Lumimon is the friendship between Lumine and Paimon from the Genshin Impact fandom.
Canon[]
Lumine lost her brother Aether to an Unknown God, who also stranded her on Teyvat. Five hundred years later, Lumine wakes up and spots Paimon almost drowning. She pulls her to the surface with a fishing rod, saving her. Paimon joins Lumine on her journey as a kind-hearted travel companion and guide, as a way to repay her. They travel to each nation of Teyvat together, looking for The Seven to see if they have any information regarding Aether's whereabouts. Paimon and Lumine become good friends on their adventures with each other.
Paimon is included in every one of Lumine's voicelines, which goes the same to her sibling, Aether. In Lumine's voiceline about Being Sisters, she states Lisa and Amber act like sisters. From her perspective, Lisa is like an older sister asking Amber to run errands for her, making Amber the younger sister. Paimon jokes that would mean Lumine is her younger sister, because since the former floats Lumine is the only one who can "run" errands. In general, Lumine is seen to tease Paimon a lot from quests to voicelines.
Archon Quests[]
In all of the Archon Quests, Paimon is always there with Lumine. Paimon guides Lumine to a Statue of the Seven in the prologue, When the both of them first went to Mondstadt, guided by Amber. When Amber asks about Paimon, Lumine was able to tell that she was emergency food which will make Paimon mad, though Amber then guided the two to Mondstadt. Paimon and Lumine ate at Good Hunters. The fanbase sometimes talks about Lumine's face whenever Paimon keeps talking about food or when Paimon is being "stupid".
In Inazuma's Chapter, in Act 2. When Lumine was defeated by the Raiden Shogun, Lumine was unconscious, Paimon fled towards her and tried to perform a CPR. Paimon also tried to tell her to wake up but then gotten scared by the Shogun as if she was about to execute Lumine. Lumine was quickly then saved by Thoma, and flee away from the Shogun.
In the Sumeru Archon Quest, after Lumine passes out, Paimon kept yelling “Why, oh why?! Is she going to die!?”.
Act IV - Prelude: Bough Keeper: Dainsleif[]
In Act 1 of the Bough Keeper: Dainsleif Quest, When Lumine introduced herself to Dainsleif, Lumine had another chance to call Paimon emergency food or my best chum, when Lumine tells that Paimon is her emergency food, it made Paimon again mad and tells that's not true and she knows it. Dainsleif tells Lumine that it's great to have someone to accompany her on her travels since the two, Lumine and Paimon always go to any places together. When talking about the Abyss Order, Lumine tells that she can defeat those monsters and Paimon then agreed with Lumine saying that they're super duper strong.
In Act 2 of the Bough Keeper: Dainsleif Quest, Lumine and Paimon then went together to the ruins that both, Ganyu and Lan are talking about. When going inside the ruin, they then went into a certain place and sees a treasure hoarder, it turned out that the treasure hoarder was dead. The place then started shaking so Lumine had to flee before anything worst happens, Lumine then encountered an Abyss Herald so Lumine then defeated the Abyss Herald. The Abyss Herald then disappeared, Paimon asked Lumine if she was okay as the Abyss Herald was strong.
Lumine and Paimon then swiftly left the ruins and sees Dainsleif, they then went back to the ruins again, when inside the ruin, the Abyss Herald then appeared again making Lumine having to defeat him, though when trying to defeat the Abyss Herald. The Abyss Herald tried to flee but Dainsleif stopped him, yet got interupted by Aether, Lumine's brother. While talking about Khaenri'ah, Aether then left while Lumine was trying to get to Aether. Leaving Lumine sad, though Paimon confronted Lumine saying that they gotten some really useful information's, Paimon then tells Lumine that their journey is not over yet and telling that if her brother wants her to "reach at the end of her journey", then show him what she's made off. Paimon then lend her hand to Lumine, Paimon now calls Lumine as the Traveler being this the only time Paimon was ever to call her Traveler.
Story Quests[]
In Albedo's Story Quest, when Lumine was finished defeating slimes for Albedo. Albedo mentions that Paimon was watching Lumine for the whole time when she was fighting the slimes.
Quotes[]
- Lumine – “Lisa and Amber feel a bit like sisters.”
- Paimon – “Huh? Why's that?”
- Lumine – “Amber often runs errands for Lisa. Older siblings asking their younger siblings to do things for them so that they can slack off is a rather common practice... But my brother and I are the same age, so we had to decide these things via rock-paper-scissors.”
