#lumi lore here and there lol

Lighter x Reader, but it’s doomed. By that I mean the relationship is impossible. Lighter just can't open up, he just can't bear losing one more and being used like the debt collectors used him. So he made a vow to not make deep connections to spare himself the pain of loss. He cares about the Sons of Calydon, he says that it’s just a basic level friendship, but they’re like family to him. He denies it, but once he realizes, he’ll shut himself out. The same happens to his and the reader's relationship, and the reader can't stop it, they’re helpless. No matter how hard they try to help, Lighter’s walls are too built up, too hard to break down. If the relationship gets started, which I doubt it will, will just be constant stress for the reader, constant arguments about Lighter shutting himself out and not making an attempt to heal, and constant pain on both sides. No matter how much they love each other, pain will get in the way.

Can you tell this is based on Ekko and Jinx’s relationship and the song “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” from Arcane?

ooh this one hits a little close to home as i used to be someone that couldn’t handle letting my walls down for another to come in and love me. i don’t have much to add on, in all honesty.

but i can completely see this happening and a part of me does wish that he actually interacted with us (proxy) like this in game. i know we heard his deepest secrets and all but i do think that lighter loves really slowly. the slowest burn of the century and it isn’t really his fault. trauma responses and all, he doesn’t want it to happen again.

i do think lighter genuinely has care and love for you. it’s just the fear of loving and losing, he cant just make empty promises when he knows that he’ll go back to bad habits again. so he’d much rather spare you of it all, he believes he’s difficult to love in that way. he knows that being with you is painful and definitely not good for the both of you, he really does want to heal himself but maybe not all wounds can be healed by the love of another.

it’s hard actually to write for lighter and not feel the need to write a slowburn. maybe i should do one, idk if people would like it though. thank you for this and i haven’t kept up with arcane but i shall assume that this is the general meaning of the song.

i keep forgetting to post my responses to wol/oc questions over here OTL so here's a little hoard of elf facts

Compare your height to your wol/oc's!!!

rune is short tall. lumi is tall short . together none of us are tall lol

rune is shorter than elezen min height. lumi is taller than max lala. i'm me sized.

first drawing and most recent!

rune was very briefly a pink witch before going tits out cowboy at an alarmingly speed (shit actually i need to draw more cowboy)

i will always find it funny how fast i also went from drawing like steven universe and cute magical girls to "i will now only draw my scrunkly as shit elf. they are literally the only thing i want to draw" and i've learned so much from that lol

i think it was literally like a month between cute witch and fantasia thoughts fffkfflff (that art is from like june, so here's a more recent one cause i love comparisons :D )

for those with wols/ocs that have names that don't follow their race's naming conventions: why did you choose that name?

rune is an alias they chose to avoid being tracked after leaving sharlayan, only to later find out no one had enough interest in their research to warrant finding them :| but they liked it so it stuck

they do have a proper elezen name but i keep changing it cause i'm indecisive, but also they'd only use rune around most people anyways so it's fine fffff someone says they're good at inscribing runes one time and they make it their whole thing

ooc reason is cause i name all my game characters some variant of rune aren after my first skyrim character so i don't spend 6 hours on the character create screen and i didn't think i'd like playing enough to worry about a lore compliant name OTL

#wolqotd player question — are you younger or older than your WoL and did any thought go into their age?

I had rune around 30, then I mathed a bunch figuring out how long it took jannequinard and leveva to learn astromancy, and serendipity goldsmithing, how old they'd be at the sharlayan exodus, and how long it'd take to become an archon...to end up at 30 again OTL

oh I'm gonna be rune age next year fghffgfffgf

Lumi is 32 and had a similar thing but figuring out how old she'd have to be to have a red mage stone, and training in a bunch of fields. I've been thinking she should be a little older though...

Other than you wol(oc)’s current hair color, what color would they dye it?

rune naturally has greyish brown hair, they get the top bleached, this is an excuse for me to show them with their hair grown out lol

I've tried them with yellow before which worked surprisingly well, they'd try any colour as long as it keeps the two-tone

what does your wol/oc think about archon loaf? are they from sharlayan? was 5.3 the first time they tried it?

rune is sharlyan. unfortunately. they love it. even after leaving they still eat it when they wanna work instead of make real food. eating a proper meal will make them sob with how nice it tastes, then later they're back to eating the stupid loaf again.

their mum grew up near gridania and makes a somewhat nicer version without the fish. it still has most of the uh- qualities of a traditional archon loaf though

