my boy hasn't been relevant to the wuwa story since the game released, but by god, do i have so many thoughts about jiyan tonight

[knghtlock]

you know, if you told hotaru they'd not only get lost in the infinite forest chasing a fucking siege minotaur of all things, but also fall THROUGH an upside down ocean & into the sky... they'd think you're crazy. laugh, even.

because, you know, their current predicament is actually nuts. because hotaru's currently falling through the sky after fighting in a sea of stars, & they have no idea how they'll survive the impact.

the guardian makes quick work of the minotaur, cloaking themself in neon - blue light that pierces their robotic adversary in half, bringing them ever closer to the ground. cyan eyes scan for literally anything that could break their meteoric fall, before settling on some... weird rocky creature on the imminently approaching ground.

perfect.

"look out belooooow! " the guardian grips their sword, tight, before bringing down the full force of their descent upon the beast. arcs of blue lightning scorch the spot where they land as the two halves of the minotaur land behind them & the weird mountain-y looking rock thing falls in front of them, bisected cleanly down the middle...

and revealing the person it was attacking. shit. shit!!!!

" hold --- hold on! don't shoot! ( or stab me with that spear, that looks like it'd hurt worse. ) " their helmet's pulled off to reveal a mess of white hair, the warrior offering a shaky smile to the poor guy they probably scared the shit out of. ( he looks pretty tough though, maybe they should be a little more worried about getting stabbed. )

"see? i'm uh -- " hotaru raises their hands, the sword disappearing in a blink of an eye in an offer of peace, " i'm here to help! wherever... here is..." / @qinglourn

What interesting times they live in. An increase in tacet discord activity, the retroact rain's reemergence, and strangers from other worlds suddenly appearing in Huanglong; what could possibly be going on? The Battle Beneath the Crescent seems like it was merely a catalyst for more chaos and imbalance.

And imbalanced, Solaris-3 surely is. He wasn't expecting to be greeted with a stranger's presence watching the enemy before him split down the middle by another blade. Instinctively, he jumps back out of the way as the body comes crashing down. The Rocksteady Guardian lands with a resonating THUD at their feet. And with it, a calm and silence overcame the field they stood in. Glowing amber eyes look to the warrior amidst their panic and assurance for peace.

Jiyan doesn't dismiss the Qingloong, the power of the wind beneath his palm a soothing presence. As friendly as this stranger seems for now, the General must remain vigilant... However, he allows his stance to relax, holding the spear at his side. His soft heart will be his undoing, but their confusion and intent seems... earnest. Perhaps they're like Rover; unknown, lost in a world they don't understand.

❝ I don't intend to harm you... unless you give me reason otherwise. ❞ He takes a careful step towards the stranger. ❝ Thanks are in order, but I must ask: who are you? Where are you from? ❞

don't mind me throwing down a few things that have been plaguing my mind ever since i made this blog. they're all going to be under the cut to keep this from hogging up people's dashes!

i just want to come out the gate saying that j*yan is literally just a guy, fully human despite the dragon / loong allegations. however, he does have certain features that lean into the dragon / loong imagery ( the "scale" on his cheek, the way his eyes change when the qingloong is lending their power to him, etc. ) that certainly do not help, both in and out of game

following that, the "scale" we see on j*yan's left cheek is a result of his partnership with the qingloong, but not in the way most people believe. it's not a mutation from the qingloong directly; he's already got a tacet mark for that. it's just a tattoo that extends over the left half of his body down to his hip. he got it ( and the other dragonesque regalia ) for two purposes: as a way to honor the qingloong and the ways they've changed who j*yan is as a person, and as a way to ease any fears others may have about the power the loong carry. dealing with rumors that he's the qingloong in human form is just a small price to pay to inspire hope in his rangers rather than fear

he's such a sentimental bastard. just like with the tattoo and the gourd medicine container from his mother, he'll find a way to carry a token from the people who matter to him

j*yan has a close relationship with his mother. there was a rift when he left medicine to pursue a career as a soldier... but she's the only parent he's ever known. she's always had to be both his mother and his father. it didn't take long for them to patch things up and maintain the closeness they had when he was very young. he calls her via terminal at least once a week and visits her clinic in jinzhou whenever he's in the city

[qinglourn]

i don't typically post nsfw content, but i have a thought™

j*yan may be a general and someone with power and control over many things for his job, but he absolutely relinquishes control to his partner in his personal life. there's nothing and no one that can convince me this man isn't submissive and like putty in his partner's hands. he'll easily comply with whatever his partner wants to do and lets them chase their pleasure first before he ever addresses his own

A few drawings I did of Jiyan from the PV, now that it's out I'll post them [reading] Everyone who was part of it worked hard!

