    Hi so I already read this forever ago but I don't think I ever left a comment.

    Venti and Jean. Are one of my all time favourite dynamics. And I have such an uncommonly particular take on them, I think, which is why I so so so appreciate how much you've nailed that dynamic. I well and truly love Venti when he's at his most pathetic, but I also well and truly love Jean when she's at her most maternal. I love the dichotomy of her either needing or chosing to take care of him when he fails to take care of himself, and seeing how small he is, seeing him when he's vulnerable (which he so rarely is), and taking responsibility for him. In small or large ways, caring for him, while also being so acutely aware that this soggy little thing is her archon.

    I love how those two truths can coexist with Jean. That Venti is a tiny little thing that ought to be protected, and also her archon who she loves dearly and respects. It just... makes me so warm and fuzzy. This may truly be one of my all time favourite genshin dynamics.
