What caused you to start writing? What was your key point?

i believe it was from finding out other people were writing twilight fanfics and reader x celebrity on the internet back on quibblo (that and youtube were my first exposure to fanfic), so i began writing twilight fanfiction of my own and eventually found a roleplay community on youtube. i spent about a couple years there with a lot of ocs. i eventually moved around and found other rp communities on various sites until i found tumblr in about 2011 in the spn rpc. that was my first official fandom on here.

What is your favorite canon muse?

i have a few actually! my main favorites will always be miles edgeworth, connor (detroit: become human) and diluc !

∗ 16﹕ is  there  a  recognizable  pattern  in  your  taste  in  characters ?

tbh yeah, i tend to pick up all the red-coded characters, as their personalities are quite similar. they're really fun to explore and write.

It has been a while since she has made her way back to the Dawn Winery, but she couldn't miss the special occasion. And truthfully, her heart always called back to Mondstadt, it was a longing she couldn't explain herself.

"Grape juice?" the afternoon breeze ruffled her blond strands. She has brought some grape juice back from Sumeru, there's a slight difference in flavour she has noticed compared to the juice produced from Diluc's Winery. It wasn't anything special but she hoped the thought itself would make up for her absence in so long.

"A birthday always deserves a good toast too."

he looked at the bottle in surprise before a pleasant smile appeared on his face at the thoughtful gift and wishes .

" thank you , lumine . it's much appreciated . . . i will be sure to taste it when i get a chance . " he said as he delicately took the juice into his hands .

he looked over the label . he hummed in thought , then popped the cork and took a curious sniff . yes , definitely different from his own concoctions . he had always been curious about sumeru and their blends .

Unprompted challenge? From @centuricnis

Is that some kind of welcoming custom from his world? Or a challenge to deem her worth? So be it.

She reflects his pose. But one leg raises from the ground, her hands bending down in a pose she once saw in another universe... Perhaps that secret password could work here too...

"you're not a coward, are you?" kaminari's smirking, leaning in closer to lumine. he's even being polite and tilting his hat back so as to not poke her with it! "you wouldn't be trying to hide behind me, hmm?"

@oficeandwind replied to your post “"If I were to use lots of electro energy on Ei......”

"i think if you really want to try it, you should take me along. you know, so you have a witness who can say it was self defense." -kami

"Perhaps you should be the one to lure her out of the Tenshukaku, you're kind of related right?" totally not because she still feels intimidated by the electro archon

"lumine, in all the time you have known me, all the things i've done. you accuse ME of being cowardly?" there's a scowl on his face as he crosses his arms.

"have you even met her? i wouldn't be surprised if she trusts you more than she trusts me."

"Why? Are you?" she is so tempted to flick that hat of his but indeed she has some restraint "is this what they call projecting onto someone?" she does blow on his face though. She would indeed walk hide behind Kami though.

does he want to?

kami isn't exactly sure about that. he's pondered that very question for what feels like eons. it's an uncomfortable topic for him to bring up with anyone, especially with her. he and the traveler haven't exactly had the smoothest relationship, and while there's still tension, it's getting...

BETTER?

he hadn't meant to let something like this slip in the first place. though maybe subconsciously, kami IS worried about going back to inazuma. and maybe there is something about lumine that he can rely on. she's proven herself to be a decent companion, if not friend.

"i want to say no," kami begins. he's choosing his words carefully, running over them in his mind before speaking them aloud. "if you had asked me while i was still the balladeer, i would have laughed in your face. but i suppose if i'm repaying debts with everyone i've wronged, i might as well confront her too. i'm not expecting anything to come of it though."

nahida had scolded him once, stating that there was no such thing as evening the books. kami isn't sure he yet believes that statement, but this is probably the closest he can get to that train of logic.

"...you can still shock her, if you'd like. i won't stop you." he laughs. "i might even take a picture with my kamera."

"I was merely wondering... However, there is no such a thing as cowardice in survival" she reflects his pose almost without thinking, her mutter perhaps hinting of more guilt that hides beneath the surface of her stern expression. She chews her cheek, the amber in her eyes softening with a sigh that follows.

"Would you even want to meet her again in the first place?"

"you tell me she's changed, but i don't know if i believe people can change that quickly." kami's also partially referring to himself ― lumine only knows a FRACTION of everything he'd suffered. she knows more than anyone else, but kami doesn't want her arrogance to assume she knows more than he's willing to tell her. kami is still dealing with five hundred years of anger and resentment, and so much hurt. that would not be a tale he wants to share with anyone, ever.

for him, he might be on a new path, but kami can't shake the resentment and disdain that still creeps up from time to time. humans as a whole are still so frail, far too fragile to get that close to them. kami doesn't want to take any risks if he can avoid it, but lumine. she is different. kami is aware she isn't a typical human, and surely that's why she'd know better than most how fickle change can be when habits are still hard to break.

"she's been seeking eternity for as long as i've been alive," kami continues. he's not even looking at lumine now, pulling his hat low to stare at the ground. he doesn't want lumine to see his face, or the doubts etched on it. "i don't believe for a second that she can change her mind just because you happened to help the rebels win a war."

that's...probably a lot harsher than kami intended. this isn't supposed to be a scathing review on lumine's abilities ― she had only done what was right for the nation, he supposes. wars can't last forever, after all. "what i mean to say is, do you really believe she's changed that quickly? you know me, you know what i've done, and i don't FEEL any different than how i used to feel. do you believe people can actually turn around for the better?"

he's almost tired of learning this lesson. it never sticks for long, his thoughts continuously stray to bitterness and resentment, and forgiveness is difficult. yes, even forgiving lumine is difficult. her part in everything he'd done in the past had only lended to him getting more and more frustrated, resulting in their final showdown. she hadn't actually done anything other than stand up to him and fight, but it had still done a lot of harm for his own emotions and goals.

