A Discrepancy in Character

TW; violent ideation, all the bad things that comes with exploring Tang Yun

Wanted to write some LiXuan but also wanted to do a Tang Yun character study so I mixed em both to make this 🫂 apologies in advance for the philosophical jargon slightly present, I study it so I should at least try to put it to use lol

Anyway enjoy A Discrepancy in Character – in which Li Ling unknowingly spills his guts to Tang Yun about his new boyfriend and the former is incredibly, bitterly jealous. Do keep in mind this is written from Tang Yun's warped perspective so it isn't fully (if at all) reflective of the actual characters and their relationships 💔

Tang Yun was about ten years old when he realized he was a bad person.

Tang Yun understood this concept, however he also believed in objective good and bad. Perhaps it was because he was raised in a household that valued a vision of perfection and pushed their children to be their very best, but he knew that by any and all personal and societally accepted definitions of good and bad, he was bad.

Some people may argue there's no such thing, that a person's goodness and badness is purely subjective and morality is a man made concept. Just because something is 'bad' to one person does not mean it isn't 'good', good and bad are arbitrary terms that only complicate human behavior. If anything, decision making should be dependent on whether or not a certain ideology or thought process is beneficial to human progress and well being, not whether or not it fits somebody's flimsy definition of 'morally good'.

The day it sunk in was when his brother got confessed to by a girl in their class, this was shortly before their esper transformations so at this point they were just regular kids. They looked dangerously alike to the untrained eye, but to the kids they spent most days of the week with, telling them apart was no impressive feat. Yun had the ashy pale skin, Xuan had the soft tan. Yun was always frowning, Xuan was always smiling. Yun had a neatly done braid whilst Xuan's was always loose from playing around. Yun radiated misery and gloom whilst Xuan radiated fun and adventure.

When the girl confessed, Tang Yun was hidden behind a tree, and watched with wide eyes as his brother raised his hand and shook his head, saying a soft, "I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way."

He couldn't for the life of him remember who the girl was, but he did remember her being very pretty, and a few of the boys he knew liked her. Tang Yun himself wasn't too interested in her, and yet he still felt an odd sense of anger that it was Tang Xuan that got the confession, not him.

It had always been like that, with Tang Xuan being leagues ahead of his brother no matter how many years went by. Of course it was Tang Xuan who got to be patroned by Sun Wukong, whilst Tang Yun got the stupid macaque, of course it was Tang Xuan who became the esper union's poster boy whilst he was forgotten, of course Tang Xuan's tranformation made him so bright and noticeable whilst Tang Yun's made him look even more grim.

This dynamic continued even after Tang Yun betrayed the Esper Union and joined the Shadow Decree, everyone was so concerned about how his side switching would affect poor little Tang Xuan the angel, not what would have made Tang Yun think to leave anyway. It was always about him, he remembered that girl Tiye always going on about being the center of the universe, but in reality it was Tang Xuan. Everything was always all about him to the point where even he couldn't give less of a fuck how his unstable brother was doing, when Yun was at his lowest and most desperate his brother too busy playing superhero with the rest of the 'big three' to care, it was perhaps a good thing he left the Union before he had a chance to do something drastic to himself or even Xuan.

Damn it all. He hated him.

Which probably explained why he was gnawing at his palm in teeming rage as the man beside him began to talk about him.

He didn't know how it happened, some man with long unruly hair accidently hit him when he slumped down, he said sorry and blamed it on him 'overthinking' something. Tang Yun didn't care, he wanted to go but his anxiety was preventing him from speaking up, the man then began to talk more, about how he recently confessed his feelings to a co-worker and the two were now going steady. He talked about how respected and well loved the co-worker was and how he didn't feel deserving of this relationship. Again, Tang Yun didn't care but the man just wouldn't shut up and kept rambling. He kept his hood up, Hyde had always told Decree members to at least try and stay hidden when out and about, though it seemed Yun was the only member who cared to follow that rule.

