#corrupt Venti au

[bahbzxxx]

Before anybody gets confused…THIS IS NOT CANON IN THE SLIGHTEST.

THIS. 👏IS JUST. 👏AN EXCUSE. 👏TO SIMP FOR VENTI. 👏WHILE MAKING IT. 👏AS COMPLICATED. 👏AND DRAMATIC. 👏AND CONVOLUTED. 👏AS POSSIBLE.

In short, this is just a silly little au.

👏

I did this all in one sitting so yes thank you my grammar is atrocious

So let’s consider harbinger Venti’s situation.

Because in BarbzLANDIA, He’s canon now. Don’t @ me he moved into my silly little brain with his thousands of suitcases that he stuffs in his hat somehow and I kinda need his rent money🙄🤌💸

So consider the following:

How tf are people going to react to lord Barbatos then?

- The fatui would be petty, sis. The more mondstadt thinks they’ve been abandoned by their archon of freedom in exchange for this new wackadoodle OP harbinger, the more people will loose faith in him as their archon and not only will he lose power, but he will gain disappointment.

We Venti stans already know this poot likely Carries way more guilt and truama and depression than he lets even the traveler in on…so this is why it pleases the higher ups of the fatui and abyss to see this happen, especially since HES now the harbinger who’s ruining everything.

(Don’t you just want to spit on them and hurl sheakspearean insults at them?) (I know I would!!!!!and that’s just the start!!!)

(Why am I so mad at fanon depictions of characters I am making I will never know, but in the meantime, we tread on)

Timing? - what’s mondstadt like? What about our favorite characters? Tf they up to?

Like, it already had fatui and stuff so it would all just be blown way out of proportion. Like, imagine the fatui have been in there longer…(I think I made an imagine post a few months ago where mondstadt is suffering because Venti got *officially infected*, and because he’s the wind, the weather and much more is affected…so the fatui…they kinda just…infiltrate casually over decades, at least until they can catch the anemo archon at his lowest and have that power over him)

For the most part, at the point that I’m thinking the story would take place… fatui soldiers and the knights of favonius have basically melded into one group. Those who didn’t like the change and could leave left…but some people couldnt, for the good of Mondstadt.

The church of favonius, as time goes on, gets a lot of flack for supporting a god who clearly no longer cares or maybe even exists, in the eyes of the people who have seen it’s fall.

(It’s been rumored that, though it is rumored he is of mondstadt descent…the recent lord harbinger in residence has not stepped foot in that cathedral.-could he be ashamed of his actions…or is there something bigger behind this?)

(Maybe I’ll get to my ideas for other characters in a different post but y’all know where diluc is goin’)

(He’s going to the swimming pool. He’s gonna go swimming, and then will get a slushie. What he doesn’t finish he will give to his pet bird. His bird likes grape. He doesn’t. They will feud. He will appease the bird and give him grape. He will then get a la croix. Then he will go home and stream BNHA and act like hes todoroki, only to stop for obvious, blaringly obvious, reasons. That will be all. We tread on.)

What is the extent of Venti’s power in this? Would he have any at all?

Though he knows they do it to taunt him, he actually does.

His wishlist is simple-

1. Mondstadt is safe.

And those with power over him know that. They also know he may be more powerful than them…but he actually has class, and thinks before he acts.

So…they actually kind of trust him to be a good harbinger. They let him run mondstadt the way he see fit…he can’t just leave and give them freedom…

It Iitersll sucks cause he has to be the tyrant so that nobody else will be the tyrant and do worse things…

As long as it serves the Tsaritsa and her plans. If not…trust he will be dealt with 😥

(More on that here maybe)

Though many statues of the seven have been defunct for a while, he would still be able to gain his own power from at least one…because technically, they already have his gnosis. It just so happens that it’s still inside of him. They have him wrapped around their finger by this point…

Misc: necessary to include

Venti would be so trusted by the fatui at this point that they put him in charge of Childe. No…childe does not bump up a place. He’s still 11.

You can imagine how interesting their interactions would be.

