Jing Yuan: If a stranger talks to you, just ask, "Are you a friend of my dad?"

Little Yanqing: Why?

Jing Yuan, through tears: Because Dad doesn't have any friends anymore. If they say "Yes," then they are a suspicious person.

[noimnotdeadyet]

that moment when you're really upset so you spend basically the whole day making smth themed around your favorite character to cheer up

i don't even know why i made this i've never made a planner before and i don't even use one O-o

also shout out to the Abundanceqing server for giving me feedback <3 i know if nobody's got me my fellow Yanqing fans got me

my friend has now encouraged me to make a Lilia Vanrouge one so if thats my next post don't be surprised... o7

Yanyear July 2025 Week 3:

Modern AU

"Aww... Little kitties!"

(finished this so fast on the last day cuz painting Yanqing > therapy :D

which is funny cuz i finished this while watching MistahFeet's newly released Mizuki Only video

Yanyear... :3)

[noimnotdeadyet]

that moment when you paint a character so much & so frequently you give into the demons and premix colors for em

this is how i know Yanqing's taken over my brain: i have never had to do this for amy other favorite o7

[noimnotdeadyet]

Yanyear July 2025 Week 2:

Idol AU

"Thousands of Swords Return to Heart!"

(ngl i was so scared i wouldnt get this done cuz i had to completely redraw the hand o.o so glad to have finished it tho! and early too >:3

also SO HAPPY WITH THE FATE COLLAB OUT! fun fact: out of all the times Yanqing was in my false war, he not only always made it into the late gams but only lost 3 times: 2 of those were to me and the last was to Jingliu >:3 bro had so many winning streaks i was shocked and then realized he was only in 2 wars :(

their wishes... Yanqing & Jing Yuan's wishes... theyre everything to me <3)

[noimnotdeadyet]

this reminds me of smth i saw that made me think about Yanqing & Jing Yuan

it was specifically i think about a man talking about how he accidentally trained his cat to force him to eat when he was skipping meals by refusing to eat themself until he ate and basically guilted him into taking care of himself

...

if it ever gets revealed they have habits that revolve around each other i will not be surprised o7

I know Jing Yuan does his best to treat Yanqing professionally when they’re at work and have faith in him as a knight, like when Yanqing went missing after fighting Jingliu and Jing Yuan when asked said “it is not my place to impede him for fear of his well-being” and “I have confidence in him”, but I just KNOW that if Yanqing actually died this dude would immediately fall to Mara. Losing the High Cloud Quintet did a number on him and I fully believe that he lived in a depressive haze driven by duty until he found Yanqing and Yanqing is his reason for living right now. Losing that boy will be his last straw. There is so so so much unremarked on by the narrative tension around the fact that he has to send his TEENAGE STUDENT (son) onto the battlefield and I think Yanqing dying on a mission he sent him on is his greatest fear. Yukong, fellow charioteer and parent who tried to stop her daughter from becoming a pilot, politely chooses not to comment on this.

oml i shoukd get to it... eventually

(eventually cuz i totally always finish all of my projects ans get to everything i come up with </3)

(speaking of here a sneak peak :3)

OML YES HOYO YOU HAVE GIVEN YOURSELD THE PRIME OPPORTUNITY TO DO SUOER INTERESTING AND AMAZINF THINGS WITH THIS CHARACTER PLS FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING PURE AND HOLY DO SMTH WITH IT AND DO OUD BOI JUSTICE

sneak peek of a tentative timeline for my erudition yanqing fic!! ughh ive only got like 3 chapters of the mainfic done and i need to post the prequel before i can post the mainfic & for this one im trying to get the whole fic written before starting to post, instead of like swmtbb where i write as i post. UGHH I HATE THIS KID

in case you're wondering why swmtbb updates so slow... its bc of 1. writers block and 2. this fuckign thing but i prommy its worth it i love this fic

[noimnotdeadyet]