It wasn't until the man began rambling about how 'cute' his new partner was that it became relevant to him. He mentioned his long red hair that reminded him of the red lotus flowers his mother had loved, how he was so small and yet so filled with life and energy, how his amber eyes and freckled face made his heart beat fast and his mouth run dry. He went on about how friendly and eager to help people he was, and how everyone loved him for it.

Tang Yun felt his breath hitch, he couldn't be talking about Xuan, could he? Surely not, there were many freckled redheads out there, didn't mean it was...

"Sometimes when he hang out, we get approached by these young kids and they're always like 'Tang Xuan! Tang Xuan!', it's so weird because usually I get so jealous when I'm out with people and that happens, but with him I don't mind... I don't mind anything when it's him," the man said, his hooded seatmate watching in fascination as the fingers of his four surrounding arms twiddled in excitement, "he deserves it, y'know? Other espers – they get all their hype because they're just cool and have powers, but Tang Xuan? He tries, he's probably the most hardworking person I know, how he found interest in my slacky self is a mystery."

Tang Yun supressed a scoff, Tang Xuan was about as hardworking as a snail. He remembered getting better grades than him growing up, but his parents didn't care that their perfect son was behind his classes and their failed one was doing the best because Tang Xuan is just that fucking lovable. It was the same in the Union, Tang Yun would put his all and no one would bat an eye, Tang Xuan would put in bare minimum and everyone would kiss the ground he walked on.

It made him so very angry.

"He makes me wanna be... better, he's the only person to make me feel nervous in his presence. It's weird, even with my old master – who I respected more than a majority of the adults in my life – didn't make me stutter over my words and trip into walls and do all the stupid things that people do when they're... in love, yeah, I'm pretty sure I love him," the man then chuckled, "love... we only just started dating, but I really think it's love."

If so, then Tang Xuan didn't deserve it. That selfish, uncaring, self centered, status obsessed swine didn't deserve any of this. He didn't deserve to have someone love him so deeply that he spills his whole heart to a stranger who hasn't even said a word to him. Tang Xuan, who has never cared about anyone but himself, was now in a relationship with someone who dearly loved him... what did Tang Yun have? The Xie twins to occasionally hang out with? The memories of a time when him and his brother cared for one another?

It simply wasn't fair, why was it always Tang Xuan who got everything? Why did he have the adoration? The fans? The abilities? The looks? The lover? The Tang Xuan that didn't even ask him how he was doing when he was on the the verge of ending it all, the Tang Xuan who stood there as his teachers and parents berated him and did nothing, the Tang Xuan who branded him a villain simply for reaching his limit... he was the one who got all the glory, he was the one who got all the love.

"I remember when I told him I liked him he was like, 'but Li Ling, you have so many admirers! So many women who adore you! Why me?' can you believe it? He really thought he wasn't 'worthy' of me! In reality I don't deserve him... no one does really."

The man – Li Ling, the name sounded familiar but Tang Yun wasn't sure they had ever interacted – was right, but not in the way he meant it. No one deserved to be around someone as unfeeling as Tang Xuan, someone who valued love as little as he did.

It truly made him want to rip the man's throat out and feed it to wild dogs, Tang Yun was the one who valued love of all sorts, he wanted to fall in love and give love and be surrounded by love but no one seemed to fucking want him. It was as if the world was ripping love of all sorts away from him for committing the ultimate crime of existing. He tried, he tried so hard and he always received nothing in return, but Tang Xuan got it all... he always got it all.

Tang Xuan probably didn't love Li Ling the way Li Ling loved him. As he peered from under his hoodie, he looked as the fuchsia eyed esper looked to the ground with softened eyes and soft peach tint to his cheeks. Li Ling was so very much in love, though Tang Xuan could never be capable of loving him like that. Surely not the Tang Xuan who left a girl in tears after she confessed, surely not the Tang Xuan who ignored him ad he was on his knees, practically begging for help, for any sort of closure.

Why did that brother of his get it all?

