hi anon! tbh i never really thought about selfcest before getting into hsr and in my early days i didn't really care for it much? but then ichor of two dragons came out and dan feng's design got revealed and i read some rly good fics and so i was like, ok i can be convinced bc i think of dan feng and dan heng as separate entities (its more complicated than that but ykwim) and then later i read yingren fics by a friend and was like ok.... i can be convinced.

so i do actually enjoy yingren and fengheng!! yingren is really interesting bc as we know yingxing has been called arrogant multiple times, and it was that hubris that led to his involvement in the sedition with dan feng (and whatever the fuck they did bc hoyo REFUSES TO TELL US), so i wonder how ren feels about his former self? does he hate him? does he resent who he used to be? or does he pity him? this is a question that is also very personal to me bc i self-reflect on my own life a little too much sjgklsds

fengheng i see a lot of nasty smut for, which is completely understandable (bc instead of one dragon twink now we have TWO dragon twinks!) and i do enjoy that sometimes but i think there's also a lot of potential for like different relationship dynamics that could happen. bc dan heng was reborn and then forcefully injected with dan feng's memories, so he knows those do not belong to him.

-- OKAY HELP I WAS ANSWERING YOUR ASK THEN I REALIZED THE THING ABOVE ABOUT DH BEING INJECTED WITH DF MEMORIES AND THEN I MESSAGED MY JRH SERVER ABT THIS REALIZATION AND THEN WE GOT COMPLETELY SIDTRACKED TALKING AND THEN SOMEHOW ENDED UP AT DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY ASGJKLSDJL
