#but luoyang as a kid definitely looked like the most adorable girl in my school and had the personality of my little sister if only she

[tkc-info]

Luoyang and Yitian Siblings headcanons

Let's see if I can get some serotonin from this

Um, @wagner-fell ?

As Luoyang is the younger sibling, she calls Yitian 'Gege', which basically means older brother in Mandarin

Literally she hasn't said his actual name once, but if she did, Yitian would be really fucking confused. Yk the meme of the guy with the question marks? Yeah that would be his face

Yitian calls her 'Lulo' in return for no reason other than he wants to have a nickname for his sister

They're very close for two teenagers tbh

Morgan and Lucas are hella proud of that ngl

Luoyang is a sKatEr, right? So Yitian takes her to cool skate parks around Mirror a few times a month and then they have boba tea because he likes hanging out with his sister

However, he will use his taking her to skate parks as leverage to get her to hack/pirate stuff for him whenever he needs her to

When they were kids, they used to latch onto (?) Lucas every time he turned on his playstation to get him to let them play (yes this comes from irl childhood memories of mine)

Anyways, they've played a lot of videogames together: the four uncharteds, every tomb raider, the god of wars (!!!!), etc

I need to talk about God of War

Basically, Luoyang has a pseudo-crush on Kratos. Cue photo:

Don't ask me why, she just gets this from Lucas because that man is straight but he'd definitely marry Kratos if he could. Kratos is cool

Kratos is not Yitian's type, but he really does enjoy making fun of his sister

Yrah also 'makes fun' of Luoyang, but they extrapolate her crush so much they end up saying Luoyang is into necrophilia

Anyways

Luoyang is around Yitian's height (which is pretty fucking tall) and a tomboy, so more often than not she'll creep into Yitian's room at random and steal his T-shirts of hoodies

Yitian hates it because he never finds out until he one day opens his closet and realises the only clothes he has left to wear are ones he grew out of at 10 and he has a date with Esfandiyar!!!

Honestly that's the only time Yitian will get angry at Luoyang. He'll chase her down the whole of Gangkou, shouting 'Lulo come here right now' while Luoyang is laughing hysterically and Lucas (or Morgan if she's not working) is just done with everything

Yitian never steals Luoyang's clothes because he's nice like that and thinks that, for some reason, the clothes he owns are better than his sister's even if they shop in the same places and literally have the same taste in clothes

Actually Luoyang's clothes might be a tad worn down because she's ~una bruta~

But Yitian has definitely claimed a random hoodie he found in her closet while looking for the clothes she stole was his, even if it definitely wasn't

Moving on, Yitian is the secret partner in crime of Luoyang every time she gets in trouble with her friends (Aaliyah, Odhran and her boyfriend Shun)

Mind you: she gets in trouble very often and in the weirdest ways ever

Yitian's got so used to Luoyang asking very odd, specific favours of him he no longer ask why he needs to hide a goat in his closet or why he needs to materialise to Aboveground Honolulu in a Santa Claus outfit asap even if it's August

Yitian spoils his sister a lot and generally doesn't mind her doing anything, but Luoyang isn't allowed into the kitchen

Nope

That's a line Yitian will not cross

The kitchen at Gangkou is a men-only territory. Morgan is horrible at cooking, Luoyang inherited her mother's horribleness in the kitchen, and so Lucas and Yitian took an executive decision never to allow them there in case they decided to take up the pans and give everyone food poisoning

Luoyang's bf isn't allowed into the kitchen either because he's a worse cook than Morgan and Luoyang combined

Next?

When Luoyang first had her period it was pretty bad because the cramps were horrible and she was kinda young and Yitian and her were alone at Gangkou and Yitian (who's never come close to female puberty thanks to coming out soon and puberty blockers and stuff) Panicked™

Listen, the sensible thing would've been calling his mother or any of the women in his life (which, taking into account most of Lucas's closest friends are women married to other women, and that all his childhood friends but for Marcus are afab + Oliver is a doctor, would have been easy) but this dude randomly sprints to the kitchen to make Luoyang a warm cup of tea because 'tHat'S wHaT aUnT cAl gIveS mE wHeN I hAvE a StOmacHaChe'

(Cal really thinks the solution to every physical ailment is a good cup of tea or otherwise having Hunter mask her pain away, which infuriates Dr. Oliver)

Miraculously, the tea works and Luoyang gets better and since that moment on Yitian makes tea for her every time she says she's on her period

Key word: says. Luoyang asks for a cup of tea virtually thrice a week (mostly while they're playing videogames so she can get the control) but Yitian prepares one for her anyways because, again, he likes to be a caring brother

Also, Luoyang helped Yitian get his dog

Cue explanation:

Yitian came out when Luoyang was around 4, so she didn't really process stuff beyond 'mummy says jiejie is a boy and I need to start calling him gege'. During this earlier period, Morgan and Lucas had a lot of meetings (ig) with Yitian's therapist (Oliver's cousin and Morgan's ex!) to see how to tackle having a trans son in the best way --basically like how a pediatrician will tell parents how to deal with their children after something unusual has happened during an examination? Idk. Luoyang never really understood much about this, but she did get how Morgan and Lucas sometimes talking about how some things 'helped with his dysphoria'

I'm obviously not an expert, but this morning a saw a tiktok of a guy saying he can explain gender dysphoria to cis people, but not how drinking diet coke instead of normal coke helps with his dysphoria because it makes him feel more masculine, so I suppose gender dysphoria can be a bit arbitrary? So, basically, whenever Yitian said something that would indicate that something would make him feel less dysphoric, Morgan and Lucas would buy/make that something (eg toys)

Mind you, Luoyang, as she didn't understand a thing, tried to use the 'it helps with my dysphoria' card to get haoson to buy her toys once. Only that she was in front of Marco, who kneeled down to get to her 4y/o eye-level and asked her whether she was a girl or a boy, and she very proudly exclaimed 'a girl!', so her plan didn't really work out still Lucas bought her the toys she wanted

However, Yitian got his dog using the 'helps with my dysphoria' card. Long story short: he was ten, wanted a dog, Luoyang wanted one as well, they teamed up to create a power point presentation (with a lot of special effects as befits a 10y/o and an 8y/o) expressing why adopting a puppy would be good, and had the undefeatable argument of It Will Make Gege Feel Like A Man™

Yitian had to work very hard to hide his smile. He failed, but the presentation was good yk?

In any case, the dysphoria thing was a recurring tactic between them from then on until Yitian became a teenager, got more in touch with his identity as a trans guy, and began struggling a bit more with dysphoria. He told Luoyang those jokes made him uncomfortable now and he wanted to leave them in the past, and that was it

Btw I'm not saying transsexuality is an illness, there literally are researches that proof otherwise and I have read one. I just don't know how to get the 'yitian was a little boy and as such lacked the ability to carry out the more technical aspects of his social transition and possible future medical transition, if there are any + Morgan and Lucas were given tips like how parents are sometimes given tips on how to raise their children correctly by specialists' point across lol. The only 'illness/off thing' in him pediatricians told Morgan and Lucas about was an abnormal growth rate because look at his father, and Lucas got paranoic about him having some issues (pretty much like what lalima thought about him, and what my parents thought of me lol)