Li Ling eventually brought out his phone, "speaking of Tang Xuan, he just messaged me – ah, he wants me to come bowling with him, Lewis and Tiye. Might as well, don't got anythin' else to do... oh, my bad for overloadin' you stranger, got carried away... but thanks for listening...?"

Tang Yun paused, Li Ling didn't know him, and his name wasn't spectacular, "Yun." was all he said.

"Alright, Yun! Say, you're friends are real lucky to have such a good listener like you, maybe we can talk again some time, see ya!" And with that, Li Ling got up and floated away.

Tang Yun sat there, thinking over what he had just said, a good listener? No one had ever told him he was a good listener, if anything they always complained that he didn't talk enough. Li Ling though... Li Ling was considerate enough to find the good in his lack of talking, referring to him as a good listener.

Tang Yun eventually got up, holding his hood tightly with a quiet growl. Li Ling was too good for Tang Xuan, and maybe when he eventually kills his brother, the man will realize he did him a favor.

Dislyte guys when their fem S/O says that she wants a baby

Basically, already did a part one here with Narmer, Arcana, Pritzker, Drew and Freddy.

Tang Xuan

He’s very big on family. After what happened with his twin, Yun, he is dreaming of having a family again.

Li Ling

He would be nervous! He grew up overly sheltered and spoiled, as he was the youngest in his family. He learns to let the child grow and experience life, while also slightly spoiling them!

Ollie

He would be so happy! As protective as he is with his cactus, Frosty, he would be even more protective over his own child.

Luo Yan

Would be happy but nervous. He’s very strict, especially with those he believes has a lot of potential. His kid would grow up having Yan as his greatest supporter. Would definitely teach his kid calligraphy.

What’s your opinion on Yamato x Tang Xuan?

I’ve never seen this ship before!!! Though it seems interesting. I’ll have to look at it! I am going to assume you also want headcanons so here you go!

Yamato x Tang Xuan

I feel like this is the classic enemies to lover trope

They probably despised each other at first, but once they got to know each other, or properly talked for the first time, they probably got along

They may not agree on everything, but they’ll at least hear each other out

Xuan is probably the more affectionate one, though Yamato has his moments

Yamato might not get along with Xian’s friends, I don’t think Ling and Lewis would be really big fans of him either-

Xuan would probably convince him to be a better person, but Yamato was probably fairly hesitant

maybe tang twins, falken, jacob, li ling and long mian with a s/o that is a dancer/ invites them to dance?? if they're too many feel free to take some out 💕 tyvm(✿◠‿◠)

Oajskdnf no because i spend all my free time watching Odorite it's finally paying off???? (Odorite are the dancer version of Utaite, whilst Utaite may do vocal covers of vocaloid songs for example Odorite do dance covers. It's a fun tag to explore (踊ってみた/ 'Odomitta') for anyone who likes funky dances.

Espers with a dancer s/o

Tang xuan

Gahh your excited hyperactive lil baby loves you smmmmm

Jk i don't really like giving anyone diagnostics let alone fictional characters just like i don't like assigning sexualities and such but like either way hyper or nah this guy cannot stay still for long k

He's already lowkey a dancer himself i feel it.

I mean he just HAS the fit the vibe.... i can totally imagine he's not shy about dancing in front of others. Even if he's bad, he dances. 100%. In that lounge area at the top if the tower where Disc hangs out?? Oh yeah. If he's vibing he'l get up and move.

He's always tapping his foot to music at the least

His style of dancing is def hip hop ish. Break dancing, for sure....

He also can do cute ish stuff. He's definitely always on beat, either way. He's always grinning whilst dancing, he CANNOT have a bad time while dancing.

He's most agile with his feet obviously. Have you seen his art??

So silly and fun to dance with. He's hyping you up and dancing with you, always. He has a hard time holding himself back from jumping in if he's not allowed :(

Best dance partner on this list if not.......

Like full on whistling with his fingers and clapping, you're so talented!! Show him sometimes yeah???!

