Whats One Random Headcanon About Your Muse That People Mightnt Know? (for Both Chongyun And Kami)

What’s one random headcanon about your muse that people mightn’t know? (for both Chongyun and Kami)

for chongyun

i wouldn't say it's not well known, but it doesn't get the attention i WANT it to get. but chongyun has an earring! i really liked drummer!chongyun aesthetic, especially the tassel earring he's got. so, i took that earring and applied it to any verse i shove chongyun into. he has an earring, and i also headcanon that when he and xingqiu traded tassels, they also made sure both tassels were earrings.

chongyun also, blog canonically, has hair long enough to pull into a ponytail. it's not a super long one, but it's long enough that there's enough hair to pull back and keep out of his face! (he also has mini fangs because i said so.)

for kaminari

kami is a HUGE reader. he loves getting lost in a good book. but even further than that, if kami favors a person well enough, and they have a favorite book, his love language is taking that book and getting it rebound to something far more extravagent and beautiful. he probably did that for cyno and cyno's 'king of invocations' book, at least the first one.

kami doesn't show very many ways in which he does care, still having several walls up. but there ARE little ways in which he's like "you mean something to me, have a special edition book."

have a really funny headcanon that I have to share concerning arlecchino's ceremony.

my man scaramouche did NOT want to be here. he was probably forced to show up in uniform, minus the hat for respect. (maybe also a little bit of curiosity, wanting to see who the new knave was.) my guess is pierro threatened him, and scaramouche showed up, dressed as disrespectfully as he could get away with. mans was READY to vanish the second he could. he has things to do and people to monologue to, he doesn't have time to entertain his cohorts.

chongyun is a sleepy guy.

as often as they torment themself by adopting a nocturnal lifestyle, chongyun also very much values sleep. as such, he can be found sleeping almost anywhere, especially if it's during the day. up a tree, in a corner, behind a building, hard or soft surfaces, doesn't matter.

chongyun is also a heavy sleeper, so good luck waking them.

the plus side is they don't sleep in very long bursts. chongyun will sleep for a couple of hours at a time, wake up for another quite a few hours, before sitting down and dropping off again. it's a weird sleep schedule, but it works for chongyun, and it helps them stay on the go.

𝐖 𝐄 𝐈 𝐑 𝐃   𝐇 𝐄 𝐀 𝐃 𝐂 𝐀 𝐍 𝐎 𝐍 𝐒

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐌𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐋𝐈𝐊𝐄:  incense, the scent of rain, there’s also the faint scent of paint.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐏:  Chongyun stays up for half the night, and sleeps for half the day. They can be found outside most of the time, either curled up in a cave, up a tree, or nearby some ruins. Chongyun is a heavy sleeper and tends to be on their back, unless they’re sitting up. In which case, they are cross-legged with their head bowed.

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐂 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐄𝐍𝐉𝐎𝐘:  Typically, Yun Jin’s music. It’s a lot more tolerably than the rock music Xinyan plays. It’s more gentle, easier on their yang energy, and it helps that yun jin is incredibly gifted, so Yun genuinely enjoys her performances.

𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐌𝐔𝐂𝐇 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐃 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐆𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐘:  Depending on where they were at night. If at home, then awhile. Chongyun’s clothes require some effort to put on, being that they’re also equipped with extra flair to help ward off spirits, as well as keeping them cooler during the day. If Chongyun is already out and about, then hardly any, as he’s already dressed.

𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐂𝐓:  Chongyun doesn’t really collect anything. Though if you count the clan as a whole, then talismans and weapons. Chongyun has his main weapon that he carries everwhere, but he also has a small collection of other claymores sitting at home that are just as hardy and sharp, just not as nicely decorated.

𝐋𝐄𝐅𝐓 𝐎𝐑 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓-𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃:  I haven’t thought about this, probably left handed. (mun has a bias for left-handedness as they are also left handed.)

𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓(𝐒): Martial arts. Chongyun would probably favor fighting competitions to see everyone’s prowess with hand-to-hand combat, though he wouldn’t attend/participate very often. 

𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐎 𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆:  Checking with the locals to see what nearby hauntings are like. Also, exploring abandoned homes and ruins. Not even for potential hauntings, but because Chongyun genuinely enjoys exploring.

𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑: Rain/thunderstorms.  Anything cold/dark, really.

