hi !! feel free to ignore but can I request g/t headcanons with wanderer and/or venti ? have a nice day!!!! :) <3
Holidays got me so behind on asks, here ya go!
Wanderer: I love the fact that you can choose a name for him, I gave him the name Kokoro so that will be the name I use for these headcanons. (Also giving him the nickname of Ko which means child)
Giant/human size:
If there was a poster child for fearplay from a giant, Kokoro would be it. Pre-Irminsul incident he was not kind to borrowers that he came across. At the very best case scenario he would let them scurry off, whispering his disgust under his breath, worst case scenario…well.
Post-Irminsul incident he’s much more tolerant of tinies, especially after having to interact with some that attend the Academiya. He just ignores them mostly, unless he gets paired up with someone (ie Faruzan who he tolerates).
He doesn’t have a lot of his sense of pressure and touch anymore, between being a puppet and the Dottore’s experimentation. So sometimes he finds a tiny that has hitched a ride on his person somewhere. It’s lowkey a game between the tinies of the Academiya, who can stay on the Dendro Archon’s pupil the longest without him noticing.
Current record was Layla who had fallen asleep in one of his pockets on accident, and was only discovered because Nahida had teased Kokoro about bringing a friend “home”.
Tiny/borrower size:
Pre-Irminsul incident, he would be a very aggressive tiny that would assist the Fatui as a spy of sorts. He would still desire the Electro Gnosis, less because he believes it to be rightfully his, and more to just piss off his “mother”.
HATES being held, will do whatever he can to not be held. He doesn’t mind sitting on a shoulder or anything, just being held like a doll.
Abandonment issues are dialed up to 11, especially since the child that passed from sickness would play with him like a regular doll. Traumatized.
Venti: My favorite archon <3 silly little wind sprite.
Giant/human size:
Easily the gentlest person around tinies. Can be found sleeping in many random places absolutely covered in the tiny folks of Mond.
Most tinies know he’s Barbatos, and consider him the patron deity of tinies. Since, he too has a tiny form (wind sprite).
He actually plays around with his size sometimes to be more closely involved with the tiny community of Mondstadt, though often with a change of clothes to prevent too much confusion.
If a tiny feels comfortable with him, they should be prepared to have a bad hair day. He tends to fidget with whatever is in his hands, aka tinies often find themselves completely ruffled after a few minutes of Venti’s attention being elsewhere.
Tiny/borrower size:
Prankster of the year award has been his for centuries. Between causing headaches for Jean, to stealing an unfathomable amount of wine from the Angel’s Share, new visitors to Mond will often be warned of a tiny bard clad in green.
He can often be seen hitching rides with just about anyone, offering them a day filled with music for just an apple.
Cats are even worse to tiny Venti, not only is he allergic, now they're big. He’s often seen on rooftops and in trees for that exact reason
“Wendy.” You glanced up from your adventuring pack, smiling at your mother. “You’re still going on this fool's errand I see.”
“Yes ma’am.” You smiled cheekily, watching her face fall into a stern look that you knew far too well. You lightly tapped the anemo vision that hung straight over your heart, a firm reminder of the faith that your mother had instilled in you of Lord Barbatos, as well as your own ability to wield the element of Anemo. “I’ll be fine.”
Gloria sighed, the sound just as familiar to you now as it was years ago when you told her of the giant bard you had met as a child. “Be sure to say goodbye to your siblings. Don’t you dare forget Glory, she worries for you every time you leave Mond, especially after that Goodwin fellow she’s smitten with up and left with Grandmaster Varka. Barbatos guide them.”
“I will Mom, don’t worry.” Your mom took care of many of the orphaned or unsupervised children of Mond, which had left you a little bitter in your early teenage years, but now you loved all of them, and leaving without saying goodbye would make you feel sick to your stomach. “Besides I’m just going up to Dornman Port, I’ll still be in Mondstadt.”
“I know, I know…just be careful. Our border with Scheznaya is near there, and with the Fatui causing their usual problems…I just worry.” You nodded, giving your mom a quick hug. She took a deep breath, as if having you in her arms grounded her.
“Well.” She slowly pulled away. “I suppose you should get going before the sun goes down.”
“I’ll be back soon, I promise.” You smile, putting on your backpack and securing your straps. “And I’ll be sure to write as soon as I arrive, okay?”
“Alright.” Your mom nodded, her hand reaching up to worry her rosary between her fingers. “I love you.”
