Bro I swear if Kaitou Joker meets Lyney from Genshin he'd 100% laugh his ass off at him like he's an asshole he'd totally do that

I don't know why he'd do that he just would because he's that much of a bastard

i know for a fact that dr ratio would be a fucking NUISANCE during a trial

Honestly, it took me months till I finally properly appreciated Focalors' character. (And it was probably obvious for most people but I'm an idiot who took a while to realise this. Lol)

Back when we first met her, something felt a bit off about Focalors. At least, that's how I felt. Her calming demeanour, the way she sounded so neutral about her crazy plan, how she never wavered a single time when explaining Furina's role. (Heck, the "So anways, then I cursed her" line became a meme. Lol)

Compare her to Neuvillette during the scene. The Hydro Sovereign who once never cared about humanity, was absolutely distraught once he realised what Furina went through. He sounded like he was in the absolute verge of tears the longer Focalors talked.

I think it was the first time I saw a God act like a benevolent, all divine being in the game. The other Archons, for all their developing understanding of humanity, still felt flawed and human under all that divinity.

That's when I finally realised what Focalors lacked throughout her scene: Her humanity. She truly felt like a God above her people, who had plans for her people and there was barely an doubt for failure because it felt like she was truly in control. For all her talk about saving humanity, she sounded so weirdly detached, even when her actions said otherwise.

Do not get me wrong, this is not a complaint on her character. It was just an observation I had. I was alright that Focalors felt different from the other Archons we met during our journey. Similar to how I was alright if we saw Ei under an antagonistic light.

But then it hit me like a brick thrown from across the room and I'm an idiot for forgetting this fact whne it was clearly stated... Focalors' humanity wasn't lacking, just removed from her entirely. Her humanity was in the shape of Furina.

Before everything that has happened, Focalors was once a human. Before she was even human, she longed to live life as a human. And when Egeria granted that wish for the oceanids, it was a dream come true. Her wish was to live and feel her humanity. To feel the everyday emotions and experiences that every humans encounter, to laugh, to cry, everything. Even when she sounded so neutral during the scene, she clearly expressed her love for humanity.

And honestly, it must've been difficult to completely split her humanity away from herself, the very thing she longed for, all for the possibility that Fontaine could be saved from the prophecy. For all the messed up stuff she had to put Furina through, she too screwed herself.

So let's imagine this:

If Furina was a representation of Focalors' humanity, and Furina was an absolute emotional mess during it...What did Focalors feel when she came to the conclusion that her humanity had to be seperated from her?

From everything we learned about Focalors, I think it's safe to assume that it was probably one of the most heartbreaking things she had experience.

And just like Furina, she sacrificed it for her people. It finally made me appreciate Focalors more.

Random idea: What if we just made Bennett and Aventurine as a duo? What then? Lol

Put two different sides of luck together to make chaos.

There are two facts about Shadow/Cyan that I feel like is a little bit overlooked in fan creations, be visual artwork or writing:

According to the first of the two CD dramas, Shadow apparently practices his diction religiously in front of the mirror, presumably as a part of whatever daily routine he maintains.

While a specific nationality is never mentioned (par for the course for all but a very few of the characters of this series, actually), something that is true for all adaptations of the series as we know it is that Cyan and his sister are from some smallish, backwater sort of town with very little contact with the outside world. In short, he's a bumpkin.

We already knew that a lot of how he presents himself is an affectation; the practice with his articulation really isn't that big of a stretch, given what we already knew about him. He's probably somewhere between "refined villain" and "rough antihero" archetypes, as per the sorts of media he seemed to enjoy (I wonder if the village procured bootleg DVDs for the children's entertainment, or something?). Him behaving as a showy (and let's not forget, edgy) character for his own gratification is utilized fairly well by the fan base, I reckon. But something that hasn't been tapped, even if it has been acknowledged in a few places, is that he came from a small town; an isolated community that probably relied on farming and livestock.

Thusly, I propose a couple of things with regards to how people can approach writing his character:

Give him his moments of proper articulation, a little to the point of excess, depending on how powerful/enigmatic/important he is trying to make himself appear. (Or if he's just in an exceptionally good mood, already feeling kind of cool, etc.)

Have this facade slip sometimes; whether it be because he is tired, relaxed, or suddenly surprised and/or taken aback, give him some kind of country vibe. If I was talking really hardcore, you'd have him speak in whatever native language you headcanon that he speaks, but specifically a suitable rural regional dialect; giving him anything from an exaggerated written country drawl, to a noticeable yet moderately informal dialect would do, though. I get that it'd be awfully hard to accurately depict what you've never heard before, and might not be very well documented.

All of this is just for fun, mind. Generally speaking, it's something that I'd like to do myself, provided I can remember to do it, and that the opportunity arises to insert it into one of my stories.

I am a Dainsleif x Lumine shipper. It is one of the few well known Dain ships that still continues to persist after every Dain quest we get.

But personally, I'm not into the abyss Lumine ship. I'm actually into the Dainsleif x Traveler Lumine ship.

It just does stuff to my hurt/comfort loving heart. Gosh darn it. :'D

Two immortal travelers travelling for different purposes. For Dain, to stop the Abyss and their plans. For Lumine, mainly to find their twin, Aether. Because of these purposes, both travelers do not settle permanently in one place. They continue to traverse the lands of Teyvat for their sole purposes, with no place they can truly call home because that home is lone gone. The home that is his godless nation, and the home she considers her brother.

Although different, one of the common things they have is their relationship with Aether. For as much as they would never attempt to hide their disdain and caution for the Abyss, a part of them still hesitates when Aether is in the picture.

The idea of them not only bonding over their experiences with Aether, but also find some comfort in one another as kinda lonely travelers just gets me. The two could just be together in the woods, cooking with their campfires, Paimon rambling whatever she could talk about and Lumine bickering with her back, Paimon sometimes dragging Dain to the convo, and etc. And the two then briefly talk about their fond memories of Aether, or how despite meeting many people in various nations, it sometimes still feels lonely.

Lumine's known for helping her friends and allies out. So naturally, she'd want to help Dain as well. I think his Chasm quest alone showed that even in Dain's most vulnerable, she will be there.

But Dain helping her out, returning that favour by being there for her, would give Lumine the very support she needed throughout her travels.

Paimon will always be her closest and dearest companion, but Lumine couldn't have it in her to tell Paimon of her deepest, ugliest doubts and despairs. Maybe it would've been too much to put on her, to taint that bond with nothing but so much negativity. (Even though I believe that Paimon would stay true to her no matter what horrible doubts she could tell her.)

Dain could not only comfort her, but in a way, somewhat understand her. The two lonely travelers, with different purposes and values, yet still find some comfort in each other.

Okay. Most of these are just headcanons or how I hope their relationship could be down the line. Doesn't even have to be romantic nor does it have to be Lumine as the Traveler. Platonic works and Traveler Aether can still be applied. (Dain x Traveler Lumine just has a soft spot in my heart.)

Basically, please continue making Dain an honorary traveling companion. Put some emphasis to that fact please. :'D

If not for the rant I provided, then do it for the potential of funny interactions between Paimon and Dain. Those two as a duo sounds weirdly hilarious. Lol
