as per somebody’s (@rainswept’s) request, here is a very emotionally charged, not particularly logically analysed xiao rant:

he deserves so, so much better in his life than he was given, and sometimes better treatment by the fandom, too: we all know the joke of xiao being ‘edgy’ and ‘emo’, but after seeing it so often, it’s… really lost any original humour it had in the first place for me, and even when it’s said as a joke, it really undermines his character depth—and there probably are some people who don’t look past his ‘edgy’, surface-level traits as well as those who just say it in jest. of course, it’s not a crime to make such a joke, but i’m personally tired of seeing his character reduced to an emo teenager. (some of this characterisation probably also comes from his english voice—which is by no means bad, but definitely sounds more ‘edgy’ than the other voiceovers in the game.)

xiao’s just… been through so much. he was enslaved by a cruel god and forced to commit atrocities and massacres and eat dreams and all that, he’s lost almost every person he ever cared about over the course of his life, he suffers constant karmic debt for his years of bloodshed and has to fight just to keep himself sane sometimes, and after all this, when he could have turned spiteful and bitter, he remains selfless and kind (as seen when he practically sacrificed himself in the chasm), distancing himself from other people because he doesn’t want to harm them. he never once asks for gratitude from liyue’s people, never once complains about the immense amount of suffering he’s undergone, when he has every right to. he sees himself as less than a person, even asking the traveller to view him as no more than a weapon, and doesn’t think himself worthy of love or peace or a normal life, which is heartbreaking, because he deserves all of those things so badly.

his idle animation with the little spirit light really encapsulates his character well, i think: he’s ultimately a gentle, curious soul who wants to reach out, but others are driven away from him by his karma, and instead of selfishly pursuing them anyway, he pulls himself away as not to risk hurting them. it speaks to his inherently gentle nature which has been forced into hiding because of all he’s been through, and writing him off as emo really doesn’t allow these aspects of him to show. he’s a complex, well-written character who has been to hell and back, and still remains a kind person despite it all. when you really think about it, it’s just… incredibly sad. i know i light-heartedly talk about him needing hugs, but he really does need some affection— even if it’s not physical, he deserves to know how much better he is than what he considers himself to be.

like, guys, he’s not emo. he’s traumatised.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

au where everything is the same except mabel and dipper have been going to gravity falls every year before the show takes place since like kindergarten.

its a pretty simple premise that derives mostly from my desire to explore interpersonal relationships and the ways a place and people can change from a young child’s point of view. it doesn’t change canon that much either, admittedly, i just wanted to draw childhood friends stuff LOL. ill call it uhhhhhhhh every summer au.

Lmao OMFG Martin. He's now confirmed to have been jealous of

- (possibly lesbian?) Cop for daring to have private conversations with Jon

- literal embodiment of death Jon has only metaphorically met in a coma-dream

- lady he talked to for half an hour, once

Truly he is the "you know other people" meme
