wishlist — Dynamics I'd like to write [Jing Yuan ed.]

hey ho! Welcome to the first of probably a series of these dynamics posts. As it says in the title, I'm gonna be going over some dynamics I like and briefly touch on why I like them. I do plan on writing at least one for each of my main muses, and I hope that this can help make it easier to reach out to establish dynamics, or to generate ideas for muses I haven't listed here or different perspectives on the ones I've shared.

Of course, OCs and AUs are always welcome! But since those are more specific to each respective mun, I can't list them here. :') (that being said, please approach me!!)

Yingxing/Blade:

I adore all flavors of jingren/jingxing (or however you wanna call it). In the HCQ era, requited. Unrequited. Mutual pining. Madly in love. A platonic rivalry, brothers in arms. I want Jing Yuan still loving Blade, I want Jing Yuan absolutely furious with Blade, I love the awkward mournful tender angle as well as the embittered enemies one. Though I am partial to a romantic angle, I absolutely THRIVE with that love being lost on one or both sides, or with a purely platonic angle, too! No matter what, it's complicated. The messier the better. Between Blade and Jing Yuan, any genuine and mutual romance between them will be difficult for me to write without extensive development in character, because as it stands in canon Blade just wants to cease to exist, and my Jing Yuan just wants nothing more than to put Yingxing's memory to rest for good. They are a tragedy to me of the HIGHEST caliber (not that fluffier dynamics can't happen! They'll just need a LOT of development esp because I struggle with the idea of Blade finding a reason to "live" again).

Dan Feng/Dan Heng:

I adore all flavors of jingfeng/jingheng too, just like with jingren/jingxing! Requited, unrequited, platonic, etc etc. All flavors are good. When it comes to Dan Heng specifically, I especially love that delicate time after their reunion in which they learn to navigate their relationship and what they mean to one another. Whether this is platonic, familial ( @etherealguard <3) , or romantic, I enjoy it a lot. I do think Jing Yuan is more resistant to romantic feelings towards Dan Heng in this time period, as he doesn't want to conflate any residual love he has for Dan Feng with his desire to reconnect with Dan Heng and reassure Dan Heng of his good will. Regardless, it's a messy and complicated relationship at first for sure.

Luocha:

The messier the be-- Can you tell I like complicated relationships ALFDSGHKJ. When it comes to Jing Yuan's dynamic with Luocha, I find their game of chess to be the most fascinating thing. Enemies to lovers is PEAK I've talked and written about them enough ALFSJH YALL HAVE SEEN WHAT I'VE WRITTEN WITH STARRY!!! I will never get tired of jingluo but I like it the most when it is full of trials and tribulations for poor Jing Yuan. A game of cat and mouse. Barely veiled threats while waltzing. Do you get the vibe they are DANGEROUS

Caelus/Stelle:

When it comes to the Trailblazer, what I find the most fascinating to explore is the comparison of power between them and Jing Yuan. I think there's a lot of potential to be had with respect to that, with Stellaron (or Aeon reincarnation in some interps 👀) vs Emanator, whether the Trailblazer can sense that Jing Yuan is far, far more than he makes himself out to be and vice versa! That sense of there being something more under the surface and knowing it is so fun to me. I do prefer a more platonic dynamic for them just due to Jing Yuan being so dad-coded, but nothing is off the table with sufficient development!

Welt:

Two old men! Similarly to the Trailblazer, I love the idea of a dance of knowing that each is far more powerful than they're letting on. Though I imagine that Welt is polite enough to not try to pry, to me his power is nothing short of intriguing to Jing Yuan, who would absolutely try to find out more about him. Platonic or romantic, I think there's a lot of good potential between them.

Himeko:

I blame Koi. Himeko and Jing Yuan are far more similar than I initially thought, they're two sides of the same coin, and I think there's a wonderful amount of potential here between the two of them as beings far more powerful than they are willing to let on, and as two people of genius intellect. To me, they have the potential for a very strong platonic bond, or potentially even a romantic one (it says a lot to me that the first woman that my Jing Yuan has ever had the potential to have romantic feelings for is Himeko ADLKSFHJ) depending on how things develop. Overall, I would LOVE to explore the Jing Yuan and Himeko dynamic more (winks at Koi)

Yukong:

Yukong and Jing Yuan have a lot of similarities to me! A lot of shared, very deep grief that has irrevocably changed the both of them. Even if they don't talk about it, I think this is something that they can mutually acknowledge, and that acknowledgement is something they can find solace in with each other. I've mentioned it in a prior wishlist post but I crave a profound, platonic intimacy between Yukong and Jing Yuan. He loves her, truly and deeply, and he knows her life is coming to an end soon.