HELPASGOISAHG THE FREAK FRIENDSHIP IS A GO

literally 2 besties that can and will ramble about their interests to each other except the interests at hand are games and swords

sword game: the ultimate collab o7

MWAHAHA INDEED ONE DAY WE'LL YANQINGIFY EVERYTHING

nothing is safe

... i should retry painting Yanqing in everyone's outfits <:3

CACKLING NOTHING IS SAFE. AND IF THEY FEEL SAFE, REMIND THEM THAT IM OUT THERE!

ah yes the ship of justice... maybe you predicted the future and Yanqing will actually start on the Yuque to fix the fucking Xianzhou from there/hj

half joking cuz jesus christ its not impossible HOYO PLSPLSPLSPLSPLS :place_of_worship:

YESSSSS

SILVERQING FRIENDSHIP AGENDA IS AGENDAING >:D

lil buddies run into each other... Yanqing sees how good Silver Wolf is and asks for "training tips" to "better improve his leadership skills" and Silver Wolf is a lil weirded out but decides bet and then besties :3

*insert peak "EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MY FAVORITE CHARACTER IF I TRY HARD ENOUGH"*

the way i cackled reading "hes pink" and then my eyes wandered to my cup next to me full of my pink drink (not the starbucks kind, the drink colored pink kind; also the same cup i used to have a chibi bird Yanqing taped to before the tape wore off and i turned it into a diy keychain that hangs from my purse)

(coincidence? i think not)

THE LIL HORRRNNSSS

imagine christmas time they're the reindeer :) everyone is staring like wtf but Yanqing has learned to accept his fate, Bailu is having the time of her life, and Dan Heng is checking to make sure the fairy lights (HAH *fairy* lights) in their horns don't get tangled like the responsible older brother he is

the Taoran thing has to be foreshadowing... we're def going back into Xianzhou politics they LITERALLY MADE A SET UP AND EVERYTHING WITH FUCKING LUOCHA'S COFFIN AND HIS PLAN WITH JINGLIU AND SHIT THEY LITERALLY ARE BIULDING TO SMTH

AND YANQING WILL DEFINITELY BE IMPORTANT AGAIN

[noimnotdeadyet]

pretty sure the other event we had Yanqing in was the Aetherium Wars where he was participating for "training"

(i mentioned this with someone else but im like 90% sure Jing Yuan used that as an excuse to get him to play a game :3)

i need more Sunday & Yanqing content istg I WANT THEM TO INTERACT IN CANON PLS HOYO

i put them together in team comps I CAN AND WILL PUT THEM TOGETHER IN CANON TOO HAVE THEM TALK ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS NAD REALIZE SOME SHIT THEN HUG AND YIPPEE SOME MORE WHOLESOMENESS IN THEIR LIVES THEY FUCKING NEED IT

(Sunday can be awkward cousin-esque and Yanqing 100% ok with that as long as he has nothing against Yanqing yapping about swords)

oh wait hold up lemme get the image hhhhhh

here i couldn't find an exact image so i opened a yt video of the Yanqing v Yunli fight that Feixiao interrupts and screenshotted the moment

you can see here in the top left is where the pink wisp is most clear, and if you look closely the other swords have it too

(took another screen shot this is a few seconds before the first one)

this one proves the other swords have it too, since as the sword generates theres the pink wisp again

when ppl saw the pink shine in Yanqing's cutscene vs Jingliu in his companion quest, the theory was dismissed since it could have been the light reflecting Jingliu's ice. but the theory got a bit more concrete once this cutscene came out since this time theres no other source of it than Yanqing's ice itself. its definitely him, and its definitely intentional since this was animated with his flying ice swords

Yanqing i love you but there is so much about you that has to be dissected istg

i love analyzing him but it also makes me so much more desperate for Hoyo to explain shit like HELLO? HOYO? YANQING BETTER BE REAL FUCKING IMPORTANT IN THE FUTURE

(fun fact: his phone case literally depicts a leaf turning into a bird .w.)

