Hi there! I am currently working on a compilation of the most intimate and implied relationships between Genshin's characters and the traveler, and I would really appreciate your help!!!
Okay so, I've seen your venlumi art and omg its BEAUTIFUL!!! Like Genuinely their dialogue is also so...beautiful and charming!!! And I really want to know more about what you see in them, and what the game says about them for this analysis I'm doing if that's alright with you :>>
Hi! Thank you for your kind words ;; I´m glad you enjoy my art.
As for my venlumi analysis, I´m not the most canon based person but I like to take what I can and feed myself.
(For the record, I play traveler Lumine)
First, what drew me in it´s the chemistry between Lumine and Venti, they are very fun together and somehow very sweet a the same time! One of the things that caught my atention was that Lumine could be flirty with him ( see the dialogue option "The color of your eyes is like the sky in my hometown.") and in restrospective analyzing this phrase, you have to know Lumine doesn´t get many flirty dialogue options, like, ever (I can not recall any other ocassion when it is evident to be honest). Also the fact that she talked about her hometown, a topic that is barely tackled was a little wow ok.. I like this. Feels like Lumine opening her heart a bit, as if she trusted Venti enough to let him known something personal.
Something that fluels my love for them is the fact that apparently Venti knows her from another time. We still don´t know the reason behind this and why Lumine doesn´t remember, though she is somehow aware, at one moment she recognizes Venti´s voice like a voice she heard before they met. It seems like Lumine does not give it much tought, since it is not brought up ever again but to me this just further strenghtens why Lumine trusts Venti, they already knew each other, perhaps were destined to be friends.
I also just really like Venti as a sort of self-appointed guide to Lumine during her journey. Despite his playful personality Venti makes it clear he is always there for Lumine, whether to cheer her up or console her (teapot lines win these.. I seriously can never get over it). During Weinlessefest Venti says that Lumine´s happiness it´s very important to him!! He´s happy to be by her side, and there is no wonder that those feelings can be reciprocated, as Lumine also likes to bring up Venti when he is not there, or invite him to join her into whatever ocassion.
I believe this happens a couple times during quests. With all this I mean we all can agree that they are very dear to each other, I would dare to say in contrast with other Lumine´s friendships, the one with Venti feels the most intimate. Even when they are distanced, Lumine still thinks about him.
Another tiny detail that I like it´s that Venti and Lumine/ Aether (or traveler if you might) are the only ones who depict human figures in their constellations... again, something that differentiates them from the others. Could it mean nothing? yes. Will I make it about venlumi? Of course. I mean, even the figures look alike! I´m very inclined to believe there is a deeper meaning about this that will be revealed some day.
And please let´s not forget about the birthday letter with the most eerie vibes ever. What does this even mean? Why is this a birthday message? Is it an allegory to Teyvat and "the traveler"?
"You are the only one I want to bring here" I wonder if he is also opening his heart a bit to Lumine with this phrase. In any case, it makes you wonder. An apple core, the fruit associated to venti, two halves of it, one for traveler and one for Venti like they are meant to go together. A secret world to which traveler is invited to, to take a stroll in this hidden world, which only they know about... much to think about but all I can gather is that their relationship should not be overlooked.
I´m probably forgetting to mention one or two things, but these were some things on top of my mind about venlumi in canon events, I´m sorry but not really if I got some details wrong :P
As for what I see in them.. the personalities combined are just delicious. They have a good chemistry from the start, and I just really like a Lumine that is introverted, with a secret crush on Venti. And Venti who is extroverted but soft, a little oblivious to Lumine´s crush. He still loves her but Lumine is not sure it is romantically. That is my favorite flavor.
