#but the position of yanfei's antlers... not so much

So. Yanfei’s antlers and shedding season. You’ve might have had it as a passing thought, you might not have.
It probably is a massive shock to see her without her iconic antlers to the Liyue locals not used to it, but then she could really just pay a craftsman to make a headband with her old shed antlers and just wear and hide it under her hat or something.
But that’s not the point I’m making.
See, have you seen a deer with velvet covering its antlers?

Well, now you have.
Thing is, at some point, the deer need to shed all that fuzzy stuff to expose their antlers in all of their, well, horny glory I guess. While the process isn’t painful to them, it gets kinda bloody. The velvet is the one that supplies the nutrients to help them antlers grow, so expect a lotta blood vessels in there.
So yeah. Imagine being a client walking in her office to see that.
Or maybe you’re Yelan dropping by in the dead of night to check on her, and you almost have a heart attack at the sight of Yanfei looking like she gored someone to death with her antlers and won.
For anyone who wants to see what a deer shedding velvet looks like (TW: for Gore and Blood):
