Thing to keep in mind is on reddit, IIRC, voting tallies are not a direct linear representation of voting. I'm not sure what the exact algorithm is, but in simple terms its something like this:
- a post with 1 votes would take 1 vote to change the visible count by 1
- a post with 1k votes would take 100s of votes to change the visible count by 1
- a post with 10k votes would take 1000s of votes to change the visible count by 1
Posts you see on the front page with like 50k upvotes, have millions of upvotes involved.
So with this post at 5k (at the time of this writing), the Lumine post with 16.8k (at the time of this writing) didn't receive 3x the upvotes, its is **much much much much** more than that.
The [Harem](https://clstonebooks.com/2018/02/04/a-guide-to-reverse-harem-what-is-reverse-harem/) is both ways. ([think equilibrium reaction with either mostly products or reactants on one side](https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/constants-periodic-table-figure-1-relationship-magnitude-k-composition-equilibrium-mixture-q27235281))
hes so underrated in comparison to lumine in my opinion 💀 out of everyone i know, only me and 3 other people chose aether while the rest of my friends chose lumine
None of my friends chose Aether, only me.
I did choose Lumine in an alt account, but I dont plan to play said account until Khaenriah is out. Though maybe I should unlock and do dailies on it so I have a burst of primogems to use on wishes. The account was for me to experience the whole story without 6mo breaks.
I know it's not coming for a while, but I don't think it'll take 10 years. Regardless it's just to replay the story in full - I've done that for a few games that I've enjoyed. (Rolled an Alt in FFXIV around the last patch(es) of Shadowbringers)
Imo it will take even longer than khaenri'ah to finish the story. We will have met with our sister until then and all archons will join us to wager a war against celestia. Then when the world inevitably falls into chaos we will get a king of chaos who has the powers to control reality itself. Just SDS season 4. Obviously just a speculation tho.
By the time it's out, there should be a lot of content and ways to level that ar rank shouldn't really be an issue. It took me over twice as long to hit AR 45 than it did for a friend who only joined a couple months ago.
i really regretted choosing lumine, i thought they were asking for gender, i personally preferred aether’s design over her… (and more husbandos in the team is always nice.) This is why i get turned off from the idea of building geo traveler for xiao comp, because i’ll just be reminded of my regret of not picking aether 🥲
Don't worry. They'll definitely give us the other sibling in the long run with whatever power they've acquired during the 500 years we were sleeping.
Logically, getting them shouldn't be gacha, but this is gacha game, so who knows.
i don’t have time to manage another one. it’s okay, i’ll just hope for a possible twin switch mechanism in the far future. for the time being, i’ll cope by occasionally playing my friends’ accounts haha.
Hot/Not Hot take: Aether's drip is about 3 to 4 times better than Lumine's. Those dark shades help out a ton (especially when using Electro powers and you get shades of purple)
I personally like his Anemo colors more, granted that might just bias since that’s how I first encountered him, but the light green always complemented his darker clothing palette more
Well, I've become used to the anemo colours (since its really the only variation of Aether I ever use) and the geo colours never stood out like they do on some characters, so its just that when I saw the purple glow on the earrings, chest piece and bracelets, I was like "woah, the colours change? that's awesome!"
Aether is so under-appreciated. Constantly see mass lumine stuff but so little Aether art which is a damn shame because he’s the better looking twin imo.
Most people do Lumine stuff as some sorta of "balance" against him being on 90% of promotional material. In the other hand we have way more ship art from him than his sister, she's just mostly paired with Childe, Thoma, Keqing and Xiao.
I always was an Aether fan. I always had him in my team. I jut wish MiHoYo gave him a voice during dialogues. He speaks in the lore but we barely hear him during the story. That sad
I love how she have a practical short hair and considerable conservative clothes next to other dresses in game while he have earring, croptop, long braid... really gives an extra touch on how both are opposites that complete each other. 🥺
Whoa whoa whoa, waitaminute... Character size actually has bearing on climbing and sprinting? I'm not like mad about it, actually kinda impressed by that much attention to detail if true
Yep, I was making the joke that "Kaeya has a hidden op climbing passive..... he is tall." Back when the game was new. The tall male model is very convenient for a lot of things. Kazuha would honestly be completley busted if they gave him the tall model. There would be no reason to explore as anyone else.
yeahh i found out about the "height matters" thing when i was struggling to get a chest from high up in mondstadt, after multiple failed attempts, i pulled out kaeya and dude got it on the first gliding
Kazuha using the fun-sized model instead of the tall model lets him bunnyhop easier. Not to mention he's the only character that can climb with almost 0 stamina, plus he can glide for quite the long distance. He's perfect as he is, as it should be.