Fu Xuan:

I don't have a Fu Xuan to develop with! That needs to change!!! Fu Xuan havers pspspspspss???? The dynamic between Fu Xuan and Jing Yuan is crucial and holds so much potential. While I do prefer them as platonic, jingfu fans I get it I really do the flavor is so good. Regardless of the nature of the relationship, though, there's no doubt that it is fundamentally based on a very deep sense of trust, even with the banter and bickering. It's clear that they very much care about each other regardless of everything.

Yanqing:

Give me all the Yanqings I don't even need to say anything here. Sweet Yanqings, spicy kitten Yanqings, doesn't matter, that is his SON and I will always love writing a dynamic with any son boi. Aside from Mimi, taking in Yanqing and raising him was one of the like. only things Jing Yuan actually did for himself? My Jing Yuan always,, wanted a family. And he never got that chance, not until he found Yanqing. He loves Yanqing with everything he has to offer.

Kafka:

I blame A. The tension, the danger, the wariness yet willingness to collaborate all the same!! Ough. Ough. They're just such a fascinating dynamic, especially in a mara-struck!Jing Yuan context. I'd love to do things outside of that AU as well, though!!

Lan:

I've talked extensively about Jing Yuan's fealty towards Lan and his complicated feelings on the Hunt before. It's something I'd love to develop more. The relationship between an Aeon and their Emanator has a lot of potential for very deep complexity and it's with no uncertainty that I say that Jing Yuan is intrinsically tied to the Hunt for a plethora of reasons. Navigating that power dynamic, the relationship between god and vessel, all of that is very very spicy to me.

Yaoshi:

Talked a lot about this too! I want to write Jing Yuan's acknowledgement of his intrinsic ties to Yaoshi, I want to write his defiance of Yaoshi all the same, I want the tension and the hostility I WANT IT ALL!!!! READ MY AEON ANALYSIS FOR JING YUAN FOR FURTHER DETAILS I JUST WANNA WRITE MESSY DANGEROUS GOD-MORTAL DYNAMICS (potential for Nous and Nanook too gimme gimme)

#//wishing star; (WISHLIST)#//the dozing general; (JING YUAN)#high key i wanna babble about the himeko and jing yuan dynamic that koi and i have been talking abt on main bc its SUBLIME

@oneireth said : [ META ] + his vidyadhara form ( powers, thoughts on his appearance, whatever ) for dh :) ♢ — send [ META ] + a word / phrase / person / etc

personally , he prefers his human form , but that doesn’t mean he dislikes his vidyadhara appearance. his true being , well , there is a detachment from the nameless , which is where he feels at home and himself in. of course , the astral crew members have said otherwise , and accept him for who he is , scales and all , but dan heng still has this inward perception regarding his origin.

focusing on his vidyadhara self , we can analyse these sections with a breakdown.

powers : even if he is not an emanator , he is “ the closest being to the permanence ”. having been cut from dan feng’s powers , in canon it can be inferred that those powers were split between him and bailu — where the archivist received powers of combat whilst the dragon lady received healing abilities. that being said , he hasn’t undergone proper training of harnessing this passed down residual power , and with the absence of technique , the immensity of his powers are likely unmet in terms of their true potential. if it wasn't explicit enough , this means he is absolutely weaker than dan feng. fun note : dan feng was a smidge stronger than jing yuan but where dan heng is , the general is definitely higher. he might sit where welt is in terms of power across the characters in hsr.

appearance : it cannot be denied that the imbibitor lunae ensemble is extravagant. his robes alone are exquisite in their finery , and their intricate patterns weave a combination of symbols and tales. comparing dan feng’s garb to dan heng’s , there are plenty of differences with some being subtle whilst the others are noticeable.

i looked to this article which assessed an assortment of aspects regarding dan heng’s imbibtor lunae form , and i think it’s quite spot on. hoyo is notorious for sprinkling significant notes via inconspicuous details. the most obvious would be the clouds and lotus that are motifs for nobility and water which is attributed to wisdom , intelligence and quintessentially yin. neither can the equipment attached to his clothing that resembles armour be missed — indicative of the combat dan feng participated in , as both guard and a member of the high — cloud quintet.

