#kinda wanna edit it actually i feel like my perception of the traveler has changed at least a Little bit since then even if its overall-

[pinkseas]

I would literally go feral if Hoyo did a xiaolumi update, like an amazing story with these two. I just love how healthy it is, how it's been built up from the second version of the game, how every little thing that happens and what they do makes it so obvious they love each other. They screech qpr in the best way possible.

Also ouch A pearl really does fit Xiao. Can't help but imagine him at night holding his anemo vision, the "pearl" he can't even really remember getting without a something to let him get it. He just rolls it in his hands at night for it to glow cause he doesn't know what else to do expect fear the idea of loving someone like Lumine. yah this song is his

Also Lumine kinda gives off a "Goodbye my Danish sweetheart" by mitski vibe a bit

Sorry for the odd ask just wanted to blurt out a little about this.

no need to be sorry i promise !!!!! inbox is always open

and man. Man. no bc they care So Much.... even looking at the most basic parts of the game just. xiao's letters and speech and mannerisms and his Everything w/ how he Very Much trusts and cares about the traveler makes me so !!!!! and yeah most characters care about the traveler at Least a little bit if not a lot but xiao. Xiao Just Does It So Damn Well

TELL ME WHY A PEARL STARTED PLAYING AGAIN AS IM TYPING THIS ohhhhhhhh xiao my xiao such a careful love in his heart unable to so much as reach out and touch it because his hands are as bloodied and war torn as the rest of him and all they'd do is ruin it, unable to accept in the first place that he's capable of feeling something so gentle when his very soul is irreversibly tainted... what place do soft things have in one such as him? what are they to do but bleed?

i am going. to Explode. i havent thought much about any mitski song (save pink in the night and a pearl) for any genshin character but ohhh my god ohhhhhhhhh my god.

yeah the rest of the song has the vibe but THAT. that's lumi through and through <3 <- definitely not biased at all towards characterizing protags like this
