Chongyun: Oh, Auntie. Youre Late

Chongyun: oh, auntie. you’re late

Shenhe: yes i’m sorry. i was doing… things

Xingqiu: SHE PUSHED ME DOWN THE FUCKING STAIRS

Xiangling: my hungry ass couldn’t be a brain surgeon 💀💀

Chongyun: what do you mean? what do you mean by that?

Fatui gift exchange

Scaramouche: okay so if anyone draws their own name, we’ll all draw again

Dottore: cool

Signora: okay

Childe: what if we draw someone else’s name?

Dottore: that’s fine right? yeah

Scaramouche: that’s good, that’s what we want

Signora: what if we pick someone that we don’t like?

Childe: it’s just the four of us. do you dislike one of the four of us?

Signora: no no no. *nods her head and points to childe*

Childe: …what if we pick someone who we don’t know?

Signora: yeah what if we get a slip and it’s like Albedo Krendinprinz from Mondstat?

Scaramouche: that will not happen

Dottore: how can you be sure though?

Signora: i like Albedo well enough i just would have no idea what to get him for a gift

Scaramouche: okay so there’s only four names and it’s our four names so everyone just pick one and-

Signora: i’m worried that if i get Albedo the wrong thing, he’ll think that i’m a loser

Childe: aw really? you’re worried about that?

Signora: i’m serious i’m nervous about it

Childe: i’m sure you’ll get him the perfect thing

Signora: thanks that means a lot

Childe: i wouldn’t say it if i didn’t mean it

Scaramouche: does everyone have a slip? did anyone pick themself?

Signora: i got Childe

Scaramouche: no don’t-

Childe: i got Dottore

Dottore: guys! it’s suppose to be secret

Scaramouche: thank you!

Dottore: you’re not suppose to look at the name

Childe: ohhh

Scaramouche: well you’re allowed to- you can read your own slip

Dottore: oh. okay i got Scaramouche

Scaramouche: dude

Signora: i wish i would’ve gotten Scaramouche

Childe: what the hell?!

Signora: i don’t know if this is coming together

Dottore: i’m probably just going to get a gift for Albedo Krendinprinz from Mondstat to be safe

Childe: since my slip says Dottore does that mean he’s the one who helps me figure out what to get Albedo Krendinprinz from Mondstat?

Venti: everyone u meet is fighting a battle u know nothing about. be kind ❤️

Diluc: i once saw you punch a girl scout for not having thin mints

Venti: exactly. that was my battle. so be kind

Chongyun: when i was younger Xingqiu told me that the paper strip that’s in chocolate kisses were edible, and i ate them with the chocolate for like a year

Hu Tao: they are!!

Chongyun: wait for real?

Hu Tao: why would you believe this again 😔😔😔

reasons why xingyun is the best and most canon ship cause i love them

(not saying the other ships aren’t as great and canon, i just feel like xingyun is the one with the obvious examples)

•both of their respective character story 4’s talk about each other

•”don’t like that plan? okay, then how about i read one for you? how about… young and hopelessly smitten?”

•”xingqiu once sang a song to celebrate chongyun’s birthday, but xingqiu’s singing triggered his pure yang spirit. so whenever he sings, chongyun will get excessive nose bleeds”

•xingqiu gave chongyun a fake lead to wuwang hill for ‘The Test of Courage’, a place filled with only couples, implying he wanted to go on a date with him in chongyun’s hangout event

•rain cutter and cloud cutter

•chongyun gave silk flowers in his birthday mail, which is xingqiu’s ascension material. he goes to talk about how he feels like his face his hot and he can’t find the words he wants to write, almost like a confession. people jokingly theorize that this letter was meant for xingqiu, not the traveler

•matching tassles

•they are always together in fanart and are very rarely with anyone else or even alone without each other

•they work well together in combat (freeze spam >>)

•they are shown as kids together during the moonchase festival cutscene, meaning they are childhood friends

•xingqiu payed off the damage chongyun did during his yang outburst at wangshu inn

•xingqiu is the reason chongyun is trying to find a spirit strong enough to resist his yang energy

•xingqiu often lies about spirit sightings and goes with chongyun to exorcize these fake spirits. whether it’s to genuinely keep his spirits up, an excuse to just hang out with chongyun, or xingqiu straight up just being an mischievous brat, is up for debate (i believe it’s all three combined tbh)

•the ‘wings of golden flight’ glider’s long description talks about xingqiu and chongyun as an anonymous duo who “pierce the rainbows and slice through the frost”

and finally

•”dear chongyun”