YES HE DESERVES TO BE DRESSED UP AND YES BAILU DESERVES TO BE INVITED WHENEVER POSSIBLE THEY ARE A TRIO AND MUST BOND AND EVERYONE SHOULD BOND AND BE HEPPY >w<

if i give Faeqing horns... they can be the horned trio...

[noimnotdeadyet]

me slowly grinning at our audience

thats hell youre walking into/ref

(welcome to any and all to our YANQINGYANQINGYANQING chain :3)

YES WE NEED MOOORREEEE im convincing myself its short to make room for FUTURE CONTENT HES GOTTA BE A REOCCURING CHAR RIGHT? RIGHT??

LUOCHA IS IMPORTANT

SUSHANG IS REOCCURING

Yanqing was important for the Wardance... will the 3 be built uo next Xianzhou quest? o.o

I FUCJING HOPE SO DAMMIT HOYOOOOO

YDEEEE analysises are so fun and Yanqing is SO DAMN MYSTERIOUS in a more subtle way than chars other chars cuz like, yeah hes the youngest Cloud Knight Lieutenant and the General's Retainer, classic child soldier prodigy whos guardian is a higher ranking official

but theres also the finer details from interacting with him... the rain text story about how his "earliest" memory was training. in humans, earliest memories are usually from about 2-4. this implies he was being trained as a toddler, unless there are exceptions about his memory that would change the timeline like if he had amnesia like March and thus his earliest memory comes in later in life but if so why?

OH SOEAKING KF MARCH THE 6 PHASED ICE THEORY ISTG THE WARDANCE CUTSCENE BASICALLY CONFIRMING THERE IS SMTH ODD ABOUT YANQING'S ICE?

oh not to mention i was once talking to my friend about how Yanqing's character stories dont give much info about his background and he was like rlly? thats weird, most stories usually give more details about their past like Boothill's childhood and his daughter and losing his planet and becoming a cyborg that hates the IPC. but Yanqing's... well, its mostly about his achievements and his aspirations, his accomplishments and his hopes for the future than his past. even checked other Xianzhou chars like Jing Yuan, Fu Xuan, Sushang to check but, yeah we get some events of their past. Yanqing? a training session and then how there were questions about him being the General's apprentice. hes a lot less obviously mysterious since he acts pretty normal compared to the fishy and suspicious like Sampo and Kafka, and his past is never refered to in story like Rappa or Feixiao. hes kinda... blank.

(also they expect me to not question why his parents arent confirmed dead? mystery fate in the annals? they have a Divination Commission, but nobody found anything? very, very sus.)

i can go on and on bc THATS HOW MANY CRUMBS HOYO GAVE US ON HIM. THATS HOW MANY OPEN ENDS HE HAS, AINT NO WAU HOYO CAN JUST IGNKRE EM RIGHT?

Jing Yuan... take care of your kid

if you dont, someone will do it for you and then probably smack you for it

(me. and everyone else. i will gather the Yanqing Protection Squad for it)

i imagine Trailblazer & March definitely like dressing everyone up, fuck yeah. reminds me of a Yanli fic i read once where Yanqing lost a bet so Yunli & March got to dress him up and then Yunli had her "OH NO HES HOT" moment cuz wait why does he actually look good? wtf?? they were supposed to make him ugly???

hehehe power of cuteness >:)

why take turns when they can all cuddle together? <:3 CUDDLE PILE

fuck it mandatory Astral Express cuddle parties where everyone crashes in the biggest room and they have a sleepover that ends in everyone huddled together happy the end NO ONE CAN PROVE ME WRONG

FRFR

idm tho this reblog chain ngl is now the highlight of my day :3 i get so excited every time i check my tumblr notes and see you responded i am this overjoyed to ramble about Yanqing with someone o7

(also the way i saw the notif someone reblogged one point of this insane chain is hilarious to me OSHDIWHF)

amen i hope we get all the Flagships someday they cant just drop the ball and never pick it up Yanqing is literally one of several mystery characters in this game we cant just never expand on or explain him >-<