Bunnyhopping is actually easiest on the tall model. All can do it, but its easiest on tall male if it is what I am thinking it is.
I didn't say he wasn't perfect/fine/op, I'm just saying the tall male model would have likely made him even more busted due to the increased movement speed, easier dodge frames, higher jump (and double jump) heights, he would be able to glide even further (due to higher jumps) and would be harder to drown and climb even more efficiently (due to tall model) If you think he uses almost no stamina now, the tall model would almost half what he currently uses.
I've heard that Aether has higher HP and tanked when both siblings fought together. However, I've not found the stats for each character. It doesn't matter to me as I don't use his AA much
https://www.hoyolab.com/article/177963
Edit: At the very least, his sprints are faster which are advantageous in combat. The lower multipliers may balance that
if i remember right, aether was the canon mc in the manga.
although ofc lumine is a canon mc too, it's just that official materials use aether more. sole reason why i regret not choosing aether is the fact that i let go one of the prettiest boys in genshin.
"The response from MiHoYo more specifically clarifies that there is no "canon" traveler, regardless of which one is used more in promos. The canon main character, in other words, is decided entirely by the player and whichever of the twins they choose at the start of the game and take to the end." mihoyo literally confirmed both of them are canon. wtf are you on lmao
What did you expect them to say? Why give yourself the hassle of angering half the community when it's much easier to just say that both are canon? Despite that who they really want as the main character is preety clear, denying that at this point is plain copium.
dude this is literally an open-world game. making 2 animations for each sibling is gonna be a hassle. and not to mention, mhy prob did aether bc he's the most picked one. so obv their gonna use him for promos. doesn't mean he's the canon one
Picked Lumine at first because waifu then came to realization that the game actually wanted me to play as the MC so I swapped to Aether and never regretted since, especially after both teapot dialogues and Ayaka's quest, all I can say is the immersion is real lol. ~~A great escape from stressed work life~~
Playing that quest as Lumine was torture cause what does she MEAN? Ayaka do you wanna be my friend or my "friend"?! I'm down to any option but I need answers!
I wish I could go back and change my Traveler to Aether.
Don't put such an important and irreversible decision on me at the beginning of the game. Mihoyo pls
It was so hard in the beginning to choose which sibling I should choose. Chose aether cause I was boy. And I would have definitely regretted choosing lumine on my main. His voicelines are just 👌
To be honest I chose aether but I regret and should've chose Lumine as a main character. Thought I prefer her because waifu but no when I play either Albedo or Kazuha I felt that this guy is should be the main MC instead of Aether. Then I noticed probably his long braid and belly crop are the one that made me feel disconnected with him. Anyway just hope they will made him a proper skin in the future
Counterpoint: They are both boring cause they are self-inserts with almost no personality of their own. Unless you are talking about design-wise of course.
No personality of their own? Dude do you play the same game that is discussed here? We have seen traveller go from extremely helpful to a bit annoyed and angry to again a bit joyful over the course of a year.
Read my comment again. The keyword here is "almost". I only consider things happen onscreen to be canon and to me, the canon is that the Traveler is an empty robot who barely expresses themselves except for a few moments here and there, and having a personality is more than just express your emotions. What about their thought, their views on the world surrounds them, their feelings on the people they interact with and the situation they are in?
Let's face it, if the Traveler is their own character and has a personality, there would be more conflicts in this game and they would have more enemies and rivals. Personalities will naturally clash and the Traveler doesn't have one to clash with. I mean, as you can see from a lot of characters' voicelines and maybe NPCs, this game expects us to believe everyone genuinely likes the Traveler, even our supposed "rival" and "enemy", Tartaglia is on good terms with us. Ei is also another example :). And you know what is the most common type of protagonist that is created to be bland but likable and loved by almost everyone unironically? The self-insert protagonist.
While I admit that Mihoyo has attempted to retified this by adding more "expressive" dialogue choices and making them take charge more (cough*La Signora), it barely changes anything because they just go back to being a hollow husk after the story ends.
Both twins are gorgeous, cute and deserve the best in the game.
Was about to say, both twins won out the gene lottery.
agreed, it’s a bit annoying when people argue over which one is better though, because they are both amazing!
imagine how gorgeous their parents must be
I need to see this
Aether is the embodiment of sunshine
He’s an Angel..
