rec churin fics...
512
it’s insane how a fictional character can trigger you this much
opinion on every member of the astral express?
like them more individually than as a group i guess
tb is top fave im sorry i rp tb as a scumbag hypocrite it's fun!
danheng is fun but i think his character arc is pretty much done so i haven't actually thot abt him much since penacony dropped
march is fun to poke fun at as tb but other than that im not much invested
i dont have much onion on himeko and welt just for the pure fact that they're obvs the designated responsible adult so we havent explored their interiors much
AE as a group kinda fell to the wayside since the first luofu quests imo
who were you before you were @kakavasha?
I think Aventurine’s transformation is his own, cause iirc Topaz said that their cornerstones manifest in different ways according to their personalities…..? according to their wishes?
Hi! I wanted to know if you know why there are so many fanarts with some kind of Aventurine mini doll/plushies. Is there a product I'm unaware of or is just a trend?
what made you love aventurine?
ngl when i first saw him in that lightcone with topaz I thot he was a dweeb.... didn't care much. until the 2.0 leaks were coming in and I saw the CN version of that scene where he pressures tb to make that deal... hearing yang chaoran's dulcet tones as churin.. i was done for. i love this asshole. then his mental illness was revealed and I'm locked tf in
2.0 and churin debut dropped on my bday so it's ✨destiny✨
do you think aven fucks? does he have rizz?
he sucks and fucks!!! he has rizz!!! but does this ever get him meaningful relationships? no!! i think this guy totally acts different from being a suave smooth talker if hes faced with someone he actually likes. acts more obnoxious definitely cuz it gets him what he wants (attention but no attachment cuz hes terrified of it)
have you ever received a good fic rec through here 😭
5 things you hate about churin?
favourite churin headcanons? 👀 and favourite churin fics? 👀👀
gosh like where do I even start? I don't have much fave hcs ATM but I've been pondering on some stuff
like how churin introduces himself not as sigonian but as an avgin specifically. he's proud of his origins sure but I also like to think he would like to separate himself from the other sigonians out of spite bc they did cast out avgins and left them to die.
I also think constantly think about how he feels slightly guilty for making avgins even more notorious after he scammed ipc twice. hc that he wishes ppl just attribute the scamming to just him specifically and not his avgin origins
Thinking some Thots as well if he would have wanted revenge on katicans himself? nobody knows the fate of katicans after the avgin genocide but god i understand why sunday had to ask if he wanted to destroy the world. if I found out I'm the last living person from my clan I will be going after their necks.
loosely connected to another hc of mine that jade gave him that earring. doesn't jade have ability to turn stuff to crystals? i kinda forgot where that was implied but I like to think that those are katicans. she didn't do it for churin specifically of course but it was state that ipc had been going against katicans already and was probably waiting for an excuse to wipe them out. I like to think after becoming a stoneheart and asking where the avgins where so he can help them, churin become lost and his next course was revenge. asked jade where they are and she just. shows the gem to him and gives it to him. god it's fucked up "kindness" from lady jade.
I CANT FIND MY THREAD OF FAVE CHURIN FICS gawd I'll get back to u if I ever find it
do you think aven is capable of cheating on his s/o? emotionally or literally? do you think he would be a homewrecker?
I'm gonna be honest I don't think this guy can ever have or form a normal relationship enough to be fully exclusive to someone. so I guess if he isn't going exclusive it's technically not cheating? 🤔
as for being a homewrecker, maybe if he benefits from it or something? not because he specifically wants one of the couple for himself or something
just wanted to say that I adore the ratman and baldie's nicknames. I don't know if you were the one who came up with them but they're funny and creative.
ahdgfsh they're just regular ole shitty nicknames thot up by some schoolyard bully (me). but tbh i wish I didn't have to use these nicknames cuz i (believe it or not) actually don't hate these two. but I had to resort to using these nicknames to protect myself from worse bullies - the internet freaks. which brings me to my major problem with these two: their fans (who are ,for the most part, internet freaks).
do you think aven is capable of being a jealous or possessive lover? why or why not?