𝐖𝐄𝐈𝐑𝐃/𝐎𝐁𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐇𝐀𝐕𝐄: That their yang energy is going to be a curse instead of a condition. Curse, because Chongyun fears that one day he will actually lose control and hurt someone he cares for.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐕𝐀𝐋/𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐆𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐋: whack-a-mole. Quick reflexes and a watchful eye make for lots of tickets won.

it feels like hours pass by. kami's throat is sore, his eyes STING, and yet, when he finally looks up, it's only been mere minutes. he knows he looks like a mess, kami FEELS like he needs a long dunk in the bath.

but looking at ren has kami feeling guilty. not over ren's actions, not because he'd yelled, but because he also made ren cry. they're both that far gone, huh?

kami isn't sure where he wants to go from here. to HUG his cousin and have an official reunion? or to give each other space for a bit? there are way too many thoughts and questions swirling around in his mind, but nothing that settles to give him a direction. he sits for a few seconds, really taking the time to study his cousin. first, he's looking at that ugly flower pot.

not that kaminari can JUDGE ― his amethyst elephant is certainly no better (and on display right next to his television), but the fact that the pot is bedazzled has kami wondering exactly what ren did in his spare time. kami is even scanning the room for a place to PUT said plant, since it clearly means something to his long lost cousin.

he wonders if ren is tired. kami DOES have a spare bedroom that rarely gets used. there's not really a bed in there ― more of a futon type bed, but it'd work for now until he could help ren get settled in more. there's at least bedding to use. could ren use his own shower?

he's slowly getting back to his feet, making a mental note to splash water on his face in a little bit, once he helps ren feel settled. kami is no stranger to keeping himself shut away; he's certain his neighbors just think he's a recluse. which, REALLY isn't too far from the truth.

"ren." kami's voice is hoarse now, so he clears his throat, before moving awkwardly toward the hall closet. "do you...uh." he grabs a towel and tosses it toward his cousin. "...want to like. you know. clean up? i have some spare clothes i can lend you for now."

he hadn't noticed any particular smell, though that could also be shock clouding his mind. the towel lands on the floor, and kami stares at it for a few seconds. "the. uh. the spare bedroom is..." he trails off, but jerks with his thumb. "i have a futon in there, if you want to rest for awhile too. you're probably exhausted."

this is so AWKWARD. he's completely forgotten how to talk to ren, and it's even more awkward trying to pretend they both haven't just been sobbing on the floor together. but kami wants to return to feeling normal.

(WHAT EVEN IS NORMAL ANYMORE?)

"why don't you take a shower? i'll leave the clothes in the spare― in your room, and i'll make us something to eat, unless you're not hungry." he still has so many questions. kami wants to know EVERYTHING. he wants to hug ren and never let go. but maybe it can all wait until they've both had a chance to settle down and clear their minds.

he's  bracing  for  rejection  —  because  OF  COURSE  he  is.  the  hacker  is  a  pessimist  by  nature,  yet  in  all  fairness,  life  has  given  him  very  few  reasons  to  assume  otherwise.  it's  always  better  to  prepare  oneself  for  betrayal  and  heartache  than  allow  those  feelings  to  attack  him  completely  unguarded.  (  and  assuming  anything  EVER  goes  right,  he  can  be  pleasantly  surprised.  )  naturally,  he  expects  kaminari  to  be  no  different.  he'll  throw  him  out.  he'll  curse  him  for  daring  to  show  his  face  again  —  perhaps  he  was  even  happier  with  ren  gone.  closure  is  all  well  and  good ...  but  appearing  now  only  really  serves  to  REOPEN  old  wounds,  regardless  of  his  intent.  it  was  selfish  of  him  to  think  otherwise.  so  selfish  —  all  the  while  having  the  audacity  to  claim  his  actions  come  from  a  place  of  care  without  having  the  courtesy  to  offer  even  an  OUNCE  of  context.  he's  disgusting.  he's  wretched.  he's  evil.  he's ...  he's  spiraling.

six  months  trapped  with  only  his  own  head  for  company  haven't  exactly  been  PLEASANT.  on  some  level  ren  is  aware  of  that  —  but  he's  never  been  forced  to  truly  confront  how  bad  it's  gotten  until  that  very  moment.  breaths  are  coming  shallow  and  quick.  his  heart  feels  like  it's  trying  to  claw  its  way  out  of  his  throat.  he's  dizzy,  and  kaminari's  reply  barely  registers  in  his  ears  —  until  a  single  word  cuts  through  the  haze  of  self-loathing  like  cold  steel.

stay.  (  stay?  )  he  actually  WANTS  him  to ...

