Maybe chemistry is just leftover love from a past life. Maybe it was so strong it lingered, latched onto the soul like a stain, a pretty purple bruise. Maybe that’s why you feel so instantly drawn to some people. Why you click. Why you work, easy as breathing. The soul remembers.
shipping jingheng feels a little like watching yoi back in 2016. every week we go "haha what if... but surely that won't happen... haha...." and every week they go

Boothill who never really considers he may be touchstarved until Aventurine leans against his shoulder while reading something. Until the distance between their bodies crumbles and touch becomes common instead of a rarity; small caresses that start to linger.
btw reminder that if you can’t donate there’s a lot of petitions you can sign and audios/filters on tiktok u can use (everytime u use the audio/filter the creator gets money and donates it for palestine) links in replies ⬇️⬇️⬇️

actors AU thoughts:
Aventurine who rose to popularity extremely fast and became beloved by everyone. Boothill who didn’t really intend to get into the business, but Dan Heng, friend and photographer, asked if he could jump in for a minor role.
I still cannot believe that JY waited with his rerun for DH so they could be together for LNY… I just cannot believe that our delusions were right… Jingheng nation stays winning 🥹
A small thing that I love about avenhill is their mirrored poses. They both have one outstretched hand with the other on their hip, and when standing side-by-side, they quite literally guard each other's backs 🥹
⚠️ 2.3 spoilers //
#avenhill
Don't even get me started on the fact that Boothill really just casually called Aven "partner," I'm never moving on from that
@lunaedanheng
I’ve been thinking about this non-stop like this made it even more obvious that all the physical contact wasn’t technically necessary but DH just /had/ to hold him and make sure he was okay 🥹🥹🥹
Honestly jh so real I don’t even get surprised by anything anymore. They could kiss on-screen and I would just be like "yeah" before I pass out and die tbh
do u ever like a ship so much u want to throw up and explode a million times every single second u think abt them like they make ur brain into pasteb and tenderize yku like a littlesteak
#avenhill
and "there was only one bed"
The first time he and Boothill share a bed, it’s out of necessity—a late night stop in the middle of nowhere, a shabby little inn that has seen better days a long time ago. But any bed is better than none, Aventurine has learned.
@lunaedanheng
Sometimes it really feels like some people don't actually care for DH as an individual but only if he's involved in their ship of choice and it shows. Him spending the new year on the Luofu (in his real form, no less) is a massive development for him.
So you’re gonna make Aven’s E6 totally a reference to him and Boothill working together and then make their eidolons match perfectly and I’m supposed to be sane?
Avenhill actors AU:
I think a lot about Aventurine being his stage name, and it being part of his marketing, too. How jade and aventurine jewelry spikes in popularity because of him.
I think about Boothill whispering "Kakavasha" against his forehead with a kiss.

I think Boothill has very sensitive ears, and since the rest of his body is mechanical, Aventurine likes to give special attention to them. Rubbing, pinching, biting, licking. Tilting Boothill’s head back to expose what remains of his neck—
Not single or taken but so utterly entangled with someone else’s soul it’s like a two for one deal. No need to define that relationship. It transcends definition.
Avenhill actors AU:
Aventurine has no problem teasing the fans and being seen physically close to Boothill at the start—when no real feelings have been caught yet. But it all starts to shift as he realizes that there’s more to it this time.
This was supposed to end after the first tweet but it ran away from me. Don’t even get me started on Aven’s side of this 🤺 These two have such an intricate relationship with intimacy and would be so healing for each other. Their unspoken understanding is so important to me.
Boothill getting seriously injured during a shoot. Aventurine being visibly shaken.
His eyes are wide in shock. It’s the first time others see a crack in his usual act and smile.
He doesn’t really understand how touchstarved he is until Aventurine is in his arms and the difference of their bodies strikes him with crystal clarity. How he is mostly machine, now, and will never be able to experience Aventurine’s touch as he would have in the past.
Noticed some very interesting things that Boothill's trailer tells us!
A long analysis of it, its place in the story, and what I think it could mean for 2.3.
Boothill closes his eyes as he focuses on what he /can/ still feel: Aventurine’s soft breath against his neck, the part that still remains human. The shallow rise and fall of Aventurine’s chest as he slumbers peacefully, a miracle in its own right.
The surge of regret passes as fast as it arrived, leaving like a sigh. Because while the past has been written and cannot be changed, he is still here. Alive. The past brought him here and it is proof that he lived in spite of everything—that the future is yet to be determined.
@lunaedanheng
Man I won't lie, but that, and then their response how people pointing this out are "missing the point" got me so heated.
I get missing him but he quite literally is not just locked up in there. He's flourishing and walking free in his homeland for the first time.

Before they’re together, Boothill’s accident leaves him out of commission for a while, and it becomes more difficult for them to see each other. Because now they don’t have a project to use as an excuse.
