#a reference that only exists to tie in some funky lore

[yi-dashi]

//This poor man probably can’t even get to the graves of his grandparents back at home. They’re either buried in a pile of rubble / vines, or in a still poisonous area, or were blown up by the bombs. Worst case is if he had to relocate upturned graves when he made the new / extension to the graveyard of his home. At the very least he would then have access to them, but it’s not like he could identify them very well if the remains were displaced or destroyed.

  It speaks to a broader issue of Yi maybe not being able to identify bodies correctly when he was burying people. That makes his whole home a giant, ‘We never saw the body’ trope, but at the same time weighs pretty heavily on his mind.

#ooc #headcanon #CW: Death #this is the first headcanon post you see when you follow my blog hey how are you #I would not be surprised if people were buried in pieces and therefore #multiple people are spread in pieces across multiple graves #mixed and matched oh god...... #Yi seems to imply he just extended a graveyard that was already ruined #or that wherever he buried people used to be something else before he did it #a field of flowers apparently #a reference that only exists to tie in some funky lore #So yeah watch Doran not be dead though because Yi couldn't 100% ID his remains #Yi seems certain and that speaks for something