(You can imagine how offended he is)

Diluc is the token fugitive before the traveler and posse(posse being paimon and the Windblume in question) shows up in mondstadt looking for their sibling

So, uh, hi. haven't posted anything here for a hot minute

anyway, I'm writing a Corrupt Venti AU fic

never written a fanfic before, so don't expect incredible writing

"Dude, I think the game is glitching and that character's files seemed to be corrupted..."

Translation on the second picture: "We are always watching you."

Based on Self-Aware Genshin Impact AU and Faceless Ayato trend.

This one took me like days and my drawing app crashing to do this, for like 10 times and at risk of losing my progress due to the tendency for the app to crash and affect the file, that I have to restore it by replaying the speedpaint video the app had made.

The language in the Mondstadt-Teyvatian script that was shown in-game, and was made into a font by StationaryCottage from Reddit.

Feel absolutely free to ignore this, but after the corrupt!xiao fic I’m curious: got any corrupt venti thoughts you’re willing to share?

Corrupt!Venti AU

DISCLAIMER: the rest of this is just an AU setting! not canon-compliant + may reference SPOILERS in general for the archon quests and genshinlore

"My dear warrior, have you come to devote your voice to me?

Don't worry now! I'll make sure to put it to good use. With my help, your story will never fade from the songs of time. That is what my love can promise you. Have I ever led you astray?"

I can see this being caused by the defiled statue the Traveler found a while ago! Along with some other attempts from the Abyss to weaken the Anemo Archon's power...

Perhaps in this AU, Venti tried going against the summoning of archons to Khaenri'ah, which led to a warning/consequence from Celestia; tying the entrance to Celestia somewhere on Mondstadt, so that if their enemies were to seek it out, he would be placed under the burden of protecting them, for if not, Mondstadt would too be run down (punishing a god for his kindness... things like that)

ANYWAYS, in this case, I think if the Abyss did manage to weaken him enough, he'd probably sense his own corrosion coming and put Mondstadt into a timeloop as a last means of keeping his people safe + keep out the Abyss?

It takes the last of his power and he leaves to the outskirts, where he hides away in a hidden domain to 'rest', but of course he can't stave away the corrosion forever, and it takes form.

You're within Mondstadt during this timeloop, and are eventually led to the hidden domain because you're the only one that can hear a mysterious song calling out to you

Cue corrupted!Venti luring you in, because by now, he's not exactly himself anymore - dark purple energy replacing his previous anemo teal powers and the shade of his eyes

But it's Venti, and even if he's forgotten about his nation by now (only that they're locked away to keep them safe, in the illusion of freedom and peace), he remembers you.

...Well, he remembers his attachment to you, and asks if you'd like to stay with him there, in that domain. If you lend him your voice, perhaps he can figure out a way to keep you with him forever too! (Read: do not, he is stealing your voice as a source of power to use)

But perhaps even this is because a part of himself deep down remembers how he loved to hear you calling his name, laughing with him, and the way you used to look at him with...

"Is that fear in your eyes?" Venti hums, circling around you with lightness in his steps. He's in his archon form, wings brushing against your shoulder. You try not to think about the last time he showed you this form - back when it was a secret between the both of you, under clear skies and teal feathers that made your heart soar. The purple that cuts into your gaze sobers you. "Would you prefer if our new home was more reminiscent of old times?"

New home, as if he's already decided you aren't leaving now that you've found your way to him again. You briefly wonder if there's any ounce of the old Venti still in there, and if he was perhaps keeping you close to stop him from doing all this.

...Or maybe, he was asking you to keep him company before the world falls down, knowing that once the timeloop could no longer be sustained, even with his corrupted powers, you'd have to step up as a hero once more. Slay the monsters, free the kingdom. Save your friends.

With a lilting giggle, Venti covers your eyes with his hands. And when he takes them away, the domain has turned into...

Windrise? No, some condensed version of it, with azure skies and calming wind trailing on for miles. The tree still sits there. You remember the first time Venti introduced you to the sight.

He calls your name, and before you is Venti, still in his archon form, but with his blue glow and green eyes again. He gives you a cheeky smile, and you feel your heart ache.

