You and your companion came across a very ancient artifact that exchanged your elements.

Includes: Venti | Diluc | Kaeya | Albedo | Zhongli | Xiao | Childe

Venti and Zhongli- i dont know if elemental swap is possible for them since they’re the archons but lets just do this haha

Venti > Pyro

s t o p h i m

stop him before he terraforms the entirety of Mondtsadt again ksks

he’s basically an older version of klee

the moment he realized your pyro vision was swapped with his element

hoo boy- expect pyro explosions at every enemy

then there’s you

poor bby you had no idea what to do with your anemo

and you had no plans using the anemo any time because it will only make his flames larger

the entire duration of the swap you couldnt let the bard away from your sight lest another explosion goes on ksks

and whenever you accidentally summoned a storm

the bard would sing to you for you to calm down ~

Diluc > Hydro

surprisingly, the man was not that bothered with the hydro wrapping his claymore

in fact, he seems to appreciate the element opposite to his original element

but whenever he uses his burst- you shiver at your war flashbacks

oceanid

as for you, you were quite panicking about your new element because you’re literally vaporizing and you didnt like the rising heat

expect diluc to instantly be by your side to calm you down and try to douse the flames uwu

Kaeya > Geo

to say the least

both of you felt uncomfortable with your exchanged elements

you kept slipping on your own ice

and kaeya just kept hitting himself with the geo he accidentally summons

but the two of you eased to the elements- teaching each other how to grasp the basics

it was a learning process but the both of you kinda had a tender moment from it

when you got too cold from your ice the captain would instantly wrap his arms around you to warm you up

kaeya realizes that geo really fits you because you gave him a solid foundation for him to his ground his emotions for you <3

Albedo > Dendro

the two of you are in for an experiment!!

and albedo is actually pleased with the switch because now- he can understand the essence of life better with his new dendro vision!!

as for you

you’re actually quite having fun summoning his all famous elevator^^

when you accidentally slipped from the elevator- you expected a hard fall on your butt

but the pain never came

the alchemist summoned a verrrry soft flower to cushion your fall

and that flower was shaped in the form of your fave flower <3

this is so sweet im actually blushing myself too lmao

Zhongli > Electro

the two of you honestly didn’t know how to feel about your exchanged elements

but since you’re the curious type-

it kinda resulted to you accidentally and comically hitting the man with a geo shard

in playful retaliation the man zapped you back

again, your curiosity peaked!

“Hey zhongli!”

“Yes?”

“Is you meteor still gonna be a geo meteor now that you have electro?”

…

…

Now he’s curious too

You grinned

“Lets try it out!!”

And zhongli could only sigh at your chaotic curiosity

Xiao > Cryo

give his poor soul a break

he thought that- along with the exchange- his karmic debt carried over to you

but when you assured him that you’re fine- the yaksha is still worried

to prove that youre fine

you sent out a playful yet gentle wind to his way- ruffling his hair

not yet fully convinced but willing to go with your intentions- he too sent a small gust of snowflakes your way

you grinned at his response and soon enough

the two of you made your own snowy wonderland at the top of wangshu inn

Childe > Anemo

his twin blades go whooosh

dude this man will be itching for a fight to test out his anemo

but you didnt want others to get involved in your trouble so you had no choice but to fight him

while childe instantly got the gist of fighting with anemo

you on the other hand were soaking wet

then theres him laughing his ass off at your attempt to successfully cast water to him and you are pouting at him

the sight absolutely made you cuter and his heart exploded

On a quick note I wanna say that this is my personal headcanon, so please don’t go into the notes of my post to argue why I’m wrong. Although I completely welcome you to share your own points on why Albedo is autistic and your hc’s for him, I’d love to see your thoughts!!

Also! I still am only on friendship level one, so I don’t have much in depth information on him, but I will reach to my hearts content.

1. Special interest

Albedo’s number one in your face character trait is his intense interest in alchemy. His life is narrowed down to his research in pursuit of alchemy to the exclusion of everything else that doesn’t have to do with it.

He’s shown to have very little patience in things that don’t interest him, he loses his tact all together and doesn’t care if it’s obvious. He has great difficulty in making conversation that doesn’t have to do with his interests, and info dumps whenever possible. He literally constantly talks about alchemy. I am not complaining it’s very cute. Please listen to him.

