This Isn't A Post But More Of A Lil Thing I've Noticed In A Lot Of Genshin Fics.

This isn't a post but more of a lil thing I've noticed in a lot of Genshin fics.

"Y/N's cheeks turned/blushed red." And any other variation of that sentence shows you that when the author wrote their fic they had a light skinned Y/N in mind. Now I'm not saying that if you're coloured your cheeks can't go red, but for a lot of us POC that doesn't happen.

This isn't by any means a rant I just find it real funny when I read sentences like that because I know my ass does not blush red 💀

hi!~ i heard you were doing matchups based on embarrassing moments! mine isn’t that bad but i still think about it today;

so one time i’m walking up to school with my friend and some of her friends, and i’m walking backwards bc i’m ranting about something (always a bad idea haha). i just remember suddenly bumping into someone and as i turn around i trip on air and fall flat on my face...everyone laughed at me (￣∀￣)

(sorry if the format looks weird, i’m on mobile lol)

I said him before but that's such a Bennett thing to do 😭

Poor boy has probably done that so he definitely understands your pain!

Either him or funnily enough, Fischl, I can imagine her going on a tangent and tripping on her face, OZ is very amused.

Cuddling with the Hashira

Preface that it's only *some* of the Hashira.....

《Giyuu Tomioka》

Firm and unyielding! He will not let go until you've fallen asleep with him. He doesn't talk much but if you ask him anything he will reply with a hum, or a nod.

He prefers to be the big spoon through and through, it'll take some asking if you want to take over. He sleeps better if he's the big spoon because he knows you're safe in his arms.

He'll rest at your side, his arms enveloping you with warmth and protection.

"Can we stay like this? Just a bit longer.."

《Obanai Iguro》

He is very private, but on the off chance you get to cuddle he'll allow his snake, Kaburamaru to wrap around your neck as he snakes his arms around your waist. Pun intended.

He doesn't talk... it just doesn't happen.

Is okay with being a big spoon but prefers if you are. He's fine with both and isn't picky. But just so you know, if you're the big spoon he'll melt.

He likes it when you wrap you arms around him and allow Kaburamaru to lay on top. He'll never admit it though.

"Six more hours..... please?"

《Tengen Uzui》

If you're the one feeling cuddly, he'll have you the closest to him. With his other wives joining in lovingly. If you're not the closest then these girls will smother you so much! 

They'll cuddle you so much and whisper sweet nothings to the point in where you'll end up with cavities.

Sandwiched. You will ALWAYS be sandwiched between them. There's no big spoon for you. You will ALWAYS be a little spoon. (That is- if you're not on top of any of them)

You talk with the others whilst Tengen is already asleep, laughing and talking with each other until you finally fall asleep as well. You feel complete bliss.

He doesn't sleep on his side and keeps his arms out. You usually lie on top of him and also have your arms splayed out so the others can at least feel your embrace.

"Who keeps moving so much? .. Gah!"

《Kyojuro Rengoku》

He has a tight and warm grip on you always! He's always up for cuddling unless he has business to attend to. He'll always hold you as if it's the last time he ever will...

He'll always be the big spoon, no questions or protests, he will always! Only on a rare chance will you be able to be a big spoon!

He always asks you about your day even if you did nothing he will still listen intently. All the stories he has reduces you to a worried mess that one day he won't return to you. But with the same smile you love, he will reassure you he will be by your side until the end.

"I will love you always! So don't worry and simply live in the moment!"

《Shinobu Kocho》

I mean... unless you're shorter than her.... you're going to be the one holding her all the time. She isn't very clingy and will give you space usually. But if you're cuddly, she'll have her haori act as a blanket and dig her face at the crook of your neck.

You'll lay your head on top of hers and the gesture will actually make her melt.

Since you're her lover, her worry will ALWAYS show, she can't get a good nights sleep if she doesn't know how you're doing. She wants to know everything, what you're doing, what you've been eating, if you've been healthy, if you're hurt. If you are hurt, she WILL force you to stay in bed as she tends to you. You'll also get a good 30 minute lecture as well as yucky medicine to top it off.