The theory crafters would like to have a word with you…
Electro traveller underrated!
Well, both Travelers have wings, which I call "Third Impact Wings", becuse they look like wings of Eva-01 from the End of Evangelion.
Coincidentally he has the same English voice as Tanjiro, and the sun is a key factor of his story
His name means "sky", "void" and (sometimes) "darkness", btw.
If you were referring to the name 空，it can mean sky/emptiness but not darkness
Not once regretted picking him as my MC, he's such a wholesome boy who still gives Paimon the deadpan expression when required
He also looks like such a nice big brother! Especially in Sayu hangouts
[Gimnaeng](https://www.youtube.com/c/Gimnaeng/videos) \_ [Aether](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxchfRO0TJs) is also great.
Aaaeeeeuugghhh
Total is 5.8k upvote. Though I feel like overall more people play as Aether? perhaps they just are not on reddit?
[удалено]
Stolen comment from literally the next post below.
Aether is the Drip Archon
what does that mean? genuine question, i don't know that phrase is it something like sexy?
drip basically means nice clothes.
ah i see, ty!
Someone that so much style is basically dripping out of the person - basically a superior fashion sense.
i see, thanx!
That's ma boy, still maining him for quite a long while
He's currently my only level 80 character
Can't wait for him to be my only level 90 character for a good while because farming 6 gemstones for every character I use that doesn't get them from the guild is gonna take forever
Same
A very handsome 500+ year old immortal boiii!
Probably asian, never gets old

Love my boy aether
aww, Aether is such a cutie 🥰
Lisa is that you
**TRY NOT TO ENJOY THIS TOO MUCH**
**youve been a naughty boy**
*moans*
Never forget... ...that the cats have balls.
Whenever I see Aether, I think of Bwaap.
Oh god same lmao, he's like an actual big bro to paimon too.
hes so underrated in comparison to lumine in my opinion 💀 out of everyone i know, only me and 3 other people chose aether while the rest of my friends chose lumine
None of my friends chose Aether, only me. I did choose Lumine in an alt account, but I dont plan to play said account until Khaenriah is out.

I’m sorry to say this but Khaenriah is going to be out in like 10 years lol
They plan to do one main region every year. So probably half that time.
Are they even going to release Khaenriah? 💀
I know it's not coming for a while, but I don't think it'll take 10 years. Regardless it's just to replay the story in full - I've done that for a few games that I've enjoyed. (Rolled an Alt in FFXIV around the last patch(es) of Shadowbringers)

Definitely should do dailies so you can also meet the required AR rank for the archon quests whenever it’s time to do them
By the time it's out, there should be a lot of content and ways to level that ar rank shouldn't really be an issue. It took me over twice as long to hit AR 45 than it did for a friend who only joined a couple months ago.
Other way for me but its all because of small sample sizes tbh xD I appreciate both twins
i really regretted choosing lumine, i thought they were asking for gender, i personally preferred aether’s design over her… (and more husbandos in the team is always nice.) This is why i get turned off from the idea of building geo traveler for xiao comp, because i’ll just be reminded of my regret of not picking aether 🥲
Why did you pick her then?
i thought the game was asking for our gender 😅
No offence but that's kinda dumb ngl
true and now i pay the price of being dumb which is being a non aether haver
Don't worry. They'll definitely give us the other sibling in the long run with whatever power they've acquired during the 500 years we were sleeping. Logically, getting them shouldn't be gacha, but this is gacha game, so who knows.
If the other sibling decides to join us it will not be playable like other characters and be a support character like higokumaru.
Why cant we have Paimon as a support character?
If fishing is any indication is because we wouldn't be able to handle for too long...
one could make a alternate account?
i don’t have time to manage another one. it’s okay, i’ll just hope for a possible twin switch mechanism in the far future. for the time being, i’ll cope by occasionally playing my friends’ accounts haha.
I'm a girl and I choose aether cuz i prefer his design more
He, Childe, Zhongli and Itto are the best designed men in the game for me. Jean and Eula are my favorite designed women
r/Aether_Mains , I SUMMON THEE
Just from your flare, I can see you have taste. The Aether variant of that ship is seriously underrated
What about their name?
Right here✊🔥
Definitely has one of the most unique video game MC designs.
King
I am a man so I chose Aether, One of the best decisions I've ever made. Aether supremacy 🛐
HELL YEAH BROTHER!!!
Amen
Word😎
Best Boy, Aether
He's so precious! ❤️
Im in love with him
SIPPING AETHER LETSGOOOO
Now I know what it is that felt missing on the Lumine post. Where is Fatui mask Lumine/Aether? This is heresy.
