#but the experience was so fun that i decided to try my hand at gnosis which has been out for a few months and voilà

[sisterdivinium]

"Captured by the hymn, Jillian Salvius felt her phantoms deflate, the violence in her veins suddenly run slow. Her sore, tired shoulders were strangely covered by a soothing cape of song and she could not help but wonder whether her heart, so pacified, could not remain blissfully suspended as this after the music ended. For now, however, even the interrogations so natural to her scientific predisposition were silenced by the voices of women ringing together. They all coalesced into that single psalm. Jillian allowed herself to close her eyes and join them in her own way, letting them fill her as they filled the space around them. Danger disintegrated, her wraiths chased away by prayer, song, beauty, if only for those precious seconds of unspeakable communion." (Gnosis, on AO3)

ChiLumi | Hidden Meaning

Okay, so, basically, this takes place in between the Archon missions and before Golden House.

I'm gonna leave bullet points just cuz it's easier that way and I'm so bad at writing. I might make a fic of it later though if enough people want me to XD

There might be some additional parts to this too cuz I wanna put in detail how the Golden House fight went down, how Childe's story mission worked, and every other ChiLumi headcanon after that so yeah.

They may be a bit OOC but this is how I imagine it playing out

So we're clear, Childe has used his charms to woo over many to gain information for the Fatui. He sees Lumine slightly falling for him so he decides to use this to his advantage no one tell the boy he is in love yet, he refuses to believe it

Childe invites Lumine out to run some errands around Liyue. His excuse? The group is running out of food and needs to cook up some more stuff for their future adventures.

His conditions? Everyone else must stay behind, including Paimon. Paimon says no to this, obviously, since she hasn't left Lumine's side.

Lumine, however, says yes.

Most of the team is heavily against this outing, but Kaeya, Barbara, Chongyun, and Xiangling seem to be on Lumine's side, letting her go and convince the rest to let Childe and Lumine do as they please. (Side note: Kaeya and Barbara are huge playing factors in this entire ChiLumi saga)

Childe and Lumine start wandering around Liyue and stop by the beach, where Lumine starts picking up some starconches behind Childe's back

She hands it over and says it's a gift for him. When he asks why, she says she wants to try and convince Childe to join them on their adventure.

Lumine isn't dumb; she knew Childe did this to try and squeeze info out of her, hence why she accepted. However, she decided that she wants to try and convince Childe to leave the Fatui and switch sides.

Childe isn't convinced, obviously, and says that he is her enemy--she can't expect him to switch sides that easily, could she? Especially not when he's made it clear that he, Tartaglia, the 11th Harbinger, wants to conquer the world!

Lumine, however, begs to differ

"How about we make a deal?" She asks. "I'll take you sightseeing around Liyue Harbor while we run errands. I want you to take a good look this time and see the people of Liyue not as people you collect debt from, not as people you need to defeat, nor as people you need to conquer. I want you to see the as people with families and lives, living their days out peacefully... as your average human being, like you or me. If you can do that, at least consider leaving the Fatui, okay?"

Childe scoffs, saying that he'll only take the deal because he knows it won't work. Lumine shoves the starconch into his hands and pulls him along, smiling sweetly. His heart slightly flutters but this stupid idiot thinks the world is black and white and he can't be in love with the enemy so he ignores it.

Lumine starts heading to some stalls and buying some food, sharing it with Childe. He states that he's already done this before, but she wants him to experience it from a different point of view. She leads him to Wanmin Restaraunt and the two feast.

Childe doesn't know why, but for some reason, the food tastes a bit better than when he tasted it the first time he came to Liyue. He looks to Lumine, who's enjoying every bite, and softly smiles.

After paying, she continues dragging him everywhere. To drink tea, to hear stories, or to even watch kids fly kites (and even convince him to fly a kite with her)

Then, they get to the middle of Yujing Terrace

Childe was having a great time so far and was almost forgetting that he was supposed to be dragging out information from her, but when they got to the scene where the Exuvia was supposed to be, where the crime scene had taken place days earlier, he remembered that he was a Fatui. What was he doing, having fun without getting his job done? He needed to get that Gnosis, after all, from Rex Lapis' corpse.

Lumine leads him to one of the altars and says that even if the Rite of Decension is no more, she still wants to make a wish with him. Childe is amused that she would do such a thing and agrees.

She lights the incense stick and lights the altar, making her wish. Childe starts to question her.

