I’ll be cooking a Dan Feng fanfic. I’ll post it on my Ao3 once it’s done 😭💜. Won’t be too long. I want to try to explore more into Dan Feng’s sense of identity and self, especially considering that his looks and his very self come from others— literally😊

It won’t have any ships, but some parts can be interpreted as xinyue/yingfeng/fengxing/whatever dynamic you like for Yingxing x Dan Feng— I just want to keep that interpretation open for anyone reading ^•^ It’ll feature the HCQ, of course, and some nameless preceptors

I’ll also post it on here once I’m done :3

I know the most popular theory about the flame reaver is that it’s Phainon/Phainon from a previous cycle, so it’s really interesting that flame reaver’s finisher line mentions drowning the sun, and Phainon has a lot of sun and light references within his design and character 🤔

Theory: Dan Feng is very eepy

With the anniversary MV having just released, this feels like a good time to talk about how Dan Feng has his eyes closed or obscured in

every

(except the animated short, which I'll get to)

I think this related back to the saying, "eyes are the windows to the soul". In other words, Hoyo is trying to tell us one (or both) of two things

One: Dan Feng is relatively unknown to the world. There's something important we don't know about him yet. He isn't able, or doesn't feel able, to reveal himself.

Two: Some kind of ignorance, intentional or not, is being alluded to. Something he ignored on purpose, or something critical he doesn't know.

Then there's the one time Dan Feng is depicted with his eyes open, in the animated short. Almost the entirety of which takes place in Dan Heng's head. It's for this reason that I think the first theory is the most likely; whatever Dan Feng is hiding, whether that be a secret or simply that person that he is, it does exist, in a place where no one else can see it.

I very much get the “Dan Heng’s IL form should have looked less human to further justify him being afraid to reveal it” but also consider: Dan Heng being very beautiful makes it all the more depressing that he isn’t comfortable showing people what he truly is since it suggests that, not only is there nothing wrong with him, he’s genuinely a good person and he can’t see that’s the case because of how much he’s been taught to hate that person.

Also need the help of loreheads… Was this explained? How does Yanqing know what Dan Feng look like? He’s obviously saying Dan Heng looks familiar bc of Dan Feng, but… how does he know what they look like?

My guesses are:

- Jing Yuan may have had photos of the HCQ and Yanqing saw them at one point

- Yanqing presumably went/goes to school and learned about it there (hello class today we are learning about the sedition)

- Since he is the lieutenant of the cloud knights, he would know the faces of all the fugitives and criminals of the Xianzhou (probably most likely?)

I think the 3rd option is most likely. The first one does seem plausible, but I can’t see Jing Yuan showing Yanqing those pictures (Yanqing also didn’t recognize Jingliu at first, so🤷🏻‍♀️). Second one also is debatable because the Xianzhou (or the Luofu, at least) doesn’t seem to talk about certain topics about the history of the alliance (yukong stating that mentioning jingliu’s name is forbidden. I’m sure the Xianzhou has a ban on certain subjects as well🤔)

But I don’t know😭😭 Am I stupid? Is there an actual answer to this? Or what’s the most likely explanation 🤔

Ignore all the screenshots I took, I was freaking out 😅😅😅