"Better?" Venti cups your cheeks, stepping closer to you to place his forehead against yours. It's gentle, but you feel a foreign energy that's seeping away at yours, like it's trying to steal more away.

Like he can no longer love the same, needing to take something as a keepsake, before this illusion ends.

Maybe doing so in this form is an act of mercy to you. Venti's always been one to make sacrifices that were lost to the wind.

i love naive society readers because there’s something so sexy to me about characters taking advantage of their sheltered little worlds; playing on the romanticism they’ve learnt from smuggled books and stories overheard from the serving staff, taking those idealised thoughts about chivalry and propriety and trampling all over them -

the gallantry of taking it from them and then wanting to have them in marriage too, in every way, because only they should be privy to how you look and feel when they inflict their depravities - or the amusement of having you, of corrupting you, of taking someone who should be sweet and wide-eyed and virginal and teaching them about the pleasures of the flesh they ought not know.

#nat.txt #not sfw text #corruption kink cw #it’s sexy with yanderes and in dc too i don’t make the rules #court au where you are a sweet little thing promised to a boring lord but king welt/zhongli/jing yuan/venti thinks that such a terrible #waste. #and endeavours to teach you and have you *himself*

[sagau-my-beloved]

Pffft “messy”- I’m just imagining:

Corrupted Venti: *absolutely destroying everything or killing people because he thinks reader no longer wants him*

Reader: *sighs* time to grab the spray bottle-

I mean I don't think he'd go that far

Then again—

Ok he'd only go that far if he thought you liked the people he was killing more than him and they were the reason you no longer loved him

Now he might take his anger out on a few more mountain tops, but since he's already sliced all the ones in Mondstadt that really leaves Liyue as the closest option-

*que Zhongli throwing Venti into another mountain*

Anyway this confusion could be cleared up rather easily since he'd absolutely start with begging, like wholehearted between broken sobs begging

He can't simply live without you, not at this point, that would be no different than asking him to live without a vital organ, so whatever you need to hear him say in order to keep him around he'll say it, doesn't matter what promises he has to make because you matter more than any of it

So me and @arson-n-quwubilder made an au a while ago because i am mentally ill about dottore yet he is about venti. So we came upon a compromise of what if dottore just kidnapps venti to experiment on him (espechially corruption au venti) yet dottore just. Ends up at the end begging venti to get the fuck out of his lab because he literally does not shut the fuck up and only spreads lies with his yapping.

I'd say that this is an exploration of a corrupted venti concept where the corruption changed his wings completely from bird to butterfly (which it is!)

but really I just wanted to draw venti with wings based on these earrings I got a while ago sdfgsfd

Just a Normal Genshin Impact Game Time... Is it?

This SAGAU fanfic was actually created like a year ago (March 15, 2023), but decided to redo this again. This was created during the time I was still Venti-less, so this one was like a story of me trying to cope at that time.

And yes, my latest fanart coincidentally fits this story too! I just stumbled on this back when I tried to scroll on my drafts while waiting for the fanart to be posted.

CW: blood, violence, and murder. Be warned.

You were just playing Genshin Impact on your computer like any other day, just doing the usual stuff you always do every time you login like doing the daily commissions and farming domains to build your characters.

One day, after doing your usual Genshin dallies for the day, you decided to take some scenic pictures with your current team on board and explore Teyvat to look for random chests and hidden quests you may miss. You know, to pass the time and possibly scrounge for primogems to farm for your favorite character.

But as you try to explore the place while trying to find a good spot to take pictures, you couldn't shake the feeling that something is wrong, that something or someone was watching you.

You were confused at first, on why you are feeling like that. But you just shrugged, as you may think you just had too much coffee. After all, you love coffee to the bone.

As you took Kokomi to a scenic place somewhere in Mondstadt, you had noticed something strange that was hidden by a canopy of trees, few meters behind the current character. You squinted a little bit, your eyes still trying to figure out the culprit of your distraction.

There was a figure hidden behind the trees.