(i literally once compared the LENGTH OF HIS CHARACTER STORIES TO OTHER CHARACTERS cuz i remember finding it odd that his didnt need any scrolling to read from my laptop screen the way others did so i double checked. i found his and some other mystery chars like Luocha & Kafka have shorter stories than fucking HOOK, BAILU, GEPARD, HIMEKO so its def not cuz he was a Standard 5 star or a lack of content)

honestly "Aeons, Emanators, And Pathstriders: An Essay" by clenastia is a very good AO3 analysis on why they think Yanqing is an Enamantor based on a lot of details, with the comment section usually helping point out even more stuff (i did... i included my results googling the symbolism of his fucking flute) you do neex to be logged into an AO3 acc to read and it spoils a bit from their story "A Rose By Any Other Name" which is a Yanqing & Argenti story (BASED) but i def reccommend both theyre great reads :3

ngl the kill the marshal thing gave me Wings of Fire flashbacks... i should draw that someday .o.

OML YANQINGS FIRST INSTINCT BEING TO GO HOME TO JING YUAN AND HIM GOING "im leaving and taking the kids"

Express truly is the place of found family. oml imagine when they join they both change from their military uniforms to their Express Pass exclusive icon outfits :)

i need the hcq & Yanqing to share a room... emotionally... i need them all cuddling in bed together all wholesome and fluffy...

Yanqing truly is like the main character of those swordsman novels

(i had to do a quick google search mid rant yes theres a reddit analysis on how he resembles wuxia visual novel protagonists and their growth)

who needs problems when youve got YANQING

he will find a way amen o7 doesnt know when or how but he WILL solve the problem!!

no wonder you made Eruditionqing hes perfect for the Genius Society our boi out here will not rest until he gets what he wants whether its answers or the CORRECTING OF A SOCIETY

(... my brain played the jingle when i typed society. iykyk)

HAHAHAHAKDNS THE DUALITY OF MAN WE LOVE EM DW FU XUAN YOU CAN BE GENERAL O7

HCQ together... with a child :3

you and me both

including this reblog chain lol imagine some random person comes across this and out of curiosity unleashes hell upon themself with WALLS AND WALLS OF TEXT

ehes in just 2 Yanqing fans being a lil silly :3

i know the Wardance was a Yanqing arc but pls hoyo... we need more... YALL LEFT TOO MANY CRUMBS WE NEED TO SEE HOW THE REST OF HIS STORY PLAYS OUT THERES STILL LIKE, A BUNCH OTHER FLAGSHIPS TO GO THRU PLS PLS PLS?

literally today... when i did the hsr survey... at the end i was like "ok my #1 request as a player is let us delete old data for storage... BUT ALSO STANDARD CHARS BUFFS PLS?? ESPECIALLY YANQING???"

he needs it so bad every time a new support comes out i turn and give the look of "... but are they good for Yanqing?"

me when i saw that new Harmony char like yeah sure they might be good... but if she doesnt buff my son then :pensive:

oh god Yanqing just snapping as soon as its over and disappearing from the public eye... so glad hed at least have the Express to support him wait oml Jing Yuan's childhood dream was to be a Galaxy Ranger o.o imagine they eventually move on together as Rangers... or, then again Baiheng wanted to be an Express member i think

oml either way... family recuperates THEN goes off on silly adventures >-<

Yanqing unlocking this power cuz he doesnt wanna kill his dad .0. oh imagine he drags his groggy ass to the Express cuz thats the safest place away from the Xianzhou he can think of and they help him figure out what happened and the whole time Yanqing is just clinging to Jing Yuan cuz he just almost LOST HIS DAD

the possibilities

like its probably not a definite cure to mara but kinda like, a way to constantly delay it

but they also would have to be careful since there may be a limit, but they cant quite test it yet since no one wants to risk Yanqing going Marastruck too

definitely gotta stay low profile for a bit. Trailblazer might dm some ppl like Fu Xuan & Feixiao about the news tho

oh god wait Blade & Jingliu... oml he might actually be able to fix them WORHEKFJRJ

THE POWER OF YANQING KNOWS NO BOUNDS >:)
