Yoon Seri is the rich aunt that takes you shopping 'til you drop. She'll give you a complete makeover and pay for it all despite your protests

"no, I'm not hearing another word about this, you're getting these twenty brand new custom fit outfits whether you like it or not"

And then you go to a trendy coffee shop and exchange the latest gossip as you people-watch and judge them over the most expensive gold-leaf-sprinkled espresso (of course it's good, it's Aunt Seri).

She'll give you the best advice on everything...and I mean everything. It might be a little questionable, but it’s good.

Seo Dan isn't the type to spoil you; she acts super cold, but you know you can come to her with anything. Someone break your heart? She's ready to break theirs. In fact you gotta physically pull her away from the door.

"Dan it's not that bad I'm going to be fine, stop you're going to do something illegal"

"ILLEGAL??? They broke your heart and you're worried about illegal?? What they did is illegal! How dare they break my niece/nephew's heart!"

She finally stomps away from the door with a huff and plops down on the couch next to you.

You don't get anything else done that night, but the next day on your doorstep you find a huge basket brimming with chocolates, loaded gift cards to all the top designer stores, and a beautifully elaborate, very pointy hairpin underneath it all. The note: "since you won't let me do it, you do it yourself. Aunt Dan has your back. Go break their heart."

You grin, and with that reassurance you head out to do just that.

Ri Jeong Hyeok is the clueless dad. Or, that's what he says. He's an amazing cook, pianist, and captain, but uh...dad? He tries his very best though, and you haven't told him yet, but you know he's already doing a better job than many dads out there. He would rather be there for you all the time, but he knows that's not possible, and that it's not healthy either. He teaches you everything he knows, how to diffuse a fight, and if worst comes to worst, how to finish it; how to play the piano (he teaches you all his favorite pieces); and how to cook and make the tastiest noodles from scratch. He cares about your mental health, he listens very carefully, and does his best to support you with it. He comes to all your activities, and maybe he's not jumping up and down and cheering at the top of his lungs, but you can look over at any time and he'll be beaming proudly at you. He knows you down to your favorite brand of toothpaste, and maybe it drives you crazy that he remembers everything you say, because some of it you'd rather he forget

"is that the person you like?"

"SHH DAD NOT ANYMORE"

but at the end of the day he's really the best dad you could ask for, and you love him anyway

Gu Seung Jung is that uncle that half the family doesn't know exists and the other half thought he came from the other side of the fam. Regardless, you can count on him to be at all your activities, cheering you on, and just being your top fan. He's the charmer, he knows what compliments you like and which ones you don't, and he'll pile all the ones you love on you until you have to tell him to stop (he'll pout about it for a while until Dan slaps him out of it). He also tries to cook for you, but ends up horribly burning the instant ramen (that one time with Dan was his only successful one and that was because she was watching him the entire time) so you have to go out for ramen instead. He's got your back, in the nonviolent way (don't tell Dan), and if you want it, just get him and Aunt Seri to unleash a scathing roast of your enemies. It's very entertaining.

genshin guys as figure skaters (& more) at the rink part 1:

characters: aether, albedo, alhaitham, ayato (& ayaka), baizhu, bennett, chongyun, cyno, dain, diluc, heizou, itto

disclaimer: all headcanons inspired by my own experiences as a former figure skater! honestly this started as just a "genshin tall guys as figure skaters" hc but then I added xiao and it just snowballed from there. there will be headcanons for the girls if there's interest!!

part 2:

-------------------------------------------------------

aether:

dain's student. late starter but seems to have a knack for skating. moving up pretty fast. just started nilou's ballet classes. actually pretty good at spins & quite flexible too.

albedo:

former competitive figure skater but mostly coaches now. does both Learn to Skate & private coaching. v patient & understanding. great with encouraging the more shy & hesitant kids.

alhaitham:

skating judge. only around for competitions & testing. hella intimidating. leaves v terse comments on tests. somehow, they're not as blunt as he looks. probably went to Worlds in his time.

ayato & ayaka:

extremely good pair skaters. everyone is in awe & lowkey fear of them whenever they're on the ice bc they're so focused & extremely fast. ayaka is super sweet off ice tho & besties with nilou. ayato has all the beginner skaters hanging over the boards wishing he was their partner instead.

baizhu:

medic. often gone on sick leave but always around for competitions. always has a cardigan on bc the building is hella cold, even in the lobby outside the rink. v kind but hopes no one will get injured so that there would be no need for him.

bennett:

in Learn to Skate. honestly probably shouldn't be on the ice but is trying his best. kaeya especially looks out for him. always encouraging the little kids & keeps a positive attitude.

