Read this scene on my train ride and had to throw this sketch together.

When they are training, fx would always remove layers when it gets hot and mq yells at him for having no decorum (he wants to kiss him so badly)

I think Xie Lian may be a very loving, devoted partner but also a little shit that's still lowkey bitter about the "wanna get married?" thing Hua Cheng pulled on him so he decides he will in fact settle the score

So one day as he's hanging out around paradise manor, he very casually goes

"San Lang I don't think we should be lovers anymore"

And of course Hua Cheng is ready to die a fourth time immediately, he's almost crying, shaking, screaming, sliding against the wall before Xie Lian smiles all brightly at him and goes "I think we should be husbands instead."

And Hua Cheng dissolves into butterflies to go scream at Yin Yu about it

yin yu appreciation hours 🌙

someone said yin yu’s whole trait was whining about not wanting to be a god and since i’d defend him with my dying breath here i go ahem

‼️ spoilers for printed book 7 ‼️

if he couldn’t be good enough to be the best kind of god, he wanted to be the best kind of person, the best kind of shixiong. he wanted to be happy for quan yizhen and encourage him, but he couldn’t do that either, and he felt his shortcomings again.

“if i wasn’t destined to be perfect, i at least wanted to be perfectly kind. but… i couldn’t do that.”

this isn’t yin yu “whining” about not being able to be a god. it’s him accepting that it wasn’t in his fate to be a god and to be as powerful and as talented as quan yizhen. it’s him acknowledging that he should’ve contented himself with his lot in life. but it’s hard to content yourself with sitting amongst clouds when you were reaching for the stars.

yet the thing that’s most important, and what he never realized, was that he did do his best, and he wasn’t a terrible person.

in the end, he was offered godhood on a silver platter. if his personality truly had been simply whining about how much he desired godhood, he would’ve taken it. but he didn’t, he knew this wasn’t how he wanted things to end, he knew he really hadn’t earned it.

in the end, he sacrificed himself for someone else. someone he claimed to resent and despise, someone who was technically the cause of his downfall. he did it because he was, despite everything, good. he wasn’t a bad person.

so yeah, a lot of what makes yin yu who he is is the fact that he works hard and wants to be worthy. i think that maybe part of why he avoided quan yizhen is because he didn’t want to know that qyz had forgiven him. because he didn’t think he deserved that forgiveness.

he doesn’t just want things. he wants to know he deserved them as well.

I CANT. REMEMBER A LOT OF WHAT I PUT CUZ I ACCIDENTALY DELETED MY OG POST BUT IM PRAYING TO GOD THE VIBE IS THE SAME. i yapped a lot but the moral of this whole yap session is that i love yin yu and i believe he was a beautifully written and genuinely complex character, despite the fact that we don’t see a lot of him.