"I love you so much but if you come to bed with wounds and don't tell me, demons will be the least of your worries!"

《Mitsuri Kanroji》

Tight, protective and clingy! Mitsuri loves being the little spoon and will always ask if you're okay with it. Cuddles are an everyday thing that she always relishes! It actually makes her work much harder and faster knowing that she'll get to cuddle you at the end of the day.

She'll want to know about your day and how you're doing. Haven't been eating? She'll prepare an entire feast the very next day. Injured? She will beg Shinobu to bring you back to top notch health!

She loves lying face to face with you. She'll always be sure to stay awake so she can see you sleep. Occasionally she'll give you the softest kisses and whisper sweet nothings, but also making sure she doesn't wake you.

"I love you so much, you don't understand.."

《Sanemi Shinazugawa》

Sanemi will always hold you protectively. Just saying.. you will NEVER be able to big spoon Sanemi. No matter how tall, no matter how big! He'll hold you always.

He is very prideful, and if you're able to cuddle with this man, cherish it. Keep it. Because you have a 2 out of 10 chance of being able to cuddle with him.

He doesn't talk through it at all. He simply wants to sleep because his body needs it. If you talk all you will get is a groan of annoyance and a shush.

He'll have you resting on his chest as his arms lay at the small of your back. If you kiss his scars at all, you just might get the smallest of smiles out of him.

"I need sleep... stop moving around so much."

How the Liyue girls listen to you when you ramble

══════════✧══════════

A/N: This is purely self indulgent fndbebrj. This post was inspired by Keikaminarii on Tiktok!

WARNING(S): None!

TAG(S): Fluff :)

CHARACTER(S): Ganyu, Keqing, Ningguang, Beidou, Hu Tao, Yanfei, Xinyan, Xiangling

══════════✧══════════

『 GANYU 』 Listens so intently as if she has all the time in the world. She constantly keeps her eyes on you whilst writing out the work she was intented to do. Nevertheless she will not take her eyes off of you until you've finished. Even then she gleefully awaits the next topic of discussion. She'll occasionally comment but mostly just likes to listen.

❝I'm happy you made it out without a scratch!❞

『 KEQING 』 Doesn't look at you when you talk, as the Yuheng she's always working herself to the point of exhaustion, she's awfully quiet but she is listening. A voice in her head is wondering if you feel a sense of disinterest radiating off of her, that'd explain why you stopped talking about your recent commission you'd completed. She loves hearing about your day, so she speaks up rather quickly to clear any misunderstanding.

❝I'm listening still, so what did you do next? How did you escape that situation?❞

『 NINGGUANG 』 Ningguang is another busy person with much to do, however she understands the importance of spending moments with a loved one. And so, she invites you to her office so she can hear about your week. She finds it rather easy to talk, listen, and work so she's quick to comment a lot.

❝Expertly thought out strategy! I'd expect nothing less.❞

『 BEIDOU 』 All of her attention is on you, even her bottle of rum is long forgotten as she peers closer to hear your tale. Her eyes sparkle with intense wonder. No one can distract her when she's in this state, it's almost as though she's hypnotized. She's the type to nod along with what you're saying and gleam a large grin at the end of your story.

❝Haha! If you're willing to trade tactics we could both learn a thing or two.❞

『 HU TAO 』 She's the type to constantly comment. "No way!" "Really?" "And then what?" Are usually the comments that leave her mouth. Despite the repetition her eyes never leave yours until you've finished talking, you might think that she doesn't care and just says the same thing so you'll be satisfied, however that's far from the truth, and she will make that apparent.

❝Say.. do you remember where you annihilated that treasure horder? No reason!❞

『 YANFEI 』 Likes to speed through her day whilst talking with you, she'll link pinkies with you to let you know that she's still listening despite not looking at you. Sometimes she'll trail off and lose focus of what you're saying, she doesn't mean to but she also has a lot on her plate at all times.

❝Hm? Oh yes I'm still with you! .. but could you repeat that last part?❞

『 XINYAN 』 Is definitely the type to nod along at each word you're saying. She wants to make you feel heard no matter what. She'll probably play with the strings of her guitar, cup her face, and maybe even sway as she's listening to you. With you she's never bored, she always finds everything you say so interesting.

