the lightcone nowhere to run and the one of the passers by relic pieces about the bracers they share were some of the pre-beta tidbits we got from xianzhou so it was the first ship that took off. an awkwardly nonsensical theory formed around how sweet innocent yingxing was the one immortalized by a possessive dan feng to stay together forever, who then (?) turned against him, and the theory got so popular a bunch of people who just started learning chinese posted viral threads of mistranslations including how they were fiancees and were planning on dying together and "danmei-coded" which is basically one way to say hey hualians come look at this. now they're accusing jinghengs of stealing the danmei coding which i mean, if it was danmei coded enough it would probably be specific to the pairing? i mean if they want to win some kind of queercoding battle they will have to keep up with full blown romantic poetry with two male pronouns thrown left and right under jing yuan and dan heng's names that they like to pretend doesn't exist but all the best to them.
