#LUMINE ( HCs )ㅤ ㅤ ( ㅤ 🌟ㅤ ) ㅤ ㅤ — ㅤTHE STARS ARE MY ANSWER. I TRAVEL TO LEARN AND TO SEE.

[poswiecenia]

lumine's like a cat when she's hurt because she'd rather crawl away somewhere secluded and deal w it herself rather than be seen by anyone that would see the great traveler anything less than perfect. if she trusts you to appear weak and give into being helped then boy you've won the lottery.

[poswiecenia]

coughs. ''' canonically ''' with my lumine , her planet either blew up or became uninhabitable ( for a time depending on verse ) due to the mass amount of death that happened during the war -- since when prifaitrian's die completely their essence ( which is a star by the way ) literally explodes. imagine what chain reaction there'd be if a bunch went out at once. yeah.

@constarellations - hc + 🗡 for a weapon-themed headcanon ( for Lumine and someone who isn't Lumine ) \ Thematic Headcanons.

LUMINE.

lumine is actually more adept with heavier and ' larger ' weaponry. her war axe was her longest used weapon before she came to teyvat where she implemented a short sword for convenience -- which she imbues with some of her star matter so it doesn't fucking break immediately ( usually applies if she likes the weight / feel of a weapon ) due to her strength being a but all over the place. she's meticulous when it comes to looking after her weapons , bound to sit for an hour or more cleaning or sharpening them ; this task usually engrained in her by her father who , well , was rather strict about how she was to present her weapons when she had time to do so. hard habit to break.

MATHILDA.

big sword. great sword. ma'am was tasked with protecting / guarding the little alberich ( mostly canon to @glacialswordsman's kaeya but yeah wjwj ) and took it very very seriously regardless of her father's view of doing so. it had been a baeur lineage and she took up the responsibility being the eldest daughter. anyway she was proficient in many weapons but preferred the greatsword for its length so she could stay back and protect the prince if she needed by standing in front of him but not putting him in danger at the same time. she also had a pretty neato dagger.

your vibe , your curse ft lumine.

tormented moon .

ike the moon casting its pale light over the world , you are forever a witness to the pain and struggles of those around you. your own heart is a mirror to their sorrow , and you carry their burdens as if they were your own. the weight of this empathy leaves you in a constant state of quiet suffering. your curse is this ; condemned to see the world through a veil of sorrow , forever reflecting the pain and darkness of others without respite.

what does your heart look like? ft. lumine & nikita'ain.

a compass that doesn’t waver

You are someone who is certain of what you want. Maybe you always have been , or maybe you made a discovery that you haven’t been able to tear your eyes away from. Your heart is set and certain. You fight endlessly for your goals. Above all else , you know who you are and what you are trying to achieve. Just be careful not to tear yourself or others apart in pursuit of your ideals.

a bird struggling to get loose

Your heart can never hold still. It pounds against your chest frantically , always turning your sights to one thing after the next. When was the last time you were certain ? The last time your life was stable ? Maybe this is how you prefer things. On the move constantly , not tied down to one person or place. You chase one goal after the next. Can you ever really feel complete without a place to land ? Shouldn’t you build yourself a nest ?

CELESTIAL / PRIFAITRIAN LORE. thinking about what's known now ( thanks to the xbox glider description ) that the abyss sibling with my canon would be more abyssal than celestial at this point with how they have basically become a vessel of abyssal power and this is why even as a celestial they've been able to survive in / around the abyss without major consequences like what the celestial traveler ends up with just by being around corruptive energies for a period. with the abyssal taint gone , whenever that'll be , will cause effectively what would suffer the psychological, cognitive and physical symptoms of what basically would be ' abyssal withdrawal ' for a fair amount of time until little is left of it.

[poswiecenia]

hello hi lumine hc time. giving lumine the option of choice and autonomy will cause her to not know what to do with it initially. teyvat is still a pretty new ballgame for her after being a literal weapon that was tasked to follow orders in war. giving the star options that she gets to choose will lend her to stare , not compute then finally make a choice for herself. one of the reasons she helps everyone is because she doesn't entirely know how to slow down anymore. her buffer had been aether for the longest time and without him she'll push herself into exhaustion if given the chance.

What Are Your Hands Covered In? ft. lumine

Stars.

they burn , don’t they ? and yet you still hold on. the flesh on your palms peels back , your fingers burning down to bone. your tissues char and break away , your blood boiling inside your hands. the heat rushes up to kiss your face and chest , a sunburn in the dark and yet – yet you hold on , because they are beautiful. it hurts , but you see only the beauty of the moment , none of the pain. all of that suffering is worth a few moments of brilliance , isn’t it ?

