HOW DID DR RATIO AND ADVENTURINE GET INVOLVED?! THEY AREN'T EVEN ON THE SAME PLANET?!
Behold: The Fontaine nightmare polycule
Lynette and Charlotte are there for emotional support. Lyney, Mualani, and Kinich are there because I like them.
Continuing with my Genshin stp au-
I’ll expand on it soon I promise, but I realised I’ll need to figure out the roles before properly starting the au’s story
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have some content to share! Here’s some designs I have for Xiao and the twins(the quality and art is ass so sorry about that):
Also my favourite princesses as the twins:
Okay so basically I love Xiao x Traveller in general and if you ship Xiaolumi consider yourself a homie but I personally like Xiaother more.
Honestly the whole discourse on Xiaother vs Xiaolumi is so stupid because technically speaking both Travellers are the same due to how little the game really expands on them but personally I ship Xiaother over Xiaolumi.
It could probably come from my love of opposites attract but it's a little more than that as well. From the little difference we've seen in the twin's personalities, a lot of people agree that Lumi is the more serious one. While she is a warm person, she is more stern and seems to hold her ground well. Aether is more approachable and easy to talk TO rather than AT, while he can be a people pleaser he's still capable of being assertive in a way.
Both of them are easily good for Xiao, their personalities play off of his quite well in the long run. Xiao is more reclusive and tends to keep to himself in fear of hurting other people and losing control, it was obvious he was confused when the traveller was so insistent on talking and interacting with him and was apprehensive at first but got used to them quickly. Not to mention the whole, "Call my name and I'll appear" thing.
When it comes to Xiaolumi, they are both quiet and more serious people that, while they are capable of warmth, tend to stick to their duties and prefer to get things over with efficiently. (They have such power couple potential I love them sm) But in my personal opinion, I feel like they wouldn't be able to always communicate properly and Xiao being with a person similar to him would draw him back from seeing himself as less of a tool, even if Lumi would constantly reassure him that he's not.(ANGST POTENTIAL AMIRITE?) Xiao would probably need someone who wouldn't just tell him, but SHOW him the positive aspects of life, and who better than someone with a friendly and approachable persona?
Xiaother are like this, Xiao is how I describe him and Aether being himself is able to draw Xiao's positive aspects out and influence him more when it comes to social and healthy ways of coping with his trauma or just his low-self esteem in general. Aether would be someone who'd convince him to open up and would be willing to put his tasks on hold to listen, other times he'd do his commissions and whenever he's done he'd try to find Xiao to check in on him. The only sad parts would be that Xiao would feel like he's unworthy of this love and try to backtrack in fear of hurting someone so kind, fear of corrupting someone who brightens his day even if he thinks it in silence. (SORRY I'M ATTACKING YOU WITH ANGST) Xiao might also need someone who can tell him things straight and knows when they don't need to fake a smile when they are overworked or tired which is where Xiaolumi would work better.
Overall, Xiaother is my fav out of the two ships because I enjoy the fluff and Xiao angst just makes me sad :(
But in all seriousness, both ships are valid as heck with both twins being so similar in the game when they are whatever role they are, but when looking at it through the aspect of what the game intends the twins to act-Xiaother is my ride or die because of their dynamic and because of how I enjoy the ideas and hcs in my head for them ESPECIALLY as a fanfic writer.
*Of course to note when it comes to me writing the twin's personalities most of it is based on common opinion and loose evidence mixed with a small hc or two so if you see the twins differently that is perfectly fine-I'm just a hopeless romantic with a love for silly ships </3
ALSO XIAO X ABYSS TWIN WHEN??
There's this artist on yt called "Liviart" and SHE IS SO UNDERRATED RAHHH
She's actually made quite popular animations such as the "Into you" Xiaoven animatic that she recently remade (and the remake is honestly amazing) or the "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" animatic but she mostly does shorts on her channel focused on her Genshin Modern AU but also does a lot of Chiscara content on her shorts!
Also her artstyle is just so cool in general, it's improved amazingly since her older animatics!!! I've been keeping up with the channel for a while and I just want to say her AU does not disappoint if you're looking for Chiscara fluff but also a lot of angst at times as well!
(She also does other ships on the side sometimes but she mostly does focus on Chiscara at the moment. As well as the fact that she is a multishipper I believe and has shipped other Scara ships in the past-right and she maybe still does but now she just happens to be in her Chiscara era)

Eternal Sugar: "Shadow Milk Cookie not now! I'm trying to get my other wife, who doesn't know she's my other wife, to stay with me!"
this is the only thing that can happen that justifies smilk's appearance in ep 10
*Scara proceeds to drop Childe to the floor and calls him "worthless trash" and "Infuriating nuisance" while he storms off angrily*

WOULDN'T YOU LIKE A TASTE OF THE POWER?
I needed this. In fact I need it in my veins.
I feel so unproductive when not writing my fanfic like I always have my brain screaming at me to write the next chapter even when I lack motivation.
"I started thinking-"
"Unfortunate."