12/10 plz dance w me Xuannie

Tang yun

Surprisingly good...

He's flexible so good opportunities. More tham that he's super expressive in his movements- he definitely excels at like creepy ish songs.

He's good at acting insane what can i say (cuz it might not be acting....)

He's also just super fashionable~ he looks so cute in anything you put him in. He can also pass as a girl if you try.

But he's also not a huge fan of dancing itself and won't agree to join you that often.

He also thinks watching you is kinda boring cuz it takes a while to get a correct shot sometimes if you film and ugh....

Give him some pudding he'l wait patiently for you to finish whilst swinging his legs lazily~ (kinda like a certain relative of his..)

6/10 it's better than most

Jacob

Sleepy boy.... sleepy sleepy lil man..... moving too tiring :C

He's actually really good at it, you'l never know til you force him.

He's really really cute at super cute soft dances. He likes the comfy clothes one wears whilst dancing, since they're usually oversized to show movement/motion. (What my dancer friend told me anyway 🤷‍♀️)

You'l be jealous by the end.

Listen Jacob is smart asf he's just unmotivated, so he's hiding a few skills you don't expect. Being a natural at this is one of them.

He doesn't even really understand or can explain how he does it

"Uh... i just do?... or something........."

He's suuuuuper tired after so!!! Hugeeeee breaks...

8/10 for talent but looses points for lack of motivation to actually participate

Li ling

Yknow he doesn't understand dancing much cuz he's not a very artistic guy n all

But!! He thinks it's super cool!!

He'l watch and cheer you on but he's not too good at it and doesn't understand it that well.

But you seem happy! So! Clearly it's great!

What i'm saying is chances are he won't dance but will cheer you on either way!!

7/10 for being more supportive than Yunnie

Long mian

Elegant dragoon man also does not fully understand dancing...

Well see sorta.

His inner dragon kinda just sees it as some mating dance.. but it's not. It's just. For fun? And some dances are so.. weird to him...

He's good at classic dancing. Elegant slow stuff. He probably thinks ballet is pretty. He's also probably just generally a fan of traditional chinese dances..

If you're into modern dances he'l literally cringe at you 😭

6.5/10. Yeah ok he insulted you but he looked hot while doing it okay?? 🙄

Worst is he'd probably be so good at other dances if he tried cuz he definitely understands the artistic aspect..

Falken

5/10 so neutral

No reaction from this gentleman literally-

Like it doesn't affect him idk.

If you wanna dance, sure, he can like twirl you around a lil...

He won't really take it that seriously. If you're a dancer? A job is a job, not really his business. You're talented, he's proud of you. But that's about it.

Just the ultimate neutral.

Bonus; David

Plz plz plz plz you two... 🙏🙏🫠🫠😭😭😭

14/10. No comment.

First of all he's like so good at dancing too

And always willing to if you ever want to dance??

Heck he probably asks you first

Ugh Jacob is such a simp for his s/o lmao

But like in a cute way ok

It's adorable to see this man totally crumble and loose all his cool and blush like a madman because GAHHH YOU'RE SO COOL AND CUTE?!

He feels like he does not deserve to KNOW you like?????

Urgh and he has the trendiest shit

He probably helps you dress and vice versa....

Just, def the best for any dancer out there. You both learn from one another every day!!

It's probably just an "in-the-moment" thing, but I've zeroed in on how Tang Xuan and Li Ling refer to each other and Tang Xuan is polite and always includes Li Ling's family name while Li Ling is super casual with Tang Xuan and has called him by only his given name.

(Examples pulled from "Karma" side story (aka, the BBQ date) and "A Scary Scene" side story)

When Li Ling isn't using Tang Xuan's given name, his speech stays casual while Tang Xuan remains polite in replies.

(After their ruined date seeing the mysterious woman off)

If this is just how they talk with each other, I just want to highlight how ADORABLE it is. Tang Xuan trying to respect his senior while Li Ling is just super casual and intimate (in his speech) with his junior.

