Yes, it's heavily implied and widely interpreted by the community that Kamisato Ayaka has romantic feelings, or a crush, on Aether (the Traveler) in Genshin Impact, shown through her story quests, voice lines, and event interactions that suggest deeper affection beyond just friendship, though some interpretations lean towards her being unaccustomed to close bonds.
Canonically? Ayaka it's heavily implied by her dialogue has feelings for him, and Yanfei at least *thinks* Aether is into her.
Aether was Ayaka's second friend and her first friend outside of the Kamisato Household, with her first one being Thoma, whom she considers as a brother. Ayaka is the only girl Aether explicitly said he would like to spend more time with at a festival, as seen in one of his voicelines.
Generally, as seen in Western fandoms and recently in Chinese communities, although he does have a sizable amount of popular het ships among fans, Aether's most popular ships are his only family ship, Viatwins and only slash ships such as Xiaother, Scaraether and Albether.
Ayaka explicitly stated that she considers Lumine her second friend, with Thoma being her first friend. The two are often shown to be quite sweet with each other and lots of fanart depict the two spending time together and engaging in heart warming activities.
Ayaka Usagida, a young office worker, falls madly in love with her senior team leader, Hiroko Kanō. As Ayaka tries to make her attraction known, Hiroko consistently misreads the situation despite being a lesbian herself. However, Ayaka remains undeterred in confessing her feelings.
Aether/Ships
Yes, Genshin Impact features characters who are canonically LGBTQ+, or heavily queer-coded through lore, dialogue, and events, with examples including Jeht being a lesbian and Venti being canonically non-binary, alongside many player interpretations of characters like Chongyun/Xingqiu or Ningguang/Beidou, though developer miHoYo often avoids explicit romantic confirmations for playable characters to maintain broader appeal.
The rarest 5-star in Genshin Impact depends on the definition: Aloy is permanently unobtainable for new players, making her rare, while Kazuha and characters who haven't had a rerun in a long time (like Albedo, Itto) are rare due to limited availability, but might return. Data suggests characters like Shenhe are rarely C5, and some standard 5-stars (Mona, Qiqi, Jean) are statistically less common to pull for some players, though not permanently rare.
They finally tied the knot. Congratulations to Aether x Furina.
According to Cicero and Hyginus, Caelus was the son of Aether and Dies ("Day" or "Daylight"). Caelus and Dies were in this tradition the parents of Mercury. With Trivia, Caelus was the father of the distinctively Roman god Janus, as well as of Saturn and Ops.
Xiao, Faruzan, Qiqi, Shenhe and Collei are all top contenders for me, but if I have to choose, then Qiqi. Such as scara, the Archons, Fontaine siblings, Kazuha, Xiao etc.
Harem, this is only when it is stated that Aether maintains love relationships with several girls at the same time, and the girls are aware of this and do not mind.
Xiao would describe himself as a femboy and rather different from how others act and dress but he knows how and what to get done and act smart and get things done on time. He knows he isn't the best at making friends and would rather be alone but he knows he tries his best.
Fandom. Is traveller minor? Technically not. They may have a body of a teenager, but that doesn't stop miHoYo from making them older than 500.
There is no canon ship between playable characters (and it is likely that there will never be). Some get shipped more than others and Kinich x Mualani is one of the most popular Natlan ships, but there is nothing canon to it. None of the ships are real.
Lisa seems to be fond of the Traveler, and sometimes acts flirtatious, referring to them as "cutie" or "darling," and admitting that they're special to her.
Sex & Nudity
Some characters wear tight/revealing clothing, mostly unnecessarily showing skin. In liyue there is a old merchant that is talking about toys with you (the traveler) and she says something about toys being for adults (when meaning fireworks) and the traveler responds with "Adult toys?!"
Hemera In Greek Mythology Hemera was the the primordial goddess of the day. She was a daughter of Erebos (Darkness) and Nyx (Night) and the sister and wife of Aether (Heavenly Light).
In the Chinese dub version (also known as the original dub), Aether will refer to Lumine as 妹妹 (Mèimei), meaning : younger sister, and Lumine will refer to Aether as 哥哥 (Gēgē), meaning older/elder brother. Therefor Aether is canonically the older twin of the two.
Yes, many Greek gods had male lovers, with the norm being bisexuality, though figures like Zeus (with Ganymede), Apollo (with Hyacinthus), Hermes, Dionysus, and the hero Heracles are famous examples, often involved in pederastic relationships or deep bonds that modern interpretation calls homosexual or bisexual. While gods like Ares, Hades, and Hephaestus had fewer or no male lovers, same-sex relationships were common across the pantheon, with Zeus often cited as the prime example of a powerful god with male paramours.
Up until to August 2023, Kaeya/Diluc was the second most popular ship in the fandom on AO3, sitting beneath Tartaglia/Zhongli, when it was surpassed by Alhaitham/Kaveh after the release of the Sumeru region.
A Friend in Need — Paimon always cheers Aether up whenever he is discouraged and has been the closest friend to him considering the fact that Paimon was also the one who guided him across Teyvat. Friendship Moment — There are a lot of bonding moments between both.
Furina finally confided her feelings to Aether. Furina saved Fontaine, Aether saved Furina. Their relationship is becoming increasingly intimate. There will be further development between them in the future.