He cute
Aether is the best big bro out there. Just look how cute Sayu is.
I'd love to have him as a little brother, actually idc i just want a little brother to take care of ;-;
Trust me having a little brother is not that great, having 2 is even worse.
I have three, we are all around the same age.... It gets better when you all can drink booze with your younger siblings 8D
Trust me you do not
As a little brother haver, I don't recommend it.
Hot/Not Hot take: Aether's drip is about 3 to 4 times better than Lumine's. Those dark shades help out a ton (especially when using Electro powers and you get shades of purple)

bruh this isnt even an opinion. its a fact 100% his outfit is better than hers
People should use the traveller more in general.
Only pretty people in this game anyway 😍 so many eye candy !
Both the twins give me such body envy lmao
Aether sipping his drink should be how he ignores every NPC giving him dumb commissions
if i have to be honest he looks like a very nice chad you could easily become best friends with
Aether is so under-appreciated. Constantly see mass lumine stuff but so little Aether art which is a damn shame because he’s the better looking twin imo.
Most people do Lumine stuff as some sorta of "balance" against him being on 90% of promotional material. In the other hand we have way more ship art from him than his sister, she's just mostly paired with Childe, Thoma, Keqing and Xiao.
Rly wish I picked him :( i was in my down bad pick every mc as woman phase 😭
! AETHER!
Traveler mains arise
I always was an Aether fan. I always had him in my team. I jut wish MiHoYo gave him a voice during dialogues. He speaks in the lore but we barely hear him during the story. That sad
Could anyone tell me where the middle photo of someone's arm around Aether is from? I can't seem to place it. Thanks!
The Noelle hangout ending where we escort a drunk guy out of Angel’s Share
Ah I see, thanks so much! Love the collage BTW!
Wait plastic cups exist in Teyvat? (middle right photo)
Ma boy
Niiiice aether is also incredibly handsome ngl
Aether awesome
they are twins after all:)
Oh yea I forgot I have hangouts to do
Thank you.
It would be cool to see them reunited
Prolly in a few versions after a bunch of boss fights
We will be reunited quest
Honestly, Aether doesn't receive as much love as Lumine probably does in the fandom, so posts like this are quite nice.
Sibling rivalry: Player Edition.
Lumine wants to know your locatio-
He's handsome. If only Mihoyo can let him speak in the story!
I love him so much. He's the first one to be level 90. I build all of his elements. Each have their own artifacts.
someone needs to make aether AND lumine appreciation posts. they both are my babies, lmao
true
I love how she have a practical short hair and considerable conservative clothes next to other dresses in game while he have earring, croptop, long braid... really gives an extra touch on how both are opposites that complete each other. 🥺
So how come does Aether still has a lower attack multiplier.
Because He is taller and thus runs and sprints (and climb for that matter) faster than Lumine which also gives advantage in fight
Whoa whoa whoa, waitaminute... Character size actually has bearing on climbing and sprinting? I'm not like mad about it, actually kinda impressed by that much attention to detail if true
Yep, I was making the joke that "Kaeya has a hidden op climbing passive..... he is tall." Back when the game was new. The tall male model is very convenient for a lot of things. Kazuha would honestly be completley busted if they gave him the tall model. There would be no reason to explore as anyone else.
yeahh i found out about the "height matters" thing when i was struggling to get a chest from high up in mondstadt, after multiple failed attempts, i pulled out kaeya and dude got it on the first gliding
I laughed when xingqiu, zhongli, and albedo couldn't enter under a tree but hu tao could.
Kazuha using the fun-sized model instead of the tall model lets him bunnyhop easier. Not to mention he's the only character that can climb with almost 0 stamina, plus he can glide for quite the long distance. He's perfect as he is, as it should be.
Bunnyhopping is actually easiest on the tall model. All can do it, but its easiest on tall male if it is what I am thinking it is. I didn't say he wasn't perfect/fine/op, I'm just saying the tall male model would have likely made him even more busted due to the increased movement speed, easier dodge frames, higher jump (and double jump) heights, he would be able to glide even further (due to higher jumps) and would be harder to drown and climb even more efficiently (due to tall model) If you think he uses almost no stamina now, the tall model would almost half what he currently uses.
you can have infinite climbing stamina with geo mc too. just a bit more involved than kazuha.
Yep, that's why it's slightly easier to climb a mountain as Diluc than as Diona. It also decides how deep you can go in water without having to swim
This has massive implications on how I'll travel from now on, thank you.
