Happy Lantern Rite!
Help!!!!
Zhongli just said that an old friend has two fully grown daughters in the lantern rite event! I was so worried that hoyo was going to act as if they weren't family and only had a master disciple relationship!
When Gaming said "halt who goes there" I was ready to fight some hilichruls, I was not ready to see Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper dressed as treasure hunters
I actually can’t stand them, why are they like this.
Man oh man I wonder who’s the couple of the group… (/silly)
oh………………………………………
Chongyun referencing concepts he’s seen within light novels in correlation to a subject in a conversation… just like Xingqiu……..
Oh they’re picking up each other’s habits…….. OH..
Footed used for the screenshots is from have :]
Lantern Rite is over…………. Chongqiu are gone now……………………………
// Lantern Rite day 1 — (about Chongqiu & the Feiyun family)
The footage I used for the screenshots are from here :)
First off; just Chongyun’s face and how he looks at Xingqiu the entire time she’s explaining the circumstances with her great-grandfather…….
And him being cautious about whether or not to relay what’s going on..
He’s so concerned and worried for how she’s feeling….. ☹️☹️☹️☹️
I love these type of moments a lot because it reminds you that they REALLY do care about each other a lot, they just love each other so much 🥲🥲 (I say this because sometimes it feels like some people forget that.. /lh)
It just makes me really happy to see, their love means a lot to me <33
And Chongyun saying he’s going with Xingqiu to check up on the room again, I just know it’s actually because he wants to be by Xingqiu’s side and to be there for her, he’s very clearly worryed about her and how she’s doing..
Even if she isn’t close with her great-grandfather, he wants to be there for her…
And I’m just thinking about the idea of them after they say goodbye to the Traveller & Paimon, and as they’re walking to her house; Chongyun sees Xingqiu looking down and appearing all gloomy, he asks again if she really is okay, and she says “Yes.” again, but Chongyun still doesn’t think so…
And he asks if she wants to hold his hand, and she gives a soft but pained smile and excepts it, and when she takes his hand she never lets go after that..
Also I want to talk about how I interpret Xingqiu’s relationship with her great-grandfather with my hcs for her family:
Xingqiu emphasising she’s “never been close with her great-grandfather” and how “he wasn’t speaking much by the time she was born”, implying the non-closeness derives from her just not interacting with him at all pretty much. And I find that very interesting when it comes to interpreting it and compared to her other relationships in the family…
I like to think this non-closeness for her great-grandfather doesn’t come from the same place as like her mother, brother or father (negative), and it is more neutral because compared to the other three; he never gave her a hard time growing up or in present day, because she never really got to interact with him in a proper way.
And because of that neutralness towards him rather than negative feelings, she is feeling a sense of fear for him - even if she isn’t close to him at all, and is trying to assure everyone that she’s okay, even though it’s clear that it is affecting her in someway. Because since it’s not deep rooted in negativity, it’s actually getting to her.
Also I kind of like to think that in the little times she did interact with him, he just lets her do what she wants because he’s old asf and could care less on what she does (even if her family says otherwise) - so she has respect for him on that front.
And this is pretty much everything I have to say rn, of course this is all only going by day 1, but I’m interested to see how this is going to progress :3
Edit: we didn’t get much more..
