hit me w/ that yexie goodness for the ask game

oh HELL yeah a fun lil treat for max

What made you ship it?

well they have literally like One Interaction, so i was like surely this isn't as big a deal as i've seen ppl on my dash saying. and then ye baiyi called xie wang a GOOD BOY and i short-circuited and woke up with 10 new ao3 bookmarks.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

it just works SO WELL like... they are canon To Me yk bcs i think they fit the themes of word of honor very well and their dynamic would be so insane, which. well, insane men who are insane about each other is another theme of word of honor so.

no but rlly like.. the core concept of i'm awful and want to die, but then i saw you and now i kinda wanna live again, actually. post-canon ye baiyi pulls an angry, hurt, violent twink out of the snow and he bites his way into ye baiyi's lonely, never-got-over-my-dead-first-love, immortality-is-too-long-for-me heart.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

idk in terms of unpopularity, bcs since we get absolute crumbs in the show a lot of characterization for their dynamic comes from fanwork yk, like apart from them admiring each other's work and that EXPRESSION yby gives xw at the feast. im not a daddy kink kind of person so ig that doesn't really do it for me tho i know lots of people love it lol but you can want to fuck an old man without him being daddyTM yk, and i think it's important for there to be a clear distinction between what they have and whatever fucked up awful shit xw and Worst Man Alive had. To Me, at least. for the narrative.

yby can still 1000% be xw's sugar daddy tho except idk how much money he actually has. did he make wkx pay for his food for the lols or because he had no money. i forgor.
