#Lumine’s journey

[the-star-bound-traveler]

Whoops @/vigilant-yaksha-asks, would be ok

(Ok! Ty anon!)

Lumine took a deep breath, and tried to build up some courage before attempting this very embarrassing dare..

It was night time in Teyvat, which was already a good start. No sense in lulling someone into a mid day nap after all.

After a quick teleport to the Wangshu inn’s waypoint, Lumine carefully made her way up to the balcony, since she knew Xiao usually slept in the tree branches on the roof.

She did a quick one eighty look around before quietly calling his name.

“.. Xiao..? Are you up here..?”

Headcanon that despite the Traveler having a sense of morality which opposes Ei’s previous actions, they still get along with her because they know they cannot judge. They would rend this world apart if their twin died in their arms.

istg people who complain about genshins story progression can’t read because the interlude trailer LITERALLY OUTLINES EVERYTHING

“when are we going to get to Celestia” WHEN WE GO THROUGH THE DAMN NATIONS LIKE THE TRAILER SAID

“when are we going to find our sibling” AFTER WE GO THROUGH THE FUCKING NATIONS LIKE THE TRAILER SAID

like I’m sorry but “the quest for our sibling” so obviously only exists so we can do the real story aka the examination of ideals yk like how it was OUTLINED BY THE TRAILER

I’m just really tired of all the complaining about the plot playing out in the exact way it was promised

Analyzing ideas and people’s relationship to those ideas (freedom, contracts (relationships), eternity, wisdom, justice, war, love etc) is infinitely more interesting than finding our sibling and it would be a lot more fun to be in this fanbase if people were smart enough to recognize that

Some thoughts on things I like

•Beyond the journeys end-it feels like someones fanfic in an alternate universe and we live in the version where it's animated like in there head

•Made in abyss or made abyss u don't remember- my abusolute favorite anime of all time god you should watch it

•kiki delivery service- I barely remember 3 scenes but I'm convinced it's a master piece planning to re watch soon

•epithet erased- I feel like people epithets just shows what they want in life, Molly wants peace and simplicity in her life Giovanni wants to be like soup liked by everyone with a brain and zora just wants the "out live her enemies" process go faster

•Hermit craft- I love fishing grian but I feel I would smoke grian in fishing I fish with nothing but a wooden rode that eventually becomes enchanted by the fishing rodes I fish and eventually I get a perfect fishing rodes by just fishing

•The last demention- god READ IT, READ IT! PLEASE!!! It's one of my favorite series across all media it's truly amazing for no particular reason than because I find the characters and art fun

•under the luminous sky- god I swear if I ask another person and they don't know what I'm talking about-

•Fear and hunger- to everyone that plays this I have two things to say masochist and Please contact me I would like to talk about it :)

•undertale- I feel like the timeline messed up somehwere and this was supposed to be an underated master piece only a few people should know and constantly talks about how it's underated but apparently we live in the timeline where infact it got the recognition it deserves

Lumine has an unconscious habit of holding hands with someone when she’s nervous. And yes, she becomes exceedingly mortified if the person calls attention to it or pulls away abruptly.

I couldn’t stop thinking about the one thing the Traveler and Ei share in common—and I imagine that one can sympathize when one loses their other half 💔

Happy birthday, Ei and Makoto 🙏🌸

[ writing lumine during her first journey ( prior to her becoming the abyss princess ) and she was so hopeful for the future of khaenri'ah. she had so much hope for the nation's future, how she wished to see them thrive because they were abandoned by the archons & celestia. they were simply humans trying to survive and grow as a nation. of course, the power they were tampering with was something beyond human control, but they didn't have anyone to turn to, so it's only fair ( in her opinion ) that they had to do anything to survive. everything they had, they built with their own hands. every technology, every creations, every sacrifices & failures, it's all human's and their ambition. she wanted the people to be happy, to be successful, to live in peace.

but it never happened, and she could never forgive the archons & celestia not only for abandoning them, but for destroying them with their own hands. ]

𝙳𝙰𝚁𝙴 I dare you to take the Wanderer's hat

.

“Th-this sounds like a dangerous request…”

Lumine sighed. A dare is a dare after all. She took a deep breath and took the teleport waypoint to the Sumeru academia.

It didn’t take her too long to find mister hat guy wandering around, and all she had to do was sneak up close behind him…

“Well.. here goes nothing I guess.”

She carefully reached out, and..

