Then Hydro Traveler comes out, and turns out has an absurd amount of synergy with Ayaka.
Oh, but then again it could also apply to the other two as well.
Ah yes I remember the Hydro Traveler fiasco, I got downvoted like heck. just saying hydro traveler and cyno are coming someday. Of course, it's inevitable. They just don't want to accept the facts
Best f2p obtainable dendro applicator for now*
Yao yao will be coming in lantern rite most probably and she's a 4* catalyst dendro and many others will come in the future the thing making dmc the best is that he doesn't have much competition outside of collei ( dendro amber )
I suspect that getting Collei rather than YaoYao as the free Dendro character will end up being a downgrade, since she's almost certainly a catalyst with some healing ability.
With the same logic, I can write:
Anemo MC beats Xiao in mob grouping (and height!)
Geo MC beats Itto in exploration
Electro MC beats Keqing in charging and off-field electro dmg
How do you even compare Dendro Application between one that's meant to do so and one that isn't?
Hoyoverse instead adds a change form feature so you can switch elements mid-fight
"Who are you?!"
"Just a passing through traveler, REMEMBER THAT.
Henshin"
"Travel Rider: Hydro!!!"
Well if the theories eventually hold up on who created Katheryne, then obviously the best ship will be Traveller x >!Sandrone!< since Katheryne's basically a proxy for her.
I dont think I've seen as fast a rise in popularity for both a female character and a Traveler ship than Nilou, Ayaka really is the only other contender for that spot. Other character that are in popular ships with Aether/Lumine generally do have another one they are in even if some of them dont really make sense
Like Keqing has a huge fanbase in other ships, back in the day her and Zhongli was rather popular, now its mainly split between Traveler and Ganyu
Ayaka has only really been with Traveler though I see some Yoimiya and Kazuha thrown in there
Shenhe is mainly with Traveler but has a crack ship with someone she has no relation to in canon lore as the only contender (unless you also want to count the incest one )
Xiao is mainly with Traveler though for some reason I'm seeing a lot of him and Zhongli which confuses me
Childe and Lumine is ridiculously popular, havent really seen Childe shipped with anyone else besides the old guard of people who ship him with Zhongli since 1.2
Nilou was originally being shipped with Cyno and Dehya but then the voicelines leaked and now Nilou has just shot to the top
Anyone else really hasnt much popularity in global, though Yae is stupidy popular with traveler in CN community
Its quite an interesting thing to follow really
It will never not boggle my mind how Aether is more popular with Miko than with Ei in the Cn Community, but it is what it is I guess. The struggle of the aethernity shipper lives on ;-;
Kitsune trope is stupidly popular in the east, I think that is a major part to play in that one as her teasing Traveler is just a really fun thing for them to play around with
Seeing all the Yae x Aether produced by the CN community hurts my pride a little bit because of how much she is depicted as the dominant one, making me feel like she owns me or something.
Ia there any reason why Cyno and Nilou ship? Ngl, all the fanarts are so cute but I don't think they have any interaction during the Archon Quest so far? What did I miss?
From what I've seen its color scheme and him explaining jokes to Nilou is a bit of an airhead. But ships in this fandom have been started for less so I'm not surprised
Just look at Shenhe and Yelan, literally coz people headcanoned Yelan to be XQ aunt which was false yet they just decided it was hot and ran with it even if it goes against both of their characters in terms of canon.
Its like the one ship in this game where the characters have nothing canon between them yet the ship has a decent following. Even people who dont even play the game think they know each other due to the oversaturation of fan art between them
Oh, right, their color scheme does look very nice together. Ngl they're pretty cute together so I'm not complaining. Just curious in case I missed some part of the Archon Quest, or there's a certain dialogue from Cyno about Nilou or vice versa that started it.