Lowkey, like to think that they're speaking in whatever this world's equivalent is to Chinese when they're together.

HI *twirls hair* what if u wrote abt dislyte boys (of ur choosing) being carried by their s/o after they get hurt?

I haven’t written for them yet so I’m gonna do Tang Xuan and Li Ling! But also lowkey *shakes them* please why is floor 80 so hard jdgksjgkds

these are also gonna be in hc format (yall pls remember to add in if you want hcs or a fic/scenario)

cw/tw: minor injuries, but nothing graphically described, some spoilers for character lore/backstory.

nav.

Like all missions for the Esper Union, there is a certain level of risk one must realize that they have to accept. Tang Xuan was no exception to this risk. While he normally wasn't the one having to deal with any sort of injuries (despite his excitable nature, he knew when to be careful), there were times where he too ended up having to make a trip to the medical tent on site to get treatment from whoever had accompanied them.

And unfortunately for him, he was a bit more injured than what he would have been happy with. (It was after Yun had left the Union. Not that he would have admitted it, but Xuan was certainly not completely at his best. Distracted? Totally.) Which was how he ended up with blood on his temple, and his foot giving a searing pain anytime he put pressure on it. So getting to the medical tent was a bit more of a struggle than what he would have liked.

He had known you were a part of this mission as well, but seeing as how you had your own responsibilities, the esper wasn't expecting to see you so soon. Your expression shocked but also worried for him. Having confided in you with what had happened with his brother but still not deciding to take a break from the Union, as the miramon certainly wouldn't take breaks for him either, your concern practically doubled-no, tripled.

What he wasn't expecting however, was one of your arms going underneath his knees, and the other behind his back as you had lifted him into your arms, keeping him close to yourself. Despite his slightly woozy state, Xuan feels a rush of heat on his face. Stammering that he didn't need to be carried only for you to insist otherwise and keep going along. The fact that you had cared enough to do so, even though it was a little embarrassing, warmed his heart just a bit. Once the embarrassment settles, he’s happy to be carried by you, laughter most likely caused by adrenaline (and maybe a little bit of embarrassment).

Contrary to his friend, a certain long haired and rambunctious young man has a slightly different reaction. Li Ling's own prideful nature, probably wouldn't realize he has to go to see someone for an injury unless he's almost dying. (Just kidding, but it's definitely one of those "It's my injury stay out of it." moments.) He sees that his strength is far above that of either miramon or Shadow Decree members, so how could they hurt him of all people? Plus he’s just that good that he wouldn’t get distracted, right?

Wrong. Even despite his skill as an Esper, he wasn’t infallible. Li Ling’s still a human after all. So when he’s unexpectedly attacked, a simple patrol didn’t warrant his attention as much as other work did, he unfortunately let his judgement slip just this once. A lucky hit, he grumbles, while your frank look proves your disbelief. Thankfully it wasn’t just him caught off-guard, otherwise he surely wouldn’t live down the embarrassment.

Only he stumbles once you convince (according to him: nag) him enough to go see any of the Union’s several medical specialists. That's when you decide he probably shouldn't walk the rest of the way there. Unceremoniously, you take him in your arms, and carry him the rest of the way while he makes a rather embarrassing noise that's a mix between a yell and a squawk. He insists that he is more than capable of walking himself and you respond dryly with just, "and do what? bump into a miramon if they so happen to appear again?"

He grumbles. Face flushed and expression flustered because even with his more fearsome reputation, there is undoubtedly going to be stares. (Xuan and Lewis stare in awe because no one has ever really made him speechless like that before, and he simply flips them off at hearing an awkward cough hiding a laugh.) Even with the short walk there, Li Ling will admit that it's kind of nice to be carried around like this (as with his extra arms, he's probably doing most of the carrying), will probably start getting comfy only when you actually have to put him down, but he'll never admit that. Although for his sake, indulge him once in a while, would you?