And even in other areas of interest, it all devolves from his study of alchemy.

2. Flat effect/Bluntness

Another notorious trait of Albedo’s is his extremely monotonous voice and flat facial expression . The emotion in his voice is very muted and he’s very blunt and short spoken when conversing with people. I find this often gives him a bit of a rude impression. Although this isn’t intentional, he’s a very kind boy :)

3. Difficulty making and maintaining relationships

Albedo is shown to have a difficulty in making and maintaining relationships, as well as interacting with others. His main relationships are through teaching and with the traveller, again linking back to his special interest and comfort zone. He has difficulty having a conversation without turning it into a thesis. He seems to prefer to be alone and have his research done by himself.

He also seems to have a sense of loneliness and alienation.

(btw, this was the scene where I was like...this guy is for sure autistic. He is me now. I know this is referring to his backstory but *grabby hands*. Feeling like you’re from another world altogether is huge autistic feeling)

4. High logic and Muted emotional expression

I find Albedo thinks very logically and doesn’t have a solid grasp on how he’s feeling, and what he logically knows he should be feeling and how he should react. Only after Paimon and the traveller point out that his sketch book has great emotional significance to him, he reconsiders. But even then he understands it as something tedious to be done rather than the connection and love it has. He expresses and reacts in a different and muted way.

Although this is a lot of me projecting, I have a hard time in the discrepancy between what I’m feeling, what I think I logically should be feeling, and how I express that. So Albedo is now my therapy lmao.

5. Getting along better with a different age group

This definitely isn’t a set autistic trait, but I see it very commonly in the autistic community. In my experience as a child I felt that I fit in and got along with adults more than children my age, and then as I got older I had an easier time with people younger than me. I find that Albedo is very reminiscent of this. He has a much easier time conversing and understanding children and has a patience for them he doesn’t show with adults.

Conclusion

This wasn’t well written but I wanted to get my thoughts out as quick as possible. And if you read this thank you :)

I dunno im just craving sk much sweetness haha i Hope this made sense though :")

not @ me trying to take a picture of a red roof for 10 minutes 🤦🏻‍♀️ i don't think it's super fluffy and more on the crack-ish side (let's pretend i'm funny), but i hope you'll still enjoy these hcs. childe is under the cut ✨

Xiao

↠ At first, Xiao shows very little to no interest in the camera. It was just another device a human couldn't handle, so why should he figure out how it works? 

↠ "Adepti shouldn't concern themselves with such a waste of time. Our time is precious."

↠ But you insist that it could be fun to discover how that thing works and after a bit of bugging, Xiao gives in to your request in joining you picture hunting. 

↠ Instead of photographing harmless things like flowers or ore, you just had to go for ruin guards, hilichurls and those damned fatui. Xiao sighed, wondering why you were willing to take such a risk for a mere photograph.

↠ Humans, Xiao will never understand. 

↠ Despite Xiao's objections and refusal to take pictures, he always has your back and is ready to obliterate whatever has caught your eye. 

↠ Talking of obliterating enemies..

↠ "Just one more photo from the front! It's gotta look..aesthetically pleasing or something."

↠ "You could also admit that you don't know what you're doing instead of mindlessly running into danger."

↠ Just then, you see that an archer hilichurl points an arrow at you, charging it with electricity. 

↠ Xiao is quick to take it out and gives you a fair scolding on your way back to Liyue. He's just worried about you and taking photographs leaves you rather vulnerable. 

↠ At one point, attempts to take a picture of you but the camera doesn't go off. "Useless stuff," he grumbles and loses the last spark of interest he could possibly have. 

Whenever I write these it’s always when I have a pile of requests on my desk that I said I was going to get to but never do. I even missed a day yesterday because I crashed and burned and slept the entire day haha. Might miss today too since I’m going out to see my mum. 

This is like 90% crack and 10% actual content. I’m gonna post this and proceed to have shock therapy and wipe it from my memory.

I just want to be happy and it’s cold af where I live. I’ve also learned from maagdalen that Russia is insane with snow.

Today’s appreciation post goes to asoundofdrop. Ty for the love on the Childe HCs hehe. Honestly, just the fact you tag everything blows my mind because I hate tagging so just seeing you do it with my mess of tags (back when I screamed my feelings before tumblr dropped the ban hammer on me) is like wow. That’s some next level effort, wish I had that haha;; I’m just gonna say this in advance, I am so sorry for the mess of tags I’m about to drop on this.