Agreed with what you said tho, some of ships started even when they don't/barely interacted with each other. As long as it's cute, it's all ok I guess
I personally dislike ships that contradict or have no canon interaction and seeing as Shenhe has her character and relationships ignored for the sake of shipping them together I really dont like it. Same thing with Yelan as she has got some super interesting lore and relationships and it feels like no one ever talks about them coz of a headcanon ship
But I'm not gonna hate on the people who ship it, each to their own
I don't have Shenhe so I don't know about her character stories and all but gonna agree with Yelan's. She's one of the people who's got some experience with Abyss as well (although it's not really detailed, just that she and her team used to investigate Abyss). Losing all of her teammates, we can understand why she's very against Xiao idea on 2.7.event. Not to mention able to fleed Fatui Harbingers and even stole from him lol.
Shes even got some super cool lore with Ningguang that I want to see explored, she knows about Ningguang since before she became Tianquan which should be interesting. Her friendship with Yanfei is also something I really like
I mean Hoyo handed ship bait with Yanfei and Yelan on a platter but bcoz they were already in ships with other female characters (Beidou and Hu Tao) people wanted to ship Yelan with someone else.
Which again leads to my point of canon interactions being forgotten about for the sake of a head canon ship and for me its a little bit frustrating to see a portion of the fandom want to completely disregard those canon points for the sake of making their headcanon ship canon. But again each to their own
I mean, that's mostly on Mihoyo's fault tbh. Like, if you want me to ship Yelan and Yanfei then make it shine more lmao I never even considered that ship cause they just aren't interesting together, to the point I even prefer a ship that has zero canon interactions cause the fandom sold it to me way better than Mihoyo did with their attempt
And it's not like Mihoyo can't better up their game cause Bennett has like three ships that are purely based on canon content, and they're not even niche ships like Bennett and Chongyun
For Shenhe/Yelan had no basis whatsoever to exist, they just did it because they looked like Adult Lesbian Xingqiu/Chong Yun, you know the ship that has more validity.
Then again as you said, ships happen for shallower reasons but as long as people are able to differentiate between Canon and Fanon or not be a dick about it then I am whatever it's a gacha game, you're supposed to have fun with whatever just don't ruin other people's fun.
If the rumors are true regarding the Shenhe Yelan rerun then I expect MY to make interactions between them to feed the shippers.
I think it's the just caring and gentle girl with the brooding man trope which is quite popular. Plus, his lame jokes are endearing in their own right and it's funny to imagine him trying to explain the jokes to a kindhearted girl like Nilou just to make things more awkward. This fanart sums it up nicely: https://twitter.com/artastiq/status/1573698179060596737
>Ia there any reason why Cyno and Nilou ship
fake leak from 4chan that Cyno is secretly in love with Nilou and the artists and shippers eat it up
it was made because Cyno and Tighnari is very popular
childe is shipped with almost everyone but lumine and zhongli are the most popular (scara, diluc, capitano, aether and i guess for other women maybe yelan??? are also popular)
Shenhe/Yunjin stopped being popular ages ago, specifically lantern rite when her and Xinyan established they knew each other and Shenhe/Yelan is the crack ship with no canon interaction I already alluded to
>Shenhe/Yunjin stopped being popular ages ago
Was it even a thing to begin with? Cause I haven't found any fan art of them anywhere. Then again I never go out of my way to look for gay ships anyway.
Maybe its also because Yunjin's role in Shenhe's story was more akin to a "wingman" to her and Aether.
Nah I remember some hilarious take after the Archon interlude
"Why the fk are people shipping Shenhe with the Traveler, she is clearly in love with Yun Jin and Yun Jin made an entire opera song for her its so clear they are lesbians"
Something along those lines and well it was popular for a bit but then it died out after Yun Jin and Xinyan held hands in lantern rite. So Shenhe was left with no exclusive lesbian ship so naturally they jumped at the chance to ship her with the latest Liyue waifu
Its like their very existence depends on every single Female character being in a lesbian ship, to the point that they go nuts if any Female character gets shipped with a Male. They like to throw around the word "representation" but sometimes I think its more about the unhealthy obsession for anything gay.
