I Actually Wanted To Crash Out The Same Way As Doey When They Died I Love The Sm-

I have nothing to say except we fucking win bitches

IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN I'M RESPECTFULLY THROWING MYSELF OF THE NEAREST CLIFF

No 'cause seriously I want it to start off with Pitaya doing whatever their doing and then they stop and are like: "...Something's going on with Hollyberry Cookie and I can FEEL it! HOLD ON WIFEY HELP IS ON THE WAY!"

If the second half doesn't start like this I'm rioting

Bonus doodle:

Kitty....

Aaaaaand I'm weak and went on another tangent instead of finishing that damn comic.

Everyone's making swap AUs and it looked fun! Couldn't resist! I wanted to doodle over the background, but I ended up trying to blend it with the same color palette and quick effects.

Xiaother Ramble on why I ship it over Xiaolumi

Okay so basically I love Xiao x Traveller in general and if you ship Xiaolumi consider yourself a homie but I personally like Xiaother more.

Honestly the whole discourse on Xiaother vs Xiaolumi is so stupid because technically speaking both Travellers are the same due to how little the game really expands on them but personally I ship Xiaother over Xiaolumi.

It could probably come from my love of opposites attract but it's a little more than that as well. From the little difference we've seen in the twin's personalities, a lot of people agree that Lumi is the more serious one. While she is a warm person, she is more stern and seems to hold her ground well. Aether is more approachable and easy to talk TO rather than AT, while he can be a people pleaser he's still capable of being assertive in a way.

Both of them are easily good for Xiao, their personalities play off of his quite well in the long run. Xiao is more reclusive and tends to keep to himself in fear of hurting other people and losing control, it was obvious he was confused when the traveller was so insistent on talking and interacting with him and was apprehensive at first but got used to them quickly. Not to mention the whole, "Call my name and I'll appear" thing.

When it comes to Xiaolumi, they are both quiet and more serious people that, while they are capable of warmth, tend to stick to their duties and prefer to get things over with efficiently. (They have such power couple potential I love them sm) But in my personal opinion, I feel like they wouldn't be able to always communicate properly and Xiao being with a person similar to him would draw him back from seeing himself as less of a tool, even if Lumi would constantly reassure him that he's not.(ANGST POTENTIAL AMIRITE?) Xiao would probably need someone who wouldn't just tell him, but SHOW him the positive aspects of life, and who better than someone with a friendly and approachable persona?

Xiaother are like this, Xiao is how I describe him and Aether being himself is able to draw Xiao's positive aspects out and influence him more when it comes to social and healthy ways of coping with his trauma or just his low-self esteem in general. Aether would be someone who'd convince him to open up and would be willing to put his tasks on hold to listen, other times he'd do his commissions and whenever he's done he'd try to find Xiao to check in on him. The only sad parts would be that Xiao would feel like he's unworthy of this love and try to backtrack in fear of hurting someone so kind, fear of corrupting someone who brightens his day even if he thinks it in silence. (SORRY I'M ATTACKING YOU WITH ANGST) Xiao might also need someone who can tell him things straight and knows when they don't need to fake a smile when they are overworked or tired which is where Xiaolumi would work better.

Overall, Xiaother is my fav out of the two ships because I enjoy the fluff and Xiao angst just makes me sad :(

But in all seriousness, both ships are valid as heck with both twins being so similar in the game when they are whatever role they are, but when looking at it through the aspect of what the game intends the twins to act-Xiaother is my ride or die because of their dynamic and because of how I enjoy the ideas and hcs in my head for them ESPECIALLY as a fanfic writer.

*Of course to note when it comes to me writing the twin's personalities most of it is based on common opinion and loose evidence mixed with a small hc or two so if you see the twins differently that is perfectly fine-I'm just a hopeless romantic with a love for silly ships </3

ALSO XIAO X ABYSS TWIN WHEN??

It's okay Hollyberry me too...me too...

HOLLYBERRY SHE’S POISONING YOUR BERRY JUICE TO MAKE YOU HAVE GAY THOUGHTS RUN NOW

PREACH! PREACH, I SAY!

No cause I genuinely need a fanfic of this now THIS WOULD BE SO COOL!

chiscara where they had a slight romantic/sexual relationship in the fatui where they were close and slept in each other’s bed but they were so secretive about it and never told each other how much they truly enjoyed their time together and then they meet back up post irminsul and childe doesn’t remember him and scara doesn’t want to talk to him and feel things from the past but goes against his better judgment and does anyways especially when childe keeps talking to him and following him and has such an interest in him and it leads to them both feeling things for each other again until they kiss and suddenly childe is remembering things and it freaks scara out but as he gets all his memory back they start getting closer even if it’s scary for both of them and they’re so in love and they can’t hold back anymore and-