Xiao

Excuse me? What is this cold you speak of? He’s an adepti he doesn’t know what cold is. Is it a demon he’s not aware of? Should he go beat it into submission if that’ll make you feel better? He’s already gone with his spear and out to go slay this cold demon before you can explain what the hell temperature is. 

By the time he’s back, he seems so proud of himself for killing a dragonspine yeti that you don’t have the heart to tell him that was literally not what you wanted or expected him to do. Your fingers are about to break their finger kneecaps. pLEASE sir just hold my hand. 

Bad idea, he’s been outside in the cold and he’s not exactly wearing mittens so your fingers end up colder. But you’re finally holding his hand that you suck it up and cry when he does actually break your fingers because he doesn’t know what muscle control is. 

Keqing

Ruthless business woman one second and then you show up, tell her you’re cold, and she’s reduced to flustered mother hen. All she has on her are these long sleeves that all Qixing wear. Would you like some warm milk? She knows you like your milk heated to a simmer right at 187.7975 degrees Fahrenheit.

Okay, first off, who measures in fahrenheit anymore this is China Liyue. Second off, how the hell does she know that and why is it so precise? She’s already throwing whatever Liyue duties she had back at the poor worker that has no idea what possessed the normally confident and admirable Keqing into this…creature. Making new plans for a heating system in Liyue while also coddling you. 

Catch her outside at 3am pounding the snow ground, crying, as she curses Rex Lapis for making it so cold in Liyue when he’s not even the Cyro archon. Zhongli sneezed while looking over papers burning the 3am oil. Maybe he needs to go home before it gets too cold, he might be getting sick. 

Diluc

God you’re such an idiot. Didn’t you see how hard the snow was falling? I can’t believe I married someone with 2 braincells. Are you trying to give me a heart attack? What would father in the sky think if my partner died because of frost bite when I’m a goddamn pyro vision user? I can commit arson to make a make-shift fire place, I have the money for the damages. 

Dilu- NO I DON’T NEED YOUR SHIRT. IT’S -20 DEGRESS. IT’S OKAY. YOUR COAT IS ENOUGH. PUT YOUR CLAYMORE AWAY WE CANNOT SET THE KNIGHTS OF FAVONIUS HQ ON FIRE WE AREN’T EVEN NEAR THERE. KAEYA IS INSIDE- DILUC - NO COME BACK. 

Your make shift fireplace is Kaeya’s “ugly” scarf. That’s it. That’s the post. 

Amber

Oh you’re cold? It’s okay, here take her baron bunny to cuddle with while she lights a fire. She thinks she saw some boar’s in the forest, she can make her specialty and that should warm you right up! So sweet, so wholesome. Don’t worry this baron bunny won’t explode in your face, she tripled checked she wasn’t giving you a dancing bomb.

While you’re huddled around a summoning circle of baron bunny’s, nice and warm, is when she relaxes and joins you. She grins to herself and pats herself on the shoulder. See that haters, she can make her partner nice and happy without your #buffamberwhen. 

Kaeya

You’re cold? Maybe you’ve just fallen so hard for him that whenever you think of him you get cold. He never knew you cared so much it’s so cut- okok you can stop hitting him now. He’ll offer his scarf if he had one but Diluc might have burned it but he does have his tit window. 

Basically impenetrable, you could bounce bullets off it so naturally the cold bounces off. You have to tell him up front that he sound borderline crazy and the fbi are already at his door. The fbi is Diluc. So instead he offers his overcoat and asks you if you would like to join him in some cozy tavern that hopefully has heating. 

It’s a nice and comforting experience until he drags you to Angel share and you know it’s just to 1v1 Diluc in the parking lot. 

Scaramouche

lol perish 

So naturally, you grab his ridiculous hat that he wears to compensate for his gremlin height and throw it like a frisbee. 

Go fetch 

—

God, why is there no official content of you scaramouche you bitch, you’re ruining the aesthetic. This is why I only give you one point of dialogue. This isn’t even funny. It’s a therapy session. This entire post was just for me to say tit window because I didn’t get to say it in my last Kaeya fic. 

