#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.

what's your role in the tragic play ? ft. lumine

desperate narrator

this story is a cycle , and you're spinning around it like a hamster in a ball being tormented by a cat. you know how this story ends. after all , you've told it a thousand times. but you try to change it every time. you love the people in this story more than anything. so watching them fall victim to the narrative breaks you in a way you can't begin to describe. but all you can do is tell the story ── their story ── with tears in your eyes. you're prone to anxiety and feelings of helplessness. you have so much love in your heart , and for once you wish it would change something. it didn't. it doesn't. it won't. but you refuse to stop telling the story. and you refuse to stop loving the people in it. in this way , no one is stronger than you. you just wish being strong hurt less.

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.

[poswiecenia]

hc that each nation / main act series is like a year and a half depending on the events going on within the act. lumine's been on teyvat for about six odd years.

[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.

[poswiecenia]

@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 ?

5.3 AQ divergence : lumine ( warning for AQ spoilers, obviously kjdfn )

-------- RE. the ' final battle ' , the night kingdom and hope. \ lumine hc

WAR IS NOTHING BUT A HOPELESS STRUGGLE.

war weary and honestly already exhausted due to the influence of the abyss corrupting the night kingdom , the mechanic of initially not having the bubble that kept us from losing health , while still there in my canon of events , was simply in existence for much less time. her light and strength had been sapped slowly by the abyss , leaving her vulnerable enough even with the assistance of all the souls that had come to her aid. igniting the power of pyro in attempts to defeat gosoythoth prior to its transformation into a version of the dragon sovereign did some to help , giving her some wiggle room to keep her from being consumed in her and mavuika's fight -- only for a split second to change almost everything. the traveler dies in her desperate desire to save natlan the despair of losing their archon when they are so close to victory. her hope to protect at least one important person -- only for xbalanque / gosoythoth to latch onto her light with the biting dark and capture her whole in its claws. while alight in flame from the pyro element , lumine is weakened by the abyss that's seeping into her core from the night kingdom's corruption and this kills her outright. her sacrifice comes at the price of her body being crushed under the oppressive weight of the darkness ; having being seized, devoured and core destroyed.

YOU HAVE DESTROYED THIS WORLD'S HOPE WITH YOUR OWN HANDS.

ral'ion , the goddess of light , sister of the god of death , ree'nia ( or better known now as ronova , ruler of death ) held the broken core in her hands , full of sorrow for the end that one of the last of Her children had suffered --- her life has only just begun , suffering and war has been the former Empresses friend for so long. its unfair. She cradled the dimming star essence between Her hands , allowing it to just barely hold shape when it was so close to extinguishing. the world , this new world , still deserved hope for a better tomorrow. darkness had consumed her , yet the chants of hope from the people of natlan broke through. now , i take inspiration from final fantasy xiv's final trial in endwalker with endsinger here , wherein the warrior of light has most very likely been swallowed by oblivion only for their comrades to stand against fate with their belief and hope for survival. in saying this , lumine's core , broken and destroyed and just having her pieces still together by Her grace , is only mended by the hope of the people of natlan that she and mavuika survive. its the hope for their friend and in their future that brings her back from death into the night kingdom. the universe once again knew light in the form of a star that has become teyvat's hope for a better future. for a brief moment , the star wasn't chained by the heavenly principles -- her power and authority restored by hope and light -- and natlan's archon brought fire down upon the biting dark and won.

WHICH SPECIFICALLY NAMED COLOR DO YOU EMBODY ? ft. lumine

aureolin

you are the rock in every friend group , the pillar of your family , and the foundation of which others love to build their ideologies on. you are their pride and joy of knowing right from wrong , and you also pride yourself on it. the world loves you , and you love it. people count on you and you love to see them praise you for the things you naturally are good at. it's a wonderful time , for you. but the days are short when you believe in yourself , and the nights are oh so long when you don't want to sleep - after all , you have a mask to polish , don't you ?

what character archetype are you ? ft. abyss lumine.

reflection

you are the most versatile and complicated character archetype. you are the best friend , the sidekick , the character foil , the grudging ally. if this story had taken place a few years earlier or later , you would be the hero. but this is not your story , you are just telling it. you are either going to die at the climax in the hero's arms or betray the hero in an excruciating way. the question is : excruciating for who ?

( bold what applies. italicize what sometimes applies. repost, don’t reblog. )

DRACULA.－ cold to the touch. flickering light. cold breath upon your neck. billowing white gowns. midnight strolls. pearl trimmed bands. the fall from grace. indulging in your deepest desires. the fear of outsiders. dark imaginations. bloodstained sheets. something lurking in the shadows. the urge to run away. glowing eyes in the darkness. the scent of garlic. preying on the weak. the power to both bring and take life. THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GREY. ー old bookshelves. kisses on the hand. a drug-induced stupor. the pursuit of pleasure. devotion to the finer things in life. prizing youth and beauty above all. paying the ultimate price. blood red errors painted over in white snow. breaking the heart of the one you love. losing what’s left of your humanity. FRANKESTEIN. ー frantic sketches. the stench of something rotten. a scream from the woods. unorthodox beliefs. candles burning out. the crunch of leaves. dangerous knowledge. contemplating existence. the chill of winter in your bones. dark ambitions. prometheus reborn. the contrast between life and death. THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. ー false accusations. taking justice into your own hands. justice. elaborate schemes. playing upon others’ weaknesses. the solitude of the ocean. an ever-changing identity. an alienation from humanity. dissatisfaction in your life. escaping from prison.

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.

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 ?

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.