❝That'll teach them to mess with ya!❞

『 XIANGLING 』 Xiangling likes to clean up Wanmin whilst hearing you ramble, bonus points if she can feed you between talking. She likes to fidget with your hands whilst you talk about your day, it never fails to bring a smile to her face. At some intervals you may notice her suddenly lose attention, don't worry she tends to get sidetracked a bit more than she'd like to admit.

❝Ah sorry! I was just wondering if you'd like some dinner?❞

How the Inazuma girls listen to you when you ramble

══════════✧══════════

A/N: back from the dead momentarily!! These are slightly more analytical in terms of character as opposed to the Liyue Version, but I still hope you enjoy!

WARNING(S):

TAG(S): Slight angst??

CHARACTER(S): Ayaka, Yoimiya, Yae, Kokomi, Sara, Baal, Kazari

══════════✧══════════

『 AYAKA 』 Your company is seldom for the Shirasagi Himegimi, as such, when there is a moment in where you can freely speak to Ayaka she latches onto your every word, almost afraid that if she doesn't pay attention you may flutter away, never wanting to see her again. Her conduct never wavers, her shoulders never slouched, you have her full attention so long as the world allows it. She's more of a listener, and a good one at that.

❝I'm at ease to see you unscathed.❞

『 YOIMIYA 』 Always energetic, never quiet. Yoimiya is gleeful to indulge in conversation no matter how long it may be. She'd gladly push aside previous tasks if it means she can talk to you and hear you ramble.. though.. do forgive her, but Yoimiya sometimes has the habit of speaking over you due to her own excitement, all to keep the conversation rolling is all.

❝Wow it's great that you managed to dodge those pesky trees! Oh that reminds me of this one time—❞

『 YAE 』 No matter what words come out of your mouth, no matter the tone, Yae never fails to maintain the same courteous smile and body language; But her eyes, her eyes are rich with affection and when they crinkle ever so slightly you know, you know you have her enchanted. She listens and beckons you to keep rambling, this is the appreciation—the affection that she's been conditioned to conceal— finally being displayed.

❝My, if this is what transpires when we are apart then maybe I should find a way to keep you here..❞

『 KOKOMI 』 Despite the vastness of her being, and her insurmountable eloquence, socializing has never been Kokomi's forté. She finds catharsis behind mountains of literature and runny ink. She views social interaction as a battlefield of invisible trip wires. She's content with listening to you in pure silence, however the illustration of a battlefield still yields her mind, but with you.. it becomes a mere playful engagement.

❝It goes without saying, thunder and lightning cannot stop you Comrade!❞

『 SARA 』 Sara is the calm before the storm personified. Always tense, always silent. You wonder if she's listening, she's truly unreadable; liken to worn out pages within an unnamed diary. A cage unwilling to open. But inside, a creature, so tense, so silent, yet it hears you. It sings in response, almost desperate. But it hears you. She hears you. She is listening.

❝I see, let that transgression not delay your objective.❞

『 BAAL 』 You walk upon pins and needles when in her presence, this will never change. The words you speak will be filtered to her preference and this will never change. If it serves as a consolation she is listening to you—of course she is, because she allowed you to, you only speak because she allows you. This will never change.

❝You need not fear thunder and lightning, you need only fear its conductor.❞

『 KAZARI 』 Kazari ponders often, worries often. Why do you speak to her in the first place? She is filth condensed, a flickering rotting specimen soon to perish once the arrival of the Destined One makes way. She knows this, she is aware. But when you unravel your latest adventure to her, Kazari cannot help but wish to stay, Is that selfish? Is it selfish that she wishes to hear about your latest fixation? She ponders, what would her best friend say. she worries, for herself—you. What will you do when she's gone? Who will be there to hear you?

❝May we meet again.. for my heart prays for us a happy ending.❞

Whilst I'm mustering up some motivation: Tell me an embarrassing moment of yours (Anon or not, up to you) and I'll assign a Genshin character to you!