chongyun:

just graduated to the freestyle ice!! unfortunately everyone there is extremely fast and scary. hugs the wall for dear life every time one (or two, in the case of our pair skaters) speeds by. actually started skating bc of his aunt shenhe, who used to figure skate. also takes nilou's classes.

cyno:

one of the guys working at the rink stores. usually the hockey store but occasionally the figure skating one as well. sharpens skates. will yell his bad dad jokes at people from across the lobby just to embarrass them (or maybe himself). also the guy jokingly twirling around & copying the ballet class outside their open door while they're practicing. actually surprisingly good at it.

dain:

serious af coach from Scandinavia or Russia or somewhere in Eastern Europe (no one knows). coached multiple Olympians in the past but has no current ones. scary af. only the really intense parents (the ones living vicariously through their kid) attempt to recruit as their child's coach. best of luck to them, since he only invites his students.

diluc:

arrives later & leaves earlier than kaeya (they drive separately). doesn't skate as often as his brother but has impeccable technique nevertheless. v consistent jumps. puts his waterbottle on whichever side of the boards that kaeya's isn't on. kaeya will move his own waterbottle over just to mess with him. iconic move is a beautiful spread eagle.

heizou:

that one guy from another rink who randomly shows up whenever his rink is closed for maintenance. still knows everyone despite not being a regular. super fun programs & does a lot of showcases.

itto:

hockey player. duh. did you think this guy figure skates. the little kids love him tho. probably the guy they call in for birthday parties.

genshin guys as figure skaters (& more) at the rink part 2:

characters: kaeya, kaveh, kazuha, tartaglia, thoma, tighnari, venti, wanderer, xiao, xingqiu, zhongli

disclaimer: all based on my own experiences & hc's as a former figure skater!

part 1:

-------------------------------------------------------

kaeya:

another of dain's students. practically lives at the rink. that one guy everyone has a crush on. one of the best singles skaters. menace on the ice in both senses of the term (v fast) (& teases everyone). stunning programs. teaches Learn to Skate classes on the side & is v good with the kids (klee's in his class). iconic move is his no-hands hydroblade & sassy high kick after landing his triple axel (no this is definitely not inspired by yuzuru hanyu haha what are you talking abt).

kaveh:

complains about the fading artistry from figure skating. v beautiful programs & extremely good at expressing emotion. the one who breaks down after his ending position in competition. unfortunately broke, so skates for a few weeks & then disappears for months on end. religiously takes nilou's ballet classes (does not help with the broke aspect but at least nilou loves him). iconic move is his stunning spiral.

kazuha:

from the same rink as heizou, but shows up even less frequently. still, his grace & flow is the envy of all. beidou's student (she commutes back & forth between the two rinks).

tart:

menace. clown. also practically lives at the rink. doesn't actually skate much during practice, but is somehow still v good. teases everyone. the reckless guy sprinting around the ice instead of skating. iconic moves are his high af Russian split jump & gravity-defying cantilever. occasionally helps out with Learn to Skate. god help the class who gets him & kaeya paired as teachers bc they are chaos incarnate.

thoma:

front desk guy. brings his dog to work. friendly af. everyone lowkey has a crush on him. will let regulars in for free when they run out of passes & forget money to pay for more. drives the zamboni.

tighnari:

the substitute medic when baizhu is on sick leave. kind but has little tolerance for stupid people. yells at the public skaters walking around on the unpadded areas & kids who kick their rental skates against the bleachers (damages the blades).

venti:

local musician. popular choice for program music; but everyone either hates or loves him since his songs are rather overplayed. shows up to all the competitions in horrible incognito (literally just a pair of sunglasses & the occasional fake mustache).

wanderer:

the kid who hates being there. grumpy af abt being forced to skate. is actually not bad tho, just really hard on himself. the person who keeps restarting his program music bc he messed up, even if it was small. secretly likes showing off. iconic move is his dramatic af spider lunge.

xiao:

zhongli's student. v v good & v fast. jumping machine, probably has quads. doesn't talk or smile much. rarely helps with the Learn to Skate program bc the kids are scared of him. iconic move is his biellmann spin since he's actually flexible enough for it.

xingqiu:

the supportive friend who comes to watch chongyun skate. always carries a book with him. chongyun is a little embarrassed but always glad to have xingqiu & the rest of the liyue squad cheering for him when he steps onto the ice for competition.

zhongli:

cool af older coach. probably won multiple Olympics & Worlds in his time but no one has any idea until they look him up online. everyone & their parent want him as a coach. fully booked tho so rather difficult to get lessons with him as a new student. rarely gets on the ice, mostly stands behind the boards & coaches from there. however, every time he does step onto the ice, everyone can immediately see the old Olympian in him.