- Paimon – “Whoa. So, doesn't that make you my younger sister?”
- Lumine – “What do you mean?”
- Paimon – “Well, since Paimon floats, you're the only one who can "run" any errands!”
- Lumine – “...Seriously?”
- — Lumine's Voiceline about Sisters
- Lumine – “Speaking of Fischl, she also claims to be a "visitor from another world"... We're similar in that way. We even bring a pet along with us.”
- Paimon – “Pet? Now, wait just a minute, here...”
- Lumine – “But her raven, Oz... He looks cool, and is polite to boot. More importantly, he can both scout and fight — very useful indeed. Maybe I should make arrangements with Fischl to trade companions once in a while for, say, a week or two at a time. It should be quite interesting.”
- Paimon – “Hey! Doesn't Paimon get a say in this!?”
- — Lumine's Voiceline about Pets
- Paimon – “It's hard to talk about the recent events in Inazuma and not mention the Vision Hunt Decree. But you don't have a Vision, so you don't have to worry about losing one. On the flip side, if you are caught by the Tenryou Commission, Lumine, you also can't surrender your Vision in exchange for your life...”
- Lumine – “I can tell them that you are my Vision.”
- Paimon – “Another reason to have Paimon around... Wait, WHAT!?”
- Lumine – “Don't worry, I wouldn't let them take you, Paimon.”
- Paimon – “That's more like it.”
- Lumine – “We'd just go to jail and suffer punishment together...”
- Paimon – “Uh... W—Well, if that's how it would go down, then maybe you should hand me over to them... Wait a minute! How about we just don't get caught in the first place?”
- — Lumine's Voiceine about the Vision Hunt Decree
- Paimon – “Only the ones who have the will to fight back are allowed into the Resistance! Huh. In that case, Paimon also qualifies as a member.”
- Lumine – “And what exactly are you trying to resist, Paimon?”
- Paimon – “Paimon has been resolutely fighting against the fate of being squished all this time!”
- Lumine – “Then you probably won't get in.”
- Paimon – “Why? Is it because Paimon isn't fighting for the same cause as the Resistance?”
- Lumine – “It's because you're fighting for a lost cause, I'm afraid...”
- Paimon – “*sob* Y—You meanie!”
- — Lumine's Voiceline about the Resistance
- Paimon – “Tanuki are really mysterious creatures.”
- Lumine – “I think they are really cute.”
- Paimon – “Yeah, they're cute... until they start talking.”
- Lumine – “Hmm, I wonder... If you couldn't talk, would you appear to be more mysterious and noble?”
- Paimon – “Are you trying to mock me?”
- Lumine – “*randomly humming innocently*”
- — Lumine's Voiceline about Tanuki
Fanon[]
Lumimon developed lots throughout the Archon Quests, going from a Traveler and her guide to immensely close best friends. Initially, their relationship was mostly loved for comedy, with the running joke of Paimon being emergency food for Lumine. As the story progressed, many cutscenes showing how much they care for each other made fans realize the bond between them. Following the release Archon Quest Chapter II, it became clear how much Lumine needs Paimon, with the latter being all she has since her seperation from Aether. Paimon cheering up Lumine to continue with their journey plays a role in their popularity as well.
Their relationship is much more preferred as a friendship over a femslash ship, due to Paimon's appearance seeming like a young girl, therefore causing controversy if Lumimon is treated romantically. This also includes Paither as well since Aether and Lumine are both siblings, there are lots of fanarts depicting the two. Their relationship is also sometimes seen in a familial way as sisters.
Lumimon fans sometimes focus on the tragic side of their relationship as well. It is speculated one of the two will die throughout their journey, most likely being Lumine for the dangerous situations she constantly gets herself into, and her not being natively from Teyvat. As for Paimon, she could die due to the Abyss Order trying to demotivate Lumine to continue fighting against them. Another reason for their seperation could be Lumine once again traveling from world-to-world with Aether after regaining her powers, leaving Paimon alone.
A popular theory is that Paimon is the Unknown God who trapped the twins in Teyvat, mainly due to the fact that Paimon's appearance is a bit similar, most notably her hair. With that, fans have created scenarios where Paimon willingly betrays Lumine at the end of her journey, leaving the latter in sadness and betrayal.
In fan fictions, Paimon is mostly portrayed as a wingman or a third wheel to Lumine and her respective ship. There are currently over 600+ gen fan fictions that includes the two on Archive of Our Own.