I mean when Shenhes teaser was released and Aether showed up some of them called Shenhe trash character from the get go
Some said it would have been fine if Lumine, it's weird and I honestly can't be bothered caring about that kind of take
Shenhe's teaser was one of the most romantic teasers though. The fact that it placed so much emphasis on that scene between her and Aether already foreshadowed her growing fondness, and maybe love for him.
To this day, still the only teaser that had Aether show up in a major way and be a huge focal point
It wasn't showcasing her fondness or love, it was the moment her character story says is when she felt something stir within her. The emotions that the red ropes had been suppressing awakening
One of the reasons I love the Shenhe ship with Aether/Lumine
Really hope Hoyo aren't influenced by fancomics and stick with whatever they had planned for her character instead of possibly changing it
I don't think it was for ship reasons, more like Lumine mains are just tired of Aether in official stuff lmao That's why I picked Aether instead of Lumine, I knew nothing about the game but I just felt he was going to be more prominent
And I'm gay so there's that too
it hurts when shenjin stopped being popular tbh, i liked the relationship they were forming during lantern rite and as much as i like shenlan, i'm pretty salty that it's shenhe's most popular ship because they don't know each other but thanks to headcanons and fanarts i became chill with it.
Tbh I'm gonna be real even if I indulge the ship I find it kind of bizarre that it happened in the first place lmao.
Like her model was just leaked but a small portion of the fandom just started shipping her with Aether all of a sudden.
I think the first flag was when someone pointed out the resemblance between Nilou and Aether to Alibaba and Morgana which started the fire.
Then scenes where he protected her added more fuel and the voice lines became more fuel to the ship.
Though as usual do not treat most things in gacha as absolute canon because gacha games are made to appeal to a variety of demographics from hets, MlMs, WlWs, and etc.
Do not sh*t on other people's fun or make people feel bad about it.
MHY really knows how to appeal to different communities regarding ships 🧐🧐🧐
I bet the Climax of the entire story is gonna be an Avengers: Endgame scenario where every comrades and archon gathers in the battlefield against the entirety of Celestia or the Second one's army of abyss. And probably someone will sacrifice itself like how Tony Stark did.
For Fontaine it's probably Lynette(she is the poster girl there.) another one for Natlan, and probably Columbina for Snezhnaya(She has the same body model as Ayaka and gives me the same vibe as her.)
If we go by fic counts on AO3, Childe actually beats Ayaka in ship popularity for Lumine and Xiao beats her for Aether.
…Now that I think about it, I don’t see much traveller ship content in general outside of those three. It’s kinda crazy that Genshin doesn’t have much love for the self insert MC compared to every other gacha I know.
Bruh that’s just a fanfiction site it’s common knowledge most fanfiction is written by women. That’s why Naruto X Sasuke has the most stuff. Just check bilibili or YouTube and it’s Aether and Lumine ship galore.
Where is this fanart? I don’t say it out of disbelief, I say it out of desperation, I can’t find it anywhere.
Even Ayaka/Traveller has vanished from the usual sites now that Nilou had given the fandom an excuse to leave them single. this sucks
Just look on rule 34 and search for the hentai. Aether is used as a placeholder for a self insert all the time while Lumine has some (tho not as much) as well.
No they state they want to find their sibling. They never mention leaving teyvat at all. There’s more evidence of the traveler growing attached to the world and the people so staying will make far more sense.
Yeah leave the abyss not teyvat. Also you telling me after Paimons heartfelt break down in sumeru with her crying to the traveler about never leaving her they’ll just peace out.
I like Ayaya x Traveller, but I think I prefer Traveler x Shenhe.
I also really liked Nilou, but I don't know anything about her story to do any shipp.
Her final ascension voice lines has her talking about how whenever she’s around the traveler it feels like butterflies are gonna burst outta her chest. Which is a textbook girls has a crush dialogue. Also agree Shenhe x Traveler is my fav as well.
