#Chongyun the exorcist

[xelilow04]

It's not as extravagant as an evening dress, but I wanted to draw him matching with Shenhe's Lantern Rite outfit. Tried to retain some of his original elements while making it look formal? I don't know how that turned out, but it was definitely fun brainstorming and coloring =]

Exorcist Family (submitted 3 times):

The game doesn’t really do anything with them but I am submitting them as an honorable mention. It’s implied that Chongyun is their clan’s appointed liaison for when they’re trying to contact her and I think that’s cute. Xiaoyi’s favorite (source: he’s only one who she’s said more than five words to).

all-powerful homicidal woman raised by a bird is 10/10. all-powerful homicidal woman w a nephew who looks up to her is 1000/10.

HELLO????!?!?!!!!?

[welcometoteyvat]

in my hc Chongyun's parents are kinda mild. He has the "only child with many many cousins and extended family members" vibe and I think shenhe's release also supports that—exorcist clan with random branch families people didn't know about etc.

I also think his parents honestly wouldn't be super toxic about the yang energy thing idk. not sure how yang imbalance works in traditional xianxia besides that you can become an immortal by cultivating enough of it. They probably found out pretty early on and like just decided they'll see how it goes and support him through it.

important questions to consider when coming up w this hc:

does chongyun consider this a disability? (could see both ways—it certainly sounds like it fundamentally affects his life enough, but he could also view it as just an inconvenience/a bad challenge that he must overcome in order to achieve his goals)

do his parents? (also probably not lol) do they consider it a blessing tho?? not sure yet

how much guidance did they give him in managing his condition when he was growing up? (imo: a bunch of thick medicine books on managing the body, a map of the qi meridians in the human body and ways to increase yin, but they didn't treat it like something he was at fault for )

how much of chongyun's belief in "Exorcism uses thaumaturgy and martial arts to conquer evil. There are other means to the same end, but they are not the true way" is from his clan and how much is from himself—being someone who is diligent and seems to value work

my thoughts aren't quite fleshed out but I think they probably treated him like any normal kid wrt training and martial practice, with the sentiment that "your yang energy doesn't give you an excuse to slack off in sparring or training". could've led to his view of anything besides "real exorcism" as illegitimate

How do his parents or clan feel about his exorcism technique and the fact that he hasn't seen a spirit?????????????????? depending on their attitude a lot of mental complexes about this could be created

also i feel like theyre rather traditional, and combined with cy's ig honest? straightforward? idk uprighteousness i suppose, i dont think he's imagined a way of doing things outside of the standard method of talismans + spirit wards that his clan uses until xingqiu suggested his way. xingqiu's entire choice of secretly becoming a wuxia hero instead of devoting himself to the family business is also a p big contrast to cy

WHAT FLAVOR IS YOUR SOUL?

salt

ah little kraken, bold are you. restless sailor, dauntless fighter, lower your sword, let me see your shield. ah, of course, they are but the same object. oh wave-tossed ruffian, lend me some of your mettle would you? you have been struck by the sharpest of spears yet you still stand here proudly. but off your guard, elsewhere of the battlefield, you will find your spirit can parch others. your words are but weapons crafted from your soul. little lion, sheathe your claws, or the ones you love the most will suffer. you do not have to be strong all the time love, there's nothing wrong with being soft. vulnerability is not weakness, and if it were, what's wrong with that? strength is not always your greatest tool, your heart is good. put down excalibur, and use your words. you'll find they will carry you much farther. not everything in life is a battle.

Got chongyun randomly off standard and decided to make this team that I will probably not even use just bc I think their interactions would be funny 🥰
