Hi Rin can I send you an ask before the ebg starts with Corrupted Zhongli as a fatui harbinger. Imagine this corrupted version of your husband maybe even fatui harbinger xiao. Maybe what is going down is you are being punished by Zhongli for escaping. Maybe he thinks removing something you love for a while. Maybe he a punishment he could do for you is make sure you can never see a human face every again as everytime him or Xiao visits you they always have a mask on or maybe he removes your sight by blindfolding you for a whole month.

ough hngghshdksjdk yes please.

yan!zhongli who's big on punishment because he places such an importance on being in control (or at least having an omniscience view of what's going on in your life) and him reinstating rules while demanding you to follow them to the t, as absurd as some of them could be.

yandere!zhongli as a fatui harbinger.... hmmm. i wonder what kind of harbinger he would be if he weren't an archon and somehow went to that route.... would he be as cold as the snezhnayan winters, then? in which case i am. imagining him being stoic enough to lock you in a white room with no entertainment or visitors whatsoever. i imagine in that situation he never really grew out of the 'ruthless' phase as morax, but he would be tempered by the cold snow and the environment of the harbingers instead of the warmth and wisdom he received in liyue with his friends... and since he's an immortal, he would be one of the oldest harbingers out of potentially all of the current ones(?). he's canonically the strongest one in the archon war, so would he be stronger than tsaritsa even in this au? ohoho.

now that's a food for thought 🤔

ps. the blog won't be an active participant in the ebg this time, because i'll be busy with some irl stuff starting tomorrow all the way till early february ー but when i have time you might see me going around sending asks to my friends who are participating!!
