#also its not like traveler is super buddy-buddy w childe either.... theyre not besties

[idiotsonlyevent]

i didn't like traveler's callousness towards lyney and lynette during the aq, because it's made very clear that the twins joined the house of hearth to stay together... kind of like how traveler is looking for their sibling? and how they were crushed when their sibling rejected them in the first interlude chapter? it felt out of character to me, because traveler consistently folds the moment someone brings their family into things. it happened with childe, navia, and im sure there are more characters that im forgetting. so why was it different with the twins? bc they're fatui? even then, travler has shown the ability the empathize and work with people they don't really like because of a shared understanding of the importance of family. i would think traveler would at least have some sympathy for the fact the twins are both orphans trying to stick together after experiencing tremendous loss and trauma - that is very similar to their own - but i guess not.

#i havent played lyneys sq yet so isk how this is hnadled there but i wanted my preliminary thoughts out #its not abt immediately liking the twins or being best friends or whatever. its the complete lack of sympathy? empathy?? whatever at their #situation and how this could affect them in other ways #also idk why everyone is comparing lyney and lynette to childe when their situations are SO different. apples to orages #also its not like traveler is super buddy-buddy w childe either.... theyre not besties #its at best an uneasy alliance that was ALSO in part cultivated thru teucer. we known this guy for months if not years #we just met the twins. i dont want them to be immediate besties. but i was surprised when traveler's ONE 'exception' wasnt enough. #i also understand why traveler wants to 'stay out of things' but the way its written into the aq feels like it often clashes w wqs and sqs #so i kind of wish they would stop doing it lmfao #genshin impact #L.txt