@truethes - hey, hey, hey miles do you know its been about 3 months since we started following each other and that each month has been just as, if not, more of a wonder being your mutual? navigating new rpcs are so hard but getting to meet and interact with you has been an absolute honour and i cannot thank you enough for your kind and welcoming behaviour, especially when you know how much of an absolute slowpoke i am both on here and on discord. your love for your muses is absolutely beautiful and something i truthfully? really, really admire when it comes to a multimuse blog. your muses feel like your family, your friends, people you have come to know so intricately and are unafraid to show it. from headcanons to thoughts, the way you're willing to go above and beyond for them, it's absolutely beautiful to see a post on my dash from you, because i know that no matter what it will be filled with the love and understanding of one who wishes to give them above and beyond on what is inferred. your lumine lore is INCREDIBLE and i hope you know that, the whole universe you've created for a character who's series seems to treat them as a spare limb in places. i have come to love lumi more because of your lumi. same with all the other muses you've come to bring to our attention. i hope you have a lovely 2025, that things go well for you and that everything works out. you're doing great, so don't you ever think you have the opportunity to forget that. because i will come back, again and again and again, to remind you as such. so don't you ever go forgetting it! \ 2024 is almost over!

OF SACRIFICE. what if i fucking cried what then LOL. but god like ?? this means a whole lot. i work really hard on my muses ( even though some are lacking dossiers pls let me live i have over 20 ) to make them feel real and alive and not just one dimensional or whatever. im ridiculous when it comes to canon content and will spend hours reading or researching something i don't know because its fun ???

its very warming to know that i've had a bit of influence in helping someone like a character more, much less the mc of a fuckin gacha game of all things -- because god i love my stupid lil celestial clown and im ;w; to know that its seen and enjoyed.

i'm super glad to know you and always know that my patience is literally in the clouds ( i work for a call centre it has to be up there ) so slowpoke or not i'm gonna be here for da fun and games on tumblr or discord <3

[rosafulmen-a]

-drops my url in here- :3

My Opinion on;

Character in general: Lumi, if I talked about every character you had in your arsenal I'd be here until Christmas LOL. However, you know you play some of my favourites, and I'm pretty sure if I suggested a canon to write you'd dive in and learn their lore in less than twenty-four hours. The amount of characters you have is both phenomenal and terrifying. How they play them: Again, phenomenal and terrifying. Though I don't know all the characters you play to give an individual assessment, the ones I do know and I've seen you write are all done amazingly. How you manage to swap voices/personalities so seamlessly is a talent I WISH I had. I'm lucky to be able to swap from Lightning to Yuna without at least a half an hour break in between. The Mun: You're such a funny and outgoing person. I consider myself an extrovert, but you absolutely eclipse my own capacities in the best way. I love that nothing seems daunting to you, and you approach your craft with all the thrill and excitement that it deserves. It's something I admire for sure.

Do I:

RP with them: I plan on it! I know I've got some asks and vice versa. Want to RP with them: Yes!

What is my;

Overall Opinion: Lumi scares me in the best way. That is all.

DQXI OC Week!!

Hi friends!! Last year I wrote a little fic called Begin Again. Fic spoilers (and major in-game spoilers for the end of Act 2/Act3) and Lumi ramblings below the cut!

HERE HE IS! Okay stay with me because I’m almost to the point of confusing myself with my own lore.

Lumi is half of El’s soul. When he failed and Yggdrasil fell (and he died. oop.) Yggdrasil split his soul in two. Half woke back up in Cobblestone ala time loop, while the other half (who ends up being Lumi) was stored in Time’s Sphere.

Blah blah fic lore, the crack in Time’s Sphere from when Serenica broke it is what allowed El’s time loops in the first place. So when they venture to the Tower of Lost Time to seal that crack with El’s power, Lumi appeared after they left, finally released from the Time Sphere. Poor thing just woke up with the Timekeeper like “um. excuse me???”

But I digress.

Fast forward to where they come face-to-face in Phnom Nonh. Canon El is a little taller, a little older. He’s seen some Shit, right? So after discovering that there is another him running around and that they are indeed the same person, everyone has questions. I imagine El being like “Well. this might as well happen.”

To differentiate between the two identical Luminaries, they name the newbie “Lumi”, and they decide he needs a convincing disguise since there’s only one Luminary to the public’s knowledge, and they’d rather keep it that way for simplicity’s sake. 

And lo, my son is born! I stole this child and adopted the crap out of him.