green , in not only chinese culture , but in general is representative of vitality and life and i would argue emphasises his link to protecting the ambrosial arbour. speaking of , his horns are noticeably branch — like , and longer than dan feng’s , which elucidates to his role and perhaps , signifies growth. the growth of himself , however , which dan feng permitted in ichor ( although this was dan heng’s perception of what the preceptors had painted so we cannot use this reliably ). i also think the waist accessory of the oracle bone script is a hint at his position as the archivist but it could potentially be a sign that visualises how he balances between bearing the burdens of dan feng against carrying out the remainder of his life as a nameless — the bad luck vs the good luck.

his tail ( the one i know you were waiting on ) , is something i have always debated on as to whether it is a fully manifested appendage that he is capable of summoning or not , or is simply fluid in appearance staying true to his watery roots. the element he is bound to. when bailu pointed out the stark absence of it , and dan heng became rather withdrawn , i think it does spell out he can bring it out on command , but elects not to. otherwise , it is a proper and tangible limb.

i think ultimately , dan heng does accept and acknowledge the debt he has inherited , as well as the responsibility and role the high elder brings , but he cannot deny that it feels unlike him. in both regalia and in the inward sense the form brings.

it has its benefits , no doubt , especially on the battlefield when faced with powerful adversaries , but if he can fend off the enemy in his human build and with cloud — piercer , then he will opt for this choice instead.

#* ✦ 𝐈𝐈. ❮ asks ❯ ⸻ ❝#* ✦ 𝐈𝐕. ❮ isms ❯ ⸻ ❝#* ✦ 𝐕𝐈. ❮ muses ❯ ⸻ ❝ 「 dan heng 」#* ✦ oneireth #i probably missed what you wanted me to address #because this turned into an analysis instead of a view #he is such a complex little dragon i hold him in my palms #it's insane to think that he finally stopped running towards the stars and looked back to confront this past he was forced into #i think he always knew it was inevitable but trying to evade it was more preferable than facing it #the article also said the lotus is in the mud which is indicative of dan heng being stuck with dan feng's crime and i just #exploded #anyways gives you pats with his tail #long post

on the topic of ships and slowburns, I also want to note some things for my canon muses that I've found out through writing them, especially Jing Yuan:

Jing Yuan in the present tends to be notably disinterested in being romantically or s.exually involved with most people, bar a few exceptions: he has residual feelings for Yingxing and Dan Feng (which will likely apply to Blade and (at least in the time period of the 1.2 update) Dan Heng respectively if the mun is okay with that — otherwise they are just friends) and has a weird arrangement with @/celestial-narwhal's Luocha.

This is not me saying it is impossible to ship with him. I'm also not saying I won't be the first to approach you about a ship for him! I am saying it is a process that requires in character progression and out of character communication. As much as he has a tendency to act playful and tease other muses, he will likely not harbor any strong, genuine interest in them without sufficient work. If I approach you about a ship it is me setting up the basis for the conversation to lead to that slowburn: again, I don't like shipping right off the bat.

With Stelle it's even harder to establish a ship, because as is stated in her bio she is demisexual and solidly on the ace spectrum. Again, this is not saying there's an impossibility, but your muse will need to be friends with her first. She's made uncomfortable even by her own silly puppy crushes, so flirting directed at her will not be well received without a strong enough friendship.

Gepard is, despite being my least active muse ( i want to write him more :( ), funnily enough my easiest muse to ship with. He crushes easily and is a disaster bisexual but it'll still take a little time because he's very stubborn about his duty and also being proper. Puts himself into the denial pit a lot HAJDAKFNAKFN but!! it's not as much of a challenge to pull him out of it unless you're Sampo Koski or some other criminal LMAO

anyway this is a followup to the previous post to just clarify on some things and my muses' stances! I am multiship and willing to ship so long as there is chemistry and the dynamic is appropriate, but I like my buildups more than anything else.

#//immortal; (OOC)#psa #pls pls pls also like. dont push ships at me w/o giving me at least a little heads up abt ur muses' stances on mine #even if its just a 'xyz thinks abc is pretty'#i am absolutely not going to say that will make me interested in a ship either #esp if we havent interacted much #briefly mentioning ships =/= establishing them #and even if we do agree to ship i will likely not appreciate sappy or s.uggestive content right away #it is 1:30 am and im exhausted but cant sleep so idk if this makes sense
