Self ship polycule ask prompts

Note: I've defined some terminology at the bottom for those unfamiliar. Since I have multiple polycules, I'm putting group names in the tags so you can ask for one of those, and others can do the same if you like.

1. In what order were the relationships within your polycule* formed?

2. Were you and your f/o(s) already polyamorous, or was it something you decided to try together?

3. Who lives with who? Who sometimes stays the night with who?

4. Has anyone gotten jealous? If so, how was it resolved?

5. Do you get compersion* for your f/o(s)? If so, what are some memorable moments where you felt it?

6. If you have metamour(s)*, how well do you know them? Do you ever hang out with your f/o(s) at the same time, or do you prefer to take turns?

7. If you have f/os who are metamours, how well do they know each other? Do they ever hang out with you at the same time, or do they prefer to tak turns?

8. Does anyone in the polycule have or want children? If so, what does that family structure look like?

9. What's one of your favorite things to do with each f/o in the polycule?

*polycule: a network of people connected by non-monogamous relationships.

*compersion: A positive feeling when your partner has a good experience with someone else; the opposite of jealousy.

*metamour: your partner's other partner that you are not also partnered with.

It just dawned on me that since Klee and Qiqi are both immortal/long lived as well, it would make sense for Aether, Venti and Zhongli to adopt them in the future when their current caretakers can't look after them anymore. I have justified adding them to my familial f/os!

It really works out well because Zhongli can't have bio kids without them being visibly half adeptus and blowing his cover; I, and by extension my inserts, are uncomfortable with piv; and it's currently unknown if a half wind spirit is even a biological possibility. And if the triad adopted humans, they would most likely live to see their kids die, which would suck.

Venti: *Affectionately insults Zhongli*

Zhongli: *affectionately insults him back*

Venti: *falls back dramatically across Aether's lap* Help, Zhongli is bullying me!

🌻 + 🧸 for Zhongli (and Venti too if you want!) :3

It's a triad, so it would be kinda hard to separate them for domestic stuff.

🌻 describe what home is like for you and your f/o. (do you live together? would you like to? how do you decorate? what makes it comfortable for you both?)

Complicated. After those two idiots (affectionate) finally got their feelings sorted out, Venti pretty much lives with Zhongli in Liyue, though he frequently visits Mondstadt, which is still the superior city in his opinion. He finds Liyue to be too bureaucratic at times, and he's also more popular as a bard with the Mondstadt audience. Zhongli gets dragged along when he can get time off work.

Aether also feels at home at Zhongli's place, though they can't settle in currently because they have a plot to go on and a sister to find. But when Zhongli dream-skypes them, it's where he defaults to taking them.

🧸 it’s a lazy day, perhaps a rainy one, and you or your f/o are feeling a bit melancholy. how do you cheer each other up? (are you two extravagant or gentle? are you both good with emotions, or does it take patience? is it a time for gifts or affection? )

When Zhongli is melancholy, it's often best to just sit with him and let him go on about whatever is on his mind, and he'll usually feel better after a while.

Venti usually wants cuddles. Sooner or later, he or Aether will end up singing something softly, and the other joins in.

Aether doesn't get melancholy too often. I spare them from my depression. But they can get restless and moody if the weather is too bad to do any adventuring work, or when they miss Lumine. Zhongli and/or Venti would distract them by telling old stories. If both of them are there, they get to hear two different versions of the same tale--the original/historically accurate version, and the most poetic version.