I still really like the scene where he cuts and dyes his hair. His internal monologue in the story mentions wanting to distance himself from his past and turn over a new leaf in this timeline, and changing his name and how he presented himself was one way to do that. It was also a good way to show him becoming his own person.

It took a bit of a meltdown for Lumi to feel truly accepted. He felt like an outsider while everyone else had an extra year or so together that he’d missed. He struggles with his anger over being locked away in the time sphere, but with the help of the others (mostly Jasper!!) he’s able to work past it.

He’s a little sassier and more sarcastic than El. He’s a gremlin, kinda. I love him.

At the end of the fic he merges back with El into one person, souls recombined. As much of a nice, tie-it-all-up ending that is, what if Lumi could have stayed his own person? Maybe I’ll make a follow-up to this post with some ideas, or if you have any, feel free to jump into my ask box, or yell at me on discord! :D Let’s build an oc lol

[rogue-of-broken-time]

Discord happenings from Day 2:

-Some cute pets were shared!! :D

-PANIC

-FIRE AND PANIC

-AAAAAAAAAAAH

-Some good nice PMA™ reminders for everyone to take care of themselves during the aforementioned fire that honestly made me very happy to see :D

-"y'know, for someone with a broken clock as an icon you sure do have good timing for making this server"

-@isa-ghost shared some sweet bunker HC's and lore (before everyone realized I was listening in to the voice chat, then they proceeded to pretend to theorize since it was the Theorist Library VC lol)

-"rOGUE STOP" (Me: ":D") "I SEE YOU SMILING IN THE CHAT ROGUE"

-Nora joined the party also!! (And then me and Booper were semi-joking about how we need Fin and Lumi to join in since we have us, Nora, and Huffle in the server and we could finally Unite™)

-People heard my voice for the first time hehehe :3 (I almost wasn't going to join in because my voice is Atrocious but I couldn't resist lol)

-One thing led to another and now there's a Cards Against Humanity channel. (I've been informed that this was grave mistake on my part, but I'm… actually slightly curious to see what might come out of that lol)

-And a new development: some solid Lumi Appreciation™ (*cough cough* @lum1natrix *cough*)

All in all, 'twas a good day thus far! This is turning out to be much more fun than I thought, and again I'm wowed at how many people have joined so far?? I think there's like, actually 80 people and I'm kinda in shock that so many people like it?? But I've laughed a lot harder today than I have for a long time, so thank you guys :3

(We're always letting in new people if you wanna join! It gets fun at the peak of the day, haha. The link is right here!)

Yuletide 2018 Letter

Dear Yuletide Author,

I’m Echoslam on AO3. Thank you very much for checking out this letter! 

General Information:

Likes: Any kind of AU, romance, friendship, introspection, worldbuilding, smut, canon-appropriate pop culture references, humor (all kinds - comedic situations, witty dialogue, running gags, memes, etc. Seriously, if you’ve ever wanted to experiment with bizarre crack, I’d be happy to be your guinea pig). I also *love* metafiction and nods to quirky game mechanics and canon in-jokes.

DNWs: Body waste kinks, poly, bestiality, non-canon incest

Most of my favorite works tend to be character studies and fluffy romance, but I definitely enjoy darker stuff as well, if that is your thing. Feel free to ignore my prompts and go with your own ideas! If there's a story you've always wanted to write, please have at it, and let me share your enthusiasm. I'm a huge fan of all of these games and am just so excited at the thought of reading fic for any of them.  

Links by Fandom:

Heroes of Might and Magic III Girls' Frontline The Secret World Liar! Uncover the Truth Liar! Office Deception Liar! Scheming Socialites

Heroes of Might and Magic III - Any Character 

I just about had a heart attack when I saw this in the tagset - I've loved HoMM since I was a kid, and III is my favorite in the series. Truly, the turn-based strategy game of my heart. I loved all flavor text in this game, especially the snippets of lore on the heroes and their backstories. If you're writing about any of them, I'd love all kinds of details - from their army composition to the spells and artifacts they have equipped.

Prompts:

Lorelei and Synca relationship development, whether as friends, enemies, or lovers. Since their specialties are harpies and manticores, respectively, how does that work out in combat? Technically, you couldn't have multiple heroes on your side of the battlefield until HoMMIV, but how would these two interact if they were fighting together?  

Anything based on the story campaigns. Maybe missing scenes from Dungeons & Devils or a "bad" ending for Long Live the Queen where the Nighon forces are victorious?

Detailed description of the siege and takeover of an enemy stronghold or the development of a new township.