I’ve posted about this before, but I find the whole ”no one helps the traveler” thing kind of stupid, especially when they have the traveler snap at some random civilian. Because the citizens aren’t required to help the traveler, and likewise the traveler isn't required to help the various nations they visit. I hate to be the one to say it, but in the grand scheme of things, to the average person, the travelers missing sibling is hardly their concern.

The traveler is a naturally compassionate and overall helpful person, and if they really really didn't want to help, most notably in Inazuma, I don’t think they would. For example, if they’d concluded they still didn’t want to help after Ayaka had them fulfill her wishes, she still would have kept her end of the deal and introduced him to the Raiden Shogun

i am riding the serotonin high of hearing a one-second voice clip of Figment in Luminous as long as i can

[kitsunabi]

The fact that Paimon has 2 different poses depending on which sibling she's with is really cute actually

[priestessofpaimon-old]

Look at these cuties!!!!!

Hardly ever the concept of hero is brought to light in these lands of gods and celestial beings that pull acts considered "heroic" by mankind if weren't for the fact that human standards don't apply to them, only to those who subject themselves to them. In Dáinsleif's case, it doesn't come as a surprise that he's regarded as a hero even by flower spirits that take humans for what they are— feeble beings guided by their emotional core. Not him, however. They must've seen something in him to deem him so and al-Háitham doesn't question it. Since he met him in Khaenri'ah he was witness of people's love and adoration for him, even if he didn't spend enough time to commit any acts of this kind.

What paralyses Garuda with sorrow is that the Twilight Sword was unable to do anything to protect the underground kingdom and yet, his titanic efforts contributed greatly to Sumeru's safety... at the detriment of making himself enemy of his own people who surrendered to the abyssal pact to become transcendent ones. Here he lies on his bed, completely spent and exhausted from the endless tides of abyssal monsters he defeated at the helm of the Schwanenritter. Not even a moment to grief and heal was spent that as soon as he left Khaenri'ah, he involved himself in another country's tragedy... His touch is feather-like as he pushes away a few moonlit bangs from his face, his hand lingering on the side of his face and thumb grazing the outline of abyss-tainted skin crossed by a ley line.

Once everything's been lost, all expectations of a bright future where what little is left still remains are drown under the onyx waters of void with it. Nothing but smoldering ashes remain in the once glorious kingdom, no more relationships to be had when everyone included themselves were cursed and left to their fortune amidst the destruction that the Seven brought. Despite everything, there is someone who was not affected by any of it as someone whom hailed from one of the nations presided by the Archons, someone who has grown immensely within the seraph's heart when he was in Khaenri'ah and time after that via correspondences.

Even if their bond was strongly solidified... even if both of them have gone through thick and thin together... with what face would Dáinsleif expect al-Háitham to still accept the monster he has become?

Death should've claimed him weren't for the curse, or the Abyss altogether weren't for his adamancy to not turn into a monster, too— a full-on one, for nothing will change the fact that half of his body has already been tainted, determination to stay sane or not. But it did not and the unconceivable prospect of resting on the softness of a bed is one hard to believe yet. Even within his slumber, Dáinsleif flinches at the touch, however soft it is. One of the endless consequences of this curse is dealing with a physical ache never felt before, doomed to feel it for the rest of his days. It burns his skin, his senses warn him of pain wrongly despite the gentleness put into the touch, but the luminary makes no movement to remove himself from it.

Instead, it stirs him awake, albescent lashes fluttering open to see al-Háitham's concerned face as he caresses his cheek. You know I'm a monster, and you would still spare me this kindness? Roseate lips quiver as the corners of his eyes sting with the might of building tears that spare twilight no time to remain collected before they fall. Instinct leads his right hand to rise and cup his hand, only to stop midway at the reminder that his right hand is the cursed one. It falls by his side and so the left one rises in its stead, moving until it can cover al-Háitham's in its own.

Many are the questions Dáinsleif would pose in such moment: Why? Even though you see me... why? Yet none of them manage to leave his mouth, for all questions are answered with the softening of an equally sorrowful gaze. If his initial touch didn't suffice, the hand that follows the first one finishes the job of cupping the knight's face whole with a tenderness he feels undeserving for and a loving closeness with the touch of two foreheads.

No words can express the turmoil of sentiments he feels, so he does not bother to formulate any as his eyes close— praying to whatever merciful soul would listen to him that this is not just a dream. That they let him have at least this, even if he doesn't believe he deserves it. As if by some miracle, his prayers are answered. For the next time his eyes open, he's met with the warmth of an amorous kiss he missed so. They have much to talk, much to discuss and put on the table, to clarify. But this moment... Dáinsleif will take it and put his mind to rest for the time being.

Thank you... for staying by my side... at my worst.