------

At first, you mistook it as a rock or something inanimate but you then noticed that it was actually a person when it moved. It was not an NPC or random animal, but an actual playable character. After all, you could recognize that outfit even from afar, as Genshin Impact characters had some unique styles that were fit for their personalities and status.

It was Venti, hiding in a tree from far away, with eyes glaring at you.

Your heart nearly burst out of your chest when you saw him as you quickly exit the camera mode, trying to find some explanation of why he was there, to begin with. Maybe there's an event that he had been with?

You checked the quest menu to check for any Mondstadt-related events that you probably never finished, but to your horror, there was nothing. You looked at some guides online, some clues onto why he was there, that there may be an event from other nations that had him as a guest, but to no avail. You remembered that you already did his story quest and the quests that he was actually involved in-game. Maybe it's a glitch?

With a shaky grip, you closed the quest menu and stared at the same spot again. Venti was still there behind the tree, watching you with soulless eyes.

You were shaking in fear as you were also staring at him.

As you were still frozen on your seat, trying to make sense of everything, the figure dressed as Venti suddenly pointing something at your Kokomi, his soulless eyes still looking at your terrified ones, like he was a rabid dog vying for attention.

You suddenly recognized what he was trying to do. He was pointing out his former signature weapon, the iconic Skyward Harp, at you.

"Wait, isn't the Elegy of the End his new signature weapon?" You muttered out as your mind had tried to remember about Venti. You were a fan of him, so it would be in your forte to remember every single detail about him.

You remember that even his weapon was already changed to Elegy of the End during his consecutive reruns due to the new bow fits his kit than Skyward Harp, the latter was still his signature weapon in lore.

In the corner of your eye, you noticed something weird once again, this time on the map.

Apparently, the map shows you that there is a second player on the map, and that player was near your vicinity. You widened your eyes as you remembered that you didn't do any co-op with a Venti main recently and you don't even have a Venti. And to your horror, even your co-op mode wasn't even turned on!

------

You had remembered that you always wanted Venti, but due to your impatient nature, you had decided to build pity and accidentally won Kokomi twice on the last day of her banner. You got C1 Kokomi instead.

Unfortunately, Venti's banner was next and you regretted that he never came home. You had lost your 50/50 to your very first Qiqi at 75 pulls... At the end of his rerun banner.

...this is weird and unsettling, so you decided to quit the game, but to your horror, you can't even access the damned menu, soft locking you out.

As you saw Venti's creepy smile while he was sadistically hitting your main team with his anemo-infused arrows, you were horrified at what happened next.

You watched your entire team being stabbed by his arrows, blood splattering on the screen like a grotesque painting, and your current team crying for mercy and help as they were hit by the arrows the Anemo Archon in disguise had been aiming at them and they were frozen in spot because of some twisted form of code that the game had, instead of them doing their usual lines while being on low HP or fallen down. And you couldn't even make them run by pressing the buttons to move the character you currently have because you're frozen in fear as you saw the character pleading for you to make them run away from the crazed fellow using your keyboard and mouse but you didn't. You didn't even help them survive.

You remembered that characters that had fallen down were supposed to turn into glowing white dust instead of this... bloody mess you were witnessing.

This isn't right!

It was like you were playing a horror game rather than a simple open-world RPG game.

Then while the carnage was happening, there is an in-game text that was showing up while this is happening, of Venti still happily singing his ballads while doing the unthinkable. As if he was gleefully watching you squirm.

You couldn't help but close the game in a blink of an eye after you witnessed the scene by trying to turn off the computer and decided to never touch the game again. Thankfully, your computer turned off, but it had left you traumatized.

You decided to uninstall the game after rebooting the computer. The usual uninstall window had appeared with a picture of a chibified Amber crying showed up and a message about asking if you were really uninstalling the app, as if beckoning you not to delete the game, but you insisted and still pressed the uninstall button.

You decided to leave your room while leaving the computer to do its duty to uninstall the cursed stuff, but after you went outside for some fresh air, the uninstall window that was supposed to show a chibified Klee signifying the game had been uninstalled, glitched for a second.

