just finished all the endings in the new qin yi event, and jesus were they all rollercoasters. some of these endings weren't all too tragic, although the bad endings certainly did not have a happy ending in mind for the player, as they would either go under qin yi's control or take a parasite with him and remain with him in life and death.

but what stuck out to me the most was how weirdly obsessed qin yi was in keeping the player by his side at all costs, to the point where he literally trapped us in a cave and would send the blue butterfly every day just to have us under his control so that we could remain by his side like we did before.

now, you could argue that he just simply wanted to live a life where he would not have to worry about some poisonous sect breathing down his neck and keeping up some facade about who he truly is. hell, the event even states that the reason why he might have taken in chi xiaoyu, nikki, and us as disciples were so he could feel somewhat normal and complacent. and manipulating those around him with parasites was the only plausible way, in his mind, that he could achieve this goal. although this is still a pretty fucked up way to feel what he wanted to feel.

however, the game goes out of its way to show that qin yi seemed to favor the player much more than our other two companions, to the point where he ran away with us and started his own medicinal business, albeit with the player constantly scolding him for being too lazy and snobby about it. he even tells the player that what they had said in one of the classes they had spoken up in, which he eavesdropped on, made him realize that he could indeed live a different life. they made such an impact on his very being that he was willing to start a new life with us.

this whole event pandered to my qin yi loving ass and i am loving every single moment of it.

When the music is off, who am I really left with?

Hey I actually watermarked this one

[qinyiliker]

have a qin yi doodle i did a little while back and a tiny one

[akolnoix]

qin yi probably needs like at least 10 years of active work on his mental health before he would even consider kissing someone out of genuine emotion, so this drawing is utterly self-indulgent fluff

[ivefallenfor2andicantgetup]

Story - summarized

Luming is on a mission to fulfill a wish in Yue Prefecture City. One small problem: the wish belongs to a goldfish, and he has no idea where to start.

He gets a fish lantern to store the Wish Lantern in while he searches. The marketplace is filled with hot, sweet cakes and passionate storytellers, and he runs into you, the player. The two of you decide to fulfill the wish together.

The Wish Lantern guides him to the nearby pond where the fish used to live. Luming finds out that someone had gathered fish from the pond earlier this morning to sell at the market.

Finally, they find the right vendor... but someone just bought the last goldfish. Luming hurries to catch up with the family. The little girl with the goldfish sees the bright lantern that Luming has. She offers her fish for the lantern.

He gladly accepts. As the family walks away, the lantern inside dissolves into stardust. The wish is almost complete. You and Luming return to the pond and release the goldfish into the water. It reunites with its old friend, a piece of alga floating on the surface.

The both of you return to the festival, determined to enjoy the snacks and the entertainment. One such play you pass is Qin Yi's play about sacrificing a goldfish to be accepted by others. He spots you two in the crowd, and he swears he saw a goldfish.

Connections

-We met Luming during the first Chinese New Year event, Wishes on the Cloud. It was the first time he was able to leave the Lake of Wishes, and we learn more about his birth, existence, and job in his Reflection for Cloud Benediction.

-Goldfish are usually a good omen, but in Qin Yi's memories for Mind Maze 3, he ended up killing his beloved pet fish in order to convince the Qin family to take him in as their "long-lost son."

-The story of the goldfish reuniting with the pond alga parallels the story of Lingwu the Tiger and Yuntan the Flower: two friends promise to meet each other again later, and encounter obstacles along the way.

Fun Facts

-"Yue" means moon, and it's pronounced "yuAY" (all one syllable).

-Alga is the singular of "algae," and it encompasses all aquatic, photosynthetic organisms, from plankton to kelp. Algae are neither plants nor animals, but instead protists.
