Chongyun: why do you two look so sad?

Xingqiu: come sit down and we’ll tell you

Chongyun: okay?

Hu Tao: this bench was freshly painted

Curtis: Nathan was a dick, a moron, an idiot, but most importantly, he was a twat. He will be missed.

Nathan: Stop telling people I’m dead.

Curtis: Sometimes we can still hear his voice.

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”
