Some simply forget.

Xiao
➺ Melusine event!
There was an incident along the Ley Lines, Xiao walked away unscathed of course, though a decent bit taken off his height, as he ‘s been transformed into a Melusine.
Who knows how long it’ll last.

Lost Heart AU swap
Something happened and Xiao seems… different. Filled with fury and fear after having lost his ‘heart’, he is colder than usual, quicker to anger, and incredibly… possessive?
♡ + ↻'s are welcome
After trying on the clothes he can't help but keep them on. Something about something designed so perfectly by his love left him wanting to wear it forever. He would certainly need it recreated in his normal size once he returns to normal.

// PSA from Mara to all the Zhongli/are Lapis/Morax muns;
Yes I ship ZhongXiao (and it’s variants)
I adore this ship, I am always down for this ship.
If I interact with your ship calls, but y’all prefer to keep it platonic/found family familial, lmk, I’m still down. ❤️❤️❤️
//I’m framing this comment istfg
I love my boy so much, I’m so happy that other people can look at the way envision him and go “yes, this”
I feel incredibly validated, and immensely happy that others can enjoy him the way I do ❤️
//y’all, me seeing posts seconds after being posted and immediately liking them; I use the following tab and refresh it regularly so yeah, it happens a lot and I’m left sitting here like
“Do ya think people think I sit here waiting for posts?”
Yes I just did it… again…
He’d been thinking about it since he woke up here… and maybe it was a little crazy… but he needed to go find out for himself.
Yet for once, Xiao had no patience… perhaps that’s why he was already there?
It had been easy enough to do. Go to Fontaine, find out some of their
👾 HELP the fact that directly above my post of Xiao being possessive… is art of him with Zhongli that looks like he is giving someone stink eye for looking at the old man funny. 🤣🤣🤣

//okay but, hear me out
(I’m not just being delulu over long hair Xiao, I swear)
Xiao’s hair changing length based on how comfortable he is around someone
(only after he starts working on his issues around shapeshifting but that’s a seperate issue)
stop.
“Enough-” it was quiet, not directed at the man before him, his hand curling in his hair.
“I said that’s enough!” He snapped, his shoulders shaking. How could he have acted so rashly- so much he lashed out at him, of all people? Without making sure he was a fake /first/?
👾• Old man was canonically MASKING for the war because he had to, he had to become a ruthless god of war and slaughter, for the sake of his people. To protect them.
It doesn’t take much for the Yaksha to grow violently protective.
A simple gesture, someone reaching to touch [reader]’s hair, ends with Xiao pulling them close, glaring with bared teeth at the offending party, as a layer of feathers sprout around his hairline, spear in hand.

I’m not good with my words most of the time, expressing myself in such a way is difficult. I much prefer to express myself through action.
Yet for you, I will try.
My dearest Jade. I did not think I would ever look at a mortal the way I look at you. You are a warmth
Eating... sleeping... Mortal lives are short enough without all these menial tasks...
I'm starting to find myself rather impressed with how much they can et done in their limited time...
2 ‣ He lost someone else, but retains OG Xiao’s memories of their relationship thus far, leaving him very conflicted, and highly protective. This option doesn’t lend itself to those unhealthy tendencies as much.
👾• The struggle of musing Xiao; man is not naturally social, having him meet new people and not just be like ‘Aight, bye’ and teleport away is actually really difficult sometimes 🤣
‣ SHIP PARTNERS; I will try and message everyone, there are two major options for you.
1 ‣ The person he lost was your muse from his world. Now he is ecstatic to have them back, but also displaying some very unhealthy tendencies out of fear of losing them again.
Tonight he laid in shallow waters around the marsh, watching the sky, hoping it’d cool off the warm… fuzzy, feeling that hung in the air, like something was out of place. Maybe he was overthinking, maybe it was his imagination.

His hand dropped from his hair to grab at his chest, as if suddenly falling off an adrenaline high, gasping to steady his breath.
There was a reason he usually took a nap after a hunt… but normally he’d slaughtered his prey indiscriminately… this was different. Even as his
legs tried to give out, he fought to stay upright, the change was near instantaneous, incredibly drastic. As if his fury had suddenly been contained in a little box.
And then one knee buckled, forcing him to bend, free hand extending to catch himself.
He could write a letter in response, of course, tell his beloved Jade (
@mchu088
) how much he adores the gift. But instead, he decides to show him the next time they meet.
To show him how much he loves and appreciates everything his dearest soldier does for him.
