The Traveler is as self destructive as Childe, as much of a liar as Kaeya, as overworked as Jean, as self-objectifying as Scara, as one tracked minded as Diluc, as lonely as Furina those 500 years but theyre just better at pretending theyre not and in this essay I will-
No blonde traveler from afar is complete without their beloved blue haired blue eyed, earring on left ear, soft and sweet spoken, kind hearted, Khaenriahn, descendant of the Alberich clan they are emotionally attached to!
One of the most iconic character designs im genshin btw (on one of its most iconic characters, you get for FREE in both tcg and in game) and its a DARK SKINNED man and they decided to butcher nearly EVERY other chance they get to make other dark skinned characters
Do you guys think The Traveler would actually be the most horrifried they've ever been after they witness Kaeya and Diluc's fight through the leylines. They've seen old gods, monsters, and disasters, but the thing that terrifies them the most is sibling discord
They DO have positive influences everywhere they go and people who genuinely care about them but the thing is that they never take initiative to confide in them and rely on them because of their toxic stupid hero complex and guilty concience which includes survivors guilt

Also like half of these positive influences and friends they have started on bad terms Thoma asked them to join a war Amber questioned them like theyre a criminal for looking different Childe used them Kaeya used them Ayaka guilt tripped them into joining a war Ei tried to kill-
Them, Zhong Li used them, Lyney and Lynette lied and hid crucial information in a COURT CASE, Navia asked them to help splve a decades old court case, Furina tried to arrest them and called a sentient being an object, Xianyun said she would destroy Liyue,
Like they would be utterly unable to face either brother, whenever they see either man they just walk the other way. And when they see them all they can see is how they looked like in the fight
Hoyoverse made ONE (1), ONE SINGLE Dark skinned hot tall man playable character, have him be one of the most important characters in the lore AND be one of the most popular characters IN THE GAME in fandom and his skin tone CLEARLY was not a hindrance, but they said NEVER AGAIN
Chat can we talk about how Aether and Lumine's original homeland is canonically destroyed. I feel that should be a pretty important part of both their characters. And like why is no one else insane about this detail
To fully discuss Lumine's character you have to take into account a few things; she is from a destroyed nation and still mourns it, she is incredibly emotionally repressed, she had a codependent relationship with her brother, and her first impression of Teyvat was a bad one
Should I make a thread on how cool and complex and awesome I think Lumine as a character is and why I think she's innately a good person but is also morally grey and also thr amount of trauma inside her stupid little head
@luminmyhead
Right all negativity NO encouragement; the way he walked ahead of her instead of beside her lile Paimon with Traveler... CRINGE traveling partner
Do you guys ever think about how Traveler has canonically almost died because of a faux treasure hunt where there was no treasure and was drugged and put in a barrel once for three days and they somehow are still able to trust others to a healthy degree like how
I dont care about hoe Caribert talks in a similar way to Kaeya Alberich. I dont. I really dont care. Whatever. I dont care about how he has blue hair and a beautiful voice and the purest heart. I dont. Who even IS Caribert Alberich???

@smallaadult
Shes their rock and their emotional support and im 100% sure they want to watch her grow up BUT she aldo contributes to their emotional repression
Like they would be utterly unable to face either brother, whenever they see either man they just walk the other way. And when they see them all they can see is how they looked like in the fight
I get angry when people say Traveler ONLY cares about their sibling... but I ALSO get angry when people underestimate The Traveler's love for their sibling
Oh chat.... chat its over... Dainsleif asked if they think the abyss sibling betrayed them... chat.. "betrayed" haha what a word. That definitely. Doesnt remind me. Of a certain other. Sibling pair. Comprised of two brothers. Haha. Lol.

Hell, they might not even be able to return back to Mondstat because theyre so afraid to run into Kaeya or Diluc again because their perspective of them has been changed so dramatically
The Traveler should permanently traumatize a popular character and be so valid in doing it that the fandom cant even hate them for it. They should make a beloved character break down and cry. Preferably a tall male model man or an anemo boy. Please.
I think we should all talk more about how Traveler refuses to wear anything other than the clothes they have now because they're probably culturally significant to them, added with the fact that their homeland no longer exists this detail makes me particularly insane tbh