yeah definitely. when did this loser ever let go of things easy when he can firmly (desperately) hold shit in his grasp.
you know that quote abt that goes "everything i ever let go has my claw marks on it" thats churin. he's preservation and he's desperately trying to Hold On to things esp things from his past. he kept his fathers clothes his mothers token his sister's prayers etc etc etc ... the only thing he's loose with is his h—
i mean money. for something he bases his self worth on, he just throws it around. tho i guess that's part of his "status". someone who can just not think abt throwing away money.
the real question is... can he even attach himself to anything or anybody new when he absolutely refuses to part with anything from his past? who will be this magical person who churin will be reluctant to ever part with nobody will ever know ¯\(ツ)/¯
exactlyyy you get it! completely agree that he's a guarded individual and the acid trip with kakavasha & acheron was a extreme situation that he is unlikely to ever just naturally expose. it's another reason why i think a companion quest with TB wouldn't have worked for him & why his backstory is told omnipresent rather than to someone else. it's also extremely weird to jump into romance/sex with him without considering how fucked up he is and most of all? it's BORING! imagining churin feeling UNCOMFORTABLE about being cuddled for instance. i hate how That part of fandom puts him into this poor wittle uke box where he is the subject of being coddled and loved
(usually by the dr) & that's all little kakavasha needs to HEAL and be HAPPY FOREVER. it's so fucking cringe but it's also so ridiculously idealistic like a 12yo's yaoi fanfic lol. in general, i don't like the fandom assumption that churin is ultimately looking to be pitied or seeking kindness from others because of his tragic backstory bc that is kinda insane from the guy who isn't all that kind to others himself when you get down to it lol.
my hc is that i think churin doesn't know how to respond to kindness. from how his line abt paying back the ppl from planet xxx from his character story, he HAD experienced other's kindness and its not a unique treatment that he only gets from drrat. problem is, he doesn't know how to reciprocate cuz he seemingly never had the chance. my hc is that he thinks receiving kindness is another kind of luck for him, but this luck seems to never extend beyond himself. he does want to use it for the benefit of those who had helped him.
unless its like madam jades brand of kindness. he makes snide remarks abt it but continues to accept it which makes me think that at least he knows how to handle it as long as there's a way he can pay her back. it's great it's transactional it's cold but so familiar. i wanna see how he reacts to pity tho
he's also much more familiar with being treated with disdain but i think he has long since grown thicker skin and in fact uses the stereotypes and prejudice to his advantage. he's not the poor bullied newbie in the company like others make it out to be. he wouldn't have risen up the ranks otherwise if remarks like that get to him. he hardly even blinked when sparkle deliberately said incendiary remarks about his race. he said it himself use him backstab him do whatever u see fit he doesn't give s shit.
i like your takes! particularly that you seem to be the only one who realizes churin isn’t chasing rat for his kindness or validation & that the dynamic is really carried by rat’s tsundereisms. it’s probably why i don’t like 99% of the way fandom portrayed rtrn but also avtio isnt.. totally better bc again, i don’t understand what churin would chase in rat? this makes me sound like a hater but no, i really don’t understand the appeal from his pov & circumstances. i also think “suicidal wet dog churin chasing after kindness & meaning from rat of all ppl is hilarious…. like there’s somebody he’s called kind & it wasnt even him? 🤷♀️
same i cant stand the uwu insecure need assurance bottom churin. this is what makes him virtually indistinguishable from the top twinks of other fandoms. Im also not amused the amount of oooh dr ratio is so speshul and such a charitable kind hunk and a savior of churin" praising going on. its almost feels self-inserty and by then I mean they self insert on churin. I'm just not interested in that kind of thing. I'm a #ChurinLover first and foremost.
and as a churin lover I like to see how he tries and makes plans to keep going on and survive on his own cuz that's the main thing that draws me to him apart from the whole fucked up in the head thing. he's... very good at surviving. he had gone through some absolutely horrific stuff and it fucked him up but he crawled out of that hell on his own. he deserves the credit
