genshin men at the beach!

characters: childe, itto + the arataki gang, thoma, xiao, zhongli

✦✦✦✦✦

childe

✦ this man wants to impress everyone, especially his siblings.

✦ lathered with sunscreen of the highest SPF he could find. he really hopes he didn't miss a spot.

✦ he takes to beach volleyball, definitely showing off and letting the competitive spirit get the better of him

✦ throws the ball up, runs up, jumps, BLASTS it his opponent's way. gets salty if they quit on him. (dude, no one wants to go to the ER over a beach ball 'accident')

✦ his demeanor changes dramatically if he's babysitting his younger siblings, though. becomes the coolest older brother – wanna gather crabs, or snails? he's already getting a bucket and scouring the beach for a perfect spot, playing it up for them like they're on a hunt. wanna build a sandcastle? he's helping them construct one that would put the best architect to shame.

arataki itto + the gang

✦ where do i even begin.

✦ itto's the one jacked guy wearing undies only, glistening with oil or sunscreen he made his gang apply onto him.

✦ does everything to impress his gang. constantly bothers shinobu, who's just trying to relax and sunbathe. she claims to not know any of them.

✦ at first he wants to surf, claiming that he's ridden waves at least three times larger than the ones he's about to.

✦ he does not, in fact, know how to surf.

✦ proceeds to make a fool of himself by spectacularly getting knocked off into the water, breaking one of the rentable surfboards in the process.

✦ doesn't want to tell shinobu, but to his demise, she's developed something of a sixth sense when it comes to the gang's troublemaking. and if she didn't, takuya or hanakado would inevitably tip her off.

✦ shinobu's wrath is inescapable. she pays for the broken surfboard out of her own pocket, seeing the gang's combined handful of mora on them. the gang is banned from surfing (or, rather, attempting to) until further notice.

✦ itto's plan B is to build sandcastles. a couple minutes later, he's challenged a group of kids to see who builds the best sandcastle. the arataki gang lost.

✦ in lieu of repaying the recent debt to shinobu, itto insists on earning some money on the beach.

✦ for a while, they set up fried lavender melon stands, courtesy of shinobu getting them a permit.

✦ archons forbid they somehow get their hands on a metal detector to try and sell some scrap. the beach becomes an excavation site, riddled with holes big enough to sit in. at least they're cleaning it up...?

thoma

✦ this man is too good for this world.

✦ probably checked if there's no crabs buried in the sand underneath the spot he picked, before settling down. if there are, he gently scoops them out and places them somewhere further away. manages to not get pinched like the chad he is.

✦ brought a picnic's worth of food, drinks and snacks to the beach.

✦ it is a picnic, actually.

✦ ayato didn't have the heart to tell him that this much food is unnecessary. thoma only just realized that, and laughed sheepishly.

✦ a solution presented itself when some kids caught a whiff of his amazing cooking and came by, asking if they could have some.

✦ he gladly shares with them, listening attentively as they tell him of their adventures on the beach, and all the cool things they found. he makes sure to pat each one on the head, praising them. in the end, this golden retriever of a man got adopted by a group of kids as their uncle lol

✦ cleans the beach as he goes, actually. notices how much trash there is, makes a mental note to himself to bring some proper equipment for it next time. thoma, please lie down, you're supposed to be relaxing :(((

xiao

✦ the actual cool guy itto and childe want to be.

✦ you know those mysterious, silent, brooding types of people, who capture your entire attention by just being there? yeah, that's him.

✦ he shows up at the beach with his surf board in hand, dressed in one those skin-tight black surf suits that cover his entire body nearly head to toe.

✦ turns a lot of people's heads, he's such a stark contrast to the casual, bright-colored aesthetic most beach-goers have.

✦ originally, he planned to surf in a different, much less populated spot - his go-to - yet sadly the waves were too small.

✦ lowkey annoyed at the large number of people on the beach, highkey annoyed at all the attention he's receiving.

✦ wastes no time getting into the water and onto an upcoming wave. he looks majestic, the way he's gliding through the waves. almost seems like he's flying.

✦ if he were to appear a couple more times, he'd definitely (to his dismay, should he learn about it) earn himself a corny-ass nickname from the regular beach-goers or stall owners, like "black angel" or "waveglider". and become somewhat of a local attraction, or a cryptid, even.

zhongli

✦ did... this man really bring a book to the beach? yes. yes he did.

✦ large straw hat, unbuttoned hawaiian shirt over a white tank top, shorts, and boom - you got yourself a grandpa Zhongli on the beach.

✦ he's also the type of person to wear flip flops to the beach.

✦ for a while he enjoyed the parasol's shade and the cool sea breeze, waves humming him to the state of drowsiness, despite the not-so occasional children's (and a particular oni's) excited yells.

