REASONS WHY I THINK HUA CHENG AND MU QING WOULD MAKE GREAT FRIENDS !!!!!
— presentation by onigiri
their past : both hua cheng and mu qing came from poor and somewhat broken homes (mq poor single mother, and hq abusive family) so they can share the sentiment of struggling for survival from a young age
bullying/bad peers : many people have looked down on mu qing and hua cheng ever since they were young. mu qing often got cornered by his peers while hua cheng was bullied by the rich brats quite often.
loyality : both of them are fiercely loyal people, even though they have different ways of showing it. neither of them ever hesitated to put their life on line of xie lian (mu qing almost jumping in the lava to save xl, and hua cheng giving away his entire spiritual energy)
can't confess for shit : whether platonic or romantic both of them are hesitant to say their feelings out right on the face (possible fear of rejection). took them life threatening situations to finally admit their feelings.
past interactions : mu qing was the one who covered up for xie lian to save hua cheng. mu qing also send hua cheng away because he didn't want a kid getting involved in war.
sarcastic assholes : do it even need to elaborate on that ???????
both are sabre wielders and also excel in wielding swords.
cat people !!!!!!! : wasn't there one official art where both of them were drawn as cats. yes.
Style and fashion sense : i feel like they put effort in styling and fashion. Both of them have particular styling and taste in decor. also both of them have undertones of red and black (red more prominent with hua cheng ofc with black here and there, but mu qing wears red under robes with black more prominent)
confidence/achievements : we need to look into this more because they literally climbed up the ranks just cause they believed in themselves and knew they could achieve it. they are the definition of started from the bottom and we are here. (im so proud of them sobs)
always bickering and trying to start up fights which!!!! maybe not come off as friendly (it's really not) but im willing to turn a blind eye to it BUAHAHAH
dynamics with partners : the way hua cheng gets along with he xuan, is much similar to fengqing. like both of them are bitches in the friendship who are always making smart retorts and trying to get the upper hand.
concluding this presentation i would like to say that huaqing best friends !!!!!!!! <3
thank you for coming to my ted talk !!