"Y'know... I would like to know what you wished for, Oujo-chan. Convince me that the Tsaritsa is wrong about this whole thing... that the world shouldn't be our enemy and that there's still hope."

Childe was expecting Lumine to turn him down, but she answered with her wish.

"...I want to be reunited with someone special to me. We were always attached to the hip whenever we traveled together, and even if we parted ways, I knew where to meet him. I knew where to go. But I lost him... and I'm so scared. I wake up in the middle of the night because I keep seeing nightmares where he walks away from me and I can never reach him."

She has a sad look in her eyes as she keeps continuing.

"If anything, I just want to see him again and know he's safe... and, along the way, maybe gather up more friends. I want to have the people of Teyvat united and happy together... if I can gather more people together, I'd like that... we can go hunt for treasure, solve puzzles, discover ruins, fight ruins... all while trying to find our own goals, we can come together, as a family."

Childe smiled at her answer, and when Lumine asked what he wished for, he hesitantly answered. He began to murmur, searching for the right words, but all he could come up with was the answer he knew all around him expected from him.

"...to become stronger and... conquer the world...?"

He sounded unsure, because he was. Lumine didn't pick up on that and just laughed, saying that sounded so like him. But, truth was, he was conflicted on his wish.

In truth, he wanted a resolve like Lumine.

He wished someone would tell him that he doesn't need to constantly fight and bring chaos.

He wished someone would treat him as a friend, or even as family, unlike the Fatui, who either despised him with their entire being or feared him, whether out of respect or their sheer will to survive in the Fatui.

He wished someone would tell him it's okay to feel vulnerable--that the world was okay, and that he can live as a person. Not as a Harbinger, not as a Fatui...

He wished someone would tell him that he can protect those he loves without constantly destroying others who are loved by their own families.

He looked to Lumine, who started gazing at the stars above and realized one thing and one thing only:

He wished that Lumine would tell him that he isn't alone anymore.

The next day, when Lumine woke up, Childe handed her a bouquet of Windwheel Asters.

When Lumine asked why, Childe brushed it off as telling her to get stronger for their upcoming battle.

Deep inside, though, those weren't Childe's true intentions. In fact, what he meant to say was this:

"When that fateful day comes, beat me... make me change sides. Become so strong that I have no choice but to listen to you."

"Prove to me that I'm a monster worth saving."

my heart aches for these two, because childe in this entire storyline is literally trying to convince himself that he can't switch sides and he's already gone too far deep to be saved

honey plz lumine is trying to show u that you're just like anyone else. you don't need to conquer the world to protect those you love oh my gOD

#chilumi #genshin impact #headcanon #genshin childe #childe #lumine #genshin traveler #genshin #angst #genshin angst #just pure and utter angst #childe for fucks sake please switch sides lumine didn't say it verbally but she loves you #yes lumine loves childe #she didn't say it verbally but she loves him #childe goddammit why are you so stuBBORN #plz excuse my bad writing hahahahahahaha #tartaglia

Seductress’s stage show

I want you to focus your eyes for a moment, and imagine yourself in a nice large auditorium.

See, you just can’t have a hypnosis show in any random place.

In fact, the school was nice enough to let me perform here.

A few students knew about me and were wondering if anyone else would enjoy a hypnosis show.

So here we are, I am standing on a stage and you are sitting in the audience.

Looking up at me as stages are elevated, but other than that simply enjoying the show.

Hello, I am seductress and this is a hypnosis show.

See, most hypnotist have a fancy name like Mesmer or the master this or the mind controller that.

But not me, it is simply seductress.

And the reason for this is that I let you decide what you think of me.

And who knows maybe you will he impresses today, and maybe you will be bored.

I don’t know, I can’t decide for you how you are feeling.

But I can try to guide you.

See we get guided every day of our lives, influenced by the people around us.

if someone makes a good joke we laugh we’re entertained, if someone makes a bad joke we frown, we apply the palm of our hand to our face.

See, that made you smile, I just had an effect on you without using hypnosis.

Now the thing about hypnosis is that it’s not actually that magical.

There is a lot of science behind it and there’s a lot of clever people trying to figure out how it works.

And they’re about as far with that as they’re trying to figure out how dreams work, which is to say not that far yet.

But that’s OK, it’s still something very enjoyable like sleeping.

And just like sleeping, it’s very relaxing and completely safe.

Well, you wouldn’t want to sleep behind the wheel of course, and similarly you shouldn’t do hypnosis when you’re driving a car.