there's  an  audible  THUMP  as  ren's  knees  hit  the  ground.  he  feels  like  a  puppet  whose  strings  have  been  sliced  clean  through.  the  hacker  at  least  has  enough  sense  to  place  his  flower  pot  somewhere  off  to  the  side,  but  the  movements  feel  hazy  and  dreamlike  —  disconnected  from  everything  else  around  him.  ❝  i ... ❞   words  fizzle  and  fade  on  his  tongue.  he  finally  forces  himself  to  look  at  kaminari  —  blinking  in  disbelief  at  the  sight  that  greets  him.  for  one  fleeting  moment,  understanding  clicks  neatly  into  place;  he's  crying,  over  him.  (  actually  CRYING.  )  that  on  its  own  is  jarring  enough,  guilt  squeezing  his  ribcage  painfully.  he  wants  to  tell  him  —  wants  to  explain  EVERYTHING.  what  he  knows,  what  he  saw.  what  compelled  him  to  do  something  so  dramatic  to  begin  with  —  but  none  of  it  feels  like  it  would  absolve  the  other  of  his  pain.  ren  just  wanted  to  protect  him.  ren  still  wants  to  protect  him  —  and  if  nothing  else,  this  entire  exchange  only  serves  as  further  motivation  to  keep  him  safe.  kaminari  deserves  a  life  free  of  TROUBLES,  without  the  sins  of  their  family  hanging  over  him  like  a  dark  cloud.

a  blink,  and  ren  realizes  his  vision  is  going  blurry.  there  are  tears  dripping  freely  down  his  own  face  —  traitorous  things,  like  the  physical  manifestation  of  his  own  WEAKNESS.  the  hacker  tugs  his  hood  up,  trying  to  cover  himself  as  best  he  possibly  can.  there's  a  tremor  running  through  his  body  so  fierce  his  teeth  feel  like  they're  chattering  and  he  curls  his  fingers  so  tightly  into  the  fabric,  it  feels  like  it's  about  to  tear.   ❝  thank  you. ❞   he  manages  to  choke  out,  if  only  BARELY.

❝  ...  thank  you. ❞  for  letting  him  stay.  for  actually  caring,  even  in  spite  of  his  many  (  many  )  imperfections.

Chongyun probably shouldn't have insinuated she'd yell. He's used to getting on the wrong side of people though, or perhaps that's just his own perception of the world. Hu Tao is really easy-going on a good day, and at worst, she expresses disappointment. Time to trip over his words, on TOP of being tired.

"Not yell, exactly," Chongyun tries to explain. "Maybe that'd be more Xingqiu? I don't know anymore. I just know I feel guilty when I push myself. I know I shouldn't? But sometimes I forget."

He pauses to wipe his mouth. Not that he's doing anything gross, but his mouth feels dry, and Chongyun wonders if he's thirsty. No, he DEFINITELY is. It's been over an hour since he had a drink, and he can feel slightly shaky.

Chongyun also feels the yang energy pulsing dully in the back of his mind. It's suppressed for now, but it probably won't be forever. "I'll take a break, I promise. I just need to get something to eat, and then I'll probably go take a nap just outside the city, where it's grassy and cool."

He should probably go sleep in his own bed, but ― the thought of getting under his bedding and getting unnecessarily warm doesn't sound appealing to him.

"Thanks, Hu Tao." He offers her a smile. "I'm glad you understand me better than others."

@oficeandwind / Chongyun (cont.) "I napped," he continues to explain, hastily. "Please don't yell at me, I know this is a terrible habit. People just keep commissioning me, and I hate to let them down." Chongyun makes a mental note to sleep later, or at least take an extended nap. He has a feeling that if not Hu Tao, then Xingqiu definitely would.

Sure  it  was  on  a  whim  that  she  wanted  to  visit  the  exorcist.  After  all,  Chongyun  was  a  close  friend.  It  was  upon  arriving  she  noticed  those  signs.  Dark  circles  under  the  eyes.  A  hasty,  jitteriness  in  his  mannerisms.  The  slow  finger  counting.  Hu  Tao  scrunched  up  her  face  slightly  knowing  very  well  how  exhausting  insomnia  could  be.  She  saw  it  in  her  clients  who  experienced  restlessness  nights  due  to  either  a  haunting  or  unpleasant  nightmares.

"Two  nights???"  while  her  voice  didn't  exactly  raise,  there  was  a  hint  of  concern  from  the  funeral  director.  Her  expression  soon  softened  and  she  let  out  a  sigh.  "Aiyaaa…What  makes  you  think  I'm  going  to  yell  at  you?"  she  asked.  The  question  almost  sounding  rhetorical.

With  that  Hu  Tao  took  a  spot  to  sit  beside  him.  In  truth,  she  had  been  feeling  tired  herself.  The  idea  of  not  wanting  to  let  others  down  was  too  relatable.  "I  would  be  an  absolute  hypocrite  if  I  told  you  to  stop  staying  up  so  late  at  night.  But  still,  you  should  at  least  give  yourself  a  break  once  in  a  while.  Those  commissions  can  wait,  right?"

Actually  Hu  Tao  knew  that  it  wasn't  too  easy  to  solve.  She  could  sense  his  yang  energy  had  just  crashed  or  was  about  to.  "I  do  understand  your  work  is  important,  Chongyun.  But  you  can  do  it  effectively  if  you  push  yourself  too  much"
