for such a universally loved ship among genshin players there is a criminal lack of angsty xingqiu content

or- in general, a criminal lack of just xingqiu content

and i get it, he’s a happy character; very outgoing and chivalrous and playful and what are those characteristics if not in regard to someone else?

but he’s also extremely reserved about his family life, a bookworm, a novelist, and overall someone who works himself into passing out in order to not let people down

and not only did this boy revive a dead swords style completely on his own, he’s also an extremely hardworker in general

and no one in-game or outside of this game seems to acknowledge that, no one even ask if he’s ok most of the time. Even during the Iradori Festival when he was randomly falling asleep. It’s always:

“Are you able to do this?” or “Will you be able to finish in time?”

Xingqiu is always the one caring for others, bending himself backwards to make them happy and yet no one ever steps forward to do the same

And yes, he’s a prankster; but he never does anything genuinely harmful or irreversible

what im getting at is; Xingqiu desperately needs to be held and told he’s doing a good job

edit: this could also feed into why Xingqiu doesn’t tell his friends that he’s Zhenyu bc his friends pay attention to Zhenyu

And if they know that Zhenyu is also Xingqiu then there’s that massive possibility that they’ll just gloss over his alter ego as well

HOW IS THERE NOT A SINGLE HADESTOWN ZHONGVEN CROSSOVER FIC ON THE ENTIRETY OF AO3

AND ONLY 3 W/ THE PERSEPHONE HADES STORY EVEN????

Y'ALLLLLLL

Morax - Hades, god of riches, money, "King of the Mine", serious, kinda somber aesthetic.

Barbatos - Persephone, (in the play) uses substances to get through time away from the upper world (away from the wind???), a complex relationship with freedom and responsibility

Idk who could be Orpheus and Eurydice, I haven't thought that far through yet 😭😭. But consider:

Our Lady of The Underground with Barbatos?

"I've got the wind right here in a jar, I've got the rain on top of the bar, I've got sunshine on top of the shelf,"

"I got a sight for the sorest eye... when was the last time you saw the sky"

and the dialogue between Hades and Persephone from Way Down Hadestown?

"You're early." "I missed you."

ooooh?

Oh yeah I love this type of relationship like theemm. In my headcanons they'll figured out w situation and will continue talking, nyananannm

is this anything

You know the funniest thing about SK8 the Infinity or whatever? Langa and Reki, simply do not care. They don't give a shit. The whole series, ADAM is making ominous biblical lusty threats towards Langa and Langa is NEVER paying attention, Reki is too busy having a mental crisis/coming of age moment to pay attention to the guy that literally beats the shit out of him, but at no point are they like 'maybe we are being treated in an odd way' or 'maybe we should find out more about Adam' because they don't give a shit.

They never approach Joe and Cherry like 'we need to know the TRUTH about Adam' because they're too busy dapping each other up in an abandoned skate park. Reki gets hit by a car by someone connected to Adam and when Snake goes projecting all his issues he's like 'okay whatever, unrelatable'. Langa brings up 'I wonder why Adam skates' ONE TIME, and they're like 'it's probably because he enjoys it, no other possible reason'. They don't care about his shady past with Cherry and Joe. They don't care that he's a politician. They simply have two priorities and it's each other and skating.

It's so funny to me that they're THIS apathetic to the main antagonist. Himbo's wish they could be this dumb.

Every day I become a little more gay by simply being me. But man does it get tiring being the only homosexual in my household...

The eepy

Progress layers under the cut

someone asked my opinion on venluc and I was like yeah sure but only in this specific way where humans can't really comprehend a god's love and it just feels creepily paternal on top of him being lowkey terrifying and fucking braindead