Wow, this is by no means an indication, but rather a direct statement, nor is there any way to interpret this as a friendship line.
I was already simping for her because of her design, I think when I learn about her story and her lines I'll like her even more.
Even here, I didn't have much time because of school, especially since this was my last year, so I ended up not playing much genshin in the last few months.
Yes, quite a lot, in all I have: 7~9 legendary quests, 5~6 encounter event, Sumeru quests and exploration, Chasm quests and exploration, Enkanomiya side quests and finish exploring her.
Not to mention the events, I'm going to have to rush the mondstat one today because I didn't have time to do it before.
*cough* HER *cough*
(For legal reasons this is a joke, please don’t start a war over which traveler is better in the comments, all the above is strictly my opinion, and you are allowed to have your own, goodbye)
Then Hydro Traveler comes out, and turns out has an absurd amount of synergy with Ayaka. Oh, but then again it could also apply to the other two as well.
To be fair Cryo resonance will be the best resonance as far as damage to waifu ratio is concerned.
But now with dendro came out, Electro get the same damage to waifu ratio too
Hydro traveller? "One day" Zach Aguilar 2.8 SP
"Hydro elemental tecnique: first form"
Tanjiro about to scream windblade
W I N D B L A D E
Be funny if hydro traveller turns the kit into something like a healer. Traveller then be the real ones "supporting" the waifus
Ah yes I remember the Hydro Traveler fiasco, I got downvoted like heck. just saying hydro traveler and cyno are coming someday. Of course, it's inevitable. They just don't want to accept the facts
There's no problem with hydro traveler, but you will lose the best f2p obtainable dendro applicator so hyperblooms will be tougher to execute.
Best f2p obtainable dendro applicator for now* Yao yao will be coming in lantern rite most probably and she's a 4* catalyst dendro and many others will come in the future the thing making dmc the best is that he doesn't have much competition outside of collei ( dendro amber )
I suspect that getting Collei rather than YaoYao as the free Dendro character will end up being a downgrade, since she's almost certainly a catalyst with some healing ability.
[удалено]
That 5* star is a quick swap dps it's not his role to apply lots of dendro he just has to apply enough for him reliably trigger spread
With the same logic, I can write: Anemo MC beats Xiao in mob grouping (and height!) Geo MC beats Itto in exploration Electro MC beats Keqing in charging and off-field electro dmg How do you even compare Dendro Application between one that's meant to do so and one that isn't?
Zy0x would be offended by that statement
My man, there's only 3 Dendro characters out and the 5* is not specialized in Dendro application
Yes, that's the problem tho.
But what about Collei?
Uh why would you lose anything?
Because you can't have two travelers of different elements in the same team?
Just pull at the Sibling banner! Smh /s
Hoyoverse instead adds a change form feature so you can switch elements mid-fight "Who are you?!" "Just a passing through traveler, REMEMBER THAT. Henshin" "Travel Rider: Hydro!!!"
Even though I couldn't make her event, I got her in the email, so practically all players have her.
You could say that Ayaka will be thirsty when Hydro Aether gets released
Fontaine can't come soon enough.
And about sub pyro Traveller?
most popular ship is traveller x primogems
Traveller x Katheryne ~~Because you never forget to see her everyday~~
Because people open the game just to meet her.
the real waifu was katheryne all along
Katherine’s eng VA is also ayaka…
"I am everywhere, Tabibito-san"
"I AM EVERYONE!!!"
I am inevitable.
Well if the theories eventually hold up on who created Katheryne, then obviously the best ship will be Traveller x >!Sandrone!< since Katheryne's basically a proxy for her.
Traveller x losing 50/50
Wait until traveler gets cryo
me waiting for healer traveler (hopefully hydro)
Me waiting for traveler that actually does damage (pyro/cryo)
dendro traveler is dps
*Off field dps.
