I would to give the quickest of explanations as to the biggest category: (pan)
We play as the traveler. The characters I’ve put into “pan” either seem to be interested or flirt with the traveler, or (i’ll expand on this) just seemed pan. Pan-normitivity seems to be how Teyvat is. Why? Traveler is usually flirted with, hit on, etc., no matter which twin you picked. The only exception I know of is Jeht.
Characters who to me “just seemed pan” : Venti, Zhongli, Yelan, Wriothesley, Neuvillette, Furina, Chevreuse, Xianyun
5/7 are …. long-living individuals, who, seem very implicitly gender nonconforming. (minus Xianyun, but I do think she’s pan)
As for Wriothesley and Chevreuse… going off my “pan normative Teyvat” belief, it just seemed right.
definition of panromantic/sexual = another’s gender and/or biological sex does not affect attraction
also if you’re curious “what’s the difference between willfully unlabeled and aro/ace?” Wanderer probably doesn’t like labels used by humans, so. yeah. I feel like Collei, in canon, wouldn’t have time to think about romance, and same goes for everyone else there minus Ei. If you ask, I’ll elaborate.
Ok, but that’s not the difference.
Well, Kirara, for example, is in aro-ace spec because I feel like romance or whatnot simply wouldn’t exist as a thing in her mind. For Lynette, I feel that given her life, (past and present) would at the very least be asexual. Itto, to me, wouldn’t experience attraction. Shenhe would see sex as pointless, therefore making her asexual at least.
One group doesn’t have time for attraction, whereas the other simply does not experience it
anyways thanks for being interested and reading, i will answer any questions :), and if you disagree vehemently, please don’t be nasty. we don’t need to agree, so let’s be cordial and allow each other to be nourished by our choice bounty of the land
at the end of the day, these are pixels.