“Love you too!” As you left the house the wind danced around you, playing with your hair and carrying the scent of apples. You followed the wind as you said your goodbyes to your siblings, and waved at the townsfolk that had watched you grow up.
Leaving the gates of Mond, the wind always felt sharper, angrier. As if it wasn’t just a friend, but a protector and a guide. Kind of like a guard dog. You cautiously pulled your Catalyst from your inventory, the gleaming blues of the cover and accents glowing and pulsing with elemental energy. You were fairly strong, taking lessons from any of the Anemo users you could, mostly Sucrose.
Slowly you began your trek, following the road to the north as it led through the Whispering Woods, the foliage danced in the breeze almost as if waving. Thankfully the Knights of Favonious patrolled through here often, leaving no hilichurls or slimes to interrupt your travels. Each step was met with more and more excitement as you recounted your plans.
As you reminded yourself again to stop before evening light, your eyes fell on Starfell Lake and the Statue of the Seven that sat on the tiny island in its middle. You frowned as you debated taking the tiny detour before shrugging. It would be a quick respite from your trek so far, and you could offer some berries you had picked on the way to Barbatos. As you reached the edge of the lake you bit your lip. Getting wet wasn’t in the plan, so after a moment of thought you turned your eyes on some nearby slimes. If you could get enough energy…
“Wind, hear me!” You shouted as you pulled the air away from the slimes, creating a vacuum and dealing damage to the elemental creatures. Energy rushed through you as the slimes melted in defeat, and you turned back to Starfell Lake with a grin. Using the burst of energy you had stored, you took on the form of a wind sprite and floated easily over to the Statue, landing and brushing yourself off. A familiar warmth rolled over you as you basked in the aura of the statue, apparently it was something only vision holders could feel. Though, to you it felt like being near the Big Bard from your childhood, it felt safe. You carefully dusted away any debris from the statue before bowing your head in prayer.
“Please, Lord Barbatos, guide me to find my friend again.” You whispered, scrunching your eyes like you always have when you would pray. Your mother would sigh every time and tell you it wasn’t necessary, but you had argued that the Big Bard had said it would’ve made Barbatos laugh, so you have continued to do so ever since.
You concluded your prayer and opened your eyes, only for them to widen in complete shock. You spun around in horror as you didn’t recognize anything, the landmarks you had grown up with were missing, even the lake that was supposed to be all around you was completely gone, replaced with…
“Dandelions…” You whispered, gaping as the entire expanse around you was covered in the plants. “Is this…”
“You made it!” A soft scream tore its way out of your throat as the sun seemed to disappear, leaving you in darkness. “Oh no…”
Suddenly the sun returned as abruptly as it had left, and you slowly pulled your arms down from where they had instinctively raised to guard your face. Your breath caught in your throat as familiar, giant, teal eyes peered at you, surrounded by a pale face that your mind hazily tried to liken to the one in your memories.
It wasn’t until the wind wrapped itself around you in that gentle way that it had many many years ago, reminding you immediately of home, that you finally started to relax. It was like a hug from an old friend.
“Hello again little one.” The Big Bard smiled. “Though I suppose you’re not so little now, are you?”
“No, I’m not.” You crossed your arms, glaring playfully. “You’re still as big as I remember though.”
The giant let out a soft laugh. “It would seem so. I’m surprised you remembered me so well. Most humans tend to forget me when I’m not around.”
“That’s not nice.” You grumbled. “You told me to meet you when I was older, of course I can’t forget a promise.” You glanced around at the Sea of Dandelions. “Though Lord Barbatos must have teleported me here, I was just at Starfell Lake.”
“I did.” You turned back to the Big Bard and raised an eyebrow.
“You can teleport people? Well that makes sense, you probably couldn’t travel very easily at your size…” You froze. “Wait.” Slowly you looked back up at the “make-believe” friend from your childhood and felt everything click. “Oh.”
“Hey, it’s alright. I don’t mind just being your friend y’know.”
Your mouth ran dry as your heart began to pound in your ears. All this time…you had been friends with the Archon of Mondstadt. Calling him all kinds of nicknames, butchering his name for the first few years of your life. Your vision suddenly felt heavy around your neck. What if all of this time he was keeping an eye on you because you offended-
“Wendy.” You flinched and looked up at Lord Barbatos in fear. He knew your name? Of course he knew your name, your mother had prayed to him every night of her life. You had prayed to him yourself many times. “You’re shaking.” You barely reacted at the gentle touch of his giant hand against your arm.