One of the game mechanics that I always found interesting was how, when you open a treasure chest, you have the option of taking the gold or "distributing it to the peasants" for experience. Is that really how it works? What is the peasants' view of the heroes in this game?

少女前线 | Girls' Frontline - Any Character

Another wonderful surprise in the tagset! I just started playing GFL this year, and I've found it extremely fun and addicting. I actually found the plot very engaging, and the armory of T-Dolls is irresistibly cute.

Prompts:

I love the idea of a gift exchange between members of the Anti-Rain Squad. Maybe someone gives M16A1 a bottle of her beloved Jack Daniels?

Orchestra AU! Just...anything based on this picture would be amazing.

Anything focusing on team dynamics, especially if you want to incorporate references to game mechanics (different T-Dolls and their buffs/active skills, etc.) Or hurt/comfort after an intense firefight.

You know how T-Dolls are made of sugar, spice, and everything nice a combo of manpower, ammo, rations, and parts? How exactly does the factory utilize those resources? What do they even do with all those meals ready-to-eat?

Coffee shop AU starring Persica (the woman loves her caffeine).  

The Secret World - Any Character

One of the best MMO experiences of my life. TSW combined so many things I love into one game: an awesome modern setting, dark humor, and an incredible story with amazing characters. I play the Legends reboot from time-to-time, but I prefer the original version and still like to play on the vanilla server (kind of fun having an entire MMO to yourself, heh). I've also played the tie-in game, The Park, and really loved that as well.

I was fascinated by all the narrative details in this game, like the lore honeycombs and ambient story telling. If you could incorporate that into your writing, that would be fantastic.

Prompts:

Long ago, on the TSW forums, someone mocked the idea of a schmoopy Sonnac/Geary romance as a terrible idea for a fic - I want to read that story! Whether you want to make it complete crack or be serious about it, I would love to see something develop between these two. Maybe they go on a date for tacos at Dante's stall? Or maybe Geary tries to troll Sonnac somehow, and he plays along until the last minute...and then snark ensues.

Issue #5: The Vanishing of Tyler Freeborn is my favorite for a reason: filthy NPCs. I would love to know what filth-infected versions of Geary and Sonnac would be like.  

Anything Moose/Andy. This is the romance I was waiting to see blossom, but alas, it never did. What happens when Andy finally catches on to Moose's crush on him? How about rescue romance or rides on Moose's chopper? Pining on Moose's end, requited or unrequited, would be good, too.

I love the world of this game so much, especially the urban areas (the faction hubs, Fusang, Tokyo) and New England. Would love to read anything about a bee of any faction exploring and going on missions, their opinion of their handler, etc. Please do go into excruciating detail about your bee's gear and abilities, because I'm all about that. What are there primary/secondary/auxiliary weapons? Which NPCs are their besties? Tell me everything!  For the record, my main was a Lumie that chose not to side with the Dreamers, but I'd by happy to read about any faction/alignment.

I adore faction rivalries, and the ones in TSW were just awesome. Whether it's old school Templars vs. Illuminati or you get the Dragon involved somehow, I just love witnessing all the contention. Seriously, you could just write 1,000 words of back-and-forth trash talk, and I would absolutely adore it.  

ダウト～嘘つきオトコは誰？～ | Doubt ~Usotsuki Otoko wa Dare?~ | Liar! Uncover the Truth - Any Character

Since last year, I’ve become a huge fan of this mystery/romance app with its feisty heroine and the quirky Liars she has to unmask before finding her Mr. Right. If you’re interested, I maintain a sideblog dedicated to it over @whoistheliar​ as well as a random screenshots blog: @liarscreenshots. (Warning for spoilers at both links).

All of the characters in this game,"Mr. Right" included, have their own imperfections, and it feels like half the point of this game is giving you the opportunity to navigate your feelings about certain character flaws. I love how MC isn’t a blank slate and is very much her own character. She can be quite a mess at home and has a lot of insecurity about her humble background, seeing as she’s originally from a small country town (IIRC one of Joe’s side stories mentions that she’s from Akita prefecture).  

I definitely enjoyed the sequel stories, but I'm more fond of the main route of the game. Shipfic revolving around MC is something I would love to see, but I would be open to other pairings as well, especially between secondary characters. I would also welcome gen or friendship fic.

Prompts:

I loved the multiple endings you could unlock at the end of every chapter and the insight they gave into each Liar's backstory. Anything expanding on those would be great, especially the True or Love endings. I really enjoyed seeing POV from other characters besides MC.