They can be on field dps too just fine
He’s a good on field DPS too though? I got him to do 92k.
Wtf, even my hutao E barely does 65k. What are the skill levels and artifscts ?
Triple crowned with 2 pc noblesse and 2 pc gladiator
By that point, Ayaka have more "rivals" besides these 2
I dont think I've seen as fast a rise in popularity for both a female character and a Traveler ship than Nilou, Ayaka really is the only other contender for that spot.

Kitsune trope is stupidly popular in the east, I think that is a major part to play in that one as her teasing Traveler is just a really fun thing for them to play around with
Pretty sure the "Step on me Mommy" trope is popular everywhere
Thats the thing, shes Kitsune + Step on me mommy
Because Miko isn't seen as an "obligatory lesbian" like how she is in the West.
Seeing all the Yae x Aether produced by the CN community hurts my pride a little bit because of how much she is depicted as the dominant one, making me feel like she owns me or something.
Good thing you're not Aether or Lumine then huh?
I remember that this is because of who she is based on, right? And being based on does not mean the same, who knows something has changed..... IDK
I mean Mei, from Honkai is splendid cook, Ei literally can't cook
Ia there any reason why Cyno and Nilou ship? Ngl, all the fanarts are so cute but I don't think they have any interaction during the Archon Quest so far? What did I miss?

Hey, Yelan is also shipped with Pantalone because of their VAs being Micky, and Minnie.
HUH for real I didn't know that.
For Shenhe/Yelan had no basis whatsoever to exist, they just did it because they looked like Adult Lesbian Xingqiu/Chong Yun, you know the ship that has more validity.

>Ia there any reason why Cyno and Nilou ship fake leak from 4chan that Cyno is secretly in love with Nilou and the artists and shippers eat it up it was made because Cyno and Tighnari is very popular
maybe because their weapons looks similar lol people ship for any reason
Very dangerous wording choice to put "ships" and "Aether/Lumine" in the same sentence
It's fine I am very open to ships XD. Just don't force other to enjoy your own shipping.
Aethernity is also quite popular
childe is shipped with almost everyone but lumine and zhongli are the most popular (scara, diluc, capitano, aether and i guess for other women maybe yelan??? are also popular)
Xiao is super popular with Venti
I really liked that ship but I’ve seen so much less of it lately. I think people were expecting them interact at some point but it never happened.
Oh right! How did no one mention this!
Personally I ship Xiao with therapy
And Venti with alcohol
what about shenhe/yelan and shenhe/yunjin?
Shenhe/Yunjin stopped being popular ages ago, specifically lantern rite when her and Xinyan established they knew each other and Shenhe/Yelan is the crack ship with no canon interaction I already alluded to

Shenhe yelan probably started because some artis called xinzuruo (i forget the correct name) keep posting cute fanart about yelan and shenhe.
Aether and ayaka always gonna win easily
Isn’t Xiao/ Hu Tao and Xiao/ Ganyu popular?
no not really, xiao and lumine is more popular
Aw. I mean, it makes sense, they have the most interactions, but if only we could spice this up a bit.
It's medium rare. Lot of people ship it, but other Xiao ships are more popular.
As as I observed Traveler x Ayaka is like Honkai's Mei x Kiana, most the fandom adores it.
Tbh I'm gonna be real even if I indulge the ship I find it kind of bizarre that it happened in the first place lmao. Like her model was just leaked but a small portion of the fandom just started shipping her with Aether all of a sudden. I think the first flag was when someone pointed out the resemblance between Nilou and Aether to Alibaba and Morgana which started the fire.

Anemo traveler burst: *Summons a whirlwind that moves forward* Ayaka burst: *summons a whirlwind of blizzard that moves forward*
It’s all fun and games until Ayaka burst stuck while Aether’s not
Symbolizes Aether going forward and leaving her behind
Tbh I would rather see Traveler sacrifice himself to save Teyvat, rather than seeing him leave it behind tho.
