough or mean or keeping a vice grip on their partners, yanno?
Wanderer responding to compliments with insults that really aren't insults and have absolutely no bite in the tone. All the while definitely letting his partner invade his space far more than anyone else, and giving some degree of physical affection (even if it's just holding hands). "Yeah...well...your hair is a mess, you look like a Sumeru rose in the wind" or something. He's too tsundere to say the sweet things back right away, but he's hardly being mean, and his tone is more teasing or playful or sweet.
Lohen being gentle and cheerful with his partner. One can almost forget he's the same individual as the madman on the battlefield. That is, until... "If it's gifts you like, angel, I can happily bring back some ruin guard parts! Or, or, even some rifthound claws! Whatever's your favorite, you name it, you'll have it!" "Lohen, I meant something like flowers, or sweets, silly." "Ohhh, gotcha. I can do that too!"
Bonus: Lohen would also definitely offer to shred anything in his partner's nightmares. Not possible? Doesn't matter. He'll figure out a way. He looks so ready for the hunt that his partner actually believes him and it does actually make his partner feel better.
Anon THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT YES
I see this a lot especially with Lohen being headcanoned to be a yandere or obsessive and possessive over his lover/partners (seeing the illuhen ship) when that isn’t his case at all, like you said when we see him he’s extremely respectful and kind even to venti which was just “a random bard that knows a little too much” according to him if I recall correctly yet he wasn’t rude or hostile to anyone 😭 even in his leaked voicelines he isn’t malicious towards the traveler but rather curious about them which reminds me a lot of Childe. I think lohen would use pet names like “angel” and “my love” so far. I’ve seen people say lohen needs someone to humble him, given what we theorize about visits and especially cryo ones he needs someone to understand him instead
Imo wanderer is just as an unfortunate case as Lohen because I think a lot of people don’t understand the difference between scaramouche and him and or prefer scaramouche instead which messes up how he is perceived, just listen to how he talks to the traveler, paimon, nahida, Durin. People he is close to and comfortable with vs how he spoke to those people as scaramouche when we were enemies it’s very different and he’s even canonically called the traveler adorable, his teapot lines are so much softer and sweeter and even the voiceline where he muses he would have loved to take them to the harbinger feasts, which could definitely be seen as a intimate gesture even if it was because he found it funny it’s akin to being invited to dinner.