Love triangles are my guilty pleasure, and I would definitely enjoy reading a situation where MC has to choose between two of the Liars and/or Mr. Right/Ayumi. Would love it if things got Very Emotional.

I always like marriage/honeymoon/married life stories, and MC's occupation as a wedding planner complements that wonderfully. How does she get her love interests or friends involved? Are there wedding crashers? Will she serve takoyaki at the wedding??

In the main story, MC found out each Liar's secret before things got too serious, but what if the emotional stakes had been much higher? For any of the Liars, would MC react differently if she didn't find out the truth until after falling in love over a longer period of time? Basically, I'd like to see your take on a "Bad Ending."

So, after following this game for a while, it seems that other players have very strong opinions about the various Liars, so in case it helps you, here's a summary of my take on them:

1st Liar: SQUICK. SQUICK. SQUICK. Honestly, they seems like a very nice guy in all their side stories, but stil...squick.

2nd Liar: I find their profession very interesting, so I'm a bit biased in their favor, despite their true nature. Could see them with MC after getting a ton of therapy. They also definitely have some chemistry with the 9th Liar, lol.

3rd Liar: I can't bring myself to hate them; they're just too ridiculous. Side note: I really like Nanyami as a character.

4th Liar: Never forget the fountain pen!! This guy is a bit of a tragedy, so I do have some sympathy, but imo that slap from MC was well-deserved.

5th Liar: I think the fandom unequivocally regards this one as complete garbage, and for very good reason. Still, I have to admit that their side stories appeal to my morbid side (it's like they're in a bizzarro world where MC's personality is completely erased). Also, I do find their character design very attractive - I'm not proud.

6th Liar: Umph. Definitely in my top tier along with 7th Liar. In terms of sheer chemistry with MC, I think this guy wins hands down. I'd be up for both seeing them walk away from the issue that makes them a Liar or embracing it.

7th Liar: They made me cry buckets. I love them with MC so much, and the way they're always smiling through their pain just makes my heart ache.

8th Liar: Out of all of the Liars, I felt that #8 was the most outright malicious. I just wasn’t convinced by the ending of his Lover’s Route. I know he's damn attractive, but wow, that attitude...

9th Liar: I really feel like the 9th Liar got the short end of the stick in the main story. His interactions with MC kept getting interrupted by unnecessary drama, and it felt like they never got the chance to really get to know each other. Also, LOVE Rumi!

"Mr. Right": It seems that people are really divided on this one. Some see him as the most precious cinnamon roll, but people have also told me that he comes off as a creepy stalker. (I've seen him  get called problematic more than once). I’m pretty sympathetic towards him myself, but I’d love to see your own take on him, whether romantic and sentimental or super dark.

ダウト～オフィスは男女の嘘だらけ～ | Doubt ~Ofisu wa Danjo no Uso Darake~ | Liar! Office Deception - Any Character

I love the Liar! sequel every bit as much as the original game. You can bet that I’m super hyped that Voltage is going to be releasing Lover’s Routes for it in the future. Office MC was very no-nonsense, and I would like to see what she would be like in the process of falling in love, or even just getting a chance to let her hair down and hang out with her coworkers.  

Prompts:

Post-game or redemption story revolving around any of the Liars, with the exception of the 2nd, 3rd and 5th. Ideally, this would end on a positive note with them being able to have a reciprocal friendship/romance with MC.

Office Battle! I was so amused by the Star Wars parody that kept popping up throughout the story and how everyone seemed to be totally into it except for MC, who’s just completely out of the loop. Maybe one of the Office Liars tries to teach her about the series or something like an Office Battle AU that’s basically Office Deception in space?

Narration of some part of the game from James’ POV. I loved MC’s cat and found it hilarious how she kept spoiling him at home while being so disciplined at the office.

Liar! Commentary:

1st Liar: Honestly, I thought they were super cute, and I wanted to see them make some more Cactaur cookies for MC.

2nd Liar: What a tool. I have to admit, I was amused by them sucking up to MC for the rest of the game after being found out.

3rd Liar: I thought they were going to be my 7th Liar 2.0, but N O P E. I found their backstory a little amusing, but they're just so slimy.

4th Liar: A real sweetheart. I love that they become MC's right-hand coworker after their chapter.

5th Liar: Not a fan of Rat Face McGee, tbh. Wtf, dude.

6th Liar: I have a weakness for "falling in love with the mark" scenarios and really wanted see it work out with this Liar. I also loved the idea of them going on to work for Uncover the Truth's 6th Liar, as was suggested in their Dumbass Ending and one of the sidestories.