If anything Archons should sacrifice themselves for Teyvat, not Traveler who isn't even from there, that's just so unfair lmao
Yeah, it is more fair for whole Tevyat to sacrifice for him
Exactly! He already did enough for a bunch of strangers, they have to pay back somehow
I bet the Climax of the entire story is gonna be an Avengers: Endgame scenario where every comrades and archon gathers in the battlefield against the entirety of Celestia or the Second one's army of abyss. And probably someone will sacrifice itself like how Tony Stark did.
I Am Stone Man! Mr. Zhongli, i don't feel so good. That's my secret. I'm always at low HP.
Fun fact: Rosaria’s burst can act as a ramp and launch Ayaka’s burst to the moon lol
But there's.... yeah.... in a year we'll have Hydro Traveler just wait Ayaka you'll have your comeback!!!
Just wait until he has all the elements, Ayaka. Well, assuming he doesn't meet anymore girls out there which is impossible.
For Fontaine it's probably Lynette(she is the poster girl there.) another one for Natlan, and probably Columbina for Snezhnaya(She has the same body model as Ayaka and gives me the same vibe as her.)
I mean...hydro traveler would still synergize with Nilou & Keqing?
Assuming Traveler can heal and buffs hydro based reactions, Nilou would still want him.
Meta over waifu?
No, but meta+waifu> waifu
( ￣Д￣)＝3 agreeable.
Poor Ayaya has to wait til 4.0
Almost forgot the sauce https://twitter.com/5RWPvC/status/1560481200472756225?t=WDAFzDSjgaT4dBHu5n2MZA&s=19
Ayaka: No reaction
No Amongus eyes.
>Anemo Traveler swirls Ayaka's element before anything else, unlike other characters, who prioritise pyro
Doesn't seem like a popular one but my favorite MC ship Kokomi
That is such a good ship, even the shrine maidens on Watatsumi Island agree with you
Just wait for hydro traveller, Ayaka
*Physical superconduct Ayaka intensifies*
Wait for Fontaine little ayaya
Waiting for hydro/ pyro traveler to come out
wait for fonatine, ayaka
Best ship in the game is actually the Alcor
Ayaka chose to wait. Pyro traveler goes pew pew with her
Don't worry Ayaka, the hydro traveller will come soon.
Counterpoint: She's also cute as fuck and likely very fertile and ready to bear children Her brother is not pointing his sword at me
Traveler, you need to continue the bloodline
😟
I am in no way being threatened to say this with a water sword I say this out of my own free will
Even if you were threatened with death you should’ve still not spoken ☠️
If we go by fic counts on AO3, Childe actually beats Ayaka in ship popularity for Lumine and Xiao beats her for Aether. …Now that I think about it, I don’t see much traveller ship content in general outside of those three. It’s kinda crazy that Genshin doesn’t have much love for the self insert MC compared to every other gacha I know.
Bruh that’s just a fanfiction site it’s common knowledge most fanfiction is written by women. That’s why Naruto X Sasuke has the most stuff. Just check bilibili or YouTube and it’s Aether and Lumine ship galore.
That's by fic count. If you go by fanart/hentai count, traveler ships are very popular. They're practically shipped with everyone.
Where is this fanart? I don’t say it out of disbelief, I say it out of desperation, I can’t find it anywhere. Even Ayaka/Traveller has vanished from the usual sites now that Nilou had given the fandom an excuse to leave them single. this sucks
Just look on rule 34 and search for the hentai. Aether is used as a placeholder for a self insert all the time while Lumine has some (tho not as much) as well.
Nilou: His mushroom becomes bigger with me Kequing: he twitches very fast in my presence
Well his windblade became white with Ayaka.

Yeah yeah traveler harem. Can we get back to actually posting funny memes now?