Now since you’re sitting in the audience, you can’t be driving a car otherwise I’d be in trouble.

No cars allowed in the auditorium.

So now what we are going to do is, I’m going to ask you to focus your eyes.

Now hopefully you enjoy following my words, hopefully you like the cadence and the melody of my words.

I try not to be boring I try not to talk and I completely monotone words which many people do.

No, instead I try to sort of play across your mind as if I’m playing in instrument, and you can’t make a song with one note.

In fact there’s one thing that makes music work, be it drums or instruments, and that’s harmony.

And that’s actually something that we are going to do today.

My words will simply play a melody for your mind and if the harmony is fine your mind will respond.

It might relax, or even drift away into a wonderful state of blankness.

It may just float, feeling light and drifty and feeling enjoyably relaxed.

It may become very responsive to my words, as though I could snap my fingers and tell you to drop and you’d feel yourself fall.

But I’m getting ahead of myself, aren’t I?

Even though some of you have already fallen.

Even though some of you in the audience, I could see your heads just lolling forward slowly.

And then with a DROP came that wonderful feeling of just.. DROP.

Your mind is going BLANK, your body is relaxing a little bit more.

And that nice feeling of my words just flows into your mind without having to think about it.

So, what I’m going to do is I’m going to count down from 10 to 1.

And with every count, I want you to imagine that you’re in an elevator going down.

See we’re starting at 10, which is when you’re awake.

And we’re going down all the way to one, which is where you will be deeply in trance.

And that’s it, that’s all I have to do.

Say I’ve gained some of your trust by showing that I’m just nice and gentle, and I’m not an evil overlord trying to take over the world.

I have the wrong laugh for that currently.

We’ll see later if I’m evil, okay?

See that smile, that little smirk is just playing me a melody across your mind.

10... All you have to do is read and enjoy.

9.... Slowly going down.

8.... Thankfully without elevator music.

7.... But a nice relaxing cadence.

6.... Going deeper and deeper.

5.... Letting yourself relax more and more.

4.... Just enjoying that warm relaxing feeling.

3.... Almost there.

2.... You can almost feel the relaxation.

And 1.... DROP DEEP.

Now see you are nice and deep, and I think you would make a wonderful subject for a little display of hypnosis here on Stage.

And all you have to do is come up here on my other social media forums and ask me if you can perform.

And you know my answer will be yes.

And just like that you can feel yourself already craving to make that phone call.

Without even thinking about it, you got up from her chair in the auditorium and started walking to the stage and stood in front of me.

With just a flick of my hands he realize that you should face the audience.

Now, this is where a lot of state gnosis tries to show off the power that the hypnotist has over the subject.

Usually by making them do silly things or making them do intense things.

But I however have a different plan.

See the thing is, everyone in the audience is less hypnotized than youare, and they don’t know how good that feels.

They have no idea how good it feels to be deeply hypnotized, otherwise they’d be up here with you.

Or in this case wanting to join the group call with you.

So what we’re gonna do is, we’re going to show them how good it feels to be hypnotized.

And the better you feel, the more deeply you will feel it, the more amazed the audience will become.

Now of course I’m not gonna ask you to stand this whole time.

So thanks to a little helper a chair is now right behind you.

And if I touch your four head and make you drop, you were easily fall into the chair with a little bit of guidance.

And you sit, so relaxed

Now, the audience is captivated.

They saying you go from almost a robot walking onto the stage without really paying them any attention, to a complete ragdoll all nice and calm just like a relaxed and mindless drone.

You could almost here the gasp.

The audience is quiet staring.

It feels so nice to have this experience.

See the things is, the audience doesn’t have that nice feeling like you have.

You are both the center of attention, but also the center of relaxation.

And you can feel deep inside that every single member secretly wishes they were you.

I tell you that son hypnotist make your feet glued to their stage and walk away asking you to join them making fun of how you can’t move.

But as for I all I have to do is say a simple phrase and when I say it your mind is going to go

Plop

Plop

Plop.

And that phrase is *EMPTY AND OBEDIENT*.

Does that phrase bring back any memory?

Yes that’s right sweetie dropping deeper and deeper and this point your eyes are rolling back.

See it feels so good to be hypnotized.

So that’s why when you wake from this and if you have me on any of the social media accounts listed from my previous scripts you will ask me if you can perform do you understand?

Good slave.

AWAKE
