for such a universally loved ship among genshin players there is a criminal lack of angsty xingqiu content
or- in general, a criminal lack of just xingqiu content
and i get it, he’s a happy character; very outgoing and chivalrous and playful and what are those characteristics if not in regard to someone else?
but he’s also extremely reserved about his family life, a bookworm, a novelist, and overall someone who works himself into passing out in order to not let people down
and not only did this boy revive a dead swords style completely on his own, he’s also an extremely hardworker in general
and no one in-game or outside of this game seems to acknowledge that, no one even ask if he’s ok most of the time. Even during the Iradori Festival when he was randomly falling asleep. It’s always:
“Are you able to do this?” or “Will you be able to finish in time?”
Xingqiu is always the one caring for others, bending himself backwards to make them happy and yet no one ever steps forward to do the same
And yes, he’s a prankster; but he never does anything genuinely harmful or irreversible
what im getting at is; Xingqiu desperately needs to be held and told he’s doing a good job
edit: this could also feed into why Xingqiu doesn’t tell his friends that he’s Zhenyu bc his friends pay attention to Zhenyu
And if they know that Zhenyu is also Xingqiu then there’s that massive possibility that they’ll just gloss over his alter ego as well

Scribbled this after doing the first part of the poetry event yesterday; the second the event chatter ended there was a lightning storm lol

i would love to know what all the Xingqiu/Chongyun shippers who were thinking that there would be Chongyun/Gaming possibilities in game are now feeling about Chongyun not having a Gaming voiceline and Xingqiu waxing poetic and gushing over him being like a badass hero straight from legends.
like it's such an unintentional result of average fandom interpretations ending up not being in game, but it seems so very funny to me like "oh no, right idea wrong one."
