Shoutout to me being a dumbass and not realizing the wiki has Eigong's logs...ah yes I am smart.

Anyway, idk if this is anything, but I view Eigong having a rhyzomatic stabilizer(?) thing™ on her head with Yi's on his chest as a lil' symbolic. I can't articulate it fully rn because I'm tired, but it reads as a physical manifestation of Eigong's descent into madness and obsession with immortality. Like...she probably implanted those roots herself, judging by how they're not there in her younger image. She views Fusang as a means to an end (esp with infecting it with Tianhuo...the mutated part she retains in her last stage is right on her Fusang roots).

Meanwhile, Yi was 'chosen.' He was saved by Fusang and has the stabilizer implemented right over his heart to aide the roots (as I see it). Imho, a manifestation of his heart being in the right place...?

#nine sols #eigong #mew rambles #genuinely dunno if this is anything but I had to put it out #I also think it's fascinating that eigong wasn't necessarily obsessed with immortality from the start #it was a personal dream of hers sure #but a personal dream isn't the same as obsession #and she was also put in a place where she felt like she couldn't fail #I wonder if fusang anticipated where eigong was going to end up #like not literally predicting the events of the game #but maybe that this attempt to alter the essence of life would backfire drastically #although of course this would hinge on the idea that eigong did get severely injured early in life which lead to her making the stabilizer #a theory I really enjoy personally #I think it was that eigong artist who I saw breach the idea and its been in my head ever since #possessable? yeah that acct #v cool #anyway don't mind these rambles in tags I didn't realize I'd have more to say #will I compile all my thoughts. maybe someday
