Started to write Chilumi things/organise my notes and dear gods, I need to perform the same level of analysis/interpretation on Lumine that I've done for Childe for this to work. otherwise I'll fall into the worst stereotypes other fic writers fall into

fun

HOW DO I SPEED UP THIS PROCESS

brainrot supreme

a good thing is that I do like her

Things that I rarely/never/almost never see written, even if they are obvious (although some people draw them and I think these are more common when people write Aether):

There's a deep alienness in her, the way she looks at everything with very little emotion. It's not her being bland, it's the detachment of someone who is just passing through or perhaps someone who isn't human. Friendly cosmic horror.

Her getting progressively fed up with Teyvat

Barely anyone writes Traveler's yearning for their sibling, a passing mention at most. But I think it's always there and most days it's the only thing that is there. They see an architectural style that matches the one from another world and want to share it with their sibling... but the sibling isn't there anymore.

No one to truly share experiences with. No one understands their jokes. No one knows the 2 centuries old philosophical debate from another world they want to reference.

I would also talk very little if I was in their situation.

(this is actually a point of connection with Childe. having experiences that cannot be shared. an invisible wall between them and everyone else)

I hc they don't always take human form in their travels. No one can replicate the beauty of Cad Goddeu, of course, but it won't stop me from referencing it.

I have been in a multitude of shapes, Before I assumed a consistent form. I have been a sword, narrow, variegated, I will believe when it is apparent. I have been a tear in the air, I have been the dullest of stars. I have been a word among letters, I have been a book in the origin. I have been the light of lanterns A year and a half.

Original plan: Make 30-min sketches of portraits of my characters nin Genshin Impact

Reality: Spent 2 hours to draw a not-so-sketch Lumine only.

...

I wanted to improve my digital art skills and decided to do this every night before I go to sleep coz I've been having a bad case of insomnia and anxiety (because of my work). I stopped enjoying my hobby and passion and decided to lit up my flame again. Hopefully, I will continue to do this through out the year. Wish me luck!

...

Ps: yes, I'm a ChiLumi shipper and I can't stop myself from shipping them coz of the soooo goood fan arts of the other artists. 😅