"if you really think i should go see her, then we probably should get it over with. i should also let lord kusanali know where i'm going to ensure she has backup if she needs an errand boy."

Second chances did not come often, Lumine was extremely aware of that.

What happened to him it was indeed a rare occurrence, however some demons never stopped clinging to his shadow despite this new journey of his.

Betrayal, sorrow, regret, loneliness. Wounds could heal with time, sometimes they'd only leave scars, sometimes they'd never stop bleeding.

They might have not had the best start of whatever bond they now shared, however more than anyone else she could somehow sense the inner battle that currently plagued Kami.

All she wanted it was to be by her brother side again. All she wanted it was to have him between her arms again, hear is soft laugh carried by the wind like the sweetest lullaby she had always fallen asleep to. But he had chosen a path without her, he had taken a journey in which he didn't need her. Would things be different when they'd meet again? She had faith in her brother, yet that fear creeped in more often now, thorns coming through the cracks of her own open wounds.

"Some debts might never get fulfilled" Her arms fell by her sides, her features now softening too. Someone could search for forgiveness, but after all it all depended from those who would be willing to provide it. Healing was a complex process for each side involved. "I might not be able to carry those debts for you, however I can stand by your side in this journey if you ever need me to." And she truly meant it. Torment was not meant to be held by oneself alone, ironic to came from someone like her of all people.

"She has also changed." She would be lying herself if she said she had forgotten all the affliction the Electro Archon had brought to Inazuma and her gained comrades. The fear she had felt in her presence, the anger that had raged before Ei when she was determined to destroy her ideals. The same way she had never forgotten Teppei's life slipping away in front of her helpless eyes. Forgiveness was truly a hard matter to deal with.

"But as you said, we always have our plan A anyway if the encounter takes a wrong turn." She stuck her tongue out playfuly.

is change a matter of time or a matter of will?

the wanderer does NOT enjoy this line of questioning. he doesn't enjoy these questions that force him to think, to contemplate his own past, compared to where he is now. kaminari especially doesn't want to face the changes he made in his own life.

because the answer is, he really doesn't know. his own anger and grief had been shaped by perceived betrayal, then fostered and grown into full hatred by outside influences. kami does not know how to separate the manufactured anger from his own, natural anger.

but on the flip side, time IS changing him for the better. there's no denying that the longer he stays in sumeru, the better off he's becoming. kami isn't sure if it's will, either. he would have staunchly refused to believe there was any kind of help for someone like him.

but ― aren't they both getting something out of this? kaminari can't deny for a second that lumine's company isn't enjoyable. part of him is almost EAGER to seek out her company. would that count as will, too? it's hard to say, and he doesn't want to spend forever contemplating this line of thinking, either. kami will table it for now, and wait until later when the question DOESN'T give him a headache.

"there is never any right time for anything." he scoffs. "i don't like who i've become in my past. but that doesn't mean i'm fully content to leave it alone either." he's still alluding to his act of revenge. he knows lumine well enough by now to know she'll understand, even.

"i'm also aware that change isn't always negative. it's a positive, for those who want it. i'm not sure what camp i fall under yet." he doesn't want to talk about himself anymore. they already spent way too long talking about him. from his initial defeat, to his new name and new partnership with nahida, to now.

"let's talk about you for once," he says abruptly. "you speak of change like you're not somehow effected by it. i remember you used to ask around constantly for your brother, and now you barely speak about him. what changed that?"

The scarves hanging from his hat moved, the ornaments ringing softly the moment his face disappeared under it, where she could barely see through the shadow casted on his features. Even then, her eyes still averted away from his figure, somewhere lost in the horizon before them.

Her whole existence had been bound to change; the same way shooting stars never stayed to the same place, her journey was followed by constant changes; civilisations falling and arising, stars rising and dying. There was no consistency to it, but it was almost inevitable to avoid mutation. And the same way the world had changed around her, the same way it had crumbled under her feet the moment she had awakened by herself in Teyvat- she had to adapt herself to that new existence where there was no more Sun to light her path like he always had for her.

However people's minds were not as simple as that constant flow, it could not be compared to the Sun rising and hiding every day as per its habit. People's emotions, their ambitions and desires, their lives... A river could follow a similar path, but its waters never stayed the same for how similar they would look with the naked eye.

"Is change a matter of time or a matter of will?" she had waited for Kami to complete his thoughts out loud, her gaze drifting away from some birds she had been following in their flight. Did she believe people could change? It would be foolish to either deny or agree to it. "It does not matter what I believe in, as long as actions prove one's words of will to do so." she was not deaf to the resentment that still tainted Kami's tone around her, and yet here they were, standing by each other's side even if she had promised herself to take responsibility for Teppei's fate herself. Perhaps even Ei herself had been looking for anything, someone to drag her out of her own broken existence, a hand to cling to so she could overcome her own fear of change. Where there was change there was gain and loss after all.

"Perhaps there will never be a right time for you to face more of your past, however you should do so when you feel ready to. You have the opportunity to choose, which is not necessarily a negative thing."
