#also. i've been putting too much pressure on myself to write more serious and elaborate posts on jingliu

Extremely Serious headcanon incoming (sarcastic) (but this is also genuinely how they are to me)

i like to think in the jingliu-luocha friendship, jingliu is the real silly menace on a leash. but on the other end of said leash there is no one holding it.

she gives off an air of cold elegance and mystery, but luocha knows this woman. her fury, strength, and conviction to her goals are genuine, but so is her playfulness. mara can strike at any time, so why not have some fun?

someone will die. of fun! but both phrases came out of the same person's mouth.

though perhaps her idea of fun is a bit...niche. a touch on the violent side. it would put luocha a tad on "edge", IF he was a normal person by any stretch.

if only yanqing didn't have the exact same idea of fun. at least they both agree that her sense of humor is on the derivative side (i mean i love it) (edit: “convoluted” instead of "derivative" idk what my original intent was) and wholly unexpected initially.

they theorized her inappropriate timing and bizarre dark humor may have stemmed from her current circumstances, but jing yuan is quick to correct them that she's always been like this - it's just been a bit amplified.

"mara works in mysterious ways", jingliu responds to the commentary on her personality.
