Ugh I'm so glad that you see the saddest part of XiYao! A-Yao really cannot be himself around Xichen and that has to be exhausting - yet another drain to pour his energy down. We (fandom, shippers) often acknowledge the parts of XiYao that are tragic for Xichen but I've never seen anyone do that for A-Yao. The tragedy for him is... Moulding yourself into the image someone else wants (even needs) to see until you no longer recognize yourself.
That's honestly why I personally prefer ChengYao and RuoCheng - because they can accept the parts of him he wants validation for the most.
OMG this! I love xiyao to bits, and if I had to choose someone for A-Yao based on canon alone, that'd be Xichen. But that doesn't mean it's perfect.
You are right, I've seen much more on how the xiyao's divorce was so terrible for Xichen, but since A-Yao is the "bad guy", we rarely see how the relationship was less than ideal on his end too.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely believe that A-Yao adored Xichen: he was the only person A-Yao was never willing to sacrifice, the man to show him kindness regardless of circumstances and stand up for him even to his other dear ones. But the person Xichen protected and cherished all those years was not fully A-Yao, was it?
As I see it, Xichen constantly giving him the benefit of the doubt and believing A-Yao had good reasons to do what he did is a sign of trust, yes, but also chance after chance for him to prove those negative aspects of A-Yao weren't truly there. And while I can totally see that as a way for Xichen to encourage A-Yao to be a better person, it fails to acknowledge why even A-Yao has those feelings and does those things in the first place.
To keep Xichen's favor, A-Yao had to present to him that image of a good yet misunderstood man that only ever did something questionable bc there was no other choice, that it was for the greater good. Not bc he had been harboring resentment and had been traumatized to attack before someone hurts him, and who lives in a constant state of paranoia bc he is never truly safe or respected.
And damn, that must have been exhausting.
Then Guanyin Temple happened, and even Xichen turned on him. Bc at the end of the day, Xichen is a good man, and A-Yao denounced the possibility of being one too if he wanted to live safe and free from the eternal judgement of a society that hated him just for who he was born to.
In the end, Xichen had been willing to die with him, but for A-Yao there was no turning back from Xichen seeing his real self and obviously not liking it.
DUDE CHENGYAO. That's another ship I think would allow A-Yao much more freedom to show himself more completely. Bc if there is someone to understand the thirst for revenge and the need to prove himself, that's one Jiang Wanyin.
JC has his own ppl first and foremost and there's no price too high or line not worth crossing for them, so he would be much more receptive to A-Yao's actions, even sympathize with them to some extent.
I just think a lot of mutual understanding could come from them.
AND OMG YOUR BRAIN! You just made me remember those pics of WZC in his new role, all in red and looking fierce af, and everybody went full Wen furen JC... and then there's me being a total freak, combining it all in my personal not-guilty-at-all pleasure of ruochengyao BC IF THEIR DADS DON'T APPRECIATE THEM THEN DADDY WILL 😤
Why does Sanguinius get a day? I mean, Ferrus died too and you don’t see that poor bastard get anything! Ingrates and sycophants, the lot of them.
I’m newly sober and dog-paddling through the booze all around me. It’s summer, and Whole Foods has planted rosé throughout the store. Rosé…
i know ive reblogged this before but i cant find it and everyone should read it
Dealing with a Demon
The following story isn’t exactly NSFW - there’s no sex, no disrobing, etc - but it is an MC story edging towards smut, so read at your own risk. It was inspired by watching @soundshypnotic and @arihi Sunday night at Charmed, but it is not even remotely based on that scene.

Chat, is it gay for a girl to imagine a wholeass relationship with a made up girlfriend, imagining a whole life together, feeling giddy about that imaginary relationship even though it's not real and not with a real person? And also the girlfriend part