7th Liar: DEEP SIGH. I love them despite their self-centered/obsessive actions. Will always be a fan of them pursuing MC, whether requited or not.

8th Liar: I like their kink, lol, and their accusation scene was hilarious. I really wish their behavior had been less invasive.

9th Liar: Just like with 6th Liar, I like to believe that they really cared for MC at the end. I think they were a perfect "Final Boss" for Office Deception especially compared to the more one-note villains. They did some horrible things to get what they wanted, even putting the 8th Liar in the hospital, but I’ve always wanted to see something that shows some of their inner conflict once they realize they’re hurting someone that has actually become a friend to them.

"Destined Partner": They've grown on me a bit, but one thing that definitely put me off was how they threw the 8th Liar under the bus during their route. (Sure, tell MC they've got a dirty secret and don't clarify at all as to what it is...) Seems like they're hiding a spiteful streak.

ダウト～セレブは華麗に嘘をつく～ | Doubt ~Serebu wa Karei ni Usowotsuku~ | Liar! Scheming Socialites - Any Character

I almost mistyped the title above as Liar! Screaming Socialites, but honestly that would be a pretty apt name for this game, because wow, does this cast go off the rails. The chapters are shorter than in previous routes, and MC is a bit more passive. I was worried this was going to be too "Gossip Girl" for my tastes, but I actually really enjoyed this one, even if my heart did get stomped on once again. (Loved the hyper Eurobeat accusation music - it was like something out of Initial D).  

Prompts:

Ship fic with MC and 8th or 9th Liar. Love triangle maybe? There's so much that was left unexplored at the end of the game. Would MC abandon her lifestyle or try win her parents over? Something based on one of the love endings would be great as well.

I also adore the potential Liar that turned out to be MC’s true BFF through thick and thin. I love how they're both anime fans and their favorite shows are clearly based on Touken Ranbu and Land of the Lustrous. Also, what exactly was BFF doing to test the 8th Liar during that awkward scene at the mountain resort in the 7th Liar chapter? I really wanted details on that, but it never got explained.

Okay headcanon: Given the similar detailing on their dresses, I think Kyoko and Reina shop at the same place. What would an interaction between them be like? Would they dish about their respective MCs?  

Liar! Commentary:

1st Liar: I have nothing but pity for this poor kid. Definitely see them still being friends with MC.

2nd Liar: Ick. One of my least favorite among all the Liars. Would like to see them get some comeuppance for their actions.

3rd Liar: This one hurt. Would really like to see them redeem themselves. Maybe they were secretly attracted to MC the whole time and just wanted to get her attention?

4th Liar: I enjoyed investigating their elaborate lie, but as a character they really fell flat for me.

5th Liar: WOW. That escalated quickly. I have to say, the 5th Liars in these games are probably the best fodder for something grim and disturbing. I think the implied rape in the bad ending was the darkest point in the entire series.

6th Liar: It felt like, with this Liar, Voltage was trying to have their cake and eat it too. Like, "Oh nooo, they're so kinky!" *wink wink* I actually really liked them despite their being the token kidnapper.  

7th Liar: I hated the way this Liar was presented. Their friendship with MC was really nice, but then it just had to get ruined.  

8th Liar: MC’s rejection of them was devastating to me. They really won me over despite the nature of their lie, and I really believed it when they claimed their feelings were sincere. For someone who was supposedly trying to con her, they did a hilariously bad job of it - like, they never tried to pressure her when she was vulnerable and even set up this really over-the-top charade just to make her happy, only for it to be what gets them exposed. It's almost like they were setting themselves up to fail. I really need a Lover's Route...

9th Liar: Surprise plot twist! This Liar was set up for some really interesting development which...did not happen. Would have loved to have seen more of their inner conflict. I ship them with MC the most after 8th Liar.

"Destined Partner": Definitely cute, but I found them to be rather pushy when they brought MC over to their place. Also, what ever happened to the pet rabbit?  

Thank you so much for your time! Hope you have a great rest of the year and a wonderful Yuletide.

Woah there, Lumi anon, now let's just take a beat here to get our heads straight. jk shout all you want. Lumi's are so basic and soooo many cs share this kind of chubby anthro style (which I like so that's an overused cs trait I don't mind seeing lol.) But almost every artist posts a new cs without coming up with the lore first much less even come up with one. Sound more like you hate Lemmy rather than Lumis ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
