HELLO RESIDENT LOVER OF ADEPTAL AND LIYUE LORE CAN I PLEASE HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS ON LANTERN RITE GUIZHONG AND MADAME PING BC OHHH BOY THEY REALLY WENT AND USED 知音 AND IM. IM. //muffled screaming//
you have no idea how shocked i was, you're gonna need a bit of context;
so, i've never really been a guizhong/zhongli believer. like i have absolutely nothing against the ship and i think it's very cute, but i personally never subscribed to the idea that that was what hoyoverse was going for. it just didn't seem... it seemed like wasted ship bait potential, if you were going to give THE zhongli a sweetheart and then just... have them be already dead lmao. esp since hoyo seems evasive of straight ships, which- i mean i'm not complaining. like not to make an obvious zhongchi statement but zhongchi seemed far more logical for ship bait than... what's the shipname for guizhong and zhongli........ zhongzhong??? anyway, them.
so in my mind i was always "well it can't be zhongli with guizhong, but surely it wouldn't be guizhong on her own, they're not that brave." i considered it being guizhong and cloud retainer, since moon carver and mountain shaper have something suspicious going on, and azhdaha is dead, and all other known adepti are also all dead or yakshas, so no.
so i figured, well if it's not zhongli, then the only other adeptus of their generation who seemed to follow guizhong's example and lived among the people (and understood humans!) was..... madame ping. who for all intents and purposes seemed to be quite close to zhongli as well, so it wasn't hard to imagine her having been close to guizhong, too. like, of all the adepti of their generation (so all adepti bar ganyu, xiao, and yanfei), madame ping and zhongli are the only ones living in the harbor, among the humans. they're the only ones living by guizhong's example. so if it isn't him, then it would be her.
so, for the LONGEST time, i had a vague crackship/jokeship in the back of my mind that was literally madame ping when she was/looked younger and guizhong. i am not kidding. you don't see it in cyanide narwhal because, as i said, it was an amusing crackship for myself only and cyanide narwhal is more focused on guizhong's friendships anyway, so it would've been weird to add this seemingly nonexistent crackship for no good reason other than having to pair guizhong up so she's not alone (which. ew. no)
so you can imagine my bewhilderment when cloud retainer, of all people, basically confirmed my crackship. and yes i do subscribe to that ship, like you said, it's far too suspicious not to be something. you don't just have a rival turned bestie who you compose for and then never play music again after they're gone because it's no longer the same. i'm a bit affronted at how unbelievably obvious they are, like holy fuck. truly the rivals to friends to lovers of MADAME PING being revealed this lantern rite was not on my bingo card.
(neither was guizhong being revealed at all, but oh well.)
so uh,
sorry for the long rant lmao but your ask kind of enabled my thoughts to pour out so here it is,,,,

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.
Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”
Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”
The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.
Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”
Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.
Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

chapter 50 chapter 50 time!!!! i see i am still being dealt emotional damage (in a good way? i think??). also. not to wish for ajax to have to see and deal with his dad again but that dude indeed needs at the Very least, a very big scare. as the least of all things he deserves (and i fully admit to having a biased view on that). if not the uhh *glances at list of more "acceptable actions" and doesn't find what i am looking for* more extreme kind of action, to not name names- :D .... suffice to say, i am really quite looking forward to the next chapter to see just how that goes down- though, specifically, i look forward to every new chapter, of course; it's just that some may contain, y'know, events or happenings that have been specifically waited for, perhaps moreso than for others
although. i realise im struggling to actually say as much as i normally would because i read it while i was still rather sleepy so i have a very foggy grasp on the details of what happened/what i would want to say. which means i must reread it. that is hardly a problem however
... since i am already here, i don't suppose that you might've received an @ in the past day or two? *chuckles nervously* if tumblr ate it i really won't know what to do, it feels like asking about it is a bit- idk, a bit too soon?? pushy? *shrugs helplessly and retreats to the void*
oh! no, no worries, it's not soon nor pushy; please for whoever @s me anywhere consider sending an ask, even if it's "hey i @'ed you!". i have a horrendous track record with keeping up with those, i don't know why;;;;;;;;; it's not like i get many of them! sigh
anyway,
thank you!! i'll go check that out immediately!
happy to know you liked the chapter <3

its so scary to put yourself out there but a SINGLE message saying "hi i loved what you made it touched me in some way" makes it all worth it 10000%

if there's anything i've learned from the current state of social media it's that this is one of the worst possible notifications you can receive upon opening an app