Venti's creepy smile was seen in a split second on the entirety of the computer screen instead of the window with Klee, with some words written in glitchy Teyvatian language then in glitchy English that was flickering in the screen before it turns normal once again.

[whirlwiinded]

Poisoned by the dragon, the little archon roamed the nation. His anger and frustrations festering the longer time went on.

After everything he's done for Mondstadt, how hard he fought for their happiness. Only to be tossed aside and so easily forgotten. They had their freedom, what use was he to them now, anyway?

Ungrateful. Ungrateful. Ungrateful.

He would show them. He would show all of them the consciousness of turning your back on your archon.

Even with the poison, he still enjoyed his trickery, but perhaps to the wrong person, those tricks could turn deadly.

#🍏V: You intend to stop me? #A common AU I've seen around but I've really been wanting to write my own for awhile #There's just something about corrupt Venti that I just hhhhhhh #I'll make an update on my verses page in a minute #and if there's any interest I'll probs post an open starter later

[bahbzxxx]

Corrupt!!! Venti au

✧ I did this in one sitting so bear with me please✧

Imagine if Venti had like…some type of corruption cycle or something. Like Werewolves and a full moon?

Like, you know how the spiral abyss changes every so often? I forget how many days it is…but what if, every few cycles…Venti’s corruption comes out, and he becomes a vigilante storm -terror like figure and unleashes a storm at night, and it varies on how long it lasts and the severity. Still, after every time, Mondstadt faces pollution in the form of abyssal residue, which attracts more monsters. Due to much research and assistance from Liyue, getting rid of such problem spots is possible due to lumenspar, but it’s only so limited. Thinking that it will help, Mondstadt lets in more protection in the form of the Fatui…with more Harbingers cycling through Mondstadt.

The people don’t really know what is happening-they just assume that they made Lord Barbatos angry, but when there is a routine in storms…it just becomes the new normal. Jean and Diluc know, however, that this isn’t right. Especially since Venti, beloved bard of Mondstadt, has been gone for years. They pray the traveler will come back and help…but the traveler hasn’t come around in a long, long time.

Though Venti doesn’t have the power to just…get rid of this issue obviously, his management of this curse can determine the outcome of a flare-up.

Option 1: let the cycle flow normally. Storms are naturally more frequent and come every few moon cycles, but they are typically less severe. The symptoms will worsen under certain circumstances( Aka ties with Harbingers/fatui(mainly due to abyss order control and proximity), but as long as he listens to cues in his body and mind, he can make it manageable. During this time, Venti typically secludes himself within Stormterrors lair the entire phase with wind barrier up to keep as much out of the city as he can. It typically takes him half of a phase to snap out of it, but it can vary. This way is not as taxing on him, but the guilt eats him alive that he can no longer keep Mondstadt storm free as he once was able to…

Option 2: He can stave it off for some time. But every time he does this, it just makes things worse. There comes a point when he will simply lose control, and it’s inevitable that all of mondstadt will suffer greatly. However, in a period where he is holding the abyssal buildup in, Mondstadt is thriving. There’s less danger, and everything is just how it should be. People are just happier, and Venti doesn’t want to see them upset by another storm-so he holds it in for their sake…Everytime he does this, even when the storm has passed, he will still be extremely corrupt. Hell become dangerous, and even the city will face abyssal sludge on top of a huge storm. Even after, it will be storming non-stop for another entire spiral abyss cycle. Everytime he does this, he will lose more control over his corruption, even if he follows the normal cycle again.

Venti will appear more monster-like than anything- think defiled statue, but extremely terrifying.

Idk- this is just an idea. I really can't stand the theory of Venti being corrupt all this time and it slowly taking over him in game, but it's such an interesting concept and im obsessed with it at the same time. I made this version so he can deal with it, but obviously it's gonna have repercussions.