Then in the blink of an eye the huge god you were familiar with was gone, and in his place was a young boy wearing a teal-green outfit, holding out a hand.
“Is this better?” You blinked and slowly relaxed, gently taking the offered hand. “Hi, my name’s Venti, Venti the Bard. It’s nice to meet you.”
You stared for a moment before smiling, realizing he was giving you the chance to begin as friends, not as an Archon and their follower.
“I’m Wendy, Wendy the Adventurer.” You smiled. “And eventually I hope to meet my friend Barbatos at his full height.”
“I’m sure one day he would be happy to show it to you.” Venti giggled, pulling you down to sit amongst the Dandelions. The breeze here was so gentle as to not blow the seeds away, but the winds still blew, weaving through the air like playful children. Your eyes widened as you heard the soft chimes that denoted the laughter of a wind sprite. Venti smiled. “If you want to hear a song, I have one in mind. But-” He winked. “It’ll cost you an apple.”
Your laughter filled the air and upon listening to the first chords your eyes grew heavy, closing against your will.
A warmth on your face woke you up, and you sat up groggily rubbing at your eyes. Slowly you opened them fully, blinking at the early morning light blinding you as it reflected off the water.
Your eyes widened in shock as you glanced around, finding you had fallen asleep on the dais of the Statue of the Seven at Starfell Lake. As you slowly recalled what had happened you were about to dismiss it as a dream, only to blink as you sat up, completely covered in Dandelion Seeds.
So I know am obsessed with this but I cannot find stuff like this anymore so yeah :(
So 5/6 words..
Giant venti with child human/reader

I adore Venti so much, favorite Archon go brrrrrr. Sorry this took so long, I actually survived a tornado over the weekend, thankfully I was just visiting the area so I didn't have any damage, but a friend I knew that lived in the area did so I was helping them out. Thanks for the patience all the same <3
--------
“Little one you’re a bit far from home.” You giggled softly at the familiar breeze that wrapped around you. It smelled like Sunsettias, which was good, that meant your friend actually ate something today.
“I wanted to see you though!” You pouted as you looked up at the entrance to the broken temple place. “I got a vision!”
“Oh?” You clapped eagerly as the familiar teal eyes slowly blinked open in front of you. The big Bard pulled himself up a little so he could see you properly, ever so gently ruffling your hair with a single finger. “What element is it?”
“Anemo!” You exclaimed proudly. “Mama said Bardabatos gave me his blessing!”
Venti barely held back his laughter at the butchering of his Archon name. “I see, you must have impressed the Anemo God for sure.”
“I think he’s happy I made friends with you, Mister Bard!” You grinned, the wind gently playing around you, at your whim and Venti’s supervision. “Does that mean I get to see you stand up now?”
Venti bit back a groan. He had promised you that when you were older and gained a vision he would show you his entire form. He didn’t think it would come so soon, nor that you would remember the promise.
“Alright little one, but we’ll have to be careful. If the wrong person sees me stand up they could hurt me.” He hummed softly, the noise causing you to giggle more as the air around you practically vibrated with the sound. “Come here, I need to make sure I don’t lose you now.”
You practically threw yourself into his open hand, the warmth of his hand was like the nicest bed in the world. You watched in awe from where you were laying on your back as he began to get up, your mind spinning like the windmills as he seemed to unfold. White fabric wrapped around him, but as you watched it slowly changed to green. Eventually he was sitting upright and you jumped up in indignation.
“You’re not standing up!” You accused, pouting as he merely chuckled at you.
“I can’t stand up here, I’ll break the rest of the Thousand Winds Temple little one.” Venti explained softly. “And I don’t want to scare anyone in Mondstadt that might see me from the city. They don’t know about me after all.”
“Oh right! Mister Bard is supposed to be a secret.” You sighed softly, playing with your vision. “I hope Bardabados keeps you safe from any mean people.”
“I’ll be fine, little one.” Venti smiled, slowly laying down again but on his back this time. “When you get much older, find the Dandelion Sea. I’ll show you my true height then, alright?”
“Okay!” Venti smiled at the eagerness in your voice. He watched as the sky began to burn with sunset and sent you off back to Mondstadt. He stared at the sky as the stars began to appear and smiled, tracing the new constellation in the sky.
