@kikibug13

and not in a way that will be fun for him

/catches You didn't put top-level up yet?

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:38 PM

lmao no, just between the 'I just want him to be a friend' in the proposal and 'I want to be your lover' and even calling them to same thing

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:38 PM

and the way the event will make him feel

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:39 PM

he'll just want to disappear

Leviathan

@thornheart

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:40 PM

Nooo...he loves him far too much

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:40 PM

lmao and he said he was going to tell him the truth literally while... possibly lying to him

Leviathan

@thornheart

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:42 PM

He'll tell him the truth he swear it.....just holding himself back

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:43 PM

lmao he already said that he loves him as a friend so
uhhh

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:44 PM

meanwhile Xingchen absolutely meant that he can't hate Zichen. he'll just. hate himself

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:45 PM

not even the other him, the other him hasn't done the worst.

Leviathan

@thornheart

/holds Its so complicated but he doesn't love him any less

Twin is going to have so much overwhelming guilt after this

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:51 PM

twin didn't do anything wrong, he's... after the event Xingchen will be extra nice to him, to everyone. (yes, Zichen too)

Leviathan

@thornheart

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:51 PM

Yup how many times we rekt these boys

Leviathan

@thornheart

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:53 PM

It's complicated it's like he's in love with both

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:56 PM

but that's not what he said to Xingchen... almost on the same breath as 'I'm not going to lie to you'

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:56 PM

hence... breaky Xingchen

Leviathan

@thornheart

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:57 PM

Everyday...

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:57 PM

he'll just go meditate out in the snow. it's fine

Leviathan

@thornheart

Fri, Dec 11, 2020 11:59 PM

Just gonna meditate and pine for him. It's fine

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:24 AM

just don't give him promises you're going to break. don't lie to him while telling him you'll only tell him the truth. he's barely holding himself together as it is

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:24 AM

But how does he know though? Unless the twin talks to him?

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:26 AM

I mean they are in a pretty public place but also yeah he currently doesn't know, and not what they are saying to each other

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:26 AM

All right, so the only way he knows is Zichen tells him directly because he promise that if anything bad happens, he will tell him

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:27 AM

And yes, he is ready to apologize and knowing how upset they're going to be, so that's why he ask them both, "Please don't hate me"

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:29 AM

he told you he can't hate you

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:29 AM

But he's only human and he could

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:30 AM

no, just himself

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:30 AM

The question is, do you want to play this out, because he will tell him or wait?

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:32 AM

oh I'll wait for him to tell Xingchen, just. from 'I am worried for him as a friend' to this

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:33 AM

All right then, I just need to finish up logs and when I have a clean slate in the inbox, they will have a heart to heart talk. Can we have that?

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:34 AM

yy no rush, this was just an ahaha the fallout will be breaky, not an 'I'll do something impatient'

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:36 AM

It's not your fault because time zones difference, logs takes a while to finish but I rather deal with the damage

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:36 AM

yesh

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:37 AM

Also the whole fandom can joke Wangji can have a whole harem of Wwx's...so in the heart of it, it's the same weight

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:39 AM

see Xingchen wouldn't mind that as such, he basically said as much. it's the 'say one thing and do something else' that will hit him

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:40 AM

not because he thinks either Zichen or Xingchen did anything wrong or bad, but but because he believes he doesn't deserve better

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:41 AM

They have to be flexible in communicate in what to they want and we can work on that

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:42 AM

Xingchen said what he wants... Zichen to not be hurting

One Night Star

@one_night_star

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:43 AM

Do you want the twin thread to be before or after the Zichen thread? Because it kind of changes how he will react to him

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:44 AM

I'm down with either

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:45 AM

Honestly I was hoping the inbox thread we have turn into smutty or fade to black because that's the direction I'm hoping for

One Night Star

@one_night_star

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:45 AM

Same. I started with believing it was before since I had the lobby prompt before the dining hall one snd that is how my brain flowed lol.

One Night Star

@one_night_star

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:46 AM

Probably be better that way so that Zichen is the one who breaks the news to him and not twin..

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:48 AM

Honestly I thought Zichen didn't matter! When I joined the game I expected him to be a supportive friend because Xue/Xiao is a major pairing?

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:49 AM

So I'm reading these tags and I'll be like, "Why do you guys like him? He is boring?!?!"

... um
remember that xxc didn't turn suicidal until he found out he'd killed sl?

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:51 AM

that's basically The person for xxc

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:52 AM

like he was upset before that, but then? he didn't try to save himself at all. that was what made life not worth living

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:52 AM

sooo yeah? song lan is pretty important?

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:55 AM

but yeah it could still veer towards ftb, it's just a lot of emotions and 'that's an option' is still pretty new for Xingchen

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:58 AM

Yes ftb works and if it's new, then that means we have to slow down?

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:59 AM

remember this is the person who doesn't usually like being touched who just. compared to how long they have known each other, kissed him pretty recently. and while Zichen has had a lot of time to regret what he didn't do, even while he was controlled, Xingchen is still coming to terms with he didn't hate me in the first place and he doesn't hate me

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:59 AM

for killing him

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:59 AM

but instead he - loves me like that?

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 12:59 AM

it's a big shift

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 1:02 AM

He doesn't like people/strangers touching him or get close to him...but this one, Xingchen he doesn't mind

kikibug13

@kikibug13

/nodnods

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 1:04 AM

that much Xingchen is getting to understand deep inside, which is good

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 1:05 AM

But when he said friends and lovers, I think he meant friends who love each other...but you can ICily ask him and question what he means

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 1:05 AM

... but also for him sex is like. the last part of it

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 1:07 AM

But also it's perfectly fine for Xxc to be upset and mad, and go sulk in the snow and not talking to him

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 1:10 AM

he said that what he feels for the twin is very different from what he feels for this Xingchen, and that he worries about him as a friend

which is why his will be a bit of a blow

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 1:11 AM

again, not who does done whom, but the mismatch between words and actions

Leviathan

@thornheart

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 1:14 AM

The only way I can think of is have them talk in the ic inbox and work their issues out

kikibug13

@kikibug13

Sat, Dec 12, 2020 1:16 AM

that can help, though possibly after the envy/possessiveness thing wears out