LUMINE

doing things for them without being asked to

you're observant and you know your loved ones so well , you know when to do things for them without having to ask ( or be asked ) what they need. they don't always know how much you do for them ; there's no need pointing it out , you're just happy to help. you do things simply to make others feel better and lighten their burdens , and expect nothing in return : their happiness is enough for you , even if they don't always know you're the one who caused it. still , as good as it might feel to give and give and keep on giving , please allow them to do things for you in return. people feel better when they're being helpful ( you should know this , more than anyone ) and no matter how hard it might feel for you to accept help from someone , you should take it when they readily give it to you. you deserve to be loved in the way you love them , too. you won't be a burden -- and remember : a real friend will love you even when you're not constantly being useful , because your company is more than enough.

ALHAITHAM

"you're the exception"

your emotional walls have walls. seriously , you've guarded yourself so well , you sometimes forget how to look over your own walls and see the beauty of the world outside the safety of the protection you've set up. you forget how to escape the confines you built for yourself , that is , but some people ( some incredibly rare people ) somehow know their way through that intricate maze of walls and thorns around you. they're the exception , and terrifying as it might be at first , you'll let them know eventually. you smile at them where you'd scowl at another. you crack a joke where you'd usually stay quiet. you find yourself opening up more than you'd ever imagined. don't tear your fortress down if you don't want to , but maybe try to build your loved ones a little home inside it instead. you don't have to be alone. you deserve better than being alone in there.

@constarellations - hc + 🚬 for a headcanon about a bad habit ( for Lumine and someone who isn't Lumine! ) \ Thematic Headcanons.

LUMINE.

saying yes to people that ask her for help even when she's burnt out. she puts too much into the approval of others and how validating it is. its something she's doing her best to work out of -- its trauma based and constantly trying to prove herself was ingrained over 500 years in her youth and she hasn't really had the time to work out of it.

using his delusion lol lmao. dude kinda died bc of the habit /pensive. tbf he was protecting diluc but man skill issue ammirite ?

how are you ruined? ft. lumine

ruined by loneliness

you are so lonely. you are miserable in your solitude. you hate that you cannot bring yourself to reach out , to ask for help. you will be forgotten by all who never knew you. your biggest fear is that you will die alone , and you know this fear will be seen to fruition. you refuse to extend yourself beyond the box that others put you in. and it is a box that no one dare come near. you are lonely because you are afraid of yourself.

what chess piece represents you? ft. lumine

White Rook

You are a White Rook. as a piece that can move inwards and outwards , you're a master of self-reflection. you know what needs to be done and when to do it. you're a protector , and would willingly take someone's place in danger in a heartbeat because you know you can handle the pressure. but even castle walls crumble. for all your chivalry and fortitude , everything must come to an end. will you be there to see the final stages of the war ? or will you have already been discarded in the battle ?

what color does your love feel like? ft. lumine & kaveh

dark stormy blue

sinking ships , raging seas and tumultuous hearts , love isn't easy for you. it's a struggle , a constant inner fight of should I ? can I ? do I ? feelings are hard and they rumble inside you in a dissatisfied mess that begs to be let out. your heart screams and cries inside you and you ... you can't , you won't. you're scared. and love is scary , it's hard and sometimes it just doesn't work out. people leave , people hurt , people change their minds. and you and your cold stormy heart yearn for the calmness , for the distance , to be allowed and able to simply not feel. and yet , you do. it rages , it fights and storms inside you and you try to keep it down , keep it quiet , to feel pretending not to. it's the burn of childhood friends growing apart , of parents that aren't quite there , of relationships that burn out. so you snuff it down with water , cold and calming and blue , blue , blue. but being loved by you is blue too , just not in that way. it's the soothing , embracing feeling of floating , the moment when you sink down bellow the waves and become one with the water , with everything. it's the balance , the dramatic yet calming sound of waves that crash against a rocky shore. you're the good and the bad , the violence of the storm and the watery peace right after. you're the blue , blue feeling and loving you is watery tears , yelled confessions that no one will hear and burying your feelings in a deep watery grave never to be found out about. your love is dark stormy blue , it's vast and deep and all encompassing , it's safety in the surface of danger , it's trusting the unruly abyss and yet I'd gladly risk drowning just to feel what it's like being loved by you.

warm burnt orange

riding off into the sunset , the hope of a happy ending , the bitter after taste that still in it's own way smells kinda great. your love is all bitter hopefulness , all about a broken heart that refuses to quit , all about the unshakable knowledge that a burning fire has a great comforting warm and a soft glowing light , all about the way when the sun comes down there's a beautiful starry night. it's stubbornness , it's the refusal to give up , the clutching of broken shards despite the searing pain and being adamant that dammit you can still make a beautiful stained glass window out of it. yours is a screaming heart , a pleading love , a bitter and almost belligerent hopefulness that things will still work out even if you have to roll up your sleeves and make them. and god , aren't you tired ? isn't your heart heavy ? is all your hard work worth it ? don't you just want to curl up and let it be ? let the fire turn to ashes and the sky turn dark and let love die down and watch people leave ? but you don't , do you ? you're the bravest out of all of us , so you pick up the pieces and you keep going , you keep believing and you keep your heart full of hope because some day. some day you know you'll get it. you keep riding off into the sunset and you keep filling my heart with hope as you go because god , how do I wish you finally get it too.