Gotcha! Sorry about your inbox, you’re just really fun to talk to! Glad you like brainrots, though, because I’ve got it bad. (Sorry these are a bit long)

So you know the corrupted!Venti au? Where he’s been corrupted by the abyss order like Dvalin with all of the magenta color symbolism and whatnot? Big fan of that however the whole abyss corruption thing is just a little overplayed. I like to think that he was corrupted by the creator. Maybe like how you were talking about with people getting influenced by the creator’s emotions. Venti becomes consumed by the need to please his god, infected by their influence, their will. And it’s not like Dvalin in the sense that his autonomy was taken from against his will. No, Venti wants this, needs it. It clashes with his principles of freedom, but he needs to belong to the creator so bad it breaks him. And now there are no more principles, no ethics, no morals, there is only the creator and their will. He is no longer an individual, he belongs to the creator, he is but a vessel, an extension of their will. He does not answer to the wind, to freedom, his people, or to Celestia. He only answers to the creator. Maybe true freedom is being released from the burden of free will, his now twisted mind thinks. Maybe true freedom is never having the capacity for choice. For these thoughts he gets praised by the creator, just as he gets praised every time he’s obedient, further cementing the corruption in his mind.

Idk do you ever just love a character so much you just wanna *clenches fist* break them?

And also I like the idea of sagau with a corrupt creator. I mean, put in the position as supreme authority with nations and literal gods at your beck and call would get to anyone’s head eventually. Sadistic, controlling, narcissistic creator is what you’d get out of that. But how would Venti factor into this? Would he submit to his role, choosing to continue in service and worship of his god? After all, who is he to question them? If anyone has a problem with the way creator rules Teyvat Venti would end them without hesitation if only his god wills it. He is loved by them as long as he obeys, and as long as he is loved nothing else matters. Or maybe he sees this as the creator being in trouble? He needs to save them like he saved Dvalin from the abyss order. His disobedience will not go over well with his god, but he doesn’t care what they do to him. As long as he gets through to them, as long as he can bring his beloved back and they no longer have to suffer under the grip of those sadistic thoughts, nothing else matters. Or he might see saving as a lost cause? The creator is too far gone, their twisted nature is not some foreign curse, it’s a part of them now. The one he knew before is gone. The only thing he can do now is let them go. Creator may have changed, but for the person they once were, they don’t deserve to have to live like this, wrapped in these miserable thoughts for the rest of time. The best thing Venti can do now is put them out of their misery. He’ll never forgive himself, and he’ll never recover from the toll such an action had taken on him, but as long as his god is at peace now nothing else matters.

I find all the scenarios interesting (and all with good potential for angst 😈) I think my money’s on the first one, but I’d like a second opinion.

No need to apologize it’s not like I really consider it a bad thing, I love interaction I just wish I had the ability to keep up with it—

I've seen artwork of that, but this actually inspired me to go look further into it, and it's actually a pretty cool concept ngl— but that could just be my obsession with corruption speaking

Corruption in the form of obsession is simply top tier, especially when it's a slow acting thing

It always starts subtle, Venti feeling less and less life-like whenever he's away from you, how his body feels almost as if it wasn't really his own. All the things he used to love so dearly, the places he would visit without a care towards where he was supposed to be, where he was wanted by others... That was freedom to him, and he thrived on it. But it all started to feel so dull when you weren't there with him, when he didn't have you to look to for guidance. All the minor actions he reveled in lost their meaning. The wine now tasted bland when you weren't also indulging in it, apples completely lost their flavor, almost as if they were nothing more than wet sand when not given to him by your hand, and even the most heartfelt music did little to elicit any sort of emotional response when it didn't come directly from you. The wind was still soft against his skin, gentle and obedient as it always had been, but now it only seemed to blow towards you, as if enticing him to follow it back to where his body and mind truly belonged.

That was how it started, and it only grew the longer he stayed away.

It was now as if he couldn't keep focus, mind jumping from one thing to the next, failing to grasp on to thoughts he had moments prior. It was all too much and too little at once. Faceless people that attempted to speak to him sounded little more than a collection of jumbled sounds. He knew those syllables, the individual letters rang out clearly in a way that should have formed something comprehensible, yet it took his mind minutes to string them together. You were the exception of course, you were always the exception. Your words cut through the deepest fog, easily slicing through the howling winds into the most intimate parts of him. It was simply blissful to hear you speak, your voice was everything after all, he longed for the clarity it brought.

