Traveler Lumine - Tumblr Posts

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

"I'm a Lumine simp but I prefer her as the Abyss Princess"

"I love Lumine and I choose her, but I don’t care if she isn't in the official contents"

Shut the fuck up. You're a fake Lumine lover.

I am now obsessed with the idea of Lumi knowing other descenders that sometimes stop by Teyvat just to say hi to her.

I mean, if she and her brother have been traveling between worlds for so long, they are bound to meet others that do the same. With Lumine’s curious nature, she would most likely come over to chat with those people and exchange stories, and perhaps even traveling together for a while.

With her being as lovable as she is, those other travelers sometimes decide to follow her to some other worlds just to see how she’s doing. Y’know, like ancient beings who have been friends for centuries and occasionally meet up in random worlds.

Now, imagine if one of them stops by Teyvat because they haven’t seen her in a while (500 years coma and all that jazz) and were starting to get worried.

Now think of her harem’s reaction when they see this hot looking creature, that clearly knows more abt Lumine than they could ever hope to and to wrap thing up with a nice little bow, they can follow her to any world she ends up in.

I think some of them would be fascinated to se another being like Lumine but change their minds after seeing how chummy they act around each other. (Like Albedo, Venti, Kaeya, Zhongli, Cyno, Tighnari and Diluc)

While others would be the personification of jealousy. They don’t care who this person is, they just want them away from Lumine. (Scara and Childe)

And ofc there is the depressive bunch that will just think “wow, this person is so much better than me” and back off, silently crying to themselves (Xiao, Gorou)

Now, to make it worse, imagine that person is the kind of friend that acts like they are married to their pal. They know Lumi’s favorite food, color, book, her hobbies, the things she dislikes; they touch her casually and carry around any essentials she might need and comfort her when she remembers abt her brother.

The guys are all afraid she might suddenly decide to leave with that person, leaving them all behind, so they do their best to remind her of the good things about Teyvat, in attempt to convince her to stay.

They all come together to treat her with an almost royal treatment, claiming it to be repayment for all her hard work, when in reality they just really want to spoil her.

Of course, Lumi is confused at the sudden affection she is being showered with - after all she would never even consider leaving without her brother - but she is thankful for it nonetheless.
