The Twins have their own shortcomings- and strengths.

Lumine has a voice that resonates- that can cut through even a crowd of screaming. A voice that demands attention, and that calls to action. A voice befitting a leader. One that can make the most timid of souls a terrifying army to challenge the gods and the stars the stand alongside.

However, her heart- if she has one at all- is cold. She is not shaken or rattled by the cruelest words, but she also is not afraid of cutting another to the heart with her words alone. She is considered cold, and condescending. In a way... she truly is.

Aether has a golden heart- he can melt the frostiest of hearts, unlock the most guarded of souls, and soothe the most wounded of beasts, and even if it lead to harm, he will do so with a smile, for he loves. He loves, he loves and feels so much it consumes him alive.

However, his voice- if he has one at all- is muted. When he opens his mouth, and tries to force the words through his throat, it's strangled, like his own voice wants him dead. He cannot speak, every attempt is pitiful, broken, and falls apart to little pieces. He is considered a mute, a pushover. In a way... he truly is.

They have great faults, and great powers.

They fill in the holes of what the other is missing.

Lumine is Aether's voice. Aether is Lumine's heart.

They were not meant to be separated. Their greatnesses too strong, weaknesses too devastating.

I have a very specific headcanon about Alhaitham- specifically relating to his gender.

He is AFAB. He does not care. He is not even inherently masculine. He is not feminine. He doesn't really consider himself androgynous, either. He doesn't care. Saying Agender or non-binary doesn't work either, because he's not those either. That's implying he has some kind of self-identification, when really he's completely opted out.

Alhaitham doesn't care about pronouns- He, She, They, there's no preference. Most people default to "He" as... well, it's an accident, really.

He wears binders as he finds his chest in the way and obnoxious, but not enough so to warrant surgery. They also serve some purpose in his comfort, so there's no reason to do away with them fully. He uses estrogen/hormone blockers to stop his period and other side effects of an AFAB body that are not exactly convenient. He cuts his hair short as it's a pain to handle- if it's more than a comb running through his hair it's more effort than he's willing to put in for something he cares little for. Just because many of these things make him appear masculine, none of it was intentional.

He also doesn't wish to have bottom surgery as, while 'wetness' and going to the bathroom might be a little more cumbersome [key word: might] than if he had opposing equipment, he finds the benefit of not having an additional part of his body to need to maintain and position and, god forbid, get hurt by a very precise kick.

Alhaitham doesn't care about gender, nor how he presents. They're just... a bother to him at best, a burden at worst.

[This is a great confusion to Kaveh, who experimented with being a transwoman in the past only to affirm his connection with masculinity and a renewed appreciation for feminine beauty, is incredibly confused by Alhaitham's complete lack either way. He respects it, even if he doesn't understand it.]

Obsessing over unwilling wanderer disney princess. His heart [that he insists he does not have] is so delicate animals always innately trust him. extremely common for birds to rest atop his head perch on his shoulders, skittish foxes in a place they don't understand hide behind his legs.

He does not like this. He does not feel like he should be trusted- most days, he doesn't trust himself. He barely trusts the sun to rise in the morning.

Nahida, however, thinks it's a good thing, watching as Wanderer holds his hands out for a little bird trying to fly for the first time- if it fails, he catches it, and delicately places it back in its nest, only muttering "later, then." before going on with whatever task he was given.

#genshin #wanderer headcanons #scaramouche headcanons #bark rambles #// i do kinda miss that #// the whole idea he actually DIDNT have a heart #// and without a delusion he was genuinely unable to feel emotion #// but i like this one too #// def wanna make an oc for a different story inspired by the 'literally doesn't have a heart' idea #// ive made like. four ocs inspired by different aspects even if in the end they don't rlly seem much like him anymore #// a pair of twins that have suffered through misery and cursed with something they don't understand or want #// a being that hosts a power they cannot understand and getting taken over by it #// inspired by that one idea i had that scara was gonna get possessed by the electro gnosis #// absolutely goes apeshit in sumeru #// i actually dont remember the last one off the top of my head #// probably taking the literally heartless idea and using it to create that one #// that and the whole 'i was never meant to exist #// i was only a prototype for reference'#// 'i was only meant to be used'#// youre still reading?

I hope this is a good prompt:

Can I please request Scaramouche reacting to his S/O giving up their vision to replace his heart so he can feel again, and now the reader is like everyone else who's lost their vision and barely remembers him?

Preferably hurt/comfort but heavy on the hurt if you want ^-^

So I've saved this ask for so long it became canon that Scaramouche DOESN'T actually 'not feel' and he's just tsundere but I want this anon to know I adore this ask. I've saved this ask. This ask has influenced a novel series I work on for fun. It literally has foundationally changed it. I want to write an entire massive story about this but knowing how they've kinda ruined the idea of 'emotionless scara' [granted, I do kinda like him now still, but not as much] makes me feel like I can't really write this but I want the world to see this prompt.

tiny headcanon for lyney and lynette is that they BOTH can basically pull some [literal, not performative] magic for their animal features. Usually, Lyney chooses to go without, Lynette with, to have SOME way to truly feel unique to themselves.

In public, anyway.

Consider: When Alhaitham is very sick, he's shockingly similar to a sick young child.

Kids get really cuddly and sweet, even if they're normally a mean kid that they, on some primal level, understand that they need to be taken care of. They're usually quieter, though their own kind of 'fussy' from feeling bad, and incredibly clingy.

Alhaitham, a grown man, gets this way. He rarely gets sick, at least from the outside perspective, but once he's sick, he's sick. He only considers himself truly ill if he's having great difficulty taking care of himself. Otherwise, he may be sick, but little more than plain inconveniences.

While he is still as composed as possible, and as direct as ever, he's just not as cold, at least metaphorically speaking. Grabs the fabric of a shirt to tug another person near, because he's so cold and three blankets are not helping. Very politely thanking a person when they bring him food with a cough that's so weak it just sounds pitiful.

And even if he's a big man- because he's at least tall- he always ends up clinging or jetpacking. Because he's cold. And he feels safer, in this vulnerable, weakened state, when he can tell someone's right there.

I still struggle really badly to characterize kazuha and I think the main reason is that everything about him is based on the events he's gone through.

nothing talks about him. Yoimiya gets close and says that someone with many cares in the world speaks of poetry and nature, etc. etc. Which makes sense. Kazuha is a very mild character...

But that also makes him hard to figure out. I know he lost his best friend, I know he's a wanderer, I know he's stopped Raiden's blade.

However...

I don't know anything about him. Everything he seems to react with extreme mild mannerisms, even the greatest thing feels so minor.

He feels more like a heartless doll that I once wanted Wanderer to be than an actual person- a body to exist through events, rather than a person who reacted to them. A stand-in.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand Kazuha.