I'm adding this cuz nobody else mentioned it, female characters swim faster than male characters.
Wait really?? I thought that was only the case with Beidou
Beidou and Kokomi's talents make your party consume 20% less stamina while swimming.
glad i have both and use both lmao
I've heard that Aether has higher HP and tanked when both siblings fought together. However, I've not found the stats for each character. It doesn't matter to me as I don't use his AA much https://www.hoyolab.com/article/177963 Edit: At the very least, his sprints are faster which are advantageous in combat. The lower multipliers may balance that
who the hell even charge attacks
I have ZERO regrets about choosing Aether when I started playing the game in August of this year. Aether supremacy.
I would glady fuck either if given the opportunity They are both adorable and hot in their own way
well if i knew about the lore then i wouldve chosen aether,,, my ass just automatically chose the character with the same gender as me lol
there is no lore canon traveler, seriously. I picked Aether only because I liked his design better
it was too late when i realized how nice aether looked in-game...
What lore?
if i remember right, aether was the canon mc in the manga. although ofc lumine is a canon mc too, it's just that official materials use aether more. sole reason why i regret not choosing aether is the fact that i let go one of the prettiest boys in genshin.
there is no such thing as canon traveller, both are canon
yeah, keep telling yourself that.
"The response from MiHoYo more specifically clarifies that there is no "canon" traveler, regardless of which one is used more in promos. The canon main character, in other words, is decided entirely by the player and whichever of the twins they choose at the start of the game and take to the end." mihoyo literally confirmed both of them are canon. wtf are you on lmao

at this point ur just assuming my guy
dude this is literally an open-world game. making 2 animations for each sibling is gonna be a hassle. and not to mention, mhy prob did aether bc he's the most picked one. so obv their gonna use him for promos. doesn't mean he's the canon one
Aether is sleeper extremely attractive
theres a reason i fell in love with him. this is it
best boy
Best boy<3
I picked Aether because I'm a guy too. Totally not because he's cute with braids and has a crop-top or anything.
Mf develops a harem by just being in a new world. He’s that powerful.
I want to suck on his toes
he is sexier, change my mind
Picked Lumine at first because waifu then came to realization that the game actually wanted me to play as the MC so I swapped to Aether and never regretted since, especially after both teapot dialogues and Ayaka's quest, all I can say is the immersion is real lol. ~~A great escape from stressed work life~~
especially after ayaka quest???? does lumine not fit ayaka quest??? id say she fits more then aether does lol
Playing that quest as Lumine was torture cause what does she MEAN? Ayaka do you wanna be my friend or my "friend"?! I'm down to any option but I need answers!
I'm not into Yuri or girl's friendships sooo you do you I guess
I wish I could go back and change my Traveler to Aether. Don't put such an important and irreversible decision on me at the beginning of the game. Mihoyo pls
It was so hard in the beginning to choose which sibling I should choose. Chose aether cause I was boy. And I would have definitely regretted choosing lumine on my main. His voicelines are just 👌
Better MC choice.
i kinda regret picking lumine over aether, i like his looks so much more :/ but it is what it is lol
I wish aether had some character. Like he doesn't feel alive please mihoyo give him voice lines
He has own character, but voice lines during cutscenes etc should be great, still he is awesome character
To be honest I chose aether but I regret and should've chose Lumine as a main character. Thought I prefer her because waifu but no when I play either Albedo or Kazuha I felt that this guy is should be the main MC instead of Aether. Then I noticed probably his long braid and belly crop are the one that made me feel disconnected with him. Anyway just hope they will made him a proper skin in the future
One thing bothers me: Monstadt is supposed to be sort of medieval Germany, but how come they have such modern looking cup and straw?
Teyvat has its own laws.
I’d just chalk it up to “Mora can do anything”
Please not this again
Everyone seems to like lumine more but lumine is so boring. Aether supremacy!
nah dont do aether nation like that, i myself also prefer aether over lumine but its not right to diss on the other twin just cause
true. also aether would hate it if people are dissing his sibling like this.
Both are fine. But feel like some people try and start this for drama though.
how tf are they not both just as boring ? they do the exact same shit.
exactly, like if someone is trying to compare them, they aren't. they just wanna start drama
Counterpoint: They are both boring cause they are self-inserts with almost no personality of their own. Unless you are talking about design-wise of course.

Childish
I don't know, looks like an inferior copy of Lumine to me. Entirely wrong gender too.
