Maybe they could have given Yingxing the craftmaster clothes in the Ichor of Two Dragons short
#Yes I am still thinking of little other than craftsman Yingxing#And yes I am giving a walk around the Artisanship Commission again#Taking screenshots of what Master Gongshu has to say this time#I had interacted with him before but I didn't recall his frustration about the long-life species' lethargy when it comes to learning#due to the promised long time‚ and how it makes them lose their drive#And his admiration for shortlife species in that context#He talks about how the mastery of craftsmanship in particular requires long time#and how that's the reason why most of not everyone in the Artisanship Commission is Xianzhou native as opposed to foxian or vidyadhara#In this context‚ Yingxing becomes even more resilient#For real every new interaction I get in the Xianzhou makes me love him more‚well beyond the point at which I thought I had reached the peak#Master Gongshu also talked about the species invested in the path of Erudition that nonetheless live but a dozen of years or so#How one time one individual of such species came to study on the Xianzhou Luofu#and Master Gongshu dropped everything else to devote his time to them#It made me think of the Trailblaze Mission at the end of 1.3‚ how when saying goodbye to him Master Gongshu doesn't seem very hopeful#about seeing us again because tshrs his experience with his shortlife apprentices‚ and how it seems to cause him grief and weight him down#Of course that farewell also made me think of Yingxing back then#Anyway... I love that despite his he acknowledges the almost need for a long life to become a craftmaster Gongshu isn't at all judgmental#about shortlife species nor does he look down on them. I think it shows in his character a lot#and I think it is coherent in the context of his frustrations with his students#I also love that Fu Xuan makes similar comments about shortlife species. I adore that in the middle of arguably most people looking down#on short life species many people‚ many of which closely related to erudite positions‚ don't look down on them#In the case of Master Gongshu it also brings to mind Master Huaiyan I think. And I think it's all on purpose!#I adore how this game settles the information without clearly but without shoving it on your face#Master Gongshu also talks about how for them the beauty and intricacy of what they create is as much a need as its usefulness#and I loved that and it also made me think of Yingxing#I wondered how he was able to make a delicate jade flask if he was mainly a blacksmith#and I just brushed off the idea as typical fiction thing‚ but it is coherent in the context of the worldbuilding and ajdksbjd#It's not the first time this game does that and I love when it surprises me this way#(like with Jingliu having her movements be too light and then discovering her sword doesn't weight at all)#Master Gongshu specialises in civilian auromatons‚ which we know for Mr. Xiao that's a dying branch. And it also made me think of Yingxing