✦ unfortunately, his would-be naptime was interrupted by a kid accidentally kicking a bunch of sand in his direction. at least it wasn't sea water :') with a deep sigh, he carefully shakes his book free of it, crosses his arms, and dozes off.

✦ takes long walks by the water, gathering pretty seashells, amber and seaglass. picks out pieces that remind him of his friends to give as gifts.

✦ wanderer meets klee ✦

random headcanons of wanderer interacting with other genshin characters, because i'll never be over him – part 1

✦✦✦✦✦

✦ what's with this annoying, lost child?

✦ she talks his ear off about her little escapades, dodoco, and all the people she likes, following him like a baby duckling would, oblivious to his growing irritation. imagine shrek and donkey. that's basically them.

✦ he tries to discourage her from tagging along, but all his snarky remarks (which are dulled down, since he can't bring himself to be cruel to a child. yes, i'm going to push my 'wanderer is actually great with kids once he realizes they're not that bad' agenda and you can't stop me) go right over her head. he will never admit that he's just a teeny, tiny bit grateful for that fact.

✦ as much as he hates it, he finds himself barking out a laugh at her story of fish blasting gone wrong, and decides he might as well enable a little chaos. that 'master jean' she speaks of sounds like a stuck up, obstructing klee's exposure to the world, and a kid like her needs to release the plentiful energy while she's still young and innocent.

✦ he proceeds to supervise watch in amusement as she decimates the local pond fauna. once he gets into it, encouraged by her giggles and squeals of pure joy, he might even show off by conjuring a fire tornado with the help of her bombs. or fly her around and let her bomb unsuspecting victims from above. local treasure hoarder group activity is effectively reduced to zero. if he wasn't already on her list of bestest people, he certainly is now.

✦ klee's childlike wonder and innocence bring out his inner child, who never really got to experience childhood. under his nonchalant façade, he's quite emotional because of this fact, i believe. meanwhile, wanderer doesn't baby klee - he talks to her in a matter-of-fact tone, lets her make mistakes and face the consequences. it's something he thinks is necessary for her to grow up strong and independent (he doesn't want her to get hurt like he did in the past).

he's my roman empire fr

feedback/suggestions are very much welcome!

random diluc headcanons because his skin has me ahgugfhhfheg

✦✦✦✦✦

✦ he's shredded under that coat of his. has stretch marks on the inner side of his biceps, and his arms are quite veiny.

✦ calves and thighs for days, my man never skips leg day

✦ he seems to never bring any luggage wherever he goes; he'd be traveling to another nation and not have a backpack, bag, or suitcase. truth is, he packed the bare minimum into his inner pockets.

✦ "no, let me do it" but (usually, unless it's the knights) not in a condescending way - he just wants the job to be done right, and even if he's off work and/or exhausted, he won't allow someone to mess up a task he knows he'd do better. no offense.

✦ recognizes the hard work someone puts in their job, even if their results aren't ideal, and makes sure to praise them accordingly (on the flip side, fiercely reprimands slackers)

✦ contrary to what one might think when looking at the dawn winery, diluc's quite minimalistic. from his personal belongings, to his frank matter of speech. if you for example asked him to make up a pen name on the spot, he'd stare at the paper blankly, before writing a simple "diluc"

✦ refuses to take off his coat even during the hottest days; claims that if he were to get attacked, the coat he'd be carrying would get in the way.

✦✦✦✦✦

random childe headcanons because i love him so much

✦✦✦✦✦

✦ scars, obviously. unless he has some sort of special ability or the fatui medics are just that good, i don't see why his model gets to be spotless.

✦ lots, lots of freckles. especially on his shoulders and arms! again, i imagine his skin to be quite a busy canvas.

✦ he's VERY tall and has a lanky build, you'd never guess he's physically strong; he's naturally skinny, not muscular – it's like his body is still growing into being constantly used for battle

✦ stretch marks, on his thighs and upper arms. when he fell into the abyss and trained under skirk, he'd gain a lot of muscle mass over a very short amount of time.

✦ LONG, unproportionately long legs

✦ his smile usually never touches his eyes.

✦ under some lighting his eyes appear really dark, almost black - it gives him a menacing look

✦ has a few white hairs in his eyebrows and scalp from prolonged delusion usage. gets jokingly whiny if someone jokes about him turning into a grandpa

✦ good at delicate handiwork, such as weaving flower crowns, braiding hair, sewing (comes with having siblings in a big family). it's not unlike his battle presence; swift, eager, focused. unfortunately, he's lost some of the dexterity he once had – he's not as great at it as he used to, due to calloused, war-stained hands. feels a pang of sadness if it crosses his mind.