Wow, I wonder which characters I like in genshin. Could it be “wow I hate everything and everyone don’t fucking touch me” male characters??? Could it be “Head strong but are secretly adorable” female characters?? Kaeya is only there because Diluc is there. 

OHSHFM PERFECT FIT FOR

XIAO

albedo: this sword is very cursed! very lethal! its forger died at its hands! only you can wield it, traveler!

diluc: hot ceo of a company and you're his secretary who's getting bossed around all the time and you hate his guts but oh nooooo you get drunk and sleep with him!

kaeya: the rebellious shady sibling of the hot ceo and he's actually just very misunderstood. he pulls you out of work to have make out sessions in the storage room.

razor: misunderstood feral delinquent who pets puppies whenever he comes across one and he actually has a really cute smile but y'all just haven't seen it. he comes to save you when some disgusting pervert tried hitting on you.

bennett: that one trope where the clumsy girl trips and falls on some guy and accidentally kisses him on the lips—except in this case, bennett is the clumsy one and you're the unfortunate(?) victim whose first kiss got stolen.

venti: that friend in college who always crashes at your apartment and treats it like his own home. then he actually moves in to live with you. a very typical roommates to lovers drama. with a lot of beer. and drunken confessions.

chongyun: you swear he hates you. he glares at you every time you see him, and he always turns away like nothing happened. sike! he actually likes you a damn lot, and he gets embarrassed when you catch him staring. he just has a resting bitch face, unfortunately.

xingqiu: the popular guy notices wallflower trope! he gets tired of acting like a perfect guy in front of everyone else, and his safe haven is the library. you're a sweet, shy bookworm and you bond by talking about books! he loves seeing you chatting excitedly about things you like. (he would def kiss you in public with a book covering your faces.)

zhongli: another hot ceo but this time you're poor and homeless so he offers you a job as a house caretaker in exchange for a room in his big ass mansion. but then you start to fall for him and- what? he has a fiancee abroad?? how come you didn't know that??? (rags to riches at its finest.)

childe: ENEMIES TO LOVERS FOR SURE. this mofo seems like he doesn't study at all but he tops the exams every single time. meanwhile, you're a very hardworking college student who studies 24/7 and you get second EVERY DAMN TIME. it's unfair. very unfair. he was out there partying on friday while you freaked over finals, how is he getting higher marks than you. it ends up as a one-sided rivalry and he wonders why you glare at him every time he waves hi at you. then one day at the library, he sees you struggling on a particular topic, and he offers to tutor you at his house. you think he's planning something bad but then you get to his house and- oh? he has younger siblings? and they're both cute??? and they're so fun to play with and they want to see you more????? and you get to see the nice brotherly side of him??? you start visiting his house regularly, BUT YOU SWEAR YOU VISIT FOR THE KIDS, NOT HIM, NO MA'AM- THAT LUNCH HE COOKED FOR YOU MIGHT BE THE TASTIEST THING YOU'VE EVER EATEN BUT YOU WON'T BE SWAYED- yeah ok you're making out on his couch now

xiao: the quiet kid in class everyone is scared of but all the girls are attracted to the 'mysterious' aspect to him. you don't really get the appeal until he offers to walk you home on a rainy day when you forget your umbrella, and buys you coffee when he notices you seem too sleepy in class, and then he brings you some medicine when you're sick and shares you his notes from the lectures you missed- ok FINE he's a lot nicer than he looks, but he's just a good friend, that doesn't mean you'll fall for him- ok shit he literally has the prettiest smile on earth AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT YOUR PERSONAL MISSION TO BRING A SMILE TO HIS FACE EVERYDAY-

albedo: that one smart guy in class you'd expect to have detailed notes but he refuses to lend them to anyone so no one really knows for sure. the reason? he actually has a crush on you and doodles your portrait in class on the same page with his notes whenever he feels bored and he doesn't want anyone to see them. one day, he conveniently drops his notebook in the hallway and you pick it up for him, but oh? what's this? is that a drawing of your... sleeping face?! you are beyond mortified and he freezes in place when he sees you with the notebook. no, you're not mortified ‘cause you're creeped out by the thought of him drawing you——you're only mortified because he stared at you while you unknowingly drooled on your desk. (you'd tell him you make a pretty damn horrible model and he should look for prettier people to draw, but he'd argue you're the prettiest person he knows.)

In genshin impact, I ship you with...

Albedo!