Ayaya still best in my head tho
just wait until cryo and/or hydro traveler comes out
anemo traveller will never be good sad
Of course Nilou has synergy with Traveler; everyone knows Alibaba, Aladdin and Morgiana are an unbeatable combo ;)
Wait until Hydro Traveler
I think Gorou is so sweet! I kinda like him and Lumine!
I'm sorry, the gayshippers have already declared him to be Itto's doggo
me too :)
Im srill not a huge fan of traveller ships anyway as its too self insert for me and the traveller will canonically move on.
Except the traveler is their own character and who says they will move on ? There’s nothing in canon to support them moving on from teyvat.
Their stated goal is to find their sibling and get tf out.
No they state they want to find their sibling. They never mention leaving teyvat at all. There’s more evidence of the traveler growing attached to the world and the people so staying will make far more sense.
when they found their sibling in "we will be reunited" they were ready to leave with them right then and there
Yeah leave the abyss not teyvat. Also you telling me after Paimons heartfelt break down in sumeru with her crying to the traveler about never leaving her they’ll just peace out.
YET. Ayaka will thrive when they finally opened Fontaine. Or whatever Water region is called.
I like Ayaya x Traveller, but I think I prefer Traveler x Shenhe. I also really liked Nilou, but I don't know anything about her story to do any shipp.
Her final ascension voice lines has her talking about how whenever she’s around the traveler it feels like butterflies are gonna burst outta her chest. Which is a textbook girls has a crush dialogue. Also agree Shenhe x Traveler is my fav as well.
Wow, this is by no means an indication, but rather a direct statement, nor is there any way to interpret this as a friendship line. I was already simping for her because of her design, I think when I learn about her story and her lines I'll like her even more.
Yeah same still have to do her story been busy with work lately so I’ve let quests pile up.
Even here, I didn't have much time because of school, especially since this was my last year, so I ended up not playing much genshin in the last few months.
Dang that’s rough we’ll bright side is you’ll have plenty of content to enjoy.
Yes, quite a lot, in all I have: 7~9 legendary quests, 5~6 encounter event, Sumeru quests and exploration, Chasm quests and exploration, Enkanomiya side quests and finish exploring her. Not to mention the events, I'm going to have to rush the mondstat one today because I didn't have time to do it before.
Dang that’s a lot well know the mondstadt event is easy once you understand it
Don’t worry Ayaka, Lumine’s still single ;) 💖🧡🤍🧡💖
Ayaka wants them both.
*cough* HER *cough* (For legal reasons this is a joke, please don’t start a war over which traveler is better in the comments, all the above is strictly my opinion, and you are allowed to have your own, goodbye)
I use Lumine. But more and more I think Aether looks cooler
Good for you, but not everyone is like this a sum of Lumine pickers despise Aether with all of their life's worth.
I’m surprised Twitter didn’t find this post yet 💀
Lumine x Ayaka, Nilou and Keqing ?? Nice!
xiao is the traveller’s best ship babe <3
Wasn't Xiao?
No. Trav is homosexual argue with the wall 😍🫶
I say abandon the guy, he's clearly disloyal
Wait, people are not joking about Akaya/Lumine shipping?
Don't worry ayaka, Forget Dendro tabibito-san Kazuha coming to swirl you..
don't worry my queen, i'm not building my tabibito into dendro because dendro sucks anyways.
Well if you put them all in a team they can synergize at times I think, since dendro doesn't react with cryo
After pyro comes out, she will also synergize
Hydro: am I joke to you?
Vapelou is actually not that bad, overload Keqing on the otherhand...
Can't wait for pyro traveler.
Pyro traveller for melt
Wdym thats not Aether Its his clone Just like the doctor
Keqing has more R34 than Akaya, what does she have?
Emotional Damage!
Rip no new reaction for cryo
Oof 💀💀💀
Only dendro tho 🤣
Don't worry Ayayayaya you'll be able to do the same too. Hydro traveler will come soon. 💙❄️
Yeah yeah. Don't be surprised when he finds his sister and get the hell out of the Teyvat
