Zhuming Family HCs

I have so many thoughts and headcanons for baby Yingxing, Huaiyan, Ardens Regia, and Baiheng and I can’t wait for myself to be finished writing the first chapter so here’s some headcanons that may or may not appear/get mentioned in the fanfiction I have planned going over Yingxing’s life

Huaiyan personally found Yingxing and took him in, think similar to Cloud Knights against the Borisin readable. While I don’t think it’s about them, I’m using it to inspire how they meet and why Huaiyan takes him in !

Sometimes Huaiyan needs to travel away from the Zhuming for different matters regarding his position and duty and wherever he goes, Yingxing is brought with him. He uses these trips as teaching opportunities whether for the methods and techniques the different ships use or where they stand in regards to their technological advancements in comparison to the Zhuming. This is how Yingxing ended up interested in the Luofu before he settled there.

Ardens Regia has made a point of going around the different workshops once night has fallen and the day has ended on nights when he isn’t too busy (which isn’t the most often but). This is because he had once caught Yingxing, around the time he first arrived on the Zhuming, working WAY past his bedtime and urged the boy to go back to his quarters.

Some nights when he is free to make his rounds of the workshops, Yingxing has already passed out at his work station. In those cases, Ardens Regia will find something to cover him with at least.

Ardens Regia used to be incredibly intimidating to Yingxing, like the boy would flinch and get stiff everytime he came into the room. Huaiyan finds it funny since he himself can’t see Ardens Regia as scary given how long they’ve spent together.

Huaiyan!! With beautiful rust colored hair, perhaps with lighter brown bits mixed in!! And Ardens Regia with long, curly black hair!!

Ardens Regia when he has free time likes to make little crafts, whether via small pieces of metal he welds together using his own flame or even some glassblowing which he only does on the rare nights he has some flexibility. Huaiyan has a few little trinkets from him, mostly older things he had crafted when he was first starting the hobby. Eventually both Yingxing and even Baiheng end up with small things from Ardens Regia.

Baiheng ends up coming to the Zhuming quite a few times over the years after her initial time, and she grows close not only with Yingxing but with Master Huaiyan quite a bit too. She isn’t very close to Ardens Regia as they don’t find themselves talking much, but she feels at ease when he is near rather than shift and scared like she had thought she would be in the presence of the Zhuming’s High Elder

The only possession Yingxing had with him from his home other than the clothes on his back was a small delicate music box from his mother that was a little beaten up and would play a lovely lullaby she used to sing to him and his older sister every night.

The music box doesn’t play as well anymore, but Yingxing can still sing it and remembers the lyrics. Baiheng hears him humming it one day and asks him to teach her the song. Later on the days she stays on the Zhuming from time to time, she would sing him to sleep with that same lullaby.

My headcanon for Yingxing’s family is that he had him, his mom, his father, and then an older sister. With both his mother and sister gone, this is why he becomes so attached to Baiheng, with her in a way filling both of those roles for him.

Both Huaiyan and Ardens Regia keep some form of contact with Yingxing and Baiheng even after the two of them have gone to the Luofu

I have much more headcanons and am thinking up more but this is what I have for now :D!!

Oh additionally, the three of them will be very annoying in-laws, not like omg toxic but very silly and teasing and absolutely annoying.

You may think Huaiyan would be like the teasing in-law, but nope! It’s Ardens Regia. That man giggles, HE GIGGLES, when he communicates with hologram with Yingxing one day and realizes the High Elder of the Luofu has become rather taken with Yingxing, makes a comment of Yingxing seeming to have a talent for charming those of the Vidyadhara. And he very seriously asks that Dan Feng keep an eye on that boy, lest he lose him too soon.

I love this found family I have created in my head, they mean so much to me. Once I finish doing some more writing and actually focusing, it’s all over. I will be so annoying about them trust me
