"Jingyuan is a terrible parent towards Yanqing"
Where?? By all means hes not perfect i am well aware but hes very much trying
Yanqing didnt get manipulated by a heliobi because he feels like hes not good enough/a disappointment to jingyuan AND breakfree from it by realizing that jingyuan was never disappointed in him and has always believed in him from the start and that jingyuan has hopes that he will one day understand why he trains and perfects his swordsmanship for people to call jingyuan a terrible parent
And even so, jingyuan then proceeds to blame HIMSELF for not doing EVEN BETTER when it comes to teaching yanqing and told him not to worry to much about what had transpired
Yanqings worries about not being good enough and wants to make jingyuan proud is very understandable, its like a kid who just wants to make their parents proud in general, and jingyuans worries about yanqing being in grave dangers is also like a parent worrying over their kid regardless of their age, because thats what children and parents are just like in general, no one was wrong in that situation or in any, its just part of life and thats why finding the middle ground is very important as to not make one side feel belittled, but Jingyuan had never held yanqing too tightly till the point yanqing feels trapped, he just worries for the boy, and yanqing had gotten to decide on his own what he wants to be, it was not forced upon him
Not to mention the many instances we see in game or even events that jingyuan cares for yanqing too
They are very father and son, and i refuse to believe otherwise

Secret Santa gift for my friend @offsidekineticist. Happy Holidays! 💕☃️💕
I hope you know I had to enlist the aid of both Ophenia and Woljif to piece this story together. Oh, that reminds me—(Siavash digs in his vest pocket and produces one silver bracelet, twelve gold pieces and a Chelish noble house signet ring)—with Woljif’s apologies. No questions asked about the ring.
I hope I got the main story beats right enough for art.
The half-orc druid I eventually tracked down in the Aspodell mountains told me Qweck was involved, but even my utmost attempts at diplomacy couldn’t prevent Qweck from slamming the door in my face, so I’m not sure where she fits into the story. There was also apparently a dinosaur? Or a golem made of dinosaurs? Anyway, here it is, as promised.
(He takes a sip of mulled Andoren wine and gives you a wink as he begins.)
🎶 The Ballad of Bellflower Hellfire 🎶
The Devil went down to Cheliax, she was lookin’ for a soul to steal
She was biding her time at the scene of the crime
In a gem that was magically sealed
When Gil came across that necklace, offering vengeance and serving it hot
And the devil grabbed hold of his heart in her claws
And said boy lemme tell you what
I guess you’ll do ‘bout anything to give them slavers their due
And if you vow to serve me now I’ll lend a hand to you
Now you’d make a damn fine Bellflower, boy
All I ask is a soul or two
I’ll bet the slaves you’ll free are worth that fee
And it was true for all he knew
And so the halfling set about with the fury of Hell in his hands
Without a regret started paying his debts
Freed his folk from their iron bands
(Chorus)
Gilly sharpen up your wits and fight that devil hard
Cause Hell’s broke loose in Cheliax and the devil deals the cards
And if you win you get the peace and freedom that you’re owed
But if you lose the devil gets your soul
Twas a rainy night in Brastlewark and Thay sat with his book
And he heard the sound of rustlin’ around and went to have a look
There stood Gil ‘bout to catch a chill
And Thay in his distress, said come on down, you look half drowned
And bundled Gil up good
And thus began the heart-bond ‘tween the halfling and the gnome
In the shadow of Thrune their sweet love bloomed, over cocoa snug at home
(There’s a break with romantic picking, then a shift to an ominous chord)
Til one dark day the news reached Gil that made his heart stop cold
The iron glove of Hell came down and crushed all Gilly’s hope
The Hellknights came, they were taking names, Mister Theo was their prey
Gil shed tears of grief and rage - the Rack had taken Thay
And Gil like Hell’s own vengeance on the wings of dragon black
Rained down on Rivad fury and fire and laid to waste the Rack
The only reclamation that was glorious that day
Was Gil who stormed the citadel and rescued poor dear Thay
(Chorus)
Gilly sharpen up your wits and fight that devil hard
Cause Hell’s broke loose in Cheliax and the devil deals the cards
And if you win you get the peace and freedom that you’re owed
But if you lose the devil gets your soul
Thay in gloom of dungeon hoped for nought but Ph’rasma’s grace
He held his ground, made not a sound as tears fell down his face
The Rack had wrought their cruel work and yet his lips were sealed
All he cared to pray for was an end to his ordeal
When a signifier’s shattered mask was tossed between the bars
And Theo raised his eyes and hope rekindled in his heart
A little short for a Hellknight, Theo said through tears of joy
Though they were trapped within the citadel the righteous would destroy
In a desperate race for freedom the heroes stumbled toward the gates
Paladins and Hellknights laid the citadel to waste
As knights closed round Gil stood his ground o’er Theo’s tortured form
As in his breast the fires of Hell let loose in violent storm
(from this crescendo the tempo slows, becomes soulful)
When Theo felt the heat of Hell and raised his heavy head
And saw that Gil had rescued him but damned himself instead
With failing limbs he lifted up and braved the flames of Dis
To wrestle Gil from the Devil’s grasp and free him… with True Love’s Kiss
(Chorus)
Gilly sharpen up your wits and fight that devil hard
Cause Hell’s broke loose in Cheliax and the devil deals the cards
And if you win you get the peace and freedom that you’re owed
But if you lose the devil gets your soul