[flyfalcons]

as many of you know, i lost many of my own family in the genocide in gaza. this eid, please take the time to donate as little as a dollar to a gofundme here through the continuously updating gazafunds page. if everyone who liked/reblogged this left even a dollar, it would help save thousands of families from facing the same fate as mine. thank you.

[qinglourn]

i know i need to go to bed soon, but every time i study jiyan's idle animations, it leaves me with so many questions about the qingloong

this is a reminder to myself to write up something about how the sonoro sphere in j*yan's companion quest serves as symbolism for his inner state

[shuuenka]

"You said you would protect us... but why?"

[qinglourn]

He's seen enough ghosts these days. Between the retroact rain's phantoms and the TD's mimicry of fallen comrades, it's left Jiyan with much to contemplate. Ever since the day Sentinel Jué made him the general of the Midnight Rangers and granted him the companionship of the Qingloong, he's sworn himself to one cause: to defend life by any means necessary. No more soldiers sacrificed for the greater good, no more lives ended far too early by disasters. He, the General, will not go down while Jinzhou and its people need protecting.

And yet, his thoughts drift to Knell Square and the field of Emortias. Such a beautiful and tragic display. Each seed planted is a life he failed to protect, immortalized in the soil. Jiyan may be fallible, but it does nothing to ease the weight upon his conscious and shoulders. Regardless of his regrets, it can't linger forever. His focus has to be on the now, on the living still under his command. The sound of a door opening breaks him from his haze, eyes flying up to the sudden visitor.

@havocblade: ' were you expecting someone else? '

❝ No, no, I... ❞ An embarrassed smile rises on his face as he dips his head respectfully in her direction. ❝ Forgive me, Rover. You surprised me, that's all. How can I help you today? ❞

[qinglourn]

@juenhsi asked: ' when did it start raining? '

The retroact rain, the increase in TD activity near Desorock Highland... Jiyan knows exactly what this means. And Jinhsi does too. They, the chosen of Jué, were shaped by the Battle Beneath of the Crescent. And here they are once more with Ovathrax's rise looming on the horizon. Gold eyes trail from the holograph to the moon rising in the sky beyond. Staring at the landscape now, it's almost like they've gone back in time. Arms cross against his chest as he releases a sigh, focusing on his report.

❝ An hour ago. We started taking action once we realized what was going on. I spoke with the Academy and they're working to get an antidote ready for our soldiers as soon as possible. The Midnight Rangers have their orders as well.

❝ The Vanguard is with me at the Desorock Highland outpost to face the Tacet Discords directly. The Rearguard is to defend Jinzhou and work alongside city officials. The Outriders are joining them in the chance that Tacet Discords get close to the city. ❞ It's not much, considering the weight on both of their shoulders, but he offers her a small smile. ❝ They're ready to follow you and assist you however they can, Madam Magistrate. ❞

i have so many thoughts rotating around in my mind, but i'll never be over just how thoughtful jiyan is. he prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of the soldiers under his command above all else, even extending that kindness beyond the battlefield. it's not enough for them to just be physically healthy, but mentally as well. burnout is just another path to hasten others towards despair

soldiers aren't pawns that are easily expendable. they're people, human beings with others who matter to them and lives to continue living once they leave the battlefield. the best soldier, in jiyan's eyes, is the one that's allowed to live a fulfilling life and make the most of the time they have. duty is important, yes, but being a soldier isn't all that these people are

love is such a strong motivator that it can't be overlooked. as bil.l wit.hers once sung, "we all need somebody to lean on". the bonds we share with others are vital in making us who we are and jiyan recognizes that. it's why he has no problem, just like in one of his character stories, ensuring soldiers get time to be away from the battlefield to go home or even take on expenses himself to cover important surgeries and hospital visits for their loved ones