The next to morph itself was his sense of touch, now he couldn't feel the wind at all. The grass beneath his feet, the feeling of rain on his skin, it was all numb and muted, as if his body really was only a vessel that housed something that simply couldn't interact with the world around him. At that point even touching other people hurt, a buzzing of electricity, an indescribable feeling of wrongness that came along every time someone even rested a hand on his shoulder. He could only let out a pained smile as his body screamed for him to distance himself when giving a simple handshake. And what did it matter anyway? It's not as if he cared about any of them. Your touch still felt divine, an indescribable wave of pleasure at how your fingertips brushed against his, that easily made up for all of it. The rain and wind mattered little when he felt so complete being the recipient of your kiss.

He didn't leave your side anymore, there simply wasn't any point. Your voice was all he needed, he could have survived on your touch alone.

Concepts mattered little to him now as well, choice and freedom meant nothing, not as you cooed over how cute he was being, refusing to take his eyes off you for even a second. Everything was always kind of blurry when he looked anywhere else anyway, so it was rare to see his big eyes gazing anywhere but up at you with nothing but complete devotion.

And oh he loved how you praised him, how you seemed so pleased as he mumbled prayers in your name, prayers that may have included some rather concerning things to other people— but what did other people matter? If you liked hearing him talk about how he was nothing more than an extension of you, how he had no other meaning outside of your wants, how his body and mind and soul were yours to break if it so pleased you... then he'd repeat it as frequently as you'd allow.

Venti was lost without your attention, less than alive if you didn't acknowledge him. You alone were the source of any and all pleasant feelings, to be without you was no different than simply not existing. Anything that kept you from him would be delt with swiftly and without regret, it's not as if he could differentiate people from monsters from any other form of life anymore, it was all the same and it was all worthless. If someone making pleasant conversation was the reason for your hand leaving his skin, sapping the warmth from his body, then that unidentifiable thing should simply be eliminated. If your face ever fell in someone's presence, if Venti ever felt even the most minuscule of negative emotions come from you, then the one who caused them would be indiscriminately flung into the nearest ocean by his hand and the power you so graciously allowed him to keep.

He never wasted his words on others now, any sound that left his mouth was forever and always directed at you, for your ears alone. Only you get to indulge in his singing and the poetry he speaks in your name, his words are now a prayer made for no other.

Even his name starts to lose meaning, he isn't Barbatos the Anemo Archon, that title and the status it represents brings only confusion. He's your Venti, your most beloved, your devoted worshipper, your perfect and obedient pet who lives for the sole purpose of pleasing you in every way you'll allow.

You have a God so dependent on you that he wouldn't so much as breath if you didn't give him direct permission, the air in his lungs was yours after all, you were simply mercifully letting him borrow it.

Oh how this cute Archon would reduce the world, himself included, into a most divine nothingness for your hand alone to morph. You were eternal and you were holy and he was yours.

Anyway moving on, I don't think it's possible to have corrupt Venti without corrupt creator, I mean there's no way you can be an upstanding pillar of morals with that happening to him over there

But I think with the corrupt creator concept the most realistic option that would happen would be the second one, where Venti feels it's his responsibility to save you from whatever’s 'possessing' you, and I feel like that could end in two possible ways

The first and boring option is he successfully gets through to you, y'all go live a happy life together maybe outside of the spotlight, the end roll credits

The other way is, well, he basically starts getting corrupted himself, and we have the first situation all over again

But I don't think, no matter what, he would ever resort to the third option, he would continue to try to get through to you until he no longer can cause of getting corrupted himself

Now I think a really good angst option that incorporates a bit of that concept along with the third option that I feel he would never resort to, would be one of his means of trying to get through to you causes some sort of unexpected reaction that ends up fatally wounding/killing you, now that would be fun to expand on because 99℅ of him would be completely horrified, like I cannot express the level of horrified I'm talking about, but there's that small portion that would sort of be grateful over the fact that they are probably now in peace, and then he resents himself for feeling that at all

Angst and corruption man 😎✌
